造价工程师建设工程造价案例分析第二套真题附答案建设工程造价案例分析真题解析【案例一】（2016真题改）（20分）某企业拟于某城市新建一个工业项目，该项目可行性研究相关基础数据如下：1.拟建项目占地面积30亩，建筑面积11000m2，其项目设计标准，规模与该企业2年前在另一城市的同类项目相同已建同类项目的单位建筑工程费用为1600元/m2，建筑工程的综合用工量为4.5工日/m2，综合工日单价为80元/工日，建筑工程费用中的材料费占比为50%，机械使用费占比为8%，考虑地区和交易时间差拟建项目的综合工日单价为100元/工日，材料费修正系数为1.1，机械使用费的修正数为1.05，人材机以外的其它费用修正系数为1.08。
根据市场询价，该拟建项目设备投资估算为2000万元，设备安装工程费用为设备投资的15%。
项目土地相关费用按20万元/亩计算，除土地外的工程建设其他费用为项目建安工程费用的15%，项目的基本预备费率为5%，不考虑价差预备费。
2.项目建设期1年，运营期10年，建设投资全部形成固定资产。
固定资产使用年限为10年，残值率为5%，直线法折旧。
3.项目运营期第1年投入自有资金200万元作为运营期的流动资金。
4.项目正常年份销售收入为1560万元（不含销项税额），增值税税率为17%，增值税附加税率为10%，项目正常年份年经营成本为400万元（不含可抵扣的进项税额30万）。
项目运营第1年产量为设计产量的85%，第2年及以后各年均达到设计产量，运营期第1年的销售收入，经营成本，增值税、可抵扣的进项税额和增值税附加均为正常年份的85%。
企业所得税率为25%。
问题：（计算结果保留两位小数）1.列式计算拟建项目的建设投资。
2.若该项目的建设投资为5500万元，建设投资来源为自有资金和贷款，贷款为3000万元，贷款年利率为7.2%（按月计息），约定的还款方式为运营期前5年等额还本，利息照付方式。
分期列式计算项目运营期第1年，第2年的总成本费用和净利润以及运营期第2年年末的项目累计盈余资金，（不考虑企业公积金，公益金提取及投资者股利分配）。

四、父摇卦测子何时得工作，以何爻为用神?如何断卦?答：按六爻测事，不必拘泥于只取一个用神。
此问从六亲运气角度，可取子孙爻为用神；从问事性质角度，可取官鬼爻为用神。
关键在于怎样断卦。
此问可按如下步骤断：1、看子孙爻处在旺相休囚死的什么状态，如为休囚无气、空破墓绝、受动变爻之克，则不吉；如旺相（包括空伏）则为运气好、状态不错。

of their cats.The findings suggest that just as apparent personality can affect the personality of a child,the same is true for a cat and its owner.Owners defined as individuals with high levels of anxiety,fear,anger,depression and loneliness were more likely to have cats with behavioral issues.Such cats display more aggressive and anxious behavioral styles as well as more stress related sickness.They will also more likely to have an ongoing medical condition and be overweight.The research also found that mentally well-adjusted owners had come from happier and healthier cats.Researchers explained that many owners regard their pets as a family member and form close social bonds with them.(17)The majority of owners want to provide the best care for their pets and is therefore possible that pets could be affected by the way their owners interact with and manage them.The study highlights an important relationship between our personalities and the well-being of our pets.(18)Further research is needed to investigate the cause of nature of this relationship and look at how owners’personalities are directly influencing their pet’s behavior and well-being.It is possible that the well-being of pets is driven by the underlying nature of the owner not simply by their conscious decisions and behaviors.16.What do we learn from the new study by the University of Lincoln?17.What does the passage say most pet owners want to do?18.What does the passage say it’s still needed to understand the effects of owners’personalities on their pets?Passage Two(19)One 50-minute run can add seven hours to your life.This was a claim made by The Times last week.The claim was based on a new review of studies about the effects of running.The review concluded that an average runners live three years longer than non-runners and that running does more to extend life than any other form of exercise.But there’s more to running than its health benefits.(20)Research published in recent years have shown that running changes your brain and mind in some fascinating ways from increasing your brain function to regulating your emotions.However,the precise effects vary according to whether you engage in short fast running or long distance running.For example,in one study,researchers compared participants’ability to learn new words after several minutes of intense running,and after 40 minutes of gentle running,participants were able to learn 20 percent faster after the intense running and they showed a superior memory when tested again a week later.In another study,researchers asked volunteers to jog for 30 minutes and then showed them clips from a sad movie.Participants who usually struggled to handle negative emotions were more intensely affected by the sad clips just as you’d expect.But crucially,this was less so if they had completed the 30 minutes jog.(21)The researchers said moderate exercise appears to have helped those participants to be less vulnerable to the impact of the sad movie.19.What did the new review of studies claim?20.What is one effect that running has on people according to recent research?21.What did another study find about the participant after they had a 30 minutes jog?Passage ThreeWelcome to the tour of the Hill House.This house built in 1904 is one of the most well-known works of Charles Hill,the famous architect.It was designed and built for local entrepreneur and his family.Before starting the tour,let me giveyou a brief introduction about the design of this amazing building.(23)Prior to beginning his design,the architect spends sometime in the client’s old home,observing their life and studying their habits.This meant that he could design the house according to the needs of the family.(24)The client’s main desire was to have a home with unique design,so the architect was given complete freedom.The building style is radically different from what was the fashion of the period.At the time,most large homes were constructed of timber and brick.This one,however,is made of concrete,a novel construction material in those days.The interior of the house,including the fittings and furniture,was also designed by the same person.Most of the furniture you will see is original and in good condition.However,(25)both pieces in the children’s bedrooms are copies built to the designs of the architect.Fortunately,all the blueprints for both the building and its contents have been preserved,so we’ve been able to replace badly damaged furniture.Let’s begin our tour,starting from the rooms.22.What do we learn about the speaker?He is the guide of the tour.23.What dis the architect do before beginning his design?24.What did the architect’s client mainly want?25.What do we learn about the pieces of furniture in the children’s bedrooms?1.D)He did an unusual good deed2.C)Give some money to the waiter3.A)Whether or not to move to the state's mainland4.B)It costs too much money5.A)To investigate whether people are grateful for help6.C)They held doors open for people at various places7.B)Most people express gratitude for help8.C)To enquire about solar panel

the internet is developing so rapidly,the way of transportation keeps changing surprisingly.New applications on transportation emerge abundantly,contributing to the fact that people*s lifestyle has been changed as well.The changes in the way of transportation can be listed as follows.First of all,with the development of technology,the price of transportation is much cheaper than before.Moreover,compared with traditional ways of buying tickets,transportation applications and websites give passengers the opportunityto book tickets online without going outside to particular ticket offices.Besides,highspeed railways gradually replace the oldfashioned green trains,which can tremendously improve travelers’comfort during the journey and shorten the time spent on the way.From my perspective,the changes in the way of transportation mainly lie in the good respects.As one of the fortunate passengers who live in the age of internet and can get access to online service of transportation,I can*t help exclaiming:it is the best of times.六、翻译部分：春节前夕吃团圆饭是中国人的传统。

TheRialto Bridge is one of the four bridges spanning the Grand Canal.It is the oldest bridge across the canal , and w as the dividing line between the districts of SanMarco and San Polo. But on this day, there was a twist : it was filled with Venetians, nottourists.B)"People are cheering and holding their carts in the air," says Giovanni Giorgio, who helped organize the march with a grass-roots organization called Gener azione '90. The carts herefers to are small shopping carts —the symbol of a tr ue Venetian. "It started as a joke," hesays with a laugh."The idea was to put blades on the wheels! You know? Like Ben Hur.Preciselylike that, you just go around and run people down."C) Venice is one of the hottest tourist destinations in the world. But that's a p roblem. Up to90,000 tourists crowd its streets and canals every day — far outn umbering the 55,000 permanent residents. The tourist increase is one key re ason the city's population is downfrom 175,000 in the 1950s. The outnumb ered Venetians have been steadily fleeing. Andthose who stick around are tir ed of living in a place where they can't even get to the marketwithout swimming through a sea of picture-snapping tourists. Imagine,navigating through50, 000 people while on the way to school orto work.D)Laura Chigi, a grandmother at the march, says the local andnational gove rnments havefailed to do anything about the crowdsfor decades, because they're only interested intourism — the primary industry in Venice, worth more than $3 billion in 2015. "Venice is acash cow,"she says, "and everyone wants apiece."E) Just beyond St. Mark's Square, a cruise ship passes, one of hundreds every year thatappear overtheir medieval ( 中世纪的) surroundings. Their massive wake creates waves atthe bottom of the sea, weakening the foundations of the centuries-old buildings themselves. "Every time I see a cruise ship, I feel sad,"Chigi says."You see the mud itdrags; the destruction it leaves in its wake? That hurts the ancient wooden poles holding up the cityunderwater. One day we'll see Ve nice break down."F)For a time, UNESCO, the cultural wing of the United Nations, seemed to ag ree. Two yearsago, it put Italy on notice, saying the government was not prot. .专业知识分享 . .. WORD 格式整理 . .ecting Venice. UNESCOconsiders the entire city a World HeritageSite, a greathonor that means Venice, at thecultural level, belongs to all ofthe world's people. In 2014, UNESCO gave Italy two years tomanage Venice'sflourishing tourism or the city would be placed on another list —WorldHeritage InDanger, joining such sites as Aleppo and Palmyra, destroyed by thewar in Syria.G) Venice's deadline passed with barely a murmur ( 嘟哝) this summer, just as UNESCO wasmeeting in Istanbul. Onlyonerepresen tative , Jad Tabet from Lebanon, tried to raise the issue."For several years, the situation of heritage in Venice has beenworsening, and it hasnow reached a dramatic situation," Tabet told UNESCO."We have to act quickly — there isnot a moment towaste."H) But UNESCO didn't even hold a vote."It's been postponed until 2017," says Anna Somers,the founder andCEO of The Art Newspaper and the former head of Venice inPeril, a group devoted to restoring Venetian art. She says the main reason the U.N. culturalorganizationdidn't vote to declare Venice a World Heritage Site In Danger isbecause UNESCO hasbecome "intensely politicized. There would have been someback-roomnegotiations."I) Italy boasts more UNESCO World Heritage Sites than any othercountry in the world,granting it considerabl e power and influence within theorganization. The former head of theUNESCO World Heritage Centre, whichoversees heritage sites, is Francesco Bandarin, aVenetian who now serves asUNESCO's assistan t director -general for culture.J) Earlier this year, Italy signed an accor d with UNESCO to establish a taskforce of police artdetectives andarchaeologists ( 考古学家) to protec tcultural heritage from natural disastersand terror groups, suc h as ISIS. The accor d underlined Italy's globa l reputation as a goodstewar d of art and culture.K) But adding Venice to the UNESCOendangered list— which is dominated by sites indeveloping and conflict -riddencountries — would be an internationalembarrassment , andcould even hurtItaly'sprofitable tourism industry. TheItalian Culture Ministry says itis unaware of any government effortsto pressure UNESCO. As for the organization itself, it declined arequest for aninterview .L) The city's current mayor, Luigi Brugnaro, has ridiculed UNESCO andtold itto mind its ownbusiness, while continuing to support the cruiseship industry,which employs 5,000Veniceresidents.M) As for Venetians, they're beyond frustrated andhoping for a solution soo n."It's a nightmarefor me. Some situations are really difficultwith tourists around," says Giorgio ashe navigates around a swelling crowd at the Rialto Bridge."There are just so many of them.They never know where they are going, anddo not walk in an orderlymanner. Navigatingthe streets can beexhausting.". .专业知识分享 . .. WORD 格式整理 . .N) Then it hits him: This crowd isn't made up of tourists. They'reVenetians. Giorgio sayshe'snever experienced the Rialto Bridge this way in all his 22 yea rs."For once, we are the oneswho are blocking the traffic," he saysdelightedly."It feels unreal. It feels like we're someform of endangered species . It's justnice. The feeling is just pure." But, he worries, iftourism isn'tmanaged and his fellow locals continue to move to the mainland, his generationmight bethe last who can call themselves native Venetians.36. T he passing cruise ships will underminethe foundations of the ancient b uildingsinVenice.37. T he Italian government has just reached an agreement with UNESCO to take measures to protect its culturalheritage.38. The heritage situation in Venice has been deteriorating in the pastfew years.39. T he decrease in the number of permanent residents in Venice is mainly due to theincrease oftourists.40. I f tourism gets out of contro l , native Venetians may desert thecity altogether one day.41. UNESCO urged the Italian government to undertake its responsibilitytoprotect Venice.42. T he participants in the Venetian march used shopping cartsto show they were 100% localresidents.43. I gnoring UNESCO's warning, the mayor of Venice maintains his support ofthe city'stourism industry.44. O ne woman says that for decades the Italian government andlocal author ities have onlyfocused on the revenues from tourism.45. U NESCO has not yet decided to put Venice on the list of WorldHeritage Si tes In Danger.Section CDirections : There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questionsor unfinished statements. For each of them there are four cho ices marked A), B), C) andD). You should decide on the bestchoice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet2 with asingle line through the cen tre.Passage OneQuestions 46 and 50 are based on the following passage .Living in an urban area with green spaces has a long- lasting positive impac t on people's mental well-being, a study has suggested. UK researchers found moving to a green spacehad a sustained positive effect, unlike pay rises or promotions, which only provided a short-term boost . Co-author Mathew Whit. .专业知识分享 . .. WORD 格式整理 . .e, from the University of Exeter, UK, explained that thestudy showed people living in greener urban areas were displaying fewersigns of depression or anxiety . "There could be a number of reasons," he said,"for example,people do many things to make themselves happier:they strivefor promotion or pay rises,or they get married. But the trouble with those things is that within six months to a year,people are back to their original baseline levels of well-being. So, these things are notsustainable; they don't make us happy in the long term. We found that for some lottery ( 彩票) winners who had won more than ￡500,000 the positive effect was definitely there, butafter six months to a year, they were back to thebaseline."Dr. White said his team wanted to see whether living ingreener urban areashad a lasting positive effect on people's sense of well-being or whether the effect also disappeared after aperiod of time. To do this, the team used data from the British Household Panel Surveycompiled by the Universityof Essex.Explaining what the data revealed,he said:"What you see is that even after threeyears, mental health is still better, which is unlike many other things that we think will make ushappy." He observed that people living in green spaces were less stressed, and less stressedpeople made more sensible decisions and communicated better.With a growing body of evidence establishing a linkbetween urban green spaces and apositive impact on human well-being, Dr. White said,"There's growing interest among publicpolicy officials, but thetrouble is who funds it. What we really need at a policy level is todecide wherethe money will come from to help support good quality local green spaces."46. According to one study, what do green spaces do to people?A) Improve their work efficiency .B) Add to their sustained happiness.C)Help them build a positive attitude towards life.D)Lessen their concerns about material well-being.47.W hat does Dr. White say people usually do to make themselveshappier? A) Earn more money.B) Settle in an urban area.C) Gain fame and popularity .D) Live in a green environment .48. What does Dr. White try to find out about living in a greener urban area?A) How it affects different people.. .专业知识分享 . .. WORD 格式整理 . .B)How strong its positive effect is.C)How long its positive effect lasts.D)How it benefits people physically.49. What did Dr. White's research reveal about people living in agreenenvironment ?A)Their stress was more apparent than real.B) Their decisions requiredless deliberation . C) Their memories weregreatly strengthened .D)Their communication with others improved.50.A ccording to Dr. White, what should the government do tobuild more gre en spaces incities?A) Find financial support.B) Improve urban planning.C) Involve local residents in the effort.D) Raise public awareness of the issue .Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage .You probably know about the Titanic, but it was actually just one of three state-of-the-art ( 先进的) ocean ships back in the day. The Olympic class ships were built by the Harland &Wolff ship makers in Northern Ireland for the White StarLine company. The Olympic classincluded the Olympic, the Britannic and theTitanic. What you may not know is that the Titanicwasn't even the flagship ofthis class.All in all, the Olympic class ships were marvels ofseaengineering, but they seemed cursed to suffer disastrous fates.The Olympic launched first in 1910, followed by the Titanic in1911, and lastlythe Britannic in1914. The ships had nine decks, and White StarLine decidedto focus on making them themost luxurious ships on the water.Stretching 269.13 meters, the Olympic class ships were wonders of naval technology, andeveryone thought that they would continue to be so for quite some time. However, allsuffered terrible accidents on the open seas.The Olympic got wrecked before the Titanic did,but it was the only one to survive andmaintain a successful career of 24 years. The Titanicwas the firstto sink aft erfamously hitting a huge iceberg in 1912. Following this disaster ,the Britannic hit a naval mine in 1916 and subsequently sankas well.. .专业知识分享 . .. WORD 格式整理 . .Each ship was coal-powered by several boilers constantly kept running by ex hausted crewsbelow deck. Most recognizable of the ship designs are the shi p's smoke stacks, but thefourth stack was actually just artistic in nature and served no functional purpose. While twoof these ships sank, they were all de signed with double hulls ( 船体) believed to make them"unsinkable", perhaps a mistaken idea that led to the Titanic's and the Britannic's tragic end.The Olympic suffered two crashes with other ships and went on to serve as a hospital ship andtroop transport in World War I. Eventually, she was taken out of service in 1935, ending theera of the luxurious Olympic class ocean lin ers.51.W hat does the passage say about the three Olympicclass ships? A) They performed marvellously on the sea.B) They could all break the ice in their way.C) They all experienced terrible misfortunes.D) They were models of modern engineering.52. What did White Star Line have in mind when it purchased the three ships?A) Their capacity of sailing across all waters.B) The utmost comfort passengers could enjoy.C) Their ability to survive disasters of any kind.D)The long voyages they were able toundertake. 53. What is said about thefourth stack of the ships?A) It was a mere piece of decoration .B)It was the work of a famous artist.C)It was designed to let out extra smoke.D) It was easily identifiable from afar.54. What might have led to the tragic end of the Titanic and the Britannic?A) Their unscientific designs.B) Their captains' misjudgment .C) The assumption that they were built with the latest technology.D) The belief that they could never sink with a double- layer body.55.W hat happened to the ship Olympic inthe end? A) She was used to carry troops.B) She was sunk in World War I.C) She was converted into ahospital ship. D) She was retiredafter her naval service.. .专业知识分享 . .. WORD 格式整理 . .

Earlier this month ,the office asked for the public's help to measure their speed results ,saying consumers 28 to get the speeds they were promised. "Too many of us may be paying for one thing, and getting another, " the Attorney General said.If the investigation uncovers anything, it wouldn't be the fast time a telecom provider got into 29 over the broadband speeds it promised and delivered customers. Back in June, the Federal Communications Commission fined AT&T MYMlOO million over 30 that the carrier secretly reduced wireless speeds after customers consumed a certain amount of 31 .Even when they stay on the right side of the law, Internet providers arouse customers'anger over bandwidth speed and cost. Just this week, an investigation found that media and telecom giant Comcast is the most 32 provider. Over 10 months, Comcast received nearly 12,000 customer complaints, many 33 to its monthly data cap and ove ra ge (超过额度的）charges.Some Americans are getting so 34 with Internet providers they're just giving up. A recent study found that the number of Americans with high-speed Internet at home today 35 fell during the last two years, and 15% of people now consider themselves to be "cord-cutters.

Some of us will seek itout; for others it will feel like an unwelcome intrusion into otherwise stable careers. Either way, we have choices about how we respond to it when it comes.B)We recently caught up with yoga entrepreneur Leah Zaccaria, who put herself through the fire of change tocompletely reinvent herself. In her search to live a life of purpose, Leah left her high-paying accounting job, her husband, and her home. In the process, she built a radically new life and career. S ince then, she has founded two yoga studios, met a new life partner, and formed a new community of people. Even if your personal reinvention is less drastic, we think there are lessons from her experience that apply.C)Where do the seeds of change come from? The Native American Indians have a saying: "Pay attention to the whispers so you won't have to hear the screams. "Often the best ideas for big changes come from unexpected places—it's just a matter of tuning in. Great leaders recognize the weak signals or slight signs that point to big changes to come. Leah reflects on a time she listened to the whispers: "About the time my daughter was five years old, I started having a sense that'this isn't right. "'She then realized that her life no longer matched her vision for it.D)Up until that point, Leah had followed traditional measures of success. After graduating with a degree in business and accounting, she joined a public accounting frrm, married, bought a house, put lots of stuff in it, and had a baby. " I did what everybody else thought looked successful ," she says. Leah easily could have fallen into a trap of feeling content; instead, her energy sparked a period of experimentation and renewal.E)Feeling the need to change, Leah started playing with future possibilities by exploring her interests anddeveloping new capabilities. First trying physical exercise and dieting, she lost some weight and discovered an inner strength. "I felt powerful because I broke through my own limitations, " she recalls.F)However, it was another interest that led Leah to radically reinvent herself. "I remember sitting on a bench with my aunt at a yoga studio, " she said, "and having a moment of clarity right then and there: Yoga is saving my life. Yoga is waking me up. I'm not happy and I want to change and I'm done with this. "In that moment of clarity Leah made an important leap , conquering her inner resistance to change and making a firm commitment to take bigger steps.G)Creating the future you want is a lot easier if you are ready to exploit the opportunities that come your way. When Leah made the commitment to change, she primed herself to new opportunities she may otherwise have overlooked. S he recalls:H)One day a man I worked with, Ryan, who had his office next to mine, said, "Leah, let's go look at this space on Queen Anne. " He knew my love for yoga and had seen a space close to where he lived that he thought might be good to serve as a yoga studio. As soon as I saw the location, I knew this was it. Of course I was scared, yet I had this strong sense of "I have to do this. "O nly a few months later Leah opened her first yoga studio, but success was not instant.I)Creating the future takes time. That's why leaders continue to manage the present while building toward the big changes of the future. When it's time to make the leap, they take action and immediately drop what's no longer serving their purpose. Initially Leah stayed with her accounting job while starting up the yoga studio to make it all work.J) Soon after, she knew she had to make a bold move to fully commit to her new future. Within two years, Leah shed the safety of her accounting job and made the switch complete. S uch drastic change is not easy.K) Steering through change and facing obstacles brings us face to face with our fears. Leah reflects on one incident that triggered her fears, when her investors threatened to shut her down: "I was probably up against the most fear I've ever had," she says. "I had spent two years cultivating this community, and it had become successful very fast, but within six months I was facing the prospect of losing it all. "L)She connected with her sense of purpose and dug deep, cultivating a tremendous sense of strength. " I was feeling so intentional and strong that I wasn't going to let fear just take over. I was thinking,'OK, guys, if you want to try to shut me down, shut me down.'And I knew it was a negotiation scheme ,so I was able to say tomyself,'This is not real.'" By naming her fears and facing them head-on, Leah gained confidence. For most of us, letting go of the safety and security of the past gives us great fear. Calling out our fears explicitly, as Leah did, can help us act decisively.M)The cycle of renewal never ends. Leah's growth spurred her to open her second studio—and it wasn't for the money.N)I have no desire to make millions of dollars. It's not about that; it's about growth for me. Honestly, I didn't need to open a second studio. I was making as much money as I was as an accountant. But I know if you don't grow, you stand still, and that doesn't work for me.0)Consider the current moment in your own life, your team or your organization. Where are you in the cycle ofrenewal: Are you actively preserving the present, or selectively forgetting the past, or boldly creating the future?What advice would Leah give you to move you ahead on your journey? Once we're on the path of growth, we can continually move through the seasons of transformation and renewal.36. R eadiness to take advantage of new opportunities will make it easier to create one's desired future.37. B y conventional standards, Leah was a typical successful woman before she changed her career.38. L eah gained confidence by laying out her fears and confronting them directly.39. I n search of a meaningful life, Leah gave up what she had and set up her own yoga studios.40. L eah's interest in yoga prompted her to make a frrm decision to reshape her life.41. S mall signs may indicate great changes to come and therefore merit attention.42. L eah's frrst yoga studio was by no means an immediate success.43. S ome people regard professional change as an unpleasant experience that disturbs their stable careers.44. The worst fear Leah ever had was the prospect of losing her yoga business.45. A s she explored new interests and developed new potentials, Leah felt powerful internally.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 andmark 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.Urbanization—migration away from the suburbs to the city center—will be the biggest real estate trend in 2015, according to a new report.The report says America's urbanization will continue to be the most significant issue affecting the industry, as cities across the country imitate the walkability and transit-oriented development making cities like New York and San Francisco so successful.As smaller cities copy the model of these "24-hour cities," more affordable versions of these places will be created. The report refers to this as the corning of the "18-hour city," and uses the term to refer to cities like Houston, Austin, Charlotte, and Nashville, which are "positioning themselves as highly competitive, in terms of livability, employment offerings, and recreational and cultural facilities. "Another trend that looks significant in 2015 is that America's largest population group, Millennials (千禧一代），will continue to put off buying a house. Apartments will retain their appeal for a while for Millennials, haunted by what happened to home-owning parents.This trend will continue into the 2020s, the report projects. After that, survey respondents disagree overwhether this generation will follow in their parents'footsteps, moving to the suburbs to raise families, or will choose to remain in the city center.Another issue affecting real estate in the coming year will be America's failing infrastructure. Most roads,bridges , transit , water systems , the electric grid , and communications networks were installed 50 to 100 years ago ,and they are largely taken for granted until they fail.The report's writers state that America's failure to invest in infrastructure impacts not only the health of the realestate market, but also our ability to remain globally competitive.Apart from the specific trends highlighted above, which cause some investors to worry, the report portrays anoverall optimism borne by the recent healthy real-estate "upcycle" and improving economy. Seventy-four percent ofthe respondents surveyed report a" g ood to excellent" expectation of real-estate profitability in 2015. While excessive optimism can promote bad investment patterns, resulting in a real-estate "bubble, " the report's writers downplay thatpotential outcome in that it has not yet occurred. 46. According to the new report, real estate development in 2015 will witness .A)an accelerating speedB)a shift to city centersC)a new focus on small citiesD)an ever-increasing demand47. What characterizes "24-hour cities" like New York?A)People can live without private cars.B)People are generally more competitive.C)People can enjoy services around the clock.D)People are in harmony with the environment.48. Why are Millennials reluctant to buy a house?A)They can only afford small apartments.B)The house prices are currently too high.C)Their parents'bad experience still haunts them.D)They feel attached to the suburban environment.49. What might hinder real estate development in the U.S. ?A)The continuing economic recession in the country.B)The lack of confidence on the part of investors.C)The fierce global competition.D)The worsening infrastructure.50. How do most of the respondents in the survey feel about the U.S. real-estate market in 2015?A)Pessimistic.C)Cautious.Passage TwoB)Hopeful.D)Uncertain.Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.The brain is a seemingly endless library, whose shelves house our most precious memories as well as ourlifetime's knowledge. But is there a point where it reaches capacity? The answer is no, because brains are more sophisticated than that. Instead of just crowding in, old informationis sometimes pushed out of the brain for new memories to form.Previous behavioural studies have shown that learning new information can lead to forgetting. But in a newstudy , researchers demonstrated for the first time how this effect occurs in the brain.In daily life, forgetting actually has clear advantages. Imagine, for instance, that you lost your bank card. Thenew card you receive will come with a new personal identification number (PIN). Each time you remember the new PIN, you gradually forget the old one. This process improves access to relevant information, without old memories interfering.And most of us may sometimes feel the frustration of having old memories interfere with new, relevant memories. Consider trying to remember where you parked your car in the same car park you were at a week earlier. This type of memory (where you are trying to remember new, but similar information) is particularly vulnerable to interference.When we acquire new information, the brain automatically tries to incorporate (合并）it within existing information by forming associations. And when we retrieve (检索）information ,both the desired and associated but irrelevant information is recalled.The majority of previous research has focused on how we learn and remember new information. But current studies are beginning to place greater emphasis on the conditions under which we forget, as its importance begins to be more appreciated.A very small number of people are able to remember almost every detail of their life. While it may sound like an advantage to many, people with this rare condition often find their unusual ability burdensome.In a sense ,forgetting is our brain's way of sorting memories ,so the most relevant memories are ready for retrieval. Normal forgetting may even be a safety mechanism to ensure our brain doesn't become too full.51.What have past behavioural studies found about our brain?A)Its capacity actually knows no limits.B)It grows sophisticated with practice.C)It keeps our most precious memories until life's end.D)New information learned pushes old information out.52.What is the benefit of forgetting?A)It frees us from painful memories.B)It helps slow down our aging process.C)It fac1htates our access to relevant information.D)It prevents old information from forming associations.53.What is the emphasis of current studies of memory?A)When people tend to forget.B)What contributes to forgetting.C)How new technology hinders memory capacity.D)Why learning and forgetting are complementary.54.What do people find about their rare ability to remember every detail of their life?A)It adds to the burden of their memory.B)It makes their life more complicated.C)It contributes to their success in life.D)It constitutes a rare object of envy.55.What does the passage say about forgetting?A)It can enlarge our brain capacity.B)It helps get rid of negative memories.C)It is a way of organising our memories.D)It should not cause any alarm in any way.Part IV Translation (30 minutes)Directions : 几r this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

something[1].M:Hi,Sarah,it's a bit of a long story I'm afraid.I got a throat infection last week and had to go to the hospital to get some antibiotics as I really wasn't getting any better.W:Oh,yeah,there have been so many viruses going around this winter.The weather's been so awful for the last few weeks.M:And on the way back from the hospital,I slipped on some ice and fell,and then had to go to the hospital to get an X-Ray because I basically thought I broke my wrist,although,thankfully,it's not broken[2].But I need to be careful with it for the next few weeks.W:Oh,hat's too bad.How unfortunate!M:To make things worse,I managed to fall right in front of four girls from the 9th Grade.It was utterly humiliated.Plus,the laptop in my bag was broken,too.W:Now,what a complete catastrophe!Is the laptop still under warranty?If it is,then you can easily send it back to the manufacturer,and they'll send you a brand new one for Free[3].Surely.M:The warranty ran out 3 days before I broke it.And all my essays are in there,and I need to hand them in before we break for the Christmas holidays.W:Listen,I have the number of a really good,affordable computer repair shop at home.My dad has used this guy before and he can work miracles.Let's go back to my house and we can call the repair shop.You can have some tea and cookies,too[4].M:Wow,thanks,Sarah.That would be great.Let me just call my mom and let her know.I'll be home a little bit later.Question 1-4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.1.What did Sarah think David was doing for the last 2 weeks?2.What happened to David on his way back from the hospital?3.What does Sarah say they should do with the damaged computer?4.What does Sarah say she is going to do?Conversation two.M:Welcome to this week's episode of book talk.With me today is Heidi Brown,a historian who has written five critically acclaimed books about military history[5].W:Thanks for having me,John.I'm so excited to talk about my latest book which was published last month.M:So,this book is a novel,your first attempt at that genre.I thought it was a bit of a departure for you.W:I'd say it's a major departure as it's not just a work of fiction[6].It's set 200 years in the future.M:Right.So how did that happen?You spent three decades writing about the past and focusing on the 18th and 19th centuries[7].And now you're speculating about the future.W:After years of researching soldiers and chronicling their lives during battle,I just started wondering about other facets of their lives,especially their personal lives[7].M:I can see that.Your novel is about soldiers,but it focuses on their relationships,especially the bonds between sons and mothers and men and their wives.W:Yes.That focus came about when I still intended to write another book of history.I started by researching soldiers,actual personal lives,studying their letters home[7].M:So how did that history book become a novel?W:Well,I realized that the historical record was incomplete,so I'd either have to leave a lot of gaps or make a lot more assumptions than a historian should.M:But why write a novel set in the future when your credentials are perfect for a historical novel?As a historian,any historical novel you write would have a lot of credibility.W:I felt too constrained working with the past,like what I wrote needed to be fact as opposed to fiction[8],but writing about the future gave me more freedom to imagine,to invent.M:Having read your book,I'm glad you made that choice to move into fiction.5.What did the man say about the woman?6.What does the woman say about her newly published book?7.What did the woman do before writing her new book?8.What does the woman say about her writing history books?Passage one,主题：可口可乐包装设计【Q9】Whether it's in the hands of animated polar bears,or Santa Claus,there's one thing you'll find in nearly all ads for Coca Cola-the characteristic glass bottle.Most Americans don't drink soda out of the glass bottles seen in cokes ads anymore.But this week,the company is Celebrating a century of the bottle that's been sold in more than 200 countries.Flashback to 1915,when a bottle of Coca Cola cost just a nickel.【Q10】As the soft drink gained in popularity,it faced a growing number of competitors,counterfeits even trying to copy cokes logo.So according to Coca Cola historian Ted Ryan,the company decided to come up with packaging that couldn't be duplicated.A product request was sent to eight different glassmakers.【Q11】Workers at the Root Glass company got the request and began flipping through the encyclopedia at the local library,landing on cocoa seed.Though cocoa seed is not an ingredient of the soda,they designed their bottle based on the seeds shape and large middle.It won over coke executives in Atlanta and will go on to receive its own trademark,spur collections and earn Coca-Cola an iconic image that made it part ofAmerican culture for a century.It was 100 years ago this week that the bottle earned a patent.By World War Two,Coke bottle sales had ballooned into billions.Americans mostly consumed coke out of aluminum or plastic today,but the glass bottle remains a symbol of America is readily recognized around the world.Question 9 what does the passage say appears in almost all ads for Coca Cola?Question 10 Why did the Coca Cola company decide to have special packaging designed?Question 11 What do we learn about the Coca Cola bottle designed by the Root Glass company?Passage 2主题：陌生人之间的交流使人愉悦Research shows that【Q12】a few moments of conversation with a stranger creates a measurable improvement in mood.But most of us are reluctant to start these conversations【Q13】because we presume the opposite.In an experiment,commuters who talk to nearby strangers found their commute more enjoyable than those who didn't.They were asked to predict whether they'd enjoy the commute more if they conversed with other people.Intriguingly,most expected the more solitary experience to be more pleasurable.Why is this?Social Anxiety appears to be the problem.【Q13】People's reluctance to start conversations with nearby strangers comes partly from under estimating others interest in connecting.The sad thing is that people presume that a nearby stranger doesn't want to converse and don't start a conversation.Only those who forced themselves to chat because it was acquired by an experiment found out what a pleasant experience it could be.Human beings are social animals.Those who misunderstand the impact of social interactions may not,in some context,be social enough for their own well-being.You should be chatting with the strangers you encounter.You may occasionally have a negative encounter that might stick in your memory.【Q14】This is because the human brain isbiased to dwell on negative events,but starting conversations with strangers is still well worth the risk of rejection.It may surprise you that conversing with strangers will make them happier,too.【Q15】The pleasure of connection seems contagious.People who are talked to has equally positive experiences as those who initiate a conversation.Question 12 What does research show about a conversation between strangers?Question 13 What prevents people from starting a conversation with strangers?Question 14 Why does a negative encounter with strangers stick in one's memory?Question 15 What does the passage say,the pleasure of connection seems to be?演讲1主题：加勒比群岛的经济生态Q16:The Caribbean islands are divided into two worlds,a rich one,and a poor one.This tropical region's economy is based mainly on farming.Farmers are of 2 types.One is the plantation owner who may have hundreds of thousands of acres.In contrast,the small cultivator is working only a few acres of land.Most visitors to the Caribbean are rich,like the plantation owner.They do not realize or do not want to realize that many foreign families barely managed to get by on what they grow.Q17:The Caribbean produces many things,sugar is the main product.Other export crops are tobacco,coffee,bananas,spices,and citrus fruits,such as orange,lemon,or grapefruit.From the West Indies also come oil,mineral pitch,and many forest products,Jamaica’s aluminum or supplies are the world's largest.Oil comes from Trinidad,Aruba,and Korako.But for many of the smaller islands,sugar is the only export.Rum,a strong alcoholic drink,which is distilled from sugar cane,is also an export..The world's best rum comes from this area.Local kinds vary from the light rums of Puerto Rico to the heavierDhaka rums of Barbados and Jamaica.American tourists enjoy stalking up on inexpensive,high quality,Caribbean rum while they are on vacation.In Korako,the well-known liquor of that name is made from the thick outer skin of a native orange.Ever since America's colonial days.The Caribbean islands have been favorite places to visit.Since World War Two,tourism has increased rapidly,because great numbers of people go there.The islanders have built elaborate resorts,developed harbors and airfields,improved beaches and have expanded sea and air routes.Everything is at the resort,hotel,beach,shopping and recreation.The vacationer never has any reason to explore the island.As in most places those who have money live well indeed,those who don't have money live at various levels of poverty.Q18 But here the poor greatly outnumber the wealthy.A visitor will find rich people living in apartments or Spanish houses at the seaside or in the countryside.Their surface might include a cook,a maid and a nurse for the children.Q18:Most of the people live well below the poverty level.In towns,they live crowded together in tiny houses.Islanders make the best they can of what they have.Their homes are quite shabby.Sadly,most tourists never see the side of the Caribbean.Question 16 to 18 are based on the recording you have just heard.Question 16.What does the speaker say about the economy of the Caribbean islands?Question 17.What is the main product of the Caribbean islands?Question 18.What do we learn about the majority of people in the Caribbean islands?讲座讲话2孩童教育Talk to anyone who is a generation of too older,and they would most likely comment that children are more spoiled these days.Q19:No one wants to have or be around,demanding,selfish and spoiled children,those who getbad tempered or silently brewed when they're not given everything they want immediately.Paradoxically,the parents of such children encouraged this demanding behavior in the mistaken belief that by giving their children everything they can,their children will be happy.In the short term,perhaps they are right.But in the longer term,such children end up lonely,dependent,chronically dissatisfied and resentful of the parents,who tried so hard to please them.Undoubtedly,parents want to raise happy children who are confident,capable,and likable rather than spoiled and miserable.Q20:One factor hindering this is that parents can't or don't spend enough quality time with their kids and substitute this deficit with toys,games,gadgets,and the like.Rather than getting material things,children need parents devote their attention.The quantity of time spent together is less important than the content of that time.Instead of instantly satisfying their wishes,parents should help them work out a plan to earn things they'd like to have.This teaches them to value the effort as well as what it achieves.Allow them to enjoy anticipation.Numerous psychological studies have demonstrated that children who learn to wait for things they desire are more likely to succeed in a number of ways later in life.One famous experiment in the 1960s involved 3 to 6-year-old children.They were given a choice between receiving a small reward such as a cookie immediately.Or if they waited 15 minutes,they could have two.Follow up studies have found that those who chose to delay satisfaction and now more academically successful have greater self worth and even tend to be healthier.Q21:If they fail,children should be encouraged to keep trying rather than to give up if they really want the desired result.This teaches them how to handle and recover from disappointment,which is associated with greater success and satisfaction,academically,financially and in personal relationships.And lastly,parents should encourage their children to look at life from other points of view,as well as their own.This teaches them to be understanding of and sympathetic towards others,qualities sure to take them a long way in life.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the recording you have just heard.Question 19.What will happen to children if they always get immediate satisfaction?Question 20.What may prevent parents from raising confident and capable children?Question 21.Why should children be encouraged to keep trying when they fail?演讲3面试技巧It’s not hard to mess up an interview.Most people feel nervous sitting across from a hiring manager,answering questions that effectively opened themselves up for judgment,and Q22:your chances are being more carefully considered for the job,can quickly go downhill,just by saying the wrong thing at the wrong time.Q23:The most obvious thing not to do is complain.Employers want to hire positive people,talking about a previous job negatively raises concerns that you might be difficult to manage,or you might be someone that blames management for your own poor performance.Q23:Don't say that you've moved around in jobs because you haven't found the right fit or feel that you were not challenged enough.Statements like these will make you sound aimless and lost.An interviewer may well think,why would this role be any different for you?You will probably leave here in 6 months.It also begs the question of what type of relationship you had with your manager.It doesn't sound like you had open communication with him or her.Q24:Managers usually love people who can self-sustain and enable growth through taking initiative,who are strong at following through their work,and who bring ideas and solutions to the table.If you were in a management or leadership position,when discussing your current role,never take all the credit for accomplishments or achievements,emphasize your team and how through their talents,your vision was realized.Most successful leaders know that they are only as good as their team,and acknowledging this in an interview will go a long way towards suggesting that you might be the right person for the position you are applying for.Lastly,have a good idea of what your role will be,and try and convey the idea that you're flexible.Asking what your role will be,suggest you will limit yourself purely to what is expected of you.Q25:In reality,your role is whatever you make of it.This is especially true in small companies,where the ability to adapt and take on new responsibilities is highly valued.And this is equally important if you are just starting out.Entry level interviewees would do well to demonstrate a broad set of skills in most interviews.Q25:It's important to have a wide skill set as many startups and small companies are moving really fast.Employers are looking for candidates that are intelligent and can quickly adapt and excel in a growing company.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the recording you have just heard.Question 22.What does the speaker say can easily prevent an interviewee from getting a job?Question 23.What should the interviewee avoid doing in an interview?Question 24.What kind of employees do companies like to recruit?Question 25.What is especially important for those working in a small company?参考答案：1.A)It has given rise to much controversy.2.B)She tries to force people to accept her radical ideas.3.D)They are modest.4.A)It would help to protect the environment.5.D)What makes people successful.6.A)Having someone who has confidence in them.7.C)They stay positive.8.D)Highly cooperative teammates.9.C)They have big eyes and distinctive visual centers.10.B)By means of echo location.11.B)To adapt themselves to a particular lifestyle.12.C)They become more emotionally aggressive.13.D)They lack the cognitive and memory skills.14.B)Help their children understand the program's plot.15.A)Explain its message to their children.16.C)They believe a little dirt harms no one.17.D)A large number of bacteria collected on a single shoe.18.A)The chemicals on shoes can deteriorate air quality.19.D)It is a violation of faith and trust.20.C)Accept them as normal.21.A)Try to understand what messages they convey.22.A)Cultivation of new varieties of crops.23.D)The improvement of agricultural infrastructure.24.C)For turning their focus to the needs of farmers in poorer countries.25.B)Substantial funding in agricultural research.Directions：For this part，you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay related to the short passage given below.In your essay，you are to comment on the phenomenon described in the passage and suggest measures to address the issue.You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.Nowadays star chasing is prevalent among many teenagers.They take pop stars as their idols，imitating their way of talking，following their style of dressing，and seeking every chance to meet them in person at great expenses.作文(追星)Nowadays,more and more teenagers are chasing stars.Star chasing has always been a controversial hot topic.Some believe there’s nothing wrong with having a role model,while others,especially parents,are concerned because of its negative impacts on teenagers.I would like to analyze the positive and negative effects and how to minimize the negative effects.First,star chasing itself is of great significance in meeting teenagers'emotional needs.This is also the reason why teenagers are keen on star chasing.Chasing stars provides a way for teenagers to express their personalities.It also offers a space for their social needs.What’s more,teenagers can get a sense of achievement from participating in the growth process of their idols.What we need to worry about is that although these emotional needs themselves are positive,once they go to extremes,the positive side often becomes negative.While most top stars are nice and hard-working people,some of them do have problems with their characters.Therefore,blindly following idols can be hazardous to the growth of teenagers.The real danger,however,lies in social media.Unlike in the past,the value of stars is no longer determined only by their works.Teenagers are encouraged to buy products endorsed by their idols.Fans groups of different idols even attack one another on social media over trivial rumors.These unscrupulous actions in the name of love have changed star chasing into a serious problem.To minimize the negative impacts of star chasing,I believe schools and families should pay attention to the education of emotion,attitudes and values for teenagers because this is the basis of self-growth and a fundamental ability in their life in the future.选词填空：According to psychologist Sharon Draper，our clothing

Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.The rise of the sharing economyA) LAST night 40,000 people rented accommodation from a service that offers 250,000 rooms in 30,000 cities in 192 countries. They chose their rooms and paid for everything online. But their beds were provided by private individuals, rather than a hotel chain. Hosts and guests were matched up by Airbnb, a firm based in San Francisco. Since its launch in 2008 more than 4m people have used it—2.5million of them in 2012 alone. It is the most prominent example of a huge new “sharing economy”, in which people rent b eds, cars, boats and other assets directly from each other, co-ordinated via the internet.B) You might think this is no different from running a bed-and-breakfast（家庭旅店）, owning a timeshare（分时度假房）or participating in a car pool. But technology has reduced transaction costs, making sharing assets cheaper and easier than ever—and therefore possible on a much larger scale. The big change is the availability of more data about people and things, which allows physical assets to be disaggregated and consumed as services. Before the internet, renting a surfboard, a power tool or a parking space from someone else was feasible, but was usually more trouble than it was worth. Now websites such as Airbnb, RelayRides and SnapGoods match up owners and renters; smartphones with GPS let people see where the nearest rentable car is parked; social networks provide a way to check up on people and build trust; and online payment systems handle the billing.What’s mine is yours, for a feeC) Just as peer-to-peer businesses like eBay allow anyone to become a retailer, sharing sites let individuals act as an ad hoc（临时的）taxi service, car-hire firm or boutique hotel（精品酒店）as and when it suits them. Just go online or download an app. The model works for items that are expensive to buy and are widely owned by people who do not make full use of them. Bedrooms and cars are the most obvious examples, but you can also rent camping spaces in Sweden, fields in Australia and washing machines in France. As proponents of the sharing economy like to put it, access trumps（胜过）ownership.D) Rachel Botsman, the author of a book on the subject, says the consumer peer-to-peer rental market alone is worth $26 billion. Broader definitions of the sharing economy include peer-to- peer lending (though cash is hardly a spare fixed asset) or putting a solar panel on your roof and selling power back to the grid (电网). And it is not just individuals: the web makes it easier **panies to rent out spare offices and idle machines, too. But the core of the sharing economy is people renting things from each other.E) Such “collaborative（合作的）consumption” is a good thing for several reasons. Owners make money from underused assets. Airbnb says hosts in San Francisco who rent out their homes do so for an average of 58 nights a year, making $9,300. Car owners who rent their vehicles toothers using RelayRides make an average of $250 a month; some make more than $1,000. Renters, meanwhile, pay less than they would if they bought the item themselves, or turned to a traditional provider such as a hotel or car-hire firm. (It is not surprising that many sharing firms got going during the financial crisis.) And there are environmental benefits, too: renting a car when you need it, rather than owning one, means fewer cars are required and fewer resources must be devoted to making them.F) For sociable souls, meeting new people by staying in their homes is part of the charm. Curmudgeons（倔脾气的人）who imagine that every renter is Norman Bates can still stay at conventional hotels. For others, the web fosters trust. As well as the background checks carried out by platform owners, online reviews and ratings are usually posted by both parties to each transaction, which makes it easy to spot lousy drivers, bathrobe-pilferers and surfboard-wreckers. By using Facebook and other social networks, participants can check each other out and identify friends (or friends of friends) in common. An Airbnb user had her apartment trashed in 2011. But the remarkable thing is how well the system usually works. Peering into the futurePeering into the futureG) The sharing economy is a little like online shopping, which started in America 15 years ago. At first, people were worried about security. But having made a successful purchase from, say, Amazon, they felt safe buying elsewhere. Similarly, using Airbnb or a car-hire service for the first time encourages people to try other offerings. Next, consider eBay. Having started out as a peer-to-peer marketplace, it is now dominated by professional “power sellers” (many of whom started out as ordinary eBay users). The same may happen with the sharing economy, which also provides new opportunities for enterprise. Some people have bought cars solely to rent them out, for example.H) Existing rental businesses are getting involved too. Avis, a car-hire firm, has a share in a sharing rival. So do GM and Daimler, two carmakers. In future, companies may develop hybrid （混合的）models, listing excess capacity (whether vehicles, equipment or office space) on peer-to-peer rental sites. In the past, new ways of doing things online have not displaced the old ways entirely. But they have often changed them. Just as internet shopping forced Walmart and Tesco to adapt, so online sharing will shake up transport, tourism, equipment-hire and more.I) The main worry is regulatory uncertainty (see Technology Quarterly article). Will room-renters be subject to hotel taxes, for example? In Amsterdam officials are using Airbnb listings to track down unlicensed hotels. In some American cities, peer-to-peer taxi services have been banned after lobbying by traditional taxi firms. The danger is that although some rules need to be updated to protect consumers from harm, incumbents will try to **petition. People who rent out rooms should pay tax, of course, but they should not be regulated like a Ritz-Carlton hotel. The lighter rules that typically govern bed-and-breakfasts are more than adequate.J) The sharing economy is the latest example of the internet…s value to consumers. This emerging model is now big and disruptive（颠覆性的）enough for regulators **panies to havewoken up to it. That is a sign of its immense potential. It is time to start caring about sharing.46. Sharing items such as cars does good to the environment.47. Airbnb’s success clearly illustrates the emergence of a huge sharing economy.48. The major concern about the sharing economy is how the government regulates it.49. The most frequently shared items are those expensive to buy but not fully used.50. The sharing economy has a promising future.51. Online sharing will change the way business is done in transportation, travel, rentals, etc.52. Airbnb is a website that enables owners and renters to complete transactions online.53. The sharing economy is likely to go the way of online shopping.54. One advantage of sharing is that owners earn money from renting out items not made full use of.55. Sharing appeals to the sociable in that they can meet new people.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 56 t0 60 are based on the following passage.In recent years, a growing body of research has shown that our appetite and food intake are influenced by a large number of factors besides our biological need for energy, including our eating environment and our perception of the food in front of us.Studies have shown, for instance, that eating in front of the TV (or a similar distraction) can increase both hunger and the amount of food consumed. Even simple visual cues, like plate size and lighting, have been shown to affect portion size and consumption.A new study suggested that our short-term memory also may play a role in appetite. Several hours after a meal, people’s hunger levels were predicted not by how much they’d eaten but rather by how much food they’d seen in front of them—in other words, how much they remembered eating.This disparity (差异) suggests the memory of our previous meal may have a bigger influence on our appetite than the actual size of the meal, says Jeffrey M. Brunstrom, a professor of experimental psychology at the University of Bristol.“Hunger isn’t controlled solely by t he physical characteristics of a recent meal. We have identified an independent role for memory for that meal,” Brunstrom says. “This shows that the relationship between hunger and food intake is **plex than we thought.”These findings echo earlier research that suggests our perception of food can sometimes trick our body’s response to the food itself. In a 2011 study, for instance, people who drank the same 380-calorie(卡路里) milkshake on two separate occasions produced different levels of hunger-related hormones (荷尔蒙), depending on whether the shake’s label said it contained 620 or 140 calories. Moreover, the participants reported feeling more full when they thought they’dconsumed a higher-calorie shake.What does this mean for our eating habits? Although it hardly seems practical to trick ourselves into eating less, the new findings do highlight the benefits of focusing on our food and avoiding TV and multitasking while eating.The so-called mindful-eating strategies can fight distractions and help us control our appetite, Brunstrom says.56. What is said to be a factor affecting our appetite and food intake?A) How we perceive the food we eat. B) What ingredients the food contains.C) When we eat our meals. D) How fast we eat our meals.57. What would happen at meal time if you remembered eating a lot in the previous meal?A) You would probably be more picky about food.B) You would not feel like eating the same food.C) You would have a good appetite.D) You would not feel so hungry.58. What do we learn from the 2011 study?A) Food labels may mislead consumers in their purchases.B) Food labels may influence our body’s response to food.C) Hunger levels depend on one’s consumption of calories.D) People tend to take in a lot more calories than necessary.59. What does Brunstrom suggest we do to control our appetite?A) Trick ourselves into eating less. B) Choose food with fewer calories.C) Concentrate on food while eating. D) Pick dishes of the right size.60. What is the main idea of the passage?A) Eating distractions often affect our food digestion.B) Psychological factors influence our hunger levels.C) Our food intake is determined by our biological needs.D) Good eating habits will contribute to our health.Passage TwoQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.As a society we might want to rethink the time and money spent on education, so that these resources can benefit a greater percentage of the population. Ideally, both high schools and colleges can prepare individuals for the ever-changing roles that are likely to be expected of them.High school degrees offer far less in the way of preparation for work than they might, or than many other nations currently offer, creating a growing skills gap in our economy. We encourage students to go on to college whether they are prepared or not, or have a clear sense of purpose or interest, and now have the highest college dropout rate in the world.We might look to other countries for models of how high schools can offer better training, as well as the development of a work ethic (勤奋工作的美德) and the intellectual skills needed for continued learning and development. I recommend Harvard’s 2011 “Pathways to Prosperity”report for more attention to the “forgotte n half” (those who do not go on to college) and ideas about how to address this issue.Simultaneously, the liberal arts become more important than ever. In a knowledge economywhere professional roles change rapidly and many college students are preparing for positions that may not even exist yet, the skill set needed is one that prepares them for change and continued learning.Learning to express ideas well in both writing and speech, knowing how to find information, and knowing how to do research are all solid background skills for a wide variety of roles, and such training is more important than any particular major in a liberal arts college. We need to continue to value broad preparation in thinking skills that will serve for a lifetime.Students also need to learn to work independently and to make responsible decisions. The lengthening path to adulthood appears exacerbated (恶化) by parental involvement in the college years. Given the rising investment in college education, parental concern is not surprising, but learning where and when to intervene(干预) will help students take more ownership of the outcomes of these increasingly costly educations.61.

What does the author say is the problem with present high school education?A) Ignoring the needs of those who don’t go to college.B) Teaching skills to be used right after graduation only.C) Giving little attention to those having difficulty learning.D) Creating the highest dropout rate in the developed world.63. What characterizes a knowledge economy according to the passage?A) People have to receive higher education to qualify for a professional position.B) Students majoring in liberal arts usually have difficulty securing a job.C) New positions are constantly created that require people to keep learning.D) Colleges find it hard to teach students how to cope with the changing economy.64. What does the author think a liberal arts college should focus on?A) Solid background knowledge in a particular field.B) Practical skills urgently needed in current society.C) Basic skills needed for change and lifelong learning.D) Useful thinking skills for advanced academic research.65. What suggestion does the author offer to parents?A) Rethinking the value of higher education.B) Investing wisely in their children’s education.C) Helping their children to bring their talent into full play.D) Avoiding too much intervention in their children’s education.Part IV TranslationDirections : For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.
