E)
Globalization is also reshaping the way research is done. One new trend involves sourcing portions of a research program to another country. Yale professor and Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator Tian Xu directs a research center focused on the genetics of human disease at Shanghai’s Fudan University, in collaboration with faculty colleagues from both schools. The Shanghai center has 95 employees and graduate students working in a 4,300-square-meter laboratory facility. Yale faculty, postdoctors and graduate students visit regularly and attend videoconference seminars with scientists from both campuses. The arrangement benefits both countries; Xu’s Yale lab is more productive, thanks to the lower costs of conducting research in China, and Chinese graduate students, postdoctors and faculty get on-the-job training from a world-class scientist and his U.S. team.

For each question, there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer and mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET TWO.PASSAGE ONEInundated by more information than we can possibly hold in our heads, we’re increasingly handing off the job of remembering to search engines and smart phones. Google is even reportedly working on eyeglasses that could one day recognize faces and supply details about whoever you’re looking at. But new research shows that outsourcing our memory –and expecting that information will be continually and instantaneously available – is changing our cognitive habits. Research conducted by Betsy Sparrow, an assistant professor of psychology at Columbia University, has identified three new realities about how we process information in the Internet age. First, her experiments showed that when we don’t know the answer to a question, we now think about where we can find the nearest Web connection instead of the subject of the question itself. A second revelation is that when we expect to be able to find in formation again later on, we don’t remember it as well as when we think it might become unavailable. And then there is the researchers’ final observation: the expectation that we’ll he able to locate information down the line leads us to form a memory not of the fact itself but of where we’ll be able to find it.But this handoff comes with a downside. Skills like critical thinking and analysis must develop in the context of facts: we need something to think and reason about, after all. And these factsc an’t be Googled as we go; they need to be stored in the original hard drive, our long-term memory. Especially in the case of children, “factual knowledge must precede skill,” says Daniel Willingham, a professor of psychology, at the University of Virginia – meaning that the days of drilling the multiplication table and memorizing the names of the Presidents aren’t over quite yet. Adults, too, need to recruit a supply of stored knowledge in order to situate and evaluate new information they encounter. You ca n’t Google context.Last, there’s the possibility, increasingly terrifying to contemplate, that our machines will fail us. As Sparrow puts it, “The experience of losing our Internet connection becomes more and more like losing a friend.” If you’re going to keep your memory on your smart phone, better make sure it’s fully charged.41. Google’s eyeglasses are supposed to ____.A. improve our memoryB. function like memoryC. help us see faces betterD. work like smart phones42. Which of the following statements about Sparrow’s research is CORRECT?A. We remember people and things as much as before.B. We remember more Internet connections than before.C. We pay equal attention to location and content of information.D. We tend to remember location rather than the core of facts.43. What is the implied message of the author?A. Web connections aid our memory.B. People differ in what to remember.C. People keep memory on smart phones.D. People need to exercise their memory.PASSAGE TWOI was a second-year medical student at the university, and was on my second day of rounds at a nearby hospital. My university’s philosophy was to get students seeing patients early in their education. Nice idea, but it overlooked one detail: second-year students know next to nothing about medicine.Assigned to my team that day was an attending – a senior faculty member who was there mostly to make patients feel they weren’t in the hands of amateurs. Many attendings were researchers who didn’t have much recent hos pital experience. Mine was actually an arthritis specialist. Also along was a resident (the real boss, with a staggering mastery of medicine, at least to a rookie like myself). In addition there were two interns(住院实习医生). These guys were just as green as I was,but in a scarier way: they had recently graduated from the medical school, so they were technically MDs.I began the day at 6:30am. An intern and I did a quick check of our eight patients; later, we were to present our findings to the resident and then to the attending. I had three patients and the intern had the other five - piece of cake.But when I arrived in the room of 71-year-old Mr. Adams,he was sitting up in bed, sweating heavily and panting (喘气). He’d just had a hip operation and looked terrible. I listened to his lungs with my stethoscope, but they sounded clear. Next I checked the log of his vital signs and saw that his respiration and heart rate had been climbing, but his temperature was steady. It didn’t seem like heart failure, nor did it appear to be pneumonia. So I asked Mr. Adams what he thought was going on.“It’s really hot in here, Doc,” he replied.So I attributed his condition to the stuffy room and told him the rest of the team would return in a few hours. He smiled and feebly waved goodbye.At 8:40 am., during our team meeting, “Code Blue Room 307!” blared from the loudspeaker.I froze.That was Mr. Adams’s room.When we arrived, he was motionless.The autopsy (尸体解剖) later found Mr. Adams had suffered a massive pulmonary embolism (肺部栓塞). A blood clot had formed in his leg, worked its way to his lungs, and cut his breathing capacity in half. His symptoms had been textbook: heavy perspiration and shortness of breath despite clear lungs. The only thin g was: I hadn’t read that chapter in the textbook yet. And I was too scared, insecure, and proud to ask a real doctor for help.This mistake has haunted me for nearly 30 years, but what’s particularly frustrating is that the same medical education system persists. Who knows how many people have died or suffered harm at the hands of students as naïve as I, and how many more will?44. We learn that the author’s team members had _____.A. much practical experienceB. adequate knowledgeC. long been working thereD. some professional deficiency45. “His symptoms had been textbook” means that his symptoms were ______.A. part of the textbookB. no longer in the textbookC. recently included in the textbookD. explained in the textbook46. At the end of the passage, the author expresses ____ about the medical education systemA. optimismB. hesitationC. concernD. supportPASSAGE THREEThe war on smoking, now five decades old and counting, is one of the nation’s greatest public health success stories – but not for everyone.As a whole, the country has made amazing progress. In 1964, four in ten adults in the US smoked; today fewer than two in ten do. But some states – Kentucky, South Dakota and Alabama, to name just a few – seem to have missed the message that smoking is deadly.Their failure is the greatest disappointment in an effort to save lives that was started on Jan. 11, 1964, by the first Surgeon General’s Report on Smoking and Health. Its finding that smoking is a cause of lung cancer and other diseases was major news then. The hazards of smoking were just starting to emerge.The report led to cigarette warning labels, a ban on TV ads and eventually an anti-smoking movement that shifted the nation’s attitude on smoki ng. Then, smokers were cool. Today, many are outcasts, rejected by restaurants, bars, public buildings and even their own workplaces. Millions of lives have been saved.The formula for success is no longer guesswork: Adopt tough warning labels, air public service ads, fund smoking cessation programs and impose smoke-free laws. But the surest way to prevent smoking, particularly among price-sensitive teens, is to raise taxes. If you can stop them from smoking, you’ve won the war. Few people start smoking after turning 19.The real-life evidence of taxing power is powerful. The 10 states with the lowest adult smoking rates slap an average tax of $2.42 on every pack – three times the average tax in the states with the highest smoking rates.New York has the highest cigarette tax in the country, at $4.35 per pack, and just 12 percent of teens smoke, far below the national average of 18 percent. Compare that with Kentucky, where taxes are low (60 cents), smoking restrictions are weak and the teen smoking rate is double New York’s. Other low-tax states have similarly dismal records.Enemies of high tobacco taxes cling to the tired argument that they fall disproportionately on the poor. True, but so do the deadly effects of smoking – far worse than a tax. The effect of the taxes is amplified further when the revenue is used to fund initiatives that help smokers quit or persuade teens not to start.Anti-smoking forces have plenty to celebrate this week, having helped avoid 8 million premature deaths in the past 50 years. But as long as 3,000 adolescents and teens take their first puff each day, the war is not won.47. According to the context, “Their failure” refers to _____.A. those adults who continue to smokeB. those states that missed the messageC. findings of the reportD. hazards of smoking48. What is the passage mainly about?A. How to stage anti-smoking campaigns.B. The effects of the report on smoking and health.C. Tax as the surest path to cut smoking.D. The efforts to cut down on teenage smoking.PASSAGE FOURAttachment Parenting is not Indulgent Parenting. Attachment parents do not “spoil” their children. Spoiling is done when a child is given everything that they want regardless of what they need and regardless of what is practical. Indulgent parents give toys for tantrums(发脾气), ice cream for breakfast. Attachment parents don’t give their children everything that they want, they give their children everything that they need. Attachment parents believe that love and comfort are free and necessary. Not sweets or toys.Attachment Parenting is not “afraid of tears” parenting. Our kids cry. The difference is that we understand that tantrums and tears come from emotions and not manipulation. And our children understand this too. They cry and have tantrums sometimes, of course. But they do this because their emotions are so overwhelming that they need to get it out. They do not expect to be “rewarded” for their strong negative emotions; they simply expect that we will listen. We pick up our babies when they cry, and we respond to the tears of our older children because we believe firmly that comfort is free, love is free, and that when a child has need for comfort and love, it isour job to provide those things. We are not afraid of tears. We don’t avoid them. We hold our children through them and teach them that when they are hurt or frustrated we are here to comfort them and help them work through their emotions.Attachment Parenting is not Clingy Parenting. I do not cling to my children. In fact, I’m pretty free-range. As soon as they can move they usually move away from me and let me set up a chase as they crawl, run, skip and hop on their merry way to explore the world. Sure, I carry them and hug them and chase them and kiss them and rock them and sleep with them. But this is not me following them everywhere and pulling them back to me. This is me being a home base. The “attachment” comes from their being allowed to attach to us, not from us attaching to them like parental leeches.Attachment Parenting is not Selfish Parenting. It is also not selfless parenting. We are not doing it for us, and we are not doing it to torment ourselves,Attachment parenting is not Helicopter Parenting. I don’t hover. I supervise, I follow, I teach, I de monstrate, I explain. I don’t slap curious hands away, I show how to do things safely, I let my child do the things that my child wishes to do, first with help and then with supervision and finally with trust. I don’t insist that my 23 month old hold my ha nd when we walk on the sidewalk because I know that I can recall him with my voice because he trusts me to allow him to explore and he trusts me to explain when something is dangerous and to help him satisfy his curiosities safely.Most of the negative thi ngs that I hear about “attachment parents” are completely off-base and describe something that is entirely unlike Attachment Parenting. Attachment Parenting is child-centric and focuses on the needs of the child. Children need structure, rules, and boundaries. Attachment Parents simply believe that the child and the parent are allies, not adversaries, And that children are taught, not trained.49. According to the author, what should parents do when their kids cry?A. Providing comfort and love.B. Trying to stop kids crying.C. Holding them till they stop.D. Rewarding kids with toys.50. What does “free-range” mean according to the passage?A. Fond of providing a home base.B. Ready to play games with my kids.C. Curious to watch what games they play.D. Willing to give kids freedom of movement.SECTION B SHORT ANSWER QUESTIONSIn this section there are five short answer questions based on the passages in Section A. Answer the questions with NO more than TEN words in the space provided on ANSWER SHEET TWO.PASSAGE ONE51. According to the passage, what does “cognitive habits” refers to?PASSAGE TWO52. Why was the author doing rounds in a hospital?PASSAGE THREE53. What does “counting” mean in the context?54. What does the author think of raising tax on cigarettes?PASSAGE FOUR55. What does the passage mainly discuss?PART VI WRITING [45 MIN]Should we revive traditional Chinese characters or continue using simplified characters?This has been an intensely discussed question for years. The following are the supporters’and opponents’ opinions. Read carefully the opinions from both sides and write your response in about 200 words, in which you should first summarize briefly the opinions from both sides and give your view on the issue.Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.。

Writing (45 minutes)Section A61. 【参考范文】The Impact of Social Media on SocietySocial media has become an integral part of society, profoundly influencing various aspects of our lives. It has revolutionized the way we communicate, interact, and obtain information. However, there remains a debate on whether its impact on society is predominantly positive or negative.On one hand, social media has provided numerous benefits. Firstly, it has enhanced global connectivity, allowing individuals from all corners of the world to connect and communicate effortlessly. This has facilitated cultural exchange, fostering understanding and empathy among people of different backgrounds. Secondly, social media has become an essential platform for self-expression and creativity. It empowers individuals to share their thoughts, ideas, and creations, furthering collective knowledge and inspiring innovation. Lastly, social media has played a crucial role in raising social awareness and promoting political activism. It has provided a voice for marginalized communities, enabling them to advocate for their rights and challenge social injustices.On the other hand, the negative impact of social media should not be ignored. Firstly, excessive use of social media has been linked to mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and addiction. The constant comparison and validation-seeking nature of social media can negatively affect individuals' self-esteem and self-worth. Moreover, the spread of fake news and misinformation on social media platforms has undermined the public's trust in traditional media outlets and compromised the dissemination of accurate information. Lastly, privacy concerns have emerged as a significant drawback of social media usage, with personal data being exploited for targeted advertising or even malicious purposes.In conclusion, social media has had a profound impact on society, both positive and negative. It has revolutionized communication, facilitated cultural exchange, and empowered individuals. However, it has also contributed to mental health issues, spread of misinformation, and privacy concerns. To maximize the positive impact of social media, individuals, platforms, and policymakers must work together to promote responsible usage, safeguard privacy, and foster a healthy online environment. Only then can society fully harness the potential of social media while mitigating its negative consequences.。

Already, by paying close attention to and 29 the world and people around him, and without any school-type formal instruction, he has done a task far more difficult, complicated and 30 than anything he will be asked to do in school, or than any of his teachers has done for years. He has solved the 31 of language. He has discovered it—babies don’t even know that language exists—and he has found out how it works and learned to use it 32. He has done it by exploring, by experimenting, by developing his own model of the grammar of language, by 33 and seeing whether it works, by gradually changing it and 34 it until it does work. And while he has been doing this, he has been learning other things as well, including many of the “35” that the schools think only they can teach him, and many that are more complicated than the ones they do try to teach him.【参考答案】26. curious 27. figuring things out 28. independent 29. interacting with30. abstract 31. mystery 32. appropriately 33. trying it out34. refining 35. concepts【名师点评】从四级听写样卷的指示语来看,短文共播放三遍,第一遍播放录音时,要求听懂文章的大意;第二遍播放录音时,要求完整写下所听到的内容;第三遍播放录音时,要求检查所填写的内容。

Those in the buildings at the time of the attack were killed not because of who they were, but because of where they were---in offices in two of the most recognizable (S2) of American power. Those aboard the doomed planes became both terror victims and (S3) of terror. Courageous (S4)workers who saved countless lives by fighting fires and the chaos of the moment lost their lives.

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 the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage one:Nuclear power’s danger t o health, s afety, and even life itself can be summed up in one word: radiation.Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it, party because it cannot be detected by human senses. It can’t be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even tough it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we can’t detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver. Similarly, we can’t sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being outright(全部地)by killing masses of cells in vital organs. But even the lowest level of radiation can do serious damage. There is no level of radiation that is completely safe. If theradiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be significant. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed outright, your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble. They reproduce themselves in a deformed way. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the victim being aware at the time that damage has occurred.A person can be irradiated and feel fine, then die of cancer five, ten, or twentyyears later as a result. Or a child can be born weak or liable to serious illness as result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth.11. According to the author, the danger of nuclear power lies in _______.A. nuclear mysteryB. radiation detectionC. nuclear radiationD. radiation level12. What can we infer from the passage?A. We can’t detect radioactivity even with modern equipment.B. Only radiation at very high levels can kill an animal or human being.C. If a few cells are only damaged healthy cells will take the place of dead onesD. Radiation is harmful no matter what level it is.13. The word “significant” in paragraph 3 has the similar meaning with________.A. fatalB. meaningfulC. harmfulD. remarkable14. Radiation can hurt us in that it can_______.A. affect the healthy growth of our offspring.B. damage cells which grow into cancer years later.C. kill large number of cells in main organs so as to cause death immediately.D. all of the above15. What’s the author’s main purpos e in writing this passage?A. Emphasizing the importance of protection of radiation.B. Solving the mystery about radiation.C. Discussing the cause of cancer.D. Introducing the nuclear power.Passage two:A few years ago a young mother watched her husband diaper(给……换尿布) their firstborn son. “You done not have to be unhappy about it,” she protested. “You can talk to him and smile a little.” The father, who happened to be a psychologist, answered firmly, “He has nothing to say to me, and I have nothing to s ay to him.”Psychologist now know how wrong that father was. From the moment of birth, a baby has a great deal to say to his parent and they to him. But a decade or so ago, these experts wear describing the newborn as a primitive creature who reacted only by reflex, a helpless victim of its environment without capacity toinfluence it. And mothers accepted the truth. Most thought (and some still do) that a new infant could see only blurry(模糊的) shadows, that his other senses were undeveloped, and that all he required was nourishment, clean diapers, and a warm bassinet.Today university laboratories across the country are studying newborns in their first month of life. As a result, psychologists now describe the new baby as perceptive , with remarkable learning abilities and an even more remarkable capacity to shape his or her environment including the attitudes and actions of his parents. Some researchers believe that the neonatal period may even be the most significant four weeks in an entire lifetime.Far from being helpless, the newborn knows what he likes and rejects what he doesn’t. He shut out unpleasant sensations by closing his eyes or averting his face. He is a glutton for novelty. He prefers animate things over inanimate and likes people more than anything.When a more nine minutes out, an infant prefers a human face to a head-shaped outline. He makes the choice despite the fact that, with delivery room attendants masked and gowned, he has never seen a human face before. By the time he’s twel ve hours old, his entire body moves in precise synchrony (同时发生) to the sound ofa human voice, as if he were dancing. A non-human sound, such as a tapping noise, brings no such response.16.The author points out that the father diapering his first-born son was wrong because________.A. he believed the baby was not able to hear himB. he thought the baby didn’t have the power of speechC. he was a psychologist unworthy of his professionD. he thought the baby was not capable of any response17. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. A new infant can see only blurry shadows.B. A new infant’s senses are undevelopedC. All a new infant requires is nourishment, clean diapers, and a warm bassinet.D. A new infant is actually able to influence his or her environment18. What does the sentence “He is a glutton for novelty” probably mean?A. The newborn is greedy for new foodB. The newborn tends to overeatC. The newborn always loves things that are new to himD. T he newborn’s appetite is a cons tant topic in novels19.According to the passage, it’s groundless to think that newborns prefer________.A. a human face to a head-shaped outlineB. animate things to inanimate onesC. human voice to non-human soundsD. nourishment to a warm bassinet20. What is the passage mainly discussing about?A. What people know about newbornsB. How wrong parents are when they handle their babiesC. How much newborns have progressed in about a decade’s timeD. Why the first month of life is the most significant four weeks in a lifetimePassage three:The interview is an important event in the job-hunting process, because the 20 or 30 minutes you spend with the interviewer may determine whether or not you get the particularjob you want. Therefore ,it is important to remember that your objective during the interview may differ from the objective of the potential employer. You want to make yourself stand out as a whole person who has personal strengths, is well qualified, and should be considered the right person for the job. It is encouraging to know that the interview’s task is not to embarrass you or to trip you up, but to hire the right person for the job.Remember, job hunting is very competitive. Anything you can do to enhance your interview techniques will be to your advantage. The following suggestions may help you land the most important job.Your goal in this interview is to make sure your good points get across.

If you have been fired from a job and the interviewer asks about it, be frank in your answer.Show the interviewer that you are interested in the company by asking relevant questions. Ask about responsibilities, working conditions, promotion opportunities and fringe benefits(附加福利)of the job you are interviewing for.If at some point you decide the interview is not going well, do not let your discouragement show. You have nothing to lose by continuing a show of confidence, and you may have much to gain. It may be real, or it may be a test to see how you react to adverse conditions.Some interviewers may bring up salary early in the interview. At this time, you may indicate that you are more interested in a job where you can prove yourself than a specific salary. Thispolitely passes the question back to the interviewer. If possible, you should negotiate for salary after you have been offered a job and when you are when you are ready to complete the paperwork.21.

Like all tools, their effectiveness depends on the knowledge, skill, and sincerity of the user. A hammer can be used to build a beautiful kitchen cabinet of it can be used as a weapon of assault. Like a hammer, intelligence tests can be used for positive purposes or they can be abusive. It is important for both the test constructor and the test examiner to be familiar with the current state of scientific knowledge about intelligence and intelligence tests.Even though they have limitations, intelligence tests are among psychology’s most widely used tools. To be effective, though, intelligence tests must be viewed realistically. They should not be thought of as a fixed, unchanging indicator of a person’s in telligence. They should also be used in conjunction with other information about a person and should not be relied upon as the sole indicator of whether a child should be placed in a special-education or gifted class. The child’s developmental history, medical background, performance in school, social competencies, and family experiences should be taken into account, too.The single number provided by many IQ tests can easily lead to stereotypes and expectations about a person. Many people do not know how to sweeping generalizations about a person are too often made on the basis of an IQ score. Imagine, for example,that you are a teacher sitting in the teacher’s lounge the day after school has started in the a fellow teacher remarks that she had Johnny in class last year, and goes on to say that he was a dunce. You cannot help but remember this information, and it may lead you to think that Johnny Jones is not very bright so it is useless to spend much time teaching him. In this way, IQ scores are misused and stereotypes are formed.26. According to the author, intelligence tests_______.A. cannot be used as the indicator of a person’s intelligence.B. Can be used for positive purposes and can also be misused.C. Are widely used because it is the so le i ndicator of one’s intelligence.D. Are not so effective due to their own shortcomings27. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. The knowledge, skill and the sincerity of the user are the factors determining the effectiveness of the psychological testB. Since the intelligence tests have limitations, their results are not reliable although they are used very often.C. A person’s intelligence can be measured with precision and accuracy if he or she takes an intelligence test.D. Whether a child should be placed in a gifted class can easily be decided by his performance in the intelligence test.28. The word “dunce”( Para. 3) stands for______.A. an average studentB. a slow learnerC. a dancing genius D . a lazy boy or girl29. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that_______.A. low score in intelligence test indicate that one is a slow learnerB. intelligence tests are not scientific and must be prohibitedC. teacher should not treat students unequally according to their intelligence differenceD. intelligence tests are often misused and often lead to stereotype30.

Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words(not exceeding 10 words)Mark Twain once remarked that the most impressive quality of weather was its dazzling(使人眼花缭乱的)uncertainty. More than a century later, we are still struggling to precisely predict, much less control, the atmospheric conditions around us. Yet researchers are at work on many fronts in the attempt to master the weather.For instance, we’ve made some progress in getting clouds to rain more or less on command. Recent studies show thatwater-absorbing salts scattered by aircraft may bring about a rainfall more effectively than dry ice. The crystals attract water droplets that otherwise would form around tiny specks of dust and remain too small and light to plunge to earth.We can’t yet “make” rain, but under the right conditions, a touch of airborne salt increases rainfall by 12 to 14 percent.Many people, on the other hand, are more interested in knowing whether it will rain at all –or rain so hard that they might expect some damage. Most forecasts are reasonably accurate from about 12 hours out to around five days. Any forecasts closer than that—or more remote –are problematic. But progress is being made in both directions.Nationwide, for instance, there’s growing interest in “nowcasting”—creating highly detailed forecasts for areas that extend out a mere 30 minutes or so. This is a tough task. Looking only at a growing thunderstorm itself doe sn’t give you enough information to accurately predict its development and path. You have to understand the environment the storm is in, including storms around it, atmospheric stability, and other factors.Long—term forecasts are also improving thanks to more powerful computers, improved modeling, and satellite and ocean—sensor data. We’ll probably never be able to say that a storm will hit Seattle one year from now, but we’re learning about different weather cycles and their implications.What about a ctually changing the weather? “The idea of controlling the weather is science fiction,” snorts Professor Roni Avissar at Rutgers University.Nevertheless, people may one day have to seriously consider ways to reverse a different, unintended weather experiment: global warming caused by excess “greenhouse” gases fromburnjing fossil fuels (矿物燃料)。

Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes)Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1.For questions 1-7, markY (for YES) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage;N (for NO) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage;NG (for NOT GIVEN) if the information is not given in the passage.For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.LandfillsYou have just finished your meal at a fast food restaurant and you throw your uneaten food, food wrappers,drink cups, utensils and napkins into the trash can. You don’t think about that waste again. On trash pickup day in your neighborhood, you push your can out to the curb, and workers dump the contents into a big truck and haul it away. You don’t have to think about that waste again, either.But maybe you have wondered, as you watch the trash truck pull away, just where that garbage ends up.Americans generate trash at an Astonishing rate of four pounds per day per person; which translates to 600,000 tons per day or 210 million tons per year! This is almost twice as much trash per person as most other major countries. What happens to this trash? Some gets recycled (回收利用)or recovered and some is burned, but the majority is buried in landfills.How Much Trash Is Generated?Of the 210 million tons of trash, or solid waste, generated in the United States annually, about 56 million tons, or 27 percent, is either recycled (glass, paper products, plastic, metals) or composted (做成堆肥) (yard waste). The remaining trash, which is mostly unrecyclable,is discarded.How Is Trash Disposed of ?The trash production in the United States has almost tripled since 1960. This trash is handled in various ways. About 27 percent of the trash is recycled or composted, 16 percent is burned and 57 percent is buried in landfills. The amount of trash buried in landfills has doubled since 1960. The United States ranks somewhere in the middle of the major countries (United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, France and Japan) in landfill disposal. The United Kingdom ranks highest, burying about 90 percent of its solid waste in landfills.What Is a Landfill?There are two ways to bury trash:n Dump—an open hole in the ground where trash is buried and that is full of various animals (rats, mice, birds). (This is most people’s idea of a landfill!) n Landfill—carefully designed structure built into or on top of the ground in which trash is isolated from the surrounding environment (groundwater, air, rain). This isolation is accomplished with a bottom liner and daily covering of soil.¨ Sanitary landfill—land fill that uses a clay liner to isolate the trash from the environment¨ Municipal so lid waste (MSW) landfill—landfill that uses a synthetic (plastic) liner to isolate the trash from the environmentThe purpose of a landfill is to bury the trash in sucha way that it will be isolated from groundwater, will be kept dry and will not be in contact with air. Under these conditions, trash will not decompose (腐烂) much. Alandfill is not like a compost pile, where the purpose isto bury trash in such a way that it will decompose quickly.Proposing the LandfillFor a landfill to be built, the operators have to make sure that they follow certain steps. In most parts of the world, there are regulations that govern where a landfill can be placed and how it can operate. The whole process begins with someone proposing the landfill.In the United States, taking care of trash and building landfills are local government responsibilities. Before a city or other authority can build a landfill, an environment impactstudy must be done on the proposed site to determine:n the area of land necessary for the landfilln the composition of the underlying soil and bedrockn the flow of surface water over the siten the impact of the proposed landfill on the local environment and wildlifen the historical value of the proposed siteBuilding the LandfillOnce the environmental impact study is complete, the permits are granted and the funds have been raised, then construction begins. First, access roads to the landfillsite must be built if they do not already exist. Thereroads will be used by construction equipment, sanitation(环卫) services and the general public. After roads havebeen built, digging can begin. In the North Wake Country Landfill, the landfill began 10 feet below the road surface.What Happens to Trash in a Landfill?Trash put in a landfill will stay there for a very long time. Inside a landfill, there is little oxygen and little moisture. Under these conditions, trash does not break down very rapidly. In fact, when old landfills have been dug upor sampled, 40-year-old newspapers have been found with easily readable print. Landfills are not designed to break down trash, merely to bury it. When a landfill closes, the site, especially the groundwater, must be monitored and maintained for up to 30 years!How Is a Landfill Operated?A landfill, such as the North Wake County Landfill, must be open and available every day. Customers are typically municipalities and construction companies, although residents may also use the landfill.Near the entrance of the landfill is a recycling center where residents can drop off recyclable materials (aluminum cans, glass bottles, newspapers and paper products). This helps to reduce the amount of material in the landfill. Some of these materials are banned from landfills by law because they can be recycled.As customers enter the site, their trucks are weighed at the scale house. Customers are charged tipping fees for using the site. The tipping fees vary from $10 to $40 per ton. These fees are used to pay for operation costs. The North Wake County Landfill has an operating budget ofapproximately $4.5 million, and part of that comes from tipping fees.Along the site, there are drop-off stations for materials that are not wanted or legally banned by the landfill. A multi-material drop-off station is used for tires, motor oil, lead-acid batteries. Some of these materials can be recycled.In addition, there is a household hazardous waste drop-off station for chemicals (paints, pesticides, other chemicals) that are banned from the landfill. These chemicals are disposed of by private companies. Some paints can be recycled and some organic chemicals can be burned in furnaces or power plants.Other structures alongside the landfill are the borrowed area that supplies the soil for the landfill, the runoff collection pond and methane (甲烷) station.Landfills are complicated structures that, when properly designed and managed, serve an important purpose. In the future, new technologies called bioreactors will be used to speed the breakdown of trash in landfills and produce more methane.注意:此部分试题请在答题卡1上作答;8-10题在答题卡1上。

ot on dry land by a receding sea. Then imagine dust storms sweeping up toxic pesticides and chemical fertilizers from the dry seabed and spewing them across towns and villages.Seem like a scene from a movie about the end of the world? For people living near near the the the Aral Aral Aral sea sea sea ((咸海) ) in in in Central Central Central Asia, Asia, Asia, it‟s it‟s it‟s all all all too too too real. real. real. Thirty Thirty Thirty years years years ago, ago, government planners diverted the rivers that flow into the sea in order to irrigate (provide water for ) farmland. As a result, the sea has shrunk to half its original size stranding (使搁浅) ships on dry land. The seawater has tripled in salt content and become polluted, killing all 24 native species of fish.Similar large--scale efforts to redirect water in other parts of the world have also ended in ecological crisis, according to numerous environmental groups. But many countries continue to build massive dams and irrigation systems, even though such projects can create more problems than they fix. Why? People in many parts of the world are desperate for water, and more people will need more water in the next century.“Growing populations will worsen problems with water,” says Peter H.Gleick, an an environmental environmental environmental scientist scientist scientist at at at the the the Pacific Pacific Pacific Institute Institute Institute for for for studies studies studies in in in Development, Development, Environment, and Security, a research organization in California. He fears that by the year 2025, as many as one--third of the world‟s projected (预测的) 8.3 billion 3 people will suffer from water shortages. WHERE WATER GOESOnly 2.5 percent of all water on Earth is freshwater, water suitable for drinking and growing food, says Sandra Postel, director of the Global Water Policy Project in Amherst, Mass. Two--thirds of this freshwater is locked in glaciers (冰山) and ice caps (冰盖)(冰盖). In fact, only a tiny percentage of freshwater is part of the water cycle, in which water evaporates and rises into the atmosphere, then condenses and falls back to Earth as precipitation (rain or snow). Some Some precipitation precipitation precipitation runs runs runs off off off land land land to to to lakes lakes lakes and and and oceans, oceans, oceans, and and and some some some becomes becomes groundwater, groundwater, water water water that that that seeps seeps seeps into into into the the the earth. earth. earth. Much Much Much of of of this this this renewable renewable renewable freshwater freshwater ends up in remote places like the Amazon river basin in Brazil, where few people live. In fact, the world‟s population has access to only 12,500 cubic kilometers of freshwater freshwater——about the amount of water in Lake Superior(苏必利尔湖). And people use half of this amount already. “If water demand continues to climb rapidly,” says Postel, “there will be severe shortages and damage to the aquatic (水的) environment.”CLOSE

We spend long, lazy days on a beach chair or in a hammock and socialize the night away with rum drinks, fancy martinis, and indulgent desserts. Too often, we return home heavier and flabbier than we’ve been since, well, our last vacation.B) It doesn’t have to be this way.C) Active vacations are often the most relaxing of all. Wait! It’s all in defining what an active vacation is. We don’t expect you to take up jogging, backpacking, or hang gliding. Rather, we ask the sedentary vacationers among you to spend two to four hours a day doing things. Walking the city streets. Exploring a nature preserve. Going to a zoo. Biking along the ocean. Taking a leisurely rowboat ride.D) These kinds of activities aren’t just good for your physical health. Theyimprove your mental health, even your spiritual health. And they make vacations memorable and worthwhile. And after all, isn’t that what you want from your vacation? Here are some fresh ideas to make your vacations as pleasurable as they are active and healthy.E) 1. Make morning time your activity time. Most likely the weather will be friendlier, your energy level higher, and your agenda emptier than later in the day.F) 2. Reacquaint yourself with sunrises and sunsets. A walk at dawn or dusk is rejuvenation defined. Try to make this a daily ritual of life away from home, and you will guarantee yourself both physical and spiritual replenishment (补给,补充).G) 3. Get into the water as much as you can.Don’t allow yourself to spend all your time sitting in front of the water. Whether it is the ocean, a swimming pool, or a tree-lined lake, make sure you get into the water for swimming or games or even walking. Heck, merely standing in waist-high water is a good workout, thanks to the action of the water. And you’ll feel so much more alive!H) 4. Get on the water as much as you can. Paddleboats are a blast. Canoeing is a joy. Rowboats are romantic. Powerboats exhilarating. Sailboats serene. Kayaks pure adventure. Inner tubes can erase 50 years from your attitude in a matter of minutes. Even standing at the rail of a steamboat is exciting. Boats make you feel young, and whether you are propelling them or not, they all burn calories and engage your muscles more than being on dry land.I) 5. Choose a cruise for your trip.It’s amazing how active you can be being stuck on a boat in the middle of the Atlantic. Most cruise ships offer numerous options for seaworthy exercise. Most ships house pools, golf simulators, rock walls, basketball hoops, fitness centers, jogging and walking areas, and instructor-led fitness classes —and that’s just what’s on board. During your sea and land excursions you can burn calories as you snorkel, swim, hike, scuba dive, andhorseback ride.J) 6. Get out of the car every two hours. Many of us spend a large chunk of our vacations on the road, either getting to and from our destinations, or using the car for sightseeing. But no matter how beautiful the scenery is, great, memorable vacations don’t happen in a car seat. Don’t wait for exhaustion or nature’s call to get you to pull over. Frequently get out and stretch, walk, picnic, shop, visit, and have fun. It’s important for your health and energy, and it makes traveling a lot more active and interesting.K) 7. Play active games. When most people think of outdoor games, they think of team sports like baseball, football, or volleyball, all of which can be both intimidating and excessively strenuous for grown-ups who stopped playing such things a long time back. So forget about the standard games. All types of fun outdoor games are available today. Start with the old-fashioned ones —badminton, shuffleboard, horseshoes, Wiffle ball, or bocce. Try some new ones too — they make great balls out of Nerf these days, and if you haven’t bought a squirt gun in a while, be prepared for today’s amazing supersoak ers. Plus all types of new paddle games are available that are easy and fun. Your goal: Play an outdoor game every day while on vacation.L) 8. Create a silly tournament.Particularly if there are kids on the vacation, it can be a hoot to create your own mini-Olympics. For example, if you use the swimming pool every day, have a daily competition, such as holding your breath underwater, or swimming between people’s legs, or having a big splash contest. Or maybe a weeklong badminton competition. “Silly” is th e operative word —don’t make it a serious competition, but just a chance to have active fun in which everyone participates.M) 9. Play miniature golf.You burn more calories sitting than lying, standing than sitting, and walking than standing. Although mi niature golf won’t incinerate fat, it will burn more calories than lying in a hammock. Plus, your kids will havea great time. You probably will too.N) 10. Beware the food obsession.Let’s be honest: For many of us, vacations are about eating splurges. It’s fresh seafood by the ocean, amazing restaurants in great cities, unlimited breakfast buffets at the hotel, that ice cream/candy/cake/jambalaya that you remember as a child and come back for every few years. This is the stuff of great vacations, and don’t deny yourself these pleasures. Our suggestion: Limit yourself to one food splurge a day. If you do more, the uniqueness and specialness of the splurges fade away. And you’ll spend too much time sitting in restaurants —and then sitting some more, recuperating from the overindulgence.O) 11. Explore on foot. Yes, you can use the concierge, the travel guides, the map, or the bus tours to get acquainted with a new location. But only by getting out and walking can you truly get the feel of a village, city, resort, or wilderness. We recommend that you plan to spend the first several hours at your vacation destination walking the area. If you are in a city, pick a few restaurants to try while you are walking and make your reservations in person. Be sure to locate the parks, museums, and shopping areas.P) 12. Fly a stunt kite.If there’s a good wind blowing at your destination, purchase a stunt kite and take it to the beach or other large open area. These kites can be easily assembled and then taken apart, making them perfect for traveling. You’ll give your upper body a great workout as you struggle to control the kite. You may also have to run or walk to keep the kite in the air — or chase it down once it plummets to the earth.Q) 13. Schedule an activity-based vacation.Ready to commit to even more action? Wrap your entire vacation around an activity, such as sailing, skiing, hiking, biking, or exploring. No expertise is necessary — just a willingness to take on a new challenge. Travel agents can hook you up with any number of vacation packagestargeted from novice to expert, adolescent to senior, single or whole family. If you have children, look for packages that include excavating dinosaur bones and other anthropological expeditions, or that teach them a new sport. A ski vacation with lessons for different ages and ability levels works beautifully.46. Biking along the ocean can be included as an active vacation.47. Swimming and water games can be beneficial to human health.48. Don’t make your own mini-Olympics a serious competition, but just a chance tohave active fun in which everyone participates.49. On vacations one should limit to one food splurge a day.50. Try to make a walk at dawn or dusk a daily ritual of life away from home.51. Outdoor games usually refer to team sports like baseball, football, or volleyball,all of which can be both intimidating and excessively strenuous for grown-ups who stopped playing such things a long time back.52. Boats make you feel young, and whether you are propelling them or not, they allburn calories and engage your muscles more than being on dry land.53. If you are in a city, pick a few restaurants to try while you are walking andyou’re your reservations in person.54. Morning is the best activity time because your energy level is higher in the morning.55. Travel agents can hook you up with any number of vacation packages targeted fromnovice to expert, adolescent to senior, single or whole family.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 to 60 are based on the following passage.Over 60 million persons in the United States own a credit card. For these millions of Americans a credit card brings freedom to them. It has had effect of increasing consumption possibilities for households by allowing them to purchase thousands of dollars of merchandise, ranging from autos, clothing, to electrical appliances. The widespread use of credit card nowadays shocks the imagination to the point where one wonders whether the total amount of consumption spending each year would be the same if this plastic money were not around. Credit cards have also been of significant importance to the national economy. Businessmen have been encouraged to expand plant and equipment and hire additional personnel to meet the heavy demand for their products. The tendency of employment and income would rise significantly.Unfortunately, the ease with which buyers can increase their purchase with credit cards has caused them to overlook the additional costs. Purchase on credit cards are postponed payments. Buy-now-pay-later encourages buyers to use credit cards extensively. Since the buyer is in effect borrowing money for a special purpose, he must expect to pay an interest charge. Interest is the price of using money over a long period of time. A close analysis of the use for credit cards for heavy purchaseswill show that the buyer has added to the cost of making these purchases. It must also be kept in mind that unpaid monthly balances mean added interest charges. Furthermore, the use of credit cards will add to the cost of the product since the shopkeeper does not receive the money at the time of the purchases. Shopkeepers might add on the cost of handing credit cards to the bill. One of the arguments against the use of credit cards has been that those who do pay cash at purchase finance the use of a credit card by another person. This is so, the argument runs, because the price of a product will include the cost of another person’s use of a cre dit card.56. In the first paragraph, what does “plastic money” (Line 6, Para. 1) refer to?A) Dollars. B) Online payment. C) Credit cards. D) Coins.57. Which of the following is NOT true about credit cards?A) Shopkeepers, among others, object to the use of credit cards because they addon the cost of the merchandise.B) Credit card holders actually pay for their shopping goods after the purchasehas been completed.C) The national economy enjoys extensive growth because of the use of credit cards.D) It has had the effect of increasing consumption.58. What is the disadvantage of credit cards?A) It may lead to the overgrowth of the national economy.B) The delay in the payment of shopping goods may bring damage to shopkeepers’ profits.C) Some people may intentionally purchase goods that they cannot possibly afford.D) Those who pay by cash at the purchase will have to pay for the cost added tothe product as the interest charge of credit cards.59. What is the main topic of the text?A) Advantages and Disadvantages of Credit Cards.B) Economic Growth Backed up by the Use of Credit Cards.C) It can encourage great sums of consumption.D) Credit Cards Make Life Easier.60. The author’s attitude towards credit card is .A) agreeable B) neutral C) humorous D) oppositionalPassage TwoQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.Lie detectors are widely used in the United States to find out whether a person is telling the truth or not. Polygraphers, the people who operate them, claim that they can establish guilt by detecting physiological changes that accompany emotional stress. The technique adopted is to ask leading questions such as, “Did you take the money?” or “Where did you hide the money?” mixed in with neutral questions, an d measure the subject’s electrical resistance in the palm or changes in his breathing and heart rate. Such apparatus has obtained widespread recognition.Whether lie detectors will ever be adopted on a similar scale in Britain is still a matter of opinion. At first sight, it appears obvious that any simple, reliable methods of convicting guilty people is valuable, but recent research sponsored by the . Office of Public Health not only raises doubts about how lie detectors should be used but also makes it questionable whether they should be employed at all.The point is that, apart from many of the polygraphers being unqualified, the tests themselves are by no means free from error, primarily because they discounthuman imagination and ingenuity. Think of all those perfectly innocent people, with nothing to be afraid of, who blush and stammer when a customs officer asks them if they have anything to declare. Fear, and a consequently heightened electrical response, may not be enough to establish guilt. It depends on whether the subject is afraid of being found out or afraid of being wrongfully convicted. On the other hand, the person who is really guilty and whose... or deliberately giving exaggerated responses to neutral ones!The success rate of up to 90% claimed for lie detectors is misleadingly attractive. If we refer such a figure to a company with 50 employees, twenty of whom are thieves, the lie detector could catch 18 of them but in doing so would place 32 innocent employees under suspicion. The problem for the management would therefore become one of deciding how much industrial unrest they are prepared to cause in order to eliminate theft. What concerns research workers even more, of course, is the fact that a certain number of innocent people are bound to be convicted of crimes they have not committed.61. Lie detectors are widely used in the United States because .A) they can help detect people’s emotional stressB) they can help detect people’s physiological changesC) they can help find out whether a person is telling the truth or notD) they can measure the subjects’ electrical resistance62. According to the passage, we know that Britain .A) will adopt lie detectors widelyB) will adopt lie detectors on a smaller scaleC) adopt lie detectorsD) has not decided whether to adopt lie detectors or not63. “..., the tests themselves are by no means free from error,... ” (Line 2, Para.3) means .A) the tests definitely have no errorB) the tests sometimes make mistakesC) the polygraphers do not make mistakesD) the polygraphers can avoid error by using some techniques64. Which of the following is true?A) The tests are conducted by qualified polygraphers.B) Innocent people may blush or stammer when questioned.C) Guilty people can definitely be found out by answer questions.D) Guilty people may escape by refusing to answer questions.65. What troubles lie detector researchers most is that .A) innocent people are convicted crimesB) innocent people will learn to tell liesC) lie detectors may cause industrial unrestsD) lie detectors are sometimes not dependablePart IV Translation (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.
