Each word can only beMany of the Chinese words that are now part of English were borrowed long ago. They are most often from Cantonese(粤语) or other Chinese languages rather than Mandarin. Let’s start with them. kowtowThe English word kowtow is a verb that means to agree too easily to do what someone else wants you to do, or to obey someone with power in a way that seems (31)__________. It comes from the Cantonese word kau tau, which means "knock your head." It refers to the act of kneeling and lowering one's head as a sign of respect to (32)__________ – such as emperors, elders and leaders. In the case of emperors, the act required the person to touch their head to the ground. Britain's Lord George Macartney refused to "kau tau" to the Qianlong Emperor. Soon after, the English word "kowtow" was born. In 1793, Britain's King George III sent Lord George Macartney and other trade ambassadors to China to (33)__________ a trade agreement. The Chinese asked them to kowtow tothe Qianlong Emperor. As the story goes, Lord Macartney refused for his (34)__________ to do more than bend their knees. He said that was all they were required to do for their own king.It is not surprising, then, that Macartney left China without negotiating the trade agreement. After that, critics used the word kowtow when anyone was too submissive to China. Today, the usage has no connection to China, nor any specific political connection.gung-hoAnother borrowed word that came about through (35)__________ between two nations is gung-ho. In English, the word gung-ho is an adjective that means extremely excited about doing something. The Chinese characters "gōng" and "hé" together mean "work together, cooperate." The original term -- gōngyè hézuòshè -- means Chinese Industrial Cooperatives. The organizations were established in the 1930s by Westerners in China to promote industrial and economic development. Lt. Colonel Evans Carlson of the United States Marine Corps observed these cooperatives while he was in China. He was impressed, saying "...all the soldiers (36)__________ themselves to one idea and worked together to put that idea over."He then began using the term gung-ho in the Marine Corps to try to create the same spirit he had (37)__________. In 1942, he used the word as a training slogan for the 2nd Marine Raider Battalion during World War II. The men were often called the "Gung Ho Battalion." From then, the word gung-ho spread as a slogan throughout the Marine Corps. Today, its meaning has no relation to the military.typhoonIn English, a typhoon is a very powerful and (38)__________ storm that occurs around the China Sea and in the South Pacific. The word history of typhoon had a far less direct path to the English language than gung-ho. And not all historical accounts are the same. But, according to the Merriam-Webster New Book of Word Histories, the first typhoons reported in the English language were in India and were called "touffons" or "tufans." The word tufan or al-tufan is Arabic and means violent storm or flood. The English came across this word in India and borrowed it as touffon. Later, when English ships encountered violent storms in the China Sea, Englishmen learned the Cantonese word tai fung, which means "great wind." The word's (39)__________ to touffon is only by chance. The modern form of the word – typhoon – was influenced by the Cantonese but (40)__________to make it appear more Greek.III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.When 17-year-old Quattro Musser hangs out with friends, they don't drink beer or cruise around in cars with their dates. (41)__________, they stick to G-rated activities such as rock-climbing or talking about books.They are in good company, according to a new study showing that teenagers are increasingly delaying activities that had long been seen as rites of passage into adulthood. The study, published Tuesday in the journal Child Development, found that the percentage of (42)__________ in the U.S. who have a driver's license, who have tried alcohol, who date, and who work for pay has plummeted since 1976, with the most precipitous(急剧的) (43)__________ in the past decade. The declines appeared across race, geographic, and socioeconomic lines, and in rural, urban, and suburban areas.To be sure, more than half of teens still engage in these activities, but the (44)__________ have slimmed considerably. Teens have also reported a steady decline in sexual activity in recent decades, as the portion of high school students who have had sex fell from 54 percent in 1991 to 41 percent in 2015, according to Centers for Disease Control statistics. "People say, 'Oh, it's because teenagers are more responsible, or more lazy, or more boring,' but they're (45)__________ the larger trend," said Jean Twenge, lead author of the study, which drew on seven large time-lag surveys of Americans. Rather, she said, kids may be less (46)__________ in activities such as dating, driving or getting jobs because in today's society, they no longer need to.According to an evolutionary psychology theory that a person's "life strategy" slows down or speeds up depending on his or her (47)__________, exposure to a "harsh and unpredictable" environment leads to faster development, while a more resource-rich and secure environment has the (48)__________ effect, the study said. In the first (49)__________, "You'd have a lot of kids and be in survival mode, start having kids young, expect your kids will have kids young, and expect that there will be more (50)__________ and fewer resources," said Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University who is the author of "iGen: Why Today's Super-Connected Kids Are Growing Up Less Rebellious, More Tolerant, Less Happy - and Completely Unprepared for Adulthood."In that model a teenage boy might be thinking more (51)__________ about marriage, and driving a car and working for pay would be important for "establishing mate value based on procurement of resources," the study said. But America is shifting more toward the (52)__________ model, and the change is apparent across the socioeconomic spectrum, Twenge said. "Even in families whose parents didn't have a college education...families are smaller, and the idea that children need to be carefully (53)__________ has really sunk in." The (54)__________ of "adult activities" could not be attributed to more homework or extracurricular activities, the study said, noting that teens today spend fewer hours on homework and the same amount of time on extracurriculars as they did in the 1990s (with the exception of community service, which has risen slightly). Nor could the use of smartphones and the Internet be entirely the (55)__________, the report said, since the decline began before they were widely available. If the delay is to make room for creative exploration and forming better social and emotional connections, it is a good thing, he said.41.A.Therefore B.Rather C.Moreover D.Besides42.A.childhood B.neighborhood C.adolescents D.adulthood43.A.escapes B.ends C.decreases D.changes44.A.minorities B.majorities C.masses D.amounts45.A.taking B.avoiding C.sending D.missing46.A.interested B.envied C.relieved D.realized47.A.emotions B.surroundings C.customs D.habits48.A.wrong B.same C.opposite D.similar49.A.event B.issue C.case D.occasion50.A.trouble B.questions C.benefits D.diseases51.A.respectively B.delicately C.seriously D.considerably52.A.slower B.better C.smaller D.faster53.A.emphasized B.related anized cated54.A.implement B.postponement C.achievement D.payment55.A.cause B.impact C.fact D.resultSection BDirections: Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.Fore each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Bitcoin and other so-called cryptocurrencies(加密货币) have been all over the news lately.Apparently, the idea of money that’s not tied to a specific bank -or a specific country - is appealing to many. But it's worth remembering that the banking system that we now all live with is just that: A modern invention. Not so long ago, money was almost always created and used locally, and bartering was common. In fact, it still is common among many online local networks, like the Buy Nothing Project.).In the past, money's makeup varied from place to place, depending on what was considered valuable there. So while some of the world's first coins were made from a naturally occurring hybrid of gold and silver called electrum(银金矿), objects other than coins have served as currency, including beads, ivory, livestock, and cowrie shells. In West Africa, bracelets of bronze or copper were used as cash, especially if the transaction was associated with the slave trade there. Throughout the colonial period, tobacco was used in lieu of coins or paper bills in Virginia, Maryland and North Carolina, even though it was used elsewhere in the colonies and extensively throughout Europe and the U.K.Today, on an island in the Pacific, a specific type of shell still serves as currency-and some people there are even hoarding(贮存) it, just like Bitcoin moguls, convinced that one day, it will make them wealthy beyond imagination.On Malaita, the most-populated island that's part of the Solomon Islands, shells are accepted at most places in exchange for goods."How much tuna(金枪鱼) you can get for your shells depends on their color and shape," Mary Bruno, a shop owner from the small town of Auki, on Malaita, told Vice. "One strip of darker shells might get you about two cans of smaller tuna, but the red ones are worth more. For the red ones, one strip might get enough tuna to feed a big family for a long time."Just like a mint that creates coins, there's only one place on the island where the shells, which are polished and strung together to form 3-foot-long ropes, are made.The strips of red, white, and black shells all come from Langa Langa Lagoon, where artificial islands were long-ago built by locals to escape from the island-dwelling cannibals. Once marooned(困住) out on their islands, locals needed a currency to use among themselves, and so the shell currency was born.Using shells for money was common throughout the Pacific islands as late as the early 1900s, but Malaita is unique in that they are still used today. And just like cryptocurrencies, there are those whothink the islanders are smart to invest in this type of money, which is reported to have risen in value over the last three decades. It might seem strange to hoard a bunch of processed, strung-together shells, but what is a pile of dollars? Just a specially printed piece of paper and hemp that we've assigned value to—and probably less durable over time than those shells.56.According to the passage which of the following is TRUE?A.Money was created and was widely used in the world.B.Tobacco was used as coins or paper bills in American in the past.C.The ingredients of world’s first coins may be the combination of gold and silver.ing shells for money has been out of date in the world.57.The word “mint” in paragraph 5 is closest in the meaning to “__________”.A.a kind of money that can exchangeB.the leaves of a mint plant used fresh or candiedC.a place to produce and polish shellsD.a factory that produces currency58.What’s opinion of the author towards shells for money?A.Reasonable.B.Imaginary.C.Convenient.D.Inventive.59.Which of he following might be the best title of the passage?A.The History of BitcoinB.Shells Still MoneyC.The Currency Is of Great UseD.Some Shells(B)Moving a GiantThe logistics of excavating(挖掘) and relocating a town’s century-old,living sequoia(红杉) tree.Inhabitants of Boise, Idaho, watched with trepidation earlier this year as the city's oldest, tallest resident moved two blocks. The 105-year-old sequoia tree serves as a local landmark, not only for its longevity but also because renowned naturalist and Sierra Club co-founder John Muir provided the original seedling .So, when Saint Luke's Health System found that the 10-story-tall conifer(针叶树) stood stood in the way of its planned hospital expansion, officials called tree-moving firm Environmental Design.The Texas-based company has developed and patented scooping and lifting technology to move massive trees.Weighing in at more than 800,000 pounds, the Boise sequoia is its largest undertaking yet. “I (had) lost enough sleep over this," says David Cox, the company's Western region vice president-and that was before the hospital mentioned the tree's distinguished origin.Before the heavy lifting began, the team assessed the root system and dug a five-foot-deep cylinder, measuring 40 feet in diameter, around the trunk to protect all essential roots. After encapsulating the root ball in wire mesh, the movers allowed the tree to acclimate to its new situation for seven months before relocating it. The illustration details what followed.—Leslie Nemo1.Mark A.Merit and his team at Environmental Design installed underneath the root ball a platform of seven-inch-diameter,44-foot-long steelbars and,just below the rods,a first set of uninflated airbags (shown in gray).The team also dug a shallow ramp.2.In roughly 15 minutes,the movers inflated the airbags to about three feet in diameter to raise the root ball to the surface of the hole.3.By underinflating the front bags,the team allowed the platform carrying the tree to roll up the ramp and out of the hole while staying level.A trailer hauled the tree along as team members removed theairbags from the back of the platform and replaced them in the front.They repeated the process until the tree arrived at the edge of its new home.4.There a second set of partially inflated bags (shown in white) waited inside the hole.Soil surrounding the sequoia in its original location was relocated as well,because trees are more likely to survive a transplant when they move with their original soil.ing the first set of airbags,the movers rolled the platform into the new hole.6.The bags waiting there were then inflated further to take the weight of the sequoia while the transportation bags were deflated and removed from under the tree.7.The white bags were then deflated in about half an hour to lower the sequoia’s root ball to the bottom of its hole.The bags were removed,but the metal bars were left with the tree because they rust and degrade over a number of years.8.For the next five years the local park service will monitor and maintain the tree in its new home.60.Which of the following words can be used to replace the words underlined “stood in the way of”?A.Resisted.B.Balanced.C.Blocked.D.Promoted.61.What is the reason for the relocation of Sequoia trees?A.Because the Scooping and lifting technology should be put into use.B.Because it blocks local hospital expansion plans.C.Because it corresponds to government’s plan of Environmental Design.D.Because sequoia trees are over a hundred years old.62.How will the migrated sequoia trees be dealt with?A.They will be given new soil in the new living environment.B.Metal rods used to move sequoia trees will not be left on the trees.C.They will be kept in transport bags all the time.D.They will be managed by specialists in the next five years.(C)Understand the Economic Concept of a Budget LineThe term “budget line” has several related meanings,including a couple that are self-evident and a third that is not.The Budget Line as an Informal Consumer UnderstandingThe budget line is an elementary concept that most consumers understand intuitively without a need for graphs and equations—it's the household budget, for example.Taken informally, the budget line describes the boundary of affordability for a given budget and specific goods.Given a limited amount of money,a consumer can only spend that same amount buying goods.If the consumer has X amount of money and wants to buy two goods A and B,she can only purchase goods totaling X.If the consumer needs an amount of A costing 0.75 X,she can then spend only 0.25 X,the amount remaining,on her purchase of B.This seems almost too obvious to bother writing or reading about.As it turns out,however,this same concept—one that most consumers make many times each day with reflecting on it—is the basis of the more formal budget line concept in economics,which is explained below.Lines in a BudgetBefore turning to the economics definition of “budget line”,consider another concept:the line-item budget.This is effectively a map of future expenditures,with all the constituent expendituresindividually noted and quantified.There’s nothing very complicated about this;in this usage,a budget line is one of the lines in the budget,with the service or good to be purchased named and the cost quantified.The Budget Line as an Economics ConceptOne of the interesting ways the study of economics relates to human behavior generally is that a lot of economic theory is the formalization of the kind of simple concept outlined above--a consumer's informal understanding of the amount she has to spend and what that amount will buy. In the process of formalization, the concept can be expressed as a mathematical equation that can be applied generally.A Simple Budget Line GraphTo understand this, think of a graph where the vertical lines quantify how many movie tickets you can buy and where the horizontal lines do the same for crime novels. You like going to the movies and reading crime novels and you have $150 to spend. In the example below, assume that each movie costs $10 and each crime novel costs $15.The more formal economics term for these two items is budget set.If movies cost $10 each, then the maximum number of movies you can see with the money available is 15.To note this you make a dot at the number 15(for total movie tickets) at the extreme left-hand side of the chart. This same dot appears at the extreme left above "0"on the horizontal axis because you have no money left for books--the number of books available in this example is 0. You can also graph the other extreme--all crime novels and no movies. Since crime novels in the example cost $15 and you have $150 available, if you spend all the available money crime novels, you can buy 10.So you put a dot on the horizontal axis at the number 10.You'll place the dot at the bottom of the vertical axis because in this instance you have $0 available for movie tickets.If you now draw a line from the highest, leftmost dot to the lowest, rightmost dot you'll have created a budget line.Any combination of movies and crime novels that falls below the budget line is affordable. Any combination above it is not.63.Which sentence about the budget line is NOT TRUE?A.It is a limitation of affordability for a given budget and specific goods.B.Most costumers will be confused with this concept because of its complex.C.It is the effectively a map of future expenditures.D.It can be expressed as a mathematical equation.64.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To tell us any concept can be expressed as a mathematical equation.B.To help us figure out the meaning Budget Line.C.To tell us we should budget before we buy goods.D.To give an instruction of drawing a budget Line.65.Assume that each movie cost $10 and each crime novel costs $15,you have $150.Which is RIGHT according to this passage?A.The maximum number of movies you can see is 10.B.The maximum number of crime novels you can by is 15.C.You can buy 7 crime novels and see 5 movies.D.You can buy 7 crime novels and see 4 movies.66.What is the best title of this passage?A.Are we really know the economic concept of a budget line?B.The Budget Line as an Economics ConceptC.The Budget Line as an Informal Consumer UnderstandingD.The Complex Concept—Budget LineSection CDirections: Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in theParents are often surprised when teachers suggest their children read magazines.Read on to learn about the benefits that reading magazines offers to young readers and how to introduce your children to the medium.Magazine BenefitsMagazine articles can provide reluctant readers with a lively,breezy writing style that can inspire them to read more.The articles in magazines are generally short,which allows a child to finish reading a feature article without losing interest due to a short attention span.The writing in magazines also tends to be easy to read,especially if it is a children’s publication.By allowing your child to read magazines at an early age,you are encouraging development of a useful skill.(67)__________ Getting into the habit of reading periodicals as a child will foster the habit of reading news articles that may continue into adulthood.(68)__________ Magazine articles challenge students to think about issues they may have never considered or cause them to rethink their world rmation is available in a wide variety of reading levels because magazines are written for every audience imaginable.Many publications cover the same material in different writing styles that might make it easier for your child to comprehend.Magazine ActivitiesReading magazines as a family can be used to introduce each other to the various interests that each family member possesses.When your children are finished with their magazines,encourage them to pass their issue on to a sibling or other family member.Once each family member has finished reading each magazine,you can use them for art and writing projects.These projects are for family members of all ages:1.Cut out pictures to help your preschool and kindergarten children learn their alphabet,numbers,and colors.2.(69)__________ Paste the picture at the top of a page and have them write a story bout what is happening or what the picture represents.3.Clip pictures to create a collage.Many teenagers love using their artistic talents to collage.

(5%) Most of us have been taken in by the notion that speed of reading is a measure of our intelligence. There is no such thing as the right speed for intelligent reading. Some things should be read quickly and effortlessly, and some should be read slowly and even laboriously. The sign of intelligence in reading is the ability to read different things differently according to their worth. In the case of good books, the point is not to see how many of them you can get through but rather how many can get through you —how many you can make your own. A few friends are better than a thousand acquaintances. If this be your aim, as it should be, you will not be impatient if it takes more time and effort to read a great book than it does a newspaper.Topic Sentence:Section B: Fill in the blanks with appropriate transitional words from the box.

Before he went to college, he spent the summer as an arts counselor at camp.

(2) ________it can be very helpful in locating constellations, you must learn how to use a star map effectively. Astronomers use both binoculars and telescopes to observe the stars. (3) ________ you look at a constellation, you may see a planet wandering through it. (4) ________ there are eighty eight constellations, only about ten dozen constellations are visible at any time. (5) ________ the earth revolves around the sun, some constellations can be seen only during certain seasons.Section C: Put the following sentences in a logical order. (5%)A. Visual learners usually learn best when the teacher provides written study notes, writes on thechalkboard and uses an overhead projector to explain concepts.B. Visual learners frequently take detailed notes in class, when studying from a textbook or listening tolectures.C. If this sounds like you then you are probably a visual learner—many people are.D. Individuals that learn best when ideas or subjects are presented in a visual format, whether that iswritten language, pictures, diagrams or videos are visual learners.E. They also create diagrams and use pictures to understand and remember concepts and ideas.Part Four:Essay Writing: (40%) 课外Directions: Write an essay in around 200 words according to ONE of the following pieces of information.1.The unemployment rate in China has been steadily rising. Graduates are forced to take up jobs asbutchers, shoe polishers and nursemaids and some fresh graduates are even in unpaid internships.Write an essay of about 200 words, expressing your views on the new graduates’ job expectations, and “Should New Graduates Lower Job Expectations?” can be a possible topic.2. “Technology has given people easy access to everyone’s lives.

(5%) Most of us have been taken in by the notion that speed of reading is a measure of our intelligence. There is no such thing as the right speed for intelligent reading. Some things should be read quickly and effortlessly, and some should be read slowly and even laboriously. The sign of intelligence in reading is the ability to read different things differently according to their worth. In the case of good books, the point is not to see how many of them you can get through but rather how many can get through you —how many you can make your own. A few friends are better than a thousand acquaintances. If this be your aim, as it should be, you will not be impatient if it takes more time and effort to read a great book than it does a newspaper.Topic Sentence:Section B: Fill in the blanks with appropriate transitional words from the box.
