Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet. Passage OneCheating is nothing new, But today, educators and administrators are finding that instances of academic dishonesty on the part of students have become more frequent–and are less likely to be punished–than in thepast.Cheating appears to have gained acceptance among good and poor students alike.Why is student cheating on the rise? No one really knows .Some blame the trend on a general loosening of moral values among today's youth. Others have attributed increased cheating to the fact that today's youth are far more pragmatic(，实用主义，的)than their more idealistic predecessors. Whereas in thelate sixties and early seventiesstudents were filled with visions about changing the worldtoday‟s students feel great pressure to conform and succeed.In interviews with students at high schools and colleges around the country, both young men and women said that cheating had become easy. Some suggestedthey did it out of spite for teachers they did not respect. Others looked atit as a game. Only if they were caught, some said, would they feel guilty. “People are competitive,” said a second-year college student named Anna,from Chicago. There's an underlying fear. If you don't do well, your life is going to be ruined. The pressure is not only form parents and friends but from oneself. To achieve .To succeed. It‟s almost as though we have to outdo other people to achieve our own goals.Edward Wynne, a magazine editor, blames the rise in academic dishonesty on the schools. He claims that administrators and teachers have been too hesitantto take action. Dwight Huber, chairman of the English department at Amarillo. sees the matter differently, blaming the rise in cheating on the way students are evaluated. “I wouldcheat if I felt I was being cheated,” Mr. Huber said. He feels that as longas teachers gives short-answer tests rather than essay questions and rate students by the number of facts they can memorize rather than by how well they can put information together, students will try to beat the system. “The concept of cheating is based on the false assumption that the system is legitimate and there is something wrong with the individual who are doing it,” he said.“That's too easy an answer. We've got to start looking at the system.”21. Educators are finding that students who cheat_______.A. are more likely to be punished than beforeB. have poor academic recordsC. are not only those academically weakD. tend to be dishonest in later years 22. According to the passage, whichof the following statements is true?A. Students' cheating has deep social roots.B. Students do not cheat on essay tests.C. Reform in the testing system will eliminate cheating.D. Punishment is an effective method to stop cheating. 23. Which of the following points of view would Mr. Huber agree with?A. Punishment for cheaters should be severe in this country.B. Parents must take responsibility for the rise in cheating.C. Cheating would be reduced through an educational reform.D. Students who cheat should be expelled from school.24. The expression “the individuals” (the last paragraph) refers to________.A. parentsB. teachersC. school administratorsD. students who cheat 25. The passage mainly discusses_______.A. the decline of moral standards of today's youthB. people's tolerance of students' cheatingC. ways to eliminate academic dishonestyD. factors leading to academic dishonestyPassage TwoOf all the lessons taught by the financial crisis, the most personal has been that Americans aren‟t so good at money-management. We take out home loans we can'tafford. We run up sky-high credit-card debt. We don't save nearly enough for retirement. In response, supporters of financial-literacy education are moving with renewed enthusiasm. School districts in states such as New Jersey and Illinois are adding money-management courses to their curriculums. The Treasury and Education departments are sending lesson plans to high schools and encouraging students to compete in the National Financial Capability Challenge that begins in March.Students with top scores on that exam will receive certificates –but chances forlong-term benefits are slim. As it turns out, there is little evidencethat traditional efforts to boost financial know-how help students make better decisions outside the classroom. Even as the financial-literacy movement has gained steam over the past decade, scores have been falling on tests that measure how well students learn about things such as budgeting, credit cards, insurance and investments. A recent survey of college students conducted forthe JumpStart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy found that studentswho'd had a personal-finance or money-management course in high school scored no better than those who hadn't.“We need to figure out how to do this the right way,” says Lewis Mandell, a professor at the University of Washington who after 15 years of studying financial-literacy programs has come to the conclusion that current methodsdon't work. A growing number of researchers and educators agree that a more radical approach is needed. They advocate starting financial education a lot earlier than high school, putting real money and spending decisions into kids' hands and talking openly about the emotions and social influences tied to how we spend.Other initiatives are tacking such real-world issues as the commercial and social pressures that affect purchasing decisions. Why exactly do you want those expensive brand-name shoes so badly? “It takes confidence t o take a stand and to think differently,” says Jeroo Billimoria, founder of Aflatoun,a nonprofit whose curriculum, used in more than 30 countries, aims to helpkids get a leg up in their financial lives. “This goes beyond money and savings.” 26. The finan cial-literacy education is intended to________.A. increase Americans' awareness of the financial crisisB. renew Americans' enthusiasm about money-managementC. enable Americans to manage money wiselyD. help Americans to overcome the financial crisis 27. According to the author, the National Financial Capability Challenge will be_______.A. rewardingB. ineffectiveC. well-receivedD. costly 28. By saying thatA. has been regarded as imaginativeB. has received much criticismC. has gone through financial difficultiesD. has been more and more popular 29. Lewis Mandell suggests that weshould figure out how to ________.A. carry out financial-literacy education properlyB. manage money in a more efficient wayC. help students score better in money-management coursesD. improve the social awareness of financial education 30. JerooBillimoria is most likely to agree that commercial and social pressures make one's purchasing decisions________.A. difficultB. acceptableC. unwiseD. feasiblePassage ThreeThe American public's obsession with dieting has led to one of the most dangerous health misconceptions of all times. Many television ads, movies, magazine articles, and diet-food product labels would have consumers believe that carbohydrates (碳水化合物) are bad for the human body and that those who eat them will quickly become overweight. We are advised to avoid foods such as potatoes, rice and white bread and opt for meats and vegetables instead. Some companies promote this idea to encourage consumers to buy their“carb-free” food products. But the truth is, the human body needs carbohydrates tofunction properly, and a body that relies on carbohydrates but is exhausted of this dietary element is not in good shape after all.Most foods that we consume on a daily basis like potatoes and rice are loaded with carbohydrates. Contrary to popular belief, carbohydrates have many health benefits; some fight diseases such as high blood pressure and heart disease, and others help to prevent cancer and stroke. Cutting these foods out of your diet may deprive your body of the many health benefits of carbohydrates.One of the best benefits of carbohydrates is their ability to help to maintain the health of our organs, tissues, and cells. Scientific studies have shown that one type of carbohydrate called fiber reduces the risk of heart disease. Carbohydrates also containantioxidants (er.This does not mean that the human body can survive on a diet composed entirely of carbohydrates. We also need certain percentages of proteins and fats to maintain healthy bodies. But carbohydrates certainly should not be avoided altogether. In fact, the food pyramid, the recommended basis of a healthy diet, shows that a person should consume six to eleven servings of breads and grains, as well as three to four servings each of fruits andvegetables - all carbohydrate-containing foods. It is easy to see why cutting carbohydrates out of a person's diet is not a good idea.The only way to know what is truly healthy for your own body is to talk to a nutritionist or dietician, who can help you choose foods that are right for you as well as guide you toward a proper exercise program for weight loss, or muscle gain. These professionals will never tell you to cut out carbohydrates entirely! The bottom line: listen to the experts, not the advertisers!31. As is used in Paragraph l, the word “exhausted” most possiblymeans______A. starvingB. startledC. deprivedD. derived 抗氧化剂) , which protect the body's cells from harmful particles with the potential to cause canc32. According to the author, advertisers who sell “carb-free”products_______A. are not telling the truthB. value consumers' well-beingC. are responsible for obesityD. offer healthy options 33. Which of the following is NOT one of the health benefits of carbohydrates?A. Prevention of cancer.B. Prevention of stroke.C. Prevention of heart disease.D. Prevention of fiber reduction. 34. It can be inferred from the passage that a healthy diet .A. contains equal amounts of carbohydrates and proteinsB. is low in carbohydrates and high in proteins and fatsC. is balanced between carbohydrates, and proteins and fatsD. needs enough proteins but no fat for us to maintain energy 35. The main purpose of the passage is to .A. explain how to live a healthy lifeB. describe the variety of carbohydratesC. advocate a healthy dietD. promote more physical exercise Passage FourLast week, I read a story about a 34-year-old British woman who is extremely afraid of metal forks. She's been using plastic ones for 17 years because the sound of a fork rubbing against a plate gives her a panic attack.Strange, right? But she's not alone. While popular phobias(恐惧症) about snakes and spiders might get all of the attention, there are a wide variety of not-so-obvious horrors that make people nervous.While some phobias might seem a bit silly, they can cause seriousemotional distress. My co-worker Magda is terrified of pigeons, a phobia thatis taking over her life. She won't walk in certain parts of the city and runs screaming from the subway when one of these “rats with wings” finds its way onto the platform. Another friend is disgusted with cheese. Once I saw her run away from a slice of it. So where does an irrational fear of cheese come from?Are phobias something we inherit from our genes or do we acquire these unusual anxieties over time?Ever since I can remember I have been unreasonably frightened of elevators. There was no terrible childhood experience and I am fine with confined spaces, but something about elevators makes me nervous. And so, when my boyfriend andI found ourselves trapped in an elevator last year - because these sorts of things always happen eventually- I was anticipating the worst.While he gave me a suggestive eyebrow raise and proposed we “take advantage of the situation,”I began screaming uncontrollably. I was far from turned on by the whole facing my worst nightmare thing. However, after the fear subsided(消退)I realized that, yes, this was my greatest fear come true, and yet - it wasn't all that bad. Nervous and inconvenient maybe, but terrifying? Not so much. Liberating yourself from a deep-seated phobia can be a long and difficult process, but sometimes it can be as simple as confronting it head on. 36. The 34-year-old British woman is extremely afraid of metal forks becauseA. she is afraid that they may hurt herB. she couldn't bear their sound on plateC. she has been injured by them beforeD. she has never used them before37. The phrase “rats with wings” (Para. 3) refers to______A. exotic ratsB. devilsC. strange birdsD. pigeons 38. The author's fear of elevators is theresult of_______A. her terrible experienceB. her dislike of being in closed spacesC. her nervousness of being aloneD. her phobia for no reason 39. After the fear subsided, the authorrealized that______A. it was not as horrible as she had thoughtB. an elevator ride could be excitingC. she could have had a good time with her boyfriendD. her boyfriend's help was important 40. The purpose for the author to share her experience is to_______A. explain why people have strange fearsB. introduce what strange fears people haveC. encourage people to overcome their fearsD. illustrate conquering a fear can be difficult Section B Directions: In this section, you are required to read one quoted blog and the comments on it. The blog and comments are followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and markyour answer on the Answer Sheet. One of the central principles of raising kids in America is that parents should be actively involved in their children's education: meeting with teachers, volunteering at school, helping with homework, and doing a hundred other things that few working parents have time for. These obligations are so baked into American values that few parents stop to ask whether they‟re worth the effort.Until this January, few researchers did, either. In the largest-ever study of how parental involvement affects academic achievement, Keith Robinson and Angel L. Harris, two sociology professors at Duke, found that mostly it doesn‟t.The researchers combed through nearly three decades' worth of surveys of American parents and tracked 63 different measures of parental participationin kids' academic lives, from helping them with homework, to talking with them about college plans. In an attempt to show whether the kids of more-involved parents improved over time, the researchers indexed these measures tochildren's academic performance, including test scores in reading and math.What they found surprised them. Most measurable forms of parental involvement seem to yield few academic dividends for kids, or even tobackfire(反) -regardless of a parent's race, class, or level of education.Do you review your daughter's homework every night? Robinson and Harris's data show that this won‟t help her score higher on standardized tests. Once kids enter middle school, parental help with homework can actually bring test scores down, an effect Robinson says could be caused by the fact that many parents may have forgotten, or never truly understood, the material their children learn in school.While Robinson and Harris largely disproved that assumption, they did find a handful of habits that make a difference, such as reading aloud to young kids (fewer than half of whom are read to daily) and talking with teenagers about college plans. But these interventions don't take place at school or in the presence of teachers, where policymakers have the most influence - they take place at home. Comment 1:Basically the choice is whether one wants to let kids to be kids. Persistent parental involvement and constantly communicating to the kids on what the parents want consciously or unconsciously would help the kids grow up or think like the parents sooner than otherwise. Comment 2:It also depends on the kid. Emotional and social maturity have a lot to do with success in college and in life. Some kids may have the brains and are bored by high school, but that doesn't mean they are ready for college or the work place. Comment 3:The article doesn't clearly define “helping,” but I understood it as actually assisting children in the exercises (e.g. helping them to solve a math problem) and/or reviewing their work for accuracy rather than simply making sure they've completed their work. I think the latter is more helpful than the former. I would also certainly hope that no study would discour适得其age parents from monitoring their children's performance!41. The word“they” (Para. l) refers to .A. valuesB. obligationsC. studiesD. principles42. What is the main conclusion of the Robinson and Harris‟s study?A. Parental involvement works better with low-achievers.B. Schools should communicate with parents regularly.C. The kids of more-involved parents improve over time.D. Parental involvement may not necessarily benefit children. 43. Comment1 suggests that .A. parents may influence children's thinkingB. persistent parental involvement is a mustC. parents should leave their children aloneD. kids should be kids after all 44. The writer of Comment 2 would probably agree that .A. social maturity is sufficient to achieve success in lifeB. high school is often boring in the U.S.C. high intelligence does not guarantee successD. getting ready for college is an emotional process 45. Which of the following parental helps will the writer of Comment 3 consider proper?A. Assisting kids in their exercises.B. Making sure kids have finished their workC. Reviewing kids' homework for accuracy.D. Monitoring kids' class performance. Part IV Cloze (10 points) Directions: In this part, there is a passage with ten blanks. For each blank there are four choices marked, A, B, C, and D. Choose the best answer for each blank and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Ironically, a study finds that we‟re awful gift-givers precisely because we spend too much time trying to be considerate. We imagine our friends 46 a gift that is impressive, expensive, and sentimental. We imagine the look of happiness and surprise on their faces and the warmth we feel 47 . But there‟s something that the most sentimental-gift-givers tend not to think too much about: 48 the gift is practical in the first place.49 , practicality seems like an enemy of great gift giving. Beautiful jewelry, lovely watches, perfect rugs, finely crafted kitchen hardware: These things 50 great gifts because they communicate something beyond practicality. They communicate that the giver cares.But do the receivers care? Often, no. “Gift receivers would be 51 if givers gave them exactly what they requested 52 . attempting to be …thoughtful and considerate‟by buying gifts they did not explicitly request” to surprise them, the researchers write. Their clever paper asks givers and receivers to 53 gifts from two perspectives: desirability (e.g. the costof a coffee maker) and feasibility(e.g. the 54 of the coffee maker).

Passage OneCheating is nothing new, But today, educators and administrators are finding that instances of academic dishonesty on the part of students have become more frequent–and are less likely to be punished–than in thepast.Cheating appears to have gained acceptance among good and poor students alike.Why is student cheating on the rise? No one really knows .Some blame the trend on a general loosening of moral values among today's youth. Others have attributed increased cheating to the fact that today's youth are far more pragmatic(，实用主义，的)than their more idealistic predecessors. Whereas in thelate sixties and early seventiesstudents were filled with visions about changing the worldtoday‟s students feel great pressure to conform and succeed.In interviews with students at high schools and colleges around the country, both young men and women said that cheating had become easy. Some suggestedthey did it out of spite for teachers they did not respect. Others looked atit as a game. Only if they were caught, some said, would they feel guilty. “People are competitive,” said a second-year college student named Anna,from Chicago. There's an underlying fear. If you don't do well, your life is going to be ruined. The pressure is not only form parents and friends but from oneself. To achieve .To succeed. It‟s almost as though we have to outdo other people to achieve our own goals.Edward Wynne, a magazine editor, blames the rise in academic dishonesty on the schools. He claims that administrators and teachers have been too hesitantto take action. Dwight Huber, chairman of the English department at Amarillo. sees the matter differently, blaming the rise in cheating on the way students are evaluated. “I wouldcheat if I felt I was being cheated,” Mr. Huber said. He feels that as longas teachers gives short-answer tests rather than essay questions and rate students by the number of facts they can memorize rather than by how well they can put information together, students will try to beat the system. “The concept of cheating is based on the false assumption that the system is legitimate and there is something wrong with the individual who are doing it,” he said.“That's too easy an answer. We've got to start looking at the system.”21. Educators are finding that students who cheat_______.A. are more likely to be punished than beforeB. have poor academic recordsC. are not only those academically weakD. tend to be dishonest in later years 22. According to the passage, whichof the following statements is true?A. Students' cheating has deep social roots.B. Students do not cheat on essay tests.C. Reform in the testing system will eliminate cheating.D. Punishment is an effective method to stop cheating. 23. Which of the following points of view would Mr. Huber agree with?A. Punishment for cheaters should be severe in this country.B. Parents must take responsibility for the rise in cheating.C. Cheating would be reduced through an educational reform.D. Students who cheat should be expelled from school.24. The expression “the individuals” (the last paragraph) refers to________.A. parentsB. teachersC. school administratorsD. students who cheat 25. The passage mainly discusses_______.A. the decline of moral standards of today's youthB. people's tolerance of students' cheatingC. ways to eliminate academic dishonestyD. factors leading to academic dishonestyPassage TwoOf all the lessons taught by the financial crisis, the most personal has been that Americans aren‟t so good at money-management. We take out home loans we can'tafford. We run up sky-high credit-card debt. We don't save nearly enough for retirement. In response, supporters of financial-literacy education are moving with renewed enthusiasm. School districts in states such as New Jersey and Illinois are adding money-management courses to their curriculums. The Treasury and Education departments are sending lesson plans to high schools and encouraging students to compete in the National Financial Capability Challenge that begins in March.Students with top scores on that exam will receive certificates –but chances forlong-term benefits are slim. As it turns out, there is little evidencethat traditional efforts to boost financial know-how help students make better decisions outside the classroom. Even as the financial-literacy movement has gained steam over the past decade, scores have been falling on tests that measure how well students learn about things such as budgeting, credit cards, insurance and investments. A recent survey of college students conducted forthe JumpStart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy found that studentswho'd had a personal-finance or money-management course in high school scored no better than those who hadn't.“We need to figure out how to do this the right way,” says Lewis Mandell, a professor at the University of Washington who after 15 years of studying financial-literacy programs has come to the conclusion that current methodsdon't work. A growing number of researchers and educators agree that a more radical approach is needed. They advocate starting financial education a lot earlier than high school, putting real money and spending decisions into kids' hands and talking openly about the emotions and social influences tied to how we spend.Other initiatives are tacking such real-world issues as the commercial and social pressures that affect purchasing decisions. Why exactly do you want those expensive brand-name shoes so badly? “It takes confidence t o take a stand and to think differently,” says Jeroo Billimoria, founder of Aflatoun,a nonprofit whose curriculum, used in more than 30 countries, aims to helpkids get a leg up in their financial lives. “This goes beyond money and savings.” 26. The finan cial-literacy education is intended to________.A. increase Americans' awareness of the financial crisisB. renew Americans' enthusiasm about money-managementC. enable Americans to manage money wiselyD. help Americans to overcome the financial crisis 27. According to the author, the National Financial Capability Challenge will be_______.A. rewardingB. ineffectiveC. well-receivedD. costly 28. By saying thatA. has been regarded as imaginativeB. has received much criticismC. has gone through financial difficultiesD. has been more and more popular 29. Lewis Mandell suggests that weshould figure out how to ________.A. carry out financial-literacy education properlyB. manage money in a more efficient wayC. help students score better in money-management coursesD. improve the social awareness of financial education 30. JerooBillimoria is most likely to agree that commercial and social pressures make one's purchasing decisions________.A. difficultB. acceptableC. unwiseD. feasiblePassage ThreeThe American public's obsession with dieting has led to one of the most dangerous health misconceptions of all times. Many television ads, movies, magazine articles, and diet-food product labels would have consumers believe that carbohydrates (碳水化合物) are bad for the human body and that those who eat them will quickly become overweight. We are advised to avoid foods such as potatoes, rice and white bread and opt for meats and vegetables instead. Some companies promote this idea to encourage consumers to buy their“carb-free” food products. But the truth is, the human body needs carbohydrates tofunction properly, and a body that relies on carbohydrates but is exhausted of this dietary element is not in good shape after all.Most foods that we consume on a daily basis like potatoes and rice are loaded with carbohydrates. Contrary to popular belief, carbohydrates have many health benefits; some fight diseases such as high blood pressure and heart disease, and others help to prevent cancer and stroke. Cutting these foods out of your diet may deprive your body of the many health benefits of carbohydrates.One of the best benefits of carbohydrates is their ability to help to maintain the health of our organs, tissues, and cells. Scientific studies have shown that one type of carbohydrate called fiber reduces the risk of heart disease. Carbohydrates also containantioxidants (er.This does not mean that the human body can survive on a diet composed entirely of carbohydrates. We also need certain percentages of proteins and fats to maintain healthy bodies. But carbohydrates certainly should not be avoided altogether. In fact, the food pyramid, the recommended basis of a healthy diet, shows that a person should consume six to eleven servings of breads and grains, as well as three to four servings each of fruits andvegetables - all carbohydrate-containing foods. It is easy to see why cutting carbohydrates out of a person's diet is not a good idea.The only way to know what is truly healthy for your own body is to talk to a nutritionist or dietician, who can help you choose foods that are right for you as well as guide you toward a proper exercise program for weight loss, or muscle gain. These professionals will never tell you to cut out carbohydrates entirely! The bottom line: listen to the experts, not the advertisers!31. As is used in Paragraph l, the word “exhausted” most possiblymeans______A. starvingB. startledC. deprivedD. derived 抗氧化剂) , which protect the body's cells from harmful particles with the potential to cause canc32. According to the author, advertisers who sell “carb-free”products_______A. are not telling the truthB. value consumers' well-beingC. are responsible for obesityD. offer healthy options 33. Which of the following is NOT one of the health benefits of carbohydrates?A. Prevention of cancer.B. Prevention of stroke.C. Prevention of heart disease.D. Prevention of fiber reduction. 34. It can be inferred from the passage that a healthy diet .A. contains equal amounts of carbohydrates and proteinsB. is low in carbohydrates and high in proteins and fatsC. is balanced between carbohydrates, and proteins and fatsD. needs enough proteins but no fat for us to maintain energy 35. The main purpose of the passage is to .A. explain how to live a healthy lifeB. describe the variety of carbohydratesC. advocate a healthy dietD. promote more physical exercise Passage FourLast week, I read a story about a 34-year-old British woman who is extremely afraid of metal forks. She's been using plastic ones for 17 years because the sound of a fork rubbing against a plate gives her a panic attack.Strange, right? But she's not alone. While popular phobias(恐惧症) about snakes and spiders might get all of the attention, there are a wide variety of not-so-obvious horrors that make people nervous.While some phobias might seem a bit silly, they can cause seriousemotional distress. My co-worker Magda is terrified of pigeons, a phobia thatis taking over her life. She won't walk in certain parts of the city and runs screaming from the subway when one of these “rats with wings” finds its way onto the platform. Another friend is disgusted with cheese. Once I saw her run away from a slice of it. So where does an irrational fear of cheese come from?Are phobias something we inherit from our genes or do we acquire these unusual anxieties over time?Ever since I can remember I have been unreasonably frightened of elevators. There was no terrible childhood experience and I am fine with confined spaces, but something about elevators makes me nervous. And so, when my boyfriend andI found ourselves trapped in an elevator last year - because these sorts of things always happen eventually- I was anticipating the worst.While he gave me a suggestive eyebrow raise and proposed we “take advantage of the situation,”I began screaming uncontrollably. I was far from turned on by the whole facing my worst nightmare thing. However, after the fear subsided(消退)I realized that, yes, this was my greatest fear come true, and yet - it wasn't all that bad. Nervous and inconvenient maybe, but terrifying? Not so much. Liberating yourself from a deep-seated phobia can be a long and difficult process, but sometimes it can be as simple as confronting it head on. 36. The 34-year-old British woman is extremely afraid of metal forks becauseA. she is afraid that they may hurt herB. she couldn't bear their sound on plateC. she has been injured by them beforeD. she has never used them before37. The phrase “rats with wings” (Para. 3) refers to______A. exotic ratsB. devilsC. strange birdsD. pigeons 38. The author's fear of elevators is theresult of_______A. her terrible experienceB. her dislike of being in closed spacesC. her nervousness of being aloneD. her phobia for no reason 39. After the fear subsided, the authorrealized that______A. it was not as horrible as she had thoughtB. an elevator ride could be excitingC. she could have had a good time with her boyfriendD. her boyfriend's help was important 40. The purpose for the author to share her experience is to_______A. explain why people have strange fearsB. introduce what strange fears people haveC. encourage people to overcome their fearsD. illustrate conquering a fear can be difficult Section B Directions: In this section, you are required to read one quoted blog and the comments on it. The blog and comments are followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and markyour answer on the Answer Sheet. One of the central principles of raising kids in America is that parents should be actively involved in their children's education: meeting with teachers, volunteering at school, helping with homework, and doing a hundred other things that few working parents have time for. These obligations are so baked into American values that few parents stop to ask whether they‟re worth the effort.Until this January, few researchers did, either. In the largest-ever study of how parental involvement affects academic achievement, Keith Robinson and Angel L. Harris, two sociology professors at Duke, found that mostly it doesn‟t.The researchers combed through nearly three decades' worth of surveys of American parents and tracked 63 different measures of parental participationin kids' academic lives, from helping them with homework, to talking with them about college plans. In an attempt to show whether the kids of more-involved parents improved over time, the researchers indexed these measures tochildren's academic performance, including test scores in reading and math.What they found surprised them. Most measurable forms of parental involvement seem to yield few academic dividends for kids, or even tobackfire(反) -regardless of a parent's race, class, or level of education.Do you review your daughter's homework every night? Robinson and Harris's data show that this won‟t help her score higher on standardized tests. Once kids enter middle school, parental help with homework can actually bring test scores down, an effect Robinson says could be caused by the fact that many parents may have forgotten, or never truly understood, the material their children learn in school.While Robinson and Harris largely disproved that assumption, they did find a handful of habits that make a difference, such as reading aloud to young kids (fewer than half of whom are read to daily) and talking with teenagers about college plans. But these interventions don't take place at school or in the presence of teachers, where policymakers have the most influence - they take place at home. Comment 1:Basically the choice is whether one wants to let kids to be kids. Persistent parental involvement and constantly communicating to the kids on what the parents want consciously or unconsciously would help the kids grow up or think like the parents sooner than otherwise. Comment 2:It also depends on the kid. Emotional and social maturity have a lot to do with success in college and in life. Some kids may have the brains and are bored by high school, but that doesn't mean they are ready for college or the work place. Comment 3:The article doesn't clearly define “helping,” but I understood it as actually assisting children in the exercises (e.g. helping them to solve a math problem) and/or reviewing their work for accuracy rather than simply making sure they've completed their work. I think the latter is more helpful than the former. I would also certainly hope that no study would discour适得其age parents from monitoring their children's performance!41. The word“they” (Para. l) refers to .A. valuesB. obligationsC. studiesD. principles42. What is the main conclusion of the Robinson and Harris‟s study?A. Parental involvement works better with low-achievers.B. Schools should communicate with parents regularly.C. The kids of more-involved parents improve over time.D. Parental involvement may not necessarily benefit children. 43. Comment1 suggests that .A. parents may influence children's thinkingB. persistent parental involvement is a mustC. parents should leave their children aloneD. kids should be kids after all 44. The writer of Comment 2 would probably agree that .A. social maturity is sufficient to achieve success in lifeB. high school is often boring in the U.S.C. high intelligence does not guarantee successD. getting ready for college is an emotional process 45. Which of the following parental helps will the writer of Comment 3 consider proper?A. Assisting kids in their exercises.B. Making sure kids have finished their workC. Reviewing kids' homework for accuracy.D. Monitoring kids' class performance. Part IV Cloze (10 points) Directions: In this part, there is a passage with ten blanks. For each blank there are four choices marked, A, B, C, and D. Choose the best answer for each blank and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Ironically, a study finds that we‟re awful gift-givers precisely because we spend too much time trying to be considerate. We imagine our friends 46 a gift that is impressive, expensive, and sentimental. We imagine the look of happiness and surprise on their faces and the warmth we feel 47 . But there‟s something that the most sentimental-gift-givers tend not to think too much about: 48 the gift is practical in the first place.49 , practicality seems like an enemy of great gift giving. Beautiful jewelry, lovely watches, perfect rugs, finely crafted kitchen hardware: These things 50 great gifts because they communicate something beyond practicality. They communicate that the giver cares.But do the receivers care? Often, no. “Gift receivers would be 51 if givers gave them exactly what they requested 52 . attempting to be …thoughtful and considerate‟by buying gifts they did not explicitly request” to surprise them, the researchers write. Their clever paper asks givers and receivers to 53 gifts from two perspectives: desirability (e.g. the costof a coffee maker) and feasibility(e.g. the 54 of the coffee maker).

Yet this understanding is outdated."There has been a kind of revival or a rethinking about what guilt is and what role guilt can serve,"says Amrisha Vaish,a psychology researcher at the University of Virginia,adding that this revival is part of a larger recognition that emotions aren't binary—feelings that may be advantageous in one context may be harmful in another.Jealousy and anger,for example,may have evolved to alert us to important inequalities.Too much happiness can be destructive.And guilt,by prompting us to think more deeply about our goodness,can encourage humans to make up for errors and fix relationships.Guilt,in other words,can help hold a cooperative species together.It is a kind of social glue.Viewed in this light,guilt is an opportunity.Work by Tina Malti,a psychology professor at the University of Toronto,suggests that guilt may compensate for an emotional deficiency.In a number of studies,Malti and others have shown that guilt and sympathy may represent different pathways to cooperation and sharing.Some kids who are low in sympathy may make up for that shortfall by experiencing more guilt,which can rein in their nastier impulses.And vice versa:High sympathy can substitute for low guilt.In a2014study,for example,Malti looked ing caregiver assessments and the children's self-observations,she rated each child's overall sympathy level and his or her tendency to feel negative emotions after moral transgressions.Then the kids were handed chocolate coins,and given a chance to share them with an anonymous child.For the low-sympathy kids,how much they shared appeared to turn on how inclined they were to feel guilty.The guilt-prone ones shared more,even though they hadn't magically become more sympathetic to the other child's deprivation."That's good news,"Malti says."We can be prosocial because we caused harm and we feel regret."21. Researchers think that guilt can be a good thing because it may help____A. regulate a child's basic emotions.B. foster a child's moral development.C. improve a child's intellectual ability.D. intensify a child's positive feelings.22. According to Paragraph2,many people still consider guilt to be____A. burdensome.B. deceptive.C. addictive.D. inexcusable.23. Vaish holds that the rethinking about guilt comes from an awareness that____A. emotions are context-independent.B. emotions are socially constructive.C. an emotion can play opposing roles.D. emotional stability can benefit health.24. Malti and others have shown that cooperation and sharing____A. can result from either sympathy or guilt.B. may help correct emotional deficiencies.C. can bring about emotional satisfaction.D. may be the outcome of impulsive acts.25. The word"transgressions"(Paragraph5)is closest in meaning to____A. teachings.B. discussions.C. wrongdoings.D. restrictions.Text2Forests give us shade,quiet and one of the harder challenges in the fight against climate change.Even as we humans count on forests to soak up a good share of the carbon dioxide we produce,we are threatening their ability to do so.The climate change we are hastening could one day leave us with forests that emit more carbon than they absorb.Thankfully,there is a way out of this trap—but it involves striking a subtle balance. Helping forests flourish as valuable"carbon sinks"long into the future may require reducing their capacity to absorb carbon now.California is leading the way,as it does on so many climate efforts,in figuring out the details.The state's proposed Forest Carbon Plan aims to double efforts to thin out young trees and clear brush in parts of the forest.This temporarily lowers carbon-carrying capacity. But the remaining trees draw a greater share of the available moisture,so they grow and thrive,restoring the forest's capacity to pull carbon from the air.Healthy trees are also better able to fend off insects.The landscape is rendered less easily burnable.Even in the event of a fire,fewer trees are consumed.The need for such planning is increasingly urgent.Already,since2010,drought and insects have killed over100million trees in California,most of them in2016alone,and wildfires have burned hundreds of thousands of acres.California plans to treat35,000acres of forest a year by2020,and60,000by2030—financed from the proceeds of the state's emissions-permit auctions.That's only a small share of the total acreage that could benefit,about half a million acres in all,so it will be vital to prioritize areas at greatest risk of fire or drought.The strategy also aims to ensure that carbon in woody material removed from the forests is locked away in the form of solid lumber or burned as biofuel in vehicles that would otherwise run on fossil fuels.New research on transportation biofuels is already under way.State governments are well accustomed to managing forests,but traditionally they've focused on wildlife,watersheds and opportunities for recreation.Only recently have they come to see the vital part forests will have to play in storing carbon.California's plan, which is expected to be finalized by the governor next year,should serve as a model.26. By saying"one of the harder challenges,"the author implies that____A. global climate change may get out of control.B. people may misunderstand global warming.C. forests may become a potential threat.D. extreme weather conditions may arise.27. To maintain forests as valuable"carbon sinks,"we may need to____A. preserve the diversity of species in them.B. accelerate the growth of young trees.C. lower their present carbon-absorbing capacity.D. strike a balance among different plants.28. California's Forest Carbon Plan endeavors to____A. reduce the density of some of its forests.B. cultivate more drought-resistant trees.C. find more effective ways to kill insects.D. restore its forests quickly after wildfires.29. What is essential to California's plan according to Paragraph5?A. To obtain enough financial support.B. To carry it out before the year of2020.C. To perfect the emissions-permit auctions.D. To handle the areas in serious danger first.30. The author's attitude to California's plan can best be described as____A. ambiguous.B. supportive.C. tolerant.D. cautious.Text3American farmers have been complaining of labor shortages for several years.The complaints are unlikely to stop without an overhaul of immigration rules for farm workers.Congress has obstructed efforts to create a more straightforward visa for agricultural workers that would let foreign workers stay longer in the U.S.and change jobs within the industry.If this doesn't change,American businesses,communities,and consumers will be the losers.Perhaps half of U.S.farm laborers are undocumented immigrants.As fewer such workers enter the country,the characteristics of the agricultural workforce are changing. Today's farm laborers,while still predominantly born in Mexico,are more likely to be settled rather than migrating and more likely to be married than single.They're also aging. At the start of this century,about one-third of crop workers were over the age of35.Now, more than half are.And picking crops is hard on older bodies.One oft-debated cure for this labor shortage remains as implausible as it's been all along:Native U.S.workers won't be returning to the farm.Mechanization isn't the answer,either—not yet,at least.Production of corn,cotton, rice,soybeans,and wheat has been largely mechanized,but many high-value,labor-intensive crops,such as strawberries,need labor.Even dairy farms,where robots do a small share of milking,have a long way to go before they're automated.As a result,farms have grown increasingly reliant on temporary guest workers using the H-2A visa to fill the gaps in the agricultural workforce.Starting around2012,requests for the visas rose sharply;from2011to2016the number of visas issued more than doubled.The H-2A visa has no numerical cap,unlike the H-2B visa for nonagricultural work, which is limited to66,000a year.Even so,employers complain they aren't given all the workers they need.The process is cumbersome,expensive and unreliable.One survey found that bureaucratic delays led the average H-2A worker to arrive on the job22days late.The shortage is compounded by federal immigration raids,which remove some workers and drive others underground.In a2012survey,71percent of tree-fruit growers and nearly80percent of raisin and berry growers said they were short of labor.Some western farmers have responded bymoving operations to Mexico.From1998to2000,14.5percent of the fruit Americans consumed was imported.Little more than a decade later,the share of imports was25.8 percent.In effect,the U.S.can import food or it can import the workers who pick it.31. What problem should be addressed according to the first two paragraphs?A. Flaws in U.S.immigration rules for farm workers.B. Discrimination against foreign workers in the U.S.C. Biased laws in favor of some American businesses.D. Decline of job opportunities in U.S.agriculture.32. One trouble with U.S.agricultural workforce is____A. the rising number of illegal immigrants.B. the aging of immigrant farm workers.C. the high mobility of crop workers.D. the lack of experienced laborers.33. What is the much-argued solution to the labor shortage in U.S.farming?A. To strengthen financial support for farmers.B. To attract younger laborers to farm work.C. To use more robots to grow high-value crops.D. To get native U.S.workers back to farming.34. Agricultural employers complain about the H-2A visa for its____A. control of annual admissions.B. limit on duration of stay.C. slow granting procedures.D. tightened requirements.35. Which of the following could be the best title for this text?A. Manpower vs.Automation?B. U.S.Agriculture in Decline?C. America Saved by Mexico?D. Import Food or Labor?Text4Arnold Schwarzenegger,Dia Mirza and Adrian Grenier have a message for you:It's easy to beat plastic.They're part of a bunch of celebrities starring in a new video for World Environment Day—encouraging you,the consumer,to swap out your single-use plastic staples to combat the plastics crisis.The key messages that have been put together for World Environment Day do include a call for governments to enact legislation to curb single-use plastics.But the overarching message is directed at individuals.My concern with leaving it up to the individual,however,is our limited sense of what needs to be achieved.On their own,taking our own bags to the grocery store or quitting plastic straws,for example,will accomplish little and require very little of us.They could even be harmful,satisfying a need to have"done our bit"without ever progressing onto bigger,bolder,more effective actions—a kind of"moral licensing"that eases our concerns and stops us doing more and asking more of those in charge.While the conversation around our environment and our responsibility toward it remains centered on shopping bags and straws,we're ignoring the balance of power that implies that as"consumers"we must shop sustainably,rather than as"citizens"hold our governments and industries to account to push for real systemic change.It's important to acknowledge that the environment isn't everyone's priority—or even most people's.We shouldn't expect it to be.In her latest book,Why Good People Do Bad Environmental Things,Elizabeth R.DeSombre argues that the best way to collectively change the behavior of large numbers of people is for the change to be structural.This might mean implementing policy such as a plastic tax that adds a cost to environmentally problematic action,or banning single-use plastics altogether.India has just announced it will"eliminate all single-use plastic in the country by2022."There are also incentive-based ways of making better environmental choices easier,such as ensuring recycling is at least as easy as trash disposal.DeSombre isn't saying people should stop caring about the environment.It's just that individual actions are too slow,she says,for that to be the only,or even primary,approachto changing widespread behavior.None of this is about writing off the individual.It's just about putting things into perspective.We don't have time to wait.We need progressive policies that shape collective action,alongside engaged citizens pushing for change.36. Some celebrities star in a new video to____A. disclose the causes of the plastics crisis.B. demand new laws on the use of plastics.C. invite public opinion on the plastics crisis.D. urge consumers to cut the use of plastics.37. The author is concerned that"moral licensing"may____A. suppress our desire for success.B. mislead us into doing worthless things.C. weaken our sense of accomplishment.D. prevent us from making further efforts.38. By pointing out our identity as"citizens,"the author indicates that____A. we have been actively exercising our civil rights.B. we should press our governments to lead the combat.C. our relationship with local industries is improving.D. our focus should be shifted to community welfare.39. DeSombre argues that the best way for a collective change should be____A. a win-win arrangement.B. a top-down process.C. a self-driven mechanism.D. a cost-effective approach.40. The author concludes that individual efforts____A. are far from sufficient.B. are far from rational.C. can be too inconsistent.D. can be too aggressive.Part BDirections:Read the following text and match each of the numbered items in the left column to its corresponding information in the right column.There are two extra choices in the right column.Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET.(10points)How seriously should parents take kids'opinions when searching for a home?In choosing a new home,Camille McClain's kids had a single demand:a backyard.McClain's little ones aren't the only kids who have an opinion when it comes to housing,and in many cases youngsters'views weigh heavily on parents'real estate decisions,according to a2018Harris Poll survey of more than2,000U.S.adults.While more families buck an older-generation proclivity to leave kids in the dark about real estate decisions,realty agents and psychologists have mixed views about the financial,personal and long-term effects kids'opinions may have.The idea of involving children in a big decision is a great idea because it can help them feel a sense of control and ownership in what can be an overwhelming process,said Ryan Hooper,clinical psychologist in Chicago."Children may face serious difficulties in coping with significant moves,especially if it removes them from their current school or support system,"he said.Greg Jaroszewski,a real estate broker with Gagliardo Realty Associates,said he's not convinced that kids should be involved in selecting a home—but their opinions should be considered in regards to proximity to friends and social activities,if possible.Younger children should feel like they're choosing their home—without actually getting a choice in the matter,said Adam Bailey,real estate attorney based in New York.Asking them questions about what they like about the backyard of a potential home will make them feel like they're being included in the decision-making process,Bailey said.Many of the aspects of homebuying aren't a consideration for children,said Tracey Hampson,a real estate agent based in Santa Clarita,Calif.And placing too much emphasis on their opinions can ruin a fantastic home purchase."Speaking with your children before you make a real estate decision is wise,but Iwouldn't base the purchasing decision solely on their opinions,"Hampson said.The other issue is that many children—especially older ones—may base their real estate knowledge on HGTV shows,said Aaron Norris of The Norris Group in Riverside, Calif."They love Chip and Joanna Gaines just as much as the rest of us,"he said."HGTV has seriously changed how people view real estate.It's not shelter,it's a lifestyle.With that mindset change come some serious money consequences."Kids tend to get stuck in the features and the immediate benefits to them personally, Norris said.Parents need to remind their children that their needs and desires may change over time,said Julie Gurner,a real estate analyst with ."Their opinions can change tomorrow,"Gurner said."Harsh as it may be to say,that decision should likely not be made contingent on a child's opinions,but rather made for them with great consideration into what home can meet their needs best—and give them an opportunity to customize it a bit and make it their own."This advice is more relevant now than ever before,even as more parents want to embrace the ideas of their children,despite the current housing crunch.Section III Translation46.

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (40 points)Text 1Text 2Over the past decade, thousands of patents have seen granted for what are called business methods. Amazon received one for its “one-click” online payment system. Merrill Lynch got legal protection for an asset allocation strategy. One inventor patented a technique for lifting a box.Now the nation’s top patent court appears completely ready to scale back on business-method patents, which have been controversial ever since they were first authorized 10 years ago. In a move that has intellectual-property lawyers abuzz the U.S. court of Appeals for the federal circuit said it would use a particular case to conduct a broad review of business-method patents. In re Bilski , as the case is known , is “a very big deal”, says Dennis’D. Crouch of the University of Missouri School of law. It “has the potential to eliminate an entire class of patents.”Curbs on business-method claims would be a dramatic about-face, because it was the federal circuit itself that introduced such patents with is 2019 decision in the so-called state Street Bank case, approving a patent on a way of pooling mutual-fund assets. That ruling produced an explosion in business-method patent filings, initially by emerging internet companies trying to stake out exclusive pinhts to specific types of online transactions. Later, move established companies raced to add such patents to their files, if only as a defensive move against rivals that might bent them to the punch. In 2019, IBM noted in a court filing that it had been issued more than 300 business-method patents despite the fact that it questioned the legal basis for granting them. Similarly, some Wall Street investment films armed themselves with patents for financial products, even as they took positions in court cases opposing the practice.The Bilski case involves a claimed patent on a method for hedging risk in the energy market. The Federal circuit issued an unusual order stating that the case would be heard by all 12 of the court’s judges, rather than a typical panel of three, and that one issue it wants to evaluate is weather it should” reconsider” its state street Bank ruling.The Federal Circuit’s action comes in the wake of a series of recent decisions by the supreme Count that has nurrowed the scope of protections for patent holders. Last April, for example the justices signaled that too many patents were being upheld for “inventions” that are obvious. The judges on the Federal circuit are “reacting to the anti-patient trend at the supreme court” ,says Harole C.wegner, a partend attorney and professor at aeorge Washington University Law School.26. Business-method patents have recently aroused concern because of[A] their limited value to business[B] their connection with asset allocation[C] the possible restriction on their granting[D] the controversy over authorization27. Which of the following is true of the Bilski case?[A] Its rulling complies with the court decisions[B] It involves a very big business transaction[C] It has been dismissed by the Federal Circuit[D] It may change the legal practices in the U.S.28. The word “about-face” (Line 1, Paro 3) most probably means[A] loss of good will[B] increase of hostility[C] change of attitude[D] enhancement of disnity29. We learn from the last two paragraphs that business-method patents[A] are immune to legal challenges[B] are often unnecessarily issued[C] lower the esteem for patent holders[D] increase the incidence of risks30. Which of the following would be the subject of the text?[A] A looming threat to business-method patents[B] Protection for business-method patent holders[C] A legal case regarding business-method patents[D] A prevailing trend against business-method patentsText 3In his book The Tipping Point,Malcolm Aladuell argues that social epidemics are driven in large part by the acting of a tiny minority of special individuals,often called influentials,who are unusually informed,persuasive,or well-connected.The idea is intuitively compelling,but it doesn’t explain how ideas actually spread. The supposed importance of influentials derives from a plausible sounding but largely untested theory called the “two step flow of communication”: Information flows from the media to the influentials and from them to ereryone else.Marketers have embraced the two-step flow because it suggests that if they can just find and influence the influentials,those selected people will do most of the work for them. The theory also seems to explain the sudden and unexpected popularity of people was wearing, promoting or developing whaterver it is before anyone else paid attention. Anecdotal evidence of this kind fits nicely with the idea that only certain special people can drive trends.In their recent work,however,some researchers have come up with the finding that influentials have far less impact on social epidemics than is generally supposed.In fact,they don’t seem to be required of all.The researchers’ argument stems from a simple obserrating about social influence,with the exception of a few celebrities like Oprah Winfrey —whose outsize presence is primarily a function of media,not interpersonal,influence — even the most influential members of a population simply don’t inte ract with that many others.Yet it is precisely these non-celebring influentials who,according to thetwo-step-flow theory,are supposed to drive social epidemics by influcencing their friends and colleagues directly.For a social epidemic to occur,however,each person so affected,must then influcence his or her own acquaintances,who must in turn influence theirs,and so on;and just how many others pay attention to each of these people has little to do with the initial influential.If people in the network just two degrees removed from the initial influential prove resistant,for example from the initial influential prove resistant,for example the casecade of change won’t propagate very far or affect many people.Building on the basic truth about interpersonal influence,the researchers studied the dynamics of populations manipulating a number of variables relating of populations,manipulating a number of variables relating to people’s ability to influence others and their tendence to be.31.By citing the book The Tipping Point,the author intends to[A]analyze the consequences of social epidemics[B]discuss influentials’ function in spreading ideas[C]exemplify people’s intuitive response to social epidemics[D]describe the essential characteristics of influentials.32.The author suggests that the “two-step-flow theory”[A]serves as a solution to marketing problems[B]has helped explain certain prevalent trends[C]has won support from influentials[D]requires solid evidence for its validity33.what the resarchers have observed recenty shows that[A] the power of influence goes with social interactions[B] interpersonal links can be enhanced through the media[C] influentials have more channels to reach the public[D] most celebrities enjoy wide media attention34.The underlined phrase “these people” in paragraph 4 refers to the ones who[A] stay outside the network of social influnce[B] have little contact with the source of influnence[C] are influenced and then influence others[D] are influenced by the initial influential35.what is the essential element in the dynamics of social influence?[A]The eagerness to be accepted[B]The impulse to influence others[C]The readiness to be influenced[D]The inclination to rely on othersText 4Bankers have been blaming themselves for their troubles in public. Behind the scenes, they have been taking aim at someone else: the accounting standard-setters. Their rules, moan the banks, have forced them to report enormous losses, and it’s just not fair. These rules say they must value some assets at the price a third party would pay, not the price managers and regulators would like them to fetch. Unfortunately, banks’ lobbying now seems to be working. The details may be unknowable, but the independence of standard-setters, essential to the proper functioning of capital markets, is being compromised. And, unless banks carry toxic assets at prices that attract buyers, reviving the banking system will be difficult. After a bruising encounter with Congress, Ameri ca’s Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) rushed through rule changes. These gave banks more freedom to use models to value illiquid assets and more flexibility in recognizing losses on long-term assets in their income statement. Bob Herz, the FASB’s chairman, cried out against those who “question our motives.” Yet bank shares rose and the changes enhance what one lobby group politely calls “the use of judgment by management.” European ministers instantly demanded that the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) do likewise. The IASB says it does not want to act without overall planning, but the pressure to fold when it completes it reconstruction of rules later this year is strong. Charlie McCreevy, a European commissioner, warned the IASB that it did “not live in a political vacuum” but “in the real word” and that Europe could yet develop different rules.It was banks that were on the wrong planet, with accounts that vastly overvalued assets. Today they argue that market prices overstate losses, because they largely reflect the temporary illiquidity of markets, not the likely extent of bad debts. The truth will not be known for years. But bank’s shares trade below their book value, suggesting that investors are skeptical. And dead markets partly reflect the paralysis of banks which will not sell assets for fear of booking losses, yet are reluctant to buy all those supposed bargains.To get the system working again, losses must be recognized and dealt with. America’s new plan to buy up toxic assets will not work unless banks mark assets to levels which buyers find attractive. Successful markets require independent and evencombative standard-setters. The FASB and IASB have been exactly that, cleaning up rules on stock options and pensions, for example, against hostility form special interests. But by giving in to critics now they are inviting pressure to make more concessions.36. Bankers complained that they were forced to[A] follow unfavorable asset evaluation rules[B]collect payments from third parties[C]cooperate with the price managers[D]reevaluate some of their assets.37.According to the author , the rule changes of the FASB may result in[A]the diminishing role of management[B]the revival of the banking system[C]the banks’ long-term asset losses[D]the weakening of its independence38.According to Paragraph 4, McCreevy objects to the IASB’s attempt to[A]keep away from political influences.[B]evade the pressure from their peers.[C]act on their own in rule-setting.[D]take gradual measures in reform.39.The author thinks the banks were “on the wrong planet ”in that they[A]misinterpreted market price indicators[B]exaggerated the real value of their assets[C]neglected the likely existence of bad debts.[D]denied booking losses in their sale of assets.40.The author’s attitude towards standard-setters is one of[A]satisfaction.[B]skepticism.[C]objectiveness[D]sympathyPart BDirections:For Questions 41-45, choose the most suitable paragraphs from the first A-G and fill them into the numbered boxes to from a coherent text. Paragraph E has been correctly placed. There is one paragraph which dose not fit in with the text. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET1. (10 points)[A]The first and more important is t he consumer’s growing preference for eatingout;the consumption of food and drink in places other than homes has risen from about 32 percent of total consumption in 1995 to 35 percent in 2000 and is expected to approach 38 percent by 2019. This development is boosting wholesale demand from the food service segment by 4 to 5 percent a year across Europe,compared with growth in retail demand of 1 to 2 percent. Meanwhile,as the recession is looming large, people are getting anxious. They tend to keep a tighter hold on their purse and consider eating at home a realistic alternative.[B]Retail sales of food and drink in Europe’s largest markets are at a standstill, leaving European grocery retailers hungry for opportunities to grow. Most leading retailers have already tried e-commerce, with limited success, and expansion abroad. But almost all have ignored the big, profitable opportunity in their own backyard: the wholesale food and drink trade, which appears to be just the kind of market retailers need.[C]Will such variations bring about a change in the overall structure of the food and drink market? Definitely not. The functioning of the market is based on flexible trends dominated by potential buyers.In other words,it is up to the buyer,tather than the seller,to decide what to buy .At any rate,this change will ultimately be acclaimed by an ever-growing number of both domestic and international consumers,regardless of how long the current consummer pattern will take hold.[D]All in all, this clearly seems to be a market in which big retailers that master the intricacies of wholesaling in Europe may well expect to rake in substantial profits there by. At least, that is how it looks as a whole. Closer inspection reveals import differences among the biggest national markets, especially in their customer segments and wholesale structures, as well as the competitive dynamics of individual food and drink categories. Big retailers must understand these differences before they can identify the segments of European whloesaling in which particular abilities might unseat smaller but entrenched competitors. New skills and unfamiliar business models are needed too.[E]Despite variations in detail, wholesale markets in the countries that have been closely examined—France, Germany, Italy, and Spain—are made out of same building blocks. Demand comes mainly from two sources: independent morn-and-pop grocery stores which, unlike large retail chains, are two small to buy straight from producers, and food service operators range from snack machines to large institutional catering ventures, but most of these businesses are known in the trade as “horeca”: hotels, restaurants, and cafes. Overall, Europe’s retail wholesale market, but the figures, when added together, mask two opposing trends.[F]For example, wholesale food and drink sales come to ＄ 268 billion in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom in 2000- more than 40 percent of retail sales. Moreover, average overall margins are higher in wholesale than in retail; wholesale demand from the food service sector is growing quickly as more Europeans eat out more often; and changes in the competitive dynamics of this fragmented industry are at last making it feasible for wholesalers to consolidate.[G]However, none of these requirements should deter large retails and even some large good producers and existing wholesalers from trying their hand, for those that master the intricacies of wholesaling in Europe stand to reap considerable gains.41 → 42 → 43 → 44 → E → 45Part CDirections:Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese.

Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET.（40 points）Text 1Unlike so-called basic emotions such as sadness, fear, and anger, guilt emerges a little later, in conjunction with a child’s growing grasp of social and moral norms. Children aren’t born knowing how to say “I’m sorry”; rather, they learn over time that such statements appease parents and friends—and their own consciences. This is why researchers generally regard so-called moral guilt, in the right amount, to be a good thing.In the popular imagination, of course, guilt still gets a bad rap. It is deeply uncomfortable—it’s the emotional equivalent of wearing a jacket weighted with stones. Yet t his understanding is outdated. “There has been a kind of revival or a rethinking about what guilt is and what role guilt can serve,” says Amrisha Vaish, a psychology researcher at the University of Virginia, adding that this revival is part of a larger rec ognition that emotions aren’t binary—feelings that may be advantageous in one context may be harmful in another. Jealousy and anger, for example, may have evolved to alert us to important inequalities. Too much happiness can be destructive.And guilt, by prompting us to think more deeply about our goodness, can encourage humans to make up for errors and fix relationships. Guilt, in other words, can help hold a cooperative species together. It is a kind of social glue.Viewed in this light, guilt is an opportunity. Work by Tina Malti, a psychology professor at the University of Toronto, suggests that guilt may compensate for anemotional deficiency. In a number of studies, Malti and others have shown that guilt and sympathy may represent different pathways to cooperation and sharing. Some kids who are low in sympathy may make up for that shortfall by experiencing more guilt, which can rein in their nastier impulses. And vice versa: High sympathy can substitute for low guilt.In a 2014 study, for example, Malti looked at 244 children. Using caregiver assessments and the children’s self-observations, she rated each child’s overall sympathy level and his or her tendency to feel negative emotions after moral transgressions. Then the kids were handed chocolate coins, and given a chance to share them with an anonymous child. For the low-sympathy kids, how much they shared appeared to turn on how inclined they were to feel guilty. The guilt-prone ones shared more, even though they hadn’t magically become more sympathet ic to the other child’s deprivation.“That’s good news,” Malti says. “We can be prosocial because we caused harm and we feel regret.”21.Researchers think that guilt can be a good thing because it may help______.A. foster a child’s moral developmentB. regulate a child's basic emotionsC. improve a child's intellectual abilityD. intensify a child's positive feelings22.According to paragraph 2, many people still consider guilt to be______.A. inexcusableB. deceptiveC. addictiveD. burdensome23. Vaish holds that the rethinking about guilt comes from an awareness that______.A. emotions are context-independentB. an emotion can play opposing rolesC. emotions are socially constructiveD. emotional stability can benefit health24. Malti and others have shown that cooperation and sharing _______.A. may be the outcome of impulsive actsB. may help correct emotional deficienciesC. can bring about emotional satisfactionD. can result from either sympathy or guilt25. The word “transgressions” (Line 4, Para.5) is closest in meaning to _______.A. teachingsB. wrongdoingsC. discussionsD. restrictionsText 2Forests give us shade, quiet and one of the harder challenges in the fight against climate change. Even as we humans count on forests to soak up a good share of the carbon dioxide we produce, we are threatening their ability to do so. The climatechange we are hastening could one day leave us with forests that emit more carbon than they absorb.Thankfully, there is a way out of this trap -- but it involves striking a subtle balance. Helping forests flourish as valuable "carbon sinks" long into the future may require reducing their capacity to absorb carbon now. California is leading the way, as it does on so many climate efforts, in figuring out the details.The state’s proposed Forest Carbon Plan aims to double efforts to thin out young trees and clear brush in parts of the forest. This temporarily lowers carbon-carrying capacity. But the remaining trees draw a greater share of the available moisture, so they grow and thrive, restoring the forest's capacity to pull carbon from the air. Healthy trees are also better able to fend off insects. The landscape is rendered less easily burnable. Even in the event of a fire, fewer trees are consumed.The need for such planning is increasingly urgent. Already, since 2010, drought and insects have killed over 100 million trees in California, most of them in 2016 alone, and wildfires have burned hundreds of thousands of acres.California plans to treat 35,000 acres of forest a year by 2020, and 60,000 by 2030 -- financed from the proceeds of the state's emissions-permit auctions. That's only a small share of the total acreage that could benefit, about half a million acres in all, so it will be vital to prioritize areas at greatest risk of fire or drought.The strategy also aims to ensure that carbon in woody material removed from the forests is locked away in the form of solid lumber or burned as biofuel in vehicles that would otherwise run on fossil fuels. New research on transportation biofuels is already under way.State governments are well accustomed to managing forests, but traditionally they’ve foc used on wildlife, watersheds and opportunities for recreation. Only recently have they come to see the vital part forests will have to play in storing carbon. California’s plan, which is expected to be finalized by the governor early next year, should serve as a model.26. By saying “one of the harder challenges,” the author implies that____.A. global climate change may get out of controlB. forests may become a potential threatC. people may misunderstand global warmingD. extreme weather conditions may arise27. To maintain forests as valuable “carbon sinks,” we may need to ____.A. preserve the diversity of species in themB. lower their present carbon-absorbing capacityC. accelerate the growth of young treesD. strike a balance among different plants28. California’s Forest Carbon Plan endeavors to _____.A. restore its forests quickly after wildfiresB. cultivate more drought-resistant treesC. find more effective ways to kill insectsD. reduce the density of some of its forests29. What is essential to California’s plan according to paragraph 5____?A. To obtain enough financial supportB. To carry it out before the year of 2020C. To handle the areas in serious danger firstD. To perfect the emissions-permit auctions30. The author’s attitude to California’s plan can best be described as ____.A. supportiveB. ambiguousC. tolerantD. cautiousText3American farmers have been complaining of labor shortages for several years. The complaints are unlikely to stop without an overhaul of immigration rules for farm workers.Congress has obstructed efforts to create a more straightforward visa for agricultural workers that would let foreign workers stay longer in the U.S. and change jobs within the industry. If this doesn't change, American businesses, communities, and consumers will be the losers.Perhaps half of U.S. farm laborers are undocumented immigrants. As fewer such workers enter the country, the characteristics of the agricultural workforce are changing. Today's farm laborers, while still predominantly born in Mexico, are more likely to be settled rather than migrating and more likely to be married than single. They’re also aging. At the start of this century, about one-third of crop workers were over the age of 35. Now more than half are. And picking crops is hard on older bodies. One oft-debated cure for this labor shortage remains as implausible as it has been all along: Native U.S. workers won't be returning to the farm.Mechanization isn’t the answer, either----not yet, at least. Production of corn, cotton, rice, soybeans, and wheat has been largely mechanized, but many high-value, labor-intensive crops, such as strawberries, need labor. Even dairy farms, where robots do a small share of milking, hav e a long way to go before they’re automated.As a result, farms have grown increasingly reliant on temporary guest workers using the H-2A visa to fill the gaps in the workforce. Starting around 2012, requests for the visas rose sharply; from 2011 to 2016 the number of visas issued more than doubled.The H-2A visa has no numerical cap, unlike the H-2B visa for nonagricultural work, which is limited to 66,000 a year. Even so, employers complain they aren't given all the workers they need. The process is cumbersome, expensive and unreliable. One survey found that bureaucratic delays led the average H-2A workers to arrive on the job 22 days late. The shortage is compounded by federal immigration raids, which remove some workers and drive others underground.In a 2012 survey, 71 percent of tree-fruit growers and almost 80 percent of raisin and berry growers said they were short of labor. Some western farmers have responded by moving operations to Mexico. From 1998 to 2000, 14.5 percent of the fruit Americans consumed was imported. Little more than a decade later, the share of imports was 25.8 percent.In effect, the U.S. can import food or it can import the workers who pick it.31. What problem should be addressed according to the first two paragraphs?A. Decline of job opportunities in U. S. agricultureB. Discrimination against foreign workers in the U.S.C. Biased laws in favor of some American businesses.D. Flaws in U.S. immigration rules for farm workers32. One trouble with U.S. agricultural workforce is_____.A. the aging of immigrant farm workersB. the rising number of illegal immigrantsC. the high mobility of crop workersD. the lack of experienced laborers33. What is the much-argued solution to the labor shortage in U.S. farming?A. To strengthen financial support for farmers.B. To attract younger laborers to farm work.C. To get native U.S. workers back to farmingD. To use more robots to grow high-value crops34. Agricultural employers complain about the H-2A visa for its _____.A. control of annual admissionsB. slow granting proceduresC. limit on duration of stayD. tightened requirements35. Which of the following could be the best title for this text?A. Manpower VS. Automation?B. U.S. Agriculture in Decline?C. Import Food or Labor?D. America Saved by Mexico?Text 4Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dia Mirza and Adrian Grenier have a message for you: It’s easy to beat plastic. They’re part of a bunch of celebrities star ring in a new video for World Environment Day--encouraging you, the consumer, to swap out your single-use plastic staples to combat the plastic crisis.The key messages that have been put together for World Environment Day do include a call for governments to enact legislation to curb single-use plastics. But the overarching message is directed at individuals.My concern with leaving it up to the individual, however, is our limited sense of what needs to be achieved. On their own, taking our own bags to the grocery store or quitting plastic straws, for example, will accomplish little and require very little of us. They could even be harmful, satisfying a need to have "done our bit" without ever progressing onto bigger, bolder, more effective actions---a kind of "moral licensing" that eases our concerns and stops us doing more and asking more of those in charge.While the conversation around our environment and our responsibility toward it remains centered on shopping bags and straws, we're ignoring the balance of powerthat implies that as "consumers" we must shop sustainably, rather than as "citizens" hold our governments and industries to account to push for real systemic change.It’s important to acknowledge that the environment isn’t everyone’s priority-or even most people’s. We shouldn’t expect it to be. In her latest book, Why Could People Do Bad Environmental Things, Elizabeth R. DeSombre argues that the best way to collectively change the behavior of large numbers of people is for the change to be structural.This might mean implementing policy such as a plastic tax that adds a cost to environmentally problematic action, or banning single-use plastics altogether. India has just announced it will “eliminate all single-use plastic in the country by 2022.” There are also incentive-based ways of making better environmental choices easier, such as ensuring recycling is at least as easy as trash disposal.De Sombre isn’t saying people should stop caring about the environment. It’s just that individual actions are too slow, she says, for that to be the only, or even primary, approach to changing widespread behavior.None of this is about writing off the individual. It’s just about putting things into perspective. We don’t have time to wait. We need progressive polici es that shape collective action, alongside engaged citizens pushing for change.36. Some celebrities star in a new video to_____.A. disclose the causes of the plastics crisisB. demand new laws on the use of plasticsC. urge consumers to cut the use of plasticsD. invite public opinion on the plastics crisis37. The author is concerned that “moral licensing” may_____. .A. suppress our desire for successB. mislead us into doing worthless thingsC. prevent us from making further effortsD. weaken our sense of accomplishment38. By pointing out our identity as “citizens," the author indicates that_____.A. We should press our government to lead the combatB. we have been actively exercising our civil rightsC. our relationship with local industries is improvingD. our focus should be shifted to community welfare39. DeSombre argues that the best way for a collective change should be_____.A. a top-down processB. a win-win arrangementC. a self-driven mechanismD. a cost-effective approach40. The author concludes that individual efforts______.A. can be too aggressiveB. can be too inconsistentC. are far from rationalD. are far from sufficientPart BDirections:Read the following text and match each of the numbered items in the left column to its corresponding information in the right column.

S. adults.While more families buck an older-generation proclivity to leave kids in the dark about real estate decisions, reality agents and psychologists have mixed views about the financial, personal and long-term effects kids’ opinions may have.The idea of involving children in a big decision is a great idea because it can help them feel a sense of control and ownership in what can be an overwhelming process, said Ryan Hooper, a clinical psychologist in Chicago.“Children may face serious difficulties in coping with significant moves, especially if it removes them from their current school or support system, "he said.Greg Jaroszewski, a real estate broker with Gagliardo Realty Associates, said he’s not convinced that kids should be involved in selecting a home-but their opinions should be considered in regards to proximity to friends and social activities, if possible.Younger children should feel like they’re choosing their home-without actually getting a choice in the matter, said Adam Bailey, a real estate attorney based in New York.Asking them questions about what they like about the backyard of a potential home will make them feel like they’re being included in the decision-making process, Bailey said.Many of the aspects of homebuying aren’t a consideration for children, said Tracey Hampson, a real estate agent based in Santa Clarita, Calif. And placing too much emphasis on their opinions can ruin a fantastic home purchase.“Speaking with your children before you make a real estate decision is wise, but I wouldn’t base the purchasing decision solely on their opinions,” Hampson said.The other issue is that many children -----especially older ones-may base their real estate knowledge on HGTV shows, said Aaron Norris of The Norris Group in Riverside, Calif."They love Chip and Julie Gaines just as much as the rest of us, " he said " HGTV has seriously changed how people view real estate. It's not shelter, it's a lifestyle. Withthat mindset change come some serious money consequences.”Kids tend to get stuck in the features and the immediate benefits to them personally, Norris said.Parents need to remind their children that their needs and desires may change over time, said Julie Gurner,, a real estate analyst with .“Their opinions can change tomorrow, " Garner said. “ Harsh as it may be to say, that decision should likely not be made contingent on a child’s opinions, but rather made for them with great consideration into what home can meet their needs best-and give them an opportunity to customize it a bit and make it their own.”This advice is more relevant now than ever before, even as more parents want to embrace the ideas of their children, despite the current housing crunch.Section III Translation46. Directions:In this section, there is a text in English. Translate it into Chinese. Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET.（15 points）It is easy to underestimate English writer James Herriot. He had such a pleasant, readable style that one might think that anyone could imitate it. How many times have I heard people say, “I could write a book, I just haven’t the time.” Easily said. Not so easily done. James Herriot, contrary to popular opinion, did not find it easy in his early days of, as he put it, “having a go at the writing game”. While he obviously had an abundance of natural talent, the final, polished work that he gave to the world was the result of years of practicing, re-writing and reading. Like the majority of authors, he had to suffer many disappointments and rejections along the way, but these made him all the more determined to succeed. Everything he achieved in life was earned the hard way and his success in the literary field was no exception.Section IV WritingPart A47.

Derided as awkward and underpowered, the PC jr. never caught on with kids or parents. But then again, IBM didn’t have the Mouse behind it.Backed by a posse of Mickey, Minnie, and Pluto, the Walt Disney Co. is looking to do what IBM never could: successfully market a computer system designed specifically for kids. The Disney Dream Desk PC ($600) and its complementarybig-eared, 14.1-inch monitor ($300) are aimed at kids ranging from 6 to 12 years olD. But even though the system is embellished with images of Mickey and software featuring Donald Duck and Goofy, the Dream Desk is more than a toy.Using Microsoft Windows XP, the Disney system is based on an Intel Celeron D processor and comes with a 40-gigabyte hard drive plus a combination CD burner and DVD player--serious enough hardware to manage games or homework. As an added feature, there’s a stylus that sits in a cradle built into the keyboarD. The stylus is a more comfortable pointing device than a mouse for little hands, and it also lets children create their own digital sketches.Teaching tool. On the software side, Disney has included a trio of creativity programs called Disney Flix, Pix, and Mix that lets kids create their own movies, add Disney characters to digital pictures, and compose musiC. For parents worried about the World Wild Web, Disney has included a Content Protect program that prevents curious tykes from visiting sites you’d rather they not view. And if you suspect they are using the Net more for games than research, the program will even track your children’s surfing and report back to you.By and large, the Disney system succeeds with the Dream Desk. Design elements like the monitor’s mouse keteer ears, which conceal speakers, certainly grabbed my 22-month-old daughter’s attention. But while she may have enjoyed "playing with Mickey," parents may wonder if computers for kids are a help or hindrance when it comes to learning. "The danger is that people tend to replace actual human instruction with these computers," says Reid Lyon, chief of the Child Development and Behavior Branch of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development at the National Institutes of Health. According to Lyon, computers are a fine tool to help kids learn--as long as there’s parental participation.Parents looking for educational titles on the Dream Desk will have to shop elsewhere. Furthermore, the total system price is about $150 more than comparably equipped plain-Jane PC s, and some elements of the Disney PC could be improveD. Making the LCD monitor touch sensitive would be a nice addition for kids, as would a clear cover to protect the screen from sticky little fingers. In addition,some parents may bridle at the brazen commercialism of having a large orange button on the system’s keyboard that takes kids directly to Disney’s $9.95-a-month Toontown online game.On the other hand, what parent hasn’t succumbed to a son or daughter’s desire for a Sponge Bob toy, Spiderman lunchbox, or Dora backpack? And while this PC may have big ears, it’s not just some Mickey Mouse computer.1. How can the Walt Disney Co. make a computer system popular with the kids?[A]The images of the Walt Disney Co. are deeply rooted in kids’ heart.[B]The Dream Desk is just like a super toy.[C]The computer system is designed specifically for kids.[D]Kids can use the computer system for games and doing homework.2. Which of the following is not the description of the Dream Desk?[A]Learning and playing are perfectly combined in this computer system.[B]The hardware is enough for the use of a kid.[C]The software takes the kids’ needs and parents’ worry into consideration.[D]The Dream Desk decorated with the image of Mickey catches the kids’ eyes.3. How can the parents take full advantage of the computer in the learning of their kids?[A]Not allowing the kids to visit the inappropriate web sites.[B]Using the computer to arouse kids’ interest in learning.[C]Fully exploring the potential function of the computer.[D]Working together with their kids.4. Which of the following is not true according to Paragraph 6?[A]The Dream Desk does not have price advantage.[B]The Dream Desk has been equipped with sensitive LCD monitor and a clear cover.[C]Some parents have offensive feelings toward the orange button indicating commercialism.[D]The computer system fails to cater for all the parents.5. What can we learn from the last paragraph?[A]The big ears make this PC look like a big toy that many kids long for.[B]Parents always try their best to satisfy their kids’ needs.[C]Parents find it difficult to refuse to buy their kids such toys as Mickey Mouse computer.[D]Mickey Mouse computer is a computer, rather than a toy.三、翻译句子1.

Running it was part of my job as a university program manager, working on a project to boost biotech collaborations between academia and industry. When I started in the role a few years earlier, I thought that maybe, after years of career exploration, I had finally found the right job for me. But at the conference, I found myself wondering whether that was really what I wanted from my career. I’m a scie ntist, not an event planner—but I had been too busy organizing the conference to appreciate the research being discussed. Was it timefor yet another change?I started off as a lab scientist. But then discovered that the highly focused nature of labwork w asn’t for me. My next job was at a pharmaceutical company—conducting literature searches. I enjoyed the work, which allowed me to stay close to research and interact with a variety of people. But I was only offered a short-term contract, so after a year I had to move on. I then became a scientific journal editor. I loved the breadth of science that I was exposed to, but the job required a lengthy commute. So, I made another dramatic change and moved back to the ivory tower for my current job.It had become a pattern: I spent a few years in each role only to find that it wasn’t quite the right fit. I also realized that maybe I was searching for something that didn’t exist.I began to think about creative ways to add the scientific stimulation I sought to my worklife. With my previous knowledge and my experience as an editor, I realized I had the skill set to do that through freelance science writing, such as news articles for journalsand blogs.With my former colleagues’ positive responses, I finally decide d I could do my university job on a less than full-time schedule. Fortunately, my manager agreed.For the last year, I have been a university program manager/freelance writer, and I’ve never been happier. Weaving the two roles together has been a bit tricky at times. But Ifinally feel I have a career that is tailored to my needs. I’ve realized that a career doesn’t need to be “off the shelf.” Jobs can be mixed and matched to get to one thatfits.锛堝垎鏁帮細5锛?/p>(1).What did the author think of his conference organizing job in Paragraph 1?锛堝垎鏁帮細1锛?/p>A.It gave him a sense of achievement.B.It proved that he was making progress in his career.C.It was not as meaningful as scientific research. 鈭?/span>D.It was too challenging for him.瑙ｆ瀽锛?/div>(2).The author left the job as scientific journal editor because________.锛堝垎鏁帮細1锛?/p>A.it demanded high work intensity.B.he was offered only a short contract.C.he was not satisfied with the pay.D.it was too far from home. 鈭?/span>瑙ｆ瀽锛?/div>(3).What does “something” (Para 3) possibly mean?锛堝垎鏁帮細1锛?/p>A.A suitable role. 鈭?/span>B.An ideal job.C.A balanced life.D.A fixed pattern.瑙ｆ瀽锛?/div>(4).What is the author’s present job?锛堝垎鏁帮細1锛?/p>A.He works in a university and also writes on the side.B.He is an event planner and also a program manager.C.He teaches in a university and also writes books.D.He is a full-time manager and also a freelance writer. 鈭?/span>瑙ｆ瀽锛?/div>(5).What is this passage mainly about?锛堝垎鏁帮細1锛?/p>A.The author's clear career plan.B.The author's changing perception of career. 鈭?/span>C.The author's persistence in the face of obstacles.D.The author's failure in securing a work contract.瑙ｆ瀽锛?/div>Passage TwoYou've probably been seeing and hearing a lot more about"eSports"lately. Major television networks are broadcasting competitions and even more mainstream media coverage is planned for the near future. What are e Sports and why are they so popular?Loosely defined, e Sports are video game competitions. These can be anything from a local tournament(閿︽爣璧?nbsp;)in a video game store to those staged in 25, 000-seat arenas, watched live by millions of people around the world. In practical terms, "eSports "refers to the competitions engineered by global organizations that culminate in big-money championship tournaments dollar figures that can exceed $1, 000, 000 for winners.The second question ---"Why are they getting so popular?"---is more nuanced. The biggest reason is that fans of games enjoy watching them played at the highest level. It's fun seeing the top layers in the world do what they do best. There are plenty of other reasons the eSports community is growing. All of the controversies, drama, and compelling individuals from the mainstream sports world exist in eSports as well. Top players move from team to team like free agents retire and return to competition unexpectedly and experience unlikely come-from-behind victories and crushing defeats. New challengers consistently emerge on the scene, ready to take down championship teams and generate compelling rivalries. The parallels with traditional sports and esports are more numerousthan many realize.Perhaps the biggest difference between traditional sports and eSports is the viewers. Unlike mainstream athletic competitions, which appeal to a broad range of demographics, consumers of eSports are overwhelmingly young and male. For example, over 70 percent of League of legends (the most popular eSports game in terms of dollars and participants) viewers are males, and the vast majority of them are under 26. This means a couple of things, both of them appealing to advertisers looking to reach this young and lucrative market - the audience will grow as more youngsters are introduced, and as they get older, their purchasing power increases.锛堝垎鏁帮細5锛?/p>(1).It is stated in Paragraph i that eSports have________.锛堝垎鏁帮細1锛?/p>A.caused competition among mediaB.drawn an increasing number of youths 10-R3C.crated many broadcasting companiesD.attracted major television networks 鈭?/span>瑙ｆ瀽锛?/div>(2).According to Paragraph 2, eSports________.锛堝垎鏁帮細1锛?/p>A.can be staged only in local stadiumsB.can lead to a huge sum of award 鈭?/span>C.may be hard to define preciselyD.may be loosely linked to video games瑙ｆ瀽锛?/div>(3).The word"nuanced"(Para3) most probably means“________.”锛堝垎鏁帮細1锛?/p>A.strangeB.outstandingC.specificplicated 鈭?/span>瑙ｆ瀽锛?/div>(4).Which of the following is Not a reason for the growth of the e Sports community?锛堝垎鏁帮細1锛?/p>A.The stories about the top playersB.The fun of watching top-level performanceC.The investment from governments 鈭?/span>D.The parallels with the mainstream sports瑙ｆ瀽锛?/div>(5).Traditional sports and e Sports are different mainly in________.锛堝垎鏁帮細1锛?/p>A.their rulesB.their importanceC.their profitsD.their audiences 鈭?/span>瑙ｆ瀽锛?/div>Passage ThreeSenator Kamala harris was half right when she said we need to address climate change based on"science fact, not science fiction. The truth is, we need both Science fiction has an important 1 role to play in rescuing the future from the huge challenges were facing -and the responses to Harris's statement illustrate this perfectly.When Harris'statement about climate change went out on social media, a number of people pointed out the truth: Science fiction has been helping us to prepare for a world of potential climate disasters for years. But an equal number of loud voices disagreed withHarris's warnings about climate change.And thats why science fiction is more important than Harris gives it credit for. No amount of scientific evidence will convince deniers -or the vast number of people who merely live in a state of denial. We live in a post-truth era in which facts and fiction are blurring into an distinguishable mess and power belongs to whoever can tell the best story, true or not. What matters is just how something makes us feel which is why we need better stories, that, in thewords of author Neil gaiman "lie in order to tell the truth."Stories about climate change might be fiction, but they can help to sway people's hearts and minds in a different way than a recitation of the undeniable facts. Science fiction creators have been looking for ways to restore people's faith in the future. Authors such as Alexandra rowland have started a conversation about creating a new type of stories called"Hopepunk "that show people reasons to believe we really can do the hard work of fixing our problems. Some other authors are creating a new genre called "Solarpunk that aims to tell stories about using technological and scientific innovation to help theenvironment.When the truth becomes near-impossible to distinguish through the fog of disinformation and alternative facts, people tend to feel powerless to change the world. Activist L A. Kauffman says people need to be reminded that they "have more collective power than they realize. Adds Kauffman, " There are truths we can get to through the imagination that are hard to get to throughpurely factual accounts.锛堝垎鏁帮細5锛?/p>(1).How does the author comment on Senator Harris’ statement about climate change?锛堝垎鏁帮細1锛?/p>A.Really confusingB.Partially true 鈭?/span>C.Quite convincingD.Totally wrong瑙ｆ瀽锛?/div>(2).The deniers in Paragraph 3 refer to those who deny that ________.锛堝垎鏁帮細1锛?/p>A.science fiction is important 鈭?/span>B.we are in a post-truth eraC.climate change is a serious issueD.our opinions actually matter瑙ｆ瀽锛?/div>(3).The author cites Neil Gaiman in order to emphasize that ________.锛堝垎鏁帮細1锛?/p>A.fiction may better convey the truth 鈭?/span>B.it is difficult to tell the fact from fictionC.the power of fiction is overestimatedD.fiction makes us feel better about ourselves瑙ｆ瀽锛?/div>(4).What do “Hopepunk” and “Solarpunk” have in common?锛堝垎鏁帮細1锛?/p>A.A focus on technological innovationB.A vivid description of the harsh realityC.An intention to broaden our horizonsD.An optimistic outlook for the future 鈭?/span>瑙ｆ瀽锛?/div>(5).What might be Kauffman attitude toward science fiction?锛堝垎鏁帮細1锛?/p>A.Appreciative 鈭?/span>B.ConcernedC.NegativeD.Unclear瑙ｆ瀽锛?/div>Passage FourMany people have looked to the stars and wondered what it would be like to take a trip into outer space. Ever since the space program began, traveling beyond Earth has been a privilege for a select few, namely, astronauts. The rest of us have had to imagine what it would belike, but that may soon change.Those who favor expanding space exploration feel that it is time to go beyond the government-funded National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) program and to createopportunities for individuals and businesses to explore outer space. Imagine privately financed research outposts in space, missions to Mars, and mining operations on the Moon.The space frontier could indeed be the next gold rush!Imagine what it would be like to travel in space. Those who have been lucky enough to visit space have all called it an amazing experience. The view of Earth and the stars must be spectacular, and the experience of living in “zero gravity” would be fascinating. The first American woman to visit space, Sally Ride, said that it was the greatest fun of her life. Imagine the thrill of booking a flight for a weekend stay (or longer) at a space hotel. It turns out that a space hotel would be much easier to design and build than the International Space Station; early estimates of the cost to build the hotels indicate that they would be less expensive if the orbiting hotels were built to accommodate large numbersof space travelers.The space hotel and the other projects businesses might think up would allow people to see what is happening in space with their own eyes. That may lead to more support of NASA and its space research and greater appreciation of the funding that the space program nowreceives.Those who oppose expanding space exploration argue that the costs are overwhelming and unrealistic. They point to the billions of dollars that would have to be raised through consumers or corporate sponsorship. In addition, civilian space travel is potentially dangerous, and there are many unknown risks involved.Who would determine the safety of commercial orbiting vehicles, and how would they be insured? Issues like this require time for discussion among groups from many different businesses. Companies that specialize in manufacturing, travel, marketing, insurance, law,and finance would all have to be involved.Others believe there are simply too many unanswered questions to put civilians in space any time soon. There are also those who question investing in space exploration when there are widespread problems like poverty and disease that need to be addressed on Earth. For these people, commercial space travel will remain science fiction, at least for many years tocome.锛堝垎鏁帮細5锛?/p>(1).The expression “the next gold rush” (Para.2) probably means that________.锛堝垎鏁帮細1锛?/p>A.gold might be discovered on remote planetsB.space exploration could be the next investment hotspot 鈭?/span>C.investors are enthusiastic about gold mining in spaceD.private businesses are more interested in space travel瑙ｆ瀽锛?/div>(2).It can be learned from Paragraph 3 that ________.锛堝垎鏁帮細1锛?/p>A.space visitors regret what they have doneB.space hotels would be very uncomfortableC.Sally Ride enjoyed her visit to outer space 鈭?/span>D.the view of Earth and the stars is boring瑙ｆ瀽锛?/div>(3).All of the following are objections to commercial space travel EXCEPT ________.锛堝垎鏁帮細1锛?/p>A.overwhelming costsB.potential dangersC.unknown risksernment opposition 鈭?/span>瑙ｆ瀽锛?/div>(4).The author’s attitude toward commercial space trave l is________.锛堝垎鏁帮細1锛?/p>A.supportiveB.opposingC.objective 鈭?/span>D.indifferent瑙ｆ瀽锛?/div>(5).Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?锛堝垎鏁帮細1锛?/p>A.Civilians in Space 鈭?/span>B.Future of Private Space BusinessesC.Exploration of Outer SpaceD.Hotels in Space瑙ｆ瀽锛?/div>浜斻€侀槄璇荤悊瑙?鎬婚鏁帮細1锛屽垎鏁帮細5.00)If you try to contact Indy Cube锛坅 provider of workspaces锛塧fter 5 pm, you receive an automatic Message that would make a good demonstration for the fast-growing four-day week movement. “we’ll get back to you pretty quickly during working hours,” it says. “if you’re messaging us outside of these, we’re probably busy with other things, like horse-riding, dancing, or good sleep.”The firm is one of a growing number of employers giving their workers an extra day off for the same pay as a five-day week. There is emerging evidence that it can boost productivityfor bosses and happiness for workers.And it is not just small businesses that might be spotting a chance to save a little money by turning the lights off one day a week. One of the biggest organizations to make the switch is Perpetual Guardian whose shift has generated huge globe interest, with 406 organizations from around the world asking it for advice.“This week we have had people contact us from Japan, Canada, the UK, France, Switzerland.” said its founder Andrew Barnes. The day off that each worker takes varies, depending on the team’s needs at the time, but there has been a change in culture with “less time surfing on s ocial media and fewer unnecessary meetings.” said Barnes.However, Kate Cooper, policy director at the Institute of Leadership and Management argues the reasons behind increases in productivity are not yet clear. Cooper said that “the Hawthorne effect” may be in play, that is, people change their behavior simply because they feel they are being observed—in this case they feel that by being granted a four-day week they believe their bosses are interested in their work. “How sustainable is that?”Cooperdoubts.Comment 1:I don’t exactly disagree with a 4-day week as long as I still have the option to work 5days and get more money for it.Comment 2锛?/strong>Middle class conception of work-life balance.
