Reading Comprehension (45%)Section A (15%)Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Probably the number one complaint about reading Shakespeare is that it doesn't always read like "normal" English. It's a natural and legitimate___41___. Shakespeare wrote for an audience over 400 years ago. Think about how word meanings and expressions change over a relatively short time; four centuries bring with them a lot of ___42___ .The Elizabethan era was a particularly volatile growth spurt in the English language. The Renaissance and England's emerging status as a sea power ___43___ the language to an ever-increasing range of cultures and languages. At the same time, there was no real standardization in English. Formal dictionaries and grammar textbooks ___44___ did not exist, and "proper" education focused much more on classical Latin than on colloquial English. Despite this neglect ---- or perhaps because of it ----English by the reign of Elizabeth had a certain flexibility to it, of which Shakespeare ___45___.So how can a reader today __46____ that gap between then and now? There are two critical areas to ___47___ : word usage, grammar. Once you understand these fundamental concepts, Shakespeare becomes a lot more ___48___.First and foremost, there have been numerous vocabulary changes in English since Shakespeare was writing. While many words are still recognizable today, others have shifted in their meaning or dropped altogether from usage. ___49___, when was the last time you heard anyone use words such as bodkin (a piercing tool), contumely (verbal abuse), or fardel (a bundle)? There are also conventions such as the informal thou versus the formal you; think of this the same way that tú and usted are used in Spanish, or du and sie in German. Often the context in which a word is used will help you determine its meaning. A good ___50___ with detailed footnotes will help you, as well as a good dictionary. The main thing is to be aware that even a familiar word from today may be used with a different meaning in Shakespeare's works.Grammar is where the ___51___ of Shakespeare's English is often most apparent. Parts of speech are frequently___52___, such as nouns or adjectives becoming verbs. Verbs and subjects don't always ___53___. Words are often omitted in phrases. Word endings such as -ly are inconsistently applied. Shakespeare uses double negatives in spots and phrases such as "most unkindest" with regularity. Even sentence construction can be ___54___, with inversions of the basic subject-verb-object order. ___55___ we would say, "John caught the ball," Shakespeare might render the same statement with the same meaning as "John the ball caught," or "The ball John caught." As a result, it's important to recognize which part of speech a given word actually represents in a given line.41. A. oppression B. accusation C. direction D. appreciation42.

SinceSection B (22%)Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AComputers have been taught to play not only checkers, but also championship chess, which is a fairly accurate yardstick for measuring the computer’s progress in the ability to learn from experience.Because the game requires logical reasoning, chess would seem to be perfectly suited to the computer. All a programmer has to do is give the computer a program evaluating the consequences of every possible response to every possible move, and the computer will win every time. In theory this is a sensible approach; in practice it is impossible. Today, a powerful computer can analyze 40 000 moves a second. That is an impressive speed. But there are an astronomical number of possible moves in chess ---- literally trillions. Even if such a program were written (and in theory it could be given enough people and enough time), there is no computer capable of holding that much data.Therefore, if the computer is to compete at championship levels, it must be programmed to function with less than complete data. It must be able to learn from experience, to modify its own program, to deal with a relatively unstructured situation ---- i n a word, to ―think‖ for itself. In fact, this can be done. Chess-playing computers have yet to defeat world champion chess players, but several have beaten human players of only slightly lower ranks. The computers have had programs to carry them through the early, mechanical stages of their chess games. But they have gone on from there to reason and learn, and sometimes to win the game.There are other proofs that computers can be programmed to learn, but this example is sufficient to demonstrate the point. Granted, winning a game of chess is not an earthshaking eventeven when a computer does it. But there are many serious human problems which can be fruitfully approached as games. The Defense Department uses computers to play war games and work out strategies for dealing with international tensions. Other problems ----international and interpersonal relations, ecology and economics, and the ever-increasing threat of world famine ---- can perhaps be solved by the joint efforts of human beings and truly intelligent computers.56. The purpose of creating chess-playing computers is __________ .A. to win the world chess championB. to pave the way for further intelligent computersC. to work out strategies for international warsD. to find an accurate yardstick for measuring computer progress57. Today, a chess-playing computer can be programmed to __________ .A. give trillions of responses in a second to each possible move and win the gameB. function with complete data and beat the best playersC. learn from chess-playing in the early stage and go on to win the gameD. evaluate every possible move but may fail to give the right response each time58. For a computer to ―think‖, it is necessary to __________ .A. mange to process as much data as possible in a secondB. program it so that it can learn from its experiencesC. prepare it for chess-playing firstD. enable it to deal with unstructured situations59. The author’s attitude towards the Defense Department is __________ .A. criticalB. unconcernedC. positiveD. negativeBThe following are four resumes (简历) of four persons.Hannah Oyler21 Balsom St Ventura, CA 94120 (613)555–7236Objective To obtain a position as a photographer for a major metropolitan (大都市的) newspaper.Notable Achievements Time Magazine, Top Photos of the Year 1999 for California Wildfire Banaker; Excellence in Photography Fellowship, 1995.ExperienceVentura County Times Staff photographer, 1996—Present,Regular coverage included: Sports, Lifestyle, & Metro.

No doubt it began very gradually. Animals have a few cries that serve as signals, but even the highest apes have not been found able to pronounce words, even with the most intensive professional instruction. The superior brain of man is apparently a necessity for the mastering of speech. When man became intelligent enough, we must suppose that he gradually increased the number of cries for different purposes. It was a great day when he discovered that speech could be used for describing and telling stories. There are those who think in this respect picture language appeared before oral language. A man could draw a picture on the wall of his cave to show in which direction he had gone, or what prey he hoped to catch. Probably picture language and oral language developed side by side. I prefer to think that language has been the most important single factor in the development of man.Two important stages came not so long before the dawn of written history. The first was the domestication of animals. The second was agriculture. Agriculture was a step in human progress to which there was nothing comparable until our own machine age. Agriculture made possible a huge increase in the number of the human species in the regions where it could be successfully practiced. These were, at first, only those in which nature fertilized the soil after each harvest. Agriculture met with violent resistance from the pastoral nomads （游牧民族）, but the agricultural way of life was accepted in the end because of the physical comforts it provided.Another fundamental technical advance was writing, which, like spoken language, developed out of pictures, but as soon as it had reached a certain stage, it was possible to keep records and transmit information to people who were not present when the information was given.These inventions and discoveries ---- fire, speech, weapons, domestic animals, agriculture, and writing ----made the existence of civilized communities possible. From about 3000 B. C. until the beginning of the Industrial Revolution less than two hundred years ago there was no technical advance comparable to these. During this long period man had time to become accustomed to his technique, and to develop the beliefs and political organizations appropriate to it. There was, of course, a big extension in the area of civilized life. At first it had been confined to the Nile, the Euphrates, the Tigris and the Indus, but at the end of the period inquestion it covered much the greater part of the inhabitable globe. I do not mean to suggest that there was no technical progress during this long time; there was progress ---- there were even two inventions of very great importance, namely gunpowder and the compass ---- but neither of these can be compared in their power to such things as speech and writing and agriculture.63. According to the above passage, we can conclude that ___________.A. the use of fire and the domestication of animals made agriculture possibleB. progress was probably very slow when language first came into beingC. gunpowder and the compass are as important as speech in historyD. communication is the most important factor for human development64. From the article we can learn that agriculture ___________.A. was accepted as soon as it appearedB. is as great a step forward as our machine ageC. helped improve the techniques of domesticationD. at first helped make the land more suitable for crops65. Which is the right order of the appearance of the following things（a to e）?a. agricultureb. weaponsc. domestication of animalsd. written languagee. political organizationsA. c, a, d, b, eB. e, b, c, d, aC. b, a, c, d, eD. b, c, a, d, e66.

This probably describes most of us because it's only human nature to not want to miss out on something that everyone else is talking about.Most fads arrive suddenly and enthusiasm for them spreads quickly. They become a talking point on social media; we read about them, give them a try and, before we know it, we are hooked. In the past, (67.)___________. Maybe you were the proud owner of a Rubik's cube, which became the best-selling toy of all time – around 350 million have been sold so far.Now, technology is driving the latest crazes. In some parts of the world, flavour of the month is Pokémon Go ---- a game that uses augmented reality, where little virtual monsters pop up onto your phone and you have tocatch them. And games such as Angry Birds and Minecraft are other crazes, available on smartphones and tablets that have been hard to put down.Our keenness to participate in crazes has been analyzed by experts.

It allows you to learn new skills and gives you something to talk about at parties!But fashions come and go and most fads are just a flash in the pan so if one of them is not your cup of tea, don't worry: (70.)_______________. Look at the addiction to the unsophisticated loom bands – those little rubber bands you could make jewelry and other things out of. For a brief period they were the must-have item for any schoolchild, now they're the bargain bucket item in a discount shop or worse still, trash filling up our landfill sites!
