How is it that she is never at a 26 for words? How can she 27 the names of a couple they met on 28 years ago? Now we know 29 to tell him: it's her brain.Although there are obviously cultural 30 for the differences in emotions and behavior, 31 breakthrough research reveals that the 32 of many puzzling differences between men and women may 33 in the head. Men's and women's brains 34 much in common, but they are definitely not the same 35 size, structure or insight. Broadly speaking, a woman's brain, like her body, is ten to fifteen per cent smaller than a man's, 36 the regions dedicated to language may be more densely 37 with brain cells.Girls generally speak earlier and read faster. The reason may be 38 females use both sides of the brain when they read. In 39 , males rely only on the left side.At every age, women' s memories 40 men' s, They have a greater ability to 41_names with faces than men do, and they are 42 at recalling list. The events people remember best are those that an emotion is attached to. 43 women use more of their right brains, which 44 emotions, they may do this automatically.While we don't yet know what all these findings imply, one thing is 45 : male and female brains do the same things, but they do them differently.26.

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1Bum rate is the speed at which a startup business consumes money. My rate would be $ 50,000 a month when my new media company started. So, I began looking around for individuals who would be my first investors. “Angel money” it was called. But when I reviewed my list of acquaintances to find those who might be able t o help, I found the number got small.With no other choices, I began meeting with the venture-capital companies. But I was warned they took a huge share of your company for the money they put in. And if you struggled, they could drop you cold.As I was searching for “angel money”, I starte d to build a team who trusted me even though I didn't have money for paychecks yet.Bill Becker was an expert in computer programming and image processing at a very famous Media Lab at M.I.T. With his arrival, my company suddenly had a maior technology “guy” in-house.Katherine Henderson, a filmmaker and a former real-estate dealer, joined us as our director of market research. Steve White came on as operating officer. He had worked for the developer of a home-finance software, Quicken. We grabbed him.We had some really good people, but we still didn't have enough money. One night, my neighbor, Louise Johnson, came for a visit. She and I were only nodding acquaintances, but her boys and ours were constant companions. She ran a very good business at the time.Louise was brilliant and missed nothing. She had been watching my progress closely. She knew I was dying for money and I had prospects but could offer no guarantees of success.She told me that her attorney had talked to mine and the terms had been agreed upon. She handed me an envelope. Inside was a check for $ 500,000.I almost fell down. I heard her voice as if from heaven.“I have confidence in your plan,” she said. “You' 11 do well. You're going to work hard for it, but it' s satisfyin g when you build your own company.”Who would have thought I'd find an angel so close to home? There were no words sufficient for the moment. We just said good night. She left and I just stood there, completely humbled and completely committed.46. For a newly-established business, bum rate refers to___________.A. the salary it pays to its staffB. the interest it pays to the bankC. the way in which it raises capitalD. the speed at which it spends money47. By "Angel money", the author refers to__________.A. the money borrowed from banksB. the money spent to promote salesC. the money raised from close friendsD. the money needed to start a business48. To get help from a venture-capital company, you may have to__________.A. put up with unfair termsB. change your business lineC. enlarge your business scopeD. let them operate your business49. The author easily built a team for his company because__________.A. they were underpaid at their previous jobsB. they were turned down by other companiesC. they were confident of the author and his businessD. they were satisfied with the salaries in his company50. Louise decided to lend money to the author because__________.A. she wanted to join his companyB. she knew he would build a teamC. she knew his plan would succeedD. she wanted to help promote his salesText 2Nearly all “speed reading” courses have a “pacing” element——some timing device which lets the student know how many words a minute he is reading. You can do this simply by looking at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes and noting down the page number you have reached. Check the average number of words per page for the particular book you are reading. How do you know when 5 minutes has passed on your watch if you are busy reading the book? Well, this is difficult at first. A friend can help by timing you over a set period, or you can readwithin hearing distance of a pub-lic clock which strikes the quarter hours. Pace yourself every three or four days, always with the same kind of easy, general interest books. You should soon notice your accustomed w. p.m. rate creeping up.Obviously there is little point in increasing your w. p. m. rate if you do not understand what you are reading. When you are consciously trying to increase your reading speed, stop after every chapter (if you are reading a novel)or every section or group of ten or twelve pages (if it is a text-book)and ask yourself a few questions about what you have been reading. If you find you have lost the thread of the story, or you cannot remember clearly the details of what was said, reread the section or chapter.You can also try “lightning speed” exercise from time to time. Take four or five pages of the general interest book you happen to be reading and read them as fast as you possibly can. Do not bother about whether you understand or not. Now go back and read them at what you feel to be your "normal" w. p. m. rate, the rate at which you can comfortably understand. After a 'lightning speed' reading through (probably 600 w. p. m. )you will usually find that your “normal” speed has increased-perhaps. by as much as 50-100 w. p.m. This is the technique sportsmen use when they usually run further in training than they will have to on the day of the big race.51. According to the passage, a “pacing” device_________.A.is used to time student' s reading speedB.is. not used in most, speed reading coursesC. is used as .an aid to vocabulary learningD. should be used whenever we read alone52. In speed reading, looking at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes_________.A. avoids the need for reading fasterB. is not the same as pacingC. may seem unworkable at firstD. helps you to remember your page number53. When you are reading a novel, you should check your understanding of the content after_______.A. every chapterB. every sectionC. every four or five pagesD. every ten or twelve pages54. The purpose of the “lightning speed” exercise is to_________.A. increase your speed by scanning the text firstB. test your maximum reading speedC. help you understand more of the content of the bookD. enable you to win reading races against your friends55. The best title for this passage would be_________.A. Hints for Successful ReadingB. Hints for Speed ReadingC. Effective ReadingD. Lightning Speed ExercisesText 3There is one difference between the sexes on which virtually every expert and study agree: men are more aggressive than women. It shows up in 2-year-olds. It continues through school days and persists into adulthood. It is even constant across cultures. And there is little doubt that it is rooted in biology in the male sex hormone testosterone.If there's a feminine trait that's the counterpart of male aggressiveness, it's what social scien-tists awkwardly refer to as "nurturance". Feminists have argued that the nurturing nature of women is not biological in origin, but rather has been drummed into women by a society that wanted to keep them in the home. But the signs that it is at least partly inborn are too numerous to ignore.Just as tiny infant girls respond more readily to human faces, female toddlers learn much faster than males how to pick up nonverbal cues from others. And grown women are far more adept than men at interpreting facial expressions: A recent study by University of Pennsylvania brain researcher Ru-ben Gur showed that they easily read emotions such as anger, sadness and fear. The only such e-motion men could pick up was disgust.What difference do such differences make in the real world? Among other things, women appear to be somewhat less competitive——or at least competitive in different ways——than men. At the Harvard Law School, for instance, female students enter with credentials just as outstanding as those of their male peers. But they don' t qualify for the prestigious Law Review in proportionate numbers, a fact some school officials attribute to women' s discomfort in the incredibly competitive atmosphere.Students of management styles have found fewer differences than they expected between men and women who reach leadership positions, perhaps because many successful women deliberately imitate masculine ways. But an analysis by Purdue social psychologist Alice Eagly of 166 studies of leadership style did find one consistent difference: Men tend to be more “autocratic”-making decisions on their own——while women tend to consult colleagues and subordinates more often. Studies of behavior in small groups turn up even more differences. Men will typically domi-nate the discussion, says University of Toronto psychologist Kenneth Dion, spending more time talking and less time listening.56. The passage mainly discusses__________.A. how sex differences are demonstrated in social relationsB. how hormone determines sex differencesC. why there are differences between males and femalesD. why men and women have different social roles57. Which of the following is true of women's nurturing nature according to the passage?A. It is not inborn in any sense.B. It is inspired by women' s families.C. It is caused by social prejudice.D. It is partly biological in origin.58. The Harvard Law School example in paragraph 3 suggests that_________.A. women are not as competitive as menB. law is not the fight profession for womenC. women are as excellent as men when they are youngD. academic credentials are disproportionate to performance59. Which of the following statement is tree according to paragraph 4?A. Men leaders should consult colleagues and subordinates more often.B. Female leaders' success is due to their imitating male leaders.C. Men and women are different in their leadership style.D. Decisiveness is an important quality for a successful politician.60. It can be inferred from the passage that the writer_________.A. denies the difference sexes make in real lifeB. is prejudiced against menC. discourages women to be competitiveD. treats sex difference objectivelyPart BDirections:Read the texts from an article in which five people talked about energy and making use of it. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each speaker to one of the statements (A to G)given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET 1.Jackson:Viewed from a scientist's standpoint, all of the energy contained in fuel either now or in the future becomes heat. Some of the heat is used directly or produces useful work. The rest is lost or rejected.That is to say, it is radiated into the atmosphere from the engines, motors, furnaces, power lines, television sets, boilers and all the other energy-consuming machinery that makes our wheels go around.Browning:It is necessary to improve the efficiency with. which we use energy in order to do more work. But improvement cannot come overnight, and there are limits beyond which not even science can help.According to the Center for Strategic and International studies, about three quarters of the energy we use to move things, including ourselves, accomplishes no useful work.Jeffrey:In terms of efficiency, buses, trains, and other forms of public transportation may be using en-ergy more efficiently than private automobiles. Unless private automobiles can operate at near capacity, their overall efficiency is poor. For example, an urban bus carrying 36 passengers may achieve an efficiency of around 120 passenger-miles per gallon of gasoline. But buses are not al-ways fully loaded, and sometimes they carry no passengers at all.Vandenberg:It is true that buses can sometimes run without passengers. City trains seem to be very effi-cient, but theysuffer the same shortcomings as buses and cost more. Except for rush hours, com-muter trains seldom run at full capacity. This wastes even more energy and is more than the management can afford.As a result, commuter trains are truly practical only in places where there are a lot of people.Nathan:For some people, mass transportation may serve their needs. For others, a combination of mass transportation and private transportation may be preferable. Better design and wise use of both mass transportation systems and private vehicles will play an important part in helping us make full-er use of energy for transportation.Now match each of the persons (61 to 65)to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements61. Jackson A. City trains and buses have different faults to overcome.62. Browning B. The efficiency of the city train depends on the size of population.63. Jeffrey C. Public transportation is usually more energy-efficient.64. Vandenberg D. Private cars usually run at full capacity.65. Nathan E. No fuel energy is fully used.F. A combined means of transport can help increase energy efficiency.G. Problems of energy loss can never be completely solved.SECTION IV Writing(40 minutes)Directions:You should write your responses to both Part A and Part B of this section on ANSWER SHEET 2.Part A66. You have read the job advertisement below in a newspaper and you want to apply for the job. Write a letter of application to the manager of the company, Mr. Meed, giving all the necessary personal information. You should write approximately 100 words.Do not sign your own name at the end of your letter. Use “Wang Lin” instead. You do not need to write the address.Part B67.

It cannot be explained briefly, as is possible when describing drinking in many other countries. There are special laws to limit drinking, and Americans enjoy their own tastes.AlcoholAmerican laws concerning alcohol differ from state to state and city to city. In some towns, even states, alcohol is not allowed for sale at all except for the very weak 3.2 percent alcohol beer, known as “three-two” beer. Some places do not allow the sale of alcohol on Sundays, even in shops—you may find a bar with locks on its alcohol shelves. Other places permit alcohol to be sold on Sunday afternoons and evenings, but not on Sunday mornings. In many parts of America, you are not allowed to drink alcohol in a public place. That is, you may not sit in a park or walk along a street while drinking beer, and you cannot even take a nice bottle of wine on your picnic. And in many states you are not allowed to drink alcohol while driving, or even have an opened alcohol bottle in the car. Some bars have a license only for beer and wine. Others are also allowed to sell spirits (烈性酒) and, as Americans say, “mixed drinks”. Many bars have a period known as “happy hour”, often longer than an hour, when they sell drinks at lower-than-usual prices. This is usually around 5 p.m. and may be only on certain days of the week.The Legal Drinking AgeThe legal drinking age differs from place to place but is generally between 18 and 21. Some places permit the consumption of beer at 18 but spirits only at 21. Others permit the consumption only of “three-two” beer from 18 to 21. Young people therefore often drive from one place to another with more free drinking laws. In some parts of the US young people are allowed to vote, marry, raise children, keep full-time jobs, be tried in courts as adults, join the army and even buy guns—but NOT have a glass of beer. In some places people aged between 18 and 21 are allowed to go into bars but not allowed to drink.Another even more interesting aspect of American drinking age laws is that in some places people below legal drinking age are not even allowed to sell alcohol. Proof of Legal Drinking AgeIn most places these drinking laws are fairly rigidly kept. You may, for example, find people lining up to get into a bar and discover that the line is caused by a guard on the door who is asking everybody for identification. If you ask him why he wants to know who you are, he will inform you that he actually wants proof of how old you are. On such occasions Americans often show their driving licenses, which have their date of birth written on them.BeerAmerican beer, with very few exceptions, ranges from the average to the terrible. There are not many types of beer in the US—”light” and “dark” are two terms commonly used.It is therefore normal to order beer simply by brand names. In a restaurant, in fact, it is quite all right to order “a beer”, and they will tell you what they have.It is not necessary, either, to specify quantity when ordering beer. If it comes in bottles or cans, you will get a bottle or can, and if it’s “on tap”(可以随时取用的),you will get a glass, unless you order a “pitcher”(大酒罐). The latter is very convenient to serve, since you can then take the pitcher and glasses to your table and keep filling up without going back to the bar. It is harder, however, to know how much you have drunk.Some beer comes in bottles with taps that look as if they need an opener, but youcan, in fact, open them up by hand—though you have to be very careful not to hurt yourself. It is possible, in some stores and bars, to find a wide variety of beer from all over the world, especially Western Europe and Australia, and it is fun to try them. Cocktail (鸡尾酒)Cocktails and “mixed drinks” are much more popular and stronger in the US than in Europe, and visitors may not be familiar with some of the term. “On the rocks”, as you probably know, means with ice, while “straight up” or “up” means neat and without ice. There are hundreds of different cocktails, and there is no space here to list all the different names.WhiskeyIn America “whiskey” means bourbon unless otherwise indicated. Bourbon(波旁威士忌)is a rather oily spirit made from corn. Rye (黑麦) whiskey is called “rye” and Scotch whiskey “Scotch”.WineIn bars wine can often be bought by the glass. Don’t be misled by names. “Chablis” is used to refer to white wine, and “Burgundy” to red—Americans seem never to have heard of white Burgundy.21.( ) Limits on drinking in the US are the strictest in the world.22.( ) Alcohol in some states can be sold if they are not very strong.23.( ) In many states people are not allowed to drink alcohol while driving buttheycan keep opened alcohol bottles in the car.24.( ) The legal drinking age in the US is between 18 and 21.25.( ) Americans often show their driving licenses if asked for identification whenthey get into a bar.26.( ) You are requested to clarify how much you want when you order beer.27.( ) Many stores and bars offer a wide variety of beer from all over the world.28.If you say “straight up” when ordering cocktail in the US, you mean you wantit_____________29.In America, “whiskey” usually refers to a kind of o ily spirit made from__________________.30.“Rye” is another name for _______________________________III. Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (20 marks, 2 marks each) Directions: There are 2 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are fourchoices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice andmark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single linethrough the center.Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Nursing at Beth Israel Hospital produces the best patient care possible. If we are to solve the nursing shortage, hospital administration and doctors everywhere would do well to follow Beth Israel’s example.At Beth Israel each patient is assigned to a primary nurse who visits at length with the patient and constructs a full-scale health account that covers everything from his medical history to his emotional state. Then she writes a care plan centered on the patient’s illnes s but which also includes everything else that is necessary.The primary nurse stays with the patient through the hospitalization, keeping track with his progress and seeking further advice from his doctor. If a patient at Beth Israel is not responding to treatment, it is not uncommon for his nurse to propose another approach to his doctor. What the doctor at Beth Israel has in the primary nurse is a true colleague.Nursing at Beth Israel also involves a decentralized(分散的) nursing administration. Every floor, every unit is a self-contained organization. There are nurse-managers instead of head nurses. In addition to their medical duties they do all their own hiring and dismissing, employee advising, and they make salary recommendations. Each unit’s nurses decide among themselves who will work what shifts and when.Beth Israel’s nurse-in-chief ranks as an equal with other vice presidents of the hospital. She is also a member of the Medical Executive Committee, which in most hospitals includes only doctors.31. Which of the following best characterizes the main feature of the nursing systemat Beth Israel Hospital?A. The doctor gets more active professional support from the primary nurse.B. Each patient is taken care of by a primary nurse day and night.C. The primary nurse writes care plans for every patient.D. The primary nurse keeps records of the patient’s health conditions every day.32. It can be inferred from the passage that_________.A. compared with other hospitals nurses at Beth Israel Hospital are more patientB. in most hospitals patient care is inadequate from the professional point of viewC. in most hospitals nurses get low salariesD. compared with other hospitals nurses have to work longer hours at Beth IsraelHospital33. A primary nurse can propose different approach of treatment when_________.A. the present one is refused by the patientB. the patient complains about the present oneC. the present one proves to be ineffectiveD. the patient is found unwilling to cooperate34. The main difference between a nurse-manager and a head nurse is that theformer________.A. is a member of the Medical Executive Committee of the hospitalB. has to arrange the work shifts of the unit’s nursesC. can make decisions concerning the medical treatment of a patientD. has full responsibility in the administration of the unit’s nurses35. The author’s attitude towards the nursing system at Beth Israel Hospitalis_________.A. negativeB. neutralC. criticalD. positiveQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.The quality of university life is declining under strain from the higher education, leading independent schools in Britain complaining. The warning followed survey of the impressions of campus life gained by students of school. Poor interviewing of theapplicants, infrequent contacts with tutors, worries over student safety, and even complaint over the food were all seen as symptoms of the pressure on universities. Head teachers said that standards could well drop if the squeeze on universities budgets continued. A survey was carried out because of fears that the level of green area in universities had declined. A great number of student suicides had raised concerns among head teachers.Although most of the 6,000 students surveyed were enjoying university life, almost a third were less than satisfied with their course. About one in ten had serious financial problems and some give alarming accounts of conditions around their halls of their residence. Incidents mentioned included a fatal stabbing and shooting outside a hall of residence, the petrol bombing of cars near another residence, and two racist attacks. Nine percent of women and seven percent of men rated security as unsatisfactory in the area where they lived. Stanford University had the lowest satisfaction rating. Lancaster and Kinston universities were rated the safest.The survey conf irmed head teachers’ fears about contact between students and tutors slipping, with a quarter of the students seeing their tutors only every three weeks. New students, used to regular contact with their teachers, found it hard to adapt to the change. Interview techniques were a cause for concern, with the school calling for more training of the university staff involved in admissions. Some headmasters complained that interviews were increasingly “odd”. One greeted an applicant by throwing him an apple. Another interview lasted only three minutes. About a quarter of the students found the workload at university heavier than they had expected. Imperial College London, Oxford, and Cambridge universities registered by far the highest workload.

Part III Reading Comprehension(40minutes) Section ADirections:In this section,thereis a passage with ten blanks.You are required to select one wordfor each blank from a list of c hoices given in a word bankfollowing the passage.Read the passage through carefully before making your choices.Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter.Please mark the corresponding letter f or each item on Answer Sheet2with a single line through the centre.You may not use any of t he words in the bank more than once.Over the coming decades,millions of j obs will be threatened by robotics and artificial intelligence.Despite intensive academic26on these developments,there has been little study on how workers27to being replaced through technologyTo find out,business researchers at TUM and Erasmus University Rotterdam conducted11studies and surveys with over2,000persons from several countries.The findings show:In principle,most people view it more28when workers are replaced by other people than by robots or intelligent software.This preference29however,when it refers to people's own jobs When that is the case,the majority of workers find it less upsetting to see their own jobs go to robots than to other employees.In the long term,however,the same people see machines as more threatening to their future role in the workforce.These effects can also be observed among people who have recently become unemployed.The researchers were able to identify the causes behind these30paradoxica results,too:Peopletend to31themselves less with machines than with other people.Consequently,being replaced by a robotor so ftware32less of a threat to their feeling of self-worth.This reduced self-threat could even be observedwhe n participants assumed that they were being replaced by other employees who relied on technological abilities such as artificial intelligence in their work."Even when unemployment results from the33of new technologies,people still judge it in a social context,"says Christoph Fuchs,one of the authors of the study."It is important to understand these34effects when trying to manage the massive changes in the working world to minimize35in

O)seeminglyH)guaranteeSection BDirections:In this section,you are going to read a p assage with ten statements attached to it.E ach statement contains information given in one of t he paragraphs.Identify the paragraph f rom which the information is derived.You may choose a paragraph more than once.Each paragraph is marked with a letter.Answer the questions by marking the correspondingletter on Answer Sheet2.No escape as'snow day!becomes fe-learning day'A)C ertain institutions,such as schools,are likely to close when bad weather,such as snow,flooding or extremeheat or cold,causes travel difficulties,power outages(断供),or otherwise endangers public safety.When snowy weather arrives in the US,it means the chance of school children benefiting from the long-standing tradition of t he"snow day",when schools are forced to close and students get an unexpected day offB)The criterion for a snow day is primarily the inability of school buses to operate safely on their routes anddanger to children who walk to school.Often,the school remains officially open even though buses do not run and classes arecanceled.Severe weather that causes cancellation or delayis more likely in regions that are less able to handle the situation.Snow days are less common in more northern areas of t he United States that are used to heavy winter snowfall,because municipalities are well equipped to clear roads and remove snow.In areas less accustomed to snow even small snowfalls of a n inch ortwo may render roads unsafe.C)S now days are a familiar theme in American film and TV shows,with children getting the good news andthen running outside for some seasonal snowman-building and snowball throwing,against a background ofjoyful pop music.But the tradition is now over for pupils in several US states such as South Carolina, Nevada,Georgia and Indiana.This academic year,many school boards have introduced policies which require students to work from home if t he school is shut by snow or extreme weather.They are known as t4e-leaming days",which certainly sounds less fon than a snow day.D)T eachers are also losing their snow days and instead will be expected to be on hand to take a virtual registerand answer students'questions online.A pilot programme in a school district in Anderson County,South Carolina,has supplied students with electronic tablets loaded with assignments to complete in the event of a school closure.If it is successful,it could be rolled out across the state.E)But some parents object to the new policy if t he vigorous debate on the Facebook page of A nderson Countyschool district is anything to go by."When it snows,let the kids enjoy it,"said one commenter.Another said the decision would"ruin school even more",and someone else called snow days"a fun part of c hildhood,^.But supporters of t he policy say it means children will miss fewer days of school.lt will also bring to an enda less popular US high school tradition:the“make-up day?,,which requires students in many states to makeup the time lost due to weatherby working during school holidays.-2024年6月四级真题第三套)-2)F) S tudents in North Carolina already have several make-up days scheduled because of school closures duringHurricane Florence,which struck in September.Tom Wilson,the superintendent(i^)of Anderson County school district,said the change away from snow days makes practical and financial sense.He said technology has changed every profession,so it makes sense to use it to^eliminate^make-up days.Adam Baker of the Department of Education in Indiana said e-learning days were proving a cc great success,^.He said most Indiana schools already use digital devices during lessons,so it was an cc easy decision^to extend this to days when schools are closed.He denies the decision is depriving children of the chance to enjoy the snow."Students are still able to enjoy snow days and outside time,"he said."Many have PE and science assignments that have them out enjoying the weather.^But local school superintendents in Ohio are resisting proposals to adopt e-learning days.They fear that students without internet access at home will be disadvantaged by the policy,and superintendent Tom Roth is concerned that e-learning days will offer a lower quality of education.G)T here are also so-called tc blizzard bags",with assignments that children take home ahead of an expected snowclosure.But Mr Roth says it is not sufficient as a replacement/!think we still need the class time to give our kids the education that they deserve,^he said."Youcan't get that with a blizzard bag or doing the work from home like that.If s not going to be as effective.H) T here is a long-running debate on whether missing days of school affects attainment.In England,there hasbeen a focus on tackling absenteeism(0T from school.The Department for Education(DFE)published research in2016arguing that missing any days at school could have a negative impact on results.Even a few days lost in a year could be enough to miss out on getting a good exam grade,the DFE's research concluded.This differed from the findings of a study from Harvard University in the US,which concluded that missing a few occasional days because of t he weather did not damage learning.I)The Harvard study examined seven years of school results data and could not find any impact from snowclosures.What caused moredisruption was when schools tried to stay open in bad weather,even though many staff and pupils were absent.But weather can make a difference to school results,according to another piece of Harvard research published last summer.Ifs hot weather that has the negative impact.The results of 10million school students were examined over13years and researchers found a^significanfUink between years with extremely hotweather and lower results.J)I fs obvious that students should go to school every day to get the most out of education.I n cases of extreme weather students don't always have that option.However,research shows that authorised absences from school such as during extreme weather are less problematic for students than absences that are not authorised.This is because unauthorised absences tend to reflect patterns and behaviours of student disengagement,or the possible negative attitudes of parents towards education that students adopt and carry with them through schooling.The level of impact on students f educational performance is all to do with the length of time that a student is absent from school and how regularly this occurs.36.There is opposition to the practice of giving children assignments to take home before extreme weather forcesa school closure.37.N ew policies adopted by many US schools require students to do online learning at home in case of a schoolclosure38.A ccording to some research,extreme hot weather negatively affects students^erfbrmance.39.There is a time-honoured tradition in the US fbr school kids to stay at home on^snow days".21.202仰6月四级真题(M三套).40.Debates on social media show some parents are opposed to ending the^snowday^tradition.41.In more northern regions of t he US,school is less likely to be affected by snowy weather.42.R esearch indicates absences from school with permission do not cause as many problems as those withoutpermission.43.T here is objection to e-learning days owing to fear that students with no access to the Internet at home willsuffer44.In a pilot programme,students are given electronic devices to doassignments when schools areclosed.45.A long-standing debate is going on over the impact of school absences on students^cademic performance.Section CDirections:There are2passages in this section.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are f our choices marked A),B),C)and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet2with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions46to50are based on the following passage.It may sound surprising,but you don't have to be interested in fashion,or even in history,to enjoy Dress Codes:H ow the Laws of F ashion Made History.I happen to be interested in both,and ended up enjoying the book for completely different reasons.Richard Thompson Ford is a law professor,and you probably won't forget that for even one page.His carefully reasoned arguments,packed with examples,sound almost like reading a court opinion,only maybe wordier.Y ou will probably never think of fashion as a trifle again.Ford's thesis is that the best way to understand what particular fashions meant in any given era is to look at the restrictions placed on them.Through this lens,he shows us that the first laws passed in the1200s to ensure that only the nobility were allowed to wear certain fabrics,colors and ornaments reflected the rise of the middle class,who were now able to imitate some of these fashions.The status of the upper classes was threatened; fashion was a tool to preserve it.Ford takes the reader through the evolution of fashion while examining the underlying motivations of status sex,power,and personality,which,he assumes,influenced all innovations in fashion in the past and which continue to influence us today.His writing is more than alittle dense—dense with research,clauses,and precise adjectives and nouns.But there's also humor and enough interesting episodes to make the writing appealing.No one is spared his sharp analysis:not the easy targets of19th century women's crippling(伤害身体的)fashions nor the modem uniforms of Silicon Valley T-shirts.But the greatest strength of this book(on fashion!)is its intellectual profoundness.Ford asks us to question unconscious beliefs,to realize thatwe almost never do so,to understand that the simplest choices are charged with meaning,and yet that meaning can and does change all thetime.Consider the fact that a1918catalog insisted that boys and girls be dressed in the appropriate color.We believe our thinking today is evolved;Ford shows us it's not.46.W hat does the author think of t he book Dress Codes:How the Laws of F ashion Made History?A)I t is read by people fbr entirely different reasonsB) I t is meant fbr those interested in fashion history.202砰6月四级真题三套).22C)I t makes enjoyable as well as informative reading.D)I t converts fashion into something fbr deliberation.47.H ow can people best understand a particular fashion in an era,according to Ford?A)B y examining the restraints imposed on it.C)By glancing at its fabrics,colors and ornaments.B)B y looking at what the nobility were wearing.D)By doing a survey of t he upper and middle classes.48. W hat was the aim of t he first laws passed regarding fashion in the1200s?A)T o facilitate the rise of the middle class C)To help initiate some novel fashions.B)T o loosen restrictions on dress codes.D)To preserve the status of the nobles.49. W hat does the author think of Ford's writing?A)I t uses comparison and contrast in describing fashions of different erasB)I t makes heavy reading but is not lacking in humor or appealC)It is filled with interesting episodes to spare readers intolerable boredom.D)I t is characteristic of academics in presenting arguments.50.W hat does the author say is the greatest strength of F ord's book?A)P lentiful information.C)Evolved thinkingB)M eaningful choices.D)Intellectual depthPassage TwoQuestions51to55are based on the followingpassage.The art of p ersuasion means convincing others to agree with your point of view or to follow your course of action.For some ofus,persuasion is an instinctive quality and the power of influencing comes naturally.For the rest of u s,persuasion skills can be learned and developed over time.Employers place a great value on employees with persuasion skills because they can impact several aspects of j ob perfbrmance.Besides,teamwork and leadership rely heavily on the power of persuasion to get things done.Without persuasion skills,employees may not be as committed to or convinced of the importance of an organization^vision and long-term mission.Effective use of persuasion skills will not only help get your coworkers excited about your ideas,ifll also help you motivate them to achieve a common goal.In order to learn the art of persuasion at the workplace,you need to understand how to handle conflicts and reach agreements.Good communication is the first step in effective persuasion,but logic and reasoning are just as important.Befbre you can get somebody on-board with your goal,you should help them understand why they should pursue ing visual aids to back up your ideas can help communicate your ideas better and make compelling arguments so your listeners will come to a logical choice and become fully committed to your ideas and plans.Successful persuasion skills are based on your ability to have positive interactions and maintain meaningful relationships with people.In order to sustain thoserelationships,you must be able to work in their best interests as well.Your coworkers are more likely to agree with you when they succeed alongside you.The more they achieve and the greaterprogress they make,the more they trust your judgement and strength.We persuade and get persuaded every daywe're either convincing or being convinced.A vast majority of people prefer collaboration and teamwork over traditional organizational structures;no one likes to be told what to do or to be pushed around.Therefore,organizations and leaders should adopt powerful persuasion skills to bring about necessary changes.23.202砰6月四级真题三套).51.What does the author say about the ability to be persuasive in the first paragraph?A)P eople may either be born with it or be able to cultivate it.B) I t proves crucial in making others follow one's course of action.C)It refers to the natural and instinctive power of influencing one!s coworkers.D)P eople may view it as both a means to convince others and an art of communication.52.Why are persuasion skills greatly valued in the workplace?A)T hey enable employees to be convinced oftheir long-term gains.B) T hey enable employees to trust their leaders unconditionally.C)They help motivate coworkers to strive for a common goal.D)T hey help an organization to broaden its vision effectively.53.W hat should people do to learn the art of p ersuasion atthe workplace?A)A cquire effective communication skills.C)Understand the reason for pursuing their goalsB) A void getting involved in conflicts with others.D)Commit themselves fully to their ideas and plans54.W hen are you more likely to succeed in persuading your coworkers?A)W hen they are convinced you work in their interests while sacrificing your own.B)W hen they become aware of the potential strength of t he judgements you make.C)When they become aware of t he meaningful relationships you keep with them.D)W hen they are convinced they will make achievements together with you.55.W hy are organizations and leaders advised to adopt powerful persuasion skills to bring about necessarychanges?A)T o convince employees of t he value of collaboration.B)T o allow for the preferences of m ost people of t odayC)To improve on traditional organizational structuresD)T o adapt to employees'ever-changing working styles.Part IV Translation(30minutes) Directions:For this part,you are allowed30minutes to translate a passage f rom Chinese into English.You should write y our answer on Answer Sheet2.汉语中的“福”字(the character fU)表示幸福和好运,是中国传统文化中最常用的吉祥(auspicious符号之一。

You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Physical activity does the body good, and there's growing evidence that it helps the brain too. Researchers in the Netherlands report that children who get more exercise, whether at school or on their own, 26 to have higher GPAs and better scores on standardized tests. In a 27 of 14 studies that looked at physical activity and academic 28 , investigators found that the more children moved, the better their grades were in school, 29 in the basic subjects of math, English and reading.The data will certainly fuel the ongoing debate over whether physical education classes should be cut as schools struggle to 30on smaller budgets. The arguments against physical education have included concerns that gym time may be taking away from study time. With standardized test scores in the U.S. 31in recent years, some administrators believe students need to spend more time in the classroom instead of on the playground. But as these findings show, exercise and academics may not be 32 exclusive. Physical activity can improve blood 33 to the brain, fueling memory, attention and creativity, which are 34 to learning. Andexercise releases hormones that can improve 35 and relieve stress, which can also help learning. So while it may seem as if kids are just exercising their bodies when they're runningSection BDirections: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Finding the Right Home—and Contentment, Too[A] When your elderly relative needs to enter some sort of long-term care facility—a moment fewparents or children approach without fear—what you would like is to have everything made clear.[B] Does assisted living really mark a great improvement over a nursing home, or has the industrysimply hired better interior designers? Are nursing homes as bad as people fear, or is that an out-moded stereotype(固定看法)? Can doing one's homework really steer families to the best places? It is genuinely hard to know.[C] I am about to make things more complicated by suggesting that what kind of facility an olderperson lives in may matter less than we have assumed. And that the characteristics adult children look for when they begin the search are not necessarily the things that make a difference to the people who are going to move in. I am not talking about the quality of care, let me hastily add. Nobody flourishes in a gloomy environment with irresponsible staff and a poor safety record. But an accumulating body of research indicates that some distinctions between one type of elder care and another have little real bearing on how well residents do.[D] The most recent of these studies, published in The journal of Applied Gerontology, surveyed150 Connecticut residents of assisted living, nursing homes and smaller residential care homes(known in some states as board and care homes or adult care homes). Researchers from the University of Connecticut Health Center asked the residents a large number of questions about their quality of life, emotional well-being and social interaction, as well as about the quality of the facilities.[E] “We thought we would see differences based on the housing types,” said the lead author of thestudy, Julie Robison, an associate professor of medicine at the university. A reasonable assumption—don't families struggle to avoid nursing homes and suffer real guilt if they can't?[F] In the initial results, assisted living residents did paint the most positive picture. They wereless likely to report symptoms of depression than those in the other facilities, for instance, and less likely to be bored or lonely. They scored higher on social interaction.[G] But when the researchers plugged in a number of other variables, such differences disappeared.It is not the housing type, they found, that creates differences in residents' responses. “It is the characteristics of the specific environment they are in, combined with their own personal characteristics—how healthy they feel they are, their age and marital status,” Dr. Robisonexplained. Whether residents felt involved in the decision to move and how long they had lived there also proved significant.[H] An elderly person who describes herself as in poor health, therefore, might be no lessdepressed in assisted living(even if her children preferred it) than in a nursing home. A person who had input into where he would move and has had time to adapt to it might do as well in a nursing home as in a small residential care home, other factors being equal. It is an interaction between the person and the place, not the sort of place in itself, that leads to better or worse experiences. “You can't just say, 'Let's put this person in a residential care home instead of a nursing home—she will be much better off,'” Dr. Robison said. What matters, she added, “is a combination of what people bring in with them, and what they find there.”[I] Such findings, which run counter to common sense, have surfaced before. In a multi-state studyof assisted living, for instance, University of North Carolina researchers found that a host of variables—the facility's type, size or age;whether a chain owned it;how attractive the neighborhood was—had no significant relationship to how the residents fared in terms of illness, mental decline, hospitalizations or mortality. What mattered most was the residents' physical health and mental status. What people were like when they came in had greater consequence than what happened once they were there.[J] As I was considering all this, a press release from a respected research firm crossed my desk, announcing that the five-star rating system that Medicare developed in 2008 to help families compare nursing home quality also has little relationship to how satisfied its residents or their family members are. As a matter of fact, consumers expressed higher satisfaction with the one-star facilities, the lowest rated, than with the five-star ones.(More on this study and the star ratings will appear in a subsequent post.)[K] Before we collectively tear our hair out—how are we supposed to find our way in a landscape this confusing?—here is a thought from Dr. Philip Sloane, a geriatrician(⽼年病学专家)at the University of North Carolina:“In a way, that could be liberating for families.”[L] Of course, sons and daughters want to visit the facilities, talk to the administrators and residents and other families, and do everything possible to fulfill their duties. But perhaps they don't have to turn themselves into private investigators or Congressional subcommittees.“Families can look a bit more for where the residents are going to be happy,” Dr. Sloane said.And involving the future resident in the process can be very important.[M] We all have our own ideas about what would bring our parents happiness. They have their ideas, too. A friend recently took her mother to visit an expensive assisted living/nursing home near my town. I have seen this place—it is elegant, inside and out. But nobody greeted the daughter and mother when they arrived, though the visit had been planned;nobody introduced them to the other residents. When they had lunch in the dining room, they sat alone at a table.[N] The daughter feared her mother would be ignored there, and so she decided to move her into a more welcoming facility. Based on what is emerging from some of this research, that might have been as rational a way as any to reach a decision. 36.Many people feel guilty when they cannot find a place other than a nursing home for theirparents.37.Though it helps for children to investigate care facilities, involving their parents in thedecision-making process may prove very important.38.It is really difficult to tell if assisted living is better than a nursing home.39.How a resident feels depends on an interaction between themselves and the care facility theylive in.40.The author thinks her friend made a rational decision in choosing a more hospitable place overan apparently elegant assisted living home.41.The system Medicare developed to rate nursing home quality is of little help to finding asatisfactory place.42.At first the researchers of the most recent study found residents in assisted living facilities gavehigher scores on social interaction.43.What kind of care facility old people live in may be less important than we think.44.The findings of the latest research were similar to an earlier multi-state study of assisted living.45.A resident's satisfaction with a care facility has much to do with whether they had participatedin the decision to move in and how long they had stayed there.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.As Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly sophisticated, there are growing concerns that robots could become a threat. This danger can be avoided, according to computer science professor Stuart Russell, if we figure out how to turn human values into a programmable code.Russell argues that as robots take on more complicated tasks, it's necessary to translate our morals into AI language.For example, if a robot does chores around the house, you wouldn't want it to put the pet cat in the oven to make dinner for the hungry children. “You would want that robot preloaded with a good set of values,” said Russell.Some robots are already programmed with basic human values. For example, mobile robots have been programmed to keep a comfortable distance from humans. Obviously there are cultural differences, but if you were talking to another person and they came up close in your personal space, you wouldn't think that's the kind of thing a properly brought-up person would do.It will be possible to create more sophisticated moral machines, if only we can find a way to set out human values as clear rules.Robots could also learn values from drawing patterns from large sets of data on human behavior. They are dangerous only if programmers are careless.The biggest concern with robots going against human values is that human beings fail to do sufficient testing and they've produced a system that will break some kind of taboo(禁忌).One simple check would be to program a robot to check the correct course of action with a human when presented with an unusual situation.If the robot is unsure whether an animal is suitable for the microwave, it has the opportunity to stop, send out beeps(嘟嘟声), and ask for directions from a human. If we humans aren't quite sure about a decision, we go and ask somebody else.The most difficult step in programming values will be deciding exactly what we believe in moral, and how to create a set of ethical rules. But if we come up with an answer, robots could be good for humanity.46.What does the author say about the threat of robots?A)It may constitute a challenge to computer programmers.B)It accompanies all machinery involving high technology.C)It can be avoided if human values are translated into their language.D)It has become an inevitable peril as technology gets more sophisticated.47.What would we think of a person who invades our personal space according to the author?A)They are aggressive. B)They are outgoing.C)They are ignorant. D)They are ill-bred.48.How do robots learn human values?A)By interacting with humans in everyday life situations.B)By following the daily routines of civilized human beings.C)By picking up patterns from massive data on human behavior.D)By imitating the behavior of property brought-up human beings.49.What will a well-programmed robot do when facing an unusual situation?A)Keep a distance from possible dangers. B)Stop to seek advice from a human being.C)Trigger its built-in alarm system at once. D)Do sufficient testing before taking action.50.What is most difficult to do when we turn human values into a programmable code?A)Determine what is moral and ethical. B)Design some large-scale experiments.C)Set rules for man-machine interaction. D)Develop a more sophisticated program. Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Why do some people live to be older than others? You know the standard explanations: keeping a moderate diet, engaging in regular exercise, etc. But what effect does your personality have on your longevity(长寿)?Do some kinds of personalities lead to longer lives? A new study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society looked at this question by examining the personality characteristics of 246 children of people who had lived to be at least 100.The study shows that those living the longest are more outgoing, more active and less neurotic (神经质的) than other people. Long-living women are also more likely to be sympathetic and cooperative than women with a normal life span. These findings are in agreement with what you would expect from the evolutionary theory: those who like to make friends and help others can gather enough resources to make it through tough times.Interestingly, however, other characteristics that you might consider advantageous had no impact on whether study participants were likely to live longer. Those who were more self-disciplined, for instance, were no more likely to live to be very old. Also, being open to new ideas had no relationship to long life, which might explain all those bad-tempered old people who are fixed in their ways.Whether you can successfully change your personality as an adult is the subject of a longstanding psychological debate. But the new paper suggests that if you want long life, you should strive to be as outgoing as possible.Unfortunately, another recent study shows that your mother's personality may also help determine your longevity. That study looked at nearly 28,000 Norwegian mothers and found thatthose moms who were more anxious, depressed and angry were more likely to feed their kids unhealthy diets. Patterns of childhood eating can be hard to break when we're adults, which may mean that kids of depressed moms end up dying younger.Personality isn't destiny(命运), and everyone knows that individuals can learn to change. But both studies show that long life isn't just a matter of your physical health but of your mental health.51. The aim of the study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society is____.A)to see whether people's personality affects their life spanB)to find out if one's lifestyle has any effect on their healthC)to investigate the role of exercise in living a long lifeD)to examine all the factors contributing to longevity52. What does the author imply about outgoing and sympathetic people?A)They have a good understanding of evolution.B)They are better at negotiating an agreement.C)They generally appear more resourceful.D)They are more likely to get over hardship.53. What finding of the study might prove somewhat out of our expectation?A)Easy-going people can also live a relatively long life.B)Personality characteristics that prove advantageous actually vary with times.C)Such personality characteristics as self-discipline have no effect on longevity.D)Readiness to accept new ideas helps one enjoy longevity.54. What does the recent study of Norwegian mothers show?A)Children's personality characteristics are invariably determined by their mothers.B)People with unhealthy eating habits are likely to die sooner.C)Mothers' influence on children may last longer than fathers'.D)Mothers' negative personality characteristics may affect their children's life spans.55.What can we learn from the findings of the two new studies?A)Anxiety and depression more often than not cut short one's life span.B)Longevity results from a combination of mental and physical health.C)Personality plays a decisive role in how healthy one is.D)Health is in large part related to one's lifestyle.Part IV TranslationDirections:For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English. You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2.功夫(Kong Fu) 是中国武术(martial arts)的俗称。

Unit 4I am master of Branford College at Yale .I live on the campus and know the students well.(We have 485of them.)I listen to their piercing cries in the dead of night (“Dose anybody care?”).They come to me to ask how to get through the rest of their lives.Mainly I try to remind them that the road ahead is a long one and that it will have more unexpected turns than they think. There will be plenty of time to change jobs, change careers, change whole attitudes and approaches .They don’t want to hear such news. They want a map-right now-that they can follow directly to career security, financial security, social security and, presumably, a prepaid grave.What I wish for all students is some release from the grim of the future. I wish them a chance to enjoy each segment of their education as an experience in itself and nor as a tiresome requirement in preparation for the next step. I wish them the right to experiment, to trip and fall ,to learn that defeat is as educational as victory and is not the end of the world.My wish, of course, is naïve. One of the few rights that America does not proclaim is the right to fail。

Once upon a time, they weren't even boxes. As schools have changed in the past century, the midday meal container has evolved right along with them.D)Let's start b,a ck at the beginning of the 20th century-the beginning of the lunch box story, really._While there were neighborhood schools in cities and suburbs, one-room schoolhouses were common in rural areas. As grandparents have been saying for generations, kids would travel miles to school in the countryside (often on foot).E)"You had kids in rural areas who couldn't go home from school for lunch, so bringing your lunchwrapped in a cloth' in oiled paper, in a little wooden box or something like that was a .v ery longstanding rural tradition," says Paula Johnson, ·h ead of food history section at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History in Washington, D. C.F)City kids, on the other hand, went home for lunch and came back. Since they rarely carried a-meal,the few metal lunch buckets on the market were mainly for tradesmen and factory workers.G)After World War II, a bunch of changes reshaped school�and lunches. More women joined theworkforce� Small schools c n solidated into larger ones, meaning more students were farther away from home.: And the National School Lunch Act in 1946 made cafeterias much ·m ore common. Still, there wasn't much of a market for lunch containers-yet. Students who carried their lun c h often did so in a re-purposed bucket or tin of so�e kind.H)' And then�verything changed in the year of 1950. You might as well call it.the Year of the Lunch Box,thanks in -large part to a genius move by a Nashville-based manufacturer, Aladdin Industries. The company already made square metal meal containers, the kind workers carried, and some had started to show up·in the hands of school kids.I)But these containers were really durable, lasting years on end. That was great for the consumer, not somuch for the manufacturer. So executives at Aladdin hit on an idea that would harness the newfound popularity of television. They covered lunch boxes with·striking red paint and added a picture of TV and radio cowboy Hopalong Cassidy on the front.J)The company sold 600,000 units the first year. It was a major" Ah-ha!" moment, and a wave of other manufacturers jumped on board to capitalize on new TV shows and movies. "The Partridge Family,the Addams Family, the Six Million Dollar Man, the Bionic Woman-everything that was on television ended up on a lunch box," says Allen Woodall. He's the founder of the Lunch Box Museum inC lumbus, Georgia. "It was a great marketing tool because kids were taking that TV show to schoolwith them, and then when they got home they had them captured back on TV," he says.K)And yes, you read that right: There is a lunch box museum, right near the Chattahoochee River.: Woodall has more than 2,000 items on display. His favorite? The Green.H ornet lunch box, because he used to listen to the radio show back in the 1940s.L)The new trend was also a great example of planned obsolesce n ce, that is, to design a product so that it will soon become unfashionable or impossible to use and will need replacing. Kids would beg for a new lunch box every year to keep up with the newest characters, even if their old lunch box was perfectly_ .usable.M)The metal lunch box craze lasted until the mid-1980s, when plastic took over. Two theories exist as to why. The first-and most likely-is that plastic had simply become cheaper. The second theorypossibly an urban myth-is that concerned parents in several states proposed bans on metal lunch boxes, claiming kids were us i ng them as "weapo n s" to hit one another. There's a lot on the internet about a state-wide ban in Florida, but a few days worth of digging by a historian at the Florida State Historical Society found no such legislation. Either way, the metal lunch box was out.N)The last few decades have brought a new lunch box revolution, of sorts. Plastic boxes changed to lined cloth sacks, and eventually, globalism brought tif fin containers from India and bento boxes from Japan. Even the old metal lunch boxes have regained popularity. "I don't think the heyday (�Jl:,e,J-Jl}J) has passed," says D .J. Jayasekara, owner and founder of lunchbox. com, a retailer in Pasadena, California. "I think it has evolved. The days of the ready-made, 'you stick it in a lunch box and carry it to school' are kind of done."0)Th e introduction of backpacks changed the lunch box scene a bit, he adds. Once kids started carryingbook bags, that bulky traditional lun�h box was hard to fit inside. "But you can't just throw a sandwich in a backpack," Jayasekara says. "It still has to go into a container." That is, in part, why smaller and softer containers have taken off-they fit into backpacks.P)And don't worry-whether it's a plastic bento box or a cloth bag, lunch containers can still easily be covered with popular culture. "We keep pace with the movie industries so we can predict which characters are going to be popular for the coming months," Jayasekara says. "You know, kids are kids."36.Lunch containers were not necessary for school kids in cities.37.Putting TV characters on lunch boxes proved an effective marketing strategy.38.Smaller lunch boxes are preferred because they fit easily.into backpacks.39.Lunch boxes have evolved along with the transformation of schools.40.Around the beginning of the nineteen fifties, some school kids started to use metal meal containers.41.School kids are eager to get a new lunch box every year to stay in fashion.42.Rural kids used to walk a long way to school in the old days.43.The author was proud of using a lunch box in her childhood.44.The most probable reason for the popularity of plastic lunch boxes is that they are less expensive.45.The durability of metal meal containers benefited consumers.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or un finished statements. For each of them t here are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following pas.gge.A growing number of U.S. bike riders are attracted to electric·bikes for convenience, health benefits and their fun factor. Although ebikes first appeared in the 90s, cheaper options and longer-lasting batteries are breathing new,life into the concept.Established bike·companies and startups are embracing ebikes to meet demand. About 34 million ebikes were sold worldwide last year, according to data from eCycleElectric Co n sultants. Most were sold in Europe and China, where the bikes already have exploded in popularity. Recently, the U.S. market has grown to 263,000 bikes, a 25 %gain from the prior year.The industry is benefiting from improved batteries as suppliers over the years developed technology for laptops, smartphones and electric cars. In 2004, the price of batteries used on ebikes fell, spurring European sales.But lower cost options ai'e emerging, too. This month, three U.S. bikeshare companies, Motivate, LimeBike and Spin, announced electric bicycles will be added to their fleets. New York-based Jump Bikes is already operating an electric bikeshare in Washington, D. C., and is launching in San Francisco Thursday. Rides cost $ 2 for 30 minutes.The system works like existing dockless bikeshare systems, where riders unlock bikes through a smartphone app. "This is the beginning of a long-term shift away from regular pedal (1$-�) to electric bikes," said Jump Bikes CEO Ryan Rzepecki. "When people first jump on an ebike, their face lights up. It's exciting and joyful in a way that you don't get from a regular bike."Two years ago, CEO Chris Cocalis of Pivot Cycles, which sells high-end mountain bikes, found that U.S. bike shops weren't interested in stocking ebikes. Some retailers warned Cocalis that they'd drop the brand if it cam e out with an electric bike.Now that sales are taking off, the vast majority of bike dealers are asking Cocalis when he'll make an ebike available. -"There's tremendous opportunity to get a generation of people fot whom suffering_isn't their thing," Cocalis said. "Ebike riders get the enjoyable part of cycling without the mass i ve suffering of climbing huge hills. "46.What do we learn from the passage about ebikes?A)Their health benefits and fun values outweigh their cost.B)They did not catch public attention in the United States until the -1990s.C)They did not become popular until the emergence of improved batteries.D)Their widespread use is attributable to people's environmental awareness.47.What brought about the boost in ebike sales in Europe at the beginning of the century?A)Updated technology of bike manufacture.B)The falling prices of ebike batteries.C)Changed fashion in short-distance travel.D)The rising costs for making electric cars.48.What is the prospect of the bike industry according to Ryan Rzepecki?A)More will be invested in bike battery research.B)The sales of ebikes will increase.C)It will profit from ebike sharing.D)It will make a difference in people's daily lives.49.What prevented Chris Cocalis from developing ebikes sooner?A)Retailers' refusal to deal in ebikes.B)High profits from conventional bikes.C)Users' co n cern about risks of ebike riding.D)His focus on selling costly mountain bikes.50.What makes Chris Cocalis believe there is a greater opportunity for ebike sales?A)The further lowering of ebike prices.B)The public's concern for their health.C)The increasing interest in mountain climbing.D)The younger generation's pursuit of comfortable riding.Passage 1\voQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following p;mage.The terms "global warming" and "climate change" are used by many, seemingly interchangeably. But do they really mean the same thing?Scientists shaped the history of the terms while attempting ·to accurately describe how humans continue to alter the planet. Later, political strategists adopted the terms to influence public opinion.In 1975, geochemist Wallace Broecker introduced the term "climate change"·in an article published by Sc i ence. In 1979, a National Academy of Sciences report used the term "global warming" to define increases in the Earth's average surface temperature, while "climate change" more broadly referred to the numerous effects of this increase, such as sea-level rise and ocean acidification (it �t,).During the following decades, some industrialists and politicians launched a campaign to sow doubt in the minds of the American public about the ability of fossil-fuel use, deforestation and other human activities to influence the planet's climate.Word use played a critical role in developing that doubt. For example, the language and polls expert Frank Luntz wrote a memo encouraging the use of "climate change" because the phrase sounded less scary than "global warming," reported the Guardian.However, Luntz's recommendation wasn't necessary. A Google Ngram Viewer chart shows that by 1993 climate change was already more commonly used in books than global warming. By the end of the next decade both words were used more frequently, and climate change was used nearly twice as of t en as global warming.NASA used the term "climate change" because it more accurately reflects the wide range of changes to the planet caused by increasing amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.The debate isn't new. A century ago, chemist Svante Arrhenius started one of the first debates over the potential for humans to influence the planet's climate. Arrhenius calculated the capability of carbon dioxide to trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, but other chemists disagreed. Some argued that humans weren't producing enough greenhouse gases, while others claimed the effects would be tiny. Now, ofcourse, we know that whatever you call it, human behavior is warming the planet, with grave consequences ahead.51.Why did politic�ans use the two terms "global warming'' and "climate change"?A)To sway public opinion of the impact of human activities on Earth.B)To more accurately describe the consequences of human activities.C)To win more popular votes in their campaign activities.D)To assure the public of the safety of existing industries.52.As used in a National Academy of Sciences report, the term "climate change" differs from "globalwarming'' in that ___A)it sounds less vagueC)it covers more phenomena B)it looks more scientificD)it is much closer to reality 53.What did industrialists of the late 20th century resort to in order to mislead Americans?A)Made-up survey results.C)False research findings.B)Hired climate experts.D)Deliberate choice of words.54.Why did NASA choose the term "climate change"?A)To obtain more funds.C)For political needs.B)For greater precision.D)To avoid .d ebate.55.What is the author's final co n clusion?A)Global warming is the more accurate term.B)Accuracy of terminology matters in science.C)Human activities have serious effects on Earth.D)Politics interferes with serious scientific debate.Part NTranslation ( 30 minutes) Directions : For this part , you are allowed BO minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

ReadingPassage OneIt would be difficult to have society like ours without public goods such as defense,transportation,and other services.A public good is one that a person can use without reducing the use of it for another person. One of the best examples of a public good is national defense. One person can benefit from our national defense without reducing another person's benefits. In fact,it is difficult to keep any person in our society from enjoying the benefits of national defense. The market system does not work well in producing public goods. This is because a per-son who refuses to pay for a public good cannot be kept from using it. Suppose that the neighbors in a high crime area decide to hire a police force. Each neighbor,except Mrs. Smith,agrees to pay$100a year for it. Mrs. Smith refuses to pay because she knows that if all the others pay the$100,the police will guard the area anyway. So Mrs. Smith can enjoy the services of the police force without paying$100.The market system has no way to deal with this type of problem. For this reason,we cannot ask each person to makea direct payment in the form of product price. Therefore,we collect money for public goods by using taxes.1. According to the passage,public goods are ______.A. services enjoyed by all peopleB. what we can buy and sell in publicC. products that we make for national defenseD. taxes paid by the people involved2. The writer gives the example of national defense in paragraph 2 in order to show that ______.A. there will be no safety if there is no national defenseB. all the people should be responsible for national defenseC. a public good is a shared benefit for the whole societyD. some public goods are more important than others3. The person who does not pay for a public good ______.A. keeps himself from using its benefitB. cannot enjoy its benefit at any timeC. fails to keep its benefit from being usedD. enjoys its benefit all the same4. In the third paragraph the author explains ______.A. what role the market system plays in producing public goodsB. how weak the market system plays in producing public goodsC. why some people refuse to pay for public goodsD. what we can do to make use of the market system5. From the passage we learn that the purpose of collecting taxes is ______.A. to ensure the continuous supply of public goodsB. to reduce the difference between the rich and the poorC. to get extra money to support public goodsD. to remind people of their dutyPassage TwoPeople in different parts of the world have very different ideas about what is good to eat. Even when people in different countries eat the same food,they often prepare it very differently. If you were in Germany,you would find soup that is thick and heavy. If you were in China,you would find soup that is thin and clear. On holidays most of us eat special foods. Year after year,even if many other things change,the food is always the same. Sometimes housewives begin weeks in advance to prepare the special foods that are traditionally served on certain holidays.People in different parts of the world also have different ideas about what is good to drink. Among the most popular hot drinks are coffee and tea. Coffee is very popular in northern Europe and in the Middle East. Some people put cream and sugar in their coffee. But in the United States,many people drink their coffee “black” that is without cream or sugar. Tea is the national drink in China,Japan,and other Oriental(东方的)countries. In the Orient,people drink tea without sugar. But in England,where it is also a national drink,many people use both sugar and hot or cold milk in their tea.6. People in different parts of the world ______.A. cook the same food in different waysB. like the same kinds of foodC. have the same ideas about foodsD. know how to prepare the same food7. Special foods on holidays will ______.A. change a lot year after yearB. have different tastes with the years passing byC. remain the same for many many yearsD. be served before certain holidays8. When drinking coffee,many Americans like to ______.A. add tea to itB. add milk to itC. drink it with cream or sugar addedD. drink it with nothing added9. In England,______ is a popular national drink.A. cold milkB. teaC. hot milkD. black coffee10. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. We Should Eat Different FoodsB. Special Foods on Certain HolidaysC. People in Western Countries like Coffee MostD. Different Ideas about Foods and DrinksPassage ThreeGrowing up in Philadelphia, Lieberman started cooking with his stay-at-home dad when he was seven. His food-loving family had two kitchens, and he quickly learned what was the best way to bake his cakes. Lieberman improved his kitchen skills greatly during a year abroad before college, learning from a cook in Italy and studying local specialties in Germany, Spain and France. At Yale, he was known for throwing dinner parties, single-handedly frying and baking while mixing drinks for dozens of friends. Just for fun, he and some friends decided to tape a show named Campus Cuisine about his cooking. Lieberman was a real college student showing his classmates how to do things like make drinks out of dining-hall fruit. That helped the show become very popular among the students. They would stop Lieberman after classes to ask for his advice on cooking. Tapes of the show were passed around, with which his name went beyond the school and finally to the Food Network.Food Network producer Flay hopes the young cook will find a place on the network television. He says Lieberman’s charisma is key. “Food TV isn’t about food anymore," says Flay. “It’s about your personality and finding a way to keep people’s eyeballs on your show.”But Lieberman isn’t putting all his eggs in one basket. After taping the first season of the new show, Lieberman was back in his own small kitchen preparing sandwiches. An airline company was looking for someone to come up with a tasteful, inexpensive and easy-to-make menu to serve on its flights. Lieberman got the job.11.
