However,because so many reactions can occur in transfusions,patients usually receive only salt or plasma(liquid)until their blood can be matched as exactly as possible in the blood bank of a hospital.In this way,it is possible to avoid any bad reactions to the transfusion.There is a relationship between your blood type and your nationality.Among Europeans and people of European ancestry,about42percent have type A while 45percent have type O.The rarest is type AB.Other races have different percentages.For example,some American Indian groups have nearly100percent type O.(1).A good title for this passage is________.A.Getting Blood and PlasmaB.Special Blood TypesC.Human Blood TypesD.The Blood Bank of a Hospital(2).The word"hence"in line10means_________A.alwaysB.oftenC.thereforeD.seldom(3).In a blood transfusion,it is easiest to find the acceptable type of blood for a person with the blood type of________A.AB.BC.ABD.O(4).The purpose of using salt and plasma before a blood transfusion is to allow time______.A.to test the reactions to the transfusionB.for matching the blood to be transfused with the patient''s bloodC.for the blood to be delivered from the blood bankD.to select a new type of blood for the patient(5).Most Europeans have blood type_________A.AB.BC.OD.A or O2.In ancient times the most important examinations were spoken,not written.In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome,testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches.In the European universities of the Middle Ages,students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their Field of study with people who had made a special study of the subject.This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates for the doctor''s degree.Generally,however,modern examinations are written.The written examination,where all students are tested on the same questions,was probably not known until the nineteenth century.Perhaps it came intoexistence with the great increase in population and the developmentof modern industry.A room full of candidates for a state examination, timed exactly by electric clocks and carefully watched over by managers,resembles a group of workers at an automobile factory. Certainly,during examinations teachers and students are expected to act like machines.One type of test is sometimes called an"objective"test.It is intended to deal with facts,not personal opinions.To make up an objective test the teacher writes a series of questions,each of which has only one correct answer.Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like answers to students who have not learned the material properly.(1).In the Middle Ages students_______.A.took objective testsB.were timed by clocksC.specialized in one subjectD.never wrote exams(2).The main idea of paragraph2is______A.workers now take examinationsB.the population has grownC.there are only written exams todayD.examinations are now written and timed(3).The kind of exam where students must select answers is______.A.personalB.objective?C.spoken?D.written(4).Modern industry must have developed______.A.before the Middle AgesB.in Greece or RomeC.around the19lh centuryD.machines to take tests(5).It may be concluded that testing______.A.should test only opinionsB.should always be writtenC.has changed since the Middle AgesD.is given only in factories3.Learning how to write is like taking a course in public speaking. I’d ask whether anyone in class had ever taken such a course. Invariably a few hands would go up.“What did you learn in that course?”I’d ask.“Well,the main thing was learning how to face an audience...notto be inhibited(拘谨)...not to be nervousExactly,when you take a course in public speaking nowadays,you don’t hear much about grammar and vocabulary.Instead,you’re taught how not to be afraid or embarrassed,how to speak without a prepared script,how to read out to the live audience before you. Public speaking is a matter of overcoming your long-standing nervous inhibitions.The same is true of writing.The point of the whole thing is to overcome your nervous inhibitions,to break through the invisible barrier that separates you from the person who’ll read what you wrote.You must learn to sit in front of your typewriter or dictating machine and read out to the person at the other end of the line.Of course,in public speaking,with the audience right in front of you,the problem is easier.You can look at them and talk to them directly.In writing,you’re alone. It needs an effort of your experience or imagination to take hold of that other person and talk to him or her.But that effort is necessary--or at least it’s necessary until you’ve reached the point when you quite naturally and unconsciously“talk on paper(1).The topic of the passage is________A.how to be a good writerB.how to be a good speakerC.how to express yourself with your wordsD.how to get rid of nervousness in public speaking(2).The public speech course mainly teaches students______A.how to make an attractive speech using perfect grammar and vocabularyB.how to express themselves exactly and vividlyC.how to collect data needed and organize itD.how to get over their nervousness when making a speech(3).The similarity between making a public speech and writing isthat_______A.you have to do a lot of preparation work beforehandB.you should get over your nervous inhibitionsC.you should know grammar and vocabulary well to accomplish themD.both of them have audience(4).In the opinion of the author,public speaking is much easier than writing because_______A.public speaking requires less effort than writingB.it’s unnecessary for you to write a lot for speech and you can say anything as you likeC.you face the audience directly in public speaking;while writingis otherwiseD.in public speaking,the audience have to listen to you whether they like it or not(5).The author of this passage probably is a________A.bossB.politicianC.writerD.professor4."The pen is more powerful than the sword(剑)."There have been many writers who used their pens to fight things that were wrong.Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe was one of them.She was born in the USA in1811.One of her books not only made her famous but has been described as one that excited the world,and was helpful in causing a civil war and freezing the slaves.The civil war was the American Civil War of1861,in which the Northern States fought the Southern States and finally won.This book was named"Uncle Tom''''s Cabin".There was time when every English-speaking man,woman,and child has read this novel that did so much to stop slavery.Not many people read it today,but it isstill very interesting.The book has shown us how a warm-hearted writer can arouse(唤起)people''''s sympathies(同情).The writer herself had neither been to the Southern States nor been a slave.The Southern Americans were very angry at the novel,which they said did not at all represent(代表)true state of affairs,but the Northern Americans were wildly excited over it and were so inspired(激励)by it that they-were ready to go to war to set the slaves free.(1). According to the passage().A.every English-speaking person had read"Uncle Tom''s Cabin"B."Uncle Tom''s Cabin"was not very interestingC.those who don''t speak English can not have read"Uncle Tom''s Cabin"D.the book"Uncle Tom''s Cabin"did a great deal in the American Civil War(2).How old was Mrs.Stowe when her world famous book was published?()A.About60years old.B.Over50years old.C.In her forties.D.Around30years old.(3).What do you learn about Mrs.Stowe from the passage?()A.AShe had been living in the north of America before the AmericanCivil War.B.She herself encouraged the northern Americans to go to war and set the slaves free.C.She was better as writing as using a sword.D.She had once been a slave.(4).Why could Mrs.Stowe''s book cause a civil war in America?()A.She wrote so well that Americans loved her very much.B.She disclosed(揭露)the terrible wrongs that had been done to the slaves in the Southern States.C.The Southern Americans hated the book while the Northern Americans like it.D.The book had been read by many Americans.(5).What can we learn from the passage?()A.We needn''t use weapons(武器)to fight things that are wrong.B.writer is more helpful in a war than a soldier.C.We must understand the importance of literature and art.D.No war can be won without such a book as"Uncle Tom''s Cabin".5.Although I had left school against the advice of my teachers,I had, without telling anyone,tried to continue my studies in literature (文学)at evening classes.It was a tiresome walk from one end of the city to another and to sit among adults was uninteresting.I was the youngest in the class,so the friendship I knew at school was absent.I put up with(忍受)it for a short period.It was too long a walk on cold winter''s nights and it was hard to put my heart into Shakespeare with wet shoes and trousers.So I continued reading books and started writing poetry at home.By chance,I won some prizes and awards(奖)for literature.A young woman from a TV company came to the college one day.She told me that I had won a national poetry award.I stared at her in astonishment and disbelief.She wanted to make a short film about me,to which I said,"No,I couldn''t do that."Not that I had any real excuse,I was just frightened.In the end she persuaded me that1should do it the following day.So I did.They made a short film of me reading one of my poems and I became more interested in literature than ever.I wondered what I should do after this,and decided some weeks later that1could not imagine myself spending the rest of my days dealing with machines.So one evening,I hesitatingly told my parents that I wanted to return to school.They were greatly surprised and,I think, a little afraid but they did not try to persuade me not to,they wanted to know if I was sure,if I knew what it meant and whether I realized that if I gave up my job training,it would be verydifficult to get a good job.But nothing could stop me,and they asked about the matter no further.(1).Which of the following has mostprobably been discussed in this passage?()A.The writer''s unhappy childhood.B.The poor teaching quality(质量)of the writer''s school.C.The writer''s leaving school against his teachers''advice.D.Whether it was worth leaving school for job training.(2).The writer did not feel comfortable at the evening school because().A.he found it difficult to make friends with his classmatesB.he had to walk a long distance to the evening schoolC.he could not put his heart into reading books afterhe was caught in the rainD.of all of the above(3).After he won some prizes and awards for literature,a young woman from a TV company().A.wanted to make his success known to the publicB.came to make friends with himC.invited him to make a speechD.came to tell him that he had become a very important person(4).After his success,he()A.decided to get a good jobB.decided to continue hisstudies in literature at the evening schoolC.decided to return to the school he once leftD.began to feel very important and proud(5).Which of the following is NOT TRUE?()A.His parents worried that he would have no future if he returned to school.B.His parents worried that he would leave school again.C.It was difficult for one who studied literature to get a job.D.His parents did not want him to continue his education.6.It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it. Then life is no longer difficult.Most people do not fully see this truth.Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy.It seems to them that difficulties represent (代表)a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families,their class,or even their nation.What makes life difficult is the process of facing and solving problems and it is a painful one.Problems,depending on their nature, cause us sadness or,loneliness or regret or anger of fear.These are uncomfortable feelings,often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems,life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.Yet,it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure.When we desire to encourage the growth of human spirit,we encourage the human ability to solve problems,just as in school we set problems for our children to solve.It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn.As Benjamin Franklin said,"Those things that hurt,instruct."It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.(1).From the passage,it can be inferred that().A.everybody has problemsB.we become stronger by meeting and solving the problems of lifeC.life is difficult because our problems bring us painD.people like to complain about their problems(2).The writer probably used one short sentence in the first paragraph to().A.save spaceB.persuade readersC.make readers laughD.get readers''attention(3).The main idea of paragraph three is that().A.most people feel life is easyB.the writer feels life is easyC.the writer likes to complain about his problemsD.Problem solving is part of life(4).According to the passage,we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to().A.encourage them to learnB.teach them to fear the pain of solving the problemC.help them learn to deal with painD.teach them how to respect from problems(5).The saying from Benjamin Franklin"Those things that hurt,instruct"suggest that().A.we do not learn from experienceB.we do not learn when we are painC.pain teaches us important lessonsD.pain cannot be avoid答案：一、单项选择题（70分，共35题，每小题2分）1.B2.B3.A4.B5.D6.B7.A8.D9.B10.D11.C12.B13.C 14.A15.A16.A17.C18.C19.C20.C21.B22.D23.C24.C25.

When the passage is read for the first time, you shovM listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for thesecond time, you are required to fiU in the blanks with, the exact words you have justheard. Finally,when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what youhave written.“Don’t take many English courses；they won’t help you get a decent jo b.” “Sign up for management classes, so you’ll be ready to join the family business when you graduate. ”Sound 26? Many of us have heard suggestions like these 27 by parents or others close to us. Such comments often seem quite reasonable.Why, then, should suggestions like these be taken with 28?The reason is they relate to decisions you should make. You are the one who must 29tiieir consequences.One of the worst reasons to follow a particular path in life is that other people want you to. Decisions that affect your life should be your decisions—decisions you make alter you，ve considered various 30 and chosen the path that suits you best.Making your own decisions does not mean that you should 31the suggestions of others. For instance，your parents do have their own unique experiences that may make their advice helpful,and having 32in a great deal of your personal history, they may have a clear view of your strengths and weaknesses. Still, their views are not necessarily accurate. They may still see you as a child, 33 care and protection. Or they may see only your strengths. Or, in some unfortunate cases, they may 34 your flaws and shortcomings.People will always be giving you advice. Ultimately, though, you have to make your own 35•Part M Section A Directions •Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)Jn this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for e c tc h 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 f or 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.Questions 36 to 45 are based on the foUowi吨 passage.One principle of taxation, called the benefits principle, states that people should pay taxes based on the benefits they receive from government services. This principle tries to make public goods similar to 36 goods. It seems reasonable that a person who often goes to the movies pays more in 37 for movie tickets than a person who rarefy goes. And 38 , a person who gets great benefit from a public good should pay more for it than a person who gets little benefit.The gasoline tax, for instance, is sometimes 39 using the benefits principle. In some states,40 from the gasoline tax are used to build and maintain roads. Because those who buy gasoline are the same people who use the roads, the gasoline tax might be viewed as a 41way to pay for this government service.The benefits principle can also be used to argue that wealthy citizens should pay higher taxes than poorer ones, 42 because the wealthy benefit more from public services. Consider, for example, the benefits of police protection from 43 •Citizens with much to protect get greater benefit from police than those with less to protect. Therefore,according to the benefits principle, the wealthy should 44 more than the poor to the cost of 45 the police force. The same argument can be used for many other public services, such as fire protection, national defense, and the court system.A) adapt I) providedB) contribute J) revenuesC) exerting K) similarlyD) expenses L) simplyE) fair M) theftF) justified N) totalG) maintaining0) wealthH) private：....ISection 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 paragraphfrom 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 thecorresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Growing Up ColoredA) You wouldn’t know Piedmont anymore—my Piedmont, I mean—the town in West Virginia where Ilearned to be a colored boy.B) The 1950s in Piedmont was a time to remember, or at least to me. People were always proud to befrom Piedmont—lying at the foot of a mountain, on the banks of the mighty Potomac. We knew God gave America no more beautiful location. I never knew colored people anywhere who were crazier about mountains and water, flowers and trees, fishing and hunting. For as long as anyone could remember, we could outhunt, outshoot, and outswim the white boys in the valley.C) The social structure of Piedmont was something we knew like the back of our hands. It was animmigrant town； white Piedmont was Italian and Irish, with a handful of wealthy W A SPs(盡格鲁撒 克逊裔的白人新教徒）on East Hampshire Street, and “ethnic”neighborhoods of working-class people everywhere else, colored and white.D) For as long as anyone can remember, Piedmont’s character has been completely bound up with theWestvaco paper m ill：its prosperous past and doubtM future. At first glance, the town is a typical-2014,12/ 4dyjng mill center. Many once beautiful buildings stand empty, evidencing a bygone time of spirit and pride. The big houses on East Hampshire Street are no longer proud, as they were when I wasa kid.E) Like the Italians and the Irish, most of the colored people migrated to Piedmont at the turn of the20th century to work at the paper m ill, wl^ch opened in 1888. All the colored men at the paper mill worked on “the platformM—loading paper into trucks until the craft unions were finally integrated m 1968. Loading is what Daddy did every working day of his life. Hiafs what almost eveiy colored grown-up I knew did.F) Colored people lived in three neighborhoods that were clearly separated. Welcome to the ColoredZone, a large stretched banner could have said. And it felt good in there, like walking around your house in bare feet and underwear, or snoring(打軒）right out loud on the couch in front of the T V—enveloped by the comforts of home, the warmth of those you love.G) Of course, the colored world was not so much a neighborhood as a condition of existence. Andthough our own world was seemingly self-contained, it impacted on the white world of Piedmont in almost eveiy direction. Certainly, the borders of our world seemed to be impacted on when some white man or woman showed up where he or she did not belong, such as at the black Legion Hall.Our space was violated when one of them showed up at a dance or a party. The rhythms would be off. The music would sound not quite right. Everybody would leave early.H) Before 1955，most white people were just shadowy presences in our world, vague figures of powerlike remote bosses at the mill or clerks at the bank. There were exceptions, of course, the white people who would come into our world in routine, everyday ways we all understood. Mr. Mail Man, Mr. Insurance Man, Mr. White-and-Qiocolate Milk Man, Mr. Landlord Man, Mr. Police Man：we called white people by their trade, like characters in a mysteiy play. Mr. Insurance Man would come by every other week to collect payments on college or death policies, sometimes 50 cents or less.I) “It，s no disgrace to be colored，” Hie black entertainer Bert Williams famously observed early in thecentury，“but it is awfully inconvenient ”For most of my childhood, we couldn’t eat in restaurants or sleep in hotels ? we couldn’t use certain bathrooms or ta y on clothes in stores. Mama insisted that we dress up when we went to shop. She was carefully dressed when she went to clothing stores ?and wore white pads called shields under her arms so her dress or blouse would show no sweat.“We’d like to tiy this on,，’ she’d say carefully, uttering her words precisely and properly. “We don7t buy clothes we can’t try on，”she，d say when they declined, and we’d walk out in Mama’s dignified (有尊严的）manner. She preferred to shop where we had an account and where everyone knew who she was.J) At the Cut-Rate Drug Store，no one colored was allowed to sit down at the counter or tables, with one exception：my father. I don’t know for certain why Carl Dadisman, the owner, wouldn’t stop Daddy from sitting down. But I believe it was in part because Daddy was so light-colored, and in part because, during his shift at the phone company, he picked up orders for food and coffee for the operators. Colored people were supposed to stand at the counter, get their food to go, and leave. Even when Young Doc Bess would set up the basketball team with free Cokes after one of many victories,the colored players had to stand around and drink out of p a q p e r cups while the white players and cheerleaders sat down in comfortable chairs and drank out of glasses.K) I couldn’t have been much older than five or as I sat with my father at the Cut-Rate one afternoon, e i\jo y in g ice cream. Mr. Wilson, a stony-faced Irishman, walked by. “Hello, Mr.Wilson,”my father said.“Hello, Geoi^e. ’’L) I was genuinely puzzled. Mr. Wilson must have confused my father with somebody else, but who?There weren’t any Georges among the colored people in Piedmont. “Why don’t you teli him your name, Daddy?”I asked loudly. “Your name isn't George. ”“He knows my name, boy,”my father said after a long pause. “He calls all colored people George. ”‘M) I knew we wouldn’t talk about it again； even at that age, I was given to understand that there were some subjects it didn’t do to worry to death about. Now that I have children, I realize that what distressed my father wasn’t so much the Mr. Wilsons of the world as the painful obligation to explain the racial facts of life to someone who hadn’t quite learned them yet. Maybe Mr. Wilson couldn’t hurt my father by calling him George；but I hurt him by asking to know why.46. The author felt as a boy that his life in a separated neighborhood was casual and cozy.47. There is every sign of decline at the paper mill now.48. One reason the author’s father could sit and eat at the drug store was that he didn’t look that dark.49. Piedmont was a town of immigrants from different parts of the world.50. In spite of the awful inconveniences caused by racial prejudice, the author's family managed to livea life of dignity.51. The author later realized he had caused great distress to his father by asking why he was wronglyaddressed.52. The author took pride in being from Piedmont because of its natural beauty.53. Colored people caiied white people by the business they did.54. Colored people who lived in Piedmont did heavy manual jobs a t the paper mill.55. The colored people felt uneasy at the presence of the whites in their neighborhoods.Section CDirections ：There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions o r i unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) ancD). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on AnsweiSheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.Children are a delight. They are our future. But sadly, hiring someone to take care of them w hil< you go to work is getting more e3q)ensive by the year.Earlier this month, it was reported that the cost of enrolling an infant or small kid at a childcare center rose 3%in 2012, faster than the overall cost of living. There are now large strips of the countr where daycare for an infant costs more than a tentii of the average married couplers income.This is not necessarily a new trend, but it is a somewhat puzzling one. The price of professions childcare has been rising since the 1980s. Yet during that time, pay for professional childcare worker has stood still. Actually caregivers make less today, in real terms, than they did in 1990. Considerini that labor costs are responsible for up to 80% of a daycare center’s expenses，one would expect fla wages to have meant flat prices.So who’s to blame for higher childcare costs?Childcare is a carefully regulated industry. States lay down rules about how many children e a c] employee is allowed to watch over, the space care centers need per child, and other minute details And the stricter the regulations,the higher the costs. If it has to hire a caregiver for every t w< children，it can’t really achieve any economies of scale on labor to save money when other expenses g<? e q p e n s e s .Massachusetup. In Massachusetts，where childcare centers must hire one teacher for every t hree infants, the price of care averaged more than $ 16,000 per year. In Mississippi, where centers m ust h ire one teacher for every five infants, the price of care averaged less than $ 5,000.Unfortunately, I don’t have all the daycare-center regulations handy. But I wouldn't be surprised if as the rules have become more elaborate, prices have risen. The tradeoff (交换）might be worth it in some cases ； after all, the health and safety of children should probably come before cheap service. But certainly , it doesn’t seem to be an accident that some of liie cheapest daycare available is in the least regulated South.56. What problem do parents of small kids have to face?A) The ever-rising childcare prices. C) The balance between work and family.B) The budgeting of family expenses. D) The selection of a good daycare center.57. What does the author feel puzzled about?A) Why the prices of childcare vary greatly from state to state.B) Why increased childcare prices have not led to better service.C) Why childcare workers, pay has not increased with the rising childcare costs.D) Why there is a severe shortage of childcare professionals in a number of states.58. What prevents childcare centers from saving money?A) Steady increase in labor costs. C) Lack of support from the state.B) Strict government regulations. D) High administrative e ^q p e 59. Why is the average cost of childcare in Mississippi much lower than in A) The overall quality of service is not as good.B) Payments for caregivers there are not as high.C) Living expenses there are comparatively low.D) Each teacher is allowed to care for more kids.60. What is the author’s view on daycare service?A) Caregivers should receive regular professional training.B) Less elaborate rules about childcare might lower costs.C) It is crucial to strike a balance between quality and costs.D) It is better for different states to leam from each other.P assage T w oQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.Alex Pang’s amusing new book T h e Distraction Addiction addresses those of us who feel panic without a cellphone or computer. And that, he claims, is pretty much all of us. When we're not online, where we spend four months annually, we’re engaged in the stressful work of trying to get online.T h e Distraction Addiction is not framed as a self-help book. It’s a thoughtful examination of the dangers of our computing overdose and a historical overview of how technological advances change consciousness. A w professional futurist，Pang urges an approach which he calls “contemplative (沉思 的）confuting. ” He asks that you pay full attention to “ how your mind and body interact with computers and how your attention and creativity are influenced by technology. ”Pang’s first job is to free you from the common misconception that doing two things at once allows you to get more done. What is commonly called multitasking is, in fact, switch-tasking, and its harmM effects on productivity are well documented. Pang doesn’t advocate returning to a pre-Internet world. Instead，he asks you to “ take a more ecological (生态的）view of your relationships with technologies and look for ways devices or media may be making specific tasks easier or faster but at the same time making your work and life harder. ”T h e Distraction Addiction is particularly fascinating on how technologies have changed certainfields of labor 一often for the worse. For architects, computer-aided design has become essential but i some ways has cheapened the design process. As one architect puts it, a Architecture is first an foremost about thinking…and drawing is a more productive way of thinking” than computer-aide design. Somewhat less amusing are Pang’s solutions for kicking the Internet habit. He recommends th usual behavior-modification approaches, 'familiar to anyone who has completed a quit-smokiii program. Keep logs to study your online profile and decide what you can knock out, download program like Freedom that locks you out of your browser, or take a M digital Sabbath (安息日）” “Unless you，re a reporter or emeigency-department doctor, you’ll discover that your world doesn’t fa apart when you go offline. ”61. Alex Pang’s new book is aimed for readers who _______•A) find their work online too stressfulB) go online mainly for entertainmentC) are fearful about using the cellphone or computerD) can hardly tear themselves away from the Internet62. What does Alex Pang try to do in his new book?A) Offer advice on how to use the Internet effectively.B) Warn people of the possible dangers of Internet use.C) the trend of future technological development.D) e the influence of technology on the human mind.63. What is the common view on multitasking?A) It enables people to work more efficiently.B) It is in a way quite similar to switch-tasking.C) It makes people’s work and life even harder.D) It distracts people’s attention from useful work.64. What does the author think of computer-aided design?A) It considerably cuts down the cost of building design.B) It somewhat restrains architects, productive thinking.C) It is indispensable in architects’ work process.D) It can free architects from laborious drawing.65. What is Alex Pang’s recommendation for Internet users?A) They use the Internet as little as possible.B) They keep a record of their computer use time.C) They exercise self-control over their time online.D) They entertain themselves online on off-days only.Directions ： For this part，you are allowedto translate a passage from Chinese in 越来越多的中国年轻人正对旅游产生兴趣,这是近年来的新趋势。

Passage one If you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season toseason. Your are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of year. A noted scientist, Ellsworth Huntington, concluded from other men’s work and his own among peoples in different climates and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities. He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than is summer heat. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in summer. Spring appears to be the beat period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in the spring man’s mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature. Fall is the next-best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation from thinking According to the passage, man’s intelligence_________-(A)Stays the same throughoutthe year(B) Varies from day to day(C) Changes with the seasons(D) Changes from yearto yearEllsworth Huntington decided that climate and temperature have________(A) a great effect oneveryone’s intelligence(B) ?some effect on mostpeople’s intelligence(C) some effect on a fewpeople’s intelligence(D)no effect on mostpeople’s intelligence Ellsworth Huntington’s conclusion was based on____-(A) variations of his own mental abilities fromseason to season(B)theresults of research done by him and otherscientists amongpeoples in different climates(C)detailed records of temperaturechanges in differentplaces(D) detailed recordsof different ways of thinking amongpeoples on different climatesWhy does the author say summer is a good time to take a long vacation from thinking? ____(A) Because a long vacation in summer helps to improvepeople’s mental power.(B) Because people tend to be less creativeduring summer.(C)Because summer is a good time for outdooractivities(D)Because mental exertion in the summer heat taxes too muchof people’s energy.The central idea of this passage is______(A) man’s mental abilities change fromseason to season(B) man’s intelligence varies from place toplace(C) manshould take a long vacationin summer(D) if you want to do creativethinking,go to acool place难度：中 分值：5.02. Warm water freezes more quickly than cold. Sir Francis Bacon said that almost fourhundred years ago. But few people believed him – till 1970. In that year Canadian scientist George Kell proved the English scholar was right. Dr. Kell filled an open pail with cold water. He exposed both to the same low temperature. The warm water froze first. The lack （缺少） of covers on the pails was the secret. Some of the warm water changed to vapor. （水蒸气） It evaporated （蒸发） into the air. This meant that less of the warm water was left to freeze. And so the warm water froze faster than the cold water – even though it had a greater temperature drop to make. Sir Francis Bacon was(A)an Americanexperimenter(B) aCanadian scientist(C) an English scholar(D) anAustralianwriterDr. Kell’s pails were both(A) filled with water(B)leftuncovered(C) exposed to the sametemperature(D) all of theaboveThe second paragraph tells why(A)Dr. Kell was studying water(B) the warm water frozefirst(C)Dr. Kell used pails in hiswork(D)water freezes inunderground pipesNo water vapor would have escaped into the air if the pails had been(A) warmed (B) covered (C)shaken (D) filledThe cold water froze more slowly because(A) salt was added to it(B) its pail was smaller(C) there was more of it left(D) the air near itwas moving难度：中 分值：5.03. A flag is more than a piece of cloth. It stands for a nation’s people – theirland, history, and ideals. Iceland’s flag, for instance, stands for features of the land. Red is for the fire of Iceland’s volcanoes. （火山） White is for ice. Blue is for the mount ains. On India’s flag, the blue wheel stands for peace and progress. The white stripe （条纹） behind it is for truth. The black stripe on the flag of Malawi stands for the Negro people of that African land. The red stripe represents （代表） the blood they shed to free themselves from foreign rule. When the people of any nation see their flag flying, they feel proud. They love and honor the flag as the symbol （象征） of their country. The flag of Iceland is(A)red andwhite(B)blue andgreen(C) black, white, and red(D) red, white, andblueThe white stripe on India’s flag stands for(A)ice and mountains(B)peace and progress(C)waterfalls(D)truthIndia’s flag stands mostly for the(A) feature of the land(B) riches of the soil(C) ideals of the people(D) history of the countryThe red on Malawi’s flag reminds the people of(A)the many volcanoes in their land(B) the beauty of their countryside(C)theirfight for freedom(D)their need to make progressThe most important thing about a flag is(A)what it stands for(B)when it is used(C)what it ismade of(D)how big it is难度：中 分值：5.04. On November 19,1863, Abraham Lincoln went to Gettysburg in Pennsylvania to speakat the National Soldiers Cemetery The Civil War was still going on. There was much criticism of President Lincoln at the time He was not at all popular. He had been invited to speak at Gettysburg only out of courtesy. The principal speaker was to be Edward Everett, a famous statesman and speaker of the day. Everett was a handsome man and very popular everywhere. It is said that Lincoln prepared his speech on the train while going to Gettysburg. Late that night, alone in his hotel room and tire out, he again worked briefly on the speech. The next day Everett spoke first. He spoke for an hour and 57 minutes. His speech was a perfect example of the rich oratory of the day. Then Lincoln rose. The crowd of 15,000 people at first paid little attention to him. He spoke for only nine minutes. At the end there was little applause. Lincoln turned to a friend and remarked, “I have failed again.” On the train back to Washington he commented sadly, “That speech was a flat failure, andthe people are disappointed. Some newspapers at first criticized the speech. But little by little, as people read the speech, they began to understand better. They began to appreciate its simplicity and its deep meaning. It was a speech which only Abraham Lincoln could have made. Today , every American school child learns Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address by heart. Now everyone thinks of it as one of the greatest orations ever given in American history.In 1863, Abraham Lincoln was______-(A)very critical(B)unpopular(C)verypopular(D)very courteousLincoln was invited to speak at the National Soldiers Cemetery Because hewas______-(A) a famous orator(B)veryhandsome(C)President ofthe UnitedStates at the time(D)a popular statesmanIt can be inferred from the text that_____(A)Lincoln prepared his speech very carefullybefore hewent to Gettysburg(B)Lincoln was verybusy at the time and didn’t have muchtime to prepare his speech(C) Lincoln’s speech was full of richoratory(D) Lincoln’s speech wasvery longLincoln’s speech was_____(A) Animmediate success(B)Warmlyapplauded(C)A totalfailure(D) Notwell-receivedat firstWhich of the following statements is NOT true?(A) Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address has deepmeaning.(B) Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address is simple instyle(C)Lincoln’sGettysburg Address is memorized by every Americanschool child.(D) Lincoln’sGettysburg Address is the greatest speech everdelivered in the United States.难度：中 分值：5.0。

Part of the warming is natural; we have experienced a 20,000-year-long warming as the last ice age ended and the ice ___36___ away. However, we have already reached temperatures that are in ___37___ with other minimum-ice periods, so continued warming is likely not natural. We are ___38___ to a predicted worldwide increase in temperatures ___39___ between 1℃and 6℃over the next 100 years. The warming will be more ___40___ in some areas, less in others, and some places may even cool off. Likewise, the ___41___ of this warming will be very different depending on where you are—coastal areas must worry about rising sea levels, while Siberia and northern Canada may become more habitable （宜居的）and ___42___ for humans than these areas are now.The fact remains, however, that it will likely get warmer, on ___43___, everywhere. Scientists are in general agreement that the warmer conditions we have been experiencing are at least in part the result of a human-induced global warming trend. Some scientists ___44___ that the changes we are seeing fall within the range of random （无规律的）variation—some years are cold, others warm, and we have just had an unremarkable string of warm years ___45___—but that is becoming an increasingly rare interpretation in the face of continued and increasing warm conditions.A）appealing I）meltedB）average J）persistC）contributing K）rangingD）dramatic L）recentlyE）frequently M）resolvedF）impact N）sensibleG）line O）shockH）maintainSection 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.The End of the Book?A） Amazon, by far the largest bookseller in the country, reported on May 19 that it is now selling more books in its electronic Kindle format than in the old paper-and-ink format. That is remarkable, considering that the Kindle has only been around for four years. E-books now account for 14 percent of all book sales in this country and are increasing far faster than overall book sales. E-book sales are up 146 percent over last year, while hardback sales increased 6 percent and paperbacks decreased 8 percent.B） Does this spell the doom of the physical book? Certainly not immediately, and perhaps not at all. What it does mean is that the book business will go through a transformation in the next decade or so more profound than any it has seen since Gutenberg introduced printing from moveable type in the 1450s.C） Physical books will surely become much rarer in the marketplace. Mass market paperbacks, which have been declining for years anyway, will probably disappear, as will hardbacks for mysteries, thrillers, “romance fiction,”etc. Such books, which only rarely end up in permanent collections, either private or public, will probably only be available as e-books within a few years. Hardback and trade paperbacks for “serious”nonfiction and fiction will surely last longer. Perhaps it will become the mark of an author to reckon with that he or she is still published in hard copy.D） As for children’s books, who knows? Children’s books are like dog food in that the purchasers are not the consumers, so the market （and the marketing）is inherently strange. E）For clues to the book’s future, let’s look at some examples of technological change and see what happened to the old technology.F）One technology replaces another only because the new technology is better, cheaper, or both. The greater the difference, the sooner and more thoroughly the new technology replaces the old. Printing with moveable type on paper dramatically reduced the cost of producing a book compared with the old-fashioned ones handwritten on vellum, which comes from sheepskin. A Bible—to be sure, a long book—required vellum made from 300 sheepskins and countless man-hours of labor. Before printing arrived, a Bible cost more than a middle-class house. There were perhaps 50,000 books in all of Europe in 1450. By 1500 there were 10 million.G） But while printing quickly caused the handwritten book to die out, hand writing lingered on （继续存在）well into the 16th century. Very special books are still occasionally produced on vellum, but they are one-of-a-kind show pieces.H） Sometimes a new technology doesn’t drive the old one out, but only parts of it while forcing the rest to evolve. The movies were widely predicted to drive live theater out of the marketplace, but they didn’t, because theater turned out to have qualities movies could not reproduce. Equally, TV was supposed to replace movies but, again, did not.I）Movies did, however, fatally impact some parts of live theater. And while TV didn’t kill movies, it did kill second-rate pictures, shorts, and cartoons.J）Nor did TV kill radio. Comedy and drama shows （”Jack Benny,”“Amos and Andy,”“The Shadow”）all migrated to television. But because you can’t drive a car and watch television at the same time, rush hour became radio’s prime time, while music, talk, and news radio greatly enlarged their audiences. Radio is today a very different business than in the late 1940s and a much larger one.K） Sometimes old technology lingers for centuries because of its symbolic power. Mounted cavalry （骑兵）replaced the chariot （二轮战车）on the battlefield around 1000 BC. But chariots maintained their place in parades and triumphs right up until the end of the Roman Empire 1,500 years later. The sword hasn’t had a military function for a hundred years, but is still part of an officer’s full-dress uniform, precisely because a sword always symbolized “an officer and a gentleman.”L）Sometimes new technology is a little cranky （不稳定的）at first. Television repairman was a common occupation in the 1950s, for instance. And so the old technology remains as a backup. Steamships captured the North Atlantic passenger business from sail in the 1840s because of its much greater speed. But steamships didn’t lose their sails until the 1880s, because early marine engines had a nasty habit of breaking down. Until ships became large enough （and engines small enough）to mount two engines side by side, they needed to keep sails. （The high cost of steamand the lesser need for speed kept the majority of the world’s ocean freight moving by sail until the early years of the 20th century.）M）Then there is the fireplace. Central heating was present in every upper- and middle-class home by the second half of the 19th century. But functioning fireplaces remain to this day a powerful selling point in a house or apartment. I suspect the reason is a deep-rooted love of fire. Fire was one of the earliest major technological advances for humankind, providing heat, protection, and cooked food （which is much easier to eat and digest）. Human control of fire goes back far enough （over a million years）that evolution could have produced a genetic leaning towards fire as a central aspect of human life.N） Books—especially books the average person could afford—haven’t been around long enough to produce evolutionary change in humans. But they have a powerful hold on many people nonetheless, a hold extending far beyond their literary content. At their best, they are works of art and there is a tactile （触觉的）pleasure in books necessarily lost in e-book versions. The ability to quickly thumb through pages is also lost. And a room with books in it induces, at least in some, a feeling not dissimilar to that of a fire in the fireplace on a cold winter’s night.O） For these reasons I think physical books will have a longer existence as a commercial product than some currently predict. Like swords, books have symbolic power. Like fireplaces, they induce a sense of comfort and warmth. And, perhaps, similar to sails, they make a useful backup for when the lights go out.46. Authors still published in printed versions will be considered important ones.47. Some people are still in favor of printed books because of the sense of touch they can provide.48. The radio business has changed greatly and now attracts more listeners.49. Contrary to many people’s prediction of its death, the film industry survived.50. Remarkable changes have taken place in the book business.51. Old technology sometimes continues to exist because of its reliability.52. The increase of e-book sales will force the book business to make changes not seen for centuries.53. A new technology is unlikely to take the place of an old one without a clear advantage.54. Paperbacks of popular literature are more likely to be replaced by e-books.55. A house with a fireplace has a stronger appeal to buyers.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A）, B）, C）and D）. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.The question of whether our government should promote science and technology or the liberal arts in higher education isn’t an either/or proposition（命题）, although the current emphasis on preparing young Americans for STEM （science, technology, engineering, maths）-related fields can make it seem that way.The latest congressional report acknowledges the critical importance of technical training, but also asserts that the study of the humanities （人文学科）and social sciences must remain centralcomponents of America’s educational system at all levels. Both areas are critical to producing citizens who can participate effectively in our democratic society, become innovative （创新的）leaders, and benefit from the spiritual enrichment that the reflection on the great ideas of mankind over time provides.Parents and students who have invested heavily in higher education worry about graduates’job prospects as technological advances and changes in domestic and global markets transform professions in ways that reduce wages and cut jobs. Under these circumstances, it’s natural to look for what may appear to be the most “practical”way out of the problem: “Major in a subject designed to get you a job”seems the obvious answer to some, though this ignores the fact that many disciplines in the humanities characterized as “soft”often, in fact, lead to employment and success in the long run. Indeed, according to surveys, employers have expressed a preference for students who have received a broadly-based education that has taught them to write well, think critically, research creatively and communicate easily.Moreover, students should be prepared not just for their first job, but for their 4th and 5th jobs, as there’s little reason to doubt that people entering the workforce today will be called upon to play many different roles over the course of their careers. The ones who will do the best in this new environment will be those whose educations have prepared them to be flexible. The ability to draw upon every available tool and insight—picked up from science, arts and technology—to solve the problems of the future, and take advantage of the opportunities that present themselves, will be helpful to them and the United States.56. What does the latest congressional report suggest?A）STEM-related subjects help students find jobs in the information society.B）The humanities and STEM subjects should be given equal importance.C）The liberal arts in higher education help enrich students’ spiritual life.D）Higher education should be adjusted to the practical needs of society.57. What is the main concern of students when they choose a major?A）Their interest in relevant subjects. C）The quality of education to receive.B）The academic value of the courses. D）Their chances of getting a good job.58. What does the author say about the so-called soft subjects?A）They benefit students in their future life.B）They broaden students’ range of interests.C）They improve students’ communication skills.D）They are essential to students’ healthy growth.59. What kind of job applicants do employers look for?A）Those who have a strong sense of responsibility.B）Those who are good at solving practical problems.C）Those who are likely to become innovative leaders.D）Those who have received a well-rounded education.60. What advice does the author give to college students?A）Seize opportunities to tap their potential.B）Try to take a variety of practical courses.C）Prepare themselves for different job options.D）Adopt a flexible approach to solving problems.Passage TwoQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.Energy independence. It has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it? If you think so, you’re not alone, because energy independence has been the dream of American presidents for decades, and never more so than in the past few years, when the most recent oil price shock has been partly responsible for kicking off the great recession.“Energy independence”and its rhetorical （修辞的）companion “energy security”are, however, slippery concepts that are rarely thought through. What is it we want independence from, exactly?Most people would probably say that they want to be independent from imported oil. But there are reasons that we buy all that oil from elsewhere.The first reason is that we need it to keep our economy running. Yes, there is a trickle （涓涓细流）of biofuel（生物燃料）available, and more may become available, but most biofuels cause economic waste and environmental destruction.Second, Americans have basically decided that they don’t really want to produce all their own oil. They value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroad. Vast areas of the United States are off-limits to oil exploration and production in the name of environmental protection. To what extent are Americans really willing to endure the environmental impacts of domestic energy production in order to cut back imports?Third, there are benefits to trade. It allows for economic efficiency, and when we buy things from places that have lower production costs than we do, we benefit. And although you don’t read about this much, the United States is also a large exporter of oil products, selling about 2 million barrels of petroleum products per day to about 90 countries.There is no question that the United States imports a great deal of energy and, in fact, relies on that steady flow to maintain its economy. When that flow is interrupted, we feel the pain in short supplies and higher prices. At the same time, we derive massive economic benefits when we buy the most affordable energy on the world market and when we engage in energy trade around the world.61. What does the author say about energy independence for America?A）It sounds very attractive. C）It will bring oil prices down.B）It ensures national security. D）It has long been everyone’s dream.62. What does the author think of biofuels?A）They keep America’s economy running healthily.B）They prove to be a good alternative to petroleum.C）They do not provide a sustainable energy supply.D）They cause serious damage to the environment.63. Why does America rely heavily on oil imports?A）It wants to expand its storage of crude oil.B）Its own oil reserves are quickly running out.C）It wants to keep its own environment intact.D）Its own oil production falls short of demand.64. What does the author say about oil trade?A）It proves profitable to both sides.B）It improves economic efficiency.C）It makes for economic prosperity.D）It saves the cost of oil exploration.65. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A）To justify America’s dependence on oil imports.B）To arouse Americans’ awareness of the energy crisis.C）To stress the importance of energy conservation.D）To explain the increase of international oil trade.Part IV Translation （30 minutes）Directions: 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.中国应进一步发展核能，因为核电目前只占其总发电量的2%。

When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks with the exact words you have just heard. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.Among the kinds of social gestures most significant for second-language teachers are those which are 26 in form but different in meaning in the two cultures. For example, a Colombian who wants someone to 27 him often signals with a hand movement in which all the fingers of one hand, cupped, point downward as they move rapidly 28 . Speakers of English have a similar gesture though the hand may not be cupped and the fingers may be held more loosely, but for them the gesture means goodbye or go away, quite the 29 of the Colombian gesture. Again, in Colombia, a speaker of English would have to know that when he 30 height he must choose between different gestures depending on whether he is 31 a human being or an animal. If he keeps the palm of the hand 32 the floor, as he would in his own culture when making known the height of a child, for example, he will very likely be greeted by laughter; in Colombia this gesture is 33 for the description of animals. In order to describe human beings he should keep the palm of his hand 34 to the floor. Substitutions of one gesture for the other often create not only humorous but also 35 moments. In both of the examples above, speakers from two different cultures have the same gesture, physically, but its meaning differs sharply.PartⅢReading Comprehension(40 minutes)Section ADirections ：In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks.

In 2000, a quarter of those aged 15 and older were functionally illiterate(文盲）.Many 36 do not want to. Only one literate adult in three reads books. The 37 Brazilian reads 1. 8 non-academic books a year, less than half the figure in Europe and the United States. In a recent survey of readinghabits, Brazilians came 27th out of 30 countries. Argentines, their neighbors, 38 18th.The government and businesses are all struggling in different ways to change this. On March 13 the government 39 a National Plan for Books and Reading. This seeks to boost reading, by founding libraries and financing publishers among other things.One discouragement to reading is that books are 40 . Most books have small print-runs, pushing up their price.Section 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 theinformation is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is markedwith a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.The Touch-Screen GenerationA)On a chilly day last spring, a few dozen developers of children’s apps(应用程序）for phones and tablets(平板电脑)gathered at an old beach resort in Monterey, California, to show off their games. The gathering was organized by Warren Buckleitner, a longtime reviewer of interactive children’s media. Buckleitner spent the breaks testing whether his own remote-control helicopter could reach the hairs second story, while various children who had come with their parents looked up in awe(敬畏）and delight. But mostly they looked down, at the iPads and other tablets displayed around the hall like so many open boxes of candy. I walked around and talked with developers, and several quoted a famous saying of Maria Montessori’s, “ The hands are the instruments of man’s intelligence.’’B)What, really, would Maria Montessori have made of this scene? The 30 or so children here were not down atthe shore poking(戳) their fingers in the sand or running them along stones or picking seashells. Instead they were all inside, alone or in groups of two or three, their faces a few inches from a screen, their hands doing things Montessori surely did not imagine.C)In 2011, the American Academy of Pediatrics updated its policy on very young children and media. In 1999,the group had discouraged television viewing for children younger than 2, citing research on brain development that showed this age groups critical need for “direct interactions with parents and other significant care givers.”The updated report began by acknowledging that things had changed significantly since then. In 2006, 90% of parents said that their children younger than 2 consumed some form of electronic media. Nevertheless, the group took largely the same approach it did in 1999, uniformly discouraging passive media use, on any type of screen, for these kids. (For older children, the academy noted, “high-quality programs” could have “educational benefits.”）The 2011 report mentioned “smart cell phone” and “new screen” technologies, but did not address interactive apps. Nor did it bring up the possibility that has likely occurred to those 90% of American parents that some good might come from those little swiping（在电子产品上刷）fingers.D) I had come to the developers,conference partly because I hoped that this particular set of parents,enthusiastic as they were about interactive media, might help me out of this problem, that they might offersome guiding principle for American parents who are clearly never going to meet the academy’s ideals, and atsome level do not want to. Perhaps this group would be able to express clearly some benefits of the newtechnology that the more cautious doctors weren’t ready to address.E) I fell into conversation with a woman who had helped develop Montessori Letter Sounds, an app that teachespreschoolers the Montessori methods of spelling. She was a former Montessori teacher and a mother of four. Imyself have three children who are all fans of the touch screen. What games did her kids like to play, I asked,hoping for suggestions I could take home. “ They don’t play all that much. ”Really? Why not?“Because I don’t allow it. We have a rule of no screen time during the week, unless it’s clearly educational. ’’No screen time? None at all? That seems at the outer edge of restrictive, even by the standards ofovercontrolling parents.“On the weekends, they can play. I give them a limit of half an hour and then stop. Enough.”F) Her answer so surprised me that I decided to ask some of the other developers who were also parents whattheir domestic ground rules for screen time were. One said only on airplanes and long car rides. Another saidWednesdays. and weekends, for half an hour. The most permissive said half an hour a day, which was aboutmy rule at home. At one point I sat with one of the biggest developers of e-book apps for kids, and his family.The small kid was starting to fuss in her high chair, so the mom stuck an iPad in front of her and played ashort movie so everyone else could enjoy their lunch. When she saw me watching, she gave me the universaltense look of mothers who feel they are being judged. “ At home,” she assured me, “ I only let her watchmovies in Spanish. ’”G) By their reactions, these parents made me understand the problem of our age: as technology becomes almosteverywhere in our lives, American parents are becoming more, not less, distrustful of what it might be doingto their children. Technological ability has not, for parents, translated into comfort and ease. On the one hand,parents want their children to swim expertly in the digital stream that they will have to navigate(航行) alltheir lives; on the other hand, they fear that too much digital media, too early, will sink them. Parents end uptreating tablets as precision surgical(外科的）instruments, devices that might perform miracles for theirchild’s IQ and help him win some great robotics competition——but only if they are used just so. Otherwise,their child could end up one of those sad, pale creatures who can^ make eye contact and has a girlfriend wholives only in the virtual world.H) Norman Rockwell, a 20th-century artist, never painted Boy Swiping Finger on Screen, and our own vision ofa perfect childhood has never been adjusted to accommodate that now-common scene. Add to that ourmodem fear that every parenting decision may have lasting consequences—that every minute of enrichmentlost or mindless entertainment indulged（放纵的）will add up to some permanent handicap(障碍)in thefuture—and you have deep guilt and confusion. To date, no body of research has proved that the iPad willmake your preschooler smarter or teach her to speak Chinese, or alternatively that it will rust her nervoussystem—the device has been out for only three years, not much more than the time it takes some academics tofind funding and gather research subjects. So what is a parent to do?46.The author attended the conference, hoping to find some guiding principles for parenting in the electronicage.47.American parents are becoming more doubtful about the benefits technology is said to bring to their children.48.Some experts believe that human intelligence develops by the use of hands.49.The author found a former Montessori teacher exercising strict control over her kids, screen time.50.Research shows interaction with people is key to babies, brain development.51.So far there has been no scientific proof of the educational benefits of iPads.52.American parents worry that overuse of tablets will create problems with their kids, interpersonalrelationships.53.The author expected developers of children’s apps to specify the benefits of the new technology.54.The kids at the gathering were more fascinated by the iPads than by the helicopter.55.The author permits her children to use the screen for at most half an hour a day.Section CDirections：There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinishedstatements. For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),, C) and D).You should decide on thebest choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.When young women were found to make only 82 percent of what their male peers do just one year out of college, many were at a loss to explain it.All the traditional reasons put forward to interpret the pay gap—that women fall behind when they leave the workforce to raise kids, for example, or that they don’t seek as many management roles— failed to justify this one.These young women didn’t have kids yet. And because they were just one year removed from their undergraduatedegrees, few of these women yet had the chance to go after (much less decline) leadership roles.But there are other reasons why the pay gap remains so persistent. The first is that no matter how many women may be getting college degrees, the university experience is still an unequal one. The second is that ourhigher education system is not designed to focus on the economic consequences of our students, years on campus.Now that women are the majority of college students and surpass men in both the number of undergraduate and advanced degrees awarded, one might think the college campus is a pretty equal place. It is not. Studies showthat while girls do better than boys in high school, they start to trail off during their college years. They enroll indifferent kinds of classes, tend to major in less rigorous(非常严格的)subjects, and generally head off with lessambitious plants.As a result, it’s not surprising that even the best educated young women enter the workplace with a slight disadvantage. Their college experience leaves them somewhat confused, still stumbling(栽倒) over the dilemmastheir grandmothers, generation sought to destroy. Are they supposed to be pretty or smart? Strong or sexy(性感的)？All their lives, today’s young women have been pushed to embrace both perfection and passion—to pursuescience and sports, math and theater—and do it all as well as they possibly can. No wonder they are notnegotiating for higher salaries as soon as they get out of school. They are too exhausted, and too scared of failing.56.Traditionally, it is believed that women earn less than men because _________________________ .A)they have failed to take as many rigorous coursesB)they do not feel as fit for management rolesC)they feel obliged to take care of their kids at homeD)they do not exhibit the needed leadership qualities57.What does the author say about America’s higher education system?A)It does not offer specific career counseling to women.B)It does not consider its economic impact on graduates.C)It does not take care of women students’ special needs.D)It does not encourage women to take rigorous subjects.58.What does the author say about today’s college experience?A)It is different for male and female students.B)It is not the same as that of earlier generations.C)It is more exhausting than most women expect.D)It is not so satisfying to many American students.59.What does the author say about women students in college?A)They have no idea how to bring out their best.B)They drop a course when they find it too rigorous.C)They are not as practical as men in choosing courses.D)They don5t perform as well as they did in high school.60.How does the author explain the pay gap between men and women fresh from college?A)Women are too worn out to be ambitious.B)Women are not ready to take management roles.C)Women are caught between career and family.D)Women are not good at negotiating salaries.Passage TwoQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.Reading leadership literature, you’d sometimes think that everyone has the potential to be an effective leader.I don’t believe that to be true. In fact, I see way fewer truly effective leaders than I see people stuck inpositions of leadership who are sadly incompetent and seriously misguided about their own abilities.Part of the reason this happens is a lack of honest self-assessment by those who aspire to（追求）leadership in the first place.We’v e all met the type of individual who simply must take c harge. Whether it’s a decision-making session, a basketball game, or a family outing, they can’t help grabbing the lead dog position and clinging on to it for dearlife. They believe they’v e natural born leaders.Truth is, they’r e nothing of the sort. True leaders don^ assume that ifs their divine (神圣的) right to take charge every time two or more people get together. Quite the opposite. A great leader will assess each situation onits merits, and will only take charge when their position, the situation, and/or the needs of the moment demand it.Many business executives confuse leadership with action. They believe that constant motion somehow generates leadership as a byproduct. Faced with any situation that can’t be solved by the sheer force of activity,they generate a dust cloud of impatience. Their one leadership tool is volume: if they think you aren’t working ashard as they think you should, their demands become increasingly louder and harsher.True leaders understand the value of action, of course, but it isn’t their only tool. In fact, it isn’t even their primary tool. Great leaders see more than everyone else answers, solutions, patterns, problems, opportunities. Theyknow it’s vitally important to do, but they also know that thinking, understanding, reflection and interpretation areequally important.If you’r e too concerned with outcomes to the extent that you manipulate and intimidate others to achieve those outcomes, then you aren’t leading at all, you’r e dictating. A true leader is someone who develops his or herteam so that they can and do hit their targets and achieve their goals.61.What does the author think of the leaders he knows?A)Many of them are used to taking charge.B)Few of them are equal to their positions.C)Many of them fail to fully develop their potential.D)Few of them are familiar with leadership literature.62.Why are some people eager to grab leadership positions?A)They believe they have the natural gift to lead.B)They believe in what leadership literature says.C)They have proved competent in many situations.D)They derive great satisfaction from being leaders.63.What characterizes a great leader according to the author?A)Being able to take prompt action when chances present themselves.B)Having a whole-hearted dedication to their divine responsibilities.C)Having a full understanding of their own merits and weaknesses.D)Being able to assess the situation carefully before taking charge.64.How will many business executives respond when their command fails to generate action?A) They reassess the situation at hand. C) They resort to any tool available.B) They become impatient and rude. D) They blame their team members.65.What is the author’s advice to leaders?A)Concentrate on one specific task at a time.B)Use different tools to achieve different goals.C)Build up a strong team to achieve their goals.D)Show determination when faced with tough tasks.Part IV Translation(30 minutes)Directions ：For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

From the outside, she looked no different from thousands of other sheep born on 36 farms. But Dolly, as the world soon came to realize, was no 37 lamb. She was cloned from a single cell of an adult female sheep, 38 long-held scientific dogma that had declared such a thing biologically impossible.A decade later, scientists are starting to come to grips with just how different Dolly was. Dozens of animals have been cloned since that first lamb—mice, cats, cows and, most recently, a dog—and it’s becoming 39 clear that they are all, in one way or another, defective.It’s 40 to think of clones as perfect carbon copies of the original. It turns out, though, that there are various degrees of genetic 41. That may come as a shock to people who have paid thousands of dollars to clone a pet cat only to discover that the baby cat looks and behaves 42 like their beloved pet—with a different- color coat of fur, perhaps, or a 43 different attitude toward its human hosts.And these are just the obvious differences. Not only are clones 44 from the original template（模板）by time, but they are also the product of an unnatural molecular mechanism that turns out not to be very good at making 45 copies. In fact, the process can embed small flaws in the genes of clones that scientists are only now discovering.A) abstractB) completelyC) desertedD) duplicationE) everythingF) identicalG) increasinglyH) miniatureI) nothingJ) ordinaryK) overturningL) separatedM) surroundingN) systematicallyO) tempting参考答案： 36-M-surrounding 37-J-ordinary 38-K-overturning 39-G-increasingly 40-O-tempting 41-D-duplication 42-I-nothing 43-B-completely 44-L-separated 45-F-identica lSection BShould Single-Sex Education Be Eliminated?[A] Why is a neuroscientist here debating single-sex schooling? Honestly, I had no fixed ideas on the topic when I started researching it for my book, Pink Brain, Blue Brain. Butany discussion of gender differences in children inevitably leads to this debate, so I felt compelled to dive into the research data on single-sex schooling. I read every study I could, weighed the existing evidence, and ultimately concluded that single-¬sex education is notthe answer to gender gaps in achievement—or the best way forward for today’s young people. After my book was published, I met several developmental and cognitive psychologists whose work was addressing gender and education from different angles, and we published a peer-reviewed Education Forum piece in Science magazine with the provocative title, “The Pseudoscience of Single-Sex Education.”[B] We showed that three lines of research used to justify single-sex schooling—educational, neuroscience, and social psychology—all fail to support its alleged benefits, and so the widely-held view that gender separation is somehow better for boys, girls, orboth is nothing more than a myth.The Research on Academic Outcomes[C] First, we reviewed the extensive educational research that has compared academic outcomes in students attending single-sex versus coeducational schools. The overwhelming conclusion when you put this enormous literature together is that there is no clear academic advantage of sitting in all-female or all-male classes, in spite of much popular belief to the contrary. I base this conclusion not on any individual study, but on large- scale and systematic reviews of thousands of studies conducted in every major English-speaking country.[D] Of course, there’re many excellent single-sex schools out there, but as these careful research reviews have demonstrated, it’s not their single-sex composition that makes them excellent. It’s all the other advantages that are typically packed into such schools, such as financial resources, quality of the faculty, and pro-¬academic culture, along with the family background and pre-selected ability of the students themselves that determine their outcomes.[E] A case in point is the study by Linda Sax at UCLA, who used data from a large national survey of college freshmen to evaluate the effect of single-sex versuscoeducational high schools. Commissioned by the National Coalition of Girls’ Schools, the raw findings look pretty good for the funders—higher SAT scores and a stronger academic orientation among women who had attended all girls' high schools (men weren’t studied). However, once the researchers controlled for both student and school attributes—measuressuch as family income, parents’ education, and school resources—most of these effects were erased or diminished.[F] When it comes to boys in particular, the data show that single-sex education is distinctly unhelpful for them. Among the minority of studies that have reported advantagesof single-sex schooling, virtually all of them were studies of girls. There’re no rigorous studies in the United States that find single-sex schooling is better for boys, and in fact, a separate line of research by economists has shown both boys and girls exhibit greater cognitive growth over the school year based on the “dose” of girls in a classroom. In fact, boys benefit even more than girls from having larger numbers of female classmates. Sosingle-sex schooling is really not the answer to the current “boy crisis” in education.Brain and Cognitive Development[G] The second line of research often used to justify single-sex education falls squarely within my area of expertise: brain and cognitive development. It's been more than a decade now since the “brain sex movement” began infiltrating（渗入）our schools, and there are literally hundreds of schools caught up in the fad（新潮）. Public schools in Wisconsin, Indiana, Florida and many other states now proudly declare on their websites that they separate boys and girls because “research solidly indicates that boys and girls learn differently,” due to “hard-wired” differences in their brains, eyes, ears, autonomic nervous systems, and more.[H] All of these statements can be traced to just a few would-be neuroscientists, especially physician Leonard Sax and therapist Michael Gurian. Each gives lectures, runs conferences, and does a lot of professional development on so-called “gender-specific learning.” I analyzed their various claims about sex differences in hearing, vision, language, math, stress responses, and “learning styles” in my book and a long peer-reviewed paper. Other neuroscientists and psychologists have similarly exposed their work.In short, the mechanisms by which our brains learn language, math, physics, and every other subject don’t differ between boys and girls. Of course, learning does vary a lot between individual students, but research reliably shows that this variance is far greater within populations of boys or girls than between the two sexes.[I] The equal protection clause of the U.S. Constitution prohibits separation of students by sex in public education that’s based on precisely this kind of “overbroad generalizations about the different talents, capacities, or preferences of males and females.” And the reason it is prohibited is because it leads far too easily tostereotyping and sex discrimination.Social Developmental Psychology[J] That brings me to the third area of research which fails to support single-sex schooling and indeed suggests the practice is actually harmful: social-developmental psychology.[K] It’s a well-proven finding in social psychology that segregation promotes stereotyping and prejudice, whereas intergroup contact reduces them—and the results are the same whether you divide groups by race, age, gender, body mass index, sexual orientation, or any other category. What’s more, children are especially vulnerable to this kind of bias, because they are dependent on adults for learning which social categories are important and why we divide people into different groups.[L] You don’t have to look far to find evidence of stereotyping and sex discrimination in single-sex schools. There was the failed single-sex experiment in California, where six school districts used generous state grants to set up separate boys' and girls' academies in the late 1990s. Once boys and girls were segregated, teachers resorted to traditional gender stereotypes to run their classes, and within just three years, five of the six districts had gone back to coeducation.[M] At the same time, researchers are increasingly discovering benefits of gender interaction in youth. A large British study found that children with other-sex oldersiblings（兄弟姐妹）exhibit less stereotypical play than children with same-sex older siblings, such as girls who like sports and building toys and boys who like art and dramatic play. Another study of high school social networks found less bullying and aggression the higher the density of mixed-sex friendships within a given adolescent network. Then there is the finding we cited in our Science paper of higher divorce and depression rates among a large group of British men who attended single-sex schools as teenagers, which might be explained by the lack of opportunity to learn about relationships during their formative years.[N] Whether in nursery school, high school, or the business world, gender segregation narrows our perceptions of each other, facilitating stereotyping and sexist attitudes. It’s very simple: the more we structure children and adolescents’ environment around gender distinctions and separation, the more they will use these categories as the primary basisfor understanding themselves and others.[O] Gender is an important issue in education. There are gaps in reading, writing, and science achievement that should be narrower. There are gaps in career choice that should be narrower—if we really want to maximize human potential and American economic growth. But stereotyping boys and girls and separating them in the name of fictitious（虚构的）brain differences is never going to close these gaps.46. Hundreds of schools separate boys from girls in class on the alleged brain and cognitive differences.47. A review of extensive educational research shows no obvious academic advantage of single-sex schooling.48. The author did not have any fixed ideas on single-sex education when she began her research on the subject.49. Research found men who attended single-sex schools in their teens were more likely to suffer from depression.50. Studies in social psychology have shown segregation in school education has a negative impact on children.51. Reviews of research indicate there are more differences in brain and cognitive development within the same sex than between different sexes.52. The findings of the national survey of college freshmen about the impact of single-sex schooling fail to take into account student and school attributes.53. It wasn’t long before most of the school districts that experimented with single-sex education abandoned the practice.54. Boys from coeducational classes demonstrate greater cognitive abilities according to the economists' research.55. As careful research reviews show, academic excellence in some single-sex schools is attributed to other factors than single-sex education.参考答案：GCAMK HELFDSection CPassage OneInternational governments' inaction concerning sustainable development is clearly worrying but the proactive（主动出击的）approaches of some leading-edge companies are encouraging. Toyota, Wal-Mart, DuPont, M&S and General Electric have made tackling environmental wastes a key economic driver.DuPont committed itself to a 65% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in the 10 years prior to 2010. By 2007, DuPont was saving $2.2 billion a year through energy efficiency, the same as its total declared profits that year. General Electric aims to reduce the energyintensity of its operations by 50% by 2015. They have invested heavily in projects designedto change the way of using and conserving energy.Companies like Toyota and Wal-Mart are not committing to environmental goals out of the goodness of their hearts. The reason for their actions is a simple yet powerful realisation that the environmental and economic footprints fit well together. When M&S launched its “Plan A” sustainability programme in 2007, it was believed that it would cost over £200 million in the first five years. However, the initiative had generated £105 million by2011/12.When we prevent physical waste, increase energy efficiency or improve resource productivity, we save money, improve profitability and enhance competitiveness. In fact,there are often huge “quick win” opportunities, thanks to years of neglect.However, there is a considerable gap between leading-edge companies and the rest of the pack. There are far too many companies still delaying creating a lean and green business system, arguing that it will cost money or require sizable capital investments. They remain stuck in the “environment is cost” mentality. Being environmentally friendly does not have to cost money. In fact, going beyond compliance saves cost at the same time that itgenerates cash, provided that management adopts the new lean and green model.Lean means doing more with less. Nonetheless, in most companies, economic and environmental continuous improvement is viewed as being in conflict with each other. This is one of the biggest opportunities missed across most industries. The size of the opportunityis enormous. The 3% Report recently published by World Wildlife Fund and CDP shows that the economic prize for curbing carbon emissions in the US economy is $780 billion between nowand 2020. It suggests that one of the biggest levers for delivering this opportunity is “increased efficiency through management and behavioural change”—in other words, lean and green management.Some 50 studies show that companies that commit to such aspirational goals as zero waste, zero harmful emissions, and zero use of non-renewable resources are financiallyoutperforming their competitors. Conversely, it was found that climate disruption is already costing $1.2 trillion annually, cutting global GDP by 1.6%. Unaddressed, this will double by 2030.56. What does the author say about some leading-edge companies?A) They operate in accordance with government policies.B) They take initiatives in handling environmental wastes.C) They are key drivers in their nations，economic growth.D) They are major contributors to environmental problems.57. What motivates Toyota and Wal-Mart to make commitments to environmental protection?A) The goodness of their hearts. B) A strong sense of responsibility.C) The desire to generate profits. D) Pressure from environmentalists.58. Why are so many companies reluctant to create an environment-friendly business system?A) They are bent on making quick money. B) They do not have the capital for the investment.C) They believe building such a system is too costly. D) They lack the incentive to change business practices.59. What is said about the lean and green model of business?A) It helps businesses to save and gain at the same time.B) It is affordable only for a few leading-edge companies.C) It is likely to start a new round of intense competition.D) It will take a long time for all companies to embrace it.60. What is the finding of the studies about companies committed to environmental goals?A) They have greatly enhanced their sense of social responsibility.B) They do much better than their counterparts in terms of revenues.C) They have abandoned all the outdated equipment and technology.D) They make greater contributions to human progress than their rivals.Passage TwoIf you asked me to describe the rising philosophy of the day, I'd say it is data-ism. We now have the ability to gather huge amounts of data. This ability seems to carry with it certain cultural assumptions—that everything that can be measured should be measured; that data is a transparent and reliable lens that allows us to filter out emotionalism and ideology; that data will help us do remarkable things—like foretell the fixture.Over the next year, I’m hoping to get a better grip on some of the questions raised by the data revolution: In what situations should we rely on intuitive pattern recognition and in which situations should we ignore intuition and follow the data? What kinds of events are predictable using statistical analysis and what sorts of events are not?I confess I enter this in a skeptical frame of mind, believing that we tend to get carried away in our desire to reduce everything to the quantifiable. But at the outset let me celebrate two things data does really well.First, it's really good at exposing when our intuitive view of reality is wrong. For example, nearly every person who runs for political office has an intuitive sense that they can powerfully influence their odds of winning the election if they can just raise and spend more money. But this is largely wrong.After the 2006 election, Sean Trende constructed a graph comparing the incumbent（在任者的）campaign spending advantages with their eventual margins of victory. There was barely any relationship between more spending and a bigger victory.Likewise, many teachers have an intuitive sense that different students have different learning styles: some are verbal and some are visual; some are linear, some are holistic（整体的）.Teachers imagine they will improve outcomes if they tailor their presentations to each student. But there’s no evidence to support this either.Second, data can illuminate patterns of behavior we haven’t yet noticed. For example,I've always assumed people who frequently use words like “I,” “me,” and “mine” are probably more self-centered than people who don't. But as James Pennebaker of the University of Texas notes in his book, The Secret Life of Pronouns, when people are feeling confident, they are focused on the task at hand, not on themselves. High-status, confident people use fewer “I” words, not more.Our brains often don’t notice subtle verbal patterns, but Pennebaker’s computers can. Younger writers use more negative and past-tense words than older writers who use more positive and future-tense words.In sum, the data revolution is giving us wonderful ways to understand the present and the past. Will it transform our ability to predict and make decisions about the future?We’ll see.61. What do data-ists assume they can do?A) Transform people’s cultural identity. B) Change the way future events unfold.C) Get a firm grip on the most important issues. D) Eliminate emotional and ideological bias.62. What do people running for political office think they can do?A) Use data analysis to predict the election result. B) Win the election if they can raise enough funds.C) Manipulate public opinion with favorable data. D) Increase the chances of winning by foul means.63. Why do many teachers favor the idea of tailoring their presentations to different students?A) They think students prefer flexible teaching methods.B) They will be able to try different approaches.C) They believe students，learning styles vary.D) They can accommodate students with special needs.64. What does James Pennebaker reveal in The Secret Life of Pronouns?A) The importance of using pronouns properly.B ) Repeated use of first-person pronouns by self-centered people.C) Frequent use of pronouns and future tense by young people.D) A pattern in confident people’s use of pronouns.65. Why is the author skeptical of the data revolution?A) Data may not be easily accessible. B) Errors may occur with large data samples.C) Data cannot always do what we imagine it can. D) Some data may turn out to be outdated.参考答案：56. D）They are major contributors to environmental problems. 57. C）The desire to generate profits. 58.

Turning the right thumb down.Question 17A. Looking away from them.B. Forming a circle with fingers.C. Bowing one's head them.D. Waving or pointing to them.Question 18A. Looking one's superior in the eye.B. Keeping one's arms folded while talking.C. Showing the sole of one's foot to a guest.D. Using a lot of gestures during a conversation.Passage OneBody language, especially gestures, varies among cultures. For example, a nod of the head means “yes” to most of us. But in Bulgaria and Greece a nod means “no” and a shake of the head means “yes”. Likewise, a sign for OK, forming a circle with our forefinger and thumb, means zero in France and money in Japan. Waving or pointing to an Arab business person would be considered rude because that is how Arabs call their dogs over. Folded arms signal pride in Finland, but disrespect in Fiji. The number of bows that the Japanese exchange on greeting each other, as well as the length and the depth of the bows, signals the social status each party feels towards the other. Italians might think you’re bor ed unless you use a lot of gestures during discussions. Many American men sit with their legs crossed with one ankle resting over the opposite knee. However, this would be considered an insult in Muslim countries, where one would never show the sole of the foot to a guest. Likewise, Americans consider eye contact very important, often not trusting someone who is afraid to look you in the eye. But in Japan and many Latin American countries, keeping the eyes lowered is a sign of respect. To look a partner full in the eye is considered a sign of ill breeding and is felt to be annoying.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. What gesture do Bulgarians and Greeks use to express negative responses?17. What is likely to offend Arab business people?18. What is considered to be impolite in Muslim countries?Passage TwoQuestions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.Question 19A. They had to beg for foot after the harvest.B. They grew wheat and corn on a small farm.C. They shared a small flat with their relatives.D. The children walked to school on dirt roads.Question 20A. Tour Ecuador's Andes Mountains.B. Earn an annual income of $2800.C. Purchase a plot to build a home on.D. Send their children to school.Question 21A. The achievements of the Trickle Up Program.B. A new worldwide economic revolution.C. Different forms of assistance to the needy.D. The life of poor people in developing countries.Passage TwoThree years ago, Puncha Maya, her husband and five children lived in a shaky flat in Southern Nepal. Every morning, the parents walked the dirt roads seeking work in the rice fields. After the harvest, the family went begging for food. Today, the Mayas own a small paper-bag making company. With the money they've earned, the Mayas have purchased a small plot, on which they grow vegetables and raise goats for additional income. In fact, the family has saved $68. This is remarkable in a country with an average annual income of $160. Grace Mbakwa, her husband and eight children once lived hand-to-mouth in Cameroon. Today, the Mbakwas run a clothing manufacturing business and own a home. They are able to send their children to school, at a costly annual sum of $2 800.The idea of starting her own business seemed impossible to Pilar Moya, a poor woman from Atahualpa high in Ecuador's Andes Mountains. Today, however, she is one of the proud owners of a bakery specializing in sweet cakes. These businesses are part of economic revolution sweeping the developing world. The sponsor is the Trickle Up Program—a non-profit organization founded by New Yorkers Glen and Mildred Leet. This organization offers people like the Mayas, the Mbakwas and Moyas modest $100 grants. Since 1979, the program has helped over 130,000 of the world’s neediest people in 90 countries win small life-saving victories over poverty. And it has turned conventional thinking about foreign aid on its head.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.19. What do we learn about Puncha Maya’s family of three years ago?20. What are the Mbakwas able to do now?21. What does the speaker mainly talk about?Passage ThreeQuestions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.Question 22A. They are highly sensitive to cold.B. They are vitally important to our life.C. They are a living part of our body.D. They are a chief source of our pain.Question 23A. It has to be removed in time by a dentist.B. It is a rare oral disease among old people.C. It contains many nerves and blood vessels.D. It is sticky and colorless film on the teeth.Question 24A. It can change into acids causing damage to their outer covering.B. It greatly reduces their resistance to the attacks of bacteria.C. It makes their nerves and blood vessels more sensitive to acid food.D. It combines with food particles to form a film on their surface.Question 25A. Food particles.B. Gum disease.C. Unhealthy living habits.D. Chemical erosion.Passage ThreeTake care of your teeth and your teeth will take care of you. Your teeth are a living part of your body. They have nerves and blood vessels. Diseased teeth can cause pain, die and fall out. Plaque is the main enemy of healthy teeth. Everyone has plaque. It is a sticky colorless film that coats the teeth. Plaque is always forming on the teeth, especially at the gum line. If plaque is not removed, it builds up and gets under the gum line. Plaque that is left on the teeth for some time hardens; the result is tooth decay and gum disease. The bacteria in plaque live on sugar. They change sugar into acids, which break down the tooth's harder outer covering. If left untreated, decay goes deeper and deeper into the tooth. After a while, the decay reaches the nerves and blood vessels of the inner tooth. By the time this happens, the tooth has probably started to ache. In addition to tooth decay, there are also gum diseases to watch out for. The bacteria in plaque make poisons that attack the gums. Small pockets form around the teeth. The pockets trap more bacteria and food particles. Finally, the bone supporting the teeth is attacked and starts to shrink. Teeth become loose and may fall out. Adults lose most teeth this way. Keep your mouth healthy.When you brush your teeth, do a good job.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.22. What does the speaker say about our teeth?23. What does the speaker say about plaque?24. Why is sugar harmful to teeth?25. What causes adults to lose most of their teeth according to the speaker?复合式听写Stunt people(替身演员) are not movie stars, but they are the hidden heroes of many movies.They were around long before films.
