Each word can beTHE TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITIES in Nanjing, East China’s Jiangsu province, are reportedly considering a 31 to cap the number of order for takeout deliverymen, many of whom have been 32 of violating traffic rules on a daily basis. Beijing News commented on Saturday:At least 242 traffic accidents in the city in the first half of this year involved takeout deliverymen, resulting in 33 to about 170, prompting the local transportation authorities to tighten their 34 of such takeout deliveries.So the Nanjing authorities have good reason to intervene, but placing a cap on the number of takeout orders 35 to deliverymen is a questionable move. Deliverymen hired by most platforms are allowed to go for any order up for grabs even when they do not have enough time to finish the delivery.Many reckless riders tend to disregard the traffic rules because failing to deliver an order within a given time - 36 around 20 minutes - can cost them one-third of the money they make. Such a rigid assessment mechanism 37 does not take into account any unavoidable delays.There is no doubt that timely deliveries must not come at the 38 of traffic order or the well-being of deliverymen. Food delivery service platforms need to provide proper training for theirdelivery staff to ensure they ride safely, as well as give them reasonable incentives and penalties. The local traffic enforcers can help food delivery companies to better manage their staff without 39 with their daily operations.In other words, limiting the number of takeout orders may overstep administrative boundaries. There are viable alternatives that are worth emulating, such as a code of conduct for deliverymen, along with a new management system that makes deliverymen 40 for their vehicles, most of which are currently registered under the name of their employers. A credit deduction policy that links the driving records of deliverymen with their pay might be another.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.In any planning system, from the simplest budgeting to the most complex corporate planning, there is an annual process. This is partly due to the fact that firms _ 41__ their accounting on a yearly basis, but also because similar _ 42__ often occur in the market.Usually, the larger the firm, the longer the planning takes. But 43 , planning for next year may start nine months or more in advance, with various stages of evaluation leading to 44 of the complete plan three months before the start of the year.Planning continues, however, throughout the year, since managers 45 progress against targets, while looking forward to the next year. What is happening now will 46 the objectives and plans for the future.In today's business climate, as markets constantly change and become more difficult to 47 , some analysts believe that long-term planning is 48 . In some markets they may be right, as long as companies can build the sort of flexibility into their operations which allows them to 49 to any sudden changes.Most firms, however, need to plan more than one year ahead in order to 50 .their long-term goals. This may reflect the time it takes to commission and build a new production plant, or, in marketing 51 , it may be a question of how long it takes to research and launch a range of new products, and reach a certain 52 in the market. If, for example, it is going to take five years for a particular airline to become the 53 choice amongst business travelers on certain routes, the airline must plan for the various 54 involved.Every one-year plan, therefore, must be 55 in relation to longer-term plans,and it should contain die stages that are necessary to achieve the final goals.41.A make up B carry out C bring about D put down42.A patterns B guides C designs D distributions43.A surprisingly B contrarily C equally D typically44.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Not too many decades ago it seemed “obvious” both to the general public and to sociologists that modern society has changed people’s natural relations, loosened their responsibilities to relatives and neighbors, and substituted in their place loose relationships with passing acquaintances(相识之人). However, in recent years a growing body of research has revealed that the “obvious” is not true. It seems that if you are a city resident, you typically know a smaller proportion of your neighbors than you do if you are a resident of a smaller community. But, for the most part, this fact has few significant consequences. It does not necessarily follow that if you know few of your neighbors you will know no one else.Even in very large cities, people maintain close social ties within small, private social worlds. Indeed, the number and quality of meaningful relationships do not differ between more and less urban people. Small-town residents are more involved with relatives than are big-city residents are. Yet city residents make up for it by developing friendships with people who share similar interests and activities. Urbanism may produce a different style of life, but the quality of life does not differ between town and city. Nor are residents of large communities more likely to display psychological symptoms of stress or alienation, a feeling of not belonging, than are residents of smaller communities are. However, city residents do worry more about crime, and this leads them to a distrust of strangers.These findings do not imply that urbanism makes little or no difference. If neighbors are strangers to one another, they are less likely to sweep the sidewalk of an elderly couple living next door or keep an eye out for young trouble makers. Moreover, as Wirth suggested, there may be a link between a community’s population size and its social heterogeneity(多样性). For instance, sociologists have found much evidence that the size of a community is associated with bad behavior including gambling, drugs, etc. Large-city residents are also more likely than their small-town residents to have a cosmopolitan(见多识广的) outlook, to display less responsibility to traditional family roles, to vote for leftist political candidates, and to be willing to accept nontraditional religious groups, unpopular political groups. Everything considered, heterogeneity and unusual behavior seem to be outcomes of large population size.56. According to the paragraph 1, it was once a common belief that people in modern society __________ .A) tended to acquaint themselves with people passing byB) could not develop very close relationships with othersC) bore great responsibilities to neighbors and relativesD) usually had more friends than small-town residents57. One of the consequences of urbanism is that the city residents __________ .A. suffer from the lack of friendshipB. lower the quality of relationshipsC. show little concern for other peopleD. become suspicious of each other58.We can learn from the passage that the bigger a community is,__________A) the more open-minded people are B. the more similar its interests isC) the more likely it it to display stress D) the better the quality of life is59. What is the passage mainly about?A. Advantages and disadvantages of living in big cities or small townsB. Minor differences in the interpersonal relations between cities and townsC The positive role that urbanism has been playing in our modern society.D The strong feeling of alienation that city residents are suffering.(B)SELF-REFLECTION OF TEACHING PRACTICES READING, WRITING,TALKINGSchool: Date:Grade(s) presently teaching:Please do not sign your name.

SELF-SELECTION(C)“The Heart of the Matter,” the just-released report by the American Academy of Arts andSciences (AAAS), deserves praise for affirming the importance of the humanities and social sciences to the prosperity and security of liberal democracy in America. Regrettably, however, the report's failure to address the true nature of the crisis facing liberal education may cause more harm than good.In 2010, leading congressional Democrats and Republicans sent letters to the AAAS asking that it identify actions that could be taken by "federal, state and local governments, universities, foundations, educators, individual benefactors and others" to "maintain national excellence in humanities and social scientific scholarship and education."In response, the American Academy formed the Commission on the Humanities and Social Sciences. Among the commission's 51 members are top-tier-university presidents, scholars, lawyers, judges, and business executives, as well as prominent figures from diplomacy, filmmaking, music and journalism.The goals identified in the report are generally admirable. Because representative government presupposes an informed citizenry, the report supports full literacy; stresses the study of history and government, particularly American history and American government; and encourages the use of new digital technologies. To encourage innovation and competition, the report calls for increased investment in research, the crafting of coherent curricula that improve students' ability to solve problems and communicate effectively in the 21st century, increased funding for teachers and the encouragement of scholars to bring their learning to bear on the great challenges of the day. The report also advocates greater study of foreign languages, international affairs and the expansion of study abroad programs.Unfortunately, despite 2½ years in the making, "The Heart of the Matter" never gets to the heart of the matter: the illiberal nature of liberal education at our leading colleges and universities. The commission ignores that for several decades America's colleges and universities have produced graduates who don't know the content and character of liberal education and are thus deprived of its benefits. Sadly, the spirit of inquiry once at home on campus has been replaced by the use of the humanities and social sciences as vehicles for publicizing "progressive," or left-liberal propaganda.Today, professors routinely treat the progressive interpretation of history and progressive public policy as the proper subject of study while portraying conservative or classical liberal ideas—such as free markets or self-reliance —as falling outside the boundaries of routine, and sometimes legitimate, intellectual investigation.The AAAS displays great enthusiasm for liberal education. Yet its report may well set back reform by obscuring the depth and breadth of the challenge that Congress asked it to illuminate.63. Influential figures in the Congress required that the AAAS report on how to _____.[A] maintain people’s interest in liberal education [B] define the government’s role in education[C]keep a leading position in liberal education [D] safeguard individual’s rights to education64. Which one of the following statements about what the AAAS plan suggests is true?[A] an exclusive study of American history [B] a greater emphasis on theoretical subjects[C] the application of emerging technologies [D] funding for the study of foreign languages65.It can be inferred from the passage that .A.professor are routinely supportive of free marketsB. intellectual investigation are put great value on in collegeC. progressive public policy is out of boundaries of proper studyD. professors have prejudice against classical liberal ideas66. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?[A]. The AAAS’s Contribution to Liberal Education [B] Illiberal Education and “The Heart of the Matter”[C] Ways to Grasp “The Heart of the Matter” [D] Progressive Policy vs. Liberal Education Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.The Tutorial System of Oxford University In the University of Oxford, teaching is conducted primarily through the tutorial system.It is one of the most unique and renowned methods of teaching across the world.The weekly tutorial consists of a one-hour meeting between the tutor and small numbers of students (usually two or four).During this time, an essay prepared specifically for that tutorial is read by students and commented upon by the tutor.At the end of the tutorial, the tutor will assign the topic of study for the forthcoming week and suggest readings. 67Meanwhile, they are also complemented by departmental lectures which are conducted on a university wide basis, lab work, and seminars often with groups of perhaps 10 students.Tutorials have gained their reputation because of the close relationship they maintain between the tutor and the student.The tutorial system provides undergraduates with direct and in most cases weekly contact with tutors in their academic fields. 68Before the weekly tutorial, students are required to prepare an essay or other works, which they read or present to the tutor.During each tutorial, students are expected to communicate, debate, analyze, and critique the ideas of others as well as their own in conversations with the professor and fellow-students.The tutorial system has great value that it creates learning and assessment opportunities which are highly authentic and difficult to fake,as the student's work is discussed on the spot.69 The contrast between tutorials and large lectures common in the American universities is obvious.In the typical American university, students are taught by the same specialists, in the same manner, and held to the same standards.However, during tutorials, students have the opportunity to explore their own ideas directly with experts in particular subjects. 70 As a result, students must engage in extensive independent reading and research, using the resources available, under the guidance of the tutor.IV. Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.HopeNothing in my life had prepared me for what I had to do. Choosing my words carefully, and fighting to stay calm, I told my 4-year-old daughter that her grandmother had suffered a stroke (中风), that she was unconscious, and that the doctors said she would probably never wake up. As she moved closer to me, Amelia looked at me, eyes bright, and said, “Maybe Grandma will be okay.” “Maybe she will,” I said, keeping back the tears. But I knew better. I was flying up to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, from our Florida home in the morning to say good-bye to my mom.The rest of that awful week, I joined my brother and father sitting by my mother’s side in the hospital room. I held her hand and talked to her. I told her that we still needed her. I told her that it wasn’t time to leave ye t. I told her how much I loved her. And I told her that her little granddaughter, Amelia, believed that she’d get better. The doctors, with all their years of training and experience, offered no hope for recovery. The damage was simply too extensive.A couple of weeks later, an odd thing happened. Mom woke up! And then she persevered through a long and tough process of restoration to health, during which she had to learn to walk, read, and write all over again, and eventually returned home to Dad. The only one who wasn’tshocked was Amelia. The doctors couldn’t explain it. Amelia didn’t need to. Hope came as naturally to her as breathing.So why are we so afraid to hope sometimes? Maybe it’s because over the years, life’s disappointments can turn us to disillusionment(理想破灭). How many times have you heard someone say: “Hope for the best, expect the worst”? That’s not really hope at all.Hope is being able to look at our world with all of the joy and wonder of a child.V.
