Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneFive or six year ago, I attended a lecture on the science of attention. A philosopher who conducts research in the medical school was talking about attention blindness, the basic feature of the human brain that, when we concentrate intensely on one task, causes us to miss just about everything else. Because we can’t see what we can’t see, our lecture was determined to catch us in the act. He had us watch a video of six people tossing basketball back and forth, three in white shirts and three in black, and our task was to keep track only of the tosses among the people in white. The tape rolled, and everyone began counting.Everyone except me, I’m dyslexic(有阅读障碍的), and the moment I saw that grainy tape with the confusing basketball tosses, I knew I wouldn’t be a ble to keep track of their movements, so I let my mind wander. My curiosity was aroused, though, when about 30 seconds into the tape, a gorilla(大猩猩) came in among the players. She (we later learned a female student was in the gorilla suit) start at the camera, thumped her chest, and the strode away while they continued passing theballs.When the tape stopped, the philosopher asked how many people had counted at least d a dozen basketball tosses. Hands went up all over. He then asked who had counted 13, 14, and congratulated those who’d scored the perfect 15. The he asked, “And who saw the gorilla?”I raised my hand and was surprised to discover I was the only person at my table and one of only three or four in the large room to do so. He’d set me up, trapping us in our own attention blindness. Yes, there had been a trick, but he wasn’t the one who had played it on us. By concentrating so hard on counting, we had managed to miss the gorilla in the midst.21. This passage describes_______A. basketballB. an experimentC. a philosopherD. a gorilla22. ‘’Attentions blindness” refer to_______.A. the fact that one can’t see what one can’t seeB. seeing one thing while missing all else.C. keeping track of just about everythingD. the condition of being blind to details23. “Catch us in the act” (Para. 1) is closest in meaning of “find us ________”A. doing something improperB. sleeping during the lectureC. counting the basketball tossesD. failing to notice something within sight24. How many people in the room saw the gorilla in the video?A. 1B. 3 or 4C.13 or 14D.1525. Whom dose “he”(last paragraph) refer to ?A. The authorB. The gorillaC. The lectureD. The studentPassage TwoThere are few sadder sights than a pile of fan letter, lovingly decorated with hand drawings, suffering in a bin. The sparkly envelopes were addressed to Taylor Swift, a pop star much beloved by teenage and pre-teen girls. “Dear Taylor”, read one discard message, “I love you so much!! You’re the best! And you’re really beautiful and cute!! I’m really enjoying your songsThis, along with hundreds of other similar letters sent from around the world, was discovered in Nashville recycling disposal unit by a local woman. Swift’s management was quick to reassure her admirers that they had been thrown out accidentally. The response may come as a disappointment to any devotee who imagine, as they compose their letter, that Swift make time to view each one personallyDealing with pile of fan mail is, however, an administrative burden for most celebrities. While some celebrities do like to go through their mail personally, the majority simply do not have time. But the fact f their correspondence is something most committed fans will not wish to dwell on, say Lynn Zubernis, an expert in the psychology of fandom at West Chester University.“There’s this little bit of every fan that thinks theirs will be the one that stands out- it’s not an expectation, but a hope that theirs will be seen by the celebrity.”While the relationship between the fan and the celebrity may exist only in the mind of the former, it sterns from a deeply-rooted human need for community and belonging, Zubernis believe. As a result, even receiving a mass-produced letter of acknowledgment and a photo stamped with a reproduced signature can be a powerful experience.“People have a tremendous need to connect with the person they are idolizing(偶像化),” she says, “They can’t ring up and say, ‘ Can we have coffee?’ It’s not about the autograph(签名). It’s about the moment of connection.”26. Which of the following statements is true?A. The letters in the bin were exaggerating.B. Some letters to Swift were thrown away unread.C. A woman discovered the letters and discard themD. Poorly decorated letters were left unread27. Swift management claimed that______A. Swift had read each one of lettersB. fans could trust them with their lettersC. they were quick in response to the incidentD. they didn’t intend to throw away the letters.28. Most celebrities___________A. are too busy to read fan mailB. are afraid of receiving fan mailC. try their best to read fan mail themselves.D. care about the fate of fan mail29. According to Zubernis, fans want their letters to be read because they_____A. hope to show their hand drawingB. want the celebrities to see their talentC. desire to get connection with the starsD. dream of getting a photo of the stars30. Which of the following will fans cherish the most?A. The feeling of being related to their stars.B. The sense of being similar to their stars.C. The time spent with their stars.D. The autograph of their stars.Passage ThreeFacelift(紧肤术) followed by a week on a beach in Thailand? Hip surgery with a side of shopping in Singapore? Over the last 10 year s, Asia’s rise on the medical tourism scene has been quick. Eastern nations dominate the global scene. Now Bali wants a slice of the action.The Indonesian island recently opened its first facility specifically targeting medical tourists with package and service, Bali International Medical Centre (BIMC) Nusa Dua. BIMC already has an international hospital in Kuta, which opened in 1998.The new internationally managed facility offers surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures and dental care.Unlike most of the region’s hospitals, BIMC is designed to feel more like a spa or resort(度假村) than a medical facility.The 50-bed hospital has a 24-hour medical emergency entrance and hotel-like lobby at the front of the building servicing the hospi tal’s medicals, and dental centers.If you’re a celebrity who doesn’t want everyone to know you’re here for a bit of lipo (吸脂术)，no worries. There’s private entrance that leads to the CosMedic Centre, which offers views of a golf course.BIMC has even teamed up with the nearby Courtyard by Marriott Bali, which provides specific after-care service like tailor-made meals and wellness programs for patient.Latest technology and cool interiors are a star, but breaking into a regional industry that already has some of the world’s top international hospital will be tough, says Joesf Woodman, CEO of U.S-based medical travel consumer guide Patients Beyond Borders(PBB).“As a newcomer, Bali faces stiff competition from nearby international health care providers. To compete, Bali will need to demonstrate a quality level of care and promote its services to the region and the world. On the positive side, Bali is blessed as one of the region’s safest, most popular tourist destinations, with a built –in potential to attract medical travelers.”The Indonesian island couldn’t have picked a better time to get into the game, says PBB. “The world population is aging and becoming wealthier at rate s that surpass the availability of quality healthcare reso urce,” says the company’s research.31. What does “medical tourism” (Para. 1) probably mean?A. Treating a disease during a tripB. Attracting patients with package toursC. Cosmetic treatment and a tour in oneD. Turning hospital into tourist attractions32. How does BIMC differ from regular hospitals?A. It offers cosmetic surgeryB. It has better environment and services.C. It accepts international patients.D. It has more beds and longer service hours.33. BIMC wishes to attract celebrities with its______A. privacy measuresB. first-class designC. free golf courseD. tailor-made meals34. According to Woodman, BIMC____A. threatens its regional competitorsB. will soon take the lead in the industryC. needs further improvementD. faces both challenges and opportunities35. What can be concluded from the last paragraph?A. The population is developing faster than medical resources.B. Healthcare is hardly available for the aging populationC. The world is in need of more quality medical care.D. The world population is becoming older and richer.Passage FourFor many of us, asking for help is a difficult concept. We may feel as if we are admitting a weakness that world would not have known about, had we not asked for help.Ironically, it’s be en my experience that people who are able to deliver well-positioned requests for help are seen as very strong individuals. When they demonstrate the humility(谦卑) to ask for help, they earn the respect of others. People who receive a heartfelt request for help are usually honored by the request. In turn, we are strengthened by the very help that is provided.One of my clients (we’ll call her Kira) recently made shift in how she was interacting with her boss. When asked to prepare presentations, she assumed that she was expected to go away, develop the content, deliver it at the required meeting and then wait for feedback from her boss. Her boss was highly regarded for the impact of his presentations, while Kira often that her presentations were lacking. When she took a hard look at how this approach was working for her, Kira recognized that she had not yet made use of her boss’s support. She could learn far m ore about creating attractive presentations by walking through a draft with her boss-focusing on the content plus her delivery- and obtaining feedback earlier in the process rather than at the back end. So she made the request for his support.The outcome? Her boss was delighted to coach Kira and was enthusiastic about the opportunity to put into use his own strength by teaching presentation skills more effectively to her. By taking the time to work together on presentation for a number of Kira’s key pr esentations, she benefited from her boss’s thought process and was able to distinguish the critical components to enhance her own presentations. Kir’s presentations now have punch!Some of us are uncomfortable asking for help because we believe that our request places burdens on the other person. Ironically, we may be missing an opportunity to show others how are value and respect them. People who know you and think well of you are often highly motivated to help. Furthermore, the more specific you can be about what you need from them, the easier it isfor them to assist you.36. Many people are unwilling to ask for help because they____A. are confident of themselvesB. do not trust other peopleC. are ashamed of doing soD. do not think it necessary37. Which of the following may the author agree with?A. Asking for help means admitting weaknesses.B. Helping others is helping oneself.C. Well-positioned requests for help are welcomedD.

The blog and comments are followed by questions or unfinished statements，each with four suggested answers A，B，C and D. Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the answer sheet.A fascinating new study reveals that Americans are more likely to call their children “intelligent,” while European parents focus on happiness and balance.Here’s what one parent had to say about the intelligence o f her 3-year-old, which was apparent to her from the very first moments of her life:“I have this vivid memory, when she was born, of them taking her to clean her off… And she was looking all around… She was alert from the very first second… I took her out when she was sixweeks old to a shopping mall to have her picture taken- people would stop me and say, “What an alert baby.” One guy stopped me and said, “Lady, she was an intelligent baby. ”Not only are Americans far more likely to focus on the ir children’s intelligence and cognitive skills, they are also far less likely to describe them as “happen” or “easy” children to parent.“The U.S ‘s unhealthy interest in cognitive development in the early years overlooks so much else,” the researche rs told us.Comment 1:Probably indicates more about differences in cultural attitudes towards humility and boasting than about parenting styles. Here in the Netherlands if someone called their child “intelligent” I’d be rolling my eyes, both because it’s probably biased and overstated and because it’s just a rotten thing to draw attention to; as if it’s all about whose child it “better”. Life isn’t that much of a damn contest to us.Comment 2:Agreed! That would apply in Sweden too. Parenting is more focused on the child’s well-being than social competition (there may be pressure here too, but it is not socially acceptable to express those things).Comment 3:I agree and I live in the U.S Parent’s opinions of their children’s intellect are definitely biased and overstated. It is the most annoying thing to listen to. Being “advanced” at a young age has little if anything to do with their ability to learn as they get older and EVERY child is a genius if you give them a chance and an to listen to them. The happier the Kid is, the smarter they will be. Happy and healthy is key.41. The passage is mainly concerned with cultural differences in .A. bringing up one’s childrenB. describing one’s childrenC. social contestsD. choosing a place to live in42. The world “alert”(Para.3) is closest in meaning to “‘’.A. intelligentB. easy-goingC. quick at noticing thingsD. happy43.

Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer SheetPassage OneFive or six years ago, I attended a lecture on the science of attention. A philosopher who conducts research in the medical school was talking about attention blindness, the basic feature of the human brain that, when we concentrate intensely on one task, causes us to miss just about everything else. Because we can’t see what we can’t see, our lecturer was determined to catch us in the act. He had us watch a video of six people tossing basketballs back and forth, three in white shirts and three in black, and our task was to keep track only of the tosses among the people in white. The tape rolled, and everyone began counting.Everyone except me, I’m dyslexic (有阅读障碍的)，and the moment I saw that grainy tape with the confusing basketball tossers, I knew I wouldn’t be able to keep track of their movements, so I let my mind wander. My curiosity was aroused, though, when about 30 seconds into the tape, a gorilla (大猩猩)came in among the players. She (we later learned a female student was in the gorilla suit) stared at the camera, thumped her chest, and then strode away while they continued passing the balls.When the tape stopped, the philosopher asked how many people had counted at least a dozen basketball tosses. Hands went up all over. He then asked who had counted 13, 14, and congratulated those who’d scored the perfect 15, Then he asked, “And who saw the gorilla?”I raised my hand and was surprised to discover I was the only person at my table and one of only three or four in the large room to do so. He'd set us up，trapping us in our own attention blindness. Yes, there had been a trick, but he wasn’t the one who had played it on us. By concentrating so hard on counting, we had managed to miss the gorilla in the midst.21. This passage describes_______.A. a basketball matchB. an experimentC. a philosopherD. a gorilla22. “Attention blindness” refers to _______.A. th e fact that one can’t see what one can’t seeB. seeing one thing while missing all elseC. keeping track of just about everythingD. the condition of being blind to details23. “Catch us in the act” (Para. 1) is closest in meaning to “find us_______.”A. doing something improperB. sleeping during the lectureC. counting the basketball lossesD. failing to notice something within sight24. How many people in the room saw the gorilla in the video?A. 1.B. 3 or 4.C. 13 or 14.D. 15.25. Whom does “he” (last paragraph) refer to?A. The author.B. The gorilla.C. The lecturer.D. The student.Passage TwoThere are few sadder sights than a pile of fan letters, lovingly decorated with hand drawings，suffering in a bin. The sparkly envelopes were addressed to Taylor Swift, a pop star much beloved by teenage and pre-teen girls.“Dear Taylor,” read one discarded message, “I love you so much!! You’re the best!! And you're really beautiful and cute!! I’m really enjoying your songs,”This, along with hundreds of other similar letters sent from around the world, was discovered in a Nashville recycling disposal unit by a local woman. Swifts management was quick to reassure her admirer that they had been thrown out accidentally. The response may come as a disappointment to any devotee who imagines, as they compose their letters, that Swift makes time lo view each one personally.Dealing with piles of fan mail is, however, an administrative burden for most celebrities. While some celebrities do like to go through their mail personally, the majority simply do not have time. But the fate of their correspondence is something most committed fans will not wish, to dwell on, says Lynn Zubernis，an expert in the psychology of fandom at West Chester University.“There’s this little bit of every fan that thinks theirs will be the one that stands out—it's not an expectation, but a hope that theirs will be seen by the celebrity.”While the relationship between the fan and the celebrity may exist only in the mind of the former, it stems from a deeply-rooted human need for community and belonging, Zubernis believes. As a result, even receiving a mass-produced letter ofacknowledgement and a photo stamped with a reproduced signature can be a powerful experience.“People have a tremendous need to connect with the person they are idolizing (偶像化),” she says. “They can’t ring them up and say, ’C an we have coffee?’ It’s not about the autograph (签名) ,It’s about the moment of connection.”26. Which of the following statements is true?A. The letters in the bin were exaggerating.B. Some letters to Swift were thrown away unread.C. A woman discovered the letters and discarded them.D. Poorly decorated letters were left unread.27. Swift’s management claimed that_______.A. Swift had read each one of the lettersB. fans could trust them with their lettersC. they were quick in response to the incidentD. they didn’t intend to throw away the letters28. Most celebrities_______A. are too busy to read fan mailB. are afraid of receiving fan mailC. try their best to read fan mail themselvesD. care about the fate of fan mail29. According to Zubernis, fans want their letters to be read because they _______.A. hope to show their hand drawingsB. want the celebrities to see their talentC. desire to get connected with the starsD. dream of getting a photo of the stars30. Which of the following will fans cherish the most?A. The feeling of being related to their stars.B. The sense of being similar to their stars.C. The time spent with their stars.D. The autograph of their stars.Passage ThreeFacelift (紧肤术)followed by a week on a beach in Thailand? Hip surgery with a side of shopping in Singapore? Over the last 10 years, Asia’s rise on the medical tourism scene has been quick. Eastern nations dominate the global scene. Now Bali wants a slice of the action.The Indonesian island recently opened its first facility specifically targeting medical tourists with packages and services, Bali International Medical Centre (BIMC) Nusa Dua. BIMC already has an international hospital in Kuta, which opened in 1998.The new internationally managed facility offers surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures and dental care.Unlike most of the region’s hospitals, BIMC is designed to feel more like a spa or resort (度假村)than a medical facility.The 50-bed hospital has a 24-hour medical emergency entrance and hotel-like lobby at the front of the building servicing the hospital’s medical, and dental centers.If you’re a celebrity who doesn’t want everyone to know you’re here for a bit of lipo (吸脂术)，no worries. There's a private entrance that leads to the CosMedic Centro, which offers views of a golf course.BIMC has even teamed up with the nearby Courtyard by Marriott Bali, which provides specific after-care services like tailor-made meals and wellness programs for patients.Latest technology and cool interiors are a start, but breaking into a regional industry that already has some of the world’s top international hospitals will be tough, says Josef Woodman, CEO of U.S.-based medical travel consumer guide Patients Beyond Borders (PBB).“As a newcomer, Bali faces stiff competition from nearby international healthcare providers. To compete，Bali will need to demonstrate a quality level of care and promote its services to the region and the world. On the positive side, Bali is blessed as one of the region's safest，most popular tourist destinations, with a built-in potential to attract medical travelers.”The Indonesian island couldn’t have picked a better time to get into the game, says PBB. “The world population is aging and becoming wealthier at rates that surpass the availability of quality healthcare resources,” says the company's research.31. What does "medical tourism” (Para. 1) probably mean?A. Treating a disease during a trip.B. Attracting patients with package tours.C. Cosmetic treatment and a tour in one：D. Turning hospitals into tourist attractions.32. How does BIMC differ from regular hospitals?A. It offers cosmetic surgery.B. It has better environment and services.C. It accepts international patients.D. It has more beds and longer service hours.33. BIMC wishes to attract celebrities with its_______.A. privacy measuresB. first-class designC. free golf courseD. tailor-made meals34. According to Woodman, BIMC_______.A. threatens its regional competitorsB. will soon take the load in the industryC. needs further improvementD. faces both challenges and opportunities35. What can be concluded from the last paragraph?A. The population is developing faster than medical resources.B. Healthcare is hardly available for the aging population.C. The world is in need of more quality medical care.D. The world population is becoming older and richer.Passage FourFor many of us，asking for help is a difficult concept. We may feel as if we are admitting a weakness that the world would not have known about，had we not asked for help.Ironically, it’s been my experience that people who are able to deliverwell-positioned requests for help are seen as very strong individuals. When they demonstrate the humility (谦卑)to ask for help, they earn the respect of others. People who receive a heartfelt request for help are usually honored by the request. In turn, we are strengthened by the very help that is provided.One of my clients (we’11 call her Kira) recently made a shift in how she was interacting with her boss. When asked to prepare presentations, she assumed that she was expected to go away, develop the content, deliver it at the required meeting and then wait for feedback from her boss. Her boss was highly regarded for the impact of his presentations, while Kira often felt that her presentations were lacking. When she took a hard look at how this approach was working for her, Kira recognized that she had not yet made use of her boss’s support. She could learn far more about creating attractive presentations by walking through a draft with her boss-focusing on the content plus her delivery----and obtaining feedback earlier in the process rather than at the back end. So she made the request for his support.The outcome? Her boss was delighted to coach Kira and was enthusiastic about the opportunity to put into use his own strength by teaching presentation skills more effectively to her. By taking the time to work together on preparation for a number of Kira’s key presentations, she benefited from her boss's thought process and was able to distinguish the critical components to enhance her own presentations. Kira’s present ations now have punch!Some of us are uncomfortable asking for help because we believe that our request places burdens on the other person. Ironically, we may be missing an opportunity to show others how we value and respect them. People who know you and think well of you are often highly motivated to help. Furthermore, the morespecific you can be about what you need from them, the easier it is for them, to assist you.36. Many people are unwilling to ask for help because they _______.A. are confident of themselvesB. do not trust other peopleC. arc ashamed of doing soD. do not think it necessary37. Which of the following may the author agree with?A. Asking for help means admitting weaknesses.B. Helping others is helping oneselfC. Well-positioned: requests for help are welcomed.D. Weak people often need more help.38. Kira’s request for help_____.A. turned out rewardingB. was turned downC. led to her promotionD. benefited her boss in return39. “Kira’s presentations now have punch” means her presentations are_____.A. forcefulB. controversialC. well receivedD. highly motivating40. The purpose of the passage is to_____.A. illustrate how to ask for helpB. show the importance of mutual helpC. call for atte ntion to others’ requestsD. encourage people to ask for kelpSection BDirections: In this section, you are required to read one quoted blog and the comments on it.

statements,each with four suggested answer A,B,C and D .Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneFive or six years ago,I attended a lecture on the science of attention.A philosopher who conducts research in the medical school was talking about attention blindness,the basic feature of the human brain that,when we concentrate intensely on one task,causes us to miss just about everything else.Because we can’t see what we can’t see,our lecturer was determined to catch us in the act.He had us watch a video of six people tossing basketballs back and forth ,three in which shirts and three in black,and our lask was to keep track only of the tosses among the people in which.The tape rolled,and everyone began counting.Everyone except me.I’m dyslexic,and the moment I saw that grainy tape with the confusing bas ketball tossers,I knew I wouldn’t be able to keep track of their movements,so I let my mind wander.My curiosity was aroused,though,when about 30 seconds into the tape,a gorilla came in among the players.She(we later learned a female student was in the gorilla suit) stared at the camera,thumped her chest,and then strode away while they continued passing the balls.When the tape stopped,the philosopher asked how many people had counted at least a dozen basketball tosses.Hands went up all over.He then asked wh o had counted13,14,and congratulated those who’d scored the perfect15.Then he asked,“And who saw the gorilla?”I raised my hand and was surprised to discover I was the only person at my table and one of only three or four in the large room to do so .He’d set us up,Itapping us in our own attention blindness.Yes,there had been a trick ,but he wasn’t the one who had played it on us.By concentrating so hard on counting,we had managed to miss the gorilla in the midst.21.This passage describesA.a basketball matchB. An experimentC.a philosopherD.a gorilla22.“Attention blindness”refers toA.the fact that one can’t see what one can’t seeB.Seeing one thing while missing all elseC.Keeping track of just about everyingD.The condition of being blind to details23.“Catch us in the act”(Para.1)is closest in meaning to“find us ”A.doing something improperB.sleeping during the lectureC.counting the basketball tossesD.failing to notice something within sight24.How many people in the room saw the gorilla in the video?A.1B.3or 4C.13or 14D.1525.Whom does “he ”(last paragraph)refer to ?A.The authorB.The gorillaC.The lecturerD.The studentPassage TwoThere are few sadder sights than 8 pile of fan letters ,lovingly decorated with hand drawings,suffering in a bin,The sparkly envelopes were addressed to Taylor Swift,a pop star much beloved by teenage and pre-teen girls.“Dear Taylor,”read one discarded message ,”I love you so much !!You are the best!!And you are really beautiful and cute !! I’m really enjoying your songs.”This along with hundreds of other similor letters sent from around the world,was discovered in a Nashville recycling disposal unit by a local woman,Swift’s management was quick to reassure her admitery that they had been thouwn out accidentally . The response may come as a disappointment to any devotee who imagines,as they compose their letters ,that Swift makes time to view each one personally .Dealing with piles of lars mail is ,however,an administrative burden for most celebrities.While some celebrities do like to go through their mail personally ,the majority simply do not have time .But the fate of their correspondence is something most commitred fans will not wish and well on ,says Lynn Zubermis ,an expect in the psychology of London at West Chester University.“There’s this little bit of every fan that thinks their will be the one that stands but---it’s not an expectation ,but a hope that theirs will be seen by the celebrity.”While the relationship between the fan and the celebrity may exist only in the mind of the farmer,it’s stems from a sleeply-rooted human next for community and belonging,Zucrms believes.As a result ,even receiving,a mass-producexl letter of acknowledgement and a photo stumped with a reproduced signature can be a power experietice .“People have a tremendous need to connect with the person they are idolising ( 偶像化)”she says .“They can’t them up and say,”Can we have coffee?”It’s not about the autograph( 签名）.It’s about the moment of conn ection .”26.which of the following statements is true ?A.The letters in the bin were exaggeratingB.Some letters to Swift were thrown away unread.C.A woman discovered the letters and discarded them.D.Poorly decorated letters were left unread.27.Swift’s manger ment claimed that .A.Swift had read each one of lettersB.Fans could trust them with their lettersC.They were quick in response to the incidentD.They did not internal to thraw away the letters28.Most celebritiesA.are too busy to read fan mail.B.Are afraid of receiving fan mail.C.Try their best to read fan mail themselvesD.Cute about the lute of fan mail29.According to Zubernis , fans want their letters to be read because they .A.hope to show their hand drawingsB.want the celebrities to see their talentC.desire to get connected with the starsD.dream of getting a photo of the stars30.Which of the following will fans cherish the most?A.The feeling of being related to their starsB.The sense of being similar to their starsC.The time spent with their starsD.The autograph of their starsPassage ThreeFacelift( 紧肤术) followed by a week on a beach in Thailand? Hip surgery with a side of shopping in Singapore? Over the last 10 years, Asia’s rise on the medical tourism scene has been quick. Eastern nations dominate the global scene. Now Bali wants a slice of the action.The Indonesian island recently opened its first facility specifically targeting medical tourists with packages and services, Bali international Medical Centre (BIMC) Nusa Dua. BIMC already has an international hospital in Kuta , which opened in 1998.The new internationally managed facility offers surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures and dental care.Unlike most of the region’s hospitals, BIMC is designed to feel more like a spa or resort( 度假村) than a medical facility..The 50-bed hospital has a 24-hour medical emergency entrance and hotel-like lobby at the front of the building servicing the hospital’s medical , and dental centers.If you’re a celebrity who doesn’t want everyone to know you’re here for a bit of lipo(吸脂术)，no worries. There’s a p rivate entrance that leads to the CosMedic Centre ,which offers views of a golf course.BIMC has even teamed up with the nearby Courtyard by Marriott Bali, which provides specific after-care services like tailor-made meals and wellness programs for patients.Latest technology and cool interiors are a start, but breaking into a regional industry that already has some of the worlds top international hospitals will be tough, says Josef-Woodman, CEO of U.S.-based medical travel consumer guide Patients Beyond Borders(PBB).“As a newcomer,Bali faces stiff competition from nearby international healthcare providers.To compete,Bali will to demonstrate a quality level of care and promote its services to the region and the world .On the positive side,Bali is blessed as one of the region’s safest ,most popular tourist destinations,with a built -in potential to attract medical travelers.”The lndonesian island could’t have picked a better time to get into the game,says PBB.”The world population is aging and becoming weather at rates that surpass the availability of quality healthcare resources ,”says the company’s research.31.w hat does “medical tourism:(para 1)probably mean?A.Trcating a disease during a tripB.Attracting patients with package tours.C.Cosmetic treatment and a tour in one.D.Turning hospitals into tourist attractions.32.H ow does BLMC differ from regular hospitals?A.I t offers cosmctic surgery.B.I t has better environment and services.C.I t accepts international patients.D.I t has more beds and longer service hours.33.B IMC wishes to attract celebrities with its .A.privacy measuresB.first -class designC.free golf courseD.tailor-made meals34.According to Woodman ,BIMC .A.threatens its regional competitor.B.will soon take the led in the industry.C.needs further improvement.D.faces both challenges and opportunities.35.What can be concluded from the last paragraph?A.The population is developing faster than medical resources.B.Healthcare is hardly available for the aging population .C.The world is in need of more quality medical care.D.The world population is becoming older and richer.Passage FourFor many of us, asking for help is it difficult concept. We may feel as if we are admitting a weakness that the world would not have known about, had we not asked for help.Ironically, it’s been my experience that people who are able to deliver well-positioned requests for help are seen as very strong individuals. When they demonstrate the humility ( 谦卑)to ask for help, they carn the respect of others. People who receive a heartfelt request for help are usually honored by the request. In turn we are strengthened by the very help that is provided.One of my clients (we’ll call her Kira) recently made a shift in how she wa s interacting with her boss. When asked to prepare presentations, she assumed that she was expected to go away, develop the content , deliver it at the required meeting and then wait for feedback from her boss. Her boss was highly regarded for the impact of his presentations, while Kira often felt that her presentations were lacking. When she took a hard look at how this approach was working for her. Kira recognized that she had not yet made use of her boss’s support. She could learn far more about creating attractive presentations by walking through a draft with her boss—focusing on the content plus her delivery—and obtaining feedback earlier in the process rather than at the back end .So she made the request for his support.The outcome? Her boss was delighted to coach Kira and was enthusiastic about the opportunity to put into use his own strength by teaching presentation skills more effectively to her. By taking the time to work together on preparation for a number of Kira’s key presentations, she benefited from her boss’s thought process and was able to distinguish the critical compoments to enhance her own presentations. Kira’s presentations now have punch!Some of us are uncomfortable asking for help because we believe that our request places burdens on the other person. Ironically, we may be missing an opportunity to show others how we value and respect them. People who know you and think well of you are often highly motivated to help. Furthermore, the more specific you can be about what you need from them, the easier it is for them to assist you.36.Many people are unwilling to ask for help because theyA. are confident of themselvesB. do not trust other peopleC. are ashamed of doing soD. do not think it necessary37.Which of the following may the author agree with?A .Asking for help means admitting weaknesses.B.Helping others is helping oneself.C.Well-positioned requests for help are welcomed.D.Weak people often need more help.38 .Kira’s request for helpA. turned out rewardingB. was turned downC. led to her promotion C. benefited her boss in return39.“Kirs’s presentations now have punch”means her presentations areA. ForcefulB. ControversialC. well receivedD. highly motivating40.The purpose of the passage is toA. illustrate how to ask for helpB. show the importance of mutual helpC. call for attention to others’ requestsD. encourage people to ask for helpSection BDirections: In this section, you are required to read one quoted blog and the comments on it. The blog and comments are followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers A,B,C and D. Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.A fascinating n ew study reveals that Americans are more likely to call their children “intelligent”. while European parents focus on happiness and balance.Here’s what one parent had to say about the intelligence of her 3-year –old, which was apparent to her from the very first moments of her life.“I have this vivid memory, when she was born of them taking her to clean her off. And she was looking all around. She was alert from the very first second. I look her out when she was six weeks old to a shopping mall to have her picture taken people would stop me and say:“What an alert baby.”One guy stopped me and said,“Lady, she was on intelligent baby.”Not only are Americans far more likely to focus on their children’s intelligence and cognative skills, they are also far l ess likely to describe them as “happy” or “easy” children to parent.“The U.S. unhealthy interest in cognitive development in the early years overlooks so much else” the researchers told us.Comment1:Probably indicates more about difference in cultural attitudes towards humility and boasting than about parenting styles. Here in the Netherlands if someone called their child “intelligent” I’d be rolling my eyes, both because it’s probably biased and overstated and because it’s just a rotten thing to draw attention to, as if it’s all about whose child is “better”. Life isn’t than much of a damn contest to us.Comment2:Agreed! That would apply in Sweden too. Parenting is more focused on the child’s well-being than social competition (there may be pressures here too, but it is not socially acceptable to express those things).Comment3:I agree and I live in the U.S. Parents’ opinions of their children’s intellect are definitely biased and overstated. It is the most annoying thing to listen to. Beijing “advanced” at a young age has little if anything to dowith their ability to learn as they get older and EVERY child is a genius if you give them a chance and an ear to listen to them. The happier the kid is, the smarter they will be. Happy and healthy is key.41.The passage is mainly concerned with cultural differences inA. bringing up one’s childrenB. describing one’s childrenC. social contestD. choosing a place to live in42.The word “alert” (para.3) is closest in meaning to“”A. intelligentB. easy-goingC. quick at noticing thingsD. happy43.According to Comment1,in ten Netherlands, calling one’s own child “intelligent” isA. boastingB. acceptableC. encouragingD. reasonable44.What nationality is the writer of Comment2?A. DutchB. AmericanC. SwedishD. French45.All of the following are true of Comment 3 EXCEPT thatA.it agrees with all the other commentsB.being happy and healthy is importantC.being intelligent at a young makes no senseD.children’s intellect varies from person to personPart IV Cloze (10 minutes, 10 points)Directions: In this part, t here is a passage with ten blanks .

statements,each with four suggested answer A,B,C and D.Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneFive or six years ago,I attended a lecture on the science of attention.A philosopher who conducts research in the medical school was talking about attention blindness,the basic feature of the human brain that,when we concentrate intensely on one task,causes us to miss just about everything else.Because we can’t see what we can’t see,our lecturer was determined to catch us in the act.He had us watch a video of six people tossing basketballs back and forth,three in which shirts and three in black,and our lask was to keep track only of the tosses among the people in which.The tape rolled,and everyone began counting.Everyone except me.I’m dyslexic,and the moment I saw that grainy tape with the confusing basketball tossers,I knew I wouldn’t be able to keep track of their movements,so I let my mind wander.My curiosity was aroused,though,when about30seconds into the tape,a gorilla came in among the players.She(we later learned a female student was in the gorilla suit)stared at the camera,thumped her chest,and then strode away while they continued passing the balls.When the tape stopped,the philosopher asked how many people had counted at least a dozen basketball tosses.Hands went up all over.He then asked who had counted13,14,and congratulated those who’d scored the perfect15.Then he asked,“And who saw the gorilla?”I raised my hand and was surprised to discover I was the only person at my table and one of only three or four in the large room to do so.IIe’d set us up,Itapping us in our own attention blindness.Yes,there had been a trick,but he wasn’t the one who had played it on us.By concentrating so hard on counting,we had managed to miss the gorilla in the midst.21.This passage describes_______A.a basketball matchB.An experimentC.a philosopherD.a gorilla22.“Allention blindness”refers to______A.the fact that one can’t see what one can’t seeB.Seeing one thing while missing all elseC.Keeping track of just about everyingD.The condition of being blind to details23.“Catch us in the act”(Para.1)is closest in meaning to“find us_______”A.doing something improperB.sleeping during the lectureC.counting the basketball tossesD.failing to notice something within sight24.How many people in the room saw the gorilla in the video?A.1B.3or4C.13or14D.1525.Whom does“he”(last paragraph)refer to?A.The authorB.The gorillaC.The lecturerD.The studentPassage TwoThere are few sadder sights than8pile of fan letters,lovingly decorated with hand drawings,suffering in a bin,The sparkly envelopes were addressed to Taylor Swift,a pop star much beloved by teenage and pre-teen girls.“Dear Taylor,”read one discarded message,”I love you so much!!You are the best!!And you are really beautiful and cute!!I’m really enjoying your songs.”This along with hundreds of other similor letters sent from around the world,was discovered in a Nashville recycling disposal unit by a local woman,Swift’s management was quick to reassure her admitery that they had been thouwn out accidentally.The response may come as a disappointment to any devotee who imagines,as they compose their letters,that Swift makes time to view each one personally.Dealing with piles of lars mail is,however,an administrative burden for most celebrities.While some celebrities do like to go through their mail personally,the majority simply do not have time.But the fate of their correspondence is something most commitred fans will not wish and well on,says Lynn Zubermis,an expect in the psychology of London at West Chester University.“There’s this little bit of every fan that thinks their will be the one that stands but---it’s not an expectation,but a hope that theirs will be seen by the celebrity.”While the relationship between the fan and the celebrity may exist only in the mind of the farmer,it’s stems from a sleeply-rooted human next for community and belonging,Zucrms believes.As a result,even receiving,amass-producexl letter of acknowledgement and a photo stumped with a reproduced signature can be a power experietice.“People have a tremendous need to connect with the person they are idolising(偶像化)”she says.“They can’t them up and say,”Can we have coffee?”It’s not about the autograph(签名）.It’s about the moment of connection.”26.which of the following statements is true?A.The letters in the bin were exaggeratingB.Some letters to Swift were thrown away unread.C.A woman discovered the letters and discarded them.D.Poorly decorated letters were left unread.27.Swift’s manger ment claimed that______.A.Swift had read each one of lettersB.Fans could trust them with their lettersC.They were quick in response to the incidentD.They did not internal to thraw away the letters28.Most celebrities_________A.are too busy to read fan mail.B.Are afraid of receiving fan mail.C.Try their best to read fan mail themselvesD.Cute about the lute of fan mail29.According to Zubernis,fans want their letters to be read because they.A.hope to show their hand drawingsB.want the celebrities to see their talentC.desire to get connected with the starsD.dream of getting a photo of the stars30.Which of the following will fans cherish the most?A.The feeling of being related to their starsB.The sense of being similar to their starsC.The time spent with their starsD.The autograph of their starsPassage ThreeFacelift(紧肤术)followed by a week on a beach in Thailand?Hip surgery with a side of shopping in Singapore?Over the last10years,Asia’s rise on the medical tourism scene has been quick.Eastern nations dominate the global scene.Now Bali wants a slice of the action.The Indonesian island recently opened its first facility specifically targeting medical tourists with packages and services,Bali international Medical Centre(BIMC)Nusa Dua.BIMC already has an international hospital in Kuta,which opened in1998.The new internationally managed facility offers surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures and dental care.Unlike most of the region’s hospitals,BIMC is designed to feel more like a spa or resort(度假村)than a medical facility..The50-bed hospital has a24-hour medical emergency entrance and hotel-like lobby at the front of the building servicing the hospital’s medical,and dental centers.If you’re a celebrity who doesn’t want everyone to know you’re here for a bit of lipo(吸脂术)，no worries. There’s a private entrance that leads to the CosMedic Centre,which offers views of a golf course.BIMC has even teamed up with the nearby Courtyard by Marriott Bali,which provides specific after-care services like tailor-made meals and wellness programs for patients.Latest technology and cool interiors are a start,but breaking into a regional industry that already has some of the worlds top international hospitals will be tough,says Josef-Woodman,CEO of U.S.-based medical travel consumer guide Patients Beyond Borders(PBB).“As a newcomer,Bali faces stiff competition from nearby international healthcare providers.To compete,Bali will to demonstrate a quality level of care and promote its services to the region and the world.On the positive side,Bali is blessed as one of the region’s safest,most popular tourist destinations,with a built-in potential to attract medical travelers.”The lndonesian island could’t have picked a better time to get into the game,says PBB.”The world population is aging and becoming weather at rates that surpass the availability of quality healthcare resources,”says the company’s research.31.what does“medical tourism:(para1)probably mean?A.Trcating a disease during a tripB.Attracting patients with package tours.C.Cosmetic treatment and a tour in one.D.Turning hospitals into tourist attractions.32.How does BLMC differ from regular hospitals?A.It offers cosmctic surgery.B.It has better environment and services.C.It accepts international patients.D.It has more beds and longer service hours.33.BIMC wishes to attract celebrities with its__________.A.privacy measuresB.first-class designC.free golf courseD.tailor-made meals34.According to Woodman,BIMC___________.A.threatens its regional competilors.B.will soon take the led in the industry.C.needs further improvement.D.faces both challenges and opportunuties.35.What can be concluded from the last paragraph?A.The population is developing faster than medical resources.B.Healthcare is hardly available for the aging population.C.The world is in need of more quality medical care.D.The world population is becoming older and richer.Passage FourFor many of us,asking for help is it difficult concept.We may feel as if we are admitting a weakness that the world would not have known about,had we not asked for help.Ironically,it’s been my experience that people who are able to deliver well-positioned requests for help are seen as very strong individuals.When they demonstrate the humility(谦卑)to ask for help,they carn the respect of others.People who receive a heartfelt request for help are usually honored by the request.In turn we are strengthened by the very help that is provided.One of my clients(we’ll call her Kira)recently made a shift in how she was interacting with her boss. When asked to prepare presentations,she assumed that she was expected to go away,develop the content, deliver it at the required meeting and then wait for feedback from her boss.Her boss was highly regarded for the impact of his presentations,while Kira often felt that her presentations were lacking.When she took a hard look at how this approach was working for her.Kira recognized that she had not yet made use of her boss’s support. She could learn far more about creating attractive presentations by walking through a draft with her boss—focusing on the content plus her delivery—and obtaining feedback earlier in the process rather than at the back end.So she made the request for his support.The outcome?Her boss was delighted to coach Kira and was enthusiastic about the opportunity to put into use his own strength by teaching presentation skills more effectively to her.By taking the time to work together on preparation for a number of Kira’s key presentations,she benefited from her boss’s thought process and was able to distinguish the critical compoments to enhance her own presentations.Kira’s presentations now have punch!_________Some of us are uncomfortable asking for help because we believe that our request places burdens on the other person.Ironically,we may be missing an opportunity to show others how we value and respect them. People who know you and think well of you are often highly motivated to help.Furthermore,the more specific you can be about what you need from them,the easier it is for them to assist you.36.Many people are unwilling to ask for help because theyA.are confident of themselvesB.do not trust other peopleC.are ashamed of doing soD.do not think it necessary37.Which of the following may the author agree with?A.Asking for help means admitting weaknesses.B.Helping others is helping oneself.C.Well-positioned requests for help are welcomed.D.Weak people often need more help.38.Kira’s request for help________A.turned out rewardingB.was turned downC.led to her promotion C.benefited her boss in return39.“Kirs’s presentations now have punch”means her presentations are________A.ForcefulB.contriversialC.well receivedD.highly motivating40.The purpose of the passage is to________A.illustrate how to ask for helpB.show the importance of mutual helpC.call for attention to others’requestsD.encourage people to ask for helpSection BDirections:In this section,you are required to read one quoted blog and the comments on it.The blog and comments are followed by questions or unfinished statements,each with four suggested answers A,B,C and D. Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.A fascinating new study reveals that Americans are more likely to call their children“intelligent”.while European parents focus on happiness and balance.Here’s what one parent had to say about the intelligence of her3-year–old,which was apparent to her from the very first moments of her life.“I have this vivid memory,when she was born of them taking her to clean her off.And she was looking all around.She was alert from the very first second.I look her out when she was six weeks old to a shopping mall to have her picture taken people would stop me and say:“What an alert baby.”One guy stopped me and said,“Lady,she was on intelligent baby.”Not only are Americans far more likely to focus on their children’s intelligence and cognative skills,they are also far less likely to describe them as“happy”or“easy”children to parent.“The U.S.unhealthy interest in cognitive development in the early years overlooks so much else”the researchers told us.Comment1:Probably indicates more about difference in cultural attitudes towards humility and boasting than about parenting styles.Here in the Netherlands if someone called their child“intelligent”I’d be rolling my eyes,both because it’s probably biased and overstated and because it’s just a rotten thing to draw attention to,as if it’s all about whose child is“better”.Life isn’t than much of a damn contest to us.Comment2:Agreed!That would apply in Sweden too.Parenting is more focused on the child’s well-being than social competition(there may be pressures here too,but it is not socially acceptable to express those things). Comment3:I agree and I live in the U.S.Parents’opinions of their children’s intellect are definitely biased and overstated.It is the most annoying thing to listen to.Beijing“advanced”at a young age has little if anything to do with their ability to learn as they get older and EVERY child is a genius if you give them a chance and an ear to listen to them.The happier the kid is,the smarter they will be.Happy and healthy is key.41.The passage is mainly concerned with cultural differences inA.bringing up one’s childrenB.describing one’s childrenC.social contestD.choosing a place to live in42.The word“alert”(para.3)is closest in meaning to“_________”A.intelligentB.easy-goingC.quick at noticing thingsD.happy43.According to Comment1,in ten Netherlands,calling one’s own child“intelligent”isA.boastingB.acceptableC.encouragingD.reasonable44.What nationality is the writer of Comment2?A.DutchB.AmericanC.SwedishD.French45.All of the following are true of Comment3EXCEPT thatA.it agrees with all the other commentsB.being happy and healthy is importantC.being intelligent at a young makes no senseD.children’s intellect varies from person to personPart IV Cloze(10minutes,10points)Directions:In this part,t here is a passage with ten blanks.For each blank there are four choices marked A,B, C and D.Choose the best for each blank and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Riding a bike is good exercise and great fun.But what do you do with a bike after you outgrow it?Nicole Basil,12,has a terrific answer to this question.When she was8years old,she46Pedal Power.It is a charity that collects bikes that kids have outgrown and donates them to Chicago public schools.Since2008,Nicols has collected and donated more than1000bikes.47the bicycles,Pedal Power supplied riders with400helmets（头盔）last year.“It is important to ride48on a bike,and helmets are a big part of that,”Nicols says.The Wilmette Bicycle&Sport Shop helps to49that all donated bikes are safe to ride.Each bike receives a five-minute50by the shop’s employees.The bikes are given to students who have good grades and perfect attendance.Nicole says:”Some kids aren’t as lucky as others,51they still do well in school.I think they should be52for that.”Nicole has received e-mails and phone calls from parents and teachers that say test53are improving.“Bikes can take you far,”she says.“Good grades can take you even54”Barton Dassinger is the principal of Cesar E.Chavez school in Chicago.Students in his school have received bikes.“It’s been a great way to55students to do their best,”Dassinger says.“They work hard to make it happen.”46.

Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneFive or six year ago, I attended a lecture on the science of attention. A philosopher who conducts research in the medical school was talking about attention blindness, the basic feature of the human brain that, when we concentrate intensely on one task, causes us to miss just about everything else. Because we can’t see what we can’t see, our lecture was determined to catch us in th e act. He had us watch a video of six people tossing basketball back and forth, three in white shirts and three in black, and our task was to keep track only of the tosses among the people in white. The tape rolled, and everyone began counting.Everyone except me, I’m dyslexic(有阅读障碍的), and the moment I saw that grainy tape with the confusing basketball tosses, I knew I wouldn’t be able to keep track of their movements, so I let my mind wander. My curiosity was aroused, though, when about 30 seconds into the tape, a gorilla(大猩猩) came in among the players. She (we later learned a female student was in the gorilla suit) start at the camera, thumped her chest, and the strode away while they continued passing the balls.When the tape stopped, the philosopher asked how many people had counted at least d a dozen basketball tosses. Hands went up all over. He then asked who had counted 13, 14, and congratulated those who’d scored the perfect 15. The he asked, “And who saw the gorilla?”I raised my hand and was surprised to discover I was the only person at my table and one of only three or four in the large room to do so. He’d set me up, trapping us in our own attention blindness. Yes, there had been a trick, but he wasn’t the one who had played it on us. By c oncentrating so hard on counting, we had managed to miss the gorilla in the midst.21. This passage describes_______A. basketballB. an experimentC. a philosopherD. a gorilla22. ‘’Attentions blindness” refer to_______.A. the fact that one can’t see what one can’t seeB. seeing one thing while missing all else.C. keeping track of just about everythingD. the condition of being blind to details23. “Catch us in the act” (Para. 1) is closest in meaning of “find us ________”A. doing something improperB. sleeping during the lectureC. counting the basketball tossesD. failing to notice something within sight24. How many people in the room saw the gorilla in the video?A. 1B. 3 or 4C.13 or 14D.1525. Whom dose “he”(last paragraph) refer to ?A. The authorB. The gorillaC. The lectureD. The studentPassage TwoThere are few sadder sights than a pile of fan letter, lovingly decorated with hand drawings, suffering in a bin. The sparkly envelopes were addressed to Taylor Swift, a pop star much beloved by teenage and pre-teen girls. “Dear Taylor”, read one discard message, “I love you so much!! You’re the best! And you’re really beautiful and cute!! I’m really enjoying your songsThis, along with hundreds of other similar letters sent from around the world, was discovered in Nashville recycling disposal unit by a local woman. Swift’s management was quick to reassure her admirers that they had been thrown out accidentally. The response may come as a disappointment to any devotee who imagine, as they compose their letter, that Swift make time to view each one personallyDealing with pile of fan mail is, however, an administrative burden for most celebrities. While some celebrities do like to go through their mail personally, the majority simply do not have time. But the fact f their correspondence is something most committed fans will not wish to dwell on, say Lynn Zubernis, an expert in the psychology of fandom at West Chester University.“There’s this little bit of every fan that thinks theirs will be the one that stands out- it’s not an expectation, but a hope that theirs will be seen by the celebrity.”While the relationship between the fan and the celebrity may exist only in the mind of the former, it sterns from a deeply-rooted human need for community and belonging, Zubernis believe. As a result, even receiving a mass-produced letter of acknowledgment and a photo stamped with a reproduced signature can be a powerful experience.“People have a tremendous need to connect with the person they are idolizing(偶像化),” she says, “They can’t ring up and say, ‘ Can we have coffee?’ It’s not about the autograph(签名). It’s about the moment of connection.”26. Which of the following statements is true?A. The letters in the bin were exaggerating.B. Some letters to Swift were thrown away unread.C. A woman discovered the letters and discard themD. Poorly decorated letters were left unread27. Swift management claimed that______A. Swift had read each one of lettersB. fans could trust them with their lettersC. they were quick in response to the incidentD. they didn’t intend to throw away the letters.28. Most celebrities___________A. are too busy to read fan mailB. are afraid of receiving fan mailC. try their best to read fan mail themselves.D. care about the fate of fan mail29. According to Zubernis, fans want their letters to be read because they_____A. hope to show their hand drawingB. want the celebrities to see their talentC. desire to get connection with the starsD. dream of getting a photo of the stars30. Which of the following will fans cherish the most?A. The feeling of being related to their stars.B. The sense of being similar to their stars.C. The time spent with their stars.D. The autograph of their stars.Passage ThreeFacelift(紧肤术) followed by a week on a beach in Thailand? Hip surgery with a side of shopping in Singapore? Over the last 10 years, Asia’s rise on the medical tourism scene has been quick. Eastern nations dominate the global scene. Now Bali wants a slice of the action.The Indonesian island recently opened its first facility specifically targeting medical tourists with package and service, Bali International Medical Centre (BIMC) Nusa Dua. BIMC already has an international hospital in Kuta, which opened in 1998.The new internationally managed facility offers surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures and dental care.Unlike most of the region’s hospitals, BIMC is designed to feel more like a spa or resort(度假村) than a medical facility.The 50-bed hospital has a 24-hour medical emergency entrance and hotel-like lobby at the front of the building servicing the hospital’s medicals, and dental centers.If you’re a celebrity who doesn’t want everyone to know you’re here for a bit of lipo (吸脂术)，no worries. There’s private entrance that leads to the CosMedic Centre, which offers views of a golf course.BIMC has even teamed up with the nearby Courtyard by Marriott Bali, which provides specificafter-care service like tailor-made meals and wellness programs for patient.Latest technology and cool interiors are a star, but breaking into a regional industry that already has some of the world’s top international hospital will be tough, says Joesf Woodman, CEO of U.S-based medical travel consumer guide Patients Beyond Borders(PBB).“As a newcomer, Bali faces stiff competition from nearby international healthcare providers. To compete, Bali will need to demonstrate a quality level of care and promote its services to the region and the world. On the positive side, Bali is blessed as one of the region’s safest, most popular tourist destinations, with a built –in potential to attract medical travelers.”The Indonesian island couldn’t have picked a better time to get into the game, says PBB.“The world population is aging and becoming wealthier at rate s that surpass the availability of quality healthcare resource,” says the company’s research.31. What does “medical tourism” (Para. 1) probably mean?A. Treating a disease during a tripB. Attracting patients with package toursC. Cosmetic treatment and a tour in oneD. Turning hospital into tourist attractions32. How does BIMC differ from regular hospitals?A. It offers cosmetic surgeryB. It has better environment and services.C. It accepts international patients.D. It has more beds and longer service hours.33. BIMC wishes to attract celebrities with its______A. privacy measuresB. first-class designC. free golf courseD. tailor-made meals34. According to Woodman, BIMC____A. threatens its regional competitorsB. will soon take the lead in the industryC. needs further improvementD. faces both challenges and opportunities35. What can be concluded from the last paragraph?A. The population is developing faster than medical resources.B. Healthcare is hardly available for the aging populationC. The world is in need of more quality medical care.D. The world population is becoming older and richer.Passage FourFor many of us, asking for help is a difficult concept. We may feel as if we are admitting a weakness that world would not have known about, had we not asked for help.Ironically, it’s been my experience that people who are able to deliver well-positioned requests for help are seen as very strong individuals. When they demonstrate the humility(谦卑) to ask for help, they earn the respect of others. People who receive a heartfelt request for help are usually honored by the request. In turn, we are strengthened by the very help that is provided.One of my clients (we’ll call h er Kira) recently made shift in how she was interacting with her boss. When asked to prepare presentations, she assumed that she was expected to go away, develop the content, deliver it at the required meeting and then wait for feedback from her boss. Her boss was highly regarded for the impact of his presentations, while Kira often that her presentations were lacking. When she took a hard look at how this approach was working for her, Kira recognized that she had not yet made use of her boss’s support. She could learn far more about creating attractive presentations by walking through a draft with her boss-focusing on the content plus her delivery- and obtaining feedback earlier in the process rather than at the back end. So she made the request for his support.The outcome? Her boss was delighted to coach Kira and was enthusiastic about the opportunity to put into use his own strength by teaching presentation skills more effectively to her. By taking the time to work together on presentation for a numbe r of Kira’s key presentations, she benefited from her boss’s thought process and was able to distinguish the critical components to enhance her own presentations. Kir’s presentations now have punch!Some of us are uncomfortable asking for help because we believe that our request places burdens on the other person. Ironically, we may be missing an opportunity to show others how are value and respect them. People who know you and think well of you are often highly motivated to help. Furthermore, the more specific you can be about what you need from them, the easier it is for them to assist you.36. Many people are unwilling to ask for help because they____A. are confident of themselvesB. do not trust other peopleC. are ashamed of doing soD. do not think it necessary37. Which of the following may the author agree with?A. Asking for help means admitting weaknesses.B. Helping others is helping oneself.C. Well-positioned requests for help are welcomedD. Weak people often need more help.38. Kira’s re quests for help_____A. turned out rewardingB. was turned downC. led to her promotionD. benefited her boss in return39. “Kira’s presentations now have punch” means her presentations are______A. forcefulB. controversialC. well receivedD. highly motivating40. The purpose of the passage is to _____A. illustrate how to ask for helpB. show the importance of mutual helpC. call for attention to other’s requestsD. encourage people to ask for helpSection BDirections：In this section，you are required to read one quoted blog and the comments on it. The blog and comments are followed by questions or unfinished statements，each with four suggested answers A，B，C and D. Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the answer sheet.A fascinating new s tudy reveals that Americans are more likely to call their children “intelligent,” while European parents focus on happiness and balance.Here’s what one parent had to say about the intelligence of her 3-year-old, which was apparent to her from the very first moments of her life:“I have this vivid memory, when she was born, of them taking her to clean her off… And she was looking all around… She was alert from the very first second… I took her out when she was six weeks old to a shopping mall to have her picture taken- people would stop me and say, “What an alert baby.” One guy stopped me and said, “Lady, she was an intelligent baby. ”Not only are Americans far more likely to focus on their children’s intelligence and cognitive skills, they are also far less likely to describe them as “happen” or “easy” children to parent.“The U.S ‘s unhealthy interest in cognitive development in the early years overlooks so much else,” the researchers told us.Comment 1:Probably indicates more about differences in cultural attitudes towards humility and boasting than about parenting styles. Here in the Netherlands if someone called their child “intelligent” I’d be rolling my eyes, both because it’s probably biased and overstated and because it’s ju st a rotten thing to draw attention to; as if it’s all about whose child it “better”. Life isn’t that much of a damn contest to us.Comment 2:Agreed! That would apply in Sweden too. Parenting is more focused on the child’s well-being than social competition (there may be pressure here too, but it is not socially acceptable to express those things).Comment 3:I agree and I live in the U.S Parent’s opinions of their children’s intellect are definitely biased and overstated. It is the most annoying th ing to listen to. Being “advanced” at a young age has little if anything to do with their ability to learn as they get older and EVERY child is a genius if you give them a chance and an to listen to them. The happier the Kid is, the smarter they will be. Happy and healthy is key.41. The passage is mainly concerned with cultural differences in .A. bringing up one’s childrenB. describing one’s childrenC. social contestsD. choosing a place to live in42. The world “alert”(Para.3) is closest in me aning to .A. intelligentB. easy-goingC. quick at noticing thingsD. happy43. According to Comment 1, in the Netherlands, calling one’s own child “intelligent” is .A. boastingB. acceptableC. encouragingD. reasonable44. What nationality is the writer of Comment 2?A. DutchB. AmericanC. SwedishD. French45.All of the following are true of Comment 3 EXCEPT that 。

Comprehension(45 minutes，25 points)Section ADirections：In this section，there are four passages followed by questions Or unfinished statements，each with four suggested answers A，B，C and D．Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet．Passage OneResearchers analysed the diet of 1 6, 000 people in 52 countries and identified three global eating patterns．The typical Western diet, high in fat, salt and meat, accounted for about 30％of heart attack risk in any population．A “prudent’’ diet high in fruit and vegetables lowered heart risk by a third．An Oriental diet，high in tofu, soy and other sauces, made no difference to heart attack risk．People who ate a Western diet had a 35％greater risk of having a heart attack than those who ate little or no fried．The typical Western diet has been widely linked to heart disease．High salt in the diet can raise blood pressure and the wrong type of fat can clog(阻塞)blood vessels．Ellen Mason, a cardiac nurse for the British Heart Foundation, said: “This study shows that it doesn’t matter whether you live in Bolton or Bombay, or whether you like to eat British, African Caribbean or Asian foods．The vital thing is to reduce your intake of salty, fried, fatty food to a minimum but increase the amount of fruit and vegetables you eat.’’(21) Which of the following was NOT one of the three global eating patterns?A．A Western diet．B．A “prudent" diet．C．An Oriental diet．D．A popular diet．(22) In what way does the typical Western diet do harm to our health?A．It makes people eat little or no foods and meat．B．It is high in salt without fried foods and meat．C．It can block blood vessels with the wrong type of fat．D．It leads to the connection between foods and heart attack．(23) What is the most important message the writer intends to get across in terms of keeping a healthy diet?A．Try to eat more British foods and vegetables．B．Eat less fruit and fewer vegetables．C．Try to eat more African Caribbean foods．D．Eat less salt and fat but more fruit and vegetables．Passage TwoBefore Moko the dolphin turned up，the beached whales were in clear distress．But when Moko ar rived at Mahia beach on the east coast of New Zealand’S North Island，their mood changed and they followed him to safety．The ability of some animals to communicate is well known. What’s less well documented，however，is the communication between species．Justin Gregg, vice president of the Dolphin Communication Project，said it is possible that a dolphin and a whale could communicate in some way．“But it wouldn’t be instructions like ‘Hey，buddy，the open ocean is over here．Follow me, ’"he says．Dolphins use three forms of signaling to other dolphins—whistles，clicking and postures．A whale might have signals in common with a dolphin，just as different species of dolphins are known to share signals which might theoretically allow a form of basic inter species communication．But just as it’s possible that Moko the dolphin and the stranded whales shared a signal，it is also possible that the whales just saw a vaguely similar creature and followed it．There are many reasons why different species communicate，says Vincent Janik，lecturer at the Sea Mammal Research Unit at St Andrew’s University．“The animals exploit the systems of others for their own benefits．Sometimes the benefits are the same for each，therefore they share information．Sometimes they are trying to take advantage of the other．Getting food may not be to the advantage of the one giving up the food．”(24) What happened after Moko the dolphin appeared at Mahia beach?A．The beached whales still felt distressful．B．Moko 1ed the whales back to the sea．C．The whales were still stuck on the beach．D．Moko and the whales swam together ashore．(25) Scientists engaged in animal studies have collected ．A．enough data on how animals speak human languagesB．none of the data on animals’ abil ity to communicateC．1ess data on how animals communicate between speciesD．some data on animals’ tendency to talk to humans(26) Dolphins communicate with one another, using all the following types of signaling EXCEPT ．A．gestures B．whistlesC．clicking D．postures(27) The whales stranded on the beach followed the dolphin to safety probably because ．A．they understood the dolphin’s instruction “Follow me’’B．they had signals in common with one anotherC．they recognized some other animals not far awayD．they shared those inter-species signals with the dolphin(28) Why do animals of different species communicate with one another?A．Because they like to set up their own communication systems．B．Because they want to take advantage of the other species．C．Because they tend to keep more food to themselves．D．Because they benefit from using the information from other species．Passage ThreeCompetition breeds excellence．Ask anyone who pays attention to the car industry and they will tell you that the family-sedan segment is just brutal，with manufacturers fighting tooth and nail over every sale．In fact，that market has become more competitive in recent years．It used to just be the Camry and the Accord fighting for supremacy，but now you have new(Hyundai)and old(Ford)competitors，among others，joining the fight with interesting，well-made，compelling products．It’s a great time to be shopping for a new family sedan．Compare that with the state of the tablet market today．Hewlett-Packard is in retreat．Research in Motion is in a holding pattern．Motorola has been sold and its tablet is now an afterthought．Samsung fights the good fight，but it trails Apple’s market share by 50 percentage points．Apple is not just ahead of the pack，it almost is the pack．Now，some would say that this is also a simple result of economic laws at work：Apple makes a superior product，therefore it gets most of the sales．But what would be really great is that，Apple，Google，Microsoft，and H．P．，locked in an epic battle for tablet supremacy，are each releasing new and better products at a furious pace，and each dropping prices substantially at a steady clip．Apple is driving innovation and creativity with each upgrade of the iPad it releases．But this isn’t about whether you prefer Apple or Android for your tablet．This isn’t about picking sides．As a consumer，I want there to be robust competition across the board．I want Coke and Pepsi，Target and Wal-Mart，Engadget and Gizmodo．If you’re a fan of Apple，you want there to be a worthy rival to push it，to keep its feet to the fire．If you don’t like Apple，you want someone else in the game so that Apple doesn’t suck all the air out of the room．And you want Apple to do the same pushing and foot scorching to its competitor that another company would do to it．(29) The phrase “fighting tooth and nail”(Para．1)means that car makers are ．A．competing fiercely with one anotherB．beating one another with their tooth and nailC．extremely careful about the family-sedan segmentD．paying more attention to their tooth and nail(30) Why is it a great time to be shopping for a new family sedan?A．Because competition is more interesting and compelling．B．Because Hyundai and Ford are joining the competition．C．Because customers have enough quality cars to choose from．D．Because the Camry and the Accord are competing for supremacy(31) What are the tablet makers strategically doing，facing the brutal competition?A．Developing new products and reducing prices．B．Analyzing the results of the economic laws．C．Adapting to the furious pace of development．D．Providing best possible services for their products．(32) The author brings in the pairs of Coke and Pepsi．Target and Wal-Mart，Engadget and Gizmodo’’(Para．4)to make ．A．a comparison B．a contrastC．an abstraction D．an exemplification(33) What does the phrase “to keep its feet to the fire” in the last paragraph mean?A．To place Apple’s feet clo se to the fire．B．To pressure Apple into intensifying its competition．C．To force Apple to dance hard on the fire．D．To advise Apple to strategically drop its side products．(34) Why does the author start with the car industry before he focuses on tablet market?A．Because he treats the car industry as the key point for his writing．B．Because the car industry is more important than tablet market．C．Because he uses the car analogy for a more effective argumentation．D．Because the model of the car is far more popular in the market．Passage FourSo what are books good for ? My best answer is that books produce knowledge by encasing it．Books take ideas and set them down，transforming them through the limitations of space into thinking usable by others．In 1959，C．P．Snow threw down the challenge of “two cultures．’’ the scientific and the humanistic，pursuing their separate，unconnected lives within developed societies．In the new-media ecology of the 21st century，we may not have closed that gap，but the two cultures of the contemporary world are the culture of data and the culture of narrative．Narrative is rarely collective．It isn’t infinitely expandable．Narrative has a shape and a temporality，and it ends，just as our lives do．Books tell stories．Scholarly books tell scholarly stories．Storytelling is central to the work of the narrative-driven disciplines—the humanities and the nonquantitative social sciences—and it is central to the communicative pleasures of reading．Even argument is a form of narrative．Different kinds of books are，of course，good for different things．Some should be created only for download and occasional access，as in the case of most reference projects，which these days are born digital or at least given dual passports．But scholarly writing requires narrative fortitude，on the part of writer and reader．There is onthing wiki about the last set of Cambridge University Press monographs(专著)I purchased，and in each I encounter an individual speaking subject．Each single-author book is immensely particular，a story told as only one storyteller could recount it．Scholarship is a collagist(拼贴画家)，building the next road map of what we know book by book．Stories end，and that，I think，is a very good thing．A single authorial voice is a kind of performance，with an audience of one at a time，and no performance should outstay its welcome．Because a book must end，it must have a shape，the arc of thought that demonstrates not only the writer’s command of her or his subject but also that writer’s respect for the reader．A book is its own set of bookends．Even if a book is published in digital form，freed from its materiality，that shaping case of the codex(古书的抄本)is the ghost in the knowledge-machine．We are the case for books．Our bodies hold the capacity to generate thousands of ideas，perhaps even a couple of full-length monographs，and maybe a trade book or two．If we can get them right，books are luminous versions of our ideas，bound by narrative structure so that others can encounter those better，smarter versions of us on the page or screen．Books make the case for us，for the identity of the individual as an embodiment of thinking in the world．The heart of what even scholars do is the endless task of making that world visible again and again by telling stories，complicated and subtlestories that reshape us daily so that new forms of know1edge can shine out．(35)According to the author，the narrative culture is ．A．connectable B．infinitely expandable C．collective D．nonquantitative(36) Storytelling can be regarded as the essence of all the following EXCEPT ．A．the humanities B．the reference booksC．the social sciences D．the pleasures of reading(37) What does the phrase “nothing wiki about’’(Para．2)mean according to the passage?A．Nothing casual about．B．Nothing stimulating about．C．Nothing referential about．D．Nothing controversial about．(38) Why is each single-author book immensely particular according to the passage?A．Because it enriches and restructures our knowledge in its own way．B．Because it puts together the particular stories we need．C．Because it tells single-handedly how we should perform．D．Because it helps to make the map for our travel in particular places．(39) We may think highly of a writer if his or her work helps ．A．to haunt us like a ghost in the knowledge-machineB．to publish books in a narrative structureC．to review a book on the page or screenD．to illuminate us in a new form of knowledge(40) Why does the writer think that even argument is a form of narrative?A．Because it can be accessed and downloaded anywhere anytime．B．Because it is born digital or it might have dual passports．C．Because it has the 1imitation of time both for the writer and the reader．D．Because it will remain a better and smarter version for us on the page．Section BDirections：In this section，you are required to read one quoted blog and the comments on it．The blog and comments are followed by questions or unfinished statements，each with four suggested answers A，B，C and D．Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the answer sheet.“Years ago，a friend of mine observed that 80 percent of the people in this country have too much self-esteem and 20 percent have much too little．That struck me as pretty accurate，but psychologists will tell you that self-esteem is not a constant．People’s appraisal of their own worth varies．．．．I have the impression that more people have unstable self-esteem than before．I say this because some of the traditional standards people used to measure their own worth have eroded(middle class respectability)，whereas more people now seem to measure themselves against celebrities and superstars．It would be interesting to know if anybody has studied changes in the criteria we use to measure self-worth．’’Comment1：You bring up an interesting point because I do believe values and beliefs have changed．It would be very interesting to see the criteria used for self-worth．I find it hard to believe that only20％of people have low self-esteem．I’ve been following Brene Brown’s thoughts on the subject of self-worth，and low self-worth (on some level) seems much more common．Comment 2：If the quality of one’s self-esteem is going to be judged by comparisons with those who are celebrities and superstars，then the entire exercise is really pointless．Comment 3：Self-esteem solution：A happy marriage．Comment 4：’Ego(self-worth)is proportionate to wealth．The more wealth，the more self-worth．Comment 5：Benjamin Franklin said it best，and it applies to all facets of life．“Contentment will make a poor man rich just as discontent will make a rich man poor.” It does not mean not try to do your best，or be the richest．It simply means once you’ve done your best be content with yourself，just as if you don’t give your best effort discontent is sure to follow．Comment 6：I’ve ‘‘retired’’ from 30 years of expensive，if interesting，‘‘personal growth’’ and “self-improvement．”much probably motivated by trying to “fix” myself．Hanging out with friends at a local cafe is way more satisfying．Comment 7：A related concept you may be interested in is the “ sociometer theory" of self-esteem，pioneered by Mark Leary(Wake Forest)．Basically it states that our self-esteem is determined by the amount of perceived social acceptance／rejection，and that determination is full ofcognitive biases and errors．Awesome stuff．(41) The main idea of the quoted blog is that ．A．most people in the country have too much self-esteemB．it is urgent to help those who have too little self-esteemC．the criteria for people to measure their self-worth are changingD．the traditional standards make people feel unstable(42)Among all the comments，which of the following choices brings in authoritative sources in their discussion?A．Comment 1 and Comment 2．B．Comment 3 and Comment 5．C．Comment 1 and Comment 7．D．Comment 4 and Comment 6．(43)What all the commentators try to respond to in their writing isA．the respect for the traditional valuesB．the standards of self-worth measurementC．marriage，celebrities and social activitiesD．ego，contentment and social judgment(44) Why does the writer of Comment 5 try to clarify Benjamin Franklin’s saying?A．Because Franklin’s saying is universally applicable．B．Because contentment means “rich” and discontent means “poor.’’C．Because if you do your best，you will be the richest．D．Because misunderstandings might occur of Franklin’s saying．(45) What is the writer’s attitude toward the “sociometer theory’’ in Comment 7?A．Affirmative．B．Objective．C．Detached．D．Negative．Part IV Cloze (10 minutes，10 points)Directions：In this part，there is a passage with ten blanks．For each blank there are four choices marked A，B，C and D．Choose the best answer for each blank and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet．Almost half of UK internet users are going online via mobile phone data connections，according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS)．45％of people surveyed said they(46) use of the net while out and about，compared with 31％in 2010．The most rapid growth was (47) younger people，where 71％of internet-connected

Choose the best answer and markyour answer on the Answer SheetPassage OneFive or six years ago, I attended a lecture on the science of attention. A philosopher who conducts research in the medical school was talking about attention blindness, the basic feature特征特色特点of the human brain that, when we concentrate intensely强烈地on one task, causes us to miss just about everything else. Because we can’t see what we can’t see, our lecturer was determined to catch us in the act. He had us watch a video of six people tossing basketballs back and forth来回扔篮球, three in white shirts and three in black, and our task was to keep track only of the tosses among the people in white. The tape rolled, and everyone began counting.Everyone except me, I’m dyslexic (有阅读障碍的），and the moment I saw that grainy tape 模糊的录像带with the confusing basketball tossers, I knew I wouldn’t be able to keep track of their movements, so I let my mind wander漫游. My curiosity was aroused, though, when about 30 seconds into the tape, a gorilla (大猩猩)came in among the players. She (we later learned a female student was in the gorilla suit) stared at the camera, thumped her chest, and then strode away大步流星地走while they continued passing the balls.When the tape stopped, the philosopher asked how many people had counted at least a dozen basketball tosses. Hands went up all over. He then asked who had counted 13, 14, and congratulated those who’d scored the perfect 15, Then he asked, “And who saw the gorilla?”I raised my hand and was surprised to discover I was the only person at my table and one of only three or four in the large room to do so. He'd set us up他已经给我们树立了榜样，trapping us in our own attention blindness. Yes, there had been a trick, but he wasn’t the one who had played it on us. By concentrating so hard on counting, we had managed to miss the gorilla in the midst.21. This passage describes_______.A. a basketball matchB. an experimentC. a philosopherD. a gorilla22. “Attention blindness” refers to _______.A. the fact that one can’t see what one can’t seeB. seeing one thing while missing all elseC. keeping track of just about everythingD. the condition of being blind to details23. “Catch us in the act” (Para. 1) is closest in meaning to “find us_______.”A. doing something improperB. sleeping during the lectureC. counting the basketball lossesD. failing to notice something within sight24. How many people in the room saw the gorilla in the video?A. 1.B. 3 or 4.C. 13 or 14.D. 15.25. Whom does “he” (las t paragraph) refer to?A. The author.B. The gorilla.C. The lecturer.D. The student.Passage TwoThere are few sadder sights than a pile of fan letters, lovingly decorated with hand drawings，suffering in a bin. The sparkly envelopes were addressed to Taylor Swift, a pop star much beloved by teenage and pre-teen girls.“Dear Taylor,” read one discarded message, “I love you so much!! You’re the best!! And you're really beautiful and cute!! I’m really enjoying your songs,”This, along with hundreds of other similar letters sent from around the world, was discovered in a Nashville recycling disposal unit by a local woman. Swifts management was quick to reassure her admirer that they had been thrown out accidentally. The response may come as a disappointment to any devotee who imagines, as they compose their letters, that Swift makes time lo view each one personally.Dealing with piles of fan mail is, however, an administrative burden for most celebrities. While some celebrities do like to go through their mail personally, the majority simply do not have time. But the fate of their correspondence is something most committed fans will not wish, to dwell on, says Lynn Zubernis，an expert in the psychology of fandom at West Chester University.“There’s this little bit of every fan that thinks theirs will be the one that stands out—it's not an expectation, but a hope that theirs will be seen by the celebrity.”While the relationship between the fan and the celebrity may exist only in the mind of the former, it stems from a deeply-rooted human need for community and belonging, Zubernis believes. As a result, even receiving a mass-produced letter of acknowledgement and a photo stamped with a reproduced signature can be a powerful experience.“People have a tremendous need to connect with the person they are idolizing (偶像化),” she says. “They can’t ring them up and say, ’Can we have coffee?’ It’s not about the autograph (签名) ,It’s about the moment of connection.”26. Which of the following statements is true?A. The letters in the bin were exaggerating.B. Some letters to Swift were thrown away unread.C. A woman discovered the letters and discarded them.D. Poorly decorated letters were left unread.27. Swift’s management claimed that_______.A. Swift had read each one of the lettersB. fans could trust them with their lettersC. they were quick in response to the incidentD. they didn’t intend to throw away the letters28. Most celebrities_______A. are too busy to read fan mailB. are afraid of receiving fan mailC. try their best to read fan mail themselvesD. care about the fate of fan mail29. According to Zubernis, fans want their letters to be read because they _______.A. hope to show their hand drawingsB. want the celebrities to see their talentC. desire to get connected with the starsD. dream of getting a photo of the stars30. Which of the following will fans cherish the most?A. The feeling of being related to their stars.B. The sense of being similar to their stars.C. The time spent with their stars.D. The autograph of their stars.Passage ThreeFacelift (紧肤术）followed by a week on a beach in Thailand? Hip surgery with a side of shopping in Singapore? Over the last 10 years, Asia’s rise on the medical tourism scene has been quick. Eastern nations dominate the global scene. Now Bali wants a slice of the action.The Indonesian island recently opened its first facility specifically targeting medical tourists with packages and services, Bali International Medical Centre (BIMC) Nusa Dua. BIMC already has an international hospital in Kuta, which opened in 1998.The new internationally managed facility offers surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures and dental care.Unlike most of the region’s hospitals, BIMC is designed to f eel more like a spa or resort (度假村）than a medical facility.The 50-bed hospital has a 24-hour medical emergency entrance and hotel-like lobby at the front of the building servicing the hospital’s medical, and dental centers.If you’re a celebrity who doesn’t want everyone to know you’re here for a bit of lipo (吸脂术），no worries. There's a private entrance that leads to the CosMedic Centro, which offers views of a golf course.BIMC has even teamed up with the nearby Courtyard by Marriott Bali, which provides specific after-care services like tailor-made meals and wellness programs for patients.Latest technology and cool interiors are a start, but breaking into a regional industry that already has some of the world’s top international hospitals will be tough, s ays Josef Woodman, CEO of U.S.-based medical travel consumer guide Patients Beyond Borders (PBB).“As a newcomer, Bali faces stiff competition from nearby international healthcare providers. To compete，Bali will need to demonstrate a quality level of care and promote its services to the region and the world. On the positive side, Bali is blessed as one of the region's safest，most popular tourist destinations, with a built-in potential to attract medical travelers.”The Indonesian island couldn’t have picke d a better time to get into the game, says PBB. “The world population is aging and becoming wealthier at rates that surpass the availability of quality healthcare resources,” says the company's research.31. What does "medical tourism” (Para. 1) probably m ean?A. Treating a disease during a trip.B. Attracting patients with package tours.C. Cosmetic treatment and a tour in one：D. Turning hospitals into tourist attractions.32. How does BIMC differ from regular hospitals?A. It offers cosmetic surgery.B. It has better environment and services.C. It accepts international patients.D. It has more beds and longer service hours.33. BIMC wishes to attract celebrities with its_______.A. privacy measuresB. first-class designC. free golf courseD. tailor-made meals34. According to Woodman, BIMC_______.A. threatens its regional competitorsB. will soon take the load in the industryC. needs further improvementD. faces both challenges and opportunities35. What can be concluded from the last paragraph?A. The population is developing faster than medical resources.B. Healthcare is hardly available for the aging population.C. The world is in need of more quality medical care.D. The world population is becoming older and richer.Passage FourFor many of us，asking for help is a difficult concept. We may feel as if we are admitting a weakness that the world would not have known about，had we not asked for help.Ironically, it’s been my experience that people who are able to deliver well-positioned requests for help are seen as very strong individuals. When they demonstrate the humility (谦卑）to ask for help, they earn the respect of others. People who receive a heartfelt request for help are usually honored by the request. In turn, we are strengthened by the very help that is provided.One of my clients (we’11 call her Kira) recently made a shift in how she was interacting with her boss. When asked to prepare presentations, she assumed that she was expected to go away, develop the content, deliver it at the required meeting and then wait for feedback from her boss. Her boss was highly regarded for the impact of his presentations, while Kira often felt that her presentations were lacking. When she took a hard look at how this approach was working for her, Kira recognized that she had not yet made use of her boss’s support. She could learn far more about creating attractive presentations by walking through a draft with her boss-focusing on the content plus her delivery----and obtaining feedback earlier in the process rather than at the back end. So she made the request for his support.The outcome? Her boss was delighted to coach Kira and was enthusiastic about the opportunity to put into use his own strength by teaching presentation skills more effectively to her. By taking the time to work together on preparation for a number of Kira’s key presentations, she benefited from her boss's thought process and was able to distinguish the critical components to enhance her own presentations. Kira’s presentations n ow have punch!Some of us are uncomfortable asking for help because we believe that our request places burdens on the other person. Ironically, we may be missing an opportunity to show others how we value and respect them. People who know you and think well of you are often highly motivated to help. Furthermore, the more specific you can be about what you need from them, the easier it is for them, to assist you.36. Many people are unwilling to ask for help because they _______.A. are confident of themselvesB. do not trust other peopleC. arc ashamed of doing soD. do not think it necessary37. Which of the following may the author agree with?A. Asking for help means admitting weaknesses.B. Helping others is helping oneselfC. Well-positioned: requests for help are welcomed.D. Weak people often need more help.38. Kira’s request for help_____.A. turned out rewardingB. was turned downC. led to her promotionD. benefited her boss in return39. “Kira’s presentations now have punch” means her presentations are_____.A. forcefulB. controversialC. well receivedD. highly motivating40. The purpose of the passage is to_____.A. illustrate how to ask for helpB. show the importance of mutual helpC. call for attention to others’ requestsD. encourage people to ask for kelpSection BDirections: In t his section, you are required to read one quoted blog and t he comments on it.The biog and com me n t s arc followed by questions or unfinished statements, each w ithf our suggested answer s A,B, C and D. Choose the best answer and mark youranswer on th e Answer Sheet.A fascinating new study reveals that Americans are more likely to call their children “in t elligent,” whil e European parents focus o n happiness a n d balance.Here’s what one p ar ent had to say about the in te llig e n ce of her 3-year-old, w hi ch was app arent t o her fro m the very first moments of her life:“I have t his vivi d memory, w hen s h e was bo rn, of the m t aking her t o cl e an her off... And she was looking all around... She was alert from the very fi rst second... I t ook her out when she w a s six weeks old t o a shopping mall to have her picture taken people would stop me and sa y,“What an alert baby.” One guy s t opped me and said, “Lady, she was an in telligent b a by.”Not only are Americans far mor e likely to focus on the ir children’s intelligence and cognitive skill s, they ar e also far less likely to describe them as “happy” or “easy” children to parent.T he U.S.’s unhe althy i n te rest in cognitive develop ment in t he early years overlooks so much else,” the researchers told us.Co m m ent 1:Probably indicates more abou t differences in cultural attitudes tow ards hu mi lity and boasting than about parenting styles. Here in the Netherlands if someone ca ll ed their child “intelligent” I’d be ro lling my eyes, bo th because it’s probably biased and overstated and because it’s jus t a rotten thing to draw attention to;as if it’s all about whose c hild is “Better”. Life isn’t tha t much of a damn contest to us.Co m men t 2：Agreed! That woul d apply in Sw ede n t oo. Par en ting is more focused on the child’s well-being than social comp eti tion (there may be pressure s h ere too, but it is not socially acceptable to express those things).Comment 3:I agree and I live in the U.S. Parent’s opinions of their children’s intellect ar e definitel y biased and overstated. It i s the mo st annoying thing to listen to. Being “advanced” at a young age has little if anything to do with their ability to learn as they get older a nd EVERY child is a genius if you give them a chance and an ear to l isten to them. The ha ppier the kid is, the smarter they will be. H ap py and healthy is key.41. The passage is mainly co n ce rne d with cultural differences in _____.A. bringin g up one’s childrenB. describing one’s ch ildrenC.so cial contestsD. choosing a place to live in42. T he word “alert” (Para. 3) is closest in meaning to“_____.”A. intel lige n tB. easy-goingC. quick at n oticing thingsD. happy43. According t o C o mmen t 1, in the Netherlands, calling on e’s own c hild“i n te lligent”i s_____.A. b oastin gB. acceptableC. encouragingD. reasonable44. What nationality is the writer o f Co m men t 2?A. Du tch.B. American.C. Swedish.D. French.45. All of the following are true of Comment 3 EXCEPT that _____.A. it agrees with all the other commentsB. being happy and healthy is importantC. being intelligent at a young age makes no senseD. children’s intellect varies from person to personPart IV Cloze (10 points)Directions: In this part, there is a passage with ten blan ks.

Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneFive or six year ago, I attended a lecture on the science of attention. A philosopher who conducts research in the medical school was talking about attention blindness, the basic feature of the human brain that, when we concentrate intensely on one task, causes us to miss just about everything else. Because we can’t see what we can’t see, our lecture was determined to catch us in the act. He had us watch a video of six people tossing basketball back and forth, three in white shirts and three in black, and our task was to keep track only of the tosses among the people in white. The tape rolled, and everyone began counting.Everyone except me, I’m dyslexic(有阅读障碍的), and the moment I saw that grainy tape with the confusing basketball tosses, I knew I wouldn’t be able to keep track of their movements, so I let my mind wander. My curiosity was aroused, though, when about 30 seconds into the tape, a gorilla(大猩猩) came in among the players. She (we later learned a female student was in the gorilla suit) start at the camera, thumped her chest, and the strode away while they continued passing the balls.When the tape stopped, the philosopher asked how many people had counted at least d a dozen basketball tosses. Hands went up all over. He then asked who had counted 13, 14, and congratulated those who’d scored the perfect 15. The he asked, “And who saw the gorilla?”I raised my hand and was surprised to discover I was the only person at my table and one of only three or four in the large room to do so. He’d set me up, trapping us in our own attention blindness. Yes, there had been a trick, but he wasn’t the one who had played it on us. By concentrating so hard on counting, we had managed to miss the gorilla in the midst.21. This passage describes_______A. basketballB. an experimentC. a philosopherD. a gorilla22. ‘’Attentions blindness” refer to_______.A. the fact that one can’t see what one can’t seeB. seeing one thing while missing all else.C. keeping track of just about everythingD. the condition of being blind to details23. “Catch us in the act” (Para. 1) is closest in meaning of “find us ________”A. doing something improperB. sleeping during the lectureC. counting the basketball tossesD. failing to notice something within sight24. How many people in the room saw the gorilla in the video?A. 1B. 3 or 4C.13 or 14D.1525. Whom dose “he”(last paragraph) refer to ?A. The authorB. The gorillaC. The lectureD. The student Passage TwoThere are few sadder sights than a pile of fan letter, lovingly decorated with hand drawings, suffering in a bin. The sparkly envelopes were addressed to Taylor Swift, a pop star much beloved by teenage and pre-teen girls. “Dear Taylor”, read one discard message, “I love you so much!! You’re the best! And you’re really beautiful and cute!! I’m really enjoying your songsThis, along with hundreds of other similar letters sent from around the world, was discovered in Nashville recycling disposal unit by a local woman. S wift’s management was quick to reassure her admirers that they had been thrown out accidentally. The response may come as a disappointment to any devotee who imagine, as they compose their letter, that Swift make time to view each one personallyDealing with pile of fan mail is, however, an administrative burden for most celebrities. While some celebrities do like to go through their mail personally, the majority simply do not have time. But the fact f their correspondence is something most committed fans will not wish to dwell on, say Lynn Zubernis, an expert in the psychology of fandom at West Chester University.“There’s this little bit of every fan that thinks theirs will be the one that stands out- it’s not an expectation, but a hope that theirs will be seen by the celebrity.”While the relationship between the fan and the celebrity may exist only in the mind of the former, it sterns from a deeply-rooted human need for community and belonging, Zubernis believe. As a result, even receiving a mass-produced letter of acknowledgment and a photo stamped with a reproduced signature can be a powerful experience.“People have a tremendous need to connect with the person they are idolizing(偶像化),”she says, “They can’t ring up and say, ‘Can we have coffee?’It’s not about the autograph(签名). It’s about the moment of connection.”26. Which of the following statements is true?A. The letters in the bin were exaggerating.B. Some letters to Swift were thrown away unread.C. A woman discovered the letters and discard themD. Poorly decorated letters were left unread27. Swift management claimed that______A. Swift had read each one of lettersB. fans could trust them with their lettersC. they were quick in response to the incidentD. they didn’t intend to throw away the letters.28. Most celebrities___________A. are too busy to read fan mailB. are afraid of receiving fan mailC. try their best to read fan mail themselves.D. care about the fate of fan mail29. According to Zubernis, fans want their letters to be read because they_____A. hope to show their hand drawingB. want the celebrities to see their talentC. desire to get connection with the starsD. dream of getting a photo of the stars30. Which of the following will fans cherish the most?A. The feeling of being related to their stars.B. The sense of being similar to their stars.C. The time spent with their stars.D. The autograph of their stars.Passage ThreeFacelift(紧肤术) followed by a week on a beach in Thailand? Hip surgery with a side of shopping in Singapore? Over the last 10 years, Asia’s rise on the medical tourism scene has been quick. Eastern nations dominate the global scene. Now Bali wants a slice of the action.The Indonesian island recently opened its first facility specifically targeting medical tourists with package and service, Bali International Medical Centre (BIMC) Nusa Dua. BIMC already has an international hospital in Kuta, which opened in 1998.The new internationally managed facility offers surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures and dental care.Unlike most of the region’s hospitals, BIMC is designed to feel more like a spa or resort(度假村) than a medical facility.The 50-bed hospital has a 24-hour medical emergency entrance and hotel-like lobby at the front of the building servicing the hospital’s medicals, and dental centers.If you’re a celebrity who doesn’t want everyone to know you’re here for a bit of lipo (吸脂术)，no worries. There’s private entrance that leads to the CosMedic Centre, which offers views of a golf course.BIMC has even teamed up with the nearby Courtyard by Marriott Bali, which provides specific after-care service like tailor-made meals and wellness programs for patient.Latest technology and cool interiors are a star, but breaking into a regional industry that already has some of the world’s top international hospital will be tough, says Joesf Woodman, CEO of U.S-based medical travel consumer guide Patients Beyond Borders(PBB).“As a newcomer, Bali faces stiff competition from nearby international healthcare providers. To compete, Bali will need to demonstrate a quality level of care and promote its services to the region and the world. On the positive side, Bali is blessed as one of the region’s safest, most popular tourist destinations, with a built –in potential to attract medical travelers.”The Indonesian island couldn’t have picked a bette r time to get into the game, says PBB. “The world population is aging and becoming wealthier at rate s that surpass the availability of quality healthcare resource,” says the company’s research.31. What does “medical tourism” (Para. 1) probably mean?A. Treating a disease during a tripB. Attracting patients with package toursC. Cosmetic treatment and a tour in oneD. Turning hospital into tourist attractions32. How does BIMC differ from regular hospitals?A. It offers cosmetic surgeryB. It has better environment and services.C. It accepts international patients.D. It has more beds and longer service hours.33. BIMC wishes to attract celebrities with its______A. privacy measuresB. first-class designC. free golf courseD. tailor-made meals34. According to Woodman, BIMC____A. threatens its regional competitorsB. will soon take the lead in the industryC. needs further improvementD. faces both challenges and opportunities35. What can be concluded from the last paragraph?A. The population is developing faster than medical resources.B. Healthcare is hardly available for the aging populationC. The world is in need of more quality medical care.D. The world population is becoming older and richer.Passage FourFor many of us, asking for help is a difficult concept. We may feel as if we are admitting a weakness that world would not have known about, had we not asked for help.Ironically, it’s been my experience that people who are able to deliver well-positioned requests for help are seen as very strong individuals. When they demonstrate the humility(谦卑) to ask for help, they earn the respect of others. People who receive a heartfelt request for help are usually honored by the request. In turn, we are strengthened by the very help that is provided.One of my clients (we’ll call her Kira) recently m ade shift in how she was interacting with her boss. When asked to prepare presentations, she assumed that she was expected to go away, develop the content, deliver it at the required meeting and then wait for feedback fromher boss. Her boss was highly regarded for the impact of his presentations, while Kira often that her presentations were lacking. When she took a hard look at how this approach was working for her, Kira recognized that she had not yet made use of her boss’s support. She could learn far more about creating attractive presentations by walking through a draft with her boss-focusing on the content plus her delivery- and obtaining feedback earlier in the process rather than at the back end. So she made the request for his support.The outcome? Her boss was delighted to coach Kira and was enthusiastic about the opportunity to put into use his own strength by teaching presentation skills more effectively to her. By taking the time to work together on presentation for a number of Kira’s key pre sentations, she benefited from her boss’s thought process and was able to distinguish the critical components to enhance her own presentations. Kir’s presentations now have punch!Some of us are uncomfortable asking for help because we believe that our request places burdens on the other person. Ironically, we may be missing an opportunity to show others how are value and respect them. People who know you and think well of you are often highly motivated to help. Furthermore, the more specific you can be about what you need from them, the easier it is for them to assist you.36. Many people are unwilling to ask for help because they____A. are confident of themselvesB. do not trust other peopleC. are ashamed of doing soD. do not think it necessary37. Which of the following may the author agree with?A. Asking for help means admitting weaknesses.B. Helping others is helping oneself.C. Well-positioned requests for help are welcomedD. Weak people often need more help.38. Kira’s request s for help_____A. turned out rewardingB. was turned downC. led to her promotionD. benefited her boss in return39. “Kira’s presentations now have punch” means her presentations are______A. forcefulB. controversialC. well receivedD. highly motivating40. The purpose of the passage is to _____A. illustrate how to ask for helpB. show the importance of mutual helpC. call for attention to other’s requestsD. encourage people to ask for helpSection BDirections：In this section，you are required to read one quoted blog and the comments on it. The blog and comments are followed by questions or unfinished statements，each with four suggested answers A，B，C and D. Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the answer sheet.A fascinating new study reveals that Americans are more likely to call their children “intelligent,” while European parents focus on happiness and balance.Here’s what one parent had to say about the intelligence of her 3-year-old, which was apparent to her from the very first moments of her life:“I have this vivid memory, when she was born, of them taking her to clean her off… And she was looking all around… She was alert from the very first second… I took h er out when she was six weeks old to a shopping mall to have her picture taken- people would stop me and say, “What an alert baby.” One guy stopped me and said, “Lady, she was an intelligent baby. ”Not only are Americans far more likely to focus on t heir children’s intelligence and cognitive skills, they are also far less likely to describe them as “happen” or “easy” children to parent.“The U.S ‘s unhealthy interest in cognitive development in the early years overlooks so much else,” the research ers told us.Comment 1:Probably indicates more about differences in cultural attitudes towards humility and boasting than about parenting styles. Here in the Netherlands if someone called their child “intelligent” I’d be rolling my eyes, both because it’s probably biased and overstated and because it’s just a rotten thing to draw attention to; as if it’s all about whose child it “better”. Life isn’t that much of a damn contest to us.Comment 2:Agreed! That would apply in Sweden too. Parenting i s more focused on the child’s well-being than social competition (there may be pressure here too, but it is not socially acceptable to express those things).Comment 3:I agree and I live in the U.S Parent’s opinions of their children’s intellect are d efinitely biased and overstated. It is the most annoying thing to listen to. Being “advanced” at a young age has little if anything to do with their ability to learn as they get older and EVERY child is a genius if you give them a chance and an to listen to them. The happier the Kid is, the smarter they will be. Happy and healthy is key.41. The passage is mainly concerned with cultural differences in .A. bringing up one’s childrenB. describing one’s childrenC. social contestsD. choosing a place to live in42. The world “alert”(Para.3) is closest in meaning to .A. intelligentB. easy-goingC. quick at noticing thingsD. happy43. According to Comment 1, in the Netherland s, calling one’s own child “intelligent”is .A. boastingB. acceptableC. encouragingD. reasonable44. What nationality is the writer of Comment 2?A. DutchB. AmericanC. SwedishD. French45.All of the following are true of Comment 3 EXCEPT that .A. it agrees with all the other commentsB. being happy and healthy is importantC. being intelligent at a young age makes no senseD. children’s intellect varies from person to personPart IV Cloze (10 minutes，10 points)Directions：In this part，there is a passage with ten blanks.
