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. The biog and comments arc 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 bala nce.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 “happy” or “easy” children to parent.The U.S.’s unhealthy interest in cognitive developmen t 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 just a rotten thing to draw attention to; as if it’s all about whose child is “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 pressures 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 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 in _____.A. bringing up one’s childrenB. describing one’s childrenC. social contestsD. 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 Comment 1, in the Ne therlands, calling one’s own child “intelligent” is_____.A. boastingB. acceptableC. encouragingD. reasonable44. What nationality is the writer of Comment 2?A. Dutch.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 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.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. Whenshe was 8 years old, she 46 Pedal Power.

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 .

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, Ironically, it’s it’s it’s been been been my my my experience experience experience that that that people people people who who who are are are able able able to to to deliver deliver deliver well well well-positioned -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 w ith 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 Kira recognized recognized recognized that that that she she she had had had not not not yet yet yet made made made use use use of of of her boss’s her boss’s support. She could could learn learn learn far far far more 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 The outcome? outcome? outcome? Her Her Her boss boss boss was was was delighted delighted delighted to to to coach coach coach Kira Kira Kira and and and was was was enthusiastic enthusiastic enthusiastic about about about the 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 now have punch!Some Some of of of us us us are are are uncomfortable uncomfortable uncomfortable asking asking asking for for for help help help because because because we we we believe believe believe that that that our our our request request request places 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.

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 。

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.

同等学力英语语法词汇经典练习附答案解析
同等学力英语语法词汇经典练习附答案解析在英语学习中，语法和词汇是两个非常重要的方面。
语法规则让我们能够正确地组织句子，而词汇则是我们表达思想的基础。
为了帮助大家更好地掌握这两个方面，本文将提供一些经典的英语语法和词汇练习，并附上答案解析。
一、语法练习1、请将下列句子改为被动语态：a. They will build a new library next year.b. He has already finished his homework.答案：a. A new library will be built next year.b. His homework has already been finished.解析：将主动语态改为被动语态的关键是将动词的宾语变为动词的主语，同时将动词变为被动形式。
2、请将下列句子翻译成英语：他对音乐很感兴趣。
答案：He is interested in music.解析：这个句子的主语是“他”，谓语是“感兴趣”，宾语是“音乐”。
翻译时要注意英语中用介词表达“对……感兴趣”的意思。
3、请选择正确的连词填空：a. He ___________ go to the movies with us, ___________ he is too busy.b. ___________ he ___________ go to the movies with us?答案：a. can't, becauseb. Can, go解析：第一句中，“他太忙了”是他不和我们去看电影的原因，因此用表示原因的连词“because”。
第二句是一个疑问句，用情态动词“Can”开头。
二、词汇练习1、请根据上下文选择正确的单词填空：a. I ___________ a cup of coffee before bed.b. She ___________ her homework and is now relaxing.答案：a. drankb. has finished解析：第一句中提到的是过去的事情，所以应该用过去时态，而“drank”是过去式。

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).

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.

不快乐的人很快就会发现自己处于孤独与悲惨的境地。
然而，有一种简单得第一眼看上去近乎荒谬的治病良方：如果你不快乐的话，就假装你很快乐！这种治病良方很有效。
不久你就会发现，别人不再躲着你了，相反，你开始吸引别人了。
你会发现成为广结善缘的中心人物，是很有回报的事情。
然后假装就变成了事实。
一旦你认识到快乐是一种责任并使快乐成为习惯，通向不可思议的乐园的大门就会向你敞开，那里满是感激你的朋友。
PartⅦWriting (15 points)The possibility of using the mobile phone to study English Wherever you are, you can see many people equipped with mobile phones. Mobile phones have become a daily necessity as well as a useful tool for communicating, working and learning. As far as I am concerned, we can use mobile phones to study English or any other subject.It is not difficult for me to come up with some factors to account for my viewpoint. To begin with, more and more people are accustomed to using the handset to access the internet. The bulks of information are resourceful for people to learn English or any information. Secondly, with the advancement of technology, people can download some soft wares, like online-dictionary, words-memorization, audio and video soft wares, which can facilitate learning English more efficiently and effectively. They are able to look for some new words or read some English passages. Additionally, mobile phones are portable, we can make use of the fragmented time for learning.In my view, mobile phones, rather than being just simple communicative tools, enable people to easily get access to any information they need. It is mobile phone that makes instant learning, effective acquisition of knowledge possible.。
