On the third day, Tina received the message from the company telling her that she was not employed. She felt upset. In order to comfort her, I pretended to be relaxed and said, "It does not matter!

Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks,use one word that best fits each blank.(A)Alan and Linda always dreamed of living “the good life”. Both from poor working-class families, they married young and set out to fulfil their mutual goal of becoming wealthy. They both worked very hard for years. ____25____ (earn) enough money, they finally could move from their two-bedroom home to a seven-bedroom home in a rich neighbourhood. They focused their energies on trying to have ____26____ they considered important for a good life: membership in the local country club, luxury cars, designer clothing, and high-class society friends. ____27____ much they earned, it never seemed to be enough. They were unable to remove the financial insecurity that ____28____ (acquire) in childhood. Then the stock market crashed in 1987, and Alan and Linda lost a considerable amount of money. Alan also suffered from heart attack, ____29____ cost the family much. One thing led to ____30____, and they found themselves in a financial disaster. Their house needed to be sold, and eventually they lost the country club membership and the cars. It was several years ____31____ Alan and Linda managed to land on their feet, and though they now live a life far from wealthy, they have learned a valuable lesson from their lives and felt quite blessed. Only now, as they think of what ____32____ (remain) —a solid, loving marriage, a dependable income, and good friends —do they realize that true abundance comes not from gathering fortunes, but rather from appreciating.(B)We all hope to enjoy harmonious relationships with our parents. In real life, however, this is not always possible. The poem “Those Winter Sundays”by Robert Hayden expresses the speaker’s regret over the way the speaker, when he was young, ____33____ (treat) his father. It is only when he looks back on how he has grown up ____34____ he begins to understand his father’s unselfish love.In remembering the small things his father did ____35____ him and his family, such as lighting a fire in the morning and polishing his shoes, the speaker begins to understand an aspect of parental love that escaped ____36____ notice in the past.As he recalls how his father warmed the house, the speaker’s coldness toward his father starts to melt away. In its place is love and gratitude. It dawns on him that love is not just hugging and kissing, or always warm and affectionate, but ____37____ well be cold and stern in appearance. In fact, mature love often requires self-discipline and self-sacrifice.During our stressful teen years, we may find that our parents, especially our fathers, have difficulty____38____ (show) their love for us verbally —sometimes when we need it most. This is certainly very discouraging. However, if we remember ____39____ (be) grateful or not so self-centered, we will see that their love has always been there, only ____40____ (express) in ways different from what we may have expected.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.We need more men in our hospital, not as doctors, but as nurses. Over the last few years, I have found that having male nurses is a real bonus, and they definitely have a place in our hospital. There are several reasons for wanting male nurses here, not only because half the population in our country is male. Men ____41____ excellent carers and are ____42____ good at taking care of others. In fact, many men take good care of their children, wives, parents, sisters, brothers, and even their nieces and nephews.Another reason that men can become great nurses is that in general, men are ____43____ stronger than women. Male nurses can help ____44____ heavy objects, or if, for example, a patient cannot move from the waist down, male nurses can help move the patient into a comfortable ____45____. Also, male nurses can be a great help in keeping patients ____46____ while they receive painful treatment, such as when bandages covering wounds are changed. Another advantage to having male nurses is that they see things from a different ____47____ from women and bring a male way of thinking to problem-solving. This allows the hospital to work more effectively than if we only ____48____ problems one way. Having a mix of male and female nurses also helps create a fun atmosphere, which helps patients recover faster.Currently, only 7 percent of our nursing staff are men; this number is far too low, and the problem requires correction. Having more male nurses will help create a positive ____49____ between male and female staff, and it will ____50____ patients the choice of a male or female carer. I am determined to take on more male nurses here at Central Hospital. I will be organizing an open day soon to allow interested young men to visit our hospital and find out more about nursing. Hopefully, we will have more male nurses in our hospital soon!III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.If you study medicine at university, chances are you’ll become a doctor. For music students, it’s less ____51____ what job you’ll end up with… but it could be really fulfilling. The idea that options are ____52____ and jobs are few for music graduates needs to ____53____.It’s wrongly assumed that when it comes to jobs, music students are ____54____ their field of study. ____55____, music graduates go on to do a wide range of jobs in a variety of different industries.Alumni surveys from the University of Nottingham show that music graduates are employed across a varied range of ____56____. As you might expect, a large proportion (50%) work in the creative industry, but the roles performed by graduates ____57____ greatly.Some music grads work with professional ensembles (歌舞团), but not all are performing as ____58____: —Music grads work in publishing, editing, media production, broadcasting, and marketing. And many work in management roles. Less anticipated but no less common is the employment of music graduates in finance and banking, legal and consultancy.Dr. Robert Adlington, an associate professor of music at the University of Nottingham, ____59____ these successful and varied outcomes to the highly desirable ____60____ developed by music students during their studies.In 2011, the Confederate of British Industry outlined the seven skills that ____61____ employability: self-management, team work, business and customer awareness, problem solving, communication, numeracy, and IT skills. Adlington says that music students develop all seven of these. By this measure, music graduates are among the most ____62____ of all.While some of these skills are obtained by students of all subjects — for example, team work, good communication, self-management —Adlington points out that music students have a(n) ____63____. The experience of organising, hosting, and performing in events that are open to the public provides them with skills beyond those on other degree programmes. Few degrees require knowledge of customer awareness, or interaction with the public, for example.Music graduates’success is a(n) ____64____ of how changes in the music industry allow artists to produce and publicise themselves. The internet means artists can publish, distribute, and promote their own work. These methods are nothing new, but if ____65____ professional knowledge and experience, it can be a winning, name-making recipe.51. A. important B. urgent C. obvious D. satisfactory52. A. tight B. narrow C.hollow D. strict53. A. change B. liberate C. reflect D. function54. A. contributed to B. related to C. lost to D. restricted to55. A. In addition B. In turn C. In contrast D.

A. benefit B. advantage C. chance D. resolution64. A. reflection B. command C. potential D. knowledge65. A. related to B. charged with C. exposed to D. combined withSection BDirections:Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)After hours sitting inside Deep Worker, it feels good toget back. While you’re stretching on the deck, others on theship are at work studying the data you have collected.The rock samples you collected are taken to alaboratory on board the ship. Tests performed on oceanrocks can show the age of the seafloor. Many people willstudy the videotapes of the swordfish. There is nothing like avideo to show others exactly what you saw and experienced in the deep. Videos capture details of how animals move and behave —details that a person sitting inside Deep Worker could easily miss. Those details can help scientists better understand the role each kind of animal plays in its deep-sea community.While you were below, Deep Worker’s exact location was being tracke d. Thus, detailed maps of the seafloor, showing underwater canyons and mountains far beneath the surface can be made with the help of this information. Dive by dive, Sylvia Earle and her fellow scientists are piecing together remarkable pictures of the deep sea — a world that until recently was as unknown as a distant planet.Since Sylvia first began exploring the waters around Florida, she’s seen changes — trash on the seafloor, fewer fish, polluted water. These ocean problems in Florida and in many other parts of the world make people like Sylvia anxious. They want to know how to protect the ocean, and how to restore it to good health where damage has been done.Sylvia and other scientists are learning more about the ocean, especially the deep sea, than ev er before. The more we know about a place, the better we understand it. As Sylvia says, “With knowing comes caring. If people care about something, they will work to protect it.”66. What does the bold-typed phrase “this information” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.The location of underwater canyons and mountains.B.Remarkable pictures of the deep sea.C.These ocean problems.D.The track of Deep Worker.67. Sylvia Earle is probably a scientist who ________________.A.specializes in making mapsB.cares about the oceanC.works on an unknown shipD.performs experiments in a laboratory68. According to Paragraph 4, which statement about Sylvia is TRUE?Sylvia ______________.A.has seen fewer fish and polluted waterB.is concerned about the ocean problemsC.has explored the waters and protected the oceanD.has restored good health after her injury69. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A.Working below in Deep WorkerB.Ocean Exploration and Ocean MapsC.Deep Worker Saving the WorldD.Ocean familiarity and Ocean Preservation(B)Walking, cycling or hopping on to public transport are thebest ways to travel with a clean conscience. Yet cars remain animportant option for many families because of its convenience.For people in rural areas, or with mobility problems, a car can bean essential lifeline.Drive with styleNo matter what kind of car you run, the least reliable part will be you: your driving style has a massive impact on the fuel needed, with acceleration, gear-changing and braking all playing a significant role.Inching along at the pace of a child’s tricycle might feel frugal but won’t magically yield peak economy. In most modern cars, accelerate normally, changing up at 2,000rpm in a diesel, or 2,500rpm in a petrol-powered car. Once at a sensible steady speed, choose the highest gear that will let the engine run without labouring.A number of eco-driving apps are available for smartphones, to help you improve your smoothness. The A Glass of Water iPhone app offers tips to help you avoid spilling a drop. The free RAC Traffic app is also a great way to avoid wasting fuel in traffic jams.It’s also important to:● Check tyre pressures once a month.● Leave junk at home. Carrying extra weight in the boot wastes excess fuel.● Leave in good time and don’t speed. An extra 10mph on the motorway will add 10% to your fuel bill.Power playsIt may be decades before alternative fuels such as hydrogen become commonplace, but hybrid cars that use battery power to boost a petrol or diesel engine are already available in every category. It means many families might find an electric vehicle ideal as a second car.Sell your wheels, still travel by carIf you need a car for short periods, such as shopping, and live in a city, then consider a short-term car-hire service such as Zipcar instead of owning a car. If you’re travelling longer distances, pay your share of the fuel costs to someone who’s already driving there.70. What can you infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2?A. Choosing a fuel-saving car matters more than your driving style.B. Your driving style matters most to the fuel needed.C. You should rely on yourself to drive a car.D. Whether a car saves fuel depends largely on the car you choose.71. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?A. ecologicalB. convenientC. economicalD. beneficial72. Which of the following is NOT a suggested way of saving fuel according to the writer?A.Driving along at a very low speed.B.Checking tyre pressures regularly.C.Putting the extra weight off the boot.D.Applying the eco-driving apps on smartphones.73. Which may be the best choice for a visiting scholar who frequently gives lectures at collegesin a neighboring town?A. Walking.B. Owning an electric vehicle.C. Renting a car.D. Buying a stylish car.(C)The death of languages is not a new phenomenon. Languages usually have a relatively short life span as well as a very high death rate. Only a few, including Egyptian, Chinese, Greek, Latin, have lasted more than 2,000 years.What is new, however, is the speed at which they are dying out. Europe’s colonial conquests caused a sharp decline in linguistic diversity, eliminating at least 15 percent of all languages spoken at the time. Over the last 300 years, Europe has lost a dozen, and Australia has only 20 left of the 250 spoken at the end of the 18th century.The rise of nation-states has also been decisive in selecting and consolidating national languages and sidelining others. By making great efforts to establish an official language in education, the media and the civil service, national governments have deliberately tried to eliminate minority languages.This process of linguistic standardization has been boosted by industrialization and scientific progress, which have imposed new methods of communication that are swift, straightforward and practical. Language diversity came to be seen as an obstacle to trade and the spread of knowledge. Monolingualism became an ideal.More recently, the internationalization of financial markets, the spread of information by electronic media and other aspects of globalization have intensified the threat to “small” languages.A language not on th e Internet is a language that “no longer exists” in the modern world. It is out of the game.The serious effects of the death of languages are evident. First of all, it is possible that if we all ended up speaking the same language, our brains would lose some of their natural capacity for linguistic inventiveness. We would never be able to figure out the origins of human language or resolve the mystery of “the first language”. As each language dies, a chapter of human history closes.Multilingualism is the most accurate reflection of multiculturalism. The destruction of the first will inevitably lead to the loss of the second. Imposing a language without any links to a people’s culture and way of life stifles the expression of their collective genius. A language is not only used for the main instrument of human communication. It also expresses the world vision of those who speak it, their imagination and their ways of using knowledge. To safeguard languages is an urgent matter.74. Which of the following does not contribute to the death of languages?A. Colonial conquests of Europe.B. The boom of human population.C. Advances in science and industrialization.D. The rise of nation-states.75. What does the underlined word “stifles” in Paragraph 7 probably mean?A. boostsB. fuelsC. imposesD. kills76. The serious effects of the death of languages include all except that____________.A. people would fail to understand how languages originated.B. language diversity would become an obstacle to globalization.C. monolingualism would lead to the loss of multiculturalism.D. human brains would become less creative linguistically.77. What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?A. To explain the reasons why languages are dying out.B. To warn people of the negative aspects of globalization.C.

Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.The launch of the UK’s biggest online university venture has the potential to “revolutionise conventional models of formal education” and keep UK ahead in the global race to deliver the best education, says universities minister David Willetts.The FutureLearn project will see more than 20 institutions enter the global market to offer massive open online courses, or Moocs. Until now, the US has led the way in the creation of Moocs, catering to an estimated 3 million learners worldwide with hundreds of courses from a range of top institutions.Bath, Exeter, Birmingham, Edinburgh and Warwick are among the 21 UK universities that have signed up. The British Library, British Museum and British Council will also make material available to students. The venture, set up by the Open University, is a response to the rise of Moocs and will offer students a new and innovative way to access courses, says Martin Bean vice-chancellor of the Open University. Bean said, “Time and again we have seen the impact the Internet can have on industries — driving innovation and enhancing the customer experience. I have no doubt Moocs will do the same for education — offering people new and exciting ways to learn.”A senior academic at University College London — which has chosen not to be involved in FutureLearn —has questioned whether the Mooc model is the best road for universities to go down. Although free for students, online courses have some downsides. Stephen Caddick, professor at the university, says students want flexibility above all. “Moocs are an online product of higher education currently experienced offline by a lot of students: inflexible”, said Caddick. “These courses are free to students, yet very expensive to develop for universities. ”Simon Nelson, CEO of FutureLearn, said university partners see this opportunity as “money extremely well spent”, helping them to boost their global profile and encourage experimentation and innovation within university departments. According to Nelson, FutureLearn will continue to expand its number of partners both in the UK and overseas, as well as develop its commercial model, which in the future could see students paying to take exams and purchase extra course material.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.)78.
