Section A
Directions: After reading the passage 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.
The twenty-four horses dash around a racetrack. The thunder of their hooves ( 蹄) rings in the riders? ears, nearly 21 (drown) out the cheering of the crowd. After three or four minutes of suspense, one horse crosses the finish line first, winning the Melbourne Cup and earning a place in history.
The horses that compete in the Melbourne Cup—one of the world?s most famous horseraces—were fated to race. 22 (breed) for speed, these horses are the few 23 were singled out as having potential to become champions.
Preparing a racehorse to compete requires a team. A horse?s owner manages the team and decides which races to enter. A trainer determines the racehorse?s diet and exercise. Regular exercise makes a horse 24 ( likely) to be injured, but overtraining tires the horse. A groomer (动物
美容师) cares for the racehorse and reports any problems he discovers to the trainer. And of course,
no horserace could 25 (run) without a rider. These riders train for long hours and travel constantly from one race to another. They need to make a strategy, adapt 26 to changing conditions and communicate with their horse to guide it to victory.
Australia?s most famous horserace, the Melbourne Cup, is 3,200 meters of pure exci tement. Each year 300 or 400 horses are nominated (提名), but only 24 can run. The competitors are chosen
in terms of a number of factors, but winners of certain races qualify automatically.
Each racehorse receives a handicap—a certain weight it must carry to give each horse an equal chance of winning —two months before the race. Originally, horses that seemed likely to win were assigned larger handicaps. But the rules have changed, reducing the handicap for previous winners.
The first Melbourne Cup in 1861 d rew a crowd of 4,000 spectators and the race?s popularity
27 (grow) ever since. Held on the first Tuesday of November, the cup has become a four-day festival with fine food and entertainment.
The Melbourne Cup began during a gold rush 28 a form of entertainment for the rich. Today it still attracts society?s upper class with the implication 29 whoever comes is a man of distinction. They come dressed in their finest to enjoy the event in comfort.
30 noble and distinct the horserace looks, it?s all about the race the effort—of horses and riders, the suspense and the thrill of victory.

For more than three centuries, the American colonies and later, the United States have been a
place for many “- n h o a t v s e”to make the “American Dream ”come true for themselves and to become “haves. A”nd the optimism that people have, knowing that this mirac le will always happen has
grown out of some key elements in the history of the nation, a nation that has differed 31 from
every other country in the world. The economic 32 of the nation are also very much tied to
these success stories. Three characteristics have contributed to such attainments.
First, the United States had natural resources undreamed of in other parts of the world. For
farmers and ranchers there was land, often to be had cheaply or even for free. There were endless
forests to supply lumber and rich 33 of coal, oil, silver, copper and gold. Besides, critical to
the development of these resources was a population of both native-born Americans and immigrants
who were connected by their common work ethic. This ethic held that 34 and thrift should be
rewarded with ---- as Benjamin Franklin says ---- “a State of Affluence( 富足) and some Degree of Reputation in the World. ”These Americans believed in self improvement as well as in the nobility of
all kinds of work. They also, if somewhat 35 , often linked material success with spiritual movement. Next, by and large, America was characterized by a 36 class structure. In contrast
to England and other European countries with their history of aristocrats ( 贵族), this country was
filled by numerous communities in which family connections or 37 money counted for little.
However, the pursuit of American Dream sometimes also sometimes proved to be a source of
th
tension and strain. At the beginning of the 20 century, writers like Jack London and F. Scott
Fitzgerald depicted a lot of -not “”h c a h v a e r a c t e r s whose fate is not a matter of free will. They are
38 by forces beyond their control. Often, in their works, children or young people are victimized
by poverty that prevents them from 39 themselves. Convinced that a person?sdestiny is the
result of his or her heredity interacting with the environment, they employ many 40 details to
explore the oppressive world in which their characters are trapped. Analyzing characters? assumptions and values continued to illuminate the American experience.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three 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
If you're a male and you're reading this, congratulations: you're a survivor. According to statistics, you are more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer as a woman, and nine times more likely to die of AIDS. Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term, about 78 years for men
in Australia, you'll die on average five years before a woman.
There are many reasons for this—typically, men take more risks than women and are more likely to drink and smoke —but perhaps more importantly, men don't go to the doctor.
"Men aren't seeing doctors as often as they should," says Dr. Gullotta. "This is particularly so
for the over-40s, when disease tend to strike."
Gullotta says a healthy man should visit the doctor every year or two. For those over 45, it should be at least once a year.
Two months ago Gullotta saw a 50-year-old man who had delayed doing anything about his smoker's cough for a year.
"When I finally saw him it had already spread and he has since died from lung cancer," he says. "Earlier detection and treatment may not have cured him, but it would have prolonged his life."
According to a recent survey, 95% of women aged between 15 and early 40s see a doctor once
a year, compared to 70% of men in the same age group.
"A lot of men think they're undefeatable," Gullota says. "They only come in when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think, ,Geez, if it could happen to him, " ??
Then there's the ostrich approach. "Some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know," says Dr. Ross Cartmill.
"Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies," Cartmill says.
He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be addressed by preventive check-ups.
Regular check-ups for men would inevitably place strain on the public purse, Cartmill says. "But prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to treat the diseases. Besides, the ultimate cost
is far greater: it is called premature death."
56. Why does the author congratulate his male readers at the beginning of the passage？
A. They are more likely to survive serious diseases today.
B. Their average life span has been considerably extended.
C. They have lived long enough to read this article.
D. They are sure to enjoy a longer and happier life.
57. Which of the following best completes the underlined sentence "Geez, if it could happen to him, ?？"
A. it could happen to me, too
B. I should avoid playing golf
C. I should consider myself lucky
D. it would be a big misfortune
58. What does Dr. Ross Cartmill mean by “the ostric？h (a L p i n p e r o1a,c P h a ra.9))”
A. A casual attitude towards one?s health conditions.
B. A new therapy for certain psychological problems.
C. Refusal to get medical treatment for fear of the pain involved.
D. Unwillingness to find out about one?s disease because of fear.
59. What does Cartmill say about regular check-ups for men ？
A. They may increase public expenses.
B. They will save money in the long run.
C. They may cause psychological strains on men.
D. They will enable men to live as long as women.
B
Read the reviews posted on a Web site and answer the following questions.
Sammy: George has outdone himself once again. This man is a genius! I ?m disgusted with some of the reviews I ?ve read. This album has a jazzy feel which is a delight to the ears —every
track is a winner in its own unique way.
Tony: What can I say? I read a terrible review in the Los Angeles Times, which said this wasn ?t
up to George?s usual standards, and I didn?t believe a word of it. I ?m sorry to say that they
were right! Although I enjoyed most of the tracks, this is definitely George?s weakest
album so far. This boy is definitely never gonna dance again if he keeps on like this!
Angela: Bought the new GM album yesterday and have to say I ?m very disappointed. I ?ve been a fan for a long time and that won ?t change, but I ?m taking this CD back to the store right
now. Please, return to form next time, George!
Ben: Like a lot of people, I wasn ?t sure what to expect with this new album, but, unlike a lot of
people, I love it! I don?t understand why people complain it?s not like his earlier stuff.
Why would we want it to be? Surely we want to see some development each time. Some
of these tracks are just fantastic. Go, George!
Sean: Apparently GM ?s not produced anything for six years and this is what he comes up with. I
was expecting something more mature, but this is heavy in the extreme. Lighten up,
George, and skip the jazzy stuff.
Dora I?m impressed with the variety. Every track is different, but the album hangs together as a
whole. I wish there were more vocals, but otherwise this is one satisfied customer.
60. What are the reviews about?
A. A new star.
B. A newspaper.
C. A new song.
D. A new album.
61. ________ give a “like”in this posts.
A. Sammy and Tony
B. Angela and Sean
C. Sammy and Dora
D. Tony and Sean
62. What can be learned from Ben ?s post?
A. He doesn ?t like George ?s new stuff.
B. He didn ?t expect George to change.
C. George has kept to his old style.
D. George has disappointed some of his fans.
C
Educators are seriously concerned about the high rate of dropouts (辍学生) among the doctor of
philosophy candidates and the consequent loss of talent to a nation in need of PhDs. Some have
placed the dropout loss as high as 50 percent. The extent of the loss was, however, largely a matter
of expert guessing. Last week a well-rounded study was published. It was based on 22,000
questionnaires sent to former graduate students who were enrolled in 24 universities and it seemed to
show many past fears to be groundless.
The dropout rate was found to be 31 percent and in most cases the dropouts, while not
completing the PhD requirement, went on to productive work. They are not only doing well
financially, but, according to the report, are not far below the income levels of those who went on to
complete their doctorates (博士学位).
Discussing the study last week, Dr. Tucker said the project was initiated “because of the c
frequently expressed by graduate faculties and administrators that some of the individuals who
dropped out of PhD programs were capable of completing the requirement for the degree. The
decrease in the number of graduate students at the PhD level is also thought to be a waste of precious
faculty time and a drain on university resources already being used to capacity. Some people
expressed the opinion that the shortage of highly trained specialists and college teachers could be
reduced by persuading the dropouts to return to graduate schools to complete the PhD. ”“The results of our research, ”Dr. Tucker concluded, “did not support their opinion ”
Nearly 75 percent of the dropouts said there was no academic reason for their decision, but those
who mentioned academic reason cited failure to pass the qualifying examination, uncompleted
research and failure to pass language exams. Among the single most important personal reasons
identified by dropouts for non-completion of their PhD program, lack of finances was marked by
19percent.
As an indication of how well the dropouts were doing, a chart showed 2% in humanities were
receiving $20,000 and more annually while none of the PhDs with the background reached this
figure. The PhDs shone in the $7,500 to $15,000 bracket with 78% at that level against 50% for the
dropouts. This may also be an indication of the fact that top salaries in the academic fields, where
PhDs tend to rise to the highest salaries, are still lagging （落后）behind other fields.
As to the possibility of getting dropouts back on campus, the outlook was disappointing. The main
condition which would have to prevail for at least 25% of the dropouts who might consider returning
to graduate school would be to guarantee that they would retain their present level of income and in
some cases their present jobs.
63. The author states in the article that many educators feel that _______________.
A. the PhD holder is generally a more capable person than a dropout
B. the high PhD dropout rate is largely due to the lack of teaching faculty
C. a country will suffer from its PhD dropout rate as high as 50 percent
D. the dropouts should return to a lower quality school to continue their study
64. Meeting foreign language requirements for the doctoral students _______________.
A. is the most frequent reason for dropping out
B. is much easier for the humanities candidates
C. is an essential part of many PhD programs
D. does not vary in difficulty among universities
65. It can be inferred that the high rate of the PhD dropouts largely lies in ____________.
A. too low salaries for PhDs
B. lack of financial support
C. too high academic requirements
D. adequate job appeals for dropouts
66. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A. About one-third PhD candidates do not complete the work to earn the degree.
B. Some PhD dropouts enjoy satisfying good salaries and career progression.
C. PhDs are not earning what they actually deserve in nonacademic fields.
D. Optimism dominates regarding getting PhD dropouts to return to school.
Section C
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A. I have done house sitting many times.
B. Thousands of people do this all the time.
C. It is also possible to do house sitting in other countries.
D. You must take a little care over what your description says about you.
E. This is an international house sitting service for all city and country areas.
F. You must have a good car, so you can travel to different parts of the country.
House Sitting
In many countries of the world people do what is called house sitting. It means that if owners of the house are going away, they want someone to come into their home and look after the house and maybe pets while they are away.
In Australia, many people travel. After people retire, they might buy a van and travel all over
the country. ____67____
So if the owners want to travel or go away for some reason, they might want someone in their home to care for it and keep the gardens tidy. House sitters might have to care for pets. Also, quite a few people have swimming pools in their back yard and they need cleaning. ____68____ I feel it is a great way of seeing the country, because you go and stay in a new city, get to meet new people, and have time to go sightseeing in a new area.
Generally you have many opportunities to get a house sitting job. There are websites where you find the advertisements by people who want to travel, and by replying to the advertisement, you can make arrangements to go and look after their home.
There are some requirements to be a house sitter. You must be a trusted person, so that the home owner knows you will not steal anything. You must be able to go when the house owner wants you to go, so you need lots of free time. ____69____ You need to be good with pets, able to care for cats and dogs, or other pets they may have.
Some house sitting jobs are just for a few days or a couple of weeks while the house owners have a short holiday. Sometimes it is for much longer. We have had one house sitter for six months, while the home owners travelled to Europe.
____70____ Then you can travel to many different countries and stay there. One of the most important things to get is reference from the home owners where you have stayed. A reference is a written letter to say that you are trustworthy and have looked after their home well. You can show these letters to prospective house sitting jobs and they know you will do a good job.
IV . Summary Writing
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Encouragement and praise can come in many forms，and some ways are better for child development than others. Researchers at the University of Chicago and Stanford University who studied mother-child interactions over the course of several years found that the type of praise
children receive affects their attitudes toward challenges later in life.
Specifically, praise coming with feedback about their behavior and the choices that toddlers
made helped them to cope better with difficult experiences five years later, compared with
compliments that focused more on the child himsel f, like “You?re a good boy. ”
Elizabeth Gunderson, an assistant professor of psychology at Temple University says , “Praising
the efforts and actions of the kid is going to be more beneficial in their long-term persistence and
desire to be challenged and wo r k hard in the future. ”
Such “process praise ”includes comments such as “You worked really hard ”, which emphasize
the child?s actions. “Person praise ”includes comments like “You?re smart ”, which focus on a
inherent qualities. These distinctions aren?t new in the field of psychology, but exactly how they
affect children?s development hasn?t been clear.
As part of the study, researchers visited the homes of more than 50 toddlers between the age of
1 and 3 years old, and filmed their daily interactions with their parents during multiple 90-minute
sessions. Five years later, the researchers followed up with the families, measuring the children?s
attitudes toward challenges and problem solving. The children who grew up with more process
praise were more open to challenge, and were able to identify more ways of overcoming difficult
problems. They were also more likely to say they could improve intelligence with hard work. While
person praise didn?t seem to have any negative effect on the children, the study suggests that process
praise teaches children that their talents and abilities can be developed and improved, while person
praise sends the message that their abilities are fixed and therefore not easily altered.

Lots of times when we walked with Paul, other kids came over and asked us why h e was in his chair and why he couldn’t s 81. They thought he was different because he had his own school bus and had to go to a special school. But that's not really the reason. Paul was different for the things just our family knew about-only we knew the s 82 that made him special. Paul helped me hear small sounds. Every time I was with him, I'd have to beg q83 to hear the flying birds and the talking trees he heard. Paul helped me exercise. When we went for a walk, we'd often go uphill. When I pushed his chair all the way to the woods at the t 84 , I was really getting my exercise! Paul h 85 ever complained. He went along with whatever the rest of us wanted to do. One time when he had a fever, he got uncomfortable, but he never shouted or fought or asked me to switch the TV channel. Sometimes Paul let me put things in his hand. We played a kind of guessing game. I put different toys there for him to f 86 . He was always surprised when I let him hold something new. Paul was my friend. He couldn't talk to me like most of my friends, and he couldn't run outside to play. But he was there for all the peaceful times, and he had the best smile in the world. I was l87 to grow up with him as his sister. He helped me to realize that there is a good side to every situation, if we simply make the choice to find it. 2018 "Olyvia, love is simple. You don t have to do much to make someone happy. "That was what my mother said to me when I was a child. Over a year ago, I had a chance. My good friend Kaylee told me about her t_____81 to a small town called Gary, and how it was a life-changing experience. I made up my mind to go there myself. When I told my parents about the decision, they didn’t a_____ 82 at first. They said I didn’t know much about the place. They were worried that it was not s_____83 for me to go there. Thankfully, after I explained my plan to them in detail, they said yes. When our group arrived in Gary, I noticed how different the town was from where I lived. There were few stores or restaurants in the town; most had closed. So you would be very l_______84 if you could find a place to buy food or drinks. Houses were built on small hills. Many of them had broken doors or windows. My job was to help the local people to r_______ 85 houses. The work days were long and hot, but it was really good to see the houses taking on a new look day by day. The children there were also different. They seemed to enjoy every moment in life though they were poor. The smallest things would make these kids happy. I couldn’t find words to describe their j_____86 when they received an ice-cream, a ball or even a kiss. The community was like a big family. Everyone knew each other and was there when someone needed help. I am so glad that I had this unforgettable experience. I truly learned the m____ 87 of what my mother said. You don t need to do much to make a difference to others' lives.
