Reading Comprehension. (2 points for each, altogether 20 points)Directions: There are 2 passages followed by questions. Beneath each question there arejz*four choices respectively marked by letters A, B, C and D. Choose the right answer for each question. Write your answers on the answer sheet.Passage One Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.In cities with rent control, the city government sets the maximum rent that a landlord can charge for an apartment. Supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are living in apartments. Their rent cannot increase; therefore, they are not in danger of losing their homes. However, the critics say that after a long time, rent control may have negative effects. Landlords know that they cannot increase their profits. Therefore, they invest in other businesses where they can increase their profits. They do not invest in new buildings which would also be rent-controlled. As a result, new apartments are not built. Many people who need apartments cannot find any. According to the critics, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments in the city.Some theorists argue that the minimum wage law can cause problems in the same way. The federal government sets the minimum that an employer must pay workers. The minimum helps people who generally look for unskilled, low-paying jobs. However, if the minimum is high, employers may hire fewer workers. They will replace workers with machinery. The price, which is the wage that employers must pay, increases. Therefore, other things being equal, the number of workers that employers want decreases. Thus, critics claim, an increase in the minimum wage may cause unemployment. Some poor people may find themselves without jobs instead of with jobs at the minimum wage.Supporters of the minimum wage say that it helps people keep their dignity. Because of the law, workers cannot sell their services for less than the minimum. Furthermore, employers cannot force workers to accept jobs at unfair wages.Economic theory predicts the results of economic decisions such as decisions about farm production, rent control, and the minimum wage. The predictions may be correct only if “other things are equal〞. Economists do not agree on some of the predictions. They also do not agree on the value of different decisions. Some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it. Economists do agree, however, that there are no simple answers to economic questions.31. There is the possibility that setting maximum rent may.[A]cause a shortage of apartments[B]worry those who rent apartments as homes[C]increase the profits of landlords[D]encourage landlords to invest in building apartment32.According to the critics, rent control[A]will always benefit those who rent apartments[B]is unnecessary[C]will bring negative effects in the long run[D]is necessary under all circumstances33.The problem of unemployment will arise[A]if the minimum wage is set too high[B]if the minimum wage is set too low[C]if the workers are unskilledjz*[D]if the maximum wage is set34.The passagetells us[A]the relationship between supply and demand[B]the possible results of government controls[C]the necessity of government control[D]the urgency of getting rid of government controls35.Which of the following statements is NOT true"[A]The results of economic decisions can not always be predicted.[B]Minimum wage can not always protect employees.[C]Economic theory can predict the results of economic decisions if other factors are not changing.[D]Economic decisions should not be based on economic theory.Passage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Social customs and ways of behaving change. Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behavior for a man to smoke on street. No man who thought of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room.Customs also differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country" Or doesn't it matter" Should you use both hands when you are eating" Should leave one in your lap, or on the table"The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also, most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman, and so will most Americans. Promptness is important both in England and in America. That is , if a dinner invitation is for 7 o'clock , the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay.The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable-----especially if they are your guests. When the food was served , one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife . The other guests were amused or shocked, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.36. If one has accepted a dinner invitation, what should he do if he is late for the dinner"[A]. He should find an excuse[B]. He should ask for excuse.[C]. He should say sorry[D].He should telephone to explain his being late.37."It would have been bad manners to make his guests feel foolish or uncomfortable." "Bad manners " means ________.[A] ugly [B] dishonest [C] impolite [D] shameful38. Which of the following do you think is the best title for this passage" .[A] Social Customs and Customs [B] Social Life[C] American and British Customs [D] Promptness Is Importantjz*39. According to the text, the best host_______.[A]. tries his best to make his guests feel comfortable[B]. makes his guests feel excited[C]. tries to avoid being naughty to his guests[D]. tries to avoid being foolish40.The author of this article may agree with which of the following"[A].

Each passage is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1The phrase almost completes itself: midlife crisis. It’s the stage in the middle of the journey when people feel youth vanishing, their prospects narrowing and death approaching.There’s only one problem with the cliche (套话).It isn’t true.“In fact, there is almost no hard evidence for midlife crisis other than a few small pilot studies conducted decades ago,”Barbara Hagerty writes in her new book, Life Reimagined. The vast bulk of the research shows that there may be a pause, or a shifting of gears in the 40s or 50s, but this shift “can be exciting, rather than terrifying”.Barbara Hagerty looks at some of the features of people who turn midlife into a rebirth. They break routines, because “autopilot is death”. They choose purpose over happiness一having a clear sense of purpose even reduces the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. They give priority to relationships, as careers often recede(逐渐淡化).Life Reimagined paints a picture of middle age that is far from gloomy. Midlife seems like the second big phase of decision-making. Your identity has been formed; you’ve built up your resources; and now you have the chance to take the big risks precisely because your foundation is already secure.Karl Barth described midlife precisely this way. At middle age, he wrote, “the sowing is behind; now is the time to reap. The run has been taken; now is the time to leap. Preparation has been made; now is the time for the venture of the work itself.”The middle-aged person, Barth continued, can see death in the distance, but moves with a “measured haste”to get big new things done while there is still time.What Barth wrote decades ago is even truer today. People are healthy and energetic longer. We have presidential candidates running for their first term in office at age 68, 69 and 74. A longer lifespan ischanging the narrative structure of life itself. What could have been considered the beginning of a descent is now a potential turning point—the turning point you are most equipped to take full advantage of.1.What does the author think of the phrase “midlife crisis”?A) It has led to a lot of debate. B) It is widely acknowledged.C) It is no longer fashionable. D) It misrepresents real life.2.How does Barbara Hagerty view midlife?A) It may be the beginning of a crisis.B) It can be a new phase of one’s life.C) It can be terrifying for the unprepared.D)It may see old-age diseases approaching.3.How is midlife pictured in the book Life Reimagined?A) It can be quite rose.B) It can be burdensome.C) It undergoes radical transformation.D) It makes for the best part of one’s life.4.According to Karl Barth, midlife is the time_______.A) to relax B) to matureC) to harvest D) to reflect5.What does the author say about midlife today?A) It is more meaningful than other stages of life.B) It is likely to change the narrative of one’s life,C) It is more important to those with a longer lifespan.D)It is likely to be a critical turning point in one’s life.Passage 2In spring, chickens start laying again, bringing a welcome source of protein at winter’s end. So it’s no surprise that cultures around the world celebrate spring by honoring the egg.Some traditions are simple, like the red eggs that get baked into Greek Easter breads. Others elevate the egg into a fancy art, like the heavily jewel-covered “eggs”that were favored by the Russians starting in the 19th century.One ancient form of egg art comes to us from Ukraine. For centuries, Ukrainians have been drawing complicated patterns on eggs. Contemporary artists have followed this tradition to create eggs that speak to the anxieties of our age: Life is precious, and delicate. Eggs are, too.“There’s something about their delicate nature that appeals to me,”says New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast. Several years ago, she became interested in eggs and learned the traditional Ukrainian technique to draw her very modem characters. “I’ve broken eggs at every stage of the process—from the very beginning to the very, very end.”But there’s an appeal in that vulnerability. “There’s part of this sickening horror of knowing you’re walking on the edge with this, that I kind of like, knowing that it could all fall apart at any second.”Chast’s designs, such as a worried man alone in a tiny rowboat, reflect that delicateness.Traditional Ukrainian decorated eggs also spoke to those fears. The elaborate patterns were believed to offer protection against evil.“There’s an ancient legend that as long as these eggs are made, evil will not prevail in the world,”says Joan Brander, a Canadian egg-painter who has been painting eggs for over 60 years, having learned the art from her Ukrainian relatives.The tradition, dating back to 300 B.C., was later incorporated into the Christian church. The old symbols, however, still endure. A decorated egg with a bird on it, given to a young married couple, is a wish for children.

The report refers to this as the coming of the “18-hour city,”,and uses the term to refer to cities like Houston, Austin, Charlotte, and Nashville, which are “positioning themselves as highly competitive, in terms of livability, employment offerings, and recreational and cultural facilities.”Another trend that looks significant in 2015 is that America’s largest population group, Millennials (千禧一代),will continue to put off buying a house. Apartments will retain their appeal for a while for Millennials, haunted by what happened to home-owning parents.This trend will continue into the 2020s, the report projects. After that, survey respondents disagree over whether this generation will follow in their parents,footsteps, moving to the suburbs to raise families, or will choose to remain in the city center.Another issue affecting real estate in the coming year will be America’s failing infrastructure. Most roads, bridges, transit, water systems, the electric grid, and communications networks were installed 50 to 100 years ago, and they are largely taken for granted until they fail.The report’s writers state that America’s failure to invest in infrastructure impacts not only the health of the real-estate market, but also our ability to remain globally competitive.Apart from the specific trends highlighted above, which cause some investors to worry, the report portrays an overall optimism borne by the recent healthy real-estate “upcycle”and improving economy. Seventy-four percent of the respondents surveyed report a “good to excellent”expectation of real-estate profitability in 2015. While excessive optimism can promote bad investment patterns, resulting in a real- estate “bubble,”the report’s writers downplay that potential outcome in that it has not yet occurred.11. According to the new report, real estate development in 2015 will witness_______ .A) an accelerating speedB) a shift to city centersC) a new focus on small citiesD) an ever-increasing demand12. What characterizes “24-hour cities”like New York?A) People can live without private cars.B) People are generally more competitive.C) People can enjoy services around the clock.D) People are in harmony with the environment.13. Why are Millennials reluctant to buy a house?A) They can only afford small apartments.B) The house prices are currently too high.C) Their parents' bad experience still haunts them.D) They feel attached to the suburban environment.14. What might hinder real estate development in the U.S.?A) The continuing economic recession in the country.B) The lack of confidence on the part of investors.C) The fierce global competition.D) The worsening infrastructure.15. How do most of the respondents in the survey feel about the U.S. real-estate market in 2015?A) Pessimistic. B) Hopeful.C) Cautious. D) Uncertain.Part II: Vocabulary and Structure(2*10=20)Directions: In this part there are 10 incomplete sentences. For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.

Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across theThe dog, called Prince, was an intelligent animal and a slave to Williams. From morning till night, when Williams was at home, Prince never left his sight, practically ignoring all other members of the family. The dog had a number of clearly defined duties, for which Williams had patiently trained him and, like the good pupil he was, Prince lived for the chance to demonstrate his abilities.When Williams wanted to put on his boots, he would murmur “Boots” and within seconds the dog would drop them at his feet. At nine every morning, Prince ran off to the general store in the village, returning shortly not only with Williams' daily paper butsoft mouth specially evolved for the safe carrying of huntedcreatures, so the paper and the tobacco came to no harm, neverWilliams was a railwayman, an engine driver, and he wore a blue uniform which smelled of oil and oil fuel. He had to work at odd times —“days”, “late days” or “nights”. Over the years Prince got to know these periods of work and rest, knew when his master would leave the house and return, and the dog did not waste this knowledge. If Williams overslept, as he often did, Prince barked at the bedroom door until he woke, much to the annoyance of the family. On his return, Williams' slippers were brought to him, the paper and tobacco too if previouslyA curious thing happened to Williams during the snow and ice of last winter. One evening he slipped and fell on the icy pavement somewhere between the village and his home. He was so badly shaken that he stayed in bed for three days; and not until he got up and dressed again did he discover that he had lost his wallet containing over fifty pounds. The house was turned upside down in the search, but the wallet was not found. However, two days later—that was five days after the fall—Prince dropped the wallet into William's hand.

There are different forms of colour blindness. A man may not be able to see deep red.He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green—In certain occupations colour blindness can be dangerous and candidates are tested most carefully. For example, when fighting at night, soldiers use lights of flares to signal to each other. A green light may mean “Advance” and a red light may mean “Danger! Keep back!”, You can see what will happen ifsomebody thinks that red is green! Colour blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”, These help to see in a bright light and to tell the difference between colours. There are also millions of “rods” but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shape but not colour. Wait until it is dark tonight, then go outside. Look round you and try to seeBirds and animals which hunt at night have eyes which contain few or no cones at all, so they cannot see colours. As far as we know, bats and adult owls cannot see colours at all only light and dark shapes. Similarly cats and dogs cannot see colours asseem grey and dull to us, but to insects they may appear beautiful, showing colours which we cannot see. Scientists know that there are other colours around us which insects can see but which we cannot see. Some insects have favorite colours. Mosquitoes like blue, but do not like yellow.

It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual circumstances of the time and the individual child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or arousing his sadistic impulses. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often guilty of cruelty than those who had not. Aggressive, destructive, sadistic impulses every child has and, on the whole, their symbolicverbal discharge seems to be rather a safety valve than an incitement to overt action. As to fears, there are, I think,rously terrified by some fairy stories. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fearThere are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches,instead of indulging his fantasies in fairy tales, the child should be taught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics. I find such people, I must confess, so unsympathetic and peculiar that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of madmen attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a broomstick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was theirNo fairy story ever claimed to be a description of the external56.

For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person (1 to 5) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Markyour answers on your ANSWER SHEET.If you smoke and you still don't believe that there's a definite link between smoking and bronchial troubles, heart disease and lung cancer, then you are certainly deceiving yourself. Just have a look at those people in hospital with these diseases and count how many of them do not smoke, you may be surprised at the number. Even these few people might be passive smokers without realising it.Tobacco is a wonderful commodity to tax. It's almost like a tax on our daily bread. In tax revenue alone, the government of Britain collects enough from smokers to pay for its entire educational facilities. So while the authorities point out ever so carefully that smoking may be harmful, it doesn't do to shout too loudly about it.The advertising of tobacco is one of the problems. We are never shown pictures of real smokers coughing up their lings early in the morning. That would never do. The advertisements alwaysmanly to smoke, even positively healthy! Smoking is associatedwith the great open air life, with beautiful girls, true love and togetherness.Of course tobacco can help government to raise money. However, while money is eagerly collected in vast sums with one hand, it is paid out in increasingly vaster sums with the other. Enormous amounts are spent on cancer research and on efforts to cure people suffering from the disease. Countless valuable lives are lost. In the long run, there is no doubt that everybody would be much better off if smoking were banned altogether.Smoking can provide constant consolation. When I feel worried or nervous, I just get a cigarette and everything seem to get right. After a day's hard work, the thing I want to do most is smoking. It can be even better with a cup of coffee. It's so enjoyable and relaxing that it relieves stresses of every day life. So why botherNow match each of the people (1 to 5) to the appropriate61. Hadley C63.65.

All eyes will turn to New York City, London, Milan and Paris this month to see which city puts on the best show.New YorkNew York Fashion Week, or NYFW, kicks off on September 5th and runs for approximately eight days. NYFW is considered the most commercial and casual of the four. It is also the only event to allow some fashion school students to participate, bringing a fresh look to the runway. LondonLondon Fashion Week (LFW)comes on the heels of NYFW, starting on September 13th and running through September 17th. Once considered a minor player among the Big Four, LFW can now command a list of big names as well as promising new designers.

This beautiful Italian city is home to some of the biggest fashion houses and designers in the fashion world, including Armani and Prada.

A pregnant woman and her screaming 2-year-old daughter were trapped in the car.While his partner, Allen Hadley, was tending to the driver, Lloyd couldn't get the frightened girl to calm down. He saw she was holding several bottles of nail polish, and then he had a better idea. He asked her if she wanted to paint his nails. Soon she entirely lit up. At the same time, Hadley showed up to check on the scene.Lloyd had calmed her down and was in the process of getting his fingers painted. Then Hadley just put his hand in there. The girl began to color his nails pink. By this time, she was not only calm, but she was also happy.The girl's mother was not injured. She thanked them for helping herdaughter feel better, and they all chuckled, looking at the firefighters' nails, and took some photos.The firefighters brought the photos back to headquarters and showed them around. The department put them up on Facebook, and thousands of people responded, with many thanking the firefighters for going out of their way to calm down a frightened girl.Fire Chief Mark Becraft said he had been surprised at all the attention. He said he was proud of his firefighters, and added that he had known members of the department who had done many things that weren't part of the job.After the fact, Lloyd and Hadley had a small matter to tend to:the layers of polish on their nails. They bought a bottle of nail polish remover, and used almost all of it.24.Why was the 2-year-old girl frightenedA. She was caught in an accident.B. Her mother was badly injured.C.

To introduce the little girl who likes polishing nails.D.To praise the two firefighters who learn to decorate nails.CIn spring, chickens start laying eggs again, bringing a welcome source of protein at winter’s end. So it’s no surprise that cultures around the world celebrate spring by honoring the egg.Some traditions are simple, like the red eggs that get baked into Greek Easter breads. Others upgrade the egg into a fancy art, like the heavily jewel-covered “eggs” that were favored by the Russians starting in the 19th century.One ancient form of egg art is egg painting, which comes to us from Ukraine. For centuries, Ukrainians have been drawing complicated patterns on eggs. Contemporary artists have followed this tradition and adapted the traditional methods to create eggs that speak to the anxieties of our age: Life is precious, and delicate. Eggs are, too.“There’s something about their delicate nature that crazily appeals to me,” says New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast. Several years ago, she became interested in egg painting and learned the traditional Ukrainian technique to draw her very modern characters. “I’ve broken eggs atevery stage of the process — from the very beginning to the very, very end.”But there’s an appeal in that vulnerability. “There’s part of this sickening horror that I kind of like, the horror of knowing you’re walking on the edge with this, knowing that it could all fall apart at any second.” Chast’s designs, such as a worried man alone in a tiny boat, reflect that delicateness.Traditional Ukrainian decorated eggs also spoke to those fears. The complex and detailed patterns were believed to offer protection against evil.Egg painting art, dating back to 300 B.C., was later absorbed into the Christian church. The old symbols, however, still survive. A decorated egg with a bird on it, given to a young married couple, is a wish for children.A decorated egg thrown into the field would be a wish for a good harvest.28. What do we learn about the decorated “eggs” in RussiaA. They are shaped like jewel cases.B. They are heavily painted in red.C. They are favored as a form of art.D. They are valued by the rich.29. Why have contemporary artists continued the tradition of egg paintingA. Because eggs serve as a symbol of the coming of spring.B. Because eggs provide a source of protein in winter’s end.C. Because eggs provide a unique surface to paint on.D. Because eggs reflect the anxieties of people today.30. Which of the following best explains “vulnerability” underlined in paragraph 5A. Delicateness.B. Technique.C. Fear.D. Anxiety.31. What is the main idea of the textA. Egg painting art preserves traditional and popular symbols.B. Different cultures have different ways of honoring the egg.C. Ukrainian egg painting art appeals to contemporary artists.D. Egg painting art continues and develops in pace with time.DImagine you enter a car with no steering wheel, no brake or accelerator pedals (踏板). Under a voice-activated command, you say an address. “The fastest route will take us 15.3 minutes. Should I take it ” You say “yes” and you are on your way. The car responds and starts moving all by itself. All you have to do is to sit back and relax.How strange would it be if, one day in the future, everyone had such a car No crazy driving, no quarrels, no cutting in; traffic laws would be respected and driving much safer. On the other hand, imagine the cost savings for local police enforcement (强制执行) and town budgets without all those speeding and parking tickets.A new technology has the potential to change modern society thoroughly. There’s no question that self-driving vehicles could be anenormous benefit. The potential for safer cars means accident statistics would drop: some 94% of road accidents in the U.S. involve human error. Older drivers and visually-or physically-disabled people would gain a new level of freedom. Maintaining safe speeds and being electric, self-driving cars would sharply reduce pollution levels and dependency on non-renewable fuels. Roads would be quieter, people safer.But we must also consider the impact of the new technology on those who now depend on driving for their living. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, in May 2015 there were 505,560 registered school bus drivers. The American Trucking Association lists approximately 3.5 million professional truck drivers in the U.S. The companies developing self-driving vehicles should be partnering with state and federal authorities to offer retraining for this massive workforce, many of whom will be displaced by the new technology.New technologies will, and should, be developed. This is how society moves forward. However, progress can’t be one-sided. It is necessary for the companies and state agencies involved to consider the moral consequences of these potential changes to build a better future for all.32. What would be the effect of the wide use of driverless carsA. More policemen would inspect the streets.B. People would never feel angry about the traffic.C. It would save local governments a lot of money.D. Traffic regulations would be a thing of the past.33. How would the elderly and the disabled benefit from driverless carsA. They would get rid of air pollution.B. They could enjoy greater mobility.C. They would suffer no road accidents.D. They could go anywhere they want.34. What would be the negative effect of driverless carsA. The conflict between labor and management would sharpen.B. Many drivers would have to find new ways of earning a living.C. Drivers would have a hard time adapting to new road conditions.D. The gap between various departments of society would be widened.35. What does the author suggest businesses and the government doA. Enable everyone to benefit from new technologies.B. Keep pace with technological developments.C. Make new technologies affordable to everyone.D. Popularize the use of new technologies and devices.第二节(共5小题:每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, used one word that best fits each blank.American researchers say they have invented a method that could use salty water on Mars to produce oxygen and fuel, (21) ______ would both be important elements to support future human exploration activities on the Red Planet.Engineers at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, developed the new method. They created a machine called an electrolyzer. It can separate salty water into oxygen and hydrogen gases.The team described the process in a study recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). Scientists have already collected solid evidence suggesting Mars once had huge amounts of water and (22) ______the planet likely holds a large supply today. But Mars is extremely cold. So, most of the water is thought to exist in the form of ice.The research team notes that any water that is not frozen is almost surely full of salt from the Martian soil. The usual methods for breaking water down into oxygen require the salt (23) ______(remove) first. This process can be complex, costly and harmful to the environment. The new method they invented (24) ______take salty water directly and convert it into oxygen and hydrogen.The team carried out experiments with high levels of magnesium salts, which scientists believe likely (25) ______(exist) on Mars. The researchers also carried out the tests at temperatures similar to the Red Planet's atmosphere.The U.S. space agency NASA has also experimented with technologies to produce oxygen on Mars. One device (26) ______(design) to do this will be tested as part of NASA's Perseverance mission. Perseverance is a new explorer vehicle, or rover, that is currently on its way to Mars.The engineering team said its method could even find valuable uses on Earth. "(27) ______ (demonstrate) these electrolyzers under demanding Martian conditions, we intend to also use them under (28) ______(mild) conditions on Earth," said Pralay Gayen, who is a postdoctoral researcher at Washington University and a lead writer of the study. "(29) ______ such use could be in defense industries, he added, "the method could create oxygen on demand for submarines.It may also be able to provide oxygen for researchers (30) ______(explore) new environments in the deep sea."Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only beBritish cuisine (烹饪)has developed quickly in recent years as chefs (厨师)combine the best of old and new. Why does British food have a(n) (31) ______ for being so bad? Because it is bad! Those are not the most (32) ______ words to hear just before eating lunch at one of the smartest British restaurants, Alfie's, but head chef Neil Tomes has more to say."The past 15 years or so have been a noticeable period of improvement for food in England, the English chef says, citing the (33) ______ in British cuisine for better ingredients, preparation and cooking methods, and more (34) ______ presentation. Chef such as Delia Smith, Nigel Slater, Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay made the public realize that cooking and eating didn't have to be a boring thing. "It's no longer the case that the common man in England is (35) ______ to show he knows about food,“Tomes says.There was plenty of room for improvement. The problems with the nation's cuisine can be (36) ______ back to the Second World War. Before the war, much of Britain's food was imported and when German U-boats began attacking ships bringing food to the country, Britain went on rations (配给)."As rationing came to an end in the 1950s, technology picked up and was used to (37) ______ food," Tomes says. "And by then people were just happy to have a decent quantity of food in their kitchens.They weren't looking for cured meats, organic produce or beautiful presentation; they were looking for whatever they could get their hands on, and this (38) ______ for quantity to quality was popular for decades, meaning a generation was brought up with food that couldn't (39) ______ with neighboring France, Italy, Belgium or Spain.Before star chefs such as Oliver began making cooking fashionable, it was hard to find a restaurant in London that was open after 9 p.m. But in recent years the capital's culincvy (烹饪的)scene has developed to the point that it is now confident of its ability to (40)______ the tastes of any international visitor.III. Reading Comprehension ( 45 分)Section A (每题1分,共15分)Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.There are many differences between American homes and traditional Chinese homes. Let's begin with the houses themselves. An American house usually has a yard, large or small. It mayhave a hedge (树篱),(41) ______ rarely is there a wall so high that a passer-by cannot see the windows. Usually the interior is shielded from exterior view only by window curtains or blinds.However, the image of a traditional Chinese house is one within four high walls. This is still (42) ______ in many places in the north of China today. The walls are often so high that only the roofs are (43) ______ from the outside. Solid gates separate the interior grounds from the outside world. In addition, there is usually a wall placed directly in front of the gates. It is believed that this shadow wall keeps the home from direct exposure to the unseen spirits when the gates are open.Inside the home, the contrast between China and America is (44) ______ . The emphasis within an American home is on (45)______ . There are not only doors to the bathrooms but also to the bedrooms, and often to the living room and even the kitchen. Space and possessions are (46) ______ . Parents have little liberty in the rooms of the children, and children cannot do what they want in those parts of the house regarded as pre-eminently their parents’ domain. In some American families, this rule of privacy (47)______ even to the husband and wife, so that each has a separate bedroom.Within the Chinese home, (48)______ , privacy hardly exists at all, except between members of opposite sexes who are not husband and wife. Chinese children, even in homes that have enough room, often share the same rooms with their parents until they reach adolescence. Not only do parents have freedom of action with the children's (49)______ , but the youngsters can also use the possessions of the parents if they can get their hands on them. If children damage their parents' possessions they are scolded, not because they touched things that were not theirs but because they are too young to handle them with proper care.The (50) ______ of privacy within the Chinese home finds its extreme expression in many well-to-do families of North China. Here the rooms are arranged in rows like the cars of a train. But instead of each room having a separate entrance, all the rooms are arranged in sequence, one leading into another. Thus, if there are five rooms, the front door of the house opens into the center room, which serves as the kitchen and dining room. There are two doors on opposite walls of the kitchen, each leading into a room which has (51)______ another door opening into the end rooms. Actual arrangements vary somewhat from family to family, but this simplified picture is (52) ______ true.Such an arrangement in living quarters would be very (53) ______ to Americans. But many Chinese adhere (坚守)a variation of the common linear arrangement even when they have more rooms and space in which to spread out. For in traditional Chinese culture the space within the four walls was considered as being one body. The American child's (54) ______ environment establishes strong lines of individual distinction within the home, but there is very little stress on separation of the home from the external world. The Chinese child's environment is exactly the opposite. He finds a home with (55) ______ cutting lines within it but separated by high walls and the strong gates from the outside world.41.

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)Over the past several decades, the U.S., Canada and Europe have received a great deal of media and even research attention over unusual phenomena and unsolved mysteries. These include UFOs as well as sightings and encounters with "nonhuman creatures”, such as Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster. Only recently has Latin America begun to receive some attention as well. Although the mysteries of the Aztec, Mayan, and Inca civilizations have been known for centuries, now the public is also becoming aware of unusual phenomena in countries such as Peru.The Nazca "lines" of Peru were discovered in the 1930s. These lines are deeply carved into a flat, stony plain, and form about 300 intricate (精美的)pictures of animals such as birds, a monkey, and a lizard. Seen at ground level, the designs are a senseless mess. The images are so large that they can only be viewed at a height of 1,000 feet 一meaning from an aircraft. Yet there were no aircraft in 300 B.C., when it is judged the designs were made. Nor were there then, or are there now, any nearby mountain ranges from which to view them. So how and why did the native people of Nazca create these marvelous designs? One answer appeared in 1969, when the German researcher and writer Erich von Daniken proposed that the lines were drawn by E.T.(外星人)as runways for their aircraft. The scientific community did not take long to laugh at and abandon von Daniken's theory. Over the years several other theories have been put forth, but none has been accepted by the scientific community.Today there is a new and heightened interest in the Nazca lines. It is a direct result of the creation of the internet.

C, $1,442. D. $1,332.(C)After World War II the glorification of an ever-larger GNP formed the basis of a new materialism, which became a holy obligation for all Japanese governments, businesses and trade unions. Anyone who mentioned the undesirable by-products of rapid economic growth was treated as a heretic (异教徒).Consequently, everything possible was done to make conditions easy for the manufacturers. Few dared to question the wisdom of dumping untreated waste into the nearest water body or untreated smoke into the atmosphere. This silence was maintained by union leaders as well as by most of the country’s radicals (激进分子);except for a few isolated voices, no one protested. An insistence on treatment of the various effluents, or liquid waste, would have resulted in expenditures on treatment equipment that in turn would have given rise to higher operating costs. Obviously, this would have meant higher prices for Japanese goods, and ultimately fewer sales and lower industrial growth and GNP.The pursuit of nothing but economic growth is illustrated by the response of the Japanese government to the American educational mission that visited Japan in 1947. After surveying Japan's educational program, the Americans suggested that the Japanese fill in their curriculum gap by creating departments in chemical and sanitary engineering. Immediately, chemical engineering departments were established in all of the country's universities and technical institutions. In contrast, the recommendation to form sanitary engineering departments was more or less ignored, because they could bring no profit. By 1960, only two second-rate universities, Kyoto and Hokkaido, were interested enough to open such departments.The reluctance to switch funds from production to conservation is explanation enough for a certain degree of pollution, but the situation was made worse by the type of technology the Japanese chose to adopt for their industrial expansion. For the most part, they simply copied American industrial methods. This meant that methods originally designed for use in a country that stretched from the Atlantic to the Pacific with lots of air and water to use as sewage receptacles (下水道)were adopted for an area a fraction of the size. Moreover, the Japanese diet was much more dependent on water as a source of fish and as an input in the irrigation of rice; consequently discharged wastes built up much more rapidly in the food chain.63.Which of the following words is closest in meaning to "glorification" (Para. 1)?A. worshipB. objectionC. criticismD. ignorance64 According to the passage, there were no measures in environmental protection after World War II in Japan because______.A.they were regarded as unnecessaryB.no one was much interested in themC.pollution was held as inevitable at that timeD.they would hold back economic development65.According to the logical clue of the passage, the second paragraph is an example to show that ______.A.Japan was markedly influenced by the U.S. in educationcation in Japan was not so developed as that in the U.S.C.the Japanese government concerned itself only about economic gainsD.Japanese educational institutions were much the same as those in the U.S.66.Which of the following is not a reason for the rapidity and intensity of pollution in Japan?A.The Japanese diet increased the waste in their food chain.B.The Japanese industrial revolution was generally modeled on that of America.C.No sanitary engineering departments were set up in higher institutions in Japan.D.Japan was unwilling to provide funds for the solution of environmental problems.Section C ( 8 分)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.How good are you at saying "no”? For many, ifs surprisingly difficult. (67) ______ Consider these scenarios:It's late in the day. That front-page package you've been working on is nearly complete; one last edit and it's finished. Then enter the executive editor, who makes a suggestion requiring a more-than-modest rearrangement of the design and the addition of an information box. You want to scream: "No! It's done!" What do you do?The first rule of saying no to the boss is "don't say no." (68) ______The second rule is "don't raise the stakes by challenging his authority." That issue is already decided. The third rule is "to be ready to cite options and consequences.The boss's suggestions might be appropriate, but there are always consequences. He might not know about the pages backing up that need attention, or about the designer who had to go home sick. Tell him he can have what he wants, but explain the consequences. Understand what he's trying to accomplish and propose a Plan B that will make ithappen without destroying what you've done so far.Here's another case. Your least-favorite reporter suggests a dumb story idea. (69) ______If you say no, even politely, you risk inhibiting further ideas, not just from that reporter, but from others who heard that you turned down the idea. This scenario is common in newsrooms that lack a systematic way to filter story suggestions.Two steps are necessary. First, you need a system for how stories are proposed and reviewed. Reporters can tolerate rejection of their ideas if they believe they were given a fair hearing. Your gut reaction and dismissive rejection, even of a worthless idea, might not qualify as systematic or fair.Second, the people you work with need to negotiate a "What if...?" agreement covering “What if my idea is turned down?”How are people expected to react? Is there an appeal process? Can they refine the idea and resubmit it? (70) ______.第II卷(共50分)IV. Summary Writing (10 分)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.71.Things to Do After You StudyMany students study with little thought about what comes after their study session. But what you do after studying could have an effect on how well you learn and remember new information. Actually, there are two no-cost ways that can help you improve your learning: wakeful rest and sleep.When many students finish studying, they often go straight to another activity. Perhaps they look at their phone or computer. They might even play a video game or watch television. But research suggests that resting after you study may help you remember what you studied.The basic idea is this: by reducing your activity after the study session, your brain gets a chance to rest. Resting is difficult when you have too much stimulation from electronic devices, games, lights and so on. Many studies have explored the benefits of resting after learning 一what is called "wakeful rest." A 2019 study found that both young and older adults were able to better remember, or recollect, information from prose passages after doing wakeful rest. The findings appeared in Neuroscience Letters. If you want to give "wakeful rest" a try, here are a few simple things to do: Rest quietly for five to ten minutes. Do not look at your phone, read stories or play games. Just limit the amount of stimulation you get. It is really that easy!In addition to wakeful rest, sleep is also important for learning. The Division of Sleep Medicine at Harvard Medical School notes that sleep helps people to learn. A report on the school's website explains that "a sleep-deprived person cannot focus attention optimally and therefore cannot learn efficiently." It also says, "sleep itself has a role in the consolidation (巩固)of memory, which is essential for learning new information.Now you have two suggestions for how to learn new information. Try to get some "wakeful rest" afte r a study session. Then try to get a good night’s sleep. That's it-- a simple, no-cost way to help you remember what you learn.V.Translation (3+3+4+5,共15 分)Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.对父母来说,最重要的是孩子每天平安归来。

Reading Comprehension. (2 points for each, altogether 20 points) Directions: There are 2 passages followed by questions. Beneath each question there are four choices respectively marked by letters A, B, C and D. Choose the right answer for each question. Write your answers on the answer sheet.Passage One Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.In cities with rent control, the city government sets the maximum rent that a landlord can zcharge for an apartment. Supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are living in apartments. Their rent cannot increase; therefore, they are not in danger of losing their homes. However, the critics say that after a long time, rent control may have negative effects. Landlords know that they cannot increase their profits. Therefore, they invest in other businesses where they can increase their profits. They do not invest in new buildings which would also be rent-controlled. As a result, new apartments are not built. Many people who need apartments cannot find any. According to the critics, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments in the city.Some theorists argue that the minimum wage law can cause problems in the same way. The federal government sets the minimum that an employer must pay workers. The minimum helps people who generally look for unskilled, low-paying jobs. However, if the minimum is high, employers may hire fewer workers. They will replace workers with machinery. The price, which is the wage that employers must pay, increases. Therefore, other things being equal, the number of workers that employers want decreases. Thus, critics claim, an increase in the minimum wage may cause unemployment. Some poor people may find themselves without jobs instead of with jobs at the minimum wage.Supporters of the minimum wage say that it helps people keep their dignity. Because of the law, workers cannot sell their services for less than the minimum. Furthermore, employers cannot force workers to accept jobs at unfair wages.Economic theory predicts the results of economic decisions such as decisions about farm production, rent control, and the minimum wage. The predictions may be correct only if “other things are equa l”. Economists do not agree on some of the predictions. They also do not agree on the value of different decisions. Some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it. Economists do agree, however, that there are no simple answers to economic questions.31. There is the possibility that setting maximum rent may .[A]cause a shortage of apartments[B]worry those who rent apartments as homes[C]increase the profits of landlords[D]encourage landlords to invest in building apartment32. According to the critics, rent control[A]will always benefit those who rent apartments[B]is unnecessary[C]will bring negative effects in the long run[D]is necessary under all circumstances33. The problem of unemployment will arise[A]if the minimum wage is set too high[B]if the minimum wage is set too low[C]if the workers are unskilled[D]if the maximum wage is set34. The passage tells u s[A]the relationship between supply and demand[B]the possible results of government controls[C]the necessity of government controlz[D]the urgency of getting rid of government controls35. Which of the following statements is NOT true?[A]The results of economic decisions can not always be predicted.[B]Minimum wage can not always protect employees.[C]Economic theory can predict the results of economic decisions if other factors are not changing.[D]Economic decisions should not be based on economic theory.Passage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Social customs and ways of behaving change. Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behavior for a man to smoke on street. No man who thought of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room.Customs also differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesn't it matter? Should you use both hands when you are eating? Should leave one in your lap, or on the table?The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also, most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman, and so will most Americans. Promptness is important both in England and in America. That is , if a dinner invitation is for 7 o'clock , the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay.The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable-----especially if they are your guests. When the food was served , one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife . The other guests were amused or shocked, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.36. If one has accepted a dinner invitation, what should he do if he is late for the dinner?[A]. He should find an excuse[B]. He should ask for excuse.[C]. He should say sorry[D].He should telephone to explain his being late.37."It would have been bad manners to make his guests feel foolish or uncomfortable." "Bad manners " means ________.[A] ugly[B] dishonest[C] impolite [D] shameful38. Which of the following do you think is the best title for this passage? .[A] Social Customs and Customs [B] Social Life[C] American and British Customs [D] Promptness Is Important39. According to the text, the best host_______.[A]. tries his best to make his guests feel comfortable[B]. makes his guests feel excited[C]. tries to avoid being naughty to his guests[D]. tries to avoid being foolishz40.The author of this article may agree with which of the following?[A].
