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]. The guest who ate his peas with a knife[B]. The other guests who were amused or shocked[C].The host who picked up his knife and began eating in the same way[D]. None of the aboveIII.

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.
