Part III Reading Comprehension (55 minutes，40 points)
Directions：There are four passages in this part．Each of the passages is followed by five questions or unfinished statements．For each of them there are four choices marked A，B, C and D．Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center．
Passage One
In ancient Greek, the term euthanatos meant “easy death”. Today euthanasia (安乐死) generally refers to mercy killing，the voluntary (自愿) ending of the life of someone who is terminally ill．Like abortion，euthanasia has become a legal，medical，and moral issue over which opinion is divided．
Euthanasia can be either active or passive．Active euthanasia means that a physician or other medical personnel takes an action that will result in death，such as giving an overdose of deadly medicine．Passive euthanasia means letting a patient die for lack of treatment，or stopping the treatment that has begun．Examples of passive euthanasia include taking patients off a breathing machine or removing other life-support systems．Stopping the food supply is also considered passive．
A good deal of the debate about mercy killing originates from the decision-making process．Who decides whether a patient is to die? This issue has not been solved legally in the United States．The matter is left to state law, which usually allows the physician in charge to suggest the option of death to a patient’s relatives，especially if the patient is brain dead．In an attempt to make decisions about when their own lives should end, several terminally ill patients in the early 1990s used a controversial suicide device，developed by Dr. Jack Kevorkian, to end their lives.
In parts of Europe, the decision-making process has become very flexible．Even in cases where the patients are not brain dead，patients have been put to death without their approval at the request of relatives or at the suggestion of physicians．Many cases of passive euthanasia involve old people or newborn infants. The principle justifying this practice is that such individuals have a “life not worthy of life”.
In countries where passive euthanasia is not legal, the court systems have proved very tolerant in dealing with medical personnel who practice it．In Japan, for example, if physicians follow certain guidelines they may actively carry out mercy killings on hopelessly ill people. Courts have also been somewhat tolerant of friends or relatives who have assisted terminally ill patients to die．
36．A terminally ill patient is one who .
A．gets worse every day B．can never get well again
C．is very seriously ill in the end D．is too ill to want to live on
37．The difference between active and passive euthanasia is whether .
A．there is an action that speeds up the death of the patient
B．the breathing machine is taken off the patient
C．an overdose of deadly medicine is used
D．the patient is denied food supply
38．According to the passage，who has/have the legal responsibility to decide on euthanasia?
A．The national or state government．
B．The patient’s relatives．
C．Physicians in charge of the patient．
D．The answer varies from country to country．
39．The principle justifying passive euthanasia in Europe is that terminally ill patients are .
A．living a life without consciousness
B．living a life that can hardly be called life
C．too old or too weak to live on
D．too old or too young to approve of euthanasia
40．The attitude of the writer toward euthanasia is .
A．negative B．positive C．objective D．casual
Passage Two
Next week, as millions of families gather for their Thanksgiving (感恩节) feasts，many other Americans will go without．According to the United States Department of Agriculture，more than 12 million households lack enough food for everyone in their family at some time during the year—including holidays．Hunger is surprisingly widespread in our country—one of the world’s wealthiest—yet the government estimates that we waste almost 100 billion pounds of food each year，more than one-quarter of our total supply．Reducing this improper distribution of resources is a goal of America’s Second Harvest，the nation’s largest domestic hunger-relief organization．Last year，it distributed nearly 2 billion pounds of food to more than 23 million people in need．
America’s Second Harvest is a network of 214 inter-connected food banks and other organizations that gather food from growers，processors，grocery stores and restaurants．In turn，the network distributes food to some 50，000 soup kitchens，homeless shelters and old people’s centers in every county of every state.
A great deal of work is involved in distributing tons of food from thousands of donors (捐赠者) to hundreds of small, nonprofit organizations．Until a few years ago，America’s Second Harvest lacked any effective way to manage their inventory．Without accurate and timely information，soup kitchens were sometimes empty while food was left to spoil in loading places．
In 2000, America’s Second Harvest began to use a new inventory and financial-management system—Ceres．It is software designed specifically for hunger-relief operations．It is used by more than 100 America’s Second Harvest organizations to track food from donation to distribution．
Ceres has helped reduce the spoiling of food and improve distribution．An evaluation found that the software streamlined food banks’ operations by 23 percent in the first year alone．
With more accurate and timely reports，Ceres saves time，flees staff members to focus on finding new donors，and promises more efficient use of donations.
Hunger in America remains a troubling social problem．Technology alone cannot solve it．But in the hands of organizations such as America’s Second Harvest, it is a powerful tool that is helping to make a difference—and helping more Americans to join in the feast．
41．According to the passage，the total supply of food in America every year reaches .
A．12 million pounds B．more than 12 million pounds
C．almost 100 billion pounds D．about 400 billion pounds
42．By “this improper distribution of resources” in Paragraph 3，the writer means that many Americans lack enough food while .
A．their country is one of the richest in the world
B．much food is left to spoil
C．others waste too much food
D．others consume too much food
43．A problem for America’s Second Harvest a few years ago was that ．
A．it did not get enough food from donors
B．it did not have a large enough network
C．it did not have enough soup kitchens
D．it did not have a good way to manage its food stock
44．With Ceres，America’s Second Harvest is now able to ．
A．enlarge its network
B．prevent food from spoiling
C．give out food more efficiently
D．solve the hunger problem in the country
45．The main idea of the passage is that .
A．technology can help in the fight against hunger
B．America’s Second Harvest has found more donors
C．America’s Second Harvest promotes the development of technology
D．hunger is a problem even in the wealthiest country in the world
Passage Three
The differences in living standards around the world are vast．In 1993, the average American had an income of about $25,000．In the same year，the average Mexican earned $7,000，and the average Nigerian earned $l,500．Not surprisingly，this large variation in average income is reflected in various measures of the quality of life．Changes in living standards over time are also large．In the United States，incomes have historically grown about 2 percent per year (after adjusting for changes in the cost of living)．At this rate，average income doubles every 35 years．In some countries，economic growth has been even more rapid．In Japan，for instance，average income has doubled in the past 20 years，and in South Korea it has doubled in the past 10 years．What explains these large differences in living standards among countries and over time? The answer is surprisingly simple．Almost all variation in living standards is attributable to differences in countries’ productivity —that is，the amount of goods and services produced from each hour of a worker’s time．In nations where workers can produce a large quantity of goods and services per unit of time，most people enjoy a high standard of living；in nations where workers are less productive，most people must endure a more meager existence．Similarly，the growth rate of a nation’s productivity determines the growth rate of its average income．
The fundamental relationship between productivity and living standards is simple, but its implications are
far-reaching．If productivity is the primary determinant of living standards，other explanations must be of secondary importance．For example，people might think that labor unions or minimum-wage laws contributed to the rise in living standards of American workers over the past century．Yet the real hero of American workers is their rising productivity．
The relationship between productivity and living standards also has great implications for public policy．When thinking about how any policy will affect living standards，the key question is how it will affect our ability to produce goods and services．To improve living standards，policymakers need to raise productivity by ensuring that workers are well educated，have the tools needed to produce goods and services，and have access to the best available technology．
46．Which of the following countries has enjoyed the fastest economic growth in history?
A．Mexico．B．The United States．
C．Japan．D．South Korea．
47．The word“meager”in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to “”.
A．modest B．poor C．meaningless D．plentiful
48．What is the most important factor that leads to the rise in living standards of average people?
A．Labor unions．B．Minimum-wage laws．
C．Rising productivity．D．Favorable public policy．
49．The study of the relationship between productivity and living standards is significant in that ．A．it calls policymakers’ attention to a qualified work force
B．it encourages workers to get better education
C．it helps improve the workers’ ability to produce goods and services
D．it enables policymakers to access the latest technology
50．The passage mainly discusses .
A．the differences in average income among countries
B．the relationship between productivity and living standards
C．the causes of the rise in living standards
D．the importance of raising productivity
Passage Four
Not so long ago almost any student who successfully completed a university degree could find a good career quite easily．Companies toured the academic institutions，competing with each other to select graduates．However，those days are gone，even in Hong Kong，and nowadays graduates often face strong competition in the search for jobs．
Most careers organizations highlight three stages for graduates to follow in the process of securing a suitable career：recognizing abilities，matching these to available jobs and presenting them well to possible employers．Job seekers have to make a careful assessment of their own abilities．One area of assessment should be of their academic qualifications，which would include special skills within their subject area．Graduates should also consider their own personal values and attitudes．An honest assessment of personal interests and abilities such as creative skills，or skills acquired from work experience，should also be given careful thought．The second stage is to study the opportunities available for employment and to think about how the general employment situation is likely to develop in the future．To do this，graduates can study job and position information in newspapers，or they can visit a careers office．write to possible employers for information or contact friends or relatives who may already be involved in a particular profession．After studying all the various options，they should be in a position to make informed comparisons between various careers．Good personal presentation is essential in the search for a good career. Job application forms and letters should，of course，be filled in carefully and correctly，without grammar or spelling errors．Where additional information is asked for，job seekers should describe their abilities and work experience in more depth，with examples if possible．They should try to balance their own abilities with the employer’s needs，explain why they are interested in a career with the particular company and try to show that they already know something about the company and its activities．
When graduates go to an interview，they should prepare properly by finding out all they can about the possible employer．Dressing suitably and arriving for the interview on time are also important．Interviewees should try to give positive and helpful answers and should not be afraid to ask questions about anything they are unsure about．This is much better than pretending to understand a question and giving an unsuitable answer．
51．“Those days are gone，even in Hong Kong”in Paragraph 1 suggests that ．A．finding a good career used to be easier in Hong Kong than elsewhere
B．now everyone in Hong Kong has an equal chance of finding a good job
C．graduates now face stronger competition in Hong Kong than elsewhere
D．even in Hong Kong companies tour universities trying to select graduates
52．It is implied in Paragraph 3 that graduates should .
A．aim to give a balanced account of what the employer needs
B．consider careers which suit their values，interests and abilities
C．recognize their own abilities regardless of what the employer looks for
D．stress their personal attitudes and values in job applications
53．According to Paragraph 4，graduates should ．
A．find a good position and then compare it with other careers
B．ask friends or relatives to secure them a good job
C．get information about a number of careers before making comparisons
D．study the opportunities and the kinds of training that will be available
54．In the last paragraph，the writer seems to suggest that ．
A．interviewees should appear humble if they can’t give an answer
B．dressing properly is more important than being able to give an answer
C．it is better for interviewees to be honest than to pretend to understand
D．it is a good idea for interviewees to be boastful in their answers
55．According to the passage，which of the following is NOT true?
A．Until recently it was quite easy for graduates to get good jobs in Hong Kong．
B．Job seekers should consider as many related factors as possible．
C．Businesses used to visit the universities in Hong Kong to select graduates．
D．Graduates used to compete with each other for a good job in Hong Kong．
Part IV Cloze Test (15 minutes，5 points)
Directions：There are ten blanks in the following passage．For each numbered blank there are four choices marked A，B, C and D．Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center．
Adult education is the practice of teaching and educating adults．This is often done in the workplace，or 56 “continuing education” courses at secondary schools, or at a college or university．
Educating adults differs from educating 57 in several ways．One of the most important 58 is that adults have gained knowledge and experience which can 59 add value to a learning experience or interfere with it．
Another important difference is that adults frequently must apply their knowledge in some 60 fashion in order to learn effectively；there must be a 61 and a reasonable expectation that the new knowledge will help them further that goal．One example，62 in the 1990s，was the spread of computer training courses in 63 adults，most of them office workers，could enroll．These courses would teach basic use of the operating system or specific application 64 ．Because the skills 65 to interact with a PC were so new，many people who had been working white-collar jobs for ten years or more eventually took such training courses，either of their own will(to gain computer skills and thus can higher pay)or at the request of their managers．
56．A．by B．from C．on D．through
57．A．children B．students C．workers D．employees
58．A．signs B．features C．differences D．practices
59．A．either B．neither C．both D．so
60．A．probable B．practical C．modern D．routine
61．A．plan B．prospect C．goal D．possibility
62．A．normal B．common C．regular D．profitable
63．A．that B．which C．those D．whose
64．A．software B．hardware C．technology D．framework
65．A．related B．designed C．expected D．required

Part V Transl ation (3 0 minutes，l 5 points)
Directions：Translate the following passage into Chinese and put your translation on the ANSWER SHEET One of the really nice features about e-mails is that they allow us to send files as attachments to other users．This is a very good thing．If I’m working with a colleague and want to send him an image file or a word file，I can do so very quickly and easily，without having to fax it to him．This saves on long distance bills and printing costs．It also，however，presents a problem，because attachments can take a long time to download．For those of us who pay by the hour for Internet service，unwanted attachments can be quite costly and
time-consuming．I once had someone send me fifteen large image files，and it tied up my computer for 20 minutes just to download one of them．So，in short，if you’re going to send an attachment，get permission first．

参考范文：
In recent years, the number of college students who live off campus has been increasing, which attracts the widespread attention in the whole society. As to this special phenomenon, different people have different opinions. As a person who was a student, I think this behavior should be banned. My reasons are as follows: The first and the most important one is that living off campus is not beneficial to study. Being college students, young people should spare no effort to study hard to broaden their horizons. Living off campus means they are away from classroom, library and laboratory. So it may bring much more trouble to them. Second, when college students live off campus they will be estranged from their classmates, which is harmful to their ability to communicate with others. Thus, majority of them don’t have good friends so that they are easy to feel lonely and unhappy. Third, their living off campus will put a financial burden on their family and themselves. In general, college students are still financed by their family. If they want to live off campus, they have to ask more money from their family and make money in their spare time. It is a heavy burden they have to shoulder.
In a word, I don’t approve of college students’ living off campus. It will disturb the students’ normal life. Therefore colleges should establish rules to ban college students’ living off campus.

【MBA英语】联考英语（二）真题解析系列16弹 【MBA中国网讯】联考英语（二）真题解析系列16弹： So what does work? Perhaps surprisingly, scheduling regular times for reading. You'd think this might fuel the efficiency mind-set, but in fact, Eberle notes, such ritualistic behaviour helps us “step outside time's flow”into “soul time.”You could limit distractions by reading only physical books, or on single-purpose e-readers. “Carry a book with you at all times”can actually work, too-providing you dip in often enough, so that reading becomes the default state from which you temporarily surface to take care of business, before dropping back down. On a really
good day, it no longer feels as if you're “making time to read,”but just reading, and making time for everything else. 34. “carry a book with you at all times”can work if______ A. reading becomes your primary business of the day B. all the daily business has been promptly dealt with C. you are able to drop back to business after reading D. time can be evenly split for reading and business 参考译文 那什么方法管用呢?也许让人惊讶的是，规定时间阅读。你可能觉得这样做，会使得让时间变得有效的这一思维定式更变本加厉了，但实际上，Eberle提到，养成这种习惯能帮助我们“跳出时间流逝”的思维模式，进入到“灵魂时间”。可以只读实体书，或者只有单一功能的电子阅读器，以避免分心。“随身带书”也真的会有用，只要你经常沉浸其中，阅读就成为了你的默认状态，你可以冒个泡，临时处理一下业务，再继续沉浸其中。在一个美好的一天，就不再觉得是“利用时间阅读了”，而只有阅读，时间也变得无所不能。 【核心词汇】

Here she picks her top reads. Matilda Roald Dahl I once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl’s writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful words. Matilda’s battles with her cruel me parents and the bossy headmisres，Miss Trunchbull，are equally fumy and frightening，but they’re also aspirational. After Dark Haruki Murakami It’s about two sisters-Eri，a model who either won’t or can’t stop sleeping，and Mari, a young student . In trying to connect to her sister. Mari starts changing her life and discovers a world of diverse ”night people” who are hiding secrets. Gone Girl Gillian Fynn There was a bit of me that didn’t want to love this when everyone else on the planet did but the horror story is brilliant. There’s tension and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust.

2018年华侨港澳台联考英语真题分析2018年华侨港澳台港联考于2018年5月20号圆满结束。上海心叶教育英语组对此次考卷进行了系统分析。就考卷难度而言，试卷整体的比去年难度系数降低。注重考查基础知识与语言综合能力的运用，考察的形式较为灵活，体现了英语学科的工具性，交际性和文化性。所选的语篇符合时代的发展和背景，体现了科学命题，与时俱进的特点。题型与往年无异，依次为听力、单选、完形填空、阅读理解、改错、写作共六个答题部分，满分150分，考试时间为2小时。 一、听力： 侧重理解和交际的形式，选材贴近学生的生活。心叶教育一直以来都注重培养学生英语学科的听、说、读、写等全方位的能力。所以在过去将近一年的备考中，心叶教育的学生在不同音效的背景下进行听力训练，例如听过不同语速，不同发音和语调的听力资料，日常教学中，心叶教育的老师师更是潜移默化地增强学生对英美国家社会文化和制度习俗的了解等。所以虽然考场的听力音效不是很好，但是对心叶的学生影响不大，因为平时英语教学设备就刻意选择不是最佳的。 二、单项选择 单项选择，主要考查考生的语法和词汇等基础知识。本次港澳台联考单项选择的考点有：情景交际，定语从句，状语从句，虚拟语气，时态与语态，强调句，非谓语动词，动词mean 用法等。这主要得益于心叶教育的老师们精心编写的教材。这本教材上的知识点安排重点突出，详略得当，能够让学生有条不紊且有的放矢地备考港澳台联考的考点。我们更注重学生的理解和记忆，同时辅以大量的习题、周考、周测、月考等考查形式来巩固。做到讲练结合，及时发现，及时订正错题笔记。所以心叶的学生面对单选题目当然信心十足。 三、完型填空 2018年港澳台联考的完形填空注重考查学生结合词汇、语法、语篇知识、生活常识和文化背景进行逻辑推理和综合判断的能力，在过去一届的备考中，心叶英语组在教学中，一直立足于以记叙文或者夹叙夹议的文体来考查学生的这一能力。例如2018届港澳台联考第三次月考的完形填空是记叙文，2018届港澳台联考的第一次模拟考试的完型填空是夹叙夹议等等。通过这样的训练，我们的学生准确把握题型特点，学习中融会贯通，举一反三，具备了极强的应试技巧，这一题目完成得理想当然不足为奇。 四、阅读理解 心叶教育历来十分重视英语阅读能力的培养。在日常教学中，包括常规的练习，周测，月考，模拟考，我们都是立足于港澳台联考大纲对阅读理解的要求，重点训练应用文，议论文，说明文，记叙文，夹叙夹议文这五大体裁。在此基础上，我们所精心挑选原汁原味的英文语篇，既能够体现英美国家人文、社会、地理、政治经济等方面的现实，又能培养学生对

(10 points) Why do people read negative Internet comments and do other things that will obviously be painful? Because humans have an inherent need to ___1___ uncertainty, according to a recent study in Psychological Science. The new research reveals that the need to know is so strong that people will ___2___ to satisfy their curiosity even when it is clear the answer will___3___. In a series of four experiments, behavioral scientists at the University of Chicago Booth School Of Business and the Wisconsin School of Business tested students' willingness to ___4___ themselves to unpleasant stimuli in an effort to satisfy curiosity. For one ___5___, each participant was shown a pile of pens that the researcher claimed were from a previous experiment. The twist? Half of the pens would ___6___ an electric shock when clicked. Twenty-seven students were told which pens were rigged; another twenty-seven were told only that some were electrified. ___7___ left alone in the room, the students who did not know which ones would shock them clicked more pens and incurred more jolts than the students who knew what would ___8___. Subsequent experiments replicated this effect with other stimuli, ___9___ the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard and photographs of disgusting insects.

Forms will be available in school and online for them to indicate their choices and return to school. Before choices are finalised, parents/ carers will be asked to sign to confirm their children’s choices.

Travel to London B. see a parade and fireworks. C. Tour central Paris. D. Visit the WWI battlefields. 23. How long does Potty about Potter last? A. Two days. B. Four days C. Five days D. One week. B Many of us love July because it’s the month when nature’s berries and stone fruits are in abundance. These colorful and sweet jewels from British Columbia’s fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection. Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein(蛋白质), iron and zinc (not that fruits have much protein). Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants (抗氧化物质). The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into Vitamin A and which are antioxidants. As for cherries(樱桃), they are so delicious who care? However, they are rich in Vitamin C. When combined with berries or slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruits shakes and low fat “ice cream”. For this purpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.
