Directions: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. (40 points)
20 If comfortably outpacing your rivals is the main measure of automotive achievement, Tesla's electric car is a resounding success. The Model S last year outsold its nearest luxury rival, Mercedes's petrol-engined S-class, by 30% in America. And in its top specification the Tesla will also beat the German car in the race from 0 -60mph. As a battery-maker Tesla is also moving fast. This week it announced plans to build a " gigafactory" in America to make lithium-ion power-packs, that it hopes will propel its vehicles to the mainstream.
Tesla's acceleration has been rapid. Launched a decade ago by Elon Musk, a founder of PayPal and serial tech entrepreneur, last year it sold around 22,000 cars and by the end of 2014 hopes to be making 1,000 a week. In early 2015 Tesla will add the Model X, a medium-sized SUV, to its range. However, Tesla's impressive growth has not yet translated into significant profits. A series of battery fires also briefly dented sales growth last year.
Nevertheless, Tesla's shares surged on February 25th, to value the company at over $30 billion after Morgan Stanley, a bank, joined its adoring fans. It reckons that the battery factory will not only propel it along the road to mass manufacturing but also make it a leading competitor in low-cost energy storage, the key to making renewable energy more practical. The bank is also confident that Tesla's Silicon Valley location will put it in the driverless front seat of autonomous motoring. A recent meeting with Apple, and the iPad-like control panel of the Model S, have convinced some observers that a takeover and an iCar are around the corner, although Mr. Musk insists that his firm is not for sale.
Tesla has defied its doubters with the success of the Model S, a smartly styled luxury car. It may not share the outrageous looks of a supercar like the Lamborghini Aventador, but it has the performance without the $400,000-plus price tag. The most basic Model S
costs $64,000 in America. This has won it rave reviews in the motoring press, often sniffy about other electric cars with limited ranges and duff looks. By designing a large car with a big battery pack, Tesla has diminished "range anxiety"—one version can do 310 miles(500 km)between charges.
21 According to the first paragraph, Tesla is ______.
（A）a luxury car brand that beats all its rivals
（B）a car-maker that aims at high-end customers
（C）a battery-maker that has become mainstream
（D）an electric car brand that also produces battery
22 It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that______.
（A）Tesla's electric car will become mainstream in the market
（B）Tesla will make a great fortune in 2015 thanks to its new model
（C）it may take a while for Tesla to recover from the battery accidents
（D）Tesla pursues environmentally-friendly cars rather than huge profits
23 According to Paragraph 3, some observers believe that______.
（A）Tesla's founder will not sell his company
（B）Apple may take Tesla over in the near future
（C）Tesla and Apple may cooperate and develop iCar
（D）Tesla will be the leading corporation of driverless cars
24 Which one of the following is true about Tesla's Model S?
（A）It has duff looks and limited range.
（B）It looks as impressive as other super cars.
（C）It is not worth spending so much money on it.
（D）It has changed people's view towards electric cars.
25 The most appropriate title for this text is______.
（A）Tesla: Electric Car That Makes A Hit
（B）Electric Car: Where Is the Future?
（C）Tesla: Will the Takeover Come Soon?
（D）Tesla: Rapid Growth But No Profits
25 On a cold, blustery morning at Canary Wharf, London's second financial district, eating outside does not seem appealing. Yet on a solitary concrete quay, suited workers huddle around picnic benches. Half a dozen food stalls line the water's edge. One sells Thai food out of a rickshaw, another salted pork buns from a converted horse box. Everything on offer is about ￡6($ 10). Such is the latest in Britain's culinary evolution. Street dining is hardly new. Kebab vans in university towns serve oily gunk to sozzled students: on weekends in London, grizzled men hawk frankfurters outside Tube stations. But until recently smarter nosh was mostiy available only in restaurants. Now most big cities have at least one regular street food event, as a London fashion has spread out.
Britain's faltering economy is part of the explanation. " In a recession, people go into food businesses" , says Mark Laurie of NCASS, a trade association for caterers. Setting up a street food stall takes little capital or specialist knowledge. At Canary Wharf, the traders include a former architect and a bank worker, as well as restaurateurs. Demand is increasing, too, as pinched customers trade down from restaurants.
Yet the biggest driver of outdoor eating is officialdom. Local authorities and commercial property developers see street stalls as a means of quickly gingering up struggling high streets and sterile plazas. The Canary Wharf Group does not charge for the use of its land by the cluster of street vendors. Alistair Turnham, who runs Stock Mkt, a similar outfit, says some councils will even pay his firm to run events. Street food vendors thus avoid paying heavy rents or business rates—which helps them to undercut restaurants.
Still, the distinction between indoor and outdoor food is blurring. The Marriot, an upmarket hotel in Mayfair, recently put on a street food-inspired menu. Trinity Leeds, a new shopping centre in Yorkshire, hosts rolling street food traders as part of its food hall. Some successful street food vendors are setting up restaurants—few want to work out of vans forever. Others are moving into catering for private events. The market economy is triumphing.
26 The description of the first paragraph is to______.
（A）prove the importance of food
（B）introduce the discussion of food
（C）introduce the topic of street dining
（D）show the busy scene of London life
27 It can be learned that street dining______.
（A）is strange to most Londoners
（B）has become common in London
（C）first appeared in university towns
（D）has become a trend in most cities
28 During economic depression, people enter the street food business because
（A）they have nothing else to do
（B）it needs no capital and other costs
（C）they know nothing about other fields
（D）it requires little fund and expert knowledge
29 Street vendors have earned support from all of the following except______.
（A）hotels and restaurants
（B）large enterprise groups
（C）local councils and officials
（D）commercial property developers
30 The author's attitude towards street food seems to be______.
（A）indifferent
（B）prejudiced
（C）objective
（D）supportive
30 Between 1998 and 2013 , the Earth's surface temperature rose at a rate of 0. 04°C a decade, far slower than the 0. 18°C increase in the 1990s. Meanwhile, emissions of carbon dioxide rose continuously. This pause in warming has raised doubts in the public mind about climate change. A few sceptics say flatly that global warming has stopped. Others argue that scientists' understanding of the climate is so flawed that their judgments about it cannot be accepted with any confidence. A convincing explanation of the pause therefore matters both to a proper understanding of the climate and to the credibility of climate science—and papers published over the past few weeks do their best to provide one. As evidence piled up that temperatures were not rising much, some scientists dismissed it as a temporary phenomenon. The temperature, they pointed out, had fallen for much longer periods twice in the past century or so, in 1880- 1910 and again in 1945-75, even though the general trend was up. Variability is part of the climate system and a 15-year pause, they suggested, was not worth getting excited about. An alternative way of looking at the pause's significance was to say that there had been a slowdown but not a big one. Most records, including one of the best known, do not include measurements from the Arctic, which has been warming faster than anywhere else in the world. Using satellite data to fill in the missing Arctic numbers, Kevin Cowtan of the University of York, in Britain, and Robert Way of the University of Ottawa, in Canada, put the overall rate of global warming at 0. 12°C a decade between 1998 and 2012. A study by NASA
puts the "Arctic effect" over the same period somewhat lower, at 0.07°C a decade, but that is still not negligible. It is also worth remembering that average warming is not the only measure of climate change. According to a study just published by Sonia Seneviratne of the Institute for Atmospheric and Climate Science, in Zurich, the number of hot days, the number of extremely hot days and the length of warm periods all increased during the pause. A more stable average temperature hides wider extremes. Still, attempts to explain away that stable average have not been convincing, partly because of the conflict between flat temperatures and rising CO2 emissions, and partly because observed temperatures are now falling outside the range climate models predict. The models embody the state of climate knowledge. If they are wrong, the knowledge is probably faulty, too. Hence attempts to explain the pause.
31 According to the first paragraph, the pause of global warming has______.
（A）caused panic in the public
（B）been ignored by the public
（C）been explained by some scientists
（D）aroused suspicion and controversy
32 In the second paragraph, some scientists suggest that______.
（A）climate is changeable and the pause is common
（B）climate change is not worth receiving our concern
（C）climate science is more complicated than you think
（D）the temperatures in the past 15 years haven't risen much
33 The data of global warming from Kevin Cowtan and Robert Way is higher because______.
（A）their theory is unconventional
（B）they take the Arctic into account
（C）their measuring method is different
（D）they neglect some important statistics
34 Sonia Seneviratne's study suggests that______.
（A）Zurich is too warm to live
（B）the pause may be a delusion
（C）extreme climate will come soon
（D）there will be more extremely hot days
35 Towards the explanation of the pause of global warming, the author seems to
be______.
（A）optimistic
（B）pessimistic
（C）skeptical
（D）favourable
35 In his blog, which is largely dedicated to the keeping of bees, John Carey, for 30 years a professor of English literature at Oxford, states that he writes to " stimulate and involve the general reader" . This autobiography, written with sympathy, a light touch and a sense of humour, amply fulfils that aim. It suggests that this well-known book reviewer and author retains strong opinions and a love of controversy, but also portrays a sensitive man dedicated to academic study and to reading. He admits that "courage matters more than understanding poetry" but, having read almost everything there is to read, he is unapologetic about trying to convey just what an enjoyable activity reading is. Born and brought up in London, Mr. Carey devoured books from an early age. After the Beano, the Biggies books and Chums magazine, the singing of hymns and the King James Bible, came the discovery of poetry—Keats, Arnold, Tennyson and Wordsworth. Grammar school and national service led to Oxford, a university that was
very different from the one that students experience today. Whereas now they are welcomed with placards and balloons, he was met by a gruff porter who told him the number of his room and bade him goodnight. There were old-style dons and much that he disapproved of, but he worked hard and thrived. His aim was to learn, not to have fun...those two aims seldom coincide.
Moving from college to college as he climbed the academic ladder, always within Oxford, Mr. Carey, a specialist in Donne and Milton, helped to drag his department into the Victorian age and then into the 20th century. He wrote books on Dickens and Thackeray, thought George Eliot "by a long stretch the most intelligent of all English novelists" , and considered Lawrence, Orwell and Conrad the best of more modern writers.
Having chaired a number of literary prizes, including the Booker twice, Mr. Carey found himself on the other side of the fence when his biography of William Golding was nominated for a James Tait Black award. His elation on learning that he had won is described with endearing candour: "I was far more moved than was appropriate for someone who knew literary prizes to be meaningless. " The short final chapter provides refreshing answers to the question, "Why Read?" It concludes, "Reading is freedom. Now read on. "
36 We can learn from the first paragraph that John Carey is ______.
（A）a professor and beekeeper
（B）a teacher, as well as a poet
（C）an author and book reviewer
（D）a writer, book reviewer and professor
37 The word "devoured"(Line 1, Para. 2)most probably means ______.
（A）ate greedily
（B）read eagerly
（C）wrote widely
（D）watched happily
38 We can learn from the second paragraph that Mr. Carey ______.
（A）read extensively and learned diligently
（B）aimed at learning and having fun
（C）became famous at an early age
（D）didn't like his college at all
39 According to Paragraph 3 , Mr. Carey ______.
（A）helped his department enter a new era
（B）contributed little to the academic sector
（C）was the most intelligent English novelist
（D）wrote books on Lawrence, Orwell and Conrad
40 The text mainly focuses on Mr. Carey's ______.
（A）writing skills and styles
（B）character and personality
（C）experience and achievement
（D）teaching and reading experience

40 Read the following text and answer the questions by choosing the most suitable subheading from the list A- G for each numbered paragraph(41-45). There are two extra subheadings which you do not need to use. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET.(10 points)
[A]The visa system is not perfect
[B]The selling of visa is on the rise
[C]Auction makes Britain competitive
[D]Selling visas is beneficial to Britons
[E]Methods to rectify the flaw of visa system
[F]Immigration brings negative economic impact
[G]Auction may be a solution to current visa system
Should the British government be in the business of selling visas? In effect it already is. For years wealthy folk who invest in the country have been given permission to live there. But according to a report released on February 25th by the Migration Advisory Committee, an independent group, Britain could do it better.
【R1】______
At present migrants who invest substantial sums in gilts or in British registered companies can apply for permanent residence. A million pounds($1. 7m)gets them leave to remain after five years: ￡5m reduces the waiting time to three years and ￡ 10m to two. They need not speak English and can bring their families. Between 2009 and 2013 Britain flogged 1,628 such visas, about half to Chinese and Russians. The market is heating up: 560 went last year.
【R2】______
This system is deeply flawed. The minimum investment level has not gone up since 1994. Because the value of an investment must remain above ￡ lm until residency is granted, most applicants pile into low-risk gilts, for which buyers are already plentiful. Investors are likely to sell those gilts when they obtain settlement. Rich foreigners, who prize London's private schools and England's legal system, are benefiting more than the country that hosts them, thinks the committee.
【R3】______
To redress this, it recommends raising the threshold to ￡2m and expanding the range of qualifying investments to include venture-capital schemes and infrastructure bonds. Gilts might be excluded. The committee also suggests introducing "premium" visas, which would entail quick settlement rights and less onerous residency requirements. These could be auctioned off with a reserve price of ￡2. 5m.
【R4】______
An auction would have two clear advantages over the current system: the number of visas could be easily controlled, and they would sell for more. A revenue-maximising government should prefer an auction based on single sealed bids, as the committee suggests. More than an "English" auction, where bids are public, this would play on applicants' fear of missing out, encouraging high rollers to bid closer to what they are willing to pay, rather than just a fraction more than their competitors, says Paul
Klemperer, an auction theorist at Oxford University. To keep people guessing, and prices high, the government could keep the winning bids secret.
Auctions would also enable would-be settlers to weigh Britain against other countries. Portugal offers residency to those who buy property worth 500,000(￡412,000). Malta offers citizenship for 1. 15m in return for a combination of cash, property purchases and investment.
Still, the committee's proposals could be improved upon. More than venture capital or private infrastructure investment, and much more than foreign property buyers, Britain needs cold cash. Instead of trying to determine what is and is not a useful investment, it could auction all rich folk visas and spend the proceeds.
【R5】______
A government obsessed with cutting immigration is unlikely to follow the committee's advice, let alone economic theory. But mere talk of selling settlement is healthy. More than half of Britons believe immigrants have a negative economic impact. A bidding war for British visas, with the proceeds going to hospitals and schools, might disabuse them of that notion. It might even make them feel better about the country where they live.

When Jeff Bezos left his job in finance and moved to Seattle 20 years ago to start a new firm, he rented a house with a garage, as that was where the likes of Apple and HP had been born. Although he started selling books, he called the firm Amazon because a giant river reflected the scale of his ambitions. This week the world's leading e-commerce company unveiled its first smartphone, which Amazon treats less as a communication
device than a shopping platform and way of gathering data about people in order to make even more accurate product recommendations.
The smartphone is typical of Amazon. There is the expansion: if you can deliver books and washing machines, why not a phone? There is the ability to switch between the real world and the digital world: Amazon has one of the world's most impressive physical distribution systems, even as it has branched out into cloud computing, e-books, video streaming and music downloads. There is the drive for market share over immediate profits. And there is the slightly creepy feeling that Amazon knows too much about its users.

(10 points) Facebook has been 1 with fire and has got its fingers burned, again. On November 29th America’s Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced that it had reached a 2 settlement with the giant social network over 3 that it had misled people about its use of their personal data. The details of the settlement make clear that Facebook, which 4 over 800m users, betrayed its users’ trust. It is also notable because it appears to be part of a broader 5 by the FTC to craft a new privacy framework to deal with the rapid 6 of social networks in America.

Passage One However important we may regard school life to be, there is no denying (否认) the fact that children spend more time at home than in the classroom. Therefore, the great influence of parents cannot be ignored by the teacher. They can become strong help to the school personnel or they can consciously or unconsciously go against the learning aims. Administrators have been aware of the need to keep parents informed of the newer methods used in schools. Many principals have conducted lectures explaining such matter as the reading readiness program, manuscript writing and developmental mathematics. Moreover, the classroom teacher, with the permission of the supervisors, can also play an important role in enlightening parents. The informal tea and the many interviews carried on during the year, as well as new ways of reporting pupil′s progress, can significantly aid in achieving a harmonious interplay between school and home. To illustrate, suppose that a father has been drilling Junior in arithmetic processes night after night. In a friendly inter If the father follows the advice, it is reasonable to assume that he will soon realize his son is making satisfactory progress in mathematics, and at the same time, enjoying the work. Too often, however, teachers′ conferences with parents are devoted to pretty accounts of children′s misbehaviors, complaints about laziness and poor work habits, and suggestion for punishment and rewards at home. What is needed is more creative approach in which the teacher, as a professional adviser, plants ideas in parents′ minds for the best utilization of the many hours that the child spends out of the classroom. In this way, the school and the home join forces in fostering the fullest development of youngst ers′ capacities. (355) 1.The central idea expressed in the above passage is that ［A］home training is more important than school training because a child spends so many hours with his parents. ［B］teachers can and should help parents to understand and further the aims of the school. ［C］there are many ways in which the mathematics program can be implemented at home. ［D］parents unconsciously have gone against the teaching aims. 2.The author directly discusses the fact that ［A］parents drill their children too much in arithmetic. ［B］principals have explained the new art programs to parents. ［C］ a father can have his son help him construct articles at home. ［D］a parent′s misguided efforts can be properly directed. 3.It can reasonably be inferred that the author ［A］is satisfied with present relationships between home and school. ［B］feels that the traditional program in mathematics is slightly superior to the developmental program. ［C］ ［D］is of the opinion that teachers of this generation are inferior to those of the last generation. 4.The author implies that ［A］participation in interesting activities relating to a subject improves one′s achievement in that area.［B］too many children are lazy and have poor work habits. ［C］school principals do more than their share in interpreting the curriculum to the parents. ［D］teachers should occasionally make home visits to parents. 5.We may infer that the writer of the article does favor ［A］a father′s helping his son with the latter′s studies.

In fact, getting fat may be a mechanism that【B3】______the body. The health problems【B4】______with fatness may not be caused by it but be another【B5】______, another symptom, of overeating. That is the【B6】______of Roger Unger and Philip Scherer. Dr. Unger and Dr. Scherer have been reviewing the science of what has come to be known as metabolic syndrome.

"Syndrome" is the medical term for a(n) 【B9】______of symptoms whose common cause is not【B10】______understood. The symptom of metabolic syndrome that appears first is usually【B11】______, so this is generally 【B12】______as the underlying cause. Dr. Unger and Dr. Scherer,【B13】______, turn this logic on its head. They point out that there is usually a period of many years between a person becoming【B14】 ______and his developing the other【B15】______. If the growth of adipose tissue(the body cells in which fat is stored)were【B16】______harmful, that would not be the 【B17】______. This is one of the lines of evidence that has led them to the conclusion that,【B18】______its role in storing energy as a hedge against future famine, getting fat is a protective mechanism【B19】______metabolic syndrome. Their thesis is that lipids(the group of molecules that includes fats), which are needed in small amounts to make cell membranes, are toxic in larger quantities.【B20】 ______them into adipose tissue is one of the body's ways of dealing with that toxicity. 1 【B1】 （A）In （B）At
