Section B
Directions:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
A
I used to think ants knew what they were doing. The ones
marching across my kitchen counter looked so confident; I just
figured they had a plan, knew where they were going and what
needed to be done. How else could ants organize highways, build
elaborate nests, launch impressive attacks, and do all the other things ants do?
Turns out I was wrong. Ants aren?t clever little engineers, ar chitects, or soldiers after all --- at least not as individuals. When it comes to deciding what to do next, most ants don?t have a clue. “If you watch an ant try to accomplish something, you?ll be impressed by how awkward it is,” says Deborah M. Gordon, a biologist at Stanford University.
“Ants aren?t smart,” Gordon says. “Ant colonies are.” A colony can solve problems unthinkable for individual ants, such as finding the shortest path to the best food source, assigning workers to different tasks, or defending a territory from neighbors. As individuals, ants might be tiny dummies, but as colonies they respond quickly and
effectively to their environment. They do it with something called collective intelligence.
Where this intelligence comes from raises an essential question in nature: How do the simple actions of individual ants add up to the complex behavior of a group? How do hundreds of honey-bees make a critical decision about their hive (蜂巢)if many of them disagree? The collective abilities of such animals --- one of which grasps the big picture, but each of which contributes to the group?s success --- seem miraculous even to the biologists who know them best. Yet during the past few decades, researchers have come up with fascinating insights.
56.The author?s former false impression about ants is that he thought them to be
_______.
A. smart
B. awkward
C. elaborate
D. creative
57.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Ants will function as a single body once a decision is made by the commander.
B. Ants are the only species which developed collective intelligence.
C. The ant queen plays a role in managing ant workers besides laying eggs.
D. An individual ant can?t comprehend the whole process of a big movement.
58.The paragraph following the passage will most probably deal with _______.
A. where we can observe such fantastic behavior of ants
B. which is the leading ant in charge of the action
C. how the collective intelligence works
D. what inspiration can be drawn from the collective abilities
B
The idea of using radio or wireless to broadcast to audiences was formed in 1916 by a president of the American Marconi Company, David
Sarnoff. His superiors were doubtful about his idea to “make radio a household cause, so that by purchase of a …radio music box?, the audience could enjoy lectures, music performance, etc.”
Four years later the American engineer Frank Conrad, an employee at W E Corp, attracted considerable attention when a local newspaper reported on the growing audience listening on crystal radio sets to his evening and weekend amateur broadcasts.
A local music store had provided records to play on the Victoria, and Conrad and his family served as disc jockeys(唱片音乐播音员). Westinghouse vice president Harry Davis asked Conrad to build a more powerful transmitter(发射台)in time to announce the outcome of the next US presidential election. Conrad completed his assignment, and on November 2, 1920, station KDKA in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, broadcast the announcement that Warren G. Harding had been elected president. About 1000 people heard this first news broadcast.
Radio communicated news much faster than did newspapers, and because crystal sets were easy to build and inexpensive, radio expanded rapidly in the following years. To stimulate the sale of radio sets, equipment manufactures provided transmitting facilities. Singers, comedians, and entire orchestras volunteered their services for publicity. The eventual financial basis of the new industry, however, was still unclear. One group in New York City tried to seek contributions from listeners while others urged that private foundations support radio stations as a public service. In August 1922 the first commercial radio advertisement was broadcast on WEAF (now WNBC) in New York City. In 1926, when about 5 million homes had radios, the Radio Corporation of America (RCA), in cooperation with the American Telephone & Telegraph Company, established the first commercial radio network. In the 1920s radio was established as a new mass medium had a practicable industry, and it became a national forum(论坛)for news and popular culture.
59.The passage is mainly concerned with _______.
A. the contribution of radio to popular culture
B. the invention and uses of radio
C. early radio programs for a mass audience
D. the history of radio broadcasting
60.Who started broadcasting radio programs to mass audience?
A. Frank Conrad
B. David Sarnoff
C. Harry Davis
D. Warren
Harding
61.After 1920, radio expanded rapidly because _______.
A. people could easily get it in stores
B. it was cheaper than newspapers
C. it had advantages over newspapers
D. people were interested in
anything new
62.By saying that “the eventual financial basis of the new industry was still unclear”,
the author means that _______.
A. the private foundations were unwilling to support the stations
B. the stations were not sure yet where to get the operational money
C. advertising and commercial programs could not raise enough money
D. the listeners would not pay for the broadcasting stations
C
It could be said that the age of adventure peaked with Sir Everest
Shackleton the moment his ship, the Endurance,become hopelessly
locked in ice on its way to Antarctica in January 1915. For ten months the
28 men aboard Shackleton?s ship waited and prayed for ice to break.
When it finally did, the Endurance sank, leaving the crew homeless and
adrift on a sea of ice in one of the world?s most dangerous environments.
In January 2000 a luxury ocean liner found itself similarly trapped in the cold waters off Antarctica. Argentine authorities sent off an icebreaker straight away from the nearest naval base, and in 24 hours, all 176 passengers and crew were free. The tour company?s spokesperson spun the potential disaster as a value-added reward in extreme travel. “The people on board are looking at this as sort of a great adventure,” she said.
Ever since Jon Krakauer?s book Into Thin Air made Everest a household name, the subculture of adventure has blown up like a Himalayan avalanche(雪崩) into public consciousness. Magazines promise “extreme” content, television, offers adventure programs, and the growing collective fascination with adventure has produced a flow of published accounts about the world?s greatest adventurous journey. Nowadays more 4and more people are interested in adventure and this mass appeal makes good business sense. Today the only thing blocking a would-be adventurer?s passage to Antarctica is
the cost---- which typically runs well over $10,000.
Despite very different implications, adventure was just as popular in Shackleton?s time. He has little trouble filling the Endurance----5,000 men are said to have responded to his recruitment(招募) notice: “Men wanted for risky journey. Small wages. Bitter cold. Long months of complete darkness. Constant danger. Safe return doubtful.”
After five months drifting on ice, the crew were forced to take to their lifeboats to Elephant Island. Reaching the wasteland, Shackleton went on with one lifeboat and five of his best men 1,300 kilometers across the bone-chilly Scotia Sea to South Georgia Island. Shivering with cold, dressed in rags, Shackleton marched into a whaling station and set about organizing a rescue expedition to Elephant Island. Almost two years after becoming shipwrecked on ice, Shacklet on picked up his crew. “Not a life lost, and we have been through hell,” he remarked earnestly.
63.We can learn from the first sentence of this passage that _______.
A. the age of adventure began with the ship Endurance trapped in ice
B. Shackleton?s adventu re marked the highest point of pure exploration
C. the age of adventure ended with the ship Endurance trapped in ice
D. Shackleton?s adventure predicted that the golden age of exploration was
approaching
64.The word “spun” in the second paragraph can be replaced by “_______”.
A. summed up
B. judged
C. boasted about
D. referred to
65.Since Jon Krakauer?s book was published _______.
A. the media have got interested in the topic of adventure
B. the costs of extreme travel have gone up
C. Everest has got its name known to Europe
D. people have got fascinated by Himalayan avalanches
66.The adventure in Shackleton?s time has different implications from today?s in that
_______.
A. Shackleton?s adventure lasted longer then any other adventure nowadays
B. no o ne was missing during Shackleton?s adventure
C. Shackleton?s adventure was entirely for the sake of adventure
D. Shackleton enrolled volunteers more easily
Section C
Directions:Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A. It?ll make you learn to enjoy what you have, fix what?s broken, and shop for a bargain.
B. Spending more is likely to stimulate your motivation for more earning.
C. It gives you options and frees you from relying on someone else?s priorities.
D. Living with less is the most efficient way to control your financial future.
E. Actually, your parents have already given you too much.
F. What you want is respect and admiration from other people.
My wife and I recently welcomed a child into the world. His only interest right now is keeping us awake 24/7. But one day, he?ll need to learn something about finance. When he does, here are some suggestions.
1. You might think you want an expensive car, a fancy watch, and a huge house. But you don?t. (67)________________________ You think having expensive stuff will bring it. It almost never does—especially from the people you want to respect and admire you.
2. The road to financial regret is paved with debt. Some debt, such as a mortgage, is OK. But most spending that results in debt is the equivalent of a drug: a quick hit of pleasure that wears off, only to drag you down for years to come, limiting your options and keeping you weighed down by the baggage of your past.
3. I hope you?re poor at some point. Not struggling, and not unhappy, of course. But there?s no way to learn the value of money without feeling the power of its scarcity. It
teaches you the difference between necessary and desirable. (68) ________________________ These are essential survival skills.
4. If you?re like most people, you?ll spend most of your adult life thinking, “Once I?ve saved/earned $X, everything will be great.” Then you?ll hit $X, move the goalposts, and resume chasing your tail. It?s a miserable cycle. Your goals should be about more than money.
5. Don?t stay in a job you hate because you made a career choice at 18. Almost no one knows what he or she wants to do at that age. M any people don?t know what they want until they?re twice that age. (These are the signs you?re in the wrong career.)
6. The best thing money buys is to control over your time. (69) ________________________ One day you?ll realize that this freedom is one of the things that makes you truly happy.
7. Change your mind when you need to. I?ve noticed a tendency for people to think they?ve mastered investing when they?re young. They start investing at age 18 and think they have it all figured out by age 19. They never do.
8. Some people are born into families that encourage education; others are from families that are against it. Some are born into flourishing economies; others, into war and poverty. I want you to be successful, and I want you to earn it. But realize that not all success is due to hard work and not all poverty is due to laziness. Keep this in mind when judging people, including yourself.
9. Your savings rate has a little to do with how much you earn and a lot to do with how much you spend. I know a dentist who lives paycheck to paycheck, always on the edge of ruin. I know another person who never earned more than $50,000 and saved a fortune. The difference is entirely due to their spending. (70) __________________________.
10. Don?t listen to me if you disagree with what I?ve written. The world you grow up in will have different values and opportunities than the one I did. More important, you?ll
learn best when you disagree with someone and then are forced to learn it yourself. (On the other hand, always listen to your mother.)
IV. Summary Writing
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Meet The Member Who Quit Sugar
When I was 15, I weighed 100 kg.
I was a size 20+ and hated the way I looked. I was a serial big eater and quite depressed. I would sit in front of the fridge, eat something, move to the cupboard, eat a packet of chips, and move back to the fridge.
It was a heart breaking cycle of hate and food. I didn?t feel confident, pretty, or worthwhile.
Shopping made me cry, I avoided mirrors, and my social life came to an end. I actually lost friends because they told me I was antisocial. It became so bad that I wanted to abuse myself; my skin and my mind became my enemy.
But then, I turned my life around. I quit sugar.
It started with my mum. She staged an intervention(干预) that made me cry. I wanted to change - I needed to change - and she could see how unhappy I was.
She put me onto a diet that mostly aimed to schedule meals, and - to my shock horror - cut out all processed sugar. It was so hard at first. I remember the shame of sneaking chocolate and candies when the three o?clock hunger hits.
But the weeks kept coming and it just got easier. I stopped eating sugar, and I stopped loving it; simple as that.
I substituted chips and biscuits for fruit and nuts, and had cup-of-soups after school when I was hit by the desire. I also had more energy, having a 20-minute walk with my dog into my everyday routine; I began to love that personal time.
Cutting out sugar gave me so much more control over my body, and my outlook on life improved. So many people are intimidated by the words “quit sugar”. It?s not true. Fruit, honey, et cetera are natural sugars, and believe me, they fuel you better than
chocolate bars ever could.
Now I?m 17, turning 18, and I weigh 70 kg. I still struggle with my weight, but this is where I sit naturally, and I am very proud of myself. I never thought I would be confident enough to wear dresses or skirts, and take leadership roles to put myself out there and develop my social skills.
I could never have done it without the support of my friends and family, and I urge everyone who wants to do right by themselves and change their diet - quitting sugar or otherwise - to share their decision with people. Develop a support network, online or offline, which can offer you advice or pick you up when you?re down. And I can assure you, from my own personal experience, your body will thank you, and you will thank yourself too.

参考范例：
Dear Respectable Principal,
On behalf of all students in our school, I?m writing to you about the school ban on ordering take-away food imposed by our school recently.
We all agree that the ban on take-away food is reasonable. The quality of take-away food is not reliable and might do harm to our health, so this ban is aimed at protecting our health and helping us form a good eating habit.
Meanwhile, there are still some problems even if we don?t order take-away food.
We sincerely hope our school will improve the service of the school canteen. Basically, there is a variety of food in our school canteen and the taste is acceptable. But it is super-crowded during lunch break, and many of us have to line up too long. Is it possible more windows will offer food? What?s worse, the food we can get after long-time waiting is cold in winter, which is far from satisfactory. Besides, we strongly advise our school to offer the night-time snacks. Most students have supper before five o'clock, so many of us, especially boys, feel hungry at night. Without night-time snacks, no wonder many students turn to instant noodles to satisfy our appetite at night, which is bad for health.
To sum up, our school has made a right decision, while there is still room for improvement, which all students are looking forward to.
Faithfully Yours

二阅读 70分 （一）阅读下列文章，完成第3—8题。（16分） ①尽管网络文学已经发展了十几年，但什么是网络文学仍没有一个统一的定义。不过，如果从媒介革命的视野出发，在不久的将来应该不再存在网络文学的概念，相反会出现“纸质文学”的概念。除了作为“博物馆艺术”传承的纸质文学外，网络将成为一切主流、非主流文学艺术的平台。 ②目前的网络文学以类型小说为主，但也不是铁板一块。随着 2012 年互联网进入移动时代，针对移动受众阅读时间碎片化的特点，一些主打“小而美”注的 APP 终端应运而生，如韩寒主编的《ONE〃一个》，中文在线推出的“汤圆创作”，专门发表短篇小说的“果仁小说”，此外微博、微信公共账号也是相当活跃的个人作品发表平台。与此同时，传统文学期刊也开始进行“网络移民”，如由《人民文学》杂志推出的手机阅读平台“醒客”也于 2014 年 7 月上线。不过，传统文学要成功地实现“网络移民 ．．．．”不可能是原封不动的“穿越”，而是要经过脱胎换骨的“重生”。“内容一经媒介必然发生变化”，这是麦克卢汉那句“媒介即信息”断言的重要含义。所以，与其我们现在努力参照纸质文学的概念定义网络文学，不如直接去研究“网络类型小说”“直播贴”“微小说”这些自然生长起来的网络文学形态，在此基础上进行总结。 ③媒介革命已经不以人的意志为转移地发生了，网络时代主流文学的建构必然是以网络为平台的。在这个汇集各种年龄、各种文化结构和文学趣味的“全平台”上，占据主流的应该还是类型小说，这是大众阅读需要决定的，也是文化工业的性质决定的。在理想的状态下，类型小说应该是分层的。其实网文作者现在就有“小白”和“文青”之分，“小白文”追求“爽”，“文青文”在追求“爽”的同时，还强调文笔和情怀。“文青”的粉丝团在人数上通常比不上“小白”，但文化层次和忠诚度都更高。某种意义上说，有些“另类”的“文青”代表着类型文中的精英倾向——这里不是光有几个“大神”，还有他们大量的铁杆粉丝。由于网络文学即时互动的特点，每一部小说都凝聚了无数“集体的智慧”，作者更像是“总执笔人”。如果没有相当数量的“铁粉”出钱出力、鼎力支持，在“小白当道”的总体阅读环境下，“文青大神”是活不下来的。从这个意义上说，有几流读者才有几流作者。 ④在大众的类型小说之外，还应该有各种小众的圈子，如“耽美圈”“同人圈”，以及上面提到的各种“小而美”等文学形态。这些“非主流”的小众圈子或有亚文化色彩，或有纯文学趋向，在文化观念或文学观念上进行探索，它们探索的成果可以推动更大众、更主流的文学的不断发展。对小众成果的吸收主要是由大众文学中的精英圈完成的，他们不但要吸收各种小众的文学成果，还要与思想界和文化界保持连通。大师级的大众文学作品不是只满足受众的阅读欲望，还要缓解他们的焦虑，安抚他们的灵魂，网络文学这样的“集体创作”更是如此。如果这些作品能够与主流价值观对接，甚或参与主流价值观的建构，就自然是实至名归的主流文学。 ⑤在主流文学建构的过程中，精英批评的力量是十分重要的。现在这部分工作主要是由“精英粉丝”自发完成的。学院派研究者如果要有效介入，必须重新调整定位。这不仅意味着研究方法的全面更新，同时也意味着研究态度发生根本性的变化——不能再以中立的、客观的、专业的超然态度自居，而是要以“学者粉丝”的身份进行“介入式研究”。研究成果发表的空间也不应只局限于学术期刊，而是应该进入网络生产场域。比如，对于现在网络文学的研究，如果学院派网络文学批评能够对具有精英倾向的作品进行深入解读，在点击率和网站排行榜之外，再造一个真正有影响力的精英榜，影响粉丝们的“辨别力”与“区隔”，那么就能真正“介入性”地影响网络文学的发展，并参与主流文学的打造了。
