II. Grammar and Vocabulary
Section A
Directions: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
(A)
Plants are very important to human life. Through photosynthesis (光合作用), they transform carbon dioxide into fresh oxygen. They (21) __________(assume) to remove toxins from the air we breathe —but is this true?
One famous NASA experiment, published in 1989, has found indoor plants can clean the air by removing pollutants (22) __________ (cause) cancer. Later research has found soil micro-organisms in the potted plant also (23) __________ (play) a part in cleaning indoor air.
Based on this research, some scientists say house plants are effective natural air purifiers, and the bigger and leafier the plant, the better. The amount of leaf surface area influences the rate of air purification. (24) __________, however, say the evidence that plants can effectively accomplish this feat(功绩) is far from conclusive.
“There are no definitive studies (25) __________ show having indoor plants can significantly increase the air quality in your home,” according to Luz Claudio, a professor of environmental medicine and public health. “There’s no doubt that plants are capable of removing volatile(易挥发的) chemical toxins from the air under laboratory conditions,” says Claudio. “But in your home or office space, the belief (26) __________ putting a few plants together can purify your air doesn’t have much hard science to back it up.”
Most research efforts to date, including the NASA study, placed indoor plants in small, sealed environments (27) __________ (assess) how much air-purifying power they have. “But those studies aren’t really applicable to what happens in a house. In many cases, the air in your home completely turns over —that is, exchanges places with outdoor air —once every hour. In most instances, air exchange with the outside has a greater effect on indoor air quality than plants.” says Stanley Kays, a professor of horticulture (园艺学).
Disappointed (28) __________ many people may be by what Kays said, the professor also made it clear that he believes house plants are beneficial. Studies have shown plants can knock out stress and make people feel happier. More research shows spending time around nature has a positive effect on a person’s mood and energy levels.
(B)
Is This Art?
Have you ever looked at a painting and thought “I could do better than that”? Have you ever seen a film without any story or characters? Or heard a piece of music that doesn’t quite sound like music? If you can answer “yes” to any of these questions, the chances are that (29) __________ you were looking at, watching or listening to was something “avant-garde”.
One of the most famous examples of avant-garde art comes from the world of music. John Cage’s piece of music 4’33” consists of 4 minutes and 33 seconds of silence. It was written by Cage, a leading American member of the avant-garde, in 1952. It was divided into three movements, (30) __________ (perform) without a single note being played. According to the composer, the music is actually the sounds the listener hears while “listening” to the performance. These might include, of course, listeners (31) __________ (ask) each other how they know when the piece ends.
Cinema has always had avant-garde directors. Possibly the best known is Andy Warhol. (32) __________ better known as a painter, between 1963 and 1968 Warhol made more than 60 films, nearly all of (33) __________ being experimental. One film, Eat, consists of a man eating a mushroom for 45 minutes, while Sleep shows poet John Giorno sleeping for 6 hours. Empire is 8 hours long and only shows the Empire State Building as the sun sets at dusk. You could eat a lot of popcorn in 8 hours.
Some people love avant-garde art and some hate it. Some believe avant-garde artists are geniuses, (34) __________ others tend to think they’re pretentious. However, whether you love them or hate them, you will probably have to accept that these people are just no (35) __________ (passionate) about their art than Michelangelo, Beethoven or Orson Welles were in their day.
Section B
Directions: Complete the following passages by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
(A)
NASA is on a journey to Mars, with a goal of sending humans to the Red Planet in the 2030s. That journey is
already well under way.
For decades, the agency and its partners have sent orbiters, landers and rovers (探测器), (36) __________ increasing our knowledge about the Red Planet and paving the way for future human explorers. The Curiosity rover has gathered radiation data to help us protect future astronauts, and the upcoming Mars 2020 rover will study the (37) __________ of Martian resources, including oxygen.
Building on the robotic legacy (遗产), the human exploration of Mars crosses three thresholds (门槛), each with (38) __________ challenges as humans move farther from Earth: Earth Reliant, the Proving Ground, and Earth Independent.
Earth Reliant exploration is (39) __________ on research aboard the International Space Station. The orbiting microgravity laboratory serves as a world-class test bed for the technologies and communications systems needed for human missions to deep space. Astronauts are learning about what it takes to live and work in space for long periods of time, improving our understanding of how the body changes in space and how to protect astronaut health.
Next, we move into the Proving Ground, (40) __________ a series of missions near the moon called “cislunar space” to test the capabilities we will need to live and work at Mars. Astronauts on the space station are only hours away from Earth, but the proving ground is days away, a(n) (41) __________ stepping stone to a Mars mission, which will be months away from home.
Also in the 2020s, we’ll send astronauts on a year-long mission into this deep space proving ground, confirming habitation and testing our (42) __________ for Mars.
Finally, we become Earth Independent, building on the knowledge (43) __________ on the space station and in deep space to send humans to low-Mars orbit in the early 2030s.
This phase will also test the entry, descent (降落) and landing techniques needed to get to the Martian surface and study what’s needed for in-situ resource utilization or “living off the land”. NASA is already studying the (44) __________ “Exploration Zones” on Mars that would offer compelling science research and provide resources our astronauts can use.
There are challenges to (45) __________ Mars, but we know they are solvable. We are well on our way to getting there, landing there, and living there.
(B)
What’s the purpose of philosophy? Alfred North Whitehead characterized it as a series of footnotes to Plato (柏拉图). On the surface, we don’t seem to have progressed much in the two and a half millennia (千年) since Plato wrote his dialogues. Today’s philosophers still struggle with many of the same issues that exercised the Greeks.
Compared with philosophy, science has been one long success story since it took its modern form in the 17th century. It has (46) __________ the workings of nature and brought untold benefits to humanity.
However, not all philosophers are troubled by this contrast. For some, the worth of philosophy lies in the process, not the (47) __________. According to Socrates’ (苏格拉底的) statement —“The unexamined life is not worth living.” they hold that reflection on the human statement is valuable in itself. Others take their lead from Marx —“The philosophers have only interpreted the world.” —and view philosophy as a(n) (48) __________ of political change, whose purpose is not to reflect reality, but to change it. Even so, the majority of contemporary philosophers probably still think of philosophy as a route to the truth.
According to the “spin-off (副产品)” theory of philosophical progress, all new sciences start as branches of philosophy, and only become (49) __________ as separate disciplines once philosophy has granted them the (50) __________intellectual means to survive on their own. Then, it is wrong to suppose the lack of progress in philosophy. Whenever philosophy does make progress, it creates a new subject, which then no longer counts as part of philosophy. That’s why its progress is masked by the (51) __________ renaming of its intellectual fruits.
Philosophy hasn’t left everything to other university departments, and still (52) __________ plenty of its own questions to exercise its own students. The trouble is that it doesn’t seem to have any definite answers. When it comes to topics like morality, knowledge, free will, consciousness and so on, the lecturers still debate a range of (53) __________ that have been around for a long time.
No doubt some of the (54) __________ between philosophy and science result from the different methods of investigation that they (55) __________. Where philosophy relies on analysis and argument, science is devoted to data. It is scarcely doubted that philosophers disagree more than scientists. But arguments have loopholes (漏洞). So there is always plenty of room for philosophers to take issue with each other, where scientists by contrast have to accept what they are told.
Perhaps there is more progress in philosophy than at first appears, even apart from the spin-off disciplines. Judging from its appearances, it may look as if nothing is ever settled. But behind them, philosophy is by no means incapable of advancing.
III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
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.
In the city of Lyon, hundreds of the world’s finest chefs gathered on January 26 for the funeral of Paul Bocuse, the man credited with the creation of innovative cuisine (菜肴). Meanwhile, in branches of the Intermarché supermarket across France, shoppers were (56) __________ to get hold of 1kg jars of Nutella, on special offer at just € 1.41, down from about € 4.50. One branch shifted 400 jars in 21 minutes. Videos showed shoppers stuffing jars of Nutella into bags. Some customers came the night before the promotion to (57) __________ the Nutella pots in other places in order to prevent them from being taken. Shoppers broke items in their (58) __________ for the treat.
Thus, a dirty secret is uncovered: France has fallen in love with cheap, fast food. It’s tempting to think that perhaps France should (59) __________ its bright self-image along with the master.
McDonald’s, the leader of all things unpalatable(令人讨厌的) yet delicious, opened its first branch in
France in 1972, but it operated so badly that the company (60) __________ from the country soon. In 1979, McDonald’s returned and succeeded by going (61) __________, which extended far beyond renaming its food. It (62) __________ identified the French preference for eating at table or in family and made sure the environment of its outlets was the same to comfort as to speed. Since then, France has grown to become McDonald’s most profitable market outside the US, with more than 1,400 branches at the end of 2016. Burger King, (63) __________, came in waving stars and stripes high and left with its tail between its legs in 1997 though it returned in 2012 with a far more (64) __________ strategy. None of this has gone exactly unnoticed, especially when fast food (65) __________ traditional restaurants in 2012, leaving traditionalists angrily waving their ham-and-butter baguettes (法式长棍面包) at the newcomers.
Nutella has had a(n) (66) __________ ride in France. Developed in postwar Italy at a time of cocoa rationing (定量配给) and hazelnut glut (榛子过剩), the Ferrero company’s spread was an instant (67) __________ when introduced in France in the 1960s. Half of all French families have it on their breakfast table, and for adults it has come to represent a taste of childhood. Such is the (68) __________ that one French couple were prevented from naming their daughter Nutella only by legal act.
If there is a(n) (69) __________ in Nutella, it is its ingredient, whose production has been linked to deforestation and the destruction of natural habitats, pushing the French government to impose a special “Nutella” tax on products from palm oil. France’s Super U supermarket chain, a rival to Intermarché, has already (70) __________ palm oil from its own-label products, and the pressure on the big brands to do the same is likely to increase.

Section B
Directions: Read the following 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)
Seasickness and sunburn. Taking care of old people in different situations. My medical friends did their best to persuade me. Everyone said that running away to sea would ruin my career. But after five sleep-deprived years working as a junior doctor, I was willing to take the risk.
Hungry for adventure, I boarded a bright white ship in Singapore. With 2,000 passengers and crew, she was the size of a small town.
To my relief, the hospital was well equipped, with an X-ray machine and a blood analyzer.
That first cruise (航行) was a learning experience, a tight schedule full of safety drills. There was so much new information to take in. Even remembering which of the uniforms to wear each day was a challenge. Most confusing, I often forgot to change my clock when the ship crossed time zones.
As a doctor, I was responsible for the 600 crew including waiters, engineers, cooks and navigators, and I was on call for the entire ship.
Far from treating seasickness and sunburn, as I’d been warned, my patients were wide and varied. The ship’s medical center was essentially a floating emergency room, but we didn’t have a team of specialists on hand for a second opinion. With long and unpredictable hours, it required mental toughness.
As you can guess, many of the passengers were elderly. Heart attacks don’t care about geography and emergency evacuations (疏散) were difficult to arrange.
I recall one such patient, who was taken off the ship on a stretcher (担架) halfway through the Panama Canal. After a terrifying ride in the back of an old ambulance, I was relieved that the patient survived long enough to arrive at the hospital in Panama City.
Thankfully, there were several unexpected benefits to the job. I regularly enjoyed the passenger facilities, including the gym, spa and deck buffet. I even hosted my own table of passengers in the evenings. On rare days off, I volunteered as a tour guide on trips ashore. I got to fly over Alaska in a seaplane and watched a ballet in St Petersburg.
I now understand that being a cruise ship doctor is not a job —it’s a way of life.
One year at sea became two. I lost my career ambitions, but I redefined happiness in my life.

The area onstage near an orchestra’s conductor is usually reserved for violinists. But put on a virtual-reality headset, and you are so close to Gustavo Dudamel, the wild-haired conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, that he almost hits you with his baton (指挥棒). He is consumed with conducting “Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony”, and you have the impression of enjoying a private performance. The project, which introduces classical music to people who have never set foot in a concert hall, is touring Los Angeles in a van.
Most days the appropriately named Van Beethoven is parked outside the Walt Disney Concert Hall, the LA Philharmonic’s home. Inside are several concert seats and pairs of virtual-reality headsets, which provide a 3-D scene. The aim is to use technology to tempt a new group of concertgoers to attend a real-life version, says Amy Seidenwurm, who speaks for the orchestra.
Classical concertgoers are becoming greyer and rarer. In 2012 around 9% of American adults attended a classical-music event, a quarter less than in 2002, according to the National Endowment for the Arts. A third came from families earning $ 100,000 or more a year. Moreover, those used to “on demand” digital music can be less keen on showing up at a set time, to hear something someone else has chosen to play for them.
The Philadelphia Orchestra has tried playing three excerpts (选段) from different music, letting the audience vote for the one they would like to hear the rest of. Others have added longer intervals in bars, or jazz after concerts. “It’s a tough balancing act to adapt to what that new generation’s preferences are and maintaining the integrity (完整) of what an orchestra is,” says Jesse Rosen of the League of American Orchestras.
Until recently virtual reality was a futuristic technology, but it is slowly forcing its way into real life. In November Oculus, a company owned by Facebook, will join Samsung to sell a virtual-reality device for $ 99. This should be great for orchestras like the LA Philharmonic. However, some consumers are bound to wonder why it is worth going to a real-life concert when they can have one of their own on their sofa, and never worry about being late.
79.According to the passage, how is “The project” in Paragraph 1 carried out?
A. By inviting people who have never been to a concert hall to go inside one.
B. By letting people enjoy virtual concerts performed by a famous orchestra.
C. By making classical music on the street to attract passers-by and tourists.
D. By having people listen to classical music while touring the city in a van.
80.Classical concertgoers are rarer mainly because __________.
A. a passive listening experience is no longer attractive
B. loyal concertgoers are growing too old to get out of their homes
C. the young tend to prefer digital music to classical music
D. fewer people are able to earn $ 100,000 or even more a year now
81.Which of the following is probably a typical “balancing act” for orchestras to adapt to the
new generation’s preferences?
A. Playing jazz music instead of classic music.
B. Adding 3-D effects into the performances.
C. Distributing headsets to concertgoers.
D. Providing “on demand” experience.
82.What does the author think of the future of orchestras with the aid of virtual reality?
A. Very promising.
B. Still doubtful.
C. There will be even fewer goers.
D. It will remain the same.

The number of devices you can talk to is multiplying — first it was your phone, then your car, and now you can boss around your appliances. Children are likely to grow up thinking everything is alive, or at least interactive: One app developer told The Washington Post that after interacting with Amazon’s intelligent personal assistant Alexa, his son started talking to cup mats. But even without chatty devices, research suggests that under certain circumstances, people personify everyday products.
Sometimes we see things as human because we’re lonely. In one experiment, people who reported feeling isolated were more likely than others to attribute free will and consciousness to various devices. In turn, feeling being related to objects can reduce loneliness. When college students were reminded of a time they’d been excluded socially, they made it up by exaggerating their number of friends on social media — unless they were first given tasks that caused them to interact with their phone as if it had human qualities. The phone apparently stood in for real friends.
At other times, we personify products in an effort to understand them. One study found that three in four respondents shouted at their computer — and the more their computer gave them problems, the more likely they were to report that it had “its own beliefs and desires”.
When we personify products, they become harder to cast off. After being asked to evaluate their car’s
personality, people were less likely to say they intended to replace it soon. And personifying objects is associated with a tendency to hoard (囤积).
So how do people assign characteristics to an object? In part, we rely on looks. On humans, wide faces are associated with dominance. Similarly, people rated cars, clocks, and watches with wide faces as more dominant-looking than narrow-faced ones, and preferred them. An analysis of car sales in Germany found that cars with grilles (格栅) that were upturned like smiles and headlights like narrowed eyes sold best. The purchasers saw these features as increasing a car’s friendliness and aggressiveness, respectively.
It’s little wonder so many companies use mascots (吉祥物) to bring brands to life. A classification of 1,151 brand characters found symbols that were human or humanlike to be widespread: People were most popular, accounting for 21 percent of mascots, followed by birds, domesticated animals, wild animals, and various plants.
Personifying products and brands can backfire, however. When a coffee maker was personified in an ad (“I am Aroma” versus just “Aroma”), men — but not women — felt betrayed by increases in its price. Now that speech-enabled coffee makers are on the market, maybe the machines can sweet-talk their way back into men’s hearts.
83.Why would the son of an app developer in Paragraph 1 try to talk to cup mats?
A. Because he believes the cup mats have talked to him.
B. Because he has strong interests in making conversation.
C. Because he recognizes everything as being interactive.
D. Because he wants to repeat the experience with Alexa.
84.People are most likely to personify things when __________.
A. they become extremely angry with a certain product
B. they feel lonely and are aware of a desire for interaction
C. they find it hard to understand other people around them
D. they lack real life friends and are not able to make any
85.Which of the following is true regarding the result of personifying products?
A. We prefer good-looking products and are more likely to buy them.
B. We find it harder to get rid of the things that we once personified.
C. Dominant-looking cars sell best because we find them friendlier.
D. Products with certain features are more likely to be personified.
86.Which of the following can probably make the most popular brand mascot according to the
passage?
A. Hello Kitty.
B. A good-looking dog.
C. Super Mario Brothers.
D. Sunflowers.
Section C
Directions: Read the following 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.
What to Do with Radioactive Water from Fukushima
Japanese officials are trying to decide what to do with thousands of radioactive water from the damaged Fukushima nuclear power plant. People can now work in the area although they take special measures to avoid overexposure to radioactive substances. The water remains a big problem however. Currently, the water is being stored in 900 large tanks near the nuclear center.
(87) __________ Radiation experts advise the government to slowly release the water into the Pacific Ocean. They note that special treatment has removed the radioactivity from the water except for tritium (氚), a radioactive form of hydrogen. The experts say tritium is safe in small amounts.
But local fishermen oppose the release of the water into the sea. (88) __________ The fishermen lost their livelihoods for a long time after the disaster. Local fisheries are slowly recovering. So local fishermen are afraid that it will affect their livelihoods again if the government allows to release the water.
Fifteen months after the disaster in 2012, only three kinds of fish could pass the safety inspection. Now the number has increased to over 100. Yoshiharu Nemoto is a researcher at the Onahama test station. He said the fish may contain less than half of the radioactive cesium(铯) level permitted under Japan’s national standard and one-twelfth of the U. S. or European Union limit.
(89) __________ Over the years, fewer Japanese consumers avoid fish products from waters near Fukushima. But a study by Japan’s Consumer Agency in October found that 20 percent still do. The study found that consumers were more likely to pay attention to information about possible bad health results than to facts about radiation and safety standards.
Kikuko Tatsumi is a representative of a consumer group and serves on a government expert panel (专家组) with Sekiya. He said the delay in making a decision may be increasing concerns among the public. Many people believe the water is stored because it is dangerous and they think Fukushima fish are not available because they are not safe to eat. (90) __________
IV. Summary Writing
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main points of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
91.
It’s a nightly dilemma (困境) in many families: a student hits a wall doing homework, and his parents are too tired, too busy or too puzzled to help.
Ordering up a tutor is becoming as easy for kids as getting a snack. Students can use a credit card to connect with a live tutor. Such non-stop, no-appointment-needed services can be especially helpful to students with tight budgets or little time or those in remote areas although the quality of on-demand scholastics support may be uneven(不均匀的), and the unstable tutors may be not the best for those who need continuous help. Besides, language barriers can also cause problems on sites which rely on tutors from abroad.
Prices are lower than what many skilled tutors charge in a student’s home. Parents and students say the quick homework fix can ease stress and make evenings at home more peaceful.
Whenever Peggy Bennett of Dallas tries to help her daughter, Chloe Friedman, with her eight-grade physics and math homework, “we’d always end up with quarreling,” Ms. Bennett says, with Chloe often objecting that the teacher did it differently.
Chloe says she doubted when her mom helped her sign up last month on https://www.doczj.com/doc/ae19128132.html,. But after she logged in one evening for math help, a tutor responded within a minute. Chloe says she was guided to figure out the answers, using text chat and an interactive “whiteboard” that displayed their writing and calculations on a screen. After 10 minutes, Ms. Bennett adds, “that was all that she needed.”
Most sites employ moonlighting or retired teachers, college professors or professionals with tutoring experience; most offer scheduled tutoring in addition to on-demand sessions. The most common users are middle and high-schoolers, and college students who take basic courses.
V. Translation

91. A possible version:
Many families are faced with the difficulty of helping their children with their homework.【①提出遇到的困难】Ordering up a tutor online is a good way to solve the problem despite a few flaws.【②尽管有弊端，但“在线家教”是一个较好解决方案。】On-site teachers of good quality are available.【③好处一：师资质量好（一般是家教经验的老师）。】And it’s more convenient and cheaper than the traditional way in which skilled tutors are invited to their students’ home.【④+⑤好处二与三：更方便（回复及时）+更便宜（与传统上门家教老师相比）。注意：③、④、⑤顺序可调换。】(Word count: 58)
●MSW提示：虽然文中提到“在线家教”坏处有3个，好处有3个，但是坏处的篇幅占比远远少于好
处，所以在字数有限的情况下，“坏处”宜笼统地一笔带过。另外，Peggy Bennett与Chloe Friedman 显然是代表相当多受惠于“在线家教”的人群，概要写作中不宜出现这些具体的人名，应概括成一种群体共性。

Transcript of Listening Comprehension
I. Listening Comprehension
Section A
Directions: In Section A, you will hear ten short conversations between two speakers. At the end of each conversation, a question will be asked about what was said. The conversations and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a conversation and the question about it, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.
1.M: You are a good talk show host, Robin.
W: Thanks, Ken. You are a good cameraman. And we are lucky to have great reporters like
John and Debbie.
Q: What’s Ken?
2.M: I’d like to exchange fifty US dollars for Euros. What is the exchange rate today?
W: One dollar to 0.80 Euro.
Q: How many Euros will the man get?
3.W: Are you going to attend the lecture on “happiness” by this famous professor from Fudan
University this coming Saturday?
M: I’d like to, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to. Since it is open to the public, I imagine that the tickets may have already been sold out.
Q: Why isn’t the man going to the lecture?
4.M: People say the manager doesn’t like young people with glasses, is that true?
W: Well, if you want to get the job, you’d better take off your glasses.
Q: What can we infer from the conversation?
5.W: Kennedy Airport, please. I have to be there by 8:00.
M: I can’t promise anything in such traffic, but I’ll do my best.
Q: Where does the conversation probably take place?
6.M: All my photos were lost during a recent computer breakdown. I should be blamed for
simply taking it for granted that the digital data will always be in safe hands. I’ve neglected the potential risk of losing it.
W: Don’t blame yourself, Jack. We all make the same mistakes. The digital information we all rely on is actually very delicate.
Q: What does the woman mean?
7.M: Hi, Susie. I’m watching a movie on my smartphone. But it keeps failing over.
W: Use your sunglasses as a stand. Fold them on the table and put your phone in them just like this.
Q: What does Susie suggest the man do?
8.W: Hey, you’ve caught so many fish! But they are of so small size. You’ll have to pay a
good fine if you’re caught.
