II.Vocabulary
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Cats know their names
Cats are known for their indifference to humans：almost any owner will testify to how readily these animals ignore us when we call them. But a new study indicates ___21___ cats do recognize their own names —even if they walk away when they hear them.
Atsuko Saito, a behavioral scientist now at Sophia University in Tokyo, previously showed that cats can recognize their owner’s voice. In her latest study, which involved 78 cats from Japanese ___22___ and a “cat café,” she homed in on responses to their names.
Saito and her colleagues first had owners ___23___ say four words that sounded similar to their cats’ names until the animals got familiar with those words and stopped responding. Next the owners said the actual names, and the researchers looked at whether individual cats(when living among other cats) appeared able to ___24___ their monikers(绰号). The cats had more pronounced responses to their own names than to similar words or other cats’ names.
The researchers also had people unfamiliar to the cats speak the names. Although the felines’ responses were less ___25___ than when their owners called them, they still appeared to recognize their names.
“This new study clearly shows that many cats react to their own names when spoken by their owners,” says biologist John Bradshaw, who formerly studies human-animal ___26___ at the University of Bristol’s Anthrozoology Institute and was not involved in the work. But Bradshaw says he is less ___27___ cats can recognize their names when spoken by someone unfamiliar. “I think it’s entirely possible that some cats are able to generalize between one human voice and another, but I’d like to see more trials before I’d say that the evidence is ___28___,” he says.
Saito says the felines in the experiments probably “associated their names with some ___29___ or punishments,” and she thinks it is unlikely they understand that these sounds are attached to them as individuals. “There is no evidence that cats have the ability to recognize themselves, like us,” she explains. “So the recognition of their name is different from ours.”
Whether that could allow humans to train cats to respond to ___30___—as dogs readily do—is another matter. “Cats are just as good as dogs at learning,” Bradshaw says. “They are just not as keen to show their owners what they’ve learned.
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.
Instead of cruising in on a hoverboard, I rode my bike to the office today. The bicycle was invented in the 19th century. Instead of taking a pill for breakfast, I had a bacon roll, cooked using gas. Science fiction has __31__ to us.
Making predictions is tricky, especially about the future, as physicist Niels Bohr joked. In science fiction, you can’t escape that __32__, though. Since its birth in the 19th century, writers have __33__ imagined the things to come: devices that humankind will invent to make life easier. But in so many instances, those promises have not come to pass. The biggest __34__ are in travel --- jet packs, hoverboards and flying cars are yet to fill the skies. Air travel has become significantly cheaper and wide-reaching, but only using distinctly 20th-century technology: commercial aeroplanes are much the same as they were 50 years ago.
__35__ is what science fiction frequently delivers, but its arrival in the real world has been unpredictable. Domestic robots with a degree of intelligence are yet to __36__, though robotic vacuum cleaners are commercially available --- even if they are fairly hopeless. Video calls have now arrived --- sort of --- but conferencing on Skype is still dissatisfying. In mobiles, video call technology is now available, so when your dad rings to update you on his vegetable patch, he’ll be able to __37__ your look of boredom.
The truth is that we quickly __38__ the astonishment of invention; our wonderment is soon replaced with the feeling of nothing new. We should try to stay in that period of __39__. It is astonishing that the contents of every book ever written can be stored in a small box. Or that you can carry 10,000 albums on an object kept in your pocket. Or that almost all the information in the world can be accessed almost anywhere at any time. All these __40__ are dependent on the emergence of the microchip and its place in computers. Yet sci-fi didn’t __41__ the dominance of the computer in running our lives.
But the real area where __42__ far outstrips predictions is medicine. Sure, fiction would describe humans as ‘disease-free’ but without going into detail. “Disease-free” humans are still absent, but the progress made in __43__ life is breathtaking. With
relative ease, we can sequence anyone’s genome (基因组), giving a read-out entire genetic code. This means we can find out the underlying genetic cause of thousands of diseases in minutes.
Photosensitive implants now exist that can replace damaged cells in the retina (视网膜) and can thus __44__ sight to the blind. While the inventions of science fiction can show great ideas we’d like to happen, nothing __45__ the inventiveness of people in the real world.
31.A. turned B.lied C.objected D.talked

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)
“It is surprising that people do not believe that there is imagination in science,” Nobel-winning physicist Richard Feynman once told an audience. Not only is that view apparently false, but “it is a very interesting kind of imagination, unlike that of the artist. The great difficulty is in trying to imagine something that you have never seen, that is consistent in every detail with what has already been seen, and that is different from
what has been thought of: furthermore, it must be definite and not a vague proposal.”
Imagination takes the stuff of observation and experience and recombines them into something new.
In 1968, the high jump was a well-established sport. You would run, you would jump, and you would make your way over a pole in one of several ways. In older days, you’d likely use the scissors, scissoring out your legs as you glided over, but by the sixties you’d probably be using the straddle or the belly roll, facing down and basically rolling over the bar. Whichever style you used, you’d be facing forward when you made your jump. Imagine try to jump backward. That would be ridiculous.
Dick Fosbury, however, didn’t think so. All through high school, he’d been developing a backward-facing style, and now, in college, it was taking him higher than it ever had. He wasn’t sure why he did it. He didn’t care what anyone else was doing. He just jumped with the feeling of the thing. People joked and laughed. Certainly, no one expected him to make the U.S. Olympic team--let alone win the Olympics. But win he did, setting American an Olympic records with his 7-foot-4.25-inch (2.24-meter) jump, only 1.5 inches short of the world record.
With his unprecedented technique, called the Fosbury Flop, Fosbury did what many other more traditional athletes had never managed to accomplish: he revolutionized, in a very real way, an entire sport. Even after his win, expectations were that he would remain a lone bird, jumping in his esoteric style while the rest of the world looked on. But since 1978 no world record has been set by anyone other than a flopper; and by 1980, thirteen of sixteen Olympic finalists were flopping across the bar. To this day, the flop remains the dominant high jump style. The straddle looks old and awkward in comparison. Why hadn’t anyone thought of replacing it earlier?
Fosbury wasn’t even a particularly talented jumper. It was all in the approach.
46.According to Richard Feynman, imagination in science ________________.
A.is similar to that of the artist
B.is definite and detailed
C.is considered obvious to most people
D.is an unclear thought
47.Which of the following is TRUE about Fosbury according to the passage?
A.He improved the feeling of jumping in high school.
B.He was not sure why others laughed at him.
C.He set a world record by jumping in a backward-facing way.
D.He won a gold medal at the Olympics.
48.Why does the author say Fosbury revolutionized the high jump?
A.Because he introduced a brand-new technique.
B.Because he inspired many other high-jumpers to develop their own styles.
C.Because he greatly improved the straddle.
D.Because he was the most talented flopper of all time.
49.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A.Backward, awkward.
B.Life of the first flopper.
C.Higher with imagination.
ugh last, laugh best.
Section C
Directions: Read the following passage. 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.
Christian Arno: the story of his success
It was at the tender age of seven that Christian Arno, British entrepreneur and founder of the online translation service , put his first plan for making money into practice. His scheme was to buy penny candies and resell them to his classmates for two cents a piece. However, the venture came to an end when one of the mothers found out about it and thought it “inappropriate.” Arno had to shut down immediately.
____50____ Despite lasting only two weeks as a language assistant in Pavia, northern Italy, Arno was allowed to stay with full room and board. This meant he had a lot of free time on his hands, so he set up a website offering translation services with his friend, Jos Shepherd. Although they didn’t make much money, the business gave them both an insight into working online. That same year, Arno became financially more successful when he sold some shares he had purchased for a huge profit of
$23,000.
___51___ However, he worked hard and learned fast, earning himself a reputation for speed and accuracy. After 18 months he had enough business to set up an office in New Zealand so that he could offer clients 24-hour service. ___52___ One of his larger clients started spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on translation, so he was able to invest in more complicated technology. This brought in even more business and led to him opening yet more offices in China, Romania, and Panama.
The company nowadays is a far cry from the website Arno and Shepherd created in Italy, but that experience was invaluable in showing them the potential of their idea. Arno’s advice for others is; “___53___”
