Tapescript of Model Test 2Section ANews Report OneGot a smart phone? Never lose your hotel key, or even have to stop at the registration desk again. That’s the vision of a hotel chain that plans to send digital keys to guests’ phone via an app instead of making them check in and get the traditional plastic swipe cards. [1]Arriving guests could get around the front desk and go straight to their rooms. Starwood Hotels & Resorts, which owns more than 1,150 hotels in nearly 100 countries, [2]plans to install the system in the next three months at two of its hotels in the U.S.A. If all goes well, the company says it could have the feature in all of its hotels by next year. A spokeswoman said the app will initially be compatible with recent iPhone models and newer Android phones. The app will use Bluetooth technology to unlock the room with a tap.Questions 1 and 2 are based on the news report you have just heard.1. What is the main advantage of the digital key?2. How many hotels will have the system in the next three months?News Report TwoA British man accused of planning his wife’s murder while they were honeymooning in South Africa has lost a High Court appeal to block his being sent back to Britain until he is fit to [3]The judges ruled that Shrien Dewani can be sent back as long as the South African government pledges to return him to the United Kingdom should he ultimately prove unfit to be tried. Dewani’s lawyers had urged that he should not be sent back while he was unfit to stand trial. He is being treated for a depressive illness. His legal team can appeal the decision at the Supreme Court. [4]Dewani is accused of hiring a crew of criminals to killhis wife, AnniDewani, during a taxi ride in Cape Town last November, just over two weeks after their wedding.Questions 3 and 4 are based on the news report you have just heard.3. What can we learn about Shrien Dewani according to the court ruling?4. What was Dewani accused ofNews Report ThreeDozens of children at a Utah elementary school had their lunch trays taken away from them before they could take a bite this week. Salt Lake City School District officials said the trays were taken way at Utah Elementary School Tuesday [5]because some students had negative balances in their accounts used to pay for lunches. But they admit the situation should have been handled differently. Instead of regular lunches, the students were given fruit and milk. “We don’t ever let kids go without any food entirely,” said Salt Lake City Schoo l District spokesman Jason Olsen. [6]One mother said, she was “blindsided” when her daughter described what a school district official told her: “You don’t have any money in your account, so you can’t get lunch.”“There were a lot of tears,” she said, “and it was pretty upsetting for them.” [7]The district said it started notifying parents about negative account balances Monday. But the mother said she and other parents were never told about the problem.Questions 5 to 7 are based on the news report you have just heard.5. Why were some children offered only fruit and milk for lunch?6. How did parents react to the school’s way of handling the situation?7. When were the parents informed of negative balances according to the district? Section BConversation OneM: Hi, Diana. I’m surprised to see you on the city bus. Your car in the shop? W: No. [8][11]I’ve just been thinking a lot about the environment lately. So I decide the air will be a lot cleaner if we all use public transport when we could. M: I’m sure you are right. The diesel bus isn’t exactly pollution free.W: True. They’ll be running a lot cleaner soon. [9]We were just talking about that in my environmental engineering class.M: What could the city do? Install pollution filters in all their buses?W: They could, but those filters make the engines work harder and really cut down on the fuel efficiency. Instead, they found a way to make their engines more efficient.M: How?W: Well, there is a new insulator. And you spray a thick coat of it on the engine. M: An insulator?W: Yeah. [10]What it does is reflect back the heat of burning fuel. So the fuel will burn much hotter and burn up more completely.M: So a lot less unburned fuel comes out to pollute the air.W: And the bus will need less fuel. So with the saving on fuel cost, they say this will all pay for itself in just six months.Questions 8 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.8. Why does Diana take a bus that day?9. What is true about Diana?10. What justifies the installation of a new insulator in the buses according to Diana?11. What is the major concern of the woman?Conversation TwoM: Hi. I have a reservation for tonight. My name is Charles Nelson.W: Okay, Mr. Nelson. That’s a room for five under your name.M: No. No. Hold on. There must be some mistake.W: Okay. Let’s check this again. Okay, Mr. Charles C. Nelson for tonight.M: Ah. That’s the problem. [12]My name is Charles Nelson, not Charles C.Nelson. You must have two guests under the name.W: Okay. Let me check this again. Oh! Okay, here we are. Charles Nelson. A room for one for the 19th.M: Wait, wait! It’s for tonight, not tomorrow night.W: Hum. Hum. I don’t think we have any rooms fo r tonight. [13]There’s a convention going on in town, and uh, let’s see. Yeah, no rooms. Well. [14]We do have some rooms under renovation with just a roll-away bed. None of the normal stuff like a TV or working shower or toilet.M: Ah, madam. Come on. There must be something else.W: Well, let me check my computer here. Ah! There has been a cancellation for this evening. A honeymoon suite is now available.M: Great. I’ll take it.W: [15]But I’ll have to charge you two hundred fifty dollars for the night.M: Ah, madam. I should get a discount for the inconvenience.W: Well, [15]the best I can give you is a ten percent discount plus a ticket for a free continental breakfast.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.12. What was the first problem with the man’s reservation?13. Why was it hard to get a room that day?14. What do we know about the rooms under renovation in the hotel?15. What did the man get finally?Section CPassage OneTelevision now plays such an important part in so many people’s lives that it is essential for us to try to decide whether it is a blessing or a curse. Obviously television has both advantages and disadvantages. But do the former outweigh the latter?In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a comparatively cheap one. They just sit comfortably at home and enjoy endless series of programs rather than to go out in search of amusement elsewhere. Some people, however, maintain that this is precisely where the danger lies.[16]The television viewer needs to do nothing. He is completely passive and has everything presented to him without any effort on his part. Secondly, television keeps one informed about current events, allows one to follow the latest developments in science and politics. Yet here again there is a danger. The television screen itself has a terrible, almost physical fascination for us. [16]We get so used to looking at its movements, so dependent on its pictures that it begins to dominate our lives. There are many other arguments for and against television.[16]The poor quality of its program is often criticized. But it is undoubtedly a great comfort to many lonely elderly people. And does it corrupt or instruct our children? [17]I think we must realize that television in itself is neither good nor bad.[18]It is the uses to which it is put that determine its value to society.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. What is NOT mentioned as the disadvantages of TV?17. What is the speaker’s opinion on television?18. What determines the value of television to society?Passage TwoBeethoven probably began to go deaf in 1797, but he tried to keep it a secret while consulting doctors and trying various remedies, such as the application of almond oil. [19]He was extremely anxious about its possible effect on his career as a musician, and embarrassed by its effect on his social life. In the summer of 1801 he wrote to two friends expressing the anxiety that his best years would pass “without my being able to achieve all that my talent and my strength have commanded me to do”. Although tempted to kill himself, “the only thing that held me back was my art. For indeed it seemed to me impossible to leave this world before I had produced all the works that I felt the urge to compose”. It could be argued that Beethoven’s deafness helped the developm ent of his art: isolated from the world, and unable to perform, he could devote all his time to composing.[20]In 1804 his friend Stephan von Breuning, with whom he briefly shared lodgings, wrote to Franz Wegler about the terrible effect his gradual loss of hearing was having on Beethoven: it had caused him to distrust his friends, and he was becoming very difficult to be with. But above all else, Beethoven was dedicated to his art and the urge to compose remained with him throughout his life. [21]It may be that he shielded away from the commitment of marriage because he knew it would interfere with his art.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.19. Why did Beethoven try to conceal his going deaf?20. What was the result from Beet hoven’s gradual loss of hearing in 1804?21. What do we know about Beethoven in this passage?Passage ThreeOver the years, new technologies have changed farming. Change in a general direction is a trend. Yet people often recognize trends only when they consider the past. Today, we look back at some trends in American agriculture. [22]In 1920, America had more than 25 million horses and mules. Most were used for farm work. [22]Around the same time, a competitor began to appear in large numbers. Tractors could turn soil, pull loads and speed harvests — and they could do it better. More tractors meant fewer horses and mules. [23]By the 1960s, the numbers of these work animals settled to where they remain today. That is about one-tenth the levels in 1920. Yet even the demand for tractors had its limits. Their numbers have been slowly decreasing since 1982. Experts say farmers can do more with less now because of new technologies. As tractors replaced horses and mules, farmers no longer needed to raise crops to feed work animals. Oats have long been food for horses and mules. In 1954, American farmers planted over sixteen million hectares of oats. By 2000, that was down to less than one million hectares. So what did the farmers do with the extra land? More and more farmers began to plant a new crop around the same time that the tractor became popular. It was the soybean. The soybean is one of the oldest plants harvested. Yet it was not planted widely in the United States until the 1920s. By the year 2000, close to 30 million hectares were planted with soybeans. [24]It is the nation’s mostimportant crop for high-protein animal feed and for vegetable oil.[25]In fact, soybeans are the second most valuable crop grown by American farmers after corn. Much of the soybean production goes to exports.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.22. In which year did tractors begin to appear in large numbers?23. How many horses and mules did America have in the 1960s?24. What is America’s most important crop for high-protein animal feed and for vegetable oil?25. What is the most valuable crop grown by American farmers?。

As far back as the 1790s, the elderly at a senior citizens’home in England 21__________ (encourage) to spend time with farm animals. This would help patients’mental sate more than the cruel therapies 22__________ (use) on the mentally ill at the time. In recent years, scientists have finally begun to find proof 23__________ contact with animals can increase a sick person’s chance of survival and has been shown 24__________ (lower) heart rate, calm upset children, and get people to start a conversation.Scientists think that animals companionship is beneficial 25__________ animals are accepting and attentive, and they don’t criticize or give orders. Animals have the unique ability to be more social. For example, visitors to nursing homes get more social responses from patients when they come with animal companions.Not only do people seem 26__________ (anxious) when animals are nearby, but they may also live longer. Studies show that a year 27__________ heart surgery, survival rates for heart patients were higher for those with pets in their homes than those without pets. Elderly people with pets make fewer trips to doctors than those without animal companions, possibly because animals relieve loneliness. Staying with animals is believed to create a peaceful state of mind, 28__________ (result) in a favourable environment for everyone.Research confirms that the findings concerning senior citizens can be applied to restless children.

Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.The iPhone X, Apple’s new smartphone, is equipped with facial recognition. 31______, its scanner can unlock the system. It requires no buttons to be pressed, being always ready to read your face. Android users can expect similar 32______ as well.For the millions of people who will soon depend on facial recognition to check their email, send a text or make a call, it will be quick, easy and pretty “cool”to use. However, as we grow 33______to the technology, we cannot become numb to the problems that come with it.Facial recognition is already used everywhere. In China, police use the technology to identify people who jaywalk (乱穿马路). In the United State, more than half of all adults are in a facial recognition database that can be used for criminal investigation. Governments, however, are not the only users of facial recognition. Retailers use the technology in their stores to identify 34______ shoplifters. One social media app in Russia allows strangers to find out who you are just by taking a photo of you.However, different users of facial recognition produce different levels of accuracy. Camera distance, lighting, facial pose all affect the accuracy. Officials at the New York Police Department, for example, have 35______ at least five misidentifications by their facial recognition system. If the iPhone’s new system is similarly 36______, no one will consider it to be acceptable security for our personal information. 37______ it probably won’t be. But for many of the systems elsewhere, mistakes and 38______ of privacy might be unavoidable.As the smartphone of choice for many users, the iPhone’s 39______ of facial recognition may encourage consumers to accept the technology elsewhere. However, even as we choose to explore the convenience facial recognition might offer, we should also be suspicious of the many ways it can be used. Facial recognition may well be 40______. Its risks need not be!III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: 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.Famous people often say that the key to becoming both happy and successful is to “do what you love.”But mastering a skill, even one that you deeply love, 41___ a huge amount of dull work. Anyone who want to master a skill must run through the cycle of practice, 42___ feedback, modification, and increasing improvement again, again and again. Some people seem able to concentrate on practicing an activity like this for years and take pleasure in their gradual improvement. Yet others find this kind of focused, time-intensive work to be 43___ or boring. Why?The difference may turn on the ability to enter into a state of “flow,”the felling of being completely 44___ in what you are doing. Whether you call it being “in the zone,”or something else, a flow state is a special experience. Since Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi developed the 45___ of flow in the 1970’s, it has been a mainstay of positive-psychology research. Flow states can happen in the course of any activity, and they are most common when a task has well-defined goals and is at a(n) 46___ skill level, and where the individual is able to 47___ their performance to clear and immediate feedback.Csikszentmihalyi suggested that those who most 48___ entered into flow states had an “autotelic personality(自带目的性人格)”—a disposition to seek out challenges and get into a state of flow. While those without such a personality see difficulties, autotelic individuals see opportunities to build skills. Autotelic individuals are receptive and open to new challenges. They are also 49___ and have low levels of self-centeredness. Such people, with their capacity for “disinterested interest”have a great advantage over others in developing their innate abilities.Fortunately for those of us who aren’t 51___ blessed with an autotelic personality, there is evidence that flow states can be 52___ by environmental factors. 53___, the learning framework prescribed by Montessori schools seems to encourage flow states.While there isn’t (yet) a pill that can turn mundane practice into a thrilling activity for anyone, it is heartening that we seem, at least to some 54___, to be able to nudge ourselves toward flow states. By giving ourselves unstructured, open-ended time, minimal 55___, and a task set at a moderate level of difficulty, we may be able to love what we’re doing while we put in the hard work practicing the things we love doing.41.A. inquires B. requires C. acquires D. gains42.A. preventable B. maintainable C. sustainable D. critical43.A. frustrating B. encouraging C. concerning D. instructing44.A. improved B. indicated C. involved D. inspired45.A. concept B. receipt C. reception D. condition46.A. alternative B. appropriate C. approximate D. sufficient47.A. make B. adopt C. adapt D. adjust48.A. fully B. really C. readily D. accidentally49.A. generous B. persistent C. courageous D. resistant50.A. addict B. advance C. advantage D. admire51.A. necessarily B. obviously C. gradually D. occasionally52.A. forbidden B. functioned C. fastened D. facilitated53.A.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.(A)The adaptation of books to the big screen is nothing new to our society. Books have become well-respected tools for creating a better Hollywood. However, films should be just as respected for their ability to create better writers.The main skill films help writers develop is attention to progress. Most directors and screenwriters know that the majority of people are not willing to sit through a five-hour film. Thus, every scene must have a purpose. This is a vital objective to keep in mind when writing a novel or short story. With most writing courses placing emphasison literary techniques, it is easy to become more invested in diction than with actually moving the plot forward. Films remind the writer that while a novel ought to have some degree of literary complexity, the goal at the end of each chapter, page, or sentence is simple: keep the story moving. Films not only help writers develop a plot, but also help writers develop specific moments within their stories. Although writing a means of expression, not all things are easy to express in writing, especially facial expressions and emotions. Films allow writers to study the bodily and emotional actions that make characters read more realistically and make stories more tempting.Lastly, sometimes it takes a film to bring about a story idea in the first place. Stop using a horribly specific or extremely uninteresting prompt. A pleasing theme or aesthetic can be enough to inspire a character or setting. As writers, whether fiction or independent, our works often arise from the things we see around us or the things we wish we could see. Nonetheless, our works also arise from the visuals that have been created for us. As literature continues to enter the film industry, perhaps we should make use of film techniques in our literature.56.Reminded by films, a writer can move the plot forward by.A.keeping in mind that every word should mean something.B.providing a description of as many details as possible.C.paying attention to further enhancing literary complexity.D.choosing the perfect word to go with his/her thought.57.According to the passage, films help writers develop in many aspects except.A.getting an improved expressivenessB.focusing on keeping the story moving.plicating their thinking and life .D.bringing in inspiration for new works.58.The word “prompt”(paragraph 3) probably means.A.a reason to write.B.a topic to start from.C.an excuse to put off working.D.an element to attract relationship.59.Which of the following statements best represents the author’s thoughts in this passage?A.book writers are the ones promoting the growth of the film industry.B.directors and screenwriters are more respected than fiction writers.C.writers should spend more time on wording rather than on other things.D.filmmaking technique could help book writers to improve themselves.(B)American AirlinesDate of Issue: 233 JAN 10Ping Luo:Thank you for choosing American Airlines/American Eagle, a member of the one world TM Alliance.

Geriatric wards are bedlam and bonkers. A toothless woman screaming when left alone, a cry that reaches the high hospital ceiling. A woman effing and blinding----the polite curtain will not protect her from the indignity of a nappy change. A woman who lives the same moment in repeat, dressed up for going home in a bright red, over the dressing grown, asking for the key to her house, saying over and over: “Am I going home today?”And though my mum, by the time she was released, knew that her life was charmed compared with the lives of the world’s refugees. It seems to me as if the plight of old people, while not a horrible as the plight of refugees, shares some of the horror. Just as we live in a society that hasn’t caught up with technology, the kind of moral choices it gives people, we also live in a world that hasn’t kept up with its ageing population. We have the advances in medical science and technology that have kept people alive longer, but not the advances in how to treat our ageing population. Society is lagging behind the old, failing and falling.There are certain small but piercing similarities between the treatment of the old and the treatment of refugees. The old are often displaced from their homes, moved out against their will; decisions are often made for them that they have no say over. Often, they are treated as fools or halfwits, crowded together in one place, given clothes that don’t belong to them, treated as a fallen tribe, incapable of any individuality. Nobody imagined my mother was a secretary of the Scottish peace movement, a primary teacher, a lifelong socialist, a witty woman. Out of hospital, my 85-year-old mum said:” going into hospital at my age puts years on you. God save from old people’s wards. You never think of yourself as old. You look across the ward and think, am I like that?”63.The treatment of the old is compared of that of the refugees in order to .A.prove they have a lot in common.B.show the terrible status of the old.C.display their similarities and differences.D.indicate that old people have to leave their home.64.We can be inferred from the passage?A.refugees lead a better life than old male patients.B.old people are ill-treated due to their loss of individuality.C.the author’s mom is capable of teaching and being a socialist in the meanwhile.D.the treatment of the ageing population doesn’t develop as science advances.65.The author’s mom felt that life in the hospital.A. made her much older.B. created her a mature woman.C. enable her to look back at life.D. let her full of gratitude to children.66.The passage mainly discussed.A.the life of refugees and old people.B.social responsibility to old women.C.improper treatment of old people.D.preparing for ageing parents.Section CDirections: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.What would happen if the world suddenly went vegetarian?People become vegetarians for a variety of reasons. Some do it to relieve animal suffering, others are because they want to pursue a healthier lifestyle. Still others are fans of sustainability or wish to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.67 And the more who make the switch, the more those perks would manifest on a global scale. Jarvis and other experts at Colombia’s International Centre for Tropical Agriculture carried out researches to see what might happen if meat dropped off the planet’s menu overnight.First, they examined climate change. Food production accounts for one-quarter to one-third of all greenhouse gas emissions from human activities worldwide, and the worst of responsibility for those numbers falls to the livestock industry. 68 In the US, for example, an average family of four emits more greenhouse gases because of the meat they eat than from driving two cars – but it is cars, not steaks, that regularly come up in discussions about global warming.69 Of the world’s approximately 12 billion acres of agricultural land,68% is used for livestock. Should we all go vegetarian, ideally we would give at least 80% of that pastureland(牧场) to the restoration of grasslands and forests, which would capture carbon and further alleviate climate change.The remaining 10 to 20% of former pastureland could be used for growing more crops to fill gaps in the food supply. 70 That’s because one-third of the land currently used for crops is dedicated to producing food for livestock – not for humans.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.Learning by Rote in the Digital AgeRote learning has become seen as an outdated method of teaching. The dictionary defines learning ‘by rote’ as: ‘from memory, without thought of the meaning; in a mechanical way’.The decline of rote learning has been quickened by technology. No one needs to memorize friends’ phone numbers or email addresses because such data is conveniently stored and accessible electronically. And why remember when and where World War Two broke out when you can find the answer on the internet in about 6 seconds? But now there are voices for a need to return to rote learning.In fact, memorizing key data is essential to learning any skill. Doctoring requires knowledge of medicine and lawyering requires knowledge of cases and laws. Of course, being able to recall things will not further your understanding of those things, but without memorizing these foundation elements, you cannot progress to a deeper understanding of a subject.While the internet and computers have weakened the need for us to remember things, it may well be that mobile learning can help bring this style of learning back to life by making it more convenient and more fun.Drilling yourself-with flashcards or by repetition-is usually hard and boring work, which is why most people need their multiplication tables to be drilled into them by teachers or parents. Rote learning without a willing third party can be a battle of discipline and motivation. But mobile learning can make those flashcards and drills more appropriate to individual study; our digital devices can challenge and inform us at the same time and also keep usmotivated, whether through game-like structures or recording our progress.Once you’ve acquired the essentials of a subject by rote learning, you will find it easier to go deeper in the application of knowledge which is important.V.
