read read my own handwriting,”my own handwriting,” the young woman explained. “It‟s b est if I take best if I take a picture of your writing so I can understand the notes.”That remark started a class-wide conversation about taking a picture instead of taking notes. For those in the photo-taking camp, motivations extended beyond their inability to comprehend their own handwriting. Some took pictures of notes because they knew their phone was a safe place to store material. They might lose paper, they reasoned, but they wouldn‟t lose their phones. Some took photos because they wanted to record exactly the manner in which I had noted information on the board. Others told me that during class they liked to be able to listen to the discussion attentively. Yet the use of cameras as note takers, though it may be convenient, does raise significant questions for the classroom. Is a picture an effective replacement for the process of note-taking? Instructors encourage students to take notes because the act of doing so is more than merely recording necessary information

I imagine children must be rather relieved to be thrown out, for in the process of being cared for, he or she is reluctantly carried about in a hide sling (背婴儿带) wherever the mother goes. Whenever themother is in her field, she loosens the sling and lets the baby to the ground none too slowly, and laughs if it is hurt. Then she goes about her business, leaving the child there, almost hoping that some fierce animals will come along and carry it off. This sometimes happens. Such behaviour does not endear children to theirparents or parents to their children.Many of you probably reacted to the Ik with some horror and shock. It is very tempting to conclude that these these people people people are are are primitive, primitive, primitive, savage savage savage and and and inhuman, inhuman, inhuman, and and and that that that their their their concept concept concept of of of the the the ……family

浦东新区2016学年度第二学期教学质量检测高三英语试卷II. Grammar and Vocabulary (20%)Section AOver the past sixteen years of my life, I have grown to be a very independent person. This can be both good and bad in the sense that I am able to do things (21)________ my own, yet at times struggle with taking advice from others. Sometimes, hearing what other people have to say can be one of the hardest things to do. However, getting advice from (22)________ cares about you can impact your life in great ways. Because of this, I began realizing that my mom’s guidance throughout my life has never steered me wrong. This is why I believe you (23)________ always listen to your mother.This belief has not been easy (24)________ (realize). It has taken endless amounts of time in which I decided to go against what my mom had to say, and later discovered that she was right. I think we can all agree that (25)________ (admit) your mom was right is always a hard thing to do. But what else are you supposed to say (26)________ you are standing outside in the freezing cold, shaking because you did not wear that extra jacket you (27)________ (tell) to wear?When I was twelve years old, I had the experience of a lifetime. However, I would have missed out if it hadn’t been for my mom. She had been planning a trip to Turkey for work, (28)________ (offer) to bring my sister and me along with her. When I first heard about this opportunity, I was terrified. Never had I been out of the c ountry before. I thought to (29)________, “Is she crazy?” My mom then began to say, “(30)________ is known to all, one needs to step out of his comfort zone and try something new in order to encounter larger-than-life ideas.” After going back and forth wit h my own thoughts, I decided to go on the trip. And boy, she was right. Going to Turkey will forever be one of my greatest memories and I am thankful I got to visit that amazing country.Section BThe New York Times has changed a lot in the past 10 years, embracing digital subscriptions and growing into online video and specialty areas like cooking. It has not been enough to prepare the company for the future, according to the paper’s own 2020 report __31__ on Tuesday.“While the past two years have been a time of significant innovation, the pace must speed up,” the authors wrote in the opening of the report. “Too often, digital progress has been accomplished through workarounds; now we must tear apart the barriers. We must __32__ between mission and tradition: what we do because it’s essential to our values and what we do because we’ve always done it.”The report indicates how far the paper has come in __33__ itself to the digital age while also pointing out what needs to be done.The areas that need __34__ are focused on the newsroom, particularly in the tools and internal structures that journalists must deal with to produce their work.Many of the report’s recommendations are __35__ to anyone who closely follows the Times or newspapers in general: A(n) __36__ away from print’s outsized importance on the newsroom’s operations, better ways to include multimedia in stories and a renewed effort at creating a more diverse newsroom with a variety of skills.The paper has an ongoing goal that started in 2016 of doubling digital revenue to $800 million by 2020. “To __37__ our future, we need to expand considerably our number of subscribers by 2020.”The report also calls into question the formats on which the Times—and most other newspapers—rely, namely a mi x of news stories and features that are text heavy. “Too much of our daily report remains __38__ by long texts.” the report states.The report stresses that the Times should do more to educate readers. “Our readers are __39__ for advice from The Times. To o often, we don’t offer it, or offer it only in print-centric forms.” the report states. Perhaps the most interesting part of the report comes at the very bottom in the form of comments from the paper’s own journalists. Reporters said they would like to se e __40__ in choice of how to tell certain stories, and some disagreement about what kind of tone the Times should embrace going forward.III. Reading Comprehension (45%)Section AHave We Reached Peak Trade?Globalization is usually defined as the free movement of people, goods and capital. It’s been the most important __41__ force of modernity. Until the financial crisis of 2008, global trade grew twice as fast as the global economy itself. __42__, thanks to both economics and politics, globalization as we have known it is developing fast.The question is: Have we reached peak trade? If you think of it in terms of the flow of digital data and ideas, no—it’s actually __43__. Indeed, the cross-border flow of digital data—e-commerce, web searches, online video, machine-to-machine interactions—has grown 45 times larger since 2005 and is __44__ to grow much faster than the global economy over the next few years.There’s no doubt globalization has increased wealth at both global and national levels. But free trade can also widen the __45__ gap within countries, in part by creating concentrated groups of economic losers. Free trade has made goods and services cheaper for Americans—think of all the inexpensive Chinese-made goods at Walmart—but it hasn’t always __46__ their job prospects. From 1990 to 2008, the areas most __47__ to foreign competition saw almost no net new jobs created. That’s one reason the new generation of Americans is on track to be _-48__ than their parents.The gains of free trade do not al ways __49__ the losses. This realization that the tide of __50__ doesn’t raise all boats has fed into the anti-free trade movement. And companies themselves are __51__ globalization.Nevertheless, there is one reason to be __52__ about the future of globalization—at least, the new information-based kind. McKinsey data estimate that the companies responsible for the jump in flows of digital goods, services and information will include a much higher proportion of small businesses than in the past.

Half way through entering the question, Google returned a list of the most popular searches in the world. At the top of the list was “How to keep him interested.”It surprised me a lot. I scanned several of the countless articles about how to be sexy and sexual, when to bring him a beer versus a sandwich, and the ways to make him feel smart and superior.And I got angry.Little One, it is not, has never been, and never will be your job to “keep him interested.”Little One, your only task is to know deeply in your soul—in that unshakeable place that isn’t upset by rejection and loss—that you are worthy of interest.If you can trust your worth in this way, you will be attractive in the most important sense of the world: you will attract a boy who is both capable of interest and who wants to spend his one life investing all of his interest in you.Little One, I want to tell you about the boy who doesn’t need to be kept interested, because he knows you are interesting.I don’t care if he can’t play a bit of golf with me—as long as he can play with the children you give him and revel in all the glorious and frustrating ways they are just like you. I don’t care if he doesn’t follow his wallet—as long as he follows his heart and it always leads him back to you. I don’t care if he is strong—as long as he gives you the space to exercise the strength that is in your heart. I couldn’t care less how he votes—as long as he wakes up every morning and daily elects you to a place of honor in your home and a place of respect in his heart. I don’t care about the color of his skin. I don’t care if he was raised in this religion or that religion or no religion.Little One, if you come across a man like that and he and I have nothing else in common, we will have the most important thing in common: You.Because in the end, Little One, the only thing you should have to do to “keep him interested” is to beyou.Your eternally interested guy,Daddy56. What shocked Daddy when he was surfing on the Internet?A. Girls’ knowing nothing about trusting themselves.B. Girls’ giving priority to finding ways to please boys.C. Girls’ bringing foods and drinks to boys from ti me to time.D. Girls’ being upset by being rejected constantly.57.

Smart Tech(C)On the occasional clear-frost autumn night, I was hiking through the dark forest with my GMO wolf. Yes, my best friend is a genetically modified organism（转基因生物）; deliberate selection has produced the blunt-toothed, small-pawed wonder that walks by my side.Our world is changing rapidly. In the last five decades, global population has fully doubled, with 3.7 billion hungry mouths added to our planet. During this same time span, the amount of land suitable for agriculture has increased by only 5%. Miraculously, this did not result in the great global famine（饥荒）one might have predicted.How do scientists modify a plant so that it makes more food than its parents did? We could treat each harvest like a litter of wolf pups and select only plants bearing the fattest, richest seeds for the next season. This was the method our ancestors used to engineer rice, corn and wheat from the wild grasses they encountered.During my childhood, advances in genetic technologies allowed scientists to identify and clone thegenes responsible for repressing stem growth, leading to shorter, stronger stalks that could bear more seed—the high-yield crops that feed us today. The 21st century has brought with it a marvelous new set of high-tech tools with which to further quicken the process of artificial selection. Plant geneticists can now directly edit out or edit in sections of DNA using molecular scissors. We can minimize a plant’s we aknesses while adding to its strengths, and we don’t have to wait for seasons to pass to test the result.It is the transformative potential of these techniques to quickly supply the next-generation crops required for upcoming climate change that has led me to believe in the safety and function of GMO plants in agricultural products. We need more GMO research to feed the world that we are creating.I love the quiet forest that stands between my lab and my home. But I know that as a scientist, I am responsible first to humanity. We must feed, shelter and nurture one another as our first priority, and to do so, we must take advantage of our best technologies, which have always included some type of genetic modification. We must continue as before, nourishing the future as we feed ourselves, and each year plant only the very best of what we have collectively engineered. I keep the faith of my ancestors each night whenI walk through the forest to my lab, and my GMO wolf does the same when she guards my way home.63. Why does the author mention the wolf in the 1st paragraph?A. To advise people to keep wolves as petsB. To persuade readers to welcome the new technologyC. To change people’s attitude towards wolvesD. To introduce a technology used to humans’ advantage64. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. GMO technology will help weatherproof future crops.B. With GMO technology, famine has been eliminated.C. Artificial selections make high-yield plants possible.D. The author believes technology should contribute to future generations.65. What can be learned about modifying a plant?A. It takes scientists seasons to know whether their selection is correct.B. One way for ancestors to change a plant was to clone some genes.C. Modern techniques help speed up the artificial selection by altering DNA.D. The general public show strong faith in GMO plants.66. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. GMO Technology—Turning Wolves into the Best PetsB. Engineered Food—Feeding Future GenerationsC. Engineered Food—To Be or Not To BeD. GMO Technology—A Driving Force in World PeaceSection CCharity—Humanity’s most kind and generous desire—is a timeless and borderless virtue, dating at least to the dawn of religious teaching. Philanthropy（慈善行为）as we understand it today, however, is a distinctly American phenomenon, inseparable from the nation that shaped it. From colonial leaders to modern billionaires like Buffett, Gates and Zuckerberg, the tradition of giving is woven into the national DNA.67. ________ Benjamin Franklin, an icon of individual industry and frugality（节俭）even in his own day, understood that with the privilege of doing well came the price of doing good. When he died in 1790, Franklin thought to future generations, leaving in trust two gifts of 1,000 Ib. of sterling silver—one to the city of Boston, the other to Philadelphia. According to his instruction, a portion of the money could not be used for 200 years.While Franklin’s gifts lay in wait, the tradition he established evolved alongside the young nation. 68. ________ Often far less famed men and women have played a cr itical role in philanthropy’s evolution. One of my personal heroes is Julius Rosenwald, who helped construct more than 5,300 schools across the segregated（种族隔离）South and opened classroom doors to a generation of African-American students.69. ________ The answer is not just to benefit others. Tax reduction, for one, encourages the rich people to give. And philanthropy has long helped improve the public image of everyone from immoral capitalists to the new tech elite. More troubling, however, are the foundational problems that make philanthropy so necessary. Just before his death, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wrote, “Philanthropy is praise-worthy, but it must not cause the philanthropist to overlook the circumstances of economic injustice which make philanthro py necessary.”Franklin’s gifts represent a broader principle. We are guardians of a public trust, even if our capital came from private enterprise, and our most important obligation is ensuring that the system works more equally and more justly for more people. 70. ________ America’s greatest strength is not the fact of perfection, but rather the act of perfecting.IV. 71. Summary Writing (10%)Every year, more and more parents complain to their children’s schools about PE. They believe that their child ren shouldn’t have to participate in physical activity if they don’t want to . Supporters of PE, however, believe that it is a crucial element of all-round schooling and our society’s well-being. They insist PE in schools remains one of the few places by which the youth can be forced to participate in aerobic exercise.Firstly, they believe that participation in sport promotes health. In fact physical education is a springboard for involvement in sport and physical activities throughout life. Government is, or should be, concerned with the health of its citizens. Encouraging physical activity in the young through compulsory PE fights child obesity and contributes to forming lifelong habits of exercise. This doesn’t have to be throughtraditional team sports; increasingly schools are able to offer exercise in the form of swimming, gymnastics, dance, etc.Besides, physical education helps to develop character and the mutual（相互的）respect required to succeed in an adult environment. Playing team sports builds character and encourages students to work with others, as they would be expected to do in most business or sporting environments. Sport teaches children how to win and lose with good grace and builds a strong school spirit through competition with other institutions. It is often the experience of playing on a team together that builds the strongest friendships at school, which endure for years afterwards.Finally, the pursuit for national sporting achievement begins in schools. If schools don’t have compulsory PE, it is much harder to pick out, develop and equip athletes to represent the country on a wider stage. However, it’s much easier to find suitable individuals with a full sports program in every school.V. Translation (15%)72. 正巧这几天有空，去公园散步如何？(happen)73. 一副油画赠予了该美术馆，以纪念两个城市间的珍贵友谊。

This wisdom, as author Jennifer Kahnweiler makes clear in her new book, The Genius of Opposites, is 31 correct in the sense that cooperation is often going to be difficult, filled withbattles and miscommunications, and sometimes deliberate 32 .Somehow, however, the introvert-extrovert partnerships produced 33 results. The key tosuch success, according to Kahnweiler, is the five-step process at the heart of her book.differences. If introverted and The first step, Kahnweiler argues, is to 34 each other’sextroverted people want to partner, they have to realize they will never change the personality of theother person. Instead, each partner has to make a conscious effort to understand the other.The second step is that battles don’t have to be avoided. Instead, they can be the means through which each partner is challenged by the other; resulting in solutions that are better than those that mighthave been developed 35 .The third step is to cast the character. Because there are two very different personalities in the partnership, partners should take on the roles that best fit their 36 personalities.is to 37 the dislike. Two people with opposite personalities must Kahnweiler’s fourth stepwork on learning to respect and like each other as much as possible.The fifth and final step is that each can’t offer everything. Introvert-extrovert consulting partnerships are often powerful because neither partner could offer customers all they want—but thetwo partners working together are able to 38 a much more various but complementary (互补的)product or service.For each step, Kahnweiler covers why that particular step is important. Also, Kahnweiler writes, amajor conflict can actually be a turning 39 in the relationship, paving the way to a productive cooperation. However, battles can also deal fatal blows to introvert-extrovert cooperation. If partnersdon’t bring out the obvious problems, the result can 40 destroy the partnership.4The Genius of Opposites is filled with stories of conflicts, most resolved through an effort at communication and a foundation of respect.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, Cand D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The Advantages of an AgendaAn agenda is a list of topics to be introduced and discussed during a meeting. Agendas generallyinclude a reading of the last meeting’s minutes or notes, relevant announcements, a review of the topics for discussion and a roll call. Although agendas take time to set up, in the long run they can 41time and resources.Agendas provide an outline of discussion topics. The outline 42 the chairman or members ofthe meeting forgetting important topics to introduce. When all topics are thoroughly discussed,valuable decisions can be made as a group during the meeting instead of 43 making plans outsidethe meeting.Agendas provide an opportunity to 44 members through announcements about criticalevents, goals and tasks. Agendas enable members who might not have access to everyone in the organization to announce important news and hear news of interest. Without an agenda, announcementsmay not be communicated to all the members, which can result in 45 . Agendas also summarize46 meetings to help members review the progress made and 47 the focus for the currentmeeting.Agendas generally mention items to be discussed for the next meeting. This gives the members achance to 48 the discussion topics before the meeting. At many meetings, outspoken membersare more than eager to participate while reserved individuals may be more 49 . However, knowingwhat is going to be discussed enables members to research topics of interests, 50 how the topicsapply to their area and then make thoughtful, quality contributions at the meeting.An agenda prioritizes the most important activities, 51 productivity and focuses themembers. The mere presence of an agenda creates a formal atmosphere and discourages members from52 time. The agenda prepares the chairman and encourages consistency (一致性) and organization.An agenda also sets the objectives and gives the members a goal. This organizes the thoughts of themembers, direction of the meeting and the action after the meeting.A collection of past agendas is an ideal 53 for external and internal institutions, organizations and the public for viewing the progress of your organization. The documentation helps5the public and organization members assess 54 decisions, remind them of previous events or important figures and set feasible goals. The roll call also helps administration determine the most dedicated members by counting 55 and reviewing contributions to the meeting. This can help with decisions on which members to promote or assign the role of addressing the public.41. A. take B. limit C. save D. invest42. A. finds B. suggests C. sets D. prevents43.

At the Church of the Trinity in Cherbourg on Christmas Day 1892, he had his first publicperformance as a composer with the performance of his Andante for string trio and organ.That success encouraged Roussel to write a wedding march, and one of his fellow naval officersoffered to show it to an outstanding conductor, Edouard Colonne. When Roussel’s friend returned the manuscript (手稿), he reported that Colonne had advised Roussel to give up his naval career anddevote his life to music.Not long afterward, at the age of 25, Roussel did just that. He applied the self-discipline,conciseness, and spirituality that he had developed in the navy to his composing and became a majorforce in twentieth century French music. As for Eduoard Colonne’s inspiring advice that Rousseldevote his life to music—Roussel’s navy friend later admitted that he had made it up and that he hadnever even shown Roussel’s manuscript to the conductor.56. From ―a wayward start‖ in Paragraph 1, we know Albert Roussel’s composing career _____.A. was a great success at firstB. was inspired early in every wayC. was unpredictable in the beginningD. was a happy one because of a lie57. Who first brought music to Roussel’s life?A. His mother.B. His grandfather.C. His piano teacher.D. His fellow naval officer.58. Why did Roussel join the Navy?A. He didn’t want to live with his mother’s sister.B. He loved the sea because of his holidays.C. He wanted to practice music with his friends.D. He thought it could help him create music.59. The following factors except _____ led to his success as a composer.A. his love for musicB. the conductor’s inspiring adviceC. his navy friend’s lieD. the good qualities acquired in the navy( B)GETTING A GRANTWho pays?The local education authority (LEA) for the area in which the student is living.Who can get this money?7Anyone who gets a place on a first degree course, although a student who has already attended acourse of advanced further education may not. Students must also have been resident in the UKfor at least three years, which can exclude some students from overseas.SPECIAL CASESIf a student has worked before going to college?A student who is 26 or more before the course starts and who has worked for at least three of the615 atprevious six years will get extra money –￡155 a year if 26, increasing to a maximum of ￡29 or more.If a student is handicapped?500 to help meet extra expenses – such as buying a tape recorder for a blindLEAs will give up to ￡student, extra heating or special food.Banking?Most of the big banks offer special services to students who open accounts (in the hope that theywill stay with the bank when they become rich officials). A student won’t usually have to pay ban100 orcharges as long as the account stays in credit. Some banks allow students to overdraw by ￡so, and still don’t make charges (though they do charge interest).60. The underlined phrase ―a grant‖ in the first line most probably means _____.A. bank interestB. a credit cardC. an education feeD. financial aid61. A 31-year-old nurse wishes to qualify as a doctor at a university. She has worked since she was 25.How much extra money will she get a year?A.None.B. ￡155.C. ￡615.D. ￡515.62. A big bank offers a new student special services because _____.A. they need student accounts badlyB. they charge students extra interestC. they know he can get money regularlyD. they hope he’ll be a potential customer(C)Publicity offers several benefits. There are not costs for message time or space. An ad inprime-time television may cost $250,000 to $5,000,000 or more per minute, whereas a five-minutereport on a network newscast would not cost anything. Publicity reaches a mass audience within a shorttime and new products or company policies are widely known.Credibility about messages is high, because they are reported in independent media. A newspaperreview of a movie has more believability than an ad in the same paper, because the reader associates8independence with objectivity. Similarly, people are more likely to pay attention to news reports than to ads. For example, Women’s Wear Daily has both fashion reports and advertisements. Readers spend time reading the stories, but they skim through the ads. Furthermore, there may be 10 commercials during a half-hour television program or hundreds of ads in a magazine. Feature stories are much fewerin number and stand out clearly.Publicity also has some significant limitations. A firm has little control over messages, their timing, their placement, or their coverage by a given medium. It may issue detailed news releases and find only portions mentioned by the media, and media have the ability to be much more critical than a firm would like.For example, in 1982, Procter & Gamble faced a massive publicity problem over the meaning ofits 123-year-old company logo. To fight this negative publicity, the firm had a spokesperson appear on Good Morning America to disprove the rumor(谣言). The false rumors were temporarily put to rest. However, in 1985, publicity became so troublemaking that Procter & Gamble decided to remove thelogo from its products.A firm may want publicity during certain periods, such as when a new product is introduced ornew store opened, but the media may not cover the introduction or opening until after the time it wouldaid the firm. Similarly, media determine the placement of a story; it may follow a report on crime or sports. Finally, the media decide whether to cover a story at all and the amount of coverage to be devoted to it.63. All of the following advantages of publicity are mentioned EXCEPT _____.A. time savingB. attentivenessC. profitabilityD. credibility64. Compared with ad, news report or featuring stories are more _____.A. believableB. clearC. dependentD. subjective65. The example of ―Procter & Gamble‖ is given to show _____.A. the efficient way of disproving rumorsB. the importance of a spokespersonC. the interaction between firms and mediaD. the negative effect of publicity66. What’s the author’s attitude towards publicity?A. Doubtful.B. Objective.C. Passive.D. Supportive.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.A. The discount is by far the better, but the supposedly clever students viewed them as equivalent.B. So retailers often take advantage of shoppers’ preference for discounting.9C. One is to confuse them with double discounting.D. The main reason is that most people are useless at fractions (分数).E. They even control some irrelevant factors to make the studies more convincing.F. Marketing types can draw lessons beyond just pricing, says Mr Rao.The Psychology of DiscountingWhen retailers (零售商) want to persuade customers to buy a particular product, they typicallyoffer it at a discount. According to a new study to be published in the Journal of Marketing, they aremissing a trick.A team of researchers, led by Akshay Rao of the University of Minnesota’sCarlson School of Management, looked at consumers’ attitudes to discounting. Shoppers, they found, much prefer getting something extra free to getting something cheaper. 67 .Consumers often struggle to realize, for example, that a 50% increase in quantity is the same as a33% discount in price. They overwhelmingly assume the former is better value. In an experiment, the researchers sold 73% more hand lotion (护手霜) when it was offered in a bonus pack than when it carried an equivalent discount.This numerical blind spot remains even when the deal clearly favours the discounted product. Inanother experiment, this time on his undergraduates, Mr Rao offered two deals on loose coffee beans:33% extra free or 33% off the price. 68 .Studies have shown other ways in which retailers can exploit consumers’ mathematical illiteracy.69 . People are more likely to see a bargain in a product that has been reduced by 20%, and then byan additional 25%, than one which has been subject to an equivalent, one-off, 40%reduction.70 . When advertising a new car’s efficiency, for example, it is more convincing to talk about the number of extra miles per gallon it does, rather than the equivalent percentage fall in fuel consumption.There may be lessons for regulators too. Even well-educated shoppers are easily foxed. Sending everyone back to school for maths refresher-courses seems out of the question. But more noticeably displayed unit prices in shops and advertisements would be a great help.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passagein no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.An Italian company has told staff to stop sending any internal emails for a week in an effort toreduce stress levels.10Home textiles (纺织品) company Gabel, based in the northern Como region, asked an expert tointerview its employees about what their main concerns were at work, the local La Provincia di Comowebsite reports. Many said that managing the huge volume of internal emails was a burden during thesomewhat ironicallyworking day. That made the company’s management propose a solution, which—(讽刺地)—was sent to all staff in an email.―Together we will begin the following experiment, which will take us back in time to when peopleweek until 13managing director Emilio Colombo wrote, declaring an ―email free‖　talked more,‖　November. ―We invite you not to use email for internal communications (between colleagues at thesame location), in favour of a more direct and immediate contact.‖The company’s president, Michele Moltrasio, tells the BBC it hasn’t been easy to stop such adeep-rooted practice, even temporarily, but that employees have welcomed the challenge. ―They arerediscovering the pleasure of meeting and talking rather than writing,‖ he says. And that includes MrMoltrasio, who is avoiding emails along with everyone else. ―Even if from next week we all go back to using email, these days of experimentation are very worthwhile, to understand and rethink the methodsand pace of working,‖ he says.Several recent studies have found that a high volume of emails raises stress levels at work. In 2013,researchers said that a full inbox (收件箱) led to peaks in people’s blood pressure and heart rate. Andlast year, a study at the University of British Columbia found that limiting email use during the daylowered people’s stress levels significantly.11第Ⅱ卷（共40分）I.

In fact, pedestrians might end up with the run of the place.In a new study published in the Journal of Planning Education and Research, Millard-Ball looks at the __31__of urban areas where a majority of vehicles are “autonomous” or self-driving. It’s a phenomenon that’s not as far off as one might think.“Autonomous vehicles have the potential to __32__ travel behavior,” Millard-Ball says. He uses game theory to __33__ the interactions between pedestrians and self-driving vehicles, with a focus on yielding at crosswalks.Because autonomous vehicles are by design risk-averse, Millard-Ball's model suggests that pedestrians will be able to act with impunity, and he thinks autonomous vehicles may facilitate a shift towards pedestrian-oriented urban neighborhoods. However, Millard-Ball also finds that the __34__ of autonomous vehicles may be hampered by their strategic disadvantage that slows them down in urban traffic.“Pedestrians routinely play the game of chicken,” Millard-Ball writes. Crossing the street, even at a marked crosswalk without a traffic signal, requires a probability calculation: what are the odds of survival?The benefit of crossing the street __35__, instead of waiting for a gap in traffic, is traded off against the probability of injury or even death. Pedestrians know that drivers are not interested in running them down -- usually. But there is the chance a driver may be __36__, or drunk.Self-driving cars are __37__ to obey the rules of the road, including waiting for pedestrians to cross. They could provide the most __38__ transformation in urban transportation systems. Parking, street design, and transportation service networks are likely to be revolutionized. In his latest study, Millard-Ball suggests that the potential benefits of self-driving cars -- avoiding __39__ of traffic and traffic accidents -- may be outweighed by the drawbacks of an always play-it-safe vehicle that slows traffic for everybody.“From the point of view of a passenger in an automated car, it would be like driving down a street filled with __40__ five-year-old children,” Millard-Ball writes.Alternatively, planners could seize the opportunity to create more pedestrian-oriented streets. Autonomous vehicles could start a new era of pedestrian domination.III. Reading Comprehension (45%)Section 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.Everybody loves to hate invasive species. The international list of invasive species—defined as those that were introduced by humans to new places, and then __41__ — runs to over 4,000. In Australia and New Zealand hot war is fought against introduced creatures like cane toads (蔗蟾蜍) and rats.Some things that are uncontroversial (无争议的) are nonetheless foolish. With a few important exceptions, campaigns to __42__ invasive species are merely a waste of money and effort —for reasons that are partly practical and partly philosophical.Start with the practical arguments. Most invasive species are neither terribly successful nor very__43__. Britons think themselves surrounded by foreign plants. __44__, Britain’s invasive plants are not widespread, not spreading especially quickly, and often less of a(n) __45__ than vigorous native plants. The arrival of new species almost always __46__ biological diversity (多样性) in a region; in many cases, a flood of newcomers drives no native species to extinction. One reason is that invaders tend to colonise __47__ habitats like polluted lakes and post-industrial wasteland, where little else lives. They are nature’s opportunists.The philosophical reason for starting war on the invaders is also __48__. Elimination campaigns tend to be __49__ by the belief that it is possible to restore balance to nature — to return woods and lakes to the state before human __50__. That is misguided. Nature is an everlasting mess, with species constantly emerging, withdrawing and hybridizing (杂交). Humans have only quickened these processes. Going back to ancient habitats is becoming __51__ in any case, because of man-made climate change. Taking on the invaders is a(n) __52__ gesture, not a means to an achievable end.A reasonable attitude to invaders need not imply passivity. A few foreign species are truly __53__ and should be fought: the Nile perch – a fish, has helped drive many species of fish to extinction in Lake Victoria. It makes sense to __54__ pathogens(病菌), especially those that destroy whole native tree species, and to stop known agricultural pests from gaining a foothold. Fencing off wildlife reserves to create open-air ecological museums is fine, too. And it is a good idea for European gardeners to destroy Japanese plants, just as they give no apace to native harmful grasses like bindweed and ground elder. You can garden in a garden. You cannot garden __55__. That is universally accepted.41. A. multiplied B. shrunk C. disappeared D. harvested42. A. conserve B. eliminate C. investigate D. prioritize43.

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 read.(A)Jeremy Baras remembers the first time he ever saw a pop-up a restaurant. The 26-year-old entrepreneur（企业家）was on vacation in England four years ago and had to look up at the London Eye Ferries wheel to see it. Hanging above him was a capsule full of diners who were served a new course each time a revolution was made. “I thought that was the coolest thing ever”, he says. Baras, who founded in 2012 to promote the idea of pop-up restaurants in USA, has been studying them ever since.Pop-ups, which have been around since at least theearly 2000s, are open anywhere from a few hours toseveral months, but their defining feature is that they aretemporary. They may be only a tiny part of the $709billion U.S. restaurant industry, but popups have gotten aboost in recent years as a lower-cost, lower- risk way forentrepreneurs to test the waters. Some restaurant ownerssee them as a way to renew interest in existing locations.And some struggling cities, like Oakland, Calif., haveturned to them to help revitalize local economiesimpacted by the recession（衰退）.The concept has been especially popular with up-and-coming chefs who want to test-drive as a menu concept without investing a fortune in a permanent space. “Your cooks and chefs are really talented, but they’re stuck inthe back of somebody else’s kitchen cooking somebody else’s menu,” says Zach Kupperman, chief businessman officer and co-founder of Dinner Lab.Chefs in Dinner Lab cook in the middle of space, give abrief introduction about the menu and themselves —and thenbravely listen to diner feedback afterward. Pop-ups’ temporarynature also allows restaurateurs to charge a deposit to make surethe diners will show up.Of course, trends in the food industry come and go quickly,and there is no guarantee that diners won’t tire of the concept.Some entrepreneurs have resorted to even a weirder locations —in a former limestone mine, say, or at the top of a crane —to keep customers interested. Says Baras, “It's not quite part of the mainstream economy yet.”56. What does the underlined part “a revolution was made” in Paragraph One possibly mean?A. Chefs designed creative dishes.B. Diners tasted food in an innovative way.C. The capsule containing diners made a circle.D. Great changes were made in the food industry.57. Which of the following might NOT be the reasons for pop-up restaurants’ fast development?A. Being temporary features pop-up restaurants.B. Pop-up restaurant can restore local economy to prosperity.C. Business owners venture into the business with fewer risks and investments.D. Restaurant owners can make diners interested in the original restaurants again.58. Perspective chefs are drawn to pop-ups due to the fact that__________________.A. pop-ups are becoming increasingly popular with diners worldwideB. they have the desire to explore a safer way to make a livingC. their investment in pop-ups will bring them a fortune on a permanent basisD. pop-ups provide a flexible test field for talented chefs’ originality59. The writer’s propose of writing the passenger is to___________________.A. appeal to people to dine out in pop-up restaurantsB. give a brief introduction of pop-up restaurantsC. warn business owners of the appearance of pop-up restaurantsD. foresee the future of pop-up restaurants’ development(B)In four countries with fast-developing economies (BRIC) – Brazil, Russia, India, and China – the agricultural sector has become a proving ground for innovation. Juergen V oegele, a World Bank agriculture expert, predictsthat “by transforming agriculture, we will not only meet the challenge of feeding nine billion people by 2050 but do so in ways that create wealth and reduce its environmental footprint.”BRAZILSoybeans on the RisePreserving the Amazon rain forest is a top priority for Brazil.The rapid expansion of soybean and cattle farming there during the 1990s and early 2000s led to alarming rates of deforestation. Over the past ten years, however, with government support, activists and famers have protected more than 33,000 square miles of rain forest –an area equal to more than 14 million soccer fields. Saving these forests has kept 3.5 billion tons of carbon dioxide out of atmosphere.Yet even under these land restrictions, Brazil’s soybean production has increased. The country is now the world’s second largest producer of the crop. How did this happen?Farmers focused on efficiency. Using new machinery and early maturing seeds enabled them to squeeze an additional planting into the standard growing season. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Brazil’s 2014-15 soybean crop has hit a record 104.2 million tons, up 8.6 million tons from the year before, as farmers have made better use of their fields. This progress, says the World Bank’s Juergen Voegele, is an example of how “producing more food coexist with protecting the environment.”60. According to Juergen V oegele, innovation in agriculture will lead to all the following except ______.A. increased wealthB. the solution to the world’s food crisisC. less impact on natureD. the challenging of feeding the world’s population61. Which one is the appropriate number to fill in the blank in the chart?A. 95.6B. 104.2C. 14D. 8.662. What is the most important problem Brazil is faced with?A. Feeding nine billion people by 2050.B. Increasing its soybean production.C. Protecting its rain forest from deforestation.D. Enhancing its farmers’ efficiency.(C)Spain’s Literary GeniusFour centuries ago, the author of one of the greatest comedic characters in the world literature took his last breath. Miguel de Cervantes (1547-1616), the author of Don Quixote, is to the Spanish what Shakespeare is to the English and Dante is to Italians - a national literary icon.Cervantes’book is still appreciated today, hundreds of years after its publication, because it’s a wonderfully truthful comedy. Don Quixote, like human beings generally, has great difficulty distinguishing reality from imagination. Readers may laugh at his strange behavior, but when we laugh, we laugh with recognition.The book records the adventures of Alonso Quijano, an older Spanish gentleman who loves romance novels. In truth, he reads far too many romances, and they have affected his mind. Quijano is so mixed up that he decides that he must become a knight himself. Imagine a comic book fan who decides to dress up as a superhero to fight crime, and you’ll get the picture.Setting the sceneAlonso Quijano reinvents himself as “Don Quixote de La Mancha”, an aristocratic（贵族的）name that suits his ambition of being a knight. Next, since every knight needs a horse, he finds himself an old one named Rocinante. But Rocinan te is not exactly cut out for life as a knight’s horse. He’s tired from years of farm work. He’s unlikely to be of much help in any fight against an enemy.The heroes in the romances Quijano reads all had a lady to love. They were highborn, like the knights themselves. Quijano chooses Aldonza Lorenzo, a farmer’s daughter, to be his beloved. She becomes “Dulcinea del Toboso”, or “the sweet woman of Toboso”. How does Aldonza feel about Quijano’s attentions? She doesn’t feel much at all, actually. Aldonza is yet another byproduct of Quijano’s imagination, like so many things.Finding a sidekickNow comes Cervantes’ second great creation: Sancho Panza. Once servant in Quijano’s house, Panza is promoted to the role of squire（随从）, because every self-respecting knight needs a squire. Panza has a sensible head on his shoulders, and he is a foil（衬托）to his foolish master.The pair faces many adventures, but none are as heroic as a knight’s should be. We laugh, rather than cry, as we read. Quijano tries to act on behalf of justice, but he doesn’t often succeed.Cervantes’ novel inspired a word that sums up Quijano’s romantic nature: “quixotic”. In English we use the word to describe someone who is idealistic but foolish in pursuit of his ideals. It is a mark of Cervantes’ genius that he was able to identify this trait and personify it using such a great comedic character. We should appreciate him for it on this significant occasion.63. On what occasion did the author write this review?A. The 400th anniversary of the publication of Don Quixote.B. An Italian Poet, Dante’s 800th birth anniversary.C. An English genius, William Shakespeare’s 400th death anniversary.D. Miguel de Cervantes’ 400th anniversary of his death.64. Which role is Alonso Quijano most likely to identify with?A. Miguel de Cervantes.B. Don Quixote de La Mancha.C. Dulcinea del Toboso.D. Sancho Panza.65.What can be inferred from the passage?A. Don Quixote’s failure of distinguish reality from imagination amuses the readers.B. Quijano manages to bring justice to the world by means of force.C. Quijano is a Spanish aristocrat with great ambition.D. Reading romance novel will make people behave in a foolish way.66.According to the author, readers admire Cervantes and his masterpiece because .A.Cervantes is equal to Shakespeare and Dante as a national literary iconB.Quijano’s adventure is romantic and heroicC. Cervantes has a genius for perso nifying Quijano’s quixotic nature in a truthful comedy.D. Quijano’s vivid imagination has brought other minor characters to lifeSection CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.

Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Ten years ago, after 2 years as a postdoc(博士后), I found myself wondering whether I should take a different road. Up to that point, I had stuck to a pretty traditional path investigating cancer genetics, but I was losing interest in the research. At the same time, federal funding had flattened, which added to my dissatisfaction. ___67___ Then came the hard part: identifying a new career that would nurture my passion for science and allow me to make an impact with my work.As I was considering my options, I found inspiration in my first graduate school research tutor, whose work reminded me that scientists’efforts away from the bench can be incredibly powerful. But I still didn’t know exactly what I should do. ___68___ A colleague mentioned that a professor at a nearby 2-year college was training students to produce monoclonal antibodies for labs on campus. I was impressed that the professor hadtaken on this type of ambitious project with relatively inexperienced students. Curious to find out more, I set up a meeting with John and was struck by his sincerity and the way he prioritized student training above grants, publications, and personal ambition. I could also see his passion for teaching, which reminded me of the dream to become a high school biology teacher.___69___ I found a faculty position and joined John at the same quiet junior college. Now, I effectively hold two positions: classroom instructor and research co-adviser of 15 inexperienced but eager undergraduates. Both roles give me a chance to help students transform themselves, which is enormously rewarding.___70___ It’s discouraging when others see both my students and me as less worthy because we are not at universities. We sometimes struggle to get access to federal funding, scientific conferences, and other resources and opportunities. My pay is below the standard at 4-year research institutions, even though my teaching workload is greater. But my occasional frustration is relieved by the thought of the students, who I have helped train.Looking back at these 10 years, I realize how much my work on this campus has helped me grow, both as an academic and a tutor. I’m grateful that I stepped away from a traditional career path and found a way to serve both the student and research communities in my own way, modest though it may be.IV. Summary Writing (10%)Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Food is life. We eat it to grow, stay healthy, and have the energy to do everyday activities. The food we consume makes all of these things possible, but not all food is created equal. Studies have shown, for example, that children who eat a nutritious breakfast do better in school than those with a poor diet. The well-fed child is able to pay attention longer, remember more, and participate more actively in class. The findings, then, are clear. Because our food choices affect our health and behavior, we must do more than just eat; we must eat well. For many people today, though, making healthy food choices is not easy.We are surrounded by information telling us what’s good for us and what isn’t, but usually this information is more confusing than helpful. In fact, different research about the same food often produces contradictory results. In previous research on eggs, people were encouraged to limit or completely eliminate eggs from their diets to prevent dangerous diseases. Recent s tudies say eggs are good for you. It’s hard to know who to believe.Shopping for food can also be challenging. During a visit to a supermarket, we often need to make many different choices. Should you buy this cereal or that one? Regular or fat-free’ milk?Tofu or chicken? It’s hard to know which to choose, especially when two items are very similar. Many shoppers read product labels to help them decide. Indeed, many food labels are often misleading.Making healthy food choices and eating well do not have to be difficult. Doing simple things can result in a better diet and a healthier you. Urban gardening, which is becoming popular again is one such thing. On small pieces of land, neighbors are working together to grow fruit and vegetables. What are the benefits of these gardens? People have access to more fresh fruit and vegetables, especially poorer people who are less likely to spend money on these items. The food also cost less than it would in a supermarket. There are other benefits, too. Working together in the garden helps people to exercise. Urban gardens have also been used to teach childrenabout food production and healthy eating.V. Translation (15%)Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.解除病人的痛苦是医生的职责。

When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.In Asia, adults in Singapore are the best non-native English speakers.Singapore was considered to have a “Very High Proficiency” level for the first time. Tran says this improvement is because Singapore has a very strong education system.“Well, Singapore’s education system is often seen as one of the best in the worl d. If you look at other English tests like IELTS and TOEFL, Singapore is always at the top－not just in Asia, but throughout the world. It just has a very, very strong education system that focuses on quality of instruction and has extremely high standards for their students.”However, the report says Thailand and Cambodia still have low levels of English proficiency, although they have a growing tourism industry.China also increased its rank by moving from 47th to 39th place. However, it is behind many other countries in Asia. Tran says this might be the result of its large population.Tran suggests three things for countries trying to improve their English level.First is to make quality English teaching available to all citizens. Next, a country should invest in teacher training, and then invest in its English-speaking environment.“I think the number one priority would be to make sure that everybody has access to quality English instruction, and to do that, I think, is to promote teacher training, right? And make sure that you have a teacher supply that is ready to deliver the quality instruction that you need in your entire school system.“Then it’s about creating that English environment in your country. It’s having bilingual signs, having programs in English, and creating excuses for your students to speak in English, right?”The report shows that it is not easy to improve English-speaking ability country-wide, and it also is costly. But, it is clear that the economic and social benefits make it worth the investment.11. What contributes to Singapore’s success in various English tests?(A)12. Which of the following is not Tran’s suggestion of improving English level? (D)13. Why is it worthwhile to improve English ability?(B)Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.Good morning. Today we’re going to talk about the issues faced by children who have to take on adult responsibilities before they are 18.First, let me tell you a story of a kid in this situation. Let’s call him Bill. Bill’s father died before he was born, and for a few years his mother was a single parent. Then his mom remarried and had another child. Bill worked hard in school, but he struggled to help his mother take care of his younger brother.This is a common situation for children like Bill. They are forced to act like adults for a wide variety of reasons. In Bill’s case, a young brother gave him adult responses. In other situations, a parent is sick, so the child has to take care of the sick parent. They reverse roles with their own parents. When you have this role reversal, the parents are so sick that they can no longer act in their parental role. The children cook for them, shop for groceries, even dress their parents, bathe them, and put them to bed. The children make the important decision. Although kids often want to help their families, too much responsibilitycan be a burden for them. They may feel they are giving up their childhoods.Okay, so kids are forced to grow up quickly for a variety of reasons. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Well, it depends on the situation and on the child. As you might guess, the ones who suffer the most are the kids who reverse roles with a parent. Because role reversal happens in cases where the parents have the most problems and are the least capable, their children often feel more isolation. They may be embarrassed by the situation at home. They may feel confusion about how regular kids or teens are supposed to act. But many kids with adult responsibilities see their duties at home as barriers to a happy social life. They can’t go out and have fun. They feel a lot of frustration and a lot of stress.14. What did Bill do to help out in the family? (C)15. Which of the following about role reversal is not true? (C)16. What is the passage mainly concerned with? (B)Questions 17 to 20 are based on the following conversation.M: You’re going to wear out the computer’s keyboard!W: Oh, hi.M: Do you have any idea what time it is?W: About ten or ten-thirty?M: It’s nearly midnight.W: Really? I didn’t know it was so late.M: Don’t you have an early class to teach tomorrow morning?W: Yes, at seven o’clock. My com puter class, the students who go to work right after their lesson. M: Then you ought to go to bed. What are you writing, anyway?W: An article I hope I can sell.M: Oh, another of your newspaper pieces? What’s this one about?W: Do you remember the trip I took last month?M: The one up to the Amazon?W: Well, that’s what I’m writing about—the new highway and the changes it’s making in the Amazon Valley.M: It should be interesting.W: It is. I guess that’s why I forgot all about the time.M: How many articles have you sold now?W: About a dozen so far.M: What kind of newspapers buy them?W: The papers that carry a lot of foreign news. They usually appear in the big Sunday editions where they need a lot of background stories to help fill up the space between the ads.M: Is there any future in it?W: I hope so. There’s a chance I may sell t his article to a news service.M: Then your story would be published in several papers, wouldn’t it?W: That’s the idea. And I might even be able to do other stories on a regular basis. M: That would be great.17. What is the woman’s occupation?18. What is the woman writing about?19.

I can remember all the pain you’ve caused me.Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the other car? He died the next morning, too. His sister walked home from her dance lesson, and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio. She didn’t realize her brother was in the midst of it at all. She never saw him again. And it’s all because of you!Do you remember the night of my first high school party? You were with my friends. They treated you as if they were never going to see you again. I spent about two hours that night helping my friends. “I’m sorry,” they said when I called taxis for some of them and took another two to hospital. Thanks to you, the two poor girls slept in hospital beds that night.Do you remember the night you almost took my father’s life? I do! He loves you. Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me. He is addicted to（沉迷）you. You have brought him much more trouble instead of taking his problems away. One night, he drank too much of you and that nearly killed him! You just sat back and laughed when his car went like a flash through the street, crashing into two other cars. And he wasn’t the only one hurt by you that night.I wish you’d walk out of my life forever. I don’t want to have anything to do with you. Look at all the pain you’ve caused. Sure, you’ve made people happy once in a while. But the damage you’ve caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable. Stop hurting the people I love and stop hurting me, please.Sincerely,Stella88.

First of all, a heavy snow and freezing rain that had fallen the day before made the road I was driving on dangerous. The road had been cleared, (21)__________ it was still dangerously icy. (22)__________ the slippery road, I was stupidly going along (23)__________ about 50 miles an hour, instead of driving more cautiously.(24)__________ factor was a dirty green van that suddenly pulled onto the road from a small crossroad of the street about fifty yards ahead of me. The road (25)__________ (cover) with asheet of ice at that point and if I applied my brakes, I would steer into the van. So I carefully drove my car into the next lane, and though the rear of my car began skidding back and forth, for a moment I got the idea (26)__________ everything was OK as I drove past the slow-moving van.Unfortunately, the rear of my V olkswagen was heavy (27)__________ the engine was there and also because there was a new weight-lifting set (28)__________ (lay) in the back seat, the result of (29)__________ was that after I passed the van, my car turned completely around on the slippery road. I was desperately sliding down the highway backwards at 50 miles an hour. Then I slid off the road, (30)__________ (hit) a wooden fence post. My left rear taillight was broken in the process. Then I suddenly saw a telephone pole about only 6 feet to the right of me, and I realized my accident could have really been a disaster.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can onlyEveryone who knows Olivia Griffiths is impressed by her unique sense of style. Whenever she walks into a room, heads turn. Her friends wonder how she managed to get the new Mulberry handbag that no one had thought was 31 in Australia yet.The truth is that Olivia has never left Australia. But with a few clicks of her computer mouse, she can travel to shopping 32 around the world. Online shopping has 33 the consumer experience. With the help of an increasing number of online shops overseas, shoppers can now pick up interesting goods from all over the world.The biggest advantage of shopping on foreign websites is the wide range of choices available. For example, Chinese shoppers are often disappointed when Gap products are not available locall y. But now it’s possible to order these products straight from the US with a credit card and a small 34 fee. Other benefits of online shopping include 35 prices. When items are bought online from other countries, they’re often tax-free.However, when you buy things from a foreign website, things can get 36 too. So make sure you pay extra attention to protecting your rights.Sometimes it can be difficult to handle foreign websites because of the unfamiliar language. For example, the term “delivered in 1-5 working days” can be confusing for Chinese shoppers, as it doesn’t clarify whether this is the time in which the product will arrive or the time it takes for it to be 37 .The method of delivering can also determine whether you get your product at all. Unless you choose express or priority delivering, which only takes a few days to deliver but is more expensive, most 38 international delivering doesn’t offer a tracking option ― which means once your products are 39 outside of the country there’s no way of finding out where they are.The best consumers are the most sensible ones. If you’re interested in expanding your shopping 40 to foreign websites, make sure you do your research beforehand to avoid your money and products being lost on the way.III.

It is said that there are less than 20 in the world 41 , one of which is now living in the national zoo of Peru. In order to protect this jaguar, Peruvians singledout a pitch of land in the zoo for it, where there are flocks of animals for it to eat. Anyone 42 has visited the zoo praised it t o be the “Heaven of Tiger”. However, no one has ever seen the jaguar hunt the animals. What we could see is its lying in its house eating and sleeping.Some people thought the jaguar felt too lonely so they rented a female tiger to accompany it. Nevertheless, it did not make 43 . The jaguar just sometimes went out of its house with its “girlfriend” and stayed in the sun for a while.“It is 44 for the jaguar to be lazy in this environment. A tiger is the king of forest but you simply put some small 45 around him. That is why it showed no 46 to go out. Why don’t you put two wolves around him?” a visitor proposed. Others 47 him and put five panthers into its 48 . Since then, the jaguar didn’t go back to its house any more.

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 read.(A)You may have heard a lot about the people collecting stamps or coins. However, have you heard about people who like to collect paper cups or wrapping paper, things that we see every day but might not have for once looked at seriously?Jeffrey Brown, a 32-year-old NET teacher from the UK, was very interested when he first saw the paper cups used in Chinese tea restaurants in Hong Kong. “You can see these orange and white pretty cups all the time when you buy takeaway drinks at a local tea restaurant. The patterns on the outside of the cups are unique. Yet people in Hong Kong just see straight through them,” he said. “They think these paper cups look all the same, but in fact each of them looks a bit differentfrom the others. If you pay attention, you’ll notice some of these paper cups have spiral(螺旋) patterns on them, some of them have patterns of waves. There is a large number of variations.”Jeffrey now owns over 200 paper cups, all in the color of white and orange but with different designs. When people offer to buy his cups, he simply refuses.Another collector, Stacey Cheng, likes to collect sweets wrapping paper and uses it to make decorative art. Her work is among the most popular goods in local gift shops. “I started collecting them when I was 4,” she said smiling. “When I finished a sweet, I wouldn’t let my mum throw away the wrapping paper because it looked so pretty.” Now, whenever Stacey enters a snack shop, the first thing she does is to look for new products with special designs. “On ce I finish the sweets.I keep the wrapping paper. Sometimes I treat my friends to the snacks just to get the wrapping paper sooner,” she said. “They can’t be happier when I do so.”56.You may find this text in a magazine about _______.A.lifeB. travelC. historyD. science57.What does “variations” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.collectionsB. hobbiesC. differencesD. cups58.Stacey collects the wrapping paper because it _______.A.likes its patternsB. has wonderful designsC. is easy to collectD. can be a sweet memory59.This text mainly talks about _______.A.special collectionsB. patterns of wrapping cupsC. people who enjoy special collectionsD. people who are fond of wrapping cups.(B)The following safety risks may result in serious injury or death to the user of the MINI Cooper S:●This product contains small parts that are for adult assembly only.

A product handbook.(C)Foreseeing a time when a patient’s own cells may be harvested, multiplied, and fashioned into a replacement organ, researchers in Boston have successfully transplanted laboratory grown bladders (肾) into six dogs.For a century, physicians have replaced diseased or damaged bladders by removing sections of a person’s intestines (肠子) and shaping them into a substitute bladder. While the procedure offers some relief to patients, complications often develop because nature designs intestinal tissue for a purpose—absorbing nutrients—other than holding waste liquid of the body. “You start absorbing stuff that should be removed,” says Anthony Atala of the Children’s Hospital in Boston.Other physicians have turned to human-made materials to create artificial bladders, but those efforts have also run into problems. Consequently, to build a better bladder, Atala and his colleagues decided to employ the organ’s own cells.To turn the cells into an organ, the researchers first form plastic which can break down naturally into bladder-shaped shell. They then coat its outside and inside with layers of cells needed.To test this strategy, Atala’s group obtained bladder tissue from dogs and grew it into organs. After removing the dogs’ bladders, the investigators implanted(移植) the artificial ones coming from the dogs’ own cells. Within a month, the organs began to perform like normal bladders.Within three months, the plastic shells had broken down naturally, and the implanted organs were hard to distinguish from natural ones. Blood vessels(血管) quickly grew into them. Moreover, nerves seem to form proper connections with the new organs, allowing the dogs to regain normal control of their bladders. Some dogs have had the artificial bladders for nearly a year without any problems.While the bladders of dogs closely resemble those of people, Atala warns that more testing of this transplant strategy must occur before artificial bladders are ready for the clinic.63.The traditional method of shaping parts of intestines into a substitute bladder _______.A.allows the patient to absorb useless thingsB.brings the patient a lot of sufferingsC.prevents the patient from absorbing nutrientsD.worsens both the function of the intestines and the bladder64.The artificial bladders implanted in dogs _______.A.worked perfectly as long as three monthsB.began to work as well as a normal one in a few weeksC.proved to be able to work for several yearsD.did not work properly until after a month65.Why is it suggested that more testing should be made?A.What suits dogs’ bladders will also suit human bladders.B.Dogs’ bladders can be implanted into human bodies.C.Human bladders may well be different from dogs.D.Artificial bladders grown in dogs can be used for human beings.66.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.The way of turning intestines into bladders.B.The prospect of manufacturing plastic bladders.C.The history of making artificial bladders.D.The possibility of making bladders from their own cells.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.Criticism can be divided into two types.The first type is when someone expresses their disapproval. This is the type of criticism that can be the most hurtful. Parents might express their disapproval of your choice in career, friends or lifestyle. People may criticize how you dress or the way you act. It can be terribly unpleasant to tolerate(容忍) it.The second type of criticism involves pointing out your weaknesses and mistakes. No one is perfect, yet many imperfect people seem to find it extremely easy to “let us know” when we mess up. 67 And the fact that they are telling us what we already know makes it much more annoying. When people express their disapproval of some area of your life you first need to consider how you feel about it. You need to be secure in who you are and the decisions that you make. 68Remember that there is a difference between being firm in your choices and being stubborn(固执的). Don’t be stubborn. Be mature enough to truly hear what they are saying, even if you don’t agree with it at first. 69 If not, just let it go and trust that they meant well,but what they were saying is not for you. Don’t be mad at them.70 Improving yourself works best if you can see yourself from different angles. Other people have different views on what you are doing and can help you. If you are one of those people who just want to learn the hard way, try listening to some advice for a change. It might do you some good.IV. Summary WritingDirections: 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.How to deal with Whiners(抱怨不停的人) ?There are always some people radiating negativity in the work place. For them, the temperature is never right, the boss is always a fool, the canteen food is awful, and they are always treated unfairly.Career experts say such habitual complainers are highly contagious(会蔓延的) and that their attitude can easily affect an entire team in a company. “While some complaints might be reasonable, others are taken from thin air. You need to see between these different types and adopt the right strategy toward s each,” said Li Ling, HR manager at Wal-Mart (China).It’s especially hard to deal with complaints at work because you can’t just walk away or put your colleagues’ words out of mind. If you do, it will hurt your co-workers and you might be isolated. In a team-based company you belong to a group and need to behave accordingly. But don’t show too much sympathy. Listening passively to others’ complaints could damage your image and give others the impression that you agree with them. “Listen to the whiners actively,” says HR Li. “Help them find a solution, or see if there are ways to improve the situation.”Zhai Min, 24, a software engineer at Kingdee International Software Group in Shenzhen, found that 3 elderly workers liked to complain about everything, from extended working hours to cheap hotels on business trips. “I let them talk about their opinions,” she said, “They feel better when they can tell someone how they want things to be.”But listening actively is far from enough. Wang Dianxue, 27, is an Internet engineer at Beijing Push Marcom Group. His co-workers always complain that their computer systems are not working properly. “I ask about the specifics and work together with them to fix everything technically.” he said.HR managers believe that when staffs complain, it is more a matter of recognition than an actual problem. “The real problem is that the whiners don’t feel they are being taken seriously,” said Xu Jun, HR manager at Guangqi Honda Automobile Co., Ltd. “When you attentively give them ad vice or perspectives, the problem usually disappears.”V.
