Part III Reading Comprehension(40minutes) Section ADirections:In this section,there is a passage with ten blanks.You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage.Read the passage through carefully before making your choices.Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter.Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet2with a single line through the centre.You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.When people set out to improve their health,they usually take a familiar path:starting a healthy diet, getting better sleep,and doing regular exercise.Each of these behaviors is important,of course,but they all 26 on physical health—and a growing body of research suggests that social health is just as,if not more, important to27 well-being.One recent study published in the journal PLOS ONE,for example,found that the strength of a person’s social circle was a better28 of self-reported stress,happiness and well-being levels than fitness tracker data on physical activity,heart rate and sleep.That finding suggests that the“ 29 self”represented by endless amounts of health data doesn’t tell the whole30 .There’s also a qualified self,which is who I am,what are my activities,my social network,and all of these aspects are not31 in any of these measurements.This idea is supported by plenty of32 research.Studies have shown that social support—whether it comes from friends,family members or a spouse—is33 associated with better mental and physical health.A rich social life,these studies suggest,can lower stress levels,improve mood,encourage positive health behaviors and discourage damaging ones,boost heart health and improve illness34 rates.Social isolation,meanwhile,is linked to higher rates of physical diseases and mental health conditions. It’s a significant problem,35 since loneliness is emerging as a widespread public health problem in many countries.Section BDirections:In this section,you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it.Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs.Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once.Each paragraph is marked with a letter.Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet2.Teenagers and social networkingA.As a parent of two boys at primary school,I worry about the issues associated with teenagers and socialmedia.Newspapers are constantly filled with frightening accounts of drug addiction and aggressive behaviour supposedly caused by violent videogames.But even when these accounts touch on real concerns, they do not really reflect the great mass of everyday teenage social behaviour:the online chat,the texting, the surfing,and the emergence of a new teenage sphere that is conducted digitally.B.New technologies always provoke generational panic,which usually has more to do with adult fears thanwith the lives of teenagers.In the1930s,parents worried that radio was gaining“an irresistible hold of their children”.In the80s,the great danger was the Sony Walkman(随身听).When you look at today’s digital activity,the facts are much more positive than you might expect.”C.Indeed,social scientists who study young people have found that their digital use can be inventive andeven beneficial.This is true not just in terms of their social lives,but their education too.So if you use a ton of social media,do you become unable,or unwilling,to engage in face-to-face contact?The evidence suggests not.Research by Amanda Lenhart of the Pew Research Centre,a U.S.think tank,found that the most passionate texters are also the kids most likely to spend time with friends in person.One form of socialising doesn’t replace the other.It expands it.D.“Kids still spend time face to face,”Lenhart says.Indeed,as they get older and are given more freedom,they often ease up on social networking.Early on,the web is their“third space”,but by the late teens,it’s replaced in reaction to greater independence.They have to be on Facebook,to know what’s going on among friends and family,but they are ambivalent(有矛盾心理的)about it,says Rebecca Eynon,a research fellow at the Oxford Internet Institute,who has interviewed about200British teenagers over three years.As they gain experience with living online,they begin to adjust their behaviour,struggling with new communication skills,as they do in the real world.E.Parents are wrong to worry that kids don’t care about privacy.In fact,they spend hours changingFacebook settings or using quick-delete sharing tools,such as Snapchat,to minimise their traces.Or they post a photograph on Instagram,have a pleasant conversation with friends and then delete it so that no traces remain.F.This is not to say that kids always use good judgment.Like everyone else,they make mistakes—sometimes serious ones.But working out how to behave online is a new social skill.While there’s plenty of drama and messiness online,it is not,for most teens,a cycle of non-stop abuse:a Pew study found only 15%of teens said someone had bullied them online in the last12months.G.But surely all this short-form writing is affecting literacy?Certainly,teachers worry.They say that kids useoverly casual language and text-speak in writing,and don’t have as much patience for long reading and complex arguments.Yet studies of first-year college papers suggest these anxieties may be partly based on misguided nostalgia(怀旧).When Stanford University scholar Andrea Lunsford gathered data on the rates of errors in“freshman composition”papers going back to1917,she found that they were virtuallyidentical to today.H.But even as error rates stayed stable,student essays have blossomed in size and complexity.They are nowsix times longer and,unlike older“what I did this summer”essays,they offer arguments supported by evidence.Why?Computers have vastly increased the ability of students to gather information,sample different points of view and write more fluidly.I.When linguist Naomi Baron studied students’instant messaging even there she found surprisingly rareusage of short forms such as“u”for“you”,and as students got older,they began to write in more grammatical sentences.That is because they want to appear more adult,and they know how adults are expected to write.Clearly,teaching teens formal writing is still crucial,but texting probably isn’t destroying their ability to learn it.J.It is probably true that fewer kids are heavy readers compared with two generations ago,when cheap paperbacks boosted rates of reading.But even back then,a minority of people—perhaps20%—were lifelong heavy readers,and it was cable TV,not the internet,that struck a blow at that culture in the1980s.Still,15%or more of kids are found to be deeply bookish.In fact,the online world offers kids remarkable opportunities to become literate and creative because young people can now publish ideas not just to their friends,but to the world.And it turns out that when they write for strangers,their sense of“authentic audience”makes them work harder,push themselves further,and create powerful new communicative forms.K.Few would deny that too much time online can be harmful.Some of the dangers are emotional:hurting someone from a distance is not the same as hurting them face to face.If we’re lucky,the legal environment will change to make teenagers’online lives less likely to haunt them later on.Just last week, California passed a law allowing minors to demand that internet firms erase their digital past and the EU has considered similar legislation.L.Distraction is also a serious issue.When kids switch from chat to music to homework,they are indeed likely to have trouble doing each task well.And studies show that pupils don’t fact-check information online—“smart searching”is a skill schools need to teach urgently.It’s also true that too much social networking and game playing can cut into schoolwork and sleep.This is precisely why parents still need to set firm boundaries around it,as with any other distraction.M.So what’s the best way to cope?The same boring old advice that applies to everything in parenting: moderation.Rebecca Eynon argues that it’s key to model good behaviour.Parents who stare non-stop at their phones and don’t read books are likely to breed kids who will do the same.As ever,we ought to be careful about our own behaviour.36.Research has found the use of digital technology benefits not only teenagers’social lives but also theirstudies.37.It is urgent that schools teach kids how to verify online information.38.Students now write longer and more complex essays than their counterparts in previous decades while theerror rates remain unchanged.39.Newspaper reports of teenagers give a false picture of their behaviour.40.Parents are advised to mind their own digital behaviour and set a good example for their kids.41.Contrary to parents’belief,kids try hard to leave as few traces as possible on the web.42.Students’ability to learn formal writing is unlikely to be affected by texting.43.Historically,new technologies have always caused great fears among parents.44.The reading culture was seriously affected by cable television some four decades ago.45.Teachers say that kids’writing is too casual,using language characteristic of text messages.Section CDirections:There are2passages in this section.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet2with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions46to50are based on the following passage.In the history of horse racing,few horses have captured the affection of the British public like Red Rum. Today,three decades after his retirement,he is still one of the best-known and most beloved racehorses of all time.Red Rum was passed around to several owners before being purchased for Noel Le Mar.The agent who made the purchase was the now-legendary horse trainer Donald“Ginger”McCain.It wasn’t apparent at the time,but Red Rum had a serious bone disease in his foot.For many horses(and many trainers)this would mean the end of a racing career before it even began.For Ginger and Red Rum, though,it was just an obstacle to greatness that had to be overcome.Red Rum’s true talent came out in steeplechases(障碍赛马).His power,speed and jumping ability carried him to his first Grand National title in1973.The very next year,Red Rum returned to take his second title.He was the first horse to take successive firsts since Reynoldstown in1935-1936.Red Rum’s spirit and grace had already begun to charm the leagues of Grand National fans.In the following two years,Red Rum lost out on the title,coming in second both times.When he returned in1977to try again,he was largely regarded as past his prime.He was12years old and not expected to place highly.He surprised sporting fans around the world when he came in a remarkable25lengths ahead of the nearest horse,taking his third Grand National win.To this day,Red Rum’s third win is known as one of the greatest moments in horse racing history.Red Rum was headed for the Grand National once again in1978but suffered an injury in one of his heels shortly before the race.He was retired soon after,but his public life and fame by no means decreased with the end of his career.Red Rum traveled all over the country for various engagements.He often led pre-race parades at Aintree Racecourse and was a popular guest at charity benefits and public events.46.What do we learn from the passage about Red Rum the racehorse?A.He captured public affection long before he won national titles.B.He won enormous fame and love from British people.C.He became a myth three decades after his retirement.D.He owed his great success to several well-known horse trainers.47.What did the serious bone disease in Red Rum’s foot mean to himself and his trainer?A.It was simply a hindrance they had to get over to excel.B.It was surely a disadvantage though not considered fatal.C.It was actually the end of a racing career that had just begun.。

He told me that his parents had arranged a better job for him.Q: What does the man mean?12. M: Haven’t you heard that Prof. Emerson will act as the new dean of our department?W: Prof. Emerson? He is the last person in the world I’d ever want to see.Q: What does the woman mean?13. M: Honey, you might want to bring your umbrella today. The temperature will drop sharply and it’s going to startraining very hard this afternoon, according to the weatherman.W: But there’s not a cloud in the sky right now. He’s w rong so much of the time.Q: Why doesn’t the woman take the umbrella?14. M: Excuse me, where can I find the apartment manager? I need to see him right now.W: Sorry, I can’t help you. I’m not familiar with this building.Q: What does the woman mean?15. W: Sam won’t be able to play in the basketball game this week.M: Y es. He hurt his knee pretty badly a month ago. I don’t know why he didn’t quit right away.Q: What does the man mean?16. W: I’m so happy to see you back in class again. Three weeks is a long-time.M: I really had a great time seeing all the sights. There’s nothing like taking it easy once a year.Q: What has the man done for the last three weeks?17. W: I was supposed to meet Tim here nearly 30 minutes ago. I wonder what’s taking him so long.M: He probably forgot about your meeting. He’s so disorganized and forgetful. He never makes any of his appointments.Q: What kind of person is Tim, according to the man?18. M: What a wonderful performance! The marching band has never sounded better.W: Thanks. I guess all those hours of practice are finally paying off.Q: What does the woman mean?Now you will hear the two long conversations.Conversation OneM: I’m never going to shop at Sun Fashion Shop again!W: It’s not one of my favorite sto res either. What happened to you there?M: They were advertising a “Clearance Sale” in front of the shop and I bought two T-shirts for $30. The problem is that the shirts shrank to children’s size after being washed only once!W: Did the shirts have laundry instructions on them?M: Y es, and I followed them exactly.W: Did you try to get your money back from the store?M: Y es, but they said they don’t guarantee their products. I’ll never shop there again!W: That’s why it’s not my favorite store, either. The re are other, better quality stores that will refund your money if there is a problem with one of their products. It’s just not worth taking a chance when stores use so-called “price cutting” techniques to mislead shoppers into buying poor quality products.M: Y eah, they are misleading with their beautiful advertising lies!W: If enough people become aware of their poor quality and their lies in advertising, the store will not be able to stay in business because no one will shop there.M: I hope you’re righ t. Stores like that should not be in business.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.19. Why did the man shop at Sun Fashion Shop?20. What happened to the T-shirts the man bought after washing?21. What can be learned from the conversation?Conversation TwoM: Hey, Monica. What’s up? Looks like you got some sun this weekend.W: Yeah, I guess so. Y ou know, I spent the weekend at the beach.M: Oh, really? But it’s hard to find a hotel there. Where did you stay?W: An old friend just moved there. She invited me for as long as I wanted to stay.M: So what are you doing back here already? Didn’t you have much fun there?W: Oh, I have a paper to hand in this week, and I just couldn’t concentrate myself on studying at the beach.M: Then what did you do out there, I mean besides lying out in the sun?W: I played some volleyball. Y ou know I never realized how hard it is to run on sand. I couldn’t even get through a whole game before I had to sit down. It’s much easier to run in the we t sand near the water.M: Interesting! Did you go swimming?W: I wanted to, but they said the water isn’t warm enough for that until a couple months from now, so I just waded in the water up to my knees.M: Sounds relaxing. I wish I could get away to the beach like that.W: Maybe next weekend we can go there together.M: That’s great!Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.22. How did the woman spend the last weekend?23. Why did the woman come home so soon?24. What did the woman do at the beach?25. What will the speakers probably do next weekend?Section BPassage OneWomen are on their way to holding more than half of all American jobs. The latest government report shows that their share of non-farm jobs nearly reached fifty percent in September. Not only have more and more women entered the labor market over the years, but the recession has been harder on men. In October the unemployment rate for men was almost 11 percent compared to 8 percent for women.Industries that traditionally use lots of men have suffered deep cuts. For example, manufacturing and building lost more jobs last month. But health care and temporary employment services have had job growth. Both of those industries employ high percentages of women.Y et a recent study said men still hold about nine out of every ten top positions at the four hundred largestcompanies in California. The results have remained largely unchanged in five years of studies from the University of California, Davis. Also, a new research paper in the journal Sex Roles looks at the experiences of women who are the main earners in their family. Rebecca Meisenbach at the University of Missouri in Columbia interviewed fifteen women. She found they all valued their independence and many enjoyed having the power of control, though not all wanted it.Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. What was the unemployment rate for men in October?27. Which of the following industries employs a high percentage of women?28. What does Rebecca find in her interview?Passage T woThe Statue of Liberty has stood in New Y ork Harbor for more than one hundred years. It was a gift from the people of France in 1884. Its full name is “Liberty Enlightening the World”.The Statue of Liberty is forty-six meters tall from its base. It is made mostly of copper. Throughout history, images of liberty have been represented as a woman. The statue is sometimes called “Lady Liberty”. The Statue of Liberty’s face was created to look like the sculptor’s mother. Her right arm holds a torch with a flame high in the air. Her left arm holds a tablet with the date of the Declaration of Independence —July 4th, 1776. On her head she wears a crown of seven points. Each is meant to represent the light of freedom as it shines on the seven seas and seven continents of the world. Twenty-five windows in the crown represent gemstones found on Earth. A chain that represents oppression lies broken at her feet.Still, the statue was old and becoming dangerous for visitors. In 1982, President Ronald Reagan asked businessman Lee Iacocca to lead a campaign to repair it. The Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation raised about 100,000,000 dollars in private money to do the work. The repairs included replacing the torch and covering it with Twenty-four carat gold. On July 4th, 1986, New Y ork City celebrated a restored and re-opened Statue of Liberty. Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.29. What can we learn about the S tatue of Liberty from the passage?30. What do the seven points on the crown represent?31. Why did President Ronald Reagan have the Statue of Liberty repaired in 1982?Passage ThreeThe World Health Statistics Report shows about 9 million children died in 2007 compared to 12. 5 million in 1990. It says many countries are making good progress toward meeting the U. N. Millennium Development Goals of cutting child deaths by two-thirds by 2015.This year’s report focuses on how well countries are doing in reaching eight-stated Millennium Development Goals, including cutting poverty by half and reducing child and maternal mortality. The results are mixed. For example, the report says progress is being made in bringing down child deaths, but there has been little or no movement in maternal and newborn health.It says an estimated 37 percent of deaths among children occur in the first month of life, and most in the first week of life. It says most infant deaths happen in regions where maternal mortality rates are the highest.Coord inator in WHO’s department of Health Statistics and Informatics, Carla Abou-Zahr, says there are a whole range of issues that hold countries back. “Y ou cannot say it is just lack of resources or it is just lack of commitment,” said Abou-Zahr. “Usually ther e are very weak institutions in many of these countries. And, many of them are facing major problems of HIV, which has had a huge impact on especially child mortality, life expectancy in general. So, that is being a factor that is holding back the progress for those countries.”Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.32. What is the reduced number of dead children from 1990 to 2007?33. In which aspect did many countries fail to make progress, according to the World Health StatisticsReport?34. In what kind of area do most infant deaths happen?35. According to Abou-Zahr, what prevents many countries from reaching the target of cutting child deaths?Section CAn interpersonal relationship is a relatively long-term association between two or more people. This association may be based on emotions like love and liking, regular business interactions, or some other type of social commitment. Interpersonal relationships take place in a great variety of contexts, such as family, friends, marriage, work, clubs, neighborhoods, and acquaintances. They may be regulated by law, custom, or mutual agreement, and are the basis of social groups and society as a whole. Although humans are fundamentally social creatures, interpersonal relationships are not always healthy. Examples of unhealthy relationships include abusive relationships and codependence. A relationship is normally viewed as a connection between two individuals, such as a romantic orintimate relationship, or a parent-child relationship. Individuals can also have relationships with groups of people. Finally, groups or even nations may have relations with each other, though this is a much broader subject than that covered under the topic of interpersonal relationships. See such articles as international relations for more information on associations between groups. Most academic work on relationships focuses on romantic partners in couples. These intimate relationships are, however, only a small subset of interpersonal relationships. All relationships involve some level of interdependence. People in a relationship tend to influence each other, share their thoughts and feelings, and engage in activities together. Because of this interdependence, anything that changes or impacts one member of the relationship will have some level of impact on the other member.。

Despite intensiveacademic____26____on these developments, there has been little study on how workers____27____to being replaced through technology.To find out, business researchers at TUM and Erasmus University Rotterdam conducted 11 studies and surveys with over 2,000 persons from several countries.The findings show: In principle, most people view itmore____28____when workers are replaced by other people than by robots or intelligent software. This preference____29____,however, when it refers to people’s own jobs. When that is the case, the majority of workers find it less upsetting to see their own jobs go to robots than to other employees. In the long term, however, the same people see machines as more threatening to their future role in the workforce. These effects can also be observed among people who have recently become unemployed.The researchers were able to identify the causes behindthese____30____paradoxical results, too: People tendto____31____themselves less with machines than with other people. Consequently, being replaced by a robot or software____32____less of a threat to their feeling of self-worth. This reduced self-threat could even be observed when participants assumed that they were being replaced by other employees who relied on technological abilities such as artificial intelligence in their work.“Even when unemployment results from the____33____of new technologies, people still judge it in a social context,” says Christoph Fuchs, one of the authors of the study. “It is important to understand these____34____effects when trying to manage the massive changes in the working world to minimize____35____in society.”A) compareB) contradictsC) conventionalD) debateE) disruptionsF) drasticallyG) favorablyH) guaranteeI) introductionJ) modificationsK) posesL) psychologicalM) reactN) reversesO) seeminglySection BDirections: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it.Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.No escape as ‘snow day’ becomes ‘e-learning day’A) Certain institutions, such as schools, are likely to close when bad weather, such as snow, flooding or extreme heat or cold, causes travel difficulties, power outages (断供), or otherwise endangers public safety. When snowy weather arrives in the US, it means the chance of school children benefiting from the long-standing tradition of the “snow day”, when schools are forced to close and students get an unexpected day off.B) The criterion for a snow day is primarily the inability of school buses to operate safely on their routes and danger to children who walk to school. Often, the school remains officially open even though busesdo not run and classes are canceled. Severe weather that causes cancellation or delay is more likely in regions that are less able to handle the situation. Snow days are less common in more northern areas of the United States that are used to heavy winter snowfall, because municipalities are well equipped to clear roads and remove snow. In areas less accustomed to snow even small snowfalls of an inch or two may render roads unsafe.C) Snow days are a familiar theme in American film and TV shows, with children getting the good news and then running outside for some seasonal snowman-building and snowball throwing, against a background of joyful pop music. But the tradition is now over for pupils in several US states such as South Carolina, Nevada, Georgia and Indiana. This academic year, many school boards have introduced policies which require students to work from home if the school is shut by snow or extreme weather. They are known as “e-learning days”, which certainly sounds less fun than a snow day.D) Teachers are also losing their snow days and instead will be expected to be on hand to take a virtual register and answer students’questions online. A pilot programme in a school district in Anderson County, South Carolina, has supplied students with electronic tablets loaded with assignments to complete in the event of a school closure. If it is successful, it could be rolled out across the state.E) But some parents object to the new policy if the vigorous debate on the Facebook page of Anderson County school district is anything to go by. “When it snows, let the kids enjoy it,” said one commenter. Another said the decision would “ruin school even more”, and someone else called snow days “a fun part of childhood”. But supporters of the policy say it means children will miss fewer days of school. It will also bring to an end a less popular US high school tradition: the “make-up day”, which requires students in many states to make up the time lost due to weather by working during school holidays.F) Students in North Carolina already have several make-up days scheduled because of school closures during Hurricane Florence, which struck in September. Tom Wilson, the superintendent (主管) of Anderson County school district, said the change away from snow days makes practical and financial sense. He said technology has changed every profession, so it makes sense to use it to “eliminate” make-up days. Adam Baker of the Department of Education in Indiana said e-learning days were proving a “great success”. He said most Indiana schools already use digital devices during lessons, so it was an “easy decision” to extend this to days when schools are closed. He denies the decision is depriving children of the chance to enjoy the snow. “Students are still able to enjoy snow days and outside time,” he said. “Many have PE and science assignments that have them out enjoying the weather.” But local school superintendents in Ohio are resisting proposals to adopt elearning days.They fear that students without internet access at home will be disadvantaged by the policy, and superintendent Tom Roth is concerned that e-learning days will offer a lower quality of education.G) There are also so-called “blizzard bags”, with assignments that children take home ahead of an expected snow closure. But Mr. Roth says it is not sufficient as a replacement. “I think we still need the class time to give our kids the education that they deserve,” he said. “You can’t get that with a blizzard bag or doing the work from home like that. It’s not going to be as effective.”H) There is a long-running debate on whether missing days of school affects attainment. In England, there has been a focus on tackling absenteeism (旷课) from school. The Department for Education (DFE) published research in 2016 arguing that missing any days at school could have a negative impact on results. Even a few days lost in a year could be enough to miss out on getting a good exam grade, the DFE’s research concluded. This differed from the findings of a study from Harvard University in the US, which concluded that missing a few occasional days because of the weather did not damage learning.I) The Harvard study examined seven years of school results data and could not find any impact from snow closures. What caused more disruption was when schools tried to stay open in bad weather, even though many staff and pupils were absent. But weather can make a difference to school results, according to another piece of Harvard research published last summer. It’s hot weather that has the negative impact. The results of 10 million school students were examined over 13 years and researchers found a “significant” link between years with extremely hot weather and lower results.J) It’s obvious that students should go to school every day to get the most out of education. In cases of extreme weather students don’t always have that option. However, research shows that authorised absences from school such as during extreme weather are less problematic for students than absences that are not authorised. This is because unauthorised absences tend to reflect patterns and behaviours of student disengagement, or the possible negative attitudes of parents towards education that students adopt and carry with them through schooling. The level of impact on students’ educational performance is all to do with the length of time that a student is absent from school and how regularly this occurs.36. There is opposition to the practice of giving children assignments to take home before extreme weather forces a school closure.37. New policies adopted by many US schools require students to do online learning at home in case of a school closure.38. According to some research, extreme hot weather negatively affectsstudents’ performance.39. There is a time-honoured tradition in the US for school kids to stay at home on “snow days”.40. Debates on social media show some parents are opposed to ending the “snow day” tradition.41. In more northern regions of the US, school is less likely to be affected by snowy weather.42. Research indicates absences from school with permission do not cause as many problems as those without permission.43. There is objection to e-learning days owing to fear that students with no access to the Internet at home will suffer.44. In a pilot programme, students are given electronic devices to do assignments when schools are closed.45. A long-standing debate is going on over the impact of school absences on students’ academic performance.Section CDirections:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B),C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.It may sound surprising, but you don’t have to be interested in fashion, or even in history, to enjoy Dress Codes: How the Laws of Fashion Made History. I happen to be interested in both, and ended up enjoying the book for completely different reasons.Richard Thompson Ford is a law professor, and you probably won’t forget that for even one page. His carefully reasoned arguments, packed with examples, sound almost like reading a court opinion, only maybe wordier. You will probably never think of fashion as a trifle again.Ford’s thesis is that the best way to understand what particular fashions meant in any given era is to look at the restrictions placed on them. Through this lens, he shows us that the first laws passed in the 1200s to ensure that only the nobility were allowed to wear certain fabrics, colors and ornaments reflected the rise of the middle class, who were now able to imitate some of these fashions. The status of the upper classes was threatened; fashion was a tool to preserve it.Ford takes the reader through the evolution of fashion while examining the underlying motivations of status, sex, power, and personality, which, he assumes, influenced all innovations in fashion in the past and which continue to influence us today. His writing is more than a little dense—dense with research, clauses, and precise adjectives and nouns. But there’s also humor and enough interesting episodes to make the writing appealing. No one is spared his sharp analysis: not the easy targets of 19th century women’s crippling (伤害身体的）fashions nor the modern uniforms of Silicon Valley T-shirts.But the greatest strength of this book (on fashion!) is its intellectual profoundness. Ford asks us to question unconscious beliefs, to realize that we almost never do so, to understand that the simplest choices are charged with meaning, and yet that meaning can and does change all the time. Consider the fact that a 1918 catalog insisted that boys and girls be dressed in the appropriate color. We believe our thinking today is evolved; Ford shows us it’s not.46. What does the author think of the book Dress Codes: How the Laws of Fashion Made History?A) It is read by people for entirely different reasons.B) It is meant for those interested in fashion history.C) It makes enjoyable as well as informative reading.D) It converts fashion into something for deliberation.47. How can people best understand a particular fashion in an era, according to Ford?A) By examining the restraints imposed on it.B) By looking at what the nobility were wearing.C) By glancing at its fabrics, colors and ornaments.D) By doing a survey of the upper and middle classes.48. What was the aim of the first laws passed regarding fashion in the 1200s?A) To facilitate the rise of the middle class.B) To loosen restrictions on dress codes.C) To help initiate some novel fashions.D) To preserve the status of the nobles.49. What does the author think of Ford’s writing?A) It uses comparison and contrast in describing fashions of different eras.B) It makes heavy reading but is not lacking in humor or appeal.C) It is filled with interesting episodes to spare readers intolerable boredom.D) It is characteristic of academics in presenting arguments.50. What does the author say is the greatest strength of Ford’s book?A) Plentiful information.B) Meaningful choices.C) Evolved thinking.D) Intellectual depth.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.The art of persuasion means convincing others to agree with your point of view or to follow your course of action. For some of us, persuasion is an instinctive quality and the power of influencing comes naturally. For the rest of us, persuasion skills can be learned and developed over time.Employers place a great value on employees with persuasion skills because they can impact several aspects of job performance. Besides, teamwork and leadership rely heavily on the power of persuasion to get things done. Without persuasion skills, employees may not be as committed to or convinced of the importance of an organization’s vision and long-term mission. Effective use of persuasion skills will not only help get your coworkers excited about your ideas, it’ll also help you motivate them to achieve a common goal.In order to learn the art of persuasion at the workplace, you need to understand how to handle conflicts and reach agreements. Good communication is the first step in effective persuasion, but logic and reasoning are just as important. Before you can get somebody onboard with your goal, you should help them understand why they should pursue it. Using visual aids to back up your ideas can help communicate your ideas better and make compelling arguments so your listeners will come to a logical choice and become fully committed to your ideas and plans.Successful persuasion skills are based on your ability to have positive interactions and maintain meaningful relationships with people. In order to sustain those relationships, you must be able to work in their best interests as well. Your coworkers are more likely to agree with you when they succeed alongside you. The more they achieve and the greater progress they make, the more they trust your judgement and strength.We persuade and get persuaded every day—we’re either convincing or being convinced. A vast majority of people prefer collaboration and teamwork over traditional organizational structures; no one likes to be told what to do or to be pushed around. Therefore, organizations and leaders should adopt powerful persuasion skills to bring about necessary changes.51. What does the author say about the ability to be persuasive in the first paragraph?A) People may either be born with it or be able to cultivate it.B) It proves crucial in making others follow one’s course of action.C) It refers to the natural and instinctive power of influencing one’s coworkers.D) People may view it as both a means to convince others and an art of communication.52. Why are persuasion skills greatly valued in the workplace?A) They enable employees to be convinced of their long-term gains.B) They enable employees to trust their leaders unconditionally.C) They help motivate coworkers to strive for a common goal.D) They help an organization to broaden its vision effectively.53. What should people do to learn the art of persuasion at the workplace?A) Acquire effective communication skills.B) Avoid getting involved in conflicts with others.C) Understand the reason for pursuing their goals.D) Commit themselves fully to their ideas and plans.54. When are you more likely to succeed in persuading your coworkers?A) When they are convinced you work in their interests while sacrificing your own.B) When they become aware of the potential strength of the judgements you make.C) When they become aware of the meaningful relationships you keep with them.D) When they are convinced they will make achievements together with you.55. Why are organizations and leaders advised to adopt powerful persuasion skills to bring about necessary changes?A) To convince employees of the value of collaboration.B) To allow for the preferences of most people of today.C) To improve on traditional organizational structures.D) To adapt to employees’ ever-changing working styles.Part Ⅳ Translation (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English. You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2.汉语中的“福”字（the character fu）表示幸福和好运，是中国传统文化中最常用的吉祥（auspicious）符号之一。

However, along with this surge are some uncivil behaviors, which have received fierce criticism. For example, some tourists may smoke, talk loudly, litter, or even scrawl on cultural relics in the scenic spots.Many factors contribute to this uncivil phenomenon, including lack of good habit of travelling, different cultural background and personal quality. Therefore, some measures should be taken to tackle this problem. First, a system should be set up to keep track of those who misbehave in scenic spots. We can blacklist those who are spotted three times and reject their admission. Second, the authorities concerned could impose a fine on those who damage the environment in the scenic spots. Last but not least, education should serve as a main task shouldered by the government to improve the tourists'personal quality.In short, some severe measures as well as education should be adopted together to help everyone to be a civic-minded tourist.Part II Listening Comprehension1 ,..____. 5 : ED A BA16 ,..____. 20 : ABADBSection APassage One6 r---..,; 10 : ADC D C21r---..,;25 : ACADB11�15 : CBBAC[l][ 2] The women's marathon opens the final day of competition, but that 42. 2-kilometer race, which begins and ends at the historic Brandenburg Gate, is only the beginning.[2]The women go for the gold in three other events, including the Ions jump, four-by-400-meter relay and the 1500 meters.Anna Willard of the United States is one of three Americans to make the 400-meter finals and she told VOA Sports about her plan for Sunday.

Don‟t y ou think this is putting the cart before the horse?Q: What does the woman think the man should do?12. W: I‟m awfully sorry I‟m late again, but I got caught in a traffic jam; you know what transportation was like thistime of day.M: Well, “it appears that you have more traffic jams than other colleagues. It‟s the fourth time you are late within two weeks.Q: What does the man mean?13. W: Have you met John‟s girlfriend? Do you feel she‟s as beautiful as he said? How come I don‟t feel so?M: Well, they say love is blind.Q: What does the man mean?14. M: Oh, gosh. I was caught cheating in the math examination yesterday.W: I‟m sorry to hear that. But since it happened, you have to face the music.Q: What does the woman mean?15. W: I just saw an ad on television that said men‟s suits were on sale today and tomorrow at Conrad‟s Men‟s Ware.M: Great! That‟s just what I‟ve been waiting for.Q: What will the man probably do?16. W: We are offering quite a few programs this fall. Feel free to call any time and talk to the nurse.M: Maybe I‟ll do that. There are some things I‟d like to know about the weight reduction program you‟re offering.Q: What do we learn about the man?17. W: Good morning. Can I help you, sir?M: Oh, yes. I‟m going to enjoy a vacation in Sydney for three weeks. This is my first trip abroad and I want to get some information about flights and hotels there.Q: Where does this conversation most probably take place?18. M: This is a good seat.

This is such a large campus, and I have classes all over the campus. I need to take the shuttle bus from one class to another, or I‟ll never make it on time.W: What do you need to know? I think it‟s a really great system.M: First of all, where does it go?W: The university shuttle bus system goes all over campus.

Let‟s talk about your life. Where do you come from?M: I come from the Rez, an Indian reservation. I grew up there, lived there until 18. I lived on and off the reservation for the next 6 or 7 years during college. I left there after I graduated, worked at a high school exchange program. I thought I do that kind of job to support my writing. Day jobs that require no emotional investment beyond 8 hoursa day where I wouldn‟t need to bring work home. I didn‟t want to be part of management or anybody important atthe job. I wanted to be completely replaceable, that is what I thought I would be doing for most of my life and writing. Then I got a ground and my first book got a front-page review in the New York Times Book Review. W: When did writing enter your life?M: Books are always being in my life. My dad love books and most of what he read were westerners‟ spy novels, mysteries. I grew up loving books, copying my father‟s love for boo ks. But nobody has showed me a book written by an Indian, not even one piece of poem. Nothing. At that time I was going to be a physician. I loved math and science. I got to college, couldn‟t handle physiology, and was looking around for options and took a poetry-writing class for fun.W: Poetry was your way in?M: Yes, that‟s where I started. I took the class and honestly, I just thought it would be an easy grade. But I completely underestimated poetry and what it would do to me and the realm of possibility for it. I took the class and was hooked about ten minutes after reading my first contemporary poem.Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.23. Why did Sherman Alexie only take day jobs?24. What was his original goal at college?25.

What is the purpose of this passage?Passage TwoThe word advertising refers to any kind of public announcement that brings products and services to the attention of people. Throughout history, advertising has been all effective way to promote the trading and selling of goods. In the Middle Ages, merchants employed “town criers” to re ad public messages aloud to promote their goods.By the end of the seventeenth century, when newspapers were beginning to be read by more people, printed materials became all important way to promote products and services. The London Gazette was the first newspaper to set aside a place just for advertising. This was so successful that by the end of the century several companiesstarted businesses for the purpose of making newspaper ads for merchants.Advertising spread quickly throughout the eighteenth century. Ad writers were starting to pay more attention to the design of the ad text. Everything, from clothes to drinks, was promoted with clever methods such as repetition of the firm‟s name or product, words organized in eye-catching patterns, the use of pretty pictures and expressions easy to remember.Near the end of the nineteenth century, companies that were devoted to the production of ads came to be known as “advertising agencies.” The agencies developed new ways to get people to think of themselves a s members of a group. Throughout the twentieth century, advertising agencies promoted consumerism as a way of life, spreading the belief that people could be happy only if they bought the “right” products.Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.30. What was advertising like in the Middle Ages?31. In what aspect was the l8th century advertising special?32. Which would be the best title for the passage?Passage ThreeCan dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? A recent research has found a new recipe of success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young, it is highly probable that the two pets will get along peacefully.However, it wasn‟t all sweetnes s and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission.In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each other‟s language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk …dog‟, and dogs can learn how to talk …cat‟.What‟s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn how to read each other‟s body signals. Once familiar with each other‟s pr esence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa.The significance of the research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets —to people who don‟t get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along,surely people have a good chance.Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.33. When may some cats and dogs fight according to the speaker?34. What is found surprising about cats and dogs?35. What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?Section CResearch suggests that parental involvement in school is vital to a child‟s academic success. However, if you‟re a single parent, a working parent, or a parent with little spare time, you may find it difficult to find ways to get involved. The following list of recommendations comes from the Harvard Family Research Project, an organization committed to advancing education, which may give you some enlightenment. First, attend teacher-parent conferences. If the schedule of these meetings conflicts with your work schedule, speak to the teacher and principal about your situation, and work out a time when you can meet. Second, get over your own insecurities. The Harvard Family Research Project found that parents who had negative childhood experiences at school are less likely to get involved in their children‟s academic programs, and may feel uncomfortable contacting teachers. Remember that your child‟s a cademic experience is important and vital to his professional success. Under no circumstances do you let your own obstacles hinder your child‟s success. Third, drop in on extracurricular activities. If you are unavailable during the day, try to pick your child up from after-school activities. Arrive a few minutes early and watch your child in action. Sit in on your child‟s student council meeting or theatre rehearsal (排练) . Finally, use a translator. Parents who speak English as a second language can get in touch with their child‟s school and request a translator. It‟s important for all parents to have their questions answered and their concerns properly communicated.。
