to use theEnglish language...There was no theatre in Stratford in Shakespeare’sday—it was not until1769that Stratford organised any event in(47)ho of him,and that was a festival put together by London-based actor-manager David Garrick,(48)featured no dramatic performances at all.From then on,the idea of building a permanent home in which to perform Shakespeare’s works gained momentum,and the(49)fea of building a theatre in backwater Stratford grew immensely with the advent of better roads and the railways. The first memorial theatre opened in1879,on land donated by local beer magnate Charles Flower,who also funded the project.After a fire in1926,the competition held for a(50)(replace)was won by the only woman applicant,Elisabeth Scott.Her theatre,overlooking a beautiful scene of lush meadows and willow trees on the northern banks of the Avon,is today the Main House,presenting a constant diet of Shakespeare’s works.At the bank,the burnt-out(51)ori theatre has been converted into a replica“in-the-round”Elizabethan stage—named The Swan.It’s used for works by Shakespeare’s contemporaries,classics from all eras,and one annual piece by the man himself.A third(52)aud,The Other Place,in nearby Southern Lane,showcases modern and experimental pieces.As the Royal Shakespeare Company works on a repertory system,you could stay in Stratford for a few days and see four or five different plays.During the day you can inspect the Royal Shakespeare Company’s trove of(53)(theatre)memorabilia at the RSC Collection,or go on a backstage tour.In Stratford you can(54)visit the Shakespeare Centre and Birthplace Museums;Holy Trinity Church,which contains Shakespeare’s tomb;Hall’s Croft,the former home of Shakespeare’s elder daughter, Susanna,and her doctor husband,John Hall—now a fascinating museum of Elizabethan medicine;the beautiful gardens and foundations of New Place;Anne Hathaway’s Cottage,the home of the woman who in 1582became Shakespeare’s wife;Mary Arden’s House,an Elizabethan country farm,(55)(former) the home of Shakespeare’s mother;and the Shakespeare Countryside Museum.Part IV Reading Comprehension(30marks)There are three passages in this part.Each passage is followed by several questions.Respond to the questions using information from the passage.Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet. Section A(10marks)Questions56to60are based on the following passage.Watercress is a rapidly growing,aquatic or semi-aquatic,perennial plant native to Europe and Asia,and one of theoldest known leaf vegetables consumed by humans.It is amember of the family Brassicaceae,botanically related togarden cress,mustard,radish and wasabi—all noteworthyfor their piquant flavor.The hollow stems of watercress will float;the leafstructure is pinnately compound.Small,white and greenflowers are produced in clusters and are frequently visitedby insects,especially hoverflies such as Eristalis flies.In some regions,watercress is regarded as a weed,in other regions as an aquatic vegetable or herb. Watercress has been grown in many locations around the world.Crisp,green and peppery,watercress is positively packed with healthy vitamins and minerals.It has a long history:the Greek god Zeus was reputed to think that watercress helped in building health and strength,while Hippocrates,“the father of medicine”,was so convinced that watercress was a great healer that he built his first hospital next to a stream so that he could grow a plentiful supply of the glossy green leaves for his patients.The Romans chewed watercress in large quantities,believing that it would cure baldness.Modern-day celebrities recommend a watercress-soup diet as a great way to lose weight healthily.Watercress sandwiches were traditionally a breakfast item in nineteenth-century Europe.The most basic type of watercress sandwich has two pieces of white bread with a mixture of butter and watercress greens.A nickname for the vegetable,in fact,was“poor man’s bread”,because watercress was often eaten on its own for breakfast by families that could not afford the bread to go with it. Watercress is a member of the mustard family and,as its name suggests,it’s grown in water—in warm, shallow streams of flowing spring water.It contains vitamins C,K and A,and is also a valuable source of minerals such as iron,potassium,copper and calcium.Like broccoli and spinach,it has special properties which help prevent cancer.The mustard oils in its glossy leaves and stems contain a chemical compound known as PEITC.Recent research has proved that this compound can inhibit the growth of cancer cells and,in some cases,actually destroy them.The best watercress has silky green leaves without any marks and crisp,undamaged stems.The older the plant,the darker are its leaves and the thicker its stems.This means a higher concentration of oils and vitamins.Young watercress,on the other hand,may be harvested after only28days growth and has amilder flavour.It’s best to eat watercress fresh and raw,to preserve more of its valuable nutrients,but it can be lightly cooked and used as an alternative to spinach—another dark green vegetable—in various recipes.From soups to salads to stir-fries,watercress is now acclaimed around the world as a natural and healthy super food.Watercress can be sold in supermarkets in sealed plastic bags,containing a little moisture and lightly pressurised to prevent crushing of contents.This has allowed national availability with a once-purchased storage life of one to two days in chilled/refrigerated storage.Questions56to60Fill in the blanks below with information from the passage,using no more than three words for each blank.Section B(10marks)Questions61to65are based on the following passage.New research points to a biological role in criminality.The tattoo on the ex-con’s beefy arm reads:Born to raise hell.Much as it may defy the science of the past,which blamed crime on the social influences such as poverty and bad parenting,the outlaw may be onto something.Though no one would deny that upbringing and environment play important parts in the making of a criminal,scientists increasingly suspect that biology also plays a significant role.Poverty and family problems,sex-role expectations,community standards—all may predispose individuals toward crime.But many researchers now believe that the reason one individual commits a crime and another person doesn’t may have as much to do with neurological differences as it does with differencesin upbringing or environment.After all,says Dr.Tames Q.Wilson,a professor of management and public policy at UCLA,“it’s hard to find any form of behavior that doesn’t have some biological component.”After evaluating recent research on violence,aspecial panel gathered by the National ResearchCouncil(NRC)in Washington published a lengthyreport last fall noting that“even if two individuals couldbe exposed to identical experiences,their potentials forviolent behavior would differ because their nervoussystems process information differently”.First and most obvious among the clues that biology plays a role in criminal behaviors is the simple fact that throughout history,crime has occurred in all cultures.One element in the universality of crime is the human capacity for aggression.Nobel prizewinning ethnologist Konrad Lorenz,author of On Aggression, argued that just as people have an instinct for eating and drinking,nature evolved in them the impulse for aggression.Though Lorenz thought it was peculiar to people and rats,aggression has now been observed in every vertebrate species studied.In people,only a fine line separates aggression from violence—defined by researchers as behavior intended to inflict harm on others.“Criminals are,on the whole,angry people,”says Harvard psychologist Richard Hernstein.“That is well substantiated.”Another simple fact pointing to a biological basis for criminality is that in all societies,about90%of violent criminals are men—many of them young.The great majority of other crimes are also committed by men.Among animals too,the male is almost always more aggressive.This fact suggests that certain hormones,particularly androgens,which characterize maleness,may help tip the balance from obeying to breaking the law.While there’s no such thing as a“crime gene”,or indeed any single determinant that leads a person to break the law,each child is born with a particular temperament,or characteristic pattern of psychological response.As Wilson notes,“One is shy,the other bold;one sleeps through the night,the other is always awake;one is curious and exploratory,the other passive.These observations are about differences that cannot be explained wholly or even largely by environment.”Linking an individual’s temperament to criminality is,of course,a much more contentious matter.To search for the roots of violence,the members of the NRC panel asked several key questions.Why do some children show patterns of unusually aggressive behavior—hitting,kicking,biting peers or parents,or being cruel to animals—at an early age?Why do only a small percentage of those children commit violent crimes as adults?The panel concluded:“Research strongly suggests that violence arises from interactions among individuals’psychological development,their neurological and hormonal differences,and social processes.”There is no basis,the researchers added,for giving one of these elements more weight than another. Nonetheless,two camps have emerged to debate whether criminality is influenced more by nature (biology)or nurture(environment).And this is no mere ivory tower question.Public interest mounts with the statistics:Some35million offenses against people or households,20%of them violent,are reported in the US every year.Research that may help resolve this nature-nurture question focuses mostly on three areas:biochemi-cal imbalances,genetic factors and physical damage such as head injury around the time of birth.Some studies suggest a link between behaviors—particularly the violent sort—and birth-related trauma,prema-ture birth or low birth weight.Similarly,a woman’s use of alcohol,cocaine,tobacco or other drugs during pregnancy also appears,in some instances,to damage fetal development in a way that is related to later criminality.On a more positive note,however,one recent study concluded that when children who’d had a traumatic birth grew up in a stable family environment,they were no likelier than anyone else to develop into criminals.Questions61to65Answer the following questions with the information given in the passage.61.According to the passage,what makes a person commit a crime besides factors like upbringing and environment?62.Why do some researchers believe that biology has an effect on criminality?63.What do criminals have in common according to biological experts?64.How to explain“One is shy,the other bold;one sleeps through the night,the other is always awake; one is curious and exploratory,the other passive...”?65.What is the focus of research on the nature-nurture question?Section C(10marks)Questions66to70are based on the following passage.There’s good news and bad news about life in modern cities—first,the bad.People who study population growth predict a nightmare by the year2025:the global population will be more than8billion,and almost 4billion of these people will be living in cities in developing countries such as India and Nigeria. Population growth is already causing unbelievable overcrowding.Nairobi,Kenya,has basic services for 200,000people but has a population of5million.Mexico City is home to almost25million people.By the year2025,population experts predict,660million people will be living in cities in India.Due to overcrowding,these cities have problems with air pollution,disease,and crime.People spend hours in gridlock—that is,traffic so horrible that it simply doesn’t move—when they commute daily from their homes to their work and back.There isn’t enough water,transportation,or housing.Many people don’t have access to health services or jobs.Now the good news:in some cities,instead of worsening,urban life is actually getting much better.It might not be a surprise to find that life in affluent cities is improving.But what about cities that aren’t rich?The city of Curitiba,Brazil,proves that it’s possible for even a city in a developing country to offer a good life to its residents.The mayor of Curitiba for twenty-five years,Jaime Lerner,was an architect and a very practical person.Under his leadership,the city planners established a list of priorities—in otherwords,a list of what was most important to work on.They decided to focus on the environment and on thequality of life.With an average income of only about$200per person per year,Curitiba has the sameproblems as many cities.However,it also has somecreative solutions.One creative solution is the method of garbagecollection.In neighborhoods that garbage trucks can’treach,poor people bring bags of trash to special centres.At these centres,they exchange the trash for fresh produce—such as potatoes and oranges—or for bus tickets.At a recycling plant,workers separate bottles,plastic,and cans from other trash.Two-thirds of Curitiba’s garbage is recycled,which is good for the environment.And the plant gives hobs to the poorest people,which improves their lives.Due to careful planning,Curitiba does not have the same traffic problems that most cities have.The statistics are surprising.The population has grown—now twice the size it was in1974—but traffic has actually decreased30percent.Curitiba needed a mass—transit system but couldn’t afford an expensive subway.City planners began,instead,with an unusual system of buses in the centre lanes of five wide major streets.At each bus stop,there is a forty-foot-long glass tube.Passengers pay before they enter the tube. Then they get on the bus“subway style”—through wide doors.This allows people to get on and off the bus quickly and efficiently.People don’t crowd onto the bus;loading and unloading takes only thirty seconds. This makes commuting more pleasant and also helps to solve the problem of air pollution.Then there is the problem of street children.To help solve this problem,Jaime Lerner talked seriously with owners of factories and stores.Each factory and store owner agreed to take care of a few street children—to give them a meal every day and a small amount of money.In exchange,the children do small, simple jobs in the garden or office.In addition,the city hired teenagers to keep the public parks clean. Clearly,overcrowding in big cities worldwide is the cause of serious problems.However,the example of Curitiba provides hope that careful planning and creative thinking can lead to solutions to many of them. Curitiba is truly,as Lewis Mumford once said of cities in general,a“symbol of the possible”.Questions66to70Complete the summary below with information from the passage,using no more than three words for each blank.There’s good news and bad news about life in modern cities.Researchers have estimated that the (66)will be more than8billion.4billion of these people will be living in cities in developing countries such as India and Nigeria.It will cause(67).By the year2025,with big population living in Indian cities,people will face problems of air pollution,disease and crime.The good news is that in some cities,urban life is actually getting much better.Curitiba proves that it is possible for a city in developing countries to offer good life to its residents.

This not only saves time but also helps to reduce(69).Jaime Lerner also makes effort to help street children.He asks the owners of factories and stores to allow these children to do simple jobs in exchange for(70)or some money.In addition,the city hires them to keep the public parks clean.Part V Translation(15marks)Section A(5marks)Translate the following paragraph into Chinese.Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet. 71.Tourism helps people to develop a variety of skills.As a service sector with cross-cutting impact on agriculture,construction or handicrafts,tourism creates millions of jobs and business opportunities.Its capacity to lift people from poverty,promote gender equity and help protect the environment has made it a vital tool for achieving positive change in communities across the world.Harnessing tourism’s benefits will be critical to achieving the sustainable development goals and implementing the post-2020development agenda.Section B(10marks)Translate the following sentences into English by using the hints given in brackets.Remember to write the answer on the answer sheet.在找工作的过程中,有面试,就有曙光。
