Fear not, however, for coffee can stimulate them again. During26 exercise, our muscles tire as they run out of fuel and build up waste products. Muscle performance can also be affected by a 27 called "central fatigue," in which an imbalance in the body's chemical messengers prevents the central nervous system from directing muscle movements 28 . It was not known , however , whether central fatigue might also affect motor systems not directly 29 in the exercise itself, such as those that move the eyes. To find out, researchers gave 11 volunteer cyclists a carbohydrate (碳水化合物的）30 either with a moderate dose of caffeine (咖啡因），which is known to stimulate the central nervous system ,or as a placebo (安慰剂）without, during 3 hours of 31 . After exercising ,the scientists tested the cyclists with eye-tracking cameras to see how well their brains could still 32 their visual system. The team found that exercise reduced the speed of rapid eye movements by about 8%, 33 their ability to capture new visual information. The caffeine, the equivalent of two strong cups of coffee, was 34 to reverse this effect, with some cyclists even displaying 35 eye movement speeds. So it might be a good idea to get someone else to drive you home after that marathon.A)cautiously B)commit C)controlD)cycling E)effectively F)increasedG)involved H)limited I)phenomenonJ)preventing K)sensitive L)slowingM)solution N)sufficient O)vigorousSection Ba passage wit ten statements attac e to it. Each statement contains Directions: In讥is section ,you are going to read·h h d·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 questionsby marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Team SpiritA)Teams have become the basic building blocks of organisations. Recruitment advertisements routinely call for"team players. " Business schools grade their students in part on their performance in group projects. Office managers knock down walls to encourage team building. Teams are as old as civilisation, of course: even Jesus had 12 co-workers. But a new report by Deloitte, "Global Human Capital Trends," based on a survey of more than 7,000 executives in over 130 countries, suggests that the fashion for teamwork has reached a new high.Almost half of those surveyed said their companies were either in the middle of restructuring or about to embark on (开始）it; and for the most part, restructuring meant putting more emphasis on teams.B)Companies are abandoning conventional functional departments and organising employees into cross-disciplinaryteams that focus on particular products, problems or customers. These teams are gaining more power to run their own affairs. They are also spending more time working with each other rather than reporting upwards. Deloitte argues that a new organisational form is on the rise: a network of teams is replacing the conventional hierarchy （等级体制）．C)The fashion for teams is driven by a sense that the old way of organising people is too rigid for both the modemmarketplace and the expectations of employees. Technological innovation places greater value on agility (灵活性）. John Chambers, chairman of Cisco Systems Inc. ,a worldwide leader in electronics products, says that "we compete against market transitions (过渡），not competitors. Product transitions used to take five or seven years; now they take one or two. "Digital technology also makes it easier for people to co-ordinate their activities without resorting to hierarchy. The "millennials" (千禧一代）who will soon make up half the workforce in rich countries were raised from nursery school onwards to work in groups.D)The fashion for teams is also spreading from the usual corporate suspects (such as GE and IBM) to some moreunusual ones. The Cleveland Clinic, a hospital operator, has reorganised its medical staff into teams to focus on particular treatment areas; consultants, nurses and others collaborate closely instead of being separated by speciality (专业）and rank. The US Army has gone the same way. In his book, Team of Teams ,General Stanley McChrystal describes how the army's hierarchicalstructure hindered its operations during the early stages of the Iraq war. His solution was to learn something from the rebels it was fighting: decentralising authority to self-organising teams.E)A good rule of thumb is that as soon as generals and hospital administrators jump on a management bandwagon（追随一种管理潮流），it is time to ask questions. Leigh Thompson of Kellogg School of Management in Illinois warns that, "Teams are not always the answer—teams may provide insight, creativity and knowledge ina way that a person working independently cannot; but teamwork may also lead to confusion, delay and poordecision-making." The late Richard Hackman of Harvard University once argued, "I have no question that when you have a team, the possibility exists that it will generate magic, producing something extraordinary. ..But don't count on it. "F)Hackman (who died in 2013) noted that teams are hindered by problems of co-ordination and motivation thatchip away at the benefits of collaboration. High-flyers (能干的人）who are forced to work in teams may be undervalued and free-riders empowered. Group-think may be unavoidable. In a study of旦Q teams of senior executives, he discovered that less than 10% of their supposed members agreed on who exactly was on the team.If it is hard enough to define a team's membership, agreeing on its purpose is harder still.G)Profound changes in the workforce are making teams trickier to manage. Teams work best if their members havea strong common culture. This is hard to achieve when, as is now the case in many big firms, a large proportionof staff are temporary contractors. Teamwork improves with time: America's National Transportation Safety Board found that 73% of the incidents in its civil-aviation database occurred on a crew's first day of flying together. However, as Amy Edmondson of Harvard points out, organisations increasingly use "team" as a verb rather than a noun: they form teams for specific purposes and then quickly disband them.H)The least that can be concluded from this research is that companies need to think harder about managing teams.They need to rid their minds of sentimentalism (感情用事）：the most successful teams have leaders who are able to set an overall direction and take immediate action. They need to keep teams small and focused: giving in to pressure to be more "inclusive" is a guarantee of dysfunction. Jeff Bezos, Amazon's boss, says that "If I see more than two pizzas for lunch, the team is too big. "They need to immunise teams against group-think: Hackman argued that the best ones contain "deviants" (离经叛道者）who are willing to do something that maybe upsetting to others.I) A new study of 12,000 workers in 17 countries by Steelcase, a furniture-maker which also does consulting, findsthat the best way to ensure employees are "engaged" is to give them more control over where and how they do their work—which may mean liberating them from having to do everything in collaboration with others.J)However, organisations need to learn something bigger than how to manage teams better: they need to be in the habit of asking themselves whether teams are the best tools for the job. Team-building skills are in short supply: Deloitte reports that only 12% of the executives they contacted feel they understand the way people work together in networks and only 21 %feel confident in their ability to build cross-functional teams. Loosely managed teams can become hotbeds of distraction—employees routinely complain that they can't get their work done because they are forced to spend too much time in meetings or compelled to work in noisy offices. Even in the age of open­plan offices and social networks some work is best left to the individual.36.Successful team leaders know exactly where the team should go and are able to take prompt action.37.Decentralisation of authority was also found to be more effective in military operations.38.In many companies, the conventional form of organisation is giving way to a network of teams.39.Members of poorly managed teams are easily distracted from their work.40.Teamwork is most effective when team members share the same culture.41.According to a report by Deloitte, teamwork is becoming increasingly popular among companies.42.Some team members find it hard to agree on questions like membership and the team's purpose.43.Some scholars think teamwork may not always be reliable, despite its potential to work wonders.44.To ensure employees'commitment, it is advisable to give them more flexibility as to where and how they work.45.Product transitions take much less time now than in the past.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 andmark 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.Shoppers in the UK are spending less money on toilet paper to save money ,research has shown.Penny-pinching UK consumers choose cheaper products from discounters such as Aldi and Lidl rather than luxury alternatives.This has wiped 6% off the value of the soft tissue paper market in the UK. It has shrunk from£1. 19 billion in 2011 to£1. 12 billion in 2015, according to a new report from market research company Mintel. Furthermore, the future of the market looks far from rosy ,with sales expected to fall further to£1. 11 billion in 2016.In the last year alone ,despite an increase in the UK population and a subsequent rise in the number of households, sales of toilet paper fell by 2 % , with the average household reducing their toilet roll spending from£43 in 2014 to£41 in 2015.Overall, almost three in five people say they try to limit the让usage of paper—including facial tissue and kitchen roll—to save money. "Strength, softness and thickness remain the leading indicators of toilet paper quality, with just a small proportion of consumers preferring more luxurious alternatives, such as those with flower patterns or perfume, "said Mintel analyst Jack Duckett. " T hese extra features are deemed unnecessary by the majority of shoppers ,which probably reflects how these types of products are typically more expensive than regular toilet paper,even when on special offer."While consumers are spending less on toilet paper, they remain fussy—in theory at least—when it comes to paper quality. Top of Britons'toliet paper wish list is softness (57%) followed by strength (45%) and thickness (36%).One in 10 buyers rank toliet rolls made from recycled paper among their top considerations, highlighting how overall the environment is much less of a consideration for shoppers than product quality. In a challenge for manufacturers ,81 %of paper product users said they would consider buying recycled toilet tissue if it were comparable in quality to standard paper.46. The market sales of toilet paper have decreased because.A)Britons have cut their spending on itB)its prices have gone up over the yearsC)its quality has seen marked improvementD)Britons have developed the habit of saving4 7. What does the author think of the future of the tissue paper market in the UK?A)It will expand in time.B)It will remam gloomy.C)It will experience ups and downs.D)It will recover as population grows.48. What does Jack Duckett say about toilet paper?A)Special offers would promote its sales.B)Consumers are loyal to certain brands.C)Luxurious features add much to the price.D)Consumers have a variety to choose from.49. What do we learn about Britons concerning toilet paper?A)They are particular about the quality of toilet paper.B)They emphasize the strength of toilet paper the most.C)They prefer cheap toilet paper to recycled toilet paper.D)They reject using toilet paper with unnecessary features.50. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A)More and more Britons buy recycled toilet paper to protect the environment.B)Toilet paper manufacturers are facing a great challenge in promoting its sales.C)Toilet paper manufacturers compete with one another to improve product quality.D)Environmental protection is not much of a concern when Britons buy toilet paper.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage."One of the reasons I find this topic very interesting is because my mom was a smoker when I was younger, " says Lindson-Hawley, who studies tobacco and health at the University of Oxford.By studying about 700 adult smokers ,she found out that her mom quit the right way—by stopping abruptly and completely.In her study, participants were randomly (随机地）assigned to two groups. One had to quit abruptly on a given day, going from about a pack a day to zero. The other cut down gradually over the course of two weeks. People in both groups used nicotine (尼古丁）patches before they quit ,in addition to a second form of nicotine replacement , like gum or spray. They also had talk therapy with a nurse before and after quit day.Six months out, more people who had quit abruptly had stuck with it—more than one-fifth of them, comparedto about one-seventh in the other group. Although these numbers appear low, it is much higher than if people try without support.And the quit rates were particularly convincing given that before the study started, most of the people had said they'd rather cut down gradually before quitting. "If you're training for a marathon, you wouldn't expect to turn up and just be able to run it. And I think people see that for smoking as well. They think,'Well, if I gradually reduce, it's like practice,"'says Lindson-Hawley. But that wasn't the case. Instead of giving people practice, the gradual reduction likely gave them cravi ngs (瘾）and withdrawal symptoms before they even reached quit day, which could be why fewer people in that group actually made it to that point. "Regardless of your stated preference, if you're ready to quit, quitting abruptly is more effective," says Dr. Gabriela Ferre让a." W hen you can quote a specific number like a fifth of the patients were able to quit, that's compelling. It gives them the encouragement, I think, to really go for it," Ferreira says.People rarely manage to quit the first time they try. But at least, she says, they can maximize the odds of success.51. What does Lindson-Hawley say about her mother?A)She quit smoking with her daughter's help.B)She succeeded in quitting smoking abruptly.C)She was also a researcher of tobacco and health.D)She studied the smoking patterns of adult smokers.52. What kind of support did smokers receive to quit smoking in Lindson-Hawley's study?A)They were given physical training.B)They were looked after by physicians.C)They were encouraged by psychologists.D)They were offered nicotine replacements.53.How does Dr. Gabriela Ferreira view the result of Lindson-Hawley's experiment?A)It is idealized.B)It is unexpected.C)It is encouraging.D)It is misleading.54.The idea of "a marathon" (Line 2, Para. 5) illustrates the popular belief that quitting smoking.A)is something few can accomplish B)needs some practice firstC)requires a lot of patience D)is a challenge at the beginning55. What happens when people try to quit smoking gradually?A)They find it even more difficult.B)They are simply unable to make it.C)They show fewer withdrawal symptoms.D)They feel much less pain in the process.Part IV Translation (30 minutes) Directions : 的r this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage f rom Chinese into English.

Of course I was scared,yet I had this strong sense of “I have to do this.”On ly a few months later Leah opened her first yoga studio,but success was not instant.I.Creating the future takes time. That’s why leaders continue to manage the present while building toward the big nonlincar changes of the future.when it’s time to make the Leah stayed with her accounting jod while starting up the yoga studio to make it all work.”I was working 60 hours a week and running a studio.so I wasn’t getting very much sleep.

It has shrunk from £1.19 billion in 2011 to £1. 12billion in 2015, according to a new report from market research company Mintel. Furthermore, the future of the market looks far from rosy, with sales expectedto fall future of the market looks far from rosy, with sales expected to fall further to £1.11billion in 2016.In the last year alone, despite an increase in the UK population and a subsequent rise in the number of households, sales of toilet paper fell by 2%, with the average household reducing their toilet roll spending from £43 in 2014 to £41 in 2015.Overall, almost three in five people say they try to limit their usage of paper-including facial tissue and kitchen roll –to save money. "Strength, softness and thickness remain the leading indicators ODM toilet paper quality, with just a small proportion of consumers preferring more luxurious alternatives, such as those with flower patterns or perfume," said Mintel analyst Jack Duckett. "These extra features are deemed unnecessary by the majority of shoppers, which probably reflects how these types of products are typically more expensive than regular toilet paper, even when on special offer."While consunmers are spending less on toilet paper, they remain fussy-in theory atleast-when it comes to paper quality. Top of Britons' toilet paper wish list issoftness(57%)followed by strength(45%)and thickness(36%).One in 10 buyers rank toilet rolls made from recycled paper among their top considerations, highlighting how overall the environment is much less of a consideration for shoppers than product quality. In a challenge for manufactures, 81% of paper product users said they would consider buying recycled toilet tissue if it were comparable in quality to standard paper.46.【题干】The market sales of toilet paper have decreased because_____.【选项】A.Britons have cut their spending on itB.its prices have gone up over the yearC.its quality has seen marked improvementD.Britons have developed the habit of saving47.【题干】What does the author think of the future of the tissue paper market in the UK?【选项】A.It will expand in time.B.It will remain gloomy.C.It will experience ups and downs.D.It will recover as population grows.48.【题干】What does Jack Duckett say about toilet paper?【选项】A.Special offers would promote its sales.B.Consumers are loyal to certain brands.C.Luxurious features add much to the price.D.Consumers have a variety to choose from.49.【题干】What do we learn about Britons concerning toilet paper?【选项】A.They are particular about the quality of toilet paper.B.They emphasize the strength of toilet paper the most.C.They prefer cheap toilet paper to recycled toilet paper.D.They reject using toilet paper with unnecessary features.50.【题干】What can we infer from the last paragraph?【选项】A.More and more Britons buy recycled toilet paper to protect the environment.B.Toilet paper manufacturers are facing a great challenge in promoting its sales.C.Toilet paper manufacturers compete with one another to improve.D.Environmental protection is not much of a concern when Britons buy toilet paper.Passage TwoQuestions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage."One of the reason I find this topic very interesting is because my mom was a smoker when I was younger," say Lindson-Hawly, who studies tobacco and health at the University of Oxford.By studying about 700 adult smoker, she found out that her mom quit the right way-by stopping abruptly and completely.In her study, participants were randomly(随机地)assigned to two groups. One had to quit abruptly on a given day, going from about a pack a day to zero. The other cut down gradually over the course of two weeks. People in both groups used nicotine(尼古丁)patches before they quit, in addition to a second form of nicotine replacement, like gum or spray. They also had talk therapy with a nurse before and after quit day.Six months out, more people who had quit abruptly had stuck with it-more than one-fifth of them, compared to about one-seventh in the other group. Although these numbers appear low, it is much higher than if people try without support.And the quit rates were particularly convincing given that before the study started, most of the people had said they'd rather cut down gradually before quitting. "If you're training for a marathon, you wouldn't expect to turn up and just be able to run it. And I think people see that for smoking as well. They think, 'Well, if I gradually reduce, it's like practice.' "saysLindsons-Hawley. But that wasn't the case. Instead of giving people practice, the gradual reduction likely gave them cravings(瘾)and withdrawal symptoms before they even reached quit day, which could be why fewer people in that group actually made it to that point. "Regardless of your stated preference, if you're ready to quit, quitting abruptly is more effective,” says Dr. Gabrieia Ferreira, "When you can quote a specific number like a fifith of the patients were able to q uit, that's compelling. It gives them the encouragement, I think, to really go for it,” Ferreira says.People rarely manage to quit the first time they try. But at least, she says, they can maximize the odds of success.51.【题干】What does Lindson-Hawley say about her mother?【选项】A.She quit smoking with her daughter's help.B.She succeeded in quitting smoking abruptly.C.She was also a researcher of tobacco and health.D.She studied the smoking pattems of adult smokers.52.【题干】What kind of support did smokers receive to quit smoking in Lindson-Hawley's study?【选项】A.They were given physical training.B.They were looked after by physicians.C.They were encouraged by pshchologists.D.They were offered nicotine replacements.53.【题干】How does Dr.Gabriela Ferreira view the result of Lindson-Hawley's experiment?【选项】A.It is idealized.B.It is unexpected.C.It is encouraging.D.It is misleading.54.【题干】The idea of "a marathon" (Line 2, Para.5) illustrates the popular belief that quitting smoking _____.【选项】A.is something few can accomplishB.needs some practice firstC.requires a lot of patienceD.is a challenge at the beginning55.【题干】What happens when people try to quit smoking gradually?【选项】A.They find it even more difficult.B.They are simply unable to make it.C.They show fewer withdrawal symptomsD.They feel much less pain in the process.翻译一：2017.6 四级翻译题目一：黄河是亚洲第三、世界第六长的河流。

You may not use any of the words in the bankmore than once.As if you needed another reason to hate the gym, it now turns out that exercise can exhaust not only your muscles, but also your eyes. Fear not, however, for coffee can stimulate them again. During26 exercise, our muscles tire as they run out of fuel and build up waste products. Muscle performance can also be affected by a 27 called "central fatigue," in which an imbalance in the body's chemical messengers prevents the central nervous system from directing muscle movements 28 . It was not known , however , whether central fatigue might also affect motor systems not directly 29 in the exercise itself, such as those that move the eyes. To find out, researchers gave 11 volunteer cyclists a carbohydrate (碳水化合物的）30 either with a moderate dose of caffeine (咖啡因），which is known to stimulate the central nervous system ,or as a placebo (安慰剂）without, during 3 hours of 31 . After exercising ,the scientists tested the cyclists with eye-tracking cameras to see how well their brains could still 32 their visual system. The team found that exercise reduced the speed of rapid eye movements by about 8%, 33 their ability to capture new visual information. The caffeine, the equivalent of two strong cups of coffee, was 34 to reverse this effect, with some cyclists even displaying 35 eye movement speeds. So it might be a good idea to get someone else to drive you home after that marathon.A)cautiously B)commit C)controlD)cycling E)effectively F)increasedG)involved H)limited I)phenomenonJ)preventing K)sensitive L)slowingM)solution N)sufficient O)vigorousSection Ba passage wit ten statements attac e to it.

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 questionsby marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Team SpiritA)Teams have become the basic building blocks of organisations. Recruitment advertisements routinely call for"team players. " Business schools grade their students in part on their performance in group projects. Office managers knock down walls to encourage team building. Teams are as old as civilisation, of course: even Jesus had 12 co-workers. But a new report by Deloitte, "Global Human Capital Trends," based on a survey of more than 7,000 executives in over 130 countries, suggests that the fashion for teamwork has reached a new high.Almost half of those surveyed said their companies were either in the middle of restructuring or about to embark on (开始）it; and for the most part, restructuring meant putting more emphasis on teams.B)Companies are abandoning conventional functional departments and organising employees into cross-disciplinaryteams that focus on particular products, problems or customers. These teams are gaining more power to run their own affairs. They are also spending more time working with each other rather than reporting upwards. Deloitte argues that a new organisational form is on the rise: a network of teams is replacing the conventional hierarchy （等级体制）．C)The fashion for teams is driven by a sense that the old way of organising people is too rigid for both the modemmarketplace and the expectations of employees. Technological innovation places greater value on agility (灵活性）. John Chambers, chairman of Cisco Systems Inc. ,a worldwide leader in electronics products, says that "we compete against market transitions (过渡），not competitors. Product transitions used to take five or seven years; now they take one or two. "Digital technology also makes it easier for people to co-ordinate their activities without resorting to hierarchy. The "millennials" (千禧一代）who will soon make up half the workforce in rich countries were raised from nursery school onwards to work in groups.D)The fashion for teams is also spreading from the usual corporate suspects (such as GE and IBM) to some moreunusual ones. The Cleveland Clinic, a hospital operator, has reorganised its medical staff into teams to focus on particular treatment areas; consultants, nurses and others collaborate closely instead of being separated by speciality (专业）and rank. The US Army has gone the same way. In his book, Team of Teams ,General Stanley McChrystal describes how the army's hierarchicalstructure hindered its operations during the early stages of the Iraq war. His solution was to learn something from the rebels it was fighting: decentralising authority to self-organising teams.E)A good rule of thumb is that as soon as generals and hospital administrators jump on a management bandwagon（追随一种管理潮流），it is time to ask questions. Leigh Thompson of Kellogg School of Management in Illinois warns that, "Teams are not always the answer—teams may provide insight, creativity and knowledge ina way that a person working independently cannot; but teamwork may also lead to confusion, delay and poordecision-making." The late Richard Hackman of Harvard University once argued, "I have no question that when you have a team, the possibility exists that it will generate magic, producing something extraordinary. ..But don't count on it. "F)Hackman (who died in 2013) noted that teams are hindered by problems of co-ordination and motivation thatchip away at the benefits of collaboration. High-flyers (能干的人）who are forced to work in teams may be undervalued and free-riders empowered. Group-think may be unavoidable. In a study of旦Q teams of senior executives, he discovered that less than 10% of their supposed members agreed on who exactly was on the team.If it is hard enough to define a team's membership, agreeing on its purpose is harder still.G)Profound changes in the workforce are making teams trickier to manage. Teams work best if their members havea strong common culture. This is hard to achieve when, as is now the case in many big firms, a large proportionof staff are temporary contractors. Teamwork improves with time: America's National Transportation Safety Board found that 73% of the incidents in its civil-aviation database occurred on a crew's first day of flying together. However, as Amy Edmondson of Harvard points out, organisations increasingly use "team" as a verb rather than a noun: they form teams for specific purposes and then quickly disband them.H)The least that can be concluded from this research is that companies need to think harder about managing teams.They need to rid their minds of sentimentalism (感情用事）：the most successful teams have leaders who are able to set an overall direction and take immediate action. They need to keep teams small and focused: giving in to pressure to be more "inclusive" is a guarantee of dysfunction. Jeff Bezos, Amazon's boss, says that "If I see more than two pizzas for lunch, the team is too big. "They need to immunise teams against group-think: Hackman argued that the best ones contain "deviants" (离经叛道者）who are willing to do something that maybe upsetting to others.I) A new study of 12,000 workers in 17 countries by Steelcase, a furniture-maker which also does consulting, findsthat the best way to ensure employees are "engaged" is to give them more control over where and how they do their work—which may mean liberating them from having to do everything in collaboration with others.J)However, organisations need to learn something bigger than how to manage teams better: they need to be in the habit of asking themselves whether teams are the best tools for the job. Team-building skills are in short supply: Deloitte reports that only 12% of the executives they contacted feel they understand the way people work together in networks and only 21 %feel confident in their ability to build cross-functional teams. Loosely managed teams can become hotbeds of distraction—employees routinely complain that they can't get their work done because they are forced to spend too much time in meetings or compelled to work in noisy offices. Even in the age of open­plan offices and social networks some work is best left to the individual.36.Successful team leaders know exactly where the team should go and are able to take prompt action.37.Decentralisation of authority was also found to be more effective in military operations.38.In many companies, the conventional form of organisation is giving way to a network of teams.39.Members of poorly managed teams are easily distracted from their work.40.Teamwork is most effective when team members share the same culture.41.According to a report by Deloitte, teamwork is becoming increasingly popular among companies.42.Some team members find it hard to agree on questions like membership and the team's purpose.43.Some scholars think teamwork may not always be reliable, despite its potential to work wonders.44.To ensure employees'commitment, it is advisable to give them more flexibility as to where and how they work.45.Product transitions take much less time now than in the past.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 andmark 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.Shoppers in the UK are spending less money on toilet paper to save money ,research has shown.Penny-pinching UK consumers choose cheaper products from discounters such as Aldi and Lidl rather than luxury alternatives.This has wiped 6% off the value of the soft tissue paper market in the UK. It has shrunk from£1. 19 billion in 2011 to£1. 12 billion in 2015, according to a new report from market research company Mintel. Furthermore, the future of the market looks far from rosy ,with sales expected to fall further to£1. 11 billion in 2016.In the last year alone ,despite an increase in the UK population and a subsequent rise in the number of households, sales of toilet paper fell by 2 % , with the average household reducing their toilet roll spending from£43 in 2014 to£41 in 2015.Overall, almost three in five people say they try to limit the让usage of paper—including facial tissue and kitchen roll—to save money. "Strength, softness and thickness remain the leading indicators of toilet paper quality, with just a small proportion of consumers preferring more luxurious alternatives, such as those with flower patterns or perfume, "said Mintel analyst Jack Duckett. " T hese extra features are deemed unnecessary by the majority of shoppers ,which probably reflects how these types of products are typically more expensive than regular toilet paper,even when on special offer."While consumers are spending less on toilet paper, they remain fussy—in theory at least—when it comes to paper quality. Top of Britons'toliet paper wish list is softness (57%) followed by strength (45%) and thickness (36%).One in 10 buyers rank toliet rolls made from recycled paper among their top considerations, highlighting how overall the environment is much less of a consideration for shoppers than product quality. In a challenge for manufacturers ,81 %of paper product users said they would consider buying recycled toilet tissue if it were comparable in quality to standard paper.46. The market sales of toilet paper have decreased because.A)Britons have cut their spending on itB)its prices have gone up over the yearsC)its quality has seen marked improvementD)Britons have developed the habit of saving4 7. What does the author think of the future of the tissue paper market in the UK?A)It will expand in time.B)It will remam gloomy.C)It will experience ups and downs.D)It will recover as population grows.48. What does Jack Duckett say about toilet paper?A)Special offers would promote its sales.B)Consumers are loyal to certain brands.C)Luxurious features add much to the price.D)Consumers have a variety to choose from.49. What do we learn about Britons concerning toilet paper?A)They are particular about the quality of toilet paper.B)They emphasize the strength of toilet paper the most.C)They prefer cheap toilet paper to recycled toilet paper.D)They reject using toilet paper with unnecessary features.50. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A)More and more Britons buy recycled toilet paper to protect the environment.B)Toilet paper manufacturers are facing a great challenge in promoting its sales.C)Toilet paper manufacturers compete with one another to improve product quality.D)Environmental protection is not much of a concern when Britons buy toilet paper.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage."One of the reasons I find this topic very interesting is because my mom was a smoker when I was younger, " says Lindson-Hawley, who studies tobacco and health at the University of Oxford.By studying about 700 adult smokers ,she found out that her mom quit the right way—by stopping abruptly and completely.In her study, participants were randomly (随机地）assigned to two groups. One had to quit abruptly on a given day, going from about a pack a day to zero. The other cut down gradually over the course of two weeks. People in both groups used nicotine (尼古丁）patches before they quit ,in addition to a second form of nicotine replacement , like gum or spray. They also had talk therapy with a nurse before and after quit day.Six months out, more people who had quit abruptly had stuck with it—more than one-fifth of them, comparedto about one-seventh in the other group. Although these numbers appear low, it is much higher than if people try without support.And the quit rates were particularly convincing given that before the study started, most of the people had said they'd rather cut down gradually before quitting. "If you're training for a marathon, you wouldn't expect to turn up and just be able to run it. And I think people see that for smoking as well. They think,'Well, if I gradually reduce, it's like practice,"'says Lindson-Hawley. But that wasn't the case. Instead of giving people practice, the gradual reduction likely gave them cravi ngs (瘾）and withdrawal symptoms before they even reached quit day, which could be why fewer people in that group actually made it to that point. "Regardless of your stated preference, if you're ready to quit, quitting abruptly is more effective," says Dr. Gabriela Ferre让a." W hen you can quote a specific number like a fifth of the patients were able to quit, that's compelling. It gives them the encouragement, I think, to really go for it," Ferreira says.People rarely manage to quit the first time they try. But at least, she says, they can maximize the odds of success.51. What does Lindson-Hawley say about her mother?A)She quit smoking with her daughter's help.B)She succeeded in quitting smoking abruptly.C)She was also a researcher of tobacco and health.D)She studied the smoking patterns of adult smokers.52. What kind of support did smokers receive to quit smoking in Lindson-Hawley's study?A)They were given physical training.B)They were looked after by physicians.C)They were encouraged by psychologists.D)They were offered nicotine replacements.53.How does Dr. Gabriela Ferreira view the result of Lindson-Hawley's experiment?A)It is idealized.B)It is unexpected.C)It is encouraging.D)It is misleading.54.The idea of "a marathon" (Line 2, Para. 5) illustrates the popular belief that quitting smoking.A)is something few can accomplish B)needs some practice firstC)requires a lot of patience D)is a challenge at the beginning55. What happens when people try to quit smoking gradually?A)They find it even more difficult.B)They are simply unable to make it.C)They show fewer withdrawal symptoms.D)They feel much less pain in the process.Part IV Translation (30 minutes) Directions : 的r this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage f rom Chinese into English.
