Use the word given in the brackets to form a word that fits in the space.The general crisis has overtaken the modern world everywhere and in almost every aspect of life. And the crisis shows __18__ (it) differently in each country, involving different areas and taking on different forms. In the United States of America, one of its most characteristic and suggestive aspects is the crisis that __19__ (appearance) again in education that, during the last decade at least, has now become a __20__ (politics) problem of the first significance, reported on almost daily in the newspapers.To be sure, no great __21__ (imagine) is required to detect the dangers of a constantly progressing decline of elementary standards throughout the entire school system, and the seriousness of the trouble has been __22__ (proper) underlined by the countless efforts, which are certainly ineffective, of the __23__ (educate) authorities to stem the tide (扭转局面).Still, if one compares this crisis in education with the experiences of other countries in the __24__ (twenty) century, with the revolutionary confusing state after the First World War, with concentration and extermination camps, or even with the deep discomfort which, despite appearances of prosperity (繁荣) to the contrary, has spread throughout Europe ever since the end of the Second World War, there is to a small extent __25__ (difficult) to take a crisis in education as seriously as it deserves.It is tempting indeed to regard it as a local phenomenon, unconnected with the __26__ (large) issues of the century, to be blamed on some peculiar life in the United States which is not likely to find a counterpart (对应物) in other parts of the world.Yet, if this were true, the crisis in our school system would not have become a political issue and the educational authorities would not have been __27__ (able) to deal with it in time. Section C (共10分，每小题1分)Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.I have been told by more than one bookseller that, here in China, so far as books on English are concerned, grammars sell better than other kinds of books except readers and dictionaries. And __28__ seems to me that nearly every Chinese who learns English at all reads a grammar. I myself am a serious student of grammar; I cannot tell how many English grammar books I __29__, by Chinese, English, American, Japanese, Danish and Dutch authors, and am always on the look-out for new ones.The object of this article, __30__, is to advise you not to devote too much time to the study of grammar. I study grammar for grammar’s sake, but I do not think every student of English should do so. You study English in order to be able to make practical use of it. This object __31__ by mere study of grammar. I do not even think I should now be able to write such simple English __32__ that of this book if I had read nothing but grammars.Grammar tells you some general rules, some exceptions to rules, and perhaps some idioms. But the correct use of English is not a mere matter of such. __33__, grammar has what is called the double object, as in “He gave her a pen”; but it would be wrong to say “He introduced her a friend”, in which “her” and “friend” seem to __34__ the double object. The fact is that “introduce” cannot take the double object; but this point is not to be learnt from grammar but only from careful reading. Many Chinese students write __35__ that might be justified by one grammatical rule or another but are certainly wrong.I believe you have already read a few grammars, and probably have spent a great deal of time on the subject, though you __36__ not now be able to write anything —say a short letter —grammatically perfect. Grammar can help you to use English, but only to a certain extent. Careful reading and constant practice are __37__. Do not look on the study of grammar as all or nearly all that you have to do in order to master English.28. A. there B. it C. that D. what29. A. have read B. was reading C. had read D. would read30. A. therefore B. moreover C. however D. somehow31. A. hasn’t obtained B. wasn’t obtained C. isn’t to obtain D. isn’t to be attained32. A. which B. as C. that D. where33. A. In addition B. In brief C. For example D. As a result34. A. form B. cause C. define D. state35. A. articles B. stories C. essays D. sentences36. A. should B. may C. need D. must37. A. the most important B. much more naturalC. the most convenientD. far more importantIII. Reading Comprehension (共30分)Section A(共22分，每小题2分)Directions: Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Have you ever wished that you could make your little sister’s teddy bear talk to her? Or have you ever wanted to bring a puppet (木偶) to life? If so, you may be interested in learning the art of ventriloquism (腹语术). A ventriloquist can make an ordinary object seem to be alive by giving it a personality, movement, and speech.Your object can be a puppet, or a doll. Give your new “friend” a name, and then decide on the personality that he will have. The next step is to give your friend movements that agree with the personality you have chosen.Now you can learn to make your “friend” talk. A ventriloquist will control his mouth and lips so that it will appear that his voice is coming from the object he is using. This will take practice, but you can do it.First, decide on a voice that is different from your own. It could be higher or lower than yours, or could even have a special accent. Then, find a clean teaspoon and hold the handle between your front teeth. Now, look into a mirror and talk, using the voice you created for your friend and holding the handle of the teaspoon tightly between your teeth. Practicing with the spoon in your mouth will help you learn to keep your mouth from moving. Now try telling a joke in your normal voice and have your friend speak in his voice. Practice those words until you can say them without your lips moving at all.Ventriloquism is fun. It also requires hard work to become good at it. The most important thing to do is practice. But if you are willing to take the time to give your friend an interesting personality, to practice lively movements, and to work on good mouth control, then you will be well on your way to becoming a ventriloquist!38. According to the text, a ventriloquist ______.A. is a person who can make puppetsB. needs to work with another personC. can speak without using his mouthD. can make an object seem to speak39. You need to hold the handle of a teaspoon between your front teeth so that ______.A. your voice will become differentB. your mouth and lips will not moveC. you can tell a more interesting jokeD. you can feel your mouth’s movements40. If you want to be good at ventriloquism, you ______.A. need to spend much time practicingB. must learn from famous ventriloquistsC. should learn at least one special accentD. must have a great doll to practice with(B)Ask most American children what they want to be when they grow up, and they probably will say “doctor” or “lawyer.”Though our culture, our economy, indeed our very security are heavily dependent on science and engineering, only 12 percent of American high school students graduate with the prerequisites (必要条件) for a career in science or engineering. Worse yet, only 6 percent of minority children are said to be so prepared.Don’t be too surprised. If you ask further why the majority of the high school students would choose a career in medicine or law, the answers will be straight out of some popular TV shows.“Doctors help people. They save lives.” “Lawyers beat the bad guys.” Most students would say.Now, how about science or engineering as a career choice? The answers will be just as predictable: “Get real! Who wants to be a geek? They all are nerds(书呆子). Besides, I hate math.”In our media, scientists and engineers typically are portrayed as introverted(内向的) and humorless. They always wear white lab coats, with a collection of pencils in their pocketprotectors. They wear glasses with black plastic frames.If more students are to choose technical careers, they must have a better view presented to them.They need to be told, for instance, that the invention of lifesaving equipment saves lives just as surely as the application of it in the hospital.It also might help if someone emphasized to students that the lawyer who saved the defendant (被告) by introducing the DNA evidence would have seen him hanged had it not been for the scientists who discovered DNA.Whatever we do, until students stop thinking of the term “engineer” as a synonym (同义词) for “geek,” it is impossible to expect our children to change their views towards scientists and engineers.41. What is the problem with most American children when they choose their careers?A. They have a very low opinion of science and engineering.B. They are too anxious to succeed in different fields.C. They are not sure what career suits them best.D. They do not have enough confidence in themselves.42. Which of the following has influenced American students greatly in their choice of their careers?A. Parents’ and teachers’ opinions.B. TV shows and various publications.C. Great discoveries made by doctors and lawyers.D. Culture, security and economy.43. In order to change the students’ view towards scientists and engineers, the writer suggests that______.A. teachers reconsider their way of teaching mathematicsB. scientists and engineers change their images a little bitC. the media stop praising doctors and lawyers excessivelyD. students be told about the wonders of science and engineering44. Judging from what is said in the passage, the writer obviously believes that ______.A. scientists and engineers are more important than doctors and lawyersB. scientists and engineers are not as important as doctors and lawyersC. science and engineering have been dangerously ignoredD. there are too many doctors and lawyers nowadays(C)Like to kick back for an afternoon siesta (午休)? Good news: A new study shows that regular napping may cut your risk of dying of a heart attack of other heart problems.Researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) and the University of Athens Medical School in Greece, tracked 23,681 apparently healthy men and women, aged from 20 to 86, for more than six years. They found those who took afternoon siestas of 30 minutes or more at least three times a week had a 37 percent lower risk of dying from heart disease than those who did not.What is more impressive is that researchers found that working men who took regular or occasional naps had a 64 percent lower risk of death from heart attacks or other heart-related illnesses than their non-napping compeers. And working women? “The apparent effect was evident mainly among working men.” says author Dimitrios Trichopculos who leads the study. “There were not enough coronary (冠心病) deaths among the working women (only six ) in this group to allow sound inference.”Trichopoulos, a cancer prevention and epidemiology(流行病学) professor at HSPH, says researchers decided to look into this issue, because coronary death tends to be low in populations in which the frequency of siestas tends to be high. Trichopoulos says that their working hypothesis (假设) has been that napping may have stress-releasing properties and that if further studies net similar results, “then lifestyle changes that would allow after noon napping might have to be considered.” Of course, that’s easier said than done, especially in the United States, where employers are not exactly known to encourage workers to nap. “I am fully aware that the lifestyle in the US does not leave much room for changes of this type,” he says.But afternoon siestas have long been a part of daily life in Greece, where the study took place, as well as in other Mediterranean and some Latin American countries, which tend to have low mortalityrates (死亡率) from coronary disease. The Mediterranean diet, rich in fruit, vegetables, beans and olive oil, has also been credited (相信) for keeping a lid on heart disease. Trichopoulossays the study considered diet, physical activity and other factors that are predictive of coronary mortality.He notes that researchers would like to review the data again once there are “more outcomes among men and particularly women.” “No firm conclusion can be drawn on the basis of this study alone, except that the issue is worth further i nvestigation,” Trichopoulos says. “Right now, we would only believe those who take a siesta that this may actually be not simply pleasant and relaxing, but also a healthy habit.”45. Why are workers least encouraged to take naps in the United States?A. Because the employers are strongly against workers’ taking naps.B. Because the workers are not accustomed to taking naps.C. Because the workers do not have much room to take naps.D. Because their lifestyle prevents the changes of this type.46. The underlined phrase “keeping a lid on” in paragraph 5 probably means ______.A. being closely related toB. providing a cure forC. reducing the risk ofD. explaining the cause of47. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT correct?A. The effect of taking naps on preventing heart attacks was obvious among working men.B. The effect of taking naps on preventing heart attacks was obvious among all workers.C. Vegetables and fruits are believed to be good for preventing death from coronary disease.D. Taking afternoon siestas is not only pleasant and relaxing, but also a healthy habit48. This writer’s attitude towards taking afternoon siestas is most probably ______.A. positiveB. negativeC. doubtfulD. unclearSection B (共8分，每小题2分) （请将答案写在答题纸上）Directions：Read the following job ad and complete the sentences that follow.

Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections:Read the following two passages. Fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word. For the other blanks, fill in each blank with one proper word. Make sure that your answers are grammatically correct.(A)“Time,” says the proverb, “is money”. This means that every moment well-spent may put some money into our pockets.If our time (25) ______ (employ) usefully, it will either turn out some useful and important piece of work which will fetch its price in the market, or it will add to our experience and increase our capacities so as to enable us to earn money when the proper opportunity comes. Let those, (26) ______ think nothing of wasting time, remember this.Our life is nothing more than our time. To kill time is therefore a form of suicide. We are shocked (27) ______ we think of death, and we spare no pains, no trouble, and no expense to preserve life.But we often care nothing about the loss of an hour or of a day, (28) ______ (forget) that our life is the sum total of the days and of the hours we live. Our life is a brief period measuring some seventy or eighty years in all. So a day or an hour (29) ______ (waste) is therefore so much life lost.But nearly one third of this has to be spent in sleep; some years have to be spent over our meals; some in watching over the sick-beds of our (30) ______ (near) relatives; some in making journeys on land and voyages by sea.Now if all these years were to be decreased from the term over which our life extends, we shall find about twenty or thirty years at our disposal (处置) for active work. (31) ______ remembers this can never willingly waste a single moment of his life.The precious hours of childhood and youth, if properly used, (32) ______ (supply) us with incalculable advantages. If we allow these morning hours of life to slip away, we shall never be able to make up for the loss.(B)Home on the WayPeople need homes: children assume their parents’ place as home; boarders call school “home” on weekdays; married couples work together (33) ______ (build) new homes; and travelers … have no place to call “home”, at least for a few nights.So how (34) ______ people who have to travel for extended periods of time? Don’t they have the right to have a home? Of course they do.Some regular travelers take their own belongings: like bed sheets, toothbrushes and family photos to make them feel like home (35) ______ ______ ______ they are; some stay for long periods in the same hotel and as a result become very familiar with service and attendants; others (36) ______ simply put some flowers by the hotel window to m ake things more homely. Furthermore, driving a camping car during one’s travels and sleeping in the vehicle at night is just like (37) ______ is generally thought of as “home” -- only mobile!And how about maintaining relationships while in transit? Some keep contact with their friends via internet; some send letters and postcards, or even photos; (38) ______ may just call and say hi, just to let their friends know that they’re still alive and well. People find ways to keep in touch. (39) ______ (make) friends on the way helps travelers feel more or less at home. Backpackers in youth hostels may become very good friends, even closer than siblings.Nowadays, fewer people are working in their local towns, so how do they develop a sense of belonging? Whenever w e step out of our local boundaries, there is always another “home” waiting to be found. Wherever we are, with just a little bit of effort and imagination, we can make (40) ______ place where we stay “home”.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A book entitled “Jiading –Centuries of History, Decades of Change” by American writer Kate Baker has recently been published in Shanghai. New book launch was held last week at the Old China Hand Style, a major __41__ of a series of walking guide books called “Beyond the Concession: Six Walks in Shanghai’s Other Districts.” And Baker’s “Jiading” runs the fourth among the six.From a foreign point of view, the book has __42__ the history of Jiading District back between the year Tang Dynasty (618-907) and the Song Dynasty (960-1279), when Jiading had been “a leading economic and intellectual influence in the region long before Shanghai became a major trading port,” a s Baker is __43__ in her book.Baker first landed in Shanghai in 2011 with her husband, an engineer with Ford, who was sent to work in Shanghai to prepare for the __44__ of the Lincoln brand in China. “I and my husband have been traveling around the wo rld in the past 20 years,” Baker said at a(n) __45__ with Shanghai Daily. “Wherever I go, I would jump into the local history and culture quickly and deeply.”Having taken a 15-month online course of Chinese with Harvard’s “China X”, Baker started __46__ o ut on her own. An occasional excursion into the northwest of Shanghai, she “discovered” and fell in love with Jiading. Since then, she has visited Jiading __47__, bringing family, friends, and tour groups. At the end of 2013, the Jiading Tourism Bureau officially invited Baker to write a book on Jiading.With up-to-date facts, useful information and __48__ pictures, Baker's “Jiading” is a well researched guide about interesting areas less than one hour from Shanghai. There are chapters on celebrating the seasonal and agricultural festivals that are unique to the region; stories of __49__ figures living in Jiading; changes to the Nanxiang Old Town; tours to numerous gardens, museums and temples; and the development of outdoor recreational activities in Jiadin g’s Anting Town, such as the F1 car racing, horse riding and golf.With good public __50__ and enough green space, Baker sees Jiading a high growth district of Shanghai, which offers a quality of lifestyle and tourism. “I see a better-planned and forward-thinking of the district government. And I sincerely thank the people of Jiading who welcomed me to their community and trusted me with their narrative,” Baker says.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Harvard LibraryIf we compare professors and students to the host of auniversity, then the library of a university can be comparedto the hallway. The quality of a university, __51__, is indirect proportion to that of its library. At Harvard, the libraryis an essential part of everybody’s life. Both the quantity andthe __52__ of the library make study a pleasant process.Harvard Library is not only the most ancient library inthe United States, but the largest university library with thelargest scale. In 1638 John Harvard __53__ his whole libraryto the then Harvard College. After 300 years of development,the library now holds 10 million books and __54__ more than 100 branch libraries. In addition to the libraries owned by each school, there are some branch libraries that are __55__ in some aspects. While most of the branch libraries are on Harvard campus, some are as far as in Washington, D.C., or even in Florence of Italy. Yenching Library is famous for its __56__ of East Asian literature. Lamont Library is the first library in the world that is __57__ for undergraduates. Widener Library is the largest library in Harvard, only second to Library of Congress.What __58__ to be mentioned is the system or rather the service of the libraries. Usually the libraries are open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.. The main libraries are open until 10 p.m.. The libraries for undergraduates will even be open all night during the __59__ period. The libraries also provide with students the service of __60__ reading materials for all courses. At the beginning of a semester, each teacher will give a list of books to the librarians. The librarians are __61__ to find out these books and put them at the places where students can easily find them.There is no limitation for the number of books that students can borrow. As the space for the library is limited, many books are __62__ in suburban library. Despite this, students can go to fetch the book at the __63__ library within 24 hours after they submit request for that book. Even if there is only one book to be fetched from the suburban library, the libraries on campus will send someone to do the job. This kind of __64__ which put readers in the first place is rare even in Ivy League. Therefore, study at Harvard will be a(n) __65__ experience.51.A.as a result B. to some extent C. on the contrary D. at all times52.A.influence B. discipline C. quality D. prospect53.A. donated B. assigned C. adapted D. distributed54.A.contains B. composes C. involves D. includesrmative B. different C. secure D. peculiar56.A.collections B. documents C. phenomena D. exhibitions57.A.unusually B. formally C. specially D. especially58.A.remains B. happens C. appears D. deserves59.A.examination B. experiment C. vacation D. graduation60.A.confirming B. preparing C. selecting D. designing61.A.desperate B. willing C. reluctant D. responsible62.A.exhibited B. reserved C. stored D. classified63.A.appointed B. accepted C. expected D. restricted64.A.performance B. service C. activity D. response65.A.fortunate B. creative C. positive D. enjoyableSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)How Would You Like to Pay?How do you pay for your coffee? Is it with change? I use my tap-and-go card. I don’t even need to enter my PIN number or a signature to approve payment. It’s quicker and everybody in the queue is happy.Contactless payments are gaining popularity. Those concerned about security will be pleased to know that the amount of money you can spend in one-go is limited –in the UK it’s currently £30. But if the card is used a few times in a row, a PIN number will be needed. If a thief gets hold of your card and goes on a crazy shopping, your bank covers you against fraud. However, if someone steals your bills, that’s your bad luck!For those who are always forgetting where they put their cards, there’s a new solution: wearable technique: clothing and devices that have combined electronic technology. Kenneth Cukier, an economist and technology expert, says: “You can simply take any wireless card and the chip (芯片) from it that your bank might issue you with, and you can put it in a coat. When you want to make a payment just wave your arm in front of the terminal and leave the coffee shop with your latte(拿铁咖啡). This is intended for people who don’t want to take their card out of their wallet, use their phone or their watch.”Good, isn’t it? And new ways of spending money a re not stopping there. The future is all about biometrics(生物识别技术). Very convenient if you are at the beach or a festival –there’s a new system in development which will make it possible to read the unique maps of veins (静脉) under the surface of your finger, and use them to confirm payments –or prove that it’s you making the payments. You just need to remember which finger you registered with.So spending money is becoming easier all the time. And the temptation to buy more stuff increases. But it’s worth bearing in mind that earning the money in the first place will still require the same effort. Back to work then!66. A thief wouldn’t be able to buy much with a stolen wireless card because ______.A. the card doesn’t permit withdrawing money more than £30B. there’s a limit to the amount of money spent at a timeC. the wireless card must be used a few times in one-goD. a PIN number is always required before payment67. The underlined word “fraud” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “______”.A. theftB. protectionC. cheatD. prevention68. What must be done before you use biometrics for payment?A. You must prove that it’s you making the payments.B. You must have a smart phone or a watch with you.C. You must have something to read your fingers.D. You must have one of your fingers registered.69. What can be learned from this passage?A. People’s banking information is kept in a small chip.B. People can only use a wireless card to consume coffee.C. Wearable technique is the safest way to make a payment.D. A tap-and-go card needs a signature to approve payment.(B)Asia TEFL and the Far Eastern English Language Teachers’ Association 14th Asia TEFL International Conference and 11th FEELTA International Conference invite proposals for their joint conference on language teaching and learning:“Connecting Professionally on ELT in Asia:Crossing the Bridge to Excellence”to be held on 30 June – 2 July, 2016 atThe Far Eastern Federal University, Vladivostok, RussiaCALL FOR PRESENTATIONSConference DescriptionThe 14th Asia TEFL and 11th FEELTA international conference places emphasis on working towards special skills or knowledge in English Language Teaching through being connected professionally in Asia and worldwide.

Scientists havefor the first time observed ripples in the fabric of space time(时空涟漪) called gravitational waves, arriving at the earthfrom a severely destructive event in the distant universe. Itconfirms a major prediction of Albert Einstein’s 1915 generaltheory of relativity and opens a unique new window onto the universe, according to a group of scientists at a press conference in Washington on Thursday.“This is truly scientific moonshot. We did it. We landed on the moon,” declared David Reitz, executive director of the LIGO Laboratory at Caltech, at the conference in the National Press Club.According to the National Science Foundation (NSF) experts, gravitational waves carry information about their dramatic origins and about the nature of gravity that cannot be obtained from elsewhere. Physicists have concluded that the detected gravitational waves were produced during the final fraction of a second (千分之一秒) of the combination of two black holes to produce a single, much bigger turning black hole. This fierce shock of two black holes had been predicted but never observed by NSF.The gravitational waves were detected on Sept 14, 2015 at 5:51 am EDT by both of the twin Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) detectors, located in Livingston, Louisiana, and Hanford, Washington.Based on the observed signals, LIGO scientists estimate that the black holes for this event were about 29 and 36 times the weight of the sun, and the event took place 1.3 billion years ago. About three times the weight of the sun was changed into gravitational waves in a fraction of a second -- with a peak power output about 50 times that of the whole visible universe. By looking at the time of arrival of the signals -- the detector in Livingston recorded the event 7 milliseconds (毫秒) before the detector in Hanford -- scientists can say that the source was located in the Southern Hemisphere, according to a press release from NSF, which funded the research.This new LIGO discovery is the first observation of gravitational waves themselves, made by measuring the tiny disturbances the waves make to space and time as they pass through the earth. “Our observation of gravitational waves accomplishes an ambitious goal set out over five decades ago to directly detect this puzzling phenomenon an d better understand the universe, and, properly, fulfills Einstein’s prediction on the 100th anniversary of his general theory of relativity,” Reitze said.74. By saying “This is truly scientific moonshot. We did it. We landed on the moon,” what does Davi d Reitzmean?A. We humans truly landed on the moon this time.B. The theory of relativity was not proved until today.C. Gravitational waves arrived at the earth in the end.D. Scientists successfully observed gravitational waves.75. What do NSF experts talk about in the third paragraph?A. Gravitational waves carry information about the origins of nature.B. The nature of gravity cannot be obtained from gravitational waves.C. The combination of two black holes can produce a single, much bigger turning black hole.D. Gravitational waves only appear at the final fraction of a second of the shock of two black holes.76. According to the observed signals, LIGO scientists find out that ______.A. the two black holes which brought about this event were much bigger than the sunB. about three times the weight of the sun became gravitational waves in this eventC. the event produced by the observed signals took place 1.3 billion years agoD. the peak power output was about 50 times that of the whole universe77. From this passage, a conclusion can be drawn that ______.A. gravitational waves can make disturbances to space and timeB. Einstein predicted the observed gravitational waves in the universeC. gravitational waves is not a puzzling phenomenon to the world any moreD. this new LIGO discovery was made to test the general theory of relativitySection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.The World Health Organization (WHO) has declaredthe spread of mosquito-born Zika virus a global publichealth emergency. On Monday, the global health agencyheld an emergency meeting in Geneva after warning thepublic that Zika is spreading “explosively” across t heAmericas. Dr. Margaret Chan, the director-general of theWHO, said after the meeting that the cases of microcephaly,which is a birth disease in which babies are born with verysmall heads and underdeveloped brains, in regions withZika cases, “become an extraordinary event and a public health threat to other parts of the world.”Last week, health officials confirmed one case of the virus in Denmark, five in Great Britain, three cases in the United States and 18 in its territory of Puerto Rico. The global health organization also predicts that Zika could infect as many as four million people in the Americas this year.The symptoms from the virus are minor. The symptoms are flu-like and include a rash (皮疹). But the results for some infected with Zika -- namely pregnant women -- are destructive. The WHO suspects the virus may have something to do with brain disorders in babies. Health experts highly suspect there may be a link between the illness and microcephaly. However, a definite link between Zika and microcephaly has not been proven.World Health Organization spokesman Gregory Hartl has this to say, “So, one of the curiosities is why we have so many neurological (神经学的) cases in the northeast of Brazil, but we have not had it in other places. So, we really need to understand what is existing that causes these microcephaly cases, for example, in children.”Hartl does not agree with claims that the Zika virus could lead to a threat similar to that of Ebola (埃博拉病毒). He says that Ebola is transmitted by contact with bodily fluids (体液) from person to person and kills about 50 percent of its victims. “Zika has never killed a person and it is transmitted by the mosquito. So, we know that there are those two basic differences at least. Let us say that Zika on its own would not be the consideration of an emergency committee. What is the concern to the international community is the possible link with neurological disorders.”(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)78. The cases of microcephaly are generally seen in the places ______.79. Who should pay special attention to the infection of the virus to avoid its terrible result?80. What puzzles the health experts about the cases of microcephaly?81. What causes the global concern is that the mosquito-born Zika virus may ______.第II卷（共47分）I.

We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to (26)______ I listened every morning .I do not remember myself (27)______(cry) for this reason again. In fact I thinkI cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but (28)______ idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even (29)______(complex) for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. However, my responsibilities in the family increased a lot since my English was superior (30)______ anyone else’s at home. I translated at interviews with immigration officers, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.From my experiences, I believe that my life will turn out all right (31)______ ______ it is not that easy.(B)How Room Designs Affect Our Work and FeelingArchitects have long had the feeling that the place we live in can affect our thoughts, feeling and behaviours. But now scientists are giving this feeling an empirical（实证的）basis. They are discovering how (32)______(design) spaces that promote creativity, keep people focused, and lead to relaxation.Researches show aspects of the physical environment can influence creativity. In 2012, Joan Meyers-Levy reported that the height of a room’s ceiling affects (33)______ people think. Her research indicates that higher ceilings encourage people to think more freely, (34)______(lead) them to make more abstract connections. Low ceilings, on the other hand, may inspire a more detailed outlook. Besides ceiling height, the view (35)______(afford) by a building may influence an occupant’s ability to concentrate.Using nature to improve focus of attention ought to pay off academically, and (36)______ seems to, according to a study. Students in classrooms with unblocked views of at least 50 feet outside the window had higher scores on tests of vocabulary, language arts and maths than did students (37)______ classrooms primarily overlooked roads and parking lots.Recent study on room lighting design suggests that dim light helps people loosen up. (38)______ that is true generally, keeping the light low during dinner or at parties could increase relaxation.So far public buildings (39)______(focus) on by scientists. “We have a very limited number of studies, so we are almost looking at the problem through a straw (吸管),” architect David says. “How do you take answers to very specific questions and make broad use of them That is (40)______ we are all struggling with.”Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. effectB. aggressivelyC. additionalD. merelyE. chargedF. appliedG. intended H. registered I. punishment J. slight K. offenceForeign drivers will have a pay on-the-spot fines of up to ￡900 for breaking the traffic law to be carried out next month.If they do not have enough cash or a working credit card, their vehicles will be clamped（扣留）until they pay — and they will face a(n) 41 fee of ￡80 for getting back their vehicles.The law will also be 42 to British citizens. The fines will be described officially as “deposits” when the traffic laws take 43 , because the money would be returned if the driver went to court and was found not guilty. In practice, very few foreign drivers are likely to return to Britain to deal with their cases.Foreign drivers are rarely 44 because police cannot take action against them if they fail to appear in court. Instead, officers often 45 give warnings. Foreign vehicles are 30 percent more likely to be in a crash than British-registered vehicles. The number of crashes caused by foreign vehicles rose by 47 percent between 2008 and 2013. There were almost 400 deaths and serious injuries and 3,000 46 injuries from accidents caused by foreign vehicles in 2013.The new law is partly 47 to settle the problem of foreign lorry drivers ignoring limits to weight and hours at the wheel. Foreign lorries are three times more likely to be in a crash than British lorries. Recent spot checks found that three q u a r t e r s o f l o r r i e s t h a t f a i l e d s a f e t y t e s t s w e r e48 overseas.The standard deposit for a careless driving 49 —such as driving too close to the vehicle in front or reading a map at the wheel—will be ￡300.Foreign driversw i l l n o t g e t p o i n t s a s50 added to their licenses, while British drivers will.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.PlanningIn any planning system, from the simplest budgeting to the most complex corporate planning, there is an annual process. This is partly due to the fact that firms 51 their accounting on a yearly basis, but also because similar 52 often occur inthe market.Usually, the larger the firm, the longer the planning takes. But 53 , planning for next year may start nine months or more in advance, with various stages of evaluation leading to 54 of the complete plan three months before the start of the year.Planning continues, however, throughout the year, since managers 55 progress against targets, while looking forward to the next year. What is happening now will 56 the objectives and plans for the future.In today’s business climate, as markets constantly change and become more difficult to 57 , some analysts believe that long-term planning is 58 . In some markets they may be right, as long as companies can build the sort of flexibilityi n t o t h e i r o p e r a t i o n s w h i c h a l l o w s t h e m t o59 to any sudden changes.Most firms, however, need to plan more than one year ahead in order to 60 their long-term goals. This may reflect the time it takes to commission (委任) and build a new production plant, or, in marketing 61 , it may be a question of how long it takes to research and launch a range of new products, and reach a certain 62 in the market. If, for example, it is going to take five years for a particular airline to become the 63 choice amongst business travellers on certain routes, the airline must plan for the various 64 involved.Every one-year plan, therefore, must be 65 in relation to longer-term plans, and it should contain die stages that are necessary to achieve the final goals.51.

A. handed over B. left behind C. made out D. drawn upSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)My dad loved pennies, especially those with the elegant stalk (茎) of wheat curving around each side of the ONE CENT on the back. Those were the pennies he grew up with during the Depression.As a kid, I would go for walks with Dad, spying coins along the way—a penny here, a dime (一角硬币) there. Whenever I picked up a p enny, he’d ask, “Is it a wheat” It always thrilled him when we found one of those special coins produced between 1909 and 1958, the year of my birth.One gray Sunday morning in winter, not long after my father’s death in 2002, I was walking down Fifth Avenue, feeling bereft. I found myself in front of the church where Dad once worked. I was warmly shown in and led to a seat. Hearing Dad’s favorite “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God”, I burst into tears. We’d sung that at his funeral.After the service, I shook the pastor’s(牧师) hand and stepped onto the side walk—and there was a penny. I bent to pick it up, turned it over, and sure enough, it was a wheat. A 1944, a year my father was serving on a ship in the South Pacific.That started it. Suddenly wheat pennies began turning up on the sidewalks of New York everywhere. I got most of the important years: his birth year, my mom’s birth year, the year he graduated from college, the year he met my mom, the year they got married, the year my sister was born. But alas, no 1958 wheat penny—my year, the last year they were made.The next Sunday, after the service, I was walking up Fifth Avenue and spotted a penny in the middle of a crossing. Oh, no, it was a busy street；cabs were speeding by—should I risk it I just had to get it.A wheat! But the penny was worn, and I couldn’t read the date. On arriving home, I took out my glasses and took it to the light. There was my birthday!I found 21 wheat pennies on the streets of Manhattan in the year after my father died, and I don’t think that’s a coincidence.66. The writer’s father loved pennies with wheat because ________.A. when he first saw it, he began to love itB. when he saw the wheat, he thought of his time during the DepressionC. when he was young, he had a lot of pennies with wheatD. when he was a child, he never got a coin with wheat67. The underlined word “bereft” (in means ________.A. protestedB. disappointedC. grievedD. offended68. Which of the following statements about the author is NOT trueA. He was born in 1958.B. He knew the church well.C. He once worked in a church.D. He went to church because of his father.69. The best title for the passage would probably be ________.A. Pennies from HeavenB. My father’s life storyC. My father’s hobbyD. Living in New York(B)Do you want to get home from work knowing you have made a real difference in someone’s life If yes, don’t care about sex or age! Come and join us, then you’ll make it!70. What does the underlined part meanA. You’ll make others’ lives more meaningful with this job.B. You’ll arrive home just in time from this job.C. You’ll earn a good salary from this job.D. You’ll succeed in getting this job.71. The volunteers’ major responsibility is to help people with learning disabilities________.A. to get some financial supportB. to properly protect themselvesC. to learn some new living skillsD. to realize their own importance72. Which of the following can first be chosen as a volunteerA. The one who can drive a car.B. The one who has done similar work before.C. The one who has patience to listen to others.D. The one who can use English to communicate.73. The text serves as ________.A. a reminder to social workersB. an advertisement for helpersC. a document on appealing for volunteersD. an introduction about a socialcare organization(C)There are desert plants which survive the dry season in the form of inactive seeds. There are also desert insects which survive as inactive larvae (幼虫). In addition, difficult as it is to believe, there are desert fish which can survive through years of droughts in the form of inactive eggs. These are the shrimps (小虾) that live in the Mojave Desert, an intensely dry region in the south-west of the United States where shade temperatures of over 50℃ are often recorded.The eggs of the Mojave shrimps are the size and have the appearance of grains of sand. When sufficient spring rain falls to form a lake, once every two to five years, these eggs hatch. Then the water is soon filled with millions of tiny shrimps about a millimetre long which feed on tiny plant and animal organisms which also grow in the temporary desert lake. Within a week, the shrimps grow from their original 1 millimetre to a length of about centimetres.Throughout the time that the shrimps are rapidly maturing, the water in the lake equally rapidly evaporates (挥发). Therefore, for the shrimps it is a race against time. By the twelfth day, however, when they are about 3 centimetres long, hundreds of tiny eggs form on the underbodies of the females. Usually by this time, all that remains of the lake is a large, muddy patch of wet soil. On the thirteenth day and the next, during the final hours of their brief lives, the shrimps lay their eggs in the mud. Then, having ensured that their species will survive, the shrimps die as the last of the water evaporates.If sufficient rain falls the next year to form another lake, the eggs hatch, and once again the shrimps pass rapidly through their cycle of growth, adulthood, egg-laying, and death. Some years there is insufficient rain to form a lake: in this case, the eggs will remain dormant for another year, or even longer if necessary. Very, very occasionally, perhaps twice in a hundred years, sufficient rain falls to form a deep lake that lasts a month or more. In this case, the species passes through two cycles of growth, egg-laying, and death. Thus, on such occasions, the speciesmultiplies considerably, which further ensures its survival.74. Which of the following is the most distinctive feature of Mojave shrimpsA. They live a brief and tough life.B. They feed on plant and animal organisms.C. Their eggs can survive years of drought.D. They lay their eggs in the mud.75. The word “dormant” (in Para 4) most probably means ________.A. inactiveB. strongC. alertD. soft76. What can be inferred from the passageA. appearance and size are important factors for life to survive in the desert.B. a species must be able to multiply quickly in order to survive in the desert.C. for some species one life cycle in a year is enough to survive the desert drought.D. some species develop a unique life pattern to survive in severe conditions.77. The passage mainly deals with ________.A. the life span of the Mojave shrimpsB. the survival of desert shrimpsC. the creatures living in the Mojave desertD. the importance of water to life in the desertSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.The greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women in America, or probably in the world.During the twentieth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the time of a woman’s life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children, her work is lightened by modern living conditions.This important change in women’s life-pattern has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left schools at the first chance, and most of them took a full-time job. However, whenthey married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women usually marry younger, more married women stay at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full or part-time work.Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life, and with the both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money and running the home in terms of the abilities and interests of each of them.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)78. At what age did most women get married in the late nineteenth century79. A woman today can still take care of her children when doing paid work in theirforties because of ________.80. Of “such changes” today, one is that many more mothers ________ after their first child is born.81.
