You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passagethrough carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter.Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single linethrough the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 26 to 35 are based on the following passage.Let ’s all stop judging people who talk to themselves. New research says that those who can ’t seem to keep their inner monologues( 独 白 ) in are actually more likely to stay on task, remain 26 better and show improved perception capabilities. Not bad, really, for some extra muttering.According to a series of experiments published in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology by professors Gary Lupyan and Daniel Swignley, the act of using verbal clues to 27 mental pictures helps people function quicker. In one experiment, they showed pictures of various objects to twenty 28 and asked them to find just one of those, a banana. Half were 29 to repeat out loud what they were looking for and the other half kept their lips 30 . Those who talked to themselves found the banana slightly faster than those who didn ’t ，the researchers say. In other experiments, Lupyan and Swignley found that 31 the name of a common product when on the hunt for it helped quicken someone’s pace, but talking about u ncommon items showed no advantage and slowed you down.Common research has long held that talking themselves through a task helps children learn, although doing so when you’ve 32 matured is not a great sign of 33 . The two professors hope to refute that idea, 34 that just as when kids walk themselves through a process, adults can benefit from using language not just to communicate, but also to help “augment thinking”.Of course, you are still encouraged to keep the talking at library tones and, whatever you do, keep the information you share simple, like a grocery list. At any 35 , there’s still such a thing as too much information.Section BDirections: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Eachstatement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph fromwhich the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once.Eachparagraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the correspondingletter on Answer Sheet 2.Rich Children and Poor Ones Are Raised Very Differently[A] The lives of children from rich and poor American families look more different than ever before.[B] Well-off families are ruled by calendars, with children enrolled in ballet, soccer and after-school programs, according to a new Pew Research Center survey. There are usually two parents, who spend a lotA) Apparently B) Arrogance C) Brilliance D) Claiming E) Dedicated F) Focused G) Incur H) Instructed I) ObscurelyJ) SealedK) spectatorsL) TriggerM) UtteringN) VolumeO) Volunteersof time reading to children and worrying about their anxiety levels and hectic schedules.[C]In poor families, meanwhile, children tend to spend their time at home or with extended family. They are more likely to grow up in neighborhoods that their parents say aren’t great for raising children, and their parents worry about them getting shot, beaten up or in trouble with the law.[D]The class differences in child rearing are growing — a symptom of widening inequality withfar-reaching consequences. Different upbringings set children on different paths and can deepen socioeconomic divisions, especially because education is strongly linked to earnings. Children grow up learning the skills to succeed in their socioeconomic stratum (阶层), but not necessarily others.[E]“Early childhood experiences can be very consequential for children’s long-term social, emotional and cognitive development,” said Sean Reardon, professor of poverty and inequality in education at Stanford University. “And because those influence educational success and later earnings, early childhood experiences cast a lifelong shadow.” The cycle continues: Poorer parents have less time and fewer resources to invest in their children, which can leave children less prepared for school and work, which leads to lower earnings.[F]American parents want similar things for their children, the Pew report and past research have found: for them to be healthy and happy, honest and ethical, caring and compassionate. There is no best parenting style or philosophy, researchers say, and across income groups, 92% of parents say they are doing a good job at raising their children. Yet they are doing it quite differently. Middle-class and higher- income parents see their children as projects in need of careful cultivation, says Annette Lareau, whose groundbreaking research on the topic was published in her book Unequal Childhoods: Class, Race and Family Life. They try to develop their skills through close supervision and organized activities, and teach children to question authority figures and navigate elite i nstitutions.[G]Working-class parents, meanwhile, believe their children will naturally thrive, and give them far greater independence and time for free play. They are taught to be compliant and respectful to adults. There are benefits to both approaches. Working-class children are happier, more independent, complain less and are closer with family members, Ms. Lareau found. Higher-income children are more likely to declare boredom and expect their parents to solve their problems. Yet later on, the more affluent children end up in college and on the way to the middle class, while working-class children tend to struggle. Children from higher-income families are likely to have the skills to navigate bureaucracies and succeed in schools and workplaces, Ms. Lareau said.[H]“Do all parents want the most success for their children? Absolutely,” she said. “Do some strategies give children more advantages than others in institutions? Probably they do. Will parents be damaging children if they have one fewer organized activity? No, I really doubt i t.”[I]Social scientists say the differences arise in part because low-income parents have less money to spend on music class or preschool, and less flexible schedules to take children to museums or attend school events. Extracurricular activities reflect the differences in child rearing in the Pew survey, which was of a nationally representative sample of 1,807 parents. Of families earning more than $75,000 a year, 84% say their children have participated in organized sports over the past year, 64% have done volunteer work and 62% have taken lessons in music, dance or art. Of families earning less than $30,000, 59% of children have done sports, 37% have volunteered and 41% have taken arts classes.[J]Especially in affluent families, children start young. Nearly half of high-earning, college-graduate parents enrolled their children in arts classes before they were 5, compared with one-fifth of low-income, less- educated parents. Nonetheless, 20% of well-off parents say their children’s schedules are too hectic, compared with 8% of poorer parents.[K]Another example is reading aloud, which studies have shown gives children bigger vocabularies and better reading comprehension in school. 71% of parents with a college degree say they do it every day, compared with 33% of those with a high school diploma or less. White parents are more likely than others to read to their children daily, as are married parents. Most affluent parents enroll their children in preschool or day care, while low-income parents are more likely to depend on family members. Discipline techniques vary by education level: 8% of those with a postgraduate degree say they often beat their children, compared with 22% of those with a high school degree or less.[L]The survey also probed attitudes and anxieties. Interestingly, parents’ attitudes toward education do not seem to reflect their own educational background as much as a belief in the importance of education for upward mobility. Most American parents say they are not concerned about their children’s grades as long as they work hard. But 50% of poor parents say it is extremely important to them that their children earn a college degree, compared with 39% of wealthier parents.[M]Less-educated parents, and poorer and black and Latino parents are more likely to believe that there is no such thing as too much involvement in a child’s education. Parents who are white, wealthy or college- educated say too much involvement can be bad. Parental anxieties reflect their circumstances. High- earning parents are much more likely to say they live in a good neighborhood for raising children. While bullying is parents’ greatest concern over all, nearly half of low-income parents worry their child will get shot, compared with one-fifth of high-income parents. They are more worried about their children being depressed or anxious.[N]In the Pew survey, middle-class families earning between $30,000 and $75,000 a year fell right between working-class and high-earning parents on issues like the quality of their neighborhood for raising children, participation in extracurricular activities and involvement in their children’ s education.[O]Children were not always raised so differently. The achievement gap between children from high- and low-income families is 30-40% larger among children born in 2001 than those born 25 years earlier, according to Mr. Reardon’ s research. People used to live near people of different income levels; neighborhoods are now more segregated by income. More than a quarter of children live in single-parent households — a historic high, according to Pew 一and these children are three times as likely to live in poverty as those who live with married parents. Meanwhile, growing income inequality has coincided with the increasing importance of a college degree for earning a middle-class w age.[P]Yet there are recent signs that the gap could be starting to shrink. In the past decade, even as income inequality has grown, some of the socioeconomic differences in parenting, like reading to children and going to libraries, have narrowed.[Q]Public policies aimed at young children have helped, including public preschool programs and reading initiatives. Addressing differences in the earliest years, it seems, could reduce inequality in the next generation.36.Working-class parents teach their children to be obedient and show respect to adults.37.American parents, whether rich or poor, have similar expectations of their children despite different ways of parenting.38.While rich parents are more concerned with their children’s psychological well-being, poor parents are more worried about their children’s safety.39.The increasing differences in child rearing between rich and poor families reflect growing social inequality.40.Parenting approaches of working-class and affluent families both have a dvantages.41.Higher-income families and working-class families now tend to live in different neighborhoods.42.Physical punishment is used much less by well-educated parents.43.Ms. Lareau doesn’t believe participating in fewer after-class activities will negatively affect children’s development.44.Wealthy parents are concerned about their children’s mental health and busy schedules.45.Some socioeconomic differences in child rearing have shrunk in the p ast ten years.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. Youshould decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with asingle line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Tennessee’s technical and community colleges will not outsource(外包) management of their facilities to a private company, a decision one leader said was bolstered by an analysis of spending at each campus.In an email sent Monday to college presidents in the Tennessee Board of Regents system, outgoing Chancellor John Morgan said an internal analysis showed that each campus’ spending on facilities management fell well below the industry standards identified by the state. Morgan said those findings —which included data from the system’s 13 community colleges, 27 technical colleges and six universities —were part of the decision not to move forward with Governor Bill Haslam’s proposal to privatize management of state buildings in an effort to save money.“While these numbers are still being validated by the state, we feel any adjustments they might suggest will be immaterial,” Morgan wrote to the presidents. “System institutions are operating very efficiently based on this analysis, raising the question of the value of pursuing a broad scale outsourcing initiative.”Worker’s advocates have criticized Haslam’s plan, saying it would mean some campus workers would lose their jobs or benefits. Haslam has said colleges would be free to opt in or out of the out souring plan, which has not been finalized.Morgan notified the Haslam administration of his decision to opt out in a letter sent last week. That letter, which includes several concerns Morgan has with the plan, was originally obtained by The Commercial Appeal in Memphis.In an email statement from the state’s Office of Customer Focused Government, which is examining the possibility of outsourcing, spokeswoman Michelle R. Martin said officials were still working to analyze the data from the Board of Regents. Data on management expenses at the college system and in other state departments will be part of a “business justification” the state will use a s officials deliberate the specifics of an outsourcing plan.“The state’s facilities management project team is still in the process of developing its business justification and expects to have that completed and available to the public at the end of Febru ary,” Martin said. “At this time there is nothing to take action on since the analysis has yet to be completed.”Morgan’s comments on outsourcing mark the second time this month that he has come out against one of Haslam’s plans for higher education in Ten nessee. Morgan said last week that he would retire at the end of January because of the governor’s proposal to split off six universities of the Board of Regents system and create separate governing boards for each of them. In his resignation letter, Morgan called the reorganization “unworkable”.46.What do we learn about the decision of technical and community colleges in Tennessee?A)It is backed by a campus spending analysis.B)It has been flatly rejected by the governor.C)It has neglected their faculty’s demands.D )It will improve their financial situation.47.What does the campus spending analysis reveal?A)Private companies play a big role in campus management.B)Facilities management by colleges is more c ost-effective.C)Facilities management has greatly improved in recent years.D)Colleges exercise foil control over their own financial a ffairs.48.Workers’ supporters argue that Bill Haslam’s proposal would .A)deprive colleges of the right to manage their facilitiesB)make workers less motivated in performing dutiesC)render a number of campus workers joblessD)lead to the privatization of campus facilities49.What do we learn from the state spokeswoman’s response to John Morgan’s d ecision?A)The outsourcing plan is not yet finalized.B)The outsourcing plan will be implemented.C)The state officials are confident about the outsourcing plan.D)The college spending analysis justifies the outsourcing plan.50.Why did John Morgan decide to resign?A)He had lost confidence in the Tennessee state government.B)He disagreed with the governor on higher education policies.C)He thought the state’s outsourcing proposal was simply unworkable.D)He opposed the governor’s plan to reconstruct the college board system.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Beginning in the late sixteenth century, it became fashionable for young aristocrats to visit Paris,Venice, Florence, and above all, Rome, as the culmination(终极) of their classical education. Thus wasborn the idea of the Grand Tour, a practice which introduced Englishmen, Germans, Scandinavians, and also Americans to the art and culture of France and Italy for the next 300 years. Travel was arduous and costly throughout the period, possible only for a privileged class—the same that produced gentlemen scientists, authors, antique experts, and patrons of the arts.The Grand Tourist was typically a young man with a thorough grounding in Greek and Latin literature as well as some leisure time, some means, and some interest in art. The German traveler Johann Winckelmann pioneered the field of art history with his comprehensive study of Greek and Roman sculpture; he was portrayed by his friend Anton Raphael Mengs at the beginning of his long residence in Rome. Most Grand Tourists, however, stayed for briefer periods and set out with less scholarly intentions, accompanied by a teacher or guardian, and expected to return home with souvenirs of their travels as well as an understanding of art and architecture formed by exposure to great masterpieces.London was a frequent starting point for Grand Tourists, and Paris a compulsory destination; many traveled to the Netherlands, some to Switzerland and Germany, and a very few adventurers to Spain, Greece, or Turkey. The essential place to visit, however, was Italy. The British traveler Charles Thompsonspoke for many Grand Tourists when in 1744 he described himself as “being impatiently desirous of viewing a country so famous in history, a country which once gave laws to the world, and which is at present the greatest school of music and painting, contains the noblest productions of sculpture and architecture, and is filled with cabinets of rarities, and collections of all kinds of historical relics”. Within Italy, the great focus was Rome, whose ancient ruins and more recent achievements were shown to every Grand Tourist. Panini’s Ancient Rome and Modem Rome represent the sights most prized, including celebrated Greco-Roman statues and views of famous ruins, fountains, and churches. Since there were few museums anywhere in Europe before the close of the eighteenth century, Grand Tourists often saw paintings and sculptures by gaining admission to private collections, and many were eager to acquire examples of Greco-Roman and Italian art for their own collections. In England, where architecture was increasingly seen as an aristocratic pursuit, noblemen often applied what they learned from the villas of Palladio in the Veneto and the evocative ( 唤起回忆的) ruins of Rome to their own country houses andgardens.51.What is said about the Grand Tour?A)It was fashionable among young people of the time.B)It was unaffordable for ordinary people.C)It produced some famous European artists.D)It made a compulsory part of college education.52.What did Grand Tourists have in common?A)They had much geographic knowledge.B)They were courageous and venturesome.C)They were versed in literature and interested in art.D)They had enough travel and outdoor-life experience.53.How did Grand Tourists benefit from their travel?A)They found inspiration in the world’s greatest masterpieces.B)They got a better understanding of early human civilization.C)They developed an interest in the origin of modem art forms.D)They gained some knowledge of classical art and architecture.54.Why did many Grand Tourists visit the private collections?A)They could buy unique souvenirs there to take back home.B)Europe hardly had any museums before the 19th century.C)They found the antiques there more valuable.D)Private collections were of greater variety.55.How did the Grand Tour influence the architecture in England?A)There appeared more and more Roman-style buildings.B)Many aristocrats began to move into Roman-style villas.C)Aristocrats，country houses all had Roman-style gardens.D) Italian architects were hired to design houses and gardens.Part IV Translation (30 minutes) Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese intoEnglish.

Reading Comprehension Part III Section (40minutes) A Directions:In this section,there is a passage with ten blanks.You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage.Read the passage through carefully before making your choices.Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter.Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2with a single line through the centre.You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once. The Sun Is Also a Star is a truly lovely story of love,romance,fate,and destiny.Natasha is a Jamaican-born immigrant living 26 in America,not by choice exactly.Her parents brought her over and created the situation she 27 to be out of.Daniel is an American born of Korean immigrants.He believes in true love,fate,and all that other nonsense that Natasha 28through scientific reasoning.Daniel and Natasha meet by 29 on the streets of New York on the day that she is to be 30 .She doesn’t tell him that but does allow him to keep her company while he tries to get her to fall in love with him over the course of the day.Natasha is me.I found her so similar to myself.She’s scientifically-minded,practical,somewhat cynical,and always 31 .Her obsession with the universe through a scientific lens is infectious and I 32 Daniel seeing that too.Daniel is charming and passionate and has a way with words that even 33 Natasha’s tough outer shell.By the end of the book I fell in love with both of them.I used to find romance stories to always be cheap or laughable.I think now I can see the value in escaping into a story of pure optimism.I got 34 in The Sun Is Also a Star and finished it cover to cover in a weekend.I couldn’t wait to get to what I hoped would be a happy ending.It’s nice every once in a while to give in to magic.It doesn’t have to be a hard fantasy novel with actual spells,it can be the magic found between two people who just have that special something.That 35 that causes them to react and spark when they’re near each other.Section BDirections:In this section,you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it.Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs.Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once.Each paragraph is marked with a letter.Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet2.These are the habits to avoid if you want to make a behavior changeA.According to recent research,behavioral change involves physical changes in the brain.In the past decade,researchers have shown that when it comes to the duration of making a new behavior a deep-rooted habit there is not a simple answer.Even for the most productive and disciplined among us,undoing something that has become an automatic part of who we are takes more than an overnight effort.Once we’ve successfully made that change,we then have to make other adjustments to our lives to ensure that we continue to maintain it,which is often a whole other challenge in itself.B.At its core,success in changing and maintaining a behavior rarely occurs without the introduction of somesort of system.When there isn’t the right framework in place,we face a greater likelihood of derailing our hard-earned progress.To ensure success in changing and maintaining a behavior,we should stay away from some detrimental habits.C.The first one to avoid is relying on willpower.Think about the last time you vowed to resist a temptation.Perhaps you didn’t want to check your phone every15minutes,or you were determined not to reach for a chocolate bar at3p.m.Think about how difficult it must have been not to glance at your phone when it was within reach,or not to walk to the vending machine when your afternoon slump hit.D.The research on whether we have finite or infinite willpower is inconclusive,but experts do generally agreethat you can’t change and sustain a habit if you rely on your willpower alone.The old military saying“You never rise to the occasion,you only sink to the level of training”also applies to behavior change.The idea is simple—you repeat something so many times that it becomes automatic.E.Think about what else you can change about your surrounding that makes it easier for you to perform thischange on a daily basis.This is called your“cue.”Basically,it’s a trigger to perform that particular habit.If you don’t want to reach for a sugary treat at3p.m.,have a box of herbal tea ready at your desk.When3p.m.comes around,that’s your cue to pour yourself a cup of hot water and drink that tea,instead of walking to the vending machine.F.The second one to avoid is focusing on negative goals.Sometimes,it’s not your process that lets you down,but the habit that you want to change in the first place.For starters,not eating chocolate to beat your afternoon slump is a harder goal than swapping chocolate for herbal tea when you reach the designated time.Your brain wants to find routines that have succeeded in the past and allow you to repeat those actions again in the future without having to think about them explicitly.However,this habit-learning system isn’t so effective when it comes to learning not to do something.That’s why rather than giving up something,think about introducing something in its place.Focus on actions you are going to take that will ultimately conflict with the behaviors you want to stop.When your attention is on doing something new,you give your habit system a chance to operate.G.The third one to avoid is using the same strategies in different circumstances.Because we are creatures ofhabit,it’s natural to assume that when we do manage to adopt and sustain a desirable behavior,that same strategy will work when we want to make another behavior change.But that’s not always the case.Sometimes,the system that got you to change one behavior might not work for another.H.Sometimes we become accustomed to relying on our guts when it comes to decision-making.This serves uswell in certain situations,but can hinder us in others especially when we need to consider metrics and data, rather than letting our instinct override everything.For example,if you want to stop checking your email first thing in the morning,you might decide to substitute another activity in its place.But if you want to stop indulging in video games,simply deciding you will go for a run might not be as effective.You might need to introduce another reinforcement,such as meeting a friend and booking an exercise class together.I.The fourth one to avoid is not forgiving ourselves for slipping up.Of course,even the best-laid plans failsometimes.You might have stuck to your screen-free nighttime routine for five days,and then a big project landed on your desk and you found yourself in bed with your laptop before you went to sleep.Or you prepared meals on Sunday and stuck to eating healthy dinners at home,but by Friday you found yourself so exhausted and opted to order greasy takeout.Life happens and even if your behavior change is small,every single day can prove pretty inflexible,and at some point your luck may run out,even if just for a day.The perfectionist in you might be screaming to abandon your goals altogether,but try to see it in the bigger picture.Just because you might have temporarily strayed off course doesn’t mean you can’t start afresh the next day.J.The final one to avoid is discounting small progress.There’s a habit that many perfectionists tend to fall into when they try to establish a behavior change.They focus too much on the big goal and don’t take the time to celebrate the small progress they make in the process.Your brain responds to rewards.The basal ganglia,the brain region linked to our performance of habits,is most active at the beginning of a behavior,when the habit is cued,and at the end,when it’s rewarded.Say your goal is to run five miles three times a week,and this week you ran one mile on Monday,Wednesday,and Friday.Rather than focusing on how far you’ve gone toward your goal,think about how you can reward yourself for the progress you’ve made.It doesn’t have to be big or expensive;it can be something as simple as making your favorite fruit juice after your run.Whatever your reward,it has to be more than just the activity itself to get you going.K.Initiating a new behavior usually seems like the hardest part of the process of change.However,people often fail to adequately prepare for maintaining it.One of the reasons for this is because we mistakenly believe the strategies we used to initiate the change will be equally effective in helping us continue the change.But they won’t.Where changing a strongly deep-rooted habit requires changing our belief about that habit that penetrates deeply into our lives,continually manifesting that wisdom requires that we maintain a positive outlook.If our mood is low,the wisdom to behave differently seems to disappear and we go back to eating more and exercising less.The key,then,to maintaining new behaviors is to be happy!Which is why it’s so hard to maintain new behaviors.L.Remember,overcoming the behavioral inertia that prevents us from implementing new changes,like eatinga healthy diet or exercising,can benefit us in the long run and can improve our physical and mental health.No one was born with habits.They were all learned,and can all,therefore,be unlearned.The question is: how badly do you really want to change?36.There is general consensus among experts that willpower alone cannot guarantee one’s success in changingand maintaining a habit.37.One need not abandon their goals completely just because they missed their target temporarily;they canstart anew.38.Research shows it is quite another challenge to maintain a behavioral change after you have initiated it.39.It is wrong to assume the strategies we use to start a change of behavior will work equally well in helpingmaintain it.40.Sometimes,it may not be successful to simply substitute one activity with another to effect a change ofhabit;you may need extra reinforcement.41.One should introduce something new to replace an old habit instead of simply kicking it.42.Perfectionists focus too much on their big target and neglect celebrating the small gains they make in theprocess.43.It is of great benefit to us in the long term to conquer the inertia that stops us from making behavioralchanges.44.The strategy that successfully changed one of your behaviors may not work for some other behavior ofyours.45.Without a happy mood,it seems that our wisdom to adopt a different behavior vanishes.Section CDirections:There are2passages in this section.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet2with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions46to50are based on the following passage.The“American Dream”promises that in the Land of Opportunity,any individual can climb the economic ladder and prosper through hard work and ambition alone.And yet,young Americans today are struggling to earn more than their parents did at the same age,and upward mobility in the US actually compares unfavourably to that of other industrialised nations.So why does the idea of the American Dream persist?A new study in the American Journal of Political Science identifies one factor that has been overlooked:the influence of reality TV.Reality shows have come to dominate US television over the past20years,notes Eunji Kim from Vanderbilt University.And the overwhelming majority of these have a“rags-to-riches”storyline:they feature ordinary Americans who work hard to achieve great economic success.And while these programmes are regularly among the most-watched shows,news broadcasts—which paint a more realistic view of the economic hardship faced by millions of Americans—get a much smaller proportion of the viewership.Rags-to-riches stories are ubiquitous(无处不在的)on TV—but does watching these programmes actually convince people that economic mobility is easily attainable?To find out,Kim’s team had participants watch a5-minute clip from a reality show with a rags-to-riches storyline.Control participants watched a clip from a reality show that didn’t have a rags-to-riches story.After watching the shows,participants rated how much they agreed with four statements relating to the American Dream.The results showed that those who’d watched a rags-to-riches clip did indeed have a significantly greater belief in the American Dream.Interestingly,when participants were separated by party affiliation,this effect was significant among Republicans but not Democrats,suggesting that the kind of messages implicit in these TV shows may play into people’s existing socioeconomic beliefs.Kim also conducted a survey of3,000US residents.They also rated the extent to which they believed success in life is related to various internal factors(such as ambition)and external factors(such as family wealth).Finally,they read a list of TV programmes and indicated which they regularly watched.Participants who were heavy viewers of rags-to-riches programmes or frequent viewers had a stronger belief in the American Dream than those who never watched such shows.Kim concludes that“rags-to-riches entertainment media are an important cultural force that promotes and perpetuates beliefs in upward mobility”.And here’s the problem:if people mistakenly believe that hard work is all that is needed for individuals to make a better life for themselves,they may be less supportive of policies that could actually combat inequality.“In this era of choice,entertainment media are what captures hearts and minds,”Kim writes.“Its political consequences are anything but trivial”.46.What do we learn from the passage about young Americans of today?A.They have greater ambitions than their parents.B.They find it difficult to achieve upward mobility.C.They have overtaken their parents in terms of earnings.D.They envy the opportunities in other industrialised nations.47.What does Kim’s team find about reality TV shows in America?A.They reinterpret the essence of the popular rags-to-riches culture.B.They urge people to achieve economic success through hard work.C.They help strengthen people’s conviction in the American Dream.D.They feature ordinary Americans striving for social recognition.48.What does the author say about news broadcasts in America?A.They attract far fewer viewers than reality TV.B.They are bent on reporting the dark side of life.C.They stand in striking contrast with reality TV.D.They focus on Americans’economic hardships.49.What can we infer from the passage about Republicans in general?A.They believe strongly in the American Dream.B.They strive to climb the socio-economic ladder.C.They have a very strong affiliation with their party.D.They tend to watch more rags-to-riches TV shows.50.What is stated about people who believe in upward mobility?A.They are likely to blame the government for their plight.B.They regard political consequences as anything but trivial.C.They respect individuals striving to climb the social ladder.D.They are less likely to approve of policies to fight inequality.Passage TwoQuestions51to55are based on the following passage.When someone asks us“what do you do?”we nearly always reply with our occupation.Work,for many of us,is much more than a job.It is the defining aspect of our identity.For many of us it is through our job that we can define ourselves.“Without my job I don’t know who I am,”is a sentence that has been uttered on more than a handful of occasions from my office chair.Indeed,it can be one of the most challenging aspects I work on with clients who have lost or been forced into changing their jobs.This loss provokes an identity crisis much greater than the loss of the job itself.One of the things I have come to understand,however,is that our identity is much more complex than werecognise at first glance.If we take the time to reflect we might recognise that as well as our work we can also identify as a friend,a spouse,a son or daughter,a parent,a member of a sports team or religious community.We may recognise that we feel and act differently in these roles and relationships than we do at work.The passive daughter becomes an assertive leader at work.Furthermore,our identities at work are not static.They change over time.I myself have been a shop assistant,a waitress,a student,a graduate,and a clinical psychologist.At each stage my ability to adapt to and develop my career identity has been crucial to my wellbeing.Whilst we like to eliminate uncertainty in our lives at some level we have to manage uncertainty,especially in today’s volatile and ever-shifting job market.How we see ourselves is central to the isue of our identity.When we tell ourselves“I’m good at starting projects but not so great at seeing them through”it can become part of our belief system.But if you have the unfortunate experience of an enforced job change you will need to examine those beliefs to see how grounded in reality they are.You will be required to ask yourself how helpful these beliefs are and consider personal change.We can change our beliefs,behaviours and emotional experience at any time through experimentation, practice and conscious self-discipline.In an age where career progression may lead us into new sectors it is ever more important to challenge our sense of self and explore whether you can create a new experience of your identity by changing the beliefs you hold about yourself in order to expand your career options.Ultimately it is you who define who you are.You are only your job if you let it be so.51.What do we learn from the passage about one’s loss of a job?A.It compels them to visit a clinical psychologist.B.It offers them a chance to play different roles.52.What has the author come to understand about our C.It renders them puzzled about who they are.D.It forces them to redefine their life’s goals.identity?A.It is crucial to our emotional wellbeing.B.It plays a big role in many facets of life.53.What does the passage say about our identities atC.It reflects our changing status in society.D.It is more complicated than it appears. work?A.They are essential to our self-esteem.B.They evolve with the passage of time.54.What do we have to do in today’s ever-changing jobC.They overrule all other self-perceptions.D.They are key to understanding ourselves. market?A.Strive to develop our social identity.B.Prepare for different career paths.55.What should we do to expand our careerC.Try to be assertive at all times.D.Learn to manage uncertainty. options?A.Alter our perceptions of ourselves.pare various job opportunities.C.Look into newly emerging sectors.D.Exercise self-discipline consciously.Part IV Translation(30minutes) Directions:For this part,you are allowed30minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.You should

B) Employ the most up-to-date technology.C) Export bikes to foreign markets. D) Expand their domestic business.10.A) The state subsidizes small and medium enterprises.B) The government has control over bicycle imports.C) They can compete with the best domestic manufactures.D) They have a cost advantage and can charge higher prices.11.A) Extra costs might eat up their profits abroad.B) More workers will be needed to do packaging.C) They might lose to foreign bike manufacturers.D) It is very difficult to find suitable local agents.12.A) Report to the management.

But you must admit the market here is limited.M: Yes, but it’s safe. The government keeps out foreigners with import controls. So I must admit I feel sure we could hold our own against foreign bikes.W: I agree. That’s why I am suggesting exporting. Because I feel we can compete with the best of them.M: What you are really saying is that we’d make more profit by selling bikes abroad, where we have a cost advantage and can charge high prices.W: Exactly.M: But, wait a minute. Packaging, shipping, financing, etc. will push up our cost and we could no better off, maybe worse off.W: OK. Now there are extra cost involved. But if we do it right, they can be built into the price of the bike and we can still be competitive.M: How sure are you about our chances of success in the foreign market?W: Well, that’s the sticky one. It’s going to need a lot of research. I’m hoping to get your help. Well, come on, Jack. Is it worth it, or not?M: There will be a lot of problems.W: Nothing we can’t handle.M: Um… I’m not that hopeful. But, yes, I think we should go ahead with the feasibility study.W: Marvelous, Jack. I was hoping you be on my side.9. What does the woman intend to do?10. Why does the man think it’s safe to focus on the home market?11. What is the man’s concern about selling bikes abroad?12. What do the speakers agree to do?Questions 13 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.13.A) Coal burnt daily for the comfort of our homes.B) Anything that can be used to produce power.C) Fuel refined from oil extracted from underground.D) Electricity that keeps all kinds of machines running.14.A) Oil will soon be replaced by alternative energy sources.B) Oil reserves in the world will be exhausted in a decade.C) Oil consumption has given rise to many global problems.D) Oil production will begin to decline worldwide by 2025.15.A) Minimize the use of fossil fuels. B) Start developing alternative fuels.C) Find the real cause for global warming. D) Take steps to reduce the greenhouse effect. Conversation 2W: What does the term “alternative energy source”mean?M: When we think of energy or fuel for our homes and cars, we think of petroleum, a fossil fuel processed from oil removed from the ground, of which there was a limited supply. But alternative fuels can be many things. Wind, sun and water can all be used to create fuel.W: Is it a threat of running out of petroleum real?M: It has taken thousands of years to create the natural stores of petroleum we have now. we are using what is available at a much faster rate that it is being produced over time. The real controversy surrounding the mass petroleum we have is how much we need to keep in reserve for future use. Most experts agree that by around 2025, the petroleum we use will reach a peak. Then production and availability will begin to seriously decline. This is not to say there will be no petroleum at this point. But it’ll become very difficult and therefore expensive to extract.W: Is that the most important reason to develop alternative fuel and energy sources?M: The two very clear reasons to do so, one is that whether we have 60 or 600 years of fossil fuels left, we have to find other fuel sources eventually. So the sooner we start, the better off we will be. The other big argument is that when you burn fossil fuels, you release substances trapped into the ground for a long time, which leads to some long-term negative effects, like global warming and greenhouse effect.13. What do we usually refer to when we talk about energy according to the man?14. What do most experts agree on according to the man?15.

Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once.Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by making the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Why we need tiny collegesA) We're experiencing the rebirth of smallness.Farmers markets, tiny homes,and brew pubs all exemplifyour love of smallness.So do charter schools,coffee shops, and local bookstores. Small is often (but not always) more affordable, healthier, and sustainable, but its finest characteristic, the one that turns charm into love, is that going small allows us to be more fully who we are.B)In higher education the trend is mostly in the opposite direction: Universities with20,000 or30,000students are considered"mid-sized".The nation's largest university, Arizona State University, has 80,000 students on campus and aims to enroll another100,000 students online. At the other end of the spectrum is a handful of colleges that have fewer than a hundred students on campus and no online courses: colleges such as Sterling College, Thomas More College of Liberal Arts,and Deep Springs College. These colleges are so small that they can only be called"tiny."C)Tiny colleges focus not just on a young person's intellect,but on the young person as a whole. Equallyimportant, tiny colleges ask,"How can education contribute to human flourishing and the well-being of the world?" And they shape a college experience to address that question. They replace concerns about institutional growth with attention to the growth of students as fully developed participants in their communities.D) I've had the privilege of teaching at three different institutions of higher learning during my career-a smallliberal arts college and two mid-sized public universities.I've also been profoundly disappointed in each of these institutions,and in many of my colleagues,especially when it comes to helping students and preparing them for the many responsibilities of adulthood.Administrators focus on the business of running a university, and most faculty focus on their scholarship and teaching their discipline. Little deliberate attention is given to how students mature as individuals and social beings.E)Having just retired from teaching at a public university,I'm now returning to my hometown of Flagstaff,Arizona, to establish a tiny college—Flagstaff College. I'm convinced there's a need for another type of education, one devoted to helping students come into their own and into this beautiful and troubled world. Young people need an education that will provide them with meaning, hope, courage, and passion,as well as information and skills. Large institutions,I believe, are particularly ill-suited to this type of education.F) There's no "best of" list when it comes to tiny colleges, at least not yet. But around the country people arecreating new colleges that provide an alternative to small liberal arts colleges, large public universities, and online education.G) With only26students,Deep Springs is the smallest college in the country and, quite likely,the mostatypical (非典型的).Located on a working cattle ranch on the California-Nevada border,Deep Springs is a private,residential, two-year college for men, committed to educating students for "a life of service to humanity." Founded by the electricity tycoon(大亨)L.L. Nunn in1917,Deep Springs "curriculum"revolves around academics,labor,and self-governance. In addition to their courses,students are charged with running the 155-acre ranch and overseeing the functioning of the college.Students chair both the admissions and the curriculum committees.H)"Living in close community with one's teachers and fellow students, and being forced to take on adultresponsibilities,makes for one's growth as a person,"says William Hunt,who graduated last year."To exist for very long in a community like that,you have to get over the question of whether you're sufficiently talented or principled and get started worrying about how you can stretch yourself and your peers, how much you can manage to learn with them."I) Sterling College, in Craftsbury Common, Vermont,is also very small-fewer than 100 students.UnlikeDeep Springs,Sterling focuses its curriculum on environmental and social justice issues, but like Deep Springs it places a high value on personal responsibility and manual labor. According to its catalog, a college education at Sterling combines"rigorous academics, roll-up-your-sleeves challenges, and good old hard work."J)The average tuition at a small liberal-arts college is$30,000to $40,000a year, not including the cost of living on campus, as compared to $8,000 to$10,000 a year for tuition alone at a public university. Of the tiny colleges,only Deep Springs doesn't charge tuition or room and board;students pay only for books and the cost of traveling to and from college.If tiny schools are to become a player on the higher education scene, they will need to find a way to be truly affordable.K) Doing so may not be that difficult so long as they do not pattern themselves too closely on existing norms. We've come to believe that a good college should have many academic programs and excellent facilities, posh (豪华的) dorms, an array of athletic programs, and a world-class student activity center.Imagine a good college without a climbing wall! We also have accepted the idea that college presidents, and their many vice-presidents,should be paid like their counterparts in the business world and that higher education requires an elaborate, up-to-date technology infrastructure. All of this drives up the cost of education.L) The"trick" to making tiny colleges affordable, if that's the right word, is simplicity. At its core, education is a human-to-human interaction. Reflecting on his own college education, President Garfield once commented that an ideal college would consist of nothing more than the legendary teacher Mark Hopkins on one end of a log and a student on the other. The economics of a tiny college, in other words, might be similar to that of a tiny house. Because it is small,a tiny house costs less to build and less to furnish, insure, and maintain. But the economic benefits of a small house don't end there.Tiny homes discourage homeowners from buying stuff that they really don't need, because there's no place to put it.M) I'm a late convert to the idea of tiny colleges,and I fully understand the need for many diverse types of educational institutions. Academic research and job training are important, but tiny colleges aren't suited for either. The educational needs of a complex society are themselves complex, and no single model can meet all of these needs. But I'm now convinced there's an educational need that's now going almost completely unmet: namely, the need to help young people transition into adulthood. Tiny colleges can do this better than any other type of educational institution.N) The ultimate justification for a tiny college is the conviction that each of us comes into our full humanity by close interaction with those who know and care for us, and that one of the basic purposes of higher education is social. Although we give lip service to the idea that a college education will make us betterpeople, when all's said and done, we think of higher education primarily in economic terms. We've come to think of higher education as a means to make a living rather than make a life. We've also come to see higher education as a private good rather than a public one. Tiny colleges are not the answer to all of our educational requirements, but they're an answer to one of our most basic educational necessities; the need to produce thoughtful, engaged, and compassionate human beings.36.One tiny American college situated on a cattle farm is devoted to educating students to serve mankindthroughout their lives.37. Much to the author's disappointment, the three institutions of higher learning where she taught largelyignore students'growth as social beings.38. Tiny colleges must be made affordable in order to play a role in higher education.39.According to a recent graduate from a tiny college, living together with faculty and fellow students isconducive to a student's growth as a person.40. Rather than going small, most American universities are trying to go big.41. In a certain tiny college, rigorous academic work and traditional manual labor are integrated.42. Tiny colleges focus on educating students to become well-rounded citizens instead of seeking their ownexpansion.43. The essence of education lies in the interaction between people.44. After her retirement, the author has decided to set up a tiny college in her hometown.45.Tiny colleges are justified as it is believed that our growth into full humanity comes through interactionwith people near and dear to us.Section CDirections:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.If you're someone who has turned to snacking on junk food more in the pandemic (大流行病), you're not alone.Investigative reporter Michael Moss says processed food is engineered to hook you, not unlike alcohol, cigarettes, or other harmful substances. His 2013 book, Salt Sugar Fat, explored food companies'aggressive marketing of those products and their impact on our health. In his new book, Hooked, Moss updates the food giants' efforts to keep us eating what they serve,and how they're responding to complaints from consumers and health advocates.Processed food is inexpensive, it's legal,and it's panies'advertising is cueing us to remember those products and we want those products constantly. So the food environment is oneof those key things that makes food even more problematic for so many people. Memory, nostalgia (怀旧) in particular, plays a big role in the foods we crave.Soda companies discovered that if they put a soda in the hands of a child when they're at a ball game with their parents, that soda will forever be associated with that joyous ter in life,when that child wants to experience a joyous moment,they're going to think of soda. Many people seek comfort in the snacks they remember from childhood.Moss examines the way companies capitalize on our memories, cravings and brain chemistry to keep us snacking.One of the reasons I came to think that some of these food products are even more powerful, more troublesome than drugs can be is memory.What we eat is all about memory.And we begin forming memories for food at a really early age. And we keep those memories for a lifetime. Knowing this,the food industry spends lots of time trying to shape the memories that we have for their products.Oneof the features of addiction that scientists studying drug addiction discovered back in the 1990s was that the faster a substance hits the brain,the more apt we are as a result to act impulsively.There's nothing faster than food in its ability to hit the brain. For Moss, this puts the notion of "fast food" in an entirely new light as this isn't limited to fast food chains-almost 90% of food products in grocery stores are processed foods. Everything in the industry is about speed, from manufacturing to packaging.Overall, Moss outlines the industry's dependence on making their products inexpensive,superdelicious, and incredibly convenient for consumers. Now that more and more people care about what they put in their bodies and are wanting to eat healthier, these companies are finding it really difficult to meet that new demand because of their own addiction to making these convenience foods.46. In what way does Michael Moss think processed food is comparable to alcohol and cigarettes?A) They are all addictive. C) They are all engineered to be enjoyed.B) They are all necessary evils. D) They are all in increasingly great demand.47. What does the author say plays a key role in the foods we crave?A) The food environment. C) Convenience.B) Aggressive marketing. D) Memory.48. What do food companies do to capitalize on consumers' association with their food products?A) They strive to influence how consumers remember their products.B) They attempt to use consumers' long-term memories to promote addiction.C) They try to exploit consumers' memories for their products as early as possible.D) They endeavor to find what consumers remember about their products.49. How does the food industry operate from manufacturing to packaging, according to Moss?A) Placing the idea of fast food in an entirely new light.B)Setting no limit to the number of fast food chains.C) Focusing on how quickly the work is done.D) Prioritizing the quality of their products.50. Why are companies finding it difficult to satisfy consumers' demand for healthier food products?A) They think speed of production outweighs consumers' health.B) They believe their industry would perish without fast foods.C) They have to strike a balance between taste and nutrition.D) They are hooked on manufacturing convenience foods.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Chimpanzees (黑猩猩),human beings'closest animal relatives, share up to 98%of our genes. Yet humans and chimpanzees lead very different lives. Fewer than300,000wild chimpanzees live in a few forested corners of Africa today, while humans have colonized every corner of the globe.At more than 7 billion, human population dwarfs that of nearly all other mammals—despite our physical weaknesses.What could account for our species'incredible evolutionary successes?One obvious answer is our big brains. It could be that our raw intelligence gave us an unprecedented ability to think outside the box, innovating solutions to thorny problems as people migrated across the globe.But a growing number of cognitive scientists and anthropologists (人 类 学 家) are rejecting that explanation. They think that, rather than making our living as innovators, we survive and thrive precisely because we don't think for ourselves. Instead, people cope with challenging climates and ecological contexts by carefully copying others.In a famous study, psychologists Victoria Horner and Andrew Whiten showed two groups of test subjects-children and chimpanzees-a mechanical box with a treat inside.In one condition,the box wasopaque,while in the other it was transparent.The experimenters demonstrated how to open the box to retrieve the treat, but they also included the irrelevant step of tapping on the box with a stick.Oddly, the children carefully copied all the steps to open the box,even when they could see that the stick had no practical effect.That is, they copied irrationally:Instead of doing only what was necessary to get their reward, children slavishly imitated every action they'd witnessed.Of course, that study only included three- and four-year-olds. But additional research has shown that older children and adults are even more likely to mindlessly copy others'actions, and infants are less likely to over-imitate—that is, to precisely copy even impractical actions.By contrast,chimpanzees in the study only over-imitated in the opaque condition. In the transparent condition-where they saw that the stick was mechanically useless-they ignored that step entirely. Other research has since supported these findings.When it comes to copying, chimpanzees are more rational than human children or adults.Where does the seemingly irrational human preference for over-imitation come from?Anthropologist Joseph Henrich points out that people around the world rely on technologies that are often so complex that no one can learn them rationally.Instead,people must learn them step by step, trusting in the wisdom of more experienced elders and peers.So the next time you hear someone arguing passionately that everyone should embrace nonconformity and avoid imitating others, you might laugh a little bit. We're not chimpanzees, after all.51. What might explain humans'having the largest population of almost all mammals?A) They are equipped with raw strength for solving the most challenging problems.B) They cope with the outside world more effectively than their animal relatives.C) They possess the most outstanding ability to think.D) They knowhow to survive everywhere on earth.52. What accounts for humans'evolutionary successes according to a growing number of cognitive scientists and anthropologists?A) They are better at innovating solutions.B) They thrive through creative strategies.C) They are naturally adaptive to ecological contexts.D) They meet challenges by imitating others carefully.53.What does the author think is odd about the findings of the study by Victoria Horner and Andrew Whiten?A) Children irrationally imitated every action of the experimenters.B) Chimpanzees could tell the transparent box from the opaque one.C) Chimpanzees could retrieve the treat more quickly than children did.D) Children omitted the step of tapping on the box with a stick to open it.54. What is anthropologist Joseph Henrich's explanation for the human preference for copying?A) It originates in the rationality of people around the world.B) It stems from the way people learn complex technologies.C) It results from people distrusting their own wisdom.D) It derives from the desire to acquire knowledge step by step.55. What point does the author want to emphasize when he says "We're not chimpanzees"?A) It is arguable whether everyone should avoid imitation.B) It is characteristic of human beings to copy others.C) It is desirable to trust in more knowledgeable peers.D) It is naive to laugh at someone embracing nonconformity.Part IV Translation (30 minutes)Directions:For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage f rom Chinese into English.
