My View on Major-hopping—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————Part II (10 ’)Skimming and Scanning(15minutes)Directions:In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statementsattached to it. Each statement contains information given in one ofthe paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information isderived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraphis marked with a letter.Answer the questions by marking thecorresponding letter on Answer Sheet .Companies must decide: Is a business trip worth it?Competition can spur travel[A]Business travel dropped precipitously last year. The U.S. Travel A says roughly $215 billion was spent on business travel in 2009, down from $244 billion in 2008. The travel industry predicts an uptick this year. There was a1.5% increase in spending on travel and entertainment during the first quarterof 2010 compared with that period last year, says Mike McCormick, executive director of the National Business Travel Association, or NBTA,and a 2.8% increa the first quarter of 2010 over the fourth quarter of 2009.[B]And that travel can spur more—for competitive reasons. "The stabilizin and growing economy puts companies, competitors, back out on the road — esp sales departments," says Kevin Mitchell of the Business TravelCoalition. "So you can't really sit back like you were able to comfortably do through most of 2009, comforted in the knowledge that most of your competitors were scaling travel way back as well."[C]Some business-travel analysts say that for businesses to profit and grow, travel is essential. An NBTA study conducted by IHS Global Insight determined that for every dollar spent on corporate travel, the average business would see $15 in profits. "The only way to grow sales is to go out and get them," McCormick takes is for (a company) to lose that piece of business becausetheir competitor showed up and they didn't, and they're back on the road."[D]Ultimately when evaluating whether to hit the road, corporate travel experts say, companies are trying to figure if the potential for revenue in the near future o line is greater than the cost of the trip. Such decisions are oftenas much art as science. They depend on many factors, including a company's priorities, the service or product it's selling, and the status of a particular client relationship and transaction.[E]"It's very much down to individual companies and what they prioritize," says Eric Bausman, of Carlson Wagonlit Travel, a global firm that helps companies manage corporate travel programs. "Typically ... those initial introductory meetings, the very first sales calls until you make the sale,those a you really target for being in the room with the customer." Once a relationshipis established,Bausmansays, a business might consider visiting the frequently, supplementing "those trips with virtual meetings: cellphone calls, Web meetings and video conferences."范文范例指导学习Giving technology a try[F]The economic downturn has compelled many businesses to consider or betterutilize virtual meeting technology,corporate travel experts say. Options include telephone conference calls,streaming a meeting via the Internet,or telepresencing, in which large screens can make meeting participants in anotherpart of the world appear to be practically sitting across the conference table.The Association of Corporate Travel Executives says the percentage of its members who were "seriously looking" into using videoconferencing rose from 21% in 2007to 81% in 2009.The cost of communication technology has dropped and quality has improved, industry analysts say.[G]Megan Costello, executive director of the Association of Corporate TravelExecutives,says it's increasingly being used by companies to cut d own on internal meetings that would require travel—trips that manyof the association's members said were using up to 40%of the corporate travel budget but not producing revenue.[H]An American Express Business Travel survey conducted in January found 74% of respondents said they use or plan to use audio conferencing as an alternativeto travel,while 71.6% were using or planned to use Web-based online conferencing or videoconferencing as an option."In the vast majority of our client discussions ...in terms of new enhancements with our program or areas of interest they'd like us to explore, virtual meetings are always at the top of the list,"says Issa Jouaneh, a vice president at American Express Business Travel.[I]American Express Business Travel launched its virtual-meeting expert service in August. Consultants work with a client considering a corporate trip, askingabout the meeting's goals and such things as the number of people who would attend. Based on the answers,they advise whether a virtual meeting might be more efficient.[J]Many businesses are also using corporate online booking tools to help would-be road warriors decide whether to go or stay.GetThere — a business unit of Sabre Travel network,which provides such a tool—says that last year many companies movedthe question asking about the purpose of the trip from the end of the booking process to the beginning. Depending on the reason you give—"training," for example, or"customer visit"—a message is triggered as to whether to consider an alternative such as a Web conference or if you'll need to get approval forthe trip.Of GetThere's more than3,000clients,the number using dynamic messaging — which also advises on preferred suppliers if you are going to take the trip — more than doubled last year.[K]Eventually,says Chris Kroeger, GetThere's president, the booking calculate which way to go. But even if the dollar figures say a teleconferenceis the way to go, Kroeger says, the person involved should be able to say ifthe meeting is best done face-to-face.When only a meeting will do[L]Although some advisers expect some business trips will be re technology, they say technology won't become a wholesale substitute for meetin in-person."It's not that we're going to suddenly switch from all face-to-face to all by virtue of technology," says John Millikin, who teaches strategy and human resources management at Arizona State University. "You m have a rise in the use of technology to supplement face-to-face meetin you are getting a little bit of the better of two worlds."[M]Last year, Knight, the machinery company executive from Columbus, says his business trips were reduced by at least 25%. He adds that his company has use videoconferencing for some training and is exploring using it for othe as well. Still, he says, "I just don't believe you can exactly boil it down to:'Here are guidelines. Either you can close business with this trip or there'sno trip.' I think that's a mistake." The impact of each trip has to be examined, Knight says."There are certain places where it's obvious I need to go "Sometimes that's to hold a hand. Sometimes it's to help them understand on a project that you're just not getting through by e-mail or phone or d[N]For some businesses,there are no complex calculations to make. Ear who with his wife has an advertising and Webmarketing agency in Fort M says that during the depths of the recession,they took pay cuts and red fees. But they refused to cut travel. And he's not about to start now. "If a customer wants to see you,you go,"Quenzel says."If you even think th might want to see you or could use a little TLC, you go see them. And the same with a prospect....You don't cut the things that involve(serving)yo or winning new business. It's just stupid."1.

Passage TwoLevittown was the name given to three suburban developments constructed in the post World War II decades by Levitt and Sons, the most important private builder of this period. Using new mass production techniques they had learned while building housing for military personnel during the Second World War, they overwhelmingly welcomed by the public. They were cheap, comfortable, and ideal for young people just starting out in life. Thousands of middle class people, especially someyoung couples, crowded in city apartments, or st with their parents, rushed to purchase them. Fourteen hundred contracts were signed in one day in 1949.Levittown symbolized the most significant social trend of the postwar erain the United States----the flight to the suburbs. The resulting massive shiftin population from the central city to the suburbs was accompanied by a babyturned home building from a cottage industry into a major manufacturing process.During World War II, they received government contracts to build homes forwar workers. Under deadline pressure, they developed mass production methods tobuild houses quickly.These techniques were carried over to their postwar suburban developments. On May 7, 1947, William Levitt announced his plans to build 2,000houses in a former potato field in the state of New York. Then, by the time thisLevittown was completed in 1951, it had contained17,450 homes for75,000 people in New York. Levitt eventually built two more Levittowns, in the states ofPennsylvania and New Jersey. Each contained the same curving streets, community pools, and neighborhood parks, play grounds as the first development did.Some observers criticized the monotonous uniformity of the Levittowns, charging that they are just the symbol of materialism,but Levittowns were “boom” that started after soldiers returned home from World War II and got married. By 1960, one-third of the nat ion ’s population lived in the suburb The nation underwent its greatest increase in population since 1910.51What does the passage mainly discuss?.A.Levittown was built by William Levitt with the mass-production method.B.Levittown served as an ideal and leading exampleof social changesin theWorld War II.C.Increases in the population of the United States after the war.D.Why there was a housing shortage after World War II.范文范例指导学习55What can be inferred from the passage?52 What wasthe original reason for Levitt to use the methodof massproduction to build .houses?A.

Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Want to Learn Quicker? Use Your BodyA. Ever dealt with a problem? Picked up a new skill? Grasped a difficult concept? The language of learning is full of references to parts of the body outside the brain. Researchers discover that learning is easier, quicker and more long-lasting if lessons involve the body as well as the mind—whether it's gesturing with the arms or moving around a room. Can these insights enhance teaching and learning in the future? And should it inform the way technology is employed in the classroom?B. "In the past, people have argued that as we learn we become more able to think abstractly," says Andrew Manches, a psychologist at the University of Edinburgh in the UK. Conventional thinking might suggest that teachers should help children get rid of physical objects and body gestures to prepare them for the adult world. But in truth, the physical world never really leaves our thinking. For example, when we process verbs such as lick, kick and pick, medical scanners show that the parts of our brain that control the muscles in our face, legs and hands, respectively, light up with activity. And even the most abstract of concepts may have grounding in the real world.C. Body and mind—This theory is called embodied cognition(体验认知), and it suggests that what goes on in our minds stems from our actions and interactions with the world around us. It means that encouraging children to think and learn in a purely abstract way might actually make lessons harder for them to understand and remember. Science is beginning to back up the idea that actions really might speak louder than words in the classroom.D. Spencer Kelly, a psychologist at Colgate University in Hamilton, New York, has found that people spend three times as much time gesturing when they think it is particularly important that they get a message across, suggesting that even at the subconscious level, we appreciate the communicative value of our body language. Studies show that young children learn more if their teacher uses gestures when explaining a concept.E. Meanwhile, Susan Wagner Cook, a psychologist at the University of Iowa in Iowa City, has found that children pick up new concepts more effectively if they are taught to mirror and repeat the gestures their teacher uses, and that lessons involving words and gestures live longer in a student's memory than lessons using words alone.F. There's a place for technology—particularly with the rise of gesture-recognition devices like the Nintendo Wii (任天堂游戏机), Microsoft's Kinect add-on (外设设备) for the Xbox and touchscreen tablet PCs. Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, turned two Wii-mote video game controllers into a device that helps children visualize equivalence ratios (等值比)—for instance, understanding how if one plant grows twice as fast as another, the difference between their respective heights will become larger over time. This can be a tricky concept for children to understand. When asked to use their hands to represent the different growth rates, some students will place one hand slightly higher than the other, but then raise both hands at the same speed. The Berkeley team's device gives the children instant feedback, helping them work out when their hand gestures correctly match what would happen as the two plants grow. Afterwards, almost allstudents say that they actually understand why moving their hands at different speeds is the correct response.G. The Kinect sensor, meanwhile, is being used in studies to help children learn to more accurately map numbers onto physical space—a simple skill but one that is fundamental to our understanding of mathematics. Most people know, for instance, to place the number 50 exactly midway along a line marked "0" at one end and "100" at the other. Researchers at Eberhard Karls University in Tuebingen, Germany, found that seven-year-olds can place numbers along such a line more accurately if they physically walk the line on the floor—with their motion captured and analysed by the Kinect sensor-than if they use a mouse to interact with a computer screen representation of the line. Manches has begun exploring whether Kinect offers a way to re-imagine traditional children's blocks(积木). The technology allows children to pick up and manipulate virtual blocks on the screen using the same gestures they would use to play with real blocks—but the virtual blocks can do new things like change colour as they are pulled apart into smaller units, giving children fresh ideas about the way numbers can be broken down.H. In light of all this, it's tempting to conclude that teachers, and their students, should be jumping up and down, or waving their arms about during lessons. Manches, however, advises caution. The trouble is, science has not quite worked out exactly how the relationship between body and mind effects work. "You can't jump into the prediction and intervention stage too early," says Manches.I. This isn't to say there aren't working theories for what's going on, particularly when it comes to understanding why gesturing helps store information more firmly in the mind, says Cook. The lessons we learn at school usually involve declarative memory(陈述性记忆)—these are the facts that we can consciously recall or "declare" at a later date. But some of our memories arenon-declarative—things we can remember without really being able to explain why.J. The classic example is how we never really forget how to ride a bike. Physical movements seem to be particularly suitable fodder(素材) for making non-declarative memories, and so by both speaking and gesturing, we may encourage our brains to make two independent memories of an event, boosting our chances of remembering the event later.K. Even though researchers like Manches and Cook remain reluctant to set out prescriptive guidelines for teachers, their caution is beginning to weaken. "Five years ago I might have said there's potential for real harm in giving teachers instructions from this research," says Cook. Today, she is less worried of the potential to do damage—in part because none of her studies to-date has uncovered any evidence of side effects.36、Based on the theory of embodied cognition, science is starting to pay more attention to the importance of actions in the classroom.37、Researchers find that the involvement of both the mind and the body can make learning easier and quicker.38、The knowledge we get from school often has to do with declarative memories.39、Contrary to conventional thinking, the physical world is closely linked with our thinking.40、Our brain can make two independent memories of an event through language and action.41、Young students can learn more if their teacher uses gestures when explaining a concept.42、Seven-year-olds can put numbers along a certain line more accurately if they actually walk the line.43、Up to now, Cook's studies have not shown any evidence of side effects.44、Manches warns that we should enter prediction and intervention stage when it is the right time.45、A student can remember for a longer time lessons using words and gestures than lessons involving words alone.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 OneSalt is a principal wicked substance. Salt, sodium chloride(氯化钠), 40 percent of which is sodium(钠), is an element essential to human body. But sodium also boosts blood pressure. It makes the body retain fluids; greater fluid retention increases total blood volume, and this increase raises blood pressure. Where salt is used freely, a large proportion of the population develops chronic high blood pressure, which is a primary factor in heart disease and stroke. Farmers in northern Japan traditionally preserve their food with salt. They consume as much as six teaspoons a day—and 40 percent of them have high blood pressure. Among the Eskimos of Greenland, however, who consume little salt, high blood pressure is almost unheard of.The body of an adult needs only about 200 milligrams of sodium a day—the amount in 500 milligrams, or 1/10 of teaspoon, of salt. But the average American consumes about 12,000 milligrams, or more than two teaspoons, of salt a day—which supplies 24times as much sodium as necessary; Germans consume an average 5,300 milligrams of salt a day. A sharp reduction is recommended by authorities everywhere—to about 8,000milligrams of salt per day for healthy people. For those who already suffer from high blood pressure, the normally suggested maximum is about 2,000 milligrams per day;more drastic restrictions—to about 200 milligrams—are required in special cases.However, if this recommendation is adopted, food will become almost insufferably bland for most Americans and Europeans. So some physicians prescribe as a replacement seasoning potassium chloride (氯化钾), which tastes salty but contains no sodium. Meanwhile, it should also be taken into account that extremely heavy use of potassium unlikely because of its unpleasant taste in large doses—can cause death. Hence, the substitution of one chloride for the other should be undertaken only on the advice of a doctor.46、Which of the following is the main topic of the passage? ______A. The difference between sodium chloride and potassium chloride.B. The function of slat in daily life.C. A comparative study of slat consumption habits in some countries.D. The relationship between salt consumption and high blood pressure.47、According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true about the function and nature of slat? ______A. It is composed of sodium and chloride.B. It helps the body to keep fluid substance.C. Too much salt consumed can lead to high blood pressure.D. It is the direct cause of heart diseases.48、According to the passage, how much sodium do farmers in northern Japan consume each day? ______A. 8000 milligrams.B. 30000 milligrams.C. 12000 milligrams.D. 5000 milligrams.49、What does the underlined word "bland" in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to which of the following words? ______A. saltyB. tastelessC. deliciousD. dull50、What is the major reason why some doctors give patients potassium chloride? ______A. It is used as medicine.B. It contains no sodium.C. It makes food tasty.D. Human body can easily absorb potassium chloride.Passage TwoWhat are feelings for? Most non-scientists will find it a strange question. Feelings .justify themselves. They need serve no other purpose in order to exist. On the other hand, many evolutionary biologists, in contrast to animal behaviorists, acknowledge some emotions areprimarily for their survival function. For both animals and humans, fear motivates the avoidance of danger, love is necessary to care for young, and anger prepares one to hold ground. But the fact that a behavior functions to serve survival need not mean that; that is why it is done. Other scientists have attributed the same behavior to conditioning, to learned responses. Certain reflexes and fixed action patterns can occur without feelings or conscious thought. A gull chick pecks at a red spot above it. The parent has a red spot on its bill (喙); the chick pecks the parent's bill. The gull parent feeds its chick when pecked on the bill. The baby gets fed. The interaction need have no emotional content.At the same time, there is no reason why such actions cannot have emotional content. In mammals—including humans—that have given birth, milk is often released automatically when a new baby cries. This is not under voluntary control; it is reflex. Yet this does not mean that feeding a new baby is exclusively reflex and expresses no feeling like love. Humans have feelings about their behavior even if it is conditioned or reflexive. Yet since reflexes exist, and conditioned behavior is widespread, measurable, and observable, most scientists try to explain animal behavior using only these concepts. It is simpler.Preferring to explain behavior in ways that fit scientific methods most easily, scientists have refused to consider any causes for animal behavior other than reflexive and conditioned ones. Scientific orthodoxy (_正统观念) holds that what cannot be readily measured or tested cannot exist, or is unworthy of serious attention. But emotional explanations for animal behavior need not be impossibly complex or unstable. They are just more difficult for the scientific method to verify in the usual ways, cleverer and more sophisticated approaches are called for. Most branches of science are more willing to make successive approximations (近似值) to what may prove ultimately unknowable, rather than ignoring it altogether.51、What do many evolutionary biologists believe?A. Some emotions do not exist.B. Emotions are helpful for people's survival.C. Emotions give meaning and depth to life.D. Only humans have emotions.52、What can we learn from the example of a gull chick pecking the parent's bill?A. Behaviors can be learned and have no emotional content.B. It is the innate characteristic for adults to look after the young.C. It takes time for animals to be conditioned.D. Emotions are very important to survival.53、Why does the author think most scientists explain animal behavior in terms of reflexes and conditioning?A. They are the most essential factors for animals to surviveB. They are important for animals to develop learned and emotional behaviorsC. They are convenient for scientists to explain animals' behaviorD. They will lead to a better understanding of animal emotions54、What should scientists do to study animal emotions?A. They should set up improved and refined skillful experiments.B. They should analyze human emotions.C. They should distinguish what is emotional and what is conditioned.D. They should learn from animal behaviorists.55、What is the author's main purpose of writing this passage?A. To make the point that emotions are worth our attention.B. To explain what reflexive behavior is.C. To compare human emotions with animal emotions.D. To discuss the importance of emotions.Part Ⅳ TranslationDirections: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Google’s Google problemA) Google is killing Google Reader. Use of Google Reader, a tool, by the way, for reading online content via RSS was concentrated among a small group of relatively intense users. As it happens, that small group includes quite a lot of people who write for or as part of their living. And soGoogle Reader has been mourned over, angrily at times, a bit more than the many other Google services that have come and gone.B) It isn’t that hard to imagine what Google was thinking when it made this decision. It’s a big company, but even big companies have finite resources, and devoting those precious resources to something that isn’t making money and isn’t judged to have much in the way of development potential is not an attractive option. Dropping Reader isn’t going to hurt the company’s business.C) Yet this little contretemps(令人尴尬的事) may suggest bigger trouble ahead for Google and big changes for the internet. One immediate effect is relatively easy to anticipate. John Hempton makes a nice point here: Google is in the process Of abandoning its mission. Google’s stated mission is to organize all the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. Google no longer cares. It seems what they care about is mass-markets.D) Google has asked us to build our lives around it: to use its e-mail system, its search engines, its maps, its calendars, its cloud-based apps and storage services, its video- and photo-hosting services, and on and on and on. Google wants us to use its services in ways that provide it with interesting and valuable information, and eyeballs. If a particular Google experiment isn’t cutting it in that category, then Google may feel justified in axing it.E) But that makes it increasingly difficult for Google to have success with new services. Why commit to using and coming to rely on something new if it might be pulled away at some future date? This is especially problematic for “social”apps that rely on network effects. Even a bad social service may thrive if it obtains a critical mass. Yanking away services beloved by early adopters almost guarantees that critical masses can’t be obtained: not, at any rate, without the provision of an incentive or commitment mechanism to protect the would-be users from the risk of losing a vital service.F) There may be bigger implications still, however. As I said, Google has asked us to build our lives around it, and we have responded. This response entails(势必导致) a powerful self-reinforcement mechanism: both providers and users of information and other services change their behavior as a result of the availability of a Google product. You can see this on a small scale with Reader. People design their websites and content based on the assumption that others, via an RSS reader, will come across and read that content in a certain way. And readers structure their reading habits, and ultimately their mental models of what information is available and where, based on the existence of this tool. If you then pull away the product at the heart of that system, you end up causing significant disruption(混乱), assuming there aren’t good alternatives available.G) The issue becomes a bit more obvious when you think about something like search. Many of us now operate under the assumption that if we want to find something we will be able to do so quickly and easily via Google search. If I want an idea for a unique gift for someone, I can put in related search terms and feel pretty confident that I’ll get back store websites and blogs and Pinterest pages and newspaper stories and pictures all providing possible matches.H) If I’m a researcher, I know I can quickly find relevant academic papers, data, newspaper accounts, expert analysis, and who knows what else related to an enormous range of topics. Once we all become comfortable with that state of affairs we quickly begin optimising(优化) the physical and digital resources around us. And once we all become comfortable with that, we begin rearranging our mental architecture. We stop memorizing key data points and start learning how to ask the right questions. We begin to think differently. We stop keeping a mental model of thephysical geography of the world around us, because why bother? We can call up an incredibly detailed and accurate map of the world, complete with satellite and street-level images, whenever we want. The bottom line is that the more we all participate in this world, the more we come to depend on it.I) What Google has actually done is create a powerful infrastructure (基础设施). The shape of that infrastructure influences everything that goes online. And it influences the allocation of mental resources of everyone who interacts with the online world. But there isn’t much to the real human world that isn’t shaped by the mental activity of the people in it! That’s a lot of power to put in the hands of a company that now seems interested, mostly, in identifying core mass-market services it can use to maximize its return on investment. Now in the short run, that may mostly be a problem for all of us. To the extent that we become worried about this phenomenon, we may go out and find back-up services or other alternatives. This will be less convenient and more costly, in terms of time and money, but those sufficiently foresighted(预见的) might feel it’s a better option than opening up Gmail one day to read that the email service, and the 10-year’s worth of communication it holds, will soon be gone.J) But in the long run that’s a problem for Google. Because we tend not to entrust(委托) this sort of critical public infrastructure to the private sector. Network externalities are all fine and good to ignore so long as they mainly apply to the sharing of news and pictures from a weekend trip with college friends. Once they concern large amount of economic output and the cognitive activity of millions of people, it is difficult to keep the government out. Maybe that obstacle will be sufficient to keep Google providing its most heavily used products. But maybe not.K) I find myself thinking again of the brave new world of the industrial city, when new patterns of interaction led to enormous changes in economic activity, in culture and personal behavior, and in the way we think. We upgraded ourselves, in terms of education and social norms, to maximize the return to urban life. I think we, meaning users of the web and the companies that provide its blood and bones, are only beginning to deal with the implications of a world awash (充斥的) in information.46. Once we become comfortable with optimizing the physical and digital resources around us, we will start rearranging our mental architecture.47. A bad social service may become successful provided it gets a critical mass.48. In the long term, people are not inclined to put critical public infrastructure into the hands of the private sector like Google.49. Google decided to shut down Google Reader because it was not profitable and promising.50. Everything on the internet can be influenced by the powerful infrastructure created by Google.51. The availability of a Google product changes the behavior of the providers and users of information red other services.52. According to John Hempton, now Google seems to concern more about mass-markets than its stated mission.53. Nowadays, many of us assume that if we would like to search for something quickly andeasily, we can Google it.54. The big changes in economic activity, culture, individual behaviors and thinking method were resulted from new patterns of interaction.55. If a service cannot offer interesting and valuable information and eyeballs, Google will think it right to close it down.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 2with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.Sushi(寿司) is no longer the sole preserve of the adventurous diner. These days, grabbing a pack for lunch is almost as common as picking up a cheese and sandwich. The Japanese fish can be bought from every major supermarket (where sales have risen an astonishing 88 percent in the past two years). Indeed, the British sushi industry—of which Tesco has a 60 percent market share —is worth more than £56 million annually.The main reason for its surge in popularity is its reputation as a healthy meal. Japanese women are among the healthiest in the world, while slender celebrities such as Victoria Beckham, Cheryl Cole and Keira Knightley are all fans of the raw fish dish.But do sushi’s nutrition credentials(证书)—especially the Western version—stack up? Not always, according to dietitian(营养学家) Rachel Beller. In her book Eat To Lose, Eat To Win, she says a “light lunch” of sushi may mean you overdose on calories and carbohydrates(碳水化合物). “A typical sushi roll contains 290 to 350 calories and has the carbohydrate equivalent of two-and-a-half to four slices of bread,” says Ms Beller.Bear in mind a sushi lunch contains two or three of these rolls, a total of up to 1 050 calories, and it’s easy to see how we’re conning ourselves that we’re enjoying a low-calorie, healthy lunch.Many of us believe eating sushi is a good way to get the officially recommended two portions of fish each week, but here’s the problem: most sushi contains very little protein, despite its expense.Health experts say a portion of fish should weigh 140g, but on average, the fish in a California roll (round rolled sushi, containing a small piece of fish) or piece of nigiri (rice with fish balanced on the top) weighs just 5g. You’d need to eat 28 pieces of sushi to reach your 140g portion—or more, if you choose a mixed sushi box containing vegetarian varieties.Even “fish” sushi boxes don’t contain much. Marks & Spencer Fish Sushi Selection (191g, £4.68) has just 36g of fish, meaning you would have to eat four boxes and consume 1 184 calories to get one of your recommended fish portions.56. What can we infer from the first paragraph?A) Sushi makes a hit in the UK nowadays.B) Tesco is a giant supermarket selling Sushi only.C) British people prefer sushi to sandwiches and cheese.D) Sushi enjoys popularity only among adventurous diners.57. Why is sushi becoming popular according to the passage?A) Because it is made of raw fish.B) Because it is regarded as a healthy food.C) Because Japanese women eat it.D) Because world-famous stars follow it.58. According to Rachel Beller, a “light lunch” of sushi __________.A) contains enough nutrients for the human bodyB) contains too many rolls in a boxC) is actually deceiving the dieters themselvesD) is providing as equal calories and carbohydrates as bread59. As a matter of fact, taking in the officially recommended portions of fish is equal to __________.A) eating sushi in various types bought mainly from TescoB) eating a “light lunch” of sushi and four slices of breadC) eating a mixed sushi box containing vegetarian varietiesD) eating 56 pieces of California roll or nigiri60. Which of the following is the best title of this passage?A) How sushi can make us fatB) Sushi is popular in BritainC) Sushi is dangerous to humansD) What sushi is—a Japanese dishPassage TwoQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.Brain-training software may be a waste of time. People who played “mind-boosting” games made the same modest cognitive gains as those who spent a similar amount of time surfing the web. “It didn’t really make any difference what people did,” says Adrian Owen of the Medical Research Council Cognition, who tested brain-training software on volunteers recruited through a BBC television program.Owen and his colleagues asked 11 000 volunteers to take tests to measure their reasoning ability and verbal and spatial(空间的) memory. Participants then spent six weeks playing on one of two computer programs, or just surfing the web for pleasure. In one program, which imitates commercial brain-training software, the volunteers solved simple mathematics problems and puzzles that tested their memories. The other was designed specifically to boost cognitive abilities such as reasoning and planning.After six weeks, the participants underwent a second round of cognitive tests. Both groups who played the games made modest improvements, yet so did the web surfers. Skills learned via the programs didn’t transfer to the cognitive tests, even when they relied on similar abilities, says Owen. For instance, people who played a game in which they had to find a match for a briefly overturned card struggled at a similar test that used stars “hidden” in boxes. “Even when the tests were conceptually quite similar we didn’t see any improvement,” says Owen. He concludes that brain-training software only makes people better at the specific tasks they have been practicing.Yet Klingberg, who founded a cognitive-training firm called Cogmed, is indignant at theconclusion that all brain training is bunk. The participants in Owen’s study didn’t practice for long enough and there was no quality control over what practice people did, he says. “Asking subjects to sit at home and do tests online, perhaps with the TV on or other distractions around, is likely to result in noisy data,” he says. “This paper does in no way disprove that the brain is plastic or that cognitive functions can be improved by training.”Owen counters that his team’s research took place in settings similar to the ones people are likely to practice in. “This is what people are doing. They’re sitting at home on their computers doing brain training.”61. The purpose of Owen recruiting volunteers to do the first round of tests is to __________.A) test their reasoning ability and verbal and spatial memoryB) support the BBC television program in his wayC) prove how much information participants can rememberD) detect differences among people in memorizing information62. How many groups were the participants divided into in Owen’s test?A) Two. B) Three. C) Four. D) Five.63. From the second round of cognitive tests, Owen concludes that __________.A) all participants have made much recognizable improvement dramaticallyB) participants have developed reasoning ability to solve complicated problemsC) participants can make greater improvement in solving very similar problemsD) participants do a better job in specific tasks they have practiced for a long time64. What’s the meaning of “indignant” (Line 1, Para. 4)?A) Satiric. B) Agreeable. C) Mad. D) Dishonest.65. Which of the following best describes the passage as a whole?A) There is a debate about whether brain-training software is effective.B) We should concentrate on brain-training software in our daily life.C) Brain-training software is useless to most people.D) It is important to improve reasoning ability and spatial memory.Part IV Translation (30 minutes)Directions:For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center .Question 21 to 35 are based on the following passage .The beat generation mainly referred to the youth who were born and brought up around the Second World War . They showed their disdain ( ) for almost everything traditional , such as government authority , respect for parents , one’s duty , moral standards , and traditional customs . They developed a kind of absolute individualism and liberty. They preferred long hair , minidresses or close-fitting clothes to show off the figure . They advocated freedom of sex and cohabitation ( ) . Their influence could be seen from the fact that about one third of the American couples living together were not married by law . And the divorce rate was very high . The endless U.S wars abroad and sharp class struggle at home caused many American youths to develop a kind of cynicism . They doubted the existing social system , possibility of harmonious human relations , and the long-honored standard for correct behavior . They felt society overlooked their needs . Therefore , they refused to do any duty that was requiredof them by society . They declared “Don’t believe anyone over thirty .” All this came from the sick society . It’s wrong to imagine they all fought against capitalism in support of revolutionary things . Some of their ideas were even more decadent () and impractical . It was an abnormal phenomenon in an abnormal society.21. Based on the passage , how many of one hundred and twenty American couples of the beat generation practiced cohabitation .A)about 20 couples B) about 40 couples C) about 60 couples D) about 30 couples22. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage ?A)The beat generation refused to do any dutyB)The beat generation was in support of almost everything traditional .C)The beat generation believes no one except that he is over thirty .D)The beat generation’s ideas were not impractical .23. “Cynicism” in this passage most pr obably means ______.A)a state of mind against realismB) a state of mind doubting everything in existence.C)a theory advocating mutual helpE)a theory advocating individualism24. The reason why the beat generation refused to cooperate with society was ____.A) they had no interest B) they found hard to cooperation with itB)the laws block their way to do so . D) they thought their need was neglected .25. This passage is mainly about _____.A)the young Americans B) the generation gap .B)the education of the young D) an American social phenomenonQuestion 26 to 30 are based on the following passage .Tress should only be pruned when there is a good and clear reason for doing so and , the number of such reasons is small . Pruning involves the cutting away of overgrown and unwanted branches , and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged by the thought that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from the tree to grow in its own way .First , pruning may be done to make sure that trees have a desired shape or size . The object may be to get a tree of the right height , and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches , which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape . Secondly , pruning may be done to make the tree heavier . You may cut out diseased or dead wood , or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus cause wounds . The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing branches that are blocking up the center and so preventing the free movement of air .One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy entry for disease , but it is a wound that will heal . Often there is a race between the healing and the disease as to whether the tree will live or die , so that there is a period when the tree is at risk . It should be the aim of every gardener to reduce that risk of death as far as possible . It is essential to make the area , which has been pruned smooth , and clean , for healing will be slowed down by roughness . You should allow the cut surface to dry for a few hours and then paint it with one of the substances available from garden shops especially for this purpose . Pruning is usually done in winter , for then you can see the shape of the tree clearly without interference from the leaves and also it is very unlikely that the cuts you make will bleed . If this does happen , it is , of course , impossible to paint them properly .26. Pruning should be done to _____.A)make the tree grow taller . B) does not protect them form the windB)get rid of the small branches D) make the small branches thicker .27. Trees become unhealthy if the gardener_______A)allows too many branches to grow in the middleB)does not protect them from the windC)forces them grow too quicklyD)damages some of the small side branches.28 . Why is a special substance painted on the tree ?A)to make a wound smooth . B)to prevent disease entering a wound .B)to cover a rough surface . D) to help a wound to dry .29. A good gardener prunes tree ____A) at intervals throughout the year B) as quickly as possibleC) occasionally when necessary D) regularly every winter30 . What was the author’s purpose when writing this passage ?A)to give practical instruction for pruning a treeB)to give a gardener description of pruningC)to explain how trees develop diseaseD)to discuss different methods of pruningQuestion 31 to 35 are based on the following passage .On Thursday afternoon Mrs.Carke , dressed for going out , took her handbag with her money and her key in it , pulled the door behind her to lock it and went to the over 60s Club . She always went there on Thursdays . It was a nice outing for an old woman who lived alone .At six o’clock she came home , let hersel f in and at once smelt cigarette smoke in her house ? How ? Had someone got in ? She checked the back door and the windows . All were locked or fastened , as usual . There was no sign of forced entry .Over a cup of tea she wondered whether someone might have a key that fitted her front door-“a master key” perhaps . So she stayed at home the following Thursday .Nothing happened . Was anyone watching her movements ? On the Thursday after that she went out at her usual time , dressed as usual , but she didn’t go to the club .

Mrs.Clarke was making a cup of tea at the time . The bell rang again , and then she heard her letter-box being pushed open .

The wire turned and caught around the knob on the door-lock Mrs.Clark raised the kettle and poured the water over the hand . These was a shout outside , and the skin seemed to drop off the fingers like a glove .

The wire fell to the floor _______.A)because Mrs. Clarke refused to open the door B) when the man’s glove dropped offC) because it was too hot to hold D) because the man just wanted to get awayQuestion 36 to 40 are based on the following passage .Disney World , Florida , is the biggest amusement resort in the world . It covers 24.4 thousand acres , and is twice the size of Manhattan .It was opened on October 1 , 1971 , five years later Walt Disney’s death , and it is a larger , slightly more ambitious version of Disneyland near Los Angeles . Foreigners tend to associate Walt Disney with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs , and with his other famous cartoon characters , Mickey Mouse , Donald Duck and Pluto , or with his nature films , whose superb photography is spoiled , in the opinion of some , by the vulgarity of the commentary and musical background .There is very little that could be called vulgar in Disney World . It attracts people of most taste and most income groups , and people of all ages , from toddlers to grandpas . There are two expensive hotels , a golf course , and forest trails for horseback riding and rivers for canoeing . But the central attraction of the resort is the Magic Kingdom .Between the huge parking lots and the Magic Kingdom lies a broad artificial lake . In the distance rise the towers of Cinderella’s Castle , which like every other building in the Kingdom is built of solid materials . Even getting to the Magic Kingdom’s is quite and adventure . You have a choice of transportation . You can either cross the lake on a replica of a Mississippi paddle-wheeler , or you can glide around the shore in a streamlined monorail train .When you reach the terminal , you walk straight into a little square which faces Main Street is late 19th century . There are modern shops inside the buildings ,but all the decades are of the period . There are hanging baskets full of red and white flowers , and there is no traffic except a horse-draw streetcar and an ancient double-decider bus . Yet as you walk through the magic Kingdom , you are actually walking on top of a network of underground roads . This is how the shops , restaurants and all the other material needs of the Magic Kingdom are invisibly supplied .36. In which year did Walt Disney die ?A)1971 B)1976 C)1966 D)190037.

你的答案未作答参考范文 Renting an Apartment off Campus Nowadays, an increasing number of college students would rather rent an apartment off campus than live in a dormitory. This phenomenon has raised considerable concern among parents and college faculties about living off campus, which is caused by the following reasons. To begin with, living conditions of an apartment off campus may be better than those of a dormitory. A rented apartment is often equipped with an independent washroom and a shower equipment which may be of great advantage over the school dormitory. In general, a typical dormitory often accomodates four or six, or even eight students and it is too crowded and noisy for those who prefer private space as well as quiet circumstances. In addition, instead of being regulated by dormitory rules, students may enjoy more freedom in a rented apartment. If college students intend to rent an apartment, I think they should give top priority to safety. It is important to make a survey of the surroundings first to ensure the security. Besides, when they tend to enjoy the freedom, they should have a better sense of self-control and make good use of their time.
