Each passage is followed by several questions. Respond to the questions using information from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.Section A (10 marks)Questions 56—60 are based on the following passage.The term culture shock was introduced forthe first time in 1958 to describe the anxietyproduced when a person moves to a completelynew environment. This term expresses thefeeling of not knowing what to do or how to dothings in a new environment. This termexpresses the feeling of not knowing what to do or how to do things in a new environment. We can describe culture shock as the physical and emotional discomfort a person suffers when coming to live in a place different from the place of origin.Often, the way that we live before is not accepted or considered as normal in the new place. Everything is different, for example, not speaking the language, not knowing how to use banking machines, not knowing how to use telephones, and so forth.The symptoms of culture shock can appear at different times. Although a person can experience real pain from culture shock, it is also an opportunity for growing and learning new perspectives. Culture shock can help people develop a betterunderstanding of themselves and stimulate personal creativity.Culture shock has many stages. Each stage can be ongoing, or appear only at certain times. In the first stage, the new arrival may feel very happy about all of the new experience. This time is called the honeymoon stage. Afterward, the second stage presents itself. A person may encounter some difficulties in daily life. For example, communication difficulties may occur, such as not being understood. In this stage, there may be feelings of impatience, anger and sadness. Transition between the old methods and those of the new country is a difficult process and takes time to complete. The third stage is characterized by gaining some understanding of the new culture. A new feeling of pleasure and sense of humor may be experienced. A person may start to feel a psychological balance. The individual is more familiar with the environment and wants to belong. This starts an evaluation of the old ways versus those of the new. In the fourth stage, the person realizes that the new culture has good and bad things to offer. This stage can be one of double integration or triple integration, depending on the number of cultures that the person has to process. This integration is characterized by a more solid feeling of belonging. The person starts to define himself or herself and establish goals for living. The fifth stage is the stage that is called the reentry shock. This occurs when a person returns to the newly acquired customs are considered improper in the old culture.Questions 56—60Complete the summary with words from the passage, changing the form where necessary, with only one word for each blank.Introduced in 1958, culture shock is a term used to (56) __________ physical and emotional discomfort people experience when they come to or live in a new place. Although many people suffer a lot from culture shock, it is an (57) _________ for personal improvement. The five stages of culture shock may last for a long time or show up once in a while. In the first stage, the (58) __________ stage, the new arrival might be OK with everything. Afterward, (59) ________ from old methods to the newone calls for time and energy. During the third and fourth stage, people may gain more understanding of the new culture and possess objective views. The double or triple integration is (60) __________ by a feeling of belonging. The last stage, called reentry shock, refers to the feeling people have when returning to their home country.Section B (10 marks)Questions 61-65 are based on the following passage.For some people, it would be unthinkable. But Gabe Henderson is finding freedom in a recent decision; he canceled his MySpace account. The 26 years old graduate student stopped his account after realizing that a lot of his online friends were really just acquaintances. ―The superficial emptiness clouded the excitement I had once felt,‖Henderson wrote in an article. ―It seems we have lost, to some degree, the special depth that true friendship is about.‖Journalism professor Michael Bugeja, who is a strong supporter of face-to-face communication, read Henderson’s column and saw it was a sign of hope. Though he’s not anti-technology, Bugeja often lectures students about ―interpersonal intelligence‖—knowing when, where, and for what purpose technology is most appropriate. He points out the students he’s seen walking across campus, holding hands with each other while talking on cell phones to someone else He’s also seen them in coffee shops, surrounded by people, but staring instead at a computer screen. ―True friends,‖he says, ―need to learn when to stop blogging and go across campus to help a friend.‖These days, young people are more wired than ever—but they’re also getting more worried. Increasingly, they’ve had to deal with online bullies, who are posting anything from embarrassing photos to online threats. And increasingly, young people also are realizing that things they post on their profiles can come back to hurt them when applying for schools or jobs.Social networking can be an ―extremely effective‖way to publicize events to large groups. It can even help build a sense of community on campus. People joinedFacebook as a way to meet others. However, it has limitations. A good Internet profile could make even the most boring person seem some what interesting. People are also not always happy with text messages on the cell phones. Cell phones can be a quick way to say ―have a good day‖. But friends can also cancel a night out with a text message to avoid having to explain. ―Our generation needs to get over this fear of confrontation and rejection.‖Henderson says. ―The focus needs to be on quality communication, in all ways.‖ Back in his life, Henderson is enjoying spending more face-to-face time with his friends and less with his computer. He says his decision to quit his social-networking Internet accounts was a good one. ―I’m not sacrificing friends,‖he says, ―because if a picture, some basic information about their life and a Web page is all my friendship has become, then there was nothing to sacrifice to begin with.‖Questions 61—63Decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F) according to the passage.61. Although Henderson quit MySpace, most of his online friends are actually close friends.62. According to Bugeja, young people should know when to use technology and when to stop using it.63. Social networking helps build a sense of community but has a negative effect on young people’s life if it is used inappropriately.Questions 64—65Answer the following questions briefly according to the passage.64. What does Henderson lose by using social networking websites like Myspace?65. What do young people need to overcome in order to focus on qualitycommunication?Section C (10 marks)Questions 66—70 are based on thefollowing passage.―Five …Four …Three …Two …One …See ya! ‖andChance McGuire, twenty-five, is airborne off a 600 –foot concrete dam in Northern California. In one second he falls 15 feet, in two seconds 60 feet, and after three seconds and 130 feet, he is flying at 66 miles an hour.McGuire is a practitioner of what he calls the king of all extreme sports. BASE—an acronym for building, antenna, span (bridge) and earth (cliffs)—jumping has one of the sporting world’s highest fatality rates: in its 18-year history, forty –six participants have been killed. Y et the sport has never been more popular, with more than a thousand jumpers in the United States, and more seeking to get into it every day. It is an activity without margin for error. If your chute malfunctions, don’t bother researching for a reserve—there isn’t time. There are no second chances.Still, the sport may be a perfect fit with the times. Americans may have more in common with McGuire than they know or care to admit. America has embarked on a national orgy of thrill seeking and risk taking. The rise of adventure and extreme sports such as BASE jumping, snowboarding, ice climbing, skateboarding, and paragliding is merely the most vivid manifestation of this new national behavior.The rising popularity of extreme sports speaks of an eagerness on the part of millions of Americans to participate in activities closer to the edge, where danger, skill, and fear combine to give weekend warriors and professional athletes alike a sense of pushing out personal boundaries. According to American Sports Data Inc., a consulting firm, participation in so-called extreme sports is way up. Snowboarding has grown 113 percent in five years and now boasts nearly 5.5 million participants. Mountain hiking, skateboarding, scuba diving—their growth curves reveal a nation that loves to play with danger. Contrast that with activities such as baseball, touch football, and aerobics, all of which were in steady decline throughout the 1990s.The pursuits that are becoming more popular have one thing in common: the perception that they are somehow more challenging than a game of touch football. ―Every human being with two legs and two arms is going to wonder how fast, how strong, how enduring he or she is,‖ says Eric Perlman, a mountaineer and film maker specializing in extreme sports. ―We are designed to experience or die.‖Questions 66—68Complete the following sentences with information given in the passage in a maximum of 4 words for each blank.66. _______ rates doesn’t stop people from getting into BASE jumping every day.67. The rise of extreme sports manifests the national behavior of _______ and________.68. The combination of fear, skill and danger gives both amateurs and professionals asense of ______.Questions 69—70Choose the best answer according to the passage.69. Which of the following activities reveals a nation that loves to play activities closer to the edge?A. Touch football.B. Baseball.C. Scuba diving.D. Aerobics.70. What does Eric mean by saying ―We are designed to experience or die‖?A. Life with great challenges is a meaningful one.B. Life without great experiences is very common.C. People may die while doing extreme sports.D. Extreme sports are essential parts of human life.Section D (10 marks)Questions 71—75 are based on the following passage.Albert Einstein was one of the greatest thinkers the world has ever known. He formulated theories of relativity, successfully described the nature of the universe and came up with the most famous equation in the world. David Beckham is the footballer whose skills and precision have made him one of the most gifted sportsmen of his generation. Who is more intelligent?How Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences (MI) dares us to put these two men on neighboring pedestals. Instead of regarding intelligence as a single quantity measurable by pen-and-paper tests, Gardner, an education professor at Harvard University, divides human intelligence into no fewer than eight separate categories ranging from mathematical to musical competence. (74)His ideas have provoked vigorous debate about how one defines intelligence. Gardner’s point is that quantity measures only one capacity, the sort of mental agility that is valued in academicachievement, and that this single number does not do justice to human potential. So he has created his own spheres of achievement. Some categories are easily reconcilable with general perceptions about IQ. For example, ―linguistic‖intelligence confers a mastery of language, and is the preserve of such people as poets, writers and linguists. ―Logical mathematical‖intelligence marks out people who take a reasoning approach to physical things, and seek underlying principles. Einstein is the standard –bearer of this group, which also includes philosophers. These two categories are the main components of what we generally think of as ―intelligence‖.―Musical‖intelligence characterizes musicians, composers and conductors. ―Spatial‖ intelligence is about being able to picture perspective, to visualize a world in one’s head with great accuracy. Chess players, artists and architects would rate highly in this category. Dancers, athletes and actors are lumped under the ―bodily-kinesthetic‖ heading; these individual, like Beckham, are able to control their bodies and movements very carefully.Then come two types of ―personal‖intelligence-intrapersonal, the ability to gauge one’s own mood, feelings and mental states, and interpersonal, being able to gauge it in others and use the information. These two categories could be interpreted as emotional intelligence. Psychiatrists are particularly adept at the former, while religious leaders and politicians are seen as people who can exploit the latter.Charles Darwin is perhaps the perfect embodiment of the eighth intelligence –―naturalist‖. This label describes people with a deep understanding of the natural world and its objects. Zoologists and botanists can count themselves among this group.(75)These eight categories certainly reflect the fact that, in these areas, the re is a spectrum of human ability ranging from the hopeless to the brilliant. But are these really intelligences, or could these competences be more accurately described as gifts or talents?Questions 71—73Answer the following questions briefly according to the passage.71. What are the main components of ―intelligence‖ we generally think of?72. What kind of abilities does emotional intelligence involve?73. Which intelligences are represented by Einstein and Beckham respectively?Questions 74—75Translate the underlined sentences in the passage into Chinese.74. His ideas have provoked vigorous debate about how one defines intelligence.75. These eight categories certainly reflect the fact that, in these areas, there is a spectrum of human ability ranging from the hopeless to the brilliant.Part V Translation (10 marks)Translate the following sentences into English, using the hints given in brackets. Remember to write the answer on the answer sheet.76. 既然没有退路了，我们不妨试试他的方法。

Reinforcing the belief that the perceptual differences are cultural, Asians raised in North America viewed the pictures similarly to those of Westerners 54. des .In this issue, there are other studies that have shown differences between Asians and European Americans when reading and writing. The studies, though, do not suggest that a particular race is more advanced 55. (intellect). Rather, they confirm that people from one culture do better on some tasks while people from other cultures do better on different tasks. Therefore, it would be hard to argue that one culture is generally outperforming the other.Part IV Reading Comprehension (35 marks)Section A (5 marks)A lot of people in the world today are used to working, going on holiday, and having money - but many of them aren蒺t happy. Yet other people seem to be really happy, even if they are poor, or have no job, or are surrounded by problems. Why?Professor Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, from the University of Chicago, has interviewed thousands of people who have a happy life to find out how they do it. ‘I蒺ve been studying happiness for over 30 years,’says Csikszentmihalyi. ‘My interest in the subject came from my own experience as a child during World War II, when I saw many adults destroyed by the terrible events. But there were always a few who kept their courage, helped others, and were able to give a sense of purpose and meaning to their lives. I wanted to find out how a person could build a fulfilling and enjoyable life.- 7 -In general, his research showed that people were unhappy doing nothing. The professor stresses that happy people don蒺t waste time, either at work or when they蒺re free. ‘Many people feel that the time they spend at work or at school is wasted. But often their free time is also wasted.’Many people are used to doing passive things - watching television, for example - without using any skills. As a result, life goes past in a series of boring experiences.But it doesn 蒺t have to be this way. Theprofessor has found that people are happy whent he y ge t i n t o so m e t h i n g h e ca lls‘fl ow’.W henpeople get very involved in a task that they havechosen, and which is well -defined andch a ll e n g i ng,t he y e xpe r i ence‘fl ow’,a s t a tewhere they don蒺t notice time passing.They also experience enjoyment. ProfessorCsikszentmihalyi makes a contrast between enjoyment and pleasure. ‘I used to think they were the same thing - but they蒺re not! Pleasureis a bit bowl of ice cream, or taking a hot bath on a cold day - nothing bad at all! But enjoyment is about doing something and achieving something. It isn蒺t really important what we do, it蒺s more important to do something, and feel positive about it, and to try to do it well.’People who are not used to happiness can learn how to be happy, says the professor, if they constantly get into‘flow’states. Is happiness as easy as that? Perhaps it is. Questions 56—60Decide the following statements are true (T) or false (F) according to the passage.56.Professor Csikszentmihalyi has been studying happiness for more than 30 years.57.Professor Csikszentmihalyi thinks that many people use their free time well.58.As Csikszentmihalyi stated, watching TV in your free time is a passive thing.59.We can experience ‘flow’when we do things that are impossible for us and people in‘flow’can easily forget what time it is.60.Enjoyment and pleasure are the same and they are both positive according to ProfessorCsikszentmihalyi.Section B (10 marks)Questions 61—65 are based on the following passage.61. The type and amount of food that we usually eat is known as our diet. Eating a healthy, raried diet will help keep you strong and fit throughout your life. On the other hand, an unhealthy diet can lead to many problems and even shorten your life.62.Your body cannot make most of these nutrients, so you have to get them from the food you eat. The exact amount you need depends on your age, your size, how- 8 -much you are growing, whether you are a boy ora girl, and how active you are.63.But you also needenergy for things that you rarely think about,such as breathing, digestion, keeping your heartbeating, and fueling your brain. The energy infood is measured in units called calories. A sliceand a half of bread contains about 100 calories. Any calories that your body does not use are stored as fat.64.The most important thing is making sure you get a balanced diet.A balanced diet provides you with just the right amount of nutrients and calories. Because just one food cannot give you all the nutrients you need, the best way to make sure you get enough nutrients you need, the best way to make sure you get enough nutrients is to eat a variety of different kinds of food. No foods are “good”or “bad”in themselves. The key is to get a balance.Food are classified into five different groups, based on the nutrients they provide. These are: bread, other cereals, and potatoes; fruits and vegetables; milk and dairy foods; meat, fish and alternatives; fatty and sugary foods.65.By following these guidelines and making sure you have a good breakfast, lunch, and dinner each day, you should get a healthy, balanced diet. You can also eat t w o o r t h r ee sm a ll s nack s a d ay―j u s t b e s u r e t h a t t h e y a r e h ea l t hy one s a nd no t“j un k f ood”. Questions 61—65Complete the article with the following sentences. There are two extra sentences that you do not need to use.activities such as walking, swimming, skating, and dancing.In order to live, you need nutrients ―n ourishing substances that enable the cells of your body to work.If you eat foods from each of the first five four groups (not the fatty and sugary foods) everyday, you should have no problem staying healthy.A diet that gives you the right amount of nutrients and calories is a balanced diet.How should we get all the nutrients we need in a day?- 9 -Section C (10 marks)Questions 66—70 are based on the following passage.Photography is enthralling because it is both anart and a science. It is an art over which thephotographer has creative control but only to acertain extent: unlike a painter, you can onlytake photographs of what is there. If the sun isnot shining, you cannot photograph sunlight. Soyou need to find a subject. But the greatestphotographs are of subjects that most people would have walked past without noticing. The truly great photographers are those who can see,in their mind蒺s eye, the photograph that they can create through their vision, artistry and skill.Vision comes first. If you cannot see the potential, you can never be a true photographer. Artistry, by contrast, can be photographer. Artistry, by contrast, can be learned and developed;you can read a book or you take lessons. You can learn from a great practitioner. Perhaps the simplest aspect to describe is framing. The human eye has a huge field of view, stretching from horizon to horizon. The lens of a camera, by contrast, has a very restricted field of view. This isboth a curse and a blessing. Try as you might, you cannot capture the sheer scale of the human perspective of the world. But you can, and must, select the image that you are attempting to capture -or rather, to create. Look through the viewfinder: learn to see the world through the lens. Understand the difference it makes when you remove the irrelevant and select only what really matters. This is artistry.Then comes skill. This is the technical part. Skill is exercised long before you even start to look for a subject: first you must select the kind and model of camera you will use. Will it have advanced features, inter-changeable lenses, a motor-wind, a build-in flash, automatic focusing?How much do you want to do manually every time you wish to take a photograph, and how much will you leave to the electronics inside? Then you must choose a make and speed of film.The actual taking of the picture requires choices about exposure and shutter speed. After takingthe shot, there are more decisions about developing and printing; every decision makes an enormous difference. Experience teaches you about all of these; there is no other way to learnthan to try, possibly to fail, but to learn from the experience and improve. This is what marksout the photographer from those who merely take snapshots. There is always a better photographthat could have been taken-the ultimate photograph, if you like. All photographers pursue thisgoal of perfection. In the process, though, they take some beautiful photographs that bring themjoy thereafter.- 10 -Questions 66—70Answer the following questions according to the passage.66.What do true photographers differ from others?67.How can a photographer achieve the goal of artistry?68.What is artistry according to the writer?69.How can a photographer be skillful?70.What marks out the photographer from those ordinary ones?Section D (10 marks)Questions 71—75 are based on the following passage.Have you heard about the great flood? Perhaps you have heard about a man named Noah who built a huge boat to escape the flood. In this legend of the great flood, water covered all the land, killing most of the people and animals on Earth. Only Noah蒺s immediate family, including his wife, three sons, and the sons蒺wives, survived the flood along with all of the animals on his boat. After the flood waters receded, the people and animals on Noah 蒺s boat set about repopulating the Earth. This legend of Noah and his family is familiar to many people. But it is not the only legend about a great flood. Actually, many cultures have similar stories about a great flood that wiped out almost everyone on Earth.In the Jewish, Muslim, and Christian legend of the flood, Noah was warned by God that a great flood would kill every human and animal on land. God told Noah to construct the boat that would save his family and two of every animal. In a Hindu legend of the flood, a fish warned a man about the flood, and only the man was saved. Then the gods made a woman for this man, and the man and woman had many children. The Greek, Roman, and Chinese legends of the flood say only people on the highest mountain survived the flood. In Scandinavian and Celtic legends, the water of the flood was actually the blood of a giant. When the giant was killed, its body became the Earth, and its blood covered all of the land. There are also Incan, Mayan, and American Indian legends about a great flood. In each a of these legends, a few people live through the flood by climbing mountains or by constructing boats.Many people today believe the great flood is only a legend. However, other people say that the striking similarities among all of theflood legends suggest a real flood coveredthe Earth at some point long ago. In fact,some scientists speculate that the ancientflood waters are now frozen in glaciers atthe poles of the Earth. But why do thelegends disagree with each other? The floodhappened long before humans could write,- 11 -so the story of the flood could only be passed down through generations by oral retellings. As the story was passed by words of mouth, it may have changed as various cultures learned the story. That may explain why some parts of the legends differ. Through careful examinations of the similar elements in these legends, however, certain facts about an ancient catastrophic flood may be revealed.Questions 71—75Complete the summary with words from the passage, changing the form where necessary, with only one word for each blank.the past. At the time of the flood, only a few people escaped, either by climbing a high mountain or by 72.water but blood from a giant.
