The user can seek an independent review of whether they acted legally.Industry officials said they thought most people would stop copyright violations（侵犯）once they were warned about illegal activity. The warnings also might make parents aware of their children’s activity.“ we are confident that, once informed that content theft is taking place on their accounts , the great majority of users will take steps to stop it,” said James Assey, executive vice president of the National Cable and Telecommunications Association.Two consumer groups said the effort had the “ potential to be an important educational vehicle” to help reduce online copyright violation, but voiced concern about the punishments.The groups said it would be “ wrong to cut off users, even temporarily, based on complaints that have not been tested in court.”The Obama administration welcomed the industry effort.“We believe it will have a significant effect on reducing online pirace,” Victoria Espinel, the USintellectual property protection coordinator, wrote on the White House blog.38.The word “industry”(line2,paragraph 1 )is closest in meaning to.A)users of illegal downloaded contentB)government agenciesC)producers of movies, music and TV showsD)two consumer groups39.

There are not enough workers to help them with the harvest.One farmer used to grow peaches, but will soon switch to growing almonds. Peaches require more labor to harvest. They are fragile, and must be picked by hand. Machines would damage the ripe peaches. Then the farmer could not sell them. He is using a bulldozer to remove his peach tress. Then he will plant almond trees in their place.Almonds are harvested differently. It does not take as many workers to pick them because a machine shakes the almond trees. The almonds fall on the ground and then are gathered up. The farmer does not have to hire many workers to pick the almonds off the trees.Some farmers think there are two reasons why there is a shortage of farm workers. One reason is that there are a lot of construction jobs in the area. These jobs pay higher wages. Many workers are taking construction jobs instead of picking fruit. Another reason is that it has become more difficult to cross the border from Mexico into California. Many farm workers come from Mexico. Fewer are able to cross the border in order to work on the fruit farms.One solution might be to allow Mexican workers to work here as guests, which would help them to provide for their family and help farmers harvest their crops.Farmers say that unless things change, more produce will come from other countries. This is because labor is cheaper in other nations than it is in the United States.43. According to the passage, peaches are veryA) fragile B) easy to pickC) sour D) tasty with almonds44. The farmer who used to grow peaches will switch to growing almonds becauseA) peaches require more space to grow B) peaches are more difficult to growC) peaches do not sell as well as almonds D) peaches require more labor to harvest45. To reduce labor, the wok to harvest almonds can be done byA) a bulldozer B) a fruit farmerC) a Mexican worker D) a machine46. Many workers choose to take construction jobs instead of harvesting crops becauseA) construction jobs pay higher wages to themB) more jobs bring more money to their familiesC) it is difficult for them to cross the borderD) they feel tired of working on fruit farms47. Compared to the labor from other countries, labor in the U.S. isA) better trained B) cheaperC) less trained D) more expensivePassage FourQuestions 48 to 52 are based on the following passage.I had a question from Jessica about the term “personal branding” and wh ether it was more than an American buzzword （时髦术语）. For an answer, I asked Bill Lang, Melbourne-based career development consultant. Bill said that while personal branding originated in the US, it was an effective career tool anyone could use. His explanation of personal branding is as follows.If you are someone who constantly complains and always has problems with other staff, then that becomes your personal branding. Being someone who is great to work with and who comes up with solutions instead of problems is obviously a much better personal brand.Personal branding is about developing an image of yourself that you want to project in everything you do. It’s not about being fake(作假的) or superficial, but must be about your true values. Landing(获得) a job, a promotion, a new project or a pay rise depends on good word of mouth about you so it might be time to work on your personal branding. Your personal brand is your reputation, character and personality and how your strategically manage that combination to help your succeed.To assess and develop your personal brand takes a bit of thought and a commitment(投入) to change if needed. First you need to understand how you current brand is positioned amongst your colleagues. To move from your current positioning, you need to identify the attitudes you need to change and then the behavior needed to make that change.Once you have identified what needs to change, develop a simple action plan and keep it in mind when carrying out tasks and dealing with colleagues. Your repositioning then starts to take off.48. The positions given in this passage about personal branding come from_______.A) Jessica B) the author C) Bill Lang D) an unknown person49. The definition of personal branding in this passage is ______.A) being great to work with and coming up with solutions instead of problems.B) developing an image of yourself that you want to project in things you do.C) constantly complaining and always having problems with other staff.D) being fake or superficial and appearing different from what you really are.50. What does the phrase “good word of mouth” (Line 1, paragraph 4) mean?A) Information passed from one person to another.B) Respect that people show to a good person.C) Something good that people say about someone.D) Ability to communicate with people around.51. To develop your personal brand among your colleagues, you need to change your______.A) reputation, character and personality B) attitudes and behaviorC) action plan D) thought and commitment52. From what is discussed in the passage, we can conclude that .A)few people can achieve personal brandingB)personal brand can be judged and changedC)a simple action plan is enough for personal brandingD)landing a job has nothing to do with personal brandPart Ⅳ Translation from English into Chinese(10%) (15 minutes)Directions:In this part , there are five items , and four of them are taken from the reading passages you have just read.

According to a recent study; the more you strugglewhile you are teaming new information, the better you can remember it later.It was Kapur who came up with the idea that struggling can lead to better learning. Then he tested it out on students in Singapore. He separated students into two groups, with students in the first group asked to solve math problems with the teacher's help and those in the second group to solve the same problems by helping one another, instead of getting help from the teacher.With the teacher's help, students in the first group were able to find the correct answers.Students in the second group did not solve the problems correctly, but they did come;up with a lot of good ideas.The students were then tested on what they had learned. The group without any help from a teacher scored much higher than the group who had help. Kapur said working to find the answers helped students understand theprocess; not just the solution.Kapur's advice for students is to put a lot of effort into teaming something new rather thangoing to your teacher for help. "Simply doing a little work or nothing at all won't work," says Kapur."The struggle needs to be a genuine attempt to figure out a problem in as many ways as possible:'33.

This passage might most probably come fromA) a work of science fiction B) a government fileC) a novel D) a reportPassage twoQuestions 38 to 42 are based on the following passage.Would the world be more peaceful if women were in charge? A challenging new book by theHarvard University psychologist Steven Pinker says that the answer is `yes."In The Better Angels of Our Nature Pinker presents data showing that human violence, while still very much with us today, has been gradually dropping. Moreover, he says, 0over the long history, women have been and will be a pacifying(实现和平的)force. Traditional war is a man's game: tribal(部落的)women never get together to attack neighboring villages." As mothers, women tend to maintain peaceful conditions in which to raise their children.Those with different opinions immediately reply that women have not made war simplybecause they have rarely been in power. If they had the power as leaders, the tough conditions of the world would force them to make the same decisions that men do. Margaret Thatcher, Golda Meir, and Indira Gandhi were powerful women; all of them led their countries to war.But it is also true that these women rose to leadership by playing according to the politicalrules of "a man's world." It was their success in conforming to male values that enabled their rise to leadership in the first place. If women held half of leadership positions, they might behave differently in power.So we are left with the broader question: does gender really matter in leadership? Variouspsychological studies show that men incline towards the hard power of command, while women are collaborative(协作的)and instinctively understand the soft power of attraction and persuasion.38. Pinker's book The Better Angels of Our Nature mainly discussesA) women's psychological state B) women's function in societyC) women's desire for power D) women's tendency for peace39. Margaret Thatcher, Golda Meir, and Indira Gandhi are mentioned as examples to show thatA) women function as a pacifying force B) women in power tend to win warsC) Pinker reaches a right conclusion D) Pinker's opinion is not correct40. What is the attitude of the author of this passage according to Paragraph 4?A) He agrees that women should conform to male values.B) He is inclined to think that women are a pacifying force.C) He thinks that women would not make political rules.D) He believes that women would make no difference.41.The word "gender" (line 1, last paragraph) is closest in meaning toA) peace B) sex C) power D) violence42. According to psychological studies, the main difference between men and women in power lies in .A) their motive for power of commandC) their attitude towards human violenceB) their tendency to apply power they haveD) their preferred conditions to raise childrenPassage ThreeQuestions 43 to 47 are based on the following passage.A boat rocks gently in the warm, clear water off the coast of Lizard Island. At night, researchers on board the boat lower into the ocean three large iron traps with raw chicken inside. Video cameras are attached to the traps. The researchers watch and take note of how many nautiluses(鹅鹉螺)，attracted to the meat, swim past the traps overnight: In the~ morning, the team palls the traps back onto the boat. They measure, tag and photograph captured nautiluses before releasing them.Scientist Peter Ward, of the University of Washington, is leading the study. "We need to know how many nautiluses there are," he said.Why does the number or creatures matter:Information collected around the world by Ward and Other scientists will help to show if the nautilus is threatened and if the animal should be listed as an endangered species.Nautiluses have survived for million years. But some scientists fear that the animals may be in danger of disappearing. Humans have been killing the animal for its unique shell.The inside of the shell is pearl-colored(珍珠色的)and forms a perfect shape. It i' uses场makedecorations and jewelry.A report showed that the annual number of nautilus-shell products was alarmingly high.SoWard came up with a plan to study and count nautiluses. Four more seagoing research trips areexpected fo take place in the months ahead.There is much to learn. "We're really at the tip of the iceberg(冰山)," De Angelis, of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, says.43.

And now that you know the worst thing that happen, and how you’re going to resolve it, there’s no reason to live with fear any longer. Make li ving in the present a way of life and you’re already eliminated a high percentage of worry that leads to experiencing fear.Every day, ordinary people are realizing their dream because they take actions in the face of their fears.

Which of the following could serve as the best title of the passage?A) Set Up Goals and Get Successful. B) Never Be Afraid to Experience Failures.C) Don’t Let Your Fear Stand in Your Way. D) Failures Are a Guidepost to Success.Passage TwoQueastions 38 to 42 are based on the following passageConsumers who illegally download copyrighted films, music or television shows might see their internet speed slowed or access restricted under an industry anti-piracy(反盗版)effort announced on Thursday.US internet service providers agreed to warn customers by e-mails or pop-up messages , up to six times, when it appears their account is used for illegal downloading.If suspected illegal activity continues, the provider might temporarily slow Internet speed or redirect the browser to a specific Web page until the customer contacts the company. The user can seek an independent review of whether they acted legally.Industry officials said they thought most people would stop copyright violations（侵犯）once they were warned about illegal activity. The warnings also might make parents aware of their children’s activity.“ we are confident that, once informed that content theft is taking place on their accounts , the great majority of users will take steps to stop it,” said James Assey, executive vice president of the National Cable and Telecommunications Association.Two consumer groups said the effort had the “ potential to be an important educational vehicle” to help reduce online copyright violation, but voiced concern about the punishments.The groups said it would be “ wrong to cut off users, even temporarily, based on complaints that have not been tested in court.”The Obama administration welcomed the industry effort.“We believe it will have a significant effect on reducing online pirace,” Victoria Espinel, the USintellectual property protection coordinator, wrote on the White House blog.38.The word “industry”(line2,paragraph 1 )is closest in meaning to.A)users of illegal downloaded contentB)government agenciesC)producers of movies, music and TV showsD)two consumer groups39.

There are not enough workers to help them with the harvest.One farmer used to grow peaches, but will soon switch to growing almonds. Peaches require more labor to harvest. They are fragile, and must be picked by hand. Machines would damage the ripe peaches. Then the farmer could not sell them. He is using a bulldozer to remove his peach tress. Then he will plant almond trees in their place.Almonds are harvested differently. It does not take as many workers to pick them because a machine shakes the almond trees. The almonds fall on the ground and then are gathered up. The farmer does not have to hire many workers to pick the almonds off the trees.Some farmers think there are two reasons why there is a shortage of farm workers. One reason is that there are a lot of construction jobs in the area. These jobs pay higher wages. Many workers are taking construction jobs instead of picking fruit. Another reason is that it has become more difficult to cross the border from Mexico into California. Many farm workers come from Mexico. Fewer are able to cross the border in order to work on the fruit farms.One solution might be to allow Mexican workers to work here as guests, which would help them to provide for their family and help farmers harvest their crops.Farmers say that unless things change, more produce will come from other countries. This is because labor is cheaper in other nations than it is in the United States.43. According to the passage, peaches are veryA) fragile B) easy to pickC) sour D) tasty with almonds44. The farmer who used to grow peaches will switch to growing almonds becauseA) peaches require more space to grow B) peaches are more difficult to growC) peaches do not sell as well as almonds D) peaches require more labor to harvest45. To reduce labor, the wok to harvest almonds can be done byA) a bulldozer B) a fruit farmerC) a Mexican worker D) a machine46. Many workers choose to take construction jobs instead of harvesting crops becauseA) construction jobs pay higher wages to themB) more jobs bring more money to their familiesC) it is difficult for them to cross the borderD) they feel tired of working on fruit farms47. Compared to the labor from other countries, labor in the U.S. isA) better trained B) cheaperC) less trained D) more expensivePassage FourQuestions 48 to 52 are based on the following passage.I had a question from Jessica about the term “personal branding” and wh ether it was more than an American buzzword （时髦术语）. For an answer, I asked Bill Lang, Melbourne-based career development consultant. Bill said that while personal branding originated in the US, it was an effective career tool anyone could use. His explanation of personal branding is as follows.If you are someone who constantly complains and always has problems with other staff, then that becomes your personal branding. Being someone who is great to work with and who comes up with solutions instead of problems is obviously a much better personal brand.Personal branding is about developing an image of yourself that you want to project in everything you do. It’s not about being fake(作假的) or superficial, but must be about your true values. Landing(获得) a job, a promotion, a new project or a pay rise depends on good word of mouth about you so it might be time to work on your personal branding. Your personal brand is your reputation, character and personality and how your strategically manage that combination to help your succeed.To assess and develop your personal brand takes a bit of thought and a commitment(投入) to change if needed. First you need to understand how you current brand is positioned amongst your colleagues. To move from your current positioning, you need to identify the attitudes you need to change and then the behavior needed to make that change.Once you have identified what needs to change, develop a simple action plan and keep it in mind when carrying out tasks and dealing with colleagues. Your repositioning then starts to take off.48. The positions given in this passage about personal branding come from_______.A) Jessica B) the author C) Bill Lang D) an unknown person49. The definition of personal branding in this passage is ______.A) being great to work with and coming up with solutions instead of problems.B) developing an image of yourself that you want to project in things you do.C) constantly complaining and always having problems with other staff.D) being fake or superficial and appearing different from what you really are.50. What does the phrase “good word of mouth” (Line 1, paragraph 4) mean?A) Information passed from one person to another.B) Respect that people show to a good person.C) Something good that people say about someone.D) Ability to communicate with people around.51. To develop your personal brand among your colleagues, you need to change your______.A) reputation, character and personality B) attitudes and behaviorC) action plan D) thought and commitment52. From what is discussed in the passage, we can conclude that .A)few people can achieve personal brandingB)personal brand can be judged and changedC)a simple action plan is enough for personal brandingD)landing a job has nothing to do with personal brandPart Ⅳ Translation from English into Chinese(10%) (15 minutes)Directions:In this part , there are five items , and four of them are taken from the reading passages you have just read. Below each, there are five Chinese sentences translated, which are marked A),B),C),D)and E). Each letter stands for a score varying from 0to 2 . You should decide which is the best translation, and then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.T1.(lines 1-2, Paragraph1, Passage One)There is no greater loss to the world than missing out on your unique contribution because you are afraid to fail.A)世界遭受的最大损失莫过于你因为怕失败就放弃你本可作出的独特贡献。

The user can seek an independent review of whether they acted legally.“We are confident that,once informed that content theft is taking place on their accounts, the great majority of users will take steps to stop it,”said James Assey, executive vice president of the National Cable&Telecommunications Association.Two consumer groups said the effort had the “potential to be an important educational vehicle”to help reduce online copyright violation,but voiced concern about the punishments.The groups said it would be “wrong to cut off users,even temporarily,based on complaints that have not been tested in court.”The Obama administration welcomed the industry effort.“We believe it will have a significant effect on reducing online piracy,”Victoria Espinel, the US intellectual property protection coordinator, wrote on the White House blog.33.The word “industry”(line 2,paragraph 1)is closest in meaning to .A) users of illegal downloaded content B)two consumer groupsC)government agencies D)producers of movies,music and TV shows34.The first time a user is suspected of illegal downloading,he will .A)get six e-mails or messages B)be warned by the providerC)have to contact he company D)have his connection cut off35.It was believed that in most cases, copyright violation occurred .A)when users could not stop it B) be warned by the providerC) while children were online D) as no one had made complaints36.The consumer groups seemed to hold that since the user’s rights were involved, action shouldbe taken .A)when decided by the law B) on the basis of complaintsC)as a potential punishment D)after education had failed37.The measure to fight copyright violation by limiting or warning about illegaldownloadingA) was strongly supported by all involved B)would bring protests form customersC)might not receive enough support D)appeared to be generally acceptablePassage twoQuestions 38 to 42 are based on the following passage.There is no greater loss to the world than missing out on your unique contribution because you are afraid to fail.We all have special gifts and talents. There’s only one thing separating most people from the super successful;it’s looking at your fears and making the decision that your goals are bigger than your fear.Are fear-based beliefs running your life?Do this exercise. Make 3 columns on a piece of paper.List all your fears in the first column and in the next column write down what’s the worst thing that can happen if they come true and in a third column write down what your solution would be.The reality is 95% of your fears will never be experienced. And now that you know the worst thing that can happen, and how you’re going to resolve it, there’s no reason to live with fear any longer.Make living in the present a way of life and you’ve already eliminated a high percentage of worry that leads to experiencing fear.Everyone fails at something in his or her lives, even the most successful people.
