Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes)Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1.

Leading stress management experts say that without stress would be dull and unexciting. Stress adds flavor, challenge, and opportunity to life. However, too much stress can seriously affect your physical and mental well-being. A major challenge in today’s stress-filled world is to make the stress in your life work for you instead of against you.In today’s hectic, fast-paced world and with the blooming economy, stress is our constant companion. It comes from mental or emotional activity and physical activity. Too much emotional stress can result in physical illness, such as high blood pressure, ulcers, asthma, irritable colon, headaches, or even heart disease. On the other hand,physical stress from work or exercise rarely causes such ailments. In fact, physical exercise can help you to relax and to handle your mental or emotional stress.Hans Selye, M.D., a recognized expert in the field, has defined stress as a “nonspecific response of the body to a demand”. The key to reducing stress is learning how our bodies respond to those demands. When stress becomes prolonged or particularly frustrating, it can become harmful-causing distress or “bad stress”. Recognizing the early signs of distress and then doing something about them can make a significant difference in the quality of your life.In order to use stress in a positive way and prevent it from becoming distress, you should be aware of your own reactions to stressful events. The body responds to stress by going through specific stages: (1) alarm, (2) resistance, (3) exhaustion. Muscles tense, blood pressure and heart rate rise, and adrenaline and other stress-triggered hormones that increase the level of alertness are released. If the stress-causing conditions continue, your body will need time to make repairs, if that happens, you eventually may develop a physical problem that is related to stress, such as migraine headaches, high blood pressure, backache, or insomnia. That’s why when stress occurs it’s important that you recognize and deal with it in a positive way. While it’s impossible to live completely free of stress and distress, it is possible to prevent some distress as well as to minimize is impact when it can’t be avoided. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to handle stress.Try Physical ActivityWhen you’re nervous, angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity. Running, walking, playing tennis, or working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try. Physical exercise will relieve your anxiety and worry and help you relax. Your body and your mind will work together to ease the stress in your life.Share Your StressIt helps to talk with someone about your anxieties and worries. Perhaps a friend, family member, teacher, or counselor can help you achieve a more positiveperspective on what’s troubling you. It you feel your problem is serious, you might seek professional help from a psychologist, psychiatrist or social worker. Knowing when to ask for help is a positive step in avoiding more serious problems later.Take Care of YourselfYou should make every effort to eat well and to get enough rest. If you’re irritable and tense from lack of sleep, or if you’re not eating properly, you’ll be more vulnerable to stressful situations. If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should consult your doctor.Make Time for YourselfSchedule time for both work and reaction. Don’t forget, play can be just as important to your overall well-being as work. You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun. Go window-shopping or work on a hobby. Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy.Make a List of the Things You Need to DoStress can result from disorganization and a feeling that “there’s so much to do, and not enough time”. Trying to take care of everything at once can be overwhelming, and as a result, you may not accomplish anything. Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, then do one thing at a time, checking off each task as it is completed. Give priority to the most important tasks and do those first.Go Ahead and CryA good cry can be a healthy way to bring relief to your anxiety. It might even help you avoid headache or other physical consequence of anxiety and stress.Create a Quiet SceneYou can’t always run away, but you can allow yourself a mental “get-away”. A quiet country scene painted mentally, or on canvas, can transport you from the tension of a stressful situation to a more relaxing frame of mind. You also can create a sense of peace and tranquility by reading a good book or listening to beautiful music.Avoid Self-MedicationWhile you can use prescription or over-the-counter medications to relieve stress temporarily, they do not remove the conditions that caused the stress in the first place.In fact, many medications may be habit-forming and also may reduce your efficiency, thus creating more stress than they eliminate. They should be taken only on the advice of your doctor.RelaxThe best strategy for reducing or avoiding stress altogether is to learn how to relax. Unfortunately, many people try to relax at the same pace that they lead the rest of their lives. That doesn't work. Instead, try tuning out your worries about time, productivity and "doing right". Here are several relaxation techniques you may find helpful:--You should take a deep breath and exhale to help calm your mind, counter your body's natural stress reaction and improve your response.--You should laugh. Many stress management experts advocate laughter as a relaxation technique for relieving tension.--You should take a warm bath or shower. Whether you prefer bubble baths or long hot showers, this is an excellent way to relax after a stressful day.--You should try progressive muscle relaxation. Individual contract and relax each muscle group of your body. Begin by tensing your toes for 10 seconds, then relax them for 20.Work all the way up your body, alternately tensing and relaxing, and finish with your facial muscles.By learning the "art" of relaxation, you’ll find satisfaction in just "being", without trying or striving. Your focus on relaxation, enjoyment and health will reduce stress, anxiety and worry in your life. The result is, you will be calmer, healthier and happier.注意：此部分试题在答题卡1上作答。

But the biggest factor is the 31 of industrial farming . Heavy tilling, multiple harvests ans 32 use of agrochemicals have increased yields at the 33 of long-term sustainability. If the past 20 years, agricultural production has increased threefold and the amount of irrigated land has doubled, notes a paper in the outlook by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European commission. Over time, however, this 34 fertility and can lead to abandonment of land and35 desertification.Section BDirections: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Take Naps at Work. Apologize to No One[A] In the past two weeks I’ve taken three n aps at work, a total of an hour or so of shut-eye while on the clock. And I have no shame or uncertainty about doing it. I couldn’t feel better about it, and my productivity reflects it , too.[B] Sleeping on the job is one of those workplace taboos-like leaving your desk for lunch or taking an afternoon walk-that we’re taught to look down on. If someone naps at 2 p. m. while the rest of us furiously write memos and respond to emails, surely it must mean they’re slacking off (偷懒). Or so the assumption goes.[C] Restfulness and recharging can take a back seat to the perception and appearance of productivity. It’s easier to stay on a virtual hamster (仓鼠) wheel of activity by immediately responding to every email than it is to measure aggregate productivity over a greater period of time. But a growing field of occupational and psychological research is building the case for restfulness in pursuit of greater productivity.[D] Companies are suffering from tremendous productivity problems because people are stressed out and not recovering from the workday, said Josh Bersin, Principal and Founder of Bersin by Deloitte. “They’re beginning to realize that this is their problem ,and they can’t just say to people, ‘Here’s a work -life balance course, go teach yourself how to manage your inbox,’ ”Mr. Bersin said. “It’s way more complicated than that.”[E] To be sure, the ability to nap at work is far from widespread, experts said. Few among us have the luxury of being able to step away for a half-hour snoozefest. But lunch hours and coffee breaks can be great times to duck out, and your increased productivity and alertness will be all the evidence you need to make your case to inquiring bosses.[F] In an ideal world, we’d all solve this problem by unplugging early and getting a good night’s sleep. Here’s our guide on how to do just that .But the next best thing is stealing away for a quick power nap when you’re dragging after lunch.[G] In a study published in Nature Neuroscience, researchers tested subjects on their perceptual performance four times throughout the day. Performance deteriorated with each test, but subjects who took a 30-minute nap between tests stopped the deterioration in performance, and those who took a 60-minute nap even reversed it.[H] “Naps had the same magnitude of benefits as full nights of sleep if they had a quality of nap.” said Sara Mednick, a co-author of the study and associate professor of psychology at the University of C alifornia, Riverside.[I] Dr. Mednick, a sleep researcher and the author of Take a Nap! Change Your Life , said daytime napping can have many of the benefits of overnight sleep, and different types of naps offer specific benefits.[J] For example, Dr. Mednick said a 20-to 60-minute nap might help with memorization and learning specific bits of information. It’s just long enough to enter stage-two sleep, or non-rapid eye movement (R.E.M.) sleep.[K] After 60 minutes, you start getting into R.E.M. sleep, most often associated with that deep, dreaming state we all enjoy at night R.E.M. sleep can improve creativity, perceptual processing and highly associative I) limited J) minimize K) occasionally L) optimizes M) rate N) remedial O) ultimately A) absorbB) abundantC) billedD) declineE) diminishesF) expansionG) expenseH) intensifyingthinking , which allows you to make connections between disparate ideas, Dr. Mednick said. Beyond that , your best bet is a 90-minute nap, which will give you a full sleep cycle.[L]Any nap, however, can help with alertness and perception and cut through the general fog that creeps in during the day, experts said.[M]So how did we even arrive at this point where aptitude is inextricably tied (紧密相连) to working long, concentrated hours? Blame technology, but think broader than smartphones and laptops; the real issue is that tech has enabled us to be available at all times.[N]“We went through a period where people were in denial and business leaders were ignoring it, ”Mr. Bersin said. “They were assuming that if we give people more tools, more emails, more Slack , more chatter, and we’ll just assume they can figure out how to deal with it all. And I think they’ve woken up to the fact that this is a big problem , and it is a ffecting productivity, engagement, health, safety, wellness and all sorts of things.”[O]It isn’t just office workers who can benefit from an afternoon siesta (午睡). A 2015 study published in Current Biology looked at the at the sleeping habits of three hunter-gatherer preindustrial societies in Tanzania, Namibia and Bolivia.[P]“They’re active in the morning, then they get in the shade under the trees and have a sort of quiet time, but they’re not generally napping,” said Jerome Siegel, professor of psychiatry and biobehavioral sciences, and director of the U.C.L.A. Center for Sleep Research, a co-author of the study. “ Then they do some work and go to sleep, and they sleep through the night.”[Q]Still, Mr. Siegel said, “the only genuine way to solve daytime sleepiness and fatigue starts the night before with a solid night’s sleep.” The real Holy Grail of restfulness is a regular sleep schedule with ideally seven or eight hours of sleep each night, which experts say is optimal.[R]“Daytime napping certainly does increase alertness,” Mr. Siegel said. “But it’s not as simple as going to the gas station and filling the tank.”[S]He also advises avoiding caffeine late in the day and waking around the same time every morning, even if you can’t get to sleep at the same time every night, This helps acclimate ( 使适应) your body to your regular wake-up time, regardless of how much sleep you got the night before.[T]So if you’ve made it this far and you’re interested in giving workday naps a try (or just starting to nod off ) , here’s a quick guide to the perfect nap;Find a quiet, unoccupied space where you won’t be disturbed.Try to make your area as dim as possible ( or invest in a sleep mask you can keep in the office ). Earplugs might help. too.Aim for around 20 minutes. Any longer than that and you’re likely to wake up with sleep inertia ( 睡眠惰性) ，which will leave you even groggier (头脑昏沉的) than before.36.Participants’ perceptual performance became better after sleeping one hour between tests in an article inNature Neuroscience.37.Jerome Siegel found that only by sleeping soundly through the previous night could people tackle theirweariness during the day.38.Our talent is closely bound to working with concentration for long periods of time because technologymakes us accessible 24/7.39.Taking a nap at work is normally regarded as laziness that should be held in contempt and avoided inworkplace.40.Between 20 to 60 minutes, people can get into non-REM sleep which may improve memory and learningability according to Dr. Mednick.41.People can doze off at lunch and coffee breaks and defended themselves by saying their improvedproductivity and alertness when bosses investigated their whereabouts.42.The author’s tips on taking a perfect nap involve sleeping place, environment and duration.43.The author believes business leaders are aware that availability at any time due to technology has negativeeffects on every aspect of people’s life.44.The optimal length of a nap was an hour and a half so that people could go through a complete sleep cycle.45.Josh Bersin mentioned the cause of companies’ big productivity problems and the solution which needsmore that just employees’ efforts.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Every office worker hates meetings. But it’s a strange sort of hate, similar to the hatred of Londoners for the Northern Line, or New Yorkers for tourists who walk too slowly: the dislike is real, yet if the despised thing were to vanish, it’d be like surrendering a piece of your soul.When researchers probed into why people put up with the strain that meetings place on their time and sanity, they found something-those who resent and dread meetings the moat also defend them as a “necessary evil”, sometimes with great passion. True, research suggests t hat meetings take up vastly more of the average manager’s time than they used to. True, done badly, they’re associated with lower levels of innovation and employee wellbeing (幸福) .But that’s just office life , right? It’s not supposed to be fun. That’s why they call it work.Underlying(引起) this attitude is an assumption that’s drummed into us not just as workers but as children, parents and romantic partners; that more communication is always a good thing. So suggestions abound for (大量存在) communicating better in meetings-for example, hold them standing up, so speakers will come to the point more quickly. But even when some companies consider abolishing meetings entirely, the principle that more communication is better isn’t questioned. If anything, it’s reinforced when such firms introduce “flat” management structures, with bosses always available to everyone, plus plenty of electronic distraction. In fact, constant connectivity is disastrous for both job satisfaction and the bottom line.And anyway, once y ou give it three seconds’ thought , isn’t it cleat that more communication frequently isn’t a good thing? Often, the difference between a successful marriage and a second-rate one consists of leaving about three or four things a day unsaid. At work, it’s surely many more than four, though for a different reason; office communication comes at the cost of precisely the kind of focus that’s essential to good work. Yet we’re so accustomed to seeing talking as a source of solutions-for resolving conflicts or finding new ideas-that it’s hard to see when it is the problem.46.What does the author say about meetings?A)Londoners hate them as well as the Northern Line.B)They can help to keep workers’ physical and spiritual health.C)W orkers might be reluctant to give up them completely.D)New Yorkers dislike meetings more than Londoners.47.What did researchers find about people’s attitude towards meeting?A. Their attitude and behavior are paradoxical.B)People who hate meetings the most are senior insane.C)Those who like meetings might be considered insane.D)More meetings are regarded as a sign of less innovation.48.Why do people think that more communication is always a good thing?A)Because the concept is firmly believed by workers.B)Because everyone loves to communicate with others.C)Because the idea has been instilled into people’s mind.D)Because communication is vital for building relationships.49.What does the author think of the “flat” management structure?A)It forces bosses to frequently contact their employees.B)It helps to soften employees’ bottom line of work.C)It is definitely a disaster to employees’ job satisfaction.D)It strengthens people’s deeply-rooted notion of communication.50.What is the author’s argument about office communication?A)It is an effective way to solve office conflicts.B)It affects work efficiency in a negative way.C)It should come to a halt at intervals.D)It is useful for workers to find new ideas.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.The Internet has enabled the spread of information at lightning speed. This information revolution has created tremendous business opportunities for online publishers, but not all of them maintain proper quality-control mechanisms to ensure that only good information is being shared. Instead, many publishers aim simply to make money by whatever means possible, with no regard for the implications for society at large.When selfish publishers set up shops online, the primary goal is to publish as much as possible, often at the cost of quality. In this respect, many publishers start numerous online journals focused on overlapping( 重叠的)disciplines—to increase their total number of published papers—and hire young business managers who do not have any experience in either science or publishing. In some cases, online publishers even give up peer review, while still presenting themselves as scientific journals—deception designed to take advantage of scientists who simply want to share their research.If publishers structure their business to make more revenue, it often does harm to their products. When publishers start journals with overlapping domains, in combination with the pressure to publish more studies, this could promote the publication of marginal or even questionable articles. Moreover, publishers with multiple overlapping journals and journals with very narrow specialties(专业)increase the demands on the time and efforts of willing reviewers. With the fact that reviewers are generally not compensated for their time and effort, journal editors are often unable to find enough reviewers to keep up with the increased publication rate.To improve the situation and increase the trust in scientific community, the pressure to publish must be reduced. Funding and promotion decisions should not be based on the number of publications, but on the quality of those publications and a researc her’s long-term productivity and instructions.And that’s just the start. We need additional mechanisms, such as Beall’s list of predatory(掠夺的)publishers, to alert scientists to fake journals and fake articles. In addition, the price for online publication must be controlled and a mechanism must be put in place to honor and reward hard-working reviewers.51.What does the author think of online publishers?A)A small proportion of them can guarantee their publishing quality.B)T hey have lots of opportunities to renovate their business models.C)Many of them tend to try every means to make a buck.D)Social impact is their first priority when publishing books.52.It can be inferred from the second paragraph that .A)peer review generally is a criterion to identify academic journalsB)researchers focus their research on the combination of disciplinesC)scientists care about their publications rather than researchD)young business managers are willing to face new challenges53.Why can’t publishers find enough reviewers to review papers?A)Reviewers are pressed for time when reviewing articles.B)Reviewers’ gains can’t make up for what they have done.C)Publishers may compel reviewers to accept marginal articles.D)Publishers urge reviewers to increase publication rate rapidly.54.What is the author’s suggestion for online publication?A)More weight should be put on the quantity of publications.B)It is worthwhile to reward diligent reviewers for their effort.C)Fake journals should be reported to a regulatory organization.D)The price of online publication should be lowered greatly.55.What is the main idea of this passage?A)Online publishers should take measures to fight against fake scientific journals.B)Online publishers are pursuing their work efficiency at the cost of quality.C)Online publishers business models are quite likely to harm their publications.D)Online publishers are sacrificing the quality of research articles to make money.Part ⅣTranslation (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese intoEnglish. You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2.春节是中国的传统节日，相当于美国的圣诞节。

You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below.3.考证面前，我的选择The Popularity of Getting Certificates on CampusPart ⅡReading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes)Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1.For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.Guide DogsFor most dog owners, the expression “work like a dog”doesn’t make much sense. But some dogs happily perform very demanding jobs for much of their life, putting in a full day’s work just like the rest of us. Guide dogs, one of the most familiar sorts of working dog, provide an invaluable service to humans. Every day, they help their masters get from place to place more safely.What Guide Dogs DoGuide dogs help blind or visually impaired people get around in the world. In most countries, they are allowed to anyplace where the public is allowed, so they can help their handlers be in any place they might want to go to. To do this, a guide dog must know how to:·Keep on a direct route, ignoring distractions such as smells, other animals and people·Maintain a steady pace, to the left and just ahead of the handler·Stop at all curbs until told to proceed·Turn left and right, move forward and stop on command·Recognize and avoid obstacles that the handler won’t be able to fit through (narrow passages and low overheads) ·Stop at the bottom and top of stairs until told to proceed·Bring the handler to elevator buttons·Lie quietly when the handler is sitting down·Help the handler to board and move around buses, subways and other forms of public Vehicles·Obey a number of verbal commandsAdditionally, a guide dog must know to disobey any command that would put the handler in danger. This ability, called selective disobedience, is perhaps the most amazing thing about guide dogs that they can balance obedience with their own assessment of the situation.This capacity is extremely important at crosswalks, where the handler and dog must work very closely together to navigate the situation safely. Dogs cannot distinguish the color of traffic lights, so the handler must make the decision of when it is safe to proceed across the road. The handler listens to the flow of traffic to figure out when the light has changed and then gives the command “forward”. If there is no danger, the dog proceeds across the road in a straight line. If there are cars approaching, the dog waits until the danger is gone and then follows the forward command.On the Job and After HoursGuide dogs enjoy their work immensely, and they get a lot of satisfaction from a job well done, but there is noroom for typical dog fun during the work day. Games, treats and praise cannot distract the dog from helping its handler navigate the course. Even when the handler doesn’t need assistance, a guide dog on the job is trained to ignore distractions and keep still. This is because a guide dog must be able to come to the handler’s workplace or be in public places without creating a disturbance.When you see a guide dog on the job, it is extremely important that you recognize that it is at work. Petting or talking to the dog breaks its concentration, which impairs the handler’s ability to get around in his or her surroundings. People are very impressed with guide dogs and so we have a natural inclination to praise them, but the best thing you can do to help a guide dog is to leave it alone so that it can pay attention to its surroundings and maintain its focus on its handler. Guiding is very complicated, and it requires a dog’s undivided attention.When a guide dog gets home at the end of the day, however, it will play and soak up praise just like an ordinary pet. Guide dogs make the distinction between work and play based on their lead harness: When the harness is on, they must stay completely focused; when it comes off, it’s play time. Guide dogs work very hard every day, but they lead extremely happy lives, full of lots of attention and stimulation. Dogs only end up working as guide dogs if they absolutely love the work. In fact, many handlers report that their dogs leap enthusiastically into the harness every morning!TrainingPeople often raise Golden Retrievers(猎犬),German shepherds or Labradors(拉布拉多猎狗) as candidates of guide dogs. Once a dog is grown up, socialized and well trained, it goes to the guide dog school for evaluation.In some schools, if a dog is suited for training but not quite ready, it may go back to the puppy(幼犬) raiser for a month or so to mature. If a dog is simply not suited for training, the school will work to place the dog in another line of work, such as tracking, or find it a permanent home, usually offering it to the puppy raiser first. At Guiding Eyes for the Blind, only the top 50 percent of the puppies will stay with the school. So the school places a little over 400 puppies with raisers each year, needing only 200 dogs for the training program. Of that 200,a small percentage will become breeding stock, for Guiding Eyes or another school, and the rest will be considered for the training program.Training is a rigorous process for both the instructors and the dogs, but it’s also a lot of fun. To make sure the dogs are up to the challenge, most schools test them extensively before beginning the training. The tests are designed to assess the dogs’ self-confidence level, since only extremely confident dogs will be able to deal with the pressure of guiding instruction. If a dog passes the tests, it begins the training program right away.Different schools have different programs, but typically, training will last four to five months. To make sure the dogs master all the complex guide skills, the instructors have to introduce them to each idea gradually. Once they have introduced what is expected of the dog, training is essentially a matter of rewarding correct performance and punishing incorrect performance. This works with dogs because they are pack animals and have a natural need to please an authority figure. The instructor, or later the handler, is simply stepping into the place of the alpha dog, the leader of the pack.Unlike ordinary obedience training, guide dog training does not use food as a reward for good performance. This is because a guide dog must be able to work around food without being distracted by it. Instead, instructors use praise or other reward systems to encourage correct performance. The standard means of correction is pulling on the dogs leash, so that it pulls a training collar, giving the dog a slight pinch(捏，掐).Using this basic reward/punishment system, instructors work through the necessary skills for guiding.Forming a TeamThe final stage of a guide dog’s training is learning to work with its new master. Guide dog training schools work very hard to match handlers with guide dogs according to the compatibility of their personalities. A very energetic dog typically does well with a young handler, while an older handler may need an especially careful partner. Schools often have a special gathering to commemorate the time when a new class of guide dogs finally meets their masters. Often, the dogs’puppy raiser attends and meets with the new master as well. This is perhaps the most emotional time in the entire training process.After this introduction, guide dog instructors typically spend a month helping the new team learn to worktogether. Many schools have dormitories for the handlers to stay in during this final stage of training.If the handler has never used a guide dog before, a lot of the instructors work at this point are actually people training, not dog training. The handler has to learn to read the dogs movements, so he or she knows when the dog is turning or when the dog is stopping for a crosswalk or stairs. Additionally, the handler has to learn all the commands the dog knows, and must get some practice walking with the dog. The dog has to make the transition from obeying the instructor to recognizing the handler as its new master. The handler and the dog spend a lot of this time just getting to know each other, so that they are comfortable enough to work as a team. By the time they graduate from the guide dog school, they can read each others every movement.1. When a handler and a guide dog walk on the street__b______, .A) the handler must walk straight B) the dog must try to walk straightC) both the handler and the dog should walk straight D) neither of them has to walk straight2.

The name appears to originate in the time of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Different from the pen we use for writing, the “penpoint”of the Chinese writing brush is soft and big. They are generally made from animal hair, say, the rabbit, the sheep, the wolf, etc. Penholders are commonly constructed from bamboo, but special brushes may have handles of jade, carved ivory, or other precious materials. The most famous paper used for Chinese calligraphy and Chinese painting is rice paper, also named as Xuan paper. The paper is thin and light, and has a remarkable longevity. The quality of the Four Treasures of the Study plays a decisive role in one’s painting and calligraphy. Therefore, scholars engaging intraditional Chinese painting and calligraphy attached much importance to the choice of the tools.【听力原文】Section AN e w s R e p o r t O n eAn oral treatment for peanut allergy is still effective four years after it was administered, a study has found.Children were given a probiotic, with a peanut protein, daily for 18 months. When tested one month later, 80% could tolerate peanuts without any allergic symptoms and after four years, 70% of them were still able to eat peanuts without suffering any side-effects.Food allergies have risen dramatically in recent decades, with peanut allergy one of the most deadly. Lead researcher Prof Mimi Tang, of Murdoch Children’s Research Institute in Melbourne, said half the children were consuming peanuts regularly while others were only eating them infrequently. “The importance of this finding is that these children were able to eat peanuts like children who don’t have peanut allergy and still maintain their tolerant state, protected against reactions to peanuts,” she said. Prof Tang said it was the first time a treatment for peanut allergy had been shown to be effective for this long.heard.Q1. How long has the peanut allergy treatment been effective?Q2. Why is this finding so important according to Prof Mimi Tang?N e w s R e p o r t T w oAmazon has launched a service in the U.S. offering daily “essentials” for collection within two minutes of ordering.The items available in Instant Pickup include snacks, cold drinks, smartphone chargers and Amazon devices.The move poses a threat to bricks-and-mortar convenience stores, but one expert questioned its appeal. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has criticized Amazon on Twitter for harming other retailers. The new service will enable Prime and Prime Student members to use the Amazon app to order items they need urgently from a curated collection of popular products.Amazon employees at the pickup points then process the order, and it will be available to collect from a self-service locker within two minutes. For now, the service will be available at only one location in each of: Los Angeles, Berkeley, Atlanta, Ohio, College Park, and Maryland. The online retail giant already operates 22 manned pickup locations on or near university campuses in the country.heard.Q3. What is the new service Amazon has launched in the U.S.?Q4. What do we learn about the new service in the U.S.?N e w s R e p o r t T h r e eFor many of us, the distinctive chimes of an ice cream van conjure up happy childhood memories of British summers and dripping ice lollies. But the number of ice cream vans has been falling for years, leading some to believe that those bells may mean nothing to future generations of children.A crop of small, family-run businesses is determined to keep the industry alive however. These ice cream entrepreneurs have found business models that enable them to thrive in a market dominated by large retailers. And some have even dipped their toes in the export market.One such success story is Londoner John Bonar, 53, who started selli ng ice cream when he was just 11. “We would get on a lorry in the East End, fill barrows full of ice cream, get dropped off around Hyde Park or Madame Tussauds and just sell ice cream,” he tells me.He launched his own business at the age of 21, selling ice cream from a van with a hole in the floor and windscreen wipers that didn’t work. Today his firm Piccadilly Whip operates 20 ice cream vans inLondon and Essex, and has fixed stands at Tower Bridge.Questions 5 to 7 are based on the news report you have just heard.Q5. What do we learn about the ice cream vans in Britain?Q6. Who plays an important role in keeping this ice cream industry alive?Q7. How old was John Bonar when he launched his own business?Section BC o n v e r s a t i o n O n eM: Hello, Professor Johnson.W: Hello, Tony. So what shall we work on today?M: Well, the problem is that this writing assignment isn’t coming out right. What I thought I was writing on was to talk about what particular sport means to me when I participate in.W: What sport did you choose?M: I decided to write about cross-country skiing.W: What are you going to say about skiing?M: That’s the problem. I thought I would write about how peaceful it is to be out in the country.W: So why is that a problem?M: As I start describing how quiet it is to be out in the woods. Ikeep mentioning how much effort it takes to keep going.Cross-country skiing isn’t as easy as some people think. It takes a lot of energy, but that’s not part of my paper. So I guessI should leave it out. But now I don’t know how to explain thatfeeling of peacefulness without explaining how hard you have to work for it. It all fits together. It’s not like just sitting down somewhere and watching the clouds roll by. That’s different.W: Then you’ll have to include that in your point. The peacefulness of cross-country skiing is the kind you earn by effort. Why leave that out? Part of your point you knew beforehand but part you discovered as you wrote. That’s common, right?M: Yeah, I guess so.Questions 8 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.8. What is the topic of the man’s writing assignment?9. What problem does the man have while working on his paper?10. Why is it necessary to mention the effort part of skiing on the man’s paper?11.

Tonight we have Mr.Angeleno who came to the US six years ago, and is now an established businessman with three restaurants in town. Tell us Mr. Angeleno, how did you get started?M: Well I started off with a small diner. I did all the cooking myself and my wife waited on tables. It was really too much work for two people. My cooking is great. And word got around town about the food. Within a year, I had to hire another cook and four waitresses. When that restaurant became very busy, I decided to expand my business. Now with three places my main concern is keeping the business successful and running smoothly.W: Do you advertise?M: Oh yes. I don’t have any TV commercials, because they are too expensive. But I advertise a lot on radio and in local newspapers. My children used to distribute ads in nearby shopping centers, but we don’t need to do that any more.W: Why do you believe you’ve been so successful?M: Em, I always serve the freshest possible food and I make the atmosphere as comfortable and as pleasant as I can, so that my customers will want to come back.W: So you always aim to please the customers?M: Absolutely! Without them I would have no business at all.W: Thank you Mr. Angeleno. I think your advice will be helpful to those just staring out in business.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Q12. What is the woman’s occupation?Q13. What do we learn about Mr. Angeleno’s business at its beginning?Q14. What does Mr. Angeleno say about advertising his business?Q15. What does the man say contribute to his success? Section CP a s s a g e O n eThere are many commonly held beliefs about eye glasses and eyesight that are not proven facts. For instance, some people believe that wearing glasses too soon weakens the eyes. But there is no evidence to show that the structure of eyes is changed by wearing glasses at a young age. Wearing the wrong glasses, however, can prove harmful. Studies show that for adults there is no danger, but children can develop loss of vision if they have glasses inappropriate for their eyes.We have all heard some of the common myths about how eyesight gets bad. Most people believe that reading in dim light causes poor eyesight, but that is untrue. Too little light makes the eyes work harder, so they do get tired and strained. Eyestrain also results from reading a lot, reading in bed, and watching too much television. However, although eyestrain may cause some pain or headaches, it does not permanently damage eyesight.Another myth about eyes is that they can be replaced, or transferred from one person to another. There are close to one million nerve fibers that connect the eyeball to the brain, as of yet it is impossible to attach them all in a new person. Only certain parts of the eye can be replaced. But if we keep clearing up the myths and learning more about the eyes, someday a full transplant may be possible.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.Q16. What does the speaker want to tell us about eyesight?Q17. What do studies about wearing the wrong glasses show?Q18. What do we learn about eye transplanting from the talk?P a s s a g e T w oWhen people care for an elderly relative, they often do not use available community services such as adult daycare centers. If the caregivers are adult children, they are more likely to use such services, especially because they often have jobs and other responsibilities. In contrast, a spouse usually the wife, is much less likely to use support services or to put the dependent person in a nursing home. Social workers discover that the wife normally tries to take care of her husband herself for as long as she can in order not to use up their life savings. Researchers have found that caring for the elderly can be a very positive experience. The elderly appreciated the care and attention they received. They were affectionate and cooperative. However, even when caregiving is satisfying, it is hard work. Social workers and experts on aging offer caregivers and potential caregivers help when arranging for the care of an elderly relative. One consideration is to ask parents what they want before they become sick or dependent. Perhaps they prefer going into a nursing home and can select one in advance. On the other hand, they may want to live with their adult children. Caregivers must also learn to state their needs and opinions clearly and ask for help from others especially brothers and sisters. Brothers and sisters are often willing to help, but they may not know what to do.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.Q19. Why are adult children more likely to use community services to help care for elderly parents?Q20. Why are most wives unwilling to put their dependent husbands into nursing homes?Q21. According to the passage, what must caregivers learn to do? P a s s a g e T h r e eSince a union representative visited our company to inform us about our rights and protections’ my co-workers have been worrying about health conditions and complaining about safety hazards in the workplace. Several of the employees in the computer department, for example, claim to be developing vision problems from having to stare at a video display terminal for about 7 hours a day. The supervisor of the laboratory is beginning to get headaches and dizzy spells because she says it’s dangerous to breathe some of the chemical smoke there. An X-rays technician is refusing to do her job until the firm agrees to replace its out-dated equipment. She insists that it's exposing workers to unnecessarily high doses of radiation. She thinks that she may have to contact the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and asked that government agency to inspect the department. I've heard that at a factory in the area two pregnant women who were workingwith paint requested a transfer to a safer department, because they wanted to prevent damage to their unborn babies. The supervisor of personnel refused the request. In another firm the workers were constantly complaining about the malfunctioning heating system, but the owner was too busy or too mean to do anything about it. Finally, they all met and agreed to wear ski-clothing to work the next day. The owner was too embarrassed to talk to his employees. But he had the heating system replaced right away.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.Q22. What does the talk focus on?Q23. What did the X-ray technician ask her company to do?Q24. What does the speaker say about the two pregnant women working with paint?Q25. Why did the workers in the firm wear ski-clothing to work?。

Model Test 6Section ANews Report OneAn extraordinary tree frog thought to have died out more than a century ago has been rediscovered in India. The discovery was made by renowned Indian biologist Sathyabhama Das Biju and a team of scientists, in the jungles of north-eastern India. It is hoped the frogs might now be found across a wide area, from China to Thailand. Studies of the frog have also led scientists to reclassify it as an entirely new species.The newly uncovered frogs were first found by accident in 2007, during a search for other animals. Although the frogs have since been found in significant numbers, they are far from safe, Mr. Biju warned, with tropical forests being cut down at alarming rates to make way for agriculture and human settlements.1.Where the tree frog found?2.What threatens the existence of the tree frog?News Report TwoArmed carjackers picked the wrong mom to mess with Monday evening. Monitoring recording from the Tom Thumb service station in Florida shows the mother pumping gas when an armed carjacker jumped into the driver’s seat of her car and another struck on the windows with his gun.The mother, who had two children in the backseat, flung into action by pulling the masked man out of the vehicle and pushing him away from the car. The other carjacker can be seen fleeing the scene. The incident took place at approximately 10:15 p.m.Three suspects-two male and on female-were stopped by police after a short chase. No one was injured and three handguns were taken. The suspects were arrested and are facing charges of attempted carjacking and fleeing and breaking away from the police, according to the Police Department.3.What did the mother do in the incident?4.What was the result of the incident?News Report ThreeAn Australian furniture company is recalling one of its popular dining chairs after claims its design has made people lose parts of their toes. Two people have separately told Australian media they cut off a toe after catching it inside the chair leg. Fantastic Furniture said it was recalling their chair because the design of such metal chair may cause a hazard.This weekend, Australia’s media reported that an 11-year-old boy had to have reconstructive surgery-but still lost the end of his toe-after catching it on a chair in October. His mother posted a warning on Facebook saying the “super dangerous” chair had cut his toe off clean.A Sydney man said in October that his middle toe was sliced off after he caught it on the chair’s leg while chasing his young son. He is seeking compensation. Fantastic Furniture said customers could either return the chairs-which were on sale for A$39-or take free insert plugs which could be inserted inside chair legs to make them safe.5.Why did Fantastic Furniture call back its chairs?6.What do we learn about the 11-year-old boy?7.How did Fantastic Furniture react tot eh accidents?Section BConversation OneW: John, have you chosen a physical education class yet for this semester?M: No. Why?W: You’ve got to take rock-climbing. We just had the first class and it looks like it’s going to be great.M: You think I should take rock-climbing? You’ve got to be kidding. Besides, how can they teach rock-climbing when it’s completely flat around here?W: That’s not important. You can’t just start climbing without any training. You have to get in shape, learn how to use the ops, the bells, the buckles-there’s a lot of preparation first.M: You don’t think it’s just a little bit dangerous?W: Not if you know how to use the safety equipment, which is, by the way, pretty hi-tech. The ropes are made of elastic fabrics that stretch a little; the shoes have special plastic. You have to learn how to use all these before you do any real climbing.M: Well, what’s the appeal? We’ll spend the whole semester studying something we don’t actually get to do?W: We will take a climbing trip during spring break. But that’s not the point. Climbing is not the only goal. In preparing to climb you learn patience, mental discipline and you gain fantastic physical strength, especially in your hands. For the first few weeks we’re going to concentrate entirely on hand and upper body exercise.M: All that in one sport? Maybe you are right. Since it’s not too late to join the class, maybe I will.8.What do we learn from the conversation?9.Why does the woman say it’s not dangerous to do rock-climbing?10.What is one of the reasons why the woman is interested in rock-climbing?11.What will the man probably do after this conversation?Conversation TwoW: Good morning. What can I do for you, sir?M: Gooding morning. I’ve come for some advice. I think it’s time for my family to plan our summer holiday. But we can’t decide where to go.W: Very sensible of you to come in now. Do you have any particular places in mind?M: That’s just the trouble. None of us wants the same kind of holiday-my wife, our son and daughter and I. We all want different kinks of holiday.W: Well, we have a wide range of family holidays. Look, maybe you can just tell me all you likes and dislikes and I’ll suggest something.M: That’s probably the best idea. First of all, I can’t afford to spend a lot of money-um, we’ve just bought a new apartment. And I am a very keen fisherman, so I like to spend my holidays fishing. The children are longing to go to France-they are both learning French at school.W: Ah, I have it. How about a camping holiday in France?M: I think the children will like the idea of camping. But we have no equipment, not even a tent. W: Everything is provided. There’ll be a large frame tent with mattresses, sleeping bags, cooking equipment and everything you need for a fortnight’s stay. We even provide a tin opener-if you want to eat out of tins.M: sounds pretty good! Is there a river?W: Yes. It says “Good Fishing” here.M: Ah, This is the best idea.12.What is the purpose of the man’s visit?13.Why can’t the man make up his mind where to go?14.What can we learn about the man from the conversation?15.What does the man have to bring for a camping holiday in France?Section CPassage OneSteve Nichols has a way with birds. The founder of the UK’s National Parrot Sanctuary connects with them in a way few people can understand. Strolling through the center at Friskney, in Lincolnshire, he can individually name most of the 414 parrots under his care. The majority of birds at the center are “problem pets” which their owners gave away. Mr. Nichols said increasing numbers of owners were finding their parrots too much to handle and were giving them away to the sanctuary. At the current rate, he expects the sanctuary’s stock to go up to more than 1,000 birds within two years. It is noise and aggression that usually drive most people to give up their birds. When BBC News Online visited the sanctuary, one woman phoned Mr. Nichols about giving away her bird after owning it for just nine days-despite paying ￡900 for it. The bird had started attacking family members. Mr. Nichols says: “Most people just don’t realize what they are getting themselves into when they buy parrots…they are still wild animals and can be very difficult.” Mr. Nichols changes his mobile phone ring tone every couple of days to stop his parrots imitating it. It’s not like dogs which have been living with humans for thousands of years. In recent weeks, Mr. Nichols has opened his sanctuary to paying customers, mainly in the hope of raising money for his expanding operation, which also includes a 24-hour helpline for worried owners.16.Where are the birds at the Sanctuary mostly from?17.Why does Mr. Nichols change his mobile phone ring tone very often?18.What does Mr. Nichols charge visitors for?Passage TwoTeamso teachers and school administrators from at least fourteen American cities are at a conference in Washington. The American Federation of Teachers, a labor union, holds the Quest conference every two years. This year, one of the subjects is a tutoring program that provides extra help to students in Rochester, New York. The Rochester City School District was one of five in the nation recognized by the government for their tutoring programs. Tutoring is big business in the United States these days. There are private learning centers where parents can take theirchildren after school. Test preparation companies are also doing well. One reason for all this tutoring is the growing competition for places at top universities. Another influence is the government’s federal education law, called No Child Left Behind. The law requires services like free tutoring for poor students at schools that fail to meet educational goals for three years. There is federal money to pay the tutors. But the No Child Left Behind law does not say who must do the tutoring. It can be a private company or local teachers. The law does say, however, that the provider must have shown a record of effectiveness in helping students learn. In Rochester, the tutoring is provided by a teachers union, the Rochester Teachers’ Association.19.What organization is the host of the Quest conference?20.What is one of the reasons that tutoring becomes popular in the United States?21.Who will pay the tutors in the program?Passage ThreeThe weather is getting hotter and you’ll be getting thirstier playing basketball or riding home from school. A cold drink may be just the thing. But be careful what you pour down your throat. Something that looks cool may not be good for your health.There are plenty of so-called energy drinks on the market. Most of them have an attractive color and cool name. their nutrition lists also contain various things from vitamins to ginseng. Sounds great!But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks contain high levels of caffeine. These drinks are typically aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players.Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much.Caffeine raises your heartbeat. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee has limited its use. The amount of caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as high as in a strong cup of coffee or tea.Research by Australian scientists has found that many teenagers are affected by caffeine. The results of their survey show that 27 per cent of boys aged 8-12 take in more caffeine than their parents.There are potential health risks linked to energy drinks. Just one can of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart attacks.Teenagers should be discouraged from consuming drinks with a lot of caffeine in them, an expert from the Australia Nutrition Foundation said.22.What is the passage mainly about?23.What nutrition do energy drinks usually claim to contain?24.Who are among he target consumers of most energy drinks?25.What is the speaker’s attitude towards taking energy drinks?。

此处应填形容词，修饰名次societies。
文章第一句就说The typical pre-industrial family...“工业化之前的典型家庭模式......”，即“extended" family存在于工业化之前的社会，即agricultural society。
故J）正确。
选项中的primary”最初的，原始的“不符合原文意思。
48 选A）。
由be hard to do sth.可知，此处应填动词原形。
They are immobile“这样的家庭很难流动”，这说明这样的家庭are hard to...，选项中由transplant和transport两个动词原形，前者指的是“迁居，迁移”，后者指的是运输，不难推断前者符合原文意思，故A）transplant 正确。
49. 选C）。
因为这句话的句子结构完整，固此处应填副词。
选项中的副词有gradually和continually,原文中...and the so-called "nuclear" family emerged.所谓的“核心家庭”便出现了，emerge的意思是“浮现”，强调经过一个过程后出现的。
由此可以判断，这句话还是说明核心家庭从无到有逐渐出现，而不是连续不断地出现，故选择C)gradually。
50. 选O）。
该句可拆分理解，即a family unit... of parents and a smell set of children "一个家庭单元......父母和不多的孩子“，由此可以推出这里要填的词是表示”包含，由......组成“的。
选项中的including和consisting均可以表示此意，但由原文中的of可排除including, consist of为固定词组，故O）为正确答案。
51. 选H）。
从原文中的more...than可知，此处应填形容词，构成形容词的比较级结构。
由第一段最后一句可知the traditional extended family是immobile,那么新型的家庭模式比旧的因该是更有流动性，故应选H）mobile，说明新型的家庭模式的优点。
52. 选M）。
此处应填动词，作这句话的谓语。
Super-industrialism“(更发达的)超级工业化”......更具流动性的家庭。
可推知空格处应填表示“需要，需求”的词。
requires表示出自一种迫切的需要而提出的要求，很明显选择M)requires。
53. 选E）。
此处应填形容词，用来修饰名词components。
文中说明家庭被减缩到最......的成员，即由男人和女人组成，男人和女人是一个家庭最基本的成员。
选项中的E）elemental “基本的，本质的”，而N）primary“主要的，最早的”，原文强调的是男人和女人是一个家庭最basic的组成部分，故E）更符合原文意思。
54.选L）。
此处应填名词。
上段说两人家庭的优点，本句中提到rather than childlessness“而不是不要孩子”，说明晚要孩子是解决工作和孩子的折中的办法，故选项中的L）compromise“妥协，折中”符合文意。
而solution虽然也表示解决办法，但不能表达夫妇们无可奈何的心情，故排除。
55.选F）。
上题中已提到工作和要孩子之间存在矛盾即conflict，根据上下文意思，这个题相对容易。
56.选I）。
这段一直在说一个家庭里男人和女人因为工作和要孩子的事情发生争吵，那么将来要解决这个问题的仍然是家庭中的夫妻两人，故这里应填I）couples。
