Section B

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

(A)

As a teenage rock fan, all Dennis Vorreyer really expected of the Lollapalooza music festival in Chicago two weekends ago was the chance to see his favorite bands perform live.

But he and his father, Jeffrey, who accompanied him to the festival, signed up for Lollapalooza's text-message network, and thus learned about a guitar-playing contest taking place there. Dennis, 14, entered and won a new Gibson guitar. Tad Kubler, the lead guitarist for the Hold Steady, who was involved in the contest, then invited Dennis to perform with the band as it closed its set.

''Having your cellphone everywhere is important for everybody now,'' Dennis said. ''I never dreamed of playing Lollapalooza.'' The modern mobile phone -- equipped with camera, Internet access and more -- has proved to be a liability for some performers, like Akon and Beyonc? whose regrettable moments were captured by fans and then immortalized on YouTube and similar sites. But for the fans themselves, mobile phones are becoming as important an accessory as an all-access wristband. Beyond using them to record a short souvenir, they are becoming a ticket to everything from free ringtones to V.I.P. treatment.

On Gwen Stefani's recent tour, as many as 20 percent of the audience at some shows agreed to pay 99 cents for text messages and the chance to win better seats, according to the mobile marketing company Impact Mobile. At festivals like Lollapalooza, thousands of fans sign up to receive continuous updates from concert organizers about promotions and special events.

Even when there is no fee, the service comes at a price: fans must give their phone numbers to marketers. And purists -- and some artists -- disapprove of fans pecking out text messages or snapping pictures during performances. Still, the arrival of a new generation of phone-based activities could add a new twist to live events at a time when rising ticket prices have discouraged many concertgoers.

56. What is the passage mainly talking about?

A. The Lollapalooza music festival

B. How to use your mobile phones correctly

C. How to send and receive text message by mobile phones.

D. Mobile phones are very important for fans to get information

57. How did Dennis get the information about the guitar –playing contest?

A. His father Jeffrey told him about it

B. The lead guitarist , Tad Kubler , told him about it

C. The Lollapalooza’s text-message network told him about it.

D. He got the information from the local TV station

58. Why did some audience agree to pay money for the text message ?

A. Because they wanted to get better tickets for the concert.

B. Because they wanted to get the free tickets for the concert.

C. Because Gwen Stefani asked them to do so.

D.

59. The author seems to believe that ____________

A. Dennis V orreyer was fortunate to perform with the guitar band.

B. phone –based activities will become a turning point for the live events.

C. today cell phone is important and indispensable for everybody.

D. fans shouldn’t peck out text message or snap pictures during performances.

What can be done about mass unemployment? All the wise heads agree: there are no quick or easy answers. There is work to be done, but workers aren’t ready to do it —they’re in the wrong places, or they have the wrong skills. Our problems are “structural,” and will take many years to solve.

But don’t bother asking for evidence that justifies this bleak view. There isn’t any. On the contrary, all the facts suggest that high unemployment in America is the result of inadequate demand —full stop. Saying that there are no easy answers sounds wise, but it’s actually foolish: our unemployment crisis could be cured very quickly if we had the intellectual clarity and political will to act.

In other words, structural unemployment is a fake problem, which mainly serves as an excuse for not pursuing real solutions.

The fact is that Job openings have plunged in every major sector, while the number of workers forced into part-time employment in almost all industries has soared. Unemployment has surged in every major occupational category. Only three states, with a combined population not much larger than that of Brooklyn, have unemployment rates below 5 percent. So all the evidence contradicts the claim that we’re mainly suffering from structural unemployme nt. Why, then, has this claim become so popular?

Part of the answer is that this is what always happens during periods of high unemployment —in part because pundits and analysts believe that declaring the problem deeply rooted, with no easy answers, makes them sound serious.

I’ve been looking at what self-proclaimed experts were saying about unemployment during the Great Depression; it was almost identical to what Very Serious People are saying now. Unemployment cannot be brought down rapidly, declared on e 1935 analysis, because the work force is “unadaptable and untrained. It cannot respond to the opportunities which industry may offer.” A few years later, a large defense buildup finally provided a fiscal stimulus adequate to the economy’s needs —and sud denly industry was eager to employ those “unadaptable and untrained” workers.

But now, as then, powerful forces are ideologically opposed to the whole idea of government action on a sufficient scale to jump-start the economy. And that, fundamentally, is why claims that we face huge structural problems have been proliferating: they offer a reason to do nothing about the mass unemployment that is crippling our economy and our society.

So what you need to know is that there is no evidence whatsoever to back these claims. We aren’t suffering from a shortage of needed skills; we’re suffering from a lack of policy resolve. As I said, structural unemployment isn’t a real problem, it’s an excuse —a reason not to act on America’s problems at a time when action is desperately needed.

63. What does the author think is the root cause of mass unemployment in America?

A. Corporate mismanagement

B. Workers’ slow adaptation

C. Technological advance

D. Insufficient demand

64. What does the author say helped bring down unemployment during the Great Depression?

A. The wise heads’ benefit package.

B. Nationwide training of workers

C. The booming defense industry

D. Through restructuring of industries.

65. What has caused claims of huge structural problems to multiply?

A. Very Serious People ‘s attempt to cripple the economy

B. Powerful opposition to government’s stimulus efforts.

C. Evidence gathered from many sectors of the industries.

D. Economists’ failure to detect the problems in time.

66. What is the aut hor’s purpose in writing the passage?

A. To testify the experts’ analysis of America’s problems.

B. To show the urgent need for the government to take action.

C. To offer a feasible solution to the structural unemployment

D. To alert American workers to the urgency for adaptation

Section C

Directions: complete the following passage by using the sentenced given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

A. Another function of scannable chips in clothing could be the ability to find out more information about the product,

B. High-tech clothes will be a bestseller of IT times.

C. Through smart connected devices in our homes, our shopping needs will be anticipated and taken care of.

E. But what if it could soon be our clothing itself that has internet connect ability?

F. it isn't just a dream - internet-connected clothes are already being made but are yet to go mainstream.

Wearable technology is nothing new - activity trackers and smart watches are now as ubiquitous as trainers and glasses. _______67________ In the not too distant future, it's highly likely that our clothes will be almost as smart as our phones.

Given we’ve survived just fine for millennia with the clothes we have now , you might wondering what the point of connected clothing would be. Well, imagine if when you put a jacket in the washing machine, a chip in the jacket automatically puts the machine on the right laundry setting, making life just that little bit easier. ____________68_____________For instance, how it was designed, its sustainability and even a playlist made by the brand.

Whilst none of these functions are things we need, the hope is that they'll enhance our clothing and the experience that goes with wearing it. _______69_______One company leading the way is clothing care label manufacturer Avery Dennison, who have teamed up with fashion label Rochambeau and Everything to create a bomber jacket with a personalized QR code. The code in the chip then gives the wearer a number of perks such as entry to exclusive clubs, special menus at certain restaurants and a ticket to Rochambeau's next runway show.

But internet-connected clothing isn't the only way fashion is combining with technology - programmatic commerce, a concept developed by global ecommerce consultancy Salmon, is set to change the way we buy clothes._________70________ For example, before you've even realised you've run out of tights, your favorite online

retailer has automatically re-ordered some new ones for you based on your repurchasing patterns and an estimation of the average life cycle of your tights.

So with connected clothing and homes, it may soon be that when it comes to fashion, we barely have to think about anything at all.

II. Summary Writing (10’)

Direction: Read the passage carefully. Then write an English summary in about 60 words in your own words according to the passage given below.

Job seekers should know the rules of labor market before they try to find a proper job. Most career organizations highlight three stages for graduates to follow the process of securing a suitable career: recognizing abilities, matching these to available jobs and presenting them well to possible employers.

Job seekers have to make a careful assessment of their abilities. One area of assessment should be of their academic qualifications, which include special skills within their subject area. Graduates should also consider their own values and attitudes. An honest assessment of personal interests and abilities such as creative skills, or skills acquired from work experience, should also be given careful thought.

The second stage is to study the opportunities which are available for employment. To do this, graduates can study job and position information in newspapers, or they can pay a visit to a careers office, write to friends or relatives who may already be involved in a particular profession. After studying all the various options, they should be in a position to make informed comparisons between various careers.

Good personal personal is essential in the search for a good career. Job application forms should be filled in carefully and correctly, without grammar or spelling errors. They should also prepare properly by finding out all they can about the possible employer. When additional information is asked for, job seekers should describe their abilities and work experience in more depth, as well as balance their own abilities with the employer’s needs, explain why they are interested in a career with the particular company and try to show that they already know something about the company and its activities. Interviewees should try to give positive answers and not be afraid of asking questions about anything they are unsure about.
