Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.(A)1-5 BD A BC ABC D 6-10 B AB CB AC CTeenagers seem more likely to give in to peer influence than adults, but that may not be because teens are less 1 of making rational decisions themselves, studies on peer pressure suggest.Research finds people are strikingly susceptible to influences teenagers, but to what degree varies widely. In a growing body of work, scientists suggest that teens are more 2 to peer pressure than adults because they get greater pleasure from behavior they experience as rewarding. They tend to find being liked by other people very pleasing.Peer influence during adolescence is normal. During that time, people experience an increase in novelty-seeking, 3 by interest in exploring a new environment. This peer influence tends to 4 around age 15 and then decline. Teens get better at setting boundaries with peers by age 18, according to Laurence Steinberg, a psychology professor at Temple University.In years pas t, people thought teens didn’t have fully 5 frontal lobes (额叶), the part of the brain critical for decision-making and other more complex cognitive tasks. But an increasing amount of research seems to show that teens are able to make decisions as well as adults when they are not overwhelmed 6 with emotions.Peer pressure is often seen as negative, and indeed it can 7 teens into unhealthy behavior like smoking or speeding. But it can also lead to 8 in more useful social behavior. If peers value doing well in school or excelling at sports, for instance, it might encourage kids to study or train harder. And both peer pressure and learning to 9 it are important developmental steps to self-reliance, experts say.Facing the influence of friends represents an important developmental step for teens on their way to becoming independent-thinking adults, scientists say.In order for kids to develop the ability to stand up to peer pressure, parents have to let their children stand up to them, too, according to Dr. Steinberg. “If you’re the kind of parent that raises your children with the ‘do it because I said so’ 10 , you’re raising a child who’s going to be more susceptible to others saying, ‘Do this,’” he says.(B)1-5 CD C A D AC 6-10 ABC BC AB B BDStudents Honor 9/11 Through VolunteeringIn the days after Sept. 11, 2001, thousands poured into Ground Zero to lend their hands in one of the largest recoveryefforts(恢复经济) in American history. Now, 12 years later, colleges are finding ways to channel(疏通)the same 1 into service projects in their own communities on September 11th."9/11 is such a(n) __2__ touchstone(试金石)for our country, I think people want to find ways to do something, and students as well," says Kevin Kruger, president of the student affairs group. "The idea of giving something back to the __3__ ties in well to(密切配合)the emotional significance of that."Though no corner of the country was untouched by the terrorist attacks, they especially rocked (晃动)New York University on 9/11. Less than two miles from Ground Zero, students__4__ the plane-on-tower impact from their dorm rooms. The university coordinated(协调)shelters and counseling(提供建议)in the days afterward.Because of this, NYU public affairs director Philip Lentz says the volunteer work the students do this week has a "special relevance(关联)." Students today __5__ at a rescue mission, wrote cards for soldiers and veterans(老兵)and made donations for the families of victims and first responders (现场目击者)on 9/11."NYU feels it has a special __6__ to offer this service opportunity to students that are here so they can give back to the community that was so devastated(毁灭)by the attacks," Lentz says.Similar deeds have been taking place in George Washington University in Washington, D.C.

"We ask students to reflect on the tragedy of 9/11 and to use this day as a way to show civic engagement and community building."Ⅰ. Reading comprehension.Section ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C, D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.(A)Harvard LibraryIf we compare professors and students to the host of a university, then the library of a university can be compared to the hallway. The quality of a university, 1 , is in direct proportion to that of its library. At Harvard,the library is an essential part of everybody's life. Both the quantity and the 2 of the library make study a pleasant process.Harvard Library is not only the most ancient library in the United States, but the largest university library with the largest scale. In 1638 John Harvard 3 his whole library to the then Harvard College. After 300 years of development, the library now holds 10 million books and 4 more than 100 branch libraries. In addition to the libraries owned by each school, there are some branch libraries that are 5 in some aspects. While most of the branch libraries are on Harvard campus, some are as far as in Washington, D.C., or even in Florence of Italy. Yenching Library is famous for its 6 of East Asian literature. Lamont Library is the firstlibrary in the world that is 7 for undergraduates. Widener Library is the largest library in Harvard, only second to Library of Congress.What 8 to be mentioned is the system or rather theservice of the libraries. Usually the libraries are open from 9 a.m. to 5p.m.. The main libraries are open until 10 p.m.. The libraries forundergraduates will even be open all night during the 9period. The libraries also provide with students the service of 10 reading materials for all courses. At the beginning of a semester, each teacher will give a list of books to the librarians. The librarians are 11 to find out these books and put them at the places where students can easily find them.There is no limitation for the number of books that students can borrow. As the space for thelibrary is limited, many books are 12 in suburban library. Despite this, students can go to fetch the book at the 13 library within 24 hours after they submit request for that book. Even if there is only one book to be fetched from the suburban library, the libraries on campus will send someone to do the job. This kind of 14 which put readers in the first place is rare even in Ivy League. Therefore, study at Harvard will be a(n) 15 experience.A)1-5 BCADB 6-10 ACDAB 11-15 DCABD1.

Instead of taking a pill for breakfast, I had a bacon roll, cooked using gas. Science fiction has 1 to us.Making predictions is tricky, especially about the future, as physicist Niels Bohr joked. In science fiction, you can't escape that 2 though. Since its birth in the 19th century, writers have 3 imagined the things to come: devices that humankind will invent to make life easier. But in so many instances, those promises have not come to pass. The biggest 4 are in travel--jet packs, hoverboards and flying cars are yet to fill the skies. Air travel has become significantly cheaper and wide-reaching, but only using distinctly 20th-century technology: commercial aero planes are much the same as they were 50 years ago.5 is what science fiction frequently delivers, but its arrival in the real world has been unpredictable. Domestic robots with a degree of intelligence are yet to6 , though robotic vacuum cleaners are commercially available--even if they are fairly hopeless. Video calls have nowarrived--sort of--but conferencing on Skype is still dissatisfying. In mobiles, video call technology is now available, so when your dad rings to update you on his vegetable patch, he'll be able to7 your look of boredom.The truth is that we quickly 8 the astonishment of invention: our wonderment is soon replaced with the feeling of nothing new. We should ty to stay in that period of 9 . It is astonishing that the contents of every book ever written can be stored in a small box. Or that you can carry 10,000 albums on an object kept in your pocket. Or that almost all the information in the world can be accessed almost anywhere at any time. All these 10 are dependent on the emergence of the microchip and its place in computers. Yet sci-fi didn’t 11 the dominance of the computer in running our lives.But the real area where 12 far outstrips predictions is medicine. Sure, fiction would describe humans as ‘disea se-free’ but without going into detail. “Disease-fee” humans are still absent, but the progress made in 13 life is breathtaking. With relative ease, we can sequence anyone's genome (基因组), giving a read-out of our entire genetic code. This means we can find out the underlying genetic cause of thousands of diseases in minutes.Photosensitive implants now exist that can replace damaged cells in the retina (视网膜) and can thus 14 sight to the blind. While the inventions of science fiction can show great ideas we’d like to happen, nothing 15 the inventiveness of people in the real world.B)1-5 BBDAC 6-10 ACCBD 11-15 ADACD1.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)In his book The Tipping Point Canadian author Malcolm Gladwell explains how a trend can take many forms. It can be a general change in social behaviour, an idea or a fashion. However, why do some trends catch on and others not? What makes one particular brand of training shoe suddenly become the must-have product? How do people find out about trends and what makes people want to buy into them? Is it simply a question of keeping up with other people?In his new work, Gladwell explores the moment when something becomes common and how products, ideas messages and forms of behaviour spread. He looks at the reasons why trends are similar in the way they develop to outbreaks of disease, or medical epidemics.Epidemics, like trends, start in a very small way, maybe from a single person with a virus, then spread very quickly until they take over the population and appear to be everywhere. Eventually, they will slowdown gradually or die out suddenly. Gladwell shows how these changes happen not gradually but at one dramatic moment.Gladwell identifies three types of people who are influential in the development of these kinds of social epidemics.Connectors are people in a community who have wide social circles. They know a lot of people and like to introduce people to catch other. The people they know also tend to come from a variety of social, cultural professional and economic circles.Mavens are people with a lot of knowledge or experts in a particular field. They wish to pass on their knowledge to others. Mavens collect and gather information so are the first to pick up on new trends.Salesmen are people with charisma and powerful negotiation skills. They have a soft influence over people rather than actual power. This means they are influential because people want to imitate them.Overall, Gladwell's book is a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in the origins oftrends. What's more, he writes in a clear style so even the most difficult ideas are easy to understand.71.According to Gladwell, which of the following is asimilarity between trends and epidemics?A. Both of them start from nowhereB. Both of them die out in a short timeC. Both of them become popular overnightD. Both of them change he way people think72. What can be concluded from the passage about The Tipping Point?A. It is the writers first book to touch on social phenomenaB. It is intended to introduce the trends that once took overC. It deals with the ideas that most people identify withD. It explores How a trend originates and spreads73. The passage is most likely to beA. an adver sementB. a reviewC. a news reportD. a feature story74. Salesmen work in the development of trends by means ofA people intention to follow themB the way they gather informationD. their influence on the trendsC. their professional knowledge(B)(*Please purchase a ticket before boarding the coach75.

Heathrow Airport(C)As students are discussing their favorite colleges, there’s one characterist ic they can’t control their race. That’s one reason voters, courts and politicians in six states have outlawed racial preferences in college admissions, while other colleges, fearful-of lawsuits, play down their affirmative action efforts these days. But make no mistake race still matters. How much depends on the school and the state.In: Texas, public universities have managed to reduce the effect of racial-preference bans by automatically admitting the top 10% of the graduating class of every high school, including those schools where most students are minorities. But Rice University in Houston, private and highly selective, has had to reinvent its admissions strategies to maintain the schools minority enrollment. Each February, 80 to 90 black, Hispanic(西班牙裔) and Native American kids visit Rice on an expenses-paid trip. Rice urges headmasters from high schools with large minority populations to recommend qualified students. And in the fall, Rice sends two recruiters on the road to find minority applicants; each recruiter visits about 80 mainly black or Hispanichigh schools. Two weeks ago, Rice recruiter Tamara Siler dropped in on Westlake High in Atlanta, where 99% of the 1296 students are black. Siler went hearing literature and advice, and though only two kids showed up, she said: "Tm pleased I got two."Rice has also turned to some almost comical end-runs around the spirit of the law. The university used to award a yearly scholarship to a Mexican-American student; now it goes to a student who speaks Spanish really well. Admissions officers no longer know an applicant’s race. But a new essay question asks about each student "background" and "cultural traditions". When Rice officials read applications, they look for "diverse life experiences and what they awkwardly call "overcome students", who have triumphed over hardship.Last spring, admissions readers came across a student whose SAT score was lower than 1,200 and who did not rank in the top 10% of her class. Numerically speaking, she was far behind most accepted applicants: But her essay and recommendations indicated a strong interest in civil rights and personal experience with racial discrimination. She was admitted. All the newspapers say affirmative action is done, “says an experienced adviser at a large New York City high school. But nothing has changed. I have a(minority)kid at Yale with an SAT score in the high 900s.78. What does the word outlaw"(in Para. 1)most probably mean?A. supportB. consider D. hateC. ban79. What can we infer from the passage about affirmative action?A. It guarantees students, of different races to be admittedequally.B It discriminates against minority students in college admissions.C. It gives preference to minority students in college admissions.D. It is popular with American colleges but not with the American public80. Why does Rice University send two recruiters to find minority applicants?A. Rice has a large minority populationB: Rice wants to maintain its minority enrollmentC Minority students do not favor Rice very muchD. Minority students have better school performance81. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A: Here Comes Equality at LastB. Yes. Your Race Still MattersC. Well Done. Affirmative ActionD. Minorities Are Still a Minority in Universities(D)Direction: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Sleep in a BoxHaving a newborn can be discouraging and troublesome. What do you need to buy? How will you get the baby to sleep? And how will you pay for everything? Could the answers to these worries lie in a “baby box"?The baby box has taken the world by storm, but what is it? Well, it originated in Finland in thel930s as a kind of basic items for parents-to-be. The box, provided by the government, contains supplies, such as bibs, nappies, and teething toys. It also comes with a small mattress, which is placed in the bottom of the box to create the baby’s first small bed. Now, the idea of putting a child to sleep inbox may shock some. 82_______ the box has been a huge success and is said to be one of the main reasons why the death rate of infants in Finland is so low.A few years ago, stories of the Finnish baby box went relating to viruses. Other countries around the world have since caught onto the idea and adapted it to suit local needs. For example, in South Africa, the box is made of plastic and can be used as a bath rather than a bed. A(83* The version tested in India includes other appropriate supplies, such as a mosquito het to protect babies from malaria(疟疾).In Canada, additions to the baby box include a bed-side assistance booklet “to help fathers connect with their babies, Written in the style of a car-repair manual, the booklet offers first-time dads helpful advice on matters such as how to burp(使打嗝)their child. 84________ I wanted to make that moment available to all parents,” said Morris, a father of a two-month baby boy.85_________ Many believe governments should focus on providing parents with adequate maternity and paternity Leaves(父母产假) and improving health care andeducation.Good things cone in small packages, though, and for such a simple idea the baby box really does do a lot of things!第II卷Ⅰ.GrammarDirections:After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct.

The FDA will also require a warning label on e-cigarettes, starting August 2018, regarding the addictive nature of nicotine.

Variations depended on local customs and ways of life (20)______ toys imitate their surroundings. Nearly every civilization had dolls, little weapons, toy soldiers, tiny animals and vehicles.(C)In a shocking turn of events, the Academy Award for Best Picture was mistakenly awarded to "La La Land," (21)______ cast(剧组演员) and crew took the stage and began giving speeches-until a moment later the producers realized actually the award (22)_______(me an) for "Moonlight”.Presenter Warren Beatty explained afterwards that he was handed the wrong envelope, which contained the winner for best actress Emma Stone (23)______(star) in " La la land” After staring at the card for several moments, in (24)______ appeared to be an attempt to build suspense, his co-presenter Faye Dunaway announced that “La La Land" had won best picture.Realizing the mistake, representatives of Price Waterhouse Coopers raced onstage to stop the acceptance speeches from the "La La Lan d” team, and called the "Moonlight" cast and crew to the stage.

But because hard laughter is difficult to __68__, a good laugh is unlikely to have __69__ benefits the way, say , walking or jogging does.__70__, instead of straining muscles to build them, as exercise does, laughter apparently accomplishes the __71__, studies dating back to the 1930's indicate that laughter __72__ muscles.Such bodily reaction might help moderate the effects of psychological stress.

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.15AA is for always getting to work on time.B is for being extremely busy.C is for the conscientious (勤勤恳恳的) way you do your job.You may be all these things at the office, and more. But when it comes to getting ahead, experts say, the ABCs of business should include a P, for politics, as in office politics.Dale Carnegie suggested as much more than 50 years ago: Hard work alone doesn’t ensure career advancement. You have to be able to se ll yourself and your ideas, both publicly and behind the scenes. Yet, despite the obvious rewards of engaging in office politics—a better job, a raise, praise—many people are still unable—or unwilling—to “play the game.”“People assume that office politics involves some manipulative (工于心计的) behavior,” says Deborah Comer, an assistant professor of management at Hofstra University. “But politics derives from the word ‘polite’. It can mean lobbying and forming associations. It can mean being kind and helpful, or even trying to please your superior, and then expecting something in return.”16In fact, today, experts define office politics as proper behavior used to pursue one’s own self-interest in the workplace. In many cases, this involves some form Of Socializing within the office environment—not just in large companies, but in small workplaces as well.“The first thing people are usually judged on is their ability to perform well on a consistent basis,’” says Neil P Lewis, a management psychologist. “But if two or three candidates are up for a promotion, each of whom has reasonably similar ability, a manager is going to promote the person he or she likes best. It’s simple human nature.”Yet, psychologists say, many employees and employers have trouble with the concept of politics in the office. Some people, they say, have an idealistic vision of work and what it takes to succeed. Still others associate politics with flattery (奉承), fearful that, if they speak up for themselves, they may appear to be flattering their boss for favors.Experts suggest altering this negative picture by recognizing the need for some self-promotion.81. “Office politics” (Line 2, Para. 4) is used in the passage to refer to ________.A) the code of behavior for company staff17B) the political views and beliefs of office workersC) the interpersonal relationships within a companyD) the various qualities required for a successful career82. T o get promoted, one must not only be competent but ________.A) give his boss a good impression B) honest and loyal to his companyC) get along well with his colleagues D) avoid being too outstanding83. Why are many people unwilling to “play the game” (Line 4, Para. 5)?A) They believe that doing so is impractical.B) They feel that such behavior is unprincipled.C) They are not good at manipulating colleagues.D) They think the effort will get them nowhere.84. The author considers office politics to be ________.A) unwelcome at the workplace18B) bad for interpersonal relationshipsC) indispensable to the development of company cultureD) an important factor for personal advancement85. It is the author’s view that _______.A) speaking up for oneself is part of human natureB) self-promotion does not necessarily mean flatteryC) hard work contributes very l ittle to one’s promotionD) many employees fail to recognize the need of flattery( B )As Artificial Intelligence(AI) becomes increasingly sophisticated, there are growing concerns that robots could become a threat. This danger can be avoided, according to computer science professor Stuart Russell, if we figure out how to turn human values into a programmable code.Russell argues that as robots take on more complicated tasks, it’s necessary to translate our morals into AI language.19For example, if a robot does chores around the house, you wouldn’t want it to put the pet cat in the oven to make dinner for the hungry children. “You would want that robot preloaded with a good set of values,” said Russell.Some robots are already programmed with basic human values. For example, mobile robots have been programmed to keep a comfortable distance from humans. Obviously there are cultural differences, but if you were talking to another person and they came up close in your personal space, you wouldn’t think that’s th e kind of thing a properly brought-up person would do.It will be possible to create more sophisticated moral machines, if only we can find a way to set out human values as clear rules.Robots could also learn values from drawing patterns from large sets of data on human behavior. They are dangerous only if programmers are careless.The biggest concern with robots going against human values is that human beings fail to so sufficient testing and they’ve produced a system that will break some kind of taboo(禁忌).One simple check would be to program a robot to check the correct course of action with a human when presented with an unusual situation.If the robot is unsure whether an animal is suitable for the microwave, it has20the opportunity to stop, send out beeps, and ask for directions from a human. If we humans aren’t quite sure about a decision, we go and ask somebody else.The most difficult step in programming values will be deciding exactly what we believe in moral, and how to create a set of ethical rules. But if we come up with an answer, robots could be good for humanity.86. What does the author say about the threat of robots?A)It may constitute a challenge to computer progranmers.B)It accompanies all machinery involving high technology.C)It can be avoided if human values are translated into their language.D)It has become an inevitable peril as technology gets more sophisticated.87.

Jean wasn’t impressed by one of the koi on sale either.“Actually,these koi aren’t any nicer than(6)_______,”She commented.“(7)_______they are slightly bigger than the ones I’ve got,I paid considerable less than this.”I wasn’t quite as enthusiastic as Jean,but I did consider(8)________(buy)one.Then I remember that all but5of Freddie Mercury’s koi died when someone accidentally turned off the electricity supply to their pool.Jean assured me that with all the new equipment available the survival rate was getting better and better,and that looking(9)______koi was no harder than taking care of any other pet.However,in the end of I decided to stick with my goldfish.They’re not nearly as beautiful as koi—but they’re a great deal cheaper(10)______(replace)!Section BDirections:Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.Each word can only be used once.Note that there is one word more than you need.A.associatedB.likelyC.decreasesD.abstractE.limitF.funG.contributesH.consistentlyI.favorablyJ.reasonedK.averageThe Beadles sang that money can't buy you love.But what about happiness?Research(41)______shows that the more money people have,the more likely they are to report being satisfiedwith their lifes.And that makes sense:money buys you things that make life easier and more satisfying;the easier your life,the happier you tend to be.That relationship isn’t entirely linear,since there's a(n) (42)______to how much money can please you;the happiness benefit of an increasing income is especially powerful among people who don’t have much money to start with,and(43)______as wealth increases.But studies also reveal that as(44)______income levels have risen over time inthe U.S.and European nations.For example---residents of those countries have not reported beingany happier than people were30or40year ago.It's a paradox that while income and happiness may be(45)______within a population at any given moment,overall economic growth does not appearto corresponded to a boost in national satisfaction over time.To understand why,researchers at the University of Warwick and Cardiff University decidedto break down how individual people evaluate their income.What does wealth mean to people? Previous work has suggested that people tend to value their own wealth more-and are happier-whenit compares(46)______to everyone else's.The so-called reference-income hypothesis holds that itis not simply how much money you make that(47)______to satisfaction,but how much more money make than,say,the national average.The higher your salary than the norm,the happier you tend to be.But the reference-income hypothesis is rather(48)______.The researchers wondered whether there was a more concrete way to capture how people valued their income.They(49)______that people tended to make specific comparisons of personal wealth,not only with the average incomeof the larger population,but with the individual incomes of their neighbors,colleagues from college. And the higher their rank,the greater their sense of happiness and self-worth would(50)______ be."For example,people might care about whether they are the second most highly paid person orthe eighth most highly paid person,in their comparison set.”write the author,Chris Boyce,a psychologist at the University of Warwick.III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following

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)The definition of the standard kilogram is almost fundamentally wrong.Getting the definition right is a challenge that has tried the patience and intelligence of scientists for decades.Scientists use just seven basic units to define all the other quantities we use—quantities suchas speed or electric power.All of those basic units except the kilogram are themselves defined according to natural properties that are beyond human control.For example,the standard second(time)is defined as a specific number of vibration of a typeof radiation sent out by atoms of a special metal.The standard metre(length),in turn,is defined asthe length of the path light travels during a specific fraction of a second.Not so the kilogram.This orphan of the basic unit family is simply the mass of a small platinum-iridium alloy cylinder(铂—铱合⾦筒)locked away in a container maintained by the International Bureau of Weights&Measures in Sevres,France. Embarrassingly,the last time the copies were brought to Sevres for a checkup in the1980s, officials found that some copies had gained about20parts per billion in weight compared to the master cylinder since the previous checkup in the1940s.This implies that the master cylinder itself may be an inconstant standard.No one knows what causes the weight changes.But the uncertainty can’t be tolerated when precision(精密度)in research and some manufacturing now demands accuracy to a few parts per billion.Several efforts in several different countries are under way to redefine the kilogram in terms of basic physical quantities such as counting the actual number of atoms of a specific substance in a kilogram or the electromagnetic force that balances a kilogram mass against gravity.A project of the latter type at the laboratories in Gaithersburg,Md.,hopes eventually to define mass by means of electrical units.So far,none of these redefinition projects has borne fruit.They require the very accuracy of measurement and control of experimental conditions.The slightest pollution,tiny vibration,or other influence--even changes in weather--can ruin results.Y ou’vegot to hand it to scientists who are willing to devote many years to such painstaking but extremely important research.66.Which of the following best paraphrases the sentence“Not so kilogram”in paragragh4?A.The kilogram is not as accurate as the standard second.B.The kilogram is not universally accepted in the world.C.The kilogram is not defined in terms of natural properties.D.The kilogram is not well defined as time and length.67.Which of the following can NOT be concluded from the passage?A.Experiments are being carried out to redefine the kilogram.B.The uncertainty in the standard kilogram can seriously affect some research.C.The redefining of the standard kilogram is quite complicatedD.Scientists will achieve success in redefining the kilogram in the near future68.According to the passage,to define the weight of mass in terms of electrical units________.A.is one of the best methods to redefine the kilogram.B.has been accepted as the only possible redefinition projectC.is not as simple as what people can understandD.has been considered by some scientists as a better approach69.We can know form the passage that the redefinition of the kilogram is________.A.more important in keeping market honesty.B.worth years of scientists’painstaking research.C.the urgent requirement of business and manufacturing.D.bring about important and fruitful results.(B)Stewart Island Ferry ServicesWhile most visitors spend at least one night on Stewart Island,it is also readily accessible by ferry as a day excursion from Invercargill and Bluff.Experience Foveaux Strait in comfort and style on board our express catamarans.During the one-hour crossing between Bluff and Stewart Island keep a lookout for wildlife,especially seabirds.

Researchers in the field never tire of pointing out that TB kills a lot of people.According to figures released earlier this week by the World Health Organization,1.6million people died of the diseasein2005,compared with about3m for AIDS and l m for malaria.But it receives only a fraction ofthe research budget devoted to AIDS.America’s National Institutes of Health,for example,spends20times as much on AIDS as on TB.Nevertheless,everyone seems to getting in on the TB-day actthis year.The Global Fund an international organization responsible fur fighting all three diseases but best known for its work on AIDS,has used the occasion to trumpet its tuberculosis projects.Thefund claims that its anti-TB activities since it opened for business in2002have saved the lives ofover1m people.The W orld Health Organization has issued a report that contains some good news. Although the number of TB cases is still rising,the rate of illness seems to have stabilized;the caseload,in other words,is growing only because the population itself is going up.Even drug companies are involved.In the run-up to the day itself,Eli Lilly announced a$50m boost to its MDRTB Global Partnership.MDR stands for multi-drug resistance,and it is one of the reasons why TB is back in the limelight.Careless treatment has caused drug-resistant strains to evolve all over the world.The course of drugs needed to clear the disease completely takes six mouths,anti persuading people lo stay that course once their symptoms have gone is hard. Unfortunately,those infected with MDR have to be treated with less effective,more poisonous and more costlydrugs.Naturally,these provoke still more.non-compliance and thus still more evolution.The other reason TB is back is its relationship to AIDS.The(global Fund’s joint responsibility for the diseases is no coincidence.AIDS does not kill directly.Rather,HIV,the virus that causes it, weakens the body’s immune system and exposes the sufferer to secondary infections.Of these,TBis one of the most serious.It kills200000AIDS patients a year.However,some anti-TB drugs interfere with the effect of some anti-HIV drugs.Conversely,in about20%of cases where a patienthas both diseases,anti-HIV drugs make the tuberculosis worse.The upshot is that125years after human beings worked out what caused TB,it is still a serious threat.73.The first sentence“Like every dog,every disease now seems to have its day.”means_______.。

In a growing body of work, scientists suggest that teens are more 2 to peer pressure than adults because they get greater pleasure from behavior they experience as rewarding. They tend to find being liked by other people very pleasing.Peer influence during adolescence is normal. During that time, people experience an increase in novelty-seeking, 3 by interest in exploring a new environment. This peer influence tends to 4 around age 15 and then decline. Teens get better at setting boundaries with peers by age 18, according to Laurence Steinberg, a psychology professor at Temple University.In years past, people thought teens didn’t have fully 5 frontal lobes (额叶), the part of the brain critical for decision-making and other more complex cognitive tasks. But an increasing amount of research seems to show that teens are able to make decisions as well as adults when they are not overwhelmed 6 with emotions.Peer pressure is often seen as negative, and indeed it can 7 teens into unhealthy behavior like smoking or speeding. But it can also lead to 8 in more useful social behavior. If peers value doing well in school or excelling at sports, for instance, it might encourage kids to study or train harder. And both peer pressure and learning to 9 it are important developmental steps to self-reliance, experts say.Facing the influence of friends represents an important developmental step for teens on their way to becoming independent-thinking adults, scientists say.In order for kids to develop the ability to stand up to peer pressure, parents have to let their children stand up to them, too, according to Dr. Steinberg. “If you’re the kind of parent that raises your children with the ‘do it because I said so’ 10 , you’re raising a child who’s going to be more susceptible to others saying, ‘Do this,’” he says.(B)1-5 CD C A D AC 6-10 ABC BC AB B BDStudents Honor 9/11 Through VolunteeringIn the days after Sept. 11, 2001, thousands poured into Ground Zero to lend their hands in one of the largest recovery efforts(恢复经济) in American history.

Reading comprehension.Section ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C, D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.(A)Harvard LibraryIf we compare professors and students to the host of a university, then the library of a university can be compared to the hallway. The quality of a university, 1 , is in direct proportion to that of its library. At Harvard,the library is an essential part of everybody's life. Both the quantity and the 2 of the library make study a pleasant process.Harvard Library is not only the most ancient library in the United States, but the largest university library with the largest scale. In 1638 John Harvard 3 his whole library to the then Harvard College. After 300 years of development, the library now holds 10 million books and 4 more than 100 branch libraries. In addition to the libraries owned by each school, there are some branch libraries that are 5 in some aspects. While most of the branch libraries are on Harvard campus, some are as far as in Washington, D.C., or even in Florence of Italy. Yenching Library is famous for its 6 of East Asian literature. Lamont Library is the first library in the world that is 7 for undergraduates. Widener Library is the largest library in Harvard, only second to Library of Congress.What 8 to be mentioned is the system or rather theservice of the libraries. Usually the libraries are open from 9 a.m. to 5p.m.. The main libraries are open until 10 p.m.. The libraries forundergraduates will even be open all night during the 9period. The libraries also provide with students the service of 10 reading materials for all courses. At the beginning of a semester, each teacher will give a list of books to the librarians. The librarians are 11 to find out these books and put them at the places where students can easily find them.There is no limitation for the number of books that students can borrow. As the space for thelibrary is limited, many books are 12 in suburban library. Despite this, students can go to fetch the book at the 13 library within 24 hours after they submit request for that book. Even if there is only one book to be fetched from the suburban library, the libraries on campus will send someone to do the job. This kind of 14 which put readers in the first place is rare even in Ivy League. Therefore, study at Harvard will be a(n) 15 experience.A)1-5 BCADB 6-10 ACDAB 11-15 DCABD1.

Instead of taking a pill for breakfast, I had a bacon roll, cooked using gas. Science fiction has 1 to us.Making predictions is tricky, especially about the future, as physicist Niels Bohr joked. In science fiction, you can't escape that 2 though. Since its birth in the 19th century, writers have 3 imagined the things to come: devices that humankind will invent to make life easier. But in so many instances, those promises have not come to pass. The biggest 4 are in travel--jet packs, hoverboards and flying cars are yet to fill the skies. Air travel has become significantly cheaper and wide-reaching, but only using distinctly 20th-century technology: commercial aero planes are much the same as they were 50 years ago.5 is what science fiction frequently delivers, but its arrival in the real world has been unpredictable. Domestic robots with a degree of intelligence are yet to6 , though robotic vacuum cleaners are commercially available--even if they are fairly hopeless. Video calls have now arrived--sort of--but conferencing on Skype is still dissatisfying. In mobiles, video call technology is now available, so when your dad rings to update you on his vegetable patch, he'll be able to7 your look of boredom.The truth is that we quickly 8 the astonishment of invention: our wonderment is soon replaced with the feeling of nothing new. We should ty to stay in that period of 9 . It is astonishing that the contents of every book ever written can be stored in a small box. Or that you can carry 10,000 albums on an object kept in your pocket. Or that almost all the information in the world can be accessed almost anywhere at any time. All these 10 are dependent on the emergence of the microchip and its place in computers. Yet sci-fi didn’t 11 the dominance of the computer in running our lives.But the real area where 12 far outstrips predictions is medicine. Sure, fiction would describe humans as ‘disease-free’ but without going into detail. “Disease-fee” humans are still absent, but the progress made in 13 life is breathtaking. With relative ease, we can sequence anyone's genome (基因组), giving a read-out of our entire genetic code. This means we can find out the underlying genetic cause of thousands of diseases in minutes.Photosensitive implants now exist that can replace damaged cells in the retina (视网膜) and can thus 14 sight to the blind.

It can be a general change in social behaviour, an idea or a fashion. However, why do some trends catch on and others not? What makes one particular brand of training shoe suddenly become the must-have product? How do people find out about trends and what makes people want to buy into them? Is it simply a question of keeping up with other people?In his new work, Gladwell explores the moment when something becomes common and how products, ideas messages and forms of behaviour spread. He looks at the reasons why trends are similar in the way they develop to outbreaks of disease, or medical epidemics.Epidemics, like trends, start in a very small way, maybe from a single person with a virus, then spread very quickly until they take over the population and appear to be everywhere. Eventually, they will slowdown gradually or die out suddenly. Gladwell shows how these changes happen not gradually but at one dramatic moment.Gladwell identifies three types of people who are influential in the development of these kinds of social epidemics.Connectors are people in a community who have wide social circles. They know a lot of people and like to introduce people to catch other. The people they know also tend to come from a variety of social, cultural professional and economic circles.Mavens are people with a lot of knowledge or experts in a particular field. They wish to pass on their knowledge to others. Mavens collect and gather information so are the first to pick up on new trends.Salesmen are people with charisma and powerful negotiation skills. They have a soft influence over people rather than actual power. This means they are influential because people want to imitate them.Overall, Gladwell's book is a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in the origins oftrends. What's more, he writes in a clear style so even the most difficult ideas are easy to understand.71.According to Gladwell, which of the following is a similarity between trends and epidemics?A. Both of them start from nowhereB. Both of them die out in a short timeC. Both of them become popular overnightD. Both of them change he way people think72. What can be concluded from the passage about The Tipping Point?A. It is the writers first book to touch on social phenomenaB. It is intended to introduce the trends that once took overC. It deals with the ideas that most people identify withD. It explores How a trend originates and spreads73. The passage is most likely to beA. an adver sementB. a reviewC. a news reportD. a feature story74. Salesmen work in the development of trends by means ofA people intention to follow themB the way they gather informationD. their influence on the trendsC. their professional knowledge(B)(*Please purchase a ticket before boarding the coach75.

Heathrow Airport(C)As students are discussing their favorite colleges, there’s one characteristic they can’t control their race. That’s one reason voters, courts and politicians in six states have outlawed racial preferences in college admissions, while other colleges, fearful-of lawsuits, play down their affirmative action efforts these days. But make no mistake race still matters. How much depends on the school and the state.In: Texas, public universities have managed to reduce the effect of racial-preference bans by automatically admitting the top 10% of the graduating class of every high school, including those schools where most students are minorities. But Rice University in Houston, private and highly selective, has had to reinvent its admissions strategies to maintain the schools minority enrollment. Each February, 80 to 90 black, Hispanic(西班牙裔) and Native American kids visit Rice on an expenses-paid trip. Rice urges headmasters from high schools with large minority populations to recommend qualified students. And in the fall, Rice sends two recruiters on the road to find minority applicants; each recruiter visits about 80 mainly black or Hispanic high schools. Two weeks ago, Rice recruiter Tamara Siler dropped in on Westlake High in Atlanta, where 99% of the 1296 students are black. Siler went hearing literature and advice, and though only two kids showed up, she said: "Tm pleased I got two."Rice has also turned to some almost comical end-runs around the spirit of the law. The university used to award a yearly scholarship to a Mexican-American student; now it goes to a student who speaks Spanish really well. Admissions officers no longer know an applicant’s race. But a new essay question asks about each student "background" and "cultural traditions". When Rice officials read applications, they look for "diverse life experiences and what they awkwardly call "overcome students", who have triumphed over hardship.Last spring, admissions readers came across a student whose SAT score was lower than 1,200 and who did not rank in the top 10% of her class. Numerically speaking, she was far behind mostaccepted applicants: But her essay and recommendations indicated a strong interest in civil rights and personal experience with racial discrimination. She was admitted. All the newspapers say affirmative action is done, “says an experienced adviser at a large New York City high school. But nothing has changed. I have a(minority)kid at Yale with an SAT score in the high 900s.78. What does the word outlaw"(in Para. 1)most probably mean?A. supportB. consider D. hateC. ban79. What can we infer from the passage about affirmative action?A. It guarantees students, of different races to be admitted equally.B It discriminates against minority students in college admissions.C. It gives preference to minority students in college admissions.D. It is popular with American colleges but not with the American public80. Why does Rice University send two recruiters to find minority applicants?A. Rice has a large minority populationB: Rice wants to maintain its minority enrollmentC Minority students do not favor Rice very muchD. Minority students have better school performance81. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A: Here Comes Equality at LastB. Yes. Your Race Still MattersC. Well Done. Affirmative ActionD. Minorities Are Still a Minority in Universities(D)Direction: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Sleep in a BoxHaving a newborn can be discouraging and troublesome. What do you need to buy? How will you get the baby to sleep? And how will you pay for everything? Could the answers to these worries lie in a “baby box"?The baby box has taken the world by storm, but what is it? Well, it originated in Finland in thel930s as a kind of basic items for parents-to-be. The box, provided by the government, contains supplies, such as bibs, nappies, and teething toys. It also comes with a small mattress, which is placed in the bottom of the box to create the baby’s first small bed. Now, the idea of putting a child to sleep inbox may shock some. 82_______ the box has been a huge success and is said to be one of the main reasons why the death rate of infants in Finland is so low.A few years ago, stories of the Finnish baby box went relating to viruses. Other countries around the world have since caught onto the idea and adapted it to suit local needs. For example, in South Africa, the box is made of plastic and can be used as a bath rather than a bed. A(83* The version tested in India includes other appropriate supplies, such as a mosquito het to protect babies from malaria(疟疾).In Canada, additions to the baby box include a bed-side assistance booklet “to help fathers connect with their babies, Written in the style of a car-repair manual, the booklet offers first-time dads helpful advice on matters such as how to burp(使打嗝)their child. 84________ I wanted to make that moment available to all parents,” said Morris, a father of a two-month baby boy.85_________ Many believe governments should focus on providing parents with adequate maternity and paternity Leaves(父母产假) and improving health care and education.Good things cone in small packages, though, and for such a simple idea the baby box really does do a lot of things!第II卷Ⅰ.GrammarDirections:After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct.

This company had been assembled by a wealthy woman who had no experience of the stage, but whose fortune allowed her to indulge herself. The final act of this play included a small, but vital part—that of the detective. He was supposed to land by helicopter, enter through the French windows and question everyone on the stage about the murder which had taken place. When the actor cast as the detective failed to show up for rehearsals the stage carpenter volunteered to take his place. He assured his wealthy patron that he had wide experience of comedy and that this part would be easy for him. She believed him. The rest of the company were not so sure. For some reason the carpenter only rehearsed the part once. Even so the ‘manager’ felt totally confident about him.On the opening night all went well until the moment when the helicopter was supposed to land. The terrible noise from the room above, which should have set the chandelier swinging wildly and at which one of the actors was supposed to say, ‘What is that awful noise?’ never happened. Since the next part of the play was concerned with the noise, the actors had to do the best they could and make up the lines. This went on for several minutes, with the cast becoming increasingly desperate when, suddenly, the chandelier began swinging violently, but in total silence. Finally the sound of the approaching helicopter was heard and the cast turned with relief to greet the detective as he entered through the French windows. The sight that met their eyes left them speechless. There stood the carpenter, dressed in a policeman’s uniform but wearing enough make-up for a circus clown. He had two bright red spots on his cheeks and his lips were a vivid pink. His eyes were ringed with enormous bright blue circles, with a blob of black mascara on the end of each lash.After delivering his first line, he then completely forgot the rest of his part. So, striding to the center of the stage, he took off his helmet, in which he had hidden a dirty piece of paper on which he had written his lines. He started reading these like a commentator giving the racing results. When he came to turn over the page, he lost his place, fumbled hopelessly, and when he’d found it, bowed to the audience, saying ‘Pardon me,’ before carrying on. He stuck to carpentry after that.1.The owner of the theatrical company _____________.A. was too rich to be an actressB. had enough money to put on playsC. was rich enough to be able to actD. put all her money into the company2.Why did the wealthy ‘manager’ believe the carpenter could play the part of the detective?A.

One can get tickets at a lower price as long as he books in advance.(C)The American screen has long been a smoky place, at least since 1942s Now, V oyager, in which Bette Davis and Paul Henreid showed how to make and seal a romantic deal over a pair of cigarettes that were smoldering as much as the stars. Today cigarettes are more common on screen than at any other time since mid-century: 75% of all Hollywood films—including 36% of those rated G or PG—show tobacco use, according to a 2006 survey by the University of California, San Francisco.Audiences, especially kids, are taking notice. Two recent studies, published in Lancet and Pediatrics, have found that among children as young as 10, those exposed to the most screen smoking are up to 2.7 times as likely as others to pick up the habit. Worse, it’s the ones from nonsmoking homes who are hit the hardest. Now the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) the folks behind the designated-driver campaign—are pushing to get the smokes off the screen. “Some movies show kids up to 14 incidents of smoking per hour”, says Barry Bloom, HSPH’s dean. “We’re in the business of preventing disease, and cigarettes are the No. 1 preventable cause”.Harvard long believed that getting cigarettes out of movies could have as powerful an effect, but it wouldn’t be easy. Cigarette makers had a history of striking product-placement deals with Hollywood, and while the 1998 tobacco settlement prevents that, nothing stops directors from incorporating smoking into scenes on their own. In 1999 Harvard began holding one-on-one meetings with studio execs trying to change that, and last year the Motion Picture Association of America flung the door open, inviting Bloom to make a presentation in February to all the studios. Harvard’s advice was direct: Get the butts entirely out, or at least make smoking unappealing.A few films provide a glimpse of what a no-smoking or low-smoking Hollywood would be like. Producer Lindsay Doran, who once helped persuade director John Hughes to keep Ferris Bueller smoke-free in the 1980s hit, wanted to do the same for the leads of her 2006 movie Stranger Than Fiction. When a writer convinced her that the character played by Emma Thompson had to smoke, Doran relented, but from the way Thompson hacks her way through the film and snuffs out her cigarettes in a palmful of spit, it’s clear the glamour’s gone. And remember all the smoking in The Devil Wears Prada? No? That’s because the producers of that film kept it out entirely—even in a story that travels from the US fashion world to Paris, two of the most tobacco-happy places on earth. “No one smoked in that movie”, says Doran, “and no one noticed”. Such movies are hardly the rule, but the pressure is growing. Like smokers, studios may conclude that quitting the habit is not just a lot healthier but also a lot smarter.1.Why the author mentioned Now, V oyager?A. Smoke on screen can make romance.B. To show American screen was full of cigarette smoke.C. To explain why cigarettes are easier to get than past.D. The romantic Hollywood movie is a typical example of smoky screen.2.It’s hard to get cigarettes out of Hollywood because ________.A. Harvard believed that it is not easy to get cigarettes out of moviesB. directors are reluctant to do soC. Hollywood needs smoke incident to attract audiencesD. the relation between cigarette makers and Hollywood is complex3.Which of the following statements is true according to the author?A. Mosbfilms provide a glimpse of a no-smoking or low-smoking HollywoodB. Feris Bueller didn’t smoke in the 1980s hit.C. Doran will let Emma Thompson smoke continuously next filmsD. No one noticed the tobacco in The Devil Wears Prada4.What’s the author’s attitude toward getting cigarettes out of screen?A. supportive.B. OptimisticC. IndifferentD. Skeptical(D)Many people seem to think that science fiction is typified by the cover of some of the old pulp magazines: the Bug-eyed Monster, embodying every trait and feature that most people find repulsive, is about grab, and presumably ravish, a sweet, blonde, curvaceous, scantily-clad Earth girl. This is unfortunate because it demeans and degrades a worthwhile and even important literary endeavor. In contrast to this unwarranted stereotype, science fiction rarely emphasizes sex, and when it does, it is more discreet than other contemporary fiction. Instead, the basic interest of science fiction lies in the relation between man and his technology and between man and the universe. Science fiction is a literature of change and a literature of the future, and while it would be foolish to claim that science fiction is a major literary genre at this time, the aspects of human life that it considers make it well worth reading and studying for no other literary form does quite the same things. The question is: what is science fiction? And the answer must be, unfortunately, that there have been few attempts to consider this question at any length or with much seriousness; it may well be that science fictionwill resist any comprehensive definition of its characteristics. To say this, however, does not mean that there are no ways of defining it nor that various facets of its totality cannot be clarified.To begin with, the following definition should be helpful: science fiction is a literary sub-genre which postulates a change (for human beings from conditions as we know them and follows the implications of these changes to a conclusion. Although this definition will necessarily be modified and expanded, and probably changed, in the course of this exploration, it covers much of the basic groundwork and provides a point of departure. The first point that science fiction is a literary sub-genre is a very important one, but one which is often overlooked or ignored in most discussions of science fiction. Specifically, science fiction is either a short story or a novel. There are only a few dramas which could be called science fiction, with Karel Capek’s RUR(Rossum’s Universal Robots) being the only one that is well known; the body of poetry that might be labeled science fiction is only slightly larger. To say that science fiction is a sub-genre of prose fiction is to say that it has all the basic characteristics and serves the same basic functions in much the same way as prose fiction in general, that is, it shares a great deal with all other novels and short stories.Everything that can be said about prose fiction, in general, applies to science fiction. Every piece of science fiction whether short story or novel, must have a narrator, a story, a plot, a setting characters, language, and theme. And like any prose, the themes of science fiction are concerned with interpreting mans nature and experience in relation to the world around him. Themes in science fiction are constructed and presented in exactly the same ways that themes are dealt with in any other kind of fiction. They are the result of a particular combination of narrator, story, plot, character, setting, and language. In short, the reasons for reading and enjoying science fiction, and the ways of studying and analyzing it, are basically the same as they would be for any other story or novel.1.The view of science fiction encouraged by pulp magazines, while wrong, is nevertheless _________.A. popularB. ElegantC. fashionableD. accurate2.Science fiction is called a literary sub-genre because _______.A. it is not important enough to be a literary genreB. it can not be made into a dramatic presentationC. it has its limitsD. it shares characteristics with other types of prose fiction3.Which of the following does NOT usually contribute to the theme in a piece of science fiction _____.A. characterB. rhymeC. plotD. setting4.The authors definition suggests that all science fiction deals with _________.A. monstersB. the same topics addressed by novels and short storiesC. the unfamiliar or unusualD. the conflict between science and fiction5.One implication of the final sentence in the passage is that __________.A. those who can read and analyze fiction can also do so with science fictionB. there is no reason for any reader not to like science fictionC. all fiction consists of six basic elementsD. there are reasons for enjoying science fictionIV.

And, ___49___, it is not the youngest kids who are hurt the most in the long term.Bullying can have long-lasting effects, but particularly when it begins in ___50___, the researchers say. People ___51___ to either verbal or physical bullying are known to be at greater risk of developing depression, anxiety disorders or to behave ___52___. But not everyone reacts in this way.Children bullied for the first time hit adolescence seem to get over it, but those who are bullied for the first time later on in adolescence seem to become more ___53___ or are more likely to turn to drink as a means of coping. These are the conclusions of psychologist Matthew Newman and colleagues from the University of Texas at Austin, US.The team gave questionnaires to nearly 1,500 college students regarding their experience of physical and ___54___ bullying before adolescence—before high school—and in late adolescence—at high school. They assessed mood and mental state, ___55___ by signs of anxiety or depression, such as sleeplessness. The group was also questioned about how they would react to certain ___56___, such as humiliation.People who were bullied all revealed slightly higher levels of stress. But while those bullied earlier in life seemed to respond normally to provocation (挑畔), people bullied for the first time late in adolescence are more withdrawn and ___57___ to violence.There are also sex differences between those bullied for the first time during adolescence, with females more likely to react aggressively when provoked and males are much more likely to turn to alcohol to escape bad situations. The best solution in all cases was strong social ____58___, whether from friends, family or school. Those with no one to share their problems with suffered the most.So perhaps it is best not to shelter children completely from bullying early on, suggests Newman. “They may get stressed, but unhealthy coping really jumps out when they are bullied for the first time later on.”What are the things that first come to your mind when you think of the UK? Are they nonstop rain, polite manners, boring food and tea drinking?Some of the UK’s ___59___ stereotypes are true, a new survey has found. For example, British people do have a(n) ___60___ to drink lots of tea.The research polled 1,402 foreigners living in the UK on their opinions about the British way of life. Unsurprisingly, the majority of them, almost 70 percent, said they enjoyed living in the country—good manners, especially UK people’s extraordinary ability to queue, are the main reasons for foreigners’ ___61___. More than one-third said they liked British people’s restrained ___62___ to emotion.However, there are aspects of British culture that are ___63___ upon. The heavy alcohol drinking culture ___64___ as the least favorite characteristic, followed by the British sense of humor and the country’s bad weather. It may not be too hard to understand why heavy drinking and bad weather are ___65___, but what’s wrong with the British sense of humor?British humor is known for being dry and satirical(讽刺的),so it is generally more ___66___. When it comes to making the British laugh, there is nothing more ___67___ than a socially inappropriate joke, noted the BBC.“Britons are more comfortable with life’s loser,”write English actor Ricky Gervais in an article published inTime magazine.“The majority of nationalities have stcrotypes fitted around them and Britons don’t escape this,”said Liam Clifford, the founder of Global Visas, the website that conducted the research.“People’s probably come here with a stereotype-based preconception of what to expect. It’s good to see from our survey, though, that, in the majority of cases,this reputation is actually ___68___ upon living here.”Ⅰ. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C, and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Homework, may have a positive influence on students’ conscientiousness. Previous research finds that homework effort is consistently ___69___ with student achievement. ___70___ conscientiousness appears to be the most important personality for predicting homework effort. With this connection in mind, ___71___ of homework have argued that the effort that students put in their homework may have positive effects by influencing conscientiousness. In their study, the Tübingen scientists investigated whether this ___72___ holds true.They analyzed 2,760 students from two different schools in the German states. Students were evaluated right after their ___73___ from primary to secondary school in Grade 5. For the next three years, students were evaluated ___74___ between six and eight weeks after the start of each school year. They answered questions such as how many of their last 10 homework assignments to mathematics. Also, they were asked how conscientious they thought they were, including whether they would describe themselves as tidy or as ___75___ ___76___ students’ self-reports, parents were asked to ___77___ their children’s conscientiousness as well.Results show that those students who put a lot of effort in their homework between Grade 5 and 8 also ___78___ in terms of their conscientiousness. Previous research has shown that conscientiousness tends to undergo a temporary ___79___ in late childhood and early adolescence. As the results found by the Tubingen scientists suggest, doing your homework thoroughly appeared to balance it."Our results show that homework is not only relevant for school performance, but also benefits personality development—if students put a lot of effort into their assignments," says Richard Göllner, first author of the study. "The question whether doing your homework can also influence the conscientiousness development has been mostly ___80___ in previous discussions of the role of homework," criticizes Ulrich Trautwein, director of the Hector Research Institute. "We need to ___81___ more precisely what expectations we have ___82___ homework and how those expectations can be ___83___."69. A. connected B. concerned C. associated D.dealt70. A. Therefore B.

A. fulfilled B. completed C. perform D. implementedSection BDirections:Read the following three passages. Choose the answer that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Those who welcomed the railway saw it as more than a rapid and comfortable means of passing. They actually saw it as a factor in world peace. They did not foresee that the railway would be just one more means for the rapid movement of aggressive armies. None of them foresaw that the more we are together—the more chances there are of war. Any boy or girl who is one of a large family knows that.Whenever any new invention is put forward, those for it and those against it can always find medical men to approve or condemn. The anti-railway group produced doctors who said that tunnels would be most dangerous to public health: they would produce colds, catarrhs and consumptions. The deafening noise and the glare of the engine fire, would have a bad effect on the nerves. Further, being moved through the air at a high speed would do grave injury to delicate lungs. In those with high blood pressure, the movement of the train might produce apoplexy. The sudden plunging of a train into the darkness of a tunnel, and the equally sudden rush into full daylight, would cause great damage to eyesight. But the pro-railway group was of course able to produce equally famous medical men to say just the opposite. They said that the speed and swing of the train would equalize the circulation, promote digestion, tranquilize the nerves, and ensure good sleep.The actual rolling-stock was anything but comfortable. If it was a test of endurance to sit for four hours outside a coach in rain, or inside in dirty air, the railway offered little more in the way of comfort. Certainly the first-class carriages had cushioned seats; but the second-class had only narrow bare boards, while the third-class had nothing at all; no seats and no roof; they were just open trucks. So that third-class passengers gained nothing from the few mode except speed. In the matter of comfort, indeed they lost; they did, on the coaches, have a seat, but now they had to stand all the way, which gave opportunities to the comic press. This kind of thing: "A man was seen yesterday buying a third-class ticket for the new London and Birmingham Railway. The state of his mind is being enquired into".A writer in the early days of railways wrote feelingly of both second-and third-class carriages. He made the suggestion that the directors of the railways must have sent all over the world to find the hardest possible wood. Of the open third-class trucks he said that they had the peculiar property of meeting the rain from whatever quarter it came. He described them as horizontal shower-baths, from whose searching power there was no escape.84. According to those who welcomed the railway, the railway itself should include all the following expect ____.A. the railway enables people travel fastB. the railway brings comfort to peopleC. the railway makes the world peacefulD. the railway leads the world to war as well85. According to the anti-railway group, all the followings are true but ___.A. tunnels are dangerous to public healthB. the noise and the glare of the engine fire may affect people’s nervesC. the rapid speed through the air does damage to people’s lungsD. to those with high blood-pressure, the rapid speed of the train causes them to die86. We may safely conclude that ___.A. the author belongs to the anti-railway groupB. he author belongs to the for-railway groupC. the author speaks highly of the railwayD. the author may never take train because of its potential dangers87. What is the tone of this passage?A. PracticalB. SatiricalC. HumorousD. Exaggerated(B)Ecological & Geological ToursSurrounded by the sea, Hong Kong is a fun and wonderful place for water sports.

Tai Tam Harbour is the only natural coastline along the sand beaches at To Tei Wan and the Ngan Hang VillageD. Tai Tam Harbour is not far from to Tei Wan and the Ngan Hang Village(C)Of all the areas of learning the most important is the development of attitudes: emotional reactions as well as logical thought processes affect the behavior of most people. “The burnt child fears the fire” is one instance; another is the rise of despots like Hitler. Both these examples point up the fact that attitudes come from experience. In the one case the experience was direct and impressive; in the other it was indirect and cumulative. The Nazis were influenced largely by the speeches they heard and the books they read.The classroom teacher in the elementary school is in strategic position to influence attitudes. This is true partly because children acquire attitudes from those adults whose words are highly regarded by them.Another reason it is true is that pupils often devote their time to a subject in school that has only been touched upon at home or has possibly never occurred to them before. To a child who has previously acquire little knowledge of Mexico, his teacher’s method of handling such a unit would greatly affect his attitude toward Mexicans.The media through which the teacher can develop whole greatly attitudes are innumerable. Social studies(with special reference to races, beliefs and nationalities),science matters of health and safety, the very atmosphere of the classroom… these are a few of the fertile fields for the induction of proper emotional reactions.However, when children come to school with undesirable attitudes, it is unwise to attempt to change their feelings by criticizing them. She can achieve the proper effect by helping them obtain constructive experience.To illustrate, first-grade pupils, afraid of policemen will probably change their attitudes after a classroom chat with the neighborhood officer as which he explains how he protects them. In the same way, a class of older children can develop attitudes through discussion, research, outside reading and all-day trips.Finally, a teacher must constantly evaluate her own attitudes, because her influence can be negative if she has personal prejudices. This is especially true in respect to controversial issues and questions of which children shouldbe encouraged to reach their own decisions as result of objective analysis of all the facts.91. Which of the following best describes the organization of the first paragraph of the text?A. A statement is made and two examples are given to illustrate it.B. A controversy is stared and two opposite points of view are presented.C. A widely accepted definition is presented and two men are described.D. An idea is stated and two results of recent research are summarized.92. The central idea conveyed in the above text is that ___.A. attitudes affect our actionsB. teachers play a significant role in developing or reshaping pupils’ attitudesC. attitudes can be modified by some classroom experiencesD. by their attitudes, teachers don’t affect pupils’ attitudes deliberately.93. In Paragraph 6 the author implies that ___.A. the teacher should guide all discussions by revealing her own attitudeB. in some aspects of social studies a greater variety of methods can be used in the upper grades than in the lowergradesC. people usually act on the basic of reasoning rather than on emotionD. children’s attitudes often come from those of other children94. The text specially states that ______.A. direct experiences are more valuable than indirect onesB. whatever attitudes a child learns in school have already been introduced at homeC. teachers can sometimes have an undesirable influence on childrenD. teachers should always conceal their own attitudes第Ⅰ 卷Ⅰ.
