The number 1 cause of anxiety is the ever-increasing cost of housing and property, the survey reported. About 76 percent of office workers are over-worked and not entirely healthy, according to samples from 3 million health checks in 15 cities.Less than 3 percent of the respondents interviewed are completely healthy, said the White Paper on the Health of Chinese White-collar Workers, released on Sunday by the Chinese Medical Doctors' Association.The survey interviewed people aged between 26 and 45, with monthly incomes of between 5,000 yuan ($732) to 10,000 yuan. Many higher-income people between the ages of 35 and 50 are biologically 10 years older than their actual age, with declining health, the survey said.Buying property ranks as the most significant cause of pressure for 46 percent of those interviewed, followed by parents' health, difficulty in finding a spouse, and children's education.The increasing gap between income and housing prices is causing the most stress and some 85 percent of families cannot afford to buy a house, the survey said. The ratio of housing prices to family income should be three to six times, while in China the ratio this year is expected to reach 8.3, far beyond reasonable, the Economic Blue Paper published yesterday by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences reported. The survey said that the land supply system and developers' land stockpiles have also contributed to the out-of-reach property prices.Commercial property prices have gone up 5 to 10 percent, with a square metre costing between 4,935 to 5,280 yuan. From January to August of , developers invested 2,111 billion yuan in property, up 14.7 percent from the previous year. Revenue from the sale of commercial property was 2,346.3 billion yuan, up 69.9 percent from .Property prices are the talk of the town, and this topic reached a peak in as the Chinese television drama, Dwelling Narrowness, became a hit with many viewers across the country. The 35-episode series has touched a nerve with city dwellers who empathize with the characters in the drama, according to media reports. Caught in a debate between reality and morality, the audience could not help but connect with the distress and pressure experienced by the characters, caused by the cost of living in a city, according to television analysts.Most young college graduates and migrant workers who settle into jobs in big cities would prefer to buy an apartment rather than rent, according to media reports. However, rising housing prices make owning an apartment very difficult. Ownership creates a burden that costs parents' their entire savings or results in decades of mortgage loans.Wang Ke, a purchasing manager with a monthly salary of 10,000 yu'an, had to borrow money from her grandmother for the down payment for her apartment. With a monthly mortgage of 4,000 yuan, Wang said saving money is now virtually impossible. "Housing prices go up every day, though my salary doesn't," she said.Do the following statements agree with the information given in the passage and the picture? Write:Y (for YES) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage;N (for NO) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage;NG (for NOT GIVEN) if the information is" not given in the passage.61. The survey of stress on Chinese white-collar workers was co-conducted by the Beijing HealthProtection Association and the Chinese Medical Doctors' Association.62. Forty-six percent of those interviewed did occasional exercise and felt that property prices are themajor pressure.63. The ratio of housing prices to family income in China is lower than the usual standard. Fill in each blankwith no more than three words to complete the sentences according to the passage.64. Commercial property prices have increased by ______________ percent according to the survey.65. Wang Ke, who took part in the survey, bought her apartment by borrowing money from _________ forthe down payment and paying a monthly mortgage.Section C (10 marks)Lisa Tyler was weary after a long, hard day at the pottery factory where she works, but as she approached her home in the English city of Stoke-on-Trent, her heart lightened; soon she would be having a nice cup of tea, putting her feet up and watching Friends, her favorite TV series. But first, she needed to change out of her work clothes and pick up her three-year-old son from his grandmother's house nearby.As Lisa walked up her garden path, she noticed a light flashing on and off in an upstairs bedroom. A shiver went down her back. What if it was a burglar? Quietly, she crept round to the back of the house to see if there was any sign of a break-in. Sure enough, a window was open and someone's coat was hanging on the gatepost!Well, 26-year-old Lisa didn't fancy coming face to face with a burglar, so she ran to a neighbour's house and rang the police. As she sat waiting for the police to arrive, Lisa's curiosity got the better of her and she decided to go back and see what was going on. That's when she saw a leg coming out of the downstairs front window. It was a man climbing out. Lisa gasped in shock. The burglar was carrying her portable television!At this point, Lisa saw red. She didn't have many possessions and she'd saved long and hard to buy that set. Besides, nobody was going to stop her watching Friends."Oh no, you don't." she muttered under her breath, as fury swelled inside her. Without even stopping tothink, she tore across the garden and started shouting at the burglar, "Give me my TV -drop it now! "Ignoring her, the man fled across the garden, so Lisa threw herself at him and successfully rugby tackled him to the ground. The burglar struggled to escape, but Lisa hung on like the best kind of guard dog, despite being punched and kicked. As she looked up, she realized that she recognized the burglar's face. She was so surprised that she lost her grip and the burglar got away, leaving the TV behind in the garden.By the time the police and her father arrived, Lisa was in tears. "I can't believe you were so foolish, Lisa," scolded her father. "You could have been killed.""I know, but at least he didn't get my TV." she replied.Lisa later remembered the name of the burglar, who had been in the same year as her at school.He was later caught and jailed for 15 months after committing a burglary and assault. In May last year, Lisa was given a Certificate of Appreciation by Staffordshire police for her "outstanding courage and public action". In the future, however, she intends to leave household security to a new member of her family, Chan, who is a real guard dog.Answer the questions in no more than 10 words.66. What first led Lisa to think there was a burglar in her house?67. Why didn't Lisa wait in her neighbor's house until the police arrived?68. What does "Lisa saw red (in the 4th paragraph)" most probably mean?69. What did the burglar do when Lisa shouted at him?70. How did Lisa help to catch the burglar later?Section D (10 marks)Melting GlaciersSeveral glaciers in the Alps have already disappeared in as fewas 40 years. In the Patagonian ice fields of Argentina, someglaciers have receded one and one-half kilometers in the last 13years. In the Himalayan Mountains, glaciers are melting so fastthat runoff sometimes floods the surrounding areas. Their fateis a preview of the future of other glaciers on Earth.The shrinking of the world's glaciers will have massiveconsequences for communities that depend on ice melt for theirwater. In the short-term, these consequences mayappear beneficial. For example, extra water from glaciersmeans that hydroelectric dams will run at maximum power. Inthe long run, however, the melting of Earth's glaciers could becatastrophic. Today's extra hydroelectric power has been stolenfrom the future. Communities with ample power now may havenone after the glaciers have melted and have stopped fillingreservoirs. Likewise, water for irrigation, drinking,transportation, and nuclear power stations will slow to thelevels provided solely by rainfall. The loss of ice will increasesea levels worldwide.Temperature change and a lack of snow is causing the retreat of the glaciers. According to many scientists, our planet is getting warmer. In the Alps, for example, temperatures have risen an average of 1-1.5 degrees Celsius (1.8-3 degrees Fahrenheit) since 1850. During the same period, Alpine glaciers in Switzerland have lost about half of their volume. Likewise, temperatures have changed in the Tien Shan Mountains in southern Kazakhstan. Researchers there have discovered a small rise in temperature, 0.5 degrees Celsius, over the last 50 years and even this is enough to reduce glaciers dramatically over time.As temperatures have increased, precipitation has decreased. Glaciers no longer build up during snowy winter months which also contributes to their decrease in size over in the long run.The warming of our globe is often blamed on human activity, such as the burning of fossil fuels, especially in industrialized nations. Automobile emissions and industrial waste are increasing the quantity of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere, possibly causing increased temperatures. However, scientists have not definitively tied human activity to the current temperature rise.Some scientists argue that global warming may be a normal trend of the Earth's temperature violations. One theory argues that we are near the end of a so-called "Little Ice Age", and that the retreat of the glaciers is a natural result of this cycle. Whether natural or produced by humans, there is little hope for the immediate future of glaciers as we know them.Complete the summary below by choosing no more than three words from the passage.Part V Translation (20 marks)Section A (10 marks)Translate the underlined sentences in the following passage into Chinese. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.Top UK Universities Warn of Damage from Budget CutsThe heads of 20 of the UK's most prestigious universities have warned that government plans to cut funding will lead to a higher education "meltdown".In an article for the Guardian, the Russell Group said the gold standard education they now offer would be reduced to one of bronze or worse. (76) Universities are facing cuts of more than ￡900m over the next three years, and fear worse is still to come. The government said funding for frontline teaching was protected.The strongly worded article by the university heads is intended as a dire warning against forcing universities to bear the brunt of the need to slash public spending after the general election.It said: "(77) It has taken more than 800 years to create one of the world's greatest education systems and it looks like it will take just six months to bring it to its knees. Such huge cuts in university budgets would have a devastating effect not only on students and staff, but also on Britain's internationalcompetitiveness, economy and ability to recover from recession."The Russell Group, which includes Oxford and Cambridge universities as well as Warwick and Glasgow among others, said the upshot would be universities facing the closure of hundreds of courses, with fewer academic staff and bigger closes. (78) It said reports suggested that as many as 30 universities might not survive in their current form if even minimal funding cuts were introduced.The article also highlighted higher education spending in other countries. "(79) Nicolas Sarkozy has just announced an investment of 11 billion Euros in higher education in France, stating he wants 'the best universities in the world," it said. "Germany pumped a total of 18 billion Euros into promoting world-class research alongside university education, while Barack Obama ploughed an additional US$21 billion into federal science spending."(80) The article calls for ministers to consider reversing proposed cuts and for assurances that no further cuts will be imposed.Section B (10 marks)Translate the underlined sentences of the following passage into English.

That question has become a topic of debate among linguists, writers, and speakers of English. "Like" has undergone a remarkable versatility since the 1980s when it began to show up in new, unexpected places and during a broader range of activities. It's not just teenagers who are using "like" this way, either.Some linguists view "like" as a super-common hedge (掩饰话语) used to soften speech, express uncertainty, or clarify the intended meaning. Christopher Snyder, a linguist at Texas A&M University, puts it this way: "Under this view, you are seeking to leave an escape route in case your listener might disagree or ridicule what you are saying." Bruce Fraser, a sociolinguist at Boston University, adds that "like" can also serve to convey solidarity, especially when speakers fall back on it as a common conversational strategy.Despite its prevalence, not everyone is on board with using "like" as a hedge. Some style manuals and experienced writers discourage its frequent use as an oversimplification and a sign of laziness, especially in more formal writing genres. Furthermore, the use of "like" as a filler word is often controversial in public speech forums, such as interviews or speeches.21. According to some linguists, the word "like" is used mainly as a hedge to _______A) stress intentionsB) soften speechC) express certaintyD) criticize others22. According to the passage, who could possibly object to the use of "like" in speech?A) Teenagers.B) Experienced writers.C) Speakers of English.D) Linguists.23. According to Bruce Fraser, "like" indicates solidarity when _______A) it is used among teenagersB) it is overused by adultsC) speakers want to secure their meaningsD) speakers want to show agreement24. The word "hedge" in the passage most likely means_______A) insecurityB) limitationC) way outD) clarification25. The author suggests that using "like" in public speeches may be deemed _____A) informalB) formalC) controversialD) convincingPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Dyslexia is a common reading disorder that hinders the ability to read. It should be noted that dyslexia does not result from vision problems. People with dyslexia have trouble reading accurately and fluently. They may also have difficulty understanding what they read. Dyslexia is not related to intelligence, yet it often creates challenges for students in school. Learning disabilities such as dyslexia result from neurobiological differences in the brain, not differences in intelligence.It is estimated that one in ten people has dyslexia, with varying degrees of severity. While dyslexia is lifelong, individuals can learn to read and write by mastering a variety of learning methods. Early identification and treatment are essential for people with dyslexia to achieve success in school and later in life.Reading difficulties are often evident in early childhood, such as trouble learning nursery rhymes or playing word games. In school, children with dyslexia may struggle to spell, read aloud, or learn new words. As they grow older, students with dyslexia may have difficulty with more complex language skills such as grammar, understanding textbooks, and writing essays.26. According to the passage, dyslexia primarily affects a person's _____A) visionB) intelligenceC) reading abilityD) listening skill27. The passage suggests that _____ can help people with dyslexia overcome reading challenges.A) intensive exercisesB) vision trainingC) early identification and treatmentD) studying grammar28. It is pointed out in the passage that dyslexia _______A) is caused by brain injuriesB) is related to insufficient intelligenceC) results from neurobiological differencesD) can be cured through eye surgery29. Early signs of dyslexia often involve issues with _____A) mathematicsB) writingC) memorizationD) language30. According to the passage, students with dyslexia may find it hard to _____ as they grow older.A) play sportsB) do well in examsC) memorize poemsD) understand textbooksPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Office workers forced to sit for hours in a poorly ventilated room could soon have the solution to their problems solved through a new smart air conditioning system. Designed to fight the lag in concentration caused by stuffiness, rising temperatures, and sudden spikes in humidity, the system monitors and adjusts the environment without the need for human intervention.Developed by a team at the German Fraunhofer Research Group, one of the sensors in the system measures the rate of carbon dioxide in the air, a key indicator of poor ventilation. If the carbon dioxide levels become excessive, the air conditioning unit adjusts the airflow without human operators having to do anything.Ilias Tsagaris, head of the research program, commented on the extensive application of the system, saying, "Our feedback system can be used in any workplace, home, or vehicle where it alters the environment independently from human interference."In addition to controlling carbon dioxide levels, the smart system can adjust temperature and humidity according topre-set criteria. Ehsan Mohamed, one of the team members, mentioned, "Our objective in developing this system was to create a comfortable and productive environment for workers. The greatest advantage of our system is the degree of autonomy it offers, minimizing the need for environmental management."31. The smart air conditioning system is meant to address _____ in office settings.A) the lack of proper seatingB) temperature and ventilation issuesC) the shortage of office suppliesD) stress related to too much interaction32. The system operates _____ without human intervention.A) in silenceB) flawlesslyC) electricallyD) automatically33. According to the passage, the new system measures _____ to track poor ventilation.A) room temperatureB) carbon dioxide levelsC) humidity changesD) the presence of mold34. The smart system can help create a comfortable workplace by _____.A) responding to workers' preferencesB) maintaining a stable work environmentC) monitoring workers' levels of productivityD) reducing reliance on trained personnel35. Mohamed believes that the new system _____.A) relies on manual controlB) meets home cooling needsC) speeds up work performanceD) ensures environmental comfortPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Popular culture often portrays Western eating habits as unhealthy and fast-paced, emphasizing convenience and instant gratification over healthy choices and traditional cooking methods. While this portrayal is somewhat accurate, it fails to consider the diversity of Western diets and the growing interest in healthy eating that has emerged in recent years.A typical Western diet includes a variety of foods such as meat, dairy products, grains, fruits, and vegetables. Fast food is a significant part of many Westerners' diets, as it provides quick and easy meals for those with busy lifestyles. However, modern health campaigns encourage people to make more nutritiouschoices by consuming less processed food and more fruits and vegetables.The rise of organic supermarkets and health-conscious eateries reflects a shift in Western eating habits towards more sustainable and mindful choices. This trend is driven by concerns about environmental sustainability, animal welfare, and personal health. People are increasingly interested in knowing where their food comes from and how it is produced, leading to a greater demand for locally sourced, organic, and ethically sourced food products.Despite ongoing challenges in promoting healthy eating, Western attitudes towards food are changing as people become more aware of the impact of their dietary choices on their health and the environment. With the rise of organic and plant-based food options, healthy eating is becoming more accessible and appealing to a broader audience.36. According to the passage, Western eating habits are often portrayed as _____ in popular culture.A) slow-pacedB) traditionalC) unhealthyD) diverse37. The paragraph suggests fast food is popular among Westerners because it _____A) is nutritious and affordableB) is rich in vitamins and mineralsC) saves time and energyD) encourages healthy eating habits38. People are turning to organic supermarkets because they want to _____.A) support local farmersB) reduce their food expensesC) follow popular trendsD) make sustainable food choices39. The passage indicates people's growing interest in knowing _____.A) where to find cheap foodB) how to cook traditional dishesC) the nutritional content of their foodD) where food is sourced and produced40. The author suggests that the popularity of organic and plant-based foods _____.A) has made healthy eating less appealingB) represents a challenge in promoting healthy eatingC) responds to a growing demand for sustainable and mindful choicesD) has not affected Western attitudes towards foodPart III: Writing (30 points)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay. You should start your essay with a brief introduction that captures the relevance of the topic. You should then analyze the advantages and disadvantages of technological advancements in education. Consider the impact on students, teachers, administrators, and the overall learning environment.You should write at least 250 words but no more than 300 words.Sample Writing:With the rapid advancement of technology, its impact on education has been significant in recent years. On the one hand, technology has brought numerous benefits to the educational sector, enhancing the learning experience for students and providing more efficient tools for teachers and administrators. However, there are also drawbacks that need to be considered when evaluating the role of technology in education.One advantage of technological advancements in education is the increased accessibility to information. With the internet and digital resources, students can access a wealth of knowledge on various subjects anytime and anywhere. This has revolutionized the way students learn and research, making education more personalized and interactive. Additionally, technological tools such as online platforms and virtual classrooms have enabled teachers to create engaging lessons and collaborate with students across borders.On the other hand, the overreliance on technology in education can have negative consequences. For instance, the proliferation of digital devices in classrooms could lead to distractions and reduced attention spans among students.
