Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.

Joaquin Phoenix took home the best-actor Oscar on Sunday night for his role in “Joker.” In the following lengthy and wide-ranging speech, the actor, 45, tackled issues of equality and nature preservation.

I’m full of so much gratitude right now. And I do not feel elevated above any of my fellow nominees （被提名者）or anyone in this room (21) we share the same love, the love of film.

But I think the greatest gift it’s given me, and many of us in this room, (22) (be) the opportunity to use our voice for the voiceless. And this form of expression has given me the most extraordinary life. I don’t know what I’d be (23) it.

I’ve been thinking a lot about some of the (24) (distress) issues that we are facing collectively. I think at times we're made (25) (feel), that we champion different causes. But for me, I see commonality. I think, (26) we're talking about gender inequality or racism or animal rights, we’re talking about the fight against injustice. We’re talking about the fight against the belief that one nation, one race, or one gender or one species has the right to dominate, control and exploit (27) without punishment.

I think that we’ve become very disconnected from the natural world, and (28)

we’re guilty of is a self-centered world view that we're the center of the universe.

And I think we fear the idea of personal change because we think that we have to sacrifice something, but human beings, at our best, are so inventive and creative and original. And I think that when we use love and compassion as our guiding principles, we can create, and implement systems of change (29) are beneficial to all emotional beings and to the environment.

Now, I have been, I have been a villain in my life. I’ve been selfish. I’ve been cruel a t times, hard to work with, and I’m grateful that I (30) (give) a second chance because of the many of you in this room.

Section B（10%）

Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Art occurs in many forms: music, dance, painting, architecture, sculpture, cinema, and literature, among others. Works of art can make people feel moved, even to the 31 of tears. In the case of Stendhal syndrome, however, this feeling is so 32 that a person can experience a rapid heartbeat, dizziness, sweating, or fainting. It may even require hospitalization. In the Italian city of Florence, numerous visitors viewing the 33 Renaissance art there have

experienced this and have required medical 34 . Though not professionally recognized, this condition— now 35 to as Stendhal syndrome —does exist.

While great art is found in every civilization, Florence has been especially 36 . A small city with a historical center, it is internationally admired for its amazing _ 37 of Renaissance art. Florence in the 15th and 16th centuries attracted the talent of many geniuses: artists, scientists, and authors were welcomed here. Some of the greatest Western works of art can be found in Florence, such as the statue of David by Michelangelo, The Birth of Venus by Botticelli, and the frescoes（壁画）by Giotto in the Basilica of Santa Croce. In addition, Leonardo da Vinci left works here. Galileo Galilei and Niccolo Machiavelli are buried here.

The syndrome is named after Stendhal, a French author who visited Florence in 1817. He described his experience of being fascinated by the historic and artistic power of the city in one of

his books. Though the term Stendhal syndrome was not 38 until 1979 by Italian psychiatrist Graziella Magherini, the illness had already had a long history. Patients usually recover within days of their attacks without any 39 drug other than rest and quiet. For them,

the 40 of viewing the power and beauty of Florence is a brief trip to a hospital.

III.Reading Comprehension（45%）

Section A（15%）

Directions: For each blank in the following passage 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.

If you examine the birth certificate of every soccer per in the last World Cup tournament, you

will most likely find the excellent players were born in the earlier months of the year. If you then examine the European national youth teams that feed the World Cup, you will find this phenomenon even more 41 .

What might account for this strange phenomenon? Some guess a certain astrological sign (星

座) 42 superior soccer skills; others maintain that winter-born babies have higher oxygen capacity, which increases soccer stamina (耐力). But Anderson Ericsson, a 58-year-old professor

who is called the expert on experts, believes in neither. His first experiment, nearly 30 years ago, involved 43 training a person to hear and repeat a random series of numbers. “With the fi rst subject, after 20 hours of training, his digital span rose to 20”, Ericsson recalls, “and after about

200 hours of training he could repeat up to 80 numbers.”

This success, coupled with later research showing memory itself is not 44 determined,

led Ericsson to conclude that the act of memorizing is a cognitive exercise, which means whatever inborn differences two people may exhibit in their abilities to memorize, those differences are

45 by how well each person encodes the information. And the best way to learn how to encode information meaningfully, Ericsson determined, was a process known as 46 practice.

It involves more than simply repeating a task —playing a C-minor scale 100 times, 47 , or

hitting tennis serves until your shoulder pops out of its socket. 48 , it involves stepping outside your comfort zone, setting specific and well-defined goals, focusing on 49 areas of expertise, obtaining immediate feedback from professionals and concentrating as much on technique as on outcome.

Ericsson and his colleagues have thus taken to studying high achievers in a wide range of

50 , including soccer, golf, chess, piano playing and darts. They gather all the data they can

and make a rather shocking statement: the trait we commonly call talent is highly 51 . And yes, expert performers are nearly always made.

Ericsson’s formula seems appealing to many tiger parents: “practice makes perfect”is naturally 52 to genetic determination. By 53 innate ability as insignificant, many are confident they can make a concert-level pianist or an Olympic figure skater of their kids as long as they push them hard enough. Ericsson, 54 , believes what parents should learn from the science of expertise is not the effect of logging thousands of hours, but how to get kids to 55 the importance and challenge of effective practice.

41. A. understandable B. misleading C. appealing D. noticeable

42. A. promises B. improves C. compromises D. masters

43. A. numbers B. subjects C. memory D. practice

44. A. physically B. genetically C. fundamentally D. psychologically

45. A. overshadowed B. demonstrated C. strengthened D. produced

46. A. enormous B. deliberate C. desperate D. persistent

47. A. on average B. more importantly C. for instance D. in particular

48. A. Besides B. Nevertheless C. Therefore D. Rather

49. A. various B. comprehensive C. targeted D. minor

50. A. pursuits B. occupations C. performances D. assumptions

51. A. underestimated B. overrated C. flexible D. demanding

52. A. equal B. inferior C. preferable D. beneficial

53. A. dismissing B. lacking C. recognizing D. highlighting

54. A. likewise B. therefore C. besides D. however

55. A. study B. practice C. reflect D. embrace

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the

one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

A

Last July, Angela Peters, 36, rolled her wheelchair into a nail salon located at the Walmart

shopping center in Burton, Michigan, with the idea of painting her nails. But Peters, who has cerebral palsy（脑瘫）, was turned away. The salon (which is not owned by Walmart), she says, told her that they were afraid it would be too difficult to properly do the job given that her hands shook. What was meant to be a day of beauty bliss for Peters was now a disappointment.

Watching the interaction from a few feet away was a Walmart cashier about to go on her break. Ebony Harris, 40, recognized Peters as a Walmart regular. Now what she recognized in Peters was a kindred spirit. “She’s just like you, me, my daughter, anybody,” Harr is told ABC News, “She wants to look pretty. So why can’t she?”

Harris approached Peters. “Do you want me to do your nails?” she asked. A smile spread across Peters’ face. “Yeah!” Having found a table for two, Harris gently took Peter’s hand into hers and carefully began painting her nails.

“I was a little nervous and was shaking because I didn’t want to mess her nails up,” Harris admitted. “I told her she’s a blessing to anybody, not just me. She makes me look at life and appreciate it much more than I ha ve.”

Watching it all with amazement and admiration was Subway employee Tasia Smith. What struck her most was the ease and gentleness displayed by Harris as she painted Peters’ nails, all the while chatting as if they were old friends. Smith was so taken by the scene that she wrote about it on Facebook. “They were so patient with her,” she wrote. “Thanks to the Walmart worker for making this beautiful girl’s day!”

Peters, who runs a poetry website, harbors no bitterness toward the nail salon that turned her away. “When people do us wrong, we must forgive,” Peters wrote on Facebook. “I just want to educate people that those with different challenges, like being in a wheelchair, can have our own business and get our nails done like anyone else.”

56.Why was Peters declined when she wanted to have her nails painted?

A.She insisted on sitting in a wheelchair.

B.She was not a regular customer of the salon.

C.Her hands shook involuntarily due to disability.

D.There was no need for her to have nails painted.

57.It can be inferred from “a kindred spirit” in Paragraph 2 that .

A.Peters was in high spirits just like others around her.

B.Peters was approached with special attention and care.

C.Peters was more tolerant of the denial than normal people.

D.Peters was no different from the people around her.

58.In Paragraph 4, Harris referred to Angela Peters as “a blessing” because.

A.Peters deserved to be happy and be treated kindly.

B.Harris was reminded why she should be grateful.

C.Harris felt obliged to offer her a hand on a voluntary basis

D.Peters got her nails done despite the previous rejection.

59.What may well be Angela Peters’ guiding principle in life?

A.Beauty is about having a pretty mind, a pretty soul, as well as pretty poetry.

B.Forgive others who have wronged us, and we are likely to enjoy our life more.

C.Being grateful is a way to sing for our life which comes just from our love and hope.

D.Life is a mirror and will reflect back to the thinker what he thinks into it.

Financial regulations in Britain have imposed a rather unusual rule on the bosses of big banks. Starting next year, any guaranteed bonus of top executives could be delayed 10 years if their banks are under investigation for wrongdoing. The main purpose of this “clawback” rule is to hold bankers responsible for harmful risk-taking and to restore public trust in financial institution. Yet officials also hope for a much larger benefit: more long-term decision-making not only by banks but also by all corporations, to build a stronger economy for future generations.

“Short-termism” or the desire for quick profits, has worsened in publicly traded companies,

says the Bank of England’s top economist, Andrew Haldane. He quotes a giant of classical economies, Alfred Marshall, in describing this financial impatience as acting like “Children who pick the strawberries out of their pudding to eat them at once” rather than putting them aside to be eaten last.

The average time for holding a stock in both the United States and Britain, he notes, has dropped from seven years to seven months in recent decades. Transient(短期的) investors, who demand high quarterly profits from companies, can hold back a firm’s efforts to invest in long-term research or to build up customer loyalty. This has been called “quarterly capitalism”.

In addition, new digital technologies have allowed more rapid trading of equities( 股票), quicker use of information, and thus shortens attention spans in financial markets. “There seems to be an advantage of short-term thinking at the expense of long-term investing,” said Commissioner Daniel Gallagher of the US Securities and Exchange Commission in speech this week.

In the US, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has pushed most public companies to delay performance bonuses for senior executives by about a year, slightly helping reduce “short-termism.” In its latest survey of CEO pay, The Wall Street Journal finds that “a substantial part” of executive pay is now tied to performance.

Much more could be done to encourage “long-termism,” such as changes in the tax code and quicker disclosure(披露) of stock acquisitions. In France, shareholders who hold onto a company investment for at least two years can sometimes earn more voting rights in a company.

Within companies, the right compensation design can provide motivation for executives to think beyond their own time at the company and on behalf of all shareholders. Britain’s new rule is a reminder to bankers that society has an interest in their performance, not just for the short term but for the long term.

63.According to Paragraph 1, one reason for imposing the new rule is the .

A.enhance banker’s sense of responsibility

B.help corporations achieve larger profits

C.build a new system of financial regulation

D.guarantee the bonuses of top executives

64.It is argued that the influence of transient investment on public companies can be .

A.indirect

B. negative

C. favorable

D. temporary

65.The US and France examples in paragraphs 5 and 6 are used to illustrate .

A.the obstacles to preventing “short-termism”.

B.the significance of long-term thinking.

C.the approaches to promoting “long-termism”

D.the popularity of short-term thinking.

66.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A.Failure of Quarterly Capitalism

B.Patience as a Corporate Virtue

C.Decisiveness Required of Top Executives

D.Frustration of Risk-taking Bankers

Section C（8%）

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

A.It may be impersonal.

B.If your eLearning content is not built to make the most of the medium it will easily become

disengaging.

C.This sometimes makes learners feel they lack support and reassurance.

D.It may harm your mental health.

E.Online learning requires some IT literacy, yet not every one of your learners has much experience of computers.

F.This works for many learners as well, as some people prefer their progress to be closely monitored in order to perform.

Possible Limitations of Online Learning

If eLearning, however, is not based on solid instructional design theories and models it may lead to the following limitations:

1. It may be a "solo" act.

It is true that, although online learning might be convenient and flexible, it is also a solo act. It will not be easy for all of your learners to feel comfortable when participating in online discussions and engaging more actively with their online instructors or their virtual classmates.

Some people absolutely need personal contact with their educators or trainers in order to learn successfully. Furthermore, some types of learning problems may be difficult to be addressed online, and some questions can be lost in a sea of requests and inquiries. 67

2. 68

However hard we try to fully transfer human communication to online platforms, however natural it seems to form relationships behind computer screens, a virtual environment is just not human. Nothing can replace human contact. Besides, using a computer or a tablet all the time can cause poor vision, strain injuries, and other physical problems. Consider sending guidelines about right sitting posture, desk height, etc. along with your eLearning course; it might be very useful to your audience.

3.It requires self-discipline.

If your eLearning audience lacks self-discipline, it is unlikely that they will be motivated to self study. Traditional learning and training have the benefit of easily tracking both progress and falling behind. 69

4.Possible lack of control.

However carefully you design your eLearning course, there is no guarantee that your messages will get across. You offer your learners control over their eLearning experience, but are they going to use it effectively? There is always the risk of your learners just going through the material without paying any attention. 70 Unless you know exactly what you’re doing with new technologies, it is very likely that you overwhelm or distract your audience.

Creating effective online learning courses requires knowledge, time, experience, commitment, great communication skills, and a true passion for learning. If you’ve got al l that, then be sure that the advantages of your online training outweigh its limitations.

IV.Summary Writing（10%）

Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

Would a person born blind, who has learned to distinguish objects by touch, be able to recognize them purely by sight if he regained the ability to see? The question, known as Molyneux’s problem, is about whether the human mind has a built-in concept of shapes that is so innate( 天生的) that such a blind person could immediately recognize an object with restored vision. The alternative is that the concepts of shapes are not innate but have to be learned by exploring an object through sight, touch and other senses.

After their attempt to test it in bind children failed, Lars Chittka of Queen Mary University of London and his colleagues have taken another attempt at finding an answer, this time using another species. To test whether bumblebees can form an internal representation of objects, they first trained the insects to distinguish globes from cubes using a sugar reward. The bees were

trained in the light, where they could see but not touch the objects. Then they were tested in the dark, where they could touch but not see the globes or cubes. The researchers found that the bumblebees spent more time in contact with the shape they had been trained to associate with the sugar reward, even though they had to rely on touch rather than sight to distinguish the objects.

The researchers also did the reverse test with untrained bumblebees, first teaching them with rewards in the dark and then testing them in the light. Again, the bees were able to recognize the shape associated with the sugar reward, though they had to rely on sight rather than touch in the test. In short, bees have solved Molyneux's problem because the fact suggests that they can picture object features and access them through sight or touch.

However, some experts express their warnings. Jonathan Birch, a philosopher of science, cautions that the bees may have had prior experience associating visual and tactile( 触觉的) information about straight edges and curved surfaces in the context of their nests, so it is not possible to eliminate the possibility that some of the cross-sensory concept is learned rather than innate.
