2013年同等学力申硕英语真题
我们格外重视2016同等学力统考。
原因一，2016是同等学力30分漏洞的最后一年。
自从有同等学力以来，考试大纲都是每4年一改，2013/2014/2015过去了，就只有2016了。
原因二，由于在职类中，同等学力的‘姐妹篇’GCT于2016并入了12月底的国家研究生统招考试，故2016的同等学力虽侥幸未并入其中，毋庸置疑难度肯定会同比加大。
原因三，2017同等学力的国家政策尚未明朗，如果届时同等学力也像GCT一样那就惨了。
据此，不管自身现有基础如何当然是越早备考越保险，切不可以胆试运，心存侥幸。
一句话，试不起，也赌不起。
因此，市面各培训机构学生购买各种辅导课程的数据显示，今年我们同等学力备考的学生也明显较往年早3-5个月不等。
望备战2016同等学力统考的同学们，即日起就投入到2016同等学力备考当中，但是切不可盲目选择辅导课程，除了要关注机构历年统考过关实情外(而非无法考实的过关率)，还须充分试听相应辅导课程。
你比如说英语科目，因为大家毕竟多年不接触英语了，各方面基础已忘乎殆尽，如果辅导课程不能帮助大家迅速获补基础，巧妙而直接的解决‘纯拼词汇语法题海式的传统备考方案’所带来的各种痛点，确实是很难确保帮助大家一次通关。

Choose the best answer and markyour answer on the Answer SheetPassage OneFive or six years ago, I attended a lecture on the science of attention. A philosopher who conducts research in the medical school was talking about attention blindness, the basic feature of the human brain that, when we concentrate intensely on one task, causes us to miss just about everything else. Because we can’t see what we can’t see, our le cturer was determined to catch us in the act. He had us watch a video of six people tossing basketballs back and forth, three in white shirts and three in black, and our task was to keep track only of the tosses among the people in white. The tape rolled, and everyone began counting.Everyone except me, I’m dyslexic (有阅读障碍的），and the moment I saw that grainy tape with the confusing basketball tossers, I knew I wouldn’t be able to keep track of their movements, so I let my mind wander. My curiosity was aroused, though, when about 30 seconds into the tape, a gorilla (大猩猩)came in among the players. She (we later learned a female student was in the gorilla suit) stared at the camera, thumped her chest, and then strode away while they continued passing the balls.When the tape stopped, the philosopher asked how many people had counted at least a dozen basketball tosses. Hands went up all over. He then asked who had counted 13, 14, and congratulated those who’d scored the perfect 15, Then he asked, “And who saw the gorilla?”I raised my hand and was surprised to discover I was the only person at my table and one of only three or four in the large room to do so. He'd set us up，trapping us in our own attention blindness. Yes, there had been a trick, but he wasn’t the o ne who had played it on us. By concentrating so hard on counting, we had managed to miss the gorilla in the midst.21. This passage describes_______.A. a basketball matchB. an experimentC. a philosopherD. a gorilla22. “Attention blindness” refers to _______.A. the fact that one can’t see what one can’t seeB. seeing one thing while missing all elseC. keeping track of just about everythingD. the condition of being blind to details23. “Catch us in the act” (Para. 1) is closest in meaning to “find us_______.”A. doing something improperB. sleeping during the lectureC. counting the basketball lossesD. failing to notice something within sight24. How many people in the room saw the gorilla in the video?A. 1.B. 3 or 4.C. 13 or 14.D. 15.25. Whom does “he” (last paragraph) refer to?A. The author.B. The gorilla.C. The lecturer.D. The student.Passage TwoThere are few sadder sights than a pile of fan letters, lovingly decorated with hand drawings，suffering in a bin. The sparkly envelopes were addressed to Taylor Swift, a pop star much beloved by teenage and pre-teen girls.“Dear Taylor,” read one discarded message, “I love you so much!! You’re the best!! And you're really beautiful and cute!! I’m really enjoying your songs,”This, along with hundreds of other similar letters sent from around the world, was discovered in a Nashville recycling disposal unit by a local woman. Swifts management was quick to reassure her admirer that they had been thrown out accidentally. The response may come as a disappointment to any devotee who imagines, as they compose their letters, that Swift makes time lo view each one personally.Dealing with piles of fan mail is, however, an administrative burden for most celebrities. While some celebrities do like to go through their mail personally, the majority simply do not have time. But the fate of their correspondence is something most committed fans will not wish, to dwell on, says Lynn Zubernis，an expert in the psychology of fandom at West Chester University.“There’s this little bit of every fan that thinks theirs will be the one that stands out—it's not an expectation, but a hope that theirs will be seen by the celebr ity.”While the relationship between the fan and the celebrity may exist only in the mind of the former, it stems from a deeply-rooted human need for community and belonging, Zubernis believes. As a result, even receiving a mass-produced letter of acknowledgement and a photo stamped with a reproduced signature can be a powerful experience.“People have a tremendous need to connect with the person they are idolizing (偶像化),” she says. “They can’t ring them up and say, ’Can we have coffee?’ It’s not about the autograph (签名) ,It’s about the moment of connection.”26. Which of the following statements is true?A. The letters in the bin were exaggerating.B. Some letters to Swift were thrown away unread.C. A woman discovered the letters and discarded them.D. Poorly decorated letters were left unread.27. Swift’s management claimed that_______.A. Swift had read each one of the lettersB. fans could trust them with their lettersC. they were quick in response to the incidentD. they didn’t intend to throw away t he letters28. Most celebrities_______A. are too busy to read fan mailB. are afraid of receiving fan mailC. try their best to read fan mail themselvesD. care about the fate of fan mail29. According to Zubernis, fans want their letters to be read because they _______.A. hope to show their hand drawingsB. want the celebrities to see their talentC. desire to get connected with the starsD. dream of getting a photo of the stars30. Which of the following will fans cherish the most?A. The feeling of being related to their stars.B. The sense of being similar to their stars.C. The time spent with their stars.D. The autograph of their stars.Passage ThreeFacelift (紧肤术）followed by a week on a beach in Thailand? Hip surgery with a side of shopping in Si ngapore? Over the last 10 years, Asia’s rise on the medical tourism scene has been quick. Eastern nations dominate the global scene. Now Bali wants a slice of the action.The Indonesian island recently opened its first facility specifically targeting medical tourists with packages and services, Bali International Medical Centre (BIMC) Nusa Dua. BIMC already has an international hospital in Kuta, which opened in 1998.The new internationally managed facility offers surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures and dental care.Unlike most of the region’s hospitals, BIMC is designed to feel more like a spa or resort (度假村）than a medical facility.The 50-bed hospital has a 24-hour medical emergency entrance and hotel-like lobby at the front of the building serv icing the hospital’s medical, and dental centers.If you’re a celebrity who doesn’t want everyone to know you’re here for a bit of lipo (吸脂术），no worries. There's a private entrance that leads to the CosMedic Centro, which offers views of a golf course.BIMC has even teamed up with the nearby Courtyard by Marriott Bali, which provides specific after-care services like tailor-made meals and wellness programs for patients.Latest technology and cool interiors are a start, but breaking into a regional industry that already has some of the world’s top international hospitals will be tough, says Josef Woodman, CEO of U.S.-based medical travel consumer guide Patients Beyond Borders (PBB).“As a newcomer, Bali faces stiff competition from nearby international healt hcare providers. To compete，Bali will need to demonstrate a quality level of care and promote its services to the region and the world. On the positive side, Bali is blessed as one of the region's safest，most popular tourist destinations, with a built-in p otential to attract medical travelers.”The Indonesian island couldn’t have picked a better time to get into the game, says PBB. “The world population is aging and becoming wealthier at rates that surpass the availability of quality healthcare resources,” says the company's research.31. What does "medical tourism” (Para. 1) probably mean?A. Treating a disease during a trip.B. Attracting patients with package tours.C. Cosmetic treatment and a tour in one：D. Turning hospitals into tourist attractions.32. How does BIMC differ from regular hospitals?A. It offers cosmetic surgery.B. It has better environment and services.C. It accepts international patients.D. It has more beds and longer service hours.33. BIMC wishes to attract celebrities with its_______.A. privacy measuresB. first-class designC. free golf courseD. tailor-made meals34. According to Woodman, BIMC_______.A. threatens its regional competitorsB. will soon take the load in the industryC. needs further improvementD. faces both challenges and opportunities35. What can be concluded from the last paragraph?A. The population is developing faster than medical resources.B. Healthcare is hardly available for the aging population.C. The world is in need of more quality medical care.D. The world population is becoming older and richer.Passage FourFor many of us，asking for help is a difficult concept. We may feel as if we are admitting a weakness that the world would not have known about，had we not asked for help.Ironica lly, it’s been my experience that people who are able to deliver well-positioned requests for help are seen as very strong individuals. When they demonstrate the humility (谦卑）to ask for help, they earn the respect of others. People who receive a heartfelt request for help are usually honored by the request. In turn, we are strengthened by the very help that is provided.One of my clients (we’11 call her Kira) recently made a shift in how she was interacting with her boss. When asked to prepare presentations, she assumed that she was expected to go away, develop the content, deliver it at the required meeting and then wait for feedback from her boss. Her boss was highly regarded for the impact of his presentations, while Kira often felt that her presentations were lacking. When she took a hard look at how this approach was working for her, Kira recognized that she had not yet made use of her boss’s support. She could learn far moreabout creating attractive presentations by walking through a draft with her boss-focusing on the content plus her delivery----and obtaining feedback earlier in the process rather than at the back end. So she made the request for his support.The outcome? Her boss was delighted to coach Kira and was enthusiastic about the opportunity to put into use his own strength by teaching presentation skills more effectively to her. By taking the time to work together on preparation for a number of Kira’s key presentations, she benefited from her boss's thought process and was able to distinguish the critical components to enhance her own presentations. Kira’s presentations now have punch!Some of us are uncomfortable asking for help because we believe that our request places burdens on the other person. Ironically, we may be missing an opportunity to show others how we value and respect them. People who know you and think well of you are often highly motivated to help. Furthermore, the more specific you can be about what you need from them, the easier it is for them, to assist you.36. Many people are unwilling to ask for help because they _______.A. are confident of themselvesB. do not trust other peopleC. arc ashamed of doing soD. do not think it necessary37. Which of the following may the author agree with?A. Asking for help means admitting weaknesses.B. Helping others is helping oneselfC. Well-positioned: requests for help are welcomed.D. Weak people often need more help.38. Kira’s request for help_____.A. turned out rewardingB. was turned downC. led to her promotionD. benefited her boss in return39. “Kira’s presentations now have punch” means her presentations are_____.A. forcefulB. controversialC. well receivedD. highly motivating40. The purpose of the passage is to_____.A. illustrate how to ask for helpB. show the importance of mutual helpC. call for attention to others’ requestsD. encourage people to ask for kelpSection BDirections: In t his section, you are required to read one quoted blog and t he comments on it.The biog and com me n t s arc followed by questions or unfinished statements, each w ithf our suggested answer s A,B, C and D. Choose the best answer and mark youranswer on th e Answer Sheet.A fascinating new study reveals that Americans are more likely to call their children “in t elligent,” while European parents focus o n happiness a n d balance.Here’s what one p ar ent had to say about the in te llig e n ce of her 3-year-old, w hi ch was app arent t o her fro m the very first moments of her life:“I have t his vivi d memory, w hen s h e was bo rn, of the m t aking her t o cl e an her off... And she was looking all around... She was alert from the very fi rst second... I t ook her out when shew a s six weeks old t o a shopping mall to have her picture taken people would stop me and sa y,“What an alert baby.” One guy s t opped me and said, “Lady, she was an in telligent b a by.”Not only are Americans far mor e likely to focus on the ir children’s intelligence and cognitive skill s, they ar e also far less likely to describe them as “happy” or “easy” children to parent.T he U.S.’s unhealthy i n te rest in cognitive develop ment in t he early years overlooks so much else,” the researchers told us.Co m m ent 1:Probably indicates more abou t differences in cultural attitudes tow ards hu mi lity and boasting than about parenting styles. Here in the Netherlands if someone ca ll ed their child “intelligent” I’d be ro lling my eyes, bo th because it’s probably biased and overstated and because it’s jus t a rotten thing to draw attention to;as if it’s all about whose c hild is “Better”. Life isn’t tha t much of a damn contest to us.Co m men t 2：Agreed! That woul d apply in Sw ede n t oo. Par en ting is more focused on the child’s well-being than social comp eti tion (there may be pressure s h ere too, but it is not socially acceptable to express those things).Comment 3:I agree and I live in the U.S. Parent’s opinions of their children’s intellect ar e definitel y biased and overstated. It i s the mo st annoying thing to listen to. Being “advanced” at a young age has little if anything to do with their ability to learn as they get older a nd EVERY child is a genius if you give them a chance and an ear to l isten to them. The ha ppier the kid is, the smarter they will be. H ap py and healthy is key.41. The passage is mainly co n ce rne d with cultural differences in _____.A. bringing up one’s childrenB. describing one’s ch ildrenC.so cial contestsD. choosing a place to live in42. T he word “alert” (Para. 3) is closest in meaning to“_____.”A. intel lige n tB. easy-goingC. quick at n oticing thingsD. happy43. According t o C o mmen t 1, in the Netherlands, calling on e’s own c hild“i n te lligent”i s_____.A. b oastin gB. acceptableC. encouragingD. reasonable44. What nationality is the writer o f Co m men t 2?A. Du tch.B. American.C. Swedish.D. French.45. All of the following are true of Comment 3 EXCEPT that _____.A. it agrees with all the other commentsB. being happy and healthy is importantC. being intelligent at a young age makes no senseD. childr en’s intellect varies from person to personPart IV Cloze (10 points)Directions: In this part, there is a passage with ten blan ks.

But what do you do with a bike after you outgrow it? Nicole Basil, 12, has a terrific answer to this question. When she was 8 years old, she 46 Pedal Power. It is a charity that collects bikes that kids have out grown and donates them to Chicago public schools.Since 2008, Nicole has collected and donated more than 1,000 bikes. 47 the bicycles, Pedal Power supplied riders with 400 helmets (头盔) last year. “It is important to ride 48 on a bike, and helmets are a big part of that,”Nicole says. The Wilmette Bicycle & Sport Shop helps t o 49 that all donated bikes are safe to ride. Each bike receives a five-minute 50 by the shop’s employees.The bikes are given to students who have good grades and perfect attendance. Nicole says: “Some kids aren’t as lucky as others, 51 they still do well in school. I think they should be 52 for that.” Nicole has received e-mails and phone calls from parents and teachers that say test 53 are improving.“Bikes can take you far,” s h e says. “Good grades can take you even 54.”Barton Dassinger is the principal of Cesar E.

1、2021年作文真题Part VII Writing(15points)Directions:Write an essay into in no less than150words on the topic:Why machine translation can/can not fully replace human translators?You should write according to the hints given below. Write your essay on the answer sheet.Machines are replacing in different areas of the work force.The technology of machine translation is also getting better with time.What is your opinion about this issue?Think of the issue in terms of speed,accuracy and performance.（立场选择型）Why Machine Translation Can Not Fully Replace Human Translators?When asked about one of the hottest issues today,many people say that the technology of machine or AI are replacing in different areas of the work force,such as translation.Many translators are afraid that they will soon lose their job.But other people hold optimistic views: they regard it as a natural result of the technological development and believe it will be only a tool to human translator.There is probably some truth in both argument,but I think the machine translation can not fully replace human translators.Although in general,a machine works faster than a human translator,it can’t reach the same effect of human translator.On one hand,machine translation may,to some degree,contribute to some language mistakes.Just as Bill Gates,the founder of Microsoft,once said,“modern technology is a good servant and a bad master.”On the other hand, language has human’s mood/emotion but machine does not,so the performance of machine translation is hard to get human’s feeling and stifle the creativity of language.In short,machine translation is a poor substitute for human translators.It is advisable that we deepen our understanding of the relationship between modern technology and human power and achieve the machine-human balance.Only in this way can we explore and reach human’s full potential.2、2020年作文真题：Part VII Writing(15points)As the coronavirus(COVID-19)pandemic seems to be here to stay,we perhaps have to choose online instruction sometimes.The mode of of instruction and learning may have its advantages,but...（利弊分析型）My View on Online InstructionWhen asked about one of the most common phenomena of modern learning style,especially in this period of COVID-19,many people say that online instruction has become the most proper daily activity among them.But other people hold negative views:they regard it as an ineffective/inefficient behavior and believe it is an unreliable way to learn anything.There is probably some truth in both argument/statement,but I believe online instruction is an effective way to improve everyone’s learning efficiency.Just as Yu Minhong,the founder of New-Oriented,once said,“modern education without the Internet is like sailing without a compass.”On one hand,there is no doubt in saying that a solid grasp of modern teaching technology/skill can,to a large degree,save a person’s energy and time.People can study almost every subject without going into a classroom in person and learn anything anytime and anywhere. On the other hand,online education will explore and reach students’full potential of teaching themselves,which gives an added inventive to develop their positive attitude to learning.Above all,it is strongly recommended that the government spare no effort to deepen our understanding of modern education and commit more money to5G network building.Only by doing so can we improve our learning efficiency and make greater progress/achievements.3、2019年作文真题：Part VII Writing(15points)Directions:Write a composition in no less than150words on the topic:Ways to Live a Simpler Life in a Modern World.You could write according to the clues given below.Write your composition on the Answer Sheet.说明：现代生活过于繁复，各种琐事耗费精力和时间，人们疲于应付，列举几种你认为可以从简生活，重塑人生的方式。

statements,each with four suggested answer A,B,C and D .Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneFive or six years ago,I attended a lecture on the science of attention.A philosopher who conducts research in the medical school was talking about attention blindness,the basic feature of the human brain that,when we concentrate intensely on one task,causes us to miss just about everything else.Because we can’t see what we can’t see,our lecturer was determined to catch us in the act.He had us watch a video of six people tossing basketballs back and forth ,three in which shirts and three in black,and our lask was to keep track only of the tosses among the people in which.The tape rolled,and everyone began counting.Everyone except me.I’m dyslexic,and the moment I saw that grainy tape with the confusing bas ketball tossers,I knew I wouldn’t be able to keep track of their movements,so I let my mind wander.My curiosity was aroused,though,when about 30 seconds into the tape,a gorilla came in among the players.She(we later learned a female student was in the gorilla suit) stared at the camera,thumped her chest,and then strode away while they continued passing the balls.When the tape stopped,the philosopher asked how many people had counted at least a dozen basketball tosses.Hands went up all over.He then asked wh o had counted13,14,and congratulated those who’d scored the perfect15.Then he asked,“And who saw the gorilla?”I raised my hand and was surprised to discover I was the only person at my table and one of only three or four in the large room to do so .He’d set us up,Itapping us in our own attention blindness.Yes,there had been a trick ,but he wasn’t the one who had played it on us.By concentrating so hard on counting,we had managed to miss the gorilla in the midst.21.This passage describesA.a basketball matchB. An experimentC.a philosopherD.a gorilla22.“Attention blindness”refers toA.the fact that one can’t see what one can’t seeB.Seeing one thing while missing all elseC.Keeping track of just about everyingD.The condition of being blind to details23.“Catch us in the act”(Para.1)is closest in meaning to“find us ”A.doing something improperB.sleeping during the lectureC.counting the basketball tossesD.failing to notice something within sight24.How many people in the room saw the gorilla in the video?A.1B.3or 4C.13or 14D.1525.Whom does “he ”(last paragraph)refer to ?A.The authorB.The gorillaC.The lecturerD.The studentPassage TwoThere are few sadder sights than 8 pile of fan letters ,lovingly decorated with hand drawings,suffering in a bin,The sparkly envelopes were addressed to Taylor Swift,a pop star much beloved by teenage and pre-teen girls.“Dear Taylor,”read one discarded message ,”I love you so much !!You are the best!!And you are really beautiful and cute !! I’m really enjoying your songs.”This along with hundreds of other similor letters sent from around the world,was discovered in a Nashville recycling disposal unit by a local woman,Swift’s management was quick to reassure her admitery that they had been thouwn out accidentally . The response may come as a disappointment to any devotee who imagines,as they compose their letters ,that Swift makes time to view each one personally .Dealing with piles of lars mail is ,however,an administrative burden for most celebrities.While some celebrities do like to go through their mail personally ,the majority simply do not have time .But the fate of their correspondence is something most commitred fans will not wish and well on ,says Lynn Zubermis ,an expect in the psychology of London at West Chester University.“There’s this little bit of every fan that thinks their will be the one that stands but---it’s not an expectation ,but a hope that theirs will be seen by the celebrity.”While the relationship between the fan and the celebrity may exist only in the mind of the farmer,it’s stems from a sleeply-rooted human next for community and belonging,Zucrms believes.As a result ,even receiving,a mass-producexl letter of acknowledgement and a photo stumped with a reproduced signature can be a power experietice .“People have a tremendous need to connect with the person they are idolising ( 偶像化)”she says .“They can’t them up and say,”Can we have coffee?”It’s not about the autograph( 签名）.It’s about the moment of conn ection .”26.which of the following statements is true ?A.The letters in the bin were exaggeratingB.Some letters to Swift were thrown away unread.C.A woman discovered the letters and discarded them.D.Poorly decorated letters were left unread.27.Swift’s manger ment claimed that .A.Swift had read each one of lettersB.Fans could trust them with their lettersC.They were quick in response to the incidentD.They did not internal to thraw away the letters28.Most celebritiesA.are too busy to read fan mail.B.Are afraid of receiving fan mail.C.Try their best to read fan mail themselvesD.Cute about the lute of fan mail29.According to Zubernis , fans want their letters to be read because they .A.hope to show their hand drawingsB.want the celebrities to see their talentC.desire to get connected with the starsD.dream of getting a photo of the stars30.Which of the following will fans cherish the most?A.The feeling of being related to their starsB.The sense of being similar to their starsC.The time spent with their starsD.The autograph of their starsPassage ThreeFacelift( 紧肤术) followed by a week on a beach in Thailand? Hip surgery with a side of shopping in Singapore? Over the last 10 years, Asia’s rise on the medical tourism scene has been quick. Eastern nations dominate the global scene. Now Bali wants a slice of the action.The Indonesian island recently opened its first facility specifically targeting medical tourists with packages and services, Bali international Medical Centre (BIMC) Nusa Dua. BIMC already has an international hospital in Kuta , which opened in 1998.The new internationally managed facility offers surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures and dental care.Unlike most of the region’s hospitals, BIMC is designed to feel more like a spa or resort( 度假村) than a medical facility..The 50-bed hospital has a 24-hour medical emergency entrance and hotel-like lobby at the front of the building servicing the hospital’s medical , and dental centers.If you’re a celebrity who doesn’t want everyone to know you’re here for a bit of lipo(吸脂术)，no worries. There’s a p rivate entrance that leads to the CosMedic Centre ,which offers views of a golf course.BIMC has even teamed up with the nearby Courtyard by Marriott Bali, which provides specific after-care services like tailor-made meals and wellness programs for patients.Latest technology and cool interiors are a start, but breaking into a regional industry that already has some of the worlds top international hospitals will be tough, says Josef-Woodman, CEO of U.S.-based medical travel consumer guide Patients Beyond Borders(PBB).“As a newcomer,Bali faces stiff competition from nearby international healthcare providers.To compete,Bali will to demonstrate a quality level of care and promote its services to the region and the world .On the positive side,Bali is blessed as one of the region’s safest ,most popular tourist destinations,with a built -in potential to attract medical travelers.”The lndonesian island could’t have picked a better time to get into the game,says PBB.”The world population is aging and becoming weather at rates that surpass the availability of quality healthcare resources ,”says the company’s research.31.w hat does “medical tourism:(para 1)probably mean?A.Trcating a disease during a tripB.Attracting patients with package tours.C.Cosmetic treatment and a tour in one.D.Turning hospitals into tourist attractions.32.H ow does BLMC differ from regular hospitals?A.I t offers cosmctic surgery.B.I t has better environment and services.C.I t accepts international patients.D.I t has more beds and longer service hours.33.B IMC wishes to attract celebrities with its .A.privacy measuresB.first -class designC.free golf courseD.tailor-made meals34.According to Woodman ,BIMC .A.threatens its regional competitor.B.will soon take the led in the industry.C.needs further improvement.D.faces both challenges and opportunities.35.What can be concluded from the last paragraph?A.The population is developing faster than medical resources.B.Healthcare is hardly available for the aging population .C.The world is in need of more quality medical care.D.The world population is becoming older and richer.Passage FourFor many of us, asking for help is it difficult concept. We may feel as if we are admitting a weakness that the world would not have known about, had we not asked for help.Ironically, it’s been my experience that people who are able to deliver well-positioned requests for help are seen as very strong individuals. When they demonstrate the humility ( 谦卑)to ask for help, they carn the respect of others. People who receive a heartfelt request for help are usually honored by the request. In turn we are strengthened by the very help that is provided.One of my clients (we’ll call her Kira) recently made a shift in how she wa s interacting with her boss. When asked to prepare presentations, she assumed that she was expected to go away, develop the content , deliver it at the required meeting and then wait for feedback from her boss. Her boss was highly regarded for the impact of his presentations, while Kira often felt that her presentations were lacking. When she took a hard look at how this approach was working for her. Kira recognized that she had not yet made use of her boss’s support. She could learn far more about creating attractive presentations by walking through a draft with her boss—focusing on the content plus her delivery—and obtaining feedback earlier in the process rather than at the back end .So she made the request for his support.The outcome? Her boss was delighted to coach Kira and was enthusiastic about the opportunity to put into use his own strength by teaching presentation skills more effectively to her. By taking the time to work together on preparation for a number of Kira’s key presentations, she benefited from her boss’s thought process and was able to distinguish the critical compoments to enhance her own presentations. Kira’s presentations now have punch!Some of us are uncomfortable asking for help because we believe that our request places burdens on the other person. Ironically, we may be missing an opportunity to show others how we value and respect them. People who know you and think well of you are often highly motivated to help. Furthermore, the more specific you can be about what you need from them, the easier it is for them to assist you.36.Many people are unwilling to ask for help because theyA. are confident of themselvesB. do not trust other peopleC. are ashamed of doing soD. do not think it necessary37.Which of the following may the author agree with?A .Asking for help means admitting weaknesses.B.Helping others is helping oneself.C.Well-positioned requests for help are welcomed.D.Weak people often need more help.38 .Kira’s request for helpA. turned out rewardingB. was turned downC. led to her promotion C. benefited her boss in return39.“Kirs’s presentations now have punch”means her presentations areA. ForcefulB. ControversialC. well receivedD. highly motivating40.The purpose of the passage is toA. illustrate how to ask for helpB. show the importance of mutual helpC. call for attention to others’ requestsD. encourage people to ask for helpSection BDirections: In this section, you are required to read one quoted blog and the comments on it. The blog and comments are followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers A,B,C and D. Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.A fascinating n ew study reveals that Americans are more likely to call their children “intelligent”. while European parents focus on happiness and balance.Here’s what one parent had to say about the intelligence of her 3-year –old, which was apparent to her from the very first moments of her life.“I have this vivid memory, when she was born of them taking her to clean her off. And she was looking all around. She was alert from the very first second. I look her out when she was six weeks old to a shopping mall to have her picture taken people would stop me and say:“What an alert baby.”One guy stopped me and said,“Lady, she was on intelligent baby.”Not only are Americans far more likely to focus on their children’s intelligence and cognative skills, they are also far l ess likely to describe them as “happy” or “easy” children to parent.“The U.S. unhealthy interest in cognitive development in the early years overlooks so much else” the researchers told us.Comment1:Probably indicates more about difference in cultural attitudes towards humility and boasting than about parenting styles. Here in the Netherlands if someone called their child “intelligent” I’d be rolling my eyes, both because it’s probably biased and overstated and because it’s just a rotten thing to draw attention to, as if it’s all about whose child is “better”. Life isn’t than much of a damn contest to us.Comment2:Agreed! That would apply in Sweden too. Parenting is more focused on the child’s well-being than social competition (there may be pressures here too, but it is not socially acceptable to express those things).Comment3:I agree and I live in the U.S. Parents’ opinions of their children’s intellect are definitely biased and overstated. It is the most annoying thing to listen to. Beijing “advanced” at a young age has little if anything to dowith their ability to learn as they get older and EVERY child is a genius if you give them a chance and an ear to listen to them. The happier the kid is, the smarter they will be. Happy and healthy is key.41.The passage is mainly concerned with cultural differences inA. bringing up one’s childrenB. describing one’s childrenC. social contestD. choosing a place to live in42.The word “alert” (para.3) is closest in meaning to“”A. intelligentB. easy-goingC. quick at noticing thingsD. happy43.According to Comment1,in ten Netherlands, calling one’s own child “intelligent” isA. boastingB. acceptableC. encouragingD. reasonable44.What nationality is the writer of Comment2?A. DutchB. AmericanC. SwedishD. French45.All of the following are true of Comment 3 EXCEPT thatA.it agrees with all the other commentsB.being happy and healthy is importantC.being intelligent at a young makes no senseD.children’s intellect varies from person to personPart IV Cloze (10 minutes, 10 points)Directions: In this part, t here is a passage with ten blanks .

2013年同等学力考试英语样卷三及答案解析Part Ill Reading Comprehension(45 minutes。
25 points)Section ADirections: In this section，there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements，each with four suggested answers A，B．C and D．Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet．Passage OneChildhood exposure to a group of chemicals，which are used widely in a variety of products，including water-resistant clothing and microwave popcorn，could reduce the effectiveness of common vaccines，a new study has found．Researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston looked at over 580 children and found that those who had higher concentrations of these perfluorinated(全氟化的) compounds(PFCs)in their blood had lower immune responses to diphtheria(白喉)and tetanus(破伤风) vaccinations．An insufficient immune response to a vaccine can mean a child is actually vulnerable to catching a disease even though they have been vaccinated against it，the researchers said．“When we take our kids to the doctor’s office to get their shots，we expect that the vaccines are going to work．What we found was that there was an increasing risk that they didn’t work if the kids had been exposed to the PFCs，”study author Philippe Grand-jean was quoted as saying by LiveScience.(21)What makes the children’s common vaccines less effective according to the new study? A．The exposure of chemicals they used in childhood．B．The reduction of a series of chemicals in childhood．C．Childhood consumption of chemical products.D．Childhood contact with chemical products．(22)The Harvard School of Public Health experts found that there was______relation between concentrations of chemical deposits in blood and immunity．A．no direct B．an unilateralC．a direct D．an unpredictable(23)The word “vulnerable” (Para．3) is closest in meaning to“_____”A．difficult to be affected B．impossible to be affectedC．possible to be affected D．easy to be affected(24)The increasing risk of low immunity which children face is caused by____．A．their exposure to chemicalsB．their refusal of getting shots of vaccinesC．the doctors’irresponsibilityD．the poor quality of vaccinesPassage TwoIn our society，we must communicate with other people．A great deal of communication is performed on a person-to-person basis by the simple means of speech．If we travel in buses or stand in football match queues，we are likely to have conversations in which we give information or opinions，and sometimes have our views challenged by other members of society．Face-to-face contact is by no means the only form of communication and during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become one of the dominating factors of contemporary society．Two things above others have caused the enormous growth of the communication industry．Firstly，inventiveness has led to advances in printing，photography，and so on．Secondly，speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news．No longer is the possession of information confined to a privileged minority．Forty years ago people used to flock to the cinema，but now far more people sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a program that is being channeled into millions of homes．Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of information．The modern communications industry influences the way people live in society and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information, education and entertainment．The printing，broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with their informing，educating and entertaining functions．Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is a part，the vast modern network of communications is open to abuse．However，the mass media are with us for better，for worse, and there is no turning back．(25)The author probably means that speech on a person-to-person basis is the_____means of communication．A．primary B．secondaryC．auxiliary D．optional(26)According to Paragraph 2，with the rapid communication speed，____________.A．local and national news reach people at the same timeB．national news reaches people even faster than local newsC．local news reaches people faster than national newsD．two factors make the face-to-face contact the only form of(27)The word “confined” (Para．3) most probably mea ns“________”A．limited B．confirmedC．related D．concealed(28)According to Paragraph 4，which of the following is NOT what modern communication does?A．Influencing people’s mode of life．B．Transmitting information．C．Broadening people’s horizons．D．Keeping people interested in industries．(29)The last paragraph implies that the mass media as the vast modern network of communications is likely to face or have more______A．criticisms B．praisesC．condemnations D．opportunitiesPassage ThreeRecruiting the right candidate to fill a vacancy can be a difficult and costly task．Appointing the wrong person could be an expensive mistake which could cause personnel problems for the whole department．And，as every HR manager knows，it is much more difficult to get rid of someone than it is to employ them．The HR manager’s first decision is whether to recruit internal applicants or advertise t he vacancy outside the company．Internal applicants are easy to recruit by memo，e-mail or newsletter．Furthermore，they are easy to assess and know the company well．However，they rarely bring fresh ideas to a position．Moreover，a rejected internal candidate might become unhappy and leave the company．Recruiting outside the company means either advertising the vacancy directly or using an employment agency．If the company decides to advertise the vacancy directly，it has to decide where to place the advertisement．Traditionally this has meant newspapers and professional journals but now the Internet is also very popular．The decision normally depends on the vacancy．Companies advertise blue-collar or clerical jobs in local newspapers and senior management positions in national papers or professional journals，while the Internet is one of bestways of advertising IT vacancies or recruiting abroad．However，with the Internet there is a risk of receiving unsuitable applications, from all over the world．An agency can be either a commercial business or a government employment center．A company often uses a government agency to reruit blue-collar workers but normally prefers a commercial agency for its white-collar staff．However，a commercial agency could be very expensive and the applicants are less likely to stay with the company for a long time．(30)The central idea of the first paragraph is that_____．A．finding the right job applicant to fill a vacancy is never easyB．removing an undesirable employer is more difficult than hiring himC．personal problems can come up if the manager employs a wrong candidateD．every HR manager knows the troubles and expenses of recruitment(31)The advantage of internal recruitment is that ．A．it is easy for the company to evaluate the internal applicantsB．the candidates know the company well enough to start work right awayC．it is expensive to recruit by means of memo，e-mail or newsletterD．it is the HR manager’s first decision to make once he wants to recruit(32)What problem is the internal recruitment likely to cause?A．The boss’ new thoughts can not be brought to the job recruited．B．The unsuccessful applicant will feel sad and leave the company．C．The rejected applicant will become unhappy and refuse to work hard any further．D．It might lead to unexpected occurrences and no arrival of the desired．(33)The traditional external recruitment advertisement is throughA．local employment agenciesB．the Internet，blog or FacebookC．newspapers and professional journalsD．direct recruitment means(34)The problem with the Internet as an external recruitment method is the risk of receiving ．A．a large number of false documentsB．a large number of undesired applicationsC．a wide variety of candidates throughout the worldD．a great variety of world-wide junk e-mailsPassage FourThis month is expected to see that seminal(有创意的) moment when digital cinema will outstrip the 35 mm technology that has been the dominant projection format in movie theatres for over 120 years．In 2009，digital accounted for only 15％of global screens．But the movie Avatar changed all that.3D movies required digital，and Avatar’s phenomenal success with 3D pushed cinemas to adopt digital screens．IMS Screen Digest cinema Intelligence Service estimates that by the end of 2012，digital will account for 63％of screens，and by 2015，83％．A majority of those screens will be based on Texas Instruments’ digital light processing(DLP) technology，a technology that uses millions of tiny mirrors on a tiny chip, each of them capable of moving thousands of times per second to create a digital image．That same technology today is also beginning to be used in cellphones and digital camera to project images in those devices onto ordinary surfaces．That will be a bigger opportunity，says Kent Novak，Texas Intruments’ senior VP for DLP products, who was in Bangalore recently.Cinemas are moving rapidly to digital screens．Why?The first digital movie was premiered(首演)in 1999．Initially it was thought moving to digital would give better picture quality and cost savings，but it took many years for a few systems to get deployed．And then Avatar happened．That was really the tipping point．In 2008，15 3D movies were released；in 2009，it was close to 50．Theatres were able to get more people and get a higher price for the ticket，so it became a significant revenue generator．We have seen more conversion of film to digital in the last two years than in the previous ten．You are now bringing the technology to smaller devices．We are moving to put these chips into cellphones，digital still cameras，camcorders，laptop accessories, tablets, docking stations, media players. We’ve been hearing of pico(handheld)projectors for some time now．But we don’t really see products in the market．The technology has only recently reached a tipping point in terms of lighting efficiency and total brightness．Three years ago，1 watt of power could get the brightness measurement of about 5 1umens．Today that 1 watt can give 20 lumens(making the projected image brighter)．We designed the chip to be more efficient．Also，the industry driver for efficiency is LED．The amount of investment going into LED is enormous．As technology has improved，volumes have gone up，and cost has come down．Micromax and Spice in India have put projection even in some of their feature phones；Samsung has put proj ection on some of their phones．Nikon has DLP embeddedin some of their digital still cameras，Sony has them in camcorders．What are the use cases that you see?You can use your phone to show video clips，pictures，power point presentations，and make it a shared experience．India has been more progressive in adopting the technology because feature phones are a phone during the day and become the primary entertainment source in the evenings．India also has mobile TV phones with preloaded Bollywood movies that can be projected out of the phone．(35)The word“outstrip”in the first paragraph most possibly mean“______”A．take off B．outliveC．surround D．surpass(36)The success of the 3D movie Avatar brought a(n)______increase in the digital global screens．A．1imited B．subtleC．ambiguous D．dramatic(37)What makes the digital screens possible，according to the passage?A．Digital light processing technology．B．Use of millions of tiny mirrors on the chip．C．The chip capable of moving thousands of times per second．D．The American movie entitled Avatar made in Hollywood．(38)Why are cinemas moving rapidly into digital screens according to the author?A．Because digital screens can bring owners of cinemas much more profits．B．Because owners of cinemas are in favor of new high technology devices．C．Because digital screens can give film viewers a better picture quality．D．Because more and more 3D films like Avatar are released in recent years(39)The word“revenue”(Para．5)is closest in meaning to“_____”A．adventure B．incomeC．ventilation D．motion(40)The author mentions Micromax，Spice，Samsung，Nikon and Sony to prove that_____．A．DLP technology has made a rapid progress in increasing brightness of imagesB．LED is getting more efficient and more widely used in electronic devicesC．these companies are making more and more profits by adopting LEDD．these companies are taking different attitudes towards LED applications(41)By “make it a shared experience” in the last paragraph the author means that_____．A．feature phones are enriching people’s interactions in their lifeB．a cellphone user can share his phone with other people aroundC．India has been more progressive in adoption of DLP technologyD．Spice company can preload movies into the phoneSection BDirections：In this section，you are required to read four pieces of news and decide which of the four titles marked A，B，C and D is best suited to each of them．Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet．A．Nokia posts $1.38bn loss in fourth qtrB．Gold surges to 7-week high of $1720C．R-Power ropes in German utility for miningD．“We are creating，not stealing jobs in US，Europe”(42)______LONDON：Gold prices soared Thursday to the highest level in almost seven weeks as the dollar weakened after the US Federal Reserve vowed to keep interest rates near zero for more than two years．The precious metal rose up to$1，720．35 an ounce on the London Bullion Market — the highest level since December 9 but still far below the record peak of $1，921．15 struck on September 6．“With the US Federal pledging to keep interest rates in check until late 2014，gold soared，”said Rose Norman，boss of British-based bullion broker Sharp Pixley．“Although there was heavy speculative buying, anxious investors joined the fray who are concerned by currency depreciation as global central banks use easy monetary policies to flood markets with cash.”(43)_____Davos：With HCL Tech announcing 10，000 jobs for locals in the US and Europe，India Inc on Thursday chose the WEF meet to send a strong message that India IT firms are creating and not stealing jobs in troubled western economies．A message emerged from British PM David Cameron’s advice to EU that instead of being a threat，emerging economies like India can be of great help to Europe．Concluding FTA with India by the year-end would be in Europe’s interest，he said．“There has to be FTAs，bilateral trade agreements with countries like India and Singapore along with other countries，” he said．(44)_____Helsinki：Mobile phone maker Nokia Corp posted a fourth-quarter net loss of 1．70 billion euro($1．38bn)as sales slumped 21％even as the company’s first Window smartphones hit markets in Europe and Asia．The loss compares with a profit of 745 million euro in the same period a year earlier．Nokia said net revenue，including both its mobile phones and its network divisions，fell from 12．6 billion euro in the Q4 of 2010 to 10 billion，with smartphones plunging 23％．Nokia has lost its once-dominance in the global cell phone market，with Android phones and iPhones overtaking it in the growing smartphone segment．Nokia is attempting a comeback with phones using Microsoft’s Window software，a struggle that CEO Stephen Elop characterized as “war of eco-systems．”(45)______New Delhi：Anil A mbani’s R-Power has roped in RWE Power International of Germany to help the company with extracting coal from its captive mines of the Tilaiya ultra-mega power project，the third such plant the government has mandated the company to set up.RWE Power is o ne of Europe’s leading energy utilities and German’s biggest coal miner．The company would help R-Power design and plan the engineering aspects of captive mine and procurement of equipment and ensure quality control．Government has allocated Kerendari Band C coal blocks of North Karanpura coal fields in Jhark-hand to meet the fuel requirements of the Tilaiya project．These mines have reserve of over

Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer SheetPassage OneThere are few sadder sights than a pile of fan letters, lovingly decorated with hand drawings，suffering in a bin. The sparkly envelopes were addressed to Taylor Swift, a pop star much beloved by teenage and pre-teen girls.“Dear Taylor,” read one discarded message, “I love you so much!! You’re the best!! And youre really beautiful and cute!! I’m really enjoying your songs,”This, along with hundreds of other similar letters sent from around the world, was discovered in a Nashville recycling disposal unit by a local woman. Swifts management was quick to reassure her admirer that they had been thrown out accidentally. The response may come as a disappointment to any devotee who imagines, as they compose their letters, that Swift makes time lo view each one personally.Dealing with piles of fan mail is, however, an administrative burden for most celebrities. While some celebrities do like to go through their mail personally, the majority simply do not have time. But the fate of their correspondence is something most committed fans will not wish, to dwell on, says Lynn Zubernis，an expert in the psychology of fandom at West Chester University.“There’s th is little bit of every fan that thinks theirs will be the one that stands out—its not an expectation, but a hope that theirs will be seen by the celebrity.”While the relationship between the fan and the celebrity may exist only in the mind of the former, it stems from a deeply-rooted human need for community and belonging, Zubernis believes. As a result, even receiving a mass-produced letter of acknowledgement and a photo stamped with a reproduced signature can be a powerful experience.“People have a tremendous need to connect with the person they are idolizing (偶像化),” she says. “They can’t ring them up and say, ’Can we have coffee?’ It’s not about the autograph (签名) ,It’s about the moment of connection.”21. Which of the following statements is true?A. Some letters to Swift were thrown away unread.B. The letters in the bin were exaggerating.C. A woman discovered the letters and discarded them.D. Poorly decorated letters were left unread.22. Swift’s management claimed that_______.A. Swift had read each one of the lettersB. fans could trust them with their lettersC. they didn’t intend to throw away the lettersD. they were quick in response to the incident23. Most celebrities_______A. are afraid of receiving fan mailB. are too busy to read fan mailC. try their best to read fan mail themselvesD. care about the fate of fan mail24. According to Zubernis, fans want their letters to be read because they _______.A. hope to show their hand drawingsB. want the celebrities to see their talentC. dream of getting a photo of the starsD. desire to get connected with the stars25. Which of the following will fans cherish the most?A. The sense of being similar to their stars.B. The feeling of being related to their stars.C. The time spent with their stars.D. The autograph of their stars.Passage TwoFive or six years ago, I attended a lecture on the science of attention. A philosopher who conducts research in the medical school was talking about attention blindness, the basic feature of the human brain that, when we concentrate intensely on one task, causes us to miss just about everything else. Because we can’t see what we can’t see, our lecturer was determined to catch us in the act. He had us watch a video of six people tossing basketballs back and forth, three in white shirts and three in black, and our task was to keep track only of the tosses among the people in white. The tape rolled, and everyone began counting.Everyone except me, I’m dysl exic (有阅读障碍的)，and the moment I saw that grainy tape with the confusing basketball tossers, I knew I wouldn’t be able to keep track of their movements, so I let my mind wander. My curiosity was aroused, though, when about 30 seconds into the tape, a gorilla (大猩猩)came in among the players. She (we later learned a female student was in the gorilla suit) stared at the camera, thumped her chest, and then strode away while they continued passing the balls.When the tape stopped, the philosopher asked how many people had counted at least a dozen basketball tosses. Hands went up all over. He then asked who had counted 13, 14, and congratulated those who’d scored the perfect 15, Then he asked, “And who saw the gorilla?”I raised my hand and was surprised to discover I was the only person at my table and one of only three or four in the large room to do so. Hed set us up，trapping us in our own attention blindness. Yes, there had been a trick, but he wasn’t the one who had played it on us. By concentrating so hard on counting, we had managed to miss the gorilla in the midst.26. This passage describes_______.A. an experimentB. a basketball matchC. a philosopherD. a gorilla27. “Attention blindness” refers to _______.A. seeing one thing while missing all elseB. the fact that one can’t see what one can’t seeC. keeping track of just about everythingD. the condition of being blind to details28. “Catch us in the act” (Para. 1) is closest in meaning to “find us_______.”A. doing something improperB. sleeping during the lectureC. failing to notice something within sightD. counting the basketball losses29. How many people in the room saw the gorilla in the video?A. 1.B. 3 or 4.C. 13 or 14.D. 15.30. Whom does “he” (last paragr aph) refer to?A. The author.B. The gorilla.C. The student.D. The lecturer.Passage ThreeFor many of us，asking for help is a difficult concept. We may feel as if we are admitting a weakness that the world would not have known about，had we not asked for help.Ironically, it’s been my experience that people who are able to deliver well-positioned requests for help are seen as very strong individuals. When they demonstrate the humility (谦卑)to ask for help, they earn the respect of others. People who receive a heartfelt request for help are usually honored by the request. In turn, we are strengthened by the very help that is provided.One of my clients (we’11 call her Kira) recently made a shift in how she was interacting with her boss. When asked to prepare presentations, she assumed that she was expected to go away, develop the content, deliver it at the required meeting and then wait for feedback from her boss. Her boss was highly regarded for the impact of his presentations, while Kira often felt that her presentations were lacking. When she took a hard look at how this approach was working for her, Kira recognized that she had not yet made use of her boss’s support. She could learn far more about creating attractive presentations by walking through a draft with her boss-focusing on the content plus her delivery----and obtaining feedback earlier in the process rather than at the back end. So she made the request for his support.The outcome? Her boss was delighted to coach Kira and was enthusiastic about the opportunity to put into use his own strength by teaching presentation skills more effectively to her. By taking the time to work together on preparation for a number of Kira’s key presentations, she benefited from her bosss thought process and was able to distinguish the critical components to enhance her own presentations. Kira’s presentations now have punch!Some of us are uncomfortable asking for help because we believe that our request places burdens on the other person. Ironically, we may be missing an opportunity to show others how we value and respect them. People who know you and think well of you are often highly motivated to help. Furthermore, the more specific you can be about what you need from them, the easier it is for them, to assist you.31. Many people are unwilling to ask for help because they _______.A. do not trust other peopleB. are confident of themselvesC. do not think it necessaryD. arc ashamed of doing so32. Which of the following may the author agree with?A. Asking for help means admitting weaknesses.B. Helping others is helping oneselfC. Weak people often need more help.D. Well-positioned requests for help are welcomed.33. Kira’s request for help_____.A. was turned downB. turned out rewardingC. led to her promotionD. benefited her boss in return34. “Kira’s presentations now have punch” means her presentations are_____.A. controversialB. forcefulC. well receivedD. highly motivating35. The purpose of the passage is to_____.A. illustrate how to ask for helpB. show the importance of mutual helpC. encourage people to ask for kelpD. call for attention to others’ requestsPassage FourFacelift (紧肤术)followed by a week on a beach in Thailand? Hip surgery with a side of shopping in Singapore? Over the last 10 years, Asia’s rise on the medical tourism scene has been quick. Eastern nations dominate the global scene. Now Bali wants a slice of the action.The Indonesian island recently opened its first facility specifically targeting medical tourists with packages and services, Bali International Medical Centre (BIMC) Nusa Dua. BIMC already has an international hospital in Kuta, which opened in 1998.The new internationally managed facility offers surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures and dental care.Unlike most of the region’s hospitals, BIMC is designed to feel more like a spa or resort (度假村)than a medical facility.The 50-bed hospital has a 24-hour medical emergency entrance and hotel-like lobby at the front of the building servicing the hospital’s medical, and dental centers.If you’re a celebrity who doesn’t want everyone to know you’re here for a bit of lipo (吸脂术)，no worries. Theres a private entrance that leads to the CosMedic Centro, which offers views of a golf course.BIMC has even teamed up with the nearby Courtyard by Marriott Bali, which provides specific after-care services like tailor-made meals and wellness programs for patients.Latest technology and cool interiors are a start, but breaking into a regional industry that already has some of the world’s top international hospitals will be tough, says Josef Woodman, CEO of U.S.-based medical travel consumer guide Patients Beyond Borders (PBB).“As a newcomer, Bali faces stiff competit ion from nearby international healthcare providers. To compete，Bali will need to demonstrate a quality level of care and promote its services to the region and the world. On the positive side, Bali is blessed as one of the regions safest，most popular tourist destinations, with a built-in potential to attract medical travelers.”The Indonesian island couldn’t have picked a better time to get into the game, says PBB. “The world population is aging and becoming wealthier at rates that surpass the availabilit y of quality healthcare resources,” says the companys research.36. What does "medical tourism” (Para. 1) probably mean?A. Treating a disease during a trip.B. Attracting patients with package tours.C. Turning hospitals into tourist attractions.D. Cosmetic treatment and a tour in one：37. How does BIMC differ from regular hospitals?A. It has better environment and services.B. It offers cosmetic surgery.C. It accepts international patients.D. It has more beds and longer service hours.38. BIMC wishes to attract celebrities with its_______.A. first-class designB. privacy measuresC. free golf courseD. tailor-made meals39. According to Woodman, BIMC_______.A. threatens its regional competitorsB. will soon take the load in the industryC. faces both challenges and opportunitiesD. needs further improvement40. What can be concluded from the last paragraph?A. The population is developing faster than medical resources.B. Healthcare is hardly available for the aging population.C. The world population is becoming older and richer.D. The world is in need of more quality medical care.Section BDirections: In this section, you are required to read one quoted blog and the comments on it. The biog and comments arc followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.A fascinating new study reveals that Americans are more likely to call their children “intelligent,” while European parents focus on happiness and balance.Here’s what one parent had to say about the intelligence of her 3-year-old, which was apparent to her from the very first moments of her life:“I have this vivid memory, when she w as born, of them taking her to clean her off... And she was looking all around... She was alert from the very first second... I took her out when she was six weeks old to a shopping mall to have her picture taken people would stop me and say, “What an aler t baby.” One guy stopped me and said, “Lady, she was an intelligent baby.”Not only are Americans far more likely to focus on their children’s intelligence and cognitive skills, they are also far less likely to describe them as “happy” or “easy” children to parent.The U.S.’s unhealthy interest in cognitive development in the early years overlooks so much else,” the researchers told us.Comment 1:Probably indicates more about differences in cultural attitudes towards humility and boasting than abou t parenting styles. Here in the Netherlands if someone called their child “intelligent” I’d be rolling my eyes, both because it’s probably biased and overstated and because it’s just a rottenthing to draw attention to; as if it’s all about whose child is “Better”. Life isn’t that much of a damn contest to us.Comment 2：Agreed! That would apply in Sweden too. Parenting is more focused on the child’swell-being than social competition (there may be pressures here too, but it is not socially acceptable to express those things).Comment 3:I agree and I live in the U.S. Parent’s opinions of their children’s intellect are definitely biased and overstated. It is the most annoying thing to listen to.

Choose the best answer and markyour answer on the Answer SheetPassage OneFive or six years ago, I attended a lecture on the science of attention. A philosopher who conducts research in the medical school was talking about attention blindness, the basic feature of the human brain that, when we concentrate intensely on one task, causes us to miss just about everything else. Because we can’t see what we can’t see, our lecturer was determined to catch us in the act. He had us watch a video of six people tossing basketballs back and forth, three in whiteshirts and three in black, and our task was to keep track only of the tosses among the people in white. The tape rolled, and everyone began counting.Everyone except me, I’m dyslexic (有阅读障碍的），and the moment I saw that grainy tape with the confusing basketball tossers, I knew I wouldn’t be able to keep track of their movements, so I let my mind wander. My curiosity was aroused, though, when about 30 seconds into the tape, a gorilla (大猩猩)came in among the players. She (we later learned a female student was in the gorilla suit) stared at the camera, thumped her chest, and then strode away while they continued passing the balls.When the tape stopped, the philosopher asked how many people had counted at least a dozen basketball tosses. Hands went up all over. He then asked who had counted 13, 14, and congratulated those who’d scored the perfect 15, Then he asked, “And who saw the gorilla?”I raised my hand and was surprised to discover I was the only person at my table and one of only three or four in the large room to do so. He'd set us up，trapping us in our own attention blindness. Yes, there had been a trick, but he wasn’t the one who had played it on us. By concentrating so hard on counting, we had managed to miss the gorilla in the midst.21. This passage describes_______.A. a basketball matchB. an experimentC. a philosopherD. a gorilla22. “Attention blindness” refers to _______.A. the fact that one can’t see what one can’t seeB. seeing one thing while missing all elseC. keeping track of just about everythingD. the condition of being blind to details23. “Catch us in the act” (Para. 1) is closest in meaning to “find us_______.”A. doing something improperB. sleeping during the lectureC. counting the basketball lossesD. failing to notice something within sight24. How many people in the room saw the gorilla in the video?A. 1.B. 3 or 4.C. 13 or 14.D. 15.25. Whom does “he” (last paragraph) refer to?A. The author.B. The gorilla.C. The lecturer.D. The student.Passage TwoThere are few sadder sights than a pile of fan letters, lovingly decorated with hand drawings，suffering in a bin. The sparkly envelopes were addressed to Taylor Swift, a pop star much beloved by teenage and pre-teen girls.“Dear Taylor,” read one discarded message, “I love you so much!! You’re the best!! Andyou're really beautiful and cute!! I’m really enjoying your songs,”This, along with hundreds of other similar letters sent from around the world, was discovered in a Nashville recycling disposal unit by a local woman. Swifts management was quick to reassure her admirer that they had been thrown out accidentally. The response may come as a disappointment to any devotee who imagines, as they compose their letters, that Swift makes time lo view each one personally.Dealing with piles of fan mail is, however, an administrative burden for most celebrities. While some celebrities do like to go through their mail personally, the majority simply do not have time. But the fate of their correspondence is something most committed fans will not wish, to dwell on, says Lynn Zubernis，an expert in the psychology of fandom at West Chester University.“There’s this little bit of every fan that thinks theirs will be the one that stands out—it's not an expectation, but a hope tha t theirs will be seen by the celebrity.”While the relationship between the fan and the celebrity may exist only in the mind of the former, it stems from a deeply-rooted human need for community and belonging, Zubernis believes. As a result, even receiving a mass-produced letter of acknowledgement and a photo stamped with a reproduced signature can be a powerful experience.“People have a tremendous need to connect with the person they are idolizing (偶像化),” she says. “They can’t ring them up and say, ’Can we have coffee?’ It’s not about the autograph (签名) ,It’s about the moment of connection.”26. Which of the following statements is true?A. The letters in the bin were exaggerating.B. Some letters to Swift were thrown away unread.C. A woman discovered the letters and discarded them.D. Poorly decorated letters were left unread.27. Swift’s management claimed that_______.A. Swift had read each one of the lettersB. fans could trust them with their lettersC. they were quick in response to the incidentD. they didn’t intend to throw away the letters28. Most celebrities_______A. are too busy to read fan mailB. are afraid of receiving fan mailC. try their best to read fan mail themselvesD. care about the fate of fan mail29. According to Zubernis, fans want their letters to be read because they _______.A. hope to show their hand drawingsB. want the celebrities to see their talentC. desire to get connected with the starsD. dream of getting a photo of the stars30. Which of the following will fans cherish the most?A. The feeling of being related to their stars.B. The sense of being similar to their stars.C. The time spent with their stars.D. The autograph of their stars.Passage ThreeFacelift (紧肤术）followed by a week on a beach in Thailand? Hip surgery with a side of shopping in Singapore? Over the last 10 years, Asia’s rise on the medical tourism scene has been quick. Eastern nations dominate the global scene. Now Bali wants a slice of the action.The Indonesian island recently opened its first facility specifically targeting medical tourists with packages and services, Bali International Medical Centre (BIMC) Nusa Dua. BIMC already has an international hospital in Kuta, which opened in 1998.The new internationally managed facility offers surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures and dental care.Unlike most of the region’s hospitals, BIMC is designed to feel more like a spa or resort (度假村）than a medical facility.The 50-bed hospital has a 24-hour medical emergency entrance and hotel-like lobby at the front of the building servicing the hospital’s medical, and dental centers.If you’re a celebrity who doesn’t want everyone to know you’re here for a bit of lipo (吸脂术），no worries. There's a private entrance that leads to the CosMedic Centro, which offers views of a golf course.BIMC has even teamed up with the nearby Courtyard by Marriott Bali, which provides specific after-care services like tailor-made meals and wellness programs for patients.Latest technology and cool interiors are a start, but breaking into a regional industry that already has some of the world’s top international hospitals will be tough, says Josef Woodman, CEO of U.S.-based medical travel consumer guide Patients Beyond Borders (PBB).“As a newcomer, Bali faces stiff competition from nearby international healthcare providers. To compete，Bali will need to demonstrate a quality level of care and promote its services to the region and the world. On the positive side, Bali is blessed as one of the region's safest，most popular tourist destinations, with a built-in potential to attract medical travelers.”The Indonesian island couldn’t have picked a better time to get into the game, says PBB. “The world population is aging and becoming wealthier at rates that surpass the avai lability of quality healthcare resources,” says the company's research.31. What does "medical tourism” (Para. 1) probably mean?A. Treating a disease during a trip.B. Attracting patients with package tours.C. Cosmetic treatment and a tour in one：D. Turning hospitals into tourist attractions.32. How does BIMC differ from regular hospitals?A. It offers cosmetic surgery.B. It has better environment and services.C. It accepts international patients.D. It has more beds and longer service hours.33. BIMC wishes to attract celebrities with its_______.A. privacy measuresB. first-class designC. free golf courseD. tailor-made meals34. According to Woodman, BIMC_______.A. threatens its regional competitorsB. will soon take the load in the industryC. needs further improvementD. faces both challenges and opportunities35. What can be concluded from the last paragraph?A. The population is developing faster than medical resources.B. Healthcare is hardly available for the aging population.C. The world is in need of more quality medical care.D. The world population is becoming older and richer.Passage FourFor many of us，asking for help is a difficult concept. We may feel as if we are admitting a weakness that the world would not have known about，had we not asked for help.Ironically, it’s been my experience that people who are able to deliver well-positioned requests for help are seen as very strong individuals. When they demonstrate the humility (谦卑）to ask for help, they earn the respect of others. People who receive a heartfelt request for help are usually honored by the request. In turn, we are strengthened by the very help that is provided.One of my clients (we’11 call her Kira) recently made a shift in how she was interacting w ith her boss. When asked to prepare presentations, she assumed that she was expected to go away, develop the content, deliver it at the required meeting and then wait for feedback from her boss. Her boss was highly regarded for the impact of his presentations, while Kira often felt that her presentations were lacking. When she took a hard look at how this approach was working for her, Kira recognized that she had not yet made use of her boss’s support. She could learn far more about creating attractive presentations by walking through a draft with her boss-focusing on the content plus her delivery----and obtaining feedback earlier in the process rather than at the back end. So she made the request for his support.The outcome? Her boss was delighted to coach Kira and was enthusiastic about the opportunity to put into use his own strength by teaching presentation skills more effectively to her. By taking the time to work together on preparation for a number of Kira’s key presentations, she benefited from her boss's thought process and was able to distinguish the critical components to enhance her own presentations. Kira’s presentations now have punch!Some of us are uncomfortable asking for help because we believe that our request places burdens on the other person. Ironically, we may be missing an opportunity to show others how we value and respect them. People who know you and think well of you are often highly motivated to help. Furthermore, the more specific you can be about what you need from them, the easier it isfor them, to assist you.36. Many people are unwilling to ask for help because they _______.A. are confident of themselvesB. do not trust other peopleC. arc ashamed of doing soD. do not think it necessary37. Which of the following may the author agree with?A. Asking for help means admitting weaknesses.B. Helping others is helping oneselfC. Well-positioned: requests for help are welcomed.D. Weak people often need more help.38. Kira’s request for help_____.A. turned out rewardingB. was turned downC. led to her promotionD. benefited her boss in return39. “Kira’s presentations now have punch” means her presentations are_____.A. forcefulB. controversialC. well receivedD. highly motivating40. The purpose of the passage is to_____.A. illustrate how to ask for helpB. show the importance of mutual helpC. call for attention to others’ requestsD. encourage people to ask for kelpSection BDirections: In this section, you are required to read one quoted blog and the comments on it. The biog and comments arc followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with foursuggested answers A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and mark your answer onthe Answer Sheet.A fascinating new study reveals that Americans are more likely to call their children “in telligent,” while European parents focus on happiness and balance.Here’s what one p arent had to say about the intelligence of her 3-year-old, which was apparent to her from the very first moments of her life:“I have this vivid memory, when she was born, of them taking her to clean her off... And she was looking all around... She was alert from the very first second... I took her out when she was six weeks old to a shopping mall to have her picture taken people would stop me and say, “What an alert baby.” One guy s t opped me and said, “Lady, she was an intelligent ba by.”Not only are Americans far more likely to focus on their children’s intell igence and cognitive skills, they are also far less likely to describe them as “happy” or “easy” children to parent.The U.S.’s unhealthy interest in cognitive development in the early years overlooks so much else,” the researchers told us.Comment 1:Probably indicates more about differences in cultural attitudes towards humility and boasting than about parenting styles. Here in the Netherlands if someone call ed their child “intelligent” I’d be rolling my eyes, both because it’s probably biased and overstated and because it’s jus t a rotten thing to draw attention to; as if it’s all about whose c hild is “Better”. Life isn’t tha t much of a damn contest to us.Comment 2：Agreed! That would apply in Sweden too. Paren ting is more focused on the child’s well-being than social competition (there may be pressures here too, but it is not socially acceptable to express those things).Comment 3:I agree and I live in the U.S. Parent’s opinions of their children’s intellect ar e definitely biased and overstated. It is the mo st annoying thing to listen to. Being “advanced” at a young age has little if anything to do with their ability to learn as they get older and EVERY child is a genius if you give them a chance and an ear to listen to them. The happier the kid is, the smarter they will be. Happy and healthy is key.41. The passage is mainly concerned with cultural differences in _____.A. bringing up one’s childrenB. describing one’s ch ildrenC. social contestsD. choosing a place to live in42. T he word “alert” (Para. 3) is closest in meaning to “_____.”A. intelligentB. easy-goingC. quick at noticing thingsD. happy43. According to Comment 1, in the Netherlands, calling one’s own child “inte lligent” is_____.A. boastingB. acceptableC. encouragingD. reasonable44. What nationality is the writer of Comment 2?A. Dutch.B. American.C. Swedish.D. French.45. All of the following are true of Comment 3 EXCEPT that _____.A. it agrees with all the other commentsB. being happy and healthy is importantC. being intelligent at a young age makes no senseD. children’s intellect varies from person to personPart IV Cloze (10 points)Directions: In this part, there is a passage with ten blanks.
