Part II. Reading Comprehension(50 points)
Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
Most American people hate repeating the same work endlessly, especially those who live in West America. They try their best to make their life colorful and their work interesting. If they have
to do the same regular work, they’ll try to do it in different ways. Repetition and monotony ( 单 调 )
are what they cant stand.
In the West of America, there is a beautiful old mountain village which is well known for its straw hats. The villagers there can make different styles of hats—hats for old gentlemen, for sweet and playful children, and for beautiful young ladies. People often go there to buy hats.
One day there came a young tourist who entered a hat shop and found a very nice hat that cost five dollars. He said to the shop-keeper,” If you agree to sell at a cheaper price, Id like to buy two hundred hats of this style.” “No, you should pay me at least ten dollars each if you wish to get so many hats of the same style.”
“Hows that?” The tourist could not understand.
“Well,” said the shop-keeper, “if you buy only one hat of this style, I can make it easily. If you order two hundred hats of different styles, I can also manage the business without much difficulty. However, it will almost bore me to death if you want me to make two hundred hats of the same style. So at least you pay me double price.”
61.We can learn from the story that .
A.only the straw hats of the same style were sold
B.most American people dont want to do the same work again and again
C.the straw hats were sold only in the mountain village

A.Because the shop-keeper couldnt make two hundred hats of the same style.
B.Because the shop-keeper couldnt stand repeating the same work endlessly.
C.Because the shop-keeper didnt want to sell him so many hats.
D.Because the shop-keeper hadnt enough straw to make the hats.
63.“It will bore me almost to death” in Paragraph 5 means that .
A.it would be too expensive for the shop-keeper
B.the shop-keeper was bored and would die at once C the shop-keeper was dying
D. it would be too boring for the shop-keeper
Passage Two
It is exciting to apply for a job that really appeals to you. In making your application, there are a number of points for you to observe.
In your letter of application, say just enough to give a good account of yourself without being wordy. If you are answering an advertisement, any information for which it asks must, of course, be given. This will usually cover your academic record and any further education and training. You may also be asked to give the names of one or two persons to supply references. For this purpose
you should choose people who know you well enough to vouch(保证) for your character and ability;
and to be polite, you should seek in advance their permission to be named as referees.
It will depend on circumstances how much you can carefully add about yourself. Your purpose is to bring to the notice of the employer any good reason why you rather than any of the other applicants should be chosen for the job. Therefore, if you feel you have any special skill or talent for the work, or particular interest in the line of business. let it be known.
Finally, there is your use of language. You cannot go wrong if you keep your sentences and paragraphs short, making sure the sense is clear and well-expressed. Choose plain words so long as they convey the meaning.
66.The aim of writing a letter of application is to .
A.indicate why you are the most suitable for the job

Passage Three
Doctors have known for a long time that extremely loud noises can cause hearing damage or loss. The noise can be the sound of a jet airplane or machines in factories or loud music or other common sounds found at home or at work. A person only needs to hear the noise for a little more than one second to be affected. An American scientist has found that using aspirin can increase the temporary hearing loss or damage from loud noise. He did an experiment, using a number of male students at a university who all had normal hearing. He gave them different amounts of aspirin for different periods of time, and then he tested their hearing ability. He found that the students who were given four grams of aspirin a day for two days suffered much greater temporary hearing loss than those who did not use aspirin. The hearing loss was about two times as great. The scientist said millions of people in the United States use much larger amounts of aspirin than were used in the study. He said these people face a serious danger of suffering hearing loss from loud noise.
71.Hearing damage or loss may be caused by .
A.loud music B. the sound of a jet airplane or machines

72.The passage suggests that ones hearing .

B.will be damaged even if he hears a loud noise for a little less than one second
C.will not be damaged even if he hears a loud noise for a little more than one second
D.will not be damaged even if he hears a loud noise for a little less than one second
73.According to this passage, we can draw a conclusion that aspirin . A.should never be taken more than four grams a day

A. one gram of aspirin B. two grams of aspirin
C. three grams of aspirin D. four grams of aspirin
Passage Four
Ancient people had little idea of the nature of the earths surface. But if they lived on the seashore, they knew that there was land and sea.
People who lived near the sea noticed that there were two kinds of land. There were, first, little pieces of land surrounded by sea. One Latin word for “sea” is “salum”, which means “salt”. This is
because sea water, unlike rain-water, contains salt—it is salty. So a piece of land in the sea was “in
salt” in Latin, and this became isle in English.
Then there was another kind of land that went on and on. It was “continuous land, and so became known as continent in English from the Latin “continēnts” meaning continuous. In English, we also speak of a continent as the mainland (“main” comes from the Latin “magnus” meaning “ great”), as opposed to island( isle-land).
To the ancient Greek, there seemed to be three continents separated by sea. The Mediterranean Sea, in fact, gets its name from the Latin “medius” (middle) and “terra” (land). It was a sea that lay
in the middle, with three bodies of land around it. The three continents—Asia, Europe and Africa—
are actually connected by land. Africa and Asia are connected by only the small Sinai Isthmus, from the Greek “isthmus” meaning “a narrow passage”, but Europe and Asia are connected by land for a thousand miles or more and it is customary to speak of Europe as a continent. Many geographers speak of the landmass of Asia plus Europe as Eurasia, and Eurasia plus Africa is sometimes called the World Island. The three together are surrounded by sea, so they form a large island, and they contain about 85 percent of the earths population.
76.People in ancient times knew .
A.a lot about land and sea B. some continents were connected
C. little about the surface of the earth D. many people lived on the World Island
77.The word “continent” comes from language.
A.the Latin B. the Roman C. the Greek D. the Hebrew
78.“Eurasia” is the name for the continents of .
A.Europe and Asia B. Europe and Africa
C. Africa and Asia D. Europe, Asia and Africa
79.What connects Asia and Africa?
A.A small island. B. A large desert.
C. A narrow passage. D. A wide land.
80.About 85% of the population in the world are living .
A.in Europe B. in Asia
C. in Eurasia D. on the World Island
Part III. Translation (20 points)
Directions: In this part, there is one passage in English. Read the passage carefully and translate it into Chinese.
Learning English has been almost a painful experience for me, one that I wouldn’t trade for anything. Not only did learning English teach me the value of hard work, but also gave me
insights( 领 悟 ) into another culture. The most exciting result of having learned English is that I am
able to communicate with many more people than before. Talking with people is my favorite activity, so the newly learned language allows me to meet new people, participate in conversations, and form new and unforgettable friendships.
Part IV. Writing (20 points)

IV. Writing(20分)
College Students Doing Part-Time Jobs
There are many advantages for college students to have part-time jobs. First, it can help the students to realize that if they want to be successful, they need to be hard-working. Next, doing part-time jobs can help the students to learn about time management. Then, doing part-time jobs can provide the students opportunities to put what they have learned in class into practice, which, in turn, will help them learn about what exactly is needed in real jobs.
However, there may also be some disadvantages. Firstly, the students study hours may be shortened depending on circumstances. They may not have enough time to do their homework or study for their examinations. Secondly, some students may become too preoccupied with making money. They may not be willing to commit as much time as needed to their study. The consequences may include failure in examinations or non-graduation in the end.
As far as I am concerned, college students can take part-time jobs as long as they can keep a good balance between their study and their part-time jobs.

Passage4
FEED THE BRAIN,BUT LESS SUGAR
While no single factor has been identified as the cause of Alzheimers it is thought that lifestyle choices,such as diet exercise and sleep habits can all have a significant impact on the fact,research by the Albert Einstein College of Medicine has,so far. suggested that lifestyle changes related to healthy ageing looks more promising than rug studies.
For the last decade or so,researchers have been exploring the link between our modern diets and the increasing prevalence of Alzheimer’s, specifically the connection between sugar and the disease. A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine demonstrated that even a mild elevation of blood sugar is associated with an elevated risk of dementia.
Previous research had shown a higher risk for diabetics in developing Alzheimers more recent research has shed further light on this ,finding an intricate link between insulin resistance and the bodies produce insulin that is necessary for the survival of brain cells,but this process goes awry when a toxic protein ,called ADDL,removes receptors form these cells and renders them insulin resistant. As the ADDLs accumulate,our memory can begin to deteriorate.
So,what should we be feeding our bodies ti give our brain the best change? A diet low in sugar and carbohydrates and high in healthy fats is essential. Opt for real food above processed options and try to keep added sugar levels to a minimum(ideally between 15 and 25 grams a day).Add plenty of good fats like avocados,raw nuts and coconut and other nut oils to the diet and try a high-quality probiotic to optimise the flora in the gut.
76. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as one of the causes of Alzheimers?
. B. Exercise habits.
【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。由第一段第一句可知,“生活方式的选择,如饮食,锻炼和睡眠习惯, 都可能对这种风险产生重大影响。”,所以正确选项是C。
does the sentence “lifestyle change related to healthy ageing look more promising than drug studies”imply?
A. We should research more on drugs.
should research more on lifestyle changes related to healthy ageing.
should promise to have more drug studies.
should promise to change lifestyles of whose health is ageing.
【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。由第一段可知,“与健康老龄化相关的生活方式的改变看起来‘比药物研究史更有前途’”,也就是说,生活方式对健康老龄化的影响要比药物影响大,所以正确选项是B。
78. What’s the relationship between blood sugar and risk of dementia according to Paragraph 2?
have positive correction. have negative correction.
have no relationship. have no obvious relationship.
【答案】A
【解析】细节埋解题。由第二段中“A study published in the New England Jourmal of Medicine demonstrated that even a mild elevation of blood sugar is associated with an elevated risk of dementia.发表在新英格兰医学杂志上的一项研究表明, 即使是轻微的血糖升高也会增加患痴呆症的风险。”可知,血糖升高对老年痴呆产生的是正相关,即“血糖越高,患老年痴呆的风险越大”,所以正确选项是A。
79. Which of the following statement about insulinis TRUE?
can help the survival of brain cells.
can resist the aging of brain cells.
can help resits ADDLs.
can deteriorate our memory.
【答案】A
【解析】细节理解题由第三段的第二句可知,“.Our bodies produce insulin that is necessary for the survival of brain cells, 我们的身体产生的胰岛素对于脑细胞的存活是必要的”,所以正确选项是A。
following are all good fats EXCEPT
nuts C. coconut
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。最后一段“Add plenty of good fats like avocados,raw nuts and coconut and other nut oils...在饮食中加入大量的有益脂肪,如鳄梨、生坚果、椰子和其他坚果油”可知,鳄梨,生坚果,椰子都属了有益脂肪。
Passage 4
【译文】:
喂饱大脑,但少吃糖
虽然没有任何一个因素被认为是导致阿尔茨病的原因,但人们认为,生活方式的选择,如饮食,锻炼和睡眠习惯,都可能对这种风险产生重大影响。事实上,到目前为止,阿尔伯特爱因斯坦医学院的研究表明,与健康老龄化相关的生活方式的改变看起来“比药物研究更有前途”。
在过去十年左右的时间里,研究人员一直在探索现代饮食与老年痴呆日益增长之间的联系,特别是糖与疾病之间的联系。发表在新英格兰医学杂志上的一项研究表明,即使是轻微的血糖升高也会增加患痴呆症的风险。
先前的研究已经表明,糖尿病患者在阿尔茨海茨病的发展中有更高的风险,最近的研究进一步揭示了这一点,发现了胰岛素抵抗和大脑之间的复杂联系。我们的身体产生的胰岛素对于脑细胞的存活是必要的,但是当个叫做ADDL的有毒蛋白质从这些细胞中移除受体并使它们产生胰岛素抵抗时,这个过程就会出错。随着ADDL累积,我们的记忆可能开始恶化。
那么,我们应该给我们的身体提供什么来给我们的大脑带来最好的改变呢?低糖、低碳水化合物和高健康脂肪的饮食见必不可少的。选择“真正的”食物高于加工的选择,并尽量将糖的含量保持在最低限度(理想情况下是每天15到25克)。在饮食中加入大量的有益脂肪,如鳄梨,生坚果、椰子和其他坚果油,并尝试高质量的益生菌来优化肠道菌群。

First of all, it is well known that lifelong learning can help us acquire a lot of useful knowledge. which always plays a vital role in our life. Whats more,there is D0denying that competition in todays society is so fierce that everyone should learn all kinds of knowledge to meet its demands. In the end, we must admit that we can set a good example to our children and encourage them to study hard if we insist on lifelong leaning.
As for as I am concerned,lifelong learning is a good phenomenon from which we can benefit a lot. It should be advocated vigorously, As individuals, we should pay enough attention to it, seize every opportunity to learn, and make it bring much more influence to us.

I seem to be the only one rushing to leave to get to my next appointment. Everyone else stays even after they have said their goodbyes more than twice.
At first, I couldnt understand why my colleagues would continue chatting after they had formally said goodbye. However, after having spent over a week here, I have learn that staying behind to chat is the way local people show they are interested in you and that is quite nice!

Questions 24 to 27 are based on the following passage.
Humans have long turned to the dog for its nose, especially in its ability to hunt, track missing people, and search for drugs- But there is a new challenge: Bomb-detecting dogs now have to learn to find the increasingly common Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs)(临时组装的爆炸装置)that can be assembled from materials not dangerous by themselves. “So we’re now asking dogs not just to find a needle in a haystack (干草堆)一 now the problem is more like saying to the dog we need you to find any sharp object in the haystack,” says Clive Wynne,a professor at Arizona State University.
Wynne directs the study that develops methods to train dogs to identify a wide variety of ingredientsthat could be used to make bombs. The dogs not only have to detect whether explosive materials are present, they also have to determine if the chemicals they smell could combine to form an explosive mixture. The dogs need to learn that when combined with other elements, even sugar could be used in a bomb. “we want the dogs to grasp the concept of ‘this might explode’”.
Wynne says the big problem is that IEDs are just that---improvised and completely unsteady. A dog’s nose can be over a thousand times more powerful than a human’s nose. Some agencies spent billions of dollars over the last 15 years trying to create a technical replacement for the nose of the dog, and at the end of all that they just had to admit “No, we cannot get close”. Wynne thinks his team can develop bomb sniffing (嗅,闻)dogs that can detect IEDs at a small part of that price. All it takes is patience.
24.According to the passage,the new task of bomb-detecting dogs is to learn______.
A. to detect materials that can be used to make bombs
B. to recognize materials that look like bombs
C. to search for various needles in a haystack
D. to identify drugs in a large pile of materials
25.The word “ingredients”(Line 2,Para. 2) is closest in meaning to_______.
A. methods B. dangers C. chances D. elements
26. According to the passage,a dog’s nose______?
A. Can’t be improved
B. is not replaceable
C. can be as powerful as a human nose
D. is equal to a technical machine
27. Why is it difficult to train dogs to detect IEDs, according to Wynne?
A. Dogs are unwilling to sniff IEDs.
B. IEDs can be replaced by other things.
C. It’s too expensive to get dogs trained
D. IEDs can be made from various materials.
Questions 28 to 31 are based on the following passage.
Food writer Bee Wilson has a message of hope for parents struggling to get their children to eat vegetables: “As parents, we have a far greater power than we think we have to form children’s tastes,” says Wilson.
In her new book, First Bite, Wilson examines how genetics(遗传), culture, memory and early feeding patterns contribute to our food preferences. She says that a child’s ability to judge good food can be formed even before birth. And this insight can be helpful for parents who want their children to eat well and healthfully.
“One of the main things we know about taste is that liking is a consequence of familiarity,so the things that our mothers eat,even before we’re born,affect the way well respond to those flavors. When we later encounter them, they seem familiar. “There have been remarkable studies done showing that if someone eats a lot of garlic when shes pregnant, the baby will grow up to love garlic.
Wilson, a mother of three, notes that babies are most open to trying new flavors between the ages of four and seven months. But, Wilson adds, even if parents miss introducing a food during the so-called “flavor window”,all hope is not lost.
“It not that the flavor window is shut and we can never learn to love bitter green vegetables. Humans can learn to love new flavors at any age,” Wilson says. “One of the amazing things about our relationship with food is how malleable (可塑的.)it is. But we dont usually as adults give ourselves an opportunity to change.”
28.According to Bee Wilson,a child’s food tastes________.
A.cant be changed by anyone
B.can be influenced by parents
C.will not develop even if he eats a lot of vegetables
D.will stay the same even if he eats well and healthfully
29.The word “preferences”(Line 2,Para. 2) is closest in meaning to_____.
A.ability B. flavor C. liking D. taste
30.Which life period of a baby is referred to as the flavor window?
A. The time between 4 and 7 months of age.
B. The period before a baby is 3 years old.
C. The days when a baby tries new flavors.
D. The months when a baby eats vegetables.
31.What can we conclude from the passage?
A. We can never learn to love bitter green vegetables.
B. We can always change our food tastes if we choose to.
C. When the flavor window is shut, our food taste is formed.
D. Parents often miss the chance to introduce foods to kids.
Questions 32 to 35 are based on the following passage.
Earth Day was the brainchild of Gaylord Nelson, a United States Senator from Wisconsin. After seeing the environmental destruction caused by the 1969 oil spill in Santa Barbara, California, Nelson wanted to find a way to raise public consciousness of the need for greater environmental protections.
The result was the first Earth Day on April 22, 1970. On that day, over 20 million Americans took part in a variety of rallies(集会),meetings,demonstrations and activities, all targeted at highlighting the need for protecting Earth and our environment for future generations. Thousands of colleges and universities also participated. Members of different groups learned they shared common values.
Earth Day was a tremendous success. It has now become a global phenomenon. In 1990,for example, over 200 million people in 141 countries were organized to bring environmental issues, especially recycling, to the forefront of global consciousness. Today, Earth Day campaigns continue to publicize important environmental issues, such as global warming, dean energy, and recycling.
If you’re wondering what you can do to make Earth a better place,participating in
Earth Day activities is a great place to start- By attending a rally,meeting, or demon-station, you can learn about the environmental problems facing our planet. To really make a difference, though, you need to turn the knowledge you gain into action. Volunteering for an environmental group or helping to organize an Earth Day event to educate others is one way to make a difference. More importantly, however, you can make changes in your daily life. Here are a few suggestions:
Conserve energy and natural resources! Turn off the lights when you leave a room. Take shorter showers. Turn down the thermostat(恒温器)in winter and turn it up during the summer.
Plant a tree! Trees produce oxygen and remove carbon dioxide from the air. They will
benefit you and future generations.
Reduce, reuse, and recycle! The amount of trash humans produce increases each year.
Do your part by reducing the amount of stuff you buy,reusing the stuff you already have, and recycling as much as possible.
32. Earth Day was set up in order to______.
A.help California recover from the 1969 oil spill
B.help Nelson realize his dream of becoming a senator
C.remember those who suffered greatly in the oil spill
D.improve the publics awareness of environmental protection
33. What happened on April 22, 1970, according to the passage?
A.Different groups met to discuss environmental issues.
B.Thousands of college students went out into the streets to protest.
C.Environmental activists targeted at governments.
D.Millions of Americans participated in environmental protection activities.

Part III Reading Comprehension (40 points)
Task 1
Linkup ,the APP Research and Development Company, has announced it will give more than twenty-five million dollars in money and investments to help the poor. The company says the effort involves using the power of information and technology to help people improve their lives.
James Lee works for Linkup.org—— the part of the company that gives money to good causes. He said the company’s first project will help identify where infectious (传染性的) diseases are developing. In Southeast Asia and Africa, for example, Google.org will work with partners to strengthen early-warning systems and take action against growing health threats.
Linkup.org’s second project will invest in ways to help small and medium-sized businesses grow. James Lee says microfinance (小额信贷) is generally small, short-term loans that create few jobs. Instead, he says Google.org wants to develop ways to bring investors and business owners together to create jobs and improve economic growth.
Linkup.org will also give money to help two climate-change programs announced earlier this year. One of these programs studies ways to make renewable (再生的) energy less costly than coal-based energy. The other is examining the efforts being made to increase the use of electric cars.
The owners of Linkup have promised to give Linkup.org about one percent of company profits and one percent of its total stock value every year. James Lee says this amount may increase in the future.
21. The purpose of Linkup’s investments is to ________.
A) develop new technology B) explore its own business

Task 2
If you think 3D printing is only good for making delicate paperweights(压纸器), then you’re pretty much right. However, a group of Dutch architects have already begun 3D printing an entire canal house in Amsterdam. Is the first 3D printed house a gimmick(喙头)?Definitely! Is it an experiment that pushes the possibilities for 3D printing technology and architecture? Maybe!
3D Print Canal House is the brainchild of DUS Architects. “KamerMaker,” Dutch for “room maker”, is their giant printer built inside a shipping container. Just a few weeks ago, KamerMaker began printing plastic furniture and walls at an empty canal-side lot in northern Amsterdam. Smaller versions of the unusual honeycomb walls have been tested on normal desktop printers, and everyone just needed to scale it up (按比例放大). Well, if only it were that easy.
“The printer did not always manage to spread the plastic evenly(均匀的), making some of the ribs of the honeycomb structure of the block uneven,”reported ARN(Australian Radio Network) to the surprise of no one who has used a 3D printer. But the architects remain optimistic. The first few printed blocks are means to be test prices as they improve the process.
It takes about a week to print a 3-meter high block right now. The project’s leaders hope to eventually get that down to two hours and finish the first of 12 rooms in a year, and the entire house in less than 3 years.
Finally, 3D Print Canal House is an architecture research project, one that is very much being conducted in the public eye. You can actually buy tickets to visit the construction site for 2.50 Euros.
The top floors will become more decorated, for example, as newer techniques are used. They’ll explore the possibilities of 3D printing, like honeycomb walls or an entire room recycled, redesigned, and built again. Nobody’s going to move into 3D printed house soon, but, if anyone ever dose, something might be learned from this experiment by the email.
26. What have the Dutch architects begun to use 3D printer to do according to the passage?___
A. To make heavy paperweights.
B. To print the unusual honeycomb.
C. To print an entire canal house.
D. To build a shipping container
27. Where did KamerMaker begin printing plastic furniture and walls several weeks ago?
A. It was inside a shipping container in Amsterdam.
B. It was at an empty canal-side lot in northern Amsterdam.
C. It was in a canal house in Amsterdam.
D. It was in a room.
28. What is the weakness of the 3D printer mentioned in the passage?
A. It cannot always spread the plastic evenly.
B. It needs to be shortened.
C. It cannot make the ribs of the honeycomb structure.
D. It can print anything smoothly.
29. How long will it take for the 3D printer to make the canal house in Amsterdam?
A. A week
B. Two hours
C. More than 3 years
D. Less than 3 years
30. Which of the following statements is WRONG according to the passage?
A. This canal house is being built in the public eye.
B. The top floors of the canal house will be more decorated.
C. Someone is going to move into this canal house soon.
D. One can visit the construction site for 2.50 Euros.
Task 3
Let’s say you have a certain amount of money you’ve saved up for holiday gifts. If you want to get something for everyone on your list, you can’t spend much on any single purchase.
But have you ever heard the expression "time is money "? There’s some truth to it! We “spend” time just like we “spend” money, and in both cases, we have to spend it wisely if we want to get something good in return. Just like you might get an allowance of 10 dollars a week. Or 38 dollars for a trip to the mall, each day we are given 24 hours of time.
The earliest way to help you get everything done to budget that time! This is all about:
-Examining your Have-to’s and Want-to’s.
-Examining your how much time your Have-to’s and Want-to’s will take up.
-Working out a plan that let’s you speed the amount of time on each one.
Once you have this plan, a “time budget”, you’ll be better able to create a Daily Schedule and Weekly Planner. Of course, everyday isn’t exactly the same as the next, so it may help you to make a different time budget for different days.
Let’s look at a sample time budget on Wednesday:
Sleep 8 hours
Shower, dressing, ready for school 1/2 hour
Breakfast 1/2 hour
Bus for school 1/2 hour
School 7 hours
Bus home 1/2 hour
Soccer practice 2 hours
Household chores 1/2 hour
Homework 2 hours
Dinner 1/2 hour
TV time 1 hour
Reading/personal time 1 hour
Total time spent 24 hours
Great! That day’s budget works out, because it all adds up 24 hours. If the total came out to be more than that, we would have choose something to cut down or drop from that day. When you make these types of decision, you choose priorities.
Task 4
[A]Interest in pursuing international careers has risen in recent years strengthened by permanent personnel shortages that are causing companies to search beyond their home borders for talent.
[B] Professionals seek career experience outside of their home countries for a variety of reasons. They may feel the need to recharge their batteries with a new challenge. They may want a position with more responsibility that encourages creativity. Or they may wish to expose their children to another culture, and the opportunity to learn a second language.
[C]When applying for a job, one usually has to submit a resume or curriculum vitae (CV). The two terms generally mean the same thing: a one--or two--page document describing ones educational qualifications and professional experience. However, guidelines for preparing a resume are constantly changing. The best advice is to find out what is appropriate regarding the company culture, the country culture, and the culture of the person making the hiring decision. The challenge will be to include two or more cultures in one document. The following list is a good place to start.
[D]“Educational requirements differ from country to country. In almost every case of
cross--border job hunting, just stating the title of your degree will not be an adequate description. Provide the reader with details about your studies and any related experience. "
[E]Pay attention to the resume format you use-chronological or reverse-chronological order. Chronological order means listing your oldest work experience first. Reverse-chronological order means listing your current or most recent experience first. Most countries have preferences about which format is most acceptable. If you find no specific guidelines, the general preference is for the reverse-chronological format."
[F]If you are submitting your resume in English, find out if the receiver uses British English or American English because there are changes between the two versions. For example, university education is often referred to as tertiary education in the United Kingdom, but this term is almost never used in the United States. A reader who is unfamiliar with these changes may assume that your resume contains errors.
31. The author believes that an individual who applies to work overseas seeks
either his own or his childrens development.
32. When it comes to resume writing, it is best to take cultural factors into
consideration.
33. According to the authors last piece of advice, the applicants should be aware of
the differences between the changes of English.
34. Companies are hiring more foreign employees because they have difficulty
finding qualified personnel at home.
35. When writing about qualifications, applicants are advised to provide a detailed
description of their study and work experiences.

Format I
Directions:
There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marker A,B,C, and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on The Answer Sheet.(40 points)
Passage One
Questions I to 5 are based on the following passage:
A U.N. report says water is in demand around the world as temperatures on Earth’s surface rise and demand grows along with populations. The report was released this week at the World Water Forum in Brasilia. The conference has been described as the world’s largest water-related event.
Federal District Governor Rodrigo Rollemberg spoke at a panel discussion on Tuesday at the forum. He described water shortages as a worldwide problem. “Here in Brasilia, it is no different,” he added.
The public water supply has less water because of low rainfall as well as fast and disorderly growth in Brasilia, which is part of the Federal District, Rollemberg said. In January 2016, after three years of little rain, district officials began limiting how much water people could use. The governments of the Federal District and the nearby state of Goias also gave $166 million to develop water infrastructure(基础设施).
Demand around the world is expected to increase by nearly one-third by 2050. By then, 5 billion people could be left with poor access to water, the U.N. warned in its 2018 World Water Development Report. To avoid such a crisis, U.N. officials called for “nature-based solutions” that use or copy natural processes that should be used to increase water availability. They said solutions could include changing farming methods so fields keep more moisture and nutrients, collecting rainwater, and protecting wetlands. The officials also proposed reestablishing floodplains and said that plants could be grown on housetops. Such proposals will become more important as water industries grow.
1. Who talked about water shortages in Brasilia at a panel discussion?
A. A journalist
B. A.U.N. official
C. A Federal District official
D. An official from the state of Goias.
2. What is among the reasons for less public water supply Brasilia?
A. Waste of rainwater
B. Insufficient rainfall
C. Growing plants on the roofs
D. Development in infrastructure
3. What did the Federal District government do to deal with water shortages?
A. They controlled population
B. They limited water consumption
C. They invested in artificial rainmaking
D. They suggested"nature-based solutions”
4. What is not a"nature-based solution"?
A. Gathering rainwater
B, Preserving wetlands
C. Sustaining water in soil
D. Building houses on floodplain.
5. What is the main idea of this passage?
A.Brasilia is facing the problem of water shortages
B. The world has found a solution to water shortages
C. The world is facing the problem of water shortages
D. A report was released at the World Water Forum in Brasilia.
Passage Two
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:
The Queen has only given one interview while a sovereign(君主). Her true personality remains elusive to the public. However, one thing is clear: Queen Elizabeth is an introvert.Introverts prefer quiet environments and feel energized from spending time alone or with people they know well. They aren’t necessarily shy, but they do tend to be more reserved and guarded with strangers. Fellow introverts will appreciate how draining an average day for Her Majesty must be.
Fortunately, the Queen has some tricks to make public engagements easier. Just like us commoners rely on friends to save us from awkward situations or boring conversations, she subtly signals to her staff when she wants an intervention(介入). If she places her handbag on the table, it indicates that she wants the event to end in the next five minutes. For more urgent situations, putting her bag on the floor shows that she wants her lady-in-waiting to rescue her immediately.
Most comfortable in the countryside, the Queen has a well-known passion for horses and dogs. There is a scene in the hit Netflix show The Crown which reveals a fascinating side of the monarch. While giving Jackie Kennedy a personal tour of Buckingham Palace, the two women find themselves bonding over their respective positions as introverted women who have found themselves in the limelight. Surrounded by the Queen’s beloved corgis, both women admit they are happiest around animals and that their extroverted sisters would have been much better suited to their public roles.

Passage four
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage
You’ve made it. You managed to navigate your way through the world’s largest airport you breezed through security and you successfully boarded the plane. Now you’re comfortable in your seat in the cabin, and there’s even a little bit it of elbow room, as the flight isn’t fully booked for once. With the hassle behind you, you settle in with your neck pillow, pop some Kenny G on your iPod, and get ready to spend quality time sleeping on a plane. And you’re abouto make a huge mistake that will put your health at risk, as reported by Travel + Leisure.
It’s not because of the Kenny G. It’s the shuteye part. According to Medline Plus, falling asleep during landing or takeoff could cause serious damage to your ears. It all has to do with the rapid changes in air pressure in the cabin. If you’re awake, a natural response to alleviate pressure on your eardrums during takeoff and landing is to “pop” them, to maintain a pressure equilibrium. If you’re sleeping on a plane, you can’t actively work to relax those muscles and release the tension, so you can become susceptible to dizziness, ear infections, eardrum damage, hearing loss and nose bleeds. “A quick change in altitude affects the air pressure in the ear,” says Angel Chalmers, a British pharmacist, via Express. “This leads to a vacuum in the Eustachian tubes(咽鼓管) which makes the ears feel blocked and sound dull.”
Keep those Eustachian tubes clear and keep those eyes open for at least another few minutes. Crack open that book you just bought in the terminal. After all, there are some major perks to buying your reading material at the airport.
16.The underlined sentence"youve made it .”(Paragraph 1) means that you have managed_____.
A. to board the plane
B. to get a bit of elbow room
C. to get ready to sleep after boarding
D. to make yourself comfortable after boarding
17. What would damage your health when the plane lakes off or lands?
A. Using a neck pillow.
B. Shutting your eyes
C.Listening to music
D. Falling asleep.
18. The underlined word"alleviate"( Paragraph 2) is the closest in meaning to “____”.
A.increase
B. reduce
C.maintain
D,escape
19. Having a vacuum in the Eustachian tubes during takeoff and landing could cause unpleasant symptoms to the following body parts EXCEPT____.
A. the throat
B. the nose
C. the cars
D. the head
20. The author suggests that you read a book____during the plane taking off and landing
A. to amuse yourself
B. to stay awake
C. to keep your ears clear
D. to make yourself comfortable

Researchers in Japan and Australia say they have made progress in developing blood test that could one day help doctors identify who might get Alzheimer’s disease. The scientists said the test can recognize a protein known as amyloid (涛粉样蛋) beta, which other studies have linked to Alzheimers. They said it was correct more than 90 percent of the time in a study involving over 370 people. The findings were published in the journal Nature.
Alzheimers disease is the most common form of demenna(痴呆). Experts believe dementia affects close to 50 million people worldwide. By the year 2050, it is expected to affect more than131 million people. Those numbers come from Alzheimers Disease International, a non-profit group. Currently, doctors have two ways to identify a buildup of amyloid beta in the brain. One is brain scan or brain imaging; the other is a spinal tap(脊椎抽 液). But both tests are invasive,costly and may only show results when the disease has already started to progress. There is no treatment that can slow the progression of Alzheimers. Current drugs can only case some of the effects of the disease.
Having a simple, low-cost blood test could make it easier for drug companies to find enough people who are at risk of developing Alzheimers to test new medicines, said Katsuhiko Yanagisawa. He was one of the leaders of the study. He works at the Japanese National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology
Alzheimers disease is thought to start developing years before patients have any signs of memory loss. Experts say an important factor in finding an effective treatment will be the ability to recognize signs of the disease early. "You have got to walk before you run, "said Colin Masters, a co-leader of the study and a professor at the University of Melbourne in Australia. " You have to learn to diagnose the disease directly before you can hope to see the effect of therapeutic intervention. And that’ s where the real value in this test will come. " Masters added.
56.This passage reports the development of a test to diagnose Alzheimers disease
57. One advantage of the present test is that it costs than the previous tests.
58. All the three tests identify Alzheimer’s disease by detecting a protein named .
59. Can doctors cure or slow down the progression of Alzheimer’s disease today?
60. Alzheimers disease may have already started before patients have any signs of memory .

When asked how far engineers had done towards creating artificial intelligence(AI),Stephen W. Hawking replied: 66. Once humans develop artificial intelligence, it would take off on its own. It will redesign itself at an ever increasing rate. Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldnt compete with them. We would be replaced.”
In my view, the late Cambridge professor is wrong because there are strong grounds for believing that computers will never copy all human cognitive abilities. 67. AI has historically failed to copy human mentality, and it will continue to fail. Three fundamental problems explain why.
First, computers lack true understanding. A US philosopher John Searle proposes how a computer program can appear to understand Chinese stories by responding to questions, but fail to truly understand anything of the interaction.
Second, computers lack consciousness. Some researchers hold 68. if a robot experiences a conscious sensation as it interacts with the world, consciousness will exist in everything everywhere:in the cup of tea I am drinking, in the seat that I am sitting on. But does everything in this world have souls or minds? If we reject this idea, we must reject machine consciousness
Lastly, computers lack mathematical insight. Can the human mind be completely realized by mere computations my role as an Al expert on the International Committee for Robot Arms Control.I am particularly concerned by the potential development of robotic weapons systems. 69. These systems can engage themselves in military action without human instruction. This is because current AI is not similar to human intelligence. When fighting against each other, poorly designed autonomous systems have the potential to make the situations worse rapidly. Such systems can exhibit true artificial stupidity.
It is possible to agree that 70. AI may pose an existential threat to humanity, but it will never become more intelligent than us.

Questions 20 to 23 are based on the following passage.
Viktor Frankl, a famous Jewish psychiatrist(精神病医生), wrote his bestselling 1946 book Mans Search for Meaning in nine days about his experiences in Nazi concentration camps. Frankl concluded that the difference between thoseprisoners who had lived and those who had died came down to one thing : Meaning, an insight he came to early in life.
In 1991, the Library of Congress listed Man5s Search for Meaning as one of the 10 most influential books in the United States. It has sold millions of copies worldwide. Now, over twenty years later, the book s ideas—its emphasis on meaning, the value of suffering, and responsibility to something greater than the self—seem to be at odds with our culture,which is more interested in the pursuit of individual happiness than in the search for meaning. But happiness cannot bepursued. It follows. One must have a reason to be happy,”Franklwrote.
According to Gallup, the happiness levels of Americans are at a four-year high. Gallup also reports that nearly 60%of all Americans today feel happy, without a lot of stress or worry. On the other hand, according to the Center for DiseaseControl, about 4 out of 10 Americans have not discovered a satisfying life purpose. 40% either do not think their liveshave a clear sense of purpose or are neutral about whether their lives have purpose. Nearly a quarter of Americans do nothave a strong sense of what makes their lives meaningful.
Research has shown that having purpose and meaning in life increases overall well-being and life satisfaction, improves mental and physical health, and decreases the chances of depression. On top of that, the single-minded pursuit ofhappiness is leaving people less happy, according to recent research.
20. According to Paragraph 1, we know that Viktor Frankl_____________ .
A. wrote his early life experience as a soldier
B. lost his hope of seeking the meaning of life
C. spent nine days in Nazi concentration camps
D. survived with the spiritual support of life meaning
21. The book’sideas dont agree with American culture because Americans are more interested in searching for____.
A. happiness B. meaning C. suffering D. stress
22. The percentage of Americans who don’t have a satisfying life purposeis______________ .
A. 25% B. 60% C. 40% D. 10%
23. Which of the following is the idea the author intends to convey?
A. Mental health is the most important factor in life.
B. Pursuit of happiness is the most important thing in life.
C. Physical health can be improved if you are happy.
D. Realizing the meaning of life is important to happiness.
Questions 24 to 27 are based on the following passage.
If you’ve ever lost your wallet (钱包), then you know that it’s a very terribleexperience. Most people keep a lotintheir wallets. That’s where they keep their drivers license, their credit cards, and all kinds of other important things. Of course,that’s also where most of us keep our cash.
We all need cash in our lives. However, something called digital currency is slowly replacing cash. A currency is a kind of money. Usually, we use currency when we talk about a country’s money. For example, the UK is the pound, and the USA is the dollar. If something is digital, it only exists on a computer. So “digital currency” means money thatonly existson computers.
Lots of people have digital currency accounts. They use a credit card to change their real money into digital money, and then the money goes into the digital currency account. A lot ofpeople wonder, “Why in the worldshould I change myreal moneyinto digital money? ” This is a fair question, but there’s a good answer. If you want to buy something online, then you usually have to use digital currency. For example, if you’re in China and you want to buy something in Canada, then you’ll have to pay with digital currency.
Many people still don’t trust digital currency. Some people think that if they can’thold their money in their hand, then it doesn’t seem real. These people don’t feel comfortable when they see numbers on a computer screen. The computertells them that their money is safe, but these people don’tfeel safe. Another problem is security. There are hackers all overtheworld. A hacker is a person who steals computer information. If a hacker gets the password of your digital currency account, he or she can steal your money.
You have to decide whether or not you trust this new invention. Just remember one thing: If you want to buy something online, then you probably won’thave achoice. You’ll have to use digital money.
24. The word “fair”( Para. 3) is closest in meaning to__________ .
A. beautiful B. equal C. pleasant D. reasonable
25. Which of the following is probably a hacker according to the passage?
A. A person who uses a computer to steal things.
B. A person who composes computer programs.
C. A person who uses a computer to buy things.
D. A person who owns a lot of digital currency.
26. How do those who don’t trust digital currency think about money?
A. The money on a computer screen is safe.
B. The money in their hand is real.
C. Real money is worth more than digital money.
D. Real money and digital money are the same.
27. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Hacker problems in the world. B. Currencies used in particular countries.
C. A new kind of money. D. Safety of digital currency.
Questions 28 to 31 are based on the following passage.
Zoos are hugely popular attractions for adults and children alike. But are they actually a good thing?
Critics of zoos would argue that animals often suffer physically and mentally by being enclosed (封闭). Even the best artificial environments can^ come close to matching the space and freedom that animals have in their natural environments. Thisenclosure causes many zoo animals to become stressed or mentally ill. Capturing animals in the wild also causes much suffering by splitting up families. Some zoos make animals behave unnaturally. For example, in some parksdolphins (海豚)are forced to perform tricks, who may die decades earlier than their wild relatives. And some even try to kill themselves.
On the other hand, by bringing people and animals together, zoos have the potential to educate the public aboutconservation issues and inspire people to protect animals and their natural environments. Some zoos provide a safe environment for animals which have been mistreated by people, or pets which have been abandoned. Zoos also carry out importantresearch into subjects like animal behavior and how to treat illnesses. One of the most important modern functions of zoos issupporting international breeding(繁殖) programmes, particularly for endangered species(种群). In the wild, some ofthe rarest species have difficulty in finding mates and breeding. A good zoo will enable these species to live and breed insecure environments.
So, are zoos good for animals or not? Perhaps it all depends on how well individual zoos are managed, and the benefits of zooscan surely outweigh their harmful effects. However, it is understandable that many people believe imprisoninganimalsfor any reason is simply wrong.
28. The expression “artificial environments” (Para. 2)is used in contrast to_______________.
A. natural environments B. some zoos
C. breeding programmes D. modern functions
29. Why are dolphins mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A. They are ocean animals.
B. They are good at performing.
C. They are made to behave unnaturally in some parks.
D. They are supported by international breeding programmes.
30. According to the passage, international breeding programmes are particularly important to________.
A. animals in zoos B. split-up families
C. dolphins in parks D. endangered species
31. What is the author’s attitude towards zoos?
A. Negative B. Positive C. Critical D. Understandable
Questions 32 to 35 are based on the following passage.
How many times, when finding yourself in a difficult situation, have you heard something like, “You just need to go somewhere, change your environment, and meet new people.” Upon hearing this, we think such advice can be annoying: going through hard times, you rather expect help, sympathy, or at least something more practical, rather than“You know, you should travel”. However, the surprising truth is that this is probably one of the most useful and practical pieces of advice you can get.
Of course, you cannot abandon everything and set off to go on a world trip. All of us have duties, responsibilities, debts, connections. However, the advice to travel does not necessarily imply something like departing to Nepal and living among monks(僧侣)for years. In fact, small but regular journeys are available almost to everyone, and the positiveeffects they can have on your mental condition and your ability to cope with difficulties are significant.
When you are stressed, your thoughts obviously cannot be positive and optimistic(乐观的`).So, whether you want it or not, you will view your life situation from a rather pessimistic perspective(悲观的视角). However, when you board a plane and fly overseas, you almost immediately start to feel your problems fade. “Out of sight, out of mind,’’ as the saying goes. Of course, I am not saying the easiest way to feel better is to escape from problems; I rather mean that taking a break and allowing yourself to breathe in some fresh air can give you a new perspective. Having a good rest is a necessary condition of any recovery, and your mind definitely needs rest from time to time.
Speaking of new perspectives, when travelling, you will inevitably meet a lot of new people. Some of them will become friends of yours; some will remain strangers. Psychologists have known that perhaps the most honest and sincere communication often occurs between strangers; this is called "the companion effect”. Useit to your advantage. Whether youneed advice, help, or a person who would quietly listen to you as you share your hardships, there is no better opportunity to get all this from strangers while travelling. Travelling can not solve your problems but will help you recover from yourmental wounds, get rid of the excessive stress, and give you the skills to deal with your hardships as you return home.
32. While in a difficult situation, people think the suggestion “You just need to gosomewhere”______..
A. annoying B. surprising C. practical D. useful
33. What does the advice to travel really mean in this passage?
A. Finding a temple and living with the monks.
B. Giving up your duties and departing to Nepal.
C. Starting a small journey and getting yourself refreshed.
D. Forgetting everything and starting a trip around the world.
34. What does the word “ it ” ( Para. 4) refer to?
A. A trip. B. The communication. C. A new perspective. D. The companion effect.
35. What is the probable title for this passage?
A. Sincere Communication Is a Way Out of Problems
B. Travelling Offers New Perspectives in Life Situation
C. Going Through Hard Times Needs Help and Sympathy
D. Travelling Is the Best Way to Escape from Problems
