II. Grammar and Vocabulary

Section A

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

Are you the kind of person who hated school? Or are you more like Michael Nicholson,

who can't stop (21)_______(learn)? He currently has 30 degrees including 22 master's and a doctorate! If you're also passionate about studying, you might be a philomath - a person who loves to learn and study. The word comes from Greek (22) _______ ‘phil' meaning ‘a lover of’ and ‘math' meaning ‘learning’.

Humans are all philomaths to an extent - our brain (23) _______ (programme) to be curious. (24) _______ (make) sense of the world, we are eager to learn and understand. But it is also because of something called neoteny. This is a term that (25) _______ (refer) to the adolescent characteristics of some animals, including humans, being maintained into adulthood. One of these traits is neuroplasticity, (26) _______ function is to make our brain stay flexible and give us the ability to learn throughout our lives. Many creatures which are genetically close to (27) _______ can't do this and only learn during their adolescence.

But for every person who loves learning, there are plenty who can't stand it. Lots of people remember their school days as being boring or even pointless. Why is this? Educational experts have suggested that (28) _______ a concept or idea is too complex or dull, it becomes harder to link old and new ideas together. If that's the case, we lose motivation and absorb less information. As a result, (29) _______ people are negatively exposed to at school may lead to them avoiding learning opportunities in later life.

So, don't let a bad educational experience prevent you learning something new as an adult. Evolution has made us lifelong learners, (30) _______ take advantage of your biology and discover your inner philomath. Who knows what you could achieve?

Section B

Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

It happens just about every time I go to a restaurant with my daughter. I open the menu and scan the options. Then I glance at the children's menu. Oftentimes, the menu is pretty 31________, with the same pasta and tomato sauce. But the items on the children's menu are usually less expensive, and I'll think to myself: Wow, good deal.

If I think again for a moment, though, the deal isn't really a deal. After all, I estimated the cost of the pasta 32________ on the adult menu, not on the actual cost of making some bow-tie noodles and serving them with a red sauce.

My faulty 33________ is the product of anchoring, a cognitive bias (认知偏差) that can weaken our critical thinking. According to researchers, anchoring is when people rely on 34________ but easily accessible facts to make judgments. Our minds give too much weight to initial impressions or numbers that influence our 35________ thoughts. In my case, the prices on the adult menu 36________ or anchored my judgment about the value of the items on the children's menu.

Studies show that anchoring effects 37________ no matter how weak the connection between the anchor and the actual decision. One study found that “estimates of an athlete's performance were influenced by the number on his jersey (运动衫)." In other words, people thought that an athlete with a higher jersey number was better than an athlete with a lower number, all else being equal.

Anchoring affects all kinds of decisions, even those made by experts who should know better. In particular, a recent study shows that anchoring is far more common in the financial world than 38______ believed, with substantial anchoring effects influencing performance in the stock market. A study showed that investors valued firms more highly if the firms had higher stock prices. So, if two companies have the same financial 39______ except that Company X has fewer shares at a higher price than Company Y, then Company X's shares will sell better over the long run than Company Y's. Why? Because the stock price - the anchor - enhances the company's perceived value.

The phenomenon of anchoring shows that while we think of ourselves as rational and logical beings, unrelated details can have a(n) 40______ influence on our reasoning. The best solution is to improve critical thinking skills. Otherwise, you might be a victim of anchoring, dragged down by your bias, whether you notice it or not.

III. Reading Comprehension

Section A

Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

Online Arts

Fancy an evening at the theatre but can't face sitting there for hours? Theatre companies will happily offer live performances online. Want to see a band but 41_______ by the high ticket prices? No worries. Many mainstream bands allow their concerts to be 42_______ free of charge. Now galleries are getting 43_______ too, enabling sofa-bound art lovers to wander around the world's greatest art institutions, all in high resolution (分辨率) and without fear of getting sore feet. But is it really the same as seeing paintings in the flesh? I decided to find out.

I head to the Museo Reina Sofia in Madrid, one of my favourite galleries. I enjoy myself racing past sculptures and staring at various portraits in a manner that I would disapprove of were I actually there. There's a lot to be said for 44_______ art this way. Admission is free and there aren't any queues. 45_______ you won't have to tolerate the noise of fellow visitors as they loudly broadcast their knowledge of the oil paintings on exhibit.

But it's no 46_______ for the real thing. Billions of pixels (像素) 47_______ to accurately transmit the scale or colour or atmosphere of a painting or convey the sense of wonder you feel when standing in front of it. And only in a gallery do you have the opportunity to 48_______ the rest of the world, engage with a work and view it in context. My enduring thought, while I am walking around the Museo Reina Sofia 49_______, is how much nicer it would be if I were

literally in Madrid.

50_______ in almost all its forms is meant to be a shared experience, whether you are sitting in an opera house or wandering around a gallery, It is also a ritual, one that is about so much more than the cultural event itself. Often the pleasure is as much in the 51_______ as the execution (执行). Remove the preparation part where you imagine how it will be, and you 52_______ a vital part of the experience.

Lying on the sofa, with computers, phones and remote controls readily 53_______, is something I routinely do. But when it comes to art appreciation, even a lazy man like me can recognize the basic 54_______ to leave the house. Ultimately, it's a bit like watching holidays on TV. Yes, you can cut out the sweat and the aching legs. By staying at home, you can stare at the locals without embarrassment and 55_______ the finest views. But it's just not the same if you can't feel the sun on your face.

Section B

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

(A)

During recent years legends have grown up among people who live near the park, legends of life among the treetops. One story was of a young, handsome man who had been spotted from time to time among the branches. This rumor about a modern Tarzan (人猿泰山) turned out to be true. The young man had been living in the treetops for eight years until discovered by the city authorities.

It is a touching tale. Bob Redman, brought up by his mother in a tiny Manhattan apartment, had always been addicted to trees. When he was 14, he went into the park and built himself a tree house. It was the first of 13 houses, each one more elaborate than the last. 'I like to be in trees,' Redman explained to a reporter from the New York Times. I like to be up, away from everything. I enjoy staying alone.'

Redman went to great pains to hide his tree houses, building them in neglected corners of the park and camouflaging them with branches and green paint. Friends used to come to visit him, sometimes as many as 12 people at a time, bringing sandwiches and radios and books and torches.

The park authorities quickly became aware of his activities. However, the houses were often not detected for long periods of time. Some lasted as long as a whole year before they were found and destroyed by officials, with a mournful Bob Redman watching from a distance. His magnificent final house went unnoticed for four months before Bob was awoken one morning with the words: ‘Come down! The party's over!'

Rather than being thrown into jail, Redman was offered a job. He is now a professional gardener and tree climber for the Central Park. However, he has had to promise not to build any more tree houses. He says he cannot believe that a job so perfect for him could possibly exist.

In our busy, competitive world, I suppose it is comforting to know that a man like Bob Redman exists.

56. Which of the following statements about Bob Redman is TRUE?

A. He built 14 tree houses altogether.

B. He rented his final house to some friends.

C. He was raised amid trees in the countryside.

D. He gave an interview to the New York Times.

57. The bold word “camouflaging” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to

A. decorating

B. hiding

C. equipping

D. integrating

58. The underlined sentence in paragraph 4 suggests that

A. parties should not be held overnight

B. parties are not allowed in the Central Park

C. no more tree houses should exist in the Central Park

D. the owner of the tree house should get down to work

59. Which might be the best title of the passage?

A. Tarzan of the Central Park

B. Locked Up or Breaking Free

C. A Special Job Hunter in New York

D. Tree Houses - the Ultimate Habitat

60. Which word best fts the question mark“?” in the passage?

A. INVITATION

B. APPROACH

C. CONTRACT

D. SUBMISSION

61. According to the passage, the hotel to be built will be mainly intended for _______.

A. holiday makers

B. conference attendees

C. architectural firms

D. construction workers

62. HHCC's final decision will be based on the best design of _______.

A. the basement

B. the first floor

C. the ground floor

D. the whole building

(C)

Trust me - I am expedition doctor

Ever since I was a young child, I've had a taste for adventure, but I never imagined I'd be able to satisfy this passion at regular intervals because of my chosen career.

My work as an expedition (探险队) doctor has taken me all over the world. However, my favourite trips, and the ones in which I now specialize, are those involving mountains. Never do I feel more inspired by nature than when I look up at their towering peaks and begin to prepare myself mentally for the challenges ahead.

I trained as a doctor in the UK, but there was little in that training to prepare me for binding up a broken leg during a storm on the side of a mountain! In fact, I'd say that medical skills come some way down the list of job requirements, after endurance, flexibility, problem-solving and communication.

This kind of medicine is a million miles away from the controlled, germ-free environment of a hospital, and your medical kit basically consists of whatever you can carry, so you sometimes have to be prepared to improvise (即兴做). For example, I've learned that some drugs can be used for several conditions, and I've even had to resort to cutting branches off a small tree to make a stick to support a broken arm.

That isn't to say that you can't train to be an expedition doctor; on the contrary, there are some excellent courses available. Not only do they teach medical techniques, but also practical skills such as carrying out risk assessments, crossing rivers safely and using satellite phones. The first course I did included a session on expedition dentistry, though I must admit I still don't like the idea of pulling out someone's tooth!

I do most of my work for adventure holiday companies, travelling to remote places. When I started out, these holidays were quite rare, but they have become much more mainstream now that we've all seen celebrities climbing Kilimanjaro or watched reality shows about people

surviving in jungles.

I do have mixed feelings about all these people with large amounts of disposable income coming to poor areas just for their own enjoyment, so I try to make sure that the companies I work for have high ethical standards and benefit the local communities. And of course, tourism provides employment, and also opens the eyes of rich visitors to the hardship that many people are forced to endure.

I realize that this kind of life isn't for everyone, but I'd recommend that all doctors try it at least once, if only to make them appreciate the comforts of their usual working environment!

63. The author feels that he has been _________.

A. obliged to choose his career

B. lucky with his job

C. obsessed with his adventure

D. inspired by his patients

64. According to the passage, what can be learned about medical skills for an expedition doctor?

A. They are less important than practical skills.

B. They are strictly required as the most important.

C. They are adequately attained in medical schools.

D. They are an underlying part of practical skills.

65. Why do expedition doctors sometimes have to use unusual techniques?

A. They keep their equipment in a backpack.

B. Things can happen that they don't expect.

C. They don't have the resources of a hospital.

D. They are required by the patients on the trip.

66. The author works for ethical companies because _________.

A. they organize expeditions in the remote areas he enjoys visiting

B. they appreciate the comforts of the unusual working environments

C. he wants to make sure that his clients are safe at all times during the expedition

D. he feels uncomfortable about the difference between rich tourists and poor local people

Section C

Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

Eating meat is not a crime against the planet - if it's done right

I have huge admiration for George Monbiot, a well-known columnist. His work has highlighted the urgent need to reduce our CO2 emissions and switch to greener energy. He has also shown intensive farming's role in the dramatic levels of species decline and biodiversity loss. Much of what he writes is in line with my stand. 67________

It is undeniable that the farming revolution of the 1950s has started a war on nature. These intensive ways of producing food are not only polluting our land and waterways, but are heating up our planet and contributing to a crisis in human health. We need to change the way we eat and produce food, and fast.

68________ But in a recent article, he wrote that organic, pasture-fed beef and lamb are the “world's most damaging farm products." He criticizes “chefs and foodies" like me for focusing on regenerative grazing - farming that aims to repair, rebuild, revitalize and restore ecosystem function. His alternative vision includes a revolution in creating food in labs from microbes and water.

Although not opposed to the idea of lab-grown food, I am much more for small-scale community-driven farming. 69________ Methods that regenerative farmers propose have shown how non-intensive livestock, when managed well, can increase topsoil more than previously thought, which can then build up biomass (carbon) and keep precious rainwater. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN, small-scale farmers currently produce about a third of our food.

70________ These inventions in new food technology are heavily patented, pushing the future of our food supply further into the hands of an increasingly small and powerful collection of multinational food players. In our race to look for better systems of food production. We cannot afford to ignore the risks.

IV. Summary Writing

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

71. The problem of electronic waste

We have gradually come to realize that in two ways in particular, modern hi-tech can be bad for the planet. The first is its energy use; the worldwide scale of information technology is so enormous that electronics now produce fully two percent of global carbon emissions, which is about the same as the highly controversial emissions of aeroplanes. The other is the hardware, when it comes to the end of its natural life. This, increasingly, is pretty short. We have hardly noticed this important stream of waste, so much so that a Greenpeace report on the untraced and unreported e-waste two years ago referred to it as 'the hidden flow'. We need to be aware of it.

The latest United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) report estimates that worldwide, electronic waste is mounting by about 40 million tons a year. So what can we do

about it?

The European Union has recognized the problem by adopting a key principle: producer responsibility. In other words, making it the duty of manufacturers of electronic goods to ensure their safe disposal at the end of their lives. In practice, an EU regulation now means that electronics dealers must either take back the equipment they sold you, or help to finance a network of drop-off points, such as public recycling sites. Its main feature is quite ambitious: it aims to deal with ‘everything with a plug'.

The new UN report suggests that all countries could do something about the problem with a change in design. Groups such as Greenpeace have led the way in putting pressure on major manufacturing companies to find substitutes for the toxic chemicals inside their products. Encouragingly, they have had some success in forcing them to develop non-poisonous alternatives to these. This may be the real way forward.
