III. Reading Cmprehensin
Sectin A
Directins: Fr each blank in the fllwing passage there are fur wrds r phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the wrd r phrase that best fits the cntext.
A filler wrd is an apparently meaningless wrd, phrase, r sund that marks a pause r hesitatin in speech. Als knwn as a pause filler r hesitatin frm. Sme f the cmmn filler wrds in English are um, uh, er, ah, like, kay, right, and yu knw. Althugh filler wrds “may have fairly minimal lexical (词汇的) cntent,” ntes linguist Barbara A. Fx, “they can play a strategic syntactic (句法的) rle in a(n) (41) ________ cnversatin”. What appears t be a filler wrd may als be a hlphrase (整句字) (42) ________ the cntext. “Hey, hey, shh, shh, shh. Cme n. Be sensitive t the fact that ther peple are nt cmfrtable talking abut emtinal (43) ________. Um, yu knw, I am, I'm fine with that, peple”.
Mdern linguists led by Lenard Blmfield in 1933 call these “hesitatin frms”—the sunds f stammering (uh), stuttering (um, um), thrat-clearing (ahem!), stalling (well, um, that is), interjected when the speaker is searching wrds r (44) ________ fr the next thught. Yu knw that “y’knw” is amng the mst cmmn f these (45) ________ frms. Its meaning is nt the imperius “yu understand” r even the ld interrgatry “d yu get it?”. It is given as, and taken t be, merely a filler phrase, (46) ________ t fill a beat in the flw f sund, nt unlike like, in its new sense f, like, a filler wrd…
These staples f mdern filler cmmunicatin—I mean, y’knw, like—can als be used as “tee-up wrds”. In ld times, pinter phrases r tee-up wrds were “get this, wuld yu believe? and are yu ready?”. The (47) ________ f these rib-nudging phrases was—are yu ready—t make the pint, t fcus the listener's attentin n what was t fllw... If the (48) ________ is t tee up a pint, we shuld accept “y' knw” and its friends as a mildly (49) ________ spken punctuatin, the articulated cln (冒号) that signals “fcus n this”… If the purpse is t grab a mment t think, we shuld allw urselves t wnder: Why are filler phrases needed at all? What (50) ________ the speaker t fill the mment f silence with any sund at all?
Why d sme peple fill the air with nn-wrds and sunds? Fr sme, it is a sign f nervusness; they fear silence and experience speaker (51) ________. Recent research at Clumbia University suggests anther reasn. Clumbia psychlgists guessed that speakers fill pauses when (52) ________ fr the next wrd. T investigate this (53) ________, they cunted the use f filler wrds used by lecturers in bilgy, chemistry, and mathematics, where the subject matter uses scientific definitins that limit the variety f wrd chices (54) ________ t the speaker. They then cmpared the number f filler wrds used by teachers in English, art histry, and philsphy, where the subject matter is less (55) ________ and mre pen t wrd chices.

Directins: Read the fllwing three passages. Each passage is fllwed by several questins r unfinished statements. Fr each f them there are fur chices marked A, B, c and D. Chse the ne that fits best accrding t the infrmatin given in the passage yu have just read.
(A)
Amng all the different types f jurney that peple undertake there are als thse f a spiritual nature. Sme f the trips we d in ur lives are purely fr pleasure, sme are meant t make us strnger, smetimes we travel t explre and learn, and in all f these undertakings we grw and becme wiser.
There is a lt we can learn frm the land that surrunds us and the best way t acquire that knwledge is by traveling and experiencing. This ancient abriginal initiatin ritual invlves exactly this: a lng spiritual hike acrss the native land. Althugh widely knwn as "Walkabut," in later years the ritual has been referred t as "temprary mbility," because the frmer is ften used as an insulting term in Australian culture.
A yung man n Walkabut
Histrically speaking, the walkabut is a ceremny f passage in which yung (adlescent) Abriginal Australians undertake a jurney that will help "transfrm" them int adults. The jurney is usually made between the ages f 10 and 16. During this jurney which can last fr up t six mnths, the individual is required t live and survive all alne in the wilderness.
This is nt an easy thing t d, especially nt fr teenagers. That is why nly thse wh have prven themselves mentally and physically ready are allwed t prceed with the walkabut. Only the elders f the grup decide whether it is time r nt fr the child t d it. The children are nt cmpletely unprepared fr the jurney. During the years befre the walkabut, the elders instruct them and give them advice abut the ceremny and adult life in general; they have been passed the "secrets" f the tribe, the knwledge abut their wrld.
Abriginal wman
Thse wh are initiated in the walkabut are als decrated with bdy paint and rnaments. Smetimes they are marked with a permanent symbl n their bdies. In sme cases, a tth is remved frm the muth, r the nse r ears f the initiated are pierced. Traditinal walk abut clthes include nly a simple lin clth and nthing mre.
During a walkabut, a yung persn can smetimes travel a distance f ver a 1, 000miles. In rder t survive this lng hike, the participant in the walkabut must be able t make their wn shelter and must be capable f btaining fd and water fr themselves.
That means he needs t hunt, catch fish, and als recgnize and use edible and healing plants. The initiated yungster must learn t identify plants such as bush tmates, Illawarra plums, quandngs, lilly-pillies, Muntari berries, wattle seeds, Kakadu plums, and bunya nuts.
56. What can be referred frm the first tw paragraphs f the passage?
A. Australians like t engage in all kinds f travel.
B. Peple can gain knwledge thrugh travel.
C. Travel is usually purely fr pleasure.
D. Walkabut is a lng spiritual jurney.
57. What d we knw abut the yung Abriginal Australians?
A. All yung Australians are required t live alne in the wilderness.
B. The difficulties they experienced in hiking turned them int adults.
C. Walkabut shuld nly be dne if they are mentally and physically prepared.
D. Walkabut is an unprepared test fr the yung Abriginal Australians.
58. Accrding t the passage, what skill des a persn need t acquire in the walkabut?
A. Identifying directins.B. Preserving physical strength.
C. Planting plants.D. Hunting and fishing.
59. Which f the fllwing ptins is true abut walkabut?
A. Only peple wh have experienced trture are qualified t the walkabut.
B. Wmen must decrate themselves with bdy paint and rnaments.
C. T survive, the participants need t acquire certain survival skills.
D. Native wmen are nt required t participate in the walkabut.
(B)
Running is a great frm f exercise. Hwever, running under certain cnditins can cause a variety f injuries.
The Natinal Running Assciatin recently released the results f its latest survey n cmmn running injuries, as illustrated in the picture abve. Accrding t the survey results, the mst reprted cases are related t knee injury and muscle pull, with the frmer ccurring a little less frequently. Abut a quarter f the respndents say they have had plantar fasciitis (足底角膜炎), The number f respndents suffering frm Achilles tendnitis (腱炎) r shin splints is nearly twice that f thse with stress fracture (应力性骨折), which is als what fewest respndents reprt.
There are tw main causes f running injury: structural imbalance and training vlume. Structural imbalance ccurs when a certain muscle grup is weak and requires ther muscle grups t help. The bdy adapts t stresses and becmes strnger. This is the basic principle f training. Hwever, if yu push t fast r run t far, yu can stress the bdy in such a way that it never has time t fully recver. Training prgressin and mderatin are the keys t aviding veruse injury. Here are several ways t avid running injury.
Prepare yur bdy fr running by walking.
Understand yur bdy type and be patient.
Fllw a sensible training plan r find a cach.
Wear the right shes.
The cause f the injury is nt easy t diagnse. Fr example, a ft prblem can cause a prblem in the knees r back. Finding and treating the cause f a running injury is the jb f a trained dctr. Mre imprtantly, listen t yur bdy and recgnize the signs f ver-training s that yu can avid running injury.
60. Which grup f injuries best fits the blanks numbered ①, ②, ③ and ④ in the picture?
A. ①knee injury; ②muscle pull; ③stress fracture; ④shin splints
B. ①muscle pull; ②knee injury; ③stress fracture; ④Achilles tendnitis.
C. ①knee injury; ②muscle pull; ③shin splints; ④stress fracture
D. ①muscle pull; ②knee injury; ③Achilles tendnitis; ④stress fracture
61. Accrding t the passage, which f the fllwing leads t structural imbalance?
A. Using sme muscles mre intensely than thers.
B. Training weak muscles mre ften than strng nes.
C. Adapting yur bdy t stresses slwly.
D. Giving yur bdy little time t recver.
62. Accrding t the passage, if yu want t find ut why yur back and knees hurt after running, yu had better ________
A. turn t a cach fr helpB. cnsult a trained dctr
C. understand yur bdy type firstD. wear anther pair f running shes
(C)
Cnservatinists g t war ver whether humans are the measure f nature's value. New Cnservatinists argue such trade-ffs are necessary in this human-dminated era. And they supprt “re-wilding”, a cncept riginally prpsed by Sule where peple reduce ecnmic grwth and withdraw frm landscapes, which then return t nature.
New Cnservatinists believe the withdrawal culd happen tgether with ecnmic grwth. The Califrnia-based Breakthrugh Institute believes in a future where mst peple live in cities and rely less n natural resurces fr ecnmic grwth.
They wuld get fd frm industrial agriculture, including genetically mdified fds, desalinatin, intensified meat prductin and aquaculture, all f which have a smaller land ftprint. And they wuld get their energy frm renewables and natural gas.
Driving these prfund shifts wuld be greater efficiency f prductin, where mre prducts culd be manufactured frm fewer inputs. And sme unsustainable cmmdities wuld be replaced in the market by ther, greener nes—natural gas fr cal, fr instance, explained Michael Shellenberger, president f the Breakthrugh Institute. Nature wuld, in essence, be decupled frm the ecnmy.
And then he added a cautin: “We are nt suggesting decupling as the pattern t save the wrld, r that it slves all the prblems r eliminates all the trade-ffs.”
Pessimists may say all this sunds t utpian, but Breakthrugh maintains the wrld is already n this path tward decupling. Nwhere is this mre evident than in the United States, accrding t Idd Wernick, a research schlar at the Rckefeller University, wh has examined the natin's use f 100 main cmmdities.
Wernick and his clleagues lked at data carefully frm the U.S. Gelgical Survey Natinal Minerals Infrmatin Center, which keeps a recrd f cmmdities used frm 1900 thrugh the present day. They fund that the use f 36 cmmdities (sand, ire re, cttn, etc.) in the U.S. ecnmy had peaked.
Anther 53 cmmdities (nitrgen, timber, beef, etc.) are being used mre efficiently per dllar value f grss dmestic prduct than in the pre-1970s era. Their use wuld peak sn, Wernick said.
Only 11 cmmdities (industrial diamnd, indium, chicken, etc.) are increasing in use (Greenwire, Nv. 6), and mst f these are emplyed by industries in small quantities t imprve systems prcesses. Chicken use is rising because peple are eating less beef, a desirable develpment since pultry cultivatin has a smaller envirnmental ftprint.
The numbers shw the United States has nt intensified resurce cnsumptin since the 1970s even while increasing its GDP and ppulatin, said Jesse Ausubel f the Rckefeller University.
“It seems like the 20th-century expectatin we had, we were always assuming the future invlved greater cnsumptin f resurces,” Ausubel said. “But what we are seeing in the develped cuntries is, f curse, peaks.”
63. What des the underlined wrd “trade-ffs” refer t in the first paragraph?
A. The balance between human develpment and natural eclgy.
B. The prfitability f imprt and exprt trade.
C. The cnsumptin f natural resurces by industrial develpment.
D. The difficult situatin f ecnmic grwth.
64. Which f the fllwing is true f the views f the new envirnmentalists?
A. They believe that mankind shuld live in frests with rich vegetatin.
B. They believe that mankind will need mre natural resurces in the future.
C. They believe that mankind is the master f the whle universe.
D. They believe that mankind shuld limit ecnmic grwth.
65. What can we infer frm the last paragraph f the passage?
A. Natural resurces cannt supprt ecnmic develpment.
B. Mre resurce cnsumptin will nt ccur in a certain perid f time.
C. Excessive resurce cnsumptin will nt affect the eclgical envirnment.
D. All resurce cnsumptin in develped cuntries has reached a peak.
66. What is the passage mainly abut?
A. Urbanizatin and re-wildness.
B. Human existence and industrial develpment.
C. Sciecnmic develpment and resurce cnsumptin.
D. Cmmdity trading and raw material develpment.
Sectin C
Directins: Read the fllwing passage. Fill in each blank with a prper sentence given in the bx. Each sentence can be used nly nce. Nte that there are tw mre sentences than yu need.
A. S why d these mvies fail?
B. The film, in cntrast, failed t bring its audience alng fr the ride.
C. Game adaptatins" issues seem nt t be due t a lack f resurces.
D. But the return n investment is nt encuraging, with a number failing t recup csts.
E. The ptential t appeal t a devted fan base makes these mvies an attractive prspect.
F. Hwever, a cmmn criticism was that it was full f bring expsitin and mstly uninteresting characters".
T Big, T Expensive and T Silly - Why Vide Game Mvies Fail
Film adaptatins f vide games have fallen n the unsuspecting viewing public like a Drp Bear. At first they lk harmless enugh, but they ften leave viewers bruised and regretful.
These mvies are plentiful. (67) ________ Yet despite big budgets and quality talent bth in frnt f and behind the camera, mst vide game mvies are cmmercial and critical failures.
________ The answer cmes dwn t a cmplex mix f cnflicting audience demands and cmmercial realities. Vide game mvies ften assume that the audience wants, r is interested in, the game's legend and backgrund. In fairness, this is ut f fear that fans will? Criticise legend changes, alienating a key demgraphic. But games reveal legend prgressively ver tens f hurs f gameplay, whereas mvies have a small prtin f that time. This tensin risks creating bring expsitin and cmplex stry lines. Fr example, Warcraft details the rigins f cnflict between humans and rcs (兽), the central cnflict in the game’s wrld.（69）________
Additinally, excessive adherence t the surce material extends t using silly plt devices withut spending enugh time establishing prper reasns fr their existence. In games, these can wrk due t the "unspken but cmmnly understd lgic f ' this is a vide game' ”. In a game, peple accept incnsistent narrative devices because they facilitate interesting interactin and are the quickest rute twards allwing gamers t, say, sht hell-mnsters n Mars.
The game series became increasingly cmplex , as the player-cntrlled prtagnist (主角) parkured his way thrugh time perids like Renaissance Italy and Revlutinary America. The incredibility f the narrative wrld paled beside the fun f vaulting frm rftp t rftp in15th-century Flrence.
（70）________ The plt—an riginal stry which retains the key elements f the games—was criticized as " scattered and fractured" , " hastily explained" and " disrienting". Vanity Fair pinted ut that. It's nt clear why any f this is happening" and RgerEbert.cm summed it up as: Characters[talking] in quiet whispers abut the cmplex methds they use t realize their prly-hidden agendas.
IV. Summary Writing
Directins: Read the fllwing passage. Summarize the main idea and the main pint(s) f the passage in n mre than 60 wrds. Use yur wn wrds as far as pssible.
Ann Grand: A Visual Thinker
Ann Grand is a visual thinker. When smebdy speaks t her, the wrds are instantly translated int pictures, like a vide in her head. Unlike mst peple, her thughts mve frm vide-like images t generalizatins and cncepts. Furthermre, her memries usually appear in her imaginatin in rder f time, and the images visualized are always specific. Fr example, if she thinks abut a chimney, she sees detailed pictures, like the ne in her ld huse and then thse in her hmetwn. That ne wrd can turn int a full-length vide in her head. Grand's mind wrks like the Internet search engine which prduces dzens f images f an bject a user is searching fr.
Visual thinking has enabled Grand t build entire systems in her imaginatin which wrks similarly t a cmputer prgram because it can prduce three-dimensinal design simulatins (三维仿真设计). This was imprtant t her as an equipment designer fr the livestck industry. Befre she started cnstructin n her designs, she wuld test-run the equipment in her mind. She frmed mental pictures f her designs in every pssible situatin, with different sizes and breeds f cattle and in different weather cnditins. This prcess made it pssible fr her t crrect mistakes befre cnstructin started.
Grande’s mind is als sensitive t details, which was imprtant in her wrk with cattle. Her sharp awareness f the visual wrld led t ntewrthy bservatins abut animals.

First, the shrt vide is f great cnvenience that the ther tw methds d nt have. It can be dne with just a few electrnic devices at yur fingertips. The stry n the shrt vides are vivid and tempt the yungsters t enjy the backgrund f the stry. Secnd, making shrt vides is mre efficient. Every student can participate and tell abut the heres he/ she admires. Students can watch a shrt vide in a shrt break. Third, shrt vides are mre widely distributed. In the Internet age, everyne likes t scrll shrt vides in their spare time.
