Imagine meeting a foreigner for the first time but he/she is fluent in your language. There may appear to be no _____51_____ communication barrier. Would you adapt the tone of your voice, or the spacing of pauses in your speech How about _____52_____ your body language and facial expressions, depending on the background of the person in front of you
These are just a small part of the changes in behavior that can improve your “cultural intelligence”, or CQ. There is growing evidence that suggests that they are well _____53_____ learning.
“The number one predictor of your success in today’s _____54_____ world is not your IQ, not your resume, and not even your expertise,” writes social scientist David Livermore. “It’s your CQ.”
Much of the research on CQ has been done by Professor Soon Ang with the Nanyang Technological University. In the late 1990s, her job was dealing with the “Y2K bug.” It was a software bug that was feared would bring down the world’s computer networks. Ang put together an international team of programmers to update computer systems in Singapore. They were some of the brightest _____55_____ in the industry. However, Ang soon found that these people just couldn’t work together. Often, _____56_____ members would appear to agree on a solution, but then carry it out in completely different ways. Clearly, it wasn’t a question of language skills or expertise. Instead, she saw that these employees were held back by each other’s cultural differences.
This would lead Ang to work with psychologist P. Christopher Earley. Together they built a theory of CQ. They defined it as “the capability to _____57_____ effectively in a variety of cultural contexts.”
Someone with a low CQ might view everyone else’s behavior through his own cultural lens. If he comes from a more _____58_____ environment, for instance, and notices that his Japanese colleagues are very quiet in a meeting, he may think that they are being unfriendly. In aviation, such cultural differences might cause a(n) _____59_____ in communication between pilots and air traffic controllers. The consequences would be unthinkable.
A person at the top of the scale, meanwhile, might realize that silence is one of the _____60_____ of respect. In Japanese culture, feedback often won’t be given unless it is asked for. As a result, he/she will offer suitable opportunities within the meeting for others to provide their opinions.
III. Reading Comprehension (60)
Section A (30’)
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.
(A)
In the 1960s, Douglas McGregor, one of the key thinkers in the art of management, developed the now famous Theory X and Theory Y. Theory X is the idea that people instinctively ___61___ work and will do anything to avoid it. Theory Y is the view that everyone has the potential to find satisfaction in work.
In any case, despite so much evidence to the ___62___, many managers still agree to Theory X. They believe, ___63___, that their employees need constant supervision if they are to work effectively, or that decisions must be imposed from ___64___ without consultation. This, of course, makes for authoritarian (专制的) managers.
Different cultures have different ways of ___65___ people. Unlike authoritarian management, some cultures, particularly in Asia, are well known for the consultative nature of decision-making—all members of the department or work group are asked to ___66___ to this process. This is management by the collective opinion. Many western companies have tried to imitate such Asian ways of doing things, which are based on general ___67___. Some experts say that women will become more effective managers than men because they have the power to reach common goals in a way that traditional ___68___ managers cannot. A recent trend has been to encourage employees to use their own initiative, to make decisions on their own without ___69___ managers first. This empowerment has been part of the trend towards downsizing: ___70___ the number of management layers in companies. After de-layering in this way, a company may be ___71___ with just a top level of senior managers, front-line managers and employees with direct contact with the public. Empowerment takes the idea of delegation (委托) much further than has ___72___ been the case.
Empowerment and delegation mean new forms of management control to ___73___ that the overall business plan is being followed, and that operations become more profitable under the new organization, rather than less. Another trend is off-site or ___74___ management, where teams of people linked by e-mail and the Internet work on projects from their own houses. Project managers evaluate the ___75___ of the team members in terms of what they produce for projects, rather than the amount of time they spend on them.

For centuries, the main way to Galicia, Spain’s northwestern corner, was on foot, on the pilgrims’ ( 朝圣者的) trail to Santiago de Compostela. ____76____ roads meant that, until a decade or two ago, the drive from Madrid took nine hours. Recent improvements have ____77____ the trip to the closest Galician city, Ourense, to about five.
Now the journey can be made in two hours and 15 minutes, ____78____ Galicia’s first connection with Spain’s enviable highspeed railway network. Next year, the line should be ____79____ to Santiago, the regional capital, and Coruna, its biggest city. “Cinderella can now travel in a bigger and more comfortable car,” said Ourense’s mayor, Gonzalo Pérez Jacome, using his nickname for his city, which he says is treated like an unloved stepchild. No one wants to be ____80____ -- Spain has the biggest highspeed rail network in the world after China’s -- but he ____81____ that the new extension will bring dramatic changes.
Spaniards (西班牙人) have long been ____82____ poorer rural areas for better opportunities in richer cities. Politicians in rural areas often complain about this. But it is not obvious that pricey infrastructure (基础设施) will make a(n) ____83____ to stop it. Mr. Jacome notes that Zamora, where recently the highspeed trains’ last stop in its way to Galicia, has gained weekend tourists, but ____84____ to lose population since their arrival in 2015.
In any case, Galicia has been doing well. It was once a symbol of isolation, poverty, and “the end of the world”, as the name of its westernmost point, Cape Finisterre, indicates. So many Galicians emigrated that Gallego is still the ____85____ of “Spaniard” in parts of Latin America. But GDP per person, 66% of the national average in 1955, is now 92% of it. Angel de la Fuente, a senior economist, ____86____ fish processing, car-making and clothing and reasonably business-friendly politics. What’s worth mentioning is that Inditex, the parent company of Zara and other brands, is based there. Nevertheless, he says a single cause of its ____87____ is hard to identify.
Another fix for Spain’s regional ____88____ has been put forward by the Socialist-led national government: opening new state bodies outside the capital. Many leaders in the conservative People’s Party (PP) say this would be pointless. Galicia’s leader, the PP’s moderate Alberto Nuiez Feijóo, ____89____, has a warmer reaction, noting that it doesn’t ____90____ to put the country’s Institute of Oceanography in Spain’s landlocked capital, Madrid.

Section B (22’)
Directions: Read the following three passage. 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 read.
(A)
Salt was so valuable in ancient Rome that soldiers were sometimes paid with it. In fact, the word salary comes from the Latin word “sal”, for salt. When a soldier was doing an awful job, his paycheck might be cut, which is how we got the expression “not worth his salt.” Salt can still be valuable today. Amethyst Bamboo 9x salt, which rings up at $398 a pound, may be the most expensive in the world. This pricey stuff takes a lot of time to produce — it’s roasted nine times inside a bamboo pole at temperatures over 1,400 degrees F.
Historically, salt’s value came from its ability to preserve food. Venice, Italy, may be famous for its canals now, but salt imports helped its rise as an important trade power by the end of the 13th century. Salt also took on a great deal of symbolic value, like “old salt” referring to an experienced sailor. Salt is mentioned so many times in the Bible. For instance, “the salt of the earth” is used to describe a person who is dependable; “a covenant of salt” means a firm promise.
Most people know about the health risks associated with sodium (钠)，but reducing your intake isn’t always easy. Even foods that don’t taste salty may contain it. If you are looking for sodium-free flavoring, try garlic, pepper, rosemary and other spices or herbs (香料或草药).
Still, we all need at least some salt. It promotes the transport of nutrients and oxygen, allows nerves to send messages, and helps our muscle work. The average adult’s body contains about 250 grams of sodium.
Consumption of too much salt can be deadly. For older folks especially, a heavy hand with the saltshaker may raise blood pressure, causing hypertension and hurt the head. A study of 975 people between the ages of 60 to 80 and with high blood pressure found that reducing sodium in their diets was associated with lower risk of headache.
91. Choose one expression with “salt” and make the following sentence logic: “You can always count on Jerry, who is truly __________.”
A. worth his salt B. old salt C. a covenant of salt D. the salt of the earth
92. What can be inferred from the passage
A. The more expensive salt is, the longer it takes to produce.
B. Old people with hypertension should choose sodium-free food.
C. Salt is much more than a simple cooking element added to food.
D. Salt imports can establish a country as an international trade power.
93. What does the underlined word “saltshaker” refer to
A. A recipe. B. A container. C. A gesture. D. A disease.
94. What is the passage mainly talking about
A. Objective knowledge of salt.
B. Advice on healthier eating habits.
C. Various amazing values of salt.
D. Tips on reducing the health risk of salt.
(B)
Glenbrook South (GBS) High School is in a suburb of Chicago, Illinois, in the United States. It is an award-winning school with a highly competent teaching staff. It has over 400 Asian Pacific American students, which account for over 17 percent of the students in the school. Of these, the majority are Korean American. This is very unusual in a state where Korean Americans are less than 1 percent of the population. The interactions of the Korean American students at GBS were the subject of an article in Asian Week magazine.
Different Korean American students react differently to being in a high school were most students are white. Professor Pyong Gap Min, an expert on Korean life in America, believes that Korean Americans in this situation can sometimes feel inhibited or ashamed of their Korean identity. Asian Week interviewed a number of GBS students, and each had a different attitude.
Alice, 18 years old “I used to spend time only with Korean American friends. Although I felt secure with those friends, I found myself motivated to form closer relationship with non-Koreans, too. I felt I was missing out on new experiences and challenges.”
Paul, 16 years old “I have some Korean American friends, but I spend most of my time with white friends. I’m often the only Asian American in the group, but I don’t mind. What I like about the white culture is that I can be more radical. I can be as loud and funny as I want to be. I don’t see as much of that among the Asian students.”
John, 17 years old “In junior high school, most of my friends were white. After coming to GBS, my sense of my Korean American identity was restored, and I decided to have mainly Korean American friends. I feel that my Korean American friends and I mainly understand each other better. For example, we understand about severe parental pressures to succeed at school; I felt my white friends couldn’t really understand.”
Without belittling the importance of what these students had to say, it’s important to remember that their opinions at this phase of their lives are bound to change as they grow into adulthood. But these honest opinions can help us better understand issues of culture relations, and their honesty might help Americans from different cultural groups to get along better in the future.
95. The passage mainly discusses __________.
A. why the state of Illinois is very special
B. how Korean American students interact among themselves and with others
C. how an Illinois high school extend a warm welcome to Korean American students
D. different opinions of the friends of Korean American students
96.Which statement best summarizes Alice’s attitude
A. She feels that her white friends don’t really understand her
B. She likes her Korean American friends but wants to have non-Korean friends too.
C. She feels she is missing out on experiences with her Korean American fiends.
D. She doesn’t feel secure in her relationships with non-Koreans.
97.The underlined word “radical” most probably means __________.
A. traditional B. expressive C. considerate D. sensitive
(C)
One morning late last autumn, I took off from London’s Heathrow Airport, and landed the next morning at Haneda Airport in Tokyo. By early afternoon, I was walking under the turning leaves of a Japanese garden, where I paused by a wooden sign at the edge of a stream. Despite having studied Japanese for years, the text on the sign—something about slippery stones ahead —included several characters I didn’t recognize, so I fired up an app I’d recently discovered. It scanned and translated all of them instantly.
Such tools —and others that can translate speech —are astonishing. But with this magic at our fingertips, is the study of foreign languages now pointless
Not at all. There are still reasons for us to invest in foreign language studies. In fact, foreign languages are more rewarding than ever, in part because technology has made them easier than ever to learn.
It’s true that many people don’t need language skills to travel these days, especially with smartphones that can translate a menu in real time. But few people would argue that the existence of calculators means we needn’t study math. Language learning is associated with enhanced memory, creativity, and concentration. It boosts overall academic performance and may also delay neurological decline as you age. For all of us, language learning is a gym for the brain.
For me, the benefits of learning a language go beyond chatting with customers on my flights to Tokyo or more easily navigating the world’s largest metropolis after touchdown. Wherever I am in the world, Japanese is a reliable and seemingly endless source of fascination and fun.
I love, for example, its onomatopoeia (拟声词). A Japanese speaker might describe snowflakes, for example, as falling hara hara (twirling down like petals) or shin shin (steadily on a cold night). Had I ever before considered the different ways snow might fall Wonders like these are obscured by translation tools, which can’t easily convey the marvelous subtleties through which meaning is formed.
Every language is also a doorway to new worlds of stories, poems and songs. And, when you take a new language on the road, it reliably brightens your journey and deepens your experiences. As more of us focus on traveling with awareness and sensitivity, the offering of a few words, however mangled (蹩脚的), is an easy courtesy.
Last month, for example, my wife and I traveled around Lithuania (立陶宛). While I won’t be dipping into a Lithuanian novel anytime Soon, I’ll never forget the word for thank you —a iū, best remembered as “achoo”—which we deployed each time we stopped for kibinai, or traditionally savory pastries. After a vacation, such far-born words are often among my favorite Souvenirs.
My love of languages has fostered enduring connections. My friendship with my college buddy Jamie, for example, was forged in our grueling first-year Japanese classes. Thirty-two years after we first struggled to master the complex Japanese grammar, I asked him what those early efforts mean to him now. In response, he likened learning a language to reading fiction. Both, Jamie said, expand our horizons by compelling us to consider the minds of others. In this way, he explained, learning a new language “is an exercise in empathy”.
I couldn’t agree more. And there’s never been a better time to take the plunge. This semester, pick a language and dive in.
98. The underlined word obscured in the sixth paragraph probably means _________.
A. reflected B. acquired C. ignored D. divided
99. Which of the following statements about the author’s learning of Japanese is NOT true
A. Learning Japanese helps the author keep him sharp-minded.
B. Learning Japanese deepens the author’s understanding of the culture.
C. The author primarily learns Japanese to facilitate communication with passengers.
D. The author’s passion for languages has cultivated lifelong friendships with like-minded individuals.
100. What does the underlined sentence in the second to last paragraph imply about both activities
A. Both can serve as a means of entertainment.
B. Both require time and effort to master.
C. Both are beneficial for brain development.
D. Both can help people put themselves in others’ shoes.
101. The author wrote this article to .
A. explain his reasons for studying Japanese
B. illustrate the limitations of translation tools
C. highlight the important link between language and culture
D. demonstrate the lasting value of learning a foreign language
Section C (8’)
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A．Once Victor hid in a lifeboat for half an hour while we searched everywhere. B．His head was completely hairless, and he was obviously unsteady. C．He and Claudine made me feel at ease as soon as I met them. D．There were only two narrow twin beds in our cabin, each covered with dark blue sheets. E. He parted the curtain and looked out of the round window of the ship. F. He jumped out as we passed below him, scaring and delighting us at the same time.
We three children were very excited when we walked up the gangway of the British flagship China Star and saw officers, crew and staff rushing around. A Chinese housekeeper led the way and helped Uncle Jean and Aunt Reine with our luggage. Victor, Claudine and I lagged behind. The housekeeper was tall and thin and towered over everyone. ______102______． As we followed him down a narrow corridor towards our cabins, Victor whispered to me, “One thing about having no hair at all on your head, you always look neat!”
Though I was still feeling nervous and tongue-tied because it had only been three days since Aunt Reine took me out of St. Joseph’s, I laughed out loud. That was the effect Victor had on people. ______103______ “Boys to the right and girls to the left,” said Uncle Jean. Our two cabins were directly opposite each other. Inside, everything was neat, bare and clean. While Aunt Reine, Claudine and I were unpacking, there was a knock on the door.
Victor stood there, wearing a bright-red and orange life-jacket. “Why are you wearing that ” Claudine protested. “Our ship hasn’t even sailed yet!” “In case the China Star starts going down. Then you’ll really be sorry you’re not wearing one yourself. Here! Let me show you something!” ______104______ Our cabin was below deck. Outside we could see nothing but deep dark water.
Claudine became alarmed. “Mama, how often does a ship sink ” she asked. Before Aunt Reine had time to reply, Victor quipped with a straight face, “Only once!” Aunt Reine and I could not help laughing in spite of ourselves. But then Victor did something my brothers would never have done. He took off his life-jacket, slipped it on his sister and showed her how to adjust the straps. ______105______ At night, our housekeeper brought in a tiny roll-out bed because there were three of us.

Section B
Directions: In section B, you will hear two passages and one longer conversation. After each passage or conversation, you will be asked several questions. The passages and conversion will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage
It is evening rush hour in the Times Square subway station—perhaps the busiest time of the day at the busiest place in the busiest city of the country. Liz Barry and Bill Wetzel have just settled into two chairs against a wall. Before them is a sign that reads, in large white letters, “TALK TO ME.”
Amazingly, for the next two hours, people do. Dozens of them. Two 17-year-old girls talk about their science class. A middle-aged man gives his views on politics. A young woman with purple hair, near tears, has recently broken with her boyfriend. She hasn’t gotten over it yet and she wants to talk.
Barry and Wetzel came to New York only a year ago, but they have already heard thousands of stories like these. They have walked the streets and avenues, set up their sign and listened.
Barry and Wetzel, in their 20s, have discovered that talking is highly healing for New Yorkers. “Taking a little time out from a busy schedule to talk to someone you’ve never met can change your whole outlook forever,” Liz Barry says.
Barry and Wetzel figure that now, after a year, is a good time to stop. They still haven’t decided what to do next, but it’s unlikely to be something as original as their “Talk to me” project.
11. Which of the following statements is true about Barry and Wetzel
12. What does the speaker think of Barry and Wetzel’s project
13. What is the passage mainly about
Questions 14 through16 are based on the following passage.
For many years, studies have shown that birth order affects personality, but new research confirms that whether you’re an older, middle or younger child in the family bears an impact on career paths too.
The researchers found significant evidence to support the theory that birth order has a marked effect on career paths. They analyzed a random sample of over 500 of the most successful individuals from 11 different career groups.
One of the most clear findings was that middle children are 30 percent more likely to become company CEOS than their sisters and brothers.
The researchers suggested that this could be because having to fight for attention results in middle children developing personality traits such as competitiveness and flexibility, which then makes them suited to high-flying roles which require strategic thinking and high levels of management. Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates are both middle children.
In encouraging news for middle children across the world, the study also found that they’re 41percent more likely to be Olympic athletes. Overall, there are far more typical cases than exceptions.
Interestingly, a majority of astronauts are first-born children----Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong are examples. Eldest children are also most likely to become scientists or engineers like Stephen Hawking.
Youngest children like Johann Sebastian Bach and Mozart were found to be 50 percent more likely to have careers in classical music, possibly for their sensitive and idealistic personality.
As for only children, they’re more likely to become artists due to their perfectionist and mature personalities. The average UK family has 2.44 children, but the researchers found that family size does play a part. Scientists were found to come from much larger families than average.
14. According to the passage, why are middle children more likely to be in a management position
15. What are the most potential career roles for the only children
16. What is the passage mainly about
Questions 17through 20 are based on the following conversation.
W: Dan, long time no see. How are you going these days
M: I’ve spent the whole summer vacation preparing my essay.
W: What is it about？
M: Jeans. The history of jeans.
W: Sounds quite appealing. In my memory, jeans were only worn by poor people and laborers. They are affordable and highly valued as work wear.
M: Exactly. They were rough clothing worn by working men because of its durability. They wear well and wash easily, which is superior to other materials.
W: What did middle class people wear at that time
M: In contrast, middle and upper class people wore suits made of material like linen as a symbol of status.
W: Then, why did jeans become trendy
M: I think there are three factors contributing to their popularity. Firstly, in 1908, the expiration of a patent “Levi’s” led to jeans on the market.
W: You mean, the imitation jeans flooded on the market.
M: Yes. Secondly, the Romanization of “cowboy lifestyle” made jeans popular.
W: I agree. A large number of western films helped their popularity such as Rebel Without a Cause and The Wild One. In the film, heroes wore jeans as a way of rebelling against social expectations. What else
M: In the 1980s, interest in jeans ran high with the release of a series of sex and violence ads.
W: As you mentioned, jeans were a symbol of rebellion, were they allowed in schools or other formal occasions
M: No, but as time went on, they become acceptable. People often wear them when they are not on duty to show their identity and a positive and casual lifestyle.
W: That’s why they become popular after World War II.
M: That’s quite reasonable. I didn’t realize it.
W: To women, jeans have another advantage. They don’t need to be washed often and don’t need to be ironed. Women can save more time on housework.
17. Why were jeans favored by working people
18. Why did the man mention Levi’s
19. What was the second reason for the popularity of jeans
20. What were the two speakers mainly talking about
