Section B（8%）
Directions: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages 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.
Here is a quick quiz: Person A does a favor for you. Person B asks you to do a favor for him. Who do you like more The answer: Person B．
It seems counter-intuitive（违反直觉的）. Wouldn’t we favor those who do us favors Not necessarily. Often, the opposite is true: We don’t like people who are nice to us; we like people to（29）_______ we are nice. This aspect of human nature, known as the Ben Franklin Effect,（30）_______（explain）a lot about how relationships work and how we might improve them.
Benjamin Franklin came across this phenomenon in 1736,（31）_______ he served as a clerk to the Pennsylvania General Assembly（宾夕法尼亚州议会）. A powerful new member did not care for Franklin and threatened to make life miserable for him. Franklin could have attempted to win him over with flattery, but he took a different approach.
Having heard that the man owned a rare and valuable book, Franklin asked（32）_______ he could borrow it for a few days. The man agreed, and Franklin returned it with a nice note. “When we next met in the House, he spoke to me（33）_______ great politeness,” Franklin recalled in his autobiography（自传）. The two became fast friends. Franklin’s take away: “He who has once done you a Kindness will be more ready to do you（34）_______ than he whom you yourself have helped.”
Several studies have confirmed this, but how can we explain the phenomenon Some psychologists point to cognitive dissonance（认知失调）as an explanation. It’s difficult to hold two contradictory thoughts at the same time,（35）_______ makes us uncomfortable. We resolve this tension by changing our mind. “I don’t like Joe, but I’m doing him a favor,” we might think. “So, maybe I do like him after all.”
Those looking to make new friends would be wise to make use of the phenomenon. It works when two people know each other and even among strangers,（36）_______（suggest）that it “could be an effective strategy not only for maintaining or strengthening a current relationship but also for developing a new relationship,” said Yu Niya, author of a study on the Ben Franklin Effect.
Section C（10%）
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 heed.
A．define B．depends C．intentions D．nutritional E. perspectives F. public G. refer H. reveal I. standards J. touches K. unique
A recent article put a spotlight on how social media can fuel body dysmorphia（身体畸形恐惧症）in boys. As we regularly do when The Times writes about an issue that（37）_______ on the lives of young people, we have asked teenagers to share their（38）_______— this time on the use of social media and the effects it may be having on body image issues.
Many of the teenagers agree that social media has been harmful to their body image and self-esteem（自尊）.
Influencers share their “what I eat in a day” videos, and while their（39）_______ may not be malicious（恶意的）, comparison truly becomes the thief of joy. You start wondering how much you should be eating. While I admit that I have benefited from some（40）_______ information that has been taught by professionals on social media, the popularity of unrealistic beauty（41）_______ has been damaging to me
— Ave, Los Angeles
Males face（42）_______ pressures and hurdles to talking about their struggles
Not only on social media but also in the real world, males are taught differently than females about how to think about their struggles. People seem to notice the struggles females face when it comes to body image issues, but it is all too common for them to overlook the struggles that males face. As a result, males are often discouraged from sharing their struggles and are often ignored when they do make（43）_______ such struggles.
— Devynne, Comets
Some said that following body-positive content can be encouraging.
I find that I encounter more body-positive content than that which is negative. The reason for this, though,（44）_______ on who you follow. When I see body-positive content on social media, I find that it just makes me feel confident about the body I have. Positive content can show you that your body does not（45）_______ you, and that you should not worry about having the smallest waist or biggest muscles. — Alexis, Hanover Horton High School
Teen warning— just remember, social media doesn’t show you the full picture of someone’s life.
In my case, social media has definitely affected the way I feel about myself and my body. Users on these platforms usually post things when they look their best, often neglecting to（46）_______ to us their usual day-to-day appearance. Social media has caused me to feel as if I have to look a certain way at all times of the day, even if it is clear to me that 15-second TikTok clips of attractive users show just that: only 15 seconds of their day — Nikita, New York
Ⅲ．Reading Comprehension:
Section A（15%）
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.
The similarities between babies and scientists become particularly vivid when we consider how babies learn about things. In science, and even in ordinary life, we 47 the surfaces of the world and try to infer its deeper patterns. We look for the 48 causes of events. We try to figure out the nature of things.
It’s not just that we human beings can do this, we need to do it. We seem to have a kind of explanatory drive, like our drive for food. When we’re presented with a puzzle, a mystery, a hint of a pattern, or something that doesn’t quite 49 , we work until we find a solution. As scientists, we may stay up all night to solve a problem, and it doesn’t seem rather likely that our salaries are the only 50 .
We see this same drive to 51 the world in its purest form in children. Human children in the first three years of life are consumed by a desire to explore and 52 with objects. From the time human babies can move around, they are torn between the safety of a grown-up hug and the 53 drive to explore. Toddlers（学步儿童）in the park venture（冒险）out to explore and then, in a sudden panic, race back to the safe harbour, only to venture forth again some few minutes later.
Seen from an evolutionary point of view, children’s exploratory behaviour is rather peculiar. Not only do babies invest enormous energy in exploring the world, their explorations often 54 their very survival. However, for our species, the dangers of exploration are 55 by the benefits of learning. The change in children’s understanding of the world seem related to the ways they explore and experiment. Children actively do things to 56 their understanding of disappearances, causes and categories.
Fortunately, these aspects of the 57 world are so common that babies can do their experiments quite easily and for the most part safely. The bed, the house, the garden are excellent laboratories. 58 , we can see babies become interested in hiding-and-finding games when they are about a year old. We once recorded a baby putting the same ring under a cloth and finding it 17 times, saying “all gone” each time. In our experiments, babies often begin by 59 when we take the toy to hide it. But after one or two turns, they often start hiding the toy themselves or give the cloth and toy to us with instructions to hide it again.
A key aspect of our developmental picture is that babies actively 60 looking for patterns in what is going on around them, in testing hypotheses（假设）and in seeking 61 . They aren’t just stamped（标识）by evolution or shaped by their environment or moulded（塑造）by adults.

Section B（24%）
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）
Recently I attended several meetings where we talked about ways to retain students and keep younger staff members from going elsewhere.
It seems that higher education has become an industry of meeting-holders whose task is to “solve” problems— real or imagined. And in my position as a professor at three different colleges, the actual problems in educating our young and older students have deepened, while the number of people hired— not to teach but to hold meetings— has increased significantly. Every new problem creates a new job for an administrative fixer. Take our Center for Teaching Excellence. Contrary to its title, the center is an information exchange center for using technology in classrooms and in online courses. It’s an administrative cheat of the kind that has multiplied over the last 30 years.
I offer a simple proposal in response: Many of our problems— class attendance, educational success, student happiness and well-being— might be improved by cutting down the bureauratic（官僚的）mechanism and meetings and instead hiring an army of good teachers. If we replaced half of our administrative staff with classroom teachers, we might actually get a majority of our classes back to 20 or fewer students per teacher. This would be an environment in which teachers and students actually knew each other.
The teachers should be free to teach in their own way— the curriculum should be flexible enough so that they can use their individual talents to achieve the goals of the course. Additionally, they should be allowed to teach, and be rewarded for doing it well. Teachers are not people who are great at and consumed by research and happen to appear in a classroom. Good teaching and research are not exclusive, but they are also not automatic companions. Teaching is an art and a craft, talent and practice; it is not something that just anyone can be good at. It is confusing to me that people do not recognize this, despite the fact that anyone who has been a student can tell the difference between their best and worst teachers.
62．What does the author think of some universities
A．They are effectively handling real or imagined problems.
B．They sometimes fail to combine teaching with research.
C．They have too many administrative staff members.
D．They lack talent to fix ever-deepening problems.
63．From the perspective of the author, what kind of people do universities lack most
A．Good classroom teachers. B．Talented researchers.
C．Efficient administrators. D．Motivated students.
64．What does the author imply about the classes at present
A．They improve students’ independent learning. B．They help students form closer relationships.
C．They have more older students than before. D．They are much bigger than is desirable.
65．What is the author’s suggestion to improve university teaching
A．Creating an environment for teachers to share their teaching experience.
B．Hiring more classroom teachers and allowing them to teach in their own way.
C．Using high technology in classrooms and promoting exchange of information.
D．Cutting down meetings and encouraging administrative staff to go to classrooms.
（B）

（C）
Moving hospitals out of paper records and into digital connectivity has been tougher than anyone but hard-core skeptics（怀疑论者）thought seven years ago, when the federal government began pouring billions of dollars into a push to make electronic medical records the universal puterization of health care data would quickly get patients’ health information where it needs to go, improving care and cutting costs.
That was the idea— but the path to it has been rocky. Overall, progress has been blocked, among other obstacles, by reluctance to share information with competitors, software from different suppliers that can’t communicate, physicians who have pushed back at hospitals where they had to struggle with unaccustomed computerized routines and the expense, often exceeding $1 billion in large hospital systems, of retooling outdated computers.
As things now stand, medical records are often incomplete and vital patient information is frequently hiding on health care islands— parked at one large health system but inaccessible to a hospital outside the system where that same patient may have just arrived in the Emergency Room. Or records aren’t sent to primary care providers, leaving them in the dark about the course of a patient’s treatments.
Amid continued concerns that digitized patient data still isn’t getting to the point of care, and facing pressure from providers and lawmakers who argue that hospitals and other health organizations are being forced to do too much too fast despite the perception that they should be well down the road, the Department of Health and Human Services recently issued final rules on an advanced set of requirements to make electronic health information more readily available to clinicians. The new standards are promised to be simpler and more flexible, responding to complaints from hospitals and physicians.
The big picture of hospital connectivity in the U. S. today is “deeply negative,” says Eric Topol, author of “The Patient Will See You Now”. “There’s been tremendous resources put into this and little to show for it,” he says. “We have a country characterized by information-blocking, where there is a lack of connectivity from one health system to another, and patients are the victims because of all this Tower of Babel.”
Topol points out that countries from Australia to Estonia have broken down barriers to information sharing and given patients greater ownership of their health care by putting their data into their own hands. He believes this model should replace the current “paternalistic（家长式作风的）” system where the control of patient information remains firmly with hospitals and other health providers. Many places around the world have instead adopted the patients-own-their-data model, Topol says. “Then you don’t worry so much about blocking, because the patient has the goods.”
70．Why did federal government decide to make electronic medical records
A．To satisfy demands from hard-core skeptics. B．To improve the efficiency of health care service.
C．To be more green by abandoning paper records. D．To erase the competitions among different hospitals.
71．The path to electronic medical records was blocked by _______.
A．a lack of universal standard B．the absence of qualified software supplies
C．doctors’ reluctance to use computer D．large cost of updating computers
72．What made the Department of Health and Human Services issue the final rule
A．The perception that hospital is going the wrong road.
B．Pressure from patients to receive immediate medical treatment.
C．Concerns over the accessibility of the electronic medical data.
D．Complaints about the simplicity of the old standard.
73．What is the main idea of the passage
A．Hospitals are moving slowly to electronic medical records.
B．Physicians are getting accustomed to computerized routines.
C．“Paternalistic” system is widely accepted by the patients in the U. S..
D．Patients should have control over their digital medical data.
