I. 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.
Why is Art so Powerful
Perhaps the simplest answer to this question is that art touches us emotionally.
Art is powerful (1)______ it can potentially influence our culture, politics, and even the
economy. When we see a powerful work of art, you feel (2)______ touching deep within your core,
giving us the power to make real-life changes.
It has the power to educate people about almost anything. It creates awareness and presents
information in a way that could be absorbed by many easily. In a world (3)______ there are those
who don't even have access to good education, art makes education an even (4) ______ (great)
equalizer of society.
It breaks cultural, social, and economic barriers. While art hardly really solves poverty or
promotes social justice (5) ______ its own, it can be used as a leveled playing field for discourse
and expression. The reason why everyone can relate to art is (6)______ everyone has emotions and
personal experiences. Therefore, anyone can learn to appreciate art regardless of their social
background, economic standing or political affiliation.
It accesses higher orders of thinking. Art doesn't just make you absorb information. Rather, it
makes you think about current ideas and inspire you (7) ______ (make) your own. This is why
creativity is a form of intelligence — it is a special ability that unlocks the potential of the human
mind. In fact, studies have shown that exposure to art can make you better in other fields of
knowledge.
The truth is that people have recognized how powerful art can be. Many times in history have
we heard of people (8) ______ (criticize), threatened, censored, and even killed because of their
artwork. Those responsible for these reactions, may it be an aggressive government or a dissident
(持不同政见的) group, (9) ______ (take) these measures against artists knowing how much their
works can affect the politics in a (10) ______ (give) area. In the hands of good people, however, art
can be used to give back hope or instill courage in a society that's undergoing a lot of hardships.

Young children may face serious health risks from popular energy drinks, such as Monster, Red
Bull and Rock Star, (11)______ causing heart problems and other life-threatening conditions,
according to the findings of new researches.
Researchers have warned about the risk of allowing young children (12)______ to the energy
第 1 页 共 10 页
drinks, which contain high amounts of caffeine and other stimulants. Researches indicate that the
energy drinks are not (13)______ for young children and are not safe for them to consume. Steven
Lipshultz, M.D., lead author of the study, is calling for a warning on all energy drink cans and
bottles, warning parents of the risk of allowing children to drink them.
Researchers say it is difficult to know exactly how much caffeine is contained in each can or
bottle of energy drinks, since they are often (14)______ as dietary supplements, which allow the
manufacturers to avoid FDA regulations. Energy drink manufacturers have compared the amount of
caffeine in their products to that in hot drinks sold in (15)______ environments like coffee houses,
but their products are often packaged in very large sizes and they are not sold in environments like
coffee houses, which typically would not (16)______ young children. Energy drinks are widely
available in convenience stores next to traditional soft drinks, typically packaged in very similar
cans and using similar marketing techniques.
Some energy drinks in many of the popular lines can contain up to 400 mg of caffeine per can.
In comparison, a cup of coffee typically has around 100 mg of caffeine. Caffeine poisoning can
(17)______ in adults at levels higher than 400 mg a day; however, children under 12 can experience
caffeine poisoning at only 2.5 mg per 2.2 pounds of body weight.
A study published in September (18)______ up the new findings, revealing energy drinks may
cause serious heart problems. French researchers revealed the popular energy drinks may be linked
to (19)______ risk of irregular heartbeats and even sudden death.
The FDA is currently investigating health concerns surrounding the drinks after numerous
negative event reports have been made in recent years (20)______ energy drinks to severe injuries
and deaths.
II. 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.
The Psychology of Discounting
When retailers want to persuade customers to buy a particular product, they typically offer it at
a discount. According to a new study to be published in the Journal of Marketing, however, they
are (21)______ a trick.
A team of researchers, led by Akshay Rao of the University of Minnesota's Carlson School of
Management, (22)______ consumers' attitudes to discounting. Shoppers, they found, much prefer
getting something extra free to getting something cheaper. The main reason is that most people are
poor at fractions (分数).
Consumers often struggle to realize, (23), that a 50% increase in (24) is the same as a 33%
discount in price. They overwhelmingly (25)______ the former is better value. In an experiment,
the researchers sold 73% more hand cream when it was offered in a bonus pack than when it carried
an (26)______ discount (even after all other effects, such as a desire to stockpile were controlled
for).
This mathematical blind spot remains even when the deal clearly (27)______ the discounted
product. In another experiment, this time on his undergraduates, Mr. Rao offered two (28)______
on loose coffee beans: 33% extra free or 33% off the price. The discount is by far the better
proposition, but the supposedly clever students viewed them as equivalent.
Studies have shown other ways in which retailers can exploit consumers' mathematical (29).
第 2 页 共 10 页
One is to confuse them with (30) discounting. People are more likely to see a(n) (31)______ in a
product that has been reduced by 20% in price, and then by an additional 25%, than one that has
been subject to an equivalent, one-off 40% reduction.
Marketing types can draw lessons beyond just (32), says Mr. Rao. When advertising a new car's
efficiency, for example, it is more (33) to talk about the number of extra miles per gallon it does,
rather than the equivalent percentage (34)______ in fuel consumption.
There may be lessons for regulators too. Even well-educated shoppers are easily foxed. Sending
everyone back to school for maths refresher-courses seems out of the question. But more noticeably
displayed (35)______ prices in shops and advertisements would be a great help.

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)
The Apology
For sixteen years, Nora had avoided Maple Street. Not because of traffic or bad memories in
the usual sense — but because of one specific house, painted pale blue, with a porch (门廊) swing
that never moved.
That was where Mrs. Kowalski had lived.
Nora was twelve when she and her friends threw eggs at Mrs. Kowalski's front door. It was
Halloween, a stupid dare, the kind of thing children do because they don't yet understand that other
people are real. The eggs left yellow streaks on the blue paint. Mrs. Kowalski came outside, saw the
mess, then looked up and down the street. Nora and her friends were already running.
But Nora had dropped her glove. A red mitten, small, with a white snowflake on the back. She
realized it was missing ten minutes later. By then, it was too late to go back.
The next morning, the mitten was nailed to Mrs. Kowalski's front gate. Not placed on a table or
tied to the handle — nailed, through the cuff, like a warning. Nora walked past it every day on her
way to school. She never recovered it. After a few weeks, the mitten turned gray from rain. After a
month, someone tore it down. Nora never forgot it.
Now she was twenty-eight. She had moved back to her hometown after her father's funeral,
第 4 页 共 10 页
staying just long enough to clear out the family house. Maple Street was on her way to the storage
unit. She had driven past the blue house three times already, each time telling herself she didn't have
time to stop.
On the fourth time, she parked.
The house looked smaller than she remembered. The porch swing was gone. The blue paint was
peeling. A For Sale sign stood on the front lawn. But the gate was still there, and in the gate, a
small hole — the one the nail had made.
Nora rang the bell. A young woman opened the door, a baby on her hip.
"I'm sorry," Nora said. "I know this is strange. I used to live nearby. Is Mrs. Kowalski still
here "
The young woman's expression changed. "She passed away last spring. I'm her granddaughter."
"I'm sorry to hear that," Nora said. And then, because she had been carrying the words for
sixteen years, she said: "I threw an egg at her door when I was a kid. I dropped my mitten. She
nailed it to the gate. I never apologized."
The young woman stared at her for a long moment. Then she shifted the baby to her other hip
and laughed. Not a kind laugh. A strange one.
"My grandmother didn't nail your mitten to the gate," she said. "She put it on the porch railing,
hoping you'd come back for it. Someone else nailed it there. She never knew who."
Nora felt the ground slope beneath her feet.
"She talked about that mitten for years," the young woman continued. "Not because she was
angry. Because she felt terrible that a child lost her glove and was too scared to come get it."
The baby reached out and touched Nora's sleeve. Nora looked down at the small hand, then
back at the hole in the gate.
She had spent sixteen years apologizing to the wrong person. Or rather — to someone who had
never needed an apology at all.
36.What does the red mitten symbolize in the story
A. Nora's carelessness as a child.
B. Mrs. Kowalski's cruelty toward children.
C. Nora's lasting guilt over a childhood mistake.
D. The friendship between Nora and her friends.
37.Why did the young woman laugh when Nora apologized
A. She found it funny that Nora still remembered the incident.
B. She was angry and laughed to hide her true feelings.
C. She realized that Nora had misunderstood what happened.
D. She thought Nora was lying about throwing the egg.
38.What is the most important thing Nora learns from the granddaughter
A. Mrs. Kowalski had always hated children from the neighborhood.
B. The mitten incident was not what Nora had believed it to be.
C. The For Sale sign means the house will be torn down soon.
D. The granddaughter also threw eggs when she was a child.
39.The underlined sentence in the last paragraph suggests that Nora ______.
A. should have apologized to her father instead
B. had imagined the entire egg-throwing incident
C. owed an apology to herself for holding onto guilt
D. was wrong to assume Mrs. Kowalski was angry

As the senate (参议院 ) prepares to vote on legislation to empower the Food and Drug
Administration to regulate tobacco products, its members would be wise to consult a recent appeals
court decision. The decision makes it clear that the tobacco companies have engaged in deceitful
and harmful behavior for many decades and cannot be trusted to reform on their own. Regulatory
oversight is the best chance to rein them in.
The unanimous ruling by a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia upheld (维持原判) major elements of a 2016 lower court decision that found
big tobacco companies guilty of racketeering (非法获取钱财 ) and fraud as part of a prolonged
campaign to deceive and addict the public. That 1,742-page opinion, submitted by Judge Gladys
Kessler, laid out in painstaking detail how the tobacco companies made false statements and
suppressed evidence to deny or play down the addictive qualities and the negative health effects of
smoking.
Judge Kessler found that the companies manipulated the design of cigarettes to deliver
addictive dose of nicotine, falsely denied that secondhand smoke caused disease and falsely
represented that light and low-tar cigarettes presented fewer health risks.
The appeals court not only upheld her decision as legally sound, it also seemed deeply
impressed by the "volumes of evidence" and "countless examples of deliberately false statements"
underlying many of Judge Kessler's findings. It also upheld some but not all of the marketing
restrictions and other requirements she imposed to prevent the companies from making future false
claims and engaging in additional cheating activities.
The companies protested that they should not be subjected to such requirements because they
had already agreed to numerous remedies under a settlement agreement with 46 states and the
District of Columbia. The appeals panel was rightly unimpressed. It upheld the district court's
findings that after the settlement went into effect in 2008, the companies almost immediately began
to evade and violate various prohibitions against joint activities and false statements.
The House has already voted to give the F.D.A. power to regulate tobacco. Senators, who are
getting ready to vote on similar legislation, now have fair warning, if they should need any more,
that this is a dishonest industry. It can't be trusted to behave responsibly or even adhere to
agreements it has signed. It is time to grant the F.D.A. the power to regulate the content and
marketing of tobacco products.
43.Why would it be wise for the senators to consult a recent appeals court decision before
voting
A. It would demonstrate the tobacco industry has failed to reform.
B. It would remind the senators of how tobacco companies reap profits through fraudulent practices.
C. It would help the senators realize the necessity of external regulation of the tobacco industry.
第 7 页 共 10 页
D. It would reveal the many adverse effects of tobacco on health.
44.It can be inferred from Judge Kessler's findings that ______.
A. tobacco companies caused customers' addiction at the cost of their health
B. the negative health effects of smoking have long been underestimated
C. racketeering and fraud have blinded the tobacco companies for a long time
D. light and low-tar cigarettes pose fewer health risks
45.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to paragraphs 4 & 5
A. The appeals court upheld Judge Kessler's restrictions and requirements entirely.
B. The tobacco companies immediately violated the restrictions imposed by Judge Kessler.
C. The appeals panel dismissed the settlement agreement that went into effect in 2008.
D. The tobacco companies protested about Judge Kessler's requirements in vain.
46.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A. Actions Speak Louder Than Words: Big Tobacco Needs to Show Good Faith
B. Old Dogs, New Tricks: The Tobacco Industry's Reform
C. Once a Liar, Always a Liar: Why the Tobacco Industry Can't Be Trusted

Robotic Fly Imitates Real Life Insect
A team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by Nature to create the first
robotic fly. The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech integrated
systems. (47)______ Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.
"It's extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a
bunch of individual components," said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has
been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. (48)______ "The added difficulty with a
project like this is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to
develop them all on our own," he said.
They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. "The seemingly simple
system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on the individual
components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to
everything it's connected to," said Wood. The flight device was built into a set of power,
computation, sensing and control systems.
While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off-board power source, the goal is eventually
to equip it with a built-in power source. (49)______ "Basically it should be able to take off, land
第 8 页 共 10 页
and fly around," he said.
Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale.
(50)______ "You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know,
to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead," he
said. "So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what
drives us on a day-to-day basis."
III. Summary Writing
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea and
the main point(s) of the passage. Use your own words as far as possible.
51.
"996" Schedule Exposed
Working overtime has been common for employees in China's Internet sector for many years,
but debate about the practice heated up recently after a blacklist of technology companies that push
their staff to follow a "996" schedule went viral online.
The blacklist is said to have been compiled by current and former employees of technology
companies. As of Monday, 84 Chinese companies were on the blacklist, which claims employees
are forced to follow a "996" schedule, under which work begins at 9 am and finishes at 9 pm, six
days a week.
"If it's 'work more, pay more' model, I'd be a lot more willing to follow the '996' schedule. But
the truth is, that not every company is run that way. That's why many people complain," a software
developer working in a gaming company based in Hangzhou, East China's Zhejiang Province, told
the Global Times on Wednesday.
The online complaints and discussions also come amid young people's changing attitudes
toward life and work, and rising rights protection awareness. With improved living standards, more
young people have adopted a "work hard, play hard" lifestyle, compared with the older generations'
"work to live" mind-set. While working hard, they are calling for more holidays, and believe
holidays are their rights.
"But we don't know who we should resort to when it comes to all these holidays and payment
issues, so we resort to the internet," the developer said.
"Sometimes when projects come along. I work seven days a week, I sometimes even sleep at
the office," the developer said. "I am a game lover and I like my job, but I think I'm underpaid and
my work is not appreciated."
Industry analysts noted that the hours required by the "996" model exceed the limits established
in China's Labor Contract Law. The culture of overtime is connected to the characteristics
embedded in Chinese people — who are hard-working, diligent, and desirous of success. They are
even willing to sacrifice some of their personal lives to achieve career success. This might be quite
different and hard to be understood in European countries.
Beyond China, most people in other East Asian countries such as Japan and South Korea also
suffer from working overtime due to similar cultural elements. Working overtime has become a
global phenomenon, and labor unions around the world should play an active role in seeking more
ways to better protect workers' rights amid an industrial upgrading.
