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.
How do you define success
What do you think a successful person is Someone who makes a lot of money Someone who is remembered
by future generations Or someone who changes the world A volunteer teacher and his students came to remind us
of our more humble measures of success. Liang Jun sang the poem alongside a group of his students from the
incredibly poor Wu Meng Mountain region in southwest China. The poem, by the famous poet Yuan Mei, 1
(entitle) Moss (苔). The message goes like this: 2 it is tiny, seemingly insignificant and has worse conditions
for growth, moss is able to grow and flourish just like the peony.
In the modern world, more and more individuals from rural areas 3 (flood) into cities to find success.
With this wave of urbanization, competition for jobs, love and just about everything else is fierce. Ordinary people
4 (lack) connections, a desirable appearance or other desired qualities can often feel frustrated with their
circumstances. The poem serves as a reminder for everyone 5 we don't have to be the peony.
When we study human history, we come across names like Genghis Khan, Neil Armstrong and Mao Zedong.
We credit these individuals with tremendous achievements, but we tend to forget the countless individuals 6
helped them achieve greatness. Mongol leader Genghis Khan wouldn't have been able to conquer half of Europe
and Asia 7 his incredible army. Nor could Chairman Mao have possibly built the People's Republic of China
by 8 . So, is it truly necessary for our names 9 (write) down in history books Most people will likely
forget about Liang Jun and his brief appearance on CCTV. However, everyone 10 (inspire) will remember his
message. They will take heart from his inspirational words, and open their own paths in life. The poem Moss may
live longer in our memories and inspire many future generations to achieve their measures of success.

Marvelous Mallorca
Located off the eastern coast of Spain, the island of Mallorca is often praised as one of the jewels of the
Mediterranean. As the Spanish royal family's preferred summer vacation spot, Mallorca 11 charms visitors
with its beautiful villages and mountains covered in orange and lemon trees.
Since it is a(n) 12 small island, Mallorca is best seen by bicycle. The Serra de Tramuntana Mountain
range runs along the island's north-western coast and covers nearly 30 percent of the island's 13 , which
makes it a cyclist's dream. The 14 roads that cross the tall peaks and rocky cliffs provide some of the most
challenging cycling on the island.
However, most of the island's visitors come to see Mallorca's splendid coast. Though there are several busy
beach resorts built specifically for tourists, you're better off 15 the 260 beaches around the island on your
own. Along the south coast, you'll find white sands and clear blue waters seemingly made just for diving. In the
east, keep an eye out for hidden bays that 16 for peaceful swimming even in high season.
Although Mallorca's beaches have been its main attraction for many years, more recently, visitors have begun
to appreciate the island's cultural attractions too. Many of Mallorca's grand old houses and 17 farms are being
turned into resorts where visitors can enjoy the relaxed lifestyle of the Mallorcan countryside.
Palma, Mallorca's lively capital, is also home to many museums, historic buildings, and galleries. Here you'll
be able to 18 paintings by great Spanish masters such as Picasso, Dalí, and Miró, whose former house in the
city's western district is open to visitors.
As the day 19 down, spend an evening enjoying a freshly caught supper in one of Palma's oceanfront
restaurants while taking in a beautiful Mallorcan sunset. What better way to wrap up your Spanish 20

each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Trying to make a big decision while you're also preparing for a scary presentation You might want to 21
doing that. Most people prefer to have sufficient time to analyze a situation and consider the 22 . Feeling
stressed changes how people 23 risk and reward. A new article published in Current Directions in
Psychological Science reviews how, under stress, people pay more attention to the 24 of a possible outcome.
Pressure can result in 25 attention and the use of unconscious reasoning. It can force a decision-maker to sort
the relevant factors from the irrelevant, and can 26 clear thinking with specific priorities.

It's a bit 27 that stress makes people focus on the way things could go right, says Mara Mather of the
University of Southern California. "This is sort of not what people would think," Mather says. "Stress is usually
associated with disagreeable experiences, so you'd think that maybe I'm going to be more focused on the 28
outcomes." But researchers have found that when people are under stress - by being told to hold their hand in
ice water for a few minutes, for example, or give a speech - they start paying more attention to positive information
and 29 negative information. "Stress seems to worsen their learning from negative feedback" Mather says.
This means when people under stress are making a difficult decision, they may pay more attention to the upsides of
the alternatives they're considering and less to the downsides. So someone who's deciding whether to take a new
job and is feeling stressed by the 30 might weigh the increase in salary more heavily than the worse commute
(通勤).
The increased focus on the positive also helps explain why stress plays a role in 31 , and people under
stress have a harder time controlling their urges. "The compulsion to get the reward comes stronger and they're less
able to 32 it," Mather says. So a person who's under stress might think only about the good feelings they'll
get from negative things like a drug, while the 33 shrink into the distance.
Stress also 34 the differences in how men and women think about risk. When men are under stress, they
become even more 35 to take risks; when women are stressed, they get more conservative. Mather links this
to another study that finds, at difficult times, men tend to face the situation, while women are likely to be more
conservative.

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）
I've been in an 18-year love-hate relationship with a black walnut tree.
It's a unique tree. In late September or early October, falling fruits as hard as baseballs threaten the skulls (头
骨) of you, your children, your neighbors and those that reside next door to them. Umbrellas in the yard are a must
while dining in early autumn, and as for me, I wear my bike helmet while working in the garden.
The black walnut also releases a chemical substance through its roots as a competitive strategy. It's poisonous
to several common plants. There have been many new plant varieties that I brought home with hopes that maybe
the black walnut would accept them, but they failed to flourish.
What does work are native plants that naturally grow in the area. Native plants are important to have around
since they provide beneficial pollinators (传粉者) like birds, bees and butterflies with seeds and contribute to a
healthy and biodiverse environment. Native plants for this area are generally easy to grow, so they experience less
stress.
Have I thought of getting rid of this giant pain in my tiny backyard Yes, however, getting rid of this tree
standing at 50 feet with an 87-inch trunk is next to impossible. It's also protected under the law. Rightfully so.
Trees are important to the urban forest and for all of those that inhabit it.
Sometimes I think about my life without the black walnut. I can't imagine a spring without the birds who
arrive every year and loudly sing their songs before dawn. I'd miss falling asleep on lazy weekend afternoons as I
look up into its leaves.
Every spring, I wonder what the season holds: What are the chances of being knocked unconscious while
barbecuing Like any good relationship, I'll never be pleased. I'm stuck with this tree, so I'll listen to its needs and
give it the space it requires. In return, my walnut offers a habitat for wildlife and a reminder that

（B）
A line of men tugged on ropes and dropped from the ship into the sea, with a group of Saibs prepared to pull
them later from the sea bottom. Nasser, one of the divers, climbed over the railing of the ship and his Saib emptied
his basket full of shells onto the deck.
"Get me something to fill my stomach with, boy." I knew he was teasing as he is my father's good friend.
"But I'm no longer an errand boy. I'm a diver, like my father was."
"Your father was bald and deaf, like the rest of us," Nasser laughed.
The salty Arabian Gulf produced the finest pearls in the world while the salty water also made divers lose their
hair. Let alone the high pressure which cost them their hearing. I had shaved my head, in which way I felt more like
a real diver. Of course, there's no need for me to worry about the hair problem.
"I've dived the shallow seas before, and I can hold my breath for a whole minute."
"Just pull your rope before you feel breathless." He then disappeared into the water again.
I tied a heavy stone to my foot with a rope. Taking one more deep breath, I plugged my nose and jumped.
With the stone finally hitting the seabed with a thump, I freed my foot from the rope. I scratched at the rocky ridge
(脊), when three oysters dropped into my hands. I even didn't have enough time to feel surprised at how easy the
job was before I felt breathless.

Out of horror, I dragged the rope. Knowing that, far above, the Saib's strong arms strained to pull me toward
the surface, I reminded myself to endure for a little more time. Just when I thought my lungs would burst, my ears
popped and there was light.
Nasser burst through the water. He removed his nose plug and grinned at me, looking at the three pitiful shells
on the deck. "Not bad for an errand boy." Seeing me upset with my head down, he patted me. "It's your first for
such a depth. You did better than all of us." Cheering up, I wrapped the empty basket around my neck and raised
my chin, "I'm a pearl diver."
40. According to Nasser, what did an errand boy usually do
A. Pull divers from the sea.
B. Empty baskets for divers.
C. Serve snacks for divers.
D. Dive for shells.
41. Why did the author have his hair cut
A. Because he tried to avoid losing hair.
B. Because all divers had shaved hair.
C. Because high pressure made him bald.
D. Because he wanted to look professional.
42. Why did the author get little harvest
A. Because there were not many pearls in the area.
B. Because he still lacked experience in the job.
C. Because the Saib pulled him up too early without permission.
D. Because the rocky ridge was too rough.
（C）
Ellen Weiss can hardly see. David Schmitt can barely hear. Are they typical victims of aging's cruelest blows
Not really. Weiss is actually a fresh resident doctor in family practice, age 30, and Schmitt a medical student, 26.
They have been assigned roles, ages and particular illnesses as an innovative part of their medical training.
Introduced in only a few medical centers so far, such role playing is designed to expose doctors to the pains
endured by the patients. It is just one of several techniques being tried at medical schools and hospitals in an
attempt to deal with the most universal complaint about doctors: lack of sympathy. "Residents are usually young
and healthy," says Dr. Stephen Brunton. "They've not really had a chance to understand what patients go through."
Role-playing programs give them a crash course. At Hunterdon, students' faces are instantly aged with
第 6页 /共 10页
cornflour and makeup. Next the disabilities are laid on: gloves cripple fingers, and peas inside shoes prevent
walking. Then the ersatz invalids are asked to perform common tasks: purchasing medication at the drugstore,
undressing for X-rays, filling out a Medicare form and, most awkward, using the bathroom themselves.
At Long Beach, new residents assume made-up illnesses and check into the hospital for an overnight stay. The
staff treats them as they would any other patient, even sending them a bill. The entire entering class of medical
students at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences are issued bedpans and told to use them.
Some are even subjected to an indignity: spending most of the first day of school as people with disabilities.
Instant patients usually start out animated and joking. "But by the end of a few hours, most say, 'I'm
exhausted.'" observes nurse Linda Bryant at Hunterdon. Schmitt discovered that "a major accomplishment was
doing up my collar." And, to his surprise, "I wound up hating physicians who didn't realize how much medication
would cost and how hard it was to go and pick it up." Weiss also learnt: "I realized how little I talk to patients. I
might ask them about chest pains but not 'Can you get dressed, eat O.K. take your medicine '" Jeffrey Ortiz thought
he was in for a quiet rest when he was sent to the intensive care unit, suffering from "chest pains." Instead he spent
a sleepless night: "People were coming in to do labs, the man in the next bed was groaning, and the heart monitor
was bleeping, which was noisy and scary."
Any patient could have told him so, but many educators believe the direct experience of such miseries will
leave an enduring sense of sympathy. Doctors have long defended taking a cool, dispassionate approach to patient
care, arguing that it helps preserve objective judgment and protect against burnout. But critics disagree. "By
concentrating on symptoms and lab data, we ignore a wealth of information that can affect patients' well-being,"
observes Dr. Simon Auster at the Uniformed Services medical school.
43. According to the passage, the role-playing programme is designed ______________.
A. as an innovative part in the local community
B. as part of the play the residents have to watch
C. to help doctors understand the pains endured by the patients
D. to expose students to school facilities in a vivid way
44. What does the phrase "the ersatz invalids" in paragraph 3 refer to
A. Local patients who usually start out animated and joking.
B. Students who make up their faces to look aged.
C. Doctors who perform common tasks that may not occur in real hospitals.
D. Customers who purchase medications and undress for X-rays with the help of students.
45. The instant patients may feel most embarrassed when they _______________.
第 7页 /共 10页
A. fill in a Medicare table
B. are using the washroom on their own
C. are issued bedpans and told to try them
D. meet with someone they know well
46. What can be concluded according to the passage
A. Residents should always take a cool approach without sympathy to patient care in their job.
B. Doctors ought to be completely independent from the symptoms and the previous lab data.
C. Doctors may ignore information influencing the patients' health only by focusing on symptoms.
D. Experience in role-playing programs won't help the new doctors preserve objective judgment.
Section C
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only
once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
The Hubble Space Telescope (哈勃太空望远镜)
A. However, Hubble is getting old, and its final scheduled service mission was completed in 2009.
B. Spitzer was right.
C. The huge James Webb Space Telescope is scheduled for launch in the near future.
D. Instead, astronomers discovered that the expansion is not slowing down at all. It is speeding up!
E. Spitzer suggested this idea in 1946 and said the telescope would not only test existing ideas, but also inspire
completely new ones.
F. Then what happened next
For centuries, astronomers looking at the moon, the planets, and the stars have faced a basic problem: the
earth's atmosphere. Although it provides the air we breathe as well as protection from the sun, the atmosphere
prevents us from seeing clearly into space even with the largest and most advanced telescopes.
Then came Lyman Spitzer, an astrophysicist with a remarkable idea: put a large telescope in orbit (轨道)
around the earth, outside of the earth's atmosphere. 47 . "The chief contribution of such a new and more
powerful instrument," he predicted, "would be, not to help us know more about the universe we live in, but rather
to uncover new phenomena not yet imagined, and perhaps to modify our basic concepts of space and time." 48
. In 1993, NASA released the first images from the Hubble telescope. Since then, scientists have used Hubble
to follow the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 as it hit the giant planet Jupiter. They have produced images of the amazing
and unique beauty of planetary nebulae, giant clouds of gas produced by dying stars.
They have proved the existence of black holes at the centres of galaxies. And just as Spitzer imagined, Hubble
led to surprising new discoveries. Astronomers once expected that gravity would slow the expansion of the
第 8页 /共 10页
universe. 49 . This groundbreaking finding won the Nobel Prize in Physics. 50 . It cannot be repaired any
more by astronauts. Therefore, scientists are preparing its successor. The huge James Webb Space Telescope will
take over its tasks and continue to explore the universe.

Your Alarm Sound May Be the Reason Why You Feel Sleepy After Waking Up
A team of Australian scientists from RMIT University in Melbourne found that melodic alarms were linked to
reductions in "sleep inertia" (SI), according to a study published in the journal PLOS ONE. SI is the reduction in
alertness experienced up to four hours after waking, as the researchers said. This phenomenon can affect human
performance in a variety of ways.
"If you don't wake properly, your work performance can be degraded for periods up to four hours, and that has
been linked to major accidents," Stuart McFarlane, an author of the study from RMIT, said in a statement. "You
would assume that a loud 'beep beep beep' alarm would improve alertness. However, our data revealed that melodic
alarms may be the key element. This was unexpected."
"Although more research is needed to better understand the precise combination of melody and rhythm that
might work best, considering that most people use alarms to wake up, the sound you choose may have important
consequences," he said. "This is particularly important for people who might work in dangerous situations shortly
after waking, like firefighters or pilots, but also for anyone who has to be rapidly alert, such as someone driving to
hospital in an emergency."
For their study, the researchers surveyed 50 people using an online questionnaire, asking various questions
about the types of sounds that they used for their alarms and how alert they tended to feel after waking up. The
results revealed that the participants who rated their alarm sound as being "melodic" tended to report reductions in
SI compared to "unmelodic" or harsh sounds. The study is limited by the fact that the results are based on
self-reported survey responses and, thus, the researchers did not directly test how SI is linked to the type of alarm
tone. However, they do suggest a potential mechanism to explain the results that they recorded.
