PART V READING COMPREHENSION [35 MIN]
SECTIONAMULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS
PASSAGE ONE
(1)I didn't speak to Hassan until themiddleofthenextweek. Ihad just half-eaten my lunch and
Hassan was doing the dishes. I was walking upstairs, going to my room, when Hassan asked if I
wanted to hike up the hill, I said I was tired. Hassan looked tired too- -he'd lost weight and gray
circles had formed under hispuffed-up eyes.But when heasked again, Ireluctantly agreed.
(2) We trekked up the hill, our boots squishing in the muddy snow. Neither one of us said
anything.We sat under our pomegranate tree and I knew I'd made a mistake. I shouldn't have come up
the hill. The words I'd carved on the tree trunk withAli's Kitchen knife,Amir and Hassan: The Sultans
ofKabul... I couldn't stand lookingat them now.
5/13(3) So I told him I just wanted to go back to my room. He looked away and shrugged. Wewalked
back down the way we'd gone up: in silence. And for the first time in my life, I couldn't wait for
spring.
(4) My memory of the rest of that winter of 1975 is pretty hazy. I remember I was fairly happy
when Baba was home. We'd eat together, go to see a film, and visit Kaka Homayoun or Kaka Faruq.
Sometimes Rahim Khan came over and Baba let me sit in his study and sip tea with them. He'd even
have me read him some of my stories. It was good and I even believed it would last. And Baba
believed it too, I think. We both should have known better. For at least a few months after the kite
tournament, Baba and I immersed ourselves in a sweet illusion, and saw each other in a way that we
never had before. We'd actually deceived ourselves into thinking that a toy made of tissue paper, glue,
and bamboo couldsomehow closethe chasm between us.
(5) But when Baba was out- -and he was out a lot- -I closed myself in my room. I read a book
every couple of days, wrote stories, and learned to draw horses. I'd hear Hassan shuffling around the
kitchen in the morning, and hear the clinking of silverware, the whistle of the teapot. I'd wait to hear
the door shut and only then I would walk down to eat. On my calendar, I circled the date of the first
day ofschool andbegan acountdown.
(6) To my dismay, Hassan kept trying to rekindle things between us. I remember the last time. I
was inmy room, reading an abbreviated Farsi translation ofIvanhoe when heknocked onmydoor.
(7)“What is it?”
(8)“I'm going to thebaker tobuy naan," he said from the other side.“I was wondering if you...if
you wanted tocome along.
(9)“I thinkI'm just going to read," Isaid, rubbing mytemples. Lately,every timeHassan was
around, I was getting aheadache.
(10)"It's a sunnyday," he said.
(11)“I can seethat. ”
(12)“Might befun togo for awalk.”
(13)“You go.”
(14)“Iwish you'd comealong," he said. Paused. Somethingthumped against thedoor,maybe his
forehead.“I don't know what I've done, Amir agha. I wish you'd tell me. I don't know why we don't
play anymore.'
(15)“You haven't doneanything, Hassan. Just go.”
(16)“You can tell me; I'll stop doingit.”
6/13(17) I buried my head in my lap, and squeezed my temples with my knees, like a vice.“ TIl tell
you what Iwant you to stopdoing," Isaid, eyes pressed shut.
(18)“Anything.
(19)“Iwant you to stop harassing me. I want you to go away," I snapped. I wished he would give
it right back to me, break the door open and tell me off- -it would have made things easier, better. But
he didn't do anything like that, and when I opened the door minutes later, he wasn't there. I fell on my
bed,buried myhead under thepillow,and cried.
41.According to Para.4, therelationship betweenAmirand his father was actually
A. excellent B. notso bad C.not so nice D.very terrible
42.Which ofthefollowing best describes who Hassan was?
A. Hassan was possiblyAmir' s neighbor.
B. Hassan was probably a servant ofAmirs family.
C. Hassan was actually another child ofAmir's father.
D. Hassan was likely adopted byAli as his son.
43.What does theitalicized word“harassing" inPara. 19mean?
A.Aiding. B.Worrying about. C. Bothering. D. Flattering.
PASSAGGE TWO
(1) The rivalry between King's College London on the Strand and University College in
Bloomsbury has been a part of London life for nearly two centuries. It has been expressed in the
academic sphere, on the sports field and in the rivalry of the student populations. It can be traced to
their foundation in the 1820s when King's was established as an Anglican altemative to the secular
University College. King's principal objective was“to imbue the minds of youth with a knowledge of
thedoctrines and duties ofChristianity，as inculcated bytheUnited Church ofEngland and Ireland" .
(2) Attendance at College Chapel and the study of Christianity formed an important part of
College life.Aflavour of the rivalry can be glimpsed in the second verse of an 1820s satirical song set
tothe musicoftheBritish national anthem:
King's College lads arise!
New Universities
Shallquickly fall;
Confound theirpolitics,
7/13Frustratetheirteaching tricks ，
o,Church!onthee we fix,
Maintain us all.
(3) UCL have responded. This rivalry gradually moved away from denomination disagreements
and became more a rivalry of class, with KCL being deemed the more“traditional”and elitist
institution, with UCL the liberal and more progressive institution. Student Rags became the forum for
the students to express their dislike for one another, such as this melee in 1934between UCLand KCL
medics and engineers onKing's Strand campus.
(4) Mutual rivalries inevitably lead to a sense of camaraderie among peers, i.e. if you don't like
the same people as me we can be friends. KCL and UCL's affiliation with their own colleges lead to
the development of mascots: for King's the red lion“Reggie" and for UCL Jeremey Bentham and
Phineas proved equally popular. Over the years respective mascots were allegedly stolen and returned
in various states continuing the inter-college rivalry. UCL legend has it Bentham's head was stolen on
a few occasions and held to ransom by KCL and even used once in a game of football as part of the
varsity fervour.
(5) Varsity is now a far more sporing affair with UCL and KCL settling their differences on the
pitch.This year saw the first 6 sport varsity which included the ever popular rugby varsity matches, as
well as new entries from sports such as kickboxing and water polo.
(6) Aside from the official six, UCL's Lacrosse club hosted its own varsity match against King's
as well. In acomplete changeto previous competitionsthese varsities are now celebratory,rather than
aggressive, inclusive rather than separatist. During the match, UCL and KCL supporters cheer for
anyone doing anything ( granted not many people understand the rules of lacrosse), and after the
match both teams enjoyed a Regent's Park picnic together in honour of the healthy sporting rivalry,
and long may it continue!
(7)Student rivalry wasn't confined to King's and UCL, but spilled over into contests with Imperial
and Queen Mary Colleges ( established in 1907 and in 1885 respectively) and especially the
neighbouring London School of Economics ( established in 1895). One well-planned and successful
rag against the LSE during the 1920s involved the King's Liberal Party Society organising an impostor
toplay the part of David Lloyd George，complete with morning coat and limousine，who proceeded to
address the LSE Students' Union in an appropriately overdramatic performance. A riot ensued when
the angry audience realised they had been duped and the actor sent flying before rescue by a
strategically placed King's rowing heavy. Following the Second World War, King's was involved in
8/13numerous kidnapping and ransoming of rival mascots, including Queen Mary's leopard and the LSE
Beaver.
44.According to thepassage，which ofthefollowing universities was established alittleearlier?
A. King's College London. B. University College London.
C. Queen Mary College. D. LondonSchool of Economics.
45.Which college mentioned inthepassage was basically focusing onreligions?
A. KCL. B. UCL. C.LSE. D. QM.
46.Which ofthefollowing statements isNOTtrue?
A. KCLand UCLhave never been inconcordwith each other.
B. KCLallegedly has stolen UCL's mascots and vice versa.
C. KCLhad conflicts withLSE in thehistory.
D.The mascot ofQueen Mary's isa leopard.
47.It can beinferred from thepassage that
A. theBritish national anthem was originated from an 1820s song
B. David Lloyd George was an influential person at that time
C. therewere sevenofficial varsity matches between KCLand UCL
D. thelacrosse match was onefor thetwo colleges to showforgiveness
PASSAGE THREE
(1) Nike, in December last year, announced that it was getting ready to introduce a $ 350
self-lacing basketball shoe. Ever since ，sneakerheads have been highly anticipating the successor to
the 2016 HyperAdapt 1.0, Nike's first consumer-grade sneaker with power laces. Now it's finally here
at the beginning of 2019.Enter the Adapt BB, an auto-lacing，app-controlled basketball shoe that's
packing a ton of technology inside it. The highlight here is a smart motor that automatically adjusts
thelacing system to fit perfectly around your foot as soon as you putthe shoes on.
(2)While theAdapt BB is savvy enough to sense the tension needed by your feet on its own, you
can also adjust pressure from the laces using two physical buttons on your left and right shoes- -one is
for tightening and the other for loosening them. If you want to take things beyond manual touch,
though, this is where the Adapt BB really shines: You can control it with a companion app, available
for iOs andAndroid,which will let you adjust your power laces without having to touch your sneakers
at all. To do that, you just have to swipe up ( tighten) or down ( loosen) on an app setting that's aptly
9/13labeled “L" or“R”.
(3) The Adapt BB uses Bluetooth to pair with your smartphone, and the mobile app is going to
make it easy for you to save your adaptive ft settings, change the color of your LEDs and check
battery life. Nike says the sneakers can last up to 14 days on a full charge, though that will depend on
how much time you spend messing around with the power laces. And rest assured you won't be stuck
in your sneakers if the battery dies, as Nike says they' re smart enough to save energy for loosening
the laces. To charge them up，you'll place them on a custom Qi wireless mat that Nike' s including
withevery pairofAdapt BBs，and it'll take about three hours to get afull charge out ofthem.
(4)Thanks to its connected features, Nike will be able to bring new functionality to theAdapt BB
over time. With Save Your Fit, for example, players can use the app to lock in their preferred settings
for the power laces. In addition to that, Nike is working on a way to give NBA players different
tightness settings for warm-ups, and they'll be able to opt-in to these updates to get them as they
become available. Generally,over the course of a basketball game, a player's foot can expand almost a
half-size, which can affect their comfort level and ultimately have an impact on their movement and
performance onthecourt.That's exactly theproblem Nike islooking to solvewithAdapt BB.
(5)I diduse theapp to adjust thepower laces, but only slightly.It's also nice tobe able tousethe
buttons on the shoes themselves to tighten or loosen the fit, especially since you may not always have
your phone with you during a game. One of my main gripes with the HyperAdapt 1. 0 is how
uncomfortable it was. The ft was so tight that I had to go for a bigger size than I usually wear，but
that's definitely notthe case with theAdapt BB.
(6) The other great thing about Nike's Adapt is how it could benefit people with disabilities，
particularly those who aren't able to tie their own shoes. It may not be the use Nike is touting for the
Adapt BBs, but this has the potential to be a pleasant byproduct. With the ability to update the
functionality of Adapt via firmware, there's nothing preventing Nike from rollig out specific options
forthat community in thefuture.
(7)That's what is worth remembering aboutAdapt and Nike's goal is to makean entireplatform outof
it. So, while right now we have the BB basketball shoe, the tech will soon be making its way to other
sports,as well as lifestyle products. Until then, Nike's Adapt BB is the present, and you can get a pair
for yourself starting February 17th for $350- which is a much, much better price than the $ 720 for the
HyperAdapt 1.0s.
48.Thefollowing descriptions about theAdapt BB are true EXCEPTthat it
A. is much cheaper than theHyperAdapt 1.0 B. is abletofit your feet automatically
10/13C. isable tobe adjusted byhand D. ispopular amongNBAplayers

11/13“Phubber”Lane Divides Netizens
Authorities have created a unique walkway as a tongue-in-cheek solution for a modern
problem--smartphone addiction. The l-meter-wide, 100-meter-long track which leads to a shopping
mall is painted in red, blue and green, with pictures of mobile phones and words“special lane for
phubbers".And it's causeda stironline.
The word“phubber”was coined by the Macquarie Dictionary in 2012 to describe people who
stare al their phones and ignore everything else around them. The behavior can, of course, be
dangerous aroundtraffic.
“Because of thedangers ofphubbing, aspecial lanefor phone addictsis aclever way toraise
awareness oftheproblem and warm pedestrians to payattention to their safety,"say some.“It could
convince the government to consider the significance of the phubbing problem and focus on how to
deal with phubbers，”an onlinereview editorializes.
But critics question its effectiveness, saying those who stare at their phones while walking may
not notice the pathway. One news site argues few phubbers will use the lane and it will have no
practical value. It could also mislead others ，and seemany takephubbing forgranted.
Somepeople argue phubbingis ahard habit to change. Both reliable publicinfrastructure and
personal disciplineare needed.And pedestrians need to beaware oftheirsurroundings.
