PART V READING COMPREHENSION [25 MIN]
In this section there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each
with four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best
answer.
Mark your answers on Answer Sheet Two.
TEXT A
Inundated by more information than we can possibly hold in our heads, we're increasingly
handing off the job of remembering to search engines and smart phones. Google is even
reportedly working on eyeglasses that could one day recognize faces and supply details about
whoever you're looking at. But new research shows that outsourcing our memory — and
expecting that information will be continually and instantaneously available — is changing our
cognitive habits.
Research conducted by Betsy Sparrow, an assistant professor of psychology at Columbia
University, has identified three new realities about how we process information in the Internet
age. First, her experiments showed that when we don't know the answer to a question, we now
think about where we can find the nearest Web connection instead of the subject of the question
itself. A second revelation is that when we expect to be able to find information again later on, we
don't remember it as well as when we think it might become unavailable. And then there is the
researchers' final observation: the expectation that we'll be able to locate information down the
line leads us to form a memory not of the fact itself but of where we'll be able to find it.
But this handoff comes with a downside. Skills like critical thinking and analysis must
develop in the context of facts: we need something to think and reason about, after all. And these
facts can't be Googled as we go; they need to be stored in the original hard drive, our long-term
memory. Especially in the case of children, "factual knowledge must precede skill," says Daniel
Willingham, a professor of psychology, at the University of Virginia — meaning that the days ofdrilling the multiplication table and memorizing the names of the Presidents aren't over quite yet.
Adults, too, need to recruit a supply of stored knowledge in order to situate and evaluate new
information they encounter. You can't Google context.
Last, there's the possibility, increasingly terrifying to contemplate, that our machines will fail
us. As Sparrow puts it, "The experience of losing our Internet connection becomes more and more
like losing a friend." If you're going to keep your memory on your smart phone, better make sure
it's fully charged.
- 15 -81. Google's eyeglasses are supposed to________
A. improve our memory
B. function like memory
C. help us see faces better
D. work like smart phones
82. According to the passage, "cognitive habits" refers to________
A. how we deal with information
B. functions of human memory
C. the amount of information
D. the availability of information
83. Which of the following statements about Sparrow's research is CORRECT?
A. We remember people and things as much as before.
B. We remember more Internet connections than before.
C. We pay equal attention to location and content of information.
D. We tend to remember location rather than the core of facts.
84. What does the author mean by "context" ?
A. It refers to long-term memory.
B. It refers to a new situation.
C. It refers to a store of knowledge.
D. It refers to the search engine.
85. What is the implied message of the author?
A. Web connections aid our memory.
B. People differ in what to remember.
C. People need to exercise their memory.
D. People keep memory on smart phones.
TEXT B
I was a second-year medical student at the university, and was on my second day of rounds
at a nearby hospital. My university's philosophy was to get students seeing patients early in their
education. Nice idea, but it overlooked one detail: second-year students know next to nothing
about medicine.
Assigned to my team that day was an attending — a senior faculty member who was there
mostly to make patients feel they weren't in the hands of amateurs. Many attendings were
researchers who didn't have much recent hospital experience. Mine was actually an arthritis
specialist. Also along was a resident (the real boss, with a staggering mastery of medicine, at
- 16 -least to a rookie like myself). In addition, there were two interns (住院实现医生). These guys
were just as green as I was, but in a scarier way: they had recently graduated from the medical
school, so they were technically MDs.
I began the day at 6:30am. An intern and I did a quick check of our eight patients; later, we
were to present our findings to the resident and then to the attending. I had three patients and the
intern had the other five — piece of cake.
But when I arrived in the room of 71-year-old Mr. Adams, he was sitting up in bed, sweating
heavily and panting(喘着). He'd just had a hip operation and looked terrible. I listened to his lungs
with my stethoscope, but they sounded clear. Next I checked the log of his vital signs and saw that
his respiration and heart rate had been climbing, but his temperature was steady. It didn't seem
like heart failure, nor did it appear to be pneumonia. So I asked Mr. Adams what he thought was
going on.
"It's really hot in here, Doc," he replied.
So I attributed his condition to the stuffy room and told him the rest of the team would return
in a few hours. He smiled and feebly waved goodbye.
At 8:40 am., during our team meeting, "Code Blue Room 307!" blared from the
loudspeaker.
I froze.
That was Mr. Adams's room.
When we arrived, he was motionless.
The autopsy (尸体解剖) later found Mr. Adams had suffered a massive pulmonary
embolism (肺部栓塞). A blood clot had formed in his leg, worked its way to his lungs, and cut
his breathing capacity in half. His symptoms had been textbook: heavy perspiration and
shortness of breath despite clear lungs. The only thing was: I hadn't read that chapter in the
textbook yet. And I was too scared, insecure, and proud to ask a real doctor for help.
This mistake has haunted me for nearly 30 years, but what's particularly frustrating is that the
same medical education system persists. Who knows how many people have died or suffered
harm at the hands of students as naïve as I, and how many more will?
86. Why was the author doing rounds in a hospital?
A. He himself wanted to have practice.
B. Students of all majors had to do so.
C. It was part of his medical training.
D. He was on a research team.
87. We learn that the author's team members had_______
A. some professional deficiency
B. much practical experience
C. adequate knowledge
D. long been working there
- 17 -88. While the author was examining Mr. Adams, all the following symptoms caught his
attention EXCEPT______.
A. steady temperature
B. faster heart rate
C. breathing problem
D. moving difficulty
89. "His symptoms had been textbook" means that his symptoms were_______.
A. part of the textbook
B. explained in the textbook
C. no longer in the textbook
D. recently included in the textbook
90. At the end of the passage, the author expresses________about the medical education system.
A. optimism
B. hesitation
C. support
D. concern
TEXT C
The war on smoking, now five decades old and counting, is one of the nation's greatest
public health success stories — but not for everyone.
As a whole, the country has made amazing progress. In 1964, four in ten adults in the US
smoked; today fewer than two in ten do. But some states — Kentucky, South Dakota and
Alabama, to name just a few — seem to have missed the message that smoking is deadly.
Their failure is the greatest disappointment in an effort to save lives that was started on Jan.
11, 1964, by the first Surgeon General's Report on Smoking and Health. Its finding that smoking
is a cause of lung cancer and other diseases was major news then. The hazards of smoking were
just starting to emerge.
The report led to cigarette warning labels, a ban on TV ads and eventually an anti-smoking
movement that shifted the nation's attitude on smoking. Then, smokers were cool. Today, many
are outcasts, rejected by restaurants, bars, public buildings and even their own workplaces.
Millions of lives have been saved.
The formula for success is no longer guesswork: Adopt tough warning labels, air public
service ads, fund smoking cessation programs and impose smoke-free laws. But the surest way to
prevent smoking, particularly among price-sensitive teens, is to raise taxes. If you can stop them
from smoking, you've won the war. Few people start smoking after turning 19.
The real-life evidence of taxing power is powerful. The 10 states with the lowest adult
smoking rates slap an average tax of $2.42 on every pack — three times the average tax in the
states with the highest smoking rates.
- 18 -New York has the highest cigarette tax in the country, at $4.35 per pack, and just 12 percent
of teens smoke — far below the national average of 18 percent. Compare that with Kentucky,
where taxes are low (60 cents), smoking restrictions are weak and the teen smoking rate is double
New York's. Other low-tax states have similarly dismal records.
Enemies of high tobacco taxes cling to the tired argument that they fall disproportionately on
the poor. True, but so do the deadly effects of smoking — far worse than a tax. The effect of the
taxes is amplified further when the revenue is used to fund initiatives that help smokers quit or
persuade teens not to start.
Anti-smoking forces have plenty to celebrate this week, having helped avoid 8 million
premature deaths in the past 50 years. But as long as 3,000 adolescents and teens take their first
puff each day, the war is not won.
91. What does "counting" mean in the context?
A. Including.
B. Calculating.
C. Relying on.
D. Continuing.
92. According to the context, "Their failure" refers to_________.
A. those adults who continue to smoke
B. those states that missed the message
C. findings of the report
D. hazards of smoking
93. The following are all efforts that led to the change of attitude on smoking EXCEPT______.
A. cigarette warning labels
B. rejection by the public
C. anti-smoking campaigns
D. anti-smoking legislation
94. According to the author, raising tax on cigarettes_______.
A. is unfair to the poor
B. is an effective measure
C. increases public revenue
D. fails to solve the problem
95. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How to stage anti-smoking campaigns.
B. The effects of the report on smoking and health.
C. The efforts to cut down on teenage smoking.
D. Tax as the surest path to cut smoking.

Attachment Parenting is not Indulgent Parenting. Attachment parents do not "spoil" their
children. Spoiling is done when a child is given everything that they want regardless of what they
need and regardless of what is practical. Indulgent parents give toys for tantrums (发脾气), ice
cream for breakfast. Attachment parents don't give their children everything that they want, they
give their children everything that they need. Attachment parents believe that love and comfort
are free and necessary. Not sweets or toys.
Attachment Parenting is not "afraid of tears" parenting. Our kids cry. The difference is that
we understand that tantrums and tears come from emotions and not manipulation. And our
children understand this too. They cry and have tantrums sometimes, of course. But they do this
because their emotions are so overwhelming that they need to get it out. They do not expect to be
"rewarded" for their strong negative emotions; they simply expect that we will listen. We pick up
our babies when they cry, and we respond to the tears of our older children because we believe
firmly that comfort is free, love is free, and that when a child has need for comfort and love, it is
our job to provide those things. We are not afraid of tears. We don't avoid them. We hold our
children through them and teach them that when they are hurt or frustrated we are here to comfort
them and help them work through their emotions.
Attachment Parenting is not Clingy Parenting. I do not cling to my children. In fact, I'm
pretty free-range. As soon as they can move they usually move away from me and let me set up a
chase as they crawl, run, skip and hop on their merry way to explore the world. Sure, I carry them
and hug them and chase them and kiss them and rock them and sleep with them. But this is not me
following them everywhere and pulling them back to me. This is me being a home base. The
"attachment" comes from their being allowed to attach to us, not from us attaching to them like
parental leeches.
Attachment Parenting is not Selfish Parenting. It is also not selfless parenting. We are not
doing it for us, and we are not doing it to torment ourselves.
Attachment parenting is not Helicopter Parenting. I don't hover. I supervise. I follow, I
teach, I demonstrate, I explain. I don't slap curious hands away. I show how to do things safely. I
let my child do the things that my child wishes to do, first with help and then with supervision
and finally with trust. I don't insist that my 23 month old hold my hand when we walk on the
sidewalk because I know that I can recall him with my voice because he trusts me to allow him
to explore and he trusts me to explain when something is dangerous and to help him satisfy his
curiosities safely.
Most of the negative things that I hear about "attachment parents" are completely off-base
and describe something that is entirely unlike Attachment Parenting. Attachment Parenting is
child-centric and focuses on the needs of the child. Children need structure, rules, and boundaries.
Attachment Parents simply believe that the child and the parent are allies, not adversaries. And
that children are taught, not trained.

CLOZE答案详解
31. [A] 句意为：电是日常生活的一部分，如今，我们已经习以为常，以至
于开灯或开电视时很少仔细考虑电的问题。so…that…是固定搭配，意思是“如
此……以至于……”，故答案为[A]。
32. [C] 句意为：晚上灯光照亮的马路使人们自由通行，使交通畅通无阻。
traffic意为“交通”;pedestrian意为“行人”，与空格前的people词义重复; car
和truck都指具体的车辆类型，含义过于狭窄。综合考虑，此处应填入traffic。
33. [B] 句意为：广告中使用的霓虹灯已经成为了每个现代化城市的一大特
色。appearance意为“外观”;character意为“特征，特色”;distinction意为
“区别”;surface意为“表面”。根据句意，答案为[B]。
34. [D] 句意为：在家里，很多节省劳动力的设备都是由电带动的。四个选项都是复合形容词，labour-saving意为“节省劳动力的”;time-saving意为“节
省时间的”;energy-saving意为“节能的”;money-saving意为“省钱的”。根据
句意，此处填入labour-saving最合适。
35. [C] 句意为：即使当我们关上床头灯，睡得很熟时，电仍然在为我们工
作……。only意为“只有”;rarely意为“少有地”;even意为“即
使”;frequently意为“频繁地，屡次地”。根据句意，此处应填入even。

38. [B] bother to do sth. 意为“费心做某事”;hesitate to do sth.意为“做某事
犹豫不决”;remember to do sth.指“记得去做某事”。此处是说，我们费心思考
它们为什么或如何运行，故答案为[B]。
39. [C] 句意：直到这些交通工具出问题时，我们才会费心思考它们为什么
或如何运行。前半句出现了rarely，含否定意义，与until搭配使用，意为“直
到……才……”，故答案为[C]。
40. [A] 句意为：1959年的夏天，负责给纽约供电的发电厂真的出了问题。
当句子中没有其他的助动词时，可以在动词前使用助动词do表示对该动作的强
调，助动词do随人称和时态而变化。因此，did符合题意。

是固定搭配，意为“停住，停滞不前”。terminal意为“终点”;breakdown意为
“故障”;pause意为“暂停”，均不符合句意，故排除。

间，也得自己不愉快地步行下楼梯。although意为“虽然”;when意为“当……

此处填入even if最合适。

PART VI WRITING
SECTION A COPOSITION
How I Deal with Stress
In today’s increasingly competitive society, the tempo①of people’s living is
speeding up and more and more people are loaded with a growing amount of stress
and tension. Everyone feels overwhelmed②and stressed in some way, as stress is an
unavoidable consequence of life. The moments when I was caught up in extreme
stress and overwhelm are when I was experiencing great difficulties finding
satisfactory jobs.
So what can we do when we feel overwhelmed and stressed about the things
over which we have little control? In my opinion, one way to work off③stress is to
get moving. When I am stressed, I just take a walk, after which I always feel calmer
and relaxed. Besides, I’ve learned to confide my stress to④others, which does help a
lot. Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and encouragement.
Last but not least, I try to get enough rest and eat well, both of which enable me to be
healthy enough and properly fueled to help me de-stress⑤.
As is mentioned above, like it or not, it is impossible for us to live completely
free of stress. However, as long as we can come up with our own ways to cope with
it, stress will not discourage us from living a pleasant life.
