II. 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.
“Zootopia” Broke Disney Records
Last weekend, the latest Disney movie, “Zootopia,” broke records. The movie had the
largest opening weekend for a Disney animation（动画片）. People across the United States
bought more then $75 million worth of tickets.
“Zootopia” is a city of animals. The movie stars a rabbit police officer and a fox criminal
(21) team up to find a missing otter（水獭）. He is among several animals that have
suddenly disappeared from the city.
“Zootopia” (22) (praise) for its sharp humor and strong message since its release.
The film explores racism and other issues in its description of relations (23) two kinds of
animals in the city.
Jared Bush and Phil Johnston wrote “Zootopia.” They told reporters that it started out as a
spy movie (24) (set) in several different contexts. But they changed the story (25)
they found the animal world especially interesting. They said to (26) something like this.
“What’s this world like? What’s the history of this world?” And then, Bush said, they went to the
experts. Not only(27) the writers speak with people who study couture and group behavior, but also they
talked with animal experts like zookeepers.
The creators have noted that the variety of animals was not easy (28) (produce) in
drawings. In the movie, 64 species live in multiple neighborhoods (29) (represent) different
animals’ living environments. Disney says “Zootopia” is its (30) (complex) animation yet.
The extra effort is certainly paying off at the box office.

A. acknowledgement B. actually C. commonly D. confirm
E. conscious F. crack G. eliminate H. independent
I. log J. shortcut K. unimaginative
Why your Password May Not Be As Safe As It Seems
Does “qaz2ws” strike you as a nice safe password? What about “adgjmptw”? An analysis
has found them to be among the passwords that are most 31 used, which of course means
they are not secure at all.
When ten million passwords were leaked on to the internet, they appeared to 32 that
attempts by internet security experts to make us improve our password strength had been
successful, even if, in the specific case of the leaked passwords, they are also completely
pointless.
While many of the passwords were still single words, such as “password”, there was also a
clear attempt by many to make them harder to 33 . The problem was that people seemed to do
so in the same way.
“Users are becoming slightly more 34 of what makes a password strong,” explained
WP Engine, an internet company that performed the analysis. “For instance, adding a number or
two at the end of a text phrase. That makes it better, right?”
But 35 no. They found that almost half a million passwords did this---and in 20 per cent
of those all people did was put the number “1” at the end.
Perhaps this is why some companies are now trying to move gradually beyond passwords.
Yahoo! is giving users the option to associate their mobile phone with an account, had have a
single use passwords texted to it each time they want to 36 on.Although the services is voluntary, Dylan Casey an executive at Yahoo!, said that it was
“the first step to 37 passwords”. He said it was a(n) 38 that it was increasingly hard for
people to remember all the passwords they had. “I don’t think we, as an industry, have done a
good enough job of putting ourselves in the shoes of the people using our products,” he said.
It would certainly be a more sensible strategy than same people’s improving upon
“password” by using “wasspord” or, tran5p053d numb3r5 f0r 13tt3r5.
“We are, for the most part, predictably 39 when it comes to choosing passwords,
despite a decade of warnings from password strength checkers during sign-ups,” said WP
Engine. “We love taking a(n) 40 , and so do password crackers.
III. 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.
Ever been just about to call someone when the phone rings and the person in question is on
the other end? Or have you experienced a sudden feeling of unease or danger even though you’re
in a(n) 41 situation? If you don’t believe in it, you’ll put it down to 42 and on overactive
imagination. But some people believe it is 43 that there is a sixth sense beyond smell, taste,
touch, hearing and sight. Now, scientists are carrying out experiments not only to prove that it
exists, but also to find out how you can 44 it to your advantage.
Dean Radin, a researcher in California, has set up the Boundary Institute in Los Altos and is
currently using its website to recruit（招募）4,000 people in 57 countries to find out if there are
any 45 instances of sixth sense or, as he calls it, “precognition”—the ability to predict
outcomes. The results so far are 46 . In a card test, where you have to 47 which of the five
cards on a computer screen will be turned over to reveal a picture, the top scorers hit the right
card 48% of the time—the 48 of this happening are 2,669 to 1.
49 , Radin’s most famous study involves participants looking at a variety of images that
are designed to stimulate a specific responses. In the experiment, participants sit alone in a room
in front of a computer, with devices attached to their bodies to measure changes in skin
resistance and blood flow, which are measures of emotional arousal. Radin has found that one in
six people has a rise in arouse before they see the road accident-type pictures, while remaining
50 before the tree-type pictures.But even if you do accept that a sixth sense exists, the question is, does it actually 51 ?
Radin says it does. “the future of our civilisation depends on 52 that are being made now,
whether it’s about how we farm our food, how we get rid of our waste or whether we allow
chemicals to be included in everyday products. We don’t have answers to these important
questions, yet what we decide on will 53 our lives for decades or longer. Anything we can do
to improve our ability to predict future events is well worth the 54 ,” he says. “If it turns out
that some people can genuinely forecast the future some of the time, as I believe the data shows,
then 55 this ability is as important as cutting-edge science.

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 read.
(A)
What happens in a particular class on a particular day depends on the interactions that occur
between the teacher, the students,, and the material being studied. The classroom context,generally speaking, includes all those factors that influence what happens during teaching and
learning. These factors operate on different levels.
The physical context, for example, influences what happens in the classroom. Space may
restrict participation, depending on how a teacher interprets the situation. Some teachers use their
surroundings to promote learning. Notice boards reflect themes or topics being studied; a display
area presents students’ written work for others to read. Of course, some teachers remain unaware
of the physical environment that they and their students inhabit together. A room, after all, is just
a room. Yet the physical environment of the classroom affects the nature and types of
interactions that will occur. Straight rows of tables, for example, are favourable to classroom
lectures and turn-taking routines in which students one by one, recite answers to a teacher’s
questions.
A room isn’t just a room for teachers who seek to make the physical environment suitable
for interactive learning. Interactive learning invites thinking, reading, writing, speaking,
listening, and sharing. Such classrooms are arranged for individuals rather than for the “class” as
a whole; they welcome students as active participants. Various physical arrangements encourage
interactive learning, but they depend on the size of the room and the furniture that is available.
A class can be organized for individual, group, or whole-class activities. Students are
initially assigned seats at a combination of small and large tables. However, when the students
work individually or in groups, they are free to abandon the assigned seating. The chalkboard
occupies a central position in the room to accommodate whole-class study.

A. teachers’ roles
B. themes being studied
C. a display area
D. students’ participation
57. Which of the following is the most suitable for a classroom lecture?

A. classrooms should be arranged for the class as a whole
B. the chalkboard should be abandoned during group work
C. seating can be changed for different classroom activities
D. interaction can be encouraged by combining small and large tables
59. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The physical classroom environment varies with different types of interaction.
B. The physical environment is a deciding factor for a successful lesson.
C. Interactive learning depends on individuals’ active involvement.
D. Group work has become a trend in classroom teaching.

(C)
We’ve all heard the dangers of helicopter parenting. Remaining too involved in a kid’s
life, especially throughout college, can lead to depression, lack of self-reliance and feelings of
entitlement.
This wisdom seems sound. But some academics and educators now say they see signs of a
troubling resistance. The concern: that too much of warnings and horror stories—the cover of
Julie Lythcott-Haims’ bestseller How to Raise an Adult instructs moms and dads to avoid “the
overparenting trap” —is discouraging parents from getting involved at all.
“Yes, parents can be intruders,” says Marjorie Savage, a researcher in the University of
Minnesota. “At the same time, there are increasing examples of parents refusing to step up when
students genuinely need their family.” At Hofstra University, for example, parents now ask
embarrassedly about mental-health and campus-safety resources, as if bringing up those topics
were forbidden, says Branka Kristie, who heads the family-outreach programs. And Savage
recalls talking to a mom who kept quiet about her son’s signs of depression until right before he
failed a semester. She did not want to “helicopter in.”
That means colleges, which have spent the past decade learning to cope with parents who
get too involved, now have a different problem. In recent years, hundreds of colleges have either
launched or increased their parent offices, which serve as one-stop shops for moms and dads
looking to make complaints, report problem and generally stay in touch.
Much of this began, of course, because schools were forced to cope with a generation of
students connected with their parents like never before. On average, they communicate 22.1
times per week, according to research from Barbara Hofer, a psychology professor at
Middlebury College. That’s more than twice the rate of a decade ago, before almost every
student had a smartphone.
With some moms and dads thinking twice of contacting the school in the first place, some
programs are being used to encourage a more balanced approach, often through email and other
social media. Hofstra’s Kristic advises parents to “be a guide, while granting that the student
owns the journey.” That means asking questions, listening to answers, being patient and trustingkids to resolve their own problems. But if issues persist, or if a student is in serious mental or
physical danger, it also means hopping in the chopper, at least for a little while.
63. In paragraph 3, parents of Hofstra University students are mentioned to .
A. show that parents have gone to the other extreme of overparenting
B. provide educators with a new understanding of overparenting
C. give a further example of supportive overparenting
D. place emphasis on the necessity of overparenting
64. The phrase “hopping in the chopper” in the last paragraph refers to .
A. having trust in kids B. stepping in to solve kids’
problems
C .joining a family-outreach program D. turning to social media for help
65. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Mental-health and campus-safety resources are forbidden topics among parents.
B. How to Raise an Adult encourages parents to get engaged in family education.
C. Overparenting is no longer a problem because of students’ self-reliance.
D. There was less student-parent communication in the past than today.
66. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Why Colleges Need Helicopter Parents B. How to Improve Parent-school
Relations
C. Why Overparenting Is in Question D. How to Communicate More as
Parents
Section C
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the
box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A. The two types of comics are created in very different ways.
B. But for people who love comic books, they can be a fantastic escape from the tough
realities of modern life.
C. They find it hard to understand why comic books appeal so many people.
D. Comics have lost its charm in America.
E. In Japan, the contrast couldn’t be greater.

Japanese and American Comic Book Heroes
To some people, the idea of reading comic books seems childish. 67 Comics are
published globally, but Japanese and American versions dominate the market despite the fact—
or perhaps because—they differ in a number of ways.
68 American comics are a group effort, beginning with the story-writing team and the
artist who produces drawings of initial ideas. When these drafts are finalized, the outlines,
dialogue, and color are added. Also, creators of comic superheroes sometimes sell their titles to
other creative teams, who keep the superhero “alive.” This is in sharp contrast to manga（日本
漫画）creators, who are often individual authors merely responsible for the storylines, dialogue,
and artwork. When a manga creator decides to stop, so does the hero.
Another difference is the appearance of the heroes. 69 Also, manga heroes rarely look
Japanese, and the stories do not typically take place in a Japanese context. However, American
comic heroes, despite their masks, are proudly American and are admired for their readiness to
defend U.S. cities.
Probably the biggest difference is the readership. Up until the 1950s, American comic
books were read by both children and adults, with popular titles such as Superman selling as
many as half a million copies per month. The arrival of TV, however, led to a decline in sales so
that now the average reader of an American comic book is a teenage boy with an interest in
superheroes. 70 There manga sales are still booming, reaching as high as $7 billion each
year largely because readers range from young boys and girls up to middle-aged men and
women. Manga for men and boys, like the American comics, tend to be action-oriented, while
manga for women and girls tend to be focused on relationships.
IV. Summary Writing
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the
passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Shyness
If you suffer from shyness, you are not alone, for shyness is a universal phenomenon. It is
not surprising that social scientists are exploring its environmental causes.
The first environmental cause of shyness may be a child’s home and family life. Today’s
children are growing up in smaller and smaller families, with fewer and fewer relatives livingnearby. Growing up in homes in which both parents work full time, children may not have the
socializing experience of frequent visits by neighbors and friends. Because of their lack of social
skills, they may begin to feel shy when they start school.
A second environmental cause of shyness in an individual may be one’s culture. In a large
study conducted in Japan, 57 percent of participants rated themselves as shy. Researchers Lynne
Henderson and Philip Zimbardo say, “One explanation is that in Japan, an individual’s
performance success is credited externally to parents, grandparents, teachers, coaches, and
others, while failure is entirely blamed on the person.” Therefore, Japanese learn not to take risks
in public and rely instead on group-shared decisions.
Technology may also play a role. In the United States, the number of young people who
report being shy has risen from 40 percent to 50 percent in recent years. Due to our huge
advances in technology, watching television, playing video games, and surfing the Web have
replaced recreational activities that involve social interaction for many young people. Adults,
too, are becoming more isolated as a result of technology. Face-to-face interactions with bank
clerks, gas station attendants, and shop assistants are no longer necessary because people can use
machines to do their banking, fill their gas tanks, and order goods. In short, they become shy.
It appears that most people have experienced shyness at some time in their lives. Therefore,
if you are shy, you have lots of company.
