Grammar and Vocabulary Section A Directions: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages 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. (A) Every object tells a story. Even the most ordinary objects can present to us powerful images. Sometimes it is the ordinary nature of these objects that actually (21)________(make) them so extraordinary. Such is the case with an old leather shoe in a museum in Alaska. At first glance it does not look like much. It is a woman's shoe of a style popular in the 1890s. But what is unique(独特的) about this shoe is (22)________ it was found. It was discovered on the Checkout Pass, the famous trail used by the people seeking gold in Alaska. Who it belonged to or why it was left there (23)________ (be) not known. Was it perhaps dropped by accident as the woman climbed up the 1500 stairs carved outface? Or did she throw away goods that she didn't need in order to travel (24)________(light)? Over 100, 000 people with "gold fever" made this trip hoping to become millionaires. Few of them understood that on their way they would have to cross a harsh wildness. Unprepared for such a dangerous journey, many died of starvation and exposure (25)________ the cold weather. The Canadian government finally started requiring the gold seekers to bring one ton of supplies with them. This was thought to be enough for a person to survive for one year. They would carry their supplies in backpacks(背包) each (26)________ (weigh) up to fifty pounds; it usually took at least 40 trips to get everything to the top and over the pass. Whoever dropped the shoe must (27)________ (be) a brave and determined woman. Perhaps she was successful and made (28)________ to Alaska. Perhaps she had to turn back in defeat. No one will ever know for sure, but what we do know is that she took part in one of 第 3 页 共 18 页上海最大家教平台---嘉惠家教 2万余上海老师任您选(在职老师、机构老师、985学霸大学生应有尽有 ,+V: jiajiao6767 ) the greatest adventures in the 19th century. Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. argued B. content C. determine D. diverse E. particular F. identified G. awareness H. pursuing I. persuasion J. circumstance K. making SCIENTISTS study it. An increasing number of self-help books tell us the way to find it. In fact, ___29___ happiness has been called the ultimate goal in life by countless talks, TV shows and newspaper and magazine columns. However, happiness, as it was before, is still hard to find. US psychologist Ed Diener, author of Happiness: Unlocking the Mysteries of Psychological Wealth, may have the answer:“a combination of life satisfaction and having more positive than negative emotions”. This may sound straightforward (易懂的) enough, but it still doesn’t explain what can ___30___ people’s happiness. And as The Washington Post ___31___ in an article last month, creating a definition of happiness that is true for people around the world can seem as difficult as being happy. For example, who is happier: someone who has enough money to buy a new mobile phone or someone who has a family dinner after years away from home? Nevertheless, as many surveys suggest, one of the most important parts of happiness is wealth. The UN’s World Happiness Report 2015 shows that countries with the highest levels of happiness are developed ones, with Switzerland, Iceland and Denmark ___32___ up the top three. But on the other hand, Bhutan, one of the poorest countries in the world, was ___33___ as the happiest country in Asia and the eighth happiest in the world in research by Business Week in 2012. Perhaps the biggest problem is how the idea of “happiness” varies in ___34___ cultures and languages. As The Washington Post noted, the word “happy” can refer to different things in English. It might mean a brief mood you feel when someone surprises you with a gift or you think of friends and family. Or it could refer to ___35___ with your life. But not all languages refer to happiness the same way. In Danish, for example, happiness is often translated as “lykke”, a term that can describe everyday well-being that might come from a nice cup of coffee or a slice of bread with cheese. In Chinese, the word for happiness is xingfu, which is used to describe a good life or a ___36___ that makes people feel free from worry. For a good mood, however, kuaile is used more often. Another difference in the ___37___ of happiness, as The Washington Post put it, is that Western countries tend to have quite an “individualistic view of human life”. In China and many other Asian countries, social relationships, with family in ___38___, are one of the most important factors in a person’s well-being. So, are you happy? And what makes you happy? III. Reading Comprehension Section A 第 4 页 共 18 页上海最大家教平台---嘉惠家教 2万余上海老师任您选(在职老师、机构老师、985学霸大学生应有尽有 ,+V: jiajiao6767 ) 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 standard research report, regardless of the field or the intended reader, contains four major sections: Problem Section. The first section is the statement of the problem with which the research project is __39__. There should be an explanation of the ___40__-- social, economic, medical, psychological, educational, etc. -- of the question; ___41___, why the investigation was worth conducting. Thus, we must explain that the question is thought to have significant relevance to certain problems and might ___42__ some sort of regulations on them. As a part, a review of past researches is recommended, which consists of summaries of the __43____of previous researchers with some assessment of the value to your recent research. Procedures Section. This section___44___ , with as much data as possible, exactly how the study was carried out. It usually includes description of any necessary equipment, how the subjects were selected, how many ___45___were made and when, what statistical technique was used to ____46___ the findings, etc. The goal of this section is to allow the reader to redo the experiment if such were desired to ___47___your findings. ___48___ Section. The third section, perhaps the most important, is the presentation of what is obtained from the investigation. The basic rule in this section is to give all the data relative to the research question __49___ asked. If the experiments undertaken fail to prove anything, or if the data was inadequate or ___50____expectations, the report should be honestly written and as complete as possible, just as it would be if the hypothesis(假设) were totally proven by the research. Discussion Section. The final required section of a research report is a discussion of the results obtained and a statement of any conclusions drawn from them. Of primary importance is the conclusion for future decision making.__51____, the discussion section must assess the research results fully: were they validly obtained, are they complete or limited, are they ___52__ over a wide range of circumstances? The discussion section should also point out what question remain___53___ and perhaps suggest directions for further research. 39. A. focused B. concerned C. satisfied D. concentrated 40. A. potential B. existence C. significance D. implication 41. A. in other words B. for example C. as a result D. on the whole 42. A. result from B. occur to C. stand for D. lead to 43.

A. confirm B. protest C. convince D. suspect 48. A. Investigations B. Questions C. Results D. Expectations 49. A. reluctantly B. normally C. appropriately D. initially 50.

A. unanswered B. unprocessed C. discussed D. investigated 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) It’s nice to have people of like mind around. Agreeable people boost your confidence and allow you to relax and feel comfortable. Unfortunately, that comfort can hinder the very learning that can expand your company and your career. It’s nice to have people agree, but you need conflicting perspectives to dig out the truth. If everyone around you has similar views, your work will suffer from confirmation bias (偏颇). Take a look at your own network. Do your contacts share your point of view on most subjects? If yes, it’s time to shake things up. As a leader, it can be challenging to create an environment in which people will freely disagree and argue, but as the saying goes:From confrontation comes brilliance. It’s not easy for most people to actively seek conflict. Many spend their lives trying to avoid arguments. There’s no need to go out and find people you hate, but you need to do some self-assessment to determine where you have become stale in your thinking. You may need to start by encouraging your current network to help you identify your blind spots. Passionate, energetic debate does not require anger and hard feelings to be effective. But it does require moral strength. Once you have worthy opponents, set some ground rules so everyone understands responsibilities and boundaries. The objective of this debating game is not to win but to get to the truth that will allow you to move faster, farther, and better. Fierce debating can hurt feelings, particularly when strong personalities are involved. Make sure you check in with your opponents so that they are not carrying the emotion of the battles beyond the battlefield. Break the tension with smiles and humor to reinforce the idea that this is friendly discourse and that all are working toward a common goal. Reward all those involved in the debate sufficiently when the goals are reached. Let your sparring partners (拳击陪练) know how much you appreciate their contribution. The more they feel appreciated, the more they’ll be willing to get into the ring next time. 54. What does the author suggest leaders do? A. Avoid arguments with business partners. B. Encourage people to disagree and argue. 第 6 页 共 18 页上海最大家教平台---嘉惠家教 2万余上海老师任您选(在职老师、机构老师、985学霸大学生应有尽有 ,+V: jiajiao6767 ) C. Build a wide and strong business network. D. Seek advice from their worthy competitors. 55. What is the purpose of holding a debate? A. To find out the truth about an issue. B. To remove misunderstandings. C. To build up people’s moral strength. D. To look for worthy opponents. 56. What advice does the author give to people engaged in a fierce debate? A. They listen carefully to their opponents’ views. B. They show due respect for each other’s beliefs. C. They present their views clearly and explicitly. D. They take care not to hurt each other’s feelings. 57. How should we treat our rivals after a successful debate? A. Try to make peace with them. B. Invite them to the ring next time. C. Try to make up the differences. D. Acknowledge their contribution. (B) Micro-Enterprise Credit for Street Youth Introduction Although small-scale business training and credit programs have become more common throughout the world, relatively little attention has been paid to the need to direct such chances to the street youth. Over the past nine years, Street Kids International (S.K.I.) has been working with partner organizations in Africa, Latin America and India to support the economic lives of street children. The purpose of this paper is to share some of the lessons S.K.I. has learned. Background Typically, children end up on the streets not due to a single cause, but to a combination of factors: a lack of adequately funded(资助) schools, the demand for income at home, family breakdown and violence. The street may be attractive to children as a place to find adventurous play and money. However, it is also a place where some children are exposed, with little or no protection, to unfair employment, urban crime, and abuse. Street Business Partnerships S.K.I. has worked with partner organizations in Latin America, Africa and India to develop opportunities for street children to earn income. *The S.K.I. Bicycle Courier Service first started in the Sudan. Participants in this enterprise were supplied with bicycles, which they used to deliver parcels and messages, but they were required to pay for it gradually from their wages. *The Youth Skills Enterprise plan in Zambia is a joint program with the Red Cross Society. Street youths are supported to start their own small business through life skills training and access to credit. Lessons learned The following lessons have been learned from the programs. *It is critical for all loans(贷款) to be linked to training programs that include the development of basic business and life skills. *Small loans are provided at first for purchasing equipments such as bicycles, shoe shining kits. 第 7 页 共 18 页上海最大家教平台---嘉惠家教 2万余上海老师任您选(在职老师、机构老师、985学霸大学生应有尽有 ,+V: jiajiao6767 ) *All S.K.I. programs have charged interest on the loans, primarily to get the business runners used to the concept of paying interest on borrowed money. Generally the rates have been modest. Conclusion There is a need to recognize the importance of access to credit for poor young people seeking to fulfill economic needs. 58.The organization, S.K.I., aims to ______. A. provide schools and social support for street children B. give business training and loans to street children C. share the lessons S.K.I learned to help street children D. draw the attention of the government to street children 59.This passage implies that with the help of S.K.I, street children may ______. A. reject paid employment B. leave their families C. set up their own business D. employ other children 60.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. The link of all loans to training programs is crucial. B. The youth Skills Enterprise Initiative in Zambia works with another organization. C. Interest is charged for the loans in all S.K.I programs. D. The S.K.I Bicycle Courier Service provides the participants with free bicycles. (C) "There is one and only one social responsibility of business" wrote Milton Friedman, a Nobel Prize- winning economist "That is, to use its resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profits." But even if you accept Friedman's premise and regard corporate social responsibility(CSR) policies as a waste of shareholders's money, things may not be absolutely clear-act. New research suggests that CSR may create monetary value for companies at least when they are prosecuted for corruption. The largest firms in America and Britain together spend more than $15 billion a year on CSR, according to an estimate by EPG, a consulting firm. This could add value to their businesses in three ways. First, consumers may take CSR spending as a "signal" that a company's products are of high quality. Second, customers may be willing to buy a company's products as an indirect may to donate to the good causes it helps. And third, through a more diffuse "halo effect" whereby its good deeds earn it greater consideration from consumers and others. Previous studies on CSR have had trouble differentiating these effects because consumers can be affected by all three. A recent study attempts to separate them by looking at bribery prosecutions under American's Foreign Corrupt Practices Act(FCPA).It argues that since prosecutors do not consume a company's products as part of their investigations,they could be influenced only by the halo effect. The study found that , among prosecuted firms , those with the most comprehensive CSR programmes tended to get more lenient penalties. Their analysis ruled out the possibility that it was firm's political influence, rather than their CSR stand, that accounted for the leniency: Companies that contributed more to political campaigns did not receive lower fines. In all, the study concludes that whereas prosecutors should only evaluate a case based on its merits, they do seem to be influenced by a company's record in CSR. "We estimate that either eliminating a substantial labour-rights concern, such as child labour, or increasing corporate giving by about20% result 第 8 页 共 18 页上海最大家教平台---嘉惠家教 2万余上海老师任您选(在职老师、机构老师、985学霸大学生应有尽有 ,+V: jiajiao6767 ) in fines that generally are 40% lower than the typical punishment for bribing foreign officials." says one researcher. Researchers admit that their study does not answer the question at how much businesses ought to spend on CSR. Nor does it reveal how much companies are banking on the halo effect, rather than the other possible benefits, when they companies get into trouble with the law, evidence of good character can win them a less costly punishment. 61.The author views Milton Friedman's statement about CSR with_________. A. uncertainty B. skepticism C. approval D.tolerance 62.According to Paragraph 2, CSR helps a company by_________. A. guarding it against malpractices B. protecting it from consumers C. winning trust from consumers. D. raising the quality of its products 63.The expression "more lenient"(line 2,Para.4)is closest in meaning to __________. A. less controversial B. more lasting C. more effective D.less severe 64.When prosecutors evaluate a case, a company's CSR record________. A. comes across as reliable evidence B. has an impact on their decision C. increases the chance of being penalized D. constitutes part of the investigation 65.Which of the following is true of CSR according to the last paragraph? A. The necessary amount of companies spending on it is unknown B. Companies' financial capacity for it has been overestimated C. Its negative effects on businesses are often overlooked D. It has brought much benefit to the banking industry Section C Directions: Read the following passage carefully. 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. I learned that a poorly worded apology can result in lasting anger. B. Righting a wrong can be especially challenging when it involves family members, who may be inclined to cite history as an excuse for hurtful behavior. C. I suggest apologizing for your own part in the incident, however small it may be. D. I recently discovered that a sincere apology can be a powerful medicine with surprising value for the giver as well as he recipient. E. The best apologies are short and don’t include explanations that can undo them F. And even when an apology is offered with the best of intentions, it can be seriously undermined by the way in which it is worded Most people say “I’m sorry” many times a day for a host of trivial affronts — accidentally bumping into someone or failing to hold open a door. These apologies are easy and usually readily accepted, often with a response like, “No problem.” However, when “I’m sorry” are the words 第 9 页 共 18 页上海最大家教平台---嘉惠家教 2万余上海老师任您选(在职老师、机构老师、985学霸大学生应有尽有 ,+V: jiajiao6767 ) needed to right truly hurtful words, acts or inaction, they can be the hardest ones to say. ________66________. _______67_________. After learning that a neighbor who had assaulted me verbally was angry about an oversight I was not aware I had committed, I wrote a letter in the hope of ending the hostility. Without offering any excuses, I apologized for my overnight in etiquette and respect. I said I was not asking for or expecting forgiveness. Then I delivered the letter with a jar of my homemade jam. Expecting nothing in return, I was greatly relieved when my doorbell rang and the neighbor thanked me warmly for what I had said and done. According to psychologist Harriet Lerner, apologies followed by rationalizations are “never satisfying” and can even be harmful. When “but” is tagged onto an apology, it’s an excuse that counters the sincerity of the original message. ________68__________,”she wrote in her new book Why Won’t You Apologize? Nor should a request for forgiveness be part of an apology. The offended party may accept a sincere apology but still be unready to forgive the mistake. Forgiveness, should it come, may depend on a demonstration going forward that offense will not be repeated. _________69_________. History can be used as an explanation, not an excuse. It should involve a conversation that allows the hurt party to express anger and pain if an apology, however sincere, is to heal a broken connection,” Lerner said. “I’m sorry” are the two most healing words in the English language. Knowing how to say “I’m sorry” is an ability to take a clear look at how our behavior affects others and to assume responsibility for acting at another person’s expense. IV.

I used to joke that I spoke French like a 3-year-old. Until I met a French 3-year-old and couldn’t keep the conversation.This was after a year of intense study, including at least two hours a day with self- instruction software and weekend classes, followed by two weeks of an immersion program at one of the top language schools in France. My failure was in fact quite unremarkable. Despit advertising claims, learning a foreign language is a challenging task for any adult. In the end, though, it turns out that spending a year “not learning” French may have been the best things I could have done for my 57-year-old brain. In the last few years. I was unable to hold a list of four grocery items in my mind. So to reassure myself that nothing was wrong, I took a cognitive assessment just before tackling French. The result were anything but reassuring: I scored below average for my age group in nearly all of the categories, especailly on the composite memory test and the visual memory test. After a year of struggling with the language, I retook cognitive assessment, and the results shocked me. My scores had improved, placing me above average in 7 of 10 categories, and average in the other three. Studying a language had been like drinking from a mental fountain of youth. What might explain such an improvement? Researchers at the Chinese University of HongKong and Northwestern University noted that the cognitive tasks involved in language study— 第 10 页 共 18 页上海最大家教平台---嘉惠家教 2万余上海老师任您选(在职老师、机构老师、985学霸大学生应有尽有 ,+V: jiajiao6767 ) like working memory, inductive reasoning, sound discrimination and task switching — map closely related to the areas of the brain that are most associated with declines due to aging.

Not only is that a far more useful and enjoyable activity than an abstract brain game, but as a reward for your efforts, you can treat yourself to a trip abroad.

Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following news. Every now and then, Chinese writers are qualified for International recognition. But seldom do they win. One of those awards is the Hans Christian Andersen Prize, the highest international honor that can be given to an author of children’s books. No Chinese writer had ever won it, until April 4, when 62-year-old Cao Wenxuan received the prize. Cao, a professor of Chinese literature at Peking University, received the honor at the Bologna Children’s Book Fair in Italy. Patricia Aldana, this year’s president of Hans Christian Andersen Prize jury, applauded Cao’s “deeply humanistic” books. These novels recognize that life can be tragic for children, and that redemption can be found in human kindness. Filling children with good virtues for the sake of human kind is something that Cao emphasizes. In an interview with the Zhengzhou Evening News, he said, “It’s time for us to alter our 第 14 页 共 18 页上海最大家教平台---嘉惠家教 2万余上海老师任您选(在职老师、机构老师、985学霸大学生应有尽有 ,+V: jiajiao6767 ) understanding of reading.

Just as the picture 1 and picture 2 vividly indicate, the studying pattern varies greatly. To begin with, defining a top student is completely different. Compared with China, whose criteria of a top student is nothing but good grades and obedience, a top student in America includes more requirements in extra-curricular activities, such as a captain of basketball team, a science maniac and an artistic youth. As for picture 2, most Chinese students spend most of their time in required courses and the rest time in extra activities, the consequence of which is that they create countless bookworms instead of quick minds. While in America, students spend equal time in requires courses, optional courses and club activities, which is of great benefit to students’ all-around development. It’s high time that our country should give it a second thought to education reform. What our country need is a man who has his own character. To sum up, there’s no denying that each education system enjoys his own benefits, nevertheless, I’m more inclined to the America education system. 学科网(北京)股份有限公司学科网(北京)股份有限公司
