II. Grammar and Vocabulary
Section A
Once just a science fiction idea, VR has now become more accessible than ever. ___21____( wear ) a
pair of VR goggles connected to your computer and you can experience a lot of things without stepping
out of the room. From climbing ___22____(high) mountain in the world to flying a spacecraft, the things
you can experience with VR are limitless.
This new “reality” is starting to take over China. The Report on Chinese VR Users’ Behavior was
released on March 18 during the 12th TFC Global Mobile Game Conference & Intelligent Entertainment
Expo held in Beijing. The report is based on a survey of 5,626 people, ____23____(age) between 15 and
39, from across the country. It shows that up to 68.5 percent of people have heard of or are interested in
VR products.
But surprisingly, it isn’t new technology that has made VR so popular. “VR has been _____24____
for many years, but it will stick this time because there’s enough computer power and the price will just
keep going down,” Todd Richmond, a VR group member with the Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineers in the US, told USA Today.
VR ____25_____(expect) to change various different fields. For example, VR could be used to train
pilots and miners before they had to actually risk their lives in highly dangerous working environments,
or to treat patients with acrophobia (恐高症) by making them think they were standing on top of a high
building.
“If you have perfect virtual reality, ____26____you’ll be able to simulate everything that a human can
experience or imagine experiencing, it’s hard to imagine where you go from there,” Palmer Luckey, 23,
inventor of the Oculus VR goggles, told NPR.

But the technology is still far from perfect. Users report experiencing motion sickness, headaches and
other discomfort while wearing VR goggles. Also, ___27____ more and more tools are flooding the
market, the software that runs VR games and simulators has yet to catch up with all the new
advancements. It could take ___28___ while for VR to be widely accepted.
When every new technology is first introduced, the technology_____29_____ is the driving force. But
for it to really blend (融入) into people’s lives, meeting basic and practical needs should be the main
aim.
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. additional B. academic C. balance D. options E. highlight F. particular
G. involved H. orient I. thought J. presentation K. available
Job seekers should know the rules of labor market before they try to find a proper job. Most career
organizations 30 three stages for graduates to follow the process of securing a suitable career: recognizing
abilities, matching these to available jobs and presenting them well to possible employers.
Job seekers have to make a careful assessment of their abilities. One area of assessment should be of
their _31__ qualifications, which include special skills within their subject area. Graduates should also
consider their own values and attitudes. An honest assessment of personal interests and abilities such as
creative skills, or skills acquired from work experience, should also be given careful _32__ .
The second stage is to study the opportunities which are _33__ for employment. To do this, graduates
can study job and position information in newspapers, or they can pay a visit to a careers office, write to
friends or relatives who may already be _34 __ in a particular profession. After studying all the various
_35 _ , they should be in a position to make informed comparisons between various careers.
Good personal _36__ is essential in the search for a good career. Job application forms should be filled
in carefully and correctly, without grammar of spelling errors. They should also prepare properly by finding
out all they can about the possible employer. When _37__ information is asked for, job seekers should
describe their abilities and work experience in more depth, as well as __38__ their own abilities with the
employer’s needs, explain why they are interested in a career with the _39__ company and try to show that
they already know something about the company and its activities. Interviewees should try to give positive
answers and not be afraid of asking questions about anything they are unsure about.
III. Reading Comprehension
Section A (15)
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.
President Obama’s second Inaugural Address used soaring language to stress America’s
commitment to the dream of equality of opportunity: “We are true to our belief that a little girl born into
__40__ knows that she has the same chance to succeed as anybody else, because she is an American.”
The gap between ideal and reality could hardly be __41__. Today, the United States has less
equality of opportunity than almost any other advanced industrial country. Study after study has __42__
the myth that America is a land of opportunity. A way of looking at equality of opportunity is to ask to
what extent the life chances of a child are __43__ the education and income of his parents. Is it just as
likely that a child of poor or poorly educated parents gets a good education and rises to the middle class
第 3 页 共 13 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 )
as someone born to middle-class parents with college degrees? Even in a more democratic society, the
answer would be no.
How do we explain this? Some of it has to do with persistent discrimination. Latinos and African-
Americans still get paid less than whites, and women still get paid less than men, __44__ they recently
surpassed men in the number of advanced degrees they obtain. Discrimination, however, is only a small
part of the __45__. Probably the most important reason for __46__ of equality of opportunity is
education. After World War II, we made a major effort to __47__ higher education to Americans across
the country. But then we changed, in several ways. While racial segregation decreased, economic
segregation increased. After 1980, the poor grew poorer, the middle stagnated(停滞不前), and the top
did better and better. A result was a widening gap in educational performance – the __48__ gap between
rich and poor kids born in 2001 was 30 to 40 percent larger than it was for those born 25 years earlier, a
Stanford sociologist found. Of course, there are other forces ___49___. Children in rich families get
more exposure to reading. Their families can afford enriching experiences like music lessons and
summer camp. They get better nutrition and health care, which enhance their learning, directly and
indirectly.
Now Americans are coming to realize that without substantial policy changes, their long cherished
belief is only a myth. It is unreasonable that a rich country like the United States has made __50__ to
higher education so difficult for those at the bottom and middle. There are many __51__ ways of
providing chances for more to receive higher education, from Australia’s income-contingent loan
program to the near-free system of universities in Europe. A more educated population yields greater
innovation, and a robust economy. Those benefits are why we’ve long been __52__ to free public
education through 12th grade. But while a 12th-grade education might have been enough a century ago, it
isn’t today. Yet we haven’t __53__ our system to contemporary realities.
The steps I’ve outlined are not just affordable but necessary. Even more important, though， is that
we cannot afford to let our country drift farther from __54__ that the vast majority of Americans share.
We will never fully succeed in achieving Mr. Obama’s vision of a poor girl’s having exactly the same
opportunities as a wealthy girl. But we could do much, much better, and must not rest until we do.

Section B (22)
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
Women have been driving yellow cabs in New York since the 1940s, but 99% of drivers are male.
Even among drivers of cars booked by phone or online, only 4% are women. That may change with the
launch of SheTaxis, an app that lets female passengers insist on female drivers, and vice versa.
It will be available in New York City, Westchester and Long Island, and the firm plans to expand to
other cities. Stella Mateo, the founder, is betting that quite a few women are nervous and weary of
getting into cars driven by men. The service may also appeal to those whose religious beliefs forbid them
to travel with unrelated men. Each driver wears a pink pashmina. Men who ask for a ride will be directed
to another car service.
Similar services thrive in India, South Africa and several Middle Eastern cities. Japan has had
women-only railway carriages on and off since 1912. Known as hana densha (flower trains), they offer
shelter from the gropers who make rush hour in Tokyo so disagreeable.

jiajiao6767 )
But SheTaxis faces two speed bumps. One is practical. Demand has been so great that the firm has
had to decelerate its launch until it can recruit 500 drivers. The other obstacle is legal. By employing
only female drivers, SheTaxis is obviously discriminating against men. Since anti-discrimination law is
not always applied with common sense, that may be illegal. And there is no shortage of potential
litigants(诉讼当事人). Yellow cabbies are furious at the growth of online taxi firms such as Uber. “It’s
not hard to imagine a guy filing suit,” says Sylvia Law of New York University Law School. “SheTaxis’
defence would probably be that its drivers are all independent contractors.”
Because the firm caters only to women, it is discriminating against male customers, too. Is that legal?
Angela Cornell of Cornell Law School thinks there could be a loophole. New York’s Human Rights
Commission could make an exemption on the ground that SheTaxi offers a service that is in the public
interest: women feel safer not getting into cars with strange men. Women-only colleges are allowed, so
why not women-only cabs? The snag is that some men may also feel safer getting into cabs with female
drivers. A study in 2010 found that 80% of crashes in New York City that kill or seriously injure
pedestrians involve male drivers. Women drivers are simply better.
55. It can be inferred that the service of SheTaxis may appeal to_______.
A. women who are nervous about taxi drivers
B. women with certain religious beliefs
C. women who are tired of taking taxis
D. men who ask for a ride
56. The word “gropers” (Para. 3) probably refers to_______.
A. people who cause a traffic jam
B. men who make sexual harassment to women
C. men who cause the rush hour in Tokyo
D. people who make taking trains disagreeable
57. If SheTaxis is accused of discriminating against men, it may_______.
A. decelerate its launch as an online taxi firm
B. employ both male and female drivers
C. make anti-discrimination law not applicable
D. spring to the defence of its drivers
58. SheTaxis may be exempt (被豁免的) from illegality by New York ’s Human Rights Commission
because_______.
A. its service provided is based on the public interest
B. it discriminates against male passengers
C. it provides service also for male passengers
D. it decreases crashes caused by male drivers
B
It was 3: 45 in the morning when the vote was finally taken. After six months of arguing and final 16
hours of hot parliamentary（议会的,国会的）debates, Australia's Northern Territory became the first legal
authority in the world to allow doctors to take the lives of incurably ill patients who wish to die. The measure
passed by the convincing vote of 15 to 10. Almost immediately word flashed on the Internet and was picked
up, half a world away, by John Hofsess, executive director of the Right to Die Society of Canada. He sent it on
via the group's on-line service, Death NET. Says Hofsess: We posted bulletins（ 公告, 新闻快报）all day
long, because of course this isn't just something that happened in Australia. It's world history.
The full importmay take a while to sink in. The NT Rights of the Terminally Ill law has left physicians
and citizens alike trying to deal with its moraland practical implications. Some have breathed sighs of relief,
others, including churches, right-to-life groups and the Australian Medical Association, bitterly attacked the
billand the haste of its passage. But the tide is unlikely to turn back. In Australia-where an aging population,
life-extending technology and changing community attitudes have all played their part-other states are going to
consider making a similar law to deal with euthanasia. In the US and Canada, where the right-to-die movement
is gathering strength, observers are waiting for the dominoes to start falling.
Under the new Northern Territory law, an adult patient can request death-probably by a deadly injection or
pill-to put an end to suffering. The patient must be diagnosed as terminally ill by two doctors. After a cooling
off period of seven days, the patient can sign a certificate of request. After 48 hours the wish for death can be
met. For Lloyd Nickson, a 54-year-old Darwin resident suffering from lung cancer, the NT Rights of
Terminally Ill law means he can get on with living without the haunting fear of his suffering: a terrifying death
from his breathing condition. I'm not afraid of dying from a spiritual point of view, but what I was afraid of
was how I'd go, because I've watched people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen and clawing at their

masks, he says.
59. From the second paragraph we learn that ________.
（A）the objection to euthanasia is slow to come in other countries
（B）physicians and citizens share the same view on euthanasia
（C）changing technology is chiefly responsible for the hasty passage of the law
（D）it takes time to realize the significance of the law's passage
60. When the author says that observers are waiting for the dominoes to start falling,
he means ________.
（A）observers are taking a wait-and-see attitude towards the future of euthanasia
（B）similar bills are likely to be passed in the US, Canada and other countries
（C）observers are waiting to see the result of the game of dominoes
（D）the effect-taking process of the passed bill may finally come to a stop
61. When Lloyd Nickson dies, he will ________.
（A）face his death with calm characteristic of euthanasia
（B）experience the suffering of a lung cancer patient
（C）have an intense fear of terrible suffering
（D）undergo a cooling off period of seven days
62. The author's attitude towards euthanasia seems to be that of ________.
（A）opposition （B）suspicion （C）approval（D）indifference
C
Over the weekend, NASA’s newest Mars rover, the Curiosity, which landed early on Aug. 6
after an eight-month flight, started sending back a 360-degree high-resolution(高分辨)panorama （全
景画；全景摄影）of its surroundings.
At a news conference on Wednesday, John P. Grotzinger, a professor of geology at the California
Institute of Technology who serves as the mission’s project scientist, compared the view with a
place just a few hours’ drive from Pasadena, Calif, and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the
rover’s birthplace. “You would really be forgiven for thinking that NASA was trying to pull a fast
one on you,” he said, “and we actually put a rover out in the Mojave Desert and took a picture—
a little L.A.(Los Angeles) smog coming in there.” He added, “To a certain extent, the first
impression you get is how Earth-like it seems.”
Where the Curiosity actually sits is a 96-mile-wide crater named Gale near the Martian equator.
To the north, the images show part of the crater rim that is believed to have been eroded by flowing
water. To the south is a 3.4-mile-high peak that the scientists call Mount Sharp, which Curiosity is
meant to reach and to climb. By investigating the layers of sedimentaryrock on Mount Sharp, mis-
sion scientists hope to reconstruct the climate and environment of early Mars and tell whether it
could have been once been habitablefor life.
The photos also show marks that Curiosity has made at the landing site. As Curiosity was
lowered to the surface of Mars, blasts from the descent-stage engines created indentations in the
nearby soil, exposing the bedrock below. This exposed bedrock is likely to be one of the first areas
of scientific exploration on the rover’s planned two-year journey.
After the flawless landing, the first week of operations of the rover on the ground also
proceeded almost perfectly, too, as engineers started checking out the rover’s system, deployed the
high-gain antenna（天线）, and raised the mast（天线杆）that holds the cameras.
So far, no significant trouble has arisen. The weather instrument experienced a problem that
engineers figured out a day later. The rover’s internal temperatures are slightly warmer than
expected, possibly because the crater is warmer than predicted or because NASA’s computer models
of Curiosity were not quite right. Worries about overheating could put constraints on when certain
instruments can be used. But the heat is also a boon, reducing the energy Curiosity needs to warm
up its joints and wheels before moving.
63. Where is the rover Curiosity’s real location?
A. In the middle Mojave Desert near its birthplace in the US.
B. To the south of crater Gale that is near the Martian equator.
C. Near the Martian equator which is eroded by flowing water.
D. On top of a 3.4-mile-high peak which used to be habitable.

64. It can be inferred from the passage that the rover’s investigation________ .
A. is likely to start with the study of the rocks on Mars
B. is determined on the reconstruction of the climate on Mars
C. started immediately after the rover’s perfect landing
D. can only begin after a week’s preparation on the ground
65. What caused the rover’s unexpected warmer internal temperature?

A.You are only allowed to purchase a firearm if you have had a background check and
meet certain legal requirements.
B.There have been many enlightening articles on gun control in America.
C.If you were to visit the United States for two months the only gun you might see is in a
museum or on a police officer.
D.Less than fifty percent of homes in the United States own weapons, and many of those
homes are in rural areas where guns may have a greater use.
E.More people are deciding to legalize their gun transactions instead of buying them on
the black market.
F.What alarms people the most about American gun culture are the illegal guns
and shooting
Guns have a special place in American culture, and though not everyone agrees on
whether or not they are a good thing, there is no mistaking that they will be part of the
cultural landscape for some time. To answer the question, no, not everyone has a gun.
67
Americans use guns for one of two uses: either for sport, where they can use them
on firing ranges or for hunting in approved areas, or for self-protection. The latter is
where most people begin to take sides, either arguing for the removal of guns from
society or allowing more people to have them. There are organizations and community
groups for both sides and both sides have strong feelings.

Legally, there are restrictions on gun owners. 68 Only certain kinds of weapons can
be purchased by the public, and that excludes automatic weapon and military grade
weaponry. Gun owners must transport their weapon in a safe way, unloaded and in most
cases, out of sight. Special
第 8 页 共 13 页―concealed carry permits from the police station must be obtained for people who want to wear
weapon, and most people are rejected for this kind of permit. 69 Criminals steal guns or buy
them illegally to commit crimes, and the news is full of terrible stories of what happened next.
Occasionally a child will get a hold of legal weapon and accidentally hurt themselves or others.
It is important to remember, however, that the news stories that make the United States seem like
a dangerous place are deceiving; guns are not everywhere or constant. 7 0 After all, America is
a safe place to live.
Summary Writing
With the average number of children in a British family falling under an average of 2.0,
compared with the traditional 2.4 children, the population of the UK has been falling for quite a
few years.
Why aren’t British people having as many children as they used to? Well, there are many
reasons.
One of them is that British people are now having their children at a much older age than
previously, meaning they have fewer years in which they can have children. Most young people
today want a well-paid job, so they often go to university after high school after years of study
at university, they then need a few years of work experience before they can get the job they
want. So it’s not until they are about 30 years old that they can start to think about settling
down and having children.
Another reason is that it is relatively expensive to bring up a child in the UK. Usually both
parents need to work to pay for their home and living expenses. They need to pay someone to
look after their child during the day, which is expensive.
In addition, problems in the global economy often affect British families. For example, when times
are tough and there is an economic downturn, it becomes difficult to find a job or keep the
existing one. This kind of uncertainty discourages people from having larger families.
So what is Britain doing to try and save British families? First of all, the government is trying to
make it cheaper to have children. For example, there have been increases in money families can
gain from the state each month. Also, there is an increasing amount of money for nursery schools,
so that parents don’t need to pay so much for childcare. In addition, there are now laws
allowing parents to take more time off work so that they can look after their children themselves
rather than having to pay others to do it.
