proper word. Make sure that your answers are grammatically correct.
Meet the Islands
Located 86 km north-east of Bougainville in the South Pacific, the Carteret Islands of Papua New
Guinea are composed of low-lying islands 31 (distribute) in a horseshoe shape, with a total land area of 0. 6
square kilometers and a maximum elevation of 1. 5 meters above sea level.
The Carteret Islands are believed 32 (inhabit) for more than one thousand years. Few places are as calm,
peaceful and beautiful as the seaside here on a calm day. People are very 33 (welcome), gentle, and calm.
There’s no phone network, shops, computers, roads, cars, or motorbikes. Food is cooked on open fires. People
here live sustainably. They don’t overfish or pollute, making no contribution to the warming of our planet.
However, they are feeling the consequences of the climate change.
Now, as the land 34 (swallow) by the rising sea, the islanders are faced with an uncertain future. Storms
and high tides wash away homes, destroy vegetable gardens and pollute fresh water supplies. The trees on
the island are also being impacted by the saltwater. The beach exists 35 fertile soil once did. 36 the coral
and seagrasses die, so do the breeding areas for fish. Many seawalls have
been built 37 with little success. The islands have gradually become uninhabitable.
The Carteret islanders are labelled as the world’s first official climate-change refugees, as they are
forced to abandon their homelands 38 38 food shortages, rising sea levels, sinking
shorelines, and the dangers of storms and tides. In front of 39 is the choice whether to stay and watch the
islands shrink and slowly disappear or try to rebuild their community somewhere else. Yet, the relocation is
not a move embraced by most, and some are unhappy living away from their home, and have returned after
struggling to adapt. On the other hand, relocation will be a great challenge to the preservation of the identity
and culture of the Carteret islanders.
The Carteret Islanders’ story illustrates how small island states and coastal communities fall victim
40 rising sea levels caused by climate change. The Carteret Islanders, with a carbon footprint among the
lowest in the world, will be among the first to have to leave their homes because of rising seas caused by
emissions from other nations.

Baby’s Rainbow
In English the sky is blue, and the grass is green. But in Vietnamese there is just one color category for
both sky and grass: xanh. For decades, scientists have pointed to such examples as 41 that
language largely determines how we see color. But new research with four-to six-month-old infants
indicates that long before we learn language, we see up to five basic categories of color — a finding that
suggests a stronger 42 link to color perception (洞察力)than previously thought.
The study tested the color-discrimination (区另U)abilities of more than 170 British infants.
Researchers at the University of Sussex in England measured how long babies spent 43. at color
swatches, a metric known as looking time. First the team showed infants one swatch repeatedly until their
looking time decreased ——a(n) 44 that they had grown bored with it. Then the researchers showed
them a different swatch and noted their reaction. Longer looking times were 45. to mean the babies
considered the second swatch to be a new color. Their responses showed that they 46 among five
colors: red, green, blue, purple and yellow.
The finding “suggests we,re all working from the same template (模板)，" explains lead author Alice
Skelton, a doctoral student at Sussex. “You come 47 to make color distinctions, but given your

culture and language, certain distinctions may or may not be used. ” For instance, infants learning
Vietnamese most likely see green and blue, even if their native language does not use 48. words for
the two colors.
The study systematically explored infants, color perception, 49 how we perceive colors before
we have the words to describe them, says Angela M. Brown, an experimental psychologist at the Ohio State
University’s College of Optometry, who was not involved with the new research. The results add a new
50 to the so-called Sapir-Whorf hypothesis — the idea that the way we see the world is shaped by language.
III. Reading Comprehension (45%) 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.
Most forms of conventional advertising — print, radio and broadcast television — have been losing
ground to online ads for years; only billboards, dating back to the 1800s, and TV ads are holding their own.
Such out-of-home advertising, as it is known, is expected to 51 by 3. 4% in 2022, and digital out-of home
(DOOH) advertising, which includes the LCD screens found in airports and shopping malls, by 16%. Such
ads draw viewers, attention from phones and cannot be skipped or 52 , unlike ads online.
Billboard owners are also 53 the location data that are pouring off people’s smartphones. Information
about their owners’ locations and online browsing gets collected and sold to media owners. They then use
these data to work out when different groups — “business travellers”, say — walk by their ads. That 54 is
added to insights into traffic, weather and other external data to produce highly relevant ads. DOOH 55 can
deliver ads for coffee when it is cold and iced drinks when it is warm.
Such 56 works particularly well when it is accompanied by “programmatic” advertising methods, a term
that describes the use of data to automate and improve ads. In the past year billboard owners such as Clear
Channel and jcDecaux have 57 programmatic platforms which allow brands and media buyers to select,
purchase and place ads in minutes, rather than days or weeks. It is said that outdoor ads will increasingly be
bought like online ones, based on audience and views as well as 58 .
That is possible because billboard owners claim to be able to 59 how well their ads are working, even
though no “click-through” rates are involved. Data firms can tell advertisers how many people walk past
individual advertisements at particular times of the day. Advertisers can estimate how many individuals 60
to an ad for a handbag then go on to visit a nearby shop (or website) and buy the product. Such metrics make
outdoor ads more 61 -driven, automated and measurable, argues Michael Provenzano, co-founder of Vistar
Media, an ad-tech firm in New York.
However, the outdoor-ad revolution is not 62 -free. The collection of mobile-phone data raises privacy
concerns. And 63 of the online-ad business for being vague, and occasionally dishonest, may also be
targeted at the OOH business as it becomes bigger and more complex. The industry is ready to 64 such
concerns, says Jean-Christophe Conti, chief executive of VIOOH, a media-buying platform. One of the 65
of following the online-ad pioneers, he notes, is learning from their mistakes.
51. A. shrink B. grow C. disappear D. emerge
52. A. obtained B. blocked C. separated D. arranged
53. A. making progress in B. getting engaged in

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
Noah reached for his guitar, remembering his father as he did so, thinking how much he missed him. He
strummed once, adjusted the tension on two strings, then strummed again. This time it sounded about right,
and he began to play.
Soft music, quiet music. He hummed for a little while at first, then began to sing as night came down
around him. He played and sang until the sun was gone and the sky black. It was a little after seven when he
quit, and he settled back into his chair and began to rock. By habit, he looked upward and saw Orion and the
Big Dipper, Gemini and the Pole Star, twinkling in the autumn sky. He started to run the numbers in his
head, then stopped. He knew he’d spent almost his entire savings on the house and would have to find a job
again soon, but he pushed the thought away and decided to enjoy the remaining months of restoration without
worrying about it. Besides, thinking about money usually bored him. Early on, he’d learned to enjoy simple
things, things that couldn't be bought, and he had a hard time understanding people who felt otherwise. It
was another trait he got from his father.
Clem, his hound dog, came up to him then and nuzzled his hand before lying down at his feet. “Hey,
girl, how’re you doing?” he asked as he patted her head, and she whined softly, her soft round eyes peering
upward. A car accident had taken her leg, but she still moved well enough and kept him company on quiet
nights like these. He was thirty-one now, not too old, but old enough to be lonely. He hadn’t dated since
he’d been back here, hadn’t met anyone who remotely interested him. It was his own fault, he knew. There
was something that kept a distance between him and any woman who started to get close, something he
wasn’t sure he could change even if he tried. And sometimes in the moments right before sleep came, he
wondered if he was destined to be alone forever.
The evening passed, staying warm, nice. Noah listened to the crickets and the rustling leaves, thinking
that the sound of nature was more real and aroused more emotion than things like cars and planes. Natural
things gave back more than they took, and their sounds always brought him back to the way man was
supposed to be. “It’ll keep you from going crazy,” his father had told him the day he’d shipped out. “It’s
God’s music and it’ll take you home. ” He finished his tea, went inside, found a book, then turned on the
porch light on his way back out. After sitting down again, he looked at the book. It was old, the cover was
torn, and the pages were stained with mud and water.
It was Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman, and he had carried it with him throughout the war. It had
even taken a bullet for him once. He rubbed the cover, dusting it off just a little. Then he let the book open
randomly and read the words in front of him: This is thy hour O Soul, thy free flight into the wordless. Away
from books, away from art, the day erased, the lesson done. Thee fully forth emerging, silent, gazing,
pondering the themes thou lovest best. Night, sleep, death and the stars. For some reason Whitman always
reminded him of New Bern, and he was glad he’d come back. Though he’d been away from fourteen years,
this was home and he knew a lot of people here, most of them from his youth. Like so many southern towns,
the people who lived here never changed, they just grew a bit older.
66. The underlined sentence in paragraph two is the equivalent of “ ________”.
A. he hated those who were unable to appreciate simple things in life
第7页/共11页B. he didn’t see eye to eye with people who liked to save money
C. he had difficulty in figuring out how he got this trait from his father
D. he didn’t understand why people were so materialistic

A. Noah often played the guitar and observed the stars.
B. Clem the dog showed great affection for her master.
C. Noah was destined to be alone since no woman seemed interested in him.
D. Noah planned to restore his house before landing himself a job.
68. Which of the following statements would Noah’s father most agree with?
A. Patients suffering from mental disorder can be cured by nature.
B. The closer you are to nature, the closer you are to your true self.
C. Where there is God’s music, there is home.
D. A good book is a man’s best company.
69. Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman ________.
A. had been a treasure but was now too damaged to read
B. recorded the lives of New Bern’s people who never changed over the years C. was beyond Noah’s
understanding so he randomly picked up some words to read D. stirred a feeling of nostalgia in Noah

In the film Inside Out, 11-year-old Riley’s emotions are personified as brightly colored internal figures
that drive her behaviors. The same five emotions—anger, fear, disgust （憎恶）, sadness, and joy—appear
in every other character’s head as well, functioning in much the same way in each individual. In Western
cultures, this is the case, argues psychologist Batja Mesquita in Between Us. Emotions in such contexts, she
writes, are considered “MINE,” or “Mental, INside the person, and Essentialist,” the latter defined in the
book as always having the same properties.
This conception of emotion is not universal, however. Emotions elsewhere, she argues, are thought of as
“OURS”—“OUtside the person, Relational, and Situated. ” Using this distinction, Mesquita sets about
contrasting emotions in “the West,” where the individual is the top concern, with “the Rest,” where
community is prioritized.
Mesquita describes amae as a central emotion in Japanese culture, where it builds interdependence by
encouraging tolerance in parenting process. She describes hasham—which includes shame, embarrassment,
and social respectability—as a fundamental emotion for Egyptian Bedouins （游牧人）. Such observations
provide a background for her to explore a range of issues, including childhood socialization, the nature of
friendship, the role of language in shaping emotions, and cross-cultural communication in a globalized world.
Despite Mesquita’s emphasis on cross-cultural emotions, there is little discussion of whether the MINE-
OURS dichotomy （二分法） accurately explains global cultural variation. Other scholars have noted, for
example, that hunter-gatherer societies at the same time emphasize both individual self-government and
social cooperation. And in an apparent contradiction to her earlier arguments, Mesquita herself ultimately
concludes that Westerners have OURS emotions.
Taken as a whole, however, the book contributes much to the discussion of the origins of emotions,
presenting a remarkable collection of cross-cultural studies intermixed with personal stories about foreign
residents’ struggles to reunite diverse emotional and social worlds. In chapter 8, for example, Mesquita
describes an incident where she—a Dutch native living in the United States—bumped into the famous
American psychologist Hazel Markus at a conference Markus helped organize. Wishing to express
understanding of Markus’s workload, Mesquita declared “You look a little tired. ” The remark appeared to
make Markus nervous and confused but was intended as an expression of sympathy—to sympathize in Dutch
is to acknowledge suffering, not offer comfort as in the US.
The book’s take-home message is fundamental: There are no natural emotions, no inborn emotions, no
universal emotions. Mesquita argues that emotions are “meaning making” and “a preparation for action” and
that the idea of “emotions as inner states” is a Western construct. Instead, she suggests that emotions are a
“dance” cocreated between people who live in a specific cultural context at a particular historical moment.
73. In Between Us, Mesquita indicates that ______.
A. the Japanese build kids’ emotion of shame in parenting
第9页/共11页B. MINE-OURS dichotomy is the very cause of cross-cultural emotions C. emotions outside “the West”
are considered community-centred D. hunter-gatherers have both emotions of “OURS” and “MINE” 74.
We can infer from the incident in paragraph 5 that _________.
A. the emotion of sympathy is to offer help in Dutch culture
B. foreign residents from different cultures usually unite as one C. as Dutch Mesquita shows her
personality of warmth and caring D. cross-cultural emotional exchanges probably cause misunderstanding
75. What is Mesquita’s main argument about emotions in her book? A. Family education hardly influences
one’s emotions.
B. Sociocultural contexts largely contribute to emotions.
C. Western people’s emotions have no properties of OURS.
D. Internal factors play a vital role in shaping how we feel.
76. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. The cultural landscape of emotions B. The cultural origin of emotions
C. The cultural convention of emotions D. The cultural shock of emotions
Section C
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once.
Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A. The early success of the kiosks suggests that, at least when ordering fast food, customers prize speed
over high-touch customer service.
B. Business owners insist that robots will take over work that is dirty, dangerous, or just dull, enabling
humans to focus on other tasks.
C. The better hope for workers might be that automation helps the food-service industry continue to
develop.
D. But over time, customers relied less frequently on the greeters.
E. The cost of machines has fallen significantly in recent years, dropping 40 percent since 2005.
F. This has typically been the story of automation: Technology eliminates old jobs, but it also creates new
ones.
Iron Cooks
Robots have arrived in American restaurants and hotels for the same reasons they first arrived on factory
floors. 77 Labor, meanwhile, is getting expensive, as some cities and states pass laws raising the
minimum wage.
“We think we’ve hit the point where labor-wage rates are now making automation of those tasks make a
lot more sense,” Bob Wright, the chief operations officer of the fast-food chain Wendy’s, said in a conference
call with investors last February, referring to jobs that feature “repetitive production tasks. ” Wendy’s and
McDonald’s are in the process of installing self-service kiosks in locations across the country, allowing
customers to order without ever talking to an employee.
78 The international chain CaliBurger, for example, will soon install Flippy, a robot that can make
150 burgers an hour. John Miller, the CEO of Cali Group, which owns the chain, says employees don’t like
working in the kitchen. Once the robots are sweating there, human employees will be free to interact with
customers in more-targeted ways, bringing them extra napkins and asking them how they’re enjoying their
burgers.
How many employees, though, do you need working in the cafe? 79 Will companies like CaliBurger see
sufficient value in employing human greeters and soup-and-sandwich deliverers to keep those positions

The experience of Eatsa may be instructive. The start-up restaurant, based in San Francisco, allows
customers to order its quinoa bowls and salads on their smartphone or an in-store tablet and then pick up their
order from a white wall of cubbies — an Automat for the app age. Initially, two greeters were stationed
alongside the cubbies to welcome and direct customers. 80 So the company now employs a single
greeter in its restaurants.
