Do you like to read crime thrillers or watch movies and TV series about solving criminal cases? It is not 第 4 页 共 14 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 ) difficult to create suspense by making whoever is engaged in reading ____11____ (lose) in the twists and turns of the plots, but it demands a certain originality to come through with a criminal device which is picturesque or amusing enough to make the reader feel the waiting has been worthwhile. Detectives in traditional crime novels such as Sherlock Holmes mainly rely on their brains. No detail, ____12____ tiny it is, escapes the eyes of Holmes, and the deductive (推理的) approach he uses ____13____ (prove) highly efficient. Modern crime fiction is about intellectual powers as well as science and technology. For example, the best- selling The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has a computer hacker ____14____ its heroine. DNA, computer hacking, surveillance and counter surveillance — today’s crime fiction writers face a minefield of science and technology that is essential to the story but often hard ____15____ (describe) accurately. It is important for writers to do research and get their science straight. A leading US scientific organization is now offering a seal of approval for books that get it right. The organization is the Washington Academy of Sciences. Writers can submit their work to the organization, ____16____ it undergoes a thorough peer review. President Jim Cole of the Washington Academy of Sciences once mentioned that many people encountered science through fiction and TV shows such as CSI, which often gave viewers the impression that technology ____17____ solve any crime. But science generally ____18____ (understand) by the public isn’t necessarily correct science. The more detailed an author gets into the technical issues, the riskier it all becomes. However, should the story itself demand the viewers ____19____ (get) accurate scientific knowledge? What are our expectations for a crime novel, after all? A science lecture? Or a good story with suspense and plot twists? Besides, _____20_____ a crime novel is too realistic or descriptive and provides accurate scientific detail, won’t it become a manual for the perfect murder? 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. Poetry is a kind of writing in which the sound and meaning of groups of words express ideas or emotion in addition to the experiences or strong feelings the writer ____21____. Unlike most other forms of writing, poetry is often written in lines, rather than paragraphs. Poetry also sounds different from other forms of writing, often using rhythm and rhyme to create an interesting sound when read aloud. Poetry catches the attention of a reader because it _____22_____ to both emotions and senses. Sound is ____23____the single most important aspect of any poem. The sound that any poem. The sound that 第 5 页 共 14 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 ) any given word makes, or the sounds that come from specific groups of words used together, are what make poetry so unique as a form of writing. A typical story or report does not focus on the sounds that each ____24____ word makes when read. But poems generally contain few words, so it is important that each word plays a role in making an impact on the reader. Rhythm is the flow of sounds created by successive words in a poem. When you read a poem you can often hear this ____25____ pattern,or “beat,” in the sounds. This is called meter. Some of the oldest and best-known poetry in the world came from Ancient Greece.

The Greeks eventually ____27____ Roman poets, such as Virgil, who wrote the Aeneid 30 BCE.

Religion and romance became the ____28____ of choice for many poets at that time. Poetry____29____ even more during the Renaissance period of history an era of many great cultural , achievements. This was the period during which Shakespeare, the most well-known poet, was making his mark! Needless to say, a trend had started. Poetry has continued to grow and change as a form of _____30_____ expression in modem times, 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. When you eat something really sour, there is something that can’t be ignored.

Your taste receptors ____35____ and your face twists involuntarily in what’s known as a rejection response, according to Live Science. Your tongue’s reactions to bitter or spicy foods are rejection ____36____ as well. Many plants found in nature with these ____37____ are poisonous, and your body’s strong reaction is its way of protecting you from harm. Sourness ____38____ naturally in fruits like citrus (柑橘), but it can be a warning of food-borne illness in many 第 6 页 共 14 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 ) cases. ____39____ fruits and dairy products contain acid, which gives them a sour taste too. It’s hard to ignore the sour flavor of what you’re eating when it twists your entire facial expression. This reaction isn’t necessarily enough to help someone who has already taken a bite of a bad apple, but it may protect the people they’re with. When our early human ancestors hunted for food, a sudden twisted face may have ______40______ that whatever that person put in their mouth wasn’t good to eat. The pucker response to ______41______ flavors helped early humans avoid getting sick, but it doesn’t stop us from eating this kind of food today. The flavor is so sought after that there’s an entire candy market ______42______ to maximizing it in processed products. So why do we love to eat the very thing that our face and tongue warns us might kill us? The answer is ______43______ taste. Humans don’t naturally desire bitter, spicy, or sour foods, but foods with these characteristics are important components of a nutritious diet.______44______ loving these flavors from birth, we’re conditioned to enjoy them through repeated exposure. By becoming familiar with the taste via our peers and family members, humans ______45______ learn which sour (and bitter and spicy) foods are healthy and which are potentially harmful.

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) About a quarter of the world drives on the left, and the countries that do are mostly old British colonies (殖民 地) like Australia , and Ireland. But Thailand, Indonesia and Japan also do so. This strange quirk (奇事) puzzles the rest of the world; however, there is a perfectly good reason . Up to the late 1700’s , everybody travelled on the left side of the road because it’s the most sensible option for feudal (封建 的), violent societies with mostly right-handed people. Soldiers with their swords under their right arm naturally passed on each other’s right, and if you passed a stranger on the road, you walked on the left to ensure that your protective sword arm was between yourself and him. Revolutionary France, however, overturned this practice as part of its sweeping social rethink. A change was carried out all over continental Europe by Napoleon. It changed under Napoleon because he was left-handed. His armies had to march on the right so he could keep his sword arm between him and any opponent. From then on, any part of colonized by the French travelled on the right. After the American Revolutionary War (1775—1783), the US became independent and decided to make traffic drive on the right in order to cast off all remaining links with its British colonial past. As America became the center of the car industry, if you wanted a good reliable vehicle, you bought American right-hand-drive cars. From then on, many countries changed out of necessity. Today, the EU would like Britain to fall into line with the rest of Europe, but this is no longer possible. It would cost billions of pounds to change everything round. The last European country to change driving on the right was Sweden in 1967. While everyone was getting used to the new system, they paid more attention and took more care, resulting in a reduction of the number of road accidents. 46. Why did people travel on the left before the late 18th century ? A. They were required to do so. B. They were mostly left-handed. C. It was easier to cross the street. D. They could feel safer from attacks. 47. What was Napoleon’s attitude to walking on the left? A. Support. B. Disapproval. C. Doubt. D. Sympathy. 第 8 页 共 14 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 ) 48. For Americans, driving on the right was a way to show ________. A. the connection with France was broken B. the US was no longer ruled by the UK C. the American Revolution War had ended D America was the center of the car industry . 49. What is the main cause of the UK failing to adopt the new system? A. Its high costs to change. B. Its increasing traffic accidents. C. Its influence on colonies. D. Its fast-developing car industry. (B) University Room Regulations Approved and Prohibited Items The following items are approved for use in residential rooms: electric blankets, hair dryers, personal computers, radios, televisions and DVD players.

The Office of Residence Life may change the door lock combination at any time at the expense of the resident if it is found that the student has shared the combination with others. The fee is $25 to change a room combination. Cooking Policy Students living in buildings that have kitchens are only permitted to cook in the kitchen. Students must clean up after cooking.

No pets are allowed to be kept in the residence. c. Students are required to close kitchen doors after cooking. d. Under no circumstances is a student allowed to cook in his room. A. 0 B. 1 C. 2 D. 3 (C) A few years ago, the City Council of Monza, Italy, barred pet owners from keeping goldfish in curved fishbowls. The sponsors of the measure explained that it is cruel to keep a fish in such a bowl because the curved sides give the fish a distorted view of reality. Aside from the measure’s significance to the poor goldfish, the story raises an interesting philosophical question: How do we know that the reality we perceive is true? Physicists are finding themselves in a similar trouble to the goldfish’s. For decades they have been pursuing an ultimate theory of everything—one complete and consistent set of fundamental laws of nature that explain every 第 10 页 共 14 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 ) aspect of reality. It now appears that this pursuit may generate not a single theory but a family of interconnected theories, each describing its own version of reality, as if it viewed the universe through its own fishbowl. This concept may be difficult for many people to accept. Most people believe that there is an objective reality out there and that our senses and our science directly convey (传达) information about the material world. In philosophy, that belief is called realism. In physics, realism is becoming difficult to defend. Instead, the idea of alternative realities is a mainstay of today’s popular culture. For example, in the science-fiction film The Matrix the human race is unknowingly living in a simulated (模拟的) virtual reality created by intelligent computers. How do we know we are not just computer- generated characters living in a Matrix-like world? If—like us—the beings in the simulated world could not observe their universe from the outside, they would have no reason to doubt their own pictures of reality. Similarly, the goldfish’s view is not the same as ours from outside their curved bowl. For instance, because light bends as it travels from air to water, a freely moving object that we would observe to move in a straight line would be observed by the goldfish to move along a curved path. The goldfish could form scientific laws from their frame (框架) of reference that would always hold true and that would enable them to make predictions about the future motion of objects outside the bowl. If the goldfish formed such a theory, we would have to admit the goldfish’s view as a reasonable picture of reality. The goldfish example shows that the same physical situation can be modeled in different ways, each employing different fundamental elements and concepts. It might be that to describe the universe we have to employ different theories in different situations. It is not the physicist’s traditional expectation for a theory of nature, nor does it correspond to our everyday idea of reality. But it might be the way of the universe. 53. What does the underlined word “distorted” in Paragraph most probably mean? A. Original. B. Accurate. C. Distant. D. False. 54. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us? A. The need for a complete theory. B. The lasting conflict in physics. C. The existence of the material world. D. The conventional insight of reality. 55. What can we learn from the passage? A. Nature’s mysteries are best left undiscovered. B. An external world is independent of the observers. C. People’s theories are influenced by their viewpoints. D. It is essential to figure out which picture of reality is better. 56.

High-quality customer service is preached (宣扬) by many, but actually keeping customers happy is easier said than done. Shoppers seldom complain to the manager or owner of a retail store ____57____. Store managers are often the last to hear complaints, and often find out only when their regular customers decide to frequent their competitors, according to a study jointly conducted by Verde group and Wharton school. “Storytelling hurts retailers and entertains consumers,” said Paula Courtney, President of the Verde group, “the store loses the customer, but the shopper must also find a replacement.” On average, every unhappy customer will complain to at least four other, and will no longer visit the specific store. For every dissatisfied customer, a store will lose up to three more due to negative reviews. ____58____.
