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. The United States you may not know The United States is the only superpower in the world, and it is far more advanced than any other country. However, we can’t simply owe (把……归因于) its ____21____ and prosperity to its lucky escape from the destruction of the two world wars. What other nations should reflect on is the American ____22____ and its social system. The most obvious features of the American spirit are ____23____ and pragmatism (务实思想). Nearly 70% of the important inventions have been made in the US since the first industrial revolution. Since the US occupies such an important position in science and technology, naturally it has become the first superpower in the world. Americans are always ____24____ with what they have achieved, and they have an appetite for adventure over the love of ____25____.

High salary is not the only ____28____ that the talents from other countries find in the United States. Some characteristics of American society should not be ____29____. Family backgrounds and great wisdom in building connections and playing up to the boss, which is of great importance in other countries, are not so important to _____30_____ development in the US.

The Americans are open-minded but they are very conservative on certain matters.

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) People used to find it safe to keep their treasure and money in some secret or unknown places. They tried various ways as they could think out. They buried treasure to stop other people from taking it. They chose a quiet place, dug a deep hole and buried the treasure in it. Then they made a map of where the treasure was or wrote down other clues that would help them or someone else to find it again. In Britain a few years ago, a writer wrote about some treasure that he had buried. He put clues in the story to help readers find it. Thousands of people hunted for the treasure. They dug holes all over Britain, hoping to find it. One of the most popular adventure stories ever written is Robert Louis Stephenson’s “Treasure Island”, an exciting story about a young boy, Jim Hawkins, who is captured by pirates (海盗) and later finds some buried treasure. Then there is the true story about a man who had to travel overseas for a year. He did not trust banks, so he buried his life savings in a park. Then he went away. On his return, he went straight to the park. But the park was no longer there. In its place there was a huge building. And then there was a woman who buried her savings, all in bank notes, in a waterproof bag. When she dug it up years later, there was nothing left. Worms and insects had eaten the bag and everything in it. And of course, these are stories about people who bury things and either forget where they have buried them or lose the map. Although it is true that people sometimes lose their money because a bank fails, banks are still the safest place to keep our savings and treasures. 36 _________ could help them or someone else to find it again. A. Making a map of the place and writing down some clues B. Digging another hole and writing some clues C. Colouring the place and making the map D. Asking someone else and numbering the place 37. A writer in Britain _________. A. really had buried some small coins B. started a nationwide treasure hunt C. had lost his treasure and wanted people to help him find it D. caused trouble because people dug holes everywhere 38. The man who buried his money in a park _________. A. thought his money was safer there than in a bank B. stayed away longer than he expected C. got his life savings back again D. travelled on the sea for a year 39. From these stories we understand that _________. A. we cannot trust banks B. we should not trust anyone C. burying may not be the safe way to keep something valuable D. insects can keep anything valuable (B) DONALD SLOAN Gates Hall University of Kansas Lawrence, KS 66045 913-243-1682 After May 2009: 46 Clayton Drive St．Louis, MO 63130 314-726-8840 Objective To work with the client (委托人) population in a social service position.

A. is good at singing and dancing B. is about to graduate from a university C. has an interest in being a surgeon D. specializes in psychology (C) The idea that richer countries are happier may seem obvious. However, in 1974, research by economist Richard Easterlin found otherwise, he discovered that while individuals with higher incomes were more likely to be happy, this did not hold at a national level. In the United States, for example, average income per person rose steadily between 1946 and 1970, but reported happiness levels showed no positive long-term trend; in fact, they declined between 196050 and 1970. These differences between nation-level and individual results s gave rise to the term “Easterlin paradox (矛盾)”: the idea that a higher rate of economic growth does not result in higher long-term happiness. Having access to additional income seems to only provide a temporary surge (激增) in happiness. Since a certain minimum income is needed for basic necessities, it’s possible that the happiness boost from extra cash isn’t that great once you rise above the poverty line. This would explain Easterlin’s findings in the United States and other developed countries. He argued that life satisfaction does rise with average incomes but only in the short term. Recent research has challenged the Easternlin paradox, however. In 2013, sociologists Ruut Veenhoven and Floris Vergunst conducted a study using statistics from the World Database of Happiness. Their analysis revealed a positive correlation between economic growth and happiness. Another study by the University of Michigan found that there is no maximum wealth threshold at which more money stops to contribute to your happiness: “If there is a satiation point, we are yet to reach it.” The study’s findings suggested that every extra dollar you earn makes you happier. With a much debate about the relationship between money and happiness, it’s clear that happiness itself is a complex concept and depends on many factors. According to psychologists Selin Kesebir and Shigehiro Oishi, happiness also depends on how your income compares to the people around you. They argue that a country’s economic growth only makes its citizens happier if wealth is evenly divided. In emerging countries with high income inequality — where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer — average happiness tends to drop because only relatively few people benefit from the economic prosperity (繁荣). This suggests that governments should consider implementing policies to ensure more equal distribution of wealth. The happier people are, the more productive they are likely to become, thus leading to improved economic outcomes at the individual and national levels. There is continuing debate about the link between wealth and happiness, with arguments both for and against the notion that richer countries are happier. However, it is clear that wealth alone isn’t enough to make us happy. The effect of income inequality on happiness shows that happiness is a social responsibility. We need to remember the positive effects of generosity, altruism (利他主义), and building social connections. Perhaps our focus should be less on how much money we have, and more on how we use it. 43. According to the passage, Easterlin Paradox refers to . A. the fact that the more money, the happier people will feel B. the suggestion that money should be given the top priority C. the question how economic outcomes are distributed nationwide D. the opinion that higher income doesn’t necessarily lead to happiness 44. The word “satiation” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “ ”. A. satisfaction B. questioned C. central D. sensitive 45. What is the major reason for people’s unhappiness related to money? A. Money not enough. B. Money not fairly divided. C. Rich people richer. D. Unequal money paid for equal work. 46. Which of the following might be best title of this passage? A It’s all relative B. Easternlin paradox C. The economics of happiness D. Rising income, rising happiness Section C Directions: Read the 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. Globalization has significantly influenced food consumption in most parts of world, but one country whose food has a long history of being globalized is Italy. If you walk down any main street in any major world city, you will find at least one Italian restaurant. Furthermore, Italy has seen changes in its own eating habits due to influence from other countries. Food has always been very important for Italian families. Italians take a lot of pride in the making and preparation of food. Until recently, pastas — a basic Italian food — would have been made by people in their local area. Families would also have made the sauces to eat with the pasta at home. ___47___ Nowadays, however, Italian eating habits appear to have changed. People no longer spend so much time preparing their meals. Indeed, frozen or takeaway Italian meals have become very popular in Italy. Furthermore, dried pasta is now mass-produced and sold relatively cheaply in the last five years, according to one manufacturer. ___48___ This trend is more common in urban areas such as Rome, Milan and Venice, although many smaller towns are also experiencing similar changes. These changes have both advantages and disadvantages. On the plus side, globalization has increased the range of food available in Italy. Italians now have much more choice in terms of what they eat. They also do not need to spend so long preparing and making food, unless of course they want to. In contrast, it can be argued that large restaurant chains are becoming increasingly powerful, resulting in the destruction of local and national specialties. ___49___ ___50___ Convenience foods have replaced many of the traditional home-cooked meals, and the availability of foreign fruits has greatly increased. While this extra choice is welcomed by some, others fear that the damage it may cause to Italian traditions. A. There is a difference between the food that people eat in the countryside and the food people eat in big cities. B. Consequently, many Italians worry that they are losing their sense of nationality, as foreign food becomes more common. C. In addition, people’s opportunity to experiment with foreign food was very limited, since only pizza and pasta were available in the local town square. D. Possibly the global popularity of Italian eating habits is the increasing popularity of foreign cuisine, especially Indian, Chinese and Japanese foods. E. Another important change in Italian eating habits is the increasing popularity of foreign cuisine, especially Indian, Chinese and Japanese foods. F. Globalization has had a significant influence on the way that Italians eat. IV.
