II,Grammar and vocabulary Section A Directions:After reading the passage below,fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct.For the blanks with a given word,fill in each blank with the proper form of 2 the given word;for the other blanks,use one word that best fits each blank. Onc aftemoon,when Bruno came home from school,he was surprised to find Maria,the family's maid was standing in his bedroom,pulling all his belongings out of the wardrobe and packing them in four large wooden crates,even the things he (21)(hide)at the back that belonged to him and were nobody else's business. 'What are you doing?'he asked in as polite a tone as he could muster,for(22)he wasn't happy to come home and find someone going through his possessions,his mother had always told him that he was to treat Maria respectfully.'You take your hands off my things.' Maria shook her head and pointed towards the staircase behind him,(23)Bruno's mother had just appeared.She(24)(twist)her hands together nervously as if there was something she didn't want to have to say or something she didn't want to have to believe. 'Mother,'said Bruno,marching towards her,'what's going on?Why is Maria going through my things?' 'She's packing them,'explained Mother.Packing them?'he asked,running quickly through the events of the previous few days to consider(25.ne'd been particularly naughty or had used those words out loud that he wasn't allowed to use and was being sent away because of it.He couldn't think of anything though.In fact over the last few days he had behaved in a perfectly decent manner to everyone and couldn't remember(26)(cause)any chaos at all.'Why?'he asked then.'What have I done?' Mother sighed and threw her hands in the air in frustration Bruno wasn't going to let the matter drop without an explanation.'Mother,'he insisted. 'What's going on?Are we moving?' 'Come downstairs with me,'said Mother,leading the way towards the large dining room. We'll talk down there.' Bruno ran downstairs and even passed her out on the staircase(27) he was waiting in the dining room when she arrived.He looked at her without saying anything for a moment and thought to himself that she(28)not have applied her make-up correctly that morning because the rims of her eyes were more red than usual,like his own after he'd been causing chaos and got into trouble and ended up crying. 'Now,you don't have to worry,Bruno,'said Mother,sitting down in the chair,'In fact if anything it's going to be a great adventure.' 'What is?'he asked.Am I being sent away?''No,not just you,'Mother said,looking (29) she might smile for a moment but thinking better of it.We all are.Your father and I,Gretel and you.All four of us.' Bruno thought about this and frowned.He wasn't particularly bothered if Gretel was being sent away because she was a Hopeless Case and caused nothing(30)trouble for him.But it seemed a little unfair that they all had to go with her.

All this changed during the first century A.D.In the year 9,far to the north of Regensburg, three entire Roman legions were annihilated by the Germanic tribe of the Cheruscans in the (36)battle of the Teutoburg Forest.This put an end to Roman ambitions east of the Rhine; they gave up the attempt to (37)their empire to the north-east,and concentrated on consolidating the lands already under Roman rule.It now became important to have strong, defensible borders,and the Rhine and the Danube rivers were the obvious lines of(38).The Rhine was already lined with substantial military fortifications which bore (39)to the campaigns the Romans had been fighting for decades against the Germanic tribes living across the river.Now they started to fortify the Danube,but on a much smaller scale.The lands to the north and northeast of the Danube were inhospitable and practicallv-uninhabited.There was not much (40)from that direction,and small observation posts were consiaerea sufficient. III.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. Philosophy is not just the preserve of(41)but eccentric thinkers that it is popularly supposed to be.It is what everyone does when they're not busy dealing with their everyday business and get a chance simply to wonder what life and the universe are all about.We human beings are naturally(42)creatures,and can't help wondering about the world around us and our place in it.We're also equipped with a powerful intellectual capability,which allows us to reason as well as just (43).Although we may not realize it,whenever we reason,we're thinking philosophically. Philosophy is not so much about(44)the answers to fundamental questions as it is about the process of trying to find these answers,using reasoning rather than accepting without question conventional views or traditional authority.The very first philosophers,in ancient Greece and China,were thinkers who were not satisfied with the(45)explanations provided by religion and custom,and (46)answers which had rational justifications.And,just as we might share our views with friends and colleagues,they discussed their ideas with one another, and even set up"schools"to teach not just the conclusions they had come to,but the way they had come to them.They encouraged their students to disagree and criticize ideas as a means of (47)them and brainstorm new and different ones.A popular(48)is that of the solitary philosopher arriving at his conclusions in (49),but this is actually seldom the case.New ideas emerge through discussion and the examination,analysis and criticism of other people's ideas. The archetypical philosopher in this respect was Socrates.He didn't leave any writings,or even any big ideas as the conclusions of his thinking.Indeed,he(50)himself on being the wisest of men because he knew he didn't know anything.His lcgacy lay in the tradition he established of debate and discussion,of questioning the assumptions of other people to gain deeper understanding and elicit fundamental truths.The writings of Socrates'pupil,Plato,are almost (51)in the form of dialogues,with Socrates as a major character.Many later philosophers also adopted the device of(52)to present their ideas,giving arguments and counter-arguments rather than a simple statement of their reasoning and conclusions. The philosopher who presents his ideas to the world is liable to be met with comments beginning with"Yes,but..."or"What if..."rather than wholchearted acceptance. In fact,philosophers have(53)disagreed with onc another about almost every aspect of philosophy.Plato and his pupil Aristotle,for example,held diametrically (54)views on fundamental philosophical questions,and their different approaches have divided opinions among philosophers ever since.This has,(55),provoked more discussion and prompted yet more fresh ideas. 41.A.mysterious B.practical C.weird D.brilliant 12.A.instinctive B.inquisitive C.skeptical· D.critical 43.A.wonder B.observe C.puzzle D.doubt 44.A.sticking to B.speaking highly of C.coming up with D.keep up with 45.A.magical B.ancient C.scientific D.established 46.A.sought B.strengthen C.imposed D.invented 47.A.illustrating B.simplifying C.rejecting D.refining 48.A.illusion B.misconception C.myth D.assumption 49.A.favour B.isolation C.confusion D.meditation 50.A.congratulated B.claimed C.prided D.regarded 51.A.invariably B.scarccly C.occasionally D.deliberately 52.A.speech B.reflection C.meditation D.dialogue 53.A.respectfully B.temperately C.fiereelv D.reluctantly 54.A.similar B.opposed C.controversial D.influential 55.A.without hesitation B.bcyond imagination C.in vain D.in tum 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) The student arrived early,sat front and center and stood out in my classroom in more ways than one.I'd say that he had about 40 years on his classmates in my undergraduate communications class at Califomia State University,Los Angeles.He eagerly jumped into class discussions,with his humor and wisdom of experience.And he was always respectful of the other students'perspectives,as if each of them were a teacher.Jerry Valencia walked in with a smile-and he left with one too. "These students gave me the confidence that I didn't need to feel bad about my age,"Valencia says. Onc day,I spottcd Valencia on campus.He said he would have to stop taking classes that scmester and reapply for next year.By then,he hoped to have earned enough money from construction jobs and have his student-loan papers in order.But he said he was still coming to campus to attend cvents or sce friends.He asked whether he could still sit in on my communications class. Sure,I said.But he wouldn't get any credit. No problem,he said, Soon there he was again-a 63-year-old Cal Statc LA junior with as much energy and curiosity as any of the youngsters in class. For an assignment on changing ncighborhoods,Valencia wrote about a favorite local chain rcstaurant that was "uncerenionlously closed".He called it a theft of childhood."It is almost as if somconc has stolen that childhood and replaced it with a slippery hill where everything they cherish will slidc away,"he wrotc. A lot of Valencia's classmates apparently knew he couldn't afford that semester's tuition but was still doing the homework. "Here he is,willingly taking a class for the joy of it and benefit of learning,"says Jessica Espinosa,a 25-year-old junior."You don't see that in our generation." Valencia showed up and took the final cxam too.Afterward,students were chatting,and I overhcard Valencia say he wanted to stay in school until he eamed a master's degrec,but it had taken him 12 years to finish community college,so he had a long way to go.

Developing an emotional relationship with a piece of software can,however,bring discomfort to 7 some people. As a study publishod in Psychological Science by Park Daeim,of Chungbuk National University in South Korea,and her collcagues,shows,onc emotion sometimes involved in machine-human interaction is embarrassment. Dr Park and her team recruited 187 participants into their study.To start with,each was presented with a series of statements like "you have a certain amount of intelligence,and you can't really do much to change it",and"you can always substantially change how intelligent you are".Participants rated their responses to these statcments on a six-point scale,on which one meant"strongly disagree"and six meant"strongly agree".The reason for this initial test was that Dr Park knew from previous work that,in academic settings,those who believe intelligence to be changeable are comfortable asking for assistance while those who believe it to be fixed often feel ashamed to do so. The initial test donc,the researchers presented their volunteers with a second test,which involved looking at 16 sets of three words and trying to think of a fourth word that linked them. For example,when offered“room,blood,salts'”a correct answer would be“bath”.Sometimes the first three words were accompanied by an unrequested hint (in the example given,this was"tub"). Sometimes they were not. Hints appeared as the written form of the word in question,accompanied by a computer-shaped icon.For half of participants this icon had a humanlike face,and the hint was placed inside a speech bubble originating from that face,thus anthropomorphising the presentation to some degree.For the other half the icon lacked a face and there was no speech bubble.After the final set of words had been displayed,participants were asked to agree or disagree with follow-up statements about their experience,such as"it was embarrassing to receive help during the task",and"others might think I am incompetent because I received help during the task".This time,they quantified their feelings on a seven-point scale,with higher scores representing greater feelings of unease. The researchers found that participants who believed intelligence to be unchangeable (the top sixth of the sample)felt more embarrassed and more incompetent after the tests.They averaged 3.2 when measured for feclings of shame and embarrassment if the computer icons they had seen giving the hints had had faces and speech bubbles,but only 2.7 if not.In contrast,people who strongly believed that intelligence could be changed over time(the bottom sixth of the sample)felt the same level of discomfort(around 2.5)whether or not the icons had been anthropomorphised. 63.The initial test is meant to classify the participants according to A.how intelligent they are in academic settings B.how familiar they are with previous research C.how much they agree with Dr Park's viewpoint D.how much they believe intelligence is unchangeable 64.In the second test,the participants were required to A.request a useful hint at a proper time B.link the four words given with a key word C.tell computer-shaped icons from face-shaped ones D.answer whether they feel comfortable to receive help 65.What can be inferred from the results of Dr Park and his team's study? A.Those who believe intelligence can change are more likely to turn down computers'help. B.Those regarding intelligence as fixed may feel less at case when turning to computers. C.Thosc regarding intelligence as fixcd are more likely to feel embarrassed in-realH-life. D.Those who believe intelligence can change are more capable than those who don't. 66.What conclusion can be drawn from the passage? A.How machine-human interaction will develop remains to be explored. B.People need to change their understanding of artificial intelligence. C.Sometimes computer programs seem too human for their own good. D.So far,the digital assistants have not taken human emotion into account. 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. A.There would be other lucky survivors. B. Buildings,from sheds to skyscrapers,would be smashed fat,tomn from their foundations, and sent tumbling across the landscape. C Friction with the ground would slow them down. D The human race wouldn't go extinct. E.No buildings would be safe;even structures strong cnough to survive the winds would be in trouble. F.The first sign of trouble would be that the outside world had suddenly gone silent. What would happen if the Earth and all terrestrial objects suddenly stopped spinning,but the atmosphere retained its velocity? At the equator,the Earth's surface is moving at about 470 meters per second-a little over a thousand miles per hour-relative to its axis.If the Earth stopped and the air didn't,the result would be a sudden thousand-mile-per-hour wind. The wind would be highest at the equator,but everyone and everything living between 42 degrecs north and 42 degrees south-which includes about 85 percent of the world's population-would suddenly experience supersonic winds.The highest winds would last for only a few minutes near the surface.(67. However,those few minutes would be long enough to reduce virtually all human structures to ruins. My home in Boston is far enough north to be just barely outside the super-sonic wind zone, but the winds there would still be twice as strong as those in the most powerful tornadoes. (68) Winds would be lower near the polcs,but no human cities are far enough from the equator to escape devastation.Longyearbyen,on the island of Svalbard in Norway-the highest-latitude city on the planet-would be devastated by winds equal to those in the planet's strongest tropical cyclones. If you're going to wait it out,one of the best places to do it might be Helsinki,Finland.While its high latitude-above 60N-wouldn't be enough to kecp it from being scoured clean by the winds, the bedrock below Helsinki contains a sophisticated network of tunnels,along with a subterranean shopping mall,hockey rink,swimming complex,and more. 9 (69)】 As comcdian Ron White said about hurricanes,"It's not that the wind is blowing.it's what the wind is blowing." Say you're in a massive bunker made out of some matcrial that can withstand thousand-mile-per-hour winds.That's good,and you'd be fine...if you were the only one with a bunker.Unfortunately,you probably have neighbors,and if the neighbor upwind of you has a less-well-anchorcd bunker,your bunker will have to withstand a thousand-mile-per-hour impact by their bunker. (70) I mcan,not right away.In gencral,very few people above the surface would survive;the flying debris would pulverize anything that wasn't nu-clear-hardened.However,a lot of people below the surface of the ground would survive just fine.If you were in a deep basement (or, better yet,a subway tunncl)when it happened,you would stand a good chance of surviving.
