CRUK’s campaign uses cigarette-style posters linking obesity to cancer, but may have negative consequences. Smoking and obesity are incomparable, so they should be handled differently in that weight loss is complex and varies from person to person. The campaign associates obesity with irresponsibility and encourages weight discrimination. CRUK should, instead, focus on educating about societal factors and promoting positive action. IV.

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 the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. What Can One City Do? People around the world are concerned about global warming and are talking about ways to stop it. The city of Cambridge, Massachusetts, in the United States, is doing more than just talking. Cambridge wants to become a world leader in energy-efficient buildings. Today, Naema Omar is improving her 80-year-old house in Cambridge. To keep the heat inside in the winter, she is filling the space inside the walls with insulation (绝缘). Insulation is usually made from chemicals, but in her house, she is using 1          new-insulation made from recycled blue jeans and other clothes. She has also put in a new type of light called an LED lamp 2          uses only a tiny amount of electricity. The lightbulbs in it last for 20 to 30 years before needing 3          (change). But eco-friendly insulation and lighting are much 4          (expensive) than the usual kind, and many people in Cambridge can't afford them. A group called Cambridge Energy Alliance (CEA) 5          (work) to solve this problem. They want to help every resident and business in the city conserve energy. People can ask the group to come and look at 6          they can make their house or office building eco-friendly. The CEA then makes them a plan to save 15 to 30 percent on heating, gas, water, and electricity. Then the group helps people borrow money to pay for the improvements. The money that people save 7          being more efficient should be enough to pay back the loan. It was ten years ago 8          the city of Cambridge decided to try to reduce its carbon emissions. More than 80 percent of the carbon dioxide 9          (produce) in Cambridge comes from buildings--not from cars. If the program is successful, it will not only save a lot of energy but also make new jobs for local people. Workers 10          (need) to put in insulation, install better doors and windows, and make other energy improvements on buildings. The CEA hopes that their program will be an example for other cities. 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. analysed B. approached C. banknotes D. detect E. infancy F. optimistic G. pathway H. release I. stirring J. spending K. subconscious The Smell For many years large supermarkets have been encouraging us to spend money by pumping the smell of freshly-baked bread into their stores. Now Dale Air, a leading firm of aroma consultants (香味顾问), has been 11          by Barclay's Bank to develop suitable artificial smells for their banks. Researchers have suggested that surrounding customers with the 'smell of money' will encourage them to feel relaxed and 12          and give them added confidence in the bank's security and professionalism. But before a smell can be manufactured and introduced into banks' air conditioning systems it must be identified and chemically 13         , and this has proved to be difficult. The problem is that banknotes and coins tend to pick up the smell of their surroundings. So cash that has been sitting in a cash register at a fish stand will smell of fish, and 14          used to pay for meals in restaurants will tend to smell of food. It may be a challenge, but aroma experts have little doubt that the use of artificial smells can be an effective form of 15          advertising. Lunn Poly, a British travel company, introduced the smell of coconuts into its travel agencies and saw a big increase in 16          by holiday makers. Many cafes now have electric dispensers that 17          the smell of freshly roasted coffee near their entrances, encouraging customers to come in and have a drink or snack. 'The sense of smell is probably the most basic of all human senses,' explains researcher Jim O'Riordan. 'There is a direct 18          from the nose to the brain.' It is certainly true that most people find certain smells 19          memories and feelings in a way that few other stimulants can match. It is a phenomenon marketing consultants have long recognised, but until recently have been unable to use. 'We've made great progress but the technology of smell production is still in its 20         , says O'Riordan. 'Who knows where it will take us.' II. 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. Teenagers are paradoxical (自相矛盾的). That's a mild way of saying something that parents often express with considerably 21          language. But the paradox is scientific as well as personal. In adolescence, 22          and dependent children who have relied on grown-ups for just about everything get to take care of themselves and help each other. At the same time, once cheerful and obedient children become rebellious teenage 23         . A new study published in the journal Child Development by Eveline Crone of the University of Leiden and colleagues 24          that the positive and negative sides of teenagers go hand in hand. The study is part of a new wave of thinking about adolescence. For a long time, scientists and policy makers 25          the idea that teenagers were a problem that needed to be solved. The new work emphasizes that adolescence is a time of 26          as well as risk. The researchers studied "prosocial (亲社会的)" and rebellious traits in more than 200 children and young adults, ranging from 11 to 28 years old. The participants filled out questionnaires about how often they did things that were altruistic and positive, like sacrificing their own interests to help a friend, or rebellious and negative, like getting drunk or staying out late. Other studies have shown that rebellious behavior increases as you become a teenager and then 27          as you grow older. But the new study shows that, interestingly, the same 28          holds for prosocial behavior. Teenagers were more likely than younger children or adults to report that they did things like 29          helping a friend. Most significantly, there was a positive correlation (相关性) between prosociality and rebelliousness. The teenagers who were more rebellious were also more likely to help others. The good and bad sides of adolescence seem to develop 30         . Is there some common factor that 31          these apparently conflicting developments? One idea is that teenage behavior is related to what researchers call "reward sensitivity". Decision-making always involves 32          rewards and risks, benefits and costs. "Reward sensitivity" measures how much reward it takes to outweigh risk. Teenagers are particularly 33          to social rewards like winning the game or impressing a new friend. Reward sensitivity, like prosocial behavior and risk-taking, seems to go up in adolescence and then down again as we 34         . Somehow, when you hit 30, the chance that something exciting and new will happen at that party just doesn't seem to outweigh the 35          of getting up off the couch. 21. A. plainer B. stronger C. more different D. more complex 22. A. careless B. promising C. emotional D. helpless 23. A. risk-takers B. trouble-shooters C. decision-makers D. care-providers 24. A. demands B. questions C. suggests D. denies 25. A. concentrated on B. fought against C. came across D. looked over 26. A. matter B. opportunity C. danger D. consideration 27. A. moves on B. dies out C. sets off D. fades away 28. A. behavior B. study C. pattern D. report 29. A. unconsciously B. unwillingly C. unselfishly D. unthoroughly 30. A. separately B. together C. straight D. randomly 31. A. explores B. foresees C. influences D. underlies 32. A. balancing B. discovering C. forgetting D. exchanging 33. A. attached B. committed C. sensitive D. similar 34. A. age B. grow C. leave D. stay 35. A. chance B. effort C. risk D. habit 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） Judging by the historic record, we've been fascinated by our reflections for a long time. Some of the earliest human-made mirrors date to 6200 B.C. in Turkey. But even back then, mirrors were largely used to assess how beautiful we were. Egyptian paintings and carvings show the upper classes combing their hair and applying thick red, green, yellow and black cosmetics in front of mirrors. Mirrors were associated from early on with vanity (虚荣). Through the middle ages, the technology for mirrors was simple: Fashioned from blown glass, they were usually small and often convex (凸面的). In the Renaissance, Italians began developing techniques for making flatter glass, and in 1507 hit upon a way of covering the back of the glass with mercury and tin to produce clear mirrors. This new technology was wonderful, but so expensive that nobles sometimes sold property just to afford one. In the 16th and 17th centuries, mirror making was so costly that it required the investment of half of France's GDP. By the time the Renaissance was in full flower, wealthy noblemen could get large mirrors in which they could see their entire body at a glance. It was a transformative sight. The historian Ian Mortimer believes that mirrors were central in developing the modern sense of the individual. "Mankind," says Mortimer, became "a valid topic of study in his own right." As the playwright and novelist Louis-Sebastien Mercler noted in the1780s, wealthy young men would look "at four mirrors at once to see themselves". In 1715, the essayist Richard Steele observed groups of people visiting a London mirror shop, where "they will certainly be well pleased, for they will have unavoidable opportunities of seeing what they most like.... I mean their own dear selves." Many others thought nothing of all this self-regard. In the early years of America, "mirrors were considered, within American society, a kind of luxury that was somewhat shameful," says Josiah McElheny, a Brooklyn-based artist who works with mirrors. Some countries leveled taxes on large mirrors. America's mirror taxes were so high that if a furniture maker wished to create a full-body-sized reflection without going bankrupt (破产), he had to assemble it from several smaller mirrors. It wasn't until the last decades of the 19th century that the industrial world could finally make big mirrors cheaply. Production exploded and mirrors quickly passed from luxurious products for the rich to everyday devices that were affordable among an emerging middle class. In 1897, Sears Roebuck advertised ten-inch-square mirrors for only 50 cents apiece and said: "No house is complete without a number of small mirrors which are handy in so many rooms." 36. Which of the following statements is true of the mirrors in the Renaissance? A. They were rather small in size. B. They were unaffordable to most people. C. They were mostly manufactured in Italy. D. They were no longer associated with vanity. 37. According to Ian Mortimer, what change did mirrors bring about? A. Humans started to think of themselves as an individual. B. More and more mirrors shops sprang up all over Europe. C. Novelists began to write about people's love for mirrors. D. People cared about their appearance for the first time. 38. In the early years of America, mirrors ________. A. brought their makers much profit B. were regarded as something meaningless C. were mostly assembled from small pieces D. caused many furniture makers to go bankrupt 39. What is the passage mainly about? A. The transformative sight of mirrors. B. The varying enthusiasm for mirrors. C. The historic development of mirrors. D. The change in people's attitudes to mirrors. （B） A Case Against the Clock We're so busy. We schedule and make full use of our time, squeezing all the efficiency we can out of each day. Time management we believe, is the solution to our busyness: if we could organize our time better, we'd be less busy, happier, and more effective. Is this really the case? Research shows that if you increase people's awareness of time-by placing a big clock in front of them-they do more stuff. (Think about how much work you get done on the day before vacation.) It makes sense that by getting more done, we'd feel more in control. More than that, it's one of the great fantasies of time management: If you get more organized, you will get on top. However, that works only in a finite (有限的) world. We haven't lived in that world for quite a while. In our infinite world, we will never be able to get on top of everything. When we complete more tasks, more take their place--send more e-mails, get more replies. As we seek to maximize our time, we slice and dice it into ever-smaller parts. But when we divide our attention among a thousand mini activities, we prevent ourselves from engaging deeply or thinking properly. Conversations with friends are disemboweled with frequent "productive" glances at the inbox; our ability to think is decimated by the distraction of the ping and the ring. We maintain a state of chaotic mental activity that is the opposite of the best psychological state of flow, where attention is allowed to sink into an activity without distraction, where we bring our thoughts, actions, and goals into perfect synchronicity (同步). Flow doesn't happen in a short period of time but in long duration of attention. Effectiveness comes from two core factors: prioritization and achievement. When we prioritize well, we choose to do the right things, not just the obvious things. Yet a strong time awareness makes us prioritize the urgent and immediate rather than the important and strategic. Research by Microsoft, for example, suggests that 77 percent of U.K. workers feel they have had a productive day if they have emptied their inbox. It horrifies me to see the number of blogs and books that focus on getting to an empty inbox or zero tasks, as if either achievement were worthwhile. No business or life was changed by an empty inbox. 40. What is the main idea of the passage? A. We should make full use of time. B. It is not easy to schedule our time. C. Time management is not all that good. D. We should learn how to organize our time. 41. Choose three sentences from the following sentences (a-d) that best fit the blanks in the passage. a. Your Efficiency Matters b. You're Less Effective c. Your Attention Suffers d. You Just Get Busier A. 1:a;2:b;3:c B. 1:a;2:c;3:d C. 1:d; 2:b;3:a D. 1:d;2:c,3:b 42. Which of the following statements is the writer most likely to agree with? A. We can never get everything done. B. We should forget about the state of flow. C. It's important to deal with urgent tasks first. D. It's wise to divide a big task into mini activities. （C） Imagine a world in which your life is filled with intelligent advertisements. Jaron Lanier, who was an adviser on Minority Report, a sci-fi film, worries that this could be the future. A few platform firms, he fears, will control what consumers see and hear and other companies will have to use some of their profits (by buying ads) to gain access to them. It may sound ridiculous, but it is increasingly what investors are banking on. The total market value of a basket of a dozen American firms that depend on ad revenue (收益), or are designing their strategies around it, has risen by 126% over the past five years. The part of America's economy that is ad-centric has become systematically important, with a market value that is larger than the banking industry. The huge sums being bet on advertising raise a question: how much of it can America take? A back-of-the-envelope calculation by Schumpeter suggests that stock prices currently imply that American advertising revenues will rise from 1% of GDP today, to as much as 1.8% of GDP by 2027—a massive jump. Since 1980 the average has been 1.3%, according to Jonathan Barnard of Zenith, a media agency, and in the past few years the advertising market relative to GDP has been shrinking. There are reasons why it might go on, points out Bob Norman of GroupM another media agency. In the old days advertisers in Time magazine or on billboards in Times Square were what only giant firms could afford. But tech platforms have done a brilliant job of persuading smaller companies to spend money targeting customers. Adverts could become even more effective at identifying customers and attracting them to spend money, using data that have been gathered to anticipate their needs. As commerce shifts online, firms will cut back on conventional marketing, freeing up budgets to spend more on digital ads. Yet there is a logical limit to the size of the advertising market: the irritation factor, or how much consumers can absorb without being put off. The golden rule used to be that ads could comprise no more than 33–50% of TV or radio programming, or of a magazine's pages, says Rishad Tobaccowala, of Publicis, an advertising firm. The digital world is already showing signs of saturation. More people are using ad-blocking software. Tech brands that avoid bombarding (狂轰滥炸) customers with ads, such as Apple and Netflix, are wildly popular. 43. What can be learned from paragraph 2? A. Some decisions that investors make are ridiculous. B. Investors are optimistic about intelligent advertising. C. The banking industry itself has been shrinking greatly. D. More American firms devote themselves to advertising. 44. According to Bob Norman, why might American advertising revenues account for a larger part of GDP? A. Conventional marketing is losing its appeal. B. Giant firms will spend much more on advertising. C. Advertising will be available to more and more firms. D. Customers are becoming more willing to spend money. 45. By "The digital world is already showing signs of saturation" (paragraph 6), the writer means that A. ad-blocking software needs to be used more widely B. customers can hardly skip a website filled with advertisement C. the digital world is not as advanced as commonly thought D. the online advertising market may have reached its limit 46. What is the passage mainly about? A. The limits of intelligent advertising. B. The prospects of intelligent advertising. C. The advantages of intelligent advertising. D. The dominance of intelligent advertising. 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 Unified Theory of Corned Beef A. Almost nothing could be more different from British corned beef. B. Those with more morals than greed, perhaps, have developed patterns of exclusion. C. But then things get complicated. D. We're going to have to question a lot of attitudes towards buying and eating food. E. I love English corned beef with a passion entirely equal to the "original". F. What was originally designed as a technical solution to starvation has been tested by the world's largest focus group: ordinary shoppers. "Corn" is supposed to refer to large crystals of salt and thus "corned" beef is salt beef. 47          In the US, corned beef is a brisket--a big piece of strongly flavoured cow muscle. There is probably no experience as exciting to the food lover as standing in the queue of a Manhattan restaurant and watching a counterman cut wafer-thin slices off a huge chunk of corned beef. 48          In 1847, German scientist Baron Justus von Liebig invented a way of processing cheap beef with which he hoped to feed the masses of the industrial revolution. It was made by salting beef, boiling it and breaking it up into small chips, then setting it in its own fat. A group of businesspeople began making the stuff in Fray Bentos, in Uruguay, where the beef was cheap, and began supplying it as military rations. The French called it boeuf bouilli or "boiled beef", which the British army named Bully Beef. It was "corned beef" all right, just like the American stuff, but only in the way that diamonds and charcoal (木炭) are both carbon. Yet here's the odd truth. 49          Of course, it's the very role model of processed food and yet there's something engaging about it, from the way it stands there on a plate, waiting to be sliced, to the way it breaks under the fork as you push it hard into hot potatoes. Above all, it's still there, on the shelves, like it has been through every national disaster since its invention. This isn't simply some rosy nonsense. 50          They have tasted it and found it good. So good indeed that it continues to outlive any food craze. III. Summary Writing Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Obesity: Should We Compare It to Smoking? Controversy brings wide reach and media attention. Cancer Research UK (CRUK) has attracted plenty, with its new ads featuring images of old-fashioned cigarette packets with the simple message 'obesity is a cause of cancer too'. However, this new campaign may be doing more harm than good. Smoking and obesity are fundamentally different: smoking is a behaviour (something people do) while obesity is a physical outcome (a measurement of body mass). At an individual level, the most effective way to reduce smoking-related cancers is to stop smoking. This very approach doesn't suit obesity. People can't just stop eating. Besides, body weight and size are influenced by many different factors both at a personal level (genetics, psychology) and a societal level (built environment, government policies). For instance, some people are born to have a higher body mass and be more resistant to weight loss than others. This means societal factors affect some people more than others and weight management isn't the same for everybody. Regardless, the sight of these cigarette-style posters encourages people to associate smoking with obesity, in particular, that obesity is the result of irresponsibility. The simple fact is that neither smoking nor obesity are merely outcomes of people making bad choices. In this way, this campaign encourages weight discrimination. Smoking is considered to be unfairly damaging the health of others, through passive smoking--the same cannot be said for obesity. However, as the media debate has shown, this comparison creates an unfriendly environment for people of higher weights. So how could the CRUK campaign be improved? The CRUK campaign should educate the public about how inequality, unemployment and lack of food industry regulation increase the risk of cancer, and encourage people to support social change. Rather than increasing unfriendliness towards people of higher weights, CRUK should bring people together in a call for positive action. IV.
