Different background shouldn’t mean lesser education. Fifty years ago, in a primary school classroom, two boys aged 11 took an examination (27) ________ was called the 11-plus. It would make decisions about the rest of their lives. Paul passed and went to a “grammar school”. Baz failed the examination and went to a “secondary modern school”. They did not see each other again for years. Many grammar schools (28) ________ (establish) hundreds of years ago to teach the Latin language to children who were not from rich families. They encouraged students to study (29) ________ they were 18 and then to go to university. Secondary modern school students left at 16, usually (30) ________ fewer qualifications than grammar school students. Baz says the secondary modern school had (31) ________ (few) resources and the quality of teaching was not as good. Things have changed. In the 1960s and the 1970s “comprehensive schools” were created. Today, 90 percent of children aged 11 to 16 from the same area go to the same school without (32) ________ (take) any entry examination. The British often disagrees about the best way (33) ________ (educate) their children.

It’s completely normal for parents of growing children to be concerned about their child’s safety, but is their 43 to social media really harming them? Social media was created to 44 people with others online and has recently been added to smartphones, making it far more 45 than it originally was. This new way to easily be able to use social media has encouraged children and teens to begin to use sites such as Facebook and Twitter frequently. Maturing teens and children are usually very timid when it comes to socializing with their families, which they sometimes view as “annoying”. So, what do these kids use as a solution or a(n) “ 46 ”? The answer is simple: social media. However, when they use social media for a large amount of time, parents tend to show concern for their child and 47 social media for demanding their attention. The word, “social”, was entered into the term, social media, for a reason. Parents of growing teens don’t seem to understand that. When they see their child using Twitter, they think that they are using it to get away from real world responsibility. The truth, however, is that they are using it to connect with their 48 friends, make new friends, and receive information about what is 49 happening in the modern world. Children and teens are 50 accused for using social media only for entertainment purposes and for huge amounts of time. Sure everyone who uses social media enjoys 51 their friends and viewing entertaining things, but how come children receive all of the blame for abusing it? Parents should really think about how social media can help children and teens learn and grow in the real world rather than it just being another 52 . Social media as a whole has both positive and negative aspects, but after all of the feedback from pre-teens, teens, and parents is put together, it shows that media is actually helping the newer generations in their lives. Ⅳ. Reading Comprehension (41%) 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. In the UK travel is an enriching life experience that will make your resume stand out amongst other applicants. Travel is not simply a pursuit of 53 but also “character-building”, “defining” and potentially “career-boosting”. Most of the people I know here at university 54 the desire to travel and escape the stress surrounding us. But I don’t think, as UK students, we can blame our addiction to international travel simply on a stressful life. Yes, I have a lot to handle and it’s a fine 55 act managing my part-time job, my degree and my social life to a perfect level. In a truly open world, we can get anywhere, see anything and experience every culture under the sun, at the click of a button, and buy a 56 . Many people I met while working in China were surprised at the number of countries I’d travelled to. Compared to friends and family I consider myself vastly 57 . I’ve never set foot across the pond in the U. S. A and Canada, let alone South America and even within Europe my checklist of destinations is far from 58 . I was also met by 59 at how little travelling I had done within my own borders. This was something I had not really considered before. How much of my own country had I really seen and experienced? To those from a place as vast and varied as China, Britain was really so 60 in comparison and so to have spent 20 years there and not seen every part of it was quite surprising. I had a conversation with a Chinese colleague over the reasoning behind our use of golden Cotswold stone, which sounds dull for most people. As a student of history, I found anything 61 fascinating. However it was not the stone within British cities I found interesting. What was 62 was that it was something I had never even considered, and yet here was someone hooked on something I had simply taken for granted. We continued our discussion, yet I was left 63 that I could not answer her question. In China, as well as a wealth of new culture that fascinated me, I discovered that there were parts of the UK’s culture, history, the very structure of my identity that were so different, so unique from China that I also 64 a newly found interest in my own heritage. In this respect, travelling enables you with two things. Firstly you develop a fascination with new cultures, understanding 65 , experiencing cuisines and absorbing the sights and smells of every new city. For many employers this 66 to new locations is seen as tremendous in your personal resume. But alongside increased employability, through international, cross-cultural conversations, you develop an interest in your own history, culture, and customs. You return to your home 67 an understanding of other people’s fascination with it and your own sense of love for its peculiarities. 53. A. leisure B. wealth C. company D. personality 54.

A. appealed to B. filled with C. bothered by D. arrived at 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) My husband and I were once in Nepal (尼泊尔) to see sunrise over the Himalayas. One morning we awoke to total darkness at 5 o’clock. As we rushed through a town with cameras in hand, I noticed the calm, gentle way the Nepalese people greeted the morning. One man boiled a huge pot of milk tea, and other villagers gathered around his fire, cupping their hands around small glasses of the steaming sweet mixture. It was fascinating, but not to be left behind, we joined the stream of tourists moving quickly up to the lookout point. The top was crowded when we arrived, but after 10 minutes of cold waiting, the assembled group gave up. “The cloud cover is too heavy,” one said. Then one by one they rushed down the hill to the next item on their sightseeing list. I was disappointed as well, but suddenly I noticed a small Nepalese boy absently playing with a stick and shooting quick glances at the clouds. He must know something we don’t, I thought. I decided to wait with him. The boy and I didn’t have to wait long. Moments later, a tiny stream of golden light burned through one thick cloud, then another. Rose-colored fog warmed the backs of the clouds, and suddenly the morning sun stole a glance around the side of the mountain, miles above where I’d expected it to be. Nothing I’d seen before prepared me for the moment the clouds withdrew with bowed heads, and the magnificent Himalayas were revealed before, around, and above me. I sat in astonishment, not breathing, not daring to look away, certain that God had placed me here at the backdoor of Earth to show me what Heaven really looks like. I certainly got the message. Never again will I rush a sunrise. I now know Nature will supply her fruits to me only when I am truly ready to receive them. 68. What does “It” in Paragraph 2 most probably imply? A. The darkness of the town in the morning. B. The huge pot of milk tea boiling on the fire. C. The way the local people welcomed the day. D. The stream of tourists rushing to the lookout point. 69 The author decided to wait with the Nepalese boy because A. she felt kind of having faith in him B. the restless tourists disappointed her C. that boy was praying to the sun with a magic stick D. she had nothing more to see on her sightseeing list 70. Which of the following words best describe the author’s feeling when she saw the sunrise? A. Totally disappointed. B. Absolutely amazed. C. Truly frightened. D. Extremely interested. 71. What can be concluded from the passage? A. Do in Rome as the Romans do. B. God helps those who help themselves. C. Time and tide wait for no man. D. Fortune rewards those having patience.

(C) My own experiment with culture shock came to a fruitless end when I returned with homesickness from a year’s study in Italy. I had never heard of culture shock. All I knew was that I was unhappy and wanted to go home. That was twenty years ago, and since then culture shock has become a real field study. It is now understood that any normal person, finding himself or herself for an extended time in a new culture, is in for trouble. The process of “culture shock” is now recognized as so predictable that its four stages have been noticeable. The first is the honeymoon stage, familiar to those of us who love to travel, but never stay in one place long enough to find out what follows. In this stage, the new country and its people seem delightful. Everything is better than home. Everything is so different and charming. Then the bloom comes off the rose. Now the people start to look shallow, selfish and stupid. The different ways of doing things don’t seem interesting any more. You start to feel tired all the time. Culture shock has set in. You feel at sea. The emotional response to culture shock in stage two can be extreme. Confusion, depression and anxiety, and resentment can all enter to varying degrees. You may become physically ill. Little things seem terribly annoying. The happier resolution is to move on to stage three. Adjusting. Rather than itemizing (列举) what’s “wrong” with the natives, you remind yourself that “right” and “wrong” are not meaningful terms in cultural matters. Instead, you try to understand what motivates the natives, perhaps realizing that many of the things you don’t like are related to the things you do like. As time goes on, you should be moving into stage four. Acceptance. At this point, you simply don’t think any more about the specialties of the natives. You accept them as individuals. You have started to feel at home; you know how to do things. You have not rejected your old culture; but the native ways have settled upon you. You feel optimistic about your future here. You have truly arrived. 75. Why do people not suffer from culture shock when they first arrive in a foreign country? A. They love to travel. B The new country and its people are delightful. C. They don’t stay in one place long enough. D. Everything is so different and charming. 76. What do you understand by the underlined sentence “Then the bloom comes off the rose.”? A. The rose blooms. B. The rose comes up. C. Something good goes away. D. Something good comes about. 77. Which of the following statements will the writer agree with? A. Any normal person facing a new culture will be in trouble. B. Culture shock is now recognized as unpredictable. C. When you reject your old culture, you can accept the new one. D. There is no “right” and “wrong” in terms of cultural matters. 78. The passage is mainly about ________. A. the study of culture shock B. the four stages of culture shock and their features C. how to get rid of culture shock D. the writer’s own experiment with culture shock 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. One of the key foods served at this feast is fish. B. Traditional Chinese customs are an important part of the country’s identity. C. Zongzi comes in many flavors, such as sweet red bean and savory pork. D. For many Chinese people, these customs are not just old traditions but living parts of daily life. E. During the Dragon Boat Festival, people also take part in other activities. F. The Spring Festival is celebrated in many countries around the world. The Significance of Traditional Chinese Customs 79 These practices, passed down through generations, are more than just habits — they are the soul of Chinese culture, connecting people to their history and to each other. One of the most well-known Chinese customs is the celebration of the Spring Festival, or Chinese New Year. Families travel thousands of miles to reunite, a tradition called “chunyun” which is often described as the world’s largest annual migration (迁徙). During this time, people clean their homes to sweep away bad luck and decorate with red lanterns and couplets. 80 This dish symbolizes prosperity, as the word for fish in Chinese (“yu”) sounds like the word for “surplus.” On New Year’s Eve, families gather for a big feast, and children receive red envelopes filled with money, known as “hongbao,” to wish them good fortune. Another important custom is the Dragon Boat Festival, held on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. This festival honors the ancient poet Qu Yuan, and people celebrate by racing dragon boats and eating zongzi — glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo leaves. 81 They hang mugwort (艾草) and calamus (香蒲) on doorsteps to ward off (驱逐) evil spirits and disease. These activities not only keep Qu Yuan’s memory alive but also encourage community teamwork, especially during the dragon boat races. Traditional customs also play a role in shaping personal values. For example, the Mid-Autumn Festival, a time for family reunions under the full moon, teaches people the importance of togetherness and gratitude. People share mooncakes, a sweet pastry, and admire the moon, passing down stories like the legend of Chang’e. 82 In a fast-paced modern world, they remind people of their roots and provide a sense of belonging. Preserving these customs is not just about keeping the past alive — it’s about ensuring that future generations can understand and take pride in Chinese culture. Ⅵ.
