Two Trips Artur: Route 66 When I was growing up in Hungary in the 70s, Route 66 was like a mythical highway. The Rolling Stones' version of the song was very popular back then and I knew the lyrics (歌词) by heart. Ever since then, I 1          (want) to drive it--and last year my dream finally came true. To celebrate our 50th birthdays, I flew to Chicago with an old friend, Attila. We then hired a car and set off for LA--more than 2000 miles away! We hadn't done much research 2          we left--and soon discovered that the road is no longer really in use! Its peak years were the 1930s through to the 60s and since then it's fallen into disrepair. As a result, much of the journey was quite bumpy; we went through some really out-of-the-way places--and got 3          (lose) quite a bit as well! We drove through some really boring scenery--mile after mile of farmland--and, of course, we had the occasional quarrel. Spending all that time together meant they were bound 4          (happen)! Having said that, we ended up better friends than ever. Felix: The Trans-Siberian Railway I'm studying Chinese at university and last year I went to Beijing. I've always loved trains, so I decided to go across Russia on the Trans-Siberian express. I had wanted to travel alone as my image of group tours is middle-aged people 5          (follow) a guide around like a group of sheep. However, other people advised 6          travelling independently and the Vodkatrain group tour turned out to be quite different from the usual tour. There were only eight of us--all in 7          twenties. I guess being stuck on a train for hours day after day you either end up bonding or wanting to kill each other and luckily we formed a strange bond. The guides in the cities we stopped off at were local students who gave us useful information about 8          most tourists don't go. Their friends even came along sometimes, so not only 9          we pass through some amazing countryside, but we also met some remarkable people. There were many highlights, among 10          Lake Baikal was the best. It's this vast expanse of incredibly pure water and the whole area is almost untouched by the modern world. 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. clearance B. comprehensive C. conservation D. counted E. habitat F. mixed G. respectively H. stable I. surrounded J. sustainably K. undiscovered Orangutan (猩猩) numbers recover in well-managed forests An airborne survey of endangered orangutans in Sabah, the Malaysian state in the northeast of Borneo, has found that populations have stabilised within well-managed forests but are still in decline in areas with extensive palm oil plantations (棕榈油种植园). The study was carried out by the World Wide Fund for Nature and is the biggest, most 11          survey of orangutans in Borneo to date. The large area of lowland forest in Sabah is the best 12          for orangutans. However, over the past 50 years extensive logging and land 13          for agriculture has led to a great decline in their numbers. The researchers surveyed an area of almost 5,500 sq km. Based on the number of tree-borne nests 14          they estimate that there are almost 10,000 orangutans living in the area. This includes more than 1,500 previously 15          animals spread out in small groups. The majority of orangutans, around 5,550, were found living within 16          managed forests or in the central uplands away from the loggers. The numbers in this area have remained 17          since 2002, suggesting that conservation efforts are proving successful. In contrast, orangutan numbers in forests 18          by extensive areas of palm oil plantations have fallen by as much as 30 percent. "A recent survey on orangutan populations in Sabah, northeast Borneo showed a(n) 19          picture from different regions," said the World Wide Fund for Nature's Donna Simon. "However, overall the research shows that they have maintained the same numbers over the last 15 years and can remain so as long as proper 20          measures continue to be put in place." 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. I decided to retire my personal social website account. It all began with a detailed review of my own Instagram account. I worked out that more than 80 per cent of the photos I had posted featured my 21         . In some ways this seemed 22         . If social websites are for a simple game of showing off, these two are clearly my pride. Next, however, I examined my husband's posts for 23         . In real life, he loves the kids no less than I do. Yet between his two social website accounts, they featured in only about 25 per cent of his photos. The 24          was split between a) kitchens he had designed and b) vinyl (黑胶) records he had purchased (the former being his job, the latter his addiction). We divide our time between work and childcare in comparable proportions. Yet the 25          suggested by our online selves was quite different. According to Katrin Tiidenberg, associate professor of social media and visual culture at Tallinn University, who is publishing a forthcoming book called Sex and Social Media, this is because men and women often have different 26          for sharing information on social media. When my husband posted a photo of Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska on vinyl, his aim was 27         , my conversation with Tiidenberg implied. As the words on his post suggested, he mainly wanted the world to know that the 1982 album is: "so good". When I posted a photo of our daughter eating fish fingers in fancy dress, sure, I was 28         . She looked amazing. I was hoping that her star quality might reflect, just a little, on me. But according to Tiidenberg: "Women tend to use social media as a tool to maintain their social 29         . They take those into account when they post and when deciding how they post." A photo of a five-year-old in fancy-dress, 30         , doesn't just say: "so good". It can, meanwhile, say: "Hello godmother, who we feel guilty for cancelling on the other day", "Hello cousins, who are now in Australia and feel a little disconnected..." Tiidenberg is careful to stress that she's "not making any essentialist argument" about women and men's 31          for either type of content. Instead, she argues, women have always been trained to take responsibility for cultivating and managing social networks: "They're told it's what they're 32         ." In the distant pre-digital past, women were 33          guardians of the family photo album. And even today, says Tiidenberg, a division of 34          labour endures within many families in our offline worlds: "Who remembers people's birthdays, sends your mother a card and buys the Christmas presents?" The knowledge that I had also 35          responsibility for the online equivalent made me feel angry. 21. A. children B. work C. addiction D. hobbies 22. A. strange B. unnecessary C. possible D. natural 23. A. information B. development C. consideration D. comparison 24. A. reality B. remainder C. knowledge D. visibility 25.

A. showing off B. taking on C. setting out D. looking aside 29. A. positions B. services C. ties D. aims 30. A. at the beginning B. in other words C. on the whole D. by contrast 31. A. preferences B. demands C. support D. search 32. A. unaware of B. afraid of C. present at D. good at 33. A. unusually B. doubtfully C. typically D. contrarily 34. A. emotional B. casual C. domestic D. physical 35. A. denied B. shifted C. assumed D. stressed 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） At the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian, there was a pair of snow goggles made from whale baleen. This style of eyewear, which protects eyes from injury, can even improve vision, as Ann Fienup-Riordan, a researcher at the museum, discovered one day in 2010. As a scientist who works with the Yupik people, Alaska's inhabitants, to develop exhibits and books about their culture, she had recently undergone surgery on her eyes, and "the vision in my right eye was still pretty poor," she says. But when she held the Yupik goggles up to her eyes? "I could see!" What was going on? It turns out the slit cut into the goggles focuses the light, much as a camera does. As a result, far-off objects appear sharper "and your vision was much, much better," Fienup-Riordan says. The gear shows exceptional engineering talent. The Yupik language does not have a word for "science", but the Yupik people have had a grasp of the physics, biology and chemistry that govern the natural world. They use every material they can get their hands on to craft tools and clothing that help them survive a challenging environment. To keep warm indoors, they designed an entrance to their wooden houses that tunnels downward in a U shape. Since warm air rises, it cannot escape through the underground exit. To keep dry they created a waterproof lining out of fish skins. Out hunting and fishing, the Yupik people always carry a negcik, a wooden walking stick with a bone hook attached to the end. It has various uses: taking items out of boats, protecting yourself from bears, or pulling yourself out of freezing water if you're unlucky enough to fall in. "Our ancestors were so creative in making hunting tools," a Yupik elder named Willie Kamkoff once told Fienup-Riordan. Paul John, a Yupik elder who lives in Toksook Bay, says, "One can see their intelligence through their things." Some Yupik elders worry that reliance on modern Western goods and urban life is dimming reliance on creative traditions. But Fienup-Riordan believes that enough people are still hunting and fishing to preserve essential techniques. A new issue is emerging, though, one that is disrupting generations-old seasonal patterns. "The ocean isn't freezing up the way it did in the past," she says. "Freeze-up is later in the fall. And break-up is much earlier in the spring. It's really extraordinary." After thousands of years of inventively surviving a subzero world, the Yupik people have a new engineering challenge: adapting to a warmer one. 36. What did Ann Fienup-Riordan find about the Yupik goggles? A. They can improve vision. B. They can protect eyes from injury. C. They are made from the whale baleen. D. They are used by the Yupik people as a camera. 37. Paragraph 3 is mainly intended to A. show that the Yupik people are good at making tools out of wood B. explain why the Yupik language does not have a word for "science" C. highlight the Yupik people's talent in turning waste into useful tools D. give examples of the Yupik people's innovative solutions for survival 38. According to Ann Fienup-Riordan, what new challenge are the Yupik people faced with now? A. Living conditions in a subzero world. B. The changing environmental patterns. C. The disappearance of creative traditions. D. Reliance on modern western goods and urban life. 39. What is the passage mainly about? A. The museum that shows the Yupik's people's talent. B. The history of the Yupik people's survival and evolution. C. The researcher who is dedicated to studying the Yupik culture. D. The Yupik people's creativity in adapting to their environment. （B） Ancient Greek pottery is one of our most important windows into ancient Greek life. Thousands of vases survive, painted with scenes from daily life, myths and sports. These vases were not made as museum pieces. They were ordinary objects used for drinking wine, storing oil or mixing water. Yet their paintings tell us far more than written texts about how ordinary people lived 2,500 years ago. In ancient Greece, pottery-making was a major craft. Workshops were usually small family businesses. Men shaped the clay on the potter's wheel. Women sometimes painted the vases, though most painters were men. Some painters signed their work. Most did not. Many beautiful pots were produced for everyday use. Others were made as grave gifts, prizes for sports competitions or wedding presents. There are two main styles of painted Greek pottery: black-figure and red-figure. In black-figure style, figures are painted in black slip on the red clay surface. Details are cut into the black paint with a sharp tool. In red-figure style, the background is painted black, and the figures are left showing the natural red colour of the clay. Artists could draw much finer details with red-figure technique, so this style gradually became more popular. For modern researchers, these pots are precious evidence. Writers in ancient Greece mostly came from wealthy, educated male backgrounds. Their books often focus on upper-class men's politics and wars. Pottery, by contrast, shows women, children, slaves and working-class people going about their daily activities. We can see weaving, cooking, farming, sports and religious ceremonies. Of course, we must be careful. Pottery painters were artists, not documentary photographers. They might exaggerate or omit details. But even with these limitations, ancient Greek pottery remains an invaluable source for understanding the past. 40. What was the original purpose of most ancient Greek pottery vases? A. To serve as practical daily-use objects. B. To be exhibited in public museums. C. To record important historical events. D. To win competitions for painters. 41. Compared with black-figure style, red-figure pottery ______. A. was mostly painted by women artists B. allowed artists to paint more detailed pictures C. used black clay as the main material D. was mainly used as grave gifts 42. Why are ancient Greek pots so valuable for modern researchers? A. Most of them have clear painter signatures. B. They only record the life of upper-class males. C. They show the lives of various groups of ancient Greeks. D. They are completely reliable documentary records of real life. （C） "Moby-Dick" was, for me, one of those books classified as "things you should have read a long time ago". Plus, I am a mathematician. And despite my interest in literature, my intellectual priorities did not include a 400-page novel about whales. That all changed one day when I overheard a mathematician friend mention that "Moby-Dick" contains a reference to cycloids. Cycloids are among the most beautiful mathematical curves (曲线) in existence--the French mathematician Blaise Pascal found them so distractingly fascinating that he claimed merely thinking about them could relieve the pain of a bad toothache--but applications to whaling are not usually listed on their resume. Curious, I finally read "Moby-Dick", and was delighted to find that it is full of mathematical metaphors. I realized further it's not just Herman Melville; Leo Tolstoy writes about calculus (微积分), James Joyce about geometry (几何). Regretfully, the connections between mathematics and literature have not received the attention they deserve. In fact, they are often considered to be against each other. I recall that at the end of my very last English class at school, in 1991, the teacher gave me a lovely handwritten note with a long list of books she thought I might like, saying, "Sorry to lose you to the lab." The idea that one would have to choose between mathematics and literature is, I think, something of a tragedy--not only because the two fields are fundamentally linked, but also because understanding these links can enhance your enjoyment of both. The perceived boundary between math and literature is actually a very recent idea. For most of recorded history, mathematics was part of every educated person's cultural awareness. The 11th-century Persian scholar Omar Khayyam, to whom the poetry collection known as the Rubaiyat is credited, was also a mathematician, and created beautiful geometric solutions to mathematical problems. In the 14th century, Chaucer wrote both "The Canterbury Tales" and a paper on the astrolabe (星盘，用于测量天体的距离). There are innumerable such examples, not least that of Lewis Carroll, who, of course, was a mathematician first and an author second. There is a deeper reason we find mathematics at the heart of literature. The universe is full of underlying structure, pattern and regularity, and mathematics is the best tool we have for understanding it--that's why mathematics is often called the language of the universe, and why it is so vital to science. Since we humans are part of the universe, it is only natural that our forms of creative expression, literature among them, will also reveal a tendency for pattern and structure. 43. What inspired the writer to read "Moby-Dick"? A. The topic of the book. B. His friend's recommendation. C. His long-time interest in literature. D. There being some maths in the book. 44. The writer's English teacher's words are mentioned in paragraph 2 in order to A. form a sharp contrast with the attainment he later made B. show that maths and literature are regarded as distinctive subjects C. protest against the unfair treatment he once received while young D. imply that mathematics and literature haven't received proper attention 45. What do Omar Khayyam, Chaucer and Lewis Carroll have in common? A. All of them were famous novelists. B. All of them were in favour of reading widely. C. All of them were masters in both maths and literature. D. All of them were aware of the boundary between maths and literature. 46. Which of the following statements is the writer most likely to agree with? A. Both maths and literature are part of the pursuit to understand the universe. B. There is enough research on the connections between maths and literature. C. Taking on maths and giving up literature was not a wise choice for him. D. Mathematicians may find it hard to understand ideas embedded in literature. 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. Smart Home Security A. A combination of devices can make your home dangerous. B. Things get really weird when your home gets hijacked. C. So if you decide you need it, make sure you set up a strong password for it. D. The number one risk is invasion of privacy. E. It's difficult for the consumer to know which product is going to be good and which product is going to be bad. F. Are you willing to gamble your privacy for the sake of being able to turn something off and on remotely? Many of us are buying smart home devices, but are we signing away our safety? Security expert Ken Munro reveals all. What risks come with smart gadgets? 47          If you've got smart cameras, or any device that's listening to you, there's a chance those can be hijacked (劫持) and you can get spied on. We [my company, Pen Test Partners] found bugs in in-house security cameras, baby monitors and smart home assistants. We looked at an interactive kids' doll that has a microphone and speaker, and connects to your phone via Bluetooth. When you connect to the doll there is no PIN, which means that anyone within Bluetooth range, 30, 40, 50 metres away, can connect. That means that someone outside on the street or in the next house can listen to the microphone and spy on your kids, and can talk to them as well. 48          We showed, a few years ago, the very first case of ransomware (勒索软件) being loaded onto a smart thermostat (恒温器). It's all about a loss of control. You lost control of your heating system, so what? But what if that was your car? What if that was a life support system? That's where things get scary. What if it's your smart door locks and you can't get in or out of your own house? How can we protect ourselves? First of all, when buying a product, ask yourself if you need it. 49          There are some fantastic smart products out there that, for example, allow you to be more efficient with your energy. 50          And don't use the one you use somewhere else. Write it down somewhere privately, or use a tool called a password manager that does it all for you. Lastly, keep everything up to date. When updates come out for your computer, your phone, or your apps, they're there to fix security bugs, so if you don't apply them, your product is becoming easier to attack. 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. 51. Keeping the holiday-makers happy This is the second year as a chalet girl for Sarah Sutherland-Pilch, a 24-year-old from West Sussex. Known by her nickname, Pilch, Sarah works for a company in Val d'Isère, France, cooking and cleaning for visitors who come to ski and stay in the wooden houses, known as chalets, that are characteristic of the area. Sarah graduated in French and History of Art from Oxford Brookes University last summer. Being a chalet girl isn't a career, she says, but an enjoyable way to spend a year or two before settling down. 'It's a good way to make contacts. I meet successful people every week.' Sarah does not 'live in'. She gets up at 7 a.m. to walk the mile or so to the chalet, which sleeps up to 18 guests each week. She has her own breakfast before preparing that of the guests. When the last of the guests has had breakfast, by about 9.30 a.m., Sarah clears up and either makes the afternoon tea, which is left for the guests to help themselves to, or cleans the rooms--'the worst part of the job,' she says. By about 11 a.m. she is ready to go on the slopes herself. She skis as much as possible. 'On a good day we can be up there until 4.30 p.m.' Sarah returns to the chalet in time to prepare dinner and takes a shower before doing so, but does not sleep. 'It's fatal if you do,' she says. Dinner, a three-course affair, is served at 8 p.m. and coffee is usually on the table by 10 p.m. Sarah clears away the dinner things and fills the dishwasher. 'There's nothing worse than coming into a messy kitchen the next morning.' IV.
