A woman named Emily (25) __________ (renew) her driver‟s license was asked by a woman recorder to state her occupation. She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself. “What I mean is (26) __________ you have a job.” explained the recorder.

“Of course I have a job,” replied Emily. “I‟m a mother.” “We don‟t list „mother‟ (27) __________ an occupation … „Housewife‟ covers it,” said the recorder. I forgot all about her story (28) __________ one day I found myself in the same situation at Town Hall. The clerk was obviously a career woman. “What is your occupation?” she asked. I don‟t know what made me say it. The words simply got out. “I‟m a researcher in the field of Child Development and Human Relation.” The clerk paused and looked up (29) __________ __________she hadn‟t heard right. “Might I ask,” said the clerk, “what do you do in your field?” Coolly, I heard myself reply, “I have a continuing program of research, in the laboratory and in the field. Normally, I would have said indoors and out. I‟m working for my Master, the whole family, and already have four credits. Of course, the job is one of the (30) __________ (demanding) in the humanities, and I often work 14 hours a day, but the job is more challenging and the rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.” There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk‟s voice as she completed the form, stood up and personally showed me to the door. As I drove into our driveway, I was greeted by my lab assistant. Upstairs I could hear my new experimental model, a six-month-old baby, in the child-development program, (31) __________ (test) out a new vocal pattern. I felt proud! Motherhood … What a glorious career!

(B)

Once upon a time, a boy was walking through a large woods (32) __________ he found a big blackboard hanging on an old tree trunk. It came complete with a box of chalk pieces, and bright sparks were flying from the tips of every piece of chalk. The boy took a piece of chalk and started to draw on the blackboard: first a tree, then a rabbit, and then a flower …

Magically, whenever he finished a figure, it came to life and jumped out of the blackboard. Before long, the place became a wonderfully green and fertile forest, full of animals playing happily.

(33)__________ (excite), the boy also drew his parents and brothers and sisters enjoying a picnic, with their sandwiches and cold meats. He also drew the paper plates and the empty tins of sardines（沙丁鱼） left on the ground, (34) __________ always happened on their picnics.

He was quick and lucky, and didn‟t leave a single piece of litter. The forest and its animals managed to recover, and they played together for the rest of the day.

A. necessarily B. claims C. functioning D. measures E. average F. consumption G. bothering H. obviously I . addition J. questionable K. raise Would you believe that drinking water is one of the most healing things you can do for your body? It‟s true as long as it is pure, alkaline（碱性的）water. Yet most water is acidic. Water that __41__ less than 7 on the PH scale is acidic. Water that is higher than 7 is alkaline. To support life, water needs to be on the alkaline side of the range, much like our bodies. Drinking pure, alkaline water is important to great health. I believe that most of the disease __42__ people in the Western world couldn‟t occur in a PH-balanced body. Most tap water is highly acidic due to the __43__ of various chemicals. Don‟t assume that bottled water is __44__ a better choice than tap water. Most bottled water is of __45__ quality and largely made up of tap water plus the

off-gassing of chemicals from the plastic in which it is stored. Most bottled water is extremely acidic, making it harmful to your health and the health of the planet, too. Water filtration（过滤） is a necessary part of our modern life. There are many water filtration systems that get rid of some of the harmful chemicals, but few systems that also __46__ the PH of water to increase its healing powers. Every company __47__ that its systems are the best. I‟ve spent some time trying to find affordable water filtration systems. Every cell in your body depends on enough water to ensure proper __48__. It‟s important to drink between 12 and 20 cups of alkaline water each day. Every person has individual needs but if you are smaller than __49__ and in excellent health, your water needs will obviously be lower than someone who is fat and in poor health. As your health problems improve and you lose any extra weight, you can reduce your water __50__ to 12 cups each day.

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.

Many of us have characteristics that are inherited from our families. Maybe we have our father‟s eyes or our grandmother‟s hair color – __51__ features that result from the genes we inherit. But there are other elements of our personalities such as behaviors and viewpoints that we pick up by __52__ our parents. Perhaps we have picked up our mother‟s love of cleaning or our dad‟s sense of humor. Now, researchers at the University of Michigan believe there may be a specific viewpoint we can thank our parents for: the way we __53__ work. The researchers referred to previous studies that identified three main ways of viewing work.

First, there are job-oriented (以求职为目的的)people, those who __54__ to see their job as simply a way to make money. They __55__ to clocking out（打卡下班）every day and pursuing fun activities __56__ the office. If you have a job-oriented father, you may view work this way. __57__, if you grew up close to your mother you probably will not hold this viewpoint. One possible __58__ cited by the study: Youngsters that grow up close to their mothers are less likely to view work as just a job. Second, there are career-oriented（追求事业型的）people who see their job as a place to find __59__ and gain a sense of __60__. These are the people who don‟t __61__ working overtime. In fact, some people love their jobs so much that they become workaholics! They are more comfortable in the office than at home. According to the study, being close to a career- oriented father while growing up means there‟s a good chance you‟ll share his perspective. Oddly, having a mother with this viewpoint seems to have little __62__. Third, there are calling-oriented workers – folks who view their job as a way to make a (n) __63__ impact upon the world. They are more __64__ with improving the world around them than earning a large salary. In the study, those who expressed a strong calling (天职)orientation came from homes where both parents were calling-oriented. This suggests that adolescents need the support of both parents in order to have the confidence to put __65__ first and career success second.

The good news is – we still have choice. Whether we share our parents‟ views of work or not, we can still find a

B. physical B. neglecting B. think B. manage B. inside

C. biological C. implying C. evaluate C. tend C. upside

D. mental D. modeling D. comment D. offer D. are devoted D. downside D. Moreover D. instruction D. achievement D. urgency D. consider D. justice

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)

I‟m afraid we have to accept the fact that criminals are getting younger all the time, but unfortunately the crimes are becoming more serious. I only wish we didn‟t have to admit this but, in doing so, we must first ask ourselves what‟s wrong with our society, or else our children clearly couldn‟t care less about law and order.

The days of the sneak thief who stole a couple of apples or a packet of sweets from a chain store are actually over. I had a chance to say this to a young offender the other day, “Sweets from a chain store?” He said, “You must be joking. That‟s what kids do.” I may add that he was aged 11. In other words, today‟s young criminals would find it laughable to risk being caught for petty theft of this description. They‟ve got enough money in their pockets to buy the sweets they want, anyway. I think it‟s all too easy to put the blame on anyone but ourselves.

Faced as they are with a society that frequently gives them up on the grounds of color, race or low learning ability, these children turn to crime as a means of showing off their self-respect. Nurtured on films and TV glamorizing (美化) the role of the criminal, they are quick to copy these anti-heroes. It is a matter of increasing concern to the police and government that the Children and Young Persons Act, 1969, is becoming improper to deal with the rise in young criminals. Because the emphasis has been placed on the cause and gentle treatment of their crimes, rather than on old-fashioned methods of punishment, the children themselves know well that there is very little that can be done to prevent them continuing to steal, damage and in some case even cause the death of those they choose to terrorize (恐吓). I don‟t like the look of this situation any more than you do. In our own interests and in those of our children and grandchildren, we cannot continue to take the “it‟s nothing to do with me” attitude we have used for so long. We must unite in a common demand for harder and stricter methods against these young criminals.

66. By raising the question “Sweets from the chain store?”, the writer was asking the boy whether _

A. he wanted some sweets from a chain store B. stealing sweets from a chain store was illegal C. he was caught while stealing from a chain store D. the days of stealing sweets from a chain store were over

67. Psychologically speaking, the reason why some youngsters commit crimes is that _______.

A. they want to take revenge on society

B. they think it a way of showing their self-respect C. they are good at imitating the criminals in the films D. they don‟t know what they are doing is against the law

68. In dealing with young criminals, the writer is obviously in favor of _______.

A. severe punishment once used in the past B. showing great concern about our children C. more patient methods in educating young criminals D. treating every young criminal as our own child 69. In the writer‟s opinion, who should be blamed most? A. TV and films.

B. Young criminals.

C. Police.

D. Society.

_______.

(C)

The British psychoanalyst John Bowlby maintains that separation from the parents during the sensitive \"attachment\" period from birth to three may scar a child's personality and lead to emotional problems in later life. Some people have drawn the conclusion from Bowlby's work that children should not be subjected to day care before the age of three because of the parental separation it causes, and many people do believe this. But there are also arguments against such a strong conclusion.

Firstly, anthropologists point out that the insulated love affair between children and parents found in modern societies does not usually exist in traditional societies. For example, in some tribal societies, such as the Ngoni, the father and mother of a child did not bring up their infant alone - far from it. Secondly, common sense tells us that day care would not be so widespread today if parents, care-takers found children had problems with it. Statistical studies of this kind have not yet been carried out, and even if they were, the results would be certain to be complicated and controversial.

Thirdly, in the last decade, there have been a number of careful American studies of children in day care, and they have uniformly reported that day care had a neutral or slightly positive effect on children's development. But tests that have had to be used to measure this development are not widely enough accepted to settle the issue.

But Bowlby's analysis raises the possibility that early day care has delayed effects. The possibility that such care might lead to, say, more mental illness or crime 15 or 20 years later can only be explored by the use of statistics. Whatever the long-term effects, parents sometimes find the immediate effects difficult to deal with. Children under three are likely to protest at leaving their parents and show unhappiness. At the age of three or three and a half almost all children find the transition to nursery easy, and this is undoubtedly why more and more parents make use of child care at this time. The matter, then, is far from clear-cut, though experience and available evidence indicate that early care is reasonable for infants.

74. The passage primarily argues whether ______. A. day care should be widely spread B. the family relationship is different in traditional societies C. children under three should be sent to nursery schools D. children over three will stop crying when leaving parents

75. 76. 77.

The underlined word “it” in the first paragraph most probably means ______. A. children‟s being subjected to day care B. the conclusion from Bowlby's work C. the sensitive \"attachment\" period D. a child's personality Which of the following statements is NOT against Bowlby's theory?

A. Day care is safe, otherwise there wouldn't be so many nursery schools. B. Parents find the immediate effects of early day care difficult to deal with.

C. Many studies show that day care has a positive effect on children's development.

D. Separation from parent for very young children is common in some traditional societies.[] The writer's attitude towards early day care is that ______. A. children under three should stay with their parents

B. the effects of early day care on children are exaggerated C. early day care has positive effects on children's development

D. the issue is controversial and its settlement calls for the use of statistics

Section C

Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.

Driving in traffic can be extremely stressful. Pedestrians appear out of nowhere, cars suddenly pull out of parking spots, and roads become slippery due to rain or snow. Knowing when to brake and when to accelerate in such situations is hard enough for a human driver, let alone a robotic one. But several carmakers – and a few tech companies – are working to convince drivers to let driverless cars take the wheel. Without question, the most anticipated benefit of driverless cars is improved safety. Driverless systems will feature sensors that detect safety threats that human drivers might miss. Many carmakers already offer systems that alert drivers whenever they get dangerously close to other cars.

Also, driverless systems have the benefit of increased efficiency. Driverless cars won‟t waste as much gas as human drivers do, and guided by advanced GPS, they‟ll always take the fastest route. Once driverless cars become widely available, common people can have their own driver, and they‟ll just sit back and relax while their car‟s computer takes the wheel!

Although completely driverless cars won‟t be on the market for several years, the technology behind them is already appearing in phases. Two examples are the Active Lane Keeping Assist option for Mercedes-Benz cars and Ford‟s Traffic Jam Assist. In the first option, the system warns the driver whenever the car crosses lane markings by causing the steering wheel to vibrate（振动）. In the second option, the system helps the car keep pace with other cars while remaining in its current lane. The system is being developed to help relieve blocking on busy roads. Several carmakers claim that they‟ll produce driverless cars within the next decade. But critics aren‟t so sure, warning that a completely driverless car must be able to make split-second decisions in even the most complex traffic situations. In addition, the car‟s computer must become smart enough to know when to ask the driver to intervene (介入，干涉) to prevent an accident. Full government approval won‟t happen until driverless cars are proven safe. In the meantime, expect to see carmakers offer ever-smarter features on their new models.

A French woman who had the world‟s first partial face transplant has spoken of her amazement at seeing her new appearance, the Daily Mail newspaper said on Saturday. The 38-year-old woman experienced the operation to give her a new nose, chin and mouth at a hospital in the northern French city of Amiens last month. “When I looked at my new face, I knew straight away that it was me,” the paper quoted the woman, who was damaged after her dog injured her badly. “It was simply amazing to see a nose and mouth on my face.” The woman, who is recovering in a hospital in Lyon, told the paper that the dog attack had left her so damaged that she had been forced to wear a mask. People in the street would move back from her in horror, she said, and even one of her own two daughters found her appearance unbearable. “Old people were the worst, they used to stop and stare at me all the time,” she said. “My elder daughter Lucie just didn‟t want to see me – I had to wear a mask. If I didn‟t she refused to see me.”

The paper said the woman now wanted to live a normal life but was worried about what reaction there might be when she leaves the hospital. Questions:
