Grammar and VocabularySection A Directions: Read the following passage. For some blanks, there is a word given in the brackets. Fill in each of thes
15、e blanks with the proper form of the given word. Fill in the other blanks with words that are correct in structure and proper in meaning. (A)One day, when I was working as a psychologist in England, an adolescent boy showed up in my office. It was David. He kept 25 (walk) up and down restlessly, his
16、 face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had referred him to me. “This boy has lost his family,” he wrote. “He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, 26 Im very worried about him. Can you help?”I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him?
17、There are problems psychology doesnt have the answer 27 , and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympatheticallyThe first two times we met, David didnt say a word. He sat there, only 28 (look) up to look at the childrens drawings on the wall behi
18、nd me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoonin complete silence and without looking at me. Its not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.Usually, he arrived 29 than agreed, took the chess board a
19、nd pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me?“Perhaps he simply needs someone 30 (share) his pain with,” I thought. “Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.” Some months later
20、, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly.“ 31 s your turn,” he said.After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. Now he had really
21、started to live his own life.Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that onewithout any wordscan reach out to 32 person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens (B)Some years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity. I would return
22、 from school and 33 (spend) the expected half hour recording the days events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary. I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever 34 (record) on paper. After all, isnt
23、accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, 35 (well-equip) with pens, a diary, and a camera. During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across. I felt proud to be spending my t
24、ime 36 (productive), dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels. On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand. The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows.
25、I automatically took out my pen.At that point, I understood that nothing I 37 (write) could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley. All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I 38 (set) down in my diary.No
26、w, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling. I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful. I take pictures, but not very oftenonly of objects 39 I find really beautiful. Im no longer blind
27、ly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old. I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy 40 (preserve) the present so as to live it in the future.I dont want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes. Maybe I wont have as
28、 many exact representations of people and places; maybe Ill forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me. I dont live to make memoriesI just live, and the memories form themselves.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Ea

30、s sentenced to life in prison for killing a 9-year-old girl has sparked discussions on juvenile delinquency (少年犯罪) in China.The defendant, surnamed Lyu, 41 the victim in December 2012, molested (骚扰) her, and beat her to death, according to a statement released by the 42 Peoples Court in the city of
31、Xinzhou in North Chinas Shanxi province on Saturday. The court said the crimes committed were so horrible that no mitigation (减轻) was offered.The case was just one more in a series of similar cases committed by 43 .Back in February of this year, the son of a famous Chinese singer was detained in Bei
32、jing along with four others for their alleged involvement in a gang rape. Beijing police refused to disclose the name of the 44 minor, but police insiders who requested anonymity said he is the son of Li Shuangjiang, dean of the music department of the Peoples Liberation Army Academy of Arts.In Apri
33、l, a 12-year-old boy killed a 76-year-old woman in Guiping City in south Chinas Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The boy, who is currently in custody, 45 to police that he never wanted to kill the woman, and that he only wanted to steal money from her.Many have expressed concern on the Internet abo
34、ut the 46 conditions of Chinas underage population, wondering what 47 these little “flowers of the motherland” into “carnivorous plants” in a country 48 for a harmonious society. These cases are not rare, said Xia Xueluan, professor with the Department of Sociology at Peking University, adding that
35、juvenile crimes in China, which have decreased in recent years, are still large in number.From 2002 to 2011, the rate of recidivism of Chinas juvenile offenders 49 at 1 percent to 2 percent, according to a white paper on judicial reform published in October of last year, which also reported drops in
36、 juvenile delinquency cases and the 50 of juvenile offenders among the total criminal population.However, Chinas juvenile offender number is still high, standing at around 67,000 in 2011, according to the white paper.“The national average rate of juvenile delinquency mayhave fallen, but in many part
37、s of the country, youth crimes are still on the rise,” Xia said.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Filling in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. I used to believe in
38、the American Dream, which meant a job, a mortgage, credit cards, success. I wanted it and worked toward it like everyone else, all of us 51 chasing the same thing.One year, through a series of unhappy events, it all fell 52 . I found myself homeless and alone. I had my truck and $56. I 53 the countr
39、yside for some place I could rent for the 54 possible amount. I came upon a shabby house four miles up a winding mountain road over the Potomac River in West Virginia. It was 55 , full of broken glass and rubbish. I found the owner, rented it, and 56 a corner to camp in.The locals knew nothing about
40、 me, but slowly, they started teaching me the 57 of being a neighbor. They dropped off blankets, candles, and tools, and began sticking around to chat. They started to teach me a belief in a 58 American Dreamnot the one of individual achievement but of neighborliness.What I had believed in, all thos
41、e things I thought were 59 for a civilized life, were nonexistent in this place. 60 on the mountain, my most valuable possessions were my 61 with my neighbors.Four years later, I moved back into 62 . I saw many people were having a really hard time, 63 their jobs and homes. I managed to rent a big e
42、nough house to 64 a handful of people. There are four of us now in the house, but over time Ive had nine people come in and move on to other places. Wed all be in shelters if we hadnt banded together.The American Dream I believe in now is a shared one. Its not so much about what I can get for myself

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 accordi
46、ng to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A)Wugging, or web-use giving, describes the act of giving to charity at no cost to the user. By using E, which is being added to a number of university computers across the UK, students can raise money every time they search, but it won
47、t cost them a penny.Research shows that students are extremely passionate about supporting charity 88% of full time students have used the Internet to give to charity. This figure is high considering this age group is often the least likely to have their own income. 19% of 22 to 24 year olds have sh
48、ort-term debts of more than 5,000. With rising personal debt levels in this age group, due to university tuition fees or personal loans and a lack of long-term savings, traditional methods of donating to charity are often not appealing or possible.Beth Truman, a 21 year old recent university graduat
49、e, has used to donate to her chosen charity, the RSPCA, for two years and has seen the “wugging” grow in popularity with students. “When youre at university you become more socially aware, but its sometimes hard to give to others when you have little money yourself,” says Beth. “Wugging is great for
50、 people in this age group as it allows them to use the technology on a daily basis to give to charity, without costing them a single penny.”Wugging is perfect for people who want to be more socially aware and supportive but dont feel they have the means to do so. Students using the web can raise mon
51、ey for causes they care about without costing them anything in terms of time or money, and charities get a valuable source of funding.E works like any other search engine, allowing users to search for information, news and images but users can decide which of the UKs 170,000 charities they would lik
52、e to support through their clicks. E then makes monthly payments to every registered charity. Launched in June 2005, E is now the eighth largest search engine and one of the busiest charity websites in the UK.66. According to the passage, “wugging” is actually _.A. a student movement B. a charity-re
53、lated actionC. a school organization D. a website67. In the case of charity, _. A. frees students of the financial worriesB. receives much money from studentsC. offers valuable information to studentsD. praises students for their money-raising68. What does Beth Truman think of the “wugging” movement
54、?A. It makes E popular in the UK. B. It becomes easy to do charity because of it.C. It results in students more social awareness. D. It helps students to save money.69. From the passage, we can conclude that _.A. most full time students do charity on the Internet every dayB. E helps students pay for
55、 the college educationC. “wugging” is a win-win idea for both students and charitiesD. E is the most successful search engine in the UK(B)If a diver surfaces too quickly, he may suffer the bends. Nitrogen (氮) dissolved (溶解) in his blood is suddenly liberated by the reduction of pressure. The consequ
56、ence, if the bubbles (气泡) accumulate in a joint, is sharp pain and a bent bodythus the name. If the bubbles form in his lungs or his brain, the consequence can be death.Other air-breathing animals also suffer this decompression (减压) sickness if they surface too fast: whales, for example. And so, lon
57、g ago, did ichthyosaurs (鱼龙). That these ancient sea animals got the bends can be seen from their bones. If bubbles of nitrogen form inside the bone they can cut off its blood supply. This kills the cells in the bone, and consequently weakens it, sometimes to the point of collapse. Fossil (化石) bones
58、 that have caved in on themselves are thus a sign that the animal once had the bends.Bruce Rothschild of the University of Kansas knew all this when he began a study of ichthyosaur bones to find out how widespread the problem was in the past. What he particularly wanted to investigate was how ichthy
59、osaurs adapted to the problem of decompression over the 150 million years. To this end, he and his colleagues traveled the worlds natural-history museums, looking at hundreds of ichthyosaurs from the Triassic period and from the later Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.When he started, he assumed that
60、signs of the bends would be rarer in younger fossils, reflecting their gradual evolution of measures to deal with decompression. Instead, he was astonished to discover the opposite. More than 15% of Jurassic and Cretaceous ichthyosaurs had suffered the bends before they died, but not a single Triass
61、ic specimen (标本) showed evidence of that sort of injury.If ichthyosaurs did evolve an anti-decompression means, they clearly did so quicklyand, most strangely, they lost it afterwards. But that is not what Dr Rothschild thinks happened. He suspects it was evolution in other animals that caused the c
62、hange.Whales that suffer the bends often do so because they have surfaced to escape a predator (捕食动物) such as a large shark. One of the features of Jurassic oceans was an abundance of large sharks and crocodiles, both of which were fond of ichthyosaur lunches. Triassic oceans, by contrast, were merc
63、ifully shark- and crocodile-free. In the Triassic, then, ichthyosaurs were top of the food chain. In the Jurassic and Cretaceous, they were prey (猎物) as well as predatorand often had to make a speedy exit as a result.70. Which of the following is a typical symptom of the bends?A. A twisted body.B. A
64、 gradual decrease in blood supply. C. A sudden release of nitrogen in blood.D. A drop in blood pressure.71. The purpose of Rothschilds study is to see _.A. how often ichthyosaurs caught the bendsB. how ichthyosaurs adapted to decompression C. why ichthyosaurs bent their bodiesD. when ichthyosaurs br
65、oke their bones72. Rothschilds finding stated in Paragraph 4 _. A. confirmed his assumptionB. speeded up his research process C. disagreed with his assumptionD. changed his research objectives73. Rothschild might have concluded that ichthyosaurs _.A. failed to evolve an anti-decompression means B. g
66、radually developed measures against the bends C. died out because of large sharks and crocodiles D. evolved an anti-decompression means but soon lost it(C)Picture a typical MBA lecture theatre twenty years ago. In it the majority of students will have conformed to (符合) the standard model of the time
67、: male, middle class and Western. Walk into a class today, however, and youll get a completely different impression. For a start, you will now see plenty more womenthe University of Pennsylvanias Wharton School, for example, boasts that 40% of its new enrolment is female. You will also see a wide ra
68、nge of ethnic groups and nationals of practically every country.It might be tempting, therefore, to think that the old barriers have been broken down and equal opportunity achieved. But, increasingly, this apparent diversity (多样化) is becoming a mask for a new type of conformity. Behind the differenc
69、es in sex, skin tones and mother tongues, there are common attitudes, expectations and ambitions which risk creating a set of clones among the business leaders of the future.Diversity, it seems, has not helped to address fundamental weaknesses in business leadership. So what can be done to create mo
70、re effective managers of the commercial world? According to Valerie Gauthier, associate dean at HEC Paris, the key lies in the process by which MBA programmes recruit (招聘) their students. At the moment candidates are selected on a fairly narrow set of criteria such as prior (以前的) academic and career
71、 performance, and analytical and problem solving abilities. This is then coupled to a schools picture of what a diverse class should look like, with the result that passport, ethnic origin and sex can all become influencing factors. But schools rarely dig down to find out what really makes an applic
72、ant succeed, to create a class which also contains diversity of attitude and approacharguably the only diversity that, in a business context, really matters.Professor Gauthier believes schools should not just be selecting candidates from traditional sectors such as banking, consultancy and industry.
73、 They should also be seeking individuals who have backgrounds in areas such as political science, the creative arts, history or philosophy, which will allow them to put business decisions into a wider context.Indeed, there does seem to be a demand for the more rounded leaders such diversity might cr
74、eate. A study by Mannaz, a leadership development company, suggests that, while the bully-boy chief executive of old may not have been eradicated (根除) completely, there is a definite shift in emphasis towards less tough styles of managementat least in America and Europe. Perhaps most significant, ac
75、cording to Mannaz, is the increasing interest large companies have in more collaborative (合作的) management models, such as those prevalent (流行的) in Scandinavia, which seek to integrate the hard and soft aspects of leadership and encourage delegated responsibility and accountability.74. What character
76、izes the business school student population of today?A.Greater diversity. C. Exceptional diligence.B.Intellectual maturity. D. Higher ambition.75. What is the authors concern about current business school education?A.It will arouse students unrealistic expectations.B.It will produce business leaders
77、 of a uniform style.C.It focuses on theory rather than on practical skills.D.It stresses competition rather than cooperation.76. What aspect of diversity does Valerie Gauthier think is most important?A.Age and educational background. C. Attitude and approach to business.B.Social and professional exp
78、erience. D. Ethnic origin and gender.77. What does Mannaz say about the current management style?A.It is eradicating the tough aspects of management.B.It encourages male and female executives to work side by side. C.It adopts the bully-boy chief executive model.D.It is shifting towards more collabor
79、ative models.Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. In a family where the roles of men and women are not sharply separated and where many household tasks are shared to a greater or lesser extent, notions of
80、 superiority are hard to maintain. The pattern of sharing in tasks and in decisions makes for equality, and this in turn leads to further sharing. In such a home, the growing boy and girl learn to accept that equality more easily than did their parents and to prepare more fully for participation in
81、a world characterized by cooperation rather than by the “battle of sexes”.If the process goes too far and mans role is regarded as less importantand that has happened in some caseswe are as badly off as before, only in reverse. It is time to reassess the role of the man in the American family. We ar
82、e getting a little tired of “Momism” but we dont want to exchange it for a “neo-Popism”. What we need, rather, is the recognition that bringing up children involves a partnership of equals. There are signs that psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and specialists on the family are becoming
83、more aware of the part men play and that they have decided that women should not receive all the credits nor all the blame. We have almost given up saying that a womans place is in the home. We are beginning, however, to analyze mans place in the home and to insist that he does have a place in it. N
84、or is that place irrelevant to the healthy development of the child.The family is a cooperative enterprise for which it is difficult to lay down rules, because each family needs to work out its own ways for solving its own problems. Excessive authoritarianism has unhappy consequences, whether it wea
85、rs skirts or trousers, and the ideal of equal rights and equal responsibilities is closely linked not only to a healthy democracy, but also to a healthy family.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN THIRTEEN WORDS.)78. Children raised in a family where roles of men an
86、d women are not sharply separated are more likely to_.79. According to the author, the ideal family pattern should have _.80. In a family being aware of the roles men play, women will not _.81.

Guide Writing (Omitted)Sample IAs the saying goes, behind each successful child is a great mother. Nobody can achieve success without parental love and Mothers devotion plays an especia
94、lly critical role in our life. Mothers dedicate almost everything we need, which is a necessary part on our road to great achievements.My mother always gives me a helping hand in both my studies and my life. Since she is a math teacher, whenever I meet with any difficulty in the subject, she is alwa
95、ys patient to give me guidance. On the other hand, she takes care of me in my life like other devoted mothers. Whenever I fall ill she spares no efforts to help me recover from the illnesses. Its impossible for me to grow up and achieve success in my life without my mother.In fact, no matter whether
96、 you are successful or not, mothers always stand behind you and back you up. Everyone knows that mothers love is just like a flowing river, and it keeps running forever, pushing and carrying you forward to your destination of life and work. And what we can do is never to stop halfway. Only in this w
97、ay can we treasure and repay the sacrifice and devotion of our mothers.Sample IIAs the saying goes, behind each successful child is a great mother. Truly, it is the mother who loves her children most in the world.The experience at the beginning of this semester is still fresh in my mind. Faced with
98、the incredible study speed and unimaginable pressure, I was torn by anxiety. My mother who had just experienced a car accident encouraged me to be confident in myself and relaxed to face up to the difficulties in the same way as she was fighting against the suffering, “Come on, baby, be happy! I kno
99、w you can.”Such is my mum, who is neither too strict with me nor expecting too much of me. The only thing she wishes is that I can live a content and delightful life. Mums love eases me of my study burden, and enables me to perform better in my study at the same time. Mums love is the thread that le
100、ads me to the wonderland of happiness. I like to hug my dear mum and say to her loud, “I LOVE YOU.”Listening Comprehension Section A Directions: In Section A, you will hear ten short conversations between two speakers.
