26、appi, who is a campus brand representative for Square. Companies are _53_ using college campus brand representatives to spread the word about their products. These representatives often rely on word-of-mouth tools like social media to _54_ the company and any promotional events they host.Though the
27、brand representative is no stranger to the college marketing scene, social media are changing how these representatives _55_ with students of their same age and how effectively their message is communicated. Companies like Red Bull, Microsoft and Twitter all have campus representatives _56_ to sprea
28、ding good news about the brand.“Campus representatives approach students groups, local merchants and other prospective users to demonstrate how the card reader works and its advantages over _57_ machines.” Adam Bassett, who runs the Square U program said.Cord Silverstein, executive vice president of

Reading ComprehensionSection AIn India, almost all marriages are arranged. Even among the educated middle classes in modern urban India, marria
32、ge is as much a concern of the families as it is of the _62_. So customary is the practice of arranged marriage that there is a special name for a marriage which is not _63_: It is called a “love match”.On my first trip to India, I met many young men and women whose parents were in the process of “g
33、etting them married”. In many cases, the bride and groom would not meet each other before the marriage. _64_ they might meet for a brief conversation, and this meeting would take place only after their parents had decided that the match was _65_. Parents do not force their children to marry a person
34、 who either marriage partner finds unacceptable. But only after one match is refused will another be sought.As a young American woman in India for the first time, I found this custom of arranged marriage _66_. How could any intelligent young person _67_ to such a marriage without great reluctance? I
35、t was _68_ to everything I believed about the importance of romantic love as the only basis of a happy marriage. It was also in conflict with my strongly held beliefs that the choice of such a close and permanent relationship could be made only by individuals _69_. If anyone had tried to arrange my
36、marriage, I would have been _70_!Sita, one of my young friends, was a college graduate with a degree in political science. She had been _71_ for over a year while her parents were arranging a match for her. I found it difficult to accept the obedient（顺从的） manner in which this well-educated young wom
37、an awaited the outcome of a process that would _72_ her spending the rest of her life with a man she hardly knew, a total stranger, _73_ by her parents.In frustration and distress, I asked her, “Dont you care who you _74_?” “Of course I care,” she answered. “This is why I must let my parents choose
38、a boy for me. My marriage is too important to be arranged by such a(n) _75_ person as myself. In such matters, it is better to have my parents _76_”. 62.A. classesB. individualsC. society D. country63. A. matchedB. decidedC. concernedD. arranged64. A. After allB. In additionC. At mostD.

41、) Yo-Yo Ma is one of the most gifted cellists (大提琴手) in the world today. He is known internationally for not only the many classical pieces he performs but also his willingness to think outside of the box musically.Yo-Yo Ma has recorded over 75 albums; many of them strictly considered classical in a
42、rrangement, while others differ greatly from classical music. Hes worked with musicians like Bobby Mcferrin and Sting, and explored musical forms that range from traditional Chinese music to bluegrass. His musical explorations, including the scoring or performance in numerous films, have won Ma many
43、 awards and honors.Born to Chinese immigrant parents in Paris in 1955, Yo-Yo Ma was already a gifted musician by the time his family moved to the U.S., when he was seven. One of his first performances where he was much noted was a 1962 performance for U.S. President John F. Kennedy. Ma was certainly
44、 a genius, appearing on television by the time he was eight and performing with numerous orchestras through his teens.Like many young extraordinary musicians, Yo-Yo Mas educational path included the study at the distinguished Juilliard School of Music. Unlike geniuses that stay on a singular path, M
45、a felt that he wanted to expand his education by taking a traditional liberal arts course at first Columbia and then Harvard University, where he received his bachelors degree in 1976. He wasnt always certain that he should continue to pursue his career as a cellist, and refers to hearing the work o
46、f Pablo Casals, the famous Spanish cellist, as inspiration to continue his studies and performance.By the early 1980s, Yo-Yo Ma had become internationally known. He also began to express considerable interest in the possibilities of musical education for children. To that end, he made appearances on
47、 Sesame Street and other shows targeted at children.In 1998, Ma started the Silk Road Project, which promotes cooperation among artists, including musicians from around the world. His devotion to bringing together the various cultures represented by the ancient Silk Road is expressed in Mas politica
48、l attitude of peace through music. In 2006, the UN Secretary General Kofi Anan named Ma a Peace Ambassador. 77. Which of the following statements is TRUE about Yo-Yo Ma?A. He has explored a wide range of musical forms.B. He wasnt well-known in the U.S. until the 1980s.C. He is famous only for the cl
49、assical pieces he performs.D. He was determined to become a cellist since childhood.78. Whose work has had an influence on Ma in deciding to pursue a career as a cellist?A. Bobby McFerrins.B. Kofi Anans. C. Pablo Casals.D. Stings.79. Through the Silk Road Project, Yo-Yo Ma intended to _.A. continue
50、his studies while performing with musicians all around the worldB. bring together many different cultures represented by the ancient Silk RoadC. become a UN Peace Ambassador by expressing his political attitude of peaceD. promote musical education for children in the countries along the ancient Silk

In the activity “Morning Walk at Mitchell Park”, one may have no chance to _.A. appreciate bird watchingB. enjoy mountain climbingC. take a relaxing walkD. have morning tea( C )ESP, Extra Sensory Perception, is a catch-all expres
59、sion for the so-called ability of certain people to receive transmitted thoughts from others, to transmit their own thoughts, to see what will happen in the future or to be able to move objects from one place to another without physically touching them. These special people are called psychics. Some
60、 believe that we all have this ability to some degree but that most of us choose not to develop it.Many people are skeptical about ESP. Alongside the existence of documented evidence, there are plenty of claims that have turned out to be cheating. For most people, it is difficult to accept such clai
61、ms without having had first hand experience. The lack of scientific evidence is another factor to take into account. On the other hand, most of us have, at some time, experienced a seemingly unexplainable occurrence; hearing the telephone ring and knowing who will be on the other end of the line or
62、cases of coincidence that seem to be too extreme to be accidental.Over the years there have been numerous ESP experiments conducted by serious scientists in serious institutions. Joseph Banks Rhine, a botanist at Duke University published a famous book in 1934 called “Extra-Sensory Perception” in wh
63、ich he claimed to have enormous evidence of ESP. However, other scientists have been unable to copy his results since, which has resulted in the book losing much of its original credibility and fame.The Ganzfield Experiments are considered to have been the most carefully examined ESP experiments. So
64、-called psychics had their eyes covered and ears blocked while a “sender” attempted to transmit messages. Later the psychics would compare the messages received to the original messages sent out. There was a great deal of excitement and interest at the time, but the research failed to produce convin
65、cing results.One of the strongest criticisms against ESP is that in order for it to exist, the fundamental laws of physics would necessarily have to be broken.Human beings are attracted to the whole range of supernatural phenomena. ESP will always continue to fascinate. This becomes clear when we se
66、e how much of the media is dedicated to the topic: magazines, journals, web sites, television and radio programs. Some of the most successful films in recent years have fuelled interest among the younger generations who are starting to ask the same questions and to look for explanations for the same
67、 phenomena as their parents and grandparents before them. Who knows? One day we might just find these answers because one thing is certain: “The truth is out there! ”85. According to the 1st paragraph, a psychic can do the following EXCEPT _.A. read what his parents are thinking aboutB. transmit one
68、 friends thought to anotherC. predict whatll happen at tomorrows meetingD. change the position of a chair without touching it86. The underlined word “skeptical” in the second paragraph can be replaced with _.A. enthusiasticB. doubtfulC. particularD. curious87. What can be learned about the book “Ext
69、raSensory Perception” and “the Ganzfield Experiments”?A. They both failed to prove the existence of ESP scientifically.B. They were both the products of casually-designed research.C. Others followed their examples and got the same consequences.D. The writer and the experiment operators lost their fa

82、mm, why dont we get take-out?Q: What does the man suggest?Section BQuestions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.Good evening! Now, I know many of you are excited about the idea of getting paid to travel the world and see the sights. But remember, traveling isnt all fun and games. It is
83、 hard work too. I remember when I was in Egypt to look at the pyramids. Now, of course they are fascinating they are over 4,000 years old but remember, Egypt is mostly desert and the temperature is often over forty-five degrees! So, the weather can be a problem.And several years later, I was traveli
84、ng down the Yangtze River in China with some photographers, and we constantly had engine trouble with our boat, so we couldnt steer along the 6380-kilometer river. Instead, we had to abandon our journey after just 2150, which was a major disappointment.The last journey I want to tell you about was t
85、he most rewarding. We went to Angel Falls, the tallest waterfall in the world. We backpacked for seventeen days through the jungles of Venezuela to get there. But when they finally came into view, with their breathtaking drop of 807 meters, it was incredible! So, remember, being a travel writer may
86、sound like an amazing career, and it is certainly rewarding, but you have to be prepared for every possibility! 11. What forced the speaker to stop his journey down the Yangtze River?12.What does the speaker think of his job?13.What might be the speakers career?Questions 14 through 16 are based on t
87、he following passage. What is the purpose of learning history? Whats the best way to teach it? Recently educators are rethinking their approach to history education. One new view is that it should be taught from the present backwards, keeping in mind the question, “Why is it like this today?” Let me
88、 give you an example. The traditional approach to teaching the history of business, of corporation, always begins with the history of the Industrial Revolution, and proceeds slowly through all the government action over three hundred years to the present. Critics say that method, making students onl
89、y memorize names, places, and dates about the Industrial Revolution is a waste. Instead, its more effective for learners to begin with a present-day question, like, “Why is the economy so bad these days?” and then go back to examine the history of business to find the answer. In other words, beginni
90、ng with the question about the present is more effective than rote memorization because it demonstrates a cause-and-effect approach to the study of history. And when students begin to see history as a cause-and-effect relationship, they can understand why the study of history is important.14. Why do
91、 critics regard only memorizing historical facts as a waste of time?15. How can students see history as a “cause-and-effect” relationship?16. What is the main point of this talk?Section CBlanks 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation. W: Planet Travel. Julie speaking.M: Oh, er, hi. Thi
92、s is Peter Tan, I have an account with W: Oh, hi, Mr. Tan. How can I help you?M: Well, Id like to make a round-trip reservation to the United Kingdom.W: Sure. Business class?M: That would be nice, but, no, not this trip.W: OK. Round trip. Economy.M: Uh-huh. I need to be in London on the 20th.W: OK.
93、Let me just take this down. May 20th, London. OK. How about coming back?M: Is the 28th OK?W: Yeah, no problem. Oh wait, theres only business class left on the flight. Is that OK?M: Yeah, itll have to be.W: OK, Ill just confirm these details and fax you the schedule.M: Thanks.Blanks 21 through 24 are
94、 based on the following conversation. M: Hello?W: Hello, Carl? Its Kate Taggart here. M: Kate! How have you been?W: Great. Actually, Ive just been offered a job as news announcer at KGN and I wanted to ask you a few questions.M: Thats wonderful. What do you want to know?W: Well, whats it like to be
95、a news announcer at a big station like that?M: Wellyou know, there are good points and bad points. Announcers are very well paidW: Yeah, the salary is a lot higher. But tell me some of the bad points.M: Hmm. Well, stress is one. Being an announcer is a really high-stress job.W: And I guess the worki
96、ng hours are pretty longM: Thats for sure. But, youd get to travel a lot. I know you love to travel. W: I sure do. And also Id get to interview some pretty important people. That would definitely be a plus.M: Yeah, it would. One other thing, as an announcer, you just have to be very confident and aggressive. The competition is tough. Everyone will be competing with you to get your job.W: Hmm. Well, thanks, Carl! You helped me a lot.
