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.
As we all know, Chinese handwriting has infinite power to express differences of character and cultivation. But we have to admit that traditional handwriting has become a __50__ art, now that kids start using keyboards as soon as they begin school. However, writing things out by hand may be a __51__ way we train our brains, several studies suggest. Many psychologists think that handwriting can make you __52__!
Writing by hand is different from __53__ because it requires using strokes to create a letter, __54__ just selecting the whole letter by touching a key, says Virginia Berninger, a professor of psychology at the University of Washington. These __55__ movements activate large regions of the brain __56__ in thinking, memory, and language. Handwriting helps children learn letters and shapes, improves their composition of ideas, and may also __57__ fine-motor skills development.
A study by Berninger found that in grades two, four, and six, children wrote more words, faster, and expressed more __58__ when writing essays by hand than when typing on a keyboard.
A separate study by researchers at Indiana University found that children who practiced printing by hand had more active__59__than kids who __60__ looked at letters.
It’s not just children who __61__ from writing things out by hand, says a study in the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience. Adults learning a new language remember its __62__ better if they write them out by hand than if they produce them with a keyboard.

Section B
Directions: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, and C. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A)
John and Bobby joined a wholesale company together just after graduation from college the same year. Both worked very hard. After several years, however, the boss promoted Bobby to the position of manager but John remained an ordinary employee. John could not take it any more, tendered his resignation to the boss and complained the boss did not know how to delegate and did not value hard-working staff, but only promoted those who flattered him.
The boss knew that John worked very hard for the years. He thought a moment and said,
“Thank you for your criticism, but I have a request. I hope you will do one more thing for our company before you leave. Perhaps you will change your decision and take back your resignation.”
John agreed. The boss asked him to go and find out anyone selling watermelon in the market. John went and returned soon. He said he had found out a man selling watermelon. The boss asked how much per kg. John shook his head and went back to the market to ask and returned to inform the boss $1.2 per kg.
Boss told John to wait a second, and he called Bobby to come to his office. He asked Bobby to go and find anyone selling watermelon in the market. Bobby went, returned and said, “Boss, only one person selling watermelon. $1.2 per kg, $10 for 10kg, he has inventory (清单) of 340 melons. On the table 58 melons, bought from the South two days ago, they are fresh and red, good quality.”
John was very impressed and realized the difference between himself and Bobby. He decided not to resign but to learn from Bobby.
Chances exist in the daily details. For the same matter, a more successful person sees more and farther so that he can find out an opportunity and catch it to realize his aim. If a person sees one year ahead, while another sees only tomorrow. Then the difference between a year and a day is 365 times!
65. Why did John decide to hand in his resignation to the boss?
A. Because he couldn’t stand being an ordinary employee.
B. Because Bobby would take John’s former position.
C. Because the boss was not flattered by his hard work.
D. Because Bobby instead of him was promoted.
66. What did the boss ask John to do?
A. To go to market and find out whether there is someone selling watermelons.
B. T o make a complete mar keting research on the various prices of watermelons.
C. To search for much information about the effective ways to sell watermelons.
D. To make a comparison on the prices of different types of watermelons.
67. What sort of following information about watermelons was NOT brought by Bobby?
A. The price. B. The quality.
C. The quantity. D. The weight.

A. alert, sensitive and passionate
B. observant, thoughtful and exploratory
C. considerate, modest and satisfied
D. confident, noble and tolerant (B)
The following is a recent survey among teenagers:
Radio
Most teenagers nowadays are not regular listeners to radio. They may occasionally tune in, but they do not try to listen to a program specifically. The main reason teenagers listen to the radio is for music, but now with online sites streaming music for free they do not bother, and users can choose the songs they want instead of listening to what the radio presenter/DJ chooses.
Television
Most teenagers watch television, but usually there are points in the year where they watch more than average. This is due to programs coming on in seasons, so they will watch a particular show at a certain time (as long as it lasts) but then they may watch no television for weeks.
Teenagers are also watching less television because of services such as BBC iPlayer, which allows them to watch shows when they want. Whilst watching TV, adverts come on quite regularly (18 minutes of every hour) and teenagers do not want to watch these, so they switch to another channel, or do something else whilst the adverts run.
Newspapers
No teenager that I know of regularly reads a newspaper, as most do not have the time and cannot be bothered to read pages and pages of text while they could watch the news
summarized on the Internet or on TV.
Internet
Every teenager has some access to the Internet, be it at school or home. Home use is mainly used for fun (such as social networking) whilst school (or library) use is for work. Most teenagers are heavily active on a combination of social networking sites. Facebook is the most common, with nearly everyone with an Internet connection registered and visiting >4 times a week. Facebook is popular as one can interact with friends on a wide scale.
For searching the web, Google is the dominant figure, simply because it is well known and easy to use. Some teenagers make purchases on the Internet (on sites like eBay) but this is only used by a small percentage, as a credit card is required and most teenagers do not have credit cards. Many teenagers use YouTube to watch videos (usually anime which cannot be watched anywhere else) and some use it as a music player by having a video with the music they want to listen to playing in the background.
Mobile Phones
99pc of teenagers have a mobile phone and most are q uite capable phones. Usually, teenagers only use their phones for texting, calling. Features such as video messaging or video calling are not used—because they are expensive.
Services such as instant messaging are used, but not by everyone. It usually depends whether the phone is Wi-Fi compatible, because otherwise it is very expensive to get Internet off the phone network. As most teenagers’ phones have Bluetooth support, and Bluetooth is free, they utilize this feature often.
Mobile email is not used as teenagers have no need; they do not need to be connected to their inbox all the time as they don’t receive important emails.
69. The survey carried out recently is mainly concerned with ______.
A. how teenagers consume media
B. what electric devices teenagers favor
C. which new trend teenagers are following
D. how teenagers contact others and make their social net
70. As is mentioned in the survey, the reason why teenagers watch less TV mainly lies in that ______.
A. teenagers do not watch regular programs
B. all the TV programs are on for only a few weeks
C. teenagers may turn to other devices to watch their favorite
D. the TV adverts coming on every channel are just the same
71. Which of the following is TRUE according to the survey?
A. Radio presenter or DJ used to invite the listeners to choose the songs they want.
B. The main source for teenagers to get news is Internet as well as newspapers.
C. Google is the most common social networking sites due to its convenience.
D. Some features of modern mobile phones are not widely used by teenagers. (C)
The definition of the standard kilogram is almost entirely wrong. Getting that definition right is a challenge that has tried the patience and intelligence of scientists for decades.
Scientists use just seven basic units to define all the other quantities we use — quantities such as speed or electric power. All of those basic units except the kilogram are themselves defined according to natural properties（属性）that are beyond human control.
For example, the standard second (time) is defined as a specific number of vibration（振动）of a type of radiation sent out by atom s of a special metal. The standard metre (length), in turn, is defined as the length of the path light travels under certain conditions.
Not so the kilogram. This orphan of the basic unit family is simply the mass of a small platinum-iridium alloy cylinder（铂—铱合金筒）locked away in a container maintained by the International Bureau of Weights & Measures in Sevres, France, near Paris. Official bodies around the world have copies of the cylinder.
Embarrassingly, the last time the copies were brought to Sevres for a checkup in the 1980s, officials found that some copies had gained about 20 parts per billion in weight compared to the master cylinder since the previous checkup in the 1940s. This implies
that the master cylinder itself may be an inconstant standard.
Several efforts in several different countries are under way to redefine the kilogram according to basic physical q uantities such as counting the actual number of atoms of a specific substance in a kilogram or the electromagnetic（电磁的）force that balances a kilogram mass against gravity. A project of the latter type at the laboratories in Gaithersburg, Md., hopes eventually to define mass by means of electrical units.
So far, none of these redefinition projects has borne fruit. They require the very accuracy of measurement and control of experimental conditions. The slightest influence — even a tiny change in weather — can ruin results. You’ve got to hand it to scientists who are willing to devote many years to such painstaking — but extremely important — research.
72. Compared with other basic units, the kilogram is ____.
A. as accurate as other basic units
B. not universally accepted in the world
C. not defined accord ing to natural properties
D. defined in the same way as other basic units 73. The author introduced the examination of copies of a platinum-iridium alloy cylinder in the 1980s to indicate that ____.
A. the causes of weight changes had been found
B. such kind of checks had been carried out regularly
C. the changes in weight challenged the definition of the kilogram
D. the consequences of such changes were great in research
74. According to the passage, to define the weight of mass by means of electrical units ____.
A. is the only way to redefine the kilogram scientifically
B. has been accepted as the only possible redefinition project
C. is not as complicated as people understand
D. has been considered by some scientists as a better approach
75. Which of the following cannot be concluded from the passage?
A. Scientists will achieve success in redefining the kilogram in the near future
B. Some scientists are trying to redefine the kilogram according to basic physical quantities.
C. The redefining of the standard kilogram is quite complicated and can be affected by a number of factors.
D. A number of experiments are being carried out to redefine the kilogram.
Section C
Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.
A. Leave others a deep impression
B. Be a pleasant listener
C. Pay attention to your wearing
D. Get enough background information
E. Make full self-preparation
F. Apply appropriate postures
Interviewing is a skill that can be learned and the key lies in the “three-Ps” of planning, practice and preparation. Here are some tips on making a successful interview. 76.
Prepare as well as you possibly can, search the web and research the background of the company and the people who you think are going to be interviewing you. Learn exactly what it is they do and exactly how you would fit in with the company. Most importantly
try to understand the “culture” of the company. You need to communicate in a way that mirrors their company standards; this will show you can fit in that organization. Understand a little of what their competito rs are doing. This will show you’ve bothered to find out where their position in the market is. 77.
Just as important is your own personal preparation. Think about the key things you want to communicate and why you would be ideal for the job. Think about you can sound enthusiastic, without sounding desperate; how you can sell yourself. If they ask you a question, such as “tell me about your CV”, and you can’t do it fluently, you will find the interviewers will lose interest and you won’t get the job. 78.
During the interview, be a very good listener and if you can find some common ground with your interviewers, you will have a big advantage over your competitors. The interview is basically an interaction between two people, so how you come across as a person is of upmost importance. As soon as you enter the company building, make sure everyone you meet is left with the impression that you are a pleasant person. Sometimes an interview question might seem very simple but, don’t be deceived, there is always a reason for them asking that question. 79.
Generally wear a suit and tie, but it does depend on the job you are going for. You should have discovered, when you studied the company culture, what is expected. For media companies, for example, being smart but casual might be the style they want. They are looking for someone who is comfortable with himself or herself. In this case you should dress for who you are. 80.
It is natural if you are nervous, in fact it is a good sign; it shows you are taking the interview seriously. However try to avoid nervous mannerisms, such as tapping your foot or playing with your hair. Positive body language is important, so adopt a good posture. If you slouch in your chair the interviewer will think you could be sloppy in your work as well. Positivity is esse ntial in all aspects of your interview.
Section D
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
There’s worrying news for any parent who’s struggled with a headstrong young child. Some scientists recently claim that children who have low levels of self-control, which is the earliest demands that society places on children, at the age of three are more likely to have health and money problems and a criminal record by the age of 32, regardless of background and IQ. That is to say, willpower as a child really does influence your chances of a healthy and wealthy adulthood.
They found that children with low self-control were more likely to have health problems in later life including high blood pressure, being overweight, breathing problems and sexually transmitted infections. They were also more addicted to substances such as tobacco, alcohol and drugs, more likely to be single parents, have difficulty managing money and have criminal records.
Researchers from Britain, the US and New Zealand analyzed data from two large studies in which children completed a range of physical tests and interviews to assess genetic and environmental factors that can shape their lives.
The participants’ self-control was assessed by teachers, parents, observers and the children themselves and included things like having low frustration tolerance, lacking persistence in reaching goals, being over-active and acting before thinking.
Researchers then found that when the participants reached their early 30s, this impulsivity and relative inability to think about the long-term gave them more problems with finances, including savings, owning a home and credit card debt.
The findings were published in the Proc eedings of the National Academy of Sciences journal.
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.)
81. What are the findings of a recent research according to the passage?
____________________________________________________
82. The phrase “more addicted to” (Line 3, Para. 2) probably means “_____________________”.
83. Besides poor anti-frustration ability, over-activeness and fore-acting, children with low self-control may also suffer __________________________.
84. What may primarily cause the financial problems of the children with low self-control in their later years?
____________________________________________________

When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.
Questions 11 and 13 are based on the following passage.
Many people in New York were pleasantly surprised last Monday when money started falling from the sky. The incident took place in the early afternoon when a sudden strong wind caused a company clerk to drop an envelope that contained fifty thousand US dollars in cash. The clerk, a 23-year-old girl, was taking the money from her company to the bank. She was crossing a busy street near a bus station when the wind started to blow her skirt up. She quickly put her hands on her skirt to hold it down, and dropped the envelope she was carrying. The wind blew the money into the air and it started falling all over the street. She picked up all the money she could find, but got back only about $32,400. The clerk’s boss was very considerate about the loss, but he told her to wear trousers to work from then on.
Questions:
11. Why did money fall from the sky in New York one Monday afternoon?
12. Where was the clerk going when the incident happened?
13. How much money was lost in the end?
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following report.
Though it is 50% of everyday communication, listening seems like the least taught skill. Listening is more than hearing: it requires understanding. In an educational setting, listening effectively is important. Effective listening results in doing the right assignment, doing the assignment correctly, and taking notes effectively. Doing these activities will result in, most of the time, good grades. In a professional setting, listening is also essential. When you receive an oral message, your response must be correct. If you fail to listen to customers, you may lose their business, and your job! In a personal setting, listening effectively deepens your relationships. When we listen to someone, we say “You are important.” without ever saying a word. When we fail to listen, not only do we not receive the message, but we send the message that we are just plain dumb.
Questions:
14. What does the speaker think of listening in the educational setting?
15. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
16. What is the main idea of this passage?
Section C
