PartI Writing (30minutes)
Directions: Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on
innovation. Your essay should include the importance of innovation and measures to be
taken to encourage are required to write at least 150 words but no more
than 200 words.
【参考范文】
It is universally acknowledged that innovation refers to being creative, unique
and different. In fact, today it is impossibly difficult for us to image a 21st century without
innovation.
We should place a high value on innovation firstly because innovative spirit can
enable an individual to ameliorate himself, so he can be equipped with capacity to see
what others cannot see, be qualified for future career promotion, and be ready for meeting
the forthcoming challenges. What’s more, we ought to attach importance to the role
played by innovation in economic advancement. Put it another way, in this ever-changing
world, innovation to economic growth is what water is to fish. To sum up, if innovation
misses our attention in any possible way, we will suffer a great loss beyond imagination.
In order to encourage innovation, it is wise for us to take some feasible measures. For
example, mass media should greatly publicize the significance of creative spirit and
encourage the public to cultivate awareness of innovation. Besides, those who manage to
innovate should be awarded generous prize. Though there is a long way ahead to go, I
am firmly certain that the shared efforts will be paid off.

众所周知 创新意味着有创造力，独一无二和不同。事实上，今天我们已经很难想想一个
没有创新的21世纪。
我们应该重视创新首先是因为创新精神可以让一个人完善自身，这样他才能具备见他人
所未 见的能力，未来才有资格得到职业生涯的进步，才能做好准备迎接以后的挑战。另外，
我们也应该重视创 新在经济发展方面的作用。在这个多变的时代，创新对于经济增长就像水
对于鱼一样重要。换言之，如果 我们以任何可能的形式无视创新的重要性，我们将遭受非常
巨大的损失。
为了鼓励创新， 应该采取一些且行之有效的措施。例如，大众传媒应该大力宣传创新精
神的重要性，并且鼓励公众养成创 新的意识。此外，对于那些想法设法进行创新的人要给予
丰厚的奖励。虽然还有很长的路要走，但是我坚 信大家共同付出的努力会得到回报。
Part II Listening Comprehension (30 minutes)
Section A Conversation
Conversation 1气候变化和全球经济发展
W: Professor Henderson could you give us a brief overview of what you do, where
you work and your main area of research?
M: Well the Center for Climate Research where I work links the science of climate
change to issues around economics and policy.
Some of our research is to do with the likely impacts of climate change and all of the
associated risks.
W: And how strong is the evidence that climate change is happening that it's really
something we need to be worried about.
M: Well most of the science of climate change particularly that to do with global
warming is simply fact.
But other aspects of the science are less certain or at least more disputed.
And so we're really talking about risk what the economics tells us is that it's probably
cheaper to avoid climate change to avoid the risk than it has to deal with the likely
consequences.
W: So what are we doing? What can we do about it?
M: Well I would argue that we need to develop the science specifically to understand
the likely impacts of climate change in different contexts.
As I said we need to understand the best ways of avoiding climate change and this
will involve a huge transition to low carbon energy systems and the transition is a
tremendous priority.
And for this to happen, we may need action on a global scale from a political
perspective.
We need to understand the terms on which major countries like China and the USA
might sign up to a global agreement because at the moment we don't have that
consensus.
W: Right.
M: And we also need to plan ahead so that we're in a position to deal with the likely
levels of climate change which are already inevitable and even more so to for the levels
that are likely if we don't get those global agreements.

Conversation 2（成功的要素）
W: I have many business English students. When I teach the classroom, we often
end up talking about things like success and what leads to success. And it's interesting
that many of them mention the element of luck.
M: Right.
W: Luck is important to success. But since you've seen that fantastic video on the
TED Talks website by Richard St. John, he doesn't mention luck at all.
M: Well, I'm a firm believer that people can make their own luck. I mean what people
regard as luck, you can actually create, to a degree.
W: Sure. I think a lot of what people consider luck is attributed to how you respond to
the opportunities that come your way.
M: Yes. Very good point.
W: Seizing the opportunities. But was there any point in the video that you thought
was particularly interesting?
M: Yes. Actually there was. Something very impressive to me as many people think
that luck is important and that natural talent is something you must have in order to be
successful. And in the video we saw, the point about getting good at something is not
about having some natural talent. It's all about practice, practice, practice.
W: Definitely yeah. Natural talent helps in some way but at the end of the day you
really do need to work hard and get really really good at what you do.
M: Sure.
W: I thought one interesting thing in the video was the idea of passion being so
important and that people who really love what they do. Of course you're going to want to
work harder and put the time and effort into it. And the funny thing is that if you love what
you do and are really passionate about it and work really hard, the money kind of comes
automatically.

Section B Passage
Passage 1（美国恶魔塔的形成原因以及关于它的印第安传说）
Devil’s Tower, the first national monument in America, could almost be mistaken for
the stump of an enormous tree. Its sheer rock sides sweep up from a broad base until they
cut off abruptly at the flat summit. Rising more than 1,000 feet in the middle of the gently
rolling plains of Wyoming, the massive column of rock, looks as though it was dropped
down into this location from a different time and place.
In a sense, it was, Devil’s Tower is a relic of the past. When the melt rock of the
earth’s core forced its way to the surface to form the throat of a volcano, as the centuries
passed, the rock cooled and hardened, shrinking and cracking into long columns, born in
fire and fury. Devil’s Tower was then shaped by the slow, gentle work of wind and water.
The outer layers of the volcano were worn away until the hard core stood completely
exposed.
It is small wonder that an Indian legend described Devil’s Tower as being formed by
supernatural powers. The legend says that when seven girls were attacked by bears, they
took refuge on top of a small rock, and they appealed to the Rock God for help. The God
caused the rock to grow and to lift the girls far above the ground, while it sides were
scored by the claws of the angry bears. Even today, says the legend, the girls can be seen
above the towering rock. As seven shining stars in the night sky.
What does the Devil’s Tower look like?
A) The stump of a giant tree.
B) A huge piece of rock.
C) The peak of a mountain.
D) A tall chimney.
[答案】[A]
What cause the volcano’s outer layers to wear away?
A) Human activity.
B) Wind and water.
C) Chemical processes.
D) Fire and fury.
[答案】[B]
What does the Indian legend say about the Devil’s Tower?
.A) It is a historical monument.
B) It was built in ancient times.
C) It is Indians’ sacred place for worship.
D) It was created by supernatural powers.
[答案】[D]
12. How did the Rock God help the seven girl in the Indian legend?
A) By sheltering them in a cave.
B) By killing the attacking bears.
C) By lifting them well above the ground.
D) By taking them to the top of a mountain.
[答案】[C]
Passage 2（如何科学理财）
It’s no accident that most gas stations have convenience stores attached. Few of us
can fill up the tank without buying a few snacks, cigarettes，soft drinks or other items we
can live without. I deserve it. That’s what hard working men and women say to justify their
lavish vacations, big stereo systems or regular restaurant meals. They do deserve such
indulgences. However, they also deserve a home of their own--a secure retirement and
freedom from worrying about unpaid bills. No one should have to live with what a Texas
mother described as constant stress，tension, even fear about money. Sadly the pleasure
that comes from extravagances often disappears long before the bills do. The video
camera that one single mother bought for a special occasion, for example, is not much fun
now. She’s figured out that it will take her another three years to pay it off at $$30 a month.
And the New Yorkers who spent a bundle on an outdoor hot tub now admit they rarely use
it, because we can't afford to heat it in winter. The solution set priorities add up the annual
cost of each item. Then consider what else you can buy with the same money. That will
help you decide which items are really worth it. One Chicago woman, for example,
discovered that daily lunches with coworkers cost her $$2000 a year; she decided to take
lunch to work instead. “I now put $$20 a week into my vacation fund and another 20 into
retirement savings, she says, those mean more to me than lunch”.
Q13. What does the speaker say about drivers who stop at gas stations?
A)They will buy something from the convenience stores.
B) They will take advantage of the time to rest a while.
C) They will have their vehicles washed or serviced.
D) They will pick up some souvenirs or gift items.
[答案】[A]
Q14. What does the speaker say about extravagances?
A) They can bring only temporary pleasures.
B) They are meant for the extremely wealthy.
C) They should be done away with altogether.
D) They may eventually drive one to bankruptcy.
[答案】[A]
Q15. What does a speaker want to show by the example of the Chicago woman?
A) A good way to socialize is to have daily lunch with one’s colleagues.
B) Retirement savings should come first in one’s family budgeting.
C) A vacation will be affordable if one saves 20 dollars a week.
D) Small daily savings can make a big difference in one’s life.
[答案】[D]
Section C -- Recording One
Let’s say you start to brain storm a list of all the emotions you ever experienced. Just
for fun, try it now.
What’s on your list? Chances are, you included things like: happy, sad, excited, angry,
afraid, grateful, proud, scared, confused, stressed, relaxed and amazed. Now sort your list
into two categories: positive emotions and negative emotions.
Feeling both positive and negative emotions is a natural part of being human. We
might use the word “negative” to describe more difficult emotions but it does not mean
those emotions are bad or we shouldn’t have them. Still, most people were probably
rather feel a positive emotion than a negative one. It’s likely you prefer to feel happy
instead of sad or confident instead of insecure.
What matters is how our emotions are balanced. How much of each type of the
emotion positive or negative we experience.
Negative emotions warn us of threats or challenges that we may need to deal with.
For example, fear can alert us to possible danger, it’s a signal that we might need to
protect ourselves. Angry feelings warn us that someone is stepping on our toes, crossing
a boundary or violating our trust. Anger can be a signal that we might have to act on our
own behalf.
