Section A

Directions:In this section there are four passages followed by question or unfinished statements,each with four

suggested answer A,B,C and D .Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.

Passage One

Five or six years ago,I attended a lecture on the science of attention.A philosopher who conducts research in

the

medical

school

was

talking

about

attention

blindness,the

basic

feature

of

the

human

brain

that,when

we

concentrate intensely on one task,causes us to miss just about everything e we can’t see what we can’t

see,our lecturer was determined to catch us in the had us watch a video of six people tossing basketballs

back and forth ,three in which shirts and three in black,and our lask was to keep track only of the tosses among the

people in tape rolled,and everyone began counting.

Everyone

except

me.I’m

dyslexic,and

the

moment

I

saw

that

grainy

tape

with

the

confusing

bas

ketball

tossers,I

knew

I

wouldn’t

be

able

to

keep

track

of

their

movements,so

I

let

my

mind

curiosity

was

aroused,though,when about 30 seconds into the tape,a gorilla came in among the (we later learned a

female

student

was

in

the

gorilla

suit)

stared

at

the

camera,thumped

her

chest,and

then

strode away

while

they

continued passing the balls.

When

the

tape

stopped,the

philosopher

asked

how

many

people

had

counted

at

least

a

dozen

basketball

went

up

all

then

asked

wh

o

had

counted13,14,and

congratulated

those

who’d

scored

the

he asked,“And who saw the gorilla?”

I raised my hand and was surprised to discover I was the only person at my table and one of only three or four in

the large room to do so .He’d

set us up,Itapping us in our own attention ,there had been a trick ,but

he

wasn’t

the

one

who

had

played

it

on

concentrating

so

hard

on

counting,we

had

managed

to

miss

the

gorilla in the midst.

Passage Two

There are few sadder sights than 8 pile of fan letters ,lovingly decorated with hand drawings,suffering in a

bin,The sparkly envelopes were addressed to Taylor Swift,a pop star much beloved by teenage and pre-teen girls.

“Dear Taylor,”read one discarded message ,”I love you so much !!You are the best!!And you are really

beautiful and cute !! I’m really enjoying your songs.”

4

This along with hundreds of other similor letters sent from around the world,was discovered in a Nashville

recycling disposal unit by a local woman,Swift’s management was quick to reassure her admitery that they had

been thouwn out accidentally . The response may come as a disappointment to any devotee who imagines,as they

compose their letters ,that Swift makes time to view each one personally .

Dealing

with

piles

of

lars

mail

is

,however,an

administrative

burden

for

most

some

celebrities do like to go through their mail personally ,the majority simply do not have time .But the fate of their

correspondence is something most commitred fans will not wish and well on ,says Lynn Zubermis ,an expect in

the psychology of London at West Chester University.

“There’s

this

little

bit

of

every

fan

that

thinks

their

will

be

the

one

that

stands

but

---

it’s

not

an

expectation ,but a hope that theirs will be seen by the

celebrity.”

While the relationship between

the fan and the celebrity may exist only in the mind of the farmer,it’s stems

from

a

sleeply-rooted

human

Passage Three

Facelift(

week on a beach in Thailand? Hip surgery with a side of shopping in

Singapore?

Over

the

last

10

years,

Asia’s

rise

on

the

medical

tourism

scene

has

been

quick.

Eastern

nations

dominate the global scene. Now Bali wants a slice of the action.

The Indonesian island recently opened its first facility specifically targeting medical tourists with packages

and services, Bali international Medical Centre (BIMC) Nusa Dua. BIMC already has an international hospital in

Kuta , which opened in 1998.

The new internationally managed facility offers surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures and dental

care.

Unlike most of the region’s hospitals, BIMC is designed to feel more like a spa or resort(

度

假

村

) than a

medical facility..

The

50-bed

hospital

has

a

24-hour

medical

emergency

entrance

and

hotel-like

lobby

at

the

front

of

the

building servicing the hospital’s medical , and dental centers.

If you’re a celebrity who doesn’t want everyone to know you’re here for a bit of lipo(

吸脂术

)

，

no worries.

There’s a p

rivate entrance that leads to the CosMedic Centre ,which offers views of a golf course.

BIMC

has

even

teamed

up with

the

nearby

Courtyard

by

Marriott

Bali,

which provides

specific

after-care

services like tailor-made meals and wellness programs for patients.

Latest technology and cool interiors are a start, but breaking into a regional industry that already has some of

the

worlds

top

international

hospitals

will

be

tough,

says

Josef-Woodman,

CEO

of

U.S.-based

consumer guide Patients Beyond Borders(PBB).

“As a newcomer,Bali faces stiff competition from nearby international healthcare compete,Bali

will to demonstrate a quality level of care and promote its services to the region and the world .On the positive

D.

The world population is becoming older and richer.

Passage Four

For many of us, asking for help is it difficult concept. We may feel as if we are admitting a weakness that the

world would not have known about, had we not asked for help.

Ironically, it’s been my experience that people who are able to deliver well

-positioned requests for help are

seen

as

very

strong

individuals.

When

they

demonstrate

the

humility

(

谦

卑

)to

ask

for

help,

they

carn

the

respect of others. People who receive a heartfelt request for help are usually honored by the request. In turn we are

strengthened by the very help that is provided.

One of my clients (we’ll call her Kira) recently made a shift in how she wa

s interacting with her boss. When

asked to prepare presentations, she assumed that she was expected to go away, develop the content , deliver it at

the required meeting and then wait for feedback from her boss. Her boss was highly regarded for the impact of his

presentations, while

Kira often felt that her presentations were lacking. When she took a hard look at how this

approach was working for her. Kira recognized that she had not yet made use of her boss’s support. She could

learn far more about creating attractive presentations by walking through a draft with her boss

—

focusing on the

content plus her delivery

—

and obtaining feedback earlier in the process rather than at the back end .So she made

the request for his support.

The outcome? Her boss was delighted to coach Kira and was enthusiastic about the opportunity to put into

use his own strength by teaching presentation skills more effectively to her. By taking the time to work together

on preparation for a number of Kira’s key presentations, she benefited from her boss’s thought process and was

able to distinguish the critical compoments to enhance her own presentations. Kira’s presentations now have punch!

Some

of

us

are

uncomfortable

asking

for

help

because

we

believe

that

our

request

places

burdens

on

the

other person. Ironically, we may be missing an opportunity to show others how we value and respect them. People

who know you and think well of you are often highly motivated to help. Furthermore, the more specific you can

be about what you need from them, the easier it is for them to assist you.

36.

Many people are unwilling to ask for help because they

A. are confident of themselves

C. are ashamed of doing so

B. do not trust other people

D. do not think it necessary

37.

Which of the following may the author agree with?

A .Asking for help means admitting weaknesses.

B.

Helping others is helping oneself.

C.

Well- positioned requests for help are welcomed.

D.

Weak people often need more help.

7

38 .Kira’s request for

help

A. turned out rewarding

C. led to her promotion

B. was turned down

C. benefited her boss in return

39.

“Kirs’s presentations now have punch”means her presentations

are

A. Forceful

C. well received

40.

The purpose of the passage is to

B. Controversial

D. highly motivating

B. show the importance of mutual help

D. encourage people to ask for help

A. illustrate how to ask for help

C. call for attention to

others’

requests

Section B

Directions:

In

and

comments

it.

The

blog

and

comments are followed by

questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers A,B,C and D.

Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.

A fascinating n

ew study reveals that Americans are more likely to call their children “intelligent”. while

European parents focus on happiness and balance.

Here’s

what

one

parent

had

to

say

about

the

intelligence

of her

3

-year

–

old,

which

was

apparent

to

her

from the very first moments of her life.

“I have this vivid memory, when she was born of them taking her to clean her off. And she was looking all

around. She was alert from the very first second. I look her out when she was six weeks old to a shopping mall to

have

her picture taken people would stop me and say:“What an alert baby.”One guy stopped me and said,“Lady,

she was on intelligent baby.”

Not only are Americans far more likely to focus on their children’s intelligence and cognative skills, they

are also far l

ess likely to describe them as “happy” or “easy” children to parent.

“The

U.S.

unhealthy

interest

in

cognitive

development

in

the

early

years

overlooks

so

much

else”

the

researchers told us.

Comment1:

Probably

indicates

more

about

difference

in

cultural

attitudes

towards

humility

and

boasting

than

about

parenting styles. Here in the Netherlands if someone called their child “intelligent” I’d be rolling my eyes, both

because it’s probably biased and overstated and because it’s just a rotten thing to draw attention to, as if it’s all

about whose child is “better”. Life isn’t than much of a damn contest to us.

Comment2:

Agreed! That would apply in Sweden too. Parenting is more focused on the child’s well

-being than social

competition (there may be pressures here too, but it is not socially acceptable to express those things).

Comment3:

I agree and I live in the U.S. Parents’ opinions

of their children’s intellect are

definitely

biased and

overstated. It is the most annoying thing to listen to. Beijing

“advanced”

at a young age has little if anything to do

8

with their ability to learn as they get older and EVERY child is a genius if you give them a chance and an ear to

listen to them. The happier the kid is, the smarter they will be. Happy and healthy is key.

41.

The passage is mainly concerned with cultural differences in

A. bringing up

one’s

children

C. social contest

B. describing one’s

children

D. choosing a place to live in

”

42.

The word “alert” (para.3) is closest in

meaning

to“

A. intelligent

C. quick at noticing things

A. boasting

C. encouraging

44.

What nationality is the writer of Comment2?

B. easy-going

D. happy

B. acceptable

D. reasonable

B. American

D. French

43.

According to Comment1,in ten Netherlands, calling one’s own child “intelligent”

is

A. Dutch

C. Swedish

A.

it agrees with all the other comments

B.

being happy and healthy is important

C.

being intelligent at a young makes no sense

45.

All of the following are true of

Comment 3

EXCEPT that

D.

children’s intellect varies from person to person
