Section A
Directions:

in the blanks to make the passages coherent and
grammatically correct.
For the blanks
with a given word, fill in each blank with the
proper form of the given word; for the other
blanks, use one
word that best fits
each blank.
(A)
A few years ago, Maxine Bedat
looked in her closet. It was full of
clothes, but she had nothing to wear. “That was
(25)______ it was a closet full of fast
fashion based on hyper-trends
(
超时尚
) from one season to the
next,” said Maxine.
“Fast
fashion” means clothes
which are
inexpensive but look like (26)______ (late)
designs from top fashion houses.
One
reason for the success of the fast fashion is the
rise of the social media. A report found that
Millennials (
千禧一代
)
want to wear a variety of clothes in
the photos they post on social media. As a result,
many businesses which offer trendy
and
low-cost clothes grow quickly.
However,
some
Millennials
are
not
happy
with
the
rise
of
fast
fashion.
Maxine
was
tired
of
always
shopping
for
(27)
______ was in style.
Instead, she wanted to buy fewer clothes she could
wear over and over. So Maxine started a “slow
fashion”
clothing
company
called
Zady.
The
clothes
it
sells
often
feature
classic
colo
rs
and
shapes,
and
are
made
from
natural
materials.
The international business
H&M, one of the best-
known fast fashion
brands, has another approach to “slow fashion.” It
has created a recycling program for
clothes, (28)______ invites people to bring
clothes they no longer want to H&M stores.
Shoppers who donate old clothes can
receive (29)______ discount on new things they
buy. After that, H&M does several
things
with
shoppers?
old
clothes.
Some
of
them
are
sold
again.
Some
are
turned
into
other
useful
item
s.
And
the
rest
(30)______(reduce) to fiber
(
纤维制品
) that can be reused as
building materials.
Here (31)______(come) stylish but
sustainable fashion. Are you ready to move over
fast fashion?
(B)
Brad
closed the door slowly as Sue left home to visit
her mother. (32) ______(Expect) a whole day to
relax, he was
thinking whether to read
the newspaper or watch his favourite TV talk show
on his first day off in months. “This will be
(33)______
a walk in the
park,” he?d told his wife. “I?ll look after the
kids, and you can go visit your mom.”
Things started well, but just after
eight o?clock, his three little “good
kids”—
Mike, Randy, and
Alex
—
came down the
stairs in their night clothes and
shouted “breakfast, daddy.” When food had not
appeared within thirty seconds,
Randy
began
using his spoon on Alex?s head
(34) ______ ______ it were a drum. Alex
started to shout loudly in time to the beat. Mike
chanted “Where?s my toast, where?s my
toast” in the background. Brad realized his
newspaper would have to wait for a few
seconds.
Life
became
worse
after
breakfast.
Mike
wore
Randy?s
underwear
on
his
head.
Randy
locked
(35)
______
in
the
bathroom, while Alex shouted again
because he was going to wet his pants. Nobody
could find clean socks, (36) ______
they were before their very eyes.
Someone (37) ______(name)
“Not Me” had
spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the
basket of clean clothes. Brad knew the
talk show had already started.
By ten
o?clock, things were out of control. Alex was
wondering why the fish in the jar
ref
used his bread and butter.
Mike was trying to show off his talent
by decorating the kitchen wall with his colour
pencils. Randy, thankfully, appeared
(38) ______(draw) a picture quietly in
the family room
，
but closer
examination showed that he was eating apple jam
straight
from the bottle with his
hands. Brad realized that the talk show was over
and (39)______(read) would be impossible.
At exactly 11:17, Brad called the
daycare centre.
“I suddenly have to go
into work and my wife?s away.
(40)______ I
bring
t
he boys over in a few minutes?” The
answer was obviously “yes”
because Brad
was smiling.

Dogs Used to Be More Like Cats
Researchers
studying
fossils
(
化石
)
of
the
early
ancestors
of
dogs
that
lived
up
to
40
million
years
ago
believe
the
predators
(
捕食性动物
) evolved as a direct
consequence of climate change. The study claims
the (41)______ transformed
man?s best
friend from a creature that behaved more like a
cat, into the
canine
(
犬
) we know and love today.
Ancestors of dogs living in North
America 40 million years ago were
ambush
(
伏击式
)
predators
—
in a(n) (42)______
way to cats?. But a million years
later, the thick forest that once covered the
continent began to give way to grasslands.
Th
is
led to a(n) (43)______
in the body shape and hunting behavior of dogs,
turning them into animals that no longer
(44)______
their
prey
(
猎物
), but chased it down
instead.
This evolutionary transition
was (45)______ by the scientists who examined the
elbows and teeth of 32 species of dogs
that lived between 40 million and two
million years ago.
“The elbow is a
really good
(46)______ of what
carnivores
(
食肉动物
) are doing with their
forelimbs
(
前肢
), which
tells
their entire (47)
______ abilities,”
said Brown University?s Christine Janis,
w
ho led the study.
The
research was based on an analysis of fossil
specimens
(
标本
) in the American Museum
of Natural History in New
York.
It
suggests
dog
evolution
was
directly
related
to
climate
change.
After
all,
it
was
not
(48)______
to
operate
as
a
pursuit-and-pounce predator until there
was room to run.
If
predators
evolved
with
climate
change
over
the
last
40
million
years,
the
authors
argue
they
may
continue
to
(49)______ in response to
the present global warming trend. In this way, the
results of the study could help (50)______ how
animals may look in the future.
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.
Two friends have an argument that
breaks up their friendship forever, even though
neither one can remember how the
whole
thing got started. Such sad events happen over and
over in high schools across the country.
51
, according to an
official
report on youth violence, “in our country today,
the greatest threat to the lives of children and
adolescents is not
disease
or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible
reality of violence”. Given that this is the case,
why aren?t s
tudents
taught
to manage
52
the way they
are taught to solve math problems or stay
physically fit?
First
of
all,
students
need
to
realize
that
conflict
is
53
.
A
report
indicates
that
most
violent
incidents
between
students begin with a relatively minor
54
. For example, a fight could start over the fact
that one student eats a peanut
butter
sandwich each lunchtime.
55
the
sandwich
can
lead
to
insults,
which
in
turn
can
lead
to
violence.
The
problem
isn?t
in
the
sandwich,
but
in
the
way
students deal with the conflict.
Once students recognize that conflict
is unavoidable, they can
56
the golden rule of conflict resolution:
stay calm.
Once
the
student
feels
calmer,
he
should
choose
words
that
will
calm
the
other
person
down
as
well.
Rude
words
and
accusation only add fuel to the
emotional fire. On the other hand,
57
words spoken at a normal sound level
can put out
the fire before it explodes
out of control.
After
both
sides
have
calmed
down,
they
can
use
another
key
58
for
conflict
resolution:
listening.
Listening
allows the two
sides to understand each other. One person should
describe his or her side, and the other person
should listen
without interrupting.
Afterward, the listener can ask non-threatening
questions to make the
speaker
?s
position clear.
Then the
two people should change
59
.
60
, students need to
consider what they are hearing. This
doesn?t mean trying to figure out what?s wrong
with the
other
person.
It
means
understanding
what
the
real
issue
is
and
what
both
sides
are
trying
to
61
.
For
example,
a
shouting match over a peanut butter
sandwich might happen because one person thinks
the other person is unwilling to try
new things. Students need
to ask themselves questions such as these: How did
this start? What do I really want? What am I
afraid
of? As
the
issue becomes
62
,
the
conflict often
simply
becomes
smaller.
Even
if
it
doesn?t,
63
thought
helps both sides
figure out a better solution.
After
students started a conflict resolution, there has
been an increase in student
64
.
Learning to resolve conflicts
can help
students
65
friends,
teachers, parents, bosses and coworkers. In that
way, conflict resolution is a basic life
skill that should be taught in schools
across the country.
