Directions:
In
this
section,
you
are
going
to
read
a
passage
with
ten
statements
attached
to
it.
Each
statement
contains
information given in one of the paragraphs.
Identify the paragraph from which the information
is derived. You
may choose a paragraph
more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a
letter. Answer the questions by marking the
corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.
Countries Rush for Upper Hand in
Antarctica
A) On a glacier-filled
island with fjords
（峡湾）
and
elephant seals, Russia has built
Antarctica
’
s first Orthodox
church
on a bill overlooking its
research base. Less than an hour away by
snowmobile. Chinese laborers have updated the
Great
Wall Station, a vital part of
China
’
s plan to operate five
basses on Antarctica, complete with an indoor
badminton court
and sleeping quarters
for 150 people. Not to be outdone,
India
’
s futuristic new
Bharathi base, built on
stills
（桩子）
using
134 interlocking shipping containers,
resembles a spaceship. Turkey and Iran have
announced plans to build bases, too.
B)
More
than
a
century
has
passed
since
explorers
raced
to
plant
their
flags
at
the
bottom
of
the
world,
and
for
decades to come this continent is
supposed to be protected as a scientific preserve,
shielded from intrusions like military
activities and mining . But an array of
countries are rushing to assert greater influence
here, with an eye not just towards
the
day those protective treaties expire, but also for
the strategic and commercial that already exist.
C) The newer players are stepping into
what they view as a treasure house of resources.
Some of the ventures focus
on
the
Antarctic
resources
that
are
already
up
for
grabs,
like
abundant
sea
life.
South
Korea,
which
operates
state-
of
–
the-art bases here, is
increasing its fishing of
krill
（磷虾）
，
found
in abundance in the Southern Ocean, while Russia
recently frustrated efforts to create
one of the world
’
s largest
ocean sanctuaries here.
D) Some
scientists are examining the potential for
harvesting icebergs form Antarctica, which is
estimated
to have
the
biggest
reserves
of
fresh
water
on
the
planet.
Nations
are
also
pressing
ahead
with
space
research
and
satellite
projects to expand
their global navigation abilities.
E)
Building on a Soviet-era foothold, Russia is
expanding its monitoring stations for Glonass, its
version of the Global
Positioning
System(GPS). At least three Russian stations are
already operating in Antarctica, part of its
effort to challenge
the dominance of
the American GPS, and new stations are planned for
sites like the Russian base, in the shadow of the
Orthodox Church of the Holy Trinity.
F)
Elsewhere
in
Antarctica, Russian
researchers
boast
of
their
recent
discovery
of a
freshwater
reserve
the
size
of
Lake Ontario after drilling through
miles of solid ice. “You can see that we’re here
to stay,” said Vladimir Cheberdak, 57,
chief of the Bellingshausen Station, as
he sipped tea under a portrait of Fabian Gottlieb
von Bellingshausen, a high-ranking
officer in the Imperial Russian Navy
who explored the Antarctic coast in 1820.
G)
Antarctica
’
s
mineral,
oil
and
gas
wealth
are
a
longer-term
prize.
The
treaty
banning
mining
here,
shielding
c
oveted(
令人垂诞的
)reserves of
iron ore, coal and chromium, comes up for review
in 2048. Researchers recently found
Kimberlite(
金伯利岩
)
deposits
hinting
at
the
existence
of
diamonds.
And
while
assessments
vary
widely,
geologists
estimate that
Antarctica holds at least 36 billion barrels of
oil and natural gas.
H) Beyond the
Antarctic treaties, huge obstacles persist to
tapping these resources, like drifting icebergs
that could
jeopardize
offshore
platforms.
Then
there
is
Antarctic’s
remoteness,
with
some
mineral
deposits
found
in
windswept
locations on a
continent that is larger the Europe and where
winter temperatures hover around minus 55 degrees
Celsius.
I) But advances in technology
might make Antarctica a lot more accessible three
decades from now. And even before
then,
scholars warn, the demand for resources in an
energy-
hungry world could raise
pressure to renegotiate Antarctica’s
treaties,
possibly
allowing
more
commercial
endeavours
here
well
before
the
prohibitions
against
them
expire.
The
research
stations
on
King
George
lsland
offer
a
glimpse
into
the
long
game
on
this
ice-blanketed
continent
as
nations
assert themselves,
eroding the sway long held by countries like the
United States, Britain. Australia and New Zealand.
J) Being stationed in Antarctica
involves adapting to life on the planet’s driest,
windiest and coldest continent, yet
each nation manages to make itself at
home. Bearded Russian priests offer regular
services at the Orthodox church for the
16
or
so
Russian
speakers
who
spend
the
winter
at
the
base,
largely
polar
scientists
in
fields
like
glaciology
and
meteorology. Their number climbs to
about 40 in the warmer summer months. China
has arguably the fastest growing
operations in Antarctica. It opened its
fourth station last year and is pressing ahead
with plans to build a fifth. It is building
its second ice-breaking ship and
setting up research drilling operations on an ice
dome 13,422 feet above sea level that is
one the planet’s coldest places.
Chinese officials say the expansion in Antarctica
prioritises scientific research. But they
also acknowledge that concerns about
“resource security” influence their
moves.
K) China’s newly
re
novated Great Wall Station on King
George lsland makes the Russian and Chilean bases
here seem
outdated. ”We do weather
monitoring here and other research.” Ning Xu, 53,
the chief of the Chinese base, said over tea
during
a
fierce
blizzard(
暴风雪
)
in
late
November.
The
large
base
he
leads
resembles
a
snowed-in
college
campus
on
holiday
break, with the capacity to sleep more than 10
times the 13 people who were staying on through
the Antarctic
winter.
Yong
Yu,
a
Chinese
microbiologist,
showed
off
the
spacious
building,
with
empty
desks
under
an
illustrated
timeline detailing the rapid growth of
China’s Antarctic operations since the 1980s “We
now feel equipped to grow,” he
said.
L) As some countries expand operations
in Antarctica, the United States maintains three
year-round stations on the
continent
with more than 1,000 people during the southern
hemisphere’s summer, including those at the
Amundsen Scott
station, built in 1956
at an elevation of 9,301 feet on a plateau at the
South Pole. But US researchers quietly complain
about budget restraints and having far
fewer icebreakers the Russia, limiting the reach
of the United States in Antarctica.
M)
Scholars warn that
Antarctica
’
s political drift
could blur the distinction between military and
civilian activities long
before
the
continent
’
s
treaties
come
up
for
renegotiation,
especially
in
parts
of
Antarctica
that
are
ideal
for
intercepting(
拦截
)
signals from satellites or retasking satellite
systems, potentially enhancing global electronic
intelligence
operations.
N)
Some countries have had a hard time here, Brazil
opened a research station in 1984, but it was
largely destroyed
by a fire that killed
two members of the navy in 2012, the same year
that a diesel-laden Brazilian barge sank near the
base.
As if that were not enough. a
Brazilian C-130 Hercules military transport plane
has remained stranded near the runway of
Chile’s air base here since it
crash
-landed in 2014.
O)
However, Brazil’s stretch of misfortune has
created opportunities for China, with a Chinese
com
pany winning the
$$100
million contract in 2015 to rebuild the Brazilian
station.
P) Amid all the changes,
Antarctica maintains its allure. South Korea
opened its second Antarctic research base in
2014, describing it as a way to test
robots developed by Kor
ean researchers
for use in extreme conditions. With Russia’s
help,
Belarus
is
preparing
to
build
this
first
Antarctic
base.
Colombia
said
this
year
that
it
planned
to
join
other
South
American nations with bases in
Antarctica.
Q)
“The
old
days
of
the
Antar
ctic
being
dominated
by
the
interests
and
wishes
of
white
men
from
European.
Australasian and
North American states are over.” Said Klaus Dodds,
a politics scholar at the University of London who
specialises in Antarctica. “The reality
is that Antarctica is geopolitically
contested.”
36. According to
Chinese officials, their activities in Antarctica
lay greater emphasis on scientific research.
37. Efforts to create one of the
world’s largest ocean sanctuaries failed because
of Russia’s obstruction.
38.
With
several monitoring stations
operating in Antarctica, Russia is trying hard to
counter America’s dominance in
the
field of worldwide navigational facilities.
39. According to geologists’ estimates.
Antarctica has enormous reserves of oil and
natural gas.
40. It is
estimated that Antarctica boasts of the richest
reserves of fresh water on earth.
41.
The demand for energy resources may compel
renegotiation of Antarctica’s treaties before
their expiration.
42. Many
countries are racing against each other to
increase their business and strategic influence on
Antarctica.
43. Antarctica’s harsh
natural conditions constitute huge obstacles to
the exploitation of its resources.
44. With competition from many
countries, Antarctica is no longer dominated by
the traditional white nations.
45.
American scientists complain about lack of
sufficient money and equipment for their expansion
in Antarctica.
Section C
Directions: There are 2 passages in
this section. Each passage is followed by some
questions or unfinished statements.
For
each
of
them
there
are
four
choices
marked
A),B),C)and
D).You
should
decide
on
the
best
choice
and
mark
the
corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2
with a single line through the centre.
Passage one
Questions 46 to
50 are based on the following passage.
Any veteran nicotine addict will
testify that fancy packaging plays no role in the
decision to keep smoking. So, it is
argued, stripping cartons of their
branding will trigger no mass movement to quit.
But that isn’t why the
government—
under pressure from cancer
charities, health workers and the Labour
party
—
has
agreed
to legislate for standardized packaging. The
theory is that smoking should be stripped of any
appeal to discourage
new generations
from starting in the first place. Plain packaging
would be another step in the reclassification of
cigarettes
from inviting consumer
products to narcotics
（麻醉剂）
.
Naturally,
the
tobacco
industry
is
violently
opposed.
No
business
likes
to
admit
that
it
sells
addictive
poison
as
a
lifestyle choice. That is why
government has historically intervened, banning
advertising, imposing health warnings and
punitive (
惩罚性的
)
duties. This approach has led over time to a fall
in smoking with numbers having roughly halved
since
the 1970s. Evidence from
Australia suggests plain packaging pushes society
further along that road. Since tobacco as one
of the biggest causes of premature
death in the UK, a measure that tames the habit
even by a fraction is worth trying.
So
why has it taken so long? The Department of Health
declared its intention to consider the move in
November 2010
and consulted through
2012. But the plan was suspended in July 2013. It
did not escape notice that a lobbying firm set up
by Lynton Crosby, David Cameron’s
election campaign director, had previously acted
for Philip Morris International. (The
prime minister denied there was a
connection between his news ad
viser’s
outside interests and the change in legislative
programme.) In November 2013, after an
unnecessary round of additional consultation,
health minister Jane Ellison said
the
government was minded to proceed after all. Now we
are told Members of Parliament (MPs) will have a
free voice
before parliament is
dissolved in March.
Parliament has in
fact already authorised the government to tame the
tobacco trade. MPs voted overwhelmingly in
favour of Labour amendments to the
children and families bill last February that
included the power to regulate for plain
packaging. With sufficient will in
Downing Street this would have been done already.
But strength of will is the missing
ingredient where Mr. Cameron and public
health are concerned. His attitude to state
intervention has looked confused
ever
since
his
bizarre
2006
lament
(
叹息
)
that
chocolate
oranges
placed
seductively
at
supermarket
check-outs
fueled
obesity.
The government has moved reluctantly
into a sensible public health policy, but with
such obvious over-cautiousness
that any
political credit due belongs to the opposition.
Without sustained external pressure it seems
certain Mr. Cameron
would still be
hooked on the interests of big tobacco companies.
46. What do chain smokers think of
cigarette packaging?
A) Fancy packaging
can help to engage new smokers.
B) It
has little to do with the quality or taste of
cigarettes.
C) Plain packaging
discourages non-smokers from taking up smoking.
D) It has little impact on their
decision whether or not to quit smoking.
47. What has the UK government agreed
to do concerning tobacco packaging?
A)
Pass a law to standardise cigarette packaging.
C) Subsidise companies to adopt plain
packaging.
B) Rid cigarette cartons of
all advertisements.
D) Reclassify
cigarettes according to packaging.
48.
What has happened in Australia where plain
packaging is implemented?
A) Premature
death rates resulting from smoking have declined.
B) The number of smokers has dropped
more sharply than in the UK.
C) The
sales of tobacco substitutes have increased
considerably.
D) Cigarette sales have
been falling far more quickly than in the UK.
49. Why it taken so long for the UK
government to consider plain packaging?
A) Prime Minister Cameron has been
reluctant to take action.
B) There is
strong opposition from veteran nicotine addicts.
C) Many Members of Parliament are
addicted to smoking.
D) Pressure from
tobacco manufacturers remains strong.
50. What did Cameron say about
chocolate oranges at supermarket checkouts?
A) They fueled a lot of controversy.
C) They attracted a lot of smokers.
B) They made more British people obese.
D) They had certain ingredients
missing.
Passage Two
Questions 51 to 55 are based on the
following passage.
What
a
waste
of
money!
In
return
for
an
averageof?44,000
of
debt,
students
get
an
average
of
only
14
hours
of
lecture
and tutorial time a week in Britain. Annual fees
have risen from?1,000 to $$9,000 in the last
decade. But contact
time at university
has barely risen at all. And graduating doesn’t
even provid
e any guarantee of a decent
job six in ten
graduates today are in
non-graduate jobs.
No wonder it has
become fashionable to denounce many universities
as little more that elaborate com-
tricks(
骗术
).
There
’
s a lot for
students to complain about the repayment threshold
for paying back loans will be frozen for five
years,
meaning that lower-paid graduals
have to start repaying their loans, and
maintenance grants have been replaced by loans
meaning that students from poorer
backgrounds face higher debt than those with
wealthier parents.
Yet it still pays to
go to university. If going to
un
iversity doesn’t work out, students
pay very little—
if
any
—
of their
tuition fees back, you only start
repaying when you are earning ?21, 000 a year.
Almost half of
graduates
—
those who go
on to earn less
—will have a
portion of their debt written off. It’s
n
ot just the lectures and tutorials
that are important.
Education is the
sum of what students teach each other in between
lectures and seminars. Students do not merely
benefit
while at university, studies
show they go on to be healthier and happier than
non-graduates, and also far more likely to
vote.
Whatever
your
talents,
it
is
extraordinarily
difficult
to
get
a
leading
job
in
most
fields
without
having
been
to
university. Recruiters circle elite
universities like
vultures(
兀鹰
). Many top firms
will not even look at applications from
those who lack a 2.1, i.e., an upper-
second class degree, from an elite university.
Students at university also meet those
likely to be in leading jobs in the
future, forming contacts for life. This might not
be right, but school-leavers who fail to
acknowledge as much risk making the
wrong decision about going to university.
Perhaps the reason why so many
universities offer their students so little is
they know studying at a top university
remains
a brilliant
investment even if you don’t learn anything
.Studying at university will only become less
attractive if
employers shift their
focus away from where someone went to
university

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

【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 att
ach 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.
【参考译文】
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。
< br>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。
< br>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。
