II. Grammar and Vocabulary

Section A

Directions:

After

reading

the

passage

below,

fill

in

the

blanks

to

make

the

passage

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.

However depressed you may be feeling now, if you look back, there certainly will have been events

that made you happy

—

maybe the time (21) ________ you bought your first bicycle or you were awarded a

scholarship. When good things happen, we feel excited, proud and happy.

But

the

problem

is,

happiness

doesn’t

usually

last.

The

excitement

of

that

first

bicycle

purchase

wears off, and the pride in the scholarship gives way to the stress of performing (22) ______ (well) on the

next exam.

Psychologists

call

this

phenomenon

hedonic

adaptation

(

享乐适应症

)

—

that

is,

(23)

_______

________

________ good something makes us feel, most of the time we drift back to (24) _______ we

started. An often (25) __________ (quote) example is that lottery winners are no happier than non-winners

eighteen months after their win.

But don’t despair. It is possible to make happiness last. Psychologists have found two anti

-adaptation

tools that are effective in sustaining happiness: variety and appreciation.

Variety

is,

as

we

all

know,

the

spice

of

life.

But

it’s

also

a

useful

weapon

(2

6)

__________

adaptation. Positive changes that (27) __________ (experience) in a variety of ways are more likely to lead

to lasting happiness. For example, you will feel happier about your volunteer work (28) __________ you

are able to cope with new tasks every week. The second tool, appreciation, is in many ways the opposite of

adaptation. It’s about focusing on something,

instead of letting it fade into the background. It is only when

you appreciate something (29) _______ an enduring feeling of happiness will follow.

Human

beings

spend

a

lot

of

time

figuring

out

what

makes

them

happy,

but

not

enough

time

(30)__________ (try) to hang on to the happiness they already have. This is like focusing all your energy

on

making

more

money,

without

giving

any

thought

to

what

you

will

do

with

the

money.

The

key

to

happiness

is

to

not

only

look

for

new

opportunities

but

also

to

make

the

most

of

the

ones

you’ve

been

given.

Section B

Directions:

Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once.

Note that there is one word more than you need.

A. coupled

B. currently

C. head

D. depressing

E. product

F. target

G

. suggest

H. capability

I. score

J. potentially

K. tricky

Want to figure out if someone is a psychopath (

精神变态者

)? Ask them what their favourite song is. A

New

York

University

study

last

year

found

that

people

who

loved

Eminem’s

Lose

Yourself

and

Justin

Bieber’s

What

Do

You

Mean?

were

more

likely

to

(31)

highly

on

the

psychopathy

scale

than

people who were into Dire Straits.

Over the past few years, Spotify has been enhancing its data analytic (32)

in an attempt to

help marketers (33)

consumers with adverts tailored to the mood they’re in. They infer this from

the sort of music you’re listening to,

(34)

with where and when you’re listening to it, along with

third-party data that might be available.

Now, to be clear,

there’s nothing particularly

(35)

about what Spotify is doing with your data.

I certainly don’t think that they are working with shadowy consulting firms to serve you ads promoting a

culture war while you’re listening to the songs that

(36)

you might be in a casually racist mood.

Nevertheless, I find it (37)

that our personal private moments with music are increasingly being

turned into data points and sold to advertisers.

You can see where this could go, can’t you? As ad targeting gets

ever more complicated, marketers

will

have

the

ability

to

target

our

emotions

in

(38)

exploitative

ways.

According

to

one

study,

titled

Misery Is Not Miserly

, you are more likely to spend more on a (39)

if you’re feeling sad.

You can imagine

some companies might take advantage of that. And on that note, I’m feeling a little down

about all this. I’ll

(40)

off to treat myself to something expensive.

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.

The

constant

working

engine

that

drives

the

majority

of

human

action

is,

undoubtedly,

the

fragrant

dream of individualism. And while the presence of its scent is (41)

throughout the world entirely,

its value is worshipped (

敬奉

) to such an extent in a land no other than that of America.

As

the

framework

of

its

history,

America

holds

individuality

as

the

ever-popular

green

light,

the

essence of which becomes the symbol of hope for, well, almost everything. In fact, in America’s current

social status, individuality has become something of a birthright, and a (42)

applied upon the face

of the media, where it was (43)

valued as the American dream. There is no denying the popularity

of this idol in American society, and little hope for (44)

it.

However,

(45)

most

pride

themselves

in

their

individualistic

state,

perhaps

humans,

when

stripped (

剥

) to their core (

核心

), are everything but.

It is no new discovery that

people are the sum of

their

experiences. The overwhelming

majority of

human experiences involve other humans, along with the (46)

and relationships between them. It

is a (47)

occurrence when a life is built upon events without this stimulus. Indeed, interaction is

the core of experience. Therefore, in order that humans are the sum of their experiences, they must be the

sum of the people that they meet, just as well.

As

an

Americanized

teen,

I

found

the

discovery

that

not

only

my

self-entitled

individualism

was

(48)

, but that I, as a being, was a product, increasingly unsettling to accept. Questions (49)_____

me such as “If I am bits and pieces of everyone I have met —

my family, my teachers, all of my friends,

and even strangers

—

then what is left that is just me? What part of me is just me? How much of myself is

the

combining

of

different

parts

of

different

people?

Is

such

a

(50)

between

myself

and

others

even poss

ible?”

Such

are

inquiries

that

will

continue

to

be

thought

about,

as

I

have

come

to

accept

that

they

will

remain

a

(51)

.

Therefore,

with

the

allowance

of

these

questions,

the

response

must

be

a

(52)_______

in the definition of “oneself”. The prev

iously mentioned questions no longer concern me,

as

I

have

put

a

stop

to

the

idea

that

the

“real”

me

is

some

lost

isolated

island

on

top

of

an

ocean

of

influence.

I

realized

that

my

personality

cannot

depend

on

a(n)

(53)

between

influence

and

individualism, as such is a line that cannot be distinct. (54)

, I must be a person whose calmness is a

beautifully hazy mixture, and a steady question. Thus, it is the commonly unnoticed durable mystery that is

the

frustration

of

those

who

can

(55)

the

lie

of

individualism.

Hopefully,

they

will

come

into

acceptance.

41. A. unpredictable

B. untrustworthy

C. unreliable

D. undeniable

42. A. necessity

B. characteristic

C. mark

D. model

43. A. later

B. previously

C. extremely

D. publicly

C. frequent

D. strange

48. A. right

B. justified

C. unclear

D. false

49. A. affected

B. interrupted

C. bothered

D. surprised

B. combination

C. contrast

D. communication

51. A. secret

B. mystery

C. truth

D. fantasy

52. A. gap

B. belief

C. factor

D. change

53. A. distinction

B. connection

C. exchange

D. medium

54. A. Therefore

B. However

D. Furthermore

55. A. break up

B. make up

C. cope with

D. see through

Section B

Directions:

Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished

statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.

Choose the one that fits best

according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

(A)

Charity

Cycling

UK

recently

launched

a

campaign

to

raise

awareness

of

dooring

after

discovering

that

many

people

don’t

know

what

it

is.

Dooring

is

when

a

driver

or

passenger

opens

the

door

into

another

road

user

—

typically

cyclist

—

without

looking

for

other

road

users.

Cycling UK chief executive Paul Tuohy told

Gloucestershire Live

:

“Some people seem to see car

dooring as a bit of a joke, but it’s not and

can have serious consequences. Cycling UK wants to see great awareness

made about the dangers of opening your car door carelessly, and people

to be encouraged to look

before they open.”

The charity says 2,009 of the 3,000 injuries were sustained by cyclists, resulting in five fatalities but

says this might not be the full extent of the danger.

Cycling UK says not all car dooring incidents will be attended by police, so the charity has written to

transport minister Jesse Norman calling for a public awareness campaign urging all car occupants, not just

drivers, to look before opening vehicle doors. One of the ways the charity suggests is the

“Dutch reach”,

where people leaving a vehicle reach over and use the non-door side hand to open the door.

Cycling UK also suggests harsher laws and advice on safer road positioning for people who cycle.

Mr. Tuohy said: “In the Netherlands they are known f

or practicing a method, known sometimes as the

‘Dutch reach’, which we think could be successfully encouraged in the UK.”

“Cycling UK has written to the Department for Transport asking them to look into this, and highlight

the dangers of ‘car dooring’ through a public awareness THINK style campaign.”

If you’re really concerned about opening a door into the path of a cyclist coming behind you, consider

using what’s known as the “Dutch reach” to open the door. That will naturally turn you in your seat and

giv

e you a much better view of what’s coming up alongside in the car.

56. Why does the author mention the figures in Paragraph 3?

A. To cause public concern.

B. To report the terrible accidents.

C. To show the danger of car dooring.

D. To stress the importance of traffic safety.

57

. While doing the “Dutch reach”, you should ________________________.

A. sit still in your seat

B. open the car door politely

C. use the inside hand to open the door

D. use the left hand to open the car door

58. What can be learned from the text?

A. Many people are ignorant of car dooring.

B. The “Dutch reach” is well received in England.

C. Dooring incidents are all attended by police.

D. Drivers are to blame for dooring incidents.

59

. What’s the author’s attitude tow

ards car dooring?

A. Negative.

B. Ridiculous.

C. Neutral.

D. Concerned
