Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage.



According


to


a


report


from


the


Harvard


School


of


Public


Health,


many


everyday


products,including some bug sprays and cleaning fluids, could lead to an increased risk of brain


and behavioraldisorders in children. The developing brain, the report says, is particularly36to the

The Impossibility of Rapid Energy Transitions


[


A


]


Politicians


are


fond


of


promising


rapid


energy


transitions.


Whether


it


is


a


transition


from


importedto domestic oil or from coal- powered electricity production to natural-gas power plants,


politicianslove to talk big. Unfortunately for them (and often the taxpayers), our energy systems


are a bitlike an aircraft carrier: they are unbelievably expensive, they are built to last for a very


long


time,they


have


a


huge


amount


of


inertia


(


meaning


it


takes


a


lot


of


energy


to


set


them


moving ), andthey have a lot of momentum once they are set in motion. No matter how hard you


try, you can'tturn something that large on a dime ( 10


美分硬币



), or even a few thousand dimes.


[ B ] In physics, moving objects have two characteristics relevant to understanding the dynamics


ofenergy


systems:


inertia


and


momentum.


Inertia


is


the


resistance


of


objects


to


efforts


to


changetheir state of motion. If you try to push a boulder (


大圆石



), it pushes you back. Once you


havestarted


the


boulder


rolling,


it


develops


momentum,


which


is


defined


by


its


mass


and


um is said to be


So a heavy object, like a football player moving at a high speed, has a lot of momentum-that is,


once he is moving, it is hard to change his state of motion. If you want to change his course, you


have only a few choices: you can stop him, transferring ( possibly painfully) some of his kinetic


energy


(


动能


)


to


your


own


body,


or


you


can


approach


alongside


and


slowly


apply


pressure


to


gradually alter his course.


[ C ] But there are other kinds of momentum as well. After all, we don't speak only of objects or


people as having momentum; we speak of entire systems having momentum. Whether it's a sports


team or a presidential campaign, everybody relishes having the big momentum, because it makes


them harder to stop or change direction.


[


D


]


One kind


of


momentum


is


technological


momentum.


When


a


technology


is


deployed,


its


impacts reach far beyond itself. Consider the incandescent (


白炽灯的


) bulb, an object currently


hated


by


many


environmentalists


and


energy-efficiency


advocates.


The


incandescent


light


bulb,


invented by Thomas Edison, which came to be the symbol of inspiration, has been developed into


hundreds, if not thousands, of forms. Today, a visit to a lighting store reveals a stunning array of


choices.


There


are


standard-shaped


bulbs,


flame-shaped


bulbs,


colored


globe-shaped


bulbs,


and


more. It is quite easy, with all that choice, to change a light bulb.


[


E


]


But


the


momentum


of


incandescent


lighting


does


not


stop


there.


All


of


those


specialized


bulbs ledto the building of specialized light fixtures, from the desk lamp you study by, to the ugly


but


beloved


hand-painted


Chinese


lamp


you


inherited


from


your


grandmother,


to


the


ceiling


fixture


in


your


closet,


to


the


light


in


your


oven


or


refrigerator,


and


to


the


light


that


the


dentist


points at


you.


It is easy to


change a light bulb, sure, but it is harder to change the bulb and its


fixture.


[ F ] And there is more to the story, because not only are the devices that house incandescent bulbs


shaped to their underlying characteristics, but rooms and entire buildings have been designed in


accordance with how incandescent lighting reflects off walls and windows.


[ G ] As lighting expert Howard Brandston points out, “ Generally, there are no bad light sources,


only bad applications.


fluorescent (


荧光的


) light bulb ], yet the selection of any light source remains inseparable from


the


luminaire


(


照明装置



)


that


houses


it,


along


with


the


space


in


which


both


are


installed,


and


lighting requirements that need to be satisfied. The lamp, the fixture, and the room, all three must


work


in


concert


for


the


true


benefits


of


end-users.


If


the


CFL


should


be


used


for


lighting


a


particular


space,


or


an


object


within


that


space,


the


fixture


must


be


designed


to


work


with


that


lamp, and that fixture with the room. It is a symbiotic (


共生的



) relationship. A CFL cannot be


simply installed in an incandescent fixture and then expected to produce a visual appearance that


is


more


than


washed


out,


foggy,


and


dim.


The


whole


fixture


must


be


replaced- light


source


and


luminaire-and this is never an inexpensive proposition.


[


H


]


And


Brandston


knows


a


thing


or


two


about


lighting,


being


the


man


who


illuminated


the


Statue of Liberty.


[ I ]Another type of momentum we have to think about when planning for changes in our energy


systems is labor-pool momentum. It is one thing to say that we are going to shift 30 percent of our


electricity supply from, say, coal to nuclear power in 20 years. But it is another


thing to have a


supply


of


trained


talent


that


could


let


you


carry


out


this


promise.


That


is


because


the


engineers,designers, regulators, operators, and all of the other skilled people needed for the new


energy industry are specialists who have to be trained first ( or retrained, if they are the ones being


laid


off


in


some


related


industry),


and


education,


like


any


other


complicated


endeavor,


takes



not


only


do


our


prospective


new


energy


workers


have


to


be


trained,


they


have


to


be


trained


in


the


right


sequence.


One


needs


the


designers,


and


perhaps


the


regulators,


before


the


builders and operators, and each group of workers in training has to know there is work waiting


beyond graduation. In some cases, colleges and universities might have to change their training


programs,


adding another layer of difficulty.


[ J ] By far the biggest type of momentum that comes into play when it comes to changing our


energy systems is economic momentum. The major components of our energy systems, such as


fuel production, refining, electrical generation and distribution, are costly installations that have


lengthy life spans. They have to operate for long periods of time before the costs of development


have


been


recovered.


When


investors


put


up


money


to


build,


say,


a


nuclear


power


plant,


they


expect


to


earn


that


money


back


over


the


planned


life


of


the


plant,


which


is


typically


between


40and


60


years.


Some


coal


power


plants


in


the


United


States


have


operated


for


more


than


70


years!


The oldest continuously operated commercial hydro-electric plant in the United States is on New


York's Hudson River, and it went into commercial service in 1898.


[ K ] As Vaclav Smil points out,


so miserably because their authors and promoters thought the transitions they hoped to implement


would proceed unlike all previous energy transitions, and that their progress could be accelerated


in an unprecedented manner.


[


L


]


When


you


hear


people


speaking


of


making


a


rapid


transition


toward


any


type


of


energy,


whether


it


is


a


switch


from


coal


to


nuclear


power,


or


a


switch


from


gasoline-powered


cars


to


electric cars, or even a an incandescent to a fluorescent light, understanding energy


system inertia and momentum can help you decide whether their plans are feasible.


46. Not only moving objects and people but all systems have momentum.


47.


Changing


the


current


energy


system


requires


the


systematic


training


of


professionals


and


skilled labor.


48. Changing a light bulb is easier than changing the fixture housing it.


49. Efforts to accelerate the current energy transitions didn't succeed as expected.


50. To change the light source is costly because you have to change the whole fixture.


51. Energy systems, like an aircraft carrier set in motion, have huge momentum.


52.


The


problem


with


lighting,


if


it


arises,


often


doesn't


lie


in


light


sources


but


in


their


applications.


53. The biggest obstacle to energy transition is that the present energy system is too expensive to


replace.


54. The application of a technology can impact areas beyond itself.


55. Physical characteristics of moving objects help explain the dynamics of energy systems.


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 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.


One


hundred


years


ago,



was


the


typical


way


of


referring


to


Americans


of


African


descent. Twenty years later, it was purposefully dropped to make way for


1960s,that term was overtaken by


Jesse Jackson declared that


because it echoed the labels of groups, such as


already been


freed of widespread discrimination.



A


century's


worth


of


calculated


name


changes


point


to


the


fact


that


naming


any


group


is


a


politically


freighted


exercise.


A


2001


study


cataloged


all


the


ways


in


which


the


term



carried connotations (


涵义


) that were more negative than those of



But


if


it


was


known


that



people


were


viewed


differently


from



Americans,


A recent study, conducted by Emory University's Erika Hall, found that


more




Americans


because


of


a


perceived


difference


in


socioeconomic


status.


As


a


result,


people


are


thought


of


as


less


competent


and


as


having


colder


personalities.



The


study's


most


striking


findings


shed


light


on


the


racial


biases


permeating


the


professional


seemingly harmless details on a resume, it appears, can tap into recruiters' biases. A


job


application


might


mention


affiliations


with


groups


such


as


the



Association


of


African-American Lawyers


apparently have consequences, and are also beyond their members' control.



In one of the study's experiments, subjects were given a brief description of a man from Chicago


with the last name Williams. To one group, he was identified as


was told he was


Mr. Williams's


salary,professional standing, and educational background.



The


college


degree.


The



group,


on


the


other


hand,


put


his


salary


at


about


$$


29,000,


and


guessed


that


he


had


only



college


experience.


Nearly


three-quarters


of


the


first


group


guessed


that


ms


worked


at


a


managerial


level,


while


only


38.5


percent


of


the


second


group thought so.



Hall's


findings


suggest


there's


an


argument


to


be


made


for


electing


to


use



American,


of continued progress. Perhaps a new phrase is needed, one that can bring everyone one big step


closer to realizing Du Bois's original, idealistic hope:



56.



Why did Jesse Jackson embrace the term


57.




is free from racial biases.


represents social progress.


is in the interest of common Americans.


follows the standard naming practice.


57. What does the author say about the naming of an ethnic group ?


advances with the times.


is based on racial roots.


merits intensive study.


is politically sensitive.


58.



What do Erika Hall's findings indicate?



biases are widespread in the professional world.



applicants don't attend to details on their resumes.



seekers should all be careful- about their affiliations.



recruiters are unable to control their racial biases.


59. What does Erika Hall find in her experiment about a man with the last name Williams?



n Americans fare better than many other ethnic groups.



people's socioeconomic status in America remains low.



's conception of a person has much to do with the way he or she is labeled.



's professional standing and income are related to their educational background.


60. What is Dr. Du Bois's ideal?



Americans enjoy equal rights.



B.A person is judged by their worth.



C.A new term is created to address African Americans.



ethnic groups share the nation's continued progress.


Passage Two


Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.


Across the board, American colleges and universities are not doing a very good job of preparing


their students for the workplace or their post- graduation lives. This was made clear by the work of


two


sociologists,


Richard


Arum


and


Josipa



2011


they


released


a


landmark


study


ti tled


Adrift,


which


documented


the


lack


of


intellectual


growth


experienced


by


many people enrolled in college. In particular, Arum and Roksa found, college students were not


developing the critical thinking, analytic reasoning and other higher- level skills that are necessary


to


thrive


in


today's


knowledge-based


economy


and


to


lead


our


nation


in


a


time


of


complex


challenges and dynamic change.



Arum


and


Roksa


placed


the


blame


for


students'


lack


of


learning


on


a


watered-down


college


curriculum and lowered undergraduate work standards. Although going to college is supposed to


be a Full-time job, students spent, on average, only 12 to 14 hours a week studying and many were


skating


through


their


semesters


without


doing


a


significant


amount


of


reading


and


writing.


Students who take more challenging classes and spend more time studying do learn more. But the


priorities of many undergraduates are with extracurricular activities, playing sports, and partying


and socializing.



Laura


Hamilton,


the


author


of


a


study


on


parents


who


pay


for


college,


will


argue


in


a


forthcoming


book


that


college


administrations


are


overly


concerned


with


the


social


and


athletic


activities


of


their


students.


In Paying


for


the


Party,


Hamilton


describes


what


she


calls


the


“arty


pathway,


which


eases


many


students


through


college,


helped-along


by


various


clubs


that


send


students into the party scene and a host of easier sanctioning this watered-down version


of college, universities are


expense of others


once they graduate.



These students need to build skills and knowledge during college if they are to use their degrees as


a


stepping-stone


to


middle-class


mobility.


But


more


privileged


students


must


not


waste


this


opportunity either. As recent graduates can testify, the job market isn't kind to candidates who can't


demonstrate genuine competence, along with a well-cultivated willingness to work hard. Nor is


the global economy forgiving of an American workforce with increasingly weak literacy, math and


science


abilities.


College


graduates


will


still


fare


better


than


those


with


only


a


high


school


education, of course. But a university degree unaccompanied by a gain in knowledge or skills is an


empty


achievement


indeed.


For


students


who


have


been


coasting


through


college,


and


for


American universities that have been demanding less work, offering more attractions and charging


higher tuition, the party may soon be over.


61. What is Arum and Roksa's finding about higher education in America?


aims at stimulating the intellectual curiosity of college students.


fails to prepare students to face the challenges of modern times.


has experienced dramatic changes in recent years.


has tried hard to satisfy students' various needs.


62. What is responsible for the students' lack of higher-level skills?


diluted college curriculum.


boring classroom activities.


absence of rigorous discipline.


outdated educational approach.


63. What does Laura Hamilton say about college administrations?


fail to give adequate help to the needy students.


tend to offer too many less challenging courses.


seem to be out of touch with society.


prioritize non-academic activities.


64. What can be learned about the socially and financially privileged students?


tend to have a sense of superiority over their peers.


can afford to choose easier majors in order to enjoy themselves.


spend a lot of time building strong connections with businesses.


can climb the social ladder even without a degree.


65. What does the author suggest in the last paragraph?


an higher education has lost its global competitiveness.


should not expect too much from American higher education.


C. The current situation in American higher education may not last long.


will take a long time to change the current trend in higher education.

Conversation One


W: Charles, as a singer, do you ever make yourself cry when you sing?


M: No, not at this age. I'm an old man. (9) But the songs can still get through to me.


W: What song writers are currently exciting you?


M: I don't know much about song writers. Once in a while, I'll listen to the radio to see what they


are putting out, but it's not too often I hear something I like. Somebody like Art Tatum can make


me sit up and take notice, but some music, like rap, isn't very musical and I can't learn anything


from it. You got to do something more than talk to me.


W: What's the most difficult kind of music to sing?


M: It depends. ( 10-1 ) If I like something, I can sing it. I did the opera Porgiam best and that's


said to be a complicated piece of music. And I can do country music, blues and love songs. (10-2)


On the other hand, I can't sing something I don't like and that's one of my defects.


W: Can you perform music that's out of tune with the mood you might be in on a given night?


M: Yes, because when you sing, you are like an actor performing a part. Once you get out there,


you become that part



only you’re using music instead of dialogue



(11)I am the kind of a person


that ff my personal life is hurting,I can go to work and the music will take over



It's like a guy who


goes to a bar and drinks



For those few hours



I can wrap myself up in my music

Passage One


You


probably


know


what


a


mobile


is,


but


the


mobile


I'm


talking


about


is


a


delicate


object


of


decoration


hanging


from


the


ceding


and


moving


gently


with


every


breath.


(16)


It


delights


both


children


and


adults.


Now,do


you


know


who


invented


the


mobile?


This


lovely


creation


was


the


work of an American artist named Alexander Calder. Calder became interested in making things


when he was a child. And even then he often


used wire in his constructions. When he went to college, he studied engineering rather than art.


(18) But he quickly realized that art was his real passion. (17) He also loved the circus, and many


of his early artworks were small circus figures made with wire. In about 1930, Calder turned from


realistic wire figures to abstract ones. He began constructing objects that have circles, squares and


other geometric shapes. To get the shapes to move, he used small motors. Then he went one step


beyond


these


early


mobiles.


He


got


the


shapes


in


his


constructions


to


move


by


themselves.


A


mobile may look simple as it shifts in the wind, but it requires careful


construction to work properly. Calder used his engineering knowledge to create his first mobiles.


Often these consisted of small pieces of brightly printed metal strung by


wire to a thicker base


wire. Calder learn how to find the precise point to connect each wire so that all the pieces will


sway in harmony. In doing so, he created


an art form for people all over the world to copy and enjoy.


预览三道题的选项,


很难从其中找出范畴接近的词汇进而推测文章大意。第


l6


题主语一致,


都是


It


,并且


children


出现了两 次,因此推测


It


应该与孩子有关;第


l7


题主语为复数


They



表明短文中会提到复数的东西,


并且是人物形象


figures



细心的考生这时可能会发现该题中

< p>


made


和上题中的


i nvented


范畴接近,都含有



发 明,制作



的意思,故猜测短文可能是关


于制作孩子喜欢的人物形象。



16. What does the speaker say about a mobile?



四个选项的主语均是


It


,其中

children


出现了两次,综合未听先知的信息点,以及选项中出


现的


carried



fo und



invented


,可推测本 题可能考查某种与孩子有关的事物的性质特点。短


文中指出成年人和孩子都喜欢风铃,故 答案为


A)




17. What do we learn about many of Alexander Calder's early artworks?



四个选项均是以


They


开头的过去时句子, 因此询问的是过去发生的事情。


B)



C)


选项极为



接近,都是形容词作表 语,修饰


figures


,因此推断这里的

They


指的就是


figures(


人物


)


,该


题考查这些人物形象的相 关内容。短文中指出


Calder


的早期作品都是用线制成的马 戏团的


小人物形象,后来才转向抽象的形象,故答案为


C)




18. Where does Alexander Calder’s real passion lie?





四个选项均是

“In+


名词



构成的介词短语,


art



geometry

< p>


engineerin9


属于学科领域,因此< /p>


推测该题可能考查


Calder


在设计风 铃时应用的学科或者


Calder


本人的学科或兴趣。题目考< /p>


查的是


Calder


本人的真正热情所在 ,短文中提到他的真正爱好是艺术,故答案为


A)


< p>
