Part I
Reading Comprehension
(30%)
Directions: There are
three passages in this part. 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
blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer
Sheet.
Passage 1
Questions 1 to 5 are based
on the following passage:
Is that 6 a.m.
workout getting in the way of good sleep?
Don
’
t think your fat cells
won't notice. A new study published in
The Annals of Internal
Medicine
(a medical
journal)
finds that inadequate shut-eye has a harmful
effect on fat calls, reducing their
ability to respond to insulin
(
胰岛素
) by about 30 percent.
Over the long-term
，
this
decreased
response
could
set-the
stage
for
type-2
diabetes
(a
medical
condition
in
which
someone
has too much sugar in his or her blood),
f
atty liver disease
and
weight gain
.
The
study
adds
to
a
growing
body
of
evidence
that
there
’
s
“
an
intimate
relationship
between the
amount of sleep we get and our ability to maintain
a good
，
healthy body
weight
”
says sleep expert
Helene Emsellem
，
director of
the Center for Sleep and Wake Disorders in Chevy
Chase
，
Maryland.
(76)
But Americans don’t seem to be
gettin
g the message that we need seven
to nine hours per night. More than 1 in
5 of us
，
according to a
report form the Centers for Disease
Control and
Prevention
，
is getting six or
fewer hours of sleep per
night
，
on average.
So how did researchers study fat cells
in the Annals paper? Matthew Brady of
the University
of Chicago and a group
of colleagues selected and persuaded seven
volunteers to take part in
the research
project. They were all
young
，
thin and healthy and
agreed to sleep for eight nights in
a
sleep lab.
“
For four nights
they were allowed to stay in bed for 8.5 hours a
night
，
”
says Brady.
Then
，
a month
later
，
they came back for
four additional nights
—
but
this time they were allowed
just 4.5
hours of sleep per night. And after each
visit
，
researchers got a
sample of their fat.(77)
Brady explains
that the fat cells responded significantly to the
loss of sleep.
“
I was very
surprised
to be
honest
，
”
he says.
Bad
things
can
happen
when
fat
cells
become
less
responsive
to
insulin.
“
Fat
cells
are
actually your
friend
，
”
he says.<
/p>
“
They
’
r
e there to store lipids(
血脂
).
”
When lipids stay inside the
cells
，
your body
can utilize the fat when
you
’
re exercising or
sleeping or going about your day.
“
However
，
when fat cells
start to become insulin
resistant
，
the lipids start
to leach out of the fat
cells and rise
in the
bloodstream
，
”
Brady says.

Passage 2
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the
following passage:
The
top of the world is a wonderland. In winter, the
temperature often falls to
-30
℉
and the
sun never rises. The ocean is
surrounded by frozen ground. There are few people
or trees, but to
polar bears, the
Arctic (
北极
) is home.
(78) Polar bears have thick
fur
，
big paws and other
features that make them well
prepared
for life in their tough environment. In
fact
，
they need the Arctic
sea ice for survival. But
climate
change is causing larger and larger areas of
summer sea ice to melt (
融化
).
Experts say
that if warming patterns
continue
，
the Arctic could be
free of summer sea ice
by may
cause two-thirds of the
world
’
s 20,000 polar bears
to be gone by then too.
Polar bears
can
’
t survive for long on
land. Seals are their main source of food. The
only place
where polar bears
can hunt seals is on the
ice.
(79) Although these bears are
strong swimmers,
they
are
no
match
for
lightning
swift
seals
in
the
water.
A
polar
bear
has
brilliantly
clever
strategies to overcome this
disadvantage. In winter the bear waits motionless
beside a seal
’
s
breathing
hole
，
which is a narrow
tunnel through the ice. Often many hours pass
before the seal
comes up for air and
the bear kills it with a powerful blow of its paw.
In summer, the polar bears
that live on
land eat very little and wait for the sea ice to
return.
With the sea ice forming later in the
year and melting
earlier
，
polar bears do not
have enough
opportunity to hunt and
eat. Less sea ice makes it harder for the bears to
catch the seals. The
bears
must swim longer distances between ice packs(
大片浮冰
)
，
and
they can
’
t always make it.
The ice is also getting thinner. These
conditions can cause polar-bear cubs to become
separated
form their
mothers
, who provide them
with food.
Steven Amstrup is the chief scientist
of Polar Bears International. The group aims
to
save the
bears
and
their
home
.
“
The
more
people
who
see
polar
bears
and
understand
their
difficult
situation, the
better the chance we
’
ll
alter our warming path in time to save
them,
”
he says.

Passage 3
Questions 11 to 15
are based on the following passage:
Imagine
a
school
that
expected
its
students
to
become
literate
(
有读写能力的
)without
any
formal instruction. Most
parents would be alarmed by such an
approach
，
which would leave
their
children confused and with gaps
in their understanding. This however has been the
philosophy
on
character development in many of our schools.
Why is the development of character
seen
as somehow different from the
other skills that we teach
?
Of
course there will always be learning by
osmosis(
耳濡目染
) in any school,
but as a teacher
and primary school
head I have found that a
child
’
s moral literacy is
strengthened when they
acquire the
building blocks of good character such as
consideration, courage and honor: qualities
which are commonly known as
virtue(
美德
).
I
personally
find
that
exploring
a
virtue
over
a
two-week
period
provides
a
simple
and
effective program that
allows for the creative input of both teacher and
student and a chance for
the virtue to
embed(
使融入
) itself. Once a
lesson on a virtue such as honesty has been
completed
we
need
to
allow
time
for
children
to
practice
this
concept
just
as
would
be
the
case
with
fractions or verbs. Allowing children
to
role play
a situation
such as making up excuses to cover a
mistake can be enormously interesting,
and the drama can be frozen allowing the
characters to
be questioned about their
feelings and motives. (80) It's also a safe way
for children to experience
for
themselves how a lie usually goes out of control.
Our
role as educators is also to
look for
opportunities to help
our students as
they attempt
to strengthen their
characters. When something goes wrong we guide the
young person to the
virtue
that
will
prevent
it
from
happening
again.
For
instance,
when
a
student
thoughtlessly
disturbs
the
calm
atmosphere
of
the
library,
instead
of
a
response
such
as,
”
that
was
really
disrespectful and selfish of you!
”
we draw out from them the
required virtue:
“
When
you
’
re
walking
through the library, what virtues do you need to
use ?
”
11. Which
of the following is the main idea of this passage?
A. Teaching morals and values has been
a frequently discussed topic in the past few
years.'
P139
B.
The
author
and
his
staff
embed
virtues
into
lessons
and
school
life
to
encourage
character
development in children.
C. Kids
throughout the population face the same needs, the
same challenges, and the same
realities
in their lives.
D. Role plays are an
excellent way of getting students to practice
their English.
12. We can infer from
the first peragraph that_____.
A. there
tends to be disagreement about what character
education is
B. most parents are not
satisfied with the teaching methods adopted in
schools
C.
the
approach
to
character
education
is
generally
considered
different
from
the
approaches to other skills
D. more and more schools are adopting
strategies to improve school attendance
13. The word
“
phi
losophy

in the
first paragraph is closest in meaning to_____.

librarian
C. reporter
D

following
