Passage
One
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the
following passage.
Have you ever
wondered where the first
doughnut(
炸面圈
)was made? Who
thought up the idea of a fried cake
with a hole in the center?
No one knows
for sure who made the first doughnut. Some people
think that
doughnut probably began in
the 1800s as Dutch
“
olykoeks
”
or
“
oily
cakes.
”
In
those
days, a cook would not want to waste any scraps of
food. Leftover pieces
of bread dough
(
生面团
) were put into hot oil
and fried. Olykoeks were tasty on
the
outside, but soft and uncooked in the center.
Some people say that the mother of a
New England sea captain invented the
first
real
doughnut.
Her
name
was
Elizabeth
Gregory.
She
replaced
the
soft
center with spices and
nuts. But, Elizabeth
’
s son,
Captain Gregory, did not like
nuts.
He
punched
out
the
center,
and
the
consequence
was
the
first
hole
in
a
doughnut.

1 / 1
Others say the real story
is that Captain Gregory had difficulty steering
his
ship
while
trying
to
eat
doughnut.
He
asked
the
ship
’
s
cook
to
make
his
doughnuts with holes so
he could hang them on the steering wheel! Others
think
that Captain Gregory saw holed
cakes in Europe and brought the idea back to
America with him.
During
world
war
I,
homesick
American
soldiers
in
Europe
were
served
doughnuts by the
Salvation Army. These brave women volunteering for
the job
were called
“
Doughnut
Girls.
”
They often worked in
dangerous conditions near
the
soldiers,
so
the
Doughnut
Girls
wore
helmets
and
uniforms.
The
women
made doughnut cutters
out of a large can with a smaller can inside it to
cut out
the hole. They could set up a
kettle of hot oil to fry the dough almost
anywhere.
In the 1920s,
doughnut machines were invented. Doughnuts were
produced
faster and easier than ever
before. Still, many people preferred to make their
favorite doughnuts at home.

.
A.

Girls during world war I?

worked aboard a ship .
B. They worked
near battlefields

Passage Two
Questions 6 to 10 are based
on the following passage.
It
is
a
blow
for
the
Ugly
Bettys
and
Plain
Janes
——
research
shows
that
good
looks lead to better pay. A study of 4,000
young men and women found
that beauty boosted pay checks more
than intelligence. Those judged to be the
more attractive earned up to 10 percent
more than their less attractive friends and
colleagues. Applied to the average
salary of
￡
25,000 a year,
the
“
plainness
2
1 / 1
penalty(
处罚
)
”
would make a
difference of
￡
2,500 a year
——
or around
￡
50
a week.
It is unclear what is
behind the phenomenon but it may be that beauty
creates
confidence. The self-confident
may appear to be doing better than they are and
will not hesitate about asking for a
pay rise.
Researcher
Jason
Fletcher,
of
Yale
University
in
the
U.S.,
rated
the
attractiveness of the 4,000 men and
women. Just over half were judged average,
while
7
percent
were
felt
to
be
very
attractive
and
8
percent
were
judged
unattractive or very
unattractive. The volunteers also sat an IQ test
and reported
their salary. It became
clear that pay scales were far from fair. For
instance, a 14-
point increase on the IQ
score was associated with a 3 to 6 percent
increase in
wage. But being of above-
average looks increased pay by 5 to 10 percent .
For a plain person to be
paid the same as a very attractive one , they
would
have to be 40 percent brighter,
the journal Economics Letters reports.
Dr Fletcher
said:
“
The results do show
that people
’
s looks have an
impact on
their wages and it can be
very important.
”
is the
“
plainness
penalty
”
?
A.
To
be paid less for being ordinarily-looking.
B.
To
be laughed at for being ordinarily-looking.
C.
To
be fired for being ordinarily-looking.
D. To be questioned for being
ordinarily-looking.
’
s
the average annual salary of a good-
looking person?
A.
￡
2,500
B.
￡
25,000
C.
￡
22,500
-looking
people are usually paid more probably because
D.
￡
27,500
.
A. they look smarter
B. they have higher degrees
C. they are better at pleasing others
D. they are more confident
many people were rated as very attractive in Jason
Fletcher
’
s study?
B. About 4,000
C. About
2,000
D. About 320
A. About 280
of the
following best summarizes the main idea of the
passage ?
A.
IQ is less
important than appearance.
B.
Confidence
makes people prettier.
C.
Good looks
earn an extra penny.
D. How Plain Janes
get a higher salary.
Passage Three
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the
following passage.
Were you
constantly bored as a child? Maybe that helped you
to develop
your ability to
be creative.
3
1 / 1
Boredom
can
be
a
good
thing
for
children,
according
to
Dr
Teresa
Belton,
researcher at the
University of East Anglia
’
s
School of Education and Lifelong
Learning.
After
interviewing
authors,
artists
and
scientists
in
Britain,
she
’
s
reached the conclusion that cultural
expectations that children should be
constantly active could block the
development of their imagination.
British actress and writer Meera Syal
grew up in a small mining village with
few distractions. The researcher
said:
“
Lack of things to do
urged her to talk to
people she
wouldn
’
t otherwise have
engaged with and try activities she
wouldn
’
t,
under
other circumstances, have experienced, such as
talking to elderly neighbors
and
learning to bake cakes.
”
Belton added:
“
Boredom made her write.
Meera Syal kept a diary from a
young
age, filling it with observations, short stories,
poems.
”
The
researcher
didn
’
t
ignore
the
old
saying
the
devil
finds
work
for
idle
hands, though. Belton
pointed out that young people who
don
’
t have the interior
resources to deal with boredom
creatively may end up smashing up bus shelters
or taking cars out for a joyride.
How
about
watching
TV
and
videos
on
the
computer?
The
researcher
believes that
nothing replaces standing and staring at things
and observing your
surroundings.
It
’
s
the
sort
of
thing
that
stimulates
the
imagination,
she
said,
while
the
screen
“
tends to
short circuit that process and the development of
creative
capacity.
”
Dr
Belton concluded:
“
For the
sake of creativity, perhaps we need to slow
down and stay offline from
time to time.
”
11. Dr Teresa Belton did her research
by
.
A.
studying
cultural differences
B.
interviewing
professionals
C.
keeping a diary
D. observing
the surroundings
of the
following best describes the village where Meera
Syal grew up?
A. Modern and
open
B. Tiny and unexciting
C. Poor and
underdevelopment
D. Remote
and violent
expression
“
the devil finds work for
idle hands
”
probably means
that
people are more likely
to
?
A.
do what they
should not do if they meet devils.
B.
achieve
nothing if they work with devils
C.
do more work
if they didn
’
t work hard
when they were young. D.
get involved
in trouble if they have nothing to do with their
time.
4
1 / 1
is
Dr Belton
’
s advice for
youngsters ?
A.
Observe the
world around them.
B.
Get
information online from time to time.
C.
Remain
constantly active.
D. Read as many
books as possible.
of the
following is the best title for the passage?
A.
Deal with boredom wisely.
B.
Learn from a
young age.
C.
Enjoy
village
life.
D. Forget old sayings.
Passage Four
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the
following passage:
During
her junior year of high school, Candice
Backus
’
s teacher handed her
a
sheet and instructed the 17-year-old
to map out her future financial life. Backus
pretended to buy a car, rent an
apartment, and apply for a credit card. Then, she
and
her
classmates
played
the
“
stock
market
game,
”
investing
the
hypothetical(
假设的
)
earnings from their hypothetical jobs in the
market in the
fateful
fall
of
2008.
“
Our
pretend
investments
crashed
,
”
Backus
says,
still
horrified.
“
We
felt what actual shareholders were
feeling.
”
That
pain
of
earning
and
losing
money
is
a
feeling
that
public
school
increasingly
want
to
teach.
Forty
states
now
offer
some
types
of
financial
instruction at the
elementary or high-school level, including lessons
in balancing
checkbooks(
支票本
) and buying stock in
math and social-studies classes. The
interest
in
personal-finance
classes
has
risen
since
2007
when
bank
failures
became a regular
occurrence.
Rather than
teach investment strategies, these courses offer a
basic approach to
handling
money:
Don
’
t
spent
what
you
don
’
t
have.
Put
part
of
your
monthly
salary
into
a
saving
account,
and
invest
in
the
stock
market
for
the
long-term
rather than short-term gains. For
Backus, this means dividing her earnings from
her part-time job at a fast-food
restaurant into separate envelopes for paying
bills,
spending, and saving.
“
Money is so hard to make
but so easy to spend,
”
she
says
one weekday after school.
After Backus finished her
financial classes, she opened up a savings account
at her local bank and started to think
more about how she and her family would
pay for college.
“
She just has a better
understanding of money and how it affects
the world ,
”
says
her mother, Darleen. All of this talk of money can
make Backus
worry, she says, but
luckily, she feels prepared to face it.

To stay economically competitive on a
