your answer on the Answer Sheet.
Passage One
Five or six year ago, I attended a
lecture on the science of attention. A philosopher
who
conducts research in the medical
school was talking about attention blindness, the
basic
feature of the human brain that,
when we concentrate intensely on one task, causes
us to miss
just about everything else.
Because we can’t see what we can’t see, our
lecture was
determined to catch us in
the act. He had us watch a video of six people
tossing basketball
back and forth,
three in white shirts and three in black, and our
task was to keep track only of
the
tosses among the people in white. The tape rolled,
and everyone began counting.
Everyone
except me, I’m
dyslexic(
有阅读障碍的
), and the
moment I saw that grainy tape
with the
confusing basketball tosses, I knew I wouldn’t be
able to keep track of their
movements,
so I let my mind wander. My curiosity was aroused,
though, when about 30
seconds into the
tape, a gorilla(
大猩猩
) came in
among the players. She (we later learned a
female student was in the gorilla suit)
start at the camera, thumped her chest, and the
strode

away while
they continued passing the balls.
When the tape stopped, the philosopher
asked how many people had counted at least d a
dozen basketball tosses. Hands went up
all over. He then asked who had counted 13, 14,
and
congratulated those who’d scored
the perfect 15. The he asked, “And who saw the
gorilla?”
I
raised my hand and was surprised to discover I was
the only person at my table and one of
only three or four in the large room to
do so. He’d set me up, trapping us in our own
attention
blindness. Yes, there had
been a trick, but he wasn’t the one who had played
it on us. By
concentrating so hard on
counting, we had managed to miss the gorilla in
the midst.
21. This passage
describes_______
A. basketball
B. an experiment
C. a
philosopher
D. a gorilla
22.
‘’Attentions blindness” refer
to_______.
A. the fact that
one can’t see what one can’t see
B. seeing one thing while missing all
else.
C. keeping track of just about
everything
D. the condition of being
blind to details
23. “Catch us in the
act” (Para. 1) is closest in meaning of “find us
________”
A. doing something
improper
B. sleeping during the lecture
C. counting the basketball tosses
D. failing to notice something within
sight
24. How many people in the room
saw the gorilla in the video?
A. 1
B. 3 or 4
C.13 or 14
D.15

Passage Two
There are few sadder sights than a pile
of fan letter, lovingly decorated with hand
drawings,
suffering in a bin. The
sparkly envelopes were addressed to Taylor Swift,
a pop star much
beloved by teenage and
pre-
teen girls. “Dear Taylor”, read one
discard message, “I love you
so much!!
You’re the best! And you’re really beautiful and
cute!! I’m really enjoying your
songs
This, along with hundreds of other
similar letters sent from around the world, was
discovered
in Nashville recycling
disposal unit by a local woman. Swift’s management
was quick to
reassure her admirers that
they had been thrown out accidentally. The
response may come as a
disappointment
to any devotee who imagine, as they compose their
letter, that Swift make
time to view
each one personally
Dealing with pile
of fan mail is, however, an administrative burden
for most celebrities.
While some
celebrities do like to go through their mail
personally, the majority simply do not
have time. But the fact f their
correspondence is something most committed fans
will not wish
to dwell on, say Lynn
Zubernis, an expert in the psychology of fandom at
West Chester
University.
“There’s this little bit of every fan
that thinks theirs will be the
one that
stands out-
it’s not an
expectation, but a hope that theirs
will be seen by the celebrity.”
While the relationship between the fan
and the celebrity may exist only in the mind of
the
former, it sterns from a deeply-
rooted human need for community and belonging,
Zubernis
believe. As a result, even
receiving a mass-produced letter of acknowledgment
and a photo
stamped with a reproduced
signature can be a powerful experience.
“People have a tremendous need to
connect with the person they are
idolizing
(
偶像化
),”
she
says, “They
can’t ring up and say, ‘ Can we have
coffee?’ It’s not about the
autograph(
签名
).
It’s about the moment of
connection.”

Passage Three
Facelift(
紧肤术
)
followed by a week on a beach in Thailand? Hip
surgery with a side of
shopping in
Singapore? Over the last 10 years, Asia’s rise on
the medical tourism scene has
精品文档

been quick.
Eastern nations dominate the global scene. Now
Bali wants a slice of the action.
The Indonesian island recently opened
its first facility specifically targeting medical
tourists with package and service, Bali
International Medical Centre (BIMC) Nusa Dua.
BIMC already has an international
hospital in Kuta, which opened in 1998.
The new internationally
managed facility offers surgical and non-surgical
cosmetic
procedures and dental care.
Unlike most of the
region’s hospitals, BIMC is designed to feel more
like a spa or
resort(
度假村
) than
a medical facility.
The
50-bed hospital has a 24-hour medical emergency
entrance and hotel-like lobby at the
front of the building servicing the
hospital’s medicals, and dental
centers.
If
you’re a celebrity who doesn’t want everyone to
know you’re here for a bit of lipo (
吸
脂术
)
，
no
worries. There’s private entrance that
leads to the CosMedic Centre, which offers
views of a golf course.
BIMC has even teamed up with the nearby
Courtyard by Marriott Bali, which provides
specific after-care service like
tailor-made meals and wellness programs for
patient.
Latest
technology and cool interiors are a star, but
breaking into a regional industry that
already has some of the world’s top
international hospital will be tough, says Joesf
Woodman,
CEO of U.S-based medical
travel consumer guide Patients Beyond
Borders(PBB).
“As a
newcomer, Bali faces stiff competition from nearby
international healthcare
providers. To
compete, Bali will need to demonstrate a quality
level of care and promote its
services
to the region and the world. On the positive side,
Bali is blessed as one of the
region’s
safest, most popular tourist destinations, with a
built –
in potential to attract medical
travelers.”
The Indonesian island couldn’t have
picked a better time to get into the game, says
PBB.
“The world population
is aging and becoming wealthier at rate s that
surpass the availability
of quality
healthcare resource,” says the company’s
research.
31. What does
“medical tourism” (Para. 1) probably
mean?
A. Treating a disease
during a trip
B. Attracting patients
with package tours
精品文档

C. Cosmetic
treatment and a tour in one
D. Turning
hospital into tourist attractions
32.
How does BIMC differ from regular hospitals?
A. It offers cosmetic surgery
B. It has better environment and
services.
C. It accepts international
patients.
D. It has more beds and
longer service hours.
33. BIMC wishes
to attract celebrities with its______
A. privacy measures
B.
first-class design
C. free golf course
D. tailor-made meals
34.
According to Woodman, BIMC____
A.
threatens its regional competitors
B.
will soon take the lead in the industry
C. needs further improvement
D. faces both challenges and
opportunities
35. What can be concluded
from the last paragraph?
A. The
population is developing faster than medical
resources.
B. Healthcare is hardly
available for the aging population
C.
The world is in need of more quality medical care.
D. The world population is becoming
older and richer.
Passage Four
For many of us, asking
for help is a difficult concept. We may feel as if
we are admitting a
weakness that world
would not have known about, had we not asked for
help.
Ironically, it’s
been my experience that people who are able to
deliver well
-positioned
requests for help are seen as very
strong individuals. When they demonstrate the
humility(
谦
卑
) to
ask for help, they earn the respect of others.
People who receive a heartfelt request for
