Section A (10
分
)
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.
People
are
being
lured(
引诱
)
onto
Facebook
with
the
promise
of
a
fun,
free
service,
____1____
realizing that
they're paying for it by giving up plenty of
personal information. Facebook then
attempts to make money by selling their
data to advertisers that want to send___2___
(target)
messages.
Most
Facebook users don’t realize this is happening.
Even if they know what the company is
up
to,
they
still
have
no
idea
___3___
they’re
paying
for
Facebook,
because
people
don’t
really
know
what their personal details are worth.
The biggest problem, however, is that
the company keeps changing the rules. Early on,
you
could keep everything private. That
was the great thing about Facebook -- you could
create your
own
little
private
network.
Last
year,
the
company
changed
its
privacy
rules
____4____
many
things
--
your
city, your photo, your friends’ names
-- were set, by
default(
默认
), to be shared
with
everyone on the Internet.
According
to
Facebook’s
vice
president
Elliot
Schrage,
the
company
is
simply
making
changes
to
improve
its
service,
and
if
people
don’t
share
information,
they
have
a
“
___5___
(satisfying)
experience.”
Some
critics think this is more about Facebook looking
to make more money. Its original
business model, ___6___ involved
selling ads and putting them at the side of the
page, totally
failed. Who wants to look
at ads when they are connecting with their friends
online?
So
far
the
privacy
issue
___7___
(land)
Facebook
in
hot
water
in
Washington.
In
April,
Senator
Charles Schumer called on Facebook to
change its privacy policy. He also urged the
Commission
to set regulations for
social-networking sites.
I
suspect
that
whatever
Facebook
has
done
___8___
(invade)
our
privacy
is
only
the
beginning,
which is why
I’m considering
___9___
(cancel) my account. Facebook is a
handy site, but I’m
upset by the idea
that ___10___
information is in the
hands of people I don’t trust. That is
too high a price to pay.
【答案】
1. without
2. targeted
3. what
4. so that
5. less satisfying
6. which 7. has landed
8. to invade
9.
cancel(l)ing
10. my
Section B
Directions: Fill

box. Each word can be used
only once.
Note that there is one word more than you need.

D. tremendously E. effective
F.

Getting help with parenting makes a
difference -- at any age
New
Oxford
University
study
finds
that
parenting
interventions(
育儿干预
)for
helping
children
with behavior
problems are just as effective in school age, as
in younger children.
There
is
a
dominant
view
among
scientists
and
policy-makers.
They
believes,
for
the
greatest
effect,
interventions need to be ___11___
early
in life, when children’s brain function and
behavior are thought to be more
flexible. However, according to the new research,
it’s time to
stop focusing on when we
intervene with parenting, and just continue
helping children in need
of all ages.
Just published in Child Development,
the study is one of the first to ___12___ this age
assumption.
Parenting
interventions
are
a
common
and
effective
tool
for
reducing
child
behavior
problems, but studies of age effects
have produced different results until now.
A
team
led
by
Professor
Frances
Fardner
___13___
data
from
over
15,000
families
from
all
over
the world, and found no
evidence that earlier is better. Older children
benefited just as much
as
younger
ones
from
parenting
interventions
for
reducing
behavior
problems.
There
was
no
evidence
that
earlier
interventions
are
more
powerful.
This
was
based
on
___14___
data
from
more
than
150
different experiments.
What’s more, their economic analysis
fo
und that interventions with older
children were
___15___ more likely to
be cost-effective.
Professor Gardner
commented: “When there is
___16___
about behavioral difficulties in
younger
children,
our
findings
should
never
be
used
as
a
reason
to
delay
intervention,
otherwise,
children and families will suffer for
longer.” She continued, “As for
___17___ parenting
interventions for reducing behavior
problems in childhood, we should stick to the
principle,
‘it’s never too early, never
too late’, rather than ‘earlier is
better’.”
The study draws
the conclusion that it makes sense to invest in
parenting interventions for
children
at
all
ages
with
behavioral
difficulties,
because
they
are
no
more
likely
to
be
___18___
in
younger than older children, at least in the pre-
adolescents.
Of course, there’s more
work to be done. The experiments conducted were
___19___ to
pre-adolescents,
to shorter-term effects, and parent-reported
assessment of child outcomes.
Future
studies are needed that focus on adolescents,
longer-term outcomes, and using multiple
sources for ____20____ child behavior
problems.

III. Reading
Comprehension
Section A
(15
分
)
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.
Marmoset
monkeys exist on a branch of the evolutionary tree
that is distinct from the one
that led
to mans. But they constantly astonish researchers
with ____21____ behavior that seems
pretty highly evolved. Their social
organization and ____22____ practices could have
been the
model for the phrase “It takes
a village.” A dominant male and female breed, and
their babies
are carefully looked after
by extended family members who then aren't free to
breed themselves.
A new study further
____23____
the marmoset’s reputation
for admirable community values.
Researchers report that these
caregivers share their food more generously with
little ones
____24____
than
when they’re surrounded by the watchful eyes of
other community members. In
complex
societies
where
individuals
band
together
for
___25___
protection,
researchers
have
come
up
with
a
few
widely
accepted
explanations
for
selfless
behavior.
But
specific
acts,
like
sharing
a
delicious cricket(
蟋蟀
) with a
begging baby marmoset, seem to need more ___26___
explanation
One possibility is that an
individual practices ___27___ as a means of
enhancing his status
among
peers.
By
___28___
that
he
is
so
well
gifted
with
material
goods
that
he
can
give
some
away,
this
do-gooder
enhances
his
power
within
the
group.
That,
in
turn,
may
___29___
prospective
mates.
The other explanation
for charitable behavior ___30___ that kindnesses
extended to others are
simply
the
fees
of
group
membership,
which
offers
some
future
promise
of
a
chance
to
mate.
Failure
to
share would result in exclusion from the group and
a loss of ___31___ partners. Scientists
call
this
the
“pay
to
stay”
model.
Importantly,
for
both
of
these
models
to
work,
acts
of
kindness
must have a(n) ___32___. That suggests
you would see more sharing in group settings; away
from
judging eyes, a caregiver might be
more likely to keep food for himself or herself.
And yet, in
2,581 tests conducted with
31 adult and 14 baby marmosets, the ___33___
appeared to be true
Anthropologists
(
人类学家
)
from
the
University
of
Zurich
carefully
documented
how
often,
in
groups
and in conditions that found caregiver and baby
separated from the crowd, an adult would
share
his
or
her
cricket.
When
alone
with
a
baby
begging
for
a
taste,
adult
marmosets
shared
their
cricket 85% of the
time. When in a group, caregivers offered up their
cricket 67% of the
time.”
Our results show that helping in common
marmosets is not driven by reputation management
or
___34___
avoidance,
“
the
study
authors
reported
Rather,
it
is
driven
by
a
deep
-down
motivation
to help that is
more ___35___
expressed when
individuals are alone with young.”

Section B
(22
分
)
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)
One day a little
boy, annoyed by his father's decision for him to
become a grocer, decides
that he will
never grow up. Grocery is a dull job and staying a
child is his protest against it.
This
strange little boy-man, never separated from a tin
drum he is always banging, is our hero
of the table. It covers three crucial
decades of 20th century history. Little Oscar
Matzerath
will experience love, war and
imprisonment in a story that paints an
unforgettable picture of
Central Europe
between 1923 and 1954.
This is an
overview of the story of
The Tin
Drum
, the most famous work by the
German
Nobel-
winning author
Günter Grass, who passed away on April 13 at the
age of 87.
The Tin Drum
also
established
Grass
as
one
of
the
leading
authors
of
Germany.
It
also
set
a
high
bar
of
comparison
for
all
of
his
following
works.
Just
as
his
best-known
fiction
is
both
the
story
of
an
individual
and
of an age, so it is that Grass' life cannot be
understood without referring to the history
of Germany. He was called
the Second World War (1933-1945) that
many would have rather forgotten.
This
sometimes
made
him
unpopular.
Many
Germans
did
not
agree
in
1989
when
he
said
that
East
Germany and West Germany should remain
separate, as a united country would be too strong
and
threaten the world's peace. And
Grass was called a
hypocrite
when he revealed in his memoir
Peeling
the Onion
(2006) that he had been a
teenage member of the Waffen-SS, the
Nazi
(
