Section A

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.

The Importance of Accessibility Awareness

At a recent meeting, people with disabilities talked about their lives. I was amazed to hear

about the challenges (21)_____(face) by people with physical disabilities. However, (22)_______

amazed me most was the great importance of education about handicap (

残障

) facilities.

Two women who (23)______(use) wheelchairs all their life are two important members of

the

National

Group

for

Disabled

Persons,

devoted

to

(24)

_______(raise)

awareness

about

disabilities. They educate about all the facilities for people with disabilities. One big concern is

the people who take advantage of aids, such as handicap parking spaces. So people (25)_______

disabilities need to be educated about these facilities. And the meeting focused on educating the

public.

Some handicap spots

have extra room next to them, marked with the “No Parking” signs.

“(26)______ ______ ______ I'm not in the spot, I can take the no

-

parking area next to it,” some

people say. However, the women (27)______ use a wheelchair disagree to this. The space exists

to allow someone in a wheelchair to have room to get in or out of their car. If there is a car in that

space, the handicap parking spot is no longer useful.

Some

walkways

have

handrails

next

to

them

to

help

those

who

require

extra

assistance.

(28)______ it is a blind person seeking guidance or an elderly person seeking support, the rail is

there

for

walking.

Sometimes

the

rail

is

blocked,

by

a

parked

bicycle

for

instance,

and

consequently

made

useless.

As

with

the

parking

spot,

this

is

more

likely

a

case

of

lack

of

education. People who (29)______(inform) of the rail’s use would be less likely to mistake it for

a bike rack(

停车架

). Meeting some of the people who are affected by the lack of education about

facilities

made

me

see

that

there

is

work

to

be

done.

If

more

people

were

educated

about

the

proper

uses

of

accommodations,

there

would

be

physical disabilities.

only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Could It Be a Work by Rembrandt (

伦勃朗

) ?

Rembrandt is the most famous of the seventeenth-century Dutch painters. However, there

are __31__ whether some paintings attributed(

归属

) to Rembrandt were actually painted by him.

One

such

painting

is

known

as

attributed

to

Rembrandt

because

of

its

style,

and

indeed

the

representation of the woman’s face is very much like that of portraits know to be by Rembrandt.

But there are problems with painting that __32__ it could not be a work by Rembrandt.

First, there is something inconsistent(

不一致

) about the way the woman in the __33__ is

dressed. She is wearing a white linen cap of a kind that only servants would wear---yet the coat

she is wearing has a __34__ fur collar that no servant could afford. Rembrandt, who was known

for his attention to the details

of his subjects’ clothing, would not have been __35__ of such an

inconsistency.

Second, Rembrandt was a master of painting light and __36__, but in this paining these

elements do not fit together. The face appears to be illuminated(

照亮

) light __37__ onto it from

below. But below the face is the dark fur collar, which would absorb light rather than reflect it. So

the face should appear partially in shadow, which is not how it appears. Rembrandt would never

have made such an error.

Finally, examination of the back of the painting __38__ that it was painted on a panel made

of several pieces of wood __39__ together. Although Rembrandt often painted on wood panels(

面

板

), no painting known to by Rembrandt was painted in this way.

For

these

reasons,

the

painting

was

__40__

from

the

official

catalog

of

Rembrandt’s

paintings in the 1930s.

Section A

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.

Human beings are, in principle, poor at considering background information when making

individual decisions. At first glance, this might seem like a strength that _ 41_ people the ability

to make judgments which are independent of __42_ factors. But in a world of quotas(

配额

) and

limits- ___43____ , the world in which most professional people operate- Dr Simonsohn reported

in

Psychological

Science

that

it

was

actually

a

weakness

since

an

inability

to

consider

the

big

picture

was

leading

decision-makers

to

be

biased

（有偏见）

by

the

daily

samples

they

were

working with. For example, he supposed that a judge fearful of appearing too soft on crime might

be

more

likely

to

send

someone

to

prison

__44

_he

had

already

sentenced

five

or

six

other

defendants

（被告）

only to forced community service on that day.

To

__45__this

idea,

Dr

Simonsohn

and

his

assistants

turned

their

attention

to

the

university-admissions process. Admissions officers interview hundreds of applicants every year,

at a rate of 4% a day, and can offer entry to about 40% of them. In theory, the ___46___ of an

applicant should not depend on the few others___47____ randomly for interview during the same

day, but Dr Simonsohn suspected the truth was otherwise.

He

studied

the

results

of

9,323

MBA

interviews

__48____

by

31

admissions

officers.

The

interviewers

had

rated

applicants

on

a

scale

of

one

to

five.

This

scale

_49_

numerous

factors,

including

communication

skills,

personal

drive,

team-working

ability

and

personal

accomplishments, into consideration. The scores from this rating were _50_ used in conjunction

with an applicant’s score on the GMAT, a standardized exam which is _51_out of 8

00 points, to

make a decision on whether to accept him or her.

Dr Simonsoph found if the score of the previous candidate in a daily series of interviewees

was

0.75

points

or

more

higher

than

that

of

the

one

_52__

that,

then

the

score

for

the

next

applicant would _53_ by an average of 0.075 points. This might sound small, but to reverse the

effects of such a decrease, a candidate would need 30 more GMAT points than would otherwise

have been necessary.

As for why people behave this way,

Dr Simonsoph proposes that after accepting a number

of

strong

candidates,

interviewers

might

form

the

illogical

expectation

that

a

___54_____

candidate “is due”. Regardless of the reason, if this sort of thinking proves to have a similar effect

on the judgments of those in other fields, such as law and medicine, it would be responsible for

far worse things than the ___55___ of qualified business- school candidates.

Roald Dahl

–

the author who entertained people with classics like

Matilda, Charlie and the

Chocolate Factory and James and the Giant Peach

–

would have been 100 years old this year.

Roald

Dahl

is

most

famous

for

the

books

he

wrote

for

children,

but

he

also

wrote

novels

and

short stories for adults, screenplays, and non-fiction, too!

Roald Dalh was born near Cardiff, in Wales in 1916. His parents were from Norway, and

they named him after Roald Amundsen, the famous Norwegian explorer. Ronald was sent off to

boarding school when he was only nine years old. He was very homesick, and had a hard time

obeying the strict teachers and the headmaster. In those days, teachers would sometimes hit their

teachers! Later on, Ronald integrated this fear and d

istrust of adults into many of his children’s

books.

During World War II, Ronald joined the Royal Air Force and flew missions over Africa, the

Mediterranean, and the Middle East. At one point, his plane crashed in the Libyan Desert. He was

temporarily

blinded, and stranded in

the middle of nowhere with

a cracked skull

and a broken

nose. Fortunately, he was rescued, and within a few months had made a complete recovery. After

his injuries forced him to leave the Air Force, Roald began writing. His first published piece was

a magazine article about his plane crash. During the 1950s, he became an accomplished writer of

short stories for adults. These stories usually featured mystery, suspense, and a twist ending.

In 1961, Roald published

James and the Giant Peach

, which tells the story of a young boy

who attempts to escape from his two nasty, abusive aunts. The boy finally gets away by sailing

across

the

ocean

inside

a

magical

giant

peach

and

befriends

the

giant

bugs

that

live

inside

it.

James and the Giant Peach

was promoted by the bedtime stories Roald would make up for his

young daughters. He said that it was a challenge to keep them interested and attentive -- he had to

make his stories funny, exciting, and original. In 1964, he wrote his most famous book --

charlie

and

the

Chocolate

Factory

,

in

which

a

poor

boy

wins

a

“golden

ticket”

to

tour

a

mysterious

world.
