【原文】Linda was running late. But as she hurried down the subway stairs, she started to feel uncomfortably warm. By the time she got to the platform, Linda felt weak and tired—maybe it hadn’t been a good idea to give blood the night before, she thought. She rested herself against a post close to the tracks.
Several yards away, Frank and his girlfriend, Jennifer, were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of buying. But then they heard the scream, followed by someone yelling, "Oh my god, she fell in!" Frank didn’t hesitate. He jumped down to the tracks and ran toward the body lying on the rails. "No! Not you!" His girlfriend screamed after him.
By the time Frank reached Linda he could feel the tracks shaking and see the light coming. It was hard to lift her. But he managed to raise her to the platform so that bystanders could hold her by the arms and drag her away from the edge.
Questions:
What was the most probable cause for Linda’s weakness
How did Frank save Linda according to the passage
What is the passage mainly about

【原文】Good evening! Now, I know many of you are excited about the idea of getting paid to travel the world and see the sights. But remember, traveling isn’t all fun and games. It is hard work too. I remember when I was in Egypt to look at the pyramids. Now, of course they are fascinating—they are over 4,000 years old—but remember, Egypt is mostly desert and the temperature is often over forty-five degrees! So, the weather can be a problem.
And several years later, I was traveling down the Yangtze River in China with some photographers, and we constantly had engine trouble with our boat, so we couldn’t steer along the 6,380-kilometer river. Instead, we had to abandon our journey after just 2,150, which was a major disappointment.
The last journey I want to tell you about was the most rewarding. We went to Angel Falls, the tallest waterfall in the world. We backpacked for seventeen days through the jungles of Venezuela to get there. But when they finally came into view, with their breathtaking drop of 807 meters, it was incredible! So, remember, being a travel writer may sound like an amazing career, and it is certainly rewarding, but you have to be prepared for every possibility!
Questions:
14. What forced the speaker to stop his journey down the Yangtze River
15. What does the speaker think of his job
16. What might be the speaker's career
II. Grammar and Vocabulary

Could a hug a day keep the doctor away The answer may be a loud “yes!” Besides helping you feel close and connected to people you care about, it turns out that hugs can also bring lots of health benefits to your body and mind. Believe it or not, a warm hug might even help you avoid getting sick this winter.
In a recent study involving over 400 healthy adults, researchers from Carnegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania examined the effects of perceived social support and the receipt of hugs on the participants’ developing the common cold after being exposed to the virus. People who perceived greater social support were less likely to come down with a cold, and the researchers calculated that the stress-reducing effects of hugging explained about 32 percent of that beneficial effect. Even among those who got a cold, the ones who felt greater social support and received more hugs had less severe symptoms.
“Hugging protects people who are under stress from the increased risk for colds that is usually associated with stress,” notes Sheldon Cohen, a professor of psychology at Carnegie. “Hugging is a marker of a very close relationship and helps to cause the feeling that others are there to help in the face of difficulties.”
Some experts attribute the stress-reducing, health-related benefits of hugging to the release of oxytocin（催产素）, often called “the bonding hormone”(亲密荷尔蒙), because it promotes attachment（依恋）in relationships, including that between mothers and their newborn babies. Oxytocin is made mainly in the central lower part of the brain, and some of it is released into the bloodstream. But some of it remains in the brain, where it influences mood, behavior and physiology.

III. Reading Comprehension (43%)
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.
Should you listen to music when you work
Do you like to listen to music when you work
Ask this question at a party, and you’ll probably get (37)_______ responses. Some will say they love it, claiming that it improves their performance; others will say they find it distracting (分散注意力的) and cannot work (38)_______ with music playing in the background.
Interestingly enough our research has found that both of these viewpoints can be true. It just (39)_______ on what sort of work you’re doing.
In a recent study, we brought participants into our lab to perform a variety of tasks. They included a(n) (40)_______ task---searching through word lists and crossing out words containing the letter “a” and a more difficult task---memorizing word pairs and (41)_______ word to its partner. Some participants completed all of the tasks in silence, (42)_______ others completed the tasks with instrumental music that was either loud or soft, and either simple or complex, the latter meaning music with more instruments being played. Several key findings (43)_______ from our study.
We found that participants who listened to simple music or no music performed about the same on the easy task. However, participants who listened to (44)_______ music performed best on the easy task.
On the contrary, participants performed worse on the more difficult task when they listened to any music, regardless of complexity or volume, compared to those who didn’t listen to any music.
How should we (45)_______ these findings
We suggest that people have limited mental resources from which both (46)_______ and tasks can draw. We can become (47)_______ and our minds may wander when these resources are not fully used. But we also can become over-excited and (48)_______ when these resources are used up.
Not surprisingly, we typically need to use fewer of our mental resources when we perform easy tasks, whereas demanding tasks require more brainpower. However, because we might be less (49)_______ during easier tasks, there’s a greater risk of drifting off（迷迷糊糊睡着）. Music might give us the extra (50) _______ we need to overcome the monotony ( 单调). However, difficult tasks already demand lots of our resources. Listening to music can become too much.
So best (51)_______ should appear when we strike “sweet spot”, which may depend on the type of music and the type of task.

Section B
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)
I’ve worked in the factories surrounding my hometown every summer since I graduated from high school, but making the transition between school and full-time blue-collar work during the break never gets any easier. For a student like me who considers any class before noon to be uncivilized, getting to a factory by 6 o'clock each morning is torture(折磨). My friends never seem to understand why I’m so relieved to be back at school or that my summer vacation has been anything but a vacation.
There are few people as self-confident as a college student who had never been out in the real world. People my age always seem to overestimate the value of their time and knowledge. In fact, all the classes did not prepare me for my battles with the machine I ran in the plant, which would jam whenever I absent-mindedly put in a part backward or upside down.
The most stressful thing about blue-collar life is knowing your job could disappear overnight. Issues like downsizing and overseas relocation had always seemed distant to me until my co-workers told me that the unit I was working in would shut down within six months and move to Mexico, where people would work for 60 cents an hour.
After working 12-hour shifts in a factory, the other opinions have become only too clear. When I’m back at the university, skipping classes and turning in lazy rewrites seems too irresponsible after seeing what I would be doing without school. All the advice and public-service announcements about the value of an education that used to sound stale now ring true.
These lessons I’m learning, however valuable, are always tinged with a sense of guilt. Many people pass their lives in the places I briefly work, spending 30 years where I spend only two months at a time. “This job pays well, but it’s hell on the body,” said one co-worker. “Study hard and keep reading,” she added.
My experiences in the factories have inspired me to make the most of my college years before I enter the real world for good.
52. What does the author think of his summer days while at college
A. They offered him a chance to know more people.
B. They brought him nothing but torture.
C. They were no holiday for him at all.
D. They were a relief from his hard work at school.
53. What does the author say about college students
A. They are not confident of their future.
B. They think too highly of themselves.
C. They have little interest in blue-collar life.
D. They expect too much from the real world.
54. In what important way has the author’s work experience changed him
A. He came to appreciate his college education.
B. He learned to be more practical.
C. He acquired a sense of urgency.
D. He came to respect blue-collar workers.
55. Why does the author feel somewhat guilty
A. He looks down upon the mechanical work at the assembly line.
B. He has not done much to help his co-workers at the factory.
C. He has stayed at school just for the purpose of escaping from the real world.
D. He realizes there is a great divide between his life and that of blue-collar workers.
(B)
Planning a visit to the UK Here we help with ways to cut your costs.
AVOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost 169.15 at . A week later, the same room cost 118.15.
If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid—or you're looking for a big event to pass your time—check out sites such as Whatsonwhen.com, which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.
STAY AWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.
Don't be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge's Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was 95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was 75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just 62.95.
LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city central buildings. A great example is the historic O'Neill Flat on Edinburgh's Royal Mile, available for 420 for five days in late September, with room for four adults.
GET ON A BIKE London's 'Boris bikes' have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programs that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs.
Among the smaller cities with their own programs are Newcastle (casual members pay around 1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or 5 per day).
56. The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may __________.
A. cause travelers to pay more for accommodation
B. help travelers pass time
C. allow travelers to make flexible plans
D. attract lots of travelers to the UK
57. “Farringdon” in Paragraph 5 is most probably ___________.
A. the name of a travel agency B. a hotel away from the train station
C. an ideal holiday destination D. the tube line to Covent Garden
58. The main purpose of the passage is __________.
A. to show visitors the importance of self-help
B. to tell visitors how to book in advance
C. to offer visitors some money-saving tips
D. to supply visitors with hotel information
(C)
In many countries of the world, people can confidently tell you the meaning of their town or city, but most people who live in Manchester, Oxford or Birmingham would not be able to explain what the name of their city means. The name of every British town and city, however, has a long history.
Two thousand years ago, most people living in Britain were Celts. Even the word “Britain” is Celtic. Then the Romans arrived and built camps which became cities called “castra”. This is why there are so many place names in England which end in “-chester” or “-caster”— Manchester, for example.
The Romans never reached Wales or Scotland, and many place names there are Celtic. For example, Welsh place names that begin with “Llan” come from the Celtic word for church.
After the Romans left Britain, it was attacked by tribes called the Anglo-Saxons, who were from the area of Europe that is now Germany and Holland. Without the Roman army, it was impossible to protect the country from these people. The names of their villages often ended in “-ham” or “-ton”. Some got their name from the leader of the village, so Birmingham, for example, means “Beormund’s village”.
The Anglo-Saxons were farmers and the landscape was very important to them, so we have villages called Upton (“village on a hill”— a good place to build a village) and Moreton (“village by lake”, where floods could make life tough). Place names that end in “-ford” (a place where you could cross a river) also describe the location of Anglo-Saxon villages.
Twelve hundred years ago, the Vikings came to England from Scandinavia. They traded with the Anglo-Saxons but lived in their own villages. These often ended in “-by” or “-thorpe”. The name “Kirkby” means “a village with a church” and Scunthorpe was the village of a man called Skuma.
Finally, in 1066, England became Norman — the Normans gave us the place name “grange”, which means farm.
And how about London Experts cannot agree. The Romans called the city Londinium, but they were not the first inhabitants. People once believed that the United Kingdom’s capital city got its name from the castle of a King called Lud, but this is very unlikely. Our guess today is that the name comes from a Celtic word meaning a fast-flowing river. However, like a number of British place names, its history is lost in time.
59. According to the passage, Stratford-upon-Avon is most likely a town _______.
A. on a hill B. near a castle
C. built beside a river D. with a church
60. Which of the following shows the correct order of the arrival of inhabitants in Britain
A. The Celts—The Romans—The Vikings—The Normans—The Anglo Saxons.
B. The Romans—The Celts—The Vikings—The Anglo Saxons—The Normans.
C. The Celts—The Romans—The Anglo Saxons—The Vikings—The Normans.
D. The Romans—The Anglo Saxons—The Celts—The Normans—The Vikings.
61. According to the passage, where did the name for London come from
A. It is puzzling and hard to confirm for sure.
B. It comes from the term for a fast-flowing river.
C. The name is short for Londinium.
D. The name is from the castle of a King.
Section C
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with NO MORE THAN 10 words.
How to read a poem
Poetry is a combination of “sound” and “sense”. More than any other type of literature, it usually implies a deeper meaning beyond the words on the page. So, how to reveal this hidden dimension
First, follow your ears. While you may ask “What does it mean ” as you begin reading a poem, it is better to ask “How does it sound ” Even if its true meaning appears to be beyond your grasp, you can always say something about how the poem sounds when you read it aloud. Are there any repeated words, rhymes or other special effects All of these are good qualities to notice, and they may lead you to a better understanding of the poem in the end.
Second, approach the poem as if you were an explorer in an unfamiliar landscape. Ask some basic questions about the poem. Who is talking Who is being talked to What is being described Is there a sense of place Are there other people or objects there As you explore the poem, you will begin to see images in your mind. What are those images, and what happens when they are put together As you slowly explore your surroundings, you will start to dig up clues that give you a greater understanding of the poem.
You cannot really understand a poem that you have only read once. If you are still struggling to interpret the meaning of a poem even with much painstaking effort, just have some patience. Sometimes reading a poem can be a lifelong job. So if you do not get it, set the poem aside and come back to it later. Poems that are easy to understand are often less interesting than those that constantly reveal deeper and previously unrecognized meanings.
Finally, remember that you do not have to fully understand a poem to appreciate it. You might need to abandon logical thinking to discover its true inner beauty. As long as the journey of poetry reading makes you feel something, it will have been worth your effort.
