The hedgehogs(刺猬), (26)_____(realize) the situation, decided to group together to keep warm. This way they covered and protected themselves; but they forgot one important fact (27)_____ when they got together to warm each other, the quills(刚毛) of each one wounded their closest companions.

Wisely, they decided to go back to being together. They learned to live with the little wounds (31)_____ (cause) by the close relationship with their companions to receive the heat that came from the others. This way they were able to survive.

As further proof that you can now 3D-print anything, a company called Natural Machines has introduced a 3D printer for food.
The “Foodini”, as it’s called, isn’t too different from a regular 3D printer, but instead of printing with plastics, it prints eatable ingredients 41 out of steel capsules (容器): “It’s the same technology,” says Lynette Kucsma, co-founder of Natural Machines, “but with plastics there’s just one
42 point, while with food it has different temperatures and consistencies (粘稠度). Also, 43
works a little bit against us, as food doesn’t hold the shape as well as plastic.”
At the Web Summit technology conference in Dublin, the Barcelona-based startup is showing off the machine, which it says is the only one of its kind capable of printing a wide range of dishes.
“In fact, this is a mini food manufacturing plant 44 down to the size of an oven,” Kucsma said, pointing out that at least in the initial stage the printer will be 45 mostly at professional kitchen users, with a consumer version to follow.
In principle, the Foodini sounds like the final 46 aid: press a button to print your food. But Natural Machines is quick to point out that it’s designed to take care only of the difficult and 47
parts of food preparation that discourage people from cooking at home, and that it promotes healthy eating by requiring fresh ingredients prepared before printing.
Nevertheless, the company is working with major food manufacturers to create pre-packaged plastic capsules that can just be loaded into the machine to make food, even though they assure these will be free of preservatives, with a shelf life 48 to five days.
The printing process is slow, but faster than regular 3D printing. Other than being capable of creating complex designs, the Foodini can be useful for recipes that require accuracy and skillfulness, like homemade pizza or filled pasta.
Currently, the device only prints the food, which must be then cooked as usual. But a(n) 49
model will also cook the preparation and produce it ready to eat.
The idea also comes with a social 50 too. “There’s a touchscreen on the front that connects to a recipe site in the cloud, so it’s an internet-of-things, connected kitchen appliance,” said Kucsma. Users will also be able to control the device remotely using a smartphone, and share their recipes with the community.
III. Reading Comprehension
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.
As unemployment rates shrink, individual industries and job markets are heating up. According to the most recent numbers released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in their biannual Occupational Outlook Handbook and Career Guide to Industries, the total number of Americans 51 will increase by 10.1 percent by 2018.
While many jobs have opportunities for promotion, the following three 52 for unique reasons.
IT Security
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, computer-related 53 are on the rise. From 2012 to 2022, the number of computer systems analysts in the country is expected to increase by 25 percent, while computer support specialists will see demand increase by as much as 17 percent. These are clear indicators of the nation’s 54 focus on IT and cyber (网络的) security.
However, it may be IT security specialists that see the biggest growth. As cyber 55 increases and computers become increasingly capable of storing more data, the emphasis on cyber security will become even more 56 . According to Anthony Sequeira of CBT Nuggets, a reputable IT training resource, “As we store more and more information in the cloud, the perceived (感知到的) gain and harm that can be done to individuals is greater and greater.”
In 2013, the average IT security analyst made approximately $88,590 – with the 57 10 percent taking home as much as $138,780. Even the lower end is well above the national average, with the 58 starting salary somewhere around $50,430.
Biomedical Engineering
If you’re looking at the Occupational Outlook Handbook and Career Guide to Industries, the occupation with the highest expected growth rate from 2008 to 2018 is biomedical engineering.
59 , there were only 16,000 biomedical engineers in 2008. A healthy 27,520 are expected to hold the title by 2018. That’s a 10-year growth rate of 72 percent.
But why is this industry growing so 60 It’s likely due in part to the aging population and an increased focus on 61 issues. Naturally, health professionals and the general public will 62 to demand better and more superior medical equipment and devices for better healthcare. In 2008, the average annual salary for a biomedical engineer was $77,400. The current mid-career annual salary is somewhere around $97,800.
Audiology
For those who want to work directly with people but prefer low-pressure environments, audiology is an 63 career. “If you don’t like 64 but still want a career with good prospects and a decent salary, consider becoming an audiologist,” writes Alan Farnham of ABC News.
Audiologists are professionals who treat patients with hearing needs. You’re now required to hold a clinical doctoral degree to be a qualified audiologist, but the 65 are worth it. Now an audiologist’s average annual salary is $63,579.
51. A. dismissed B. employed C. promoted D. demanded
52. A. drop in B. keep up C. take on D. stand out
53. A. salaries B. players C. careers D. games
54. A. enhanced B. shifted C. continued D. limited
55. A. safety B. communication C. relationship D. crime

59. A. Instead B. Besides C. Nevertheless D. Meanwhile
60. A. steadily B. slightly C. differently D. rapidly

64. A. restriction B. promotion C. excitement D. stress
65. A. patients B. rewards C. hospitals D. pleasures
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）
A cannon (大炮) sounded as Jonny Fry took off on his horse through the streets of St. Joseph, Missouri. Crowds lined the streets, cheering and waving. Fry rode west for 90 miles at full speed. He then passed a leather bag full of letters to another rider. Eventually a chain of riders carried the letters across nearly 2,000 miles of wilderness, and the Pony Express was born.
Between California and the rest of the U.S. lay a vast wilderness. Mail service was slow and often delayed. As war among the states seemed likely, people wanted news more quickly.
In December 1859, William Russell, owner of a transport company, decided to meet that need. He and partners William Waddell and Alexander Majors worked constantly for months. They selected a route from St. Joseph, Missouri, to Sacramento, California. Then they purchased 400 horses, hired workers and set up relay stations (驿站) every 10 to 15 miles. Riders would change horses at these stations, and every 90 to 120 miles a new rider would take over.
Shortly before Jonny Fry set out, another Pony Express rider set off from Sacramento for St. Joseph. These first deliveries reached their destinations in close to the 10 days Russell had promised.
But the route was far from safe. On April 18, 1860, a rider’s horse stumbled (绊倒) and fell on the rider, killing him. Riders faced rivers, mountains, extreme temperatures—and very unfriendly natives. In May 1860, tensions between the settlers and Native Americans turned into fighting. Native Americans attacked several Pony Express stations, forcing some of them to close temporarily.
Despite the risks, the Pony Express lost only one delivery during its one and a half years in operation. And when Abraham Lincoln was elected president, the Pony Express carried the news to California in only five days. It also spread news of the beginning of America’s Civil War.
The Pony Express service ended in October 1861 after a telegraph line across the U.S. was completed. Yet the riders’ courage and accomplishments still hold a place in legend (传奇).
66. The passage is mainly about the _____ of the Pony Express.
A. function B. influence C. history D. operation
67. To _____, William Russell decided to set up the Pony Express.
A. shorten the time of sending mail B. deliver mail farther and more safely
C. meet people’s different needs D. help people keep in contact in war
68. What might Russell have promised about the first deliveries
A. To make the destinations closer. B. To make the deliveries within 10 days.
C. To ensure the deliveries with two riders. D. To complete the deliveries before the war.
69. What can be learned from the passage
A. The Pony Express had an insignificant position in the development of mail service.
B. The fighting between the settlers and Native Americans ended the Pony Express.
C. The Pony Express became successful as a result of the dangers on the route.
D. The Pony Express not only delivered mail but spread news as well.
（B）

72. From the comments we can conclude that _____ must be an employer.
A. Alberto B. Marianne C. Marcel D. Robert
73. What might be the topic of Alberto Hernandez’s latest blog
A. Workplace privacy. B. Management skills.
C. Employment status. D. Information sources.
（C）
Thanks to smartphones, telling your partner “I love you” has never been easier. And, according to some new research, it’s probably making your relationship stronger, too.
There’s no denying technology’s impact on modern relationships, just as there’s no denying technology’s impact on modern, well, everything. Websites and apps such as , OkCupid and Tinder have changed the way Americans meet and date. A 2013 study from the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that more than one-third of all U.S. marriages now begin through online dating, which has grown into a $2 billion-a-year industry, according to IBISWorld. And, of course, they’ve changed how we communicate. Facebook, Twitter, iMessage, WhatsApp, Snapchat and Instagram have replaced the Phone.
For tech-savvy couples, the communication possibilities today are seemingly endless. Texting apps allow partners to communicate throughout the day regardless of where they are. And while there are some dangers that accompany regular texting with your partner, couples that exchange affectionate texts can actually enhance their relationships. A new report from the Pew Research Centre shows that 21 percent of people in committed relationships say they felt closer to their spouse or partner because of exchanges they had either online or via text message.
“People will text no matter what—it’s too convenient,” says Lori Schade, Ph.D., a licensed marriage and family therapist in Salk Lake City, Utah. “But if they use text messages purposefully to put money in the relationship bank, so to speak, by being positive, they might be developing resilience (韧性) to weather future storms.”
Meanwhile, several apps that are built specially for couples have begun appearing in app stores everywhere. Couple, an app that allows couples to communicate in their own, private channel, has been downloaded nearly 2.5 million times. The app lets you and your partner share messages and videos, build a private shared timeline recording your relationship, share to-do lists and even send “ThumbKisses” to one another.
Some dating sites are figuring out ways to stay involved in couples’ lives beyond the meeting period. HowAboutWe, which likes to call itself “The Online Dating Sites”, has a separate service for couples that offers pre-planned dates ranging from tickets to a Broadway show, to custom peanut butter sandwiches, to a robot-building workshop. The company launched a new couples app called “You & Me”, which allows partners to cooperate on playlists, share photos and exchange private messages.
So while there’s no substitution for actual face time in relationship, FaceTime is looking more and more like a good alternative to fill in the gaps.
74. “Tech-savvy couples” in Paragraph 3 may refer to couples who _____.
A. can save technology B. have a good command of technology
C. communicate endlessly D. work in the field of information technology
75. In Lori Schade’s opinion, texting can _____.
A. enable people to put money in the bank B. prevent partners being caught in storms
C. help people enhance their relationships D. expose people to more dangers
76. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.
A. actual face time is more important than online face time
B. actual face time will eventually give way to online face time
C. online face time makes relationships stronger than actual face time
D. online face time can make up for the disadvantages of actual face time
77. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage
A. Modern technology: Bringing people closer
B. Modern technology: Recording relationships
C. Modern technology: Changing everyday life
D. Modern technology: Making communication easier
Section C
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
A public elementary school in New York City has stopped giving its students homework.
Public School 116 (P.S. 116) Principal Jane Hsu wrote a letter to parents last month detailing the decision, explaining that after more than a year of analyzing studies, the school had concluded that students’ after-school time would be better spent on activities like reading at their own pace and playing rather than working on class assignments.
Hsu’s letter says that many studies indicate that there is no connection between homework and academic success. Indeed, there are some studies that show that the link between homework and success is doubtful at the primary school level.
A 1989 study on homework by Harris Cooper, a social psychologist who researches education, found that doing homework led students to perform better in school as they grew older. In later grades, students who did homework performed increasingly better than students who did not. In 2006, Cooper published a study that analyzed 15 years’ worth of data on the effectiveness of homework. He found that homework had a more positive impact on students as they aged, and identified stronger link between homework and achievement for students in grades seven through twelve than for students in kindergarten through sixth grade.
A 2012 study from the Indiana University School of Education on 10th-graders found little link between time spent on homework and better course grades, although it did find a positive link between homework time and standardized test performance.
Some parents of P.S. 116 students are not happy with the decision to eliminate homework.
“I think they should have homework—some of it is about discipline. I want my daughter to have fun, but I also want her to be working towards a goal,” Daniel Tasman, the father of a second-grader at the school, told DNAinfo.
“You have to do homework in order to gain; you have to do homework because they may not be able to comprehend everything in school,” Sharon Blake, a grandmother of a P.S. 116 student, told ABC news.
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)
78. The passage is about a New York elementary school’s decision to _____.
79. What did P.S. 116 do before it came to the decision at last
80. The studies in 1989 and in 2006 both found out that there was _____ when students were younger.
81. Some parents of P.S. 116 students are against its decision because they hold that homework can _____.

Section B
Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages, and you will be asked three questions on each of the passages. The passages will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
An Italian town will pay people hundreds of Euros per year if they cycle to work instead of using their cars.
The government of the town Massarosa, just north of Pisa, says the pilot scheme will see cyclists paid 25 cents per kilometre travelled, up to a monthly income of 50 Euros, a local news website reports. That means those who switch to two wheels could pocket up to 600 Euros in a year. It’s said to be the first such scheme in Italy.
Fifty workers will be included in the 12-month scheme, which will use a smartphone application to record the distance travelled each day. The scheme is being funded from fines collected from traffic tickets in the town, which by law has to be reinvested in road safety, the site points out.
“The Bike to Work scheme will offer motivations to citizens to ensure the area becomes more liveable,” says a local official, adding that it will naturally mean less traffic on the streets, and will have health benefits. The Italian Federation Friends of the Bicycle, which helped to develop the idea, says it hopes that other towns will now follow Massarosa’s lead.
(Now listen again, please)
Questions:
11. What’s the aim of The Bike to Work scheme of the Italian town
12. What’s the maximum amount of money that a citizen can get in a month if he goes to work by bicycle
13. How can the distance cycled be recorded
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
What do you read when you are travelling by train or bus
What are other passengers reading Perhaps a woman sitting near you is reading a romantic novel. A man is reading a serious book about a politician. And there’s a student reading an English textbook.
What do their choices say about them Do you judge them by what they are reading
I have got to tell you that your impressions of them are probably completely wrong. The woman reading the romantic novel could be a lawyer. She just wants a light read to take her mind off work.
The man reading the serious book wants you to think that he is an intellectual, but he is just showing off. The student reading the textbook isn’t a student at all. She’s an English teacher.
Publishers know that some people are self-conscious about what they read on public transport, so they put out different versions of a cover. For example, books about Harry Potter have an original cover for young readers and then another more serious version for adults.
So next time you are on a train, look around and see what other people are reading, but don’t jump to any conclusions. You will probably be wrong.
(Now listen again, please)
Questions:
14. What does the speaker think the woman reading a romantic novel could be
15. Why do some books have different versions of covers
16. What does the speaker mainly want to tell us

Wisely, they decided to go back to being together. They learned to live with the little wounds (31)_____ (cause) by the close relationship with their companions to receive the heat that came from the others. This way they were able to survive.

As further proof that you can now 3D-print anything, a company called Natural Machines has introduced a 3D printer for food.
The “Foodini”, as it’s called, isn’t too different from a regular 3D printer, but instead of printing with plastics, it prints eatable ingredients 41 out of steel capsules (容器): “It’s the same technology,” says Lynette Kucsma, co-founder of Natural Machines, “but with plastics there’s just one
42 point, while with food it has different temperatures and consistencies (粘稠度). Also, 43
works a little bit against us, as food doesn’t hold the shape as well as plastic.”
At the Web Summit technology conference in Dublin, the Barcelona-based startup is showing off the machine, which it says is the only one of its kind capable of printing a wide range of dishes.
“In fact, this is a mini food manufacturing plant 44 down to the size of an oven,” Kucsma said, pointing out that at least in the initial stage the printer will be 45 mostly at professional kitchen users, with a consumer version to follow.
In principle, the Foodini sounds like the final 46 aid: press a button to print your food. But Natural Machines is quick to point out that it’s designed to take care only of the difficult and 47
parts of food preparation that discourage people from cooking at home, and that it promotes healthy eating by requiring fresh ingredients prepared before printing.
Nevertheless, the company is working with major food manufacturers to create pre-packaged plastic capsules that can just be loaded into the machine to make food, even though they assure these will be free of preservatives, with a shelf life 48 to five days.
The printing process is slow, but faster than regular 3D printing. Other than being capable of creating complex designs, the Foodini can be useful for recipes that require accuracy and skillfulness, like homemade pizza or filled pasta.
Currently, the device only prints the food, which must be then cooked as usual. But a(n) 49
model will also cook the preparation and produce it ready to eat.
The idea also comes with a social 50 too. “There’s a touchscreen on the front that connects to a recipe site in the cloud, so it’s an internet-of-things, connected kitchen appliance,” said Kucsma. Users will also be able to control the device remotely using a smartphone, and share their recipes with the community.
III. Reading Comprehension
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.
As unemployment rates shrink, individual industries and job markets are heating up. According to the most recent numbers released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in their biannual Occupational Outlook Handbook and Career Guide to Industries, the total number of Americans 51 will increase by 10.1 percent by 2018.
While many jobs have opportunities for promotion, the following three 52 for unique reasons.
IT Security
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, computer-related 53 are on the rise. From 2012 to 2022, the number of computer systems analysts in the country is expected to increase by 25 percent, while computer support specialists will see demand increase by as much as 17 percent. These are clear indicators of the nation’s 54 focus on IT and cyber (网络的) security.
However, it may be IT security specialists that see the biggest growth. As cyber 55 increases and computers become increasingly capable of storing more data, the emphasis on cyber security will become even more 56 . According to Anthony Sequeira of CBT Nuggets, a reputable IT training resource, “As we store more and more information in the cloud, the perceived (感知到的) gain and harm that can be done to individuals is greater and greater.”
In 2013, the average IT security analyst made approximately $88,590 – with the 57 10 percent taking home as much as $138,780. Even the lower end is well above the national average, with the 58 starting salary somewhere around $50,430.
Biomedical Engineering
If you’re looking at the Occupational Outlook Handbook and Career Guide to Industries, the occupation with the highest expected growth rate from 2008 to 2018 is biomedical engineering.
59 , there were only 16,000 biomedical engineers in 2008. A healthy 27,520 are expected to hold the title by 2018. That’s a 10-year growth rate of 72 percent.
But why is this industry growing so 60 It’s likely due in part to the aging population and an increased focus on 61 issues. Naturally, health professionals and the general public will 62 to demand better and more superior medical equipment and devices for better healthcare. In 2008, the average annual salary for a biomedical engineer was $77,400. The current mid-career annual salary is somewhere around $97,800.
Audiology
For those who want to work directly with people but prefer low-pressure environments, audiology is an 63 career. “If you don’t like 64 but still want a career with good prospects and a decent salary, consider becoming an audiologist,” writes Alan Farnham of ABC News.
Audiologists are professionals who treat patients with hearing needs. You’re now required to hold a clinical doctoral degree to be a qualified audiologist, but the 65 are worth it. Now an audiologist’s average annual salary is $63,579.
51. A. dismissed B. employed C. promoted D. demanded
52. A. drop in B. keep up C. take on D. stand out
53. A. salaries B. players C. careers D. games
54. A. enhanced B. shifted C. continued D. limited
55. A. safety B. communication C. relationship D. crime

63. A. ideal B. independent C. interesting D. unusual
64. A. restriction B. promotion C. excitement D. stress
65. A. patients B. rewards C. hospitals D. pleasures
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）
A cannon (大炮) sounded as Jonny Fry took off on his horse through the streets of St. Joseph, Missouri. Crowds lined the streets, cheering and waving. Fry rode west for 90 miles at full speed. He then passed a leather bag full of letters to another rider. Eventually a chain of riders carried the letters across nearly 2,000 miles of wilderness, and the Pony Express was born.
Between California and the rest of the U.S. lay a vast wilderness. Mail service was slow and often delayed. As war among the states seemed likely, people wanted news more quickly.
In December 1859, William Russell, owner of a transport company, decided to meet that need. He and partners William Waddell and Alexander Majors worked constantly for months. They selected a route from St. Joseph, Missouri, to Sacramento, California. Then they purchased 400 horses, hired workers and set up relay stations (驿站) every 10 to 15 miles. Riders would change horses at these stations, and every 90 to 120 miles a new rider would take over.
Shortly before Jonny Fry set out, another Pony Express rider set off from Sacramento for St. Joseph. These first deliveries reached their destinations in close to the 10 days Russell had promised.
But the route was far from safe. On April 18, 1860, a rider’s horse stumbled (绊倒) and fell on the rider, killing him. Riders faced rivers, mountains, extreme temperatures—and very unfriendly natives. In May 1860, tensions between the settlers and Native Americans turned into fighting. Native Americans attacked several Pony Express stations, forcing some of them to close temporarily.
Despite the risks, the Pony Express lost only one delivery during its one and a half years in operation. And when Abraham Lincoln was elected president, the Pony Express carried the news to California in only five days. It also spread news of the beginning of America’s Civil War.
The Pony Express service ended in October 1861 after a telegraph line across the U.S. was completed. Yet the riders’ courage and accomplishments still hold a place in legend (传奇).
66. The passage is mainly about the _____ of the Pony Express.
A. function B. influence C. history D. operation
67. To _____, William Russell decided to set up the Pony Express.
A. shorten the time of sending mail B. deliver mail farther and more safely
C. meet people’s different needs D. help people keep in contact in war
68. What might Russell have promised about the first deliveries
A. To make the destinations closer. B. To make the deliveries within 10 days.
C. To ensure the deliveries with two riders. D. To complete the deliveries before the war.
69. What can be learned from the passage
A. The Pony Express had an insignificant position in the development of mail service.
B. The fighting between the settlers and Native Americans ended the Pony Express.
C. The Pony Express became successful as a result of the dangers on the route.
D. The Pony Express not only delivered mail but spread news as well.

A. Alberto B. Marianne C. Marcel D. Robert
73. What might be the topic of Alberto Hernandez’s latest blog
A. Workplace privacy. B. Management skills.

（C）
Thanks to smartphones, telling your partner “I love you” has never been easier. And, according to some new research, it’s probably making your relationship stronger, too.
There’s no denying technology’s impact on modern relationships, just as there’s no denying technology’s impact on modern, well, everything. Websites and apps such as , OkCupid and Tinder have changed the way Americans meet and date. A 2013 study from the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that more than one-third of all U.S. marriages now begin through online dating, which has grown into a $2 billion-a-year industry, according to IBISWorld. And, of course, they’ve changed how we communicate. Facebook, Twitter, iMessage, WhatsApp, Snapchat and Instagram have replaced the Phone.
For tech-savvy couples, the communication possibilities today are seemingly endless. Texting apps allow partners to communicate throughout the day regardless of where they are. And while there are some dangers that accompany regular texting with your partner, couples that exchange affectionate texts can actually enhance their relationships. A new report from the Pew Research Centre shows that 21 percent of people in committed relationships say they felt closer to their spouse or partner because of exchanges they had either online or via text message.
“People will text no matter what—it’s too convenient,” says Lori Schade, Ph.D., a licensed marriage and family therapist in Salk Lake City, Utah. “But if they use text messages purposefully to put money in the relationship bank, so to speak, by being positive, they might be developing resilience (韧性) to weather future storms.”
Meanwhile, several apps that are built specially for couples have begun appearing in app stores everywhere. Couple, an app that allows couples to communicate in their own, private channel, has been downloaded nearly 2.5 million times. The app lets you and your partner share messages and videos, build a private shared timeline recording your relationship, share to-do lists and even send “ThumbKisses” to one another.
Some dating sites are figuring out ways to stay involved in couples’ lives beyond the meeting period. HowAboutWe, which likes to call itself “The Online Dating Sites”, has a separate service for couples that offers pre-planned dates ranging from tickets to a Broadway show, to custom peanut butter sandwiches, to a robot-building workshop. The company launched a new couples app called “You & Me”, which allows partners to cooperate on playlists, share photos and exchange private messages.
So while there’s no substitution for actual face time in relationship, FaceTime is looking more and more like a good alternative to fill in the gaps.
74. “Tech-savvy couples” in Paragraph 3 may refer to couples who _____.
A. can save technology B. have a good command of technology
C. communicate endlessly D. work in the field of information technology
75. In Lori Schade’s opinion, texting can _____.
A. enable people to put money in the bank B. prevent partners being caught in storms
C. help people enhance their relationships D. expose people to more dangers
76. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.
A. actual face time is more important than online face time
B. actual face time will eventually give way to online face time
C. online face time makes relationships stronger than actual face time
D. online face time can make up for the disadvantages of actual face time
77. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage
A. Modern technology: Bringing people closer
B. Modern technology: Recording relationships
C. Modern technology: Changing everyday life
D. Modern technology: Making communication easier
Section C
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
A public elementary school in New York City has stopped giving its students homework.
Public School 116 (P.S. 116) Principal Jane Hsu wrote a letter to parents last month detailing the decision, explaining that after more than a year of analyzing studies, the school had concluded that students’ after-school time would be better spent on activities like reading at their own pace and playing rather than working on class assignments.
Hsu’s letter says that many studies indicate that there is no connection between homework and academic success. Indeed, there are some studies that show that the link between homework and success is doubtful at the primary school level.
A 1989 study on homework by Harris Cooper, a social psychologist who researches education, found that doing homework led students to perform better in school as they grew older. In later grades, students who did homework performed increasingly better than students who did not. In 2006, Cooper published a study that analyzed 15 years’ worth of data on the effectiveness of homework. He found that homework had a more positive impact on students as they aged, and identified stronger link between homework and achievement for students in grades seven through twelve than for students in kindergarten through sixth grade.
A 2012 study from the Indiana University School of Education on 10th-graders found little link between time spent on homework and better course grades, although it did find a positive link between homework time and standardized test performance.
Some parents of P.S. 116 students are not happy with the decision to eliminate homework.
“I think they should have homework—some of it is about discipline. I want my daughter to have fun, but I also want her to be working towards a goal,” Daniel Tasman, the father of a second-grader at the school, told DNAinfo.
“You have to do homework in order to gain; you have to do homework because they may not be able to comprehend everything in school,” Sharon Blake, a grandmother of a P.S. 116 student, told ABC news.
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)
78. The passage is about a New York elementary school’s decision to _____.
79. What did P.S. 116 do before it came to the decision at last
80. The studies in 1989 and in 2006 both found out that there was _____ when students were younger.
81. Some parents of P.S. 116 students are against its decision because they hold that homework can _____.

Listening Comprehension
Section A
Directions: In Section A, you will hear ten short conversations between two speakers. At the end of each conversation, a question will be asked about what was said. The conversations and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a conversation and the question about it, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.
1. W: Excuse me, sir. What does this word mean
M: You’d better learn to guess in context.
Q: What is the most probable relationship between the two speakers
2. M: Are you free this afternoon How about having coffee together
W: I’d like to. But I have to draw some money from the bank to pay my bookstore bills.
Q: What does the woman plan to do this afternoon
3. W: We can’t find Tony. He is missing! The train is about to leave.
M: Don’t worry. Maybe he is buying some food at the shop on the platform.
Q: Where are the two speakers
4. M: Is there any assignment for next Tuesday
W: Nothing to read or write. But we’re supposed to listen to a radio program and be ready to talk about it in class.
Q: What have the students been asked to do before Tuesday
5. W: That’s a long line. Do you think there’ll be any tickets left
M: I doubt it. Guess we’ll end up going to the second show.
Q: What does the man mean
6. W: Oh, my Gosh! It’s boiling hot today.
M: Yeah, I’m dying for a cold shower right now.
Q: What are the two speakers talking about
7. M: Our rent is now $600 a month.
W: I know. It’s exactly one-third more than it was when we first moved in.
Q: What was the original rent per month
8. M: Henry, your article in the campus news was excellent.
W: I only wish they had published the entire thing.
Q: What can we learn from Henry’s response
9. W: I understand it can do 24 pages a minute, so it’s really fast. But I don’t know how.
M: Just put what you want to copy in here. Make these choices. Then press the Start button.
Q: What is the man doing
10. W: If George misses one more meeting, we are going to have to find a new committee secretary.
M: We’d better give him a warning first.
Q: What does the man suggest they should do
Section B
Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages, and you will be asked three questions on each of the passages. The passages will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
An Italian town will pay people hundreds of Euros per year if they cycle to work instead of using their cars.
The government of the town Massarosa, just north of Pisa, says the pilot scheme will see cyclists paid 25 cents per kilometre travelled, up to a monthly income of 50 Euros, a local news website reports. That means those who switch to two wheels could pocket up to 600 Euros in a year. It’s said to be the first such scheme in Italy.
Fifty workers will be included in the 12-month scheme, which will use a smartphone application to record the distance travelled each day. The scheme is being funded from fines collected from traffic tickets in the town, which by law has to be reinvested in road safety, the site points out.
“The Bike to Work scheme will offer motivations to citizens to ensure the area becomes more liveable,” says a local official, adding that it will naturally mean less traffic on the streets, and will have health benefits. The Italian Federation Friends of the Bicycle, which helped to develop the idea, says it hopes that other towns will now follow Massarosa’s lead.
(Now listen again, please)
Questions:
11. What’s the aim of The Bike to Work scheme of the Italian town
12. What’s the maximum amount of money that a citizen can get in a month if he goes to work by bicycle
13. How can the distance cycled be recorded
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
What do you read when you are travelling by train or bus
What are other passengers reading Perhaps a woman sitting near you is reading a romantic novel. A man is reading a serious book about a politician. And there’s a student reading an English textbook.
What do their choices say about them Do you judge them by what they are reading
I have got to tell you that your impressions of them are probably completely wrong. The woman reading the romantic novel could be a lawyer. She just wants a light read to take her mind off work.
The man reading the serious book wants you to think that he is an intellectual, but he is just showing off. The student reading the textbook isn’t a student at all. She’s an English teacher.
Publishers know that some people are self-conscious about what they read on public transport, so they put out different versions of a cover. For example, books about Harry Potter have an original cover for young readers and then another more serious version for adults.
So next time you are on a train, look around and see what other people are reading, but don’t jump to any conclusions. You will probably be wrong.
(Now listen again, please)
Questions:
14. What does the speaker think the woman reading a romantic novel could be
15. Why do some books have different versions of covers
16. What does the speaker mainly want to tell us
Section C
Directions: In Section C, you will hear two longer conversations. Each conversation will be read twice. After you hear the conversation, you are required to fill in the numbered blanks with the information you have heard. Write your answers on your answer sheet.
Blanks 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.
W: Good morning, doctor.
M: Good morning. What seems to be the trouble
W: These days I always have a headache, and I can’t sleep well. I’ve also lost my appetite.
M: Mm, you do look rather pale. How long have you had this problem
W: Three weeks.
M: Have you taken any medicine
W: I tried some sleeping pills, but they have done nothing for me.
M: You’ve just had your blood tested, right Let me have a look at the results…Well, there is nothing to be alarmed about. You are just exhausted from overwork. I think you need more rest. Try to get outdoors more. Don’t give yourself too much pressure.
W: OK. I’ll do as you say.
M: By the way, you’d better pay more attention to your diet. Eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables and food high in protein.
W: Thank you.
