II. Grammar and Vocabulary
Section A (16)
(A)
Many fashions popul ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ar with Chinese college students draw their inspiration from South Korea and Japan. To my mind, sparkly mobile phones covered with rhinestones or knee-length tights look rather strange, but at least they are harmless.
However, one of this season’s ____25_____(hot) fashion items could be more dangerous than it might first appear. Circle lenses, a type of contact lens which makes eyes appear larger, can cause serious health problems.
You’ve probably seen circle lenses on sale in shops and ____26_____(wear) by young women around town. They are often colorful, endorsed by cartoon characters such as Hello Kitty, and are available both as prescription(处方) lenses and purely cosmetic lenses. What you may not know is that in countries such as the US, buying contact lenses ___27____ a prescription is illegal.
According to experts, contact lenses which do not fit properly can deprive the eye of oxygen and lead to serious eye problems – even blindness. Yet a quick search of reveals dozens of cosmetic lenses for sale to anyone with the money to buy them.
My friend Feifei bought a pair from a shop on her university campus. “I wanted to enlarge my pupils(瞳孔) __28___ _____ I could make my eyes look bigger and brighter,” she says. For her, the benefits of being able to match the color of her eyes to her clothes are too attractive _____29____(resist).
She is not concerned with any problems that ___30____ result from wearing these lenses because she took a prescription from an optometrist to the shop. Sadly many people buy cosmetic lenses without a prescription, ____31___ is where problems can start.
Such risks are part of a long tradition of women endangering their health in the search for beauty: from 16th century European women who whitened their faces with poisonous powder ____32____(contain) lead(铅), to the disastrous results of botched cosmetic surgery today.
(B)
MCDONALD’S, Android ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), Fanta, Yahoo … When you look at these brands’ logos (标志), how do they make you feel
Logos are like companies’ faces. Some psychologists recently ___33____(find) that our brains are good at remembering different logos, and we develop this ability from the age of 2. Young children ____34____(test) in the study could identify logos and link them to the correct products about 67 percent of the time.
“Some logos are so powerful that they don’t need to spell out their names,” Alex Hillsberg of told the Daily Mail. “They transcend (跨越) cultural borders.”
_____35____(interest) by this finding, Hillsberg did his own study, trying to figure out what it is ____36____ makes such strong impressions.
He found that customers tend to judge products within 90 seconds of seeing them, and most of this judgment is based on one thing – color.
It’s been known for years ____37____ different colors affect people’s emotions differently – scientists call this “color psychology”. And some of these effects are similar for most people. So Hillsberg studied many of the world’s most popular logos, ____38____(focus) especially on their colors.
Red, for example, tends to convey “energy”. Thus, it conveys the feelings of passion. This is ___39____ it is used in the logo for the energy drink Red Bull.
The big yellow letter “M” of McDonald’s ____40____(associate) with joy and energy, while Android’s and Starbucks’ greens are designed to communicate “the harmony (和谐) of nature”.
People used to think that logo designers choose colors based largely on their own preference (偏好), but this study says otherwise.
“They are calcula ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ted,” said Hillsberg. “Big businesses choose logo colors with one thing in mind: that you remember their logos in your sleep.”
Section B (10)
Directions: Complete ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Stress, in its ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )simplest definition, is strain caused by some type of force. Today, the word stress is used most often when people discuss mental health. In this context, stress describes the condition that results from ongoing and ____41____ physical, emotional, or environmental forces. Such forces may include too much work, a tragic event, or air pollution. The forces may cause pain, tension, fear, grief, or anxiety. These discomforts can disturb the body’s ability to ___42_____ its normal internal balance. Some level of discomfort is, of course, normal. The occasional ___43____ of pain or anxiety is not by itself a symptom of a serious problem. When such distress is continuous---when the brain and the rest of the body cannot make the adjustments that return a person to his or her normal condition of balance---then we say that the person is ___44____ from stress.
Although stress ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )itself is usually not considered a disease, studies suggest that it is linked to disease. A growing body of research data ____45____ the risk of heart disease, for instance, with stress within the workplace, the family, and other parts of society. Character traits--- such as a tendency to worry, to strive for perfection, or to be competitive---also seem to contribute to stress. It is unclear, however, whether stress itself causes disease. People’s ___46_____ to stress sometimes put them at risk. For example, a person might respond to stress by eating too much or smoking.
Research conducted ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) in California seems to ___47____ that men who report stress from their jobs are more likely than less-stressed men to have plaque(血小板) building up in the arteries that supply blood to the brain. High levels of this plaque increase a person’s chances of having a stroke(中风). The same study, however, did not find ___48_____ between stress and arterial plaque in women. Doctors speculate(推测) that female hormones may operate in some ____49_____ way.
Another study ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )seems to confirm the ___50____ of people with the degenerative neurological(神经病学的) disease multiple sclerosis (MS) that stress makes their disease worse. Through the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain scans, researchers linked periods of stress in the subjects’ lives with evidence of MS disease activity. Researchers also determined that major stressful events were related to the development of new brain lesions.
Stress has also bee ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n linked to hypertension, depression, obesity, skin diseases, and some other types of cancer.
III. Reading Comprehension
Section A (15)
Directions: For ea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ch 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.
During most of hu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )man history, people spent much or all of the daytime outside, farming, or hunting. Only fairly recently has this changed, and today many people in the United States spend almost 90 percent of their time ____51_____--a lifestyle change that apparently affects us in unforeseen ways. It ____52_____ that we need sunlight in order to stay healthy.
The bright light from ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the sun affects our sleep patterns, our internal biological clocks, and our energy level. ____53______ sunlight helps our bodies process food and produce vitamin D3, a substance that is _____54_____ calcium and phosphorous absorption. Sunlight is necessary for the formation of melanin, the pigment that darkens the skin and protects it from excessive light. The light that enters our bodies through our eyes is ____55______ the production of serotonin, which regulates the constriction(收缩) of blood vessels, and the production of the hormone melatonin, which affects energy levels.
The _____56_____, wavelength, and time of sunlight all govern how it affects us. The intensity of light outdoors on a cloudy day is about 10 times greater than the most intense indoor light, and on a sunny day it is much ______57______ than that. Most artificial lights have wavelengths that are limited mainly to visible light. _____58______ sunlight includes light that has both higher and lower wavelengths than visible light does. These wavelengths are crucial to the production of melanin, melatonin, and serotonin. Plus, some research shows that exposure to morning light is needed to ____59_____ sleep patterns.
Doctors have rec ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ently recognized Seasonal Affective Disorder(SAD) as a condition that is _____60______ sunlight exposure.

Section B (32)
Directions: Read ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )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)
When something goes ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, "Well, it's so-and-so's fault." or "I know I'm late, but it's not my fault; the car broke down." It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner's key to success.
Winners are gr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eat at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don't rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.
This is what ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don't have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on "whose fault it is." Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.
66. The underlined wo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rd "remedy" in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. avoid B. accept C. improve D. consider
67. When your colleague brings about a problem, you should _______.
A. find a better way to handle the problem
B. blame him for his lack of responsibility
C. tell him to find the cause of the problem
D. ask a more able colleague for help
68. When problems occur, winners take them as .
A. excuses for their failures
B. barriers to greater power
C. challenges to their colleagues
D. chances for self-development
69. Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. A Winner's Secret. B. A Winner's Problem.
C. A Winner's Opportunity. D. A Winner's Achievement.
(B)

(C)
Franz Kafka wrote t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hat “a book must be the ax (斧子) for the frozen sea inside us. ” I once shared this sentence with a class of seventh graders, and it didn’t seem to require any explanation.
We’d just finishe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d John Steinbeck’s novel Of Mice and Men. When we read the end together out loud in class, my toughest boy, a star basketball player, wept a little, and so did I. “Are you crying ” one girl asked, as she got out of her chair to take a closer look. “I am,” I told her, “and the funny thing is I’ve read it many times.”
But they underst ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ood. When George shoots Lennie, the tragedy is that we realize it was always going to happen. In my 14 years of teaching in a New York City public middle school, I’ve taught kids with imprisoned parents, abusive parents, irresponsible parents; kids who are parents themselves; kids who are homeless; kids who grew up in violent neighborhoods. They understand, more than I ever will, the novel’s terrible logic—the giving way of dreams to fate.
For the last seven ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )years, I have worked as a reading enrichment teacher, reading classic works of literature with small groups of students from grades six to eight. I originally proposed this idea to my headmaster after learning that a former excellent student of mine had transferred out of a selective high school --- one that often attracts the literary-minded children of Manhattan’s upper classes --- into a less competitive setting. The daughter of immigrants, with a father in prison, she perhaps felt uncomfortable with her new classmates. I thought additional “cultural capital” could help students like her develop better in high school, where they would unavoidably meet, perhaps for the first time, students who came from homes lined with bookshelves, whose parents had earned Ph. D.’s.
Along with Of Mic ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e and Men, my groups read: Sounder, The Red Pony, Lord of the Flies, Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth. The students didn’t always read from the expected point of view.
About The Red Pony ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), one student said, “it’s about being a man, it’s about manliness.” I had never before seen the parallels between Scarface and Macbeth, nor had I heard Lady Macbeth’s soliloquies (独白) read as raps (说唱), but both made sense; the interpretations were playful, but serious. Once introduced to Steinbeck’s writing, one boy went on to read The Grapes of Wrath and told me repeatedly how amazing it was that “all these people hate each other, and they’re all white.” His historical view was broadening, his sense of his own country deepening. Year after year, former students visited and told me how prepared they had felt in their first year in college as a result of the classes.
Year after year, ho ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )wever, we are increasing the number of practice tests. We are trying to teach students to read increasingly complex texts, not for emotional punch (碰撞) but for text complexity. Yet, we cannot enrich the minds of our students by testing them on texts that ignore their hearts. We are teaching them that words do not amaze but confuse. We may succeed in raising test scores, but we will fail to teach them that reading can be transformative and that it belongs to them.
74. Why were ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the students able to understand the novel Of Mice and Men
A. Because they spent much time reading it.
B. Because they had read the novel before.
C. Because they came from a public school.
D. Because they had similar life experiences.
75. The girl left the selective high school possibly because ______.
A. she was a lite ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rary-minded girl B. her parents were immigrants
C. she could ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n’t fit in with her class D. her father was then in prison
76. To the author’s surprise, the students read the novels ______.
A. creatively B. passively C. repeatedly D. carelessly
77. The author writes the passage mainly to ______.
A. introduce classic works of literature
B. advocate teaching literature to touch the heart
C. argue for equality among high school students
D. defend the current testing system
(D)
Stratford-on-Avo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n, as we all know, has only one industry-William Shakespeare-but there are two distinctly separate and increasingly hostile branches. There is the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC), which presents superb productions of the plays at the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre on the Avon. And there are the townsfolk who largely live off the tourists who come, not to see the plays, but to look at Anne Hathaway’s Cottage, Shakespeare’s birthplace and the other sights.
The worthy reside ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nts of Stratford doubt that the theatre adds a penny to their revenue(税收). They frankly dislike the RSC’s actors, them with their long hair and beards and sandals and noisiness. It’s all deliciously ironic when you consider that Shakespeare, who earns their living, was himself an actor (with a beard) and did his share of noise - making.
The tourist s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )treams are not entirely separate. The sightseers who come by bus-and often take in Warwick Castle and Blenheim Palace on the side-don’t usually see the plays, and some of them are even surprised to find a theatre in Stratford. However, the playgoers do manage a little sight - seeing along with their playgoing. It is the playgoers, the RSC contends(主张), who bring in much of the town’s revenue because they spend the night (some of them four or five nights) pouring cash into the hotels and restaurants. The sightseers can take in everything and get out of town by nightfall.
The townsfolk d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )on’t see it this way and local council does not contribute directly to the subsidy(补贴) of the Royal Shakespeare Company. Stratford cries poor traditionally. Nevertheless every hotel in town seems to be adding a new wing or cocktail lounge. Hilton is building its own hotel there, which you may be sure will be decorated with Hamlet Hamburger Bars, the Lear Lounge, the Banquo Banqueting Room, and so forth, and will be very expensive.
Anyway, the townsfolk ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )can’t understand why the Royal Shakespeare Company needs a subsidy. (The theatre has broken attendance records for three years in a row. Last year its 1,431 seats were 94 per cent occupied all year long and this year they’ll do better.) The reason, of course, is that costs have rocketed and ticket prices have stayed low.
It would be a sham ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e to raise prices too much because it would drive away the young people who are Stratford’s most attractive clientele. They come entirely for the plays, not the sights. They all seem to look alike (though they come from all over) –lean, pointed, dedicated faces, wearing jeans and sandals, eating their buns and bedding down for the night on the flagstones outside the theatre to buy the 20 seats and 80 standing-room tickets held for the sleepers and sold to them when the box office opens at 10:30 a.m.
78. From the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) first two paragraphs , we learn that ___________________.
A. the townsfolk deny the RSC’s contribution to the town’s revenue
B. the actors of the RSC imitate Shakespeare on and off stage
C. the two branches of the RSC are not on good terms
D. the townsfolk earn little from tourism
79. It can be inferred from Para 3 that ________________________.
A. the sightseers cannot visit the Castle and the Palace separately
B. the playgoers spend more money than the sightseers
C. the sightseers do more shopping than the playgoers
D. the playgoers go to no other places in town than the theater
80. By sayin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g “Stratford cries poor traditionally” (Line 2-3, Paragraph 4), the author implies that ______________________.
A. Stratford cannot afford the expansion projects
B. Stratford has long been in financial difficulties
C. the town is not really short of money
