form
of
the

word;
for

(A)
We
can
always
hear
voices
comparing
the
educational
systems
in
China
and
the
US.
It’s
true
that
there
exist
a
lot
of
differences,
but
this
cannot
be
an
excuse
(25)
______
having
a
passive
attitude
toward
studying
in
China.
When
I
came
back
from
the
US
last
year
and
continued
my
senior
middle
school
education
in
China,
I
sensed
many
great
differences.
I
thought
that
school
in
China
was
too
hard,
and
that
we
didn’t
do
enough
fun
exercise
except
running
around
playgrounds
together.
I
was
not
patient
enough
and
I
couldn’t
help
but
(26)______(cry)
to
my
mom.
In
short,
I
could
not
face
the
changes
and
the
pressure.
After
a
long
talk
with
my
mother,
I
realized
that
though
high
school
life
in
China
is
(27)
______
(hard),
it
can
give
us
more.
The
pressure
helps
us
learn
the
true
meaning
of
competition
before
we
step
into
society,
which
gives
us
a
(28)
______
(determine)
heart
and
teaches
us
to
step
forward
(29)
______
______
______
the
reality
is.
It’s
like
climbing
a
mountain,
which
might
make
you
dizzy
and
nervous,
but
the
top
is
always
there
waiting
for
you
as
long
as
you
are
strong
enough
(30)
______
(take)
one
more
step.
Meanwhile,
an
easy
life
is
not
always
good
for
us.
Even
some
of
my
American
friends
call
(31)______
“lazy
Americans”,
because
the
school
in
the
US
is
not
always
easy.
When
they
go
to
college,
they
also
need
to
work
very
hard.
We
complain
mainly
because
we
can’t
see
the
whole
picture.
Sometimes
we
just
simply
listen
to
others’
words
without
thinking
about
(32)
______they’re
true.
We
can’t
always
complain.
Instead,
we
all
need
to
understand
that
success
takes
efforts
and
tears.
(B)
People
in
all
parts
of
the
world
are
observing
“No
Tobacco
Day”.
It
is
the
day
(33)
_______
the
World
Health
Organization
(WHO)
appeals
to
people
to
stop
using
tobacco
products.
The
WTO
hopes
(34)________
people
stop
smoking
cigarettes
or
chewing
tobacco
for
one
day,
they
will
stop
permanently.
The
day
includes
special
ceremonies
and
awards
ceremonies
in
166
countries.
The
target
group
for
this
year’s
“
No
Tobacco
Day
”
is
women.
Organizers
want
to
make
sure
women
know
the
danger
of
smoking.
Health
experts
have
warned
for
years
that
smoking
(35)
________
lead
to
heart
disease,
cancer
and
other
problems.
The
WTO
says
diseases
linked
to
smoking
kill
at
least
2,500,000
persons
each
year.
Still,
many
people
find
it
difficult
to
stop
smoking.
One
reason
is
nicotine,
a
substance
found
in
cigarettes.
Nicotine
is
a
drug.
The
effects
of
it
are
similar
to
the
effects
of
cocaine
and
heroin.
“No
Tobacco
Day”
is
aimed
at
smokers
and
those
(36)
________
earn
money
from
tobacco
sales.
So
businesses
are
asked
to
stop
selling
tobacco
products
for
24
hours.
Newspapers
are
required
not
(37)
_________
(publish)
advertisements
for
cigarettes.
Two
important
developments
(38)
________
(observe)
in
recent
years.
In
industrial
countries,
the
number
of
smokers
has
been
falling
about
1%
a
year.
But
in
developing
countries,
the
number
of
smokers
has
been
rising
2%
a
year.
This
is
the
result
of
increased
efforts
by
tobacco
companies’
(39)
________
(sell)
their
products
in
developing
countries.
The
WTO
has
approved
plans
to
help
reach
its
goal
of
a
“smoke-free”
world.
(40)
________
governments
ought
to
offer
tobacco
farmers
is
the
chance
to
earn
money
by
growing
other
crops.
Another
involves
improved
public
information
campaigns
about
the
dangers
of
smoking.

Chinese
traders
were
recorded
as
making
voyages
to
the
north
coast
of
Australia
from
the
1750s,
but
were
probably
visiting
Australia
long
before.
Chinese
men
arrived
in
Australia
in
small
numbers
after
the
1788
British
settlement
as
free
settlers
and
criminals.
A
small
population
grew
rapidly
after
1848
under
a
system
of
indentured（契约的）labour,
after
China
had
__41__
its
ports
to
foreign
trade
in
1842.
They
worked
in
rural
New
South
Wales
as
cooks,
farm
labourers
and
etc.
Indentured
Chinese
__42__
worked
in
all
colonies
variously
as
station
hands,
plantation
workers,
miners,
on
public
works,
cabinet
makers,
personal
servants
and
in
laundries.
Most
came
from
the
south-eastern
provinces
of
Guangdong
and
Fujian.
Due
to
labour
__43__
in
West
Australia,
the
Colonial
Government
organized
Chinese
contract
labour
between
1847
and
1898,
most
working
as
labourers,
cooks
and
gardeners.
Many
Chinese
people
came
from
rural
backgrounds
and
brought
with
them
__44__
and
water
management
skills.
By
1885,
there
were
54
Chinese
market
gardens
in
Sydney.
By
1901,
67%
of
New
South
Wales
market
gardeners
were
Chinese.
Gold
rushes
in
Victoria
in
the
1850s
and
New
South
Wales
in
the
1860s

the
population
of
Chinese
immigrants
in
Australia;
about
45,000
prospectors
arrived
in
Victoria
alone
in
1854-58.
Numbers
continued
to
increase
as
gold
and
other
__46__
were
discovered
in
Queensland,
Northern
Territory
and
Tasmania.
When
mining
became
less
__47__,
many
Chinese
people
worked
successfully
to
provide
goods
and
services
such
as
furniture
making,
market
gardening,
fishing
and,
particularly,
store-keeping
including
the
import
and
export
of
goods
from
overseas.
Chinese
goods,
especially
tea,
silk,
vegetables,
herbs
and
other
spices
were
highly
sought
after
items
of
trade
by
non-Chinese
people.
Tea
rooms,
importing
and
selling
many
varieties
of
tea,
were
very
popular.
Chinese
silk
was
turned
into
__48__
evening
wear
and
cloaks
by
Chinese
tailors
and
seamstresses.
Today
there
is
a
culturally
diverse
Chinese

Reading
Comprehension
Section
A
Directions:
For
each
blank
in
the
following
passages
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.

Directions:
Read
the
following
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)
The
days
of
the
hunter
are
almost
over
in
India.
This
is
partly
because
there
is
practically
nothing
left
to
kill,
and
partly
because
some
steps
have
been
taken,
mainly
by
banning
tiger-shooting,
to
protect
those
animals
which
still
survive.
Some
people
say
that
Man
is
naturally
a
hunter.
I
disagree
with
this
view.
Surely
our
earliest
forefathers,
who
at
first
possessed
no
weapons,
spent
their
time
digging
for
roots,
and
were
no
doubt
themselves
often
hunted
by
meat-eating
animals.
I
believe
the
main
reason
why
the
modern
hunter
kills
is
that
he
thinks
people
will
admire
his
courage
in
overpowering
dangerous
animals.
Of
course,
there
are
some
who
truly
believe
that
the
killing
is
not
really
the
important
thing,
and
that
the
chief
pleasure
lies
in
the
joy
of
the
hunt
and
the
beauties
of
the
wild
countryside.
There
are
also
those
for
whom
hunting
in
fact
offers
a
chance
to
prove
themselves
and
risk
death
by
design;
these
men
go
out
after
dangerous
animals
like
tigers,
even
if
they
say
they
only
do
it
to
rid
the
countryside
of
a
threat.
I
can
respect
reasons
like
these,
but
they
are
clearly
different
from
the
need
to
strengthen
your
high
opinion
of
yourself.
The
greatest
big-game
hunters
expressed
in
their
writings
something
of
these
finer
motives.
One
of
them
wrote,
“You
must
properly
respect
what
you
are
after
and
shoot
it
cleanly
and
on
the
animal’s
own
territory.
You
must
fix
forever
in
your
mind
all
the
wonders
of
that
particular
day.
This
is
better
than
letting
him
grow
a
few
years
older
to
be
attacked
and
wounded
by
his
own
son
and
eventually
eaten,
half
alive,
by
other
animals,
Hunting
is
not
a
cruel
and
senseless
killing
–
not
if
you
respect
the
thing
you
kill,
not
if
you
kill
to
enrich
your
memories,
not
if
you
kill
to
feed
your
people.
”
I
can
understand
such
beliefs,
and
can
compare
these
hunters
with
those
who
hunted
lions
with
spears
and
bravely
caught
them
by
the
tail.
But
this
is
very
different
from
many
tiger-shoots
I
have
seen,
in
which
modern
weapons
were
used.
The
so-called
hunters
fired
from
tall
trees
or
from
the
backs
of
trained
elephants.
Such
methods
made
tigers
seem
no
more
dangerous
than
rabbits.
66.
There
is
no
more
hunting
in
India
now
partly
because
__________.
A.
it
is
dangerous
to
hunt
there
B.
hunting
is
already
out
of
date
C.
hunters
want
to
protect
animals
D.
there
are
few
animals
left
to
hunt
67.
The
author
thinks
modern
hunters
kill
mainly
__________.
A.
to
make
the
countryside
safe
B.
to
earn
people’s
admiration
C.
to
gain
power
and
influence
D.
to
improve
their
health
68.
What
do
we
learn
about
the
big-game
hunters
A.
They
hunt
old
animals.
B.
They
mistreat
animals.
C.
They
hunt
for
food.
D.
They
hunt
for
money.
69.
What
is
the
author’s
view
on
the
tiger-shoots
he
has
seen
A.
Modern
hunters
lack
the
courage
to
hunt
face-to-face.
B.
Modern
hunters
should
use
more
advanced
weapons.
C.
Modern
hunters
like
to
hunt
rabbits
instead
of
tigers.
D.
Modern
hunters
should
put
their
safety
first.
(B)
The
Internet
is
a
system
of
electronic
communication.
It
helps
people
share
information,
communicate
with
family
and
friends,
and
start
businesses.
But
these
people
must
have
use
for
a
computer,
and
know
how
to
use
it.
And
they
must
have
a
connection,
usually
through
a
telephone
line
or
an
Internet
center.
All
of
this
costs
money.
For
many
poor
people,
a
so-called“digital
divide”exists.
People
who
cannot
connect
to
the
Internet
become
poorer,
while
those
who
can
become
richer.
The
United
Nations
is
working
to
solve
this
problem.
In
December,
it
will
hold
a
conference
in
Geneva,
calling
the
World
Summit
on
the
Information
Society.
Political
and
business
leaders
will
come
together
with
delegates
from
nongovernmental
organizations,
educational
groups
and
others.
They
will
discuss
the
fast-growing
information
technology
industry
and
its
effects
on
the
world.
UN
organizers
say
they
hope
the
gathering
will
lead
to
a
political
declaration
and
action
plan.
The
goal
is
to
bridge
the
digital
divide
between
rich
and
poor
nations.
A
second
conference,
to
examine
progress,
will
take
place
in
Tunisia
in
2005.
UN
Secretary
General
Kofi
Annan
recently
spoke
to
business
leaders
at
a
meeting
in
New
York.
Mister
Annan
urged
them
to
take
part
in
the
World
Summit
on
the
Information
Society.
He
told
them
that
industry
can
play
an
important
part
in
limiting
technological
differences
between
countries.
He
noted
that
some
companies
already
made
efforts
to
improve
Internet
skills
among
poor
Americans.
The
UN
Secretary
General
urged
businesses
to
also
look
for
projects
in
developing
countries.
Cisco
Systems
in
San
Jose,
California,
is
one
company
that
already
does
that.
In
1997,
Cisco
began
a
special
program
to
teach
Internet
technology
skills
to
people
around
the
world.
Today,
the
Cisco
Networking
Academy
has
spread
to
145
nations.
Mister
Annan
says
more
ideals
like
this
are
needed
to
close
the
digital
divide.
He
says
information
technology
is
not
a
magic
answer
for
poor
nations,
but
it
can
lead
to
peace
and
development.
He
says
news
and
information
provided
through
the
Internet
help
build
trade,
employment,
good
government
and
democracy
around
the
world.

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

A.
Modern

B.
Modern

Section
C
Directions:
Read
the
following
passage.
Fill
in
each
blank
with
a
proper
sentence
given
in
the
box.
Each
sentence
can
be
used
only
once.
Note
that
there
are
two
more
sentences
than
you
need.
A.
Laughter
can
prolong
one’s
life.B.
As
a
result
of
these
discoveries,
some
doctors
in
the
United
States
now
hold
laughter
clinics
in
which
they
help
to
improve
their
patients’
condition
by
encouraging
them
to
laugh.
C.
The
reason
why
laughter
can
reduce
pain
seems
to
be
that
it
helps
to
produce
a
kind
of
chemicals
in
the
brain
which
diminish
both
stress
and
pain.D.
It
increases
blood
pressure,
the
heart
beating
and
breathing;
it
also
works
several
groups
of
muscles
in
the
face,
the
stomach
and
even
the
feet.E.
Although
laughter
helps
cure
the
disease,
doctors
still
can
not
put
this
theory
into
clinic
practice.F.
They
have
found
that
laughter
really
can
improve
people’s
health.
There
is
an
English
saying,“
Laughter
is
the
best
medicine.
”
Until
recently,
few
people
took
the
saying
seriously.
Now,
however,
doctors
have
begun
to
look
into
laughter
and
the
effects
it
has
on
the
human
body.
78
Tests
were
carried
out
to
study
the
effects
of
laughter
on
the
body.
People
watched
funny
films
while
doctors
checked
their
hearts,
blood
pressure,
breathing
and
muscles.
It
was
found
that
laughter
has
similar
effects
to
physical
exercise.
79
.
If
laughter
exercises
the
body,
it
must
be
beneficial.
Other
tests
have
shown
that
laughter
appears
to
be
able
to
reduce
the
effect
of
pain
on
the
body.
In
one
experiment
doctors
produced
pain
in
groups
of
students
who
listened
to
different
radio
programs.
The
group
that
tolerated(忍耐)
the
pain
for
the
longest
time
was
the
group
which
listened
to
a
funny
program.
80
81
.
They
have
found
that
even
if
their
patients
do
not
really
feel
like
laughing
,
making
them
smile
is
enough
to
produce
beneficial
effects
similar
to
those
caused
by
laughter.
