第I卷
I. Vocabulary (10’)
Directions: Complete 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.
commit B. confused C. fuel D. interacting AB. genuine AC. leap
AD. poison BC. setbacks BD. stream CD. upgrading ABC. unplug
With so many investments required of us to succeed – time, resources, talents, responsibilities, even finances for our retirement – it’s easy to lose sight of the most difficult investment of all to ____1____ to: ourselves.
Getting to the point where you’re ready to start ____2____ to you 2.0 isn’t easy. But it doesn’t mean dropping the ball everywhere else. It's not about omissions, but admissions. Come clean with yourself to kick-start your personal growth.
Unstuck starts with “u”
No one purposely chooses to stop learning and growing again, it just kind of happens in a lot of daily responsibilities and life. And if it were easy to just kick it into gear (挡位) again, you would have already done it. But the truth is inescapable. If you want to get off that place to higher ground, it’s up to you and only you. No one will just hand you a steady ____3____ of opportunities for growth.
You’ve been working in your life, not on it
Activity is often ____4____ with acceleration (忙碌). I was guilty of this for years in working place – staying always busy but not admitting I was bored. I was lost in activity and not stepping back to take time to question what I wanted my life to be. Once I began working on my life – quitting corporate, becoming an entrepreneur, restructuring to my life – I started growing once again. And I’ve never been happier.
Things aren’t happening to you, they’re happening for you
A victim mentality (心态) is the enemy of personal growth. Lamenting over everything that has gone wrong in your life only wastes energy from working to make more things go right. If you want to kick-start growth, you must view ____5____ as having a purpose, and then put them in their place. The past shouldn’t run or define you – only ____6____ you.
The perfect time to start doesn’t exist
I had so many things that had to be just right before I could make my long-planned ____7____ from corporate. I’d tell myself, “I’d love to go for it right now, but practically speaking.” Well, guess what? Practicality is ____8____. It’s the convenient excuse stopping you from what you’re meant to become.
It’s time to ____9____ others’ opinions
Grow where you want to grow. Learn what you want to learn. Wherever you are on the scale of what you want to learn next – be it beginner or near-expert own it, be proud of it. Pretences are for pretenders. You’re just trying to become a better version of your ____10____ self.
II. Reading Comprehension (30’+18’+6’)
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.
(A)
In the 1960s, African American mothers noticed something wrong in their children’s seemingly innocent class photos. Every year, youngsters tidied up in their Sunday best for their school picture, yet these treasured images didn’t __11__ Black and White children equally. White children were rendered (使成为) as they look in everyday life, while African American children lost __12__ of?their?faces and turned into ink blots (墨渍). The film could not simultaneously capture both dark and light skin. For decades, this flaw of the film remained out of __13__, when Black boys and girls and white boys and girls were photographed separately. But with the integration of schools, Black?mothers __14__ that color film left?their?Black children in the shadows.
In 2015, two London-based photographers, Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin, wanted to find out why the film could not capture the __15__ of children of all races in a school photograph. When these photographers tested the film, they found the film was optimized for __16__ skin. It was this film’s hidden history that was the __17__ faces in a class photo came out so differently.
All that changed, __18__, when large corporations made a fuss about Kodak’s film, which they bought in bulk for advertising. A team of two unlikely businesses – furniture makers and chocolate manufacturers – __19__ against Kodak’s films for discriminating against dark hues.
Kodak employees worked hard to fix the film, making new film formulations and testing them by taking photos. While the complaints from Black?mothers?could not change Kodak, those from these companies could. By the late 1970s, new — and more __20__ — formulations of color film were in the works, and the new and improved Kodak Gold film was on the market by the following decade.
Technologies, such as photographic films, sometimes capture the beliefs and values of the times. This bias built into technology?has __21__ today. Today, some web cameras, following instructions from algorithms (算法), are unable to recognize a dark face, but do so __22__ for a white one.
What the makers of film and cameras and other technologies have experienced is a tacit (心照不宣的) subscription to a belief of a standard. __23__, they have gotten on the escalator of “this is how we do things” without asking why. Scholars would describe this type of bias as one that implicitly (完全地) and __24__ accepts norms. But it isn’t the __25__ fault; they are only doing what the lines of code written by humans tell them to do. These devices capture the biases that exist in our world and, in turn, speak to whom a culture values.?

A. inconsistently B. unexpectedly C. inevitably D. uncritically
A. cameras’ B. technologies’ C. films’ D. humans’
(B)
David Dunning, a psychologist at Cornell University, and Justin Kruger, his graduate student, reason that while almost everyone holds favourable views of their abilities in various social and intellectual domains, some people mistakenly assess their abilities as being much higher than they actually are. This “illusion of ___26___” is now called the “Dunning-Kruger effect”, which describes the cognitive prejudice to increase self-assessment.
To ___27___ this phenomenon in the lab, Dunning and Kruger designed some clever experiments. In one study, they asked undergraduate students a series of questions about grammar, logic and jokes, and then asked each student to estimate his or her score overall, as well as their relative ___28___ compared to the other students. Interestingly, students who scored the lowest in these cognitive tasks always ___29___ how well they did – by a lot. Students who scored in the ___30___ one-fourth estimated that they had performed better than two-thirds of the other students!
This “illusion of confidence” ___31___ beyond the classroom and spreads through everyday life. In a follow-up study, Dunning and Kruger left the lab and went to a gun range, where they quizzed gun hobbyists about gun safety. ___32___ to their previous findings, those who answered the fewest questions correctly wildly overestimated their knowledge about firearms. Outside of factual knowledge, ___33___, the Dunning-Kruger effect can also be observed in people’s self-assessment of other personal abilities. If you watch any talent show on television today, you will see the ___34___ on the faces of contestants who don’t make it past auditions (海选) and are ___35___ by the judges. While it is almost ___36___ to us, these people are genuinely unaware of how much they have been ___37___ by their illusory superiority.
Sure, it’s typical for people to overestimate their abilities. One study found that 80 per cent of drivers rate themselves as above average. And similar ___38___ have been found when people rate their relative popularity and cognitive abilities. The problem is that when people are incompetent, not only do they reach wrong conclusions and make unfortunate choices but, also, they are ___39___ of the ability to realize their mistakes. Instead of being confused, perplexed or thoughtful about their erroneous ways, incompetent people insist that their ways are ___40___. As Charles Darwin wrote in The Descent of Man (1871): “Ignorance more frequently begets (产生) confidence than does knowledge.”

Section B
Directions: Read the following four 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)
Two hours from the tall buildings of Philadelphia live some of the world’s largest bears. They are in northern Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains, a home they share with an abundance (丰富) of other wildlife.
The streams, lakes, grasslands, mountain and forests that make the Poconos an ideal place for black bears have also attracted more people to the region. Open spaces are threatened by plans for housing estates and important habitats are endangered by highway construction. To protect the Pocono’s natural beauty from irresponsible development, the Nature Conservancy named the area one of America’s “Last Great Places”.
Operating out of a century-old schoolhouse in the village of Long Pond, Bud Cook, the president of the Conservancy, is working with local people and business leaders to balance economic growth with environmental protection. By forming partnerships with people like Francis Altemose, the Conservancy has been able to protect more than 14,000 acres of environmentally important land in the area.
Altemose’s family has farmed in the Pocono area for generations. Two years ago, Francis worked with the local branch of the Nature Conservancy to include his farm in a county farmland protection program. As a result, his family’s land can be protected from development and the Altemoses will be better able to provide a secure financial future for their 7-year-old grandson.
Cook attributes the Conservancy’s success in the Poconos to having a local presence and a commitment to working with local residents.
“The key to protecting these remarkable lands is connecting with the local community,” Cook said. “The people who live here respect the land. They value quiet forests, clear streams and abundant wildlife. They are eager to help with conservation efforts.”
For more information on how you can help the Nature Conservancy protect the Poconos and the world’s other “Last Great Places,” please call 1-888-564 6864 or visit us on the World Wide Web at www.tnc.org.
The purpose in naming the Poconos as one of America’s “Last Great Places” is to ________.
gain support from the local community
protect it from irresponsible development
make it a better home for black bears
provide financial security for future generations
We learn from the passage that ________.
the tourist industry is growing fast and has great influence on the Pocono area
wildlife in the Pocono area is dying out rapidly
the security of the Pocono residents is being threatened
farmlands in the Pocono area are shrinking fast
What does Bud Cook mean by “having a local presence” in Paragraph 5?
Financial contributions from local business leaders.
Consideration of the interests of the local residents.
The establishment of a wildlife protection foundation in the area.
The setting up of a local Nature Conservancy branch in the Pocono area.
What is important in protecting the Poconos according to Cook?
The setting up of an environmental protection website.
Support from organizations like the Nature Conservancy.
Cooperation with the local residents and business leaders.
Inclusion of farmlands in the region’s protection program.
(B)
Life was easier when it wasn’t so long: learn when you’re young, work while you’re able, then resign yourself to a slow period of repose — and decline. But in the past century, scientific advancements have added decades to the average human life span, leaving a person’s timeline with a long, often aimless tail.
Finding rewarding ways to fill these extra years — particularly in ways that emphasize social ties — is the best way to prolong them, research is finding. “The things that we understand now to be important for healthy longevity” — things like connecting with others, a positive outlook, making peace with getting older — “have been trivialized over the years by some scientists. We now know that shouldn’t be the case,” says Paul Irving, chairman of the Center for the Future of Aging at the Milken Institute, a think tank that studies older age. “One of the great opportunities we all have is to continue that search for meaning, that aspiration to do our most enjoyable and important work later in our lives.”
Here are other strategies that may help you make the most of your extra years.
EMBRACE TECHNOLOGY
It’s hard to beat face time, but FaceTime (and the like) can also help older adults feel less alone, research shows. “I think a lot of work can be done to make the existing social networks more accommodating to older adults,” Irving says.
WELCOME AGING
Your feelings about getting older might determine how well you age—and even how well your brain holds up against Alzheimer’s. A team of researchers at Yale University found that when people who thought negatively about aging were simply primed to view it in a better light, they said they felt more positively about aging and even showed improvements in physical strength.
SET GOALS, TAKE RISKS
Plenty of research links a sense of purpose to longevity. But how do people search for a purpose if they don’t have one? Take an online course, volunteer, do anything new that challenges you. “The assumption that you should only do one thing in your life, to me, makes no sense,” says Irving.
EXPECT THE BEST
People with a positive outlook recover better after having a heart attack than those who are more pessimistic, a recent study shows. That’s partly because a hopeful attitude is linked to other healthy behaviors, like quitting smoking and maintaining a healthy diet. Optimism is also linked to fewer chronic illnesses, less depression and even a stronger immune response to bugs like the flu.
What does Paul Irving mean by saying “that shouldn’t be the case” in Paragraph 2?
The things important for healthy long life are not proved scientifically.
Healthy longevity is not an appropriate case for scientists to focus on.
It’s improper for scientists to dismiss the things important for longevity.
Emphasizing social ties should not be dismissed by those scientists.
Which strategy mentioned in the article can help fight against Alzheimer’s disease?
Embrace technology B. Welcome aging C. Set goals, take risks D. Expect the best
Which of the following statement is true according to the article?
Doing one thing well in life makes extra years in life meaningful.
Technology promotes and strengthens old people’s social network.
Extra years should not be spent committing to enjoyable work.
A positive outlook contributes to quicker recovery and healthy behaviors.
(C)
The secret to eating less and being happy about it may have been cracked years ago by McDonald’s. According to a new study from Cornell University’s Food and Brand Lab, small non-food rewards – like the toys in McDonald’s Happy Meals – stimulate the same reward centers in the brain as food does.
The researchers, led by Martin Reimann, carried out a series of experiments to see if people would choose a smaller meal if it was paired with a non-food item.
They found that the majority of both kids and adults opted for a half-sized portion when combined with a prize. Both options were priced the same.
Even more interesting is that the promise of a future reward was enough to make adults choose the smaller portion. One of the prizes used was a lottery ticket (彩票), with a $10, $50 or $100 payout, and this was as effective as a tangible gift in persuading people to eat less.
“The fact that participants were willing to substitute part of a food item for the mere prospect of a relatively small monetary award is interesting,” says Reimann.
He theorizes that it is the emotional component of these intangible prizes that make them effective. In fact, vaguely-stated possibilities of winning a prize were more effective than options with hard odds included.
“One explanation for this finding is that possible awards may be more emotionally provoking than certainty awards,” says Reimann. “The uncertainty of winning provides added attraction and desirability through emotional ‘thrills’. The possibility of receiving an award also produces a state of hope – a state that is in itself psychologically rewarding.” In other words, there’s a reason why people like to gamble.
How might this knowledge be used to help people eat more healthily?
One possibility is a healthy option that offers the chance to win a spa weekend. Or maybe the reward of a half-sized portion could be a half-sized dessert to be claimed only on a future date. That would get you back in the restaurant – and make you eat a little less.
What do we learn about McDonald’s inclusion of toys in its Happy Meals?
It may throw light on people’s desire to crack a secret.
It has proved to be the key to McDonald’s business success.
It appeals to kids’ curiosity to find out what is hidden inside.
It may be a pleasant way for kids to reduce their food intake.
What is the finding of the researchers led by Martin Reimann?
Reducing food intake is not that difficult if people go to McDonald’s more often.
Most kids and adults don’t actually feel hungry when they eat half of their meals.
Eating a smaller portion of food does good to the health of kids and adults alike.
Most kids and adults would choose a smaller meal that came with a non-food item.
What is most interesting in Martin Reimann’s finding?
Kids preferred an award in the form of money to one in the form of a toy.
Adults chose the smaller portion on the mere promise of a future award.
Both kids and adults felt satisfied with only half of their meal portions.
Neither children nor adults could resist the temptation of a free toy.
How does Martin Reimann interpret his finding?
The emotional component of the prizes is at work.
People now care more about quality than quantity.
People prefer certainty awards to possible awards.
The desire for a future reward is overwhelming.
What can we infer from Martin Reimann’s finding?
People should eat much less if they want to stay healthy and happy.
More fast food restaurants are likely to follow McDonald’s example.
We can lead people to eat less while helping the restaurant business.
More studies are needed to find out the impact of emotion on behaviour.
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 that you need.
A. Another study of 302 volunteers at hospitals in Chicago focused on individual differences in the degree to which people view “volunteer” as an important social role.
B. To select volunteers, you may need to understand the motivations of the people you wish to attract.
C. When that happens, people become less likely to volunteer in the future.
D. So it is of great importance to study volunteer behaviors and how to organize volunteer activities.
AB. To do so, it should help to understand why people undertake volunteer work and what keeps their interest in the work.
AC. These results also suggest that continued efforts might focus on developing a volunteer role identity.
Suppose you become a leader in an organization. It’s very likely that you’ll want to have volunteers to help with the organization’s activities. 53
Let’s begin with the question of why people volunteer. Researchers have identified several factors that motivate people to get involved. For example, people volunteer to express personal values related to unselfishness, to expand their range of experiences, and to strengthen social relationships. If volunteer positions do not meet these needs, people may not wish to participate. 54
People also volunteer because they are required to do so. To increase levels of community service, some schools have launched compulsory volunteer programs. Unfortunately, these programs can shift people’s wish of participation from an internal factor (e.g., “I volunteer because it’s important to me”) to an external factor (e.g., “I volunteer because I’m required to do so”). 55 People must be sensitive to this possibility when they make volunteer activities a must.
Once people begin to volunteer, what leads them to remain in their positions over time? To answer this question, researchers have conducted follow-up studies in which they track volunteers over time. Having followed 238 volunteers in Florida over a year, they have found that one of the most important factors that influenced their satisfaction as volunteers was the amount of suffering they experienced in their volunteer positions. This result may lead to practical advice. The researchers note that attention should be given to “training methods that would prepare volunteers for troublesome situations or provide them with strategies for coping with the problem they do experience”.
56 It was assumed that those people for whom the role of volunteer was most part of their personal identity would also be most likely to continue volunteer work. Participants indicated the degree to which the social role mattered by responding to statements such as “Volunteering in Hospital is an important part of who I am.” Consistent with the researchers’ expectations, they found a positive correlation between the strength of role identity and the length of time people continued to volunteer.
第II卷
Section A (20’)
Directions: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
(A)
Are Bamboo-Eating Pandas Really Herbivores?
On the outside, giant pandas look like herbivores (食草动物). They spend nearly all of their waking hours ___1___ (eat) bamboo. But on the inside, they’re built like carnivores (食肉动物). About half of the calories they eat come from protein, according to a new study.
The ancestor of giant pandas were omnivorous (杂食的). They ate both animals and plants, and had the digestive system and gut bacteria to metabolize (使发生新陈代谢) them. They had “umami taste receptors,” to appreciate the flavors of meat.
However, about 2.4 million years ago, things began to change. The gene for their “umami taste receptors” became ___2___ (active). Their jaw and teeth evolved to help them crush bamboo, and their wrist bone became capable of grasping the stalks (秆) of their favorite plant. Scientists think pandas switched to eating bamboo partly ___3___ they didn’t have to fight with other animals to get it. Bamboo is high in fiber but has a low concentration of nutrients, so pandas ___4___ ___4___ eat 20 to 40 pounds of the plant every day just to get by.
David Raubenheimer, a nutritional ecologist at the University of Sydney, and his colleagues put GPS trackers on two giant pandas and followed their movements throughout the year. They discovered that the pandas followed the protein. Between August and April, they___5___ (seek) food in low elevations (海拔) on China’s Qinling Mountains. At the start of the cycle, they ate Bashania fargesii leaves ___6___ they got the chance to feast on young shoots, which contained more protein.
The more the shoots grew, the more their protein was diluted (冲淡) by fiber. That caused the pandas to move to higher ground, ___7___ Fargesia qinlingensis grew. First, they ate the shoots, but these, too, went from being protein-rich to fiber-rich as they grew. The pandas responded by switching to the leaves. They fed ___8___ them until they went back down the mountain and started eating Bashania fargesii leaves again. The researchers found that about half of the calories the pandas ate were in the form of protein.
Scientists think the research shows that pandas are very clever. “They can know exactly where to go, and when to go, so they can get the most of the nutrients ___9___ their ecosystem can provide,” said Silvia Pineda-Munoz, who was not involved in the study.
The work also shows that classifying an animal as herbivore or carnivore is more complex than one might assume. “It’s not ___10___ you’re eating plants but what part of the plants you’re eating,” said Pineda-Munoz.
(B)
Four-mile Stretches
From my home on California’s Monterey Peninsula, there is no easy way to get anywhere. To go north, for instance, to San Francisco, you take Highway. 1, and proceed to 101, also known as the Freeway to Make You Lose Your Religion.
Most of that route is a multi-lane road, ___11___ depending on weather and traffic, can either take you where you’re going or drive you out of your mind. Sometimes it does ___12___.?But the part I dread most — or ___13___ at one time — is a two-lane stretch of 156 that connects highways 1 and 101.?In the South, where I grew up, such roads are called cow trails because they’re frequented by tractors and other slow-moving vehicles that trot along, nose to tail, at bovine speed; and also because if you get on such a road, you’ll be ___14___ it until the cows come home.
In some ways, roads are like people; they have personalities that are shaped by how we see them and feel about them.?I discovered that when my first husband was diagnosed with cancer and we began ___15___ would be a four-year pilgrimage to Stanford Medical Center for treatment.
It was 91 miles — two hours, give or take — and I hated every inch of it, especially, that two-lane bottleneck. I did everything I could to avoid it. I begged to get appointments at off-peak times, only to end up ___16___ (stick) in rush-hour traffic going home. I spent hours poring over maps and drove miles out of the way trying to get around it, only to realize it really didn’t matter; there was no ___17___ (get) around it.
I had no choice but to drive it. But that didn’t mean I had to like it. I ___18___ clench my teeth, grip the wheel and feel my stomach churn. Once, when running late for an appointment, I muttered, “I hate this stupid road.” I didn’t think my husband could hear me. Morphine is great for pain, but it doesn’t do much for conversation.
“Four miles,” he said.
I looked over. His eyes were closed. “What did you say?”
“This part of the road,” he said, using his teaching voice, ___19___ ___19___ lecturing his high school physics students. “It’s only four miles long. That’s easy. You can do anything for four miles.”
I clocked it. He was right. Four miles exactly. I ___20___ (swear) it was 20.
And then a strange thing happened. Somehow, that drive got easier. I don’t mean it seemed easier; I mean it was.
Sometimes, when the road ahead seems longer and harder than I want it to be, I break it up in pieces, in my mind and my heart and even my soul. I divide it into four-mile stretches and take them one at a time.
Some roads seem impassable.
But you can do anything for four miles.

With so many investments required of us to succeed – time, resources, talents, responsibilities, even finances for our retirement – it’s easy to lose sight of the most difficult investment of all to ____1____ to: ourselves.
Getting to the point where you’re ready to start ____2____ to you 2.0 isn’t easy. But it doesn’t mean dropping the ball everywhere else. It's not about omissions, but admissions. Come clean with yourself to kick-start your personal growth.
Unstuck starts with “u”
No one purposely chooses to stop learning and growing again, it just kind of happens in a lot of daily responsibilities and life. And if it were easy to just kick it into gear (挡位) again, you would have already done it. But the truth is inescapable. If you want to get off that place to higher ground, it’s up to you and only you. No one will just hand you a steady ____3____ of opportunities for growth.
You’ve been working in your life, not on it
Activity is often ____4____ with acceleration (忙碌). I was guilty of this for years in working place – staying always busy but not admitting I was bored. I was lost in activity and not stepping back to take time to question what I wanted my life to be. Once I began working on my life – quitting corporate, becoming an entrepreneur, restructuring to my life – I started growing once again. And I’ve never been happier.
Things aren’t happening to you, they’re happening for you
A victim mentality (心态) is the enemy of personal growth. Lamenting over everything that has gone wrong in your life only wastes energy from working to make more things go right.

II. Reading Comprehension (30’+18’+6’)
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.
(A)
In the 1960s, African American mothers noticed something wrong in their children’s seemingly innocent class photos. Every year, youngsters tidied up in their Sunday best for their school picture, yet these treasured images didn’t __11__ Black and White children equally. White children were rendered (使成为) as they look in everyday life, while African American children lost __12__ of?their?faces and turned into ink blots (墨渍). The film could not simultaneously capture both dark and light skin. For decades, this flaw of the film remained out of __13__, when Black boys and girls and white boys and girls were photographed separately. But with the integration of schools, Black?mothers __14__ that color film left?their?Black children in the shadows.
In 2015, two London-based photographers, Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin, wanted to find out why the film could not capture the __15__ of children of all races in a school photograph. When these photographers tested the film, they found the film was optimized for __16__ skin. It was this film’s hidden history that was the __17__ faces in a class photo came out so differently.
All that changed, __18__, when large corporations made a fuss about Kodak’s film, which they bought in bulk for advertising. A team of two unlikely businesses – furniture makers and chocolate manufacturers – __19__ against Kodak’s films for discriminating against dark hues.
Kodak employees worked hard to fix the film, making new film formulations and testing them by taking photos. While the complaints from Black?mothers?could not change Kodak, those from these companies could. By the late 1970s, new — and more __20__ — formulations of color film were in the works, and the new and improved Kodak Gold film was on the market by the following decade.
Technologies, such as photographic films, sometimes capture the beliefs and values of the times. This bias built into technology?has __21__ today. Today, some web cameras, following instructions from algorithms (算法), are unable to recognize a dark face, but do so __22__ for a white one.
What the makers of film and cameras and other technologies have experienced is a tacit (心照不宣的) subscription to a belief of a standard. __23__, they have gotten on the escalator of “this is how we do things” without asking why. Scholars would describe this type of bias as one that implicitly (完全地) and __24__ accepts norms. But it isn’t the __25__ fault; they are only doing what the lines of code written by humans tell them to do. These devices capture the biases that exist in our world and, in turn, speak to whom a culture values.?

(B)
David Dunning, a psychologist at Cornell University, and Justin Kruger, his graduate student, reason that while almost everyone holds favourable views of their abilities in various social and intellectual domains, some people mistakenly assess their abilities as being much higher than they actually are. This “illusion of ___26___” is now called the “Dunning-Kruger effect”, which describes the cognitive prejudice to increase self-assessment.
To ___27___ this phenomenon in the lab, Dunning and Kruger designed some clever experiments. In one study, they asked undergraduate students a series of questions about grammar, logic and jokes, and then asked each student to estimate his or her score overall, as well as their relative ___28___ compared to the other students. Interestingly, students who scored the lowest in these cognitive tasks always ___29___ how well they did – by a lot. Students who scored in the ___30___ one-fourth estimated that they had performed better than two-thirds of the other students!
This “illusion of confidence” ___31___ beyond the classroom and spreads through everyday life. In a follow-up study, Dunning and Kruger left the lab and went to a gun range, where they quizzed gun hobbyists about gun safety. ___32___ to their previous findings, those who answered the fewest questions correctly wildly overestimated their knowledge about firearms. Outside of factual knowledge, ___33___, the Dunning-Kruger effect can also be observed in people’s self-assessment of other personal abilities. If you watch any talent show on television today, you will see the ___34___ on the faces of contestants who don’t make it past auditions (海选) and are ___35___ by the judges. While it is almost ___36___ to us, these people are genuinely unaware of how much they have been ___37___ by their illusory superiority.
Sure, it’s typical for people to overestimate their abilities. One study found that 80 per cent of drivers rate themselves as above average. And similar ___38___ have been found when people rate their relative popularity and cognitive abilities. The problem is that when people are incompetent, not only do they reach wrong conclusions and make unfortunate choices but, also, they are ___39___ of the ability to realize their mistakes. Instead of being confused, perplexed or thoughtful about their erroneous ways, incompetent people insist that their ways are ___40___. As Charles Darwin wrote in The Descent of Man (1871): “Ignorance more frequently begets (产生) confidence than does knowledge.”

Section B
Directions: Read the following four 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)
Two hours from the tall buildings of Philadelphia live some of the world’s largest bears. They are in northern Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains, a home they share with an abundance (丰富) of other wildlife.
The streams, lakes, grasslands, mountain and forests that make the Poconos an ideal place for black bears have also attracted more people to the region. Open spaces are threatened by plans for housing estates and important habitats are endangered by highway construction. To protect the Pocono’s natural beauty from irresponsible development, the Nature Conservancy named the area one of America’s “Last Great Places”.
Operating out of a century-old schoolhouse in the village of Long Pond, Bud Cook, the president of the Conservancy, is working with local people and business leaders to balance economic growth with environmental protection. By forming partnerships with people like Francis Altemose, the Conservancy has been able to protect more than 14,000 acres of environmentally important land in the area.
Altemose’s family has farmed in the Pocono area for generations. Two years ago, Francis worked with the local branch of the Nature Conservancy to include his farm in a county farmland protection program. As a result, his family’s land can be protected from development and the Altemoses will be better able to provide a secure financial future for their 7-year-old grandson.
Cook attributes the Conservancy’s success in the Poconos to having a local presence and a commitment to working with local residents.
“The key to protecting these remarkable lands is connecting with the local community,” Cook said. “The people who live here respect the land. They value quiet forests, clear streams and abundant wildlife. They are eager to help with conservation efforts.”
For more information on how you can help the Nature Conservancy protect the Poconos and the world’s other “Last Great Places,” please call 1-888-564 6864 or visit us on the World Wide Web at www.tnc.org.
The purpose in naming the Poconos as one of America’s “Last Great Places” is to ________.
gain support from the local community
protect it from irresponsible development
make it a better home for black bears
provide financial security for future generations
We learn from the passage that ________.
the tourist industry is growing fast and has great influence on the Pocono area
wildlife in the Pocono area is dying out rapidly
the security of the Pocono residents is being threatened
farmlands in the Pocono area are shrinking fast
What does Bud Cook mean by “having a local presence” in Paragraph 5?
Financial contributions from local business leaders.
Consideration of the interests of the local residents.
The establishment of a wildlife protection foundation in the area.
The setting up of a local Nature Conservancy branch in the Pocono area.
What is important in protecting the Poconos according to Cook?
The setting up of an environmental protection website.
Support from organizations like the Nature Conservancy.
Cooperation with the local residents and business leaders.
Inclusion of farmlands in the region’s protection program.

Life was easier when it wasn’t so long: learn when you’re young, work while you’re able, then resign yourself to a slow period of repose — and decline. But in the past century, scientific advancements have added decades to the average human life span, leaving a person’s timeline with a long, often aimless tail.
Finding rewarding ways to fill these extra years — particularly in ways that emphasize social ties — is the best way to prolong them, research is finding. “The things that we understand now to be important for healthy longevity” — things like connecting with others, a positive outlook, making peace with getting older — “have been trivialized over the years by some scientists. We now know that shouldn’t be the case,” says Paul Irving, chairman of the Center for the Future of Aging at the Milken Institute, a think tank that studies older age. “One of the great opportunities we all have is to continue that search for meaning, that aspiration to do our most enjoyable and important work later in our lives.”
Here are other strategies that may help you make the most of your extra years.
EMBRACE TECHNOLOGY
It’s hard to beat face time, but FaceTime (and the like) can also help older adults feel less alone, research shows. “I think a lot of work can be done to make the existing social networks more accommodating to older adults,” Irving says.
WELCOME AGING
Your feelings about getting older might determine how well you age—and even how well your brain holds up against Alzheimer’s. A team of researchers at Yale University found that when people who thought negatively about aging were simply primed to view it in a better light, they said they felt more positively about aging and even showed improvements in physical strength.
SET GOALS, TAKE RISKS
Plenty of research links a sense of purpose to longevity. But how do people search for a purpose if they don’t have one? Take an online course, volunteer, do anything new that challenges you. “The assumption that you should only do one thing in your life, to me, makes no sense,” says Irving.
EXPECT THE BEST
People with a positive outlook recover better after having a heart attack than those who are more pessimistic, a recent study shows. That’s partly because a hopeful attitude is linked to other healthy behaviors, like quitting smoking and maintaining a healthy diet. Optimism is also linked to fewer chronic illnesses, less depression and even a stronger immune response to bugs like the flu.
What does Paul Irving mean by saying “that shouldn’t be the case” in Paragraph 2?
The things important for healthy long life are not proved scientifically.
Healthy longevity is not an appropriate case for scientists to focus on.
It’s improper for scientists to dismiss the things important for longevity.
Emphasizing social ties should not be dismissed by those scientists.
Which strategy mentioned in the article can help fight against Alzheimer’s disease?
Embrace technology B. Welcome aging C. Set goals, take risks D. Expect the best
Which of the following statement is true according to the article?
Doing one thing well in life makes extra years in life meaningful.
Technology promotes and strengthens old people’s social network.
Extra years should not be spent committing to enjoyable work.
A positive outlook contributes to quicker recovery and healthy behaviors.
(C)
The secret to eating less and being happy about it may have been cracked years ago by McDonald’s. According to a new study from Cornell University’s Food and Brand Lab, small non-food rewards – like the toys in McDonald’s Happy Meals – stimulate the same reward centers in the brain as food does.
The researchers, led by Martin Reimann, carried out a series of experiments to see if people would choose a smaller meal if it was paired with a non-food item.
They found that the majority of both kids and adults opted for a half-sized portion when combined with a prize. Both options were priced the same.
Even more interesting is that the promise of a future reward was enough to make adults choose the smaller portion. One of the prizes used was a lottery ticket (彩票), with a $10, $50 or $100 payout, and this was as effective as a tangible gift in persuading people to eat less.
“The fact that participants were willing to substitute part of a food item for the mere prospect of a relatively small monetary award is interesting,” says Reimann.
He theorizes that it is the emotional component of these intangible prizes that make them effective. In fact, vaguely-stated possibilities of winning a prize were more effective than options with hard odds included.
“One explanation for this finding is that possible awards may be more emotionally provoking than certainty awards,” says Reimann. “The uncertainty of winning provides added attraction and desirability through emotional ‘thrills’. The possibility of receiving an award also produces a state of hope – a state that is in itself psychologically rewarding.” In other words, there’s a reason why people like to gamble.
How might this knowledge be used to help people eat more healthily?
One possibility is a healthy option that offers the chance to win a spa weekend. Or maybe the reward of a half-sized portion could be a half-sized dessert to be claimed only on a future date. That would get you back in the restaurant – and make you eat a little less.
What do we learn about McDonald’s inclusion of toys in its Happy Meals?
It may throw light on people’s desire to crack a secret.
It has proved to be the key to McDonald’s business success.
It appeals to kids’ curiosity to find out what is hidden inside.
It may be a pleasant way for kids to reduce their food intake.
What is the finding of the researchers led by Martin Reimann?
Reducing food intake is not that difficult if people go to McDonald’s more often.
Most kids and adults don’t actually feel hungry when they eat half of their meals.
Eating a smaller portion of food does good to the health of kids and adults alike.
Most kids and adults would choose a smaller meal that came with a non-food item.
What is most interesting in Martin Reimann’s finding?
Kids preferred an award in the form of money to one in the form of a toy.
Adults chose the smaller portion on the mere promise of a future award.
Both kids and adults felt satisfied with only half of their meal portions.
Neither children nor adults could resist the temptation of a free toy.
How does Martin Reimann interpret his finding?
The emotional component of the prizes is at work.
People now care more about quality than quantity.
People prefer certainty awards to possible awards.
The desire for a future reward is overwhelming.
What can we infer from Martin Reimann’s finding?
People should eat much less if they want to stay healthy and happy.
More fast food restaurants are likely to follow McDonald’s example.
We can lead people to eat less while helping the restaurant business.
More studies are needed to find out the impact of emotion on behaviour.
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 that you need.
A. Another study of 302 volunteers at hospitals in Chicago focused on individual differences in the degree to which people view “volunteer” as an important social role.
B. To select volunteers, you may need to understand the motivations of the people you wish to attract.
C. When that happens, people become less likely to volunteer in the future.
D. So it is of great importance to study volunteer behaviors and how to organize volunteer activities.
AB. To do so, it should help to understand why people undertake volunteer work and what keeps their interest in the work.
AC. These results also suggest that continued efforts might focus on developing a volunteer role identity.
Suppose you become a leader in an organization. It’s very likely that you’ll want to have volunteers to help with the organization’s activities. 53
Let’s begin with the question of why people volunteer. Researchers have identified several factors that motivate people to get involved. For example, people volunteer to express personal values related to unselfishness, to expand their range of experiences, and to strengthen social relationships. If volunteer positions do not meet these needs, people may not wish to participate. 54
People also volunteer because they are required to do so. To increase levels of community service, some schools have launched compulsory volunteer programs. Unfortunately, these programs can shift people’s wish of participation from an internal factor (e.g., “I volunteer because it’s important to me”) to an external factor (e.g., “I volunteer because I’m required to do so”). 55 People must be sensitive to this possibility when they make volunteer activities a must.
Once people begin to volunteer, what leads them to remain in their positions over time? To answer this question, researchers have conducted follow-up studies in which they track volunteers over time. Having followed 238 volunteers in Florida over a year, they have found that one of the most important factors that influenced their satisfaction as volunteers was the amount of suffering they experienced in their volunteer positions. This result may lead to practical advice. The researchers note that attention should be given to “training methods that would prepare volunteers for troublesome situations or provide them with strategies for coping with the problem they do experience”.
56 It was assumed that those people for whom the role of volunteer was most part of their personal identity would also be most likely to continue volunteer work. Participants indicated the degree to which the social role mattered by responding to statements such as “Volunteering in Hospital is an important part of who I am.” Consistent with the researchers’ expectations, they found a positive correlation between the strength of role identity and the length of time people continued to volunteer.

Section A (20’)
Directions: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
(A)
Are Bamboo-Eating Pandas Really Herbivores?
On the outside, giant pandas look like herbivores (食草动物). They spend nearly all of their waking hours ___1___ (eat) bamboo. But on the inside, they’re built like carnivores (食肉动物). About half of the calories they eat come from protein, according to a new study.
The ancestor of giant pandas were omnivorous (杂食的). They ate both animals and plants, and had the digestive system and gut bacteria to metabolize (使发生新陈代谢) them. They had “umami taste receptors,” to appreciate the flavors of meat.
However, about 2.4 million years ago, things began to change. The gene for their “umami taste receptors” became ___2___ (active). Their jaw and teeth evolved to help them crush bamboo, and their wrist bone became capable of grasping the stalks (秆) of their favorite plant. Scientists think pandas switched to eating bamboo partly ___3___ they didn’t have to fight with other animals to get it. Bamboo is high in fiber but has a low concentration of nutrients, so pandas ___4___ ___4___ eat 20 to 40 pounds of the plant every day just to get by.
David Raubenheimer, a nutritional ecologist at the University of Sydney, and his colleagues put GPS trackers on two giant pandas and followed their movements throughout the year. They discovered that the pandas followed the protein. Between August and April, they___5___ (seek) food in low elevations (海拔) on China’s Qinling Mountains. At the start of the cycle, they ate Bashania fargesii leaves ___6___ they got the chance to feast on young shoots, which contained more protein.
The more the shoots grew, the more their protein was diluted (冲淡) by fiber. That caused the pandas to move to higher ground, ___7___ Fargesia qinlingensis grew. First, they ate the shoots, but these, too, went from being protein-rich to fiber-rich as they grew. The pandas responded by switching to the leaves. They fed ___8___ them until they went back down the mountain and started eating Bashania fargesii leaves again. The researchers found that about half of the calories the pandas ate were in the form of protein.
Scientists think the research shows that pandas are very clever. “They can know exactly where to go, and when to go, so they can get the most of the nutrients ___9___ their ecosystem can provide,” said Silvia Pineda-Munoz, who was not involved in the study.
The work also shows that classifying an animal as herbivore or carnivore is more complex than one might assume. “It’s not ___10___ you’re eating plants but what part of the plants you’re eating,” said Pineda-Munoz.
(B)
Four-mile Stretches
From my home on California’s Monterey Peninsula, there is no easy way to get anywhere. To go north, for instance, to San Francisco, you take Highway. 1, and proceed to 101, also known as the Freeway to Make You Lose Your Religion.
Most of that route is a multi-lane road, ___11___ depending on weather and traffic, can either take you where you’re going or drive you out of your mind. Sometimes it does ___12___.?But the part I dread most — or ___13___ at one time — is a two-lane stretch of 156 that connects highways 1 and 101.?In the South, where I grew up, such roads are called cow trails because they’re frequented by tractors and other slow-moving vehicles that trot along, nose to tail, at bovine speed; and also because if you get on such a road, you’ll be ___14___ it until the cows come home.
In some ways, roads are like people; they have personalities that are shaped by how we see them and feel about them.?I discovered that when my first husband was diagnosed with cancer and we began ___15___ would be a four-year pilgrimage to Stanford Medical Center for treatment.
It was 91 miles — two hours, give or take — and I hated every inch of it, especially, that two-lane bottleneck. I did everything I could to avoid it. I begged to get appointments at off-peak times, only to end up ___16___ (stick) in rush-hour traffic going home. I spent hours poring over maps and drove miles out of the way trying to get around it, only to realize it really didn’t matter; there was no ___17___ (get) around it.
I had no choice but to drive it. But that didn’t mean I had to like it. I ___18___ clench my teeth, grip the wheel and feel my stomach churn. Once, when running late for an appointment, I muttered, “I hate this stupid road.” I didn’t think my husband could hear me. Morphine is great for pain, but it doesn’t do much for conversation.
“Four miles,” he said.
I looked over. His eyes were closed. “What did you say?”
“This part of the road,” he said, using his teaching voice, ___19___ ___19___ lecturing his high school physics students. “It’s only four miles long. That’s easy. You can do anything for four miles.”
I clocked it. He was right. Four miles exactly. I ___20___ (swear) it was 20.
And then a strange thing happened. Somehow, that drive got easier. I don’t mean it seemed easier; I mean it was.
Sometimes, when the road ahead seems longer and harder than I want it to be, I break it up in pieces, in my mind and my heart and even my soul. I divide it into four-mile stretches and take them one at a time.
Some roads seem impassable.
But you can do anything for four miles.
