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)
If your in-box is currently reporting unread messages in the hundreds or thousands, you might have a hard time believing the news: e-mail is on the decline.
At first blush, that might seem to be the case. The incoming generation, after all, doesn't do e-mail. Oh, they might have an account. They use it only as we would a fax machine: as a means to communicate with old-school folks like their parents or to fulfill the sign-up requirements of Web sites. They rarely check it, though.
Today's instant electronic memos-such as texting and Facebook and Twitter
messages-are more direct, more concentrated, more efficient. They go without the salutation(稱呼語) and the signoff; we already know the "to" and ';from." Many corporations are moving to messaging networks for exactly that reason: more signal, less noise and less time. This trend is further evidence that store-and-forward systems such as e-mail and voicemail are ead of my leaving you a lengthy message that you pick up later, I can now send you an unobtrusive, easily -consumed message that you can read-and respond to-on the go.
The decline of e-mail corresponds neatly to the dawn of the mobile era. Instantaneous(及時)written messages are different. These are neatly tailored to fit in just about any time: before a movie, in a taxi, waiting for lunch. And because these notes are invariably brief, they're a natural for smart phone typing. With these formats, you also have control over who can correspond with you, which you usually don't in e-mail. And especially on Facebook, instant messaging can take
on the character of a chat room, where several people can talk at once.
Does this mean e-mail is on its way to the dustbin of digital history? Not necessarily. E-mail still has certain advantages. On the other hand , tweets and texts feel ephemeral-you read them,then they're gone, into an endless string, e-mail still feels like something you have and that you can file, search and return to later. It's easy to imagine that it will continue to feel more appropriate for formal communications: agreements, important news, longer explanations.
So, e-mail won't go away completely. Remember, we've been through a transition like this not so long ago: when e-mail was on the rise, people said that postal mail was dead. That's not how it works. Postal mail found its smaller niche, and so will e-mail. Technology rarely replaces an institution completely; it just adds new avenues.
56. What would the incoming generation like to do with their e-mail accounts?
A. Contact close friends B. Send long messages
C. Fill in some forms D. Communicate with their colleagues
57. Which of the following is mainly discussed in the paragraph 3 and 4?
A. The possible reasons behind the decline of e-mail
B. The likes and dislikes of the young generation
C. The rapid development of e-communication channels
D. Evidence about the uncertain future of easily -consumed messages
58. What does the underlined word “ ephemeral” in paragraph 5 mean ?
A. Automatically -sending B. Randomly -written
C. Hardly -recognized D. Shortly -appearing
59. According to the passage , which of the following statements is true ?
A. It's too early to determine the decline of e-mail
B. E-mail has reasons to exist on its own advantage
C. E-mail , just like postal mail has come to its end
D. We should feel sorry for the decline of e-mail
(B)
The Film : The Great Gatsby (Based on Fitzgerald's Novel The Great Gatsby)
Director : Baz Luhrrmann Cast : Leonardo DiCaprio as Jay Gatsby
Film Reviews :
If you have never read the classic F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby, now is your chance to catch up - by watching the latest film adaptation. Because if there's one sentence to sum up the film, it would be: It's just like the book.
The use of music is almost reason enough to see the film. "Luhrmann is at his best mixing visual and musical styles together to create something wholly original, For example, in one of the most outstanding scenes in the film, the first party scene, Nick walks quickly from one party guest to another party guest trying to explain all the gossip about Gatsby until he is finally introduced to the man himself, while the most stirring version of Rhapsody in Blue(藍色狂想曲), which was composed by American musician George Gershwin in 1924, is played in the background.
—Fox News
Director Baz Luhrmann's main challenge was either to find a visual equivalent(相等物)for Fitzgerald's elegant quality - the open secret of the book's popularity for so long time - or to match his own unusual personal strength with the material. He tries it both ways, with considerable degrees of success. Leonardo DiCaprio does a good and professional job as the socialite(社會名流) by recreating Fitzgerald's description of Gatsby's charm. "He can look at someone for an instant and understand how, perfectly, he or she wants to be seen.
-Time Magazine
About the Book and the Main Character :
Considered to be Fitzgerald's representative work, The Great Gatsby explores themes of idealism, resistance to change, social change, and excess, creating a portrait of the Jazz Age or he Roaring Twenties that has been described as a tale regarding the American Dream. Nick, the narrator, moves to New York for the summer to visit his cousin Daisy. His next-door neighbor is Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio), who rarely contacts with others and is said to be a hero of the Great War. Gatsby claims to have attended Oxford University, but the evidence is suspect. As Nick learns more about Gatsby, every detail about him seems questionable, except his love for the Daisy. Though Daisy is married, Gatsby still loves her as his "golden girl". They first met when she was a young lady from a wealthy family and he was a working-class military officer. Daisy promised to wait for his return from the war. However, she married Tom, a classmate of Nick's. Having obtained a great fortune, Gatsby sets out to win her back again.
60. The Fox News review mentioned the first party scene in the film to_____.
A. reveal the fact that Nick wants to know more about Gatsby.
B. show the version of Rhapsody in Blue matches the film well.
6C. prove that the director is good at combining visual and music.
D. convince us that the first scene is perfectly filmed by the director.
61. According to Time Magazine, what did Baz Luhrmann do to make the film a success?
A. He adapted the story in the novel as he wished.
B. He made the film more powerful than the book.
C. He mixed his style with the elegance of the book.
D. He changed the story to meet his own style.
62. Which of the following can be used to describe Gatsby?
A. Faithful and warm-hearted.
B. Charming and professional.
C. Selfish and timid.
D. Mysterious and devoted.
(C)
The British Medical Journal recently featured a strong response to what was judged an inappropriately merciful reaction by a medical school to a student cheating in an ough we have insufficient reliable data about the extent of this phenomenon, its prevention, or its effective management, much can be concluded and acted upon on the basis of common sense.
There is general agreement that there should be zero tolerance of cheating in a profession based on trust and one on which human lives depend. It is reasonable to assume that cheaters in medical school will be more likely than others to continue to act dishonestly with patients, colleagues, and government.
The behaviors under question are multifactorial in origin. There are familial(家庭的), religious,and cultural values that are acquired long before medical school. For example, countries, cultures,and subcultures exist where bribes and dishonest behaviour are very normal. There are secondary schools in which neither staff nor students tolerate cheating and others where cheating is common;there are homes which cultivate young people with high standards of moral behaviour and otherswhich leave moral training to the harmful influence of television and the market place.
Medical schools reflect society and cannot be expected to remedy all the ills of a society. The selection process of medical students might be expected to favour applicants with positive moral behaviour. Medical schools should be the major focus of attention for cultivating future doctors with moral sensitivity. Unfortunately there are troubling data that suggest that during medical school the moral behaviour of medical students does not necessarily improve; indeed, moral development may actually stop or even regress (倒退) .
It is critical that the academic and clinical leaders of the institution set a personal example on moral behaviour. Medical schools must do something to make sure that their students are expected to be clear from day one. The development of a school's culture of moral behaviour requires cooperation with the students in which they play an active role in its creation and over, the school's examination system and general treatment of students must be fair. Finally,
the treatment of infractions must be firm, fair, transparent(透明的)
63. What does the author say about cheating in medical schools?
A. Extensive research has been done about this phenomenon.
have sufficient data to prove that prevention is possible.
C. We know that this phenomenon exists in every medical school.
still need more reliable data to know how serious it is.
64. According to the author, it is important to prevent cheating in medical schools because_____.
A. the medical profession is based on trust.
e is zero tolerance of cheating in medicine
medical profession depends on the government.
D. cheating exists extensively in medical schools.
64. Which of the following statements will the author probably agree with?
A. Medical schools should make a less competitive environment for students.
B. Outstanding people should create a set of moral standards to be followed.
C. Medical students should be positive in creating and preserving moral behavior
D. We should focus on the cause-and-effect of the cheating in exams in medical schools.
66. Which of the following can be implied from the passage?
A. It makes little sense to talk about medical school student cheating in exams.
B. Medical schools haven't been doing well to help students develop morally.
C. Cheating in exams is tolerable outride of medical school circle.
D. Elimination of exams helps cultivate healthier characters of medical school students.
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. If you associate with distinguished people, you are likely to find yourself with better opportunities.
lenge-yourself to expand your business knowledge through interactions with people at regular time.
C. In addition, the chances, if any, arc low that you can find a satisfactory job in an economic situation like this.
D. Once you have a couple of targets, think about why and what interests you.
E. Tliat is to say, the people you keep company with determine your character development.
F. Job searching under pressure often results in nervous interviewing and decision-making from relatively few options.
The worse time to look for a job is when you feel desperate and must have a new one immediately. 67 If you are not in need of an immediate career change, here arc ways you can improve your long-term career prospects today;
Identify at least two different roles. You do not have to be qualified for these positions today,nor do they have to exist in your company. However, these roles should be related to your current skill set. They are career options that look interesting. 68 Pay close attention to what appeals to you, and write it down. This will give insight into your motivations and targets.
Subscribe to a career specific magazine. Knowledge is power in the workplace. All businesses must stay relevant to their customers in order to win the competitions and increase revenue (收益) ing about industry trends, advancements and success stories keeps you in touch with market conditions. This information allows you to see which companies and professionals are leading the pack. You can follow their examples in your own workplace. 69
Do exceptional work. In any role, there is a way to perform at your best. Look for ways to deliver a top performance. Show up early, be flexible to new assignments, have a positive attitude, cooperate with other departments, pay attention to the little details.
Be professionally curious. Talk to people about their careers. Learn more about how success is measured in other roles, departments and companies. Ask people their thoughts on different industries. 70 People hire people. You never know what connections may be relevant when you start your next job search, so develop a habit of making good connections no matter where you go. Take the time to learn about others, and be helpful when you can.
As in all things in life, getting in front of a different task early is always less stressful than reacting to a career surprise. Changing jobs is to be expected. No matter how secure you feel today, the time will come when either you or your employer decide it is time to change.
IV. Summary Writing
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main points of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
There are various means consumers can do if they find that an item they bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to the manufacturer's claims. A simple and common method used by many consumer is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the "higher up" his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer's favor, assuming he or she has a just claim.
Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.
Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in question. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example, "The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear" is better than "This stereo does not work". The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the manufacturer. If so, the consumer should do this,
stating the complaint as politely and firmly as possible. If a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go to a step further. She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumer's rights.
