(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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 51. A. dismissed B. employed C. promoted D. demanded 52. A. drop in B. keep up C. take on D. stand out 53. A. salaries B. players C. careers D. games 54. A. enhanced B. shifted C. continued D. limited 55. A. safety B. communication C. relationship D. crime 56. A. impossible B. important C. reliable D. convenient 57. A. last B. top C. remaining D. usual 58. A. typical B. special C. dramatic D. appropriate 59. A. Instead B. Besides C. Nevertheless D. Meanwhile 60. A. steadily B. slightly C. differently D. rapidly 61. A. health B. security C. life D. development 62. A. fail B. pretend C. continue D. plan 63. A. ideal B. independent C. interesting D. unusual 64. A. restriction B. promotion C. excitement D. stress 65. A. patients B. rewards C. hospitals D. pleasures Section B Directions: Read the following 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. 70. According to the passage, the so-called “digital divide” here mainly refers to it that _______. A. people in poor countries do not know how to use computers B. the rich countries have more money than the poor countries C. there is not Internet system in poor countries D. as a result of economic factor, poor nations cannot share information technology with rich nations equally 71. According to Kofi Annan, we can know ________. A. without question information technology can provide a chance for the development of the world B. all the business leaders will look for projects in developing countries C. all the people in rich countries have mastered Internet skills D. poor countries can have magic power on the Internet 72. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. The World Summit on the Information Society will be good news for developing countries. B. All the people with enough money can enjoy the Internet. C. Perhaps there is a long way to go for the development of poor nations. D. The company Cisco has done a good job teaching Internet technology skills to people around the world . 73. Which of the following can be the proper title for the passage? A. The poor Becomes Poor, the Rich Richer B. Digital Divide in Developing Nations C. Meeting on Internet Technology D. Internet Technology in Developing Countries (C) Thanks to smartphones, telling your partner “I love you” has never been easier. And, according to some new research, it’s probably making your relationship stronger, too. There’s no denying technology’s impact on modern relationships, just as there’s no denying technology’s impact on modern, well, everything. Websites and apps such as Match.com, OkCupid and Tinder have changed the way Americans meet and date. A 2013 study from the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that more than one-third of all U.S. marriages now begin through online dating, which has grown into a $2 billion-a-year industry, according to IBISWorld. And, of course, they’ve changed how we communicate. Facebook, Twitter, iMessage, WhatsApp, Snapchat and Instagram have replaced the Phone. For tech-savvy couples, the communication possibilities today are seemingly endless. Texting apps allow partners to communicate throughout the day regardless of where they are. And while there are some dangers that accompany regular texting with your partner, couples that exchange affectionate texts can actually enhance their relationships. A new report from the Pew Research Centre shows that 21 percent of people in committed relationships say they felt closer to their spouse or partner because of exchanges they had either online or via text message. “People will text no matter what—it’s too convenient,” says Lori Schade, Ph.D., a licensed marriage and family therapist in Salk Lake City, Utah. “But if they use text messages purposefully to put money in the relationship bank, so to speak, by being positive, they might be developing resilience (韧性) to weather future storms.” Meanwhile, several apps that are built specially for couples have begun appearing in app stores everywhere. Couple, an app that allows couples to communicate in their own, private channel, has been downloaded nearly 2.5 million times. The app lets you and your partner share messages and videos, build a private shared timeline recording your relationship, share to-do lists and even send “ThumbKisses” to one another. Some dating sites are figuring out ways to stay involved in couples’ lives beyond the meeting period. HowAboutWe, which likes to call itself “The Online Dating Sites”, has a separate service for couples that offers pre-planned dates ranging from tickets to a Broadway show, to custom peanut butter sandwiches, to a robot-building workshop. The company launched a new couples app called “You & Me”, which allows partners to cooperate on playlists, share photos and exchange private messages. So while there’s no substitution for actual face time in relationship, FaceTime is looking more and more like a good alternative to fill in the gaps. 74. “Tech-savvy couples” in Paragraph 3 may refer to couples who _____. A. can save technology B. have a good command of technology C. communicate endlessly D. work in the field of information technology 75. In Lori Schade’s opinion, texting can _____. A. enable people to put money in the bank B. prevent partners being caught in storms C. help people enhance their relationships D. expose people to more dangers 76. It can be inferred from the passage that _____. A. actual face time is more important than online face time B. actual face time will eventually give way to online face time C. online face time makes relationships stronger than actual face time D. online face time can make up for the disadvantages of actual face time 77. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage? A. Modern technology: Bringing people closer B. Modern technology: Recording relationships C. Modern technology: Changing everyday life D. Modern technology: Making communication easier Section C Directions: Read the 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. 第II卷 (共47分) I.
