Part III Reading
Comprehension (40 minutes)
Section A
Directions: In this section, there is a
passage with ten blanks. You are
required to
select one word for each blank from a list of
choices given in a word
bank following the
passage. Read the passage through carefully before
making
your choices. Each choice in the bank
is identified by a letter. Please mark the
corresponding letter for each item on Answer
Sheet 2 with a single line through
the centre.
You may not use any of the words in the bank more
than once.
Let’s all stop judging people who
talk to themselves. New research says that
those who can’t seem to keep their inner
monologues(独白) in are actually more
likely to
stay on task, remain __26__ better and show
improved perception
capabilities. Not bad,
really, for some extra muttering.
According to
a series of experiments published in the Quarterly
Journal of
Experimental Psychology by
professors Gary Lupyan and Daniel Swignley, the
act of
using verbal clues to __27__ mental
pictures helps people function quicker.
In one
experiment, they showed pictures of various
objects to twenty __28__ and
asked them to
find just one of those, a banana. Half were __29__
to repeat out loud
欢迎下载3
-
what
they were looking for and the other half kept
their lips __30__. Those who
talked to
themselves found the banana slightly faster than
those who didn,the ’t
researchers say. In other
experiments, Lupyan and Swignley found that __31__
the
name of a common product when on the hunt
for it helped quicken someone’s pace,
but
talking about uncommon items showed no advantage
and slowed you down.
Common research has long
held that talking themselves through a task helps
children learn, although doing so when you’ve
__32__ matured is not a great sign of
__33__.
The two professors hope to refute that idea,
__34__ that just as when kids
walk themselves
through a process, adults can benefit from using
language not just to
communicate, but also to
help “augment thinking”.
Of course, you are
still encouraged to keep the talking at library
tones and,
whatever you do, keep the
information you share simple, like a grocery list.
At any
__35__, there’s still such a thing as
too much information.
Section B
Directions: In this section, you are going to
read a passage with ten
statements attached to
it. Each statement contains information given in
one of
the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph
from which the information is derived.
You may
choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph
is marked with a
letter. Answer the questions
by marking the corresponding letter on Answer
Sheet 2.
Rich Children and Poor Ones Are
Raised Very Differently
[A] The lives of
children from rich and poor American families look
more
different than ever before.
[B] Well-
off families are ruled by calendars, with children
enrolled in ballet,
soccer and after-school
programs, according to a new Pew Research Center
survey.
There are usually two parents, who
spend a lot of time reading to children and
worrying about their anxiety levels and hectic
schedules.
[C] In poor families, meanwhile,
children tend to spend their time at home or
with extended family. They are more likely to
grow up in neighborhoods that their
parents
say aren’t great for raising children, and their
parents worry about them
getting shot, beaten
up or in trouble with the law.
[D] The class
differences in child rearing are growing — a
symptom of widening
inequality with far-
reaching consequences. Different upbringings set
children on
different paths and can deepen
socioeconomic divisions, especially because
education
is strongly linked to earnings.
Children grow up learning the skills to succeed in
their
socioeconomic stratum (阶层), but not
necessarily others.
[E] “Early childhood
experiences can be very consequential for
children
long-term social, emotional and
cognitive development,” said Sean Reardon,
professor of poverty and inequality in
education at Stanford University.
欢迎下载4
’s
“And be
-
those influence
educational success and later earnings, early
childhood experiences
cast a lifelong shadow.”
The cycle continues: Poorer parents have less time
and fewer
resources to invest in their
children, which can leave children less prepared
for school
and work, which leads to lower
earnings.
[F] American parents want similar
things for their children, the Pew report and
past research have found: for them to be
healthy and happy, honest and ethical, caring
and compassionate. There is no best parenting
style or philosophy, researchers say,
and
across income groups, 92% of parents say they are
doing a good job at raising
their children.
Yet they are doing it quite differently. Middle-
class and higher- income
parents see their
children as projects in need of careful
cultivation, says Annette
Lareau, whose
groundbreaking research on the topic was published
in her book
Unequal Childhoods: Class, Race
and Family Life. They try to develop their skills
through close supervision and organized
activities, and teach children to question
authority figures and navigate elite
institutions.
[G] Working-class parents,
meanwhile, believe their children will naturally
thrive, and give them far greater independence
and time for free play. They are taught
to be
compliant and respectful to adults. There are
benefits to both approaches.
Working-class
children are happier, more independent, complain
less and are closer
with family members, Ms.
Lareau found. Higher-income children are more
likely to
declare boredom and expect their
parents to solve their problems. Yet later on, the
more affluent children end up in college and
on the way to the middle class, while
working-
class children tend to struggle. Children from
higher-income families are
likely to have the
skills to navigate bureaucracies and succeed in
schools and
workplaces, Ms. Lareau said.
[H] “Do allparents want the most success for
their children? Absolutely,
said. “Do some
strategies give children more advantages than
others in institutions?
Probably they do. Will
parents be damaging children if they have one
fewer organized
activity? No, I really doubt
it.”
[I] Social scientists say the differences
arise in part because low-income parents
have
less money to spend on music class or preschool,
and less flexible schedules to
take children
to museums or attend school events.
Extracurricular activities reflect the
differences in child rearing in the Pew
survey, which was of a nationally
representative sample of 1,807 parents. Of
families earning more than $$75,000 a year,
84%
say their children have participated in organized
sports over the past year, 64%
have done
volunteer work and 62% have taken lessons in
music, dance or art. Of
families earning less
than $$30,000, 59% of children have done sports,
37% have
volunteered and 41% have taken arts
classes.
[J] Especially in affluent families,
children start young. Nearly half of
high-
earning, college-graduate parents enrolled their
children in arts classes before
they were 5,
compared with one-fifth of low-income, less-
educated parents.
Nonetheless, 20% of well-off
parents say their childrenes are too hectic, ’s
schedul
compared with 8% of poorer parents.
[K] Another example is reading aloud, which
studies have shown gives children
bigger
vocabularies and better reading comprehension in
school. 71% of parents with

she
”
-
a college degree say they do it
every day, compared with 33% of those with a high
school diploma or less. White parents are more
likely than others to read to their
children
daily, as are married parents. Most affluent
parents enroll their children in
preschool or
day care, while low-income parents are more likely
to depend on family
members. Discipline
techniques vary by education level: 8% of those
with a
postgraduate degree say they often beat
their children, compared with 22% of those
with a high school degree or less.
[L] The
survey also probed attitudes and anxieties.
Interestingly, parents’
attitudes toward
education do not seem to reflect their own
educational background as
much as a belief in
the importance of education for upward mobility.
Most American
parents say they are not
concerned about their children’s grades as long as
they work
hard. But 50% of poor parents say it
is extremely important to them that their children
earn a college degree, compared with 39% of
wealthier parents.
[M] Less-educated parents,
and poorer and black and Latino parents are more
likely to believe that there is no such thing
as too much involvement in a child
education.
Parents who are white, wealthy or college-
educated say too much
involvement can be bad.
Parental anxieties reflect their circumstances.
High- earning
parents are much more likely to
say they live in a good neighborhood for raising
children. While bullying is parents’ greatest
concern over all, nearly half of
low-income
parents worry their child will get shot, compared
with one-fifth of
high-income parents. They
are more worried about their children being
depressed or
anxious.
[N] In the Pew
survey, middle-class families earning between
$$30,000 and
$$75,000 a year fell right between
working-class and high-earning parents on issues
like the quality of their neighborhood for
raising children, participation in
extracurricular activities and involvement in
their children’ s education.
[O] Children were
not always raised so differently. The achievement
gap
between children from high- and low-income
families is 30-40% larger among
children born
in 2001 than those born 25 years earlier,
according to Mr. Reardon
research. People used
to live near people of different income levels;
neighborhoods
are now more segregated by
income. More than a quarter of children live in
single-parent households — a historic high,
according to Pew 一and these children
are three
times as likely to live in poverty as those who
live with married parents.
Meanwhile, growing
income inequality has coincided with the
increasing importance
of a college degree for
earning a middle-class wage.
[P] Yet there are
recent signs that the gap could be starting to
shrink. In the past
decade, even as income
inequality has grown, some of the socioeconomic
differences
in parenting, like reading to
children and going to libraries, have narrowed.
[Q] Public policies aimed at young children
have helped, including public
preschool
programs and reading initiatives. Addressing
differences in the earliest
years, it seems,
could reduce inequality in the next generation.
36. Working-class parents teach their children
to be obedient and show respect to
adults.

37. American parents,
whether rich or poor, have similar expectations of
their
children despite different ways of
parenting.
38. While rich parents are more
concerned with their children’s psychological
well-being, poor parents are more worried
about their children’s safety.
39. The
increasing differences in child rearing between
rich and poor families
reflect growing social
inequality.
40. Parenting approaches of
working-class and affluent families both have
advantages.
41. Higher-income families and
working-class families now tend to live in
different neighborhoods.
42. Physical
punishment is used much less by well-educated
parents.
43. Ms. Lareau doesn’t believe
participating in fewer after-class activities will
negatively affect children’s development.
44. Wealthy parents are concerned about their
children’s mental health and busy
schedules.
45. Some socioeconomic differences in child
rearing have shrunk in the past ten
years.
Section C
Directions: There are 2 passages
in this section. Each passage is followed by
some questions or unfinished statements. For
each of them there are four choices
marked A),
B), C) and D). You should decide on the best
choice and mark the
corresponding letter on
Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the
centre.
Passage One
Questions 46 to 50 are
based on the following passage.
Tennessee’s
technical and community colleges will not
outsource(外包)
management of their facilities
to a private company, a decision one leader said
was
bolstered by an analysis of spending at
each campus.
In an email sent Monday to
college presidents in the Tennessee Board of
Regents
system, outgoing Chancellor John
Morgan said an internal analysis showed that each
campus’ spending on facilities management fell
well below the industry standards
identified
by the state. Morgan said those findings — which
included data from the
system’s 13 community
colleges, 27 technical colleges and six
universities were —
part of the decision not
to move forward with Governor Bill Haslam’s
proposal to
privatize management of state
buildings in an effort to save money.
“While
these numbers are still being validated by the
state, we feel any
adjustments they might
suggest will be immaterial,” Morgan wrote to the
presidents.
“System institutions are operating
very efficiently based on this analysis, raising
the
question of the value of pursuing a broad
scale outsourcing initiative.”
Worker’s
advocates have criticized Haslam’s plan, saying it
would mean some
campus workers would lose
their jobs or benefits. Haslam has said colleges
would be
free to opt in or out of the out
souring plan, which has not been finalized.
Morgan notified the Haslam administration of
his decision to opt out in a letter
sent last
week. That letter, which includes several concerns
Morgan has with the plan,
was originally
obtained by The Commercial Appeal in Memphis.

In an email statement
from the state’s Office of Customer Focused
Government,
which is examining the possibility
of outsourcing, spokeswoman Michelle R. Martin
said officials were still working to analyze
the data from the Board of Regents. Data
on
management expenses at the college system and in
other state departments will be
part of a
“business justification” the state will use as
officials deliberate the specifics
of an
outsourcing plan.
“The state’s facilities
management project team is still in the process of
developing its business justification and
expects to have that completed and available
to the public at the end of February,” Martin
said. “At this time there is nothing to
take
action on since the analysis has yet to be
completed.”
Morgan’s comments on outsourcing
mark the second time this month that he has
come out against one of Haslam’s plans for
higher education in Tennessee. Morgan
said
last week that he would retire at the end of
January because of the governor
proposal to
split off six universities of the Board of Regents
system and create
separate governing boards
for each of them. In his resignation letter,
Morgan called
the reorganization “unworkable”.
46. What do we learn about the decision of
technical and community
colleges in Tennessee?
A) It is backed by a campus spending analysis.
B)It has been flatly rejected by the governor.
C)It has neglected their faculty’s demands.
D)It will improve their financial situation.
47. What does the campus spending analysis
reveal?
A) Private companies play a big role
in campus management.
B)Facilities management
by colleges is more cost-effective.
C)Facilities management has greatly improved
in recent years.
D)Colleges exercise foil
control over their own financial affairs.
48.
Workers’ supporters argue that Bill Haslam’s
proposal would
_________.
A) deprive
colleges of the right to manage their facilities
B)make workers less motivated in performing
duties
C)render a number of campus workers
jobless
D)lead to the privatization of campus
facilities
49. What do we learn from the state
spokeswoman’s response to John
Morgan’s
decision?
A) The outsourcing plan is not yet
finalized.
B)The outsourcing plan will be
implemented.
C)The state officials are
confident about the outsourcing plan.
D)The
college spending analysis justifies the
outsourcing plan.
50. Why did John Morgan
decide to resign?
A) He had lost confidence in
the Tennessee state government.
B)He disagreed
with the governor on higher education policies.
C)He thought the state’s outsourcing proposal
was simply unworkable.
D)He opposed the
governor’s plan to reconstruct the college board
system.

Passage Two
Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following
passage.
Beginning in the late sixteenth
century, it became fashionable for young
aristocrats to visit Paris, Venice, Florence,
and above all, Rome, as the culmination(终
极) of
their classical education. Thus was born the idea
of the Grand Tour, a practice
which introduced
Englishmen, Germans, Scandinavians, and also
Americans to the art
and culture of France and
Italy for the next 300 years. Travel was arduous
and costly
throughout the period, possible
only for a privileged class—the same that produced
gentlemen scientists, authors, antique
experts, and patrons of the arts.
The Grand
Tourist was typically a young man with a thorough
grounding in
Greek and Latin literature as
well as some leisure time, some means, and some
interest in art. The German traveler Johann
Winckelmann pioneered the field of art
history
with his comprehensive study of Greek and Roman
sculpture; he was
portrayed by his friend
Anton Raphael Mengs at the beginning of his long
residence
in Rome. Most Grand Tourists,
however, stayed for briefer periods and set out
with
less scholarly intentions, accompanied by
a teacher or guardian, and expected to
return
home with souvenirs of their travels as well as an
understanding of art and
architecture formed
by exposure to great masterpieces.
London was
a frequent starting point for Grand Tourists, and
Paris a compulsory
destination; many traveled
to the Netherlands, some to Switzerland and
Germany, and
a very few adventurers to Spain,
Greece, or Turkey. The essential place to visit,
however, was Italy. The British traveler
Charles Thompson spoke for many Grand
Tourists
when in 1744 he described himself as “being
impatiently desirous of viewing
a country so
famous in history, a country which once gave laws
to the world, and
which is at present the
greatest school of music and painting, contains
the noblest
productions of sculpture and
architecture, and is filled with cabinets of
rarities, and
collections of all kinds of
historical relics”. Within Italy, the great focus
was Rome,
whose ancient ruins and more recent
achievements were shown to every Grand
Tourist. Panini’s Ancient Rome and Modem Rome
represent the sights most prized,
including
celebrated Greco-Roman statues and views of famous
ruins, fountains, and
churches. Since there
were few museums anywhere in Europe before the
close of the
eighteenth century, Grand
Tourists often saw paintings and sculptures by
gaining
admission to private collections, and
many were eager to acquire examples of
Greco-
Roman and Italian art for their own collections.
In England, where architecture
was
increasingly seen as an aristocratic pursuit,
noblemen often applied what they
learned from
the villas of Palladio in the Veneto and the
evocative (唤起回忆的)
ruins of Rome to their own
country houses and gardens.
51. What is said
about the Grand Tour?
A) It was fashionable
among young people of the time.
B)It was
unaffordable for ordinary people.
C)It
produced some famous European artists.
D)It
made a compulsory part of college education.
52. What did Grand Tourists have in common?
A) They had much geographic knowledge.

B)They were courageous
and venturesome.
C)They were versed in
literature and interested in art.
D)They had

How did Grand Tourists benefit from their travel?

masterpieces. ’s greates
B)They got a better
understanding of early human civilization.
C)They developed an interest in the origin of
modem art forms.
D)They gained some knowledge
of classical art and architecture.
54. Why did
many Grand Tourists visit the private collections?
A) They could buy unique souvenirs there to
take back home.
B)Europe hardly had any
museums before the 19th century.
C)They found
the antiques there more valuable.
D)Private
collections were of greater variety.
55. How
did the Grand Tour influence the architecture in
England?
A) There appeared more and more
Roman-style buildings.
B)Many aristocrats
began to move into Roman-style villas.
C)Aristocrats,country houses all had Roman-

D)Italian architects were hired

【参考范文】
Whether to Attend a Vocational
College or a University?
It’s an undisputable
truth that virtually all high school graduates
will encounter
the choices between a
vocational college and a university. And when it
comes to this
question, students’ ideas are
not cut from the same cloth. In point of which to
choose
and what to be taken into
consideration, my advices are as follow.
In
the first place, we should be conscious of the
fact that both of the two choices
have its own
superiorities. For instance, a vocational college
specializes in cultivating
human resources
with practical capabilities; while a university
serves as the cradle of
academic researchers
in different fields. Then it does follow that high
school
欢迎下载10
-
graduates
should have a clear picture of themselves. That is
to say, they should know
their merits and
demerits and their choices must give play to their
strengths whilst
circumvent weaknesses. In
addition, interest is the best teacher and it’s
also the
premise of learning on one’s own
initiative. Thus interest must be taken into
account
because it can not only decide how far
one can reach academically and professionally
but also how happy and fulfilled one will be.
In brief, all above just goes to show that
there really is no one-size-fits-all answer
for the question. The key lies in a clear
cognition, accurate self-positioning and the
interest of oneself. Only then can every one
find a right path that works best for us.

Part IV Translation (30 minutes)
【答案】The Tang Dynasty, which dated from 618 and
ended in 907, was the
most prosperous period
in Chinese history. After nearly three hundred
years of
development, it had become the most
flourishing power around the world, with its
capital Chang’ an as the largest metropolis in
the world. China during that period was
embodied in the booming economy, thriving
commerce, stable social order and even
the
open borders. As urbanization gained its momentum
and wealth accumulated, art
and literature
also flourished. Li Bai and Du Fu were poets
distinguished for their
concise and natural
writing style. Their poetry struck a chord with
scholars as well as
ordinary people. Even
today, many of their poems are still widely read
and recited by
children and adults.
