(A)
The
courses of the Essex English Language Program
valuable though they were, did not pose
a
challenge to me. However, during the two weeks
there, I still failed on one simple but subtle
question, “What else?’’
This question was
raised by Alex, a teacher from the University of
Essex. And I was the
ignorant student who
blankly stared at the textbook like my Japanese
classmate. In front of
me was a picture of the
first Ford Model T assembly line. You must have
seen similar old pictures,
___25___workers are
proudly fixing the bolts and checking car lever.
A minute before, Alex asked, to the
picture, what are the differences between the
factories today and back then?
Dead
silence. I pretended to ponder over the question,
but actually I got _26_ in my head.
How
__27____there be anything else different? Isn't
the assembly line an idea so brilliant that it
has been passed down without any major
changes? It was the Japanese student next to
me__28____ broke the silence:
ht. There
were no protections. What else?
Of course!
There were no protective devices. How could I have
overlooked that? I, for the first
time,
started to doubt my intellect while___30___
(struggle)with the second
Shiho, who sat on my
left, already had an idea:
was a kid standing
right in front of the camera. What else? Tom found
out that there were no
women. What else? Now
it was Tomomi's turn to point out that the workers
seemed to live
a___31___ (good) life than now,
judging from their clothes. I sat there
totally___32____ (beat).
There answers were
right under my eyes, but I could even spend
another day staring at the picture
without
noticing them.
The “What else?”question was
never about importance. It was about the souls
alive behind the
cold facts

A
huge fire has engulfed a 63-storey hotel in
central Dubai ahead of a New Year’s Eve
firework display. ___33_____ the blaze at the
Address hotel, the display at the nearby Burj
Khalifa, the tallest building in the world,
started as planned at midnight.
Officials say
the fire ___34_____ largely under control and 16
people suffered mostly minor
injures. It is
unclear ___35_____ caused the blaze, which broke
out as large crowds had gathered
to ring in
the New Year. People were asked to leave the area
around the Address Downtown Hotel,
which was
evacuated.
As I watched the flames engulf the
massive building, I knew right away it was the
Address

Hotel
in Dubai’s downtown district that overlooks Burj
Khalifa. I also knew that it was fully
booked
five years in advance. There were also thousands
of people in the streets below and in the
adjacent buildings, all waiting to view the
highly anticipated New Year’s Eve fireworks
display,
___36_____ them my youngest sister.
After checking on my sister, I hastily decided to
head out to
downtown Dubai in the hope of
seeing the scene on the ground for myself.
As
I approached downtown, I realized that the
normally brightly illuminated Burj Khalifa was
only half-lit and I could barely see the
imposing structure amid the black smoke from the
Address
Hotel. I did not expect to spend the
next four hours right outside the downtown area,
in one of the
worst traffic jams I have ever
encountered. ___37_____ the clock struck midnight,
I resigned
myself to ringing in the New Year
among thousands of strangers, all gazing out of
our cars
towards Burj Khalifa’s spectacular
fireworks display, alongside a burning hotel.
It started on the 20th floor, officials said,
and had not spread inside the building, they
claimed.
14 people were believed to ___38_____
minor injuries, one moderate injuries and there
was one
Irish singer Anita Williams, who
___39_____ at the hotel when the fire began, told
the BBC
that people left in a

A family is not a
compromise, or a second best, it is a magical
identity that makes us more
together than we
can ever be apart. So please – do not break this
family apart. In human relations
it’s almost
never a good thing to turn away from each other,
to put up walls, or to __41___ new
lines on
the map. Why would we take one Great Britain and
turn it into __42___ smaller nations?
What is
that an answer to?
How will that help the
ambitious young people who want to make their mark
on the world or
the pensioner who just wants
security or the family relying on jobs make in the
UK? Let no-one
fool you that ‘Yes’ is a
__43___ vision. It’s about dividing people; it’s
closing doors; it’s about
making foreigners of
our friends and family. This isn’t an optimistic
vision. The optimistic vision
is of our family
of nations staying together there for each other
in the hard times coming through
to better
times.
We’ve just __44____a great recession
together. We’re now moving forward together. The
road
has been long but it is finally leading
upwards and that’s why I ask you to vote No to
walking
away. Vote No and you are voting for a
bigger and broader and better future for Scotland
and you
are investing in the future for your
children and grandchildren. So this is our message
to the
people of Scotland.
We want you to
stay. Head and heart and soul, we want you to
stay. Please don’t mix up the
temporary and
the permanent. Please don’t think: I’m __45____
with politics right now, so I’ll
walk out the
door and never come back.
If you don’t like me
– I won’t be here forever. If you don’t like this
Government – it won’t last
第 2 页 共 10 页
forever. But if
you leave the UK – that will be forever.
Yes,
the different parts of the UK don’t always see ,
we need change – and we
will deliver it. But
to get that change, to get a brighter future, we
don’t need to__46____ our
country apart.
In two days, this long campaign will be at an
end. And as you stand in the __47____ of the
polling booth, I hope you will ask yourself
this. Will my family and I truly be better off by
going it
alone? Will we really be more safe
and __48____? Do I really want to turn my back on
the rest of
Britain, and why is it that so
many people across the world are asking: why would
Scotland want
to do that? Why? And if you
don’t know the answer to these questions – then
please vote No.
At the end of the day, all the
arguments of this campaign can be ___49___ to a
single fact. We
are better together. So as you
reach your final decision, please don’t let anyone
tell you that you
can’t be a proud Scot and a
proud Brit. Don’t lose faith in what this country
is – and what we can
be. Don’t forget what a
great United Kingdom you are part of. Don’t turn
your backs on what is
the best family of
nations in the world and the best hope for your
family in this world. So
please, from all of
us: Vote to __50____ together. Vote to stay. Vote
to save our United Kingdom.

marked A, B,
C and D. Fill in each blank with
the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Shoppers on Black Friday, the traditional
start of the holiday shopping season in America
are
notoriously(臭名昭著的)__51__. Some even start
queuing outside stores before dawn to be the
first to lay their hands on heavily discounted
goods. Despite the madness at many stores, __52__,
the global economic recession appears to have
accelerated the pace at which shoppers are _53_
bricks and mortar(灰浆) in favor of online
retailers---e-retailers,
E-commerce holds
particular __54__ in poor times as it enables
people to compare prices
across retailers
quickly and easily. Buyers can sometimes avoid
local sales taxes online, and
shipping is
often free. No wonder, then，that online shopping
continues to grow even as the offline
sort
__55__.
The __56__ in spending to the Internet

they must __58___ the extra expense of running
stores.

growth of e-retailing is for _59_ retailers to
redouble their
own efforts online. The
online arms of big retailers are performing well,

The concept of “multi-channel”
shopping，where people can purchase the same items
from
the same retailer in several different
ways online, is gaining popularity, and retailers
are trying to
__61 users of one channel
to try another.
Retailers are also trying to
make online shopping seem __62__ and exciting to
act against the
low economy．One common tactic
is to set up “pop—up” stores，which appear for a
short time
before disappearing again，to
develop a sense of novelty and __63__.
Stores
are also trying to attract customer by offering
services that are not _64_ online. Best

Section B (24)
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)
Poet William Stafford once said that
we are defined more by the detours(绕行路)in life
that
by the narrow road toward goals. I like
this image. But I as quite by accident that I
discovered the
deep meaning of his words.
For years we made the long drive from our home
in Seattle to my parents’ home in Boise in
nine hours. We traveled the way most people do
the fastest, shortest easiest road, especially
when I
was alone with four noisy, restless
kids who hates confinement(限制)and have strong
opinions
about everything.
Road trips felt
risky, so I would drive fast, stopping only when I
had to. We would stick to the
freeways and
arrive tired.
But then Banner, our lamb was
born. He was rejected by his mama days before our
planned
trip to Boise. I had two choices:
leave Banner with my husband, or take him with me.
My husband
made the decision for me.
That
is how I found myself on the road with four kids,
a baby lamb and nothing but my
everlasting
optimism to see me through. We took the country
roads out of necessity. We had to
stop every
hour, let Banner shke out his legs and feed him.
The kids chased him and one another.
They’d
get back in the car breathless and energized,
smelling fresh from the cold air.
We explored
side roads, catching grasshoppers in waist-high
grass. Even if we simply looked
out of the car
windows at baby pigs following their mother, or
fish leaping out of the water, it was
better
than the best ride down the freeway. Here was
life. And new horizons(见识).
We eventually
arrived at my parents ‘doorstep astonishingly
fresh and full of stories
I grew brave with
the trip back home and creative with my
disciplining technique. On an
empty section of
road, everyone started quarreling. I stopped the
car, ordered all kids out and told
第 4 页 共 10 页
them to meet me
up ahead. I parked my car half a mile away and
read my book in sweet silence.
Some road trips
are by necessity fast and straight. But that trip
with Banner opened our eyes
to a world
available to anyone adventurous enough to wander
around and made me realize that a
detour may
uncover the best part of a journey----and the best
part of yourself.
66. Why did the author use
to take freeways to her parents ‘home?
A. It
was less time
B. It would be faster and safer
C. Her kids would feel less confined
D.
She felt better with other drivers nearby
67.
What does the author discover from the trip
according to Paragraph 6?
A. Freeways are
where beauty hides.
B. Getting close to nature
adds to the joy of life
C. Enjoying the beauty
of nature benefits one’s health
D. One should
follow side roads to watch wild animals
68.
What could be the best title for the passage?
A. Charm of the Detour
B. The Road to
Bravery
C. Creativity out of Necessity
D.
Road trip and Country Life

Detailed Guidance on Analytical Features
The definition of an analytical feature
Hard
news is the kind of fast-paced news that usually
appears in newspapers, magazines and
some
other mediums. Because each story in only relevant
for a short time, writing must be concise
and
without excessive detail..Like a hard news story,
an analytical feature also appears in
newspapers; magazines or on the Web. However,
an analytical feature covers a topic in some
depth. It examines important issues or events
in details, and provides more interpretation and
background information for readers than hard
news. Writing an analytical feature means looking
for patterns, motives and outcomes that
explain the event issue or problem.
An
analytical feature should be based on an
investigation of documents in the public
domain-archives, libraries, scholarship, or
local offices-and an interview with people with
knowledge related to the topic.
Step-by-
step guide to feature writing
1. Select a
topic
2. Make a list of preliminary questions
to establish what needs to be known about the
topic. Ffere
are some of the basic questions
that a feature addresses.
●What is the
problem?
●What institutions and
people are involved?
●What is the
standpoint?
●What causes the problem?
●What are the possible consequences?
3. List
your sources--people: institutions, documents,
books, articles that are likely to provide
information and answers to your questions.
4. Refine your questions decide what you are
going to look for in the written documents and
what
第 5 页 共 10 页
you are
going to ask your potential sources.
5.
Arrange your appointments, interviews or are,
archival searches in a logical order, following
the
plan for your basic questions.
6.
Conduct interviews Ly what information you are
trying to get from each source.
7. Write and
outline that sets up the structure of the feature.
8. Go back to your notes, organize
information, compare and contrast data, analyze
material,
identify missing information,
expand the list of sources, and conduct new
interviews.
9. Write the feature
Analytical feature structure
THE INTRO:
The most important function of the introduction is
to make the readers want to read
on.
THE
BODY OF THE FEATURE: The content of the feature
will vary depending on the subject
matter,
style of publication, supposed interests of the
readers and intentions of the journals. The
following points are what you should include
in the body of your feature.
●Facts—include
the mat appropriate points throughout the text
rather than in chunks,
●Quotes-can bring
writing to life, inject authority and powerful
expression into the piece.
Think carefully
which bits of your research to quote and which
bits to translate into your own
words, as the simple facts of a story do not
normally need to be told through direct quotes.
●Description—Let the readers see what you are
seeing, show rather than tell.
Analysis-can be provided by experts who have
conducted relevant research, but it may also
be provided by ordinary people with direct
knowledge and involvement. Your own analysis of
the topic should be based on extensive
research and supported by ENDING: Aim to
provide a rounded ending of the text either in
the form of a summary, a quote or a return to the
scene of the introduction.
69. The
guidance on analytical features is most probably
taken from _ ?
A. a book on news
writing B. a movie script

(C)
Most of us know to stay low to the floor if
we're caught in a fire, or head to the basement if
a
tornado's coming, or board up the windows in
a hurricane. But, because relatively few of us
live
along fault lines, the massive earthquake
that hit Haiti this month was a reminder that
we're far
less versed on what to do when the
ground below us convulses. If we're in a house or
building, for
example, our first impulse might
be to run outside — but, counterintuitive as it
might sound,
experts warn against that since
people are too often killed by falling or fallen
debris as they try to
escape.
Given how
many us travel in quake-prone regions today —
including, tragically, the four
students and
two professors from Lynn University in Florida who
perished in the Haiti quake —
even folks who
don't reside in California should know how to
survive a temblor. But there are two
different, and at times competing, schools of
thought on the matter — both of which are
considered valid but perhaps not always in the
same situations.
The most conventional and
widely accepted by the disaster-response
community, is the
cover and hold on
table
to avoid falling objects. The second, newer method
is known as
recommends lying down in a fetal
position not under but next to furniture; as roofs
and walls
collapse atop those sofas and desks,
buffer spaces are created that protect people from
being
crushed.
Over the past decade, a
consensus has been building that
appropriate
method for developed countries like the U.S.,
where improved construction has
greatly
reduced the likelihood of structures imploding.
The triangle of life is thought to be more
pertinent in developing nations like Haiti,
where shoddy building codes make finding a

Earthquake Research &
Information at the
University of Memphis in Tennessee.
drop-and-
cover may be the best way to go, but a lot of
emergency responders might say
triangle-of-
life because they're the ones who see the
fatalities in buildings that do collapse.
73.
By saying
us__________?
A. make mistakes
when facing emergencies
B. can deal with
emergencies in a proper way
C. are seldom
bothered by massive earthquakes
D. hardly know
what to do in an earthquake
74. What do most
people take as “counter-instinctive” when there is
an earthquake?
A. That people run outside
impulsively.
B. That experts warn against
running outside,
C. That experts warn again
trying to escape.
D. That people are often
killed by falling objects.
75. What did the
four students and two professors from Lynn
University in Florida go to Haiti for?
A. To
study earthquakes.
B. To help rescue work.
C. To be on personal trip.

D. To be on

76. The new method differs from
the conventional method in that former believes
that__________________.
A. people don't
need to take over
B. people don't need
heavy furniture
C. furniture collapses when
roofs and walls fall
D. furniture can uphold
the fallen roofs and walls
77. As for which
method to choose in an earthquake, Gary Patterson
suggests basing the choice on.
A. your
whereabouts
B. the intensity of the earthquake
C. the
D. the “triangle of life approach”
Section C (8)
Directions: Read
the passage carefully. Then answer the questions
or complete the statements in
the fewest
possible words.
In this era, we're raised to
try new things and enjoy life's endless seems as
if the
more complex and concentrated our
intellectual efforts are, the further and richer
our life would
be.
This striving for
fullness and variety: however, has always prompted
a counter-desire toward
simplicity. As
American writer Henry David Thoreau put it:
the universe will be simpler. [Loneliness]
will not be [loneliness]; poverty will not be
poverty, nor
weakness, weakness.’’
Today, the most popular simplicity movement is to
tidy up one's living areas. Cleaning out the
closets and wardrobes has become a habit for
many. It is a search for calmness, a blow against
stress, and a longing for a beauty that is
found by getting rid of what is not beautiful.
The second big tendency in today's
simplicity movement involves mental purity.
Many of us are on a wireless hamster-wheel.
Something special like a dinner party or a museum
visit is spoiled when your mind is on your
screen or in five places at once. So, there's a
mass
movement to regain control of your own
attention, to set priorities about what you will
think about,
and to see fewer things but to
see them more deeply.
There's clearly some
process of discovery in leading a simpler life.
You first choose your
identity by adding
things to your life, but later, you update your
identity by throwing away what
you think is no
longer useful, true and beautiful. One simplicity
expert advised people to take all
the book off
their shelves and throw them on the floor. Only
put back the books that you truly
value.
That's an exercise in realizing your favorite
tastes and beliefs, in identifying things that
matter
most in your life. People who do this
may instinctively be seeking higher forms of
simplicity:
being faultless with words,
cautious but strong with their commitments,
disciplined about their
time and selective
their friendships.
In a world of rich
materialism and abundant opportunities, many
people are clearly learning
who they are by
choosing what they can do without.
