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)
One of my favorite
professors in college was a self-confessed liar.
I guess that statement needs a bit of
explanation.
The topic of Capital
Markets is exceptionally boring subject matter. Dr
K was
memorable because of something he
introduced at the beginning of his first class:
“Between today and the class right
before finals, I will work into each of my
lectures … one lie. Your job, as students ,
among other things , is to try and catch the
Lie if the Day.”
And then began
our 10-week course.
This was a
brilliant way to focus our attention –by asking
students to challenge
his statements. Early in
the quarter , the Lie if the Day was usually
obvious –
immediately causing raised hands to
challenge it.
As the quarter went
on , the Lie of the Day became more undetectable,
and many
ended up slipping past most students
unnoticed until a very alert person stopped the
lecture to flag it.
Every once in a
while , a lecture would end with nobody catching
the lie. On
those days, Dr K , looking quite
pleased with himself, would say :” Ah ha ! Each of
you has one falsehood in your lecture notes.
Discuss among yourselves what it might
be, and
I will tell you next Monday.”
Those
lectures forced us to work in study groups so we
could approach him with
our theories the
following week.
Brilliant… but what made
Dr K’s technique genius was, during the most
technically difficult lecture of the entire
quarter , there was no lie.
At the end of the
lecture in which no lie was found , he offered the
same challenge
to work through the notes. On
the following Monday , he heard our theories for
what
the falsehood might be for almost ten
minutes before he finally said:” Do you
remember the first lecture-how I said that
‘every lecture has a lie?’”
Exhausted from
having our best theories shot down, we nodded.
“ Well, THAT was a lie . My previous lecture
was completely on the level. But I
am glad
you reviewed your notes carefully this weekend.”
While my knowledge of the Economics of
Capital Markets has faded in time, the
lessons
have stayed with me :” Experts “ can be wrong and
say things that sound right,
so always
evaluate new information and cheek it against
things you already accept as
fact.
56
Which of the following statements is true?
A
Not all the lies were obvious
B There was
no lie in the first lecture
C Dr. K didn’t
admit that he was a liar
D There was a lie in
each of the lectures
57 The underlined phrase
“ on the level” is closet in meaning to _____?
A academically focused B honest and
correct
C confusing and demanding D
technically difficult
58 Which is not among
Dr. K’s purpose of asking students to catch the
lies in the
lecture.
A To focus their
attention in class
B To stimulate them to
go through notes
C To encourage them to
discuss in study groups
D To enable them to
distinguish truth from falsehood.
59
How does the writer benefit from Dr; K ‘s
lectures ?
A He still remembers the
knowledge of Economics of Capital Markets
B
He won’t accept anything blindly and dares to
challenge authorities
C He is quick at
accepting new information and learning techniques
D He develops a habit of checking
everything before evaluation

Teacher
burnout(倦怠)and student stress may be linked,
according to a University
of British Columbia
study. The study is the first of its kind to
examine the connection
between teacher burnout
and students’ cortisol level(可体松水平),which are a
biological indicator of stress.
Researcher collected saliva (唾液) samples from over
400 elementary school
children and tested
their cortisol levels. They found that in
classroom in which
teachers experienced more
bornout , or feelings of emotional exhaustion ,
students’
cortisol levels were elevated.
Higher cortisol levels in elementary school
children
have been linked to learning
difficulties as well as mental health problems.
“ This suggests that stress spreading might
be taking place in the classroom among
students and their teachers,” said Eva Oberle,
the study’s lead author. Indeed , the
relationship between student stress and
teacher burnout is a chicken and egg question.
It is unknown what came first –evaluated
cortisol or teacher burnout . We consider the
connection between student and teacher stress
a cyclical problem in the classroom.
Oberle
said a stressful classroom climate could be a
result of inadequate support
for teachers,
which may impact teachers’ ability to effectively
manage their students.
A poorly managed
classroom can contribute to students’ needs not
being met and
increasing stress. This could be
reflected in elevated cortisol levels in students.
Alternatively , stress could originate from
students, who may be more challenging
to teach
because of increases in anxiety , behavioural
problems, or special needs. In
this situation
, teachers could feel overwhelmed and report
higher levels of burnout.
“Our study is a
reminder of the systemic issues facing teachers
and educators as
classroom sizes increase and
supports for teachers are cue,” said Oberle.
“ It is clear from a number of recent research
studies that teaching is one of the
most
stressful professions , and that teachers need
adequate resources and support in
their jobs
in order to battle burnout and relieve stress in
the classroom,” said UBC
education professor
Kimberly Schonert-Reichl, the study ‘s co-author
and director of
HELP. “If we do not support
teachers, we risk the collateral damage(附带损害) of
students.”
63 Which is the best title for
the passage?
A How to Relieve Stress in the
class
B A Puzzling Question of Egg and
Chicken
C The Most Stressful Profession in
the world
D The Link Between Students Stress
and Teacher Burnout
64 Paragraph 4 and
paragraph 5 are intended to make it clear that
______.
A teacher burnout may be the
cause of the elevated cortisol levels in students
B the connection between students and teacher
stress is a cyclical problem
C students with
higher stress level are more likely to have
learning difficulties
D students’ behavioural
problems may result in teacher’s higher level of
burnout
65 According to the writer, many
British teachers face the problem that_______.
A teachers are not well trained to deal with
students’ problems
B teachers’ income
increases but teaching resources are cut
C
there’re more students in each class and less
support for teachers
D there is a widening
gap between students’ need and teachers’ ability
66 Which of the following statements is FALSE?
A The more burnout teachers experience, the
higher cortisol levels in students.
B Adequate
support may help teachers manage students more
effectively
C Students will benefit as a
result of reduced teacher burnout.
D High
cortisol level indicates high level of burnout.
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 that there are two more
sentences than you need.
A. Bambikes,
however, are not made entirely of bamboo.
B.
Bambike is a welcome option for people who wish to
travel without traffic
problems.
C. Though
it’s still a small venture, Bambike has reached a
degree of fame and
success.
D. It is
partnered with Gawad Kalinga, an organization
seeking to end poverty in the
Philippine.
E. The bamboo bikes come in different models,
all of which have passed
international
standards.
F. Creating jobs for Victoria’s
citizens isn’t the only way that this company
helps its
community.
What do you get
when you combine “the greenest building material”
with “the
most efficient machine ever
created”? Bryan McClelland says you end up with
his
company’s bamboo bicycle.
McClelland,
a Filipino-American, runs his company Bambike in
Victoria, a small
town about 83 kilometers
from Manila. ___67__ McClelland came up with the
idea
in 2007 when he was still a
volunteer for Gawad Kalinga, but it wasn’t until
2010 that
he officially started the business.
By employing locals, Bambike aids its community
and keeps people from moving to crowded urban
areas. Most employees craft the
bicycles while
a few also make “bambowties” with the extra bamboo
pieces.
Some might question the marriage of
bamboo and bicycles, but McCelland insists
it’s a nearly perfect union. Bamboo dampens
the vibration of the bike, so it takes a lot
of wear-and –tear off the rider’s joints when
riding through uneven streets. One
particular
kind of mature bamboo is as strong as steel, as
light as aluminum and as
sustainable as
anything. __68__ Abaca, a Filipino plant, and some
aircraft-quality
metals are also used. With
all of these materials, Bambikes stand up to tough
industry
standards alongside Giants and
Schwinns.
___69___ Ten percent of its profits
go back to the local community. Additionally,
in order to help promote education, Bambike
sponsors local teachers and has started
feeding programs for students. A bamboo
playground as well as school supplies and
scholarship programs are other benefits. The
company is also careful to plant more
bamboo
than it harvests to ensure that production and
progress continues. In the future,
improvements are also planned for Victoria’s
water and sanitation.
___70___ The bicycles
are shipped worldwide and have become known for
quality
and eco-friendly materials .Filipino
President Benigno Aquino III has even gifted
them to world leader, including Brack Obama.
TripAdvisor has also ranked
Bambike’s Manila
bike tour as one of the top activities to
experience in the city. A
bamboo revolution
has started in the Philippines, and it’s pedaling
at lightning speed.
IV. Summary Writing
(10%)
Directions : Read the following passage.
Summarize the main point(s) of the
passage in
no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far
as possible.
It is a common sight on campus or
in the streets : a young person rides by on an
electric scooter, traveling quickly and
proudly. But Beijing’s traffic authorities have
said that starting on Sept.5, people who are
caught riding electric scooters on public
roads or bicycle lanes will be fined 10 yuan.
They will also be given a warning not to
use
the vehicles on public roads again.
The
announcement was made after traffic police in
Shanghai started a campaign to
get electric
scooters off public roads, with police officers
stopping riders because the
scooters could
cause traffic problems.
The Beijing Consumer
Association said it had tested more than 20
electric scooters
of different brands recently
and found that most had substandard brakes. It
added that
16 of the tested scooters could go
faster than the maximum 20 km per hour set for
electric bikes. According to the traffic
police, people who ride electric scooters at
certain speeds can easily bump into the
vehicles in the vehicle lane and hurt people
who walk in the bicycle lanes.
But
seeing the benefits that electric scooters have
brought to young people,
experts are worried
that the ban may take effect slowly.
Electric scooters are a great answer to the “last
mile problem” of getting from a
public
transport station to one’s home. They’re light
enough to throw over your
shoulder. They’re
easy to ride just about anywhere and don’t need a
lot of physical
effort. The scooter can travel
25 km on one charge. It’s convenient and easy to
control.
The are also good for the
environment. Unlike cars and buses, electric
scooters
produce no carbon dioxide, need no
fuel and make almost no noise.
For many
young people, they use them to copy cool
celebrities they have seen in
videos.

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)
One of my favorite
professors in college was a self-confessed liar.
I guess that statement needs a bit of
explanation.
The topic of Capital
Markets is exceptionally boring subject matter. Dr
K was
memorable because of something he
introduced at the beginning of his first class:
“Between today and the class right
before finals, I will work into each of my
lectures … one lie. Your job, as students ,
among other things , is to try and catch the
Lie if the Day.”
And then began
our 10-week course.
This was a
brilliant way to focus our attention –by asking
students to challenge
his statements. Early in
the quarter , the Lie if the Day was usually
obvious –
immediately causing raised hands to
challenge it.
As the quarter went
on , the Lie of the Day became more undetectable,
and many
ended up slipping past most students
unnoticed until a very alert person stopped the
lecture to flag it.
Every once in a
while , a lecture would end with nobody catching
the lie. On
those days, Dr K , looking quite
pleased with himself, would say :” Ah ha ! Each of
you has one falsehood in your lecture notes.
Discuss among yourselves what it might
be, and
I will tell you next Monday.”
Those
lectures forced us to work in study groups so we
could approach him with
our theories the
following week.
Brilliant… but what made
Dr K’s technique genius was, during the most
technically difficult lecture of the entire
quarter , there was no lie.
At the end of the
lecture in which no lie was found , he offered the
same challenge
to work through the notes. On
the following Monday , he heard our theories for
what
the falsehood might be for almost ten
minutes before he finally said:” Do you
remember the first lecture-how I said that
‘every lecture has a lie?’”
Exhausted from
having our best theories shot down, we nodded.
“ Well, THAT was a lie . My previous lecture
was completely on the level. But I
am glad
you reviewed your notes carefully this weekend.”
While my knowledge of the Economics of
Capital Markets has faded in time, the
lessons
have stayed with me :” Experts “ can be wrong and
say things that sound right,
so always
evaluate new information and cheek it against
things you already accept as
fact.
56
Which of the following statements is true?
A
Not all the lies were obvious
B There was
no lie in the first lecture
C Dr. K didn’t
admit that he was a liar
D There was a lie in
each of the lectures
57 The underlined phrase
“ on the level” is closet in meaning to _____?
A academically focused B honest and
correct
C confusing and demanding D
technically difficult
58 Which is not among
Dr. K’s purpose of asking students to catch the
lies in the
lecture.
A To focus their
attention in class
B To stimulate them to
go through notes
C To encourage them to
discuss in study groups
D To enable them to
distinguish truth from falsehood.
59
How does the writer benefit from Dr; K ‘s
lectures ?
A He still remembers the
knowledge of Economics of Capital Markets
B
He won’t accept anything blindly and dares to
challenge authorities
C He is quick at
accepting new information and learning techniques
D He develops a habit of checking
everything before evaluation

Teacher
burnout(倦怠)and student stress may be linked,
according to a University
of British Columbia
study. The study is the first of its kind to
examine the connection
between teacher burnout
and students’ cortisol level(可体松水平),which are a
biological indicator of stress.
Researcher collected saliva (唾液) samples from over
400 elementary school
children and tested
their cortisol levels. They found that in
classroom in which
teachers experienced more
bornout , or feelings of emotional exhaustion ,
students’
cortisol levels were elevated.
Higher cortisol levels in elementary school
children
have been linked to learning
difficulties as well as mental health problems.
“ This suggests that stress spreading might
be taking place in the classroom among
students and their teachers,” said Eva Oberle,
the study’s lead author. Indeed , the
relationship between student stress and
teacher burnout is a chicken and egg question.
It is unknown what came first –evaluated
cortisol or teacher burnout . We consider the
connection between student and teacher stress
a cyclical problem in the classroom.
Oberle
said a stressful classroom climate could be a
result of inadequate support
for teachers,
which may impact teachers’ ability to effectively
manage their students.
A poorly managed
classroom can contribute to students’ needs not
being met and
increasing stress. This could be
reflected in elevated cortisol levels in students.
Alternatively , stress could originate from
students, who may be more challenging
to teach
because of increases in anxiety , behavioural
problems, or special needs. In
this situation
, teachers could feel overwhelmed and report
higher levels of burnout.
“Our study is a
reminder of the systemic issues facing teachers
and educators as
classroom sizes increase and
supports for teachers are cue,” said Oberle.
“ It is clear from a number of recent research
studies that teaching is one of the
most
stressful professions , and that teachers need
adequate resources and support in
their jobs
in order to battle burnout and relieve stress in
the classroom,” said UBC
education professor
Kimberly Schonert-Reichl, the study ‘s co-author
and director of
HELP. “If we do not support
teachers, we risk the collateral damage(附带损害) of
students.”
63 Which is the best title for
the passage?
A How to Relieve Stress in the
class
B A Puzzling Question of Egg and
Chicken
C The Most Stressful Profession in
the world
D The Link Between Students Stress
and Teacher Burnout
64 Paragraph 4 and
paragraph 5 are intended to make it clear that

A teacher burnout may be the
cause of the elevated cortisol levels in students
B the connection between students and teacher
stress is a cyclical problem
C students with
higher stress level are more likely to have
learning difficulties
D students’ behavioural
problems may result in teacher’s higher level of
burnout
65 According to the writer, many
British teachers face the problem that_______.
A teachers are not well trained to deal with
students’ problems
B teachers’ income
increases but teaching resources are cut
C
there’re more students in each class and less
support for teachers
D there is a widening
gap between students’ need and teachers’ ability

higher cortisol levels in students.
B Adequate
support may help teachers manage students more
effectively
C Students will benefit as a

cortisol level indicates high level of burnout.
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 that there are two more
sentences than you need.
A. Bambikes,
however, are not made entirely of bamboo.
B.
Bambike is a welcome option for people who wish to
travel without traffic
problems.
C. Though
it’s still a small venture, Bambike has reached a
degree of fame and
success.
D. It is
partnered with Gawad Kalinga, an organization
seeking to end poverty in the
Philippine.
E. The bamboo bikes come in different models,
all of which have passed
international
standards.
F. Creating jobs for Victoria’s
citizens isn’t the only way that this company
helps its
community.
What do you get
when you combine “the greenest building material”
with “the
most efficient machine ever
created”? Bryan McClelland says you end up with
his
company’s bamboo bicycle.
McClelland,
a Filipino-American, runs his company Bambike in
Victoria, a small
town about 83 kilometers
from Manila. ___67__ McClelland came up with the
idea
in 2007 when he was still a
volunteer for Gawad Kalinga, but it wasn’t until
2010 that
he officially started the business.
By employing locals, Bambike aids its community
and keeps people from moving to crowded urban
areas. Most employees craft the
bicycles while
a few also make “bambowties” with the extra bamboo
pieces.
Some might question the marriage of
bamboo and bicycles, but McCelland insists
it’s a nearly perfect union. Bamboo dampens
the vibration of the bike, so it takes a lot
of wear-and –tear off the rider’s joints when
riding through uneven streets. One
particular
kind of mature bamboo is as strong as steel, as
light as aluminum and as
sustainable as
anything. __68__ Abaca, a Filipino plant, and some
aircraft-quality
metals are also used. With
all of these materials, Bambikes stand up to tough
industry
standards alongside Giants and
Schwinns.
___69___ Ten percent of its profits
go back to the local community. Additionally,
in order to help promote education, Bambike
sponsors local teachers and has started
feeding programs for students. A bamboo
playground as well as school supplies and
scholarship programs are other benefits. The
company is also careful to plant more
bamboo
than it harvests to ensure that production and
progress continues. In the future,
improvements are also planned for Victoria’s
water and sanitation.
___70___ The bicycles
are shipped worldwide and have become known for
quality
and eco-friendly materials .Filipino
President Benigno Aquino III has even gifted
them to world leader, including Brack Obama.
TripAdvisor has also ranked
Bambike’s Manila
bike tour as one of the top activities to
experience in the city. A
bamboo revolution
has started in the Philippines, and it’s pedaling
at lightning speed.
IV. Summary Writing
(10%)
Directions : Read the following passage.
Summarize the main point(s) of the
passage in
no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far
as possible.
It is a common sight on campus or
in the streets : a young person rides by on an
electric scooter, traveling quickly and
proudly. But Beijing’s traffic authorities have
said that starting on Sept.5, people who are
caught riding electric scooters on public
roads or bicycle lanes will be fined 10 yuan.
They will also be given a warning not to
use
the vehicles on public roads again.
The
announcement was made after traffic police in
Shanghai started a campaign to
get electric
scooters off public roads, with police officers
stopping riders because the
scooters could
cause traffic problems.
The Beijing Consumer
Association said it had tested more than 20
electric scooters
of different brands recently
and found that most had substandard brakes. It
added that
16 of the tested scooters could go
faster than the maximum 20 km per hour set for
electric bikes. According to the traffic
police, people who ride electric scooters at
certain speeds can easily bump into the
vehicles in the vehicle lane and hurt people
who walk in the bicycle lanes.
But
seeing the benefits that electric scooters have
brought to young people,
experts are worried
that the ban may take effect slowly.
Electric scooters are a great answer to the “last
mile problem” of getting from a
public
transport station to one’s home. They’re light
enough to throw over your
shoulder. They’re
easy to ride just about anywhere and don’t need a
lot of physical
effort. The scooter can travel
25 km on one charge. It’s convenient and easy to
control.
The are also good for the
environment. Unlike cars and buses, electric
scooters
produce no carbon dioxide, need no
fuel and make almost no noise.
For many
young people, they use them to copy cool
celebrities they have seen in
videos.
