Part IV: Reading Comprehension(20%)
Directions: Each of the following four passages is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each question or
unfinished statement, four answers are given. Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each question. Mark your
choices on the Answer Sheet.
Passage One


Cancer has always been with us, but not always in the same way. Its care and management have differed over time, of course, but
so, too, have its identity, visibility, and meanings. Pick up the thread of history at its most distant end and you have cancer the crab—
so named either because of the ramifying venous processes spreading out from a tumor or because its pain is like the pinch of a crab’s
claw. Premodern cancer is a lump, a swelling that sometimes breaks through the skin in ulcerations producing foul- smelling
discharges. The ancient Egyptians knew about many tumors that had a bad outcome, and the Greeks made a distinction between
benign tumors (oncos) and malignant ones (carcinos). In the second century A.D., Galen reckoned that the cause was systemic, an
excess of melancholy or black bile, one of the body’s four “humors,” brought on by bad diet and environmental circumstances.
Ancient medical practitioners sometimes cut tumors out, but the prognosis was known to be grim. Describing tumors of the breast, an
Egyptian papyrus from about 1600 B.C.concluded: “There is no treatment.”
The experience of cancer has always been terrible, but, until modern times, its mark on the culture has been light. In the past, fear
coagulated around other ways of dying: infectious and epidemic diseases (plague, smallpox, cholera, typhus, typhoid fever);
“apoplexies” (what we now call strokes and heart attacks); and, most notably in the nineteenth century, “consumption”
(tuberculosis). The agonizing manner of cancer death was dreaded, but that fear was not centrally situated in the public mind—as it
now is. This is one reason that the medical historian Roy Porter wrote that cancer is “the modern disease par excellence,” and that
Mukherjee calls it “the quintessential product of modernity.”
At one time, it was thought that cancer was a “disease of civilization,” belonging to much the same causal domain as
“neurasthenia” and diabetes, the former a nervous weakness believed to be brought about by the stress of modern life and the latter a
condition produced by bad diet and indolence. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, some physicians attributed cancer—notably
of the breast and the ovaries—to psychological and behavioral causes. William Buchan’s wildly popular eighteenth-century text
“Domestic Medicine” judged that cancers might be caused by “excessive fear, grief, religious melancholy.” In the nineteenth
century, reference was repeatedly made to a “cancer personality,” and, in some versions, specifically to sexual repression. As Susan
Sontag observed, cancer was considered shameful, not to be mentioned, even obscene. Among the Romantics and the Victorians,
suffering and dying from tuberculosis might be considered a badge of refinement; cancer death was nothing of the sort. “It seems
unimaginable,” Sontag wrote, “to aestheticize” cancer.

Passage Two
D. Cancer is the price paid for modern life


If you happened to be watching NBC on the first Sunday morning in August last summer, you would have seen something curious.
There, on the set of Meet the Press, the host, David Gregory, was interviewing a guest who made a forceful case that the
U.S. economy had become “very distorted.” In the wake of the recession, this guest explained, high-income individuals, large
banks, and major corporations had experienced a “significant recovery”; the rest of the economy, by contrast—including small
businesses and “a very significant amount of the labor force”—was stuck and still struggling. What we were seeing, he argued, was
not a single economy at all, but rather “fundamentally two separate types of economy,” increasingly distinct and divergent.
This diagnosis, though alarming, was hardly unique: drawing attention to the divide between the wealthy and everyone else has
long been standard fare on the left. (The idea of “two Americas” was a central theme of John Edwards’s 2004 and 2008 presidential
runs.) What made the argument striking in this instance was that it was being offered by none other than the former five-term Federal
Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan: iconic libertarian, preeminent defender of the free market, and (at least until recently) the nation’s
foremost devotee of Ayn Rand. When the high priest of capitalism himself is declaring the growth in economic inequality a national
crisis, something has gone very, very wrong.

This widening gap between the rich and non-rich has been evident for years. In a 2005 report to investors, for instance, three
analysts at Citigroup advised that “the World is dividing into two blocs—the Plutonomy and the rest”.
In a plutonomy there is no such animal as “the U.S.consumer” or “the UK consumer”, or indeed “the Russian consumer”.
There are rich consumers, few in number, but disproportionate in the gigantic slice of income and consumption they take. There are
the rest, the “non-rich”, the multitudinous many, but only accounting for surprisingly small bites of the national pie.
Before the recession, it was relatively easy to ignore this concentration of wealth among an elite few. The wondrous inventions of
the modern economy—Google, Amazon, the iPhone broadly improved the lives of middle-class consumers, even as they made a tiny
subset of entrepreneurs hugely wealthy. And the less-wondrous inventions—particularly the explosion of subprime credit—helped
mask the rise of income inequality for many of those whose earnings were stagnant.

swift, subsequent reinstatement of gargantuan bonuses have inspired a narrative of parasitic bankers and other elites rigging the game
And this, in turn, has led to wider-and not unreasonable-fears that we are living in not merely a plutonomy,

A. fares quite well
B. has completely recovered from the economic recession
C. has its own problems
D. is lagging behind other industrial economies
47. Which of the following statement about today’s super-elite would the passage support?

49. The author seems to suggest that the financial crisis and its aftermath .
A. have compromised the rich with the non-rich
B. have enriched the plutocratic elite
C. have put Americans on the alert for too much power the rich possess
D. have enlarged the gap between the rich and non-rich
50. The primary purpose of the passage is to .
A. present the financial imbalance in the U.S.
B. display sympathy for the working class
C. criticize the superelite of the Unite States


D. appreciate the merits of the super rich in the U.S.
Passage Three
Charles Darwin’s “On the Origin of Species” is credited with sparking evolution’s revolution in scientific thought, but many
observers had pondered evolution before him. It was understanding the idea’s significance and selling it to the public that made
Darwin great, according to the Arnold Arboretum’s new director.
William Friedman, the Arnold Professor of Organism and Evolutionary Biology who took over as arboretum director Jan.1, has
studied Darwin’s writings as well as those of his predecessors and contemporaries. While Darwin is widely credited as the father of
evolution, Friedman said the “historical sketch” that Darwin attached to later printings of his masterpiece was intended to mollify
those who demanded credit for their own earlier ideas.
The historical sketch grew with each subsequent printing, Friedman told an audience Monday (Jan.10), until, by the 6th edition,
34 authors were mentioned in it. Scholars now believe that somewhere between 50 and 60 authors had beaten Darwin in their writings
about evolution Included was Darwin’s grandfather, Erasmus Darwin, a physician who irritated clergymen with his insistence that


Friedman said that Darwin’s
life arose from lower forms, specifically mollusks.
and was the first in a new Director’s Lecture Series.
Friedman’s talk, “A Darwinian Look at Darwin’s Evolutionist Ancestors,” took place at the arboretum’s Hunnewell Building
Though others had clearly pondered evolution before Darwin, he wasn’t without originality.
thinking on natural selection as the mechanism of evolution was shared by few, most prominently Alfred Wallace, whose writing on
the subject after years in the field spurred Darwin’s writing of “On the Origin of Species.” Although the book runs more than 400
pages, Friedman said it was never the book on evolution and natural selection that Darwin intended. In 1856, three years before the
book was published, he began work on a detailed tome on natural selection that wouldn’t see publication until 1975.
The seminal event in creating “On the Origin of Species” occurred in 1858, when Wallace wrote Darwin detailing Wallace’s
ideas of evolution by natural selection. The arrival of Wallace’s ideas galvanized Darwin into writing “On the Origin of Species” as
an “abstract” of the ideas he was painstakingly laying out in the larger work.
This was a lucky break for Darwin, because it forced him to write his ideas in plain language, which led to a book that was not
only revolutionary, despite those who’d tread similar ground before, but that was also very readable.
Though others thought about evolution before Darwin, scientific discovery requires more than just an idea. In addition to the
concept, discovery requires the understanding of the significance of the idea, something some of the earlier authors clearly did not
have—such as the arborist who buried his thoughts on natural selection in the appendix of a book on naval timber. Lastly, scientific
discovery demands the ability to convince others of the correctness of an idea.
the only thinker of the time who had all three of those traits, Friedman said.
Darwin, through “On the Origin of Species,” was
“Darwin had the ability to convince others of the correctness of the idea,” Friedman said, adding that even Wallace, whose claim
to new thinking on evolution and natural selection was stronger than all the others, paid homage to Darwin by titling his 1889 book on
the subject, “Darwinism.”
51. According to William Friedman, Darwin’s “On the Origin of Species” is great in that
.
A. it was the most studied by later scientists
B. it had significant ideas about evolution
C. it was the first to talk about evolution
D. it was well received by the public

Passage Four
Many adults may think they are getting enough shut-eye, but in a major sleep study almost 80 percent of respondents admitted to
not getting their prescribed amount of nightly rest. So, what exactly is the right amount of sleep? Research shows that adults need an
average of seven to nine hours of sleep a night for optimal functionality. Read on to see just how much of an impact moderate sleep
deprivation can have on your mind and body.
By getting less than six hours of sleep a night, you could be putting yourself at risk of high blood pressure. When you sleep, your
heart gets a break and is able to slow down for a significant period of time. But cutting back on sleep means your heart has to work
overtime without its allotted break. In constantly doing so, your body must accommodate to its new conditions and elevate your
overall daily blood pressure. And the heart isn’t the only organ that is overtaxed by a lack of sleeps. The less sleep you get, the less
time the brain has to regulate stress hormones, and over time, sleep deprivation could permanently hinder the brain’s ability to
regulate these hormones, leading to elevated blood pressure.
We all hang around in bed during our bouts of illness. But did you know that skipping out on the bed rest can increase your risk of
getting sick? Prolonged sleep deprivation has long been associated with diminished immune functions, but researchers have also
found a direct correlation between “modest” sleep deprivation—less than six hours—and reduced immune response. So try to
toughen up your immune system by getting at least seven hours of sleep a night, and maintaining a healthy diet. You’ll be glad you
got that extra hour of sleep the next time that bug comes around and leaves everyone else bedridden with a fever for three days.
During deep REM sleep, your muscles (except those in the eyes) are essentially immobilized in order to keep you from acting out
on your dreams. Unfortunately, this effort your body makes to keep you safe while dreaming can sometimes backfire, resulting in
sleep paralysis. Sleep paralysis occurs when the brain is aroused from its REM cycle, but the body remains in its immobilizing state.
This can be quite a frightening sensation because, while your mind is slowly regaining consciousness, it has no control over your body,
leaving some with a feeling of powerlessness, fear and panic. Most people experience this eerie phenomena at least once in their lives,
but those who are sleep deprived are more likely to have panicked episodes of sleep paralysis that are usually accompanied by
hallucinations, as well.
It’s a chilling thought, but that is what a life without sleep would be like.
For a second, imagine all of your memories are erased; every birthday, summer vacation, even what you did yesterday afternoon is
completely lost, because you have no recollection of them.
Sleep is essential to the cognitive functions of the brain, and without it, our ability to consolidate memories, learn daily tasks, and
make decisions is impaired by a large degree. Research has revealed that REM sleep, or dream-sleep, helps solidify the “fragile”
memories the brain creates throughout the day to that they can be easily organized and stored in the mind’s long-term cache.
56. According to the passage, what is the meaning of “sleep deprivation”?
A. To sleep for an average period of time.
B. To sleep deeply without dreaming.
C. To sleep less than needed.
D. To sleep modestly.




57. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?
A. When everyone else gets a fever, those with sleep deprivation will be abele to sleep longer.
B. When everyone else gets a fever, those who usually have adequate sleep will be alright.
C. Only modest sleep deprivation could weaken the immune system.
58. Why is there the so-called “sleep paralysis”?
A. It occurs when you are unable to wake up from dreams while you are sleeping.



B. It occurs when you brain immobilizes your body in order to keep you from dreaming.

D. Prolonged sleep deprivation will not have impact on the immune system.

C. Because you are usually too frightened to move your body when waking up from deep REM sleep.
D. Because your body, immobilized when dreaming, may still be unable to move even when your brain is waking up.


of the following statements is TRUE according to the last paragraph?
A. Memories are part of the cognitive function of the brain.


B. Memories created during the daytime are usually fragile and impaired.
C. You are likely to lose your memories of yesterday after a night’s sleep.
D. Longterm memory cannot be formed without dream-sleep.

60. What effects of sleep deprivation on human mind and body are discussed in this passage?
A. High blood pressure, a toughened immune system, sleep paralysis, and memory loss.
B. Blood pressure, immune system, sleep paralysis, and longterm memory.



C. Blood pressure, immune system, the brain and the body, and memory.

Part Ⅳ Reading Comprehension
Passage One
41.【D】本题考查事实细节。根据文章第一段中的“The ancient Egyptians knew about many tumors that had a bad outcome, and the Greeks made
a distinction between benign tumors (oncos) and malignant ones (carcinos)
区分出良性肿瘤和恶性肿瘤了,所以答案为D。
42.【D】本题考查 推理判断能力。文章中共有三处提及恐惧,但和癌症并提则在最后一段,威廉·巴契南认为过度恐惧会导致癌症, 但这
并不等于说人们惧怕癌症,故不选B。根据最后一段中的“Among the Romantics and the Victorians, suffering and dying from tuberculosis
might be considered a badge of refinement; cancer death was nothing of the sor t”可知,在浪漫主义时期和维多利亚时期,受肺结核折磨
甚至死于肺结核被当成是文雅的标志;患癌死 亡那就完全不同了,排除C;通读全文,A项文中没有提到;根据最后一段中的“In the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, some physicians attributed cancer—notably of the breast and the ovaries—to psychological and behavioral causes”可知,在十八九世纪,一些医生将癌症——尤其是乳房癌和子宫癌——的产生归咎到心理或行 为方面,所以D项正确。
43.【C】本题考查推理能力。根据文章第二段最后两句话可知,癌症致死 的苦状令人畏惧,但是恐惧并没有成为公众意识中的关注焦点,
而现在不同了。医学史家罗伊·波特将其 说成是“最卓越的现代病”,慕克吉称其为“现代性最典型的产物”,这就是其中一方面的
原因。所以C 项“现在,人们以全新的方式理解癌症”正确。
44.【D】本题考查推理能力。根据文章最后一段第 一、二句话可知,人们曾经认为癌症是一种“文明病”,病因与神经衰弱症和糖尿病类
似;前者是因现代 生活的压力而产生的神经衰弱,后者是因饮食不良和懒惰而产生。在十八九世纪,一些医生将癌症——尤其是乳房
癌和子宫癌——的产生归咎到心理或行为方面。这里提到神经衰弱症和糖尿病是为了说明癌症和它们类似 ,和心理和行为有关,选D。
45.【A】本题考查推理能力。根据文章第一段第一、二句可知,癌症 始终如影随形,但是纠缠的方式却有变化。诊治处理方法当然也随着
时代进步有变化,而其存在性质、表 现和意义也发生了改变。作者在这两句话中隐藏了自己的观点。所以选A。

46.【C】本题考查概括推理能力。根据第一段内容可知。A、B项说法错误,根据常识可知D项错误 ,所以C项符合题意。
47.【D】本题是细节推断题。根据第五段内容可知,现代经济的惊人发明会 使一小部分企业家变得非常富有,所以A项错误;根据最后一
段内容可知,超级精英对政治的影响力很大 ,所以他们会担心日益扩大的收入的不平等会给社会和政治带来影响,所以D项符合题意。
48.【D】本题考查推断能力。根据第五段中的“The wondrous inventions of the modern economy—Google, Amazon, the iPhone broadly improved
the lives of middleclass consumers, even as they made a tiny subset of entrepreneurs hugely wealthy”可知,现代经济的惊人发明广泛
提高了 中产阶级消费者的生活,使一小部分企业家变得非常富有,所以D项符合题意。
49.【C】本题考查 细节推理。根据最后一段内容可知,金融危机后,许多寄生银行家和精英为了自己的利益而操纵游戏,这产生了广 泛且
不合理的恐惧——多数人不只生活在富人经济学中,还生活在富人政治中,富人政治影响力很大,又 有狭隘利己主义的动机和对别人
的冷漠,所以选C。
50.【A】本题考查概括能力。通读全 文可知,本文主要介绍美国经济也存在自身的问题——贫富差距,富有消费者虽然数量很少,但是他
们占 据了不成比例的巨大收入和消费。非富有者数量很大,但是他们只咬了国家馅饼的一小口,这非常令人惊奇,所以 A选项符合题
意。

51.【D】本题考查事实细节。根据文章第一段最后一句“It was understanding the idea

54.【A】本题考查推理能力。根据文章第五段中的“Although the book runs more than 400 pages, Friedman said it was never the book on evolution
and natural selection that Darwin intended
selection that wouldn
项符合题意。
55.【C】本题考查概括能力。根据文章倒数第二段内容可知, 除了观念,科学发现还要求对观念重要性的认识,科学发现还要求有能力说
服别人相信观点正确。所以C 项符合题意。
Passage Four
56.【C】本题考查推理能力。根据文章第三段中的Prolonged sleep deprivation has long been associated with diminished immune functions, but
researchers have also found a direct correlation between “modest” sleep deprivation—less than six hours—and reduced immune response
可知,“modest” sleep deprivation指少于六个小时的睡眠,文中说成人每天需要七到九个小时的睡眠,sleep deprivation应该指睡眠少
于需要的量,选C。
57.【B】本题考查推理能力。根据第三段“You
else bedridden with a fever for three days
ll be glad you got that extra hour of sleep the next time that bug comes around and leaves everyone
”可知,下次你会庆幸多睡了一个小时,因为一旦感冒,别人就要发烧睡上三天。所以当其他
In 1856, three years before the book was published, he began work on a detailed tome on natural
”可知,虽然该书长达400多页,弗里德曼说,但是达尔文从未打算把它写成进化t see publication until 1975
’”可知,里德曼说,达尔文关于自然选择作 为进化机理的思想很少被人分享,最突出的是阿尔弗雷德·华莱士,
和自然选择的书。1856年,此书 出版三年前,达尔文开始从事关于自然选择的大部头工作,这个大部头直到1975年才出版。所以A
所 有人发烧时,那些睡眠充足的人通常没事,选B。
58.【D】本题考查细节。根据文章第四段中的“Sleep paralysis occurs when the brain is aroused from its REM cycle, but the body remains in its
immobilizing state”可知,当大脑从快速眼动周期被唤醒,但身体仍然保持不动状态,大脑睡眠瘫痪就发生了,选D。
59.【B】本题考查推理能力。根据文章最后一段最后一句话可知,研究显示,快速眼动睡眠或眠梦期 有助于巩固大脑一天产生的脆弱记忆,
这些记忆便于在大脑中长期组织和储存。所以B项“白天产生的记 忆是脆弱易受损的”正确。
60.【D】本题考查概括能力。第二段最后一句提到睡眠不足会导致血压 升高;第三段中间提到睡眠不足与免疫功能下降有关;第四段主要
讨论睡眠瘫痪;最后一段主要讲睡眠不 足使记忆丢失。概括全文,D项符合题意。

Part Ⅵ Writing
【参考范文】
China government has always been committed to imposing a minimum wage system at the local level and quickening measures to plug the
problem. Minimum wages of employees becomes higher in many places. Correspondingly, there is a widespread concern over the issue of higher
minimum wage. In fact, there are both advantages and disadvantages in higher minimum wage system. Generally speaking, it is widely believed
there are several positive aspects as follows. Firstly, Along with minimum wage improvement, people’s living standard will be enhanced and they
would be able to purchase houses, automobiles that they produced, in effect creating a market for the product to a certain extent. And secondly, the
new wage policy in terms of efficiency and profit sharing aims at protecting rights and interests of laborers, to eliminate or alleviate poverty. Caring
for the disadvantaged, minimum wage guarantee system attaches great importance to people with low income who are hard struggling against
poverty and striving for survival.
Just as a popular saying goes, “every coin has two sides”, minimum wage system is no exception, and in another word, it still has negative
aspects. To begin with, it increases unemployment. Minimum wage system has been put into force, labor demand will be reduced as a result, that is,
quantity supply of labor is more than quantity demand for labor, and unemployment will be increased. In addition, it may do harm to young worker
employment. Due to lack of experience, young workers have lower productivity, thus the employers only pay them lower wages. In case of
minimum wage limitation, the employers will turn to experienced workers; therefore, minimum wage system may give rise to reduce the young
workers’ employment opportunities.
To sum up, we should try to bring the advantages of minimum wage system into full play, and reduce the disadvantages to the minimum at the
same time. In that case, we will definitely make a better use of the minimum wage system.
同样地,也”,句子中后面跟的是名词,表列举,这里应该用介词like。
