grammatically correct. For the blanks with
a given word, fill in each blank with the proper
form of
the given word; for the other blanks,

(A)
How I Turned to Be Optimistic (乐观的)
I
began to grow up that winter night when my parents
and I were returning from my aunt’s
house, and
my mother said that we (25)______(leave) for
America soon. We were on the bus then. I
was
crying, and some people on the bus were turning
around to look at me. I remember I could not
bear the thought of never hearing again the
radio program for school children to (26)______ I
listened every morning .
I do not remember
myself (27)______(cry) for this reason again. In
fact I think I cried very
little when I was
saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When
we were leaving I thought about
all the places
I was going to see. The country I was leaving
never to come back was hardly in my
head then.
The four years that followed taught me the
importance of optimism, but (28)______ idea did
not come to me at once. For the first two
years in New York I was really lost. I did not
quite know
what I was or what I should be.
Mother remarried, and things became even
(29)______(complex) for
me. Some time passed
before my stepfather and I got used to each other.
However, my
responsibilities in the family
increased a lot since my English was superior
(30)______ anyone
else’s at home. I
translated at interviews with immigration
officers, and even discussed telephone
bills
with company representatives.
From my
experiences, I believe that my life will turn out
all right (31)______ ______ it is not
that
easy.
(B)
How Room Designs Affect Our
Work and Feeling
Architects have long had the
feeling that the place we live in can affect our
thoughts, feeling
and behaviours. But now
scientists are giving this feeling an
empirical(实证的)basis. They are
discovering how
(32)______(design) spaces that promote creativity,
keep people focused, and lead
to relaxation.
Researches show aspects of the physical
environment can influence creativity. In 2012,
Joan
Meyers-Levy reported that the height of a
room’s ceiling affects (33)______ people think.
Her
research indicates that higher ceilings
encourage people to think more freely,
(34)______(lead) them
to make more abstract
connections. Low ceilings, on the other hand, may
inspire a more detailed
outlook. Besides
ceiling height, the view (35)______(afford) by a
building may influence an
occupant’s ability
to concentrate.
Using nature to improve focus
of attention ought to pay off academically, and
(36)______
seems to, according to a study.
Students in classrooms with unblocked views of at
least 50 feet
outside the window had higher
scores on tests of vocabulary, language arts and
maths than did
students (37)______ classrooms
primarily overlooked roads and parking lots.
Recent study on room lighting design suggests
that dim light helps people loosen up.
(38)______ that is true generally, keeping the
light low during dinner or at parties could
increase
relaxation.
So far public
buildings (39)______(focus) on by scientists. “We
have a very limited number of
studies, so we
are almost looking at the problem through a straw
(吸管),” architect David says.
“How do you take
answers to very specific questions and make broad
use of them? That is
(40)______ we are all
struggling with.”

Foreign drivers will
have a pay on-the-spot fines of up to £900 for
breaking the traffic law to
be carried out
next month.
If they do not have enough cash or
a working credit card, their vehicles will be
clamped(扣留)
until they pay — and they will face
a(n) 41 fee of £80 for getting back their
vehicles.
The law will also be 42 to
British citizens. The fines will be described
officially as
“deposits” when the traffic laws
take 43 , because the money would be returned
if the driver
went to court and was found not
guilty. In practice, very few foreign drivers are
likely to return to
Britain to deal with their
cases.
Foreign drivers are rarely 44
because police cannot take action against them if
they fail to
appear in court. Instead,
officers often 45 give warnings. Foreign
vehicles are 30 percent
more likely to be in a
crash than British-registered vehicles. The number
of crashes caused by
foreign vehicles rose by
47 percent between 2008 and 2013. There were
almost 400 deaths and
serious injuries and
3,000 46 injuries from accidents caused by
foreign vehicles in 2013.
The new law is
partly 47 to settle the problem of foreign
lorry drivers ignoring limits to
weight and
hours at the wheel. Foreign lorries are three
times more likely to be in a crash than
British lorries. Recent spot checks found that
three quarters of lorries that failed safety tests
were
48 overseas.
The standard
deposit for a careless driving 49 —such as
driving too close to the vehicle
in front or
reading a map at the wheel—will be £300. Foreign
drivers will not get points as
50 added to
their licenses, while British drivers will.
III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following
passage 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.
Planning
In any planning system, from the simplest
budgeting to the most complex corporate planning,
there is an annual process. This is partly due
to the fact that firms 51 their accounting on
a
yearly basis, but also because similar 52
often occur in the market.
Usually, the larger
the firm, the longer the planning takes. But 53
, planning for next year
may start nine months
or more in advance, with various stages of
evaluation leading to 54 of
the complete
plan three months before the start of the year.
Planning continues, however, throughout the
year, since managers 55 progress against
targets, while looking forward to the next
year. What is happening now will 56 the
objectives
and plans for the future.
In
today’s business climate, as markets constantly
change and become more difficult to 57 ,
some analysts believe that long-term planning
is 58 . In some markets they may be right, as
long as companies can build the sort of
flexibility into their operations which allows
them to
59 to any sudden changes.
Most
firms, however, need to plan more than one year
ahead in order to 60 their
long-term
goals. This may reflect the time it takes to
commission (委任) and build a new production
plant, or, in marketing 61 , it may be a
question of how long it takes to research and
launch a
range of new products, and reach a
certain 62 in the market. If, for example, it
is going to take
five years for a particular
airline to become the 63 choice amongst
business travellers on
certain routes, the
airline must plan for the various 64 involved.
Every one-year plan, therefore, must be 65
in relation to longer-term plans, and it should
contain die stages that are necessary to
achieve the final goals.

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)
My dad loved pennies, especially
those with the elegant stalk (茎) of wheat curving
around
each side of the ONE CENT on the back.
Those were the pennies he grew up with during the
Depression.
As a kid, I would go for
walks with Dad, spying coins along the way—a penny
here, a dime
(一角硬币) there. Whenever I picked
up a penny, he’d ask, “Is it a wheat?” It always
thrilled him
when we found one of those
special coins produced between 1909 and 1958, the
year of my birth.
One gray Sunday morning in
winter, not long after my father’s death in 2002,
I was walking
down Fifth Avenue, feeling
bereft. I found myself in front of the church
where Dad once worked. I
was warmly shown in
and led to a seat. Hearing Dad’s favorite “A
Mighty Fortress Is Our God”, I
burst into
tears. We’d sung that at his funeral.
After
the service, I shook the pastor’s (牧师) hand and
stepped onto the side walk—and there
was a
penny. I bent to pick it up, turned it over, and
sure enough, it was a wheat. A 1944, a year my
father was serving on a ship in the South
Pacific.
That started it. Suddenly wheat
pennies began turning up on the sidewalks of New
York
everywhere. I got most of the important
years: his birth year, my mom’s birth year, the
year he
graduated from college, the year he
met my mom, the year they got married, the year my
sister was
born. But alas, no 1958 wheat
penny—my year, the last year they were made.
The next Sunday, after the service, I was
walking up Fifth Avenue and spotted a penny in the
middle of a crossing. Oh, no, it was a busy
street;cabs were speeding by—should I risk it? I
just had
to get it.
A wheat! But the penny
was worn, and I couldn’t read the date. On
arriving home, I took out
my glasses and took
it to the light. There was my birthday!
I
found 21 wheat pennies on the streets of Manhattan
in the year after my father died, and I
don’t
think that’s a coincidence.
66. The writer’s
father loved pennies with wheat because ________.
A. when he first saw it, he began to love it
B. when he saw the wheat, he thought of his
time during the Depression
C. when he was
young, he had a lot of pennies with wheat
D.
when he was a child, he never got a coin with
wheat
67. The underlined word “bereft”
(in means ________.
A. protested B.
disappointed C. grieved
68. Which of the
following statements about the author is NOT true?
A. He was born in 1958.
B. He knew the
church well.
C. He once worked in a church.
D. He went to church because of his father.
69. The best title for the passage would
probably be ________.
A. Pennies from Heaven
B. My father’s life story
C. My father’s hobby
D. Living in New York
(B)
D. offended

(C)
There are desert plants which survive the
dry season in the form of inactive seeds. There
are
also desert insects which survive as
inactive larvae (幼虫). In addition, difficult as it
is to believe,
there are desert fish which can
survive through years of droughts in the form of
inactive eggs. These
are the shrimps (小虾) that
live in the Mojave Desert, an intensely dry region
in the south-west of
the United States where
shade temperatures of over 50℃ are often recorded.
The eggs of the Mojave shrimps are the size
and have the appearance of grains of sand. When
sufficient spring rain falls to form a lake,
once every two to five years, these eggs hatch.
Then the
water is soon filled with millions of
tiny shrimps about a millimetre long which feed on
tiny plant
and animal organisms which also
grow in the temporary desert lake. Within a week,
the shrimps
grow from their original 1
millimetre to a length of about centimetres.
Throughout the time that the shrimps are
rapidly maturing, the water in the lake equally
rapidly
evaporates (挥发). Therefore, for the
shrimps it is a race against time. By the twelfth
day, however,
when they are about 3
centimetres long, hundreds of tiny eggs form on
the underbodies of the
females. Usually by
this time, all that remains of the lake is a
large, muddy patch of wet soil. On the
thirteenth day and the next, during the final
hours of their brief lives, the shrimps lay their
eggs in
the mud. Then, having ensured that
their species will survive, the shrimps die as the
last of the water
evaporates.
If
sufficient rain falls the next year to form
another lake, the eggs hatch, and once again the
shrimps pass rapidly through their cycle of
growth, adulthood, egg-laying, and death. Some
years
there is insufficient rain to form a
lake: in this case, the eggs will remain dormant
for another year,
or even longer if necessary.
Very, very occasionally, perhaps twice in a
hundred years, sufficient
rain falls to form a
deep lake that lasts a month or more. In this
case, the species passes through two
cycles of
growth, egg-laying, and death. Thus, on such
occasions, the species multiplies considerably,
which further ensures its survival.
74.
Which of the following is the most distinctive
feature of Mojave shrimps?
A. They live a
brief and tough life. B. They feed on plant and
animal organisms.
C. Their eggs can survive
years of drought. D. They lay their eggs in the
mud.
C. a document on appealing for volunteers
75. The word “dormant” (in Para 4) most
probably means ________.
A. inactive B.
strong C. alert D. soft
76. What can be
inferred from the passage?
A. appearance and
size are important factors for life to survive in
the desert.
B. a species must be able to
multiply quickly in order to survive in the
desert.
C. for some species one life cycle in
a year is enough to survive the desert drought.
D. some species develop a unique life pattern
to survive in severe conditions.
77. The
passage mainly deals with ________.
A. the
life span of the Mojave shrimps B. the survival
of desert shrimps
C. the creatures living in
the Mojave desert D. the importance of water to
life in the desert
Section C
Directions:
Read the passage carefully. Then answer the
questions or complete the statements in the
fewest possible words.
The greatest recent
social changes have been in the lives of women in
America, or probably in
the world.
During
the twentieth century there has been a remarkable
shortening of the time of a woman’s
life spent
in caring for children. A woman marrying at the
end of the nineteenth century would
probably
have been in her middle twenties, and would be
likely to have seven or eight children, of
whom four or five lived till they were five
years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen,
the
mother would have been in her early
fifties and would expect to live a further twenty
years, during
which health made it unusual for
her to get paid work. Today women marry younger
and have fewer
children. Usually a woman’s
youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-
five and can be
expected to live another
thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work
until retirement at sixty.
Even while she has
the care of children, her work is lightened by
modern living conditions.
This important
change in women’s life-pattern has only recently
begun to have its full effect on
women’s
economic position. Even a few years ago most girls
left schools at the first chance, and
most of
them took a full-time job. However, when they
married, they usually left work at once and
never returned to it. Today the school-leaving
age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after
that age,
and though women usually marry
younger, more married women stay at least until
shortly before
their first child is born. Very
many more afterwards return to full or part-time
work.
Such changes have led to a new
relationship in marriage, with the husband
accepting a greater
share of the duties and
satisfactions of family life, and with the both
husband and wife sharing more
equally in
providing the money and running the home in terms
of the abilities and interests of each
of
them.
(Note: Answer the questions or
complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT
WORDS.)
78. At what age did most women get
married in the late nineteenth century?
79. A
woman today can still take care of her children
when doing paid work in their forties because
of ________.
80. Of “such changes” today,
one is that many more mothers ________ after their
first child is born.
81. What are the factors
that cause a couple to share economic and family
affairs in an equal way?
