A pen has always been a(n) (31) ________tool when it comes to taking exams. However, in
this digital age, this traditional tool may become a thing of the past.
Cambridge University in Britain is considering ending 800 years of written exams and
allowing students to use laptops(手提电脑) or iPads to take exams instead.
The move comes after Cambridge teachers complained that students’ handwriting is
becoming too hard to recognize. The (32)______ in being able to write neatly could largely be
down to the (33)______ on laptops in lectures and elsewhere.
―There has definitely been a (34)______ trend. It is difficult for both the students and the
examiners as it is harder and harder to read these scripts,‖ Sarah Pearsall, a senior lecturer at the
university, told The Telegraph.
As a result, more and more students with poor handwriting are being (35)______ to return to
university during the summer holidays to read their answers aloud to university administrators.
However, some (36)______ the move, fearing the handwritten word would become a lost art.
Tracey Trussell, a handwriting expert at the British Institute of Graphologists, (37)______
Cambridge to ―make sure that students continue to write by hand, particularly in lectures‖. She
told The Telegraph that writing by hand could help students improve their memory and understand
lessons better.
Meanwhile, there are also concerns that primary and secondary schools could follow
Cambridge’s examples.
In fact, a similar plan was carried out for some first- and second- year students at Edinburgh
University in the UK in 2011, reported The Scotsman. Senior officials at the university believed it
was (38)______ to expect students to use pens and paper during exams when most of their
coursework was done using computers.
The move also echoes the opinions of Harvard professor Eric Mazur, known as the father of
the ―flipped classroom (翻转课堂)‖. He believed that the rise of the (39)______ to mobile internet
means that we live in an age in which we don’t need to memorize anything. Students should be
tested on their creative and (40)______ skills, rather than the ability to remember information, he
said during the Times Higher Education World Academic Summit in September.

III. Grammar and Vocabulary
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 work or phrase that best fits the context.
It's no secret that as a population, Americans have been getting heavier, but researchers now
say that our weight problem may be worse than we thought.
In a study published in the journal PLOS One, lead author Dr. Eric Braverman says that our
current measure of obesity (肥胖症) -- body mass index, or BMI -- significantly (41) ______ the
number of people, especially women, who are obese.
Braverman and his co-author, Dr. Nirav Shah, studied 1,400 men and women, comparing
their BMI measurement to their percentage of body fat, as measured by a dual-energy X-ray
absorptiometry (DEXA) scan. While BMI is a simple ratio of a person’s height and weight, the


DEXA scan-- which is normally used to measure body density (密度) -- can (42) ______ between
bone, fat and muscle mass.
Based on BMI, about one-third of Americans are considered obese, but when other methods
of measuring obesity are used, that number may be (43) ______ to 60% according to Braverman.
Physicians have complained for years that BMI is a(n) (44) ______ measure of healthy
weight. Extremely muscular people, (45) ______ , may weigh ―too much‖ for their height, since
dense muscle mass weighs more than fat, thus qualifying as obese even if their bodies contain
very little fat. Yet it’s not extra weight itself, but excess fat that (46) ______ health problems.
―People aren’t being diagnosed as obese, so they’re not being told about their risk of disease
or being given (47) _____ on how to improve their health,‖ Braverman said. Data show that
people who (48) ______ to put on pounds are more likely to continue getting heavier, increasing
their risk for a number of diseases.
So why is BMI still being used, if it’s not (49) ______? For now, it’s the best and easiest way
for physicians to measure a person’s healthy weight while taking into account his or her general
body (50) ______. DEXA scans are far too expensive to be used as a (51) ______ measure during
doctor’s visits. BMI isn’t perfect, but many experts say it’s the best they have.
Still, as results like Braverman’s continue to (52) ______, it may be time to consider other
ways of tracking weight, and (53) ______, body fat. ―It’s important to point out the (54) ______ of
the BMI,‖ d Bergman, director of Cedars Sinai’s Obesity and Diabetes Research
Institute in Los Angeles said. ―It’s a poor measure of (55) ______, and we do need better
measures.‖

that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.
(A)
While a female politician or first lady can use her clothing to create a favorable public image,
male politicians don’t have as many fashion choices to play with. But Canadian Prime Minister
Justin Trudeau seems to have discovered a goldmine – his socks.
He’s been seen wearing ―statement socks‖ at many public events. For example, during a
NATO(北大西洋公约组织) meeting in Brussels in May, Trudeau wore one blue sock and one
pink, both with the NATO symbol printed on them. And in June, he wore a pair of socks with the
pattern of maple leaves – a national symbol of Canada – when he appeared on a TV show.
The New York Times’ editor Vanessa Friedman praised Trudeau’s play on his socks as
―clever‖.
―Socks are subtle(微妙的) enough not to be distracting, but visible enough that you can’t
miss the point,‖ she wrote. ―Rarely have a man’s ankles said so much.‖
But not all the playful socks that Trudeau wears send some kind of political message – some
of them are just for fun.
One example is a pair he wore during a meeting with Enda Kenny, then the prime minister of
Ireland, in Montreal on May 4. During their meeting, Trudeau wore Star Wars socks – simply
because that day happened to be International Star Wars Day. If this pair of socks sent out any
message, according to Vogue magazine reporter Emily Farra, that message was ―just that he has a
quirky side and loves George Lucas films,‖ she wrote.
However, some say that 45-year-old Trudeau’s unusual sock choices show a childish side of
the prime minister that proves he isn’t mature enough to be the leader of a country.
But Friedman doesn’t see it that way. ―The socks have been a source of pride and applause on
an international scale – a symbol both of Mr Trudeau’s ability to embrace multiculturalism and of
his position as a next-generation leader not bound by old traditions,‖ she wrote. ―They have
opened up possibilities for the future.‖

1. Trudeau wore a pair of socks with the pattern of maple leaves to _______
A. distract audience’s attention from the TV shows
B. send a message that he is proud of his country
C. narrow the gap between politician and civilians
D. claim that he is the new-generation leader of the country
2. The underlined word ―quirky‖ is closest in meaning to _______
A. abnormal
B. serious
C. enthusiastic
D. odd
3. According to Friedman, Justin Trudeau _______
A. has a promising future but still an inexperienced politician


B. used a clever way to explore and finally discovered a goldmine
C. is open-minded and is ready to accept different cultures
D. is a leader who has abandoned old traditions to build up his future
4. The article is mainly about _______
A. the strange hobby of a young politician
B. a young leader’s clever choice of socks
C. how male politicians maintain public image
D. the gender difference in modern politicians

(C)
Researchers in the field of psychology have found that one of the best ways to make an
important decision, such as choosing a university to attend or a business to invest in, involves the
utilization of a decision worksheet. Psychologists who study optimization compare actual
decisions made by people to theoretical ideal decisions to see how similar they are. Supporters of
the worksheet procedure believe that it will yield optimal, that is, the best decisions. Although
there are several variations on the exact format that worksheet can take, they are all similar in their
essential aspects. Worksheets require defining the problem in a clear and concise way and then
listing all possible solutions to the problem. Next, the relevant considerations that will be affected
by each decision are listed, and the relative importance of each consideration or consequence is
determined. Each consideration is assigned a numerical value to reflect its relative importance. A
decision is mathematically calculated by adding these values together. The alternative with the


highest number of points emerges as the best decision.
Since most important problems are multifaceted(多层面的), there are several alternatives to
choose from, each with unique advantages and disadvantages. One of the benefits of a pencil and
paper decision-making procedure is that it permits people to deal with more variables than their
minds can generally comprehend and remember. On the average, people can keep about seven
ideas in their minds at once. A worksheet can be especially useful when the decision involves a
large number of variables with complex relationships. A realistic example for many college
students is the question ―What will I do after graduation?‖ A graduate might seek a position that
offers specialized training, pursue an advanced degree, or travel abroad for a year.
A decision- making worksheet begins with a brief statement of the problem that will also help
to narrow it. It is important to be clear about the distinction between long-range and immediate
goals because long-range goals often involve a different decision than short-range ones. Focusing
on long range goals, a graduating student might revise the question above to ―What will I do
after graduation that will lead to a successful career?‖

1. Of the following steps, which occurs before the others in making a decision worksheet?
A. Listing the consequences of each solution.
B. Calculating a numerical summary of each solution.
C. Deciding which consequences are most important.
D. Writing down all possible solutions.
2. According to decision-worksheet theory, an optional decision is defined as one that _______.
A. has the fewest variables to consider
B. uses the most decision worksheets
C. has the most points assigned to it
D. is agreed to by the greatest number of people
3. The author states that ―On the average, people can keep about seven ideas in their minds at
once‖ to explain that ________.
A. most decisions involve seven steps
B. human mental capacity has limitations
C. some people have difficulty making minor as well as major decisions
D. people can learn to keep more than seven ideas in their minds with practice
4. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. A tool to assist in making complex decisions.
B. A comparison of actual decisions and ideal decisions.
C. Research on how people make decisions.
D. Differences between long- range and short-range decision making.


Section C (8%)
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence
can be used only once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.
A. Add a short but descriptive subject line.
B. Having others waiting for your e-mails hurts their enthusiasm for work.
C. It could get you a bad reputation as being indiscreet.
D. People find long e-mails irksome and energy-sapping.
AB. Rushed e-mails that violate the basic norms of written language bespeak carelessness.
AC. Sending out e-mails after working hour could be seen as being impolite.

Your clients and colleagues don’t have time to engage fully with every e-mail they get. Some
of them receive hundreds of messages per day. That’s why they start with the ones they can deal
with quickly. They may never get around to answering — or even reading — the rest.
So how do you earn their attention? Try these tips:
Stick to standard capitalization and punctuation. Conventions of good writing may seem like
a waste of time for e-mail, especially when you’re tapping out messages on a handheld device.
But it’s a matter of getting things right — the little things. Even if people in your group don’t
capitalize or punctuate in their messages, stand out as someone who does. ______67_____ And
their abbreviated style can be confusing. It takes less time to write a clear message the first time
around than it does to follow up to explain what you meant to say.
Be brief — but not too brief. _____68____ The more they have to scroll or swipe, the less
receptive they’ll be to your message. They’ll probably just skim it and miss important details — or
skip it altogether. So rarely compose more than a single screen of reading. Focus your content, and
tighten your language. But as you’re trimming the fat from your message, keep the meat intact.
When giving a project update, for example, supply enough background information to orient your
readers. Consider your message from their perspective. They aren’t as immersed in your project as
you are, and they probably have many other things going on. So remind them where things stood
when you last sent an update, and describe what’s happened since then.
____69____ Before hitting ―Send,‖ check your subject line. If it’s generic or blank, your
message will get lost in your recipient’s overstuffed inbox. Are you asking someone to take action?
Highlight that in the subject line. Make your request easy to find — and fulfill.
Copy people judiciously. Include only those who will immediately grasp why they’re on the
thread; don’t automatically click on ―Reply All.‖ Your correspondent may have been over
inclusive with the ―Copy‖ list, and if you repeat that mistake, you’ll continue to annoy the
recipients who shouldn’t be there. ____70____


Summary Writing(共10分)
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)
of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

Tired of all the pushing in supermarkets? Fed up with waiting in endless lines to pay for what
you have bought? Angry at wasting time in traffic jams only to find no parking spaces when you
eventually arrive at the store? If this is you, then online shopping is the answer to your dreams of
trouble-free shopping.
Online shopping brings its own challenges. Here are a few things to bear in mind when
browsing various websites. The claim made by online sites is that shopping online is a safe and
secure way to make purchases. The evidence challenges this. In any case, you only have to be the
victim of fraud (欺骗) once to experience all the problems that come with this form of stealing.
Use only sites that have a trusted history and an excellent reputation.
Another problem is that the appearance of items in reality is often quite different from what
you see on your computer screen. This might not be a problem if you are buying washing up
powder but could be a major disappointment when that beautiful blue dress you ordered turns up
in green. Also, product descriptions are sometimes simply untrue! Perhaps the wisest plan is to
purchase items whose design and color are not essential to customer satisfaction.
Some even argue that online shopping indirectly contributes to global warming. Yes, your car
can stay parked but how are online goods delivered? Often by some large van pouring out carbon
monoxide and adding to our already desperate traffic problems. You are also by now becoming
increasingly irritated(使烦恼) by the fact that the delivery is late !

1.【答案】The more people have in common, the better they will get along with each other.
2.【答案】University graduates without any practical experience are not likely to find a well-paid
job.
3.【答案】Not until he was sent to the operation room did he understand the importance of
observing the traffic rules .
4.【答案】The reports on the websites have caused the public concern about the disadvantaged, but
what really matters is how to prevent such tragedies (as this) from happening again.
Switch on the computer, get on the Internet, find baidu—a powerful search engine, type into
the home assignment and finally it’s done. That’s what most ordinary students probably do and the
number is increasing greatly every day, which definitely worries many teachers and parents.
However, as far as I am concerned, there should be a fine line between searching for information
needed in homework and searching for information to excuse for laziness.
First and foremost, never will a student truly improve his scope of knowledge, cultivate his
problem- solving ability and then gain self-satisfaction and self-confidence in this way. Homework
is intended to check whether a student has grasped certain knowledge, but with the rapid
development of science and technology, a vast majority of students have turned to computers to
save their time and energy on homework, which will definitely hold back the students’ self- testing
and do great harm to students themselves and their teachers.
On top of that, this kind of action will prevent teachers from having a good command of
students’ learning progress. For example, if a student gets straight As in almost all learning
sections, then on no account will a teacher think the student will fail in the exam. But what if he
does? Is the teacher to blame?
Therefore, it is this sort of behavior that stops students from learning themselves and keeps
teachers from learning their students. If this trend is reversed, it will be a win-win strategy for both
students and teachers.
