Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: Read the following two passages. Fill in th
14、e blanks to make the passage coherent. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word. For the other blanks, fill in each blank with one proper word. Make sure that your answers are grammatically correct. (A)Accidents happen almost everywhere every day. S
15、ome accidents are not serious and some really are. We read about such accidents nearly every day in the newspapers. And people usually think that accidents take place only on the roads or highways until they (25) _ come across accidents in their homes or even at work places. As a matter of fact, hom
16、e accidents are just as common as those we see and hear on the roads, some of (26) _ cause even much more serious consequences. Because very few home accidents are reported, people come to think that there are few accidents that happen in homes.There (27) _ (be) many serious cases where people fall
17、to their deaths from high-rise flats so far. In most cases, children and women often fall over while (28) _ (step) down the stairs. Old people may slip on wet floors, getting badly hurt or even killed, if they are not careful.Nowadays there are a lot of modern electrical appliances at home (29) _ _
18、rice cookers, micro waves and washing machines, which make life easy for the modern housewives. These appliances can kill people (30) _ they are used in the proper way. Gas stoves used for cooking are also dangerous if they are not properly used. They may cause burns or, in more serious cases, even
19、fires.But all such accidents (31) _ be stopped if we are careful and follow simple rules of safety. For example, it is unwise for people to try repairing their own electrical appliances if they do not know how to repair them. Therefore, it is safer and more reliable (32) _ people get them repaired b
20、y an electrician.(B)A study of English learning problems was carried out among a total of 106 foreign students. It shows that nearly all these students considered (33) _ (understand) spoken English, especially in the first few weeks, to be their biggest problem on arrival. This was followed by speak
21、ing or communicating. Writing then increased as a big problem as students discovered difficulties in writing papers that they (34) _ (expect) to hand in. And at the same time, reading remained as a significant problem.The information (35) _ (gain) helped us in determining where special attention sho
22、uld be paid to in our course. Although many students have chosen to join the course with a reasonable motivation, we considered it important to note (36) _ seemed to encourage interest. Nearly all the students have experienced some kind of grammar-based English teaching or teacher-centered English l
23、earning in their own country. It would be self-defeating (37) _ (use) the same method, especially if it has failed in the past or it is too complicated to follow or imitate, (38) _ it might reduce motivation and interest. Therefore a different method may help because it is different.(39) _ variety o
24、f activities was also regarded as a way of maintaining or increasing motivation and interest. Several years ago we had the first timetable that operated throughout the course of English learning, but we soon found that both the students and the teachers lost interest by about half-way through the te
25、n weeks. This led us to a major re-think, and we had to explore a much (40) _ (effective) way of English learning, so finally we brought it into line with the expressed language needs of the students.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can onl
26、y be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. wandered B. applications C. intellectual D. occurred E extraordinaryF. objectives G. relatively H. release I. threatening J. accomplished K. completelyJohn Nash, a Nobel Prize winner and mathematical genius whose struggle with mental
27、 illness was documented in the Oscar-winning film “A Beautiful Mind”, was killed in a car accident on Saturday. He was 86. The accident _41_ when the taxi Nash was traveling in ran into another car on the New Jersey Turnpike. Neither of the two drivers involved in the accident underwent life-_42_ in
28、juries.At Princeton, Nash published a 27-page essay about the field of game theory, which led to _43_ in economics, international politics, and evolutionary biology. His signature solution found that competition among two opponents is not necessarily governed by zero-sum logic. Two opponents can, fo
29、r instance, each achieve their maximum _44_ through cooperating with the other, or gain nothing at all by refusing to cooperate. This simple understanding is now regarded as one of the most important social science ideas in the 20th century, and a proof to his almost unique _45_ gifts.But in the lat
30、e 1950s, Nash began a slide into mental illness and each therapy failed to cure him, and for much of the next three decades, Nash _46_ freely on the Princeton campus, scratching his hands on empty blackboards and staring blankly ahead in the library. Robert Wright remembers Nash as “some math genius
31、 that went crazy” who wore colorful shoes and quietly watched people. His mental illness removed him _47_ from his work. By the time Nash was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1994, he hadnt published a paper in 36 years.But like a child cured of a terrible dream by the switch of a light, Nash
32、 recovered from his illness seemingly by choosing not to be sick anymore. Five years later, the _48_ of the film “A Beautiful Mind”, based on Sylvia Nasars 1998 book of the same name, expanded Nashs _49_ life story to an international audience. He continued to work, travel, and speak at conferences
33、for the rest of his life.Its tempting to wonder what Nash might have _50_, had mental illness not robbed him of so many productive years. “Because the ideas I had about super natural beings came to me the same way that my mathematical ideas did,” said Nash. “So I took them seriously.”III. Reading Co
34、mprehensionSection ADirections: 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.Why girls do better at school than boys?For centuries, boys were top of the class. But these days, thats
35、 no longer the case.A new study by the OECD, a club of mostly _51_ countries in Europe and North America, examined how 15-year-old boys and girls performed at reading, mathematics and science. Boys still get somewhat better _52_ at maths and physics, and in other science courses the genders are roug
36、hly _53_. But when it comes to the students who really struggle and suffer at school, the difference is _54_: boys are 50% more likely than girls to fall short of basic standards in all three areas._55_, why are girls performing better at school than their male classmates?First, girls read more than
37、 boys. Reading proficiency (熟练) is the basis upon which all other learning is built. When boys dont do well in reading, their _56_ in other school subjects suffers too.Second, girls spend much more time on their homework and out-of-class learning. _57_, girls spend five and a half hours per week doi
38、ng homework while boys spend a little less than four and a half hours. Researchers suggest that doing homework _58_ by teachers is linked to better accomplishment in maths, reading and science. Boys, it appears, spend more of their free time in the _59_ world; they are 17% more likely to play cooper
39、ative online games than girls every day. They also use the internet more.Third, peer _60_ plays a role. A lot of boys decide early on that they are just too cool for school. They adopt a so-called concept of masculinity (男子气概) that includes a disregard for _61_, which means theyre more likely to be
40、rude and noisy in class. Teachers mark them down for this. In anonymous (匿名的) tests, boys perform better. In fact, the gender gap in reading _62_ by a third when teachers dont know the gender of the pupil they are marking.So what can be done to close this gap? Getting boys to do more homework and cu
41、t down on screen-time would help. And offering boys a _63_ to read non-fiction would help too: theyre keener on comics and newspapers. But most of all, abandoning gender stereotypes (旧模式) would _64_ all students. Thus, boys in all countries with the best schools read much better than girls. As we kn
42、ow, girls in Shanghai, Singapore and Seoul are good at mathematics, and they _65_ boys from anywhere else in the world.51. A. backwardB. wealthyC. regularD. miserable52.

45、assage 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)In job interviews, were often asked about our strengths and weaknesses
46、. And, as a matter of fact, most of us know automatically how to respond. Common wisdom tells us to use faux weaknesses, which means things that are strengths described as negatives and turned into positives. You might even be able to change your weakness into a skill for a job youre not fully quali
47、fied for.In America, in a championship game you are unlikely to see athletes showing weakness. If the athletes become hurt in this game, they will hide their injuries they dont want their competitors to know their weak spots. But there is absolutely no need for us to act like this in business affairs.At work and in business, you can have shortc
