Part III. Cloze Test ( 10minutes, 10 points, 1 point each)
Tall people earn considerably more money throughout their lives than their shorter co-workers, with each inch adding about US$789 a year in pay, according to a new study. “Height 41 career success,” says Timothy Judge, a University of Florida professor of management, who led the study. “These findings are troubling since, with a few 42 , such as professional basketball, no one could argue that height is something essential required for job 43 ,” Judge points out.
Judge analyzed results of four large-scale studies in the US and Britain that followed thousands of people from childhood to adulthood, examining details of their work and personal lives. “If you take this 44 the course of a 30-year career, we’re talking about literally hundreds of thousands of dollars of earnings 45 that a tall person enjoys,” Judge said.
Greater height boosted both subjective ratings of work performance---- a supervisor’s 46 of how effective someone is ---and 47 measures of performance---such as sales volume. Being tall may boost self-confidence, improving performance. Other people may also give higher 48 and greater respect to a tall person, giving them an edge in negotiating states, he says.
The commanding influence of height may be a remainder of our evolutionary 49 . Maybe from a time when humans lived among animals and size was 50 power and strength used when making “fight or run” decisions.

Part IV Reading Comprehension (45minutes, 30 points, 1 point each) Passage One
At the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), a student loaded his class notes into a handheld e-mail device and tried to read them during an exam: a classmate turned him in. At the University of Nevada at Las Vegas (UNLV) students photographed test questions with their cellphone cameras and transmitted them to classmates. The University put in place a new examination-supervision system. “If they’d spend as much time studying, they’d all be A students,” says Ron Yatbin, dean of the College of Sciences of UNLV.
With a variety of electronic devices, American students find it easier to cheat. And college officials find themselves in a new game of cat and mouse. They are trying to fight would-be cheats in the exam season by cutting off Internet access from laptops (笔记本电脑), demanding the surrender of
cellphones before tests or simply requiring that exams be taken with pens and paper.
“It is annoying. My hand-writing is so bad,” said Ryan Dapremont, 21 who just finished his third year at Pepperdine University in California. He had to take his exams on paper. Dapremont said technology has made cheating easier, but plagiarism (剽窃)in writing papers was probably the biggest problem. Students can lift other people’s writings off the Internet without attributing them. Still, some students said they thought cheating these days was more a product of the mindset, not the tools at hand. “Some people put too much emphasis on where they’re going to go in the future, and all they’re thinking about is graduate school and the next step,” said Lindsay Nicholas, a third-year student at UCLA. She added that pressure to succeed “sometimes clouds everything and makes people do things that they shouldn’t do.”
Some professors said they tried to write exams for which it was hard to cheat, posing questions that outside resources would not help answer. Many officials said that they rely on campus honor codes. They said the most important thing was to teach students not to cheat in the first place. 51. One student at UCLA was found cheating ____
A when he was loading his class notes into a handheld e-mail device. B when he was trying to tell the answers to his classmates.
C after the university put in place a new examination-supervision system. D after his classmate reported his cheating to the authority. 52. According to Ron Yatbin, all the cheating students____ A should be severely punished for their dishonesty. B didn’t have much time to study before the exam.
C could get the highest grades if they had studied hard enough.
D could be excused because they were not familiar with the new system.
53. To win the new game of cat and mouse in examinations, the college officials have to ____ A use many high-tech devices B cut off Internet access on campus
C turn to the oral examination forms D cut off the use of high-tech devices 54. According to Ryan Dapremont, _____
A examinations taken with pens and paper were useless in fighting cheating. B his examination paper was under-graded because of his bad hand-writing. C cheating was more serious in writing papers than in examination.
D it was more difficult for him to life other people’s writings off the Internet
55. Which of the following is probably the most significant measure to fight cheating? A Putting less emphasis on where the students are going to go in the future. B Letting students know that honesty is more important. C Writing examinations for which it is hard to cheat. D Setting up more strict campus honor codes. 56. The best title of the passage might be ____
A Cheating Has Gone High-tech B Game of Cat and Mouse
C A New Examination-Supervision System D Measures to Fight Against Dishonesty Passage Two
Top marathon runners tend to be lean and light, star swimmers are long thighs with huge feet and gold weightlifters are solid blocks of muscle with short arms and legs. So, does your physical shape---and the way your body works---fit you for a particular sport? Or does your body develop a certain way because of your chosen sport?
“It’s about 55:45, genes to the environment,” says Mike Rennie, professor of clinical physiology at Britain’s University of Nottingham Medical School. Rennie cites the case of identical twins from
Germany, one of whom was a long-distance athlete, the other a powerful sportsman, so, “They look quite different, despite being identical twins.”
Someone who’s 1.5-meters tall has little chance of becoming an elite basketball player. Still, being over two meters tall won’t automatically push you to Olympic gold. “Unless you have tactical sense where needed, unless you have access to good equipment, medical care and the psychological conditions, and unless you are able to drive yourself through pain, all the physical strength will be in vain,” said Craig Sharp, professor of sports science at Britain’s Brunel University.
Jonathan Robinson, an applied sports scientist at the University of Bath’s sports development, in southwest England, points to the importance of technique. “In swimming only 5-10 percent of the propelling force comes from the legs, so technique is vital.”
Having the right physique for the right sport is a good starting point. Seventeen years ago, the Australian Institute of Sport started a national Talent Search Program, which searched schools for 14-16-year-olds with the potential to be elite athletes. One of their first finds was Megan Still, world champion rower. In 1987, Still had never picked up an oar in her life. But she had almost the perfect physique for a rower. After intensive training, she won gold in women’s rowing in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.
Other countries have followed the Australian example. Now the explosion of genetic knowledge has meant that there is now a search, not just for appropriate physique but also for “performance genes.”
57. It can be concluded from the passage that ____
A physical strength is more important for sportspersons’ success. B training conditions are more important for sportspersons’ success. C genes are more important for sportspersons’ success.
D psychological conditions are more important for sportspersons’ success. 58. The case of identical twins from Germany shows that ____ A environment can help determine people’s body shape. B genes are the decisive factors for people’s body shape. C identical twins are likely to enjoy different sports.
D identical twins may have different genes for different sports.
59. Which of the following is NOT mentioned by Graig Sharp as a required quality for a sportsperson to win an Olympic gold medal?
A The physical strength B The right training conditions C The talent for the sports D The endurance for pains.
60. Seventeen years ago Megan Still was chosen for rowing because ___ A she had the talent for rowing B her body shape was right for a rower C she had the performance genes D she was a skillful rower 61. The word “elite” in Paragraph 5 means “_________’
A the most wealthy B the most skilled C the most industrious D the most intelligent 62. The elite athletes of the future may come from people who naturally possess _____ A the best body shapes and an iron purpose.
B the extremes of the right physique and strong wills. C the right psychological conditions and sports talents. D the right physique and genes for sports Passage Three
For years, a network of citizens’ groups and scientific bodies has been claiming that science of global warming is inconclusive. But who funded them?
