Section B

Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. approval B. invaders C. addressed D. serving E. impact F. response G. influential H. rescued I. mixed J. potential K. engaged The German Chancellor, Angela Merkel has been named TIME’s 2015 Person of the Year. She’s led Germany since 2005 and is __41__ her third time. “TIME” has named a person of a year since 1927. The recipient is someone or some group that for better or worse is considered to have had a major __42__ on world events. It is decided by the editors of the __43__ magazine. Last year the title went to Ebola fighters and the year before that, Pope Francis.

TIME Magazine gave a number of reasons why it chose Merkel, from how she’s handled Europe's economic crisis, to how she’s responded to terrorist attacks in the region, to how she’s __44__ the continent's ongoing refugee crisis. Her high __45__ rating in Germany has slipped recently because many Germans don’t agree with her __46__ to that crisis. So, the reaction in her home country was __47__.

Nancy Gibbs, the editor of TIME wrote that the Chancellor was awarded the title for “asking more of her country than most politicians would dare, for standing firm against tyranny.”

She also praised Merkel, the first woman to be named the title for 29 years, for her leadership during the refugee crisis. “At a moment when much of the world is once more __48__ in a debate about the balance between safety and freedom, the Chancellor is asking a great deal of the German people, and by their example, the rest of us as well. She views refugees as victims to be __49__ rather than __50__ to be repelled...”

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.

A child’s place in the family birth order may play a role in the type of occupations that will interest him or her as an adult, new research suggests. In two related studies, researchers found that only children were more interested in intellectual, cognitive careers than later-born children. __51__, later-born children were more interested in both artistic and outdoor-related careers.

“For example, parents may be extremely __52__ of only children and worry about their physical safety. That may be why only children are more likely to show interest in academic __53__ rather than physical or outdoor activities. An only child will tend to get more time and attention from their parents than children with siblings（兄弟姐妹）. This will often make them feel special but the downside is that they may suffer from __54__ and loneliness when friends discuss their brothers and sisters and family life.”

The first-born is an only child until the second child comes along – __55__ them from being the centre of attention, to then sharing the care of parents. Parents will also expect them to be responsible and “set an example”. The change from being the focus of a family may be quite a __56__ and so shape the first-born’s outlook on life. Therefore, first-borns may try to get back their parents’ attention and approval by achieving success in their career. It is true that first-borns are __57__ more often found as political leaders than any other birth-order position.

Being the youngest in the family can sometimes be a(n) __58__ experience, especially if the child wants to be taken seriously. The last-born is more likely than the other birth-order positions to take up dangerous sports. This may be a __59__ of the last-born’s rebellious characteristic – a result of being __60__ up with always being bossed about by everyone else in the family.

Middle children, __61__, have different issues. “Middle –child syndrome” can mean feeling __62__ between two other “more important” people – an older sibling who gets all the rights and is treated like an adult and a younger sibling who gets all the __63__ and is treated like a spoilt child. Middle-borns have to learn to get on with older and younger children, and this may __64__ them becoming good negotiators – of all the birth-order positions they are most skillful at dealing with both authority figures and those holding __65__ positions.

(A)

Hell for most of us, yes, but all in a day’s work for Charlotte Uhlenbroek. She moves as elegantly through the hall of London’s Savoy as she does through the Amazon jungle. But while she loves the adventure, she is also glad to be back in “civilization”, at least for the moment.

She’s just finished filming a TV series called jungle – a demanding 19-week job that involved her exploring the dense jungles of the Congo, the Amazon and Borneo. She says that it was fascinating, but daunting as well. So what was her most challenging experience? “Definitely climbing an 80-meter-high tree in Borneo, when I’m scared of heights! I had to keep going up and up, when a voice inside me was saying, “Down! Down!” I kept thinking the ropes were going to break and send me plummeting down below.”

And “down below” was where the bugs were. Apart from the usual mosquitoes, in the Amazon rainforest she was troubled by sand-fly bites. “I’ve had some horrible bites but these really are the itchiest（最痒的）bites I’ve ever had. At one stage, I

7

counted 70 bites on one arm,” she says. “Just as annoying were the sweat bees in the Congo. They try to drink the sweat on your face and even the tears from your eyes. The most horrible thing, though, was trying to pull the slimy leeches（水蛭）off your skin. The more I pulled, the more they stretched and the tighter their jaws clung to my leg. I kept shouting, “Get them off!” and the film crew kept saying, “Just a minute … this makes a really good shot!”

Charlotte’s journey into the heart of the world’s most significant rainforests was an inspiring experience. “The rainforest really is like a city. Each tree is like an urban highrise building with hundreds of residents. If you knock it down, you cause just as much disturbance and damage as if those residents were human. The jungle is extraordinary because although it only covers about 6 percent of the world, it contains over 50 percent of all known animal and plant species, plus lots more that are unknown, too.”

Back in London, what has she been enjoying since her return to “civilization”? “I’ve been having lots of nice, long showers,” she says. “In the Congo, the possibility of using up our water supplies was always a worrying thought. And I find that when I’ve been in hot, uncomfortable conditions for a while, the things I look forward to more than anything else are being with my family and enjoying my favorite meal.” 66. The underlined word “daunting” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.

A. frightening C. encouraging

B. exciting D. satisfying B. sand flies D. leeches

67. When bitten by ______, a person will feel unbearably itchy.

A. usual mosquitoes C. sweat bees

68. A tree in the rainforest is compared to a highrise building because ______.

A. many people come to explore the jungle B. the trees are 80 metres high on average C. many trees have been knocked down D. there are so many living things in it 69. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. The film crew gave Charlotte a shot to prevent infection. B. Charlotte looks and feels “out of place” in the Savoy Hotel. C. Water supply was always a big concern for Charlotte in the jungle. D. The jungle contains half of all the animal and plant species in the world.

72. Which of the following statement is TRUE?

Adding math talk to story time at home is a winning equation for children's math achievement, according to a new research from the University of Chicago. The study from psychologists Sian Beilock and Susan Levine shows a marked increase in math achievement among children whose families used Bedtime Math, an iPad app that delivers engaging math story problems for parents and children to solve together.

Even children who used the app with their parents as little as once a week saw gains in math achievement by the end of the school year. The app's effect was especially strong for children whose parents tend to be anxious or uncomfortable with math.

Previous research from this group has demonstrated the importance of adults’ attitudes about math for children's math success. For example, a recent study found that math-anxious parents who help their children with math homework actually weaken their children’s math achievement.

10

The new findings demonstrate that structured, positive interactions around math

at home can cut the link between parents’ uneasiness about math and children's low math achievement.

“Many Americans experience high levels of anxiety when they have to solve a math problem, with a majority of adults feeling at least some worries about math,” said Beilock, professor in Psychology and author of Choke, a book about stress and performance. “These math-anxious parents are probably less likely to talk about math at home, which affects how competent their children are in math. Bedtime Math encourages a dialogue between parents and kids about math, and offers a way to engage in high-quality math interactions in a low-effort, high-impact way.”

Study participants included 587 first-grade students and their parents. Families were given an iPad installed with a version of the Bedtime Math app, with which parents and their children read stories and answer questions involving math, including topics like counting, shapes and problem-solving. A control group received a reading app that had similar stories without the math content and questions related to reading comprehension instead. Children's math achievement was assessed at the beginning and end of the school year. Parents completed a questionnaire about their nervousness with math.

The more times parents and children in the math group used the app, the higher children’s achievement on a math assessment at the end of the school year. Indeed, children who frequently used the math app with their parents outperformed similar students in the reading group by almost three months in math achievement at year's end.

74. Bedtime Math is an iPad app that _____.

A. requires parents and children to answer reading comprehension questions B. assesses children’s math achievement and parents’ nervousness with math C. teaches children how to count, recognize shapes and solve practical problems D. encourages children together with their parents to solve math story problems A. help from math-anxious parents improves children’s math achievement B. children’ math achievement is related to parents’ attitude about math C. interactions around math at home will cut off the family relationship D. children can achieve more success if they see the importance of math

75. The previous study found that _____.

76. We can infer from the passage that ______.

11

A. children using app for three months can see gains in math achievement B. children whose parents are uneasy about math outperform other students C. it is the math problems related to the stories that make the great difference D. the frequency of using the app has nothing to do with children’s achievement A. High-quality math interactions improve performance. B. Frequent use of app can develop problem solving ability. C. Low-effort activities create good parent-child relationship. D. High-anxiety parents influence children’s attitude about math.

77. Which is the best title for the passage?

Section C

Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.

Most people make a donation if they want to help those in need. And they hope

that if they join demonstrations or hand out leaflets, they’ll make others aware of the terrible conditions some people face. But 47-year-old British comedian, Eddie Izzard, did something completely different. He decided to raise money by running 1,100 miles through England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland. And he managed to raise more than ￡200,000!

How long did it take him to run 1,100 miles? Believe it or not, it took him just 51 days. For six days out of every seven he ran at least 26 miles . In other words, he ran 43 marathons in less than two months, before he finished in great style and pouring rain in London’s Trafalgar Square!

When asked how he felt, he told the BBC that he was planning to “sleep for a week”. He thanked the people who had waited for him in Trafalgar Square despite the rain. They had all come to support him and to applaud his incredible achievement.

And the comedian admitted that his journey was pretty painful. He had to have his feet bandaged every day but still lost several of his toenails, and he had blisters （水泡）all over his feet. He wouldn’t have been able to do what he did if he hadn’t taken ice baths for his legs at the end of each day. These baths helped to “stop your legs inflating to twice the size of an elephant”, as Eddie commented.

People who have no idea about running and experts alike are impressed with what he has achieved. Andy Dixon, editor of Runner’s World, a magazine for long-distance runners, says, “Covering 26 miles in a day at whatever speed for 43 runs, it’s demanding. A five-hour marathon is fairly decent pace. It’s a massive achievement.

So, how did he do it? Well, when he decided to run, he wasn’t even particularly

12

fit. He ran his marathons slowly at first. Ten hours a day to begin with and, as he got fitter, he got faster. In the end he was finishing in just over five hours. But fitness alone was not enough. What was more important was the fact that he wanted to make a difference to other people’s lives.

What Eddie Izzard did was so special that the documentary of his run has been made into an inspiring film: Believe! “You’ve got to believe you can be something else,” Eddie says in the film. “I’ve done that a few times. That’s why I keep going.” (Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN THIRTEEN WORDS)

78. How do most people help those in need?

_________________________________________________________________ 79. What did people do to support Eddie?

_________________________________________________________________ 80. What measures did Eddie take to ensure his marathons every day?

_________________________________________________________________ 81. Apart from getting fitter and raising money, Eddie’s run was intended _______________________________________________.
