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. benefits AC. identifying B. necessarily AD. exposure C. findings BC. approved D. grateful BD. analysis AB. frequently CD. related A new study found that inner-city kids living in neighborhoods with more green space gained about 13% less weight over a two-year period than kids living among more concrete and fewer trees. Such 41 tell a powerful story. The obesity epidemic (肥胖病) began in the 1980s, and many people hold the view that the improper diet and lack of activity contribute to the disease, but that can’t be everything. Fast foods and TVs have been with us for a long time. ―Most experts agree that the changes were 42 to something in the environment,‖ says social epidemiologist Thomas Glass of The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. That something could be a shrinking of the green. The new research, published in the American Journal of Preventive medicine, isn’t the first to associate greenery with better health, but it does get us closer to 43 what works and why. It’s clear that a green neighborhood means more places for kids to play—which is vital since time spent outdoors is one of the strongest connection of children’s activity levels. But green space is good for the mind too: research by environmental psychologists has shown that it has mental 44 for children with attention-deficit disorder (注意力缺乏症). In one study, just reading outside in a green setting improved kids’ symptoms. The study indicates that 45 to grassy areas has also been linked to less stress and a lower body mass index (体重指数) among adults. And an 46 of 3,000 Tokyo residents associated green spaces with greater long life among senior citizens. However, Thomas Glass points out that most studies don’t 47 prove a causal link between greenness and health, but they’re helping stimulate action. In September the U.S. House of Representatives 48 a proposal, the delightfully named No Child Left Inside Act to encourage public projects aimed at exposing kids to the outdoors. Finding green space is not always easy, and you may have to work a bit to get your family a little grass and trees. If you live in the countryside or a city with good parks, take advantage of what’s there. Your children in particular will love it—and their bodies and minds will be 49 to you.

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.

From childhood to old age, we all use language as a means of broadening our knowledge of ourselves and the world about us. When humans first 50 , they were like newborn children, unable to use this 51 tool. Yet once language developed, the possibilities for human kind’s future achievements and cultural growth increased.

Many language experts believe that evolution is 52 for our ability to produce and use language. They 53 that our highly evolved brain provides us with an innate (inborn:天生的) language ability not found in lower organisms (生物，有机体). Those who support this innateness theory say that our 54 for language is inborn, but that language develops

gradually, as a function of the growth of the brain during childhood. Therefore there are critical 55 time for language development.

Current 56 of innateness theory are mixed; however, evidence supporting the existence of some innate abilities can not be denied. 57 , more and more schools (流派) are discovering that foreign languages are best taught in 58 grades. Young children often can learn several languages by being 59 to them, while adults have a much harder time learning another language once the 60 of their first language have become firmly fixed.

61 some aspects of language are innate, language does not develop automatically of itself. Children who have been 62 from other human beings do not possess language. This demonstrates that interaction or communication with other human beings is necessary for proper language development. Some language experts believe that this is even more basic to human language acquisition (习得) than any innate abilities. These theorists view language as imitative, learned behavior. 63 , children learn language from their parents by imitating them. Parents gradually shape their child's language skills by giving 64 feedback to precise imitations and negative feedback to imprecise ones. 50. A. produced B. evolved 51. A. valuable B. appropriate 52. A. permanent B. available 53. A. assure B. inform 54. A. potential B. performance 55. A. personal B. biological 56. A. reviews B. reference 57. A. In a word B. In a sense 58. A. various B. different 59. A. revealed B. exposed 60. A. requirements B. formations 61. A. Although B. Whether 62. A. distinguished B. different 63. A. As a result B. After all 64. A. inspiring B. positive

C. born D. originated C. convenient D. favorite C. reliable D. responsible C. claim D. convince C. preference D. passion C. social D. psychological C. reaction D. recommendation C. In fact D. In other words C. the higher D. the lower C. engaged D. involved C. rules D. construction C. Since D. When C. protected D. isolated C. In other words D. Above all C. satisfying D. exact

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

A new study of 8,000 young people in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily and happily, it is a bad thing for young people. Puppy love（早恋）may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression. The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys, and younger girls are the worst of all.

The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is ―loss of self‖. According to the study，even though boys would say ―lose themselves in a romantic relationship‖, this ―loss of self‖ is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions. They won’t tell that to their parents.

Dr Marianm Kaufman，an expert on young people problems, says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression. She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up, it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends，attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.

Parents should watch for signs of depression—eating or mood changes—and if they see signs from their daughters or sons, they need to give help. The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age．Love will always make us feel young，but only maturity gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects. 65. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. Puppy love may bring young people depression. B. Parents should forbid their children’s love. C. Romance is a two-edged sword for adults. D. Romance is good for young people.

66. Which of the following is more likely to have depression? A. Young people who have a strong sense of selfishness. B. Young boys whose parents watch for their behavior. C. Young girls who always hide their feelings and opinions. D. Careless parents whose children are deep in love. 67. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly. B. Early love makes young people keep close to their friends and parents. C. Parents should help their children to be aware of the signs of depression. D. The older a woman is, the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance. 68. What’s the author’s attitude towards puppy love? A. Confused B. Disapproving C. Uninterested D. Scared

C

Group buying is one of the fastest growing trends in South Africa today. Industry leaders are confident the growth potential remains strong since group buying is location-specific(区域性的). Start-up costs are low and profit room remains high, so many sites continue to receive invested money despite widespread criticism and Facebook’s decision to phase out of the deals business due to privacy concerns.

In the early stages of all industries, some companies fail because they cannot compete with stronger companies in difficult economic conditions. To deal with difficult conditions, an alarming number of businesses are developing group buying websites in places like China and India, so the increase of group buying in South Africa is nothing more than a natural progression into the

international mainstream.

The group buying concept is fairly new and consumers have accepted this concept because they can now make full use of the rich information available on the Internet. Group buying is convenient and easy so it works. Anyone can view a site, join a mailing list, subscribe to RSS or print out a coupon(优惠券). The current group buying structure offered by the industry leaders works although there are still challenges to overcome.

Perhaps, the future of group buying is tied to the joining together of social media and mobile devices. Mobile devices are with us wherever we go and almost everyone is using some type of social media site like Facebook or Twitter to stay informed. Using GPS and social media technology to provide real time location-specific promotions would be beneficial to every consumer looking for the best deals in town.

Pause for a moment and think about it! What is better than signing on to your phone while having fun in town and you receive a real time information that your favorite shop across the street is offering a killer deal？

The future of the group buying in South Africa is bright and we can expect to see more advanced approaches to this concept in the future. In addition to the technological advances consumers will see the range of promotions expand to include new products and services. 72. What does the underlined phrase ―phase out of” mean in the passage? A. Gradually stop. B. Gradually increase. C. Begin to develop. D. Continue to enlarge.

73. The author sets China and India as examples to show that _________. A. China and India are powerful countries

B. China and India are in difficult economic conditions C. group buying is successful worldwide D. group buying is an international trend

74. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. People have accepted group buying because it’s a new concept.

B. Social media and mobile devices have been joined together for group buying. C. GPS and social media technology will be helpful in group buying. D. Shops usually offer a killer deal when their customers are having fun. 75. The author’s attitude towards the future of group buying is __________.

A. pessimistic B. optimistic C. objective D. subjective Section C

Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which is not needed. A. A careful analysis biologically B. What is global warming? C. Solution to the terrifying result D. Greater danger of extinction E. Many shocking things were found. F. A shocking report

76.

The earth is getting warmer. People burn coal, oil and gas and this produces carbon dioxide,

methane and nitrous oxide. These gases, called ―greenhouse gases‖, prevent the heat of the sun from leaving the earth’s upper atmosphere and this makes the earth warmer.

77.

A few weeks ago a group of scientists produced a report about global warming and the natural world. They wanted to find out if global warming was dangerous for plants and animals. According to what they found, the scientists say that during the next 50 years about 25% of land animals and plants will become extinct. More than a million plant and animal species will be extinct by 2050.

78. More than 10% of all plants and animals will become extinct. It is too late to save many plants and animals because of the greenhouse gases that are already in the atmosphere. But the scientists say if we control greenhouse gases now, we could save many more plants and animals from extinction.

79.

The scientists studied some regions of the world with a very rich biology. These regions were Europe, Australia, Central and South America, and South Africa. Their studies showed that species living in mountainous areas had a better chance of survival because they could move uphill, to get cooler. In flat areas, such as deserts, plants and animals would have to move a very long distance to get cooler, so they are in greater danger of extinction.

80.

The scientists found that half of the 24 species of butterflies they studied in Australia would soon become extinct. 60% of the species in the Kruger National Park in South Africa would also die out, and more than 100% of the 300 South Africa plant species they studied would also become extinct. One of the plants in danger of extinction is the national flower of South Africa, the King Protea. They studied 163 tree species in the Cerrado region of Brazil and found that 70 would become extinct. Many of the plants and trees that live in this region live nowhere else in the world. In Mexico, they studied 1,870 species and found that more than 30% of these were in danger of extinction. Section D

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

Job sharing refers to the situation in which two people divide the responsibility of one full time job. The two people willingly act as part-time workers, enough hours between them to fulfill the duties of a full-time worker. If they each work half the job, for example, they each receive 50 percent of the job's wages, its holidays and its other benefits.

Job sharing differs from conventional part-time work in that it occurs mainly in the more highly skilled and professional areas, which require higher levels of responsibility and employee commitment.

Job sharing should not be confused with the term work sharing, which refers to increasing the number of jobs by reducing the number of hours of each existing job, thus offering more positions

to the growing number of unemployed people. Job sharing, by contrast, is not designed to deal with unemployment problems; its focus, rather, is to provide well-paid work for skilled workers and professionals who want more free time for other activities.

As would be expected, most job sharers are women. A survey carried out in 2010 by Britain’s Equal Opportunities Commission showed that 78 per cent of sharers were female, the majority of whom were, between 20 and 40 years of age. Subsequent studies have come up with similar results. Many of these women were reentering the job market after having had children, but they chose not to seek part – time work because it would have meant lower status. Job sharing also offered an acceptable shift back into full – time work after a long absence.

The necessity of close cooperation when sharing a job with another person makes the actual work quite different from conventional one-position jobs. However, to ensure a greater chance that the partnership will succeed, each person needs to know the strengths, weaknesses and preferences of his or her partner before applying for a position. Moreover, there must be a fair division of both routine tasks and interesting ones. In sum, for a position to be job-shared well, the two individuals must be well matched and must treat each other as equals.

(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)
