Task 1
Reading Comprehension (40 points)
Linkup ,the APP Research and Development Company, has announced it will give
more than twenty-five million dollars in money and investments to help the poor.
The company says the effort involves using the power of information and technology
to help people improve their lives.
James Lee works for Linkup.org—— the part of the company that gives money
to good causes. He said the company’s first project will help identify where
infectious (传染性的) diseases are developing. In Southeast Asia and Africa, for
example, Google.org will work with partners to strengthen early-warning systems and
take action against growing health threats.
Linkup.org’s second project will invest in ways to help small and medium-sized
businesses grow. James Lee says microfinance ( 小 额 信 贷 ) is generally small,
short-term loans that create few jobs. Instead, he says Google.org wants to develop
ways to bring investors and business owners together to create jobs and improve
economic growth.
..
.
Linkup.org will also give money to help two climate-change programs announced
earlier this year. One of these programs studies ways to make renewable (再生的)
energy less costly than coal-based energy. The other is examining the efforts being
made to increase the use of electric cars.
The owners of Linkup have promised to give Linkup.org about one percent of
company profits and one percent of its total stock value every year. James Lee says
this amount may increase in the future.
21. The purpose of Linkup’s investments is to ________.
A) develop new technology

22. According to James Lee, the company’s first project is to ________.
A) discover where infectious diseases develop
B) establish a new system to warn people of infectious diseases
C) find out the cause of infectious diseases
D) cure patients of infectious diseases
23. What kind of businesses will benefit from Linkup. org’s second project? _________
A) Foreign-funded corporations

help _______.

B) do some research programs
C) produce more advanced electric cars

Task 2
If you think 3D printing is only good for making delicate paperweights(压纸
器), then you’re pretty much right. However, a group of Dutch architects have already
begun 3D printing an entire canal house in Amsterdam. Is the first 3D printed house
a gimmick(喙头)?Definitely! Is it an experiment that pushes the possibilities for
3D printing technology and architecture? Maybe!
3D Print Canal House is the brainchild of DUS Architects. “KamerMaker,” Dutch
for “room maker”, is their giant printer built inside a shipping container. Just
a few weeks ago, KamerMaker began printing plastic furniture and walls at an empty
canal-side lot in northern Amsterdam. Smaller versions of the unusual honeycomb
walls have been tested on normal desktop printers, and everyone just needed to scale
it up (按比例放大). Well, if only it were that easy.
“The printer did not always manage to spread the plastic evenly(均匀的),
making some of the ribs of the honeycomb structure of the block uneven,”reported
ARN(Australian Radio Network) to the surprise of no one who has used a 3D printer.
But the architects remain optimistic. The first few printed blocks are means to be
..
.
test prices as they improve the process.
It takes about a week to print a 3-meter high block right now. The project’
s leaders hope to eventually get that down to two hours and finish the first of 12
rooms in a year, and the entire house in less than 3 years.
Finally, 3D Print Canal House is an architecture research project, one that
is very much being conducted in the public eye. You can actually buy tickets to visit
the construction site for 2.50 Euros.
The top floors will become more decorated, for example, as newer techniques
are used. They’ll explore the possibilities of 3D printing, like honeycomb walls
or an entire room recycled, redesigned, and built again. Nobody’s going to move
into 3D printed house soon, but, if anyone ever dose, something might be learned
from this experiment by the email.
26. What have the Dutch architects begun to use 3D printer to do according to the
passage?___
A. To make heavy paperweights.
B. To print the unusual honeycomb.
C. To print an entire canal house.
D. To build a shipping container
27. Where did KamerMaker begin printing plastic furniture and walls several weeks
ago?
A. It was inside a shipping container in Amsterdam.
B. It was at an empty canal-side lot in northern Amsterdam.
C. It was in a canal house in Amsterdam.
D. It was in a room.
28. What is the weakness of the 3D printer mentioned in the passage?
A. It cannot always spread the plastic evenly.
B. It needs to be shortened.
C. It cannot make the ribs of the honeycomb structure.
D. It can print anything smoothly.
29. How long will it take for the 3D printer to make the canal house in Amsterdam?
A. A week
B. Two hours
C. More than 3 years
D. Less than 3 years
30. Which of the following statements is WRONG according to the passage?
A. This canal house is being built in the public eye.
B. The top floors of the canal house will be more decorated.
C. Someone is going to move into this canal house soon.
D. One can visit the construction site for 2.50 Euros.
Task 3
Let’s say you have a certain amount of money you’ve saved up for holiday gifts.
If you want to get something for everyone on your list, you can’t spend much on
any single purchase.
But have you ever heard the expression "time is money "? There’s some truth
..
.
to it! We “spend” time just like we “spend” money, and in both cases, we have
to spend it wisely if we want to get something good in return. Just like you might
get an allowance of 10 dollars a week. Or 38 dollars for a trip to the mall, each
day we are given 24 hours of time.
The earliest way to help you get everything done to budget that time! This is
all about:
-Examining your Have-to’s and Want-to’s.
-Examining your how much time your Have-to’s and Want-to’s will take up.
-Working out a plan that let’s you speed the amount of time on each one.
Once you have this plan, a “time budget”, you’ll be better able to create
a Daily Schedule and Weekly Planner. Of course, everyday isn’t exactly the same
as the next, so it may help you to make a different time budget for different days.

Let’s look at a sample time budget on Wednesday:
Sleep
Shower, dressing, ready for school
Breakfast
Bus for school
School
Bus home
Soccer practice
Household chores
Homework
Dinner
TV time
Reading/personal time
Total time spent
Great! That day’s budget works out, because it all adds up 24 hours. If the
total came out to be more than that, we would have choose something to cut down or
drop from that day. When you make these types of decision, you choose priorities.

2. Examine how much time they will take up.
3. Work out ______ to allocate the time.
A sample time budget: The day’s budget should add up to______ hours.

Task 4
[A]Interest in pursuing international careers has risen in recent years strengthened
by permanent personnel shortages that are causing companies to search beyond their
home borders for talent.
[B] Professionals seek career experience outside of their home countries for a
..
.
variety of reasons. They may feel the need to recharge their batteries with a new
challenge. They may want a position with more responsibility that encourages
creativity. Or they may wish to expose their children to another culture, and the
opportunity to learn a second language.
[C]When applying for a job, one usually has to submit a resume or curriculum vitae
(CV). The two terms generally mean the same thing: a one--or two--page document
describing one's educational qualifications and professional experience. However,
guidelines for preparing a resume are constantly changing. The best advice is to
find out what is appropriate regarding the company culture, the country culture,
and the culture of the person making the hiring decision. The challenge will be to
include two or more cultures in one document. The following list is a good place
to start.
[D]“Educational requirements differ from country to country. In almost every case
of
'cross--border' job hunting, just stating the title of your degree will not be an
adequate description. Provide the reader with details about your studies and any
related experience. "
[E]Pay
or
reverse-chronological order. Chronological order means listing your 'oldest' work
experience first. Reverse-chronological order means listing your current or most
recent experience first. Most countries have preferences about which format is most
acceptable. If you find no specific guidelines, the general preference is for the
reverse-chronological format."
[F]If you are submitting your resume in English, find out if the receiver uses British
English or American English because there are changes between the two versions. For
example, university education is often referred to as 'tertiary education' in the
United Kingdom, but this term is almost never used in the United States. A reader
who is unfamiliar with these changes may assume that your resume contains errors.

32. When it comes to resume writing, it is best to take cultural factors into
consideration.
33. According to the author's last piece of advice, the applicants should be aware

finding qualified personnel at home.
35. When writing about qualifications, applicants are advised to provide a
detailed
description of their study and work experiences.
