Directions:There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is
followed by four questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked
A, B, C and D.Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the
Answer Sheet.
Passage One
Debate is a valuable way to practise communicating. It can also bring
long-lasting rewards,especially for people working with Western businesses. The
main activity of debate is presenting one' s opinion and suppmting it with
evidence,such as statistics or facts. It is a way of persuasive communication.
Charles Lebeau helped create the "Discover Debate" method. He says debate is
important to understanding how people communicate in Western business. Successful
debaters learn how to give their opinkm,reasans and support. "What we are trying
to do is to develop a kind of thinking or approach to discussion and how to interact
(交流) with someone else' s opinion, rather than brush their opinion aside. "
Debate skills are also important in selling a product, he says. In that situation,
the judges are the customem. "So on Monday, for example, one company may come in
and present their case to the customer and they" ll make as strong a ease as they
can. On Tuesday, the next day, another company will come in and present their ease
to the customer. Usually the party that can present the strongest case wins”
Debate also strengthens critical thinking. In other words, it helps students
learn to ask questionsand try to understand someone' s reasons and evidence.lift-.
Lebeau points out that successful debaters learn to listen carefully to what other
people are saying. Then, they look for the weak points in someone else' s opinion
or argument. He says debate teaches a systematic way of questioning.
Successful debaters also learn to think from someone else' s point of view. Mr.
Lebeau says debate can help broaden the mind. "There' s an expression in English :
don' t criticize another person before you have walked in their shoes. I think the
wonderful thing about debate is, it puts us in another person' s shoes. "
36. According to Paragraph 1 ,what is the purpose of debate?
A. To bring long-lasting material rewards.
B. To present evidence such as statistics and facts.
C. To respond to questions in a systematic way.
D. To persuade people to accept your opinions.
37. Why is debate important.9
A. It helps people understand others better.
B. It allows people to present their opinions.
C. It develops one' s thinking and communicative competence.
D. It gives one the opportunity to brush others' opinion aside.
38. What does the underlined word "case" in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Container. B. Evidence.
C. Problem. D. Product.
39. What can debaters benefit from "walking in another person' s shoes" .9
A. Becoming more broad-minded. B. Developing critical thinking.
C. Finding others' weak points. D. Trying out others' methods.
Passage Two
We all love a hero, and rescue dogs are some of the biggest heroes of all. You
will often find them going above and beyond duty to save someone, risking--and at
times losing--their lives in the process.
Rescue dogs are generally found in the Sporting and Hunting Groups, or from the
traditional Herding Group. These types include the Bloodhound, Labrador Retriever,
Newfoundland, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Belgian Malinois--all of which
are chosen for search-and-rescue duty because of their amazing physical strength,
loyalty, and their tendency for mental stability.
These types also have a keen sense of hearing and smell--to better locate lost
individuals—and are often able to access hard-to-reach areas. As highly trained
animals, they serve in many different fields, including specialist search, snow
slide rescue, dead body location, and tracking.
To overcome obstacles and succeed when performing the demanding duties of a
search-and-rescue worker, a dog must display certain qualities. In addition to
intelligence and strength, the dog must be swift, confident, easily trainable,
adaptable, and have a high level of stamina (耐力) and endurance.
A strong sense of group cooperation and an ability to engage in friendly play
during "down" time is also required of search-and-rescue dogs.
A rescue dog goes through many, many hours of intensive training to be fit for
duty. Training is not for the faint-hearted. Certification training can take from
two to three years, working three to four hours a day, three to six days a week,
often in group,team-oriented sessions.
Each search-and-rescue field requires different types of training. Rescue
training, for instance, includes "air scenting"--where dogs are trained to smell
the air for the victim' s scent (气味) and then follow the scent to the person. This
ability is crucial to finding victims trapped under collapsed buildings and snow
slide.
40. Rescue dogs are chosen probably because__
A. they are loyal B. they are brave
C. they have amazing appearances D. they have good eyesight
41. What does "faint-hearted" in Paragraph 5 mean??
A. Courageous. B. Cowardly.
C. Energetic. D. Slow.
42. Which ability is most important for dogs to rescue people trapped in snow?
A. Sharp hearing. B. Swift movement.
C. Extraordinary smelling. D. A strong memory.
43. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Selection process of rescue dogs.
B. Qualities and training of rescue dogs.
C. Risks rescue dogs are faced with.
D. Types of tasks rescue dogs can perform.
Passage Three
Eating an apple a day doesn' t keep the doctor away, but it does reduce the amount
of trips you make to the drug store per year. That ' s according to a new study that
investigates whether there' s any truth in the old saying.
A team of researchers led by Dr Matthew Davis, of the University of Michigan
School of Nursing,asked 8,399 participants to answer survey questions about diet
and health. A total of 753 were apple eaters, consuming at least 149g of raw apple
per day. The remaining 7,646 were classed as non-apple eaters. When both groups
answered questions on trips to the doctor and trips to the drug store per year,the
apple eaters were found to be 27% less likely to visit the druggist for drugs.
Trips to the doctor were not significantly affected by apple consumption, though.
"Evidence does not support that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. However, the
small number of US adults who eat an apple a day does appear to use fewer prescription
medications," the study concludes.
Apple eaters were also found to be less likely to smoke and be more likely to
have a higher educational attainment than non-apple eaters. While apples do not
compete with oranges, they docontain some immune (免疫的) system-increasing vitamin
C, which may be why apple-eaters visit the druggist less. With over 8mg of vitamin
C per medium-sized fruit, an apple can provide roughly 14% your daily recommended
intake.
Previous studies have also linked apple consumption to a lower risk of Type 2
diabetes (二型糖尿病) ,improved lung function and a lower risk of colon (结肠)
cancer.
44. How many non-apple eaters answered survey questions in the research?
A. 149.
B. 7,646.
C. 753.
D. 8,399.
45. What is the conclusion of the study?
A. Apple consumption has greatly reduced US adults' trips to the doctor.
B. An apple a day does keep the doctor away.
C. Apples are far more nutritious than oranges.
D. A small number of US adult apple eaters tend to take less medicine.
46. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Apples are better than oranges.
B. Apples do have some vitamin C to increase the immune system.
C. Apples can help cure certain diseases.
D. Apples can provide people with sufficient daily intake of energy.
47. What can be described as the writing style of this passage?
A. Objective.
B. Creative.
C.subjective
D.persuasive
Passage Four
Sometimes I scratch my head when I read about the government' s efforts to improve
schools:new standards and tests to be applied, strict teacher evaluations, and
threats of school closures and job losses. They frighten the school employees, not
to mention the students. Instead of making people unable to solve problems or try
new ideas--which is what fear does to us--research on school reform strongly suggests
that policy-makers should encourage school leaders to take a more humane approach.
In their study on the reform efforts of twelve Chicago public schools, Bryk and
Schneider found that enabling positive social relationships between the adults was
the key to successful school improvement and that trust was at the heart of those
relationships.
Trust in schools comes down to one thing:psychological safety or safety to speak
one's mind,to discuss with openness and honesty what is and isn' t working,to make
collective decisions.
Yet this kind of safety doesn' t come easily to schools. According to Bryk and
Schneider, the adults in school rely on each other to do their jobs correctly and
with integrity (正直). The challeage is that our expectations are very diverse based
on our unique backgrounds.
At one school where I taught, each teacher had different expectations about how
much effort teachers should put into their work--a big difference between the
teachers who left af~the last bell and those who worked into the evening. And when
expectations are uncoasci or unspoken, it becomes impossible for others to live up
to them.
We also make assumptions about the intentions behind a person' s behavior. As
we all Imam,assumptions are often wrong. For example, parents and teachers my think
the principal taml particular decision based on his career advancement rather than
hat" s best for the studeata. don't feel psychologically safe to question our
assumptions and e~aecmtiatm, trust itiea am the window and our relationships suffer.
48. According to Paragraph 1,why does the author scratch his head?
A. Because he doesn' t know what to do once schools are closed.
B. Because he is not sure about the practicability of those new tests.
C. Because he is concerned that many teachers will lose their jobs.
D. Because he is not in favor of the government' s reform efforts.
49. According to Bryk and Schneider, what was most important for successful
school improvemt?
A. New standards and tests in schools.
B. Positive social relationships.
C. Strict teacher and student evaluations.
D. Assistance of the government.
50. What is meant by trust in school?
A. Freedom to express one' s views,
B. Extra effort teachers put into their work.
C. Independence of the teachers in schools.
D. Unconscious and unspoken expectations.
51. What does the author say about the assumptions made about the intentions
behind a person's behavior?
A. They should be trusted.
B. They are often bold.
C. They are often incorrect.
D. They should be encouraged.
Passage Five
An interesting project called Blue Zones is recording the lifestyle secrets of
the communities with the highest, hest concentrations of centenarians in the world.
The people in the five regions in Europe, Latin America,Asia and the US that
live to be 100 have a lot going for them. Genes probably play a small role, but these
folks also have strong social ties ,tightly-knit families and lots of opportunities
to exercise.
As we were examining the dietary secrets of the Blue Zones, as described in author
Dan Buettner" s latest book, The Blue Zones Solution, we were struck by how essential
tea drinking is in these regions. In fact, Buettner' s Blue Zones Beverage Rule--a
kind of guideline summarized from his 15 or so years of studying these places--is:"
Drink coffee for breakfast, tea in the afternoon, wine at 5 p. tm"
Science has plenty to say about the healthful virtues of green tea. Researchers
are most enthusi- astic almt the components in green tea, as well as foods like cocoa.
Why might they help so many Okina~vans in Japan break 1007 Some components in green
tea can lower the risk of stroke,heart disease attd several cancers. One review study
also found that drinking green tea can slightly improve metabolism (新陈代谢).
If you find yourself on the island of Ikaria, the Greek Blue Zone in the middle
of the Aegean, you won't be offered any tea made with tea leaves. Instead, Ikarians
typically make their daily cup of tea with just one fresh herb that they have picked
themselves
or
dandelion,all plants that may have anti-inflammatory (消炎的) properties,
sage,oregano,nmrjotmn,mint
rosemary,
that
day--either
wild
which may help lower blood pressure. This could explain Ikaria' s very low
dementia (痴呆) rate,since high blood pressure is a risk factor for the disease.
52. What does the underlined word "centenarians" in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. People who have secret lifestyles.
B. People who enjoy physical exercise.
C. People who are one hundred years old or older.
D. People who carry the gene for being slim.
53. According to Paragraph 3 ,what is the recommended time for tea drinking?
A. In the morning. B. Any time of a day.
C. In the early evening. D. In the afternoon.
54. What may the tea Ikarians drink daily help?
A. To improve metabolism. B. To lower blood pressure.
C. To lower life stress. D. To improve social relationships.
55. What might be the best title of the passage?
A. Tea-Drinking Tips B. Lifestyle Secrets of Ikarians
C. Tea-Drinking Ceremony in Okinawa D. Blue Zones Solutions
