PART Ⅳ

READING COMPREHENSION

(45 minutes, 30 points, 1 point each)

Directions: In this part of the test, there are five short passages. Read each passage carefully, and then do the questions that follow. Choose the best answer from the four choices given and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scored Answer Sheet.

Passage One

Like many writers, I’ve been kicking around an idea for a novel for years. I wrote part of my tale during a less busy time in my life years ago. But I couldn’t build momentum. I’d write a bit, then abandon the project for months.

This is a problem many people face, I learned while writing about workday schedules for my recent book. We have grand ideas for where to take our careers someday, but immediate deadlines or meetings or aggressive coworkers always seem to take precedence on Monday morning. Internal motivation is powerful,but it’s easier to say no to ourselves rather than the rest of the world.

So what do successful people do? They create external motivations for things they want to do but that life has a way of crowding out. They create accountability systems that boost important but not urgent items to the top of their priority lists—ideally in a way that makes failure really uncomfortable.

Nika Stewart, for instance, owns a social media marketing business. She’s also part of an accountability group called the 7-Figure Club. Every Monday,each entrepreneur checks in online to determine the amount of a week’s work that will advance her toward her annual goals. Then on Friday, everyone checks back in to say whether she met her goal. If Stewart’s weekly goal, shared with the group on Monday, was to send out 10 proposals, she tells me, “Thursday night,if I didn’t do it, I might stay up and do it.” Why? She doesn’t want to look lazy to people whose opinion she cares about.

I knew I needed an accountability system for myself, or my novel would never get written. Late last year, I found my partner Katherine Reynolds Lewis. I’m almost embarrassed to say how effective this little shift in approach was. Being accountable to Katherine made me want to write 2,000 words, just so I could e-mail her saying I’d written them. There weren’t any real consequences to failing, but the part of my brain that learned to turn in papers on time in school years ago leapt to attention once it had an assignment.

“Write 2,000 words” got a spot on my to-do list. In 10 weeks, I had enough words (20,000) to have a sense of how I intended to shape the second half of the book. By April 15, I had my draft.

51. In Paragraph 1, “build momentum” refers to______.

A. find enough time for writing

B. form a good habit of writing

C. keep on writing my novel

D. decide on the plot of my novel

52. What is the problem mentioned in Paragraph 2?

A. Lack of internal motivation.

B. Limited time and energy.

C. Competition among coworkers.

D. Over-demanding job responsibility.

53. The accountability system can help people______.

A. create an internal motivation to do important things

B. accomplish what they have promised to do

C. determine what are the important things to do

D. succeed in doing things they don’t want to do

54. Nika Stewart makes sure that she meets her goals______.

A. by winning friends’ support

B. by staying up each day

C. through effective communication

D. through group pressure

55. What can we say about the effect of the accountability system on the author?

A. Very disappointing.

B. Hard to say for now.

C. Kind of promising.

D. Quite successful.

56. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. How does the accountability system work?

B. Who is going to join the accountability system?

C. When is the accountability system most effective?

D. Why are people interested in the accountability system?

Passage Two

The tomatoes your great-grandparents ate probably tasted little like the ones you eat today. In fact, tomatoes “were once so flavorful that you could take one in your hand and eat it straight away just like we regularly eat apples or peaches,”according to plant scientist Alan Bennett. He belongs to a team of international scientists who now think they know one reason why the fruit has lost so much flavor.

Although some unripe tomatoes have a dark green patch near the stem,farmers prefer that their unripe tomatoes are the same shade of green all over.The consistent coloring makes it easier for them to know when the fruit should be picked.

But tomatoes without the dark green patch are also missing an important genetic ingredient that helps the fruit make more sugar and other tasty molecules. So by breeding tomatoes for that consistent color, Bennett’s team says, crop scientists may have accidentally contributed to also making this fruit bland. “It is a good illustration of unintended consequences,” Harry Klee told Science News.

Tomatoes make sugars in compartments called chloroplasts ( 叶绿体). Bennett and his colleagues found that tomatoes need the correct version of a gene (one called SlGLK2) to form chloroplasts properly in the fruit. A gene acts as a biological instruction book that tells cells which molecules to make.

Tomatoes without the dark green patch have the wrong version of this gene,the researchers report in Science. As these fruits ripen, they can’t make as many chloroplasts. And chloroplasts that they do produce are smaller. One result: The tomatoes make less sugar—and don’t taste as good.

Tomatoes also produce gases responsible for some of the odors we associate with the fruit. Even though you only breathe them, these gases affect the way that you perceive flavor. Tomatoes with weak chloroplasts can’t make as much of these gases, further reducing flavor.

But the newfound gene change is “not the whole story of why modern tomatoes are so bad, by a long shot,” Klee told Science News. Tomatoes are also blander when they are picked too early or stored in the fridge.

57. Which of the following results from the help of crop scientists?

A. Tomatoes with various colors.

B. Improved color and taste of tomatoes.

C. Increased output of tomatoes.

D. Tomatoes with a consistent green color.

58. The word “bland” (Para. 3) probably means______.

A. less nutritious

B. less tasteful

C. more colorful

D. more productive

59. What does Harry Klee think of the work of crop scientists?

A. It is a mixed blessing.

B. It is beneficial to farming.

C. It is hard to evaluate.

D. It does more good than harm.

60. What can be learned about chloroplasts?

A. The more the chloroplasts, the sweeter the tomatoes.

B. The smaller the chloroplasts, the better odor tomatoes have.

C. Chloroplasts help form the correct version of SlGLK2.

D. Chloroplasts mainly affect tomatoes’ color, not their flavor.

61. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a reason for tomatoes’ flavor today?

A. The change of tomatoes’ gene.

B. The time tomatoes are picked.

C. The soil where tomatoes are planted.

D. The storage temperature.

62. The passage is mainly written to______.

A. introduce the modern way of breeding tomatoes

B. compare tomatoes today and those in the past

C. describe how the tomato technology has evolved

D. explain why tomatoes today have lost much flavor

Passage Three

Recently, I was struck by Eric Holder’s comment on the George Zimmerman versus Trayvon Martin case in Florida. Talking about his son and the fears of African-American fathers for their teenage sons, Holder said: “I am his father and it is my responsibility, not to burden him with the baggage of eras long gone, but to make him aware of the world he must still confront. This is a sad reality in a nation that is changing for the better in so many ways.”

I also agree with the commentary of Lawrence Bobo:

“The most essential facts of this case will never change. A teenager went out to buy iced tea. At some point, he was confronted by a man with a gun who killed him. There is no universe I understand where this can be declared a noncriminal act. Not in a sound, just and racism-free universe.”

What happened was a crime and the released shooter, Zimmerman, is no role model for anyone. He was aggressively stupid.

But for me, the mentally-retarded killer is not the issue. I think this story is about guns and television. Florida is a swampy place and so are its laws. It is absurd to permit a civilian like Zimmerman to legally go around with a concealed weapon, following or pursuing anyone he decides or imagines is a danger to his community. Circumstances like that are the reason we have laws, courts and police.

And television. I know a bit about television in courtrooms, which I thought was a bad idea from the start. In 1978, I wrote about what I believe was the first televised trial—in Miami. The defendant was a kid named Ronny Zamora, who killed an 83-year-old neighbor in an unskilled burglary in her home. He was sentenced to life imprisonment.

The Zamora case, like the Zimmerman case, was a big story, not because it was an unusual trial, but because of cameras in the courtroom. The television press could not ignore it. The video feed was a real reality show. It was irresistible and dangerous television wallpaper, guaranteed to fan the ever-withering racial coals of the nation.

Back to guns. My father was for gun control because, as he told me many times, in disputes that escalate into violence, someone inevitably reaches for the deadliest weapon available. If there’s a gun and someone uses it, death is likely.He was right, then and now.

63. According to Paragraph One, Eric Holder is probably______.

A. reluctant to face the real world

B. disappointed with some social realities

C. indifferent to racial discrimination

D. confident about the future of this country

64. Lawrence Bobo’s comment reveals his______.

A. sympathy for Zimmerman

B. tolerance of street violence

C. intense anger at the verdict

D. doubt about the evidence

65. In Paragraph Five, the author is______.

A. criticizing local laws in Florida

B. praising Florida for its legislation

C. arguing for death penalty in Florida

D. defending the killer Zimmerman

66. Television is blamed for its______.

A. distorted presentation of court trials

B. constant exaggeration of the crime rate

C. prejudice against the colored people

D. negative effect on racial issues

67. The author agrees with his father in that______.

A. guns have nothing to do with crime

B. guns can effectively prevent crime

C. guns can serve as deadly weapons

D. guns should not be controlled

68. Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage?

A. A Big Tragedy and a Big Story: Race, Guns & Television

B. Gun Control: Both a Blessing and a Curse

C. What Is to Be Done to Prevent Illegal Shooting

D. The Role of Television in Fair Trials

Passage Four

Forecasting the weather requires huge quantities of data, mainly collected by high-tech means such as satellites and radar, but low-tech tools are important too—especially old-fashioned rain gauges ( 雨量器).

Each technique has its strengths and weaknesses. Radar and satellites can cover swathes of land, yet they lack detail. Gauges are much more accurate, but the price of that accuracy is spotty coverage. Now, though, Aart Overeem of the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute and his colleagues reckon they have come up with another way to watch the rain carefully. It offers, they believe, both broad coverage and fine detail. Best of all, it relies on something that is already almost everywhere—the mobile-phone network.

Their scheme starts from the observation that rain can make it harder for certain sorts of electromagnetic radiation to travel through the atmosphere.Measure this resistance and you can measure how rainy it is. The researchers do not measure the strength of mobile-phone signals themselves. Instead, they rely on something that mobile networks already do, and measure the strength of the microwave links that base stations use to talk to each other.

The idea itself is not new, and there have been trials in recent years. Like all the best science, the idea is both technically elegant and practically useful,since it allows better cross-checking of existing methods. There are other advantages. Coverage is one. Even in rich countries with well-financed weather forecasters, there are probably far more mobile-phone base stations than rain gauges. That is truer still in poor countries, where rain gauges are scarce and radar often nonexistent, but mobile phones common. Another boon is that network operators tend to keep a close eye on their microwave links. Although the researchers were able to obtain data only every 15 minutes, some firms sample their networks once a minute. That means rainfall could, in principle,be measured almost in real time, something that neither gauges nor radar nor satellites can manage.

The technology is not perfect: snow and hail are harder than rain for microwaves to spot, for example. Besides, mobile networks are densest in urban areas, which are also the places that probably have weather-forecasting equipment already. Even in the rich, urbanized Netherlands, coverage outside cities is noticeably irregular.

69. Paragraph 3 mainly talks about______.

A. how to use the mobile-phone network to measure rainfall

B. the equipment for measuring rainfall with the mobile-phone network

C. the limits of using the mobile-phone network to measure rainfall

D. the efficiency of measuring rainfall with the mobile-phone network

70. What is true about the idea of using the mobile-phone network to measure rain?

A. It is completely new.

B. It is a bit impractical.

C. It is worth a try.

D. It is easier said than done.

71. What does the word “boon” (Paragraph 4) probably mean?

A. A problem.

B. A flaw.

C. A theory.

D. A benefit.

72. The mobile-phone network has advantages over both satellites and gauges because______.

A. it is easy to use

B. it offers real-time measurement

C. it is less expensive

D. it is more accurate

73. One of the problems with this new technology is that______.

A. mobile phones are rarely used in rural areas

B. weather forecasts are not easy in big cities

C. some areas can’t be adequately covered

D. this technology can hardly be used in poor countries

74. The purpose of writing the passage is to______.

A. introduce a new way of forecasting the weather

B. compare the existing ways of forecasting the weather

C. point out the need for improvement in weather forecast

D. analyze the technological development in weather forecast

Passage Five

Oh no, not Anthony Weiner again.

The older generation never gets it. Anthony Weiner, a candidate for mayor of New York, admitted this week to having sent more snaps of himself to a digital acquaintance. As any youngster could have told him, the way to find love is to send photos of your face.

Consider Will, a 24-year-old future film director in California. He meets potential dates via a smartphone app called Tinder. It finds potential matches who are nearby—your phone always knows where you are—and shows him photos from their Facebook profiles. Will can like or reject each photo. If a woman he likes also likes him, both are alerted and can start chatting.

Tinder is quick (you can look through dozens of photos in minutes) and spares your blushes (you never know if someone rejects you). Will has already had three romantic encounters and hundreds of matches, he says. Justin Mateen,a co-founder of Tinder, says it has made 100m matches since its launch in September, and led to_50_marriage proposals. He adds: “The app has only really been going for nine months. There could be a baby popping out soon.”

Americans are dating longer, which creates opportunities for matchmakers.Some are quite direct.

Bang with Friends (BWF), another app, allows users to specify which of their Facebook friends they would like to spend the night with. If both parties feel the same way, BWF notifies them. If not, no one is any wiser. BWF was booted from Apple’s app store, but that hasn’t stopped it from creating 200,000 pairings since its January launch. BWF’s boss admits he came up with the concept while “a bit drunk.”

Such apps make it easier to find potential partners, but don’t seem to have turned America into a nation of bed-hoppers. Young women claim to have had an average of 3.6 male intimate friends while young men 6.1 female ones. These figures may be inaccurate—men may exaggerate; women may undercount—but they have not changed much in years.

Parents worry that staring at screens all day has made youngsters socially awkward face-to-face. A survey by two dating sites found that 36%-38% of Americans aged 21-34 ask for dates by text message. But when they meet, they must still make their moves in person. Witty joking and a well-placed facial expression still have their uses.

75. It can be summarized from the first three paragraphs that______.

A. we used to judge a potential match by his or her appearance

B. one can find love by sending his photos to a digital acquaintance

C. Anthony Weiner is trying to win more votes from digital friends

D. Tinder will probably replace traditional matchmakers worldwide

76. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 probably means that______.

A. babies may send photos to each other via a smartphone

B. babies will appear in advertisements about cell phones

C. Tinder can possibly lead to marriages and baby births

D. parents usually send digital photos of their baby to friends

77. Paragraph 6 is focused on______.

A. the huge success that BWF has achieved

B. the serious consequence of digital dating

C. the evolution of matchmaking in the U.S.

D. the future developments of Facebook

78. The last paragraph implies that______.

A. excessive use of apps leaves youngsters socially awkward

B. most young people find love through text messages

C. people in love often move their homes before marriage

D. verbal or non-verbal language is still used during dates

79. Potential matches found by Tinder are probably______.

A. young, single and nearby

B. poor, married but lonely

C. illiterate, retired but divorced

D. far-away, busy and happy

80. This passage is primarily concerned with______.

A. novel cell phones

B. virtual marriage

C. digital dating

D. functions of the Internet

TRANSLATION

(30 minutes, 20 points)

Section A (15 minutes, 10 points)

Directions: Put the following paragraph into Chinese. Write your Chinese version in the proper space on Answer Sheet Ⅱ.

My goals in writing this book are twofold. First, I hope to paint a picture of what it was like to serve as president for eight straight years. My conviction is that it is virtually impossible to reach definite conclusions about my presidency for several decades.
