Section A
Directions: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
(A)
Joseph used to be a salesman. He 25 (work) 30 years for the same company and now he had to retire. As a sign of gratitude, the company held a dinner in 26 honor. “Joseph,” announced the boss, “it is my great honor 27 (present) a gift as a souvenir (纪念品) to you on behalf of the company.”
Sam walked down to the front of the table and accepted 28 gift with pride. It was a gold watch and on it was written “To faithful Joseph for 30 years of service.” Joseph wept. “I am lost for words to describe 29 happy I am right now!”
At home, Joseph showed his wife the watch. “For this you worked 30 years — a cheap gold-plated watch?” his wife asked, 30 (look) at the watch critically. “It’s the thought that really matters,” answered Joseph. “The important thing is that I am not working any more.” His wife held the gold watch to her ear and said, “ 31 is your watch.”
(B)
Human males living with their moms may not expect to have much luck hooking up this Valentine’s Day. 32 that isn’t the case with other species. Among the northern muriqui monkeys, males that spend the most time around their mothers seem to get an added boost 33 mating time rolls around.
The findings, 34 (publish) in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA, suggest that females in some species may have evolved to play a critical role 35 their sons’ reproductive success. Karen Strier, the paper’s lead author and a professor of anthropology at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, says the paper “extends” the so-called grandmother hypothesis, a concept in which human females evolved to spend more time 36 (help) offspring (后代).
The research team visited a protected reserve in Brazil’s Atlantic Forest 37 team members observed and collected genetic data from a group of 67 wild monkeys. They found that six out of the 13 adult males they studied spent 38 (much) time in close proximity (接近) to their mothers than would be expected by chance. These same six monkeys, on average, sired (繁殖) the greatest number of offspring.
The investigators 39 (puzzle) about the reason. “It’s not like we see moms intervening and helping their sons out,” Strier says. “Maybe they just get more familiar with other females.” Strier also found that there was no inbreeding among sons and their close female relatives, a process that might also be mediated by mothers. “Mating may be less random 40 their mothers’ influence is there,” she says.

Are organic foods more nutritious than conventionally raised ones? Stanford University scientists cast 41 on that concept last year in a widely publicized report. But the secret is that whether your apples and spinach are organic or not, nutrient levels can vary 42 depending on growing conditions, such as soil type and quality, temperature, and days of sun versus rain. As a consumer, you have no independent way of confirming that you have chosen a 43 batch (批次). But what if you had a handheld scanner that would allow you to check nutrient density? Professor Dan Kittredge, executive director of the Bionutrient Food Association, is 44 the funds to research such a device.
The basic technology has existed for decades. NIR spectroscopy (光谱学) — the modality that Kittredge is currently focusing on — has found 45 in manufacturing, medicine, agriculture and astronomy. NIR works on the principle that different molecules (分子) vibrate in slightly different ways. When infrared light (红外线) is transmitted through or reflected from a
46 sample, certain wavelengths are absorbed more than others. By measuring the fraction of near-infrared light absorbed at each wavelength, scientists can obtain a 47 fingerprint that is characteristic of the sample. The results are precise — and fast.
Until recently, NIR and related forms of vibrational spectroscopy were 48 to the laboratory, where they required large benchtop instruments that only skilled scientists could operate. Now, with miniaturization, they are being packaged in simple handheld devices that a worker without a Ph.D. in chemistry can use in a warehouse or in the field.
Still, NIR has one major limitation as far as a supermarket scanner is concerned, which is that it cannot give an accurate 49 for compounds (化合物) at a concentration of less than 0.1 percent. To solve this problem, Kittredge is now working with others to run thousands of assays on key foods to establish the algorithms (算法) needed to develop a workable scanner since plants develop certain types of compounds in specific ratios (比例) to 50 minerals.
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.
Some people think lost memories are impossible to regain, but, 51 , that is not true. A new research reveals that even facts “forgotten” by people during a busy day may be retrieved if this is followed by a good night’s sleep.
In the study, researchers from the University of Chicago asked 52 to remember simple words. Researchers, writing in the journal Nature, said the brain could “rescue” lost memories during the night. Many found their memories 53 towards the end of the day, but the following morning, as the experiment has shown, those who had had a 54 sleep could recall much more.
The 12 people tested in the experiment were played words created through a speech synthesizer (合成器) which were purposely 55 to understand. Initially, the written version of the word was available, but afterwards the volunteers were asked to identify the word from the
56 version only. Tests revealed that as the day ended the ability to recall the right word tended to tail off. But in 57 , when the volunteers were retested after a good night’s sleep, they were able to recall some words that they had “forgotten” the previous evening.
Dr Daniel, one of the study authors, explained, “When the brain is first asked to remember something, that memory is laid down in an ‘unstable’ state, meaning that it is possible that it could be 58 . At some point, the brain consolidates (巩固) important things into a 59 state. However, it was possible for a “stable” memory to be made “unstable” again. This would mean that memories could be modified then filed away again 60 new experiences.”
“But, according to the experiment results, sleep consolidates memories and 61 them against subsequent interference or decay (衰退),” he added. “ 62 , sleep also appears to ‘recover’ or restore memories. If performance is reduced by decay, sleep might actively recover what has been lost.”
Dr Karim Nader, from the Department of Psychology in McGill University in Montreal, said: “Memory research is undergoing a 63 — no longer is memory thought to be a hard-wiring of the brain. 64 , it seems to be a process of storage and clearance. Sleep helps some memories ‘mature’ and also 65 other unimportant memories.”

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)
When I boarded an Amtrak train this summer, I had no idea what kind of ride I was in for.
Upon arrival at my home stop, I realized that my mobile phone was missing. I still had hope, though. A free service can use GPS information to locate lost phones on a map. After a couple of days, the service e-mailed me with a map revealed it to be at a house in Seat Pleasant, Md.
But how was I going to retrieve a phone five states away? On a whim, I posted a note to my blog followers about my lost phone. And I included a map showing the green locator dot over a satellite image of a nondescript house.
It did pay off. Using the address, local police got involved. The homeowner confessed to stealing the phone — no doubt baffled as to how the police had known exactly how to find him. And a day later I had the phone back.
But, to my surprise, not everyone is as happy as I am. Lots of people were disturbed by the affair. They saw my posting the thief’s address as ____________________.
My initial thought was: “Are they expressing sympathy for the thief? When you steal something, don’t you risk giving up some rights? How was my blog post any different from the “wanted” posters of suspects’ photographs that still hang in post offices?”
Of course, the difference in this case is that I, not law enforcement, posted the map and began the chase. Does that constitute a breach of the thief’s rights?
Those are tricky questions. Even when the government or law-enforcement agencies want to get cell location information, the law is not always clear-cut. Sometimes the police require a warrant (许可证) to obtain such information from cell phone companies; in other instances, they do not. In my case, there’s not even much law to guide us. Yet combining the powers of geotracking and social networking seemed such an obvious tactic that, at the time, I hardly gave it a second thought.
In the end, maybe what society really needs is an app called Find My Moral Compass.
66. To get his phone back, the author _____.
A. turned to the police for help directly
B. posted the image of his phone online
C. used a service known as geotracking
D. asked the followers to contact the thief
67. Which of the following is most likely the missing part in Paragraph 5?
A. a dishonest way of revenge
B. an unpleasant violation of privacy
C. a demonstration of modern technology
D. a misinterpretation of the law
68. The underlined word “clear-cut” in Paragraph 8 probably means _____.
A. definite
B. cut through
C. understandable
D. unacceptable
69. Which of the following statements FAILS to describe author’s thoughts?
A. Before the journey he never thought his phone could be lost.
B. He never thought that his phone could be regained.
C. He never thought that people would disagree on his way of getting the phone back.
D. He originally thought it to be ridiculous to highlight the rights of the thieves.

Therapists have long known that men and women experience their blues differently. Yet when clinicians designed the guidebook they use to diagnose (诊断) psychiatric maladies, they made the descriptions gender-neutral. Today, evidence is mounting that in turning a blind eye to gender, they are actually doing their patients a disservice. As more researchers investigate sex differences in depression, the inescapable conclusion is that gender influences every aspect of these disorders.
More recently, researchers have started to study the deeper dissimilarities. Perhaps the most important of these, and the one most frequently misunderstood by people of both genders, is the difference in symptoms expressed by women and men. For women, the primary emotion of depression is usually sadness. For men, it is more typically anger or irritability, often coupled with recklessness (不顾一切). As a result, many women and men, including depressed men, mistake male depression for general frustration and restlessness rather than a serious disorder in desperate need of intervention. Depressed men are also much less likely to seek help than depressed women, and they are much more likely to hurt themselves.
The big question is whether the variations are a matter of nature or nurture (后天养育). Some researchers believe the brain chemistry of depression is the same in men and women but that social norms do not let men express sadness, so they often have difficulty articulating their symptoms. “They’ll say, ‘I’m not getting as much done,’ or ‘I keep getting into fights with my girlfriend,’ rather than ‘I’m sad,’” says Sam Cochran, director of counseling at the University of Iowa. “But once we get past that, the symptoms are pretty much the same as for the female patients.”
Cochran and others who emphasize the importance of cultural influences are increasingly in the minority. An ever growing body of evidence suggests that biology sets men and women apart in ways that have real consequences for mood and behavior. Not surprisingly, these differences emerge from the very substances that define gender in the first place: sex hormones (激素).
Understanding the effects of these hormones on the brain may be the only way to make sure that every depressed patient gets the right treatment. The biochemistry of sex hormones in the brain, however, is difficult to study because the hormones themselves are hard to measure and their effects are so widespread. But the evidence is strong for a primary role in gross brain physiology. The male brain tends to be larger than the female brain and matures more slowly. Although scientists have not yet pinpointed the mechanism behind the delay, animal research has shown that one main component (组成部分) of the male hormones can increase brain size by stimulating the production of a protein that contributes to neuron (神经元) development. The additional growth may mean that the male brain needs more time to reach full maturity.
73. What did the author say of the action of describing the symptoms gender-neutral?
A. It is quite reasonable for the clinicians to make it gender-neutral.
B. Clinicians are unaware of the different responses male and female make.
C. Therapists should have made the real conditions known to the public.
D. It is better if patients could learn the truth from the researchers.
74. According to the passage, when it comes to depression, men _____.
A. would share his own sorrows with his friends
B. actually call for immediate help from others
C. are less likely to express his anger than women
D. are mistaken because of their frustration
75. For those believing in nurture theory, men would have these responses because _____.
A. men are normally expected to be stronger than women are
B. sex hormones have a bigger impact on men than on women
C. men are less likely to be influenced by traditional beliefs
D. men’s shyness prevent themselves from expressing their emotions
76. Which of the following is TRUE according to the last two paragraphs?
A. More scientists believe it is nurture that leads to the variations in symptoms.
B. Different elements of sex hormones may result in different depression symptoms.
C. It takes men far more time to get matured than women.
D. Scientists did experiments on animal reactions because it was hard to measure hormones.
77. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. Sex matters in understanding depression reactions
B. How different people suffer from depression
C. Reasons for our blues
D. Different theories in explaining depression symptoms
Section C
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
In a few years you will be able to order a transcript of your entire genetic code for less than $1,000. Adults cannot do much to alter their biological lot, but what if parents could examine their unborn child’s genome? Two different university laboratories have developed tests that will reveal the entirety of a baby’s genetic code using just a blood sample from the mother plus a drop of saliva (唾液) from the father.
Prenatal (出生前的) whole-genome sequencing will provide volumes of information beyond the currently available tests exclusively for genetic disorders such as Down’s syndrome or Tay-Sachs disease. The three billion units of code furnished in the new tests will also dwarf the relative trickle (零散) of information provided by consumer gene-testing services such as 23andMe, which currently look only at perhaps about one million locations in the genome.
Attitudes toward child rearing might change along with the new technology. Without careful planning, the new prenatal genetics might rob a child of the chance to make decisions best left until adulthood — whether or not to learn, for instance, if a mutation (突变) predicts the inevitability of Huntington’s disease 20 years hence.
Another fear is that a customer without conferring with a genetics counselor can receive information via the Internet about a multifold greater risk of breast cancer. Similar laissez-faire action to prenatal whole-genome testing could portend (预示) tragedy.
Ultimately certain agency will need to develop a comprehensive policy on prenatal whole-genome testing. Bioethics scholars wrote an analysis last summer that calls on the medical community to develop a guide to the most relevant genomic data for future parents. Unfortunately, there aren’t nearly enough trained genetics counselors to handle the coming upsurge in demand for this type of information. Without access to a much higher level of refined expertise, the secrets of our offspring’s genetic code will continue to remain an unnerving cipher — or worse.
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statement in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)
78. __________ is / are needed to complete a prenatal whole-genome testing.
79. In which two ways is the new testing better than the current one?
80. Under the influence of the new testing, when will decisions concerning the child be probably made according to the passage?
81. “Similar laissez-faire action to the testing” in Paragraph 5 probably refers to __________.

Listening Comprehension
Section A
Directions: In Section A, you will hear ten short conversations between two speakers. At the end of each conversation, a question will be asked about what was said. The conversations and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a conversation and the question about it, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.
1. M: I’d like two tickets to Vancouver.
W: You’d better hurry. The flight takes off in just one hour.
Q: Where does this conversation probably take place?
2. W: Mr. Watson, I wonder whether it’s possible for me to take a vacation early next month.
M: Did you fill out a request form?
Q: What is the probable relationship between the two speakers?
3. W: Wow! I do like this campus: all the big trees, the green lawns, and the old buildings with tall columns. It’s really beautiful.
M: It sure is. The architecture of these buildings is in the Greek style. It was popular in the eighteenth century here.
Q: What are the speakers talking about?
4. M: Nancy, why were you late for class this morning?
W: I overslept and missed the bus.
Q: Why was Nancy late?
5. M: If you are in a hurry, you can take the subway. If you want to go sightseeing, take the bus.
W: Actually, I don’t have to be at the conference before noon.
Q: What would the woman probably do?
6. W: I don’t understand why this book for self study doesn’t have answers to the questions.

7. M: Did it cost very much to stay overnight at the hotel?
W: More than you would believe.
Q: What does the woman mean?

W: I wouldn’t have troubled him so much if I had known he was so busy.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
9. W: Oh, it’s so cold. We haven’t had such a severe winter for so long, have we?
M: Yes, the forecast says it’s going to get worse before it warms up.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
10. W: What would you do if you were in my place?
M: If David were my son, I’d just not worry. Now that his teacher is giving him extra help and he is working hard himself, he’s sure to do well in the next exam.
Q: What’s the man’s suggestion to the woman?
Section B
Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages, and you will be asked three questions on each of the passages. The passages will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
I am living in a small village in the country. My wife and I run a village shop. We have a very peaceful live, bore some I might say. But we love it. We know all the people in the village. They have plenty of time to stop and chat. I have plenty of time for my hobbies too--gardening, fishing, and walking in the country side. I love the outdoor life. It wasn’t always like this though I used to have a really stressful job, working so late in the office every evening. I often bring work home at the weekends. The advertising world is very competitive. And when I look back, I can’t imagine how I stood it. I have no private life at all. No time for the really important things in life. Because of the pressure of the job, I used to smoke and drink too much. The crisis came when my wife left me. She complained that she never saw me and I had no time for family life. This made me realize what is really important to me. I talked things through with her and decided to get back together and started a new and better life together. I gave up tobacco and alcohol and searched for new hobbies. Now I am afraid of looking back since the past life seemed like a horrible dream.

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
Reducing the amount of sleep students get at night has a direct impact on their performance at school during the day. According to classroom teachers, elementary and middle school students who stay up late exhibit more learning and attention problems. This has been shown by Brown Medical School and Bradley Hospital research. In the study, teachers were not told the amount of sleep students received when completing weekly reports on students’ performance, yet they rated the students who had received eight hours or less as having the most trouble recalling all the material, learning new lessons and completing high-quality work. Teachers also reported that these students had more difficulty paying attention. The experiment is the first to ask teachers to report on the effects of sleep shortage in children. Just staying up late can cause increased academic difficulty and attention problems, said Garharn Forlone, the study’s lead author. So the results provide professionals and parents with a clear message: when a child is having learning and attention problems, the issue of sleep has to be taken into consideration. “If we don’t ask about sleep, and try to improve sleep patterns in kids’ struggling academically, then we aren’t doing our job”, Forlone said. For parents, he said, the message is simple, “getting kids to bed on time is as important as getting them to school on time”.

M: No, Laura. I don’t believe I’ve seen it. Where did you find it?
W: In the local newspaper. Apparently it’s an advertisement by a public service group. It is seeking financial assistance to help these children.
M: I had no idea this problem even existed. I wish there was something we could do to help.
W: Well, look, the advertisement provides a telephone number and an address where donations can be made.
M: I think I know where the location is. Yes…It’s a large volunteer center.
W: Yes. The advertisement says that they are looking for money donations as well as school supplies.
M: I’ve got quite a few school supplies.
W: Really?
M: I bought them last year, like pencils, ball pens, sharpeners and some English children’s books. I wish they would like them, especially those books. They would open their eyes to a new world.
W: That’s wonderful. And I would be willing to donate some money. Why don’t you carry your things over to the volunteer center now?
