Some big shops on Regent Street and Oxford Street in London create (26) in their windows with moving characters, falling snow, colourful lights and music.

So what do people buy (27) Christmas? Well, Christmas decorations, Christmas cards to send to friends and relatives, presents for loved ones and wrapping paper to wrap them up with. And of course food ! (28) the special Christmas dinner of roast turkey or goose, people

buy lots of chocolates, nuts and snacks for everyone to enjoy.

Children are the people who get the most excited that Christmas

is coming. They start making lists of presents they would like, and give them to their parents, or send them to (29) . In December, they can also open Advent calendars, which are a way of counting down to Christmas. These calendars have a window to open for every day from the 1 st to the 24th of December (Christmas Eve).

Part III Reading Comprehension

Section A

There is one passage in this section followed by five questions. For each question, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and then mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet with a single line through the centre.

Miss Rita Cohen, a tiny, pale-skinned girl who looked half the age of Seymour's daughter, Marie, but claimed to be some six years older, came to his factory one day. She was dressed in overalls and big ugly shoes, and a bush of wiry hair framed her pretty face. She

was so tiny, so young that he could barely believe that she was at the University of Pennsylvania, doing research into the leather industry in New Jersey for her master's degree.

Three or four times a year someone either phoned Seymour or wrote to him to ask permission to see his factory, and occasionally he would assist a student by answering questions over the phone or, if the student struck him as especially serious, by offering a brief tour.

Rita Cohen was nearly as small, he thought, as the children from Marie's third-year class, who'd been brought 50 kilometres from their rural schoolhouse one day, all those years ago, so that Marie's daddy could show them how he made gloves, show them especially Marie's favourite spot, the laying-off table, where, at the end of the process, the men shaped and pressed each and every glove by pulling

it carefully down over steam-heated brass hands. The hands were dangerously hot and they were shiny and they stuck straight up from the table in a row, thin-looking, like hands that had been flattened. As a little girl, Marie was captivated by their strangeness and

called them the "pancake hands".

He heard Rita asking, "How many pieces come in a shipment?"

"How many? Between twenty and twenty-five thousand. "

She continued taking notes as she asked, "They come direct to your shipping department?"

He liked finding that she was interested in every last detail. "They come to the tannery. The tannery is a contractor. We buy the material and they make it into the right kind of leather for us to use. My grandfather and father worked in the tannery right here in town. So did I, for six months, when I started in the business. Ever been inside a tannery?"

"Not yet. "

"Well, you've got to go to a tannery if you're going to write about leather. I'll set that up for you if you'd like that. They're primitive places. The technology has improved things, but what you'll see isn't that different from what you'd have seen hundreds of years ago. Awful work. It's said to be the oldest industry of which remains have been found anywhere. Six-thousand-year-old relics of tanning found somewhere—Turkey, I believe. The first clothing was just skins that were tanned by smoking them. I told you it was an interesting subject once you get into it. My father is the leather scholar; he's the one you should be talking to. Start my father off about gloves and he'll talk for two days. That's typical, by the way: glovemen love the trade and everything about it. Tell me, have you ever seen anything being manufactured, Miss Cohen?"

"I can't say I have. "

"Never seen anything made?"

"I saw my mother make a cake when I was a child. "

He laughed. She had made him laugh. An innocent with spirit, eager to learn. His daughter was easily 30 cm taller than Rita Cohen, and fair where she was dark, but otherwise Rita Cohen had begun to remind him of Marie. The good-natured intelligence that would just waft out of her and into the house when she came home from school, full of what she'd learned in class. How she remembered everything. Everything neatly taken down in her notebook and memorised overnight.

"I'll tell you what we're going to do. We're going to take you right through the whole process. Come on. We're going to make you a pair of gloves and you're going to watch them being made from start to finish. What size do you wear?"

QUESTIONS :

46. What was Seymour' s first impression of Rita Cohen?

A. She reminded him of his daughter.

B. She was rather unattractive.

C. She did not look like a research student.

D. She hadn't given much thought to her appearance.

47. What did Seymour's daughter like most about visiting the factory?

A. Watching her father make gloves.

B. Helping to shape the gloves.

C. Making gloves for her school friends.

D. Seeing the brass hands.

48. Seymour says that most tanneries today ______.

A. have been running for over a hundred years

B. still use traditional methods

C. are dependent on older workers

D. are located in very old buildings

49. What does Seymour admire about his father?

A. His educational background.

B. His knowledge of history.

C. His enthusiasm for the business.

D. His skill as a glovemaker,

50. When she was a schoolgirl, Marie ______.

A. was hard-working and enthusiastic

B. was intelligent but lazy

C. easily forgot what she had learned

D. made her parents laugh

Section B

In this section, there is one passage followed by a summary. Read the passage carefully and complete the summary below by choosing one word from the passage for each blank. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.

Day-dreaming Spots

For some of us, coffee shops, pubs or public places where people are moving around are ideal spots for day-dreaming. Or, indeed, somewhere where there is running water, by a river or stream. The constant movement seems to stimulate thought and ideas in a way that perhaps a library or the solitude of a study does not. It may not be possible to hone the finished text sitting around in a noisy cafe,

but the challenge of holding together thoughts against adversity, as

it were, is a great galvanizing force. In the peace of one's home there are even more distractions, like the TV and the phone. People who are not familiar with the creative process may find it hard to accept that places like coffee bars are a source of stimulation. But why certain places and things motivate the creative individual and others do not is difficult to fathom.

Is day-dreaming an innate ability or something that can be taught? While I personally am prepared to accept that inheritance of ability does play a significant role in the process, I am more inclined to

the idea that the environment, and perhaps chance, plays a much greater role. It is said that genius is 10 percent inspiration and 90 percent perspiration. The coffee shop experience bears this out: a place of turmoil to engender the ideas and then back to the nest to flesh them out. The 90 percent is a notional figure. If one looks at the work of the great inventors and artists past or present, one can see that more than 90 percent of perspiration, as it were, went into the execution of their work.

SUMMARY:

Busy places, where there is a lot of movement, are (51) places to day-dream. Such environments help to produce thoughts and ideas. In one's (52) there are even more things to divert one's attention. It

is not clear why the creative individual is (53) by certain places

and things. The question is whether day-dreaming is (54) or can be learned. Inheritance, environment and chance all play a role in the creative process; supposedly only 10 percent is the result of (55) Section C

In this section, there is one passage followed by five questions. Read the passage carefully, and then answer each of the questions in a maximum of 10 words. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.

Girls Are as Competitive as Boys—Just more Subtle Girls are no less competitive than boys, they simply employ more subtle tactics, a study of preschoolers suggests. While boys use head-on aggression to get what they want, girls rely on the pain of social exclusion.

To test the apparent differences in how very young children compete, Joyce Benenson at Emmanuel College in Boston, Massachusetts, and her colleagues divided 87 four-year-olds into same-sex groups of three. In successive trials, each trio received either one, two or three highly prized animal puppets.

The sexes behaved similarly when there were two or three puppets to go around. The differences became clear, though, when there was just one puppet for each group.

Boys tended to ask for the puppet, grab at it, or even chase the child who had it. In contrast, girls punished the puppet-holder by excluding her from their clique, whispering behind her back or even hiding from her.

Avoiding Risks

Benenson says that these socially aggressive tactics may explain why girls exhibit greater jealousy over same- sex friendships than boys. They could be trying to protect themselves against exclusive coalitions.

Melissa Emery Thompson at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, praises the study for creating "organic yet controlled situations in which the children' s natural behaviour emerges spontaneously".

She says the results help to dispel the myth that females are the less competitive sex. Even at an early age, they avoid risky direct aggression in favour of subtler forms of competition, such as small shifts in tone and expression, or spreading turnouts.

Emery Thompson says that these differences also explain why human males tend to cooperate more effectively in groups while many females "work well in pairs and tend to maintain only a few close relationships. "

QUESTIONS:

56. What does "Girls are no less competitive than boys" mean?

57. What happened when each same-sex group had two or three puppets?

58. "Grab at the puppet, or even chase the child who had it." What is this kind of behaviour called in the passage7

59. What are the two words used to describe the competitive tactics of boys and girls respectively?

60. In which situation in this study did boys work better than girls?

Section D

In this section, there is one passage followed by five incomplete sentences. Read the passage carefully, and then complete each sentence in a maximum of 10 words. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.

Choosing university majors has become the top concern among new high school graduates as they await the results of the National College Entrance Exams.

Every year, millions of students crowd into a few so-called "hot" majors in the hopes of getting a better job after graduation, but the latest survey shows that the connection is far from guaranteed, China Youth Daily reposed on Monday.

The survey, conducted by consulting firm MyCOS, showed that supply exceeding demand is a common phenomenon among the hottest majors in China. The ten undergraduate majors with the highest number of unemployed graduates are called "hot" majors.

The results of the survey show that 33 percent of the unemployed recent graduates took one of the ten hottest majors in college. According to the survey, the average employment rate of college graduates is 91 percent six months after graduation, but the rate of employment for many who took the so-called hot majors doesn't reach

this level. Among law graduates, for example, the employ- ment rate

is only 86 percent.

Dr Wang Boqing of MyCOS thinks that enrollment levels in hot courses are the main reason for the imbalance. Most of the students didn't have employment plans before choosing their majors, and relied on limited suggestions from their teachers and parents. These

students didn't have enough information to make the best choice, Wang said.

Another survey shows that the majority of students (56.7 percent) choose majors with their parents, 20 percent discuss their plans with teachers, and another 15.9 percent decide on their own. Only 7.4 percent made a decision with the help of aptitude tests, which are popular in Western countries as a means of guiding students into

taking appropriate professional paths.

Careless choices lead to dissatisfaction among graduates. A

survey by zhaopin, corn shows that 52 percent of respondents wish

they had chosen a different major, and 34 percent want to take up additional majors. Only 14 percent say they don't regret their choices.

However, the situation is becoming brighter. Along with increased guidance at school, students can also find the information they need on the Internet as more Web sites begin offering course selection

tips and related employment information.

Wang said colleges, too, need to adapt their courses to fit the changing socioeconomic structure and cap enrollment in certain programmes.

QUESTIONS:

61. To most new high school graduates, the hotter a major is in university, ______.

62. According to the survey by MyCOS, what is very common for the so-called hottest majors in China is that supply ______.

63. According to the two surveys, most students choose their majors based on ______.

64. To choose appropriate majors, students can take ______.

65. To satisfy the needs of society, colleges are advised to

______.

Part IV Cloze

Read the following passage and fill in each blank with one word. Choose the word in either of the following two ways: use the correct form of the given word, or according to the given letters of the word. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.

Education Issues

Sara

I'm a teacher of French and Spanish, and I think foreign languages are one of the areas where it's good to be creative. Young people need to learn foreign languages by sp (66) them and doing fun activities like role-plays instead of just doing written exercises.

Of course there is some hard work in learning a language, like trying to remember all those tenses of v (67) , but I think it's a good idea to try to make classroom activities as enj (68) as possible.

Nick

I left school four years ago, and looking back, one thing I'd say about the education system is that there are too many ex (69) Instead of being able to enjoy learning about something, you're always wo (70) about when the next test is, what questions are going to be on it,

and whether or not you're going to p (71) I also think there should

be fewer compulsory sub (72) . I had to study physics until I was 16 but I never had any interest in it, and I've now forgotten everything I learned. It seems like a w (73) of time.

Robert

As a teacher for more than thirty years, I think these days

there's too much emphasis on letting young people "express themselves" in the cl (74) , and not enough emphasis on discipline. Most of my col (75) have problems with pupils who are always (76) (mess) around in lessons. These kids don't res (77) the teachers or the other pupils, and we shouldn't have to put up with them—it

should be easier to suspend or expel them if they don't behave.

Diane

These days you see so many young people who can't seem to write anything, not even a short email, without lots of spelling and (78) (punctuate) mistakes. When I was at school the education system used

to con (79) on reading, writing and maths—and sometimes, as a Pa (80) of young children myself, I worry that we've now moved too far away from that.

Part V Translation

Section A

Translate the underlined sentences of the following passage into Chinese. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.

There Is No Job more Important than Parenting

By Benjamin Carson

My belief began when I was just a kid. I dreamed of becoming a doctor.

My mother was a domestic servant. (81) Through her work, she observed that successful people spent a lot more time reading than they did watching television. She announced that my brother and I could only watch two to three pre-selected TV programmes during the week. In our free time, we had to read two books each from the

Detroit Public Library and submit to her written book reports. She would mark them up with check marks and highlights. Years later we realised her marks were a ruse. My mother was illiterate; she had only received a third-grade education.

(82) Although we had no money, between the covers of those books,

I could go anywhere, do anything and be anybody.

When I entered high school I was an A-student, but not for long.

I wanted the fancy clothes. I wanted to hang out with the guys. I went from being an A-student to a B-student to a C- student, but I didn't care. I was getting the high fives and the low fives and the pats on the back. I was cool.

One night my mother came home from working her multiple jobs and I complained about not having enough Italian knit shirts. She said, "Okay, I'll give you all the money I make this week scrubbing floors and cleaning bathrooms, and you can buy the family food and pay the bills. With everything left over, you can have all the Italian knit shirts you want. "

I was very pleased with that arrangement but once I got through allocating money, there was nothing left. (83) I realised my mother was a financial genius to be able to keep a roof over our heads and any kind of food on the table, much less buy clothes.

(84) I also realised that immediate gratification wasn't going to get me anywhere. Success required intellectual preparation.

I went back to my studies and became an A-student again, and eventually I fulfilled my dream of becoming a doctor.

(85) My story is really my mother's story—a woman with little formal education or worldly goods who used her position as a parent to change the lives of many people around the globe. There is no job more important than parenting. This I believe.

Part III Reading Comprehension

Section A

46.C 第一段提到Seymour见到Miss Rita Cohen时对她的印象为She was so tiny,so young that he could barely believe that she was at the University of Pennsylvania,doing research…for her master's degree., 因此C项为最佳答案。

47.D 第三段提到Seymour的女儿Marie参观工厂时最喜欢看的地方是the laying-off table,而在这里,她对the brass hands深深着迷,并称之为the "pancake hands", 故D项为正确答案。

48.B 在第九段中Seymour提到制革厂(the tannery)是最原始的地方,是保存下来的最古老的工厂,那里的景象几百年没改变过,甚至六千年前的Turkey制作法现在还能找得到其遗迹。从Seymour的话中我们可得知现在的制革厂使用的仍然是传统工艺与制作方法。

49.C 第九段后半部分中,Seymour提到他的父亲时说他一旦说起手套就有两天两夜都说不完的话,是典型的热爱自己的行业以及一切相关东西的手套制造者,由此可以推断他父亲对于自己的行业有很高的热情。其它选项的内容文中并未提及。

50.A 倒数第二段提到Marie每次放学回到家里时就会把在学校学到的东西展示出来,她记忆力很强,她在笔记本上工工整整地记下所有的东西并且当晚背过,由此可见她对学习充满了热情,并且很用功。

Section B

51.ideal

(文章第一句话提到像咖啡屋、酒吧或公共场所等人们到处走动的地方是做白日梦的ideal spots(理想场所)。spot地点。)

52.home

(第一段提到In the peace of one's home there are even more distractions, …, 而distractions正是things that divert one's attention,所以本题答案为home。)

53.motivated/stimulated

(第一段最后一句提到But why certain places and things motivate the creative individual and others do not is difficult to fathom., fathom看穿,测量,彻底了解。"is difficult to fathom" 即是 "is not clear"。)

54.innate

(由第二段第一句话提到的Is day-dreaming an innate ability or something that can be taught?可知答案为innate。can be taught可后天习得的。innate天生的,固有的。)

55.inspiration

(第二段提到It is said that genius is 10 percent inspiration and 90 percent perspiration,意为:天才是靠百分之一的灵感与百分之九十九的苦汗,所以答案为inspiration。)

Section C

56.It means girls are just as competitive as boys.

(no less than和…一样,不亚于,意思相当于as…as。)

57.They (the boys and girls)behaved similarly.

(由第三段第一话The sexes behaved similarly when there were two or three puppets to go around. 可得出答案。)

58.(Head-on) Aggression.

(由第四段可知题干中描述的是男孩子们争夺东西时的行为,而第一段中提到男孩们惯用head-On aggression来得到他们想要的东西,所以答案为(Head-on) Aggression。)

59.Direct and subtle.

(文中在描述女孩的竞争策略时多次提到subtle,而男孩们的行为方式正与之相反,倒数第二段中也提到了女孩avoid risky direct aggression in favour of subtler forms of competition, 即男孩们的竞争策略是direct aggression。)

60.When they worked in groups.

(最后一段中提到Emery Thompson说这些区别也正解释了在人类社会中为什么作为组员男性比女性能更加有效地合作,可以推测,正是男孩们在试验中表现的很有团队合作精神才会让他得出如此结论。)

Section D

61.the better job they will get after graduation

(第二段第一句提到每年有数百万的学生挤进少数几种所谓的热门专业中,希望毕业后能找份好工作,由此可推测,在他们心中,专业越热门,毕业后找到的工作就越好。)

62.exceeds demand

(由第三段第一句话The survey, conducted by consulting firm MyCOS, showed that supply exceeding demand is a common phenomenon among the hottest majors in China. 可知答案。)

63.suggestions from their parents

(第六段指出大多数学生(56.7%)与父母一起选择专业,也就是说大多数学生在选择专业时会参考父母的意见。)

64.aptitude tests

(第六段最后一句话指出aptitude tests作为一种指导学生选择合适的职业道路的方法在西方国家很受欢迎。aptitude tests智力测验,才能试验。) 65.adapt their courses and cap enrollment in some

majors/programmes

(参见最后一段。)

Part IV Cloze

66.speaking

(学外语的方法中除写作练习外,还有角色模仿和“听说读”,又因为by

为介词,后跟名词或名词性词组,所以此处填speaking最恰当。) 67.verbs

(tenses of verbs动词的时态。)

68.enjoyable

(enjoyable有趣的,愉快的。)

69.exams

(后面一句提到你总是要担心下次考试是什么时候,会考些什么题,能不能通过等问题,由此可知此句要表达的是教育系统中有太多的测试了。) 70.worried/worrying

(instead of不是…而是,连接两个意思相反的词或短语,因此此处的意

义要与enjoy相反。本句中的are既可以看做是一般现在进行时的标志,也可以看做是短语be worried about的一部分,所以两种答案都对。) 71.pass

(考试前学生通常会担心会不会及格的问题。)

72.subjects

(后面一句提到直到16岁前Nick都不得不学习物理,但他从未对其感兴趣过,并且现在已将所学的全部忘光了,由此可推知此处他认为应该少一些必修科目,如物理。)

73.waste

(花费多年的时间来学习一门自己不喜欢的课程,并且学完很快又忘了,这是一种时间的浪费。)

74.classroom

(本段中“我”是老师,相对而言,“young people”就是指学生,因此无论是强调让他们充分表达自己还是强调纪律都是针对在课堂上或在教室里而言的,“在课堂上”英语表达为in class。)

75.colleagues

(由have problems with pupils可知本句主语为老师,而“我”本身也是老师,所以他们应该是“我”的同事。colleague同事。)

76.messing

(此从句是主动语态,所以are应为一般现在进行时的标志。mess around 浪费时间。)

77.respect

(孩子上课时不守纪律或者浪费时问是对老师和其他学生的不尊重。)

78.punctuation

(punctuation标点符号。)

79.concentrate

(eoneentrate on专注于,重视。)

80.parent

(与chilldren相对应的是父母。注意前面有冠词a,不要写成parents。) Part V Translation

Section A

81.她(我母亲)在工作中观察到成功人士花大量时间读书,而不是看电视。

W: So, did you have a good trip back from Bangkok, Kenny? M: Yeah, not bad. The plane left on time for a change, but the stopover in Singapore was left an hour longer than scheduled, and then we took a long time to land ... Actually, I would walk out of customs two hours ago. W: En... , I thought you were only an hour late! 4. M: Now, I’m going to start off by asking you a difficult question.

全国大学生英语能力竞赛资料

2016年全国大学生英语能力竞赛攻略 学长分享英语竞赛技巧: 知己知彼百战不殆”,要想在全国大学生英语竞赛中取得好成绩,平时的积累是基础,而考前对考试的研究和分析以及练习则是升华。近几年来英语竞赛也在不断调整中。对我们来说,最重要的参考资料就是当年的竞赛样题,和官网的考试说明文件,从中我们可以了解到考试的题型、分值、时间分配、难度和新变化。只有这样我们才能对症下药,合理分配考试时间,获得最好的成绩。其实考试,一言以蔽之,就是尽量的规定时间内拿到最高的分数,分数越高,就意味着你越成功。由于每年试题结构、题型等都会有所变化,下面就以2010年的英语竞赛初赛试题为例,分析一下时间安排。今年初赛试题共分为七部分,时间120分钟,满分150分。七部分分别为听力、词汇与语法结构、完形填空、阅读理解、翻译、智力测试和写作。下面就分别进行分析。 第一部分是听力,由四部分组成,第一部分是五篇短对话,然后是两篇长对话,第三部分是五篇短新闻,第四部分是听写式填空。总分是30分,总的来说,听力的难度不算很大,应该是介于四、六级之间,大部分都可以直接从对话中找到原句和答案。但是还是有一定难度的。首先,前20道选择题都只读一遍,这和一般的考试不同,所以对选手就提出了更高的要求,必须从一开始就高度集中注意力,才能不遗漏重要信息。此外,听写式填空也是对基本知识的一个考查,经常有同学听到了却不会写,这需要我们打好自己的基础。这一部分要力争拿到20分以上。 第二部分是词汇与语法结构,这也是对“双基”知识的一个考查,可以说基本上是考查基本功的,当然我们也要注意,这其中对话类的应用题目也呈逐年上升的趋势。总分15分,官方建议完成时间是十分钟。这一部分要力争拿到10分以上。 第三部分是完形填空,也是我认为全卷除了智力测试以外最难的题目,题型包括根据上下文填空、根据给出的首字母填空、根据给出的单词的适当形式填空。分值是十分,官方建议完成时间是10分钟。这题不仅考查你的基本词汇语法知识,也考查你对文章的理解和把握。可以说是阅读+词汇的结合。要拿高分很难,但是其实还是有一些分好拿的,这一部分我们要力争拿到4分以上。 第四部分是阅读理解,总分40分,官方建议完成时间是25分钟。这是全卷分值最大的一道大题,也是时间最紧的。我估计绝大多数同学在25分钟内都没办法全部完成(我也很勉强)。这一部分我觉得最重要的还是把握文章的开头和结尾,了解主旨,然后根据题目去快速定位,因为这里的题目大部分都是在原文可以找到答案的。这一部分阅读量大、题型多样(包括选择题、问答题、是/否/未提及题,摘抄题、填空题等)、也是对同学英语应用能力的有力考查,还是要熟能生巧,在平时多加练习,力争达到又对又快的境界,这一部分要力争拿到25分以上。 第五部分是翻译,包括英译汉和汉译英两部分。共20分,官方建议完成时间是15分钟。这一部分可以说是全卷最简单的题型,考查的内容都没超过四级甚至是平常练习的难度,对英译汉,还是要花点时间看看文章开头和结尾,“磨刀不误砍柴工”,很多翻译都要根据上下文进行,才能更加的到位。有时在翻译中遇到生词,也可以根据上下文进行推断。比如今年的汉译英试题中多次提到“dropout”这个单词,我考试时也忘了这是什么意思,最后还是通过文章最后
