注意:此部分试题请在答题卡1上作答。

Less than 60% of students now entering four-year American colleges are likely to graduate. The 26 rate is lower than for almost any other wealthy country, and worst for poor and minority students. A new book about America?s public universities explores the complex causes of the high 27 . The book is called Crossing the Finish Line. President Obama wants the United States to again have the world?s highest 28 of college graduates by 2020. On Tuesday the president gave a 29 broadcast speech to students about the importance of staying in school. He spoke on the first day of classes at a high school in Virginia. He talked about personal 30 , and used himself as an example of someone who 31 difficulties. But he told students that problems in their own lives should not stop them from learning. But marry conservatives 32 plans for the speech. Some called it “socialized education” or federal interference in local schools. Others 33 it would be too political, so some schools decided not to show the speech. On Sunday, Education Secretary Arne Duncan said 30% of students do not graduate from high school. According to him, more than a million students every year who entered ninth grade do not complete twelfth grade. The education secretary called the 34 the president?s speech “silly.” It suggested that students write letters to themselves about what they can do to help the president. But after conservatives objected, the 35 was changed to writing about personal goals.

Part II Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)

Section A

Directions: In this section，there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage .Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.

You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.

Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage.

The Web sitting around sometimes is seemed as the Siren specter that lures us into sitting around like some species of houseplant while our trunk grows abnormally wide. Its 36 enticements keep us from doing what we know we should, like, say, making any movement whatsoever or 37 foods that do not come packaged in Styrofoam(泡沫塑料).

But according to a new research, the Internet can also be something else: a place for helping people keep weight off.

The new study, 38 over a two-and-a-half-year period, found that the more often people logged on to a website, the more likely they were to 39 weight loss. Of course, it wasn?t just any old website, but one that investigators at the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research (KPCHR) had designed 40 to help people keep the pounds off.

What made the website work was its mixture of accountability(责任)and 41 . Users asked to log in once a week to 42 their weight and the amount of exercise they?d done. If they didn't log in regularly, they got a little nudge by e-mail, then a(n) 43 phone call. Once on the site, users could chat with other 44 of the study in a kind of mini-Facebook setting.

The site was designed to mimic as much as possible what it's like to be in a weight-loss program that offers 45 counseling and group meetings. It wasn't quite as effective as human-to-human interaction, but it was better than nothing at all.

M) specifically N) warning O) participants

Section B

Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.

Happiness and Sadness

A) Happiness and sadness are two most basic and familiar feelings for human beings. Recently, people have achieved further understanding about them.

Happiness

B) University of Illinois, psychologist Ed Diener, who has studied happiness for a quarter century, was in Scotland recently, explaining to members of Parliament and business leaders the value of increasing traditional measures of a country's wealth with a national index of happiness. Such an index would measure policies known to increase people's sense of well-being, such as democratic freedoms, access to health care and the rule of law.

C) Eric Wilson tried to get with the program. Urged on by friends, he bought books on how to become happier. He made every effort to smooth out his habitual worried look and wear a sunny smile, since a happy expression can lead to genuinely happy feelings. Wilson, a professor of English at Wake Forest University, took up jogging, reputed to boost the brain's supply of joyful neuro-chemicals, and began his conversations with "Great!”and "Wonderful!”，the better to exercise his capacity for enthusiasm.

D)However, some scientists are releasing the most-extensive-ever study comparing moderate and extreme levels of happiness, and finding that being happier is not always better. In surveys of 118519 people from 96 countries, scientists examined how various levels of subjective well-being matched up with income, education, political participation, volunteer activities and close relationships. They also analyzed how different levels of happiness, as reported by college students, correlated with various outcomes. Even allowing for imprecision in people?s self-reported sense of well-being, the results were unambiguous. The highest levels of happiness go along with the most stable, longest and most contented relationships. That is, even a little discontent with your partner can cause you to look around for someone better, until you are at best a serial monogamist(一夫一妻论者)and at worst never in a

loving, stable relationship.

E)Nevertheless, “once a moderate level of happiness is achieved, further increases can sometimes be harmful to income, career success, education and political participation”，Diener and colleagues write in the journal Perspectives on Psychological Science. On a scale from 1 to 10, where 10s is extremely happy, 8s is more successful than 9s and 10s, getting more education and earning more That probably reflects the fact that people who are somewhat discontented, but not so depressed as to be paralyzed, are more motivated to improve both their own lot (thus driving themselves to acquire more education and seek ever-more-challenging jobs) and the lot of their community (causing them to participate more in civic and political life). In contrast, people at the top of the jolliness charts feel no such urgency. “If you're totally satisfied with your life and with how things are going in the world,” says Diener, “you don?t feel very motivated to wo rk for change. Be wary when people tell you that you should be happier.”

Sadness

F) The drawbacks of constant, extreme happiness should not be surprising, since negative emotions evolved for a reason. Fear tips us off to the presence of danger, for instance. Sadness, too, seems to be part of our biological inheritance. Wilson argues that only by experiencing sadness can we experience the fullness of the human condition. He also asserts that “the happy man is a hollow man,” but he is hardly the first scholar to see melancholia(忧郁症)as inspiration. A classical Greek text, possibly written by Aristotle, asks, “Why is it that all those who have become outstanding in philosophy or politics or poetry or the arts are clearly melancholic?” Wilson?s answer is that “the blues can be a catalyst(催化剂)for a special kind of genius, a genius for exploring dark boundaries between opposites.” The ever-restless, the chronically discontent, are dissatisfied with the status quo, be it in art or literature or politics.

G)For all their familiarity, these arguments are nevertheless being crushed by the happiness movement. Last August, the novelist Mary Gordon lamented to The N ew York Times that “among writers. . . what is absolutely not allowable is sadness. People will do anything rather than to acknowledge that they are sad.” And, Jess Decourcy Hinds, an English teacher, recounted how, after her father died, friends pressed her to distract herself from her profound sadness and sense of loss. “Why don?t people accept that after a parent?s death, there will be years of grief?” she wrote. “Everyone wants mourners to …snap out of it? because observing another?s distress isn?t easy.”

H)It?s hard to say exactly when ordinary Americans, no less than psychiatrists(精神病学家)，began insisting that sadness is pathological(病态的). But by the end of the millennium that attitude was well established. In 1999，Arthur Miller?s Death of a Salesman was revived on Broadwa y 50 years after its premiere. A reporter asked two psychiatrists to read the script. Their diagnosis: Willy Loman was suffering from clinical depression, a pathological condition that could and should be treated with drugs. Miller was appalled. “Loman is not a depressive,” he told The New York Times. “He is weighed down by life. There are social reasons for why he is where he is.” What society once viewed as an appropriate reaction to failed hopes and dashed dreams, it now regards as a psychiatric illness. I)As NYU?s Wakefield and Allan Horwitz of Rutgers University point out in The Loss of Sadness, this message has its roots in the bible of mental illness, The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Its definition of a “major depressive episode” is remarkably broad. You must experience five not-uncommon symptoms, such as insomnia(失眠), difficulty concentrating and feeling sad or empty, for two weeks; the symptoms must cause distress or impairment, and they cannot be due to the death of a loved one. Anyone meeting these criteria is supposed to be treated.

J)When someone is appropriately sad, friends and colleagues offer support and sympathy. But by labeling appropriate sadness pathological, “we have attached a stigma to being sad,” says Wakefield, “with the result that depression tends to elicit hostility and rejection” with an undercurrent of “Get over it; take a pill.” The normal range of human emotion is not being tolerated. “We don't know how drugs react with normal sadness and its functions, such as reconstituting your life out of the pain,” says Wakefield. Those psychiatrists also express doubts to medicalise the sadness.

Section C

Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some statements. For each of then there are four choices marked A)，B)，C)and D) the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a centre.

Passage One

Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.

A circle of close friends and strong family ties can increase a person?s health more than exerc ise, losing weight or quitting cigarettes and alcohol, psychologists say. Sociable(好交际的)people seem to reap extra rewards from their relationships by feeling less stressed, taking better care of themselves and having less risky lifestyles than those who are more isolated.

A review of studies into the impact of relationships on health found that people had a 50% better survival rate if they belonged to a wider social group, be it friends, neighbors, relatives or a mix of these. The striking impact of social connections on welfare has led researchers to call on GPs(社区全科医生)and health officials to take loneliness as seriously as other health risks, such as alcoholism(酗酒)and smoking.

“We take relationships for granted as humans,” said Julianne Holt-Lunstad, a psychologist at Brigham Young University in Utah. “That constant interaction is not only beneficial psychologically but directly to our physical health.” Holt-Lunstad?s team reviewed 148 studies that tracked the social interactions and health of 308 849 people over an average of 7.5 years. From these they worked out how death rates varied depending on how sociable a person was. Being lonely and isolated was as bad for a person's health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day or being an alcoholic. It was as harmful as not exercising and twice as bad for the health as being fat. The study is reported in the journal Plos Medicine.

Holt-Lunstad said friends and family can improve health in numerous ways, from help in tough times to finding meaning in life. “When someone is connected to a group and feels responsibility to other people, that sense of purpose and meaning translates to taking better care of themselves and taking fewer risks.”

Holt-Lunstad said there was no clear figure on how many relationships are enough to boost a person?s health, but people fared(过活)better when they rarely felt lonely and were close to a group of friends, had good family contact and had someone they could rely on and trust.

B) Being an alcoholic. D) Being fat.

60. According to Holt-Lunstad, how many friends can help to improve our health?

A) A circle of friends. C) No definite numbers.

B) The more the better. D) More than five.

Passage Two

Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.

Housing officials say that lately they are noticing something different: students seem to lack the will, and skill, to address these ordinary conflicts. “We have students who are mad at each other and they text each other in the same room,” says a teacher. “So many of our roommate conflicts are because kids don't know how to negotiate a problem”

And as any pop psychologist will tell you, bottled emotions lead to silent seething(不满)that can boil over into frustration and anger. At the University of Florida, emotional outbursts occur about once a week, the university's director of housing and residence education says. “It used to be: `Let's sit down and talk about it,”，he says. “Over the past five years, roommate conflicts have intensified. The students don't have the person-to-person discussions and they don't know how to handle them” The problem is most dramatic among freshmen; housing professionals say they see improvement as students move toward graduation, but some never seem to catch on, and they worry about how such students will deal with conflicts after college.

Administrators speculate that reliance on cellphones and the Internet may have made it easier for young people to avoid uncomfortable encounters. Why express anger in person when you can vent in a texts Facebook creates even more friction as complaints go public. “Things are posted on someone's wall on Facebook: …Oh, my roommate kept me up all night studying,?”，says Dana Pysz, an assistant director in the office of residential life at the University of California, Los Angeles. “It?s a different way to expre ss their conflict to each other.” In recent focus groups at North Carolina State University, dorm residents said they would not even confront noisy neighbors on their floor.

Administrators point to parents who h ave fixed their children?s problems their entire lives. Now in college, the children lack the skills to attend to even modest conflicts. Some parents continue to intervene on campus.

Agricultural experts have launched a land and water management project in the world. The project seeks to increase food 26 in dry areas. Researchers say the water availability in some of the areas has dropped well below the 27 recognized standard. Many countries are taking part in the project. It is part of a larger ten-year effort called the Water and Livelihoods Initiative. The project is also expected to increase 28 for farmers in the areas. The United States Agency for International Development provided one million dollars for the Water and Livelihoods Initiative. Scott Christianson is an agricultural development 29 with USAID. He helped develop project while working for the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas. He says the countries taking part in the project were all carefully 30 . Scott Christian son: “They all share a socio-economic and cultural 31 that's fairly homogeneous. We feel that it's going to 32 our opportunity for trading of knowledge that we will 33 in the project.” Research by the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas and its partners has already 34 to be successful. New irrigation methods are expected to double wheat production while using one-third of the water 35 full irrigation.

Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage.

Several years ago, I learned that a physician in a town not too far from where I was practicing had committed suicide. Neither I nor my hospital colleagues knew him, but 36 to the story we heard, he was the father of young children, was respected by doctors and 37 alike and had struggled privately with mental illness since medical school.

But it was not the details of his life that haunted us; it was the details of his 38. He had locked himself in a room in the hospital, placed a large needle in his vein and 39 himself with a drug that so effectively paralyzed his muscles he was unable to breathe or call for help.

For days afterward，the doctor?s death came up 40 in conversations. We talked about the grief his family must have been experiencing and speculated (猜测) on the extent of depression he must have experienced, but we dared not speak of, let alone imagine, the 41 of his final moments.

Always, we ended up asking one another the same question: How could a doctor —who most

likely knew about what he was suffering from and about the treatments available一never 42 help?

For several decades now, studies have consistently shown that physicians have higher rates of suicide than the 43 population. While research has 44 the beginning of this tragic difference to the years spent in medical school, the 45 factors remain uncertain.

Section B

Preparing for More Expensive Degrees in England

A) Balancing a tight budget is one of the most difficult aspects of being a student. A recent survey

from the European Council of Doctoral Candidates and Junior Researchers found that money issues are the most critical concerns for young researchers in Europe, ahead of working conditions, training, and supervision.

B) Starting in 2012, money is likely to become an even more important concern for students as

universities in England are allowed to charge undergraduates up to ￡ 9 000 per year in tuition fees as a way of dealing with government funding cuts. That?s a nea rly threefold increase from the current fees, which are capped at ￡ 3 375.

C) The funding cuts are set to affect postgraduate education, too, with most English universities

expected to increase postgraduate tuition to cover any remaining shortfall. Just how severe the changes will be for postgraduates is uncertain, but many experts advise caution. “All universities are trying to encourage students to think more seriously about how they?re going to manage，” says Sheila King, financial support coordinator at Cardiff University in Wales. So, what do students need to know about the changes?

Details and debt

D) The details are complicated. Universities in Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales will be allowed

to raise tuition to the same extent as in England, but in those places the new fees will apply only to students coming from the rest of the United Kingdom. For example, Scottish students do not currently pay tuition and will not be expected to do so after 2012—unless they attend universities in England, Wales, or Northern Ireland.

E) A further inequity is that under EU regulations, universities must charge students from the rest of

the European Union the same amount as home students. This means that fees for EU students will be heavily subsidized (补贴）by universities in Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales (but not England), while English students in these three countries will pay more than EU students attending the same universities.

F) Whatever the tuition bill, full-time undergraduates in England will have to either pay up front or

apply for a loan from the government, which they need not begin paying back until they have completed their degree and are earning more than ￡ 21 000 per year. Full-time undergraduates can apply, in addition, for a maintenance loan to contribute to accommodation, food, and travel costs.

Part-time students will be able to apply for a tuition loan but not a maintenance loan.

G) The main concern of career advisers and student-support workers is the substantial debt that most

students in England will face after graduation. For a standard 3-year degree charged at ￡9 000 per year—science courses are among the most expensive to run—the average debt from student loans, including maintenance, is expected to be around ￡43 000. The British Medical Association estimates that medical students could graduate more than ￡70 000 in debt.

The benefits of part-time work

H) One way of dealing with the new financial burden would be to work part time. According to the

2010 Sodexo University Lifestyle Survey, more than one-quarter of all undergraduate students in the United Kingdom worked part time during their studies that year—a percentage that is now expected to rise. For those doing a second undergraduate degree, a job may be the only option, as they will not be eligible for government loans.

I) Juggling part-time work and studies can be tough—but a job or paid internship can have benefits

beyond the financial. “There is a recognition and a demand for students to be as employable as possible when they finish their degree, and part of that is gaining relevant work experience，” King says. “My internships helped me during my master?s as I had already had 3 months of experience using different equipment and writing a lab book,” says Mike Stock, who began a Ph. D. in geology this year after doing internships with the Atomic Weapons Establishment, the international oil and natural gas company Petro-Canada, and a research assistantship at the University of Southampton.

Planning for postgraduate studies

J) Ongoing uncertainty over the impact of the funding cuts means that many universities haven?t yet set their postgraduate charges for 2012. According to a recent National Survey of UK Tuition Fees, the average cost of a taught master?s degree program across 147 UK higher education institutions rose 24% in just 1 year, from ￡ 4 989 in 2010-2011 to the current ￡6 184. The fee is expected to increase even more dramatically in 2012. “Ultimately, the decision on pos tgraduate fees will depend on calculations about what they need to do to survive as a university,” says a University of Southampton Student Services representative who prefers not to be named.

K) In the United Kingdom, approximately 19 000 Ph. D. s are partly or fully funded by the research councils. Universities and industry partners also offer funded postgraduate positions and a range of bursaries (助学金）, scholarships, and awards. However, many universities are now unsure how many positions they will be able to support in 2012. This could leave some Ph. D. students struggling for funding, since the government does not provide loans to support postgraduate study.

One view held by careers specialists is that an increasingly competitive job market, paired with difficult economic times, might encourage more students to pursue postgraduate degrees. “If there are fewer funding opportunities available for postgraduate study and more applicants, each available posit ion will become very competitive,” says the Southampton University Student Services representative.

L) This makes it all the more important for aspiring postgraduate students to seek funding early, especially if they have financial commitments such as a mortgage (抵押）or a family. One approach is to apply for funding as broadly as possible. “After my undergraduate degree in mathematics, I was awarded a ￡ 4 000 scholarship from the Society for Underwater Technology,”

says Graeme MacGilchrist, who began a Master of Science in oceanography this year. As UK students brace for tough times, the key message from career advisers and student representatives is that students can ease the situation by starting to plan now. “We can?t do anything about t he level of fees, but we can do something to help students help themselves,” M King says.

Section C

Directions：There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.

Passage One

Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a married woman in possession of a large fortune will probably spend most of it on her husband and children. That seems to be the conclusion of a study by the Pew Research Center in Washington D. C., of the lives of Americans aged 30-44, those most likely to have young families. Whereas in earlier generations marriage allowed women to achieve economic security, now, it appears, men are more likely to benefit.

The root cause is the spread of women?s highe r education. For the first time in American history there are more female than male college graduates among this age group. In contrast, in 1970, almost twice as many men as women in this group, 30-44, had college degrees. The result is that in the half of households where one partner has more education, it is now more likely to be the wife who has more. In 1970, it was usually the husband.

Income tends to rise with education, and women?s earnings have risen relative to men?s at every level of schooling. Me n?s income is still, on average, higher, but women have been narrowing the gap and adding more to household earnings. A few wives contributed more than their men: in 1970 only 4% earned more than their husbands: in 2007 22% did.

That represented a rise in social mobility. But with it went an apparent decline in another aspect of mobility: more people seem to be marrying within their education and income bracket, especially at the top. The best educated and highest-earning husbands in 2007 were more likely to have the highest- income wives than was the case in 1970. At the bottom of the education heap, too, men are less likely to have wives who earn a lot. Forty years ago, half of husbands who dropped out of high school had wives who earned more than the average for women: now just 30% do.

That is an exception to the rule that, as the report says, “the economic gains from marriage have accrued (逐渐增力) more to men than to women.” But there is one other way in which the growing economic clout (权势) of women increases their power within marriage. According to Pew, in households where the husband earns more, women are still just as likely to make the final decisions regarding household finances: where the wife earns more, she is more than twice as likely to do so.

Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.

Shoppers on Black Friday, the traditional start of the holiday shopping season in America, are notoriously aggressive. Some even start queuing outside stores before dawn to be the first to lay their hands on heavily discounted merchandise. Despite the frenzy at many stores, however, recession appears to have accelerated the pace at which are abandoning bricks and mortar(传统的实体企业)in favor of online retailers-e-tailers. So this year Black Friday also marks the start of many conventional -retailers' attempts to regain the initiative.

E-commerce holds particular appeal in straitened times as it enables people to compare prices across retailers quickly and easily. Buyers can sometimes avoid local sales taxes online, and shipping is often free. No wonder, then, that online shopping continues to grow even as the offline sort shrinks.

The shift in spending to the Internet is good news for companies like P&G that lack retail outlets (经销店)of their own. But it is a big concern for brick-and-mortar retailers, whose prices are often higher than those of e-tailers, since they must bear the extra expense of running stores. Happily, however, conventional retailers are in a better position to fight back than last year, when overstocking forced them to resort to ruinous(破坏性的)discounting.

The most obvious response to the growth of e-tailing is for conventional retailers to redouble their own efforts online. The online arms of big retailers are performing well, on the whole. Retailers are also trying to make shopping seem fun and exciting to counteract the economic gloom. One common tactic is to set up "pop-up" stores, which appear for a short time before vanishing again, to foster a sense of novelty and urgency. Following the lead of many bricks-and-mortar outfits, eBay recently launched a pop-up in New York where customers could inspect items before ordering them.

Stores are also trying to lure customers by offering services that are not available online. Lululemon athletica, which sells sports clothes, offers free yoga classes. Best Buy, a consumer-electronics retailer, has started selling music lessons along with its musical instruments. The idea is to bring people back to its shops regularly, increasing the likelihood that they will develop the habit of shopping there.
