II. Grammar and Vocabulary

Section A

Directions: After reading the passage 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.

Dear Easy,

I wouldn’t put too much stock in what your “literary” friends say; they sound like bores. When it comes down to it, people who think about reading in terms of what “counts” don’t seem to actually enjoy books all that much. Their moralistic (说教的) gloom is evident in the extent (21)_______ _______ reading has come to resemble exercise, with readers tracking their word-count metrics, trying to improve their speed.

(22)_______ some disciples of this culture are quick to dismiss audiobooks as a shortcut, they cannot seem to agree on why, exactly, listening is an inferior form of engagement. Some cite studies that have shown people who listen to books retain less than those who read them, which (23)_______ (bind) up with how tempting it is to do other things while listening. (24)_______ insist that audiobooks eliminate the reader’s responsibility to interpret things like irony, tone, and inflection, given that the person on the recording is doing the work of conveying the emotions in the book for them.

The larger problem, however, is in viewing books as (25) _______ means to some other end. Many people who aspire to read more are motivated by the promise that doing so will prevent cognitive decline, improve brain connectivity. Some assume that the purpose

of reading is (26)_______ (absorb) knowledge or nuggets of trivia that one can use in order to demonstrate being “well read”. I’d be willing to bet, Easy Listening, that your earliest experiences with the joy of literature were aural. Most of us were read to by adults before we learned to read ourselves, and listening to audiobooks recalls the distinctive delight of (27)_______ (tell) a story.

If you’re like mos t people I know, you probably find it difficult to recall the last time a book regardless of (28)_______ you consumed it — succeeded in altering your consciousness, suggesting that many books you’ve encountered have failed to live up to their potential.

My advice, Easy, is to be (29)_______ (discriminating) about the medium and more choosy about the books you pick up. If you find that your mind is wandering or that you’re not able to fully enter into the reality of the narrative, (30)_______ (consider) that this might be a problem with the content, not the mechanism through which you are experiencing it.

Faithfully,

Cloud

Section B

Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one

word more than you need.

struggle roughly major causes AB.charged AC.feature

AD.significantly BC.motives BD.identify CD.potential ABC.ruled The Science Behind Why People Give Money to Charity

This question has fascinated behavioral scientists for decades: why do we give money to charity

The explanations for charitable giving fall into three broad categories, from the purely altruistic(利他的). The “impurely” altruistic — I donate because I obtain value from knowing I contribute to the social good for the charity. And the the not-at-all altruistic — I donate because I want to show off to (31)_______ mates how rich I am.

But are these (32)_______ strong enough to enable people to donate as much as they would want to Most people support charities in one way or another, but often we (33)_______to make donations as often as we think we should. Although many people would like to leave a gift to charity in their will, they forget about it when the time comes. Our research shows that if the will-writer just asks someone if they would like to donate, they are more likely to consider it and the rate of donation (34)_______ doubles.

Many people are also aware that they should donate to the (35)_______ that have the highest impact, but facts and figures are

less attractive than narratives. In a series of experiments, it was found that people are much more responsive to charitable requests that (36)_______ a single, identifiable beneficiary(受益者), than they are to statistical information about the scale of the problem being faced. When it comes to charitable giving, we are often (37)_______ by our hearts and not our heads.

Another of the (38)_______ findings from the research in this area is that giving is fundamentally a social act. One study shows that people give (39)_______ more to their university if the person calling and asking for their donation is their former roommate. Researchers found that when JustGiving donors see that the donor before them has made a large donation, they make a larger donation themselves.

In summary, behavioural scientists (40)_______ a range of factors that influence our donations, and can help us to keep giving in the longer term. This is great news not just for charities, but also for donors.

III. Reading Comprehension

I forgot to pay my property tax last year. Was it a sign of early onset dementia(痴呆) Had I spent last September as an

anti-government tax resister and the entire month of September had (41) ________ my mind Then I realized the real problem: I have notification (42) ________.

My bad decisions and my (45) ________ are to blame. My first error was inviting these pings and beeps into my life decades ago.

But I was eventually (47) ________ transferring all the birthdays from one year’s calendar to the next. The coming of the PalmPilot (掌上电脑) thrilled me: I could enter the info once and, five days before each loved one’s birt hday, the device would automatically inform me of the coming date.

That little PalmPilot was a gateway drug. I eventually (48) ________ my brain to more powerful devices. And for years, generally they

were at a (49) ________ level. Then the pandemic hit and my notification stream became a series of alerts and even alerts for other unimaginable demands of alertness.

Then the other factor (50) ________ kicked in. My actual hearing loss, a genetic gift from my father’s side, started getting worse, turning the world into a series of dull noises. Even with my hearing aids in, maybe I didn’t hear a notification.

Having become deaf to alerts both (51) ________ and metaphorically, I reasoned that enduring a little wrist vibration with every notification would bring me back into being a responsible adult.

“You’re not the boss of me!” I yelled one aftern oon when seven notifications popped up (54) ________. I turned away like a

bad-tempered teen. The solution I’m turning off all notifications and moving my life back to (55) ________. Yes, it will be a tough adjustment. But it will force me to grab responsibility for my daily life back from all the devices.

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 read.

(A)

Around this time last winter, at a gymnasium 45 minutes outside Budapest, I was surprised to come across a group of roughly 30 men and women with wooden axes. They had gathered to practice something called Baranta, perhaps the youngest of the world’s

so-called traditional martial arts.

While they took turns swinging and blocking, one member of the group, a beefy man with a tight, gray, military-style haircut, walked over to where I was standing and began excitedly talking to me in Hungarian. Even with the help of a translator, I had difficulty keeping up with what he was saying. Perhaps sensing this, he pulled out his phone to show me a series of videos, in which several groups of them were practicing Baranta.

The name Baranta, I later learned, originates from an old Hungarian word mea ning, roughly, “to attack.” Today, it refers to a fighting style based on a mixture of Hungarian folk dancing. Mongolian wrestling, and the imagined fighting skills of its practitioners’ ancestors. Kata Babinszki, a student the University of Pécs who is writing an essay on Baranta, told me that the practice dates to the early 1990s. At that time, small groups of Hungarians began plunging into their country’s past, looking back to its history as part of the Austro-Hungarian empire, to its time as a kingdom, and even to the period when Hungarians were horsemen travelling

across the edges of eastern Europe and possibly central Asia. Baranta clubs have formed in most major Hungarian cities and in many smaller villages, Babinszki says. These new “traditionalists”are interested in taking up archery (射箭) and horseback riding and organizing giant “tribal meetings” at which they dress in Mongolian-style felt coats and fur hats.

Though many of these trappings are rooted less in historical fact than in wistful imagination, few Hungarians seem interested in quibbling over their authenticity. “They’re reaching back to a time when our knowledge is very uncertain,” says Vendel Teszler, a professor at E tv s Loránd University, in Budapest, who has studied Hungarian tradition alists. “Nobody can tell them exactly what clothing is historically accurate. Everything can be transformed and created.” Even tradition.

56. Why did the beefy man show the writer a series of videos

A. He was trying to sell the writer these videos.

B. He f ound the writer couldn’t understand his words.

C. He had difficulty translating English into Hungarian.

D. He wanted the writer to know how he practiced Baranta.

57. According to the passage, what happened in the early 1990s

A. Baranta made a comeback in Hungary.

B. Baranta clubs moved from villages to major cities.

C. Some Hungarians began exploring the country’s history.

D. Some Hungarians became interested in Mongolian martial arts.

58. What does the phrase “quibbling over” (in the last paragraph) most probably mean

A. complaining about

B. handing over

C. insisting on

D. engaging in

59. Vendel Teszler is quoted in the last paragraph in order to show _____.

A. tradition changes with time no matter how old it is

B. the history of Hungary remains a mystery to many people

C. wishful imagination appeals more to people than historical fact

D. what traditionalists believe in is likely not to be true to the fact (B)

How to Survive a Disaster

At seven o’clock in the evening of 27 September 1994, the cruise ferry MS Estonia left Tallin with 989 people on board, heading for Stockholm. It never got there. Within an hour it had sunk, taking with it 852 of its passengers and crew. The death toll was so high that it appeared that many people drowned because they did nothing to save themselves. John Leach, a military survival instructor, found that in life-threatening situations, around 75% of people are so bewildered by the situation that they are unable to

think clearly or plot their escape.

Why do so many people die when they need not, when they have the physical means to save themselves Why do so many give up, or fail to adjust to the unfolding crisis In most disaster scenarios, you don't need special skills to survive. You just need to know what you should do.

Emergency exit

We haven’t always had a clear picture of what people really do in emergencies. Engineers designing evacuation procedures used to assume that people respond immediately when they hear an alarm, smell smoke or feel their building shake or their boat begins to list. Yet as cases in recent decades began to show, the real challenge is getting them to move quickly enough. Rather than madness, or an animalistic stampede for the exits, it is often people’s reluctance to panic that puts them at higher risk.

One study found that half of those who survived delayed before trying to escape, making phone calls, tidying things into drawers, locking their office door, going to the toilet, completing emails, shutting down their computer. One woman accustomed to bicycling to work even returned to her office to change into her tracksuit before trying to leave.

Survival mode

The prevailing psychological explanation for these kinds of behaviours is that they are caused by a failure to adapt to a sudden change in the environment.

“In emergencies, quite often events are happening faster than you can process them” explains Leach. The situation outruns our capacity to think our way out of it. This explains why in emergencies people often fail to do things that under normal circumstances would seem obvious. So the only reliable way to shortcut this kind of impaired thinking is by preparing for an emergency in advance. Typically, survivors survive not because they are braver or more heroic than anyone else, but because they are better prepared.

Stronger together

Drury, Cocking and Reicher have documented many examples of collective resilience. Cocking thinks that people’s tendency to cooperate during emergencies increases the chances of survival for everyone.

The chances are you will never find yourself in a disaster situation. But it’s a good idea to imagine that you will: to be aware that there are threats out there, and that you can prepare for them, without sliding into panic. “All you have to do is ask yourself one simple questi on,” says Leach. “If something happens, what is my first

response Once you can answer that, everything else will fall into place. It’s that simple.”

60. What happened to the cruise ferry MS Estonia

A. It sank in an hour after its departure from Tallin.

B. 75% of the people on board were killed in the end.

C. Many were mentally paralyzed facing the disaster.

D. People on board lacked necessary survival facilities.

61.Which of the following behaviors is appropriate when a disaster happens

A. Reminding others by phone

B. Recalling specific survival kills

C. Being brave to help others

D. Responding to the alarm quickly

62.Which of the following is True

A. It is beneficial to imagine the threats to conquer panic when you’re facing a disaster.

B. Preparation ahead of time works best to handle inability to respond to emergency.

C. Emergencies often happen so fast that people can’t think out of the box on the scene.

D.Engineers design evacuation procedures by fully understanding people’s responses.

(C)

Like many historical films, Amadeus is far from a faithful account of

what is known about the period and the people that it portrays. Events are exaggerated and simplified, and the complexity of real characters is reduced to suit the needs of a dramatic contrast between good and evil. Such historical liberties are often complained by experts, but few have seemed to mind the wayward story points of Amadeus. This is no doubt partly attributable to the film’s high entertainment value: it is an unusually lively and funny his torical film. Furthermore, the film’s appeal is also attributable to Mozart’s music.

For all its liberties, the story is actually based on a real rumor that circulated in Vienna in the 1820s. While gravely ill, the rival composer Antonio Salieri (1750-1825) confessed he had murdered Mozart decades earlier by poisoning him. Salieri was suffering from dementia (痴呆) at the time of this confession, and he later withdrew it, but some chose to believe the claim. More than 150 years later, the English playwright Peter Shaffer based the story of Amadeus not just on Salieri’s confession but also the idea that Salieri had suffered from a deep and bitter jealousy of Mozart. In the fun-loving Mozart, the story goes, Salieri saw a true genius —one who made his own talent and accomplishments appear overshadowed — and this drove him on a vendetta (宿怨) that ultimately resulted in murder.

Shaffer’s story makes for great drama biased against Salieri. If Salieri had little reason to fear or resent Mozarfs success, there was naturally a degree of rivalry between two men working in the same profession and in the same city. Salieri and Mozart belonged to separate musical groups, and Italian and German opera fell into and out of favor during this period. The composers were therefore striving for work, including post of musical tutor to the Princess of Wiirttemberg, which Salieri successfully attained, they saw their operas’ debut side by side, yet there is little evidence of any hostility Mozart did complain in a letter to his father that Joseph H favored Salieri over all other that observation was an accurate one. Both Mozart and his father suspected that, behind the scenes, Salieri tried to undermine Mozart’s success, but these were hardly unusual suspicions in a field so reliant on sponsorship. In public, fellow composers reported that Mozart, and Salieri were friendly with another. Shortly after the premiere of Mozart’s The Magic Flute, Salieri attended a performance with Mozart, and applauded warmly and vigorously. Thus, any ill feeling between Mozart and Salieri was borne by the former rather than the latter — contrary to what is strongly depicted in Amadeus — and it stemmed from Salieri’s status and success rather than his perceived averageness.

63. According to the author, Amad eus’s appeal comes from the

following EXCEPT _________.

A. depiction of Mozart’s character

B. actors’ excellent performance

C. a storyline true to history

D. Mozart’s music in the film

64. There was some rivalry between Mozart and Salieri mainly because they _________.

A. lived and worked in the same city

B. competed for musical work and post

C. joined different musical groups

D. suspected each other on some occasions

65. What does the author think of the cause of ill feeling between the two men

A. Mozart’s experience of breaking up with his father.

B. Salieri’s attempt to undermine Mozart’s success.

C. Mozart’s success and status as a musical talent.

D. Salieri’s success and status in the musical circle.

66. Throughout the passage, the author mainly attempts to

_________.

A. correct some distorted details in the film

B. analyze how the film appeals to audience

B. highlight the entertainment value of the film
