题目如下:
1. Directions: There are two passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice. Passage One The Internet is changing the way society communicates, processes information and knowledge. Some of these developments are exciting and challenging, but in one particular sense the Internet creates a fundamental challenge to the way humans interact. Today, Internet dating has become more or less accepted as a way of forming relationships. There has been some criticism, but it has usually been of the functional and operational(操作上的) kind, regarding membership costs or users providing false pictures or information. There has been little thought or comment on why matchmaking websites by itself might be a bad thing. Online matchmaking is conditioned on the idea of making rational choices. Internet dating is like shopping at LoveMart. We watch and read the adverts (people's profiles) and we then, make a rational decision to try the product. The more choices we have, we are told, the better for making the choice. Furthermore, the way dating websites calculate(计算) matches distorts(扭曲) the very core of interpersonal relations. Online seekers of partners and friends rely on computer calculations of a set of hard questions. The questions that many of these websites use are so terrible ("Are you happy with your life? A. Yes, B. No, C. Most of the time") that they cannot reflect real conversations. THIS is not human interaction; it is a fundamental shift. Interpersonal relationships are being shifted into products that can be (supposedly) objectively measured and objectively chosen, even though such relations represent the exact opposite. In his book, Alain Badiou noted love ---this great irrational driver of humanity---has become an object, which people wish to be fully informed about, choose rationally, and not suffer any unexpected disappointments from. It is, as philosopher Slavoj Zizek has noted, like caffeine-free coffee. Some critics have suggested that online dating is taking society back to a pre-modern version of arranged marriages. I would say it is worse. It has taken over the very essence(实质)of what it means to be human. 18. What's known about online dating?
A. It has become the most popular way of forming relationships.
B. It costs no money to become a member online.
C. It provides false pictures and information for users.
D. It is rarely criticized for its own sake(自身缘故).
答案: It is rarely criticized for its own sake(自身缘故).

6. 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. Setting Limits with Friends A) All relationships need limits whether they are friendships, sibling relations, mates/lovers, business relations, etc. On some level, all limit setting means saying no. If you have long-term feelings of resentment(怨恨), anger, manipulation(操纵),being treated as unimportant, etc., you probably need to set some limits in your relationship. There are five steps to limit setting: B) You will tolerate a difficult relationship situation just as long as you choose to tolerate it. You are the one choosing to set boundaries(界线) in place. C) It often takes some real soul-searching on your part to figure out the source of your anger or resentment. D) Think about the entire situation. Consider your time, emotions, and means. Then consider whether you are helping the other person or merely allowing them to avoid or postpone his/her own problem solving. Aim to do something to help the other person without taking on the whole problem. E) For example, you say to your friend, "I will loan you up to $200.00 no more than once every three months. And I expect each loan to be repaid within three months and certainly before you can borrow more." You say to another friend, "You can stay here for three weeks but you must help me with expenses and cooking and definitely find your own place before the three weeks is up." F) You are not responsible for making the other person the limits. You are only responsible for following the limits yourself and for reinforcing them. Your friend has repaid $125.00 of his/her $200.00 loan and asks for $200.00 more. You say no. He/she gets emotional and then says, "Well just loan me the $125.00 again. I need this money to cover a bad check. If you cared for our friendship, you would do it." Again, you say no, not because you don't care for him/her but because you do. You are forcing your friend to detach him/herself from dependence on you because you care. G) Limit setting is difficult because people mistake it for rejection. However, limits mean that you care enough not to get entangled(缠住) in your friend, lover, sibling's problems; you care enough not to take care of him/her. ______11.Stick to your limits. ______12.Choose to set limits. ______13.Express the limits clearly. ______14.Decide where to set the limits. ______15.Identify the source of your feelings. ______16.To set limits with your friends is simply to say no to them. ______17.From a loan to a home stay, the limits with friends are to be set specific. ______18.To care enough not to take care of your friend is to care for his/her independence. ______19.Just because they are your friends does not mean you do not need to set limits with them. ______20.When you say no to your friend, you are actually trying to reject his/her dependence on you.

8. Directions: There are two passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice. Passage One Another incident that drew us closer was our first miscommunication, which resulted from Andy teasing(调侃) me and my taking him seriously and so getting offended. When later sharing details of our relationship with another friend, she first pronounced us best friends. Her explanation? We talked about everything, and we had fights but were still friends. January also ended with another first. I had to concentrate on my studies and, consequently, my emails became sporadic(零星的). I apologized, but Andy reassured me that he understood and, for the first time, used what became a catch phrase(妙语) in our relationship: "The good things in life are worth the wait ... and you are worth the wait." The phrase took on even more meaning as we both awaited the day when we could meet face-to-face and be finally sure of what we had. Fears and hopes mixed in our hearts, as we recognized the changes being in each other's physical presence could forever bring to our friendship. What if we found ourselves unable to communicate, once conversation became visual? What if we didn't like spending time with one another as much as we liked talking with one another? What if we lost the friendship that had sustained us for eight months and was one of the best relationships we had found in our lives? As we waited, our friendship continued to flourish in spite of the geographical distance separating us. Our mammoth(海量的) messages were replaced with shorter emails sent throughout the day, affording us more insight into our routine world. Scans of photos from our lives were often attached to our email messages. We also began dedicating more evenings to each other. For example, we sat in front of our respective television sets to watch a favorite program or a rented movie and then later shared our opinions through email. Then, about a month before our vacation, Andy faced a deadline at work so his emails became sporadic. He apologized, but I reassured him that I understood and said: "The good things in life are worth the wait ... and you are worth the wait." 21.The disadvantages to friendships the author implies in the story are ______.
A. impatience and non-confidence
B. misunderstanding and distance
C. explanation and apology
D. the bad things in life

13. 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. A) In the last decade, mainland Chinese students have reshaped the international student body at US colleges and universities, notably at Ivy League institutions. In the 2009-2010 academic year, China surpassed traditional "study abroad"heavyweights like Canada, India and South Korea, to lead international enrollment across US higher education, according to the Institute of International Education. The US-based institute's most recent figures reveal that mainland Chinese students increased 23% to more than 723,000 in the 2010?011 academic year. B) While Chinese students traditionally went abroad when they failed to secure a place at a top-tier local university, the best students are now forgoing(放弃) famous Chinese universities to study in the United States. Many of them are seeking a higher quality of education that will train them to become independent and creative. And they believe the world's top-ranked universities are in the United States. While China's economic reforms and "opening-up" that began in 1978 gave rise to the first major generation of students who were generally reliant on scholarships to study in the United States, its rapid economic growth in the mid-1990s has made a distinctive second generation of overseas Chinese students emerge. This new generation comprises much more affluent students. Many of them don't rely on scholarships anymore. This is one of the reasons why there is such a great increase in this population. C)The factors driving mainland Chinese to study in the United States come into play much earlier. Starting around 2005, an influx(流入) of foreign Chinese students came into private US secondary schools. Many Chinese parents send their children to private US high schools as a strategic decision to strengthen their candidacy for elite(精英) US universities. A growing number also want their children to lead happier lives rather than have them consumed by preparing for the "gaokao?"in China---the one-time, high-stakes national university entrance examination that is the sole determinant of admission. However, while US boarding schools desire Chinese students both for their dollars and diversity, they typically admit four to five students of any foreign nationality per grade level, with international students comprising up to 20% of the overall student body. With about 100 students for each of the four grade levels, this means admitting a maximum of 20 mainland Chinese, or five percent of the student body. D) By virtue of their size, US universities can accept a much higher number of Chinese students than boarding schools. Since 1999, China was the second leading place of origin for international students at Harvard, trailing only Canada. Its student numbers steadily increased to lead Harvard's international enrollment since the last academic year, with 686 students currently enrolled (nearly 16% of the international student body). China similarly dominates international enrollment at other Ivy League schools, including Yale and Princeton. International students are seen very favorably as a whole, as a way to diversify and really become a global institution. Also economically ---it's very advantageous for elite schools to admit international students because the bulk of them can pay full tuition. As such, there is "a lot of favoritism" toward such students, as financial aid budgets have been cut over the last decade. E) But while mainland Chinese students dominate international enrollment, they comprise a small fraction of the overall student body. This is even more the case at the undergraduate level, as most international students are graduates. According to Harvard spokesperson Kevin Galvin, Harvard has "no quotas or limits for international students. All students are considered in the same pool for all places in the incoming class, regardless of citizenship or the school they attend. " While there is no evidence of undergraduate quotas for international students in Harvard, it is standard practice for top-ranked schools to assess them as a separate pool rather than with the entire pool of applicants. Some US colleges and universities, however, state clearly that they aim to recruit an undergraduate group with around 10% international students. F) As US campuses cannot fully support the demand from China, some educators have seen an opportunity in bringing international education to China, beginning at the secondary level. The trend can already be seen in US universities establishing local degree-granting branches. Next September, New York University will welcome its first undergraduate cohort(一批人) at its new Shanghai campus. Instead of sending Chinese students to secondary schools in America or other foreign countries, these people want to bring international curriculum into China so they don't need to travel outside the country. They help local high schools incorporate international systems, such as the International Baccalaureate and A-Levels, alongside Chinese curriculum. Students at these "Chinese versions of international schools" are typically Chinese nationals, who are restricted by government policy from attending full-fledged(完备的) international schools, which cater to expatriates(侨民). ______11.Some American universities have already established local degree-granting branches in China. ______12.Though Chinese students lead international enrollment in many schools, they make up a small percentage of the overall student population. ______13.Many Chinese students start their study in America early at boarding schools. ______14.The number of mainland Chinese students in American colleges and universities has increased greatly in recent years, especially at Ivy League schools. ______15.American universities recruit international students as a way to diversify and improve their financial situation. ______16.American boarding schools usually admit a very limited number of Chinese students. ______17.Since the last academic year, China has become the leading place of origin for international students at Harvard. ______18.Many top students choose to go to American universities rather than attend the famous universities in China. ______19.Since US schools cannot fully satisfy the demand from China, educators now work to bring international education to China. ______20.Unlike the first generation of Chinese students in America, the new generation includes the best students and many of them do not need to rely on scholarships.

15. Directions: There are two 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. Passage One Culture shock is the term given to the feelings of surprise, confusion, and disorientation that many foreigners feel when they live or study abroad. Scientists have noted that everyone experiences culture shock in different ways and for different amounts of time. However, there are five general stages of culture shock that can occur in any order, including excitement,rejection, regression, recovery, and reverse culture shock. The first phase of culture shock is characterized by excitement because the traveler is interested in all of the differences found in the new country. He or she may enjoy the beautiful new scenery and the delicious new food. While the honeymoon phase is fun and exciting, it also ends fairly quickly as the traveler encounters difficulty adjusting to life in the new country. Because life is so different in the new country, the foreigner experiences many unexpected difficulties as he or she enters the second stage of culture shock, the rejection phase. This is the time when the foreigner begins to feel irritated or frustrated because of the differences, and he or she may start to complain about the host country. In the regression phase, the foreigners lovingly remember their home country. They forget about all of the troubles and problems they had in their home country and wish they could return. At this stage, the foreigner will try to regress, or go back, to their home country in some ways. For example, they spend most of the time with other foreigners who speak their native language. Or, they may insist on finding the things they miss from their home country such as food, movies, songs, or books. Once the regression stage passes, the person moves into the fourth phase, the recovery phase. In this phase, the person becomes accustomed to the new culture. Communication is easier, and the person can conduct daily life without anxiety. It is called the recovery phase because, like recovering from illness, the person finally begins to feel good again. Since the person has accepted the new culture, returning to the home country might be difficult. Reverse culture shock happens when a traveler returns home only to realize that he or she misses the foreign country. They see problems with their own home country, or maybe they do not like the recent changes that have occurred while they were abroad. 21.What is the passage mainly about?
A. Causes of culture shock.
B. Problems of culture shock.
C. Stages of culture shock.
D. Solutions to culture shock.

21. 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. NASA's Next Giant Leap A) It was 45 years ago that Neil Armstrong took the small step onto the surface of the moon that changed the course of history. The years that followed saw a Space Age of scientific, technological and human research, on which we have built the modern era. Starting from the moon, we will move deeper into the solar system. The Apollo missions cleared a path for human exploration to the moon. Today we are extending that path to near-Earth asteroids(小行星), Mars and beyond. B) We're building on the Apollo program's accomplishments to test and fly novel(新的), cutting-edge(尖端) technologies today for tomorrow's missions. As we develop and test the new tools of 21st century spaceflight on the journey to Mars, we once again will change the course of history. C) The path to Mars begins with research on Earth and extends beyond its bounds, aboard the orbiting laboratory of the International Space Station, with our international partners. Some 250 miles above our heads, astronauts are conducting hundreds of experiments not possible on Earth, teaching us how humans can live, work and thrive(长得健壮) for longer periods in space. D) To help this nation send humans to deep space and return them to Earth safely, engineers across the country are developing a new space transportation tool that can travel far beyond our home planet. The Orion spacecraft and Space Launch System (SLS) heavy-lift rocket will be the most advanced space vehicles ever built. Together, they will take us farther into the solar system than humans have ever traveled. They are our spaceship to Mars and beyond. E) As we turn our eyes toward Mars, we are designing missions to take us to a "proving ground"around the moon called cis-lunar(月球周围) space, where some of the very building blocks of the solar system can be explored. F) Near-Earth asteroids provide a unique opportunity we need for future human missions to Mars. Around 2019, we'll launch a robotic mission to reach a near-Earth asteroid. The spacecraft either will capture an entire asteroid or take a part off a much larger asteroid, then redirect the asteroid mass to a stable orbit(轨道) around the moon. Such missions will provide important information about the space to safely send humans to Mars. G) The new technologies we test by sending astronauts to study the asteroids in the cis-lunar space will make important advances to safely send humans to Mars. This includes tools like Solar Electric Propulsion, a highly efficient way to help us transport large objects and heavy cargo to support future Mars missions. NASA will continue to make significant investments in new technologies vital to achieving exploration goals. This includes advancements in entry, descent and landing technologies such as Low Density Supersonic Decelerators. H) Sending humans to deep space around the moon also will help advance techniques for space operations on and around Mars and its moons. The space around our moon is different than low-Earth orbit but very similar to what a spacecraft will experience on the trip to and from Mars. For instance, solar and cosmic radiation is intense. We also can use cis-lunar space to begin practicing activities in deep space, like spacewalks, and learn to cope with delays in communication with Earth because of the distance. I) Mars calls for us to explore. Missions to Mars could answer some of the fundamental questions of humanity: Does life exist beyond Earth? Could humans live on Mars in the future? J) The journey to answer these questions has risks, but the rewards for humanity are worth it. In our lifetime, NASA and the world will take the next giant leap to explore the red planet. ______11.Preparation for the journey to Mars can start from a place near Earth. ______12.People from different countries contribute to the exploration of Mars in one way or another. ______13.Great benefits will be gained from missions to Mars. ______14.A number of new technologies will be needed to send human beings to Mars. ______15Despite the risks, it is worthwhile to take this great leap to explore Mars. ______16.We are now standing on a new horizon, ready to take the next giant leap. ______17.If we want to travel to Mars, a more powerful form of transportation is needed. ______18.The cis-lunar space will serve as a genuine training ground. ______19.New missions near Earth will provide new information before we really send a human being onto Mars. ______20.The Apollo program has provided a strong base for our future explorations.

22. Directions: There are two 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. Passage One Believe it or not, there is a whole generation of young people who would love to own a personal airplane but who have little or no interest in learning to fly. To satisfy demand from this new kind of traveler, futurists dream of building airplanes that will fly themselves with minimal input from their occupants(用户). Rather than planning a flight, checking weather and attending to all the other duties of pilot-in-command, the operators of these future aircrafts will simply hop in the front seat, press a few buttons (or merely speak to the flight computer) to input the desired destination and then kick back while the virtual(虚拟的) pilot does all the flying. It's hard to imagine what level of understanding of aerodynamics(空气动力学) or aviation rules and regulations the operator of such a futuristic airplane would be required to possess, but for this concept to work the answer quite probably would have to be very little to none. After all, a "pilot"who is so far removed from the decision-making processes and the actual hands-on flying of the airplane shouldn't be depended on to take over in an emergency. Instead, these future general aviation airplanes will be little more than passenger-carrying UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicle[无人驾驶航空器]). In such cases, trained pilots on the ground could be given access to the airplane's controls through a secure datalink(数据链) connection, enabling the remote operator to take over ---for a fee, of course. It's similar to a concept now being debated in the airline world, where future Boeing and Airbus jetliners would have only one pilot physically on board the airplane with ground-based copilots available to step in as needed. We may not like the idea, but as we've e seen in the UAV world, such operations are already possible. As the technology evolves and matures to enable airplanes to fly and land automatically without any help from humans, there's no reason why airplane manufacturers (制造商) 20 years from now might not start offering a cockpit as optional equipment. 21.What do futurists dream of?
A. Owning a personal airplane.
B. Attending to the duties of a pilot.
C. Making planes with automatic piloting.
D. Flying an airplane by themselves.
