II. Grammar and Vocabulary

Section A

Directions: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct.

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one

word that best fits each blank.

(A)

One of my most surprising findings as a student is

25

parents do not always accept your adulthood. I was always

told that once you get to college, your parents realize that you have been living

26

your own and can make your own

decisions.

This

idea

was

rejected

27

I

came

home

for

Thanksgiving.

At

first,

everything

was

going

as

28

(smoothly) as possible. The first night I went to the Berkeley campus to visit my friend Sara, without any argument from

my mother.

29

when I called her to say I had decided to spend the night at Sara’s dorm, my mom informed me that

she wanted me home at one a.m. I was wild with anger! I

30

(make) my own decisions how late a young man should

stay out for several months. However much I tried to reason with my mother, she insisted things are different when I am

home, and that they were the

31

paying my bills. And kids, this is true. No matter how much you want to fight it,

mommy and daddy are still holding the purse strings, whether you are 18 or not. Sometimes it is best to sit back, shut up,

and do

32

they ask.

(B)

A land free from destruction, plus wealth, natural resources, and labor supply

—

all these were important factors in

helping

England

to

become

the

center

for

the

Industrial

Revolution,

but

they

were

not

enough.

Something

else

33

(need)

to

start

the

industrial

process.

That

―something

special‖

was

men

—

creative

individuals

34

could

invent

machines, find new sources of power, and establish business organizations to reshape society.

The men who created the machines of the Industrial Revolution came from many backgrounds and many occupations.

Many of them were more inventors than scientists. A pure scientist appreciates

35

(conduct) his research accurately.

______

his

findings

can

be

used.

An

inventor

or

one

interested

in

applied

science

is

usually

trying

to

make

something

that

has

a

concrete

use.

He

may

strive

37

(solve)

a

problem

by

using

the

theories

of

science

or

by

experimenting

through

trial

and

error.

Regardless

of

his

method,

he

is

working

to

obtain

38

specific

result:

the

construction of a harvesting machine, the burning of a light bulb, or one of many other objectives.

Many

of

the

people

who

developed

the

machines

of

the

Industrial

Revolution

were

inventors,

not

39

(train)

scientists. A few were both scientists and inventors. Even those who had little or no training in science

40

not have

made their inventions if a groundwork had not been laid by scientists years before.

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.

A. adapt

B. natives

C. identities

D. cost-saving

E. alert

F. instead

Officials at Boston College have made what may be a critical decision: th

ey’ve stopped giving out new email accounts

to

incoming

students.

The

officials

realized

that

the

students

had

already

established

digital

41

by

the

time

they

entered college, so the new email addresses were just not being used, but,

42

, the college will offer

forwarding

(

转发

)

services.

Starting next year, freshman

43

at Boston College won’t be given an actual email account complete with login

and inbox, just an email address. This address, in the format of

johnsmith@bc. edu

will simply forward m

ail to the student’s

already

44

inbox, be it Gmail, Windows Live Mail, Yahoo Mail, AOL, or whatever else they may be using.

The college reached a smart decision after first looking into

outsourcing

（外包）

their email to the cloud. While the

Boston College decision may have been made for

45

reasons more than anything, we can easily imagine this as being

the start of a new trend.

Can you even imagine a U.S. college student who didn’t have an email address of their own by the time they were a

immersed

(

) in technology from the day they were born. It simply doesn’t make sense to give them yet another

account to manage when they enter college.

By going this

48

, there are still some challenges to overcome, though. For example, a student who changes their

email carrier will probably forget to

49

the institution to the change and could then miss out on

50

messages

from the university with regard to their courses, scholarship, safety information, etc.

In the end, we think the decision Boston Colle

ge made could easily be the start of a new trend. We’re sure the students

like it, too.

III. Reading Comprehension

Section A

Directions:

For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each

blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

Napping for a while at daytime is a very smart and healthy move. The Mayo Clinic says naps

51

relaxation, better mood and alertness, and a sharper working

52

. A 2008 British study found that compared to

getting more nighttime sleep, a mid-day nap was the best way to

53

the mid-afternoon sleepiness.

According to the Harvard Health Letter, several studies have shown that people

54

new information better when

they take a nap shortly after learning it. And, most

55

, a 2007 study of nearly 24,000 Greek adults in the Archives of

Internal

Medicine

found

that

people

who

napped

56

had

a

37

percent

reduced

risk

of

dying

from

heart

disease

compared to people who didn’t nap.

Of course, napping is

n’t

57

for everyone. If

you’re suffering from inability

to sleep, naps that are too long or

taken too late in the day can

58

with your ability to fall or stay asleep at night.

But for most, naps can make you feel sharper and happier. Naps provide different benefits

59

on how long they are. A 20-minute nap will boost alertness and concentration; a 90-minute

snooze

（

小睡）

can

60

creativity.

According to , you

61

a natural dip in body temperature between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. A short nap at

this time can boost alertness for several hours and, for most people, shouldn’t

62

being able to fall asleep at night.

Pick a dark, cozy place that’s not too warm or too chilly.

63

napping on the couch instead of in

bed, so y

ou’re less

64

to snooze for too long.

Surprisingly, the best place to take a nap may be a

hammock

（吊床）

if you have one. A Swiss study

65

last year

found that people fell asleep faster and had deeper sleep when they napped in a hammock than in a bed. That same rocking

motion that puts babies to sleep works wonders for grown-ups, too.

Section B

Directions:

Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information

given in the passage you have just read.

(A)

Like many other small boys, I was fascinated by cars, especially because my oldest brother was a bit of a car guy and

subscribed to cool magazines like Car and Driver and Motor Trend. Every so often, one of those magazines would run an

article on the ―Car of the Future‖. They featured unconventional things like small nuclear reactors as power sources. Yet

,

frankly,

my car doesn’t do anything that my brother’s Studebaker didn’t do

. It goes, it stops, it burns gasoline. I still

have to steer it, and it still runs into things if I don’t steer it carefully.

But guess what? All of these things are likely to change in the not-so-distant future. It may not burn gasoline, I may not

have to steer it, and it may be a lot better at not running into things.

Airbags aren’t the be

-all and end-all in safety.

In fact,

considering the recent news about people occasionally

being

killed by their airbags in low-

speed crashes, they obviously still need some development. But they aren’t going away, and in

fact, you can expect to see cars appearing with additional, side-impact airbags, something some European car manufacturers

already offer.

Better than systems to

minimize injury in the event of an accident, however, are systems that minimize the likelihood

of

an

accident

happening

in

the

first

place?

Future

cars

may

be

able

to

remove

many

of

the

major

causes

of

accidents,

including drunk-driving, and

tailgating

(

与前车距离过近

). Cars could be equipped with sensors that can detect alcohol in a

driver’s system and prevent the car from being started, for example. As early as next year, you’ll be able to buy cars with

radar-equipped control s

ystems. If the radar determines you’re closing too quickly with the car in front, it will ease up on

the

throttle

（油门）

.

Scientists are now working on a system that can brake, accelerate and steer a vehicle down a highway on its own. Will

cars eventually be able to drive themselves?

66. The author was fascinated by cars because ________.

A. other small boys liked to own a car of their own, too

B. he read untraditional things about cars in his brother’s magazines

C. his oldest brother loved to take him to places in his car

D. he often booked cool car magazines himself

67. By saying ―

my car doesn’t do anything that my brother’s Studebaker didn’t do

‖, the author means that ________.

A. my car is far better than my brother’s

B. my car is not as good as my broth

er’s

C. much improvement has been made in the design of cars recently

D. not much has changed in the performance of cars so far

68. Which of the following statements is true of airbags?

A. They are going to disappear gradually.

B. They are in need of further improvement.

C. They are a standard feature of European cars.

D. They kill people instead of protecting them in low-speed crashes.

69. According to the author, what will future cars do if the sensors detect alcohol in the driver’s system?

A. They will not start.

B. They will ease up on the throttle.

D. They will give a warning in advance.

(B)

C. They will brake automatically.
