2、SECTION II Reading（50 minutes） 　　Part A 　　Directions： 　　Read the following two texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET. Text 1 　　Today there are three different kinds of New Yorkers: the people who act as if they were born here; the people who are here and wish to be elsewhere; and the collection of virtual New Yorkers all over the world, who wish they were living in New York. These are the three states of mind and what they have in common are longing and illusion. In fact, it’s a city of dreamers. 　　What makes New York special? New Yorkers are convinced of its specialness—but Toronto is more diverse, London is larger, Washington is more powerful. So why does New York think it’s the capital of the world? 　　People often explain the problems in European cities by citing inequality. But New York today is one of the most unequal cities in America. In 2010, 1 percent of New Yorkers earned 45 percent of its income. That works out to an average of $3.7 million a year for the city’s top 34,500 households. The average daily income of this group is greater than the average annual income of the city's bottom 10 percent. 　　So why would people still come to try their luck in this tough place? Is it opportunity or illusion that draws them? 　　They come because any newcomer can find a place in the hierarchy of New York. If you look at a New York City restaurant, for example, the cook might be French, the people washing dishes might be Mexican, the hostess might be Russian, the owner might be British. They are not all equal. They earn different rates. But they work together to get food to hungry people. 　　What New York demonstrates is this: immigration works. The city can use its immigrants, even the illegal ones. Though they broke the law by illegally crossing the borders, the city's economy would be a shell of itself had they not, and it would collapse if they were deported. Attracted here by the founding myth of the city, each immigrant is seeking to escape from history, personal and political. For him, New York is the city of the second chance. 26.The writer mentions the three kinds of New Yorkers to stress that （ ）. [A]they share the same longing [B]they are in pursuit of dreams [C]they are proud of their birthplace [D]they wish to live in another place 27.In the eyes of New Yorkers, their city is （ ）. [A]powerful [B]diverse [C]special [D]large 28.The figures in paragraph 3 are given to show that New York （ ）. [A]favors the lucky [B]favors the locals [C]is a city of inequality [D]is a city of opportunities 29.People keep coming to New York because they can find jobs that （ ）. [A]challenge them [B]suit them well [C]pay them well [D]raise their status 30.It is implied in the text that New York is （ ）. [A]a tolerant city [B]a wealthy city [C]a mythical city [D]a historical city 简答题 10分

3、Text 2 You do not usually get something for nothing. Now, a new study reveals that the evolution of an improved learning ability could come at particularly high price an earlier death.　 Past experiments have demonstrated that it is relatively easy through selective breeding to make rats, honey bees and-that great favourite of researchers-fruit flies a lot better at learning. Animals that are better learners should be competitive and, thus, over time, come to dominate a population by natural selection. But improved learning ability does not get selected amongst these animals in the　wild. No one really understands why. Tadeusz Kawecki and his colleagues at the University of Fribourg in Switzerland have measured the effects of improved learning on the lives of fruit flies. The flies were given two different fruits as egg-laying sites. One of these was laced with a bitter additive that could be detected only on contact. The flies were then given the same fruit but without an additive. Flies that avoided the fruit which had been bitter were deemed to have learned from their experience. Their children were reared and the experiment was run again.　 After repeating the experiment for 30 generations, the children of the learned flies were compared with normal flies. The researchers report in a forthcoming edition of “Evolution” that although learning ability could be bred into a population of fruit flies, it shortened their lives by 15%. When the researchers compared their learned flies to colonies selectively bred to live long lives, they found even greater differences. Whereas learned flies had reduced their life spans, the long-lived flies learned less well than even average flies. The authors suggest that evolving an improved learning ability may require a greater investment in the nervous system which takes resources away from processes that delay ageing. However,Dr. Kawecki thinks the effect could also be a by-product of greater brain activity increasing the production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), which can increase oxidation in the body and damage health. No one knows whether the phenomenon holds true for other animals. So, biologists, at least, still have a lot to learn. 31. Past experiments prove selective breeding can make animals better （ ）． A. commanders　　　　 Ｂ.competitors C.survivors　　　 Ｄ.learners 32. In this experiment, scientists observed that （ ） A.some flies avoided the fruit without an addictive B.some flies preferred the fruit with an addictive C. the eggs of the flies were not damaged D. the impact on the flies did not last long 33. The forthcoming report says that （ ） A.long- -lived flies are better at laying eggs B.long-lived flies are poorer in learning C. learned flies have relatively long life D.learned flies live as long as average ones 34. According to Dr. Kawecki, greater brain activity （ ） A.reduces oxygen consumption B.regulates the nervous system C.speeds up the ageing process D.stabilizes the ageing process!. 35. We learn from the text that （ ） A.the research findings need to be tested further B.biologists are doing similar research on other animals C. the animal world usually follows the same universal laws D. biologists are applying their findings to other areas 简答题 10分

4、Part B 　　Directions: 　　Read the following texts in which five people wrote about being a vegetarian. For questions36-40, match the name of each person （36-40） to one of the statements （A-G） given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET. 36、Laurie: 　　It is encouraging to see that, whether out of sympathy for animals or a concern for their own health or both, people are starting to realize that it does not pay to eat too far up on the food chain. Meat need not be what is for dinner. Factory farming is barbaric and cruel. Every person who reduces the use of animals in his life is performing a lifesaving act. 37、Jeff: 　　I am ready to be a vegetarian, but in our country, farmers, food producers, restaurants and supermarkets are not prepared to support me. We all know that it is much easier and less expensive to get a hamburger at McDonald’s or Chinese takeout or a roast chicken from the supermarket than it is to take the time to shop for, assemble and cook a tasty, nutritious and fulfilling vegetarian meal. 38、Rod: 　　I’ve heard another term for vegetarians: beady-eyed vegetarians. They’ll eat things with beady eyes （fish, chicken） but not with big, sad eyes （cows, lambs）. A friend of mine explained it by saying he would eat only things he thought he could kill himself. He figures he can kill a fish but not a cow. That seems like a more honest and consistent rationale than some of the others I’ve heard. 39、Jerry: 　　As a moral vegetarian, I have found that there is great misunderstanding about vegetarian principles in our society. While some vegetarians keep off animals as a matter of health, we moral vegetarians don’t want other animals to live for us, nor do we want other animals to die for us, as they do for food, clothing and wasteful scientific research. All animals live for their own sake, not for mine. 40、Ellen: 　　Why do some people think that animals and human beings are the same? In my opinion, a human life is worth a lot more than an animal’s. I think that we must stop thinking of meat eaters as killers. Vegetarians also kill vegetable life. Is there any difference? Eat vegetables and meat; both help you to be healthy and allow you to have all the nutrients your bodies need. [A]All animals have the right to live for themselves. [B]Some vegetarians in fact eat small-sized animals. [C]Vegetarians need to do more to save animals’ lives. [D]Some people have overstressed the rights of animals. [E]Vegetarians should be consistent in their eating habits. [F]How can I become a vegetarian without a favorable environment? [G]Eating less meat saves not only the life of animals but also that of your own. 简答题 10分

5、Part C　　Directions：　　Read the following text from which five sentences have, been removed. Choose from the sentences A-G the most suitable one to fill each numbered gap in the text （41 -45）. There are TWO extra sentences that you do not need to use. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET. Britain （or Great Britain） is an island that lies off the north-west coast of Europe. The nearest country is France， which is 20 miles away and from which Britain is separated by the English Channel. The island is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the west， and the North Sea to the east.（41） Scotland is in the north， while Wales is in the west. Ireland， which is also an island， lies off the west coast of Britain. It consists of Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic. Britain together with Northern Ireland constitute the United Kingdom （UK）. Thus， the United Kingdom is composed of four countries， the largest of which is England. The capital city is London， which is situated in south-east England.   （42） About 70％ of the land area is devoted to agriculture， about 7％ is wasteland moorland and mountains， about 13％ is devoted to urban development， and 10％ is forest and woodland. The northern and western regions of Britain， that is Scotland and Wales， are mainly mountainous and hilly. （43）.   Britain has a generally mild and temperate climate. It is， however， subject to frequent changes. It has an average annual rainfall of about 120 centimetres（47 inches）.  （44） The density of population was approximant 240 people per square kilometre. However， in England， where 83％ of the population live， the density was much higher， about 363 per square kilometre.  （45） However in western Wales， Welsh is the first language for many of the people. In Scotland only a small number of people speak Gaelic.   In Britain about 66％ of the population say that they are Christian， while fewer than 5％ say that they belong to other religions. ［A］ The UK has a total area of about 244，100 square kilometres（94，248 square miles）. ［B］ In the UK， English is the first language of the vast majority of people. ［C］ It comprises the mainland of England， Wales and Scotland， that is， three countries.［D］ The U.

6、Part D 　　Directions: 　　Read the following text from which 10 words have been removed. Choose from the words A-O the most suitable one to fill each numbered gap in the text （46-55） .There are FIVE extra words that do not need to use. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET. In order to work here the foreigner needs a work permit， which must be applied for by his （46） employer. The problem here is that the Department of the Employment has the right to （47） or refuse these permits， and there is little that can be done about it. It would be extremely unwise for a foreign visitor to work without a permit， since anyone doing so is （48） to immediate deportation. There are some （49） to this rule， most notable people from the Common Market countries， who are （50） to work without permits， and who are often given temporary residence permits of up to five years. Some other people， such as doctors， foreign journalists， authors and others can work without permits. The problem with the act is not just that some of its rules are unfair but the way it is （51）， and the people who administer it. An immigration official has the power to stop a visitor off these shores coming into the country. If this happens the visitor has the right to appeal （52） the Immigration Appeal Tribunal. While the appeals are being （53）， the visitor has no choice but to wait sometimes for quite a long time. Critics of the law say that immigration officials treat the confused visitors badly， and appear to accept or reject them for no （54） reason. Which side of the political （55） you are on， there seems to be an urgent need for a good look at the Act， for it causes frequent argument， and in the eyes of many real injustice. ［A］ prospective ［B］ for ［C］ fence ［D］ to ［E］ liable ［F］ apparent ［G］ administered ［H］ regulations ［I］exceptions ［J］ employed ［K］ considered ［L］ grant ［M］ long-standing ［N］ entitled ［O］ exemption 简答题 10分

I was driving home the other day on a sunny afternoon. I had a smile on my face as I sang along to the songs on the radio. It was such a beautiful day that I felt full of happiness. My good mood ended， however， when the radio station took a news break between songs. Then suddenly I found myself listening to yet another story of a rich famous man who had broken the law. I shook my head as I came to a red traffic light. As pulled to stop noticed four leather-jacked bikers. They were standing in the middle of the road with two on either side of the light. They looked rough and dangerous， but as got closer I noticed each one was holding their helmet in their hands. I rolled down my window as one approached my car. ＂We are the Brother of the wheel，＂ he said. ＂We are collecting money for Christmas Toy Drive for needy children.＂ As pulled a dollar out of my wallet I looked past his beard and into his eyes. They shined with goodness and kindness that came right from his soul. I dropped the money in his helmet and waved to the other bikers as I drove off. My good mood had returned. My faith in mankind had been strengthened. And I remembered once again never to judge people by their appearance. 简答题 15分
