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 　　Isabel has turned down two job offers in the past year.In 2006, she started her own consulting practice, but by 2008, most of her larger clients had to drop her because of the economy.In 2011, she was undertaking irregular assignments and knew she needed a steady job.The first job she considered was Director of HR for a company in Utah.After the initial interviews, she felt the job fit her except for the location.Still, she flew west to meet the hiring manager.The hiring manager explained that Isabel was the top candidate for the job but that, before she continued with the process, she should better understand the firm’s culture. 　　She directed Isabel to several videos of the company’s CEO, who regularly appeared in front of the company in costume as part of morale building exercises and expected his senior leaders to do the same.“Even though I was desperate for a job, I knew I couldn’t do that,” Isabel says.She called the recruiter to turn down the job and explained that she didn’t feel there was a cultural fit. 　　A few months later, she interviewed for another job: a director of employee relations at a local university.After several interviews, the hiring manager told her the job was hers if she wanted it.The job had many positives: it was a low-stress environment, it offered great benefits, and the university was an employee-friendly place.But the job was relatively junior despite the title and Isabel worried it wouldn’t be challenging enough.Finally, she turned it down.“It would be great to have a paycheck and great benefits but I would definitely have trouble sleeping at night,” she says. 　　In both cases, she was frank with the hiring managers about why she wasn’t taking the jobs.“In the past, it felt like dating, I was worried about hurting people’s feelings,” she says.However, they appreciated her frankness and thanked her for her honesty.She says it was hard to turn down the jobs and it was a risk for her financially but she felt she had to. 26.In 2011, Isabel （ ）. [A] did consulting now and then [B] found a job close to her home [C] refused several job interviews [D] ran a successful consulting firm 27.Isabel turned down the first job offer mainly because of its （ ）.

3、　　Text 2 　　Given the choice, younger professionals are most interested in working at tech companies like Apple and government agencies like the State Department, but they are comparatively disinterested in working in the financial industry, according to a survey conducted by Universum, a research firm. 　　What attracts college graduates to big tech companies like Apple is mainly the cool factor surrounding these companies and their products, as the survey found young professionals were most influenced by the strength of the corporation’s brand when picking their most desired companies. 　　"Companies that have appealing consumer brands generally also succeed in being perceived as attractive employers. People nowadays love to work for companies that produce their favorite products and services," said Kortney Kutsop, employer branding specialist for Universum.“Also, market success is an important factor: The company needs to be generally seen as innovative and best-in-class in whatever they do－－that's the recipe for success.” 　　By contrast, financial institutions like Citigroup, whose brands have been spoiled in recent years by the collapse of the financial industry, ranked in the lower half of the list of 99 companies desired by young professionals. 　　Beyond the power of a company's brand, college graduates were also heavily influenced by the perceived financial stability of each company, which may explain why major corporations like Apple would rank at the top, since they are constantly expanding and hiring new employees. On the other hand, government agencies, which fared slightly worse than the tech companies, may have been hurt by perceived weaknesses in recent years, given that the public sector as a whole has been forced to freeze wages and lay off employees. 　　Universum, which surveyed more than 10,000 young professionals who graduated from college in the last eight years, also found that many of them are looking to switch jobs in the near future. In fact, half of those surveyed claimed to have applied to other jobs in the past year and a quarter plan to switch jobs within six months’ suggesting that the organizations at the top of this list may be flooded with new applications in the coming months. 31.The Universum survey found that college graduates （ ）. [A] are sponsored by government agencies [B] refuse to work in the financial industry [C] are given better choices in employment [D] prefer to work at major tech companies 32.According to Kortney Kutsop, young professionals nowadays （ ）. [A] are brand-oriented in job hunting [B] are brand-conscious in consumption [C] are eager to be innovative employees [D] are eager to get the recipe for success 33.Citigroup has become less appealing to young job seekers due to （ ）. [A] its inadequate service [B] its ruined reputation [C] its lack of creativity [D] its heavy workload 34.Compared with those at tech companies, jobs at government agencies in recent years （ ）. [A] are better paid [B] are better rated [C] are less secure [D] are less demanding 35.In the survey, a majority of young professionals who graduated from college in the last eight years （ ）. [A] are influenced by financial instability [B] are employed by big tech companies [C] have decided to change their careers [D] have found jobs in the public sector 简答题 10分

4、Part B Directions: Read the texts from a magazine article in which five people talk about tipping in a restaurant.For questions 36-40, match the name of each person to one of the statements （A-G） given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET. 36、Richard: 　　I’ve always viewed tipping as a way of saying “thank you” to the one who serves me.I believe what is bad is when no tip is left at all.The better the service, the higher the tip.Unless the service is literally perfect, I never tip more than 10% of the bill.Much like the harder teachers in school, I never give an easy “A.” My assessment is honest. 37、Daniel: 　　A tip is a “thank you,” but in truth, a tip is payment for service.20% is a standard tip.Servers deserve it for their hard work.Restaurants will never pay more for labor unless they are forced to do so by new laws.Tips make up about 97% of a server’s total income.Those tips are needed for survival.So, before servers are paid a living wage, tip 20%. 38、Kate: 　　Why should I pay the difference between what the restaurant is willing to pay the employee and what an acceptable wage is? I do pay 20%, but I hate it.A friend of mine left Europe for New York City, found a job in a restaurant there and ended up making $5, 500 a month.Enough above minimum wage? How about miners, construction workers, resident doctors, etc? Do they get tipped? 39、Patricia: 　　18 -20% for good service is today’s standard.The restaurant and its employees are too polite to tell you this or to put it on their menus, but that is their expectation and you need to understand that.I believe it is good manners to respect this.To do otherwise is to be openly rude.If you disagree, you are wise to eat elsewhere, as you are hurting a hardworking professional. 40、Michael: 　　Tipping has gotten out of control.I always had thought it was 15%, and now suddenly servers have made it 20%.I tip 15%, and that’s it.If the service is really superior, then I work higher from there. Interesting to be told, “If you can’t afford to tip 20%, then you should eat at home.” If all those people stayed away, the restaurant would not even be in business. [A] It’s rude not to tip. [B] I do tip, though I don’t like it. [C] Tipping shouldn’t be compulsory. [D] Tips are essential to servers’ survival. [E] If you don’t tip, you are punishing the server. [F] I think the current tipping standard is too high. [G] My tip faithfully reflects how good the service is. 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. 　　In 2009, the number of hungry people in the world reached one billion for the first time.It’s difficult not to be shocked by the fact that more than one in seven people in the world do not have enough to eat. （41） Hunger kills more people per year than diseases such as AIDS, malaria and TB combined. The UN estimates that almost two thirds of the world’s hungry people are in Asia, which is of course the world’s most populous continent.（42） Although this region has a much lower population than Asia, it has the highest percentage of hungry people.Almost all of the rest are in Latin America, North Africa and the Caribbean.In the richest regions of the world there are only a tiny number of people who don’t have enough to eat. There are many reasons for world hunger.They include wars, droughts, floods, and the over use of farming land.（43） Many people also blame greedy businessmen for pushing up the prices of basic foods in the global market.But the most important reason, quite simply, is poverty, which has increased recently due to the financial crisis of 2008. Although many people make the obvious point that there would be less hunger if the global population were smaller, few people would argue that there is not enough food to go around.（44） In the last 50 years, global food production has risen even more quickly than the global population.There are many areas of the world in which people generally have more than enough food.（45） The answer to world hunger, therefore, may be a balanced food distribution around the whole world.Everyone will have enough to eat, but not overeat. [A] The basic problem seems to be not a lack of food, but its distribution. [B] More than a quarter are in sub-Saharan Africa. [C] All these factors affect food production. [D] It takes the effort of every country to fight against world hunger. [E] In those places, obesity is a far bigger problem than hunger. [F] Those places need far more food than they actually get. [G] By the end of this year, more than 35 million people will have died as a result of not having enough to eat. 简答题 10分

8、　　Part B Directions: Read the text below.Write an essay in about 120 words, in which you should summarize the key points of the text and make comments on them.Try to use your own words. Dear Sally, 　　It was amazing to see your dance performance last weekend.I felt so proud of you when your teacher and schoolmates congratulated you upon your completion of the performance. 　　While you continue to enjoy the moment, I’d like to share with you a small quote from Abraham Lincoln, “This, too, shall pass away.” I want these words to be your guide at every turning point in your life. 　　When you’re feeling very proud of yourself at an achievement, knowing no bounds at that moment, remember that “This, too, shall pass away.” 　　When you’re at a difficult moment in your life and don’t know what to do, find comfort in the same words — “This, too, shall pass away.” 　　I’m not saying that the ache of some losses and setbacks will completely go away from your life.In fact, often the memories of painful events will hit you unexpectedly like tons of bricks and take your breath away years after they happen. 　　But, like all humans, you have an almost infinite capacity to adapt to life’s changes and a great ability to bounce back from trying times.This understanding should give you a spark of hope when you’re in a season of despair; it should also build up your confidence for taking risks in the future. 　　Sally, our lives are made up of several peaks and several valleys.That’s the nature of life.Live each moment as it comes.And always remember “This, too, shall pass away.” Love, Papa 简答题 15分
