Section A
听力原文：M: Have you ever heard the saying, “Clothes make the man”? It might be truer than we imagine. W: When a police officer or firefighter puts on their uniform it must affect their psychology.

When a judge puts on that heavy black robe it transmits an image of power, but it also serves a reminder to the judge of the responsibility of their position.
1． What does the conversation imply? A．Great minds think alike. B．You are what you wear.

听力原文：W: I’ve got a question. How do you know a gene is a disease gene?M: Well, as I say, after an analysis we have a list of candidate genes that could be a disease gene. We then send off these results to biologists who will confirm our findings.

C．He bases his findings on his previous research.
D．He sends the results of his analysis to biologists for confirmation.

解析：对话中女士询问，该如何鉴别病毒基因，男士回答说经分析之后，列出可能是病毒基因的那些基因，然后把这些结果发送给生物学家，他们会证实这
些发现(send off theseresults to biologists who will confirm our findings)。因此D项正确。
听力原文：M: They’re going to hold an NBA preseason game in Singapore. I think the teams are from New York and Houston. W: Wow, that’s cool. Everyone’s going to try to get tickets. I bet they’ll be expensive. M: They’re not too bad, actually. I’m thinking of flying over. Since it’s low season, a plane ticket from Hong Kong to Singapore won’t cost too much.

听力原文：W: I just love seeing movies on a big screen. Want to go to the theatre?M: I’m not sure. I would rather stay home to watch a movie. The theatre can be fun, and it’s pretty close, but it’s so much less expensive to rent a movie. W: That’s true. Maybe we could rent a funny comedy. I don’t really like horror movies. They scare me too much.

听力原文：W: It hasn’t rained for a month. They’re going to shut off water to parts of the city for four or five hours a day. M: So I’ve heard. We’ve started taking three-minutes showers. Plus, we stopped washing our car. It’s not much, but it helps. W: It sure does. I feel sorry for the farmers. Some of their crops are dying. That means food prices will start going up.
5． What are the speakers talking about? A．Importance of saving water.
B．Ways to improve farming. C．The city’s nasty weather. D．Water shortage in the city.
正确答案：D 解析：对话开始女士提到已经一个月没有下雨了，而且这个城市的有些地方每天会停水(shut off water)四五个小时，男士回答说他们现在开始只洗三分钟的澡，而且不洗车，女士又说替农民们感到担心，因为庄稼都快死了，食物价格又要飞涨了。这段对话主要介绍了这个城市缺水导致的各种结果。因此选D项。

There are people that are givers.Mario: There are two kinds of people in the world, the givers and the takers.Interviewer: The givers and the takers?Mario: The takers sometimes sleep better, but the givers always sleep better.Interviewer: Right. So this again, this year, and again, you know what, I, St. Jude Hospital is such a special place that, you know, I just want people to always give throughout the year, because, because you know, kids just keep going there from all over the country, right?Mario: Well I think, yes, the children come from every community in the country. And what I think is great about this time of year, we are all out there, shopping and buying presents for Christmas, and Heineken, all those wonderful holidays, and we are in a very happy mood, but we have to remember that, there are families right now who are fighting for their child’s life. And I think a great way to remember them and to honour that is to, and also to give thanks to the healthy kids in
your life, that’s a whole sort of motto of the campaign, the Thanks & Giving Campaign. We are so lucky to have healthy families, we are so lucky. Our parents, our children, our spouses, ourselves. So give thanks to the healthy kids in your life, and give to those who are not. And it’s so simple. Because we have always great retail partners. We have CVS, and Dick’s Sporting Goods, and Target and Kmart, Kay Jewelers and Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn, all these great companies.Interviewer: So you get all these to cooperate as friends.Mario: Yes.Interviewer: And basically if I go shopping to any of the stores.Mario: Ann Taylors, they are gonna ask you to leave a dollar for the children of St. Jude, that’s it. So you spent 80 dollars, 100 dollars whatever you spent, maybe 8 dollars. In CVS pharmacy the average transaction is 7 dollars, and yet last year 7 million people put down a dollar at CVS pharmacy. This not amazing? And the average transaction was only 7 dollars.Interviewer: And Mario, and that goes regularly to call for responses that you just write a check and send that right to the hospital.Mario: What happens is they actually have a SKEQ key right on the cash register, so they don’t have to pay tax audit or anything. The money comes right in, the money goes directly to St. Jude. So what I love about St. Jude and why I’m proud, to be able to ask money for it, I know where the money is going. It’s not going to three other companies, or three other organizations. It’s going right from CVS, Williams-Sonoma, or whoever, and going right to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
11． What are the two kinds of people mentioned in the quote of Mario’s father? A．The rich and the poor. B．Givers and takers. C．Eaters and sleepers. D．The old and the young.

Section C
听力原文：In this section, you will hear five short news items. After each item, which will be read only once, there will be a twenty-second pause. During the pause, read the question and the four choices marked A, B, C and D, and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet with a single line through the centre.16. In September, the U. S. scientific satellite MAVEN(Mars
Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution Mission)entered an orbit around Mars, with the mission of learning what happened to the Red Planet’s atmosphere and water. MAVEN’s principal investigator Bruce Jakosky says scientists now know that Mars once had a much denser atmosphere and that it has changed significantly o-ver the last few billion years. What they still don’t know is how and why that happened.17. Scientists have been experimenting with four-legged robots for years, trying to see if they could be used as pack animals for carrying heavy loads over a difficult terrain. But the machine’s power requirements limited their potential. That’s changed, with a running robot designed by a group of engineers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology that operates on batteries rather than heavy gasoline-powered engines.18. People often blame Hollywood movies, U. S. television shows and fast food for spreading American culture around the world. But a college entrance exam? Some people are criticizing planned changes to the Scholastic Aptitude Test as an attempt to spread American values to students o-verseas. Starting in 2016, the SAT will require test-takers to read from parts of the U. S. Constitution, the Declaration of Independence or other historical documents.19. The cycle of poverty is often difficult to break, especially for women. Author Ritu Sharma witnessed the difficulties first-hand in travels through four countries including Sri Lanka. She shares her experience in her book Teach a Woman to Fish. Sharma explains to Daybreak Asia’s Frances Alonzo ways she sees that women can challenge and break free from oppressive systems that keep them poor.20. The U. S. holiday shopping season is officially under way, with Black Friday discounts drawing millions of shoppers in stores and online. From California to New York—this is how the holiday shopping season begins—the early lines, the massive crowds—many of them lured in by Black Friday specials, from $ 99 flat screen TVs to toys at less than half their usual price. It’s enough to bring in the savvy shoppers and those just curious to see what all the fuss is about.

Section D
听力原文：In this section, you will hear a short passage. There are 10 missing
words or phrases. Fill in the blanks with the exact words or phrases you hear. The passage will be read twice. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet. At movie preview, reporters are often searched before entering a theatre. If cameras or camcorders are found, security guards take them until the preview is finished. The guards do this because people might record and share the movie before it is released. They are trying to protect the right of intellectual property(IP). Intellectual property is legal ownership of intangible things like music, film, computer programmes, techniques and books. Countries like the United States have a strict system of patents, copyrights and trademark rights. When a person produces something new, they apply for one of these from the government to prove he or she is the owner of the invention and that it is illegal for others to copy it. Patents are needed for new inventions. Copyrights are used for materials like books, music, computer programmes and movies. Trademark rights are used for distinctive signs. You can tell if something is copyrighted or trademarked by looking on the package for a small encircled C or T respectively. As international trade increases, problems are arising regarding IP. Some countries have less strict laws for IP than others. In countries like Vietnam, where laws for IP are not very strict, products imported from other countries are often copied and sold for a cheaper price. For example, it is common to find copies of U. S. movies being sold cheaply in these countries. The United States and other countries with strict IP laws want all countries to have strict IP laws so that trade is fair. So, they pressure other countries to strengthen IP laws. For example, before Vietnam could join the World Trade Organisation in 2006, they had to strengthen their IP laws. Not everyone believes that laws protecting IP should be followed. Some believe it is wrong for others to have a monopoly on an idea or invention that could serve the public good. For example, some poor countries have many people suffering from diseases but do not have the infrastructure needed to produce drugs to help the patients. Other richer countries have produced the drugs but are selling them at too high a price for the poor countries to afford, which may cause people to die.

21． 【D1】

正确答案：should be followed

30． 【D10】
正确答案：suffering from
解析：(录音最后举例解释为什么不是所有人都需要遵守知识产权，因为“some poor countrieshave many people suffering from diseases but do not have the infrastructure needed to producedrugs to help the patients…”。suffer from遭受。)

Part Ⅲ Cloze
Is paragliding more dangerous than parachuting? There are three elements that support the argument that though 【C1】______of them is safe, one is far less dangerous than the other. Those three elements are training, preparation, and skill level. Training for the first parachute jump is a 【C2】rel______simple process. Commonly a morning of instruction and practice can result 【C3】______a person’s first jump the same afternoon. In contrast, paragliding training is much more involved, taking anywhere from one to three months before the first flight occurs. It is 【C4】______(legal)to fly without a license, and various competence levels must be passed to be able to move from soaring to something more involved such as cross-country flying. Preparation for a parachute jump is minimal 【C5】______ best. Most jumpers have their chutes packed for them, so all they have to do is climb into the plane. Some pack their own chutes, but still, this is minor. In paragliding the pilot lays out their canopy on the ground, checks it and the lines, and then must wait for the right wind conditions before launching. The fact that the chute and lines can be seen makes a【C6】tre______difference as any problems can be seen before launch, something that is impossible with parachuting. This is a very important difference because almost all parachuting【C7】acc______are the result of equipment failure. Jumpers rely almost totally on their equipment and not their skill, the reverse of the paragliding pilot. It is this difference in skill levels that makes paragliding the safer option. The 【C8】______ (great)the skill the pilot develops, the less chance they might get into a dangerous situation when flying. Also, if they do get into a dangerous situation, it is far more likely that they will be able to escape. With parachuting it is the【C9】opp______. Ultimately skill does not matter. Even the most experienced jumper will be 【C10】______(able)to do anything in the event of major equipment failure. Like Russian roulette, the question is how many times a person jumps before statistics catch up with them.
46． 【C1】
正确答案：neither 解析：(由空格处前面的转折连词though，以及空格后面的“one is far less than the other(其中一项远没有另一项危险。)”可知空格处要表示的是“虽然他们都不安全”，故本空填neither。)
47． 【C2】
正确答案：relatively
解析：(空格后文提到“相反，滑伞训练更复杂，需要一到三个月”，因此空格处表示的是跳伞训练相对简单，空格处应填人relatively意为“相对地”。)
48． 【C3】
正确答案：in
解析：(空格处上文提到跳伞训练相对简单，空格处所在句是对此观点的具体阐释。由空格处前面的result，可以联想到短语result in意为“引起；导致”，在空格处所在的句子中表示“一个早上的指导和训练就可以让一个人在当天下午完成他的第一跳。”)
49． 【C4】
正确答案：illegal
解析：(由括号中给出的legal，可知该处要表达的是“没有执照就进行滑伞运动是非法的”，故本空填人“illegal”。)
50． 【C5】
正确答案：at
解析：(空格后文提到跳伞运动员只需背上降落伞，爬上飞机就可以了。可知跳伞需要做的准备很少。at best表示“至多；充其量”。)
51． 【C6】
正确答案：tremendous
解析：(空格后面提到任何问题都可以在起飞前发现，由此可以推测检查滑道和路线有重要作用，由此可以根据给出的字母联想到tremendous一词，表示“极大的”。)
52． 【C7】
正确答案：accidents
解析：(由空格后面的the result of equipment failure“设备故障的结果”，可以推测空格处应填入的单词是accident“事故”，根据语境可知此处要用其复数形式。)
53． 【C8】
正确答案：greater
解析：(由空格后面的the less可知该处运用了the more…the more…结构，空格处应填入great的比较级greater。)
54． 【C9】
正确答案：opposite
解析：(上文提到高空滑翔是一个更安全的选择，因为人们在滑翔过程中遇到危险，更容易逃脱，下文提到跳伞过程中技能是没用的，可知此处是将滑翔和跳伞进行对比，由提示字母很容易联想到opposite，再结合上下文可知，opposite正好符合文意。)
55． 【C10】
正确答案：unable
解析：(根据上文中提到在遇到危险时跳伞者的处境与滑翔者的相反，可知此处的意思是“在跳伞过程中，就算是经验丰富的跳伞者，遇到了主要设备故障也是无计可施的。”提示词是able，联系文意，可知此空应填unable。)

Questions 56—60 Decide the following statements are true(T)or false(F)according to the passage.
56． The Hallward Library serves students in all majors of the University of Nottingham.
A．TRUE B．FALSE
正确答案：B 解析：文章第一段就介绍了Hallward Library能够支持哪些专业是学生使用，“This includesthe subject areas of arts，humanities，law and social sciences，and a European Documentation Centre”，而题干说诺丁汉大学所有专业的学生都可以使用这个图书馆，很明显不正确。
57． Anyone who wants to borrow books through the SCONUL scheme must register online before they come to the reception of the library and get a library card.
A．TRUE B．FALSE
正确答案：A
解析：文章第二段提到通过SCONUL计划使用图书馆前，需要在线申请注册(apply to jointhe scheme online)，完成之后才能去图书馆的接待处获得一张图书馆的卡，而题干的内容与原文同意，因此表述正确。
58． Through the SCONUL scheme no more than 6 ordinary loan books can be borrowed while none of Short Loan books can be borrowed.
A．TRUE B．FALSE
正确答案：A
解析：文章第三段提到使用图书馆借书的情况，“If your SCONUL Access membership entitlesyou to borrow，you may up to six ordinary loan books to four weeks．Items from our ShortLoan collection are not available to borrow under this scheme…”，可知通过SCONUL计划最多能借6本普通的书，短文集是不能借的，该题题干表述意思与原文相符，因此正确。
59． Electronic resources and Internet cannot be used in the library without permission.
A．TRUE B．FALSE
正确答案：B
解析：文章第四段开头提到“Please also consult our information on how to access electronic resources and the internet via the eduroam wireless service”，可知如果去咨询电子资源和无线网的相关信息，就可使用这两项了，而题干说“没有允许就不能在图书馆使用电子资源和无线网”，可知该题干表述错误。
60． Visitors can come to the library for reference purposes and even borrow books.
A．TRUE B．FALSE
正确答案：A
解析：文章第五段提到“You are welcome to visit any of our libraries and use them for referencepurposes”，第六段又提到“If you would like to borrow books then you can become an ex—ternal borrower”，来参观图书馆的人可以是为了参考目的，也可以借书，因此该题题干表述正确。
Section B
Tony Wheeler is the man behind the Lonely Planet guidebooks, books which are loved and hated in equal measure. It’s hard to pin down why they provoke such violent emotion: once it was simply because they lied—you don’t turn up for the weekly Wednesday ferry to find that actually it goes on Tuesdays. Nowadays they are
carefully researched, the information is generally true, and the maps are accurate. 【B1】______ Arrive in a place and out comes the book: Places to Stay, Things to See, Getting Around, Places to Eat—all of which is undeniably useful. But you end up living a life dictated by Wheeler, and that life might not be right for you. On top of that, everyone else has got one too, so instead of being the independent traveller you thought you were, you end up being just another tourist. 【B2】______His wife Maureen, who runs the company with him, is equally to blame. It all started in 1972 when, bored with Britain, they set off for Australia. They arrived in Sydney three months later with 27 cents between them. Tony sold his camera, then sat down and wrote about the trip. They put the pages together and took it around the local bookshops and one of the bookshops sold thousands of copies. 【B3】______Their 200-odd guidebooks cover nearly everywhere and there are phrasebooks, atlases, walking guides. They sell more than three million books a year and employ around 200 people. The Lonely Planet website is visited a million times a day and the Wheelers have replaced the van with a red Ferrari. 【B4】______ ‘ My children
have travelled all over the world so they’re aware of a lot of things,’ says Maureen and Tony agrees. ‘ It helps you grow up a lot, just knowing how other people live and what happens in their countries. Secondly, being on your own, having to make your way from one place to the next and work out how you do that, gives you a self-sufficiency that I think is very important. 【B5】______There are people who say that by encouraging people to go places they’re destroying them—an accusation they both deny, claiming that people would go there anyway. They admit that none of this is bad for business. ‘ All the publicity has sold our books. Questions 61—65Complete the article with the following sentences. There are two extra sentences that you do not need to use.A. Twenty-five years on, Lonely Planet has, quite literally, taken over the world.B. There has been controversy surrounding the guidebooks.C. Getting a guidebook like the Lonely Planet right can be a tricky business.D. No, it’s something about the way they take you over—you become a slave to the guidebook.E. Tony Wheel is still very actively involved in the Lonely Planet guidebooks.F. So what do they think about travel in general?G. It’s not entirely fair to blame only Tony.
61． 【B1】
正确答案：D
解析：第二段主要讲到按照Tony Wheeler书中那样去旅游或是生活，那么经历的人生就只是Tony的翻版，毫无新意。D项的意思是“不，它是一些取代你们的方式——你会成为指导书的奴隶”，正好指出了第二段的主题，故选D项。
62． 【B2】
正确答案：G
解析：文章第三段提到Tony的妻子Maureen，她和Tony一起经营公司，她也同样要被责备。G项“只责备Tony是不完全公平的”，正好在第二、三段之前起过渡作用，引出另外一个帮忙写这些书的人，符合上下文语境。
63． 【B3】
正确答案：A
解析：文章第四段主要介绍Tony和他妻子200多本各类旅游指导书已经卖出了很多份，他们公司的员工人数也不断增加，他的货车也换成了法拉利，该段主要总结了这些书给他们带来的变化。A项“连续25年，Lonely Planet这本书已经遍布全世界”，正好总结第四段的内容，引出下面的变化，故本题选A项。
64． 【B4】
正确答案：F
解析：文章第五段Wheeler夫妇讲述了他们对旅游的看法，与此相关的只有F项“因此他们总体上是怎样看待旅游的?”，第五段后面的内容正好是解释这个
问题的，故本题选F项。
65． 【B5】
正确答案：B
解析：文章最后一段提到一些人认为鼓励人们去旅游，会破坏那些风景区，而Wheeler夫妇不赞成这个看法，他们认为旅游是对经济有好处的。B项中的“controversy(争论，分歧)”正好说明了最后一段的问题，故本题选B项。
Section C
Situated at the heart of Beijing, the Palace Museum is approached through the Gate of Heavenly Peace(Tian’an men). Because of its centrality as well as restricted access, the palace was called the Forbidden City. It was built from 1406 to 1420 by the third emperor of the Ming dynasty, the Yongle Emperor who, upon usurping the throne, determined to move his capital northward from Nanjing to Beijing. The Ming dynasty fell to the Manchu Qing in 1644 and in 1911 the Qing dynasty was overthrown by the republican revolutionaries. During nearly six hundred years, twenty-four emperors lived in and ruled from this palace. The Forbidden City is surrounded by 10-metre-high walls and a 52-meter-wide moat. Measuring 961 meters from north to south and 753 meters from east to west, it covers an area of 1, 110, 000 square meters. Each of the four sides is pierced by a gate: the Meridian Gate(Wu men)on the south, the Gate of Divine Prowess(Shenwu men)on the north, the Eastern and Western Prosperity Gates(Donghua men and Xihua men). Once inside, visitors will see a succession of halls and palaces spreading out on either side of an invisible central axis. The buildings’ glowing yellow roofs levitating above vermilion walls is a magnificent sight. The painted ridges and carved beams all contribute to the sumptuous effect. Known as the Outer Court, the southern portion of the Forbidden City centers on three main halls—Hall of Supreme Harmony(Taihedian), Hall of Central Harmony(Zhonghedian), and Hall of Preserving Harmony(Baohedian). It was here in the Ourter Court that the emperor held court and conducted grand audiences. Mirroring this arrangement is the Inner Court comprising the northern portion of the Forbidden City. The Inner Court is comprised of not only the residences of the emperor and his consorts but also venues for religious rituals and administrative activities. In total, the buildings of the two courts account for an area of some 163, 000 square meters. These were precisely designed in accordance with a code of architectural hierarchy, which designated specific features to reflect the paramount authority and status of the emperor. No ordinary mortal would have been allowed or would even have dared to come within close proximity to these buildings. The Forbidden City, the culmination of the two-thousand-year development of classical Chinese and East Asian architecture, has been influential in the subsequent development of Chinese architecture , as well as providing inspiration for many artistic works. Questions 66—70 Answer the following questions according to the passage.
66． Why was the Palace given the name as “The Forbidden City”?
正确答案：Because of its centrality as well as restricted access．
解析：(文章首句就提到故宫博物馆位于北京的中心(at the heart of Beijing)，又靠近天安门，因为它的中心位置和受限制性的进出，所以就有了“紫禁城”这个名字。)
67． Who was the first emperor that lived in the Palace?
正确答案：The Yongle Emperor．
解析：(文章第一段中间提到故宫博物馆是由明朝的第三位皇帝——永乐皇帝——建造的，他将都城从南京移到了北京，因此他是第一位人住故宫博物馆的皇帝。)
68． How long is the Forbidden City?
正确答案：It is 961 meters(long)．
解析：(文章第二段提到“Measuring 961 meters from north to south and 753 meters from east towest”，可知紫禁城长为961米，宽为753米。)
69． What is the total area of the Forbidden City?
正确答案：It covers an area of 1，110，000 square meters．
解析：(文章第二段提到“it covers an area of 1，110，000 square meters”，可知紫禁城的占地面积为111万平方米。)
70． What is the main function of the Inner Court of the Forbidden City?
正确答案：It is comprised of not only the residences of the emperor and his consorts but also venues for re—ligious rituals and administrative activities．
解析：(文章第三段最后一句提到紫禁城内院的主要用途，“The Inner Court is comprised of notonly the residences of the emperor and his consorts but also venues for religious rituals and ad—ministrative activities．”，即既包含了皇帝和他的妃嫔的住所，又包含了宗教仪式和后勤活动的场地。)
Section D
Ancient Greeks thought the brain wasn’t the basis for intellect. It was the home for the soul. They believed that the process of thinking happened somewhere near lungs. The brain wasn’t seen as an organ of intellect and thought until the 17 th and 18th centuries. In order to measure intelligence, the IQ test, or the intelligence quotient test, was invented. The Standford-Binet Intelligence Scale was created in
Paris in the early 1900 s. The scale was used in Alfred Binet’s efforts to educate children with learning difficulties. Those with scores less than their respective ages were considered mentally challenged. The MENS A IQ test has also become popular. A person who scores 150 or higher on this test is considered to have exceptional intelligence. More than 10,000 people take the test every year. Some see IQ tests as an assessment of an individual’s problem-solving skills, rather than general intelligence. For example, an individual may have high analytical intelligence that is genetic. This widely held view promoted many prejudiced ideas. Since the IQ test was created from the point of view of Europeans, people of other races scored comparatively lower. Research suggests that intelligence depends on culture and class. Tests given by the U. S. military showed that blacks scored lower than whites. The difference in scores was attributed to class and education levels, not genetic factors. Black children adopted into wealthier families scored significantly higher than low-income blacks. Studies have shown that children who grow in a positive learning environment score higher on the IQ tests. Having good nutrition can also affect the scores. A new type of IQ test has surfaced later on. It’s called the EI test, or the emotional intelligence test. The test gauges the individual’s ability to manage his or her emotions. Developed by Daniel Go-leman, the test also measures how much self-awareness an individual has. Knowledge and emotional intelligence are different, experts say. A person with high emotional intelligence is able to better understand the feelings of others. Thus, they are better maintaining various relationships. Low emotional intelligence can affect intelligence. Studies have shown that emotional intelligence is connected with memory and concentration. Individuals with low emotional intelligence have more aggressiveness and less self-control. These factors can dramatically reduce IQ scores by as much as 25 percent. Questions 71—75Complete the summary with words from the passage, changing the form where necessary, with only one word for each blank. Since the early 1900s, scientists have attempted to gauge the intelligence of people. Alfred Binet’s intelligence scale and the MENSA IQ test have been used frequently over the past centuries in 【R1】______intelligence. Some studies suggest that the tests aren’t necessarily a flawless benchmark, arguing that it 【R2】______only a person’s problem-solving skills. Others think that intelligence is 【R3】______and it varies among races. New findings point to culture, class, education levels and environment as more important intelligence predictors 【R4】______genetics. A new test that measures the emotional intelligence, the ability to monitor one’s emotions, has emerged. Recent findings reveal that one’s emotional intelligence can affect one’s IQ test 【R5】______.
71． 【R1】
正确答案：measuring／gauging
解析：(文章第一段主要介绍了人们对于智商的研究，在20世纪初，Alfred Binet的IntelligenceScale和The MENSA IQ test都很流行，它们都是用来测智商，题干首句也提到了“…gauge the intelligence of people”，因此本空可填measuring
或者gauging。)
72． 【R2】
正确答案：assesses
解析：(文章第二段首句提到“Some see IQ test as an assessment of an individual’s problem—solvingskills，rather than general intelligence”，可知一些人认为智商测试只能评估一个人解决问题的能力，因此本空要填assessment的动词形式，另外主语是it，谓语动词要用单数形式。)
73． 【R3】
正确答案：genetic
解析：(文章第二、三段提到智商测试中的偏见，一般黑人的测试分数都比白人的低，因此有人认为这是基因问题，故本空应填genetic。)
74． 【R4】
正确答案：than
解析：(文章第三段提到“The differences in scores was attributed to class and education levels，notgenetic factors”，可知阶级和教育水平都是影响智商的原因，另外文中还提到了文化，生活环境和营养等等都是决定因素，而不仅仅是基因因素，根据本空前面的more和上下文语境，可知本空填than。)
75． 【R5】
正确答案：scores
解析：(文章最后一段提到一个人的情商可以影响其智商，“These factors can dramatically reduceIQ scores by as much as 25 percent”，情商低的人也会将其智商测试分数拉低25％，故本空填scores。)
Error Correction
Scientists claim that in 50 year’s time, there will be computers that 【M1】______are likely to be even more intelligent than humans. This is fascinating 【M2】______idea, but I do not believe it will really happen. It is true that computer scientists have made up fantastic inventions over 【M3】______the years. They have put tiny chips in people’s brains to help patients 【M4】______in Parkinson’s disease. They have developed computers that can 【M5】______understand things people say, and can now give a meaning answer. 【M6】______But human intelligence is better than having a bad memory. It may be 【M7】______possibly to build computers that can remember a lot more than the human 【M8】______brain. So humans can do a lot more. They laugh and cry, they enjoy a 【M9】______good film or an interesting book. To conclude, in the future, we will probably have computers that can dothings that
today we cannot even dream. But I believe human intelligence 【M10】______will always be higher than artificial intelligence.
76． 【M1】
正确答案：year’s—years’
解析：(year是可数名词，表达“50年”这一概念应该用复数形式，因此将year’s改为years’。)
77． 【M2】
正确答案：在is后加a 解析：(此处所要表达的语意是50年内电脑会比人类更聪明的想法十分有趣。idea意为“想法”，为可数名词，因此要在前面加a。)
78． 【M3】
正确答案：去掉up
解析：(make up意为“组成；补足；化妆；编造”。make inventions意为“创造，发明”。由句意可知这里没有“组成”或“编造”的含义，因此要去掉up。)
79． 【M4】
正确答案：√
80． 【M5】
正确答案：in—with
解析：(help sb．with sth．意为“帮助某人做……”，因此要将in改为with。)
81． 【M6】
正确答案：meaning--meaningful
解析：(meaning为名词，意为“意义；含义；意图”。此处所要表达的语意是“电脑现在能给出有意义的回答”。meaningful为形容词，意为“有意义的，意味深长的”。因此要将mean—ing改为meaningful。)
82． 【M7】
正确答案：bad一good
解析：(根据后一句可知，此处所要表达的概念是人工智能的记忆比人类要好，它不仅仅拥有好的记忆。因此将bad改为good。)
83． 【M8】
正确答案：possibly--possible
解析：(系动词be后面用形容词，因此将possibly改为possible。)
84． 【M9】
正确答案：So—But
解析：(前一句所表达的语意是，电脑的记忆可能比人类的记忆要好。此句的语意是，人类能做更多的事。二者之间是转折关系，不是因果关系，因此将so改为but。)
85． 【M10】
正确答案：dream后加of
解析：(dream作“做梦，梦见”时，为不及物动词。dream of意为“梦想，梦见”。)
Part Ⅴ Translation
Section A
86． Opera is an art that brings music, singing, and drama together on stage. The first operas were performed in Italy in the early 1600 s. These operas were based on ancient Greek myths and accompanied by simple melodies. The early composers of opera called their work “ drama through music” because they felt the music was the key to expressing an idea or emotion. Although the first operas were performed for the aristocracy, by the 1700s many operas were being performed for the public.
正确答案：歌剧是一种将音乐、歌唱和戏剧皆呈于舞台的艺术形式。十七世纪初期，意大利出现了最初的歌剧表演。这些表演以希腊神话为基础，拥有简单的曲调。因为早期的歌剧作曲家认为音乐是表达思想和情感的关键，因此他们将歌剧称为“透过音乐展现的戏剧”。虽然最初的歌剧只为贵族表演，但到了十八世纪，歌剧也开始为大众表演。

89． 当你以积极的态度对待生活时，生活会呈现新的面貌。(take on)
正确答案：When you take a positive attitude towards life，life will take on a new look．
解析：(“对……采取积极的态度”用“take a positive attitude toward sth．”来表达；take on意为“呈现；具有”；“面貌”可以用“look”或“appearance”来表达。)
90． 教育部要求，课外活动应作为学校生活的一部分。(require)
正确答案：The Ministry of Education requires that extra—curricular activities be made part of school life．

Part Ⅶ Writing
Task Ⅰ 97． Write a report in 120 words based on the information in the following chart. Write on the answer sheet.
正确答案： This chart gives us an overall picture of the total number of Chinese tourist traveling overseas from 2008 to 2012. Besides, it also predicts the number of Chinese tourist traveling overseas in 2020, which is about 25, 000. We can see from the chart that the total number is always in increase: on the whole the increase rate is quite steady from 2008 to 2012: the total number in 2012, which is 8, 318, is about two times as much as the total number in 2008: while the chart shows almost a threefold increase in the total number from 2012 to 2020. Seeing from the chart, we could get the conclusion that people’s economic conditions have been largely improved.
Task Ⅱ
98． In order to lessen pollution for the economic forum, Beijing and its neighbouring regions imposed tough emissions-reduction measures that greatly improved air quality and the phrase “APEC blue” was coined on social media to describe the clear sky that came with a heavy price tag. Some said that APEC also stands for “Air Pollution Eventually Controlled” while others defined “APEC Blue” as “something that is beautiful but transient, almost like an illusion. “ What is your opinion on the issue? Write an article in no less than 160 words on the answer sheet.
正确答案： In order to hold the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting, the Chinese government has created a clear blue sky in Beijing. City residents have given it a name: “APEC Blue”. Some said that APEC stands for “Air pollution Eventually Controlled” , while I agree with the opinion that the “APEC Blue” is just a transient illusion. A series of measures have been taken to reduce the Beijing smog during the APEC meeting, including limiting the number of cars, granting and suspending production in factories. However, all those measures are just a flash in the pan. A short-term change cannot get rid of the root of pollution. Perhaps we can learn from Britain in lessening pollution. In 1952, the Great Smog killed 4, 000 people in four days in London. After that, Britain passed its first air pollution act, which stipulated that all power plants should be shut down, factories must build taller chimneys, and the heating system must be improved in London. Without a long-term strategy, the “APEC Blue” will never be transformed into a permanent “Beijing Blue”.
