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.

Nursing, as a typically female profession, must deal constantly with the false impression that nurses are there to wait on the position. As nurses, we are licensed to provide nursing care only. We do not have any legal or moral obligation to any physician. We provide health teaching, __41__ physical as well as emotional problems, coordinate patient-related services and make all of our nursing decisions based upon what is best or suitable for the patient. If, in any circumstance, we feel that the physician‟s order is __42__ or unsafe, we have a legal responsibility to __43__that order or refuse to carry it out. Nursing is not a nine-to-five job with every weekend off. All nurses are aware of that before they enter the __44__. The emotional and physical stress, however, which __45__ due to hard working hours is a prime reason for a lot of the career __46__. It is sometimes required that we work overtime and that we change shifts four or five times a month. That disturbs our personal lives, disrupts our sleeping and eating habits, and isolates us from everything except __47__ friends and activities. The quality of nursing care is being affected dramatically by these situations. Most hospitals are now staffed by new graduates as experienced nurses finally give up trying to change the system. Consumers of medically-related services have evidently not been affected enough yet to demand __48__ in our medical system. But if __49__ continue as predicted, they will find that most critical hospital care will be provided by new, inexperienced and sometimes inadequately-trained nurses.

In fact, studies of accomplished artists and mathematicians, and top tennis players and swimmers, have reported few early signs of __57__ in these people before any parental encouragement. No case has been found of anyone reaching the highest levels of achievement without __58__ himself or herself to thousands of hours of serious training. Even those who are believed to be exceptionally talented — whether in music, mathematics, chess, or sports — have needed lengthy periods of instruction and practice to achieve their highest level of success. „The persistent false belief that some people reach high levels of performance without spending numerous hours practising __59__ much to the fact that their practice is usually outside the casual observer‟s view,‟ stated one scientist.

The importance of practice has been noticed in athletics. For instance, differences in the composition of certain muscles were once thought to be __60__ predictors of athletic performance. However, the differences in the proportion of certain muscle fibers(组织) that are __61__ for success in long-distance running are largely the result of extended practice in running.

„What makes a genius then?‟ one may ask. __62__, there is no clear answer. What is known, however, is that „nurture‟ is at least as important as „nature.‟ __63__, a supportive environment will do far more for a child‟s prospects of success than any inborn gifts. This is a message that most of us will find __64__ — even if we haven‟t won the gene lottery, our fate is still in our own hands.

Section B

Directions: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, and C. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

(A) You are walking along a lane and never know what you will find. It might be a shop selling oil paintings, or a place where you can buy Dutch cheese. One thing is for sure, you will end up by a canal.

Welcome to Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands.

The year 2013 will be a good time to explore Amsterdam as the city has a lot to celebrate: the famous canal ring will turn 400 years old. Amsterdam will also celebrate the 160th birthday of Dutch painter of the Van Gogh museum, home to the biggest collection of the artist’s colorful works.

The famous canal ring is a trademark of the city. With more than 100 kilometers of canals, it is no wonder that Amsterdam is called the ‘Venice of the north’. But unlike the Italian town, where boats were originally used for transport, the canals in Amsterdam were mainly used for defense in the 17th century.

(C) Seligman is leading the research on what might be called Happiness Revolution in psychology. Since World War II, psychologists have focused on fixing what is broken —repairing psychosis（精神病）, and neurosis（精神衰弱）. Research has piled up steadily when it comes to looking at patients who are neurotic, while the happy or joyful people among us have received little scientific examination.

When Seligman did a search to find academic articles about such ‘positive psychology’ he found only 800 out of 70,000. ‘Psychologists tend to be concerned with taking a negative 8 person, and helping him get to negative 2,’ said Seligman, a psychology professor of the University of Pennsylvania. ‘My aim is toÊ

In the last 50 years, statistics have shown that we are less happy as a people. ‘While our quality of life has increased dramatically over that time, and we’ve become richer, we’re in an epidemic of depression,’ Seligman said. ‘Depression is 10 times more common now, and life satisfaction rates are down as well.’ Seligman argues that the new science he writes about is shifting psychology’s model away from its narrow-minded focus on mental illness towards positive emotion, virtue and strength that increase people’s happiness. If you want to be happy, forget about winning the lottery（抽奖）, getting a nose job, or securing a raise. In his new book, Authentic Happiness, psychologist Martin Seligman argues that overall lifetime happiness is not the result of good genes, money, or even luck. Instead, he says we can increase our own happiness by making use of the strengths and virtues that we already have, including kindness, originality, humor, optimism, and generosity. He has named the field ‘Positive Psychology,’ arguing that we would be better off building on our own strengths rather than mourning, and, hence, trying to repair, our weaknesses. By frequently calling upon their strengths, people can build up natural barriers against misfortune and negative emotions, he said.

Science has shown that there are several distinct roads to being a happy person — though happiness might not mean what you think. Material goods — even simple ones like ice cream, and massages — are only stimulating things that rapidly give people a boost.

To cultivate happiness, we must first find out our individual strengths and virtues. Next, apply the qualities in such a way as to enhance your happiness-generating system. 72. A. evaluating the psychological state of people

B. making a study of people who suffer from mental illness

C. focusing the scientific examination on the happy or joyful people

D. figuring out the exact number of the academic articles about ‘positive psychology’ 73. What does Seligman mean by saying Âtake a plus 2 person and boost him to a plus 6Ê?

A. We should focus on happy or joyful people.

B. We need more and more happy and joyful people.

C. It’s difficult to make people happy from a plus 2 to plus 6. D. Happy people also need to improve their level of happiness.

74. According to the passage, which of the statements might Martin Seligman support?

A. Promotion leads to true happiness.

B. We can rely on our strengths for happiness. C. Intelligent people are usually more satisfied. D. Mental illness should be the focus of psychology. 75. The passage mainly talks about .

A. strengths and happiness B. ways to cultivate happiness C. development of psychology D. effect of positive psychology

Section C

Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.

B. What was your role?

C. How did you become involved in Interpol?

D. How was the Interpol office run on a local level? E. How is it different from other police organizations? F. What did you find most interesting about your work?

A journalist is interviewing Charles Chang, who is recently retired, about life as an Interpol agent. Interpol is the popular name of the International Criminal Police Organization (ICPO). 76.

Sometimes people think that Interpol is some sort of international police force, but it isn’t. Its agents arrest people, but they don’t chase criminals from country to country. Instead, each ICPO member sets up a central bureau that acts as a window for joint operations and exchanging information on criminal activities. Let’s say, for example, that police in Australia are looking for a criminal in Thailand. The Australian police might not know which police agencies they should deal with. They might also experience language barriers. Interpol acts as a local contact to help police from different countries overcome those problems. 77.

Originally, I worked as a police office of the foreign affairs police. Then in 1982, I passed the detective’s test for the Criminal Investigation Bureau (CIB) and was assigned to the Interpol Division. My first task was to attend an ICPO conference in Paris, France, with the director of Interpol Taipei, China. That was my first trip abroad. 78. I was a police captain from 1982 to 1989. My job was basically to investigate criminal cases that involved a second country. Since criminal cases are usually urgent, I spent a lot of time communicating with agencies from other countries. When we received information on a crime, we took the necessary actions. We made a search or made an arrest. 79. When I was involved, international policing was the responsibility of the CIB. There were two sections at Interpol Taipei, China. The first was a communications section that kept in contact with other communications sections all over the world. The second provided operational support services. Like other police at the CIB, its officers were all detectives selected from universities. They had to speak and write in a foreign language like English, Japanese, Spanish or French. 80. It was very challenging work, but it gave me lots of opportunities to travel and study abroad. Oh, and I was once responsible for sending two dangerous criminals back from Japan!

Section D

Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.

We delight in the stories passed down to us by older generations. Tales from the past reveal our loved ones’ true personalities that we didn’t know before and can unite family members. But they are still just small pieces from a lifetime of experience, leaving a wealth of personal memories and stories that

can go untold.

A growing company, LifeBook, is helping people to ensure that the rich, personal histories of our loved ones can be captured in detail in elegant, well-crafted books that can be handed down through the generations. These individual autobiographies, professionally written and illustrated with photographs, hold a lifetime of memories and can form an everlasting family legacy.

Linden, who commissioned(委托写) a book on her father from LifeBook, said, ‘It has been a wonderful thing, both for myself and my father. He was quite worried about it at first, but once it got going he established a very good relationship with Will, his interviewer, and I know they had lots of fun and laughs. He started looking forward to the meetings very much, someone showing interest in

him outside the family.’

Now, LifeBook is becoming increasingly popular as a gift, requested by sons and daughters who wish to preserve the memories of their older loved ones for future generations. The process of creating a LifeBook brings family members closer together as they learn more about the family’s past. And for the authors, LifeBook gives them a project to focus on. It also gives them the benefits of face-to-face companionship in the weekly interviews.

For Linden, it was a highly positive experience, ‘I feel very happy because I have given my father this huge gift. It has made him happier and he’s got a newfound interest in life. He’s got more

Teachers always have found that teaching and learning become interesting and enjoyable when students are actively involved in the lesson. Their active engagement, however, does not come automatically. In most cases, teachers have to find ways to get them (involve).

Hai K. P. Huynh, an English teacher at American-Vietnamese International English Centre in Da Nang, Vietnam, demonstrates teachers can get students actively engaged in the learning process and take charge of their learning by giving them the opportunities to find and correct mistakes The effective way is to prepare an activity students take over the role of correcting mistakes which is normally done by the teacher. The teacher purposefully becomes the ‘mistake maker ’.

This technique can bring forth several benefits. For instance, by switching the role of the ‘mistake corrector’, the teacher can often observe that students get excited. The degree of excitement (increase) when the class is divided into two teams to compete with each other in finding and correcting the mistakes.

Another benefit is that they have the opportunity to identify the possible mistakes themselves instead of the teacher teacher check his or her students’ understanding of a grammar point or comprehension of a reading task. It can be used to reinforce and improve their production skills such as writing and pronunciation.

The activity is a simple technique it is very effective getting students' attention and participation. It can easily be developed teachers’ needs.

It’s likely that your (big) ambition as a Senior 3 student is to enter a good university this time next year. But makes your dream university “good” enough?

An excellent reputation and high rankings are certainly important, according to a survey (conduct) by Shanghai Municipal Education Commission in 50 Shanghai high schools this summer. Among the 400 students, nearly 64 percent favored universities with top rankings and outstanding academic performance records.

“Compared with lower-ranking universities, a household name on the first-level list usually means more advanced facilities, better lectures and more opportunities. These will all help me settle down to a successful university experience,” said Qiu chenhao,17 of Shanghai’s Jianping High School.

However, great universities are defined by other factors as well. Over 63 percent think that ideal university should have an environment with research freedom, (allow) their students to experiment, succeed and sometimes fail. And a similar number of students believe

that a good university produce graduates who are particularly sought after by employers.

the fact that employability is highly valued, about 28 percent say that rich history and tradition are a priority for great universities.

Section B (10分)

Directions: Complete the passage with the words in the box.. Each word can only be used once.

In the past few decades, the popular belief in the area of organizational behavior and psychology has been that workers are better workers. However, new research at the University of Alberta shows that sad workers are more Psychologist Dr. Robert Sinclair recently conducted a series of four studies the effects of experimentally induced (诱发的) happiness versus sadness on work by

asking the participants to build circuit boards. In the first study, sad people committed few errors than did happy people, but there was no difference in the number of boards .

In similar studies Sinclair found the same results along with the evidence that happy people might not as much energy to the task in order to maintain their happy moods ---- they considered that task as something that might detract from their feelings.

These findings are not surprising, said Sinclair, since there has been a growing body of literature in the area of social psychology that sad moods lead to more calm lengthy intent consideration and often, more thought or accurate judgments. So it’s important for organizations to take into account the of their employees. It seems it could be beneficial to creating situations that lead people to believe that performing their jobs will cause them to feel good.

If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and, as a result, we are growing old unnecessarily soon.

Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why quite healthy in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a rather early age, and how the speed of getting old could be slowed down.

With a team of researchers at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages with different jobs. Computer technology helped the researchers to get most exact measurements of the volume of the front and side parts of the brain, which have something to do with intellect and feelings, and decide the human character. As we all know, the back part of the brain, which controls task like eating and breathing, does not contract with age.

Contraction of front and side parts—as cells die off—was seen in some people in their thirties, but it was still not found in some sixty and seventy-year-olds.

Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to prevent the contraction—using the head.

The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. “Those with least possibility,” says Matsuzawa, “are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing the same work day after day in government offices are, however, as possible to have contracting brains as the farm worker, bus driver and

shop assistant.”

A. at what point people grow mentally old

68. The doctors’ tests show that _____.

A. our brains contract as we grow older

B. one part of the brain does not contract

C. sixty-year-olds have better brains than thirty-year-olds

D. some people’s brains have contracted earlier than other people’s

69. The most possible conclusion of the passage is that _____.

A. most of us take more exercise

B. it’s better to live in the town

C. the brain contracts if it is not used

D. the more one uses his brain, the sooner he becomes old

( B )

During the next several weeks I went completely to the wolves. I took a tiny tent and set it up on the shore of bay. The big telescope was set up in the mouth of the tent in such a way that I could observe the wolves by day or night.

Quite by accident I had pitched (set up) my tent within ten yards of one of the major paths used by the wolves. Shortly after I had taken up residence one of the wolves came back and discovered me and my tent, but he did not stop or hesitate in his pace. Later, one or more wolves used the track past my tent and never did they show the slightest interest in me. I felt uncomfortable at being so totally ignored. The next day I noticed a male wolf make boundary markers by passing water on the rounds of his family lands.

Once I had become aware of the strong feeling of property rights which existed among the wolves, I decided to use this knowledge to make them at least recognize my existence. One evening, after they had gone off for their regular nightly hunt I staked out a property of my own, including a long section of the wolves’ path. In order to ensure that my claim would not be overlooked, I made a property mark on stones, dumps of moss, and patches of vegetation with a lot of tea. Before the hunters came back, task was done, and I retired, somewhat exhausted, to observe results. A few minutes later, the leading male appeared. As usual he did not bother to glance at the tent, but when he reached the point where my property line intersected (cut across) the trail, he stopped as suddenly as if he had run into an invisible wall.

Cautiously, he extended his nose and sniffed at one of my marked bushes. After a minute of hesitation he backed away a few yards and sat down. Then, he looked directly at the tent and at me.

His glare seemed to become more fierce as I attempted to stare him down. The situation was

becoming intolerable. To break the impasse I turned my back on the wolf. Then quickly and with an air of decision, he turned his attention away from me and began a systematic tour of the area I had staked out as my own. As he came to each boundary marker he sniffed it once or twice, then carefully placed his mark on the outside of mine.

70. Why did the wolves manage to ignore the author’s presence?

A. Because his tent was out of the wolves’ estate boundaries.

B. Because the author and the wolves were already good friends.

C. Because they did not know him at all.

D. Because the wolves were afraid of strangers.

71. Which is TRUE according to the passage ?

A. The author likes staring matches esp. with wolves.

B. Staking the land was very easy.

C. Wolves can see the estate boundaries clearly with their eyes.

D. The author managed to know why the wolves ignore his presence.

72. What was the author’s discovery?

A. Wolves were not settled beasts, as is almost universally believed.

B. Wolves were settled beasts and the possessors of an estate with definite boundaries.

C. Wolves were not interested with strangers.

D. Wolves’ family was dominated by a female.

73. Why did the author stake out an area of his own?

A. Because he thought it better to be stared at than to be ignored.

B. Because he didn’t want the wolves to use the track past his tent.

C. Because he wanted the wolves to take cognizance of his existence.

D. Because he wanted to find out how fierce the wolf’s glare was.

( C )

We often use the words growth and development as if they meant essentially the same thing. But this may not always be the case. One can easily imagine instances in which a country has achieved higher levels of income (growth) with little or no benefit coming to most of its citizens (development).

In the past, most development policies were aimed increasing the growth rate of income per capita. Many still are, based on the theory that benefits of economic growth will come to all members of society. If this theory is correct, growth should promote development.

By the early 1970s, however, the relationship between growth and development was being questioned. A major study by the World Bank in 1974 concluded that it is now clear that more than a decade of rapid growth in underdeveloped countries has been of little benefit to a third of their population.

The World Bank study indicated that increases in GNP per capita did not promise important improvements in such development indicators as nutrition, health, and education. Although GNP per capita did indeed rise, its benefits come down to only a small part of the population. This realization gave rise to a call for new development policies. These new policies favored agriculture over industry, called for domestic redistribution of income and wealth, and encouraged programs to satisfy such basic needs as food and shelter.

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the international macroeconomic crises of high oil prices,
