Section A

More and more young women want to look beautiful. Young women?s desire to achieve the figure of a fashion model has an 50 form of expression in the problem of anorexia nervosa. Anorexia nervosa is a(n) 51 disorder which occurs largely among young girls; 52 , it is also found among some of the young women, and in some cases, among boys.

Anorexia nervosa is 53 starvation attitudes toward food, and distorted (扭曲的) body image. 54 they are often extremely thin, anorexic girls believe that they are fat and are 55 on dieting. Their perceptions of their own bodies are very much distorted. They do not see themselves as thin but 56 , as fat. Most 57 of anorexia lose 25 percent or more of their body fat. Anorexia also causes them to become weak. From five to six percent of anorexics __58 _die from starvation.

Anorexia, which means “without food”, seems to be quite 59 among young girls, although it was 60 a problem twenty years ago. The 61 of Anorexia is not known. Researchers are trying to find out its 62 but it is related to a psychological (心理的) need. One theory is that they want to avoid becoming an adult, since starvation can 63 down physical growth and the beginning of puberty(青春期). Another theory is that anorexia is related to refusal of the mother figure or to being the daughter of an overly protective and controlling mother. By being anorexic, the girl shows her ability to _64 _at least one aspect of her own life.

In addition, researchers note that the problem may result in a wrong body image---the ideal of female beauty of being very thin.

A

Today?s dad spends more hours on childcare than a dad a generation ago. But he still lags behind the modern-day mom, even when her wages are equal, a new study reports. Researchers found that the number of hours a mother spent at work had no effect on the amount of time a father devoted to childcare during the week. Similarly, a mother?s income had very little influence o n fathers? involvement in childcare. On weekends, however, fathers spent more time with their children. Despite women?s increasing role in the labor market, most mothers remain the primary caregivers of young children on weekdays.

Researchers found that fathers spent an average of 2.5 hours on a weekday and about 6 hours on a weekend day with their children. This included time spent playing together or doing schoolwork, personal care such as bathing and feeding. On weekdays, children spent one-third less time with their fathers than with their mothers, but on weekends the time gap closed and kids spent only 13% more time with their mothers than with their fathers. Children of women who made more money spent more time with their fathers on weekends, however. “The good news is that as women become equal contributing partners, the relative invol vement of fathers does increase,” one researcher said. “The bad news is that men still do less on traditional women?s jobs —(taking care of) babies, dishes, etc.”

In other findings, fathers with some college education spent 17 more minutes per weekday with their children than dads without any college education. Fathers who made more money spent less time with children on weekdays, but the amount of time was fairly small. “Our findings suggest that although mothers still shoulder most parenting, fathers? in volvement relative to that of mothers appears to be on the increase,” the researchers conclude. “A …new father? role is emerging on weekends in families.”65．The underlined word“This” in the second paragraph refers to _________.

A．the study reported in the text

B．the role a father plays in childcare

C．time a father spends with his children on weekends

D．time a father spends with his children during the whole week

A．Fathers are more involved but mothers are still main caregivers.

C．Education is the key to the improvement of women?s good health and happiness.

D．Women have become equal contributing partners of income in a family.

68．Which of the words below best describes the researchers? attitude towards a “new father” role?

Just the mention of the TOEFL, GRE and GAMT exams brings a thought of long hours of dull paper work. But that idea is becoming increasingly out of date. As planned, computerized tests will begin next year which will bring a series of changes from test psychology to scoring techniques.

From computer - equipped rooms, examinees will answer the questions on a computer. If they are sure about their choices, they can pass to the next question by pressing the entry(条目) “next”. Then anoth er question will be randomly(任意地)selected from a vast test item bank and appear on the screen. After answering all the questions, examinees can choose the entry “quit” if they are not satisfied with their performance, or “score” if they want to see the res ult. Scores will be calculated immediately and appear on the screen. By that point, student's marks are official--there is no going back.

Since they greatly shorten the painful waiting process-which used to be two or three months, computerized tests have won worldwide popularity. Besides, there will be no rushing to the registration offices( 登记处)for these exams. Computerized tests will be given every workday in an exam center with all three kinds of tests being held in the same room. All test takers need to do is to call the exam center and book their seats for a particular day.

In addition it will become technically possible to apply new testing procedures. In the past，each examinee had the same set of test items despite differences in their ability. Under a computerized system, however, if the computer judges an answer is right, a question of a relatively difficult nature will follow. But if an examinee continues to give wrong answers and is judged as un-qualified by the computer system, he will be automatically denied the chance to go further in the test.

73. Computerized tests allow the examinee to know their scores .

A. immediately on a central computer for scoring test papers

B. a few minutes after the exam with the help of a test center worker

C. on the next day after they have taken the exam

D. immediately after the exam by means of the same computer

74. If an examinee is not satisfied with his performance .

A. he can admit defeat and give it up

B. he can ask the computer to give some advice

C. he can ask another chance within a few days

D. he is allowed to do it once again

75. Under a computerized system, all of the following would be possible except that .

A. different exams can be taken in the same room

B. o ne doesn?t need to rush to the registration officer for taking an exam

C. it will be much easier to pass an examination

D. one can take an exam almost at any time of the year

D

A team of researchers from the University of California, San Francisco, reported that middle- aged men without wives were actually twice as likely to die during a 10 — year span as men with wives. It was the kind of news that swept through offices and watering holes — and it made people feel conceited or anxious, depending on their circumstances.

Davis?s team had set out to examine the effect of various living arrangements on mortality (the number of death from a certain cause). Because of the buffering (缓冲作用) social support marriage is known to provide, Davis and her colleagues fully expected to find that men and women living alone did worst in survival rates. It came as some surprise, however, that in their study

population, subjects who shared living quarters with people other than a spouse had the same lower survival rates as those who lived by themselves. 'The critical factor," Davis says, "seems to be the presence of a spouse."

The lower survival rates for the spouseless were found primarily in men who were widowed(丧偶), separated or divorced, rather than in those who had never been married. Emotional and social factors probably played a role in higher mortality among the spouseless men. The researchers will analyze questionnaires that asked how frequently the men felt worried, nervous or poorly rested. But the team will also look at the causes of death; if the men without wives show higher rates of suicide or fatal accidents, it?s likely that emotional stress contributed to their higher mortality rate.

Davis has already discovered that the married men reported a significantly higher level of well- being than those who weren?t married. So perhaps the explanation for their longer survival isn?t really so complicated. Because they are cared for by nurturing wives, they just plain feel happier than the other guys do. And what better reason than that for staying alive?

76. What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. The mortality of middle- aged men is closely related to their well - being.

B. The mortality of middle- aged men is directly proportional to their wives' survival rates.

C. The mortality of middle- aged men is not in proportion to their divorce rates.

D. The mortality of middle- aged men is closely related to their marriage condition.

77. The news reported makes .

A. the widowers happy and the widows worried

B. the married happy and the spouseless worried

C. the divorced happy and the separated worried

D. the widowed happy and the spouse worried

78. It seems that in terms of survival rates .

A. widowed men are easier to be hurt than widowed women

B. married men are easier to be hurt than married women

C. married women are easier to be hurt than married men

D. widowed women are easier to be hurt than widowed men

79. It can be predicted, while looking at the cause of death, researchers will .

A. remove certain health factors

B. consider the circumstances

C. consider racial support

D. remove certain emotional factors

80. _______

In the 1960s, people asked about your astrological sign. In the 1990s, they wanted to know your website. These days, having a Web address is almost as important as a street address. You website is an electronic meeting place for your family, friends and potentially, millions of people around the world. Best of all, you may not have to spend a cent. The Web is filled with all kinds of free services and all it takes is some time and creativity.

81. _______

Think of your home page as the starting point of your website. Like the table of contents of a book or a magazine, the home page is the front door. Your site can have one or more pages, depending on how you design it. While web pages vary greatly in their design and content, most use a traditional magazine layout. At the top of the page is a banner GRAPHIC. Next comes a greeting and a short description of the site. Pictures, texts, and links to other websites follow.

82. _______

Before you start building your site, do some planning. Think about whom the site is for and what you want to say. Next, gather up the material that you want to put on the site. Draw a rough layout on a sheet of paper.

83. _______

While there are no rules you have to follow, there are a few things to keep in mind: start simply. If you are too ambitious at the beginning, you may never get the site off the ground. You can always add to your site. Less is better. Most people don?t like to read a lot of text online. Break it into small pieces. Smaller is better. Most people connect to the Internet with a modem. Since it can take a long time to download large image files, keep the file sizes small. Don?t put any material on your site unless you are sure you ca n do it legally. Learn the Net?s Copyright Article for more about this.

84. _______

Now it?s time to roll up your sleeves and start building. Learning the Net Communities provides tools to help you build your site.

Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.

Robert Edwards was blinded in an automobile accident nine years age. He was also partially deaf because of old age. Last week, he was walking near his home when a thunder-storm approached. He took shelter under a tree and was struck by lightning. He was knocked to the ground and woke up some 20 minutes later, lying face down in water below a tree. He went into the house and lay down in bed. a short time later, he awoke; his legs couldn't move and he was trembling, but, when he opened his eyes, he could see the clock across the room in front of him. When his wife entered, he saw her for the first time in nine years. Doctors confirm that he has regained his sight and hearing apparently from the flash of lightning, but they are unable to explain the reason. The only possible explanation offered by one doctor was that, since Edwards lost his sight as a result of a hard blow in a terrible accident, perhaps the only way it could be restored was by another blow.

Questions:

11. What caused Robert Edwards's blindness?

12. Which was the first thing that he saw after being struck by lightning?

13. What caused Edwards to regain his sight according to one of the doctors?

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following news.

This is ten o'clock news.

BEIJING . China successfully launched its second navigation satellite early Wednesday, as part of the country's independent global satellite navigation system. The carrier rocket, Long March, blasted off from the Sichang Satellite Launch Center in southwest China's Sichuan Province at 0:16 am. The successful launch of the geostationary Earth orbit satellite was of great importance as it was the second one of the country's satellite navigation system independent from foreign technology.

Kamien pomorski. Poland. Survivors of a fire that killed 21 people at a three-story shelter for homeless families in Poland on Monday, described a fast-moving tragedy that forced some people to jump from windows into trees. Six of the victims were children and another 20 people were injured, most of whom sustained broken bones after leaping from the building to escape the fire in the northwestern city of Kamien Pomorski.

Washington. President Barack Obama proclaimed signs of economic progress Tuesday, but also warned Americans, eager for good news that "by no means are we out of the woods." "There is no doubt that times are still tough," Obama said, according to excerpts ,of his speech released in advance by the White House. "But from where we stand," he said, "for the very first time, we are beginning to see the light of hope. And beyond that, way off in the distance, we can see a vision of an America's future that is far different than our troubled economic past." Now listen again.

Questions:

14. When did our second navigation satellite launch?

15.How many people were killed in the big fire in Poland?

16.What can we learn from the U.S president's saying according to the last piece of news?

Part C Longer Conversations

Directions: In Part C, you will hear two longer conversations. The conversations will be read twice. After you hear the conversation, you are required to fill in the numbered blanks with the words you've heard. Write your answer in your answer sheet.

Blanks 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.

Linda, I've heard it said that you are not a "true man" until you've stood on the Great Wall. I'd like to visit the Wall this weekend. Do you know how I can get there?

There are two ways to go there. You could go there directly by bus or train, or you could join a group tour.

Is one way better than the other?

Going with a group is certainly more convenient. Everything is taken care of for you, including lunch and tickets to places of interest along the way. It usually costs around 100 Yuan.

That sounds like a good deal.

On the other hand, if you go directly, you won't stop along the way, which means you can spend more time at the Wall itself. It's also cheaper.

Well, I like to go off on my own. I think going directly would be better for me. Thank you for your advice!

You are welcome.

Complete the form. Write no more than two WORDS for each answer.

Blanks 21 through 24 are based on the following conversation.

Hi Jerry, What's wrong with you?

Oh hi Peter. I didn't hear you approaching.

You were really lost in thought, Or were you sleeping?

No, I wasn't sleeping, just thinking.

About what?

Well, I'll be going back home to visit my family for a couple of weeks.

That's great. It's been a while since you've seen them, hasn't it?

Yes, it's been quite a while.

So, you must be thinking about how happy you'll be to see them again.

Dear Mr. Smith,

I feel greatly honored to inform you of my detailed plan for your one-day trip in Shanghai.

What’s your first impression about Shanghai? Whatever it is, I’m sure that you’ll give a completely new

definition to it after our one-day trip.

Shanghai, one of the biggest international cities, is famous for its high modernalization in this age of scientific advancement. However, there’re still some places that refuse to change, and Qibao Ancient Town is exactly one of them. I’d like to bring you to the Qibao Old Street at 9:00 a.m. That street is every inch a Chinese street. With old but friendly crowds in the middle and diverse but mouthwatering ethnic foods before your eyes, I’m sure you’ll enjoy your wonderful heyday!

After a short break in the noon, we’ll set foot on the beach in Fengxian to admire the beauty and elegance of nature. There, you’ll find weathered rocks quietly lying near the beach telling its past and little cute crabs settled in the beach peering their heads out now and then. Never can you find a place elsewhere in the world where the nature and people mix so well as a whole. So just enjoy the company of sunshine and gentle wind.

And that’s the end of our trip. Feel a little bit short? Well, it’s said that once you come to Shanghai, you’re bound to return. So leave your phone number to me and I’ll be ready all the time for your next visit.

Early in the morning, you will be sent to Pudong and visit the Oriental Pearl TV Tower. As we all know, the Oriental Pearl TV Tower is one of the most famous tourist att ractions in Shanghai, and there’s no denying that it’s one of the symbols of Shanghai. Stand on the top, and you’ll enjoy a bird’s eye view of the urban area of Shanghai.

After enjoying the breathtaking view, you can get to your second destination by underground. Get off at Nanjing Road Station, and you will enjoy yourselves at various shopping malls. I’m sure you’ll be satisfied with this “shopping paradise”.

Do you feel hungry after doing shopping? Then, take a rest in a café or a restaurant near the Bund and have your lunch with so much beautiful landscape surrounding you. After lunch, you will depart for Yu Garden and learn about a traditional Shanghai. There, you can taste traditional Chinese snacks and buy some gifts for your relatives and friends.

As the sky turns dark, charming night view of Shanghai is waiting for you. Colorful lights will take you a ride into a romantic land as the sightseeing bus running on the road. Time permitting, you can visit the Expo area near the Huangpu River and take some spectacular photos.

As an international city, Shanghai will use its magnificent buildings and splendid view to welcome you. I hope you will enjoy your time here.

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) Once just a science fiction idea, VR has now become more accessible than ever. (25) _________ (wear) a pair of VR goggles connected to your computer and you can experience a lot of things without stepping out of the room. From climbing (26) _________ (high) mountain in the world to flying a spacecraft, the things you can experience with VR are limitless. This new 'reality ' is starting to takeover China. The Report on Chinese VR Users' Behavior was released on March 18 during the 12th TFC Global Mobile Game Conference & Intelligent Entertainment Expo held in Beijing. The report is based on a survey of 5,626 people, (27) _________ (age) between 15 and 39, from across the country. It shows that up to 68.5 percent of people have heard of or are interested in VR products. But surprisingly, it isn't new technology that has made VR so popular. 'VR has been (28) _________ for many years, but it will stick this time because there's enough computer power and the price will just keep going down,' Todd Richmond, a VR group member with the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers in the US, told USA Today. VR (29) _________ (expect) to change various different fields. For example, VR could be used to train pilots and miners before they had to actually risk their lives in highly dangerous working environments, or to treat patients with acrophobia(恐高症）by making them think they were standing on top of a high building. 'If you have perfect virtual reality, (30) _________ you'll be able to simulate everything that a human can experience or imagine experiencing,it's hard to imagine where you go from there,' Palmer Luckey, 23 inventor of the Oculus VR goggles, told NPR.

It could take (32) _________ while for VR to be widely accepted. When every new technology is first introduced, the technology (33) _________ is the driving force.

(B) It has become the talk of the town: A stranger allegedly attacked a woman in a Beijing hotel at night on April 3. The man is said to have clutched her by the neck and attempted to drag her into the elevator. Lodgers passed by, but no one tried to intervene until one woman did. Her actions are believed to (34) _________ (save) the victim from whatever was going to happen to her. The incident has pushed the risks of solo traveling into the spotlight.

III. Reading Comprehension 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. B Kettlebells do not hurt people. People do. A kettlebell will get your respect – the easy way or the hard way. Here is the easy way. 1. Get a medical clearance. Get clearance, especially from an orthopedist and a cardiologist. The latter is no joking matter, since kettlebell training can be extremely intense. 2. Always be aware of your surroundings. Find a training area with a non-slippery surface on which you are not afraid to drop a kettlebell. The area must be clear of objects you might trip over – including other kettlebells – or that you might hit with a kettlebell. There should be no people or animals in a radius where you could injure them. 3. Train barefoot or wear shoes with a flat, thin sole and room for the toes to spread. Training barefoot is superior for health and performance reasons. If you must wear shoes, wear Converse Chuck Taylors, Vibram Five Fingers, or similar shoes that have thin soles and do not pinch the toes together. You have sensory receptors on the bottoms of your feet that make you stronger and improve balance and coordination. Wearing traditional shoes diminishes the ability of these receptors to work properly, and therefore inhibits performance and can increase the risk of injury. Go native. 4. Never contest for space with a kettlebell. Do not try to save a rep that has gone wrong. Guide the kettlebell to fall harmlessly, and move out of the way if necessary. And remember, quick feet are happy feet. 5. Practice all safety measures at all times. Respect every kettlebell, even the lightest one. Always use perfect form picking up and setting down a kettlebell. The set is not over until the bell is safely parked.
