October 31st is Halloween. On that night, children around the United States will wear special clothing and make up their faces to look like frightening 26 . These little vampires, ghosts and witches will walk around their neighborhoods, 27 doors and yelling “trick or treat.” If the people in the homes do not give them a sweet treat, candy, the children may play a trick on them.

Many homes are also 28 for Halloween. People hang toy spiders, skeletons and other 29 decorations on trees and bushes. Pumpkins are also popular. People often empty the pumpkins and 30 frightening faces on them. Then they place a candle inside so the pumpkin face 31 in the night.

Halloween is a favorite holiday among children. But Halloween is also big business. The National Retail Federation has reported 32 about Halloween spending for the last 11 years. It says, this year, it expects Halloween sales to total about $7.4 billion. The National Retail Federation says the 33 person will spend more than $77 on Halloween goods. And, the NRF says more Americans plan to take part in Halloween activities than last year. The group expects 162 million people to celebrate 34 158 million people in 2013. It says 54 million of those people plan to hold Halloween parties.

Not all children, or adults, dress to scare on Halloween. Other popular 35 include super heroes and Disney characters. The NRF says this year characters from two children’s movies will be especially popular. Can you guess the movies? Of course, “Frozen” and “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”.

Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes) Section A

Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once. Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage.

Tea is still a necessary part in the Scottish life. Each hotel stocks its rooms with supplies for brew-ups (泡茶): electric kettle for 36 water, ceramic pot for brewing, china cups and small tea-creamers, a great number of teas, honey, fresh milk, and lemons. This is a delight and 37 , for not only is there no such thing in American hotels, but room service even in 38 ones, when asked for tea with milk, can 39 a plastic kettle of hot water covered by a square of Saran Wrap, and a glass of milk.

It is nearing four o’clock in the afternoon. We come upon a small caravan camper with its door open to a late-middle-aged Scottish couple, sitting at a folding table, taking tea and biscuits. Passing by, one only has a 40 : his thick, white socks and heavy black shoes; her plump pear form and print dress; the electric kettle on the table. The archaeologists (考古学家) are 41 as to why the people of ancient Skara Brae would locate their huts so close to the sea, and have guessed that in fact the settlement was 42 located in a protected hollow, that time has eroded the shoreline inland toward the huts. That would make sense. Indeed, when presented at Skara Brae with the lure of a (an) 43 sea and the howling wind, we ourselves tucked into the hollow of a dune for lunch, eating cheese and apples in the sun with wind 44 our heads, blowing the sand into rippling ridges, flattening the beach grasses. Probably the archaeologists are right, but this utterly typical sense of Scottish 45 merrily planted at the edge of harsh cliffs, afternoon tea conducted in the wind and cold, suggests another possibility.

Section B

Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.

Beauty and Body Image in the Media

[A] I mages of female bodies are everywhere. Women—and their body parts—sell everything from food to

cars. Popular film and television actresses are becoming younger, taller and thinner. Some have even been known to faint on the set from lack of food. Women’s magazines are full of articles urging that if they can just lose those last twenty pounds, they’ll have it all—the perfect marriage, loving children, great sex, and a rewarding career.

[B] W hy are standards of beauty being imposed on women, the majority of whom are naturally larger and

more mature than any of the models? The roots, some analysts say, are economic. By presenting an ideal difficult to achieve and maintain, the cosmetic and diet product industries are assured of growth and profits. And it’s no accident that youth is increasingly promoted, along with thinness, as an essential criterion of beauty. If not all women need to lose weight, for sure they’re all aging, says the Quebec Action Network for Women’s Health in its 2001 report. And, according to the industry, age is a disaster that needs to be dealt with.

[C] T he stakes are huge. On the one hand, women who are insecure about their bodies are more likely to buy

beauty products, new clothes, and diet aids. It is estimated that the diet industry alone is worth anywhere between 40 to 100 billion (U.S.) a year selling temporary weight loss (90% to 95% of dieters regain the lost weight). On the other hand, research indicates that exposure to images of thin, young, air-brushed female bodies is linked to depression, loss of self-esteem and the development of unhealthy eating habits in women and girls.

[D] T he American research group Anorexia Nervosa & Related Eating Disorders, Inc. says that one out of

every four college-aged women uses unhealthy methods of weight control—including fasting, skipping meals, excessive exercise, laxative (泻药) abuse, and self-induced vomiting. The pressure to be thin is also affecting young girls: the Canadian Women’s Health Network warns that weight control measures are now being taken by girls as young as 5 and 6. American statistics are similar. Several studies, such as one conducted by Marika Tiggemann and Levina Clark in 2006 titled “Appearance Culture in 9-to 12-Year-Old Girls: Media and Peer Influences on Body Dissatisfaction”, indicate that nearly half of all preadolescent girls wish to be thinner, and as a result have engaged in a diet or are aware of the concept of dieting. In 2003, Teen magazine reported that 35 percent of girls 6 to 12 years old have been on at least one diet, and that 50 to 70 percent of normal weight girls believe they are overweight. Overall research indicates that 90% of women are dissatisfied with their appearance in some way. Media activist Jean Kilbourne concludes that, “Women are sold to the diet industry by the magazines we read and the television programs we watch, almost all of which make us feel anxious about our weight.”

[E] P erhaps the most disturbing is the fact that media images of female beauty are unattainable for all but a

very small number of women. Researchers generating a computer model of a woman with Barbie-doll proportions, for example, found that her back would be too weak to support the weight of her upper body, and her body would be too narrow to contain more than half a liver and a few centimeters of bowel.

A real woman built that way would suffer from chronic diarrhea (慢性腹泻) and eventually die from

malnutrition. Jill Barad, President of Mattel (which manufactures Barbie), estimated that 99% of girls aged 3 to 10 years old own at least one Barbie doll. Still, the number of real life women and girls who seek

a similarly underweight body is epidemic, and they can suffer equally devastating health consequences. In

2006 it was estimated that up to 450, 000 Canadian women were affected by an eating disorder.

[F] R esearchers report that women’s magazines have ten and one-half times more ads and articles promoting

weight loss than men’s magazines do, and over three-quarters of the covers of women’s magazines include at least one message about how to change a woman’s bodily appearance—by diet, exercise or cosmetic surgery. Television and movies reinforce the importance of a thin body as a measure of a woman’s worth. Canadian researcher Gregory Fouts reports that over three-quarters of the female characters in TV situation comedies are underweight, and only one in twenty are above average in size. Heavier actresses tend to receive negative comments from male characters about their bodies (“How about wearing a sack?”), and 80 percent of these negative comments are followed by canned audience laughter.

[G] T here have been efforts in the magazine industry to buck (抵制，反抗) the trend. For several years the

Quebec magazine Coup de Pouce has consistently included full-sized women in their fashion pages and Chatelaine has pledged not to touch up photos and not to include models less than 25 years of age.

In Madrid, one of the world’s biggest fashion capitals, ultra-thin models were banned from the runway in 2006. Furthermore Spain has recently undergone a project with the aim to standardize clothing sizes through using a unique process in which a laser beam is used to measure real life women’s bodies in order to find the most true to life measurement.

[H] A nother issue is the representation of ethnically diverse women in the media. A 2008 study conducted by

Juanita Covert and Travis Dixon titled “A Changing View: Representation and Effects of the Portrayal of Women of Color in Mainstream Women’s Magazines” found that although there was an increase in the representation of women of colour, overall white women were overrepresented in mainstream women’s magazines from 1999 to 2004.

[I] T he barrage (密集的炮火攻击) of messages about thinness, dieting and beauty tells “ordinary” women

that they are always in need of adjustment—and that the female body is an object to be perfected. Jean Kilbourne argues that the overwhelming presence of media images of painfully thin women means that real women’s bodies have become invisible in the mass media. The real tragedy, Kilbourne concludes, is that many women internalize these stereotypes, and judge themselves by the beauty industry’s standards.

Women learn to compare themselves to other women, and to compete with them for male attention. This focus on beauty and desirability “effectively destroys any awareness and action that might help to change that climate.”

46. A study showed that from the end of last century to 2004, by and large white women were

overrepresented in mainstream women’s magazines.

47. S ome analysts reckon that it is mainly because of economic reasons that standards of beauty are imposed

on women.

48. A magazine reported that more than one third girls 6 to 12 years old have been on diet, and that more

than half normal weight girls think they are too fat.

49. A media activist concludes that many women accept these formulaic images completely and are

overcritical about their figures.

50. A Canadian researcher reported that more than seventy-five percent female characters in TV situation

comedies are too thin.

51. R esearch shows that the images of lean and beautiful female bodies have something to do with

depression, loss of self-respect and the development of unhealthy dietary habits in women and girls. 52. F or years a magazine has consistently included life-sized women in their fashion pages to resist the trend

that a thin body is a measure of a woman’s worth.

53. I t’s fashionable that women and girls seek a similarly underweight body like Barbie, and unavoidably it’s

very bad for their health.

54. A research group says that under the pressure to be thin one quarter college-aged women employ

unhealthy methods to control weight.

55. O rdinary-looking women are informed by the messages about thinness, dieting and beauty that the

female body is an object which always needs perfecting.

Section C

Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.

Passage One

Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.

Research on friendship has established a number of facts, some interesting, even useful. Did you know that the average student has 5 to 6 friends, or that a friend who was previously an enemy is liked more than one who has always been on the right side? Would you believe that physically attractive individuals are preferred as friends to those less comely, and is it fair that physically attractive defendants are less likely to be found guilty in court? Unfortunately, such titbits (趣闻，轶闻) don’t tell us much more about the nature or the purpose of friendship.

In fact, studies of friendship seem to implicate more complex factors. For example, one function friendship seems to fulfill is that supports the image we have of ourselves, and confirms the value of the attitudes we hold. Certainly we appear to project ourselves onto our friends; several studies have shown that we judge them to be more like us than they objectively are. This suggests that we ought to choose friends who are similar to us rather than those who would be complementary. In our experiment, some developing friendships were monitored amongst first year students living in the same hostel. It was found that similarity of attitudes (towards politics, religion and ethics, pastimes and aesthetics) was a good predictor of what friendships would be established by the end of four months, though it has less to do with initial alliances—not surprisingly, since attitudes may not be obvious on first inspection.

There have also been studies of pairings, both voluntary (married couples) and forced (student roommates), to see which remained together and which split up. Again, the evidence seems to favor similarity rather than complementarity as an omen of successful relationship, though there is a complication: where marriage is concerned, once the field is narrowed down to potential mates who come from similar backgrounds and share a broad range of attitudes and values, a degree of complementarity seems to become desirable. When a couple are not just similar but almost identical, something else seems to be needed. Similarity can breed contempt; it has also been found that when we find others obnoxious, we dislike them more if they are like us than when they are dissimilar.

The difficulty of linking friendship with similarity of personality probably reflects the complexity of our personalities: we have many facets and therefore require a disparate group of friends to support us. This of course can explain why we may have two close friends who have little in common and indeed dislike each other. By and large, though, it looks as though we would do well to choose friends (and spouses) who resemble us. If this were not so, computer dating agencies would have gone out of business years ago.

C) Great minds think alike. D) A friend in need is a friend indeed.

Passage Two

Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.

How easy it is to glance at so much contemporary art. Sometimes it seems partly a result of the postmodern repudiation of subjectivity and passion, which have always relied on images of depth for expression.

One of postmodernism’s more doubtful contributions is to have substituted surface for depth, as if the self, with its dreams, passions, ideas, and longings can be so easily abolished. Given that Jake Berthot’s recent work has located and explored depth through images drawn from the natural world, and has found a guide in Emerson, we might let the American philosopher’s words orient us in the story of depth in nature and consciousness: “How shallow seemed to me yesterday in the woods the speech one often hears from tired citizens who have spent their brief enthusiasm for the country, that Nature is tedious, and they have had enough of green leaves. Nature and the green leaves are a million fathoms deep, and it is their eyes that are superficial.” This depth of nature is a reservoir of life energy in the words of the Victorian Jesuit poet Gerard Manley Hopkins: “There lives the dearest freshness deep down things.”

The vitalizing depth of nature speaks to the depth of human consciousness, which is not to say that all is

sunlit. If nature can be dark at night, human depths have their own mirroring and corresponding darkness and danger. The same poet, Hopkins, put it this way: “O the mind, mind has mountains; cliffs of fall/Frightful, sheer, no-man-fathomed. Hold them cheap/May who never hung there.” But whether the imagery is of darkness or light, jeopardy（危险） or joy, the conversation between self and nature is reciprocal.

Instead of the viewer’s gaze skimming off the surface like a skipped stone as in so much contemporary painting, Jake Berthot’s paintings hold you — stop you and engage you, stir you and disturb you. When you stand in front of one of Berthot’s recent paintings, you immediately become aware of depths in the painting and you are drawn out into them, feel some part of yourself emptying into them. But then the mysterious mutuality of reverie takes hold into your newly created emptiness; something flows from the painting. And gradually, steadily, the experience of gazing at the canvas becomes a reciprocal emptying-out and filling, an ebb and flow. Depth speaks to depth. And when at last, after successive, calm, reciprocal emptyings and fillings, you break the spell of the encounter; you emerge changed in some quiet but definite way.

to look into all available treatments that might cure or extend his life. I think that when you find yourself in such situations, you tend to look up every possible avenue for hope of preserving your life. As the months progressed and his health grew worse, I noticed an unexpected change in attitude that came over him. He had also been a jovial person with an upbeat personality, but rather than give in to discouragement and self-pity, (17) he took comfort his faith in God and humanity. His conversations focused on others rather than himself, and he spoke of the afterlife as something he was prepared for, believing that his deceased ancestors, including his mother and father, were there waiting for him. During the last few months, weeks, and days of his life, he was kindly cared for by family, friends, his loving wife, who looked after both his physical and emotional needs, (18) and workers from a local hospice came to the home to help regulate his medication and provide any other needed support. He didn’t complain about his fate, and he willingly allowed others to serve him, realizing they were the benefactors of something more. Indeed, one might ponder why God allows death and suffering in our world, but for me, such experiences taught me to value family more and kindness for others. You often can’t learn these important attributes in the lap of luxury, and perhaps, such an experience is the greatest and final gift the terminally ill can give those left behind. Passage Two

situation. Basically, it is the body’s way of showing anxiety or worry.

Stress is not just caused by our mental or emotional condition. (20) It is also influenced by how tired we are, whether we have a balanced diet with enough vitamins and minerals, whether we get enough physical exercise, and whether we can relax. If we feel stressed, there are several things that we can do. First, we need to learn how to relax and breathe slowly and smoothly.

We can also take some time out of our worried, busy schedule to notice the small things in life. Smell the air, look at the flowers, notice the small designs in the leaves on a tree — these activities can do much to quiet us and to give ourselves a small break in a busy schedule.

We need to take care of our bodies. Being tired makes it easier for us to get sick and to develop physical problems related to stress. We need to get enough rest, eat well, and do some regular exercises.

(21) Finally, we need to find what is causing the stress in our lives. Once we have found it, we need to begin to change that part of our lives. If we believe that we can control stress, we can begin to control our lives.

believe he was serious. Many years later, during World War I, people realized what an innovative idea he’d had. In the spring and summer, the sun rises earlier. By moving the clock ahead, people can take advantage of the extra daylight and save energy. Energy is an important resource, of course, especially during wartime. The United States operated on daylight saving time during World War I and again during World War II. After that, some parts of the country observed daylight saving time and some didn’t. Beginning and ending dates varied from place to place. (25) This confusion ended in 1966, when the Congress passed the Uniform Time Act, standardizing the process and making daylight saving time a federal law. Since then, some lawmakers have proposed that the United States go to year-round daylight saving time.

October 31st is Halloween. On that night, children around the United States will wear special clothing and make up their faces to look like frightening (26) creatures. These little vampires, ghosts and witches will walk around their neighborhoods, (27) knocking on doors and yelling “trick or treat.” If the people in the homes do not give them a sweet treat, candy, the children may play a trick on them.

fresh milk, and lemons. This is a delight and (37) astonish-

but room service even in (38) respectable ones, when asked

for tea with milk, can (39) deliver a plastic kettle of hot water

covered by a square of Saran Wrap, and a glass of milk.

It is nearing four o’clock in the afternoon. We come upon a

small caravan camper with its door open to a late-middle-aged

Scottish couple, sitting at a folding table, taking tea and biscuits.

Passing by, one only has a (40) glimpse: his thick, white socks

and heavy black shoes; her plump pear form and print dress; the

electric kettle on the table. The archaeologists (考古学家) are

(41) confused as to why the people of ancient Skara Brae would

locate their huts so close to the sea, and have guessed that in

fact the settlement was (42) originally located in a protected

hollow, that time has eroded the shoreline inland toward the

wind, we ourselves tucked into the hollow of a dune for lunch,

eating cheese and apples in the sun with wind (44) skimming

our heads, blowing the sand into rippling ridges, flattening the

beach grasses. Probably the archaeologists are right, but this ut-

at the edge of harsh cliffs, afternoon tea conducted in the wind

and cold, suggests another possibility.
