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
16 18
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 26 to 35 are based on
the passage you have just heard.
Physical
activity does the body good, and there’s growing
evidence that it helps
the brain too.
Researchers in the Netherlands report that
children who get more
exercise, whether at
school or on their own, 26 to have higher GPAs
and better
scores on standardized tests. In a
27 of 14 studies that looked at physical
activity and academic 28 , investigators found
that the more children moved,
the better their
grades were in school, 29 in the basic subjects
of math,
English and reading.
The data
will certainly fuel the ongoing debate over
whether physical education
classes should be
cut as schools struggle to 30 on smaller
budgets. The
arguments against physical
education have included concerns that gym time may
be
taking away from study time. With
standardized test scores in the U.S. 31 in
recent years, some administrators believe
students need to spend more time in the
classroom instead of on the playground. But as
these findings show, exercise and
academics
may not be 32 exclusive. Physical activity can
improve blood 33
to the brain, fueling
memory, attention and creativity, which are 34
to
learning. And exercise releases hormones
that can improve 35 and relieve
stress,
which can also help learning. So while it may seem
as if kids are just
exercising their bodies
when they’re running around, they may actually be
exercising
their brains as well.

Finding the
Right Home—and Contentment, Too
[A] When
your elderly relative needs to enter some sort of
long-term care
facility—a moment few parents
or children approach without fear—what you would
like is to have everything made clear.
[B] Does assisted living really mark a great
improvement over a nursing home,
or has the
industry simply hired better interior designers?
Are nursing homes as bad
as people fear, or is
that an out-moded stereotype (固定看法)? Can doing
one’s
homework really steer families to the
best places? It is genuinely hard to know.
[C] I am about to make things more complicated by
suggesting that what kind of
facility an older
person lives in may matter less than we have
assumed. And that the
characteristics adult
children look for when they begin the search are
not necessarily
the things that make a
difference to the people who are going to move in.
I am not
talking about the quality of care,
let me hastily add. Nobody flourishes in a gloomy
environment with irresponsible staff and a
poor safety record. But an accumulating
body
of research indicates that some distinctions
between one type of elder care and
another
have little real bearing on how well residents do.
[D] The most recent of these studies,
published in The journal of Applied
Gerontology, surveyed 150 Connecticut
residents of assisted living, nursing homes
and smaller residential care homes (known in
some states as board and care homes or
adult
care homes). Researchers from the University of
Connecticut Health Center
asked the residents
a large number of questions about their quality of
life, emotional
well-being and social
interaction, as well as about the quality of the
facilities.
[E] “We thought we would see
differences based on the housing types,” said the
lead author of the study, Julie Robison, an
associate professor of medicine at the
university. A reasonable assumption—don’t
families struggle to avoid nursing homes
and
suffer real guilt if they can’t?
[F] In the
initial results, assisted living residents did
paint the most positive
picture. They were
less likely to report symptoms of depression than
those in the other
facilities, for instance,
and less likely to be bored or lonely. They scored
higher on
social interaction.
[G] But
when the researchers plugged in a number of other
variables, such
differences disappeared. It is
not the housing type, they found, that creates
differences in residents’ responses. “It is
the characteristics of the specific
16 18
environment they are in,
combined with their own personal
characteristics—how
healthy they feel they
are, their age and marital status,” Dr. Robison
explained.
Whether residents felt involved in
the decision to move and how long they had lived
there also proved significant.
[H] An
elderly person who describes herself as in poor
health, therefore, might
be no less depressed
in assisted living (even if her children preferred
it) than in a
nursing home. A person who bad
input into where he would move and has had time to
adapt to it might do as well in a nursing home
as in a small residential care home,
other
factors being equal. It is an interaction between
the person and the place, not
the sort of
place in itself, that leads to better or worse
experiences. “You can’t just
say, ‘Let’s put
this person in a residential care home instead of
a nursing home—she
will be much better off,”
Dr. Robison said. What matters, she added, “is a
combination of what people bring in with them,
and what they find there.”
[I] Such
findings, which run counter to common sense, have
surfaced before.
In a multi-state study of
assisted living, for instance, University of North
Carolina
researchers found that a host of
variables—the facility’s type, size or age;
whether
a chain owned it; how attractive the
neighborhood was—had no significant
relationship to how the residents fared in
terms of illness, mental decline,
hospitalizations or mortality. What mattered
most was the residents’ physical health
and
mental status. What people were like when they
came in had greater consequence
than what
happened one they were there.
[J] As I was
considering all this, a press release from a
respected research firm
crossed my desk,
announcing that the five-star rating system that
Medicare
developed in 2008 to help families
compare nursing home quality also has little
relationship to how satisfied its residents or
their family members are. As a matter of
fact,
consumers expressed higher satisfaction with the
one-star facilities, the lowest
rated, than
with the five-star ones. (More on this study and
the star ratings will
appear in a subsequent
post.)
[K] Before we collectively tear our
hair out—how are we supposed to find our
way
in a landscape this confusing?—here is a thought
from Dr. Philip Sloane, a
geriatrician(老年病学专家)at the University of North
Carolina:“In a way, that
could be liberating
for families.”
16 18
[L] Of course, sons and daughters want to visit
the facilities, talk to the
administrators and
residents and other families, and do everything
possible to fulfill
their duties. But perhaps
they don’t have to turn themselves into private
investigators
or Congressional subcommittees.
“Families can look a bit more for where the
residents are going to be happy,” Dr. Sloane
said. And involving the future resident
in the
process can be very important.
[M] We all
have our own ideas about what would bring our
parents happiness.
They have their ideas, too.
A friend recently took her mother to visit an
expensive
assisted livingnursing home near my
town. I have seen this place—it is elegant,
inside and out. But nobody greeted the
daughter and mother when they arrived,
though
the visit had been planned; nobody introduced them
to the other residents.
When they had lunch in
the dining room, they sat alone at a table.
[N] The daughter feared her mother would be
ignored there, and so she decided
to move her
into a more welcoming facility. Based on what is
emerging from some of
this research, that
might have been as rational a way as any to reach
a decision.
36. Many people feel guilty when
they cannot find a place other than a nursing
home for their parents.
it helps for
children to investigate care facilities, involving
their
parents in the decision-making process
may prove very important.

difficult to tell if assisted living is better
than a nursing home.

16 18

similar to an earlier multi-state study
of
assisted living.
45.A resident’s
satisfaction with a care facility has much to do
with whether they
had participated in the
decision to move in and how long they had stayed
there.
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 46 to 50 are based on the
following passage.
As Artificial
Intelligence(AI) becomes increasingly
sophisticated, there are
growing concerns that
robots could become a threat. This danger can be
avoided,
according to computer science
professor Stuart Russell, if we figure out how to
turn
human values into a programmable code.
Russell argues that as robots take on more
complicated tasks, it’s necessary to
translate
our morals into AI language.
For example, if
a robot does chores around the house, you wouldn’t
want it to
put the pet cat in the oven to make
dinner for the hungry children. “You would want
that robot preloaded with a good set of
values,” said Russell.
Some robots are
already programmed with basic human values. For
example,
mobile robots have been programmed to
keep a comfortable distance from humans.
Obviously there are cultural differences, but
if you were talking to another person
and they
came up close in your personal space, you wouldn’t
think that’s the kind of
thing a properly
brought-up person would do.
It will be
possible to create more sophisticated moral
machines, if only we can
find a way to set out
human values as clear rules.
Robots could
also learn values from drawing patterns from large
sets of data on
human behavior. They are
dangerous only if programmers are careless.
16 18
The biggest concern
with robots going against human values is that
human
beings fail to so sufficient testing and
they’ve produced a system that will break some
kind of taboo(禁忌).
One simple check
would be to program a robot to check the correct
course of
action with a human when presented
with an unusual situation.
If the robot is
unsure whether an animal is suitable for the
microwave, it has the
opportunity to stop,
send out beeps(嘟嘟声), and ask for directions from a
human.
If we humans aren’t quite sure about a
decision, we go and ask somebody else.
The
most difficult step in programming values will be
deciding exactly what we
believe in moral, and
how to create a set of ethical rules. But if we
come up with an
answer, robots could be good
for humanity.
does the author say about the
threat of robots?
A)It may constitute a
challenge to computer progranmers.
B)It
accompanies all machinery involving high
technology.
C)It can be avoided if human
values are translated into their language.
D)It has become an inevitable peril as technology
gets more sophisticated.
would we think of
a person who invades our personal space according
to the author?
A)They are aggressive.
B)They are outgoing.
C)They are
ignorant.
D)They are ill-bred.
do
robots learn human values?
A)By interacting
with humans in everyday life situations.
B)By following the daily routines of civilized
human beings.
C)By picking up patterns from
massive data on human behavior.
D)By
imitating the behavior of property brought-up
human beings.
will a well-programmed robot
do when facing an unusual situation?
16 18
A)keep a distance from
possible dangers.
B)Stop to seek advice from
a human being.
C)Trigger its built-in alarm
system at once.
D)Do sufficient testing
before taking action.
is most difficult to
do when we turn human values into a programmable
code?
A)Determine what is moral and
ethical.
B)Design some large-scale
experiments.
C)Set rules for man-machine
interaction.
D)Develop a more sophisticated
program.
Passage Two
Questions 51 to
55 are based on the following passage.
Why
do some people live to be older than others? You
know the standard
explanations: keeping a
moderate diet, engaging in regular exercise, etc.
But what
effect does your personality have on
your longevity(长寿)?Do some kinds of
personalities lead to longer lives? A new
study in the Journal of the American
Geriatrics Society looked at this question by
examining the personality characteristics
of
246 children of people who had lived to be at
least 100.
The study shows that those living
the longest are more outgoing, more active
and
less neurotic (神经质的) than other people. Long-
living women are also more
likely to be
sympathetic and cooperative than women with a
normal life span. These
findings are in
agreement with what you would expect from the
evolutionary theory:
those who like to make
friends and help others can gather enough
resources to make it
through tough times.
Interestingly, however, other characteristics that
you might consider
advantageous had no impact
on whether study participants were likely to live
longer.
Those who were more self-disciplined,
for instance, were no more likely to live to
be very old. Also, being open to new ideas had
no relationship to long life, which
might
explain all those bad-tempered old people who are
fixed in their ways.
16 18
Whether you can successfully change your
personality as an adult is the subject
of a
longstanding psychological debate. But the new
paper suggests that if you want
long life, you
should strive to be as outgoing as possible.
Unfortunately, another recent study shows that
your mother’s personality may
also help
determine your longevity. That study looked at
nearly 28,000 Norwegian
mothers and found that
those moms who were more anxious, depressed and
angry
were more likely to feed their kids
unhealthy diets. Patterns of childhood eating can
be hard to break when we’re adults, which may
mean that kids of depressed moms
end up dying
younger.
Personality isn’t destiny(命运), and
everyone knows that individuals can learn
to
change. But both studies show that long life isn’t
just a matter of your physical
health but of
your mental health.
51. The aim of the study
in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society
is____.
A)to see whether people’s
personality affects their life span
B)to
find out if one’s lifestyle has any effect on
their health
C)to investigate the role of
exercise in living a long life
D)to examine
all the factors contributing to longevity
52. What does the author imply about outgoing and
sympathetic people?
A)They have a good
understanding of evolution.
B)They are
better at negotiating an agreement.
C)They
generally appear more resourceful.
D)They
are more likely to get over hardship.
53.
What finding of the study might prove somewhat out
of our expectation?
A)Easy-going people can
also live a relatively long life.
B)Personality characteristics that prove
advantageous actually vary with times.
C)Such personality characteristics as self-
discipline have no effect on longevity.
D)Readiness to accept new ideas helps one enjoy
longevity.
16 18
54.
What does the recent study of Norwegian mothers
show?
A)Children’s personality
characteristics are invariably determined by their
mothers.
B)People with unhealthy eating
habits are likely to die sooner.
C)Mothers’
influence on children may last longer than
fathers’.
D)Mothers’ negative personality
characteristics may affect their children’s life
spans.
can we learn from the findings
of the two new studies?
A)Anxiety and
depression more often than not cut short one’s
life span.
B)Longevity results from a
combination of mental and physical health.
C)Personality plays a decisive role in how healthy
one is.
D)Health is in large part related to
one’s lifestyle.

important tool,
through which we can share our experience with the
world. I treasure
the chance of learning
English, and I enjoy the happiness from your
course.
The last but not the least, please
forgive those mistakes I have made which may
upset you. What I have learned from you will
help me pass the coming examinations
and also
be useful for my further education in abroad. It
is not only a progress of
learning, but also a
cultivation of my ability.
May everything go
well around you.

Dear parents,
This letter is to tell you my true feelings
from the bottom of my heart. Although
we can
keep in virtual touch every day, I still feel it
not enough to let you know how
much I love you
and how much I’ve appreciated what you’ve done for
me.
In the past 20 years, you have done a lot
for me. Firstly, thank you so much for
bringing me up. I know how hard you've being
working in the past. I can imagine
how many
difficulties and obstacles you've conquered.
Second, I want to thank you
for your good
education on me. There is an old saying goes like
this “parents are the
first teachers to their
children”. Both of you are the typical ones. The
most important
thing that I want to say “thank
you” is for your great admiration on my own
freedom.
You told me to look over the horizons
