PartⅠReading Comprehension (30%)
Directions: There are three passages in this part. 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 blacken the
corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet。
Passage 1
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:
The reflective towers of New York City, which is on the Atlantic migrating(迁徙
的)route , can be deadly for birds. “We live in an age of glass,” said , an
architect。(76)“It can be a perfect mirror in certain lights, and the larger the glass, the
more dangerous it is。” About 90,000 birds are killed by flying into building in the city
each year. Often, they strike the lower levels of glass towers after searching for food in
nearby parks. Such crashes are the second- leading cause of death for migrating birds,
after habitat(栖息地)loss, with an estimated number of death ranging up to a billion a
year。
(77)As glass office and apartment towers have increased in the last decade, so,
too, have calls to make them less deadly to birds. San Francisco adopted bird-safety
standard for new building in July. The United States Green Building Council, a
nonprofit industry group that encourages the creation of environmentally conscious
buildings, will introduce a bird-safety credit this as part of its environmental
certification process。
There are no easy fixes, however. A few researchers are exploring glass designs
that use ultraviolet(紫外线的)signals, but they are still in their infancy. Covers, dot
patterns, shades and net are the main options available。
Often, only one section of a building needs to be changed. “You don’t necessarily
have to treat every window,” said. “It would be too expensive to do the
whole building。” The Jacob Convention Center, which has been undergoing
alterations, is the most recent building to voluntarily correct the problem of bird
crashes. The architects used less reflective glass and dot patterns。
1. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. New York is a city of glass towers。

1
B. Glass tower are dangerous for migrating birds。
C. New York adopted new safety standards for buildings。
D. Glass towers are a new trend in the United States。
2. What is the number one cause of death for migrating birds?
A. Climate change B. Habitat loss
C. Lack of food D. Crashing into buildings。
3. What does the word “fixes” in the third paragraph probably mean?
A. Choices B. Explanations
C. Solutions D. Developments
4. _____are used in the alteration of the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center。
A. Dot patterns B. Shades
C. Nets D. Covers
5. Which of the fowling statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. In many cases, the whole building needs to be altered to prevent bird
crashes。
B. The Jacob Convention Center is the first building to deal with the
problem of bird crashes。
C. About 90,000 birds are killed due to habitat loss in New York City each
year。
D. Unfortunately, glass designs that use ultraviolet signals are still in their
early stages。
Passage 2
Question 6 to 10 are based on the fowling passage:
Today’s students have grown up hearing more about Bill Gates than F.D.R., and
they live in a world where amazing innovations(革新)are common. The current
18-year-olds, after all, were 8 when Google was founded by two students at Stanford;
Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook in 2004 while he was Harvard and they were
entering high school. Having grown up digital(数字的)，they are impatient to get on
with life。
The easiest way to find kids like these is to check in on entrepreneurship(企业家
才能)education, in which colleges and universities try to prepare their students to
recognize opportunities and seize them。
A report published last year by the Kauffman Foundation, which finances
programs to promote innovation on campuses, noted that more than 50,000
entrepreneurship programs are offered on two-and four-year campuses—up from just
250 courses in 1985. Lesa Mitchell , a Kauffman vice president, says that the
foundation is extending the reach of its academic influence, which used to be found
only in business schools. Now, the concept of entrepreneurship is blooming in
engineering programs and medical school, and even in the liberal arts. “Our interest is
the programs,” she says. “We need to spread out from the business school。”
Either as class projects or on their own, students in a variety of majors are
coming up with ideas, writing business plans and seeing them through to prototype
and, often, market. In their spare time, students in agricultural economics at Purdue
invent new uses for bean; industrial design majors at Syracuse, in special laboratory,
create wearable technologies。
(78)The entrepreneurship movement has its critics, especially among those who

2
see college as a time for extensive academic exploration. “I just don’t think that
entrepreneurship ranks so high in terms of national need,” says Daniel erg,
author of Science for sale: The perils, Rewards and Delusions of Campus Capitalism。
Leonard inger, Babson College’s president, says that the question of
whether innovation can really be taught is “an age-old argument”
6. When Google and Facebook were established, the founders were still_____。
A. in high school B. in the army
C. in primary school D. at college
7. According to the passage, what is the main purpose of entrepreneurship
education?
A. To prepare students for future academic life
B. To prepare students to find opportunities and seize them。
C. To prepare students for overseas career。
D. To prepare student to develop interpersonal skills。
8. The word “prototype” in the fourth paragraph is most likely to mean_____。
A. model B. strategy
C. method D. stage
9. What does Daniel erg think of entrepreneurship education?
A. Entrepreneurship, or at least certain elements of it, can be taught。
B. An entrepreneurship program can help students find what they really like
and entrepreneurship isn’t all about business。
C. Entrepreneurship should be spread across different fields。
D. Colleges shouldn’t put too much emphasis on entrepreneurship
programs。
10. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Entrepreneurship courses in business schools。
B. Qualities of an entrepreneur。
C. Entrepreneurship education in colleges。
D. Kids in the information age。
Passage 3
Question 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:
Regret is as common an emotion as love or fear, and it can be nearly as powerful.
So, in a new paper, two researchers set about trying to find out what the typical
American regrets most. In telephone surveys, Neal Rose, a psychologist and
professor of marketing at the School of Management at Northwestern Universtiy, and
Mike Morrison, a doctoral candidate in psychology at University of Illinois, asked 370
Americans, aged 19 to 103,to talk about their most notable regret .Participants were
asked what the regret was, when it happened, whether it was a result of something
they did or didn’t do, and whether it was something that could still be fixed。
The most commonly mentioned regret involved romance (浪漫的事)(18%)----lost
loves or unfulfilled relationships. Family regrets came in second (16%)，whit people
still feeling badly about being unkind to their brothers or sisters in childhood. Other
frequently reported regrets involved career (13%) ,education (12%)，money(10%)
and parenting(9^%)。
Rose and Morrison’s study, which is to be published in social psychological and
personality science, is significant in that it surveyed a wide range of the American

3
public, including people of all ages and socio-economic and educational backgrounds.
Previous studies on regret have focused largely on college students, who predictably
tend to have education-focused regrets, like wishing they had studied harder or a
different major. The new survey shows that in the larger population, a person’s major.
The new survey shows that in the larger population, a person’s “life
circumstances—accomplishments, shortcomings ,situation in life—inject considerable
fuel into the fires of regret,”the authors write。
(79)People with less education, for instance were more likely to report education
regret. People with higher levels of education had the most career regrets. And those
with no romantic partner tended to hold regrets regarding love. Broken down(分解、细
分)by sex, more women(44%) than men (19%) had regrets about love and
family----not surprising, since women “value social relationships more than men,” the
authors write. In contrast ,men (34%) were more likely than women (27%) to mention
work-related regrets, wishing they’d chosen a different career path, for instance ,or
followed their passion。(80)Many participants also reported wishing they had worked
less to spend more time with their children。
There was an even split between regrets about inaction (not doing something)
and action (do something you wish you didn’t) .But, like previous studies, the current
research found that some regrets are more likely than others to persist over time:
people tend to hang on longer to the regret of inaction; meanwhile, regrets of action
tend to be more recent。
the second paragraph, the author shows ______。
A. the researchers’ findings B. the importance of family
C. the importance of money D. the importance of career
12. According to the passage , college student participants mainly had regrets
about their ______。
A. family and childhood B. study and major
C. career and job D. romance and fear
word “notable” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ______。
A. common B. capable C. wonderful D. remarkable
14. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. The less education he or she has, the more regrets she or he would have。
B. The more education he or she has, the less regrets she or he would have。
C. More women than men had regrets about love and family。
D. The regret of action seems to last longer than that of inaction。
15. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. How regret is understood by a typical American。
B .Common regrets is more important than love and hate。
C. Why regret is more important than love and hate。
D. How regret has shaped Americans。
