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

Neon (
霓虹
) is to Hong Kong as red phone booths are to London and fog is to San
Francisco.
When
night
falls,
red
and
blue
and
other
colors
26
a
hazy
(
雾蒙蒙的
)
glow
over a city lit up by tens of thousands of neon signs. But many of them are going
dark,
27
by
more
practical,
but
less
romantic,
LEDs
(
发光二极管
).Changing
building
codes,
evolving
tastes,
and
the
high
cost
of
maintaining
those
wonderful
old
signs
have businesses embracing LEDs, which are energy 28 , but still carry great cost.
“To me, neon represents memories of the past,” says photographer Sharon Blance,
whose series Hong Kong Neon celebrates the city’s famous signs. “Looking at the
signs now I get a feeling of amazement,mixed with sadness.”Building a neon sign
is an art practiced by
29
trained on the job to mold glass tubes into 30 shapes
and
letters.
They
fill
these
tubes
with
gases
that
glow
when
31
.
Neon
makes
orange,
while other gases make yellow or blue. It takes many hours to craft a single
spent a week in Hong Kong and
32more
than
60
signs;
22
of
them
appear in the series that capture the signs lighting up lonely streets
–
an

33
that makes it easy to admire their
colors and craftsmanship. “I love the
beautiful, handcrafted, old-fashioned
34
of neon,” says
Blance. The signs do
nothing more than
35a restaurant, theater, or other business, but do so in the
most striking way possible.










A) alternative
B) approach
C) cast
D) challenging
E) decorative
F) efficient

New Jersey School District Eases Pressure on Students
–
Baring an Ethnic Divide

A)
This fall, David Aderhold, the chief of a high-achieving school district near
Princeton,
New
Jersey,
sent
parents
an
alarming
16-page
letter.
The
school
district,
he
said,
was
facing
a
crisis.
Its
students
were
overburdened
and
stressed
out,
having
to cope with too much work and too many demands. In the previous school year, 120
middle
and
high
school
students
were
recommended
for
mental
health
assessments
and
40
were
hospitalized.
And
on
a
survey
administered
by
the
district,
students
wrote
things
like,
“I
hate
going
to
school,”
and
“Coming
out
of
12
years
in
this
district,
I
have
learned
one
thing:
that
a
grade,
a
percentage
or
even
a
point
is
to
be
valued
over anything else.”


B)
With his letter, Aderhold inserted West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional School
District
into
a
national
discussion
about
the
intense
focus
on
achievement
at
elite
schools, and whether it has gone too far. At follow-up meetings, he urged parents
to join him in advocating a “whole child” approach to schooling that respects
“social
-
emotional
development”
and
“deep
and
meaningful
learning”
over
academics
alone.
The
alternative,
he
suggested,
was
to
face
the
prospect
of
becoming
another
Palo
Alto,
California,
where
outsize
stress
on
teenage
students
is
believed
to have contributed to a number of suicides in the last six years.

C)
But
instead
of
bringing
families
together,
Aderhold’s
letter
revealed
a
divide
in the district, which has 9,700 students, and one that broke down roughly along
racial
lines.
On
one
side
are
white
parents
like
Catherine
Foley,
a
former
president
of
the
Parent-Teacher-
Student
Association
at
her
daughter’s
middle
school,
who
has
come
to
see
the
district’s
increasingly
pressured
atmosphere
as
opposed
to
learning
.
“My son was in fourth grade and told me, ‘I’m not going to amount to anything
because
I
have
nothing
to
put
on
my
résumé,’”
she
said.
On
the
other
side
are
parents
like
Mike
Jia,
one
of
the
thousands
of
Asian-American
professionals
who
have
moved
to the
district in the past decade, who said Aderhold’s reforms would amount to
a
“dumbing
down”
of
his
children’s
education.
“What
is
happening
here
reflects
a national anti-intellectual trend that will not prepare our children for the
future,” Jia said.



D)
About
10
minutes
from
Princeton
and
an
hour
and
a
half
from
New
York
City,
West
Windsor and Plainsboro have become popular bedroom communities for technology
entrepreneurs,
researchers
and
engineers,
drawn
in
large
part
by
the
public
schools.
From
the
last
three
graduating
classes,
16
seniors
were
admitted
to
MIT.
It
produces
Science Olympiad winners, classically trained musicians and students with perfect
SAT scores.

E)
The
district
has
become
increasingly
popular
with
immigrant
families
from
China,
India
and
Korea.
This
year,
65
percent
of
its
students
are
Asian-American,
compared
with 44 percent in 2007. Many of them are the first in their families born in the
United States. They have had a growing influence on the district. Asian-American
parents
are
enthusiastic
supporters
of
the
competitive
instrumental
music
program.
They have been huge supporters of the district’s advanced mathematics program,
which once began in the fourth grade but will now start in the sixth. The change
to
the
program,
in
which
90
percent
of
the
participating
students
are
Asian-American,
is one of Aderhold’s reforms.


F)
Asian- American students have been eager participants in a state program that
permits
them
to
take
summer
classes
off
campus
for
high
school
credit,
allowing
them
to maximize the number of honors and Advanced Placement classes they can take,
another
practice
that
Aderhold
is
limiting
this
school
year.
With
many
Asian- American children attending supplementary instructional programs, there is
a
perception
among
some
white
families
that
the
elementary
school
curriculum
is
being
sped up to accommodate them.

G)
Both Asian-American and white families say the tension between the two groups
has
grown
steadily
over
the
past
few
years,
as
the
number
of
Asian
families
has
risen.
But
the
division
has
become
more
obvious
in
recent
months
as
Aderhold
has
made
changes,
including no-homework nights, an end to high school midterms and finals, and an
initiative that made it easier to participate in the music program.

H)
Jennifer Lee, professor of sociology at the University of California, Irvine,
and an author of The Asian American Achievement Paradox, says misunderstandings
between first-generation Asian-American parents and those who have been in this
country
longer
are
common.
What
white
middle-class
parents
do
not
always
understand,
she said, is
how much pressure
recent immigrants feel to boost their children
into
the
middle
class.
“
They
don
’
t
have
the
same
chances
to
get
their
children
internships
(
实习职位
) or jobs at
law firms,” Lee said. “So what they believe is that their
children must excel and beat their white peers in academic settings so they have
the same chances to excel later.”


I)
The
issue
of
the
stresses
felt
by
students
in
elite
school
districts
has
gained
attention
in
recent
years
as
schools
in
places
like
Newton,
Massachusetts,
and
Palo
Alto have reported a number of suicides. West Windsor-Plainsboro has not had a
teenage suicide in recent years, but Aderhold, who has worked in the district for
seven
years
and
been
chief
for
the
last
three
years,
said
he
had
seen
troubling signs.
In a recent art assignment, a middle school student depicted (
描绘
)
an overburdened child who was being scolded for earning an A, rather than an A+,
on
a
math
exam.
In
the
image,
the
m
other
scolds
the
student
with
the
words,
“Shame
on
you!”
Further,
he
said,
the
New
Jersey
Education
Department
has
flagged
at
least
two pieces of writing on state English language assessments in which students
expressed suicidal thoughts.

J)
The survey commissioned by the district found that 68 percent of high school
honor
and
Advanced
Placement
students
reported
feeling
stressed
about
school
“always or most of the time.” “We need to bring back some balance,” Aderhold
said. “You don’t want to wait until it’s too late to do something.”


K)
Not
all
public
opinion
has
fallen
along
racial
lines.
Karen
Sue,
the
Chinese-American
mother
of
a
fifth-grader
and
an
eighth- grader,
believes
the
competition
within
the
district
has
gotten
out
of
control.
Sue,
who
was
born
in
the
United
States
to
immigrant
parents,
wants
her
peers
to
dial
it
back.
“It’s
become
an
arms
race,
an
educational
arms
race,”
she
said.
“We
all
want
our
kids
to
achieve
and be successful. The question is, at what cost?”


36. Aderhold is limiting the extra classes that students are allowed to take off
campus.

37. White and Asian-
American parents responded differently
to
Aderhold’s appeal.


38. Suicidal thoughts have appeared in some students' writings.

39.
Aderhold’s
reform
of
the
advanced
mathematics

program
will
affect
Asian-American students most.

40.
Aderhold appealed for parents’ support in promoting an all
-round development
of children, instead of focusing only on their academic performance.

41. One
Chinese-American
parent
thinks
the
competition
in
the
district
has
gone
too
far.

42. Immigrant parents believe that academic excellence will allow their children
equal chances to succeed in the future.

43. Many businessmen and professionals have moved to West Windsor and Plainsboro
because of the public schools there.

44.
A
number
of
students
in
Aderhold’s
school
district
were
found
to
have
stress-induced mental health problems.

45. The tension between Asian-American and white families has increased in recent
years.

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.

For
thousands
of
years,
people
have
known
that
the
best
way
to
understand
a
concept
is
to
explain
it
to
someone
else.
“While
we
teach,
we
learn,”
sa
id
Roman
philosopher
Seneca.
Now
scientists
are
bringing
this
ancient
wisdom
up-to-
date.
They’re
documenting
why
teaching
is
such
a
fruitful
way
to
learn,
and
designing
innovative
ways for young people to engage in instruction.

Researchers have found that students who sign up to tutor others work harder to
understand the material, recall it more accurately and apply it more effectively.
Student
teachers
score
higher
on
tests
than
pupils
who’re
learning
only
for
their
own
sake.
But
how
can
children,
still
learning
themselves,
teach
others?
One
answer:
They can tutor younger kids. Some studies have found that first- born children are
more intelligent than their later-born siblings (
兄弟姐妹
). This suggests their
