Part

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.

the
corresponding
letter
for

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 following passage.


Just because they can

t sing opera or ride a bicycle doesn

t mean
that
animals
don

t
have
culture.
There

s
no
better
example
of
this
than
killer whales. As one of the most __26__ predators(
食肉动物
)

killer
whales
may
not
fit
the
__27__
of
a
cultured
creature.
However,
these
beasts
of
the
sea
do
display
a
vast
range
of
highly
__28__
behaviors
that
appear
to be driving their genetic development.

The word

culture

comes from the Latin

colere,

which __29__
means

to cultivate.

In other words, it refers to anything that is
__30__
or
learnt,
rather
than
instinctive
or
natural.
Among
human
populations, culture not only affects the way we live, but also writes
itself into our genes, affecting who we are. For instance, having spent
many
generations
hunting
the
fat
marine
mammals
of
the
Arctic,
the
Eskimos
of
Greenland
have
developed
certain
genetic
__31__
that
help
them
digest
and
utilize
this
fat- rich
diet,
thereby
allowing
them
to
__32__
in
their
cold climate.

Like
humans,
killer
whales
have
colonized
a
range
of
different
__33__
across
the
globe,
occupying
every
ocean
basin
on
the
planet,
with
an
empire
that __34__ from pole to pole. As such, different populations of killer
whales have had to learn different hunting techniques in order to gain
the upper hand over their local prey(
猎物
). This, in turn, has a major
effect on their diet, leading scientists to __35__ that the ability to
learn
population-specific
hunting
methods
could
be
driving
the
animals


genetic development.


A) acquired E) expressed I) image M) speculate

B) adaptations F) extends J) literally N) structure

C) brutal G) habitats K) refined O) thrive

D) deliberately H) humble L) revolves



Section B

Directions:
In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten
statements attached to 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.


Living with parents edges out other living arrangements for
18- to 34- year-olds


[A]
Broad demographic (
人口的
)shifts is marital status, educational
attainment
and
employment
have
transformed
the
way
young
adults
in
the
.
are
living,
and
a
new
Pew
Research
Center
analysis
highlights
the
implications
of
these
changes
for
the
most
basic
element
of
their
lives

where
they call home.
In
2014,for the
first time in
more than 130
years,
adults
ages
18
to
34
were
slightly
more
likely
to
be
living
in
their
parents

home than they were to be living with a spouse or partner in
their own household.


[B]
This turn of events is fueled primarily by the dramatic drop in the
share of young Americans who are choosing to settle down romantically
before age 35. Dating back to 1880, the most common living arrangement
among young adults has been living with a romantic partner, whether a
spouse
or
a
significant
other.
This
type
of
arrangement
peaked
around
1960,
when 62% of the nation

s 18-to 34-year-olds were living with a spouse
or
partner
in
their
own
household,
and
only
one- in-five
were
living
with
their parents.


[C]
By 2014, % of young adults were living with a spouse or partner in
their
own
household,
below
the
share
living
in
the
home
of
their
parent(s) %). Some 14%
of young adults
lived alone, were
a single parent
or lived with one or more roommates. The remaining 22% lived in the home
of another family member (such as a grandparent, in-law or sibling (

弟姐妹
)),
a
non- relative,
or
in
group
quarters
like
college
dormitories.


[D]

It

s
worth
noting
that
the
overall
share
of
young
adults
living
with
their parents was not at a record high in 2014. This arrangement peaked
around
1940,
when
about
35%
of
the
nation

s
18-to
34-year-olds
lived
with
mom and/or dad (compared with 32% in 2014). What has changed, instead,
is
the
relative
share
adopting
different
ways
of
living
in
early
adulthood,
with the decline of romantic coupling pushing living at home to the top
of a much less uniform list of living arrangements.


[E]
Among
young
adults,
living
arrangements
differ
significantly
by
gender.
For
men
ages
18
to
34,
living
at
home
with
mom
and/or
dad
has
been
the
dominant
living
arrangement
since
2009,
In
2014,28%
of
young
men
were
living with a spouse of partner in their own home, while 35% were living
in
the
home
of
their
parent(s).
Young
women,
however,
are
still
more
likely
to be living with a spouse of romantic partner(35%) than they are to be
living with their parent(s)(29%).


[F]
In 2014, more young women (16%) than young men (13%) were heading up
a
household
without
a
spouse
or
partner.
This
is
mainly
because
women
are
more
likely
than
men
to
be
single
parents
living
with
their
children.
For
their part, young men (25%) are more likely than young women (19%) to be
living in the home of another family member, a non-relative or in some
type of group quarters.


[G]

A
variety
of
factors
contribute
to
the
long-run
increase
in
the
share
of young. Adults living with the parents. The first in the postponement
of, if not retreat
from, marriage.
The
average age of
first marriage has
risen steadily for decades. In addition, a growing share of young adult
may be avoiding marriage altogether. A previous Pew Research Center
analysis projected that as many as one- in-four of today

s young adult
may
never
marry.
While
cohabitation(
同居
)has
been
on
the
rise,
the
overall
share
of
young
adults
either
married
or
living
with
an
unmarried
partner
has substantially fallen since 1990.


[H]
In addition, trends in both employment status and wages have likely
contributed to the growing share of young adults who are living in the
home
of
their
parent(s),
and
this
is
especially
true
of
young
men.
Employed
young men are much less likely to live at home than young men without a
job, and employment among young men has fallen significantly in recent
decades. The share of young men with jobs peaked around 1960 at 84%. In
2014, only 71% of 18-to-34-year-old men were employed. Similarly with
earnings, young men

s wages (after adjusting for inflation) have been
on a downward trajectory (
轨迹
) since 1970 and fell significantly from
2000 to 2010. As wages have fallen, the share of young men living in the
home of their parent(s) has risen.


[I]
Economic factors seem to explain less of why young adult women are
increasingly likely to live at home. Generally, young women have had
growing success in the paid labor market since 1960 and hence might
increasingly
be
expected
to
be
a
be
to
afford
to
afford
to
live
independently of their parents. For women, delayed marriage

which is
related, in part, to labor market outcomes for men

may explain more of
the increase in their living in the family home.


[J]
The Great Recession (and modest recovery) has also been associated
with an increase in young adults living at home. Initially in the wake
of the recession, college enrollments expanded, boosting the ranks of
young
adults
living
at
home.
And
given
the
weak
job
opportunities
facing
young
adults,
living
at
home
was
part
of
the
private
safety
net
help
young
adults to weather the economic storm.


[K]

Beyond
gender,
young
adult

s
living
arrangements
differ
considerable
by
education

which
is
tied
to
financial
means.
For
young
adults
without
a bachelor

s degree, as of 2008 living at home with their parents was
more
prevalent
than
living
with
a
romantic
partner.
By
2014,
36%
of
18-to
34-year-olds
who
had
not
completed
a
bachelor

s
degree
were
living
with
their parent(s) while 27% were living with a spouse or partner. Among
college
graduates,
in
2014
46%
were
married
or
living
with
a
partner,
and
only 19% were living with their parent(s). Young adults with a college
degree
have
fared
much
better
in
the
labor
market
than
their
less- educated
counterparts, which has in turn made it easier to establish their own
households.
