Section A

( A )

Playing a violin with three strings

On Nov.18, 1995, Itzhak Perlman, the violinist, came on stage to give a concert. The audience sat quietly while he made his way across the stage to his chair and began his play. But this time, something went wrong. Just as he finished the first few bars, one of the strings on his violin broke. We thought that he would have to stop the concert. (25) ________ everyone’s expectation, he waited a moment, closed his eyes and then signaled (26) ________ conductor to begin again.

The orchestra began and he played with such passion and such power and such purity (27) ________ they had never heard before.

Of course, anyone knows that no one (28) ________ play a harmonious work with just three strings. I know that, and you know that, (29) ________ that night Itzhak Perlman refused to know that. When he finished, there was an awesome silence in the room. And then people rose and cheered. He s miled, wiped the sweat from his brow and then he said in a quiet, sacred tone, ―You know, sometimes it is the artist’s task to find out how much music you can still make with (30) ________ you have left.‖

This powerful line has stayed in my mind ever since I heard it. And who knows? Perhaps that is the definition of life –not just for artists but for all of us.

He has prepared all his life to make music on a violin of four strings, but all of a sudden, in the middle of a concert, he finds himself with only three strings; so it is with three strings (31) ________ he makes music, and the music he made that night with just three strings was more memorable than any that (32) ________ (make) before.

( B )

Emoji — a small digital image or icon used to express an idea, emotion, etc. in electronic communications, are everywhere. The little illustrated characters that are on Smartphone keyboards (33) ________ (take) over the world now. There are shoes with emoji on them, pants with emoji on them, emoji stickers, emoji yoga, and the list goes on and on with no sign of ending.

A s emoji spreads into our culture, I’ve actually heard the following question:Is emoji moving to replace the written word in communication?

To find out, I communicated by iMessage using only emoji for five days. That meant (34) ________ ________ someone sent me a text or I wanted to send a text, I could only use the popular tiny picture characters (35) ________ (respond) to or start a conversation.

I wasn’t allowed to cheat by moving the conversation to Facebook or Twitter, etc., but I could send a phone emoji to indicate to the recipient of my texts that they should call me instead; I could not encourage the phone call myself. I wanted to see if it was (36) ________ (easy) than I expected it to be, yes, but I also wanted to see if I could influence (37) ________ I was

communicating with to overthrow their use of text and start using emoji while talking to me.

(38) ________ (communicate) with emoji was a way more difficult than I expected. There were people who were annoyed with me. There were people who gave up after a few back-and –forths. There were missed messages, (39) ________ (mix) messages, and messed up plans. There were people who immediately just called my phone to get the conversation (40) ________ (move) faster. And there was my mother who doesn’t have an iPhone and texts me often.

Section B

morning, and it’s even worse when there’s(41) ________ no reason for it. There’s a lot of interesting science behind traffic, though, and while understanding it might not make sitting in it any better, it can teach you how to avoid some of the mistakes we all make behind the wheel.

1. The way we merge (合并) causes problems

Whether you’re merging from the left or the right, (42) ________ are good that you’re doing it wrong and causing all sorts of problems. When most people see that they need to merge, their first (43) ________ is to do it right away. They brake, slow down, speed up, and change lanes in between oncoming traffic. According to the Minnesota department of Transportation, that’s completely wrong. Sudden (44) ________ causes traffic to back up, a problem that’s made worse by sudden lane changes and other cars braking to (45) ________ the merging traffic.

So what should you do? Exactly what you probably blame drivers for doing: waiting until the last minute. If you do that, traffic will fall into a more natural pattern called a ―zipper merge‖,meaning there are no surprises, no sudden braking, and a smoother transition from one lane to another, which cuts down on backups. This does, of course, rely on other drivers to let you in at the last minute and be polite enough not to cut you off, which causes all sorts of other problems.

2. You are causing the traffic Jams you hate

Traffic jams have long been chalked up to (取决于) the (46) ________ of traffic on the roads, but it turns out that even heavy traffic can (47) ________ smoothly if people maintain a (48) ________ speed. The problem is that we can’t. Researchers have found that just one person even slightly stepping on their brakes can have a terrible effect on the traffic around them.

On even (49) ________ busy road, it can be only a few minutes for traffic to a complete halt behind someone who (50) ________ their brakes to let another driver merge. The standstill usually occurs several minutes after the braking, well after the person that causes the problem in the first place has gone on his way.

III.Reading Comprehension

Section A

Corporate scandals(丑闻), like political scandals, start with shocking revelation and then move inevitably into who-knew-what stage. This is where executives can start reestablishing their (51) ________ --or deepen the damage.

Since they were forced to (52) ________ one of the biggest frauds(欺诈行为) in auto industry history last month, the executives at V olkswagen have offered (53) ________ and promised to fix the cheating devices wired into eleven millions of their diesel cars (柴油车). But they haven’t explained who ordered, (54) ________ and designed the software that enabled the cars to cheat on emissions tests while emitting (55) ________ on the road. Nor has Volkswagen said how and when it plans to fix the cars, which many customers bought in the belief that they were fuel (56) ________ and clean.

On October 8, German prosecutors (检察官) broke into the corporate offices as part of their investigation. Meanwhile, Matthias Muller, the (57) ________ appointed chief executive, continued to insist that the former executive, Martin Winterkorn, who resigned shortly after the scandal, knew (58) ________. ―Do you really think that a chief executive had time for the inner functioning of engine software?‖ he said in a recent interview, as if the problem was some (59) ________ shortcoming and not an elaborate effort to (60) ________ regulators and customers around the world.

If Mr. Winterkorn was not responsible, who was? Nobody believes that the handful of senior managers could have (61) ________ this scheme without any support. Hans-Dieter Potsch, a supervisory board chairman, issued a statement earlier this month, saying it would take time before V olkswagen could make (62) ________ the findings of its internal investigations. ―We must overcome the crisis,‖ he explained, ―but we must also ensure that V olkswagen continues to grow.‖ That seems to miss the point that V olkswagen will neither overcome the crisis nor grow unless it can instantly produce some (63) ________ answers and explanations.

Even if they manage to fix millions of cars, Volkswagen executives will still face an enormous (64) ________ from lawsuits, lost sales and the (65) ________ to V olkswagen’s reputation. There is no device to block the angry and urgent questions that they face. Apologizing is just the easy part.

Section B

( A )

Poor bears comes to the UK, bringing only a red hat, a suitcase, a sandwich, and jars of marmalade(果酱) with him. Heading straight to a major London train station, he sits on his suitcase and stops passers-by from time to time in the hope of finding a free home.

This is how Paddington Bear, the main character of the UK animated movie Paddington, is introduced to audiences. On March 3, during Prince William’s visit to China, he attended the Chinese premiere (首演) of the film in Shanghai.

―Many Britons were raised on tales of Paddington, the second-best-known bear in fiction after Winnie the Pooh,‖ the Economist noted. While Winnie the Pooh reminds people of the innocence and simplicity of the past, ―the well- meaning Paddington always causes chaos when he goes through cultural misunderstandings.‖

The movie, described as ―a total delight, as warm and welcome as a hot pair of socks on a winter morning‖ by the Telegraph, tells the story of the bear, who is sent to London by his family, after an earthquake destroys their home in Peru. At Paddington station, he meets Mr. Brown, Mrs. Brown and their two kids. The Brown family name him Paddington, because they can’t say his Peruvian name. After the f uzzy (毛茸茸的) stranger enters the Browns’ home, he teaches everyone how to laugh and love. In the end, Mr. Brown says that ―even if he’s from a different species, he’s still family.‖

As Phoenix magazine put it, ―The story shows British sympathy and kindness‖ as th e refugee Paddington is given a new home and a loving family in London.

Released at a time when immigration is a hot topic in the UK, ―Paddington has a very clear message: welcome the other into your home‖, the Philadelphia Inquirer noted.

And Paddington Bear is also a great example of the traditional politeness that British people are well known for. For example, Paddington Bear calls people ―Mr.‖, ―Mrs.‖ and ―Miss‖, rarely using their first name. he also loves making small talk with people. For instance, Paddington often has polite conversations about unimportant things with people like his housekeeper.

66. Which of the following statements about Paddington Bear is true?

A. He is saved by the Brown family from an earthquake in Peru.

B. With the help of the Brown family, he learns how to laugh and love.

C. He is traditional and prefers to greet strangers using their first name.

D. As an immigrant to the UK, he experiences many cultural misunderstandings.

67. Which of the following words best describe the qualities of Paddington bear?

A. kind and polite.

B. innocent and unintelligent.

C. humorous and optimistic.

D. honest and straightforward.

68. We can infer from the article that _________________.

A. the tales of Paddington have reminded British people to be kind to those who immigrate to

the UK

B. at the time when the Paddington stories were released, immigrants were not welcomed in the

UK

C. the Paddington stories once encouraged a large number of Germans to go to the UK

D. Paddington’s British habit of making ―small talk‖ helped to enrich the German language

69. According to the last paragraph, ―small talk‖ probably means _____________.

A. polite greetings to unfamiliar people

B. conversation about unimportant things

C. conversations about other p eople’s private lives

D. Arguments between close friends

1. Yotel New York

The self-service kiosks at this high-tech N ew York hotel work just like the ones you’d see at an airport. There are just five-steps to register and obtain your card key. There is even a robotic luggage bellboy. You tap in the number of bags you are carrying and sizes, then wait for a robot arm to swing down and store your luggage in a locker (say, for a day trip). This also speeds up the check-in process if the first thing you need to do, like me, is head to a series of meetings.

2. Marriott Detroit Airport

Another option for business travelers in a hurry: Marriott is rolling out its mobile check-in app to 325 hotels this year, including the Marriott Detroit Airport hotel. (I’ve tested the app itself but not for a real visit quite yet.) Here is the basic idea: you download the iphone or Android app.

70. What does the word ―infuriate‖ in paragraph 2 most mean?

A. annoy.

B. remind.

C. amuse. D impress.

71. Which two hotels offer a mobile app for customers to check in?

A.Yotel New York and Marriott Detroit Airport.

B.Marriott Detroit Airport and Radisson: LaCrosse.

C.Marriott Detroit Airport. and Hyatt Regency Minneapolis.

D.Hyatt Regency Minneapolis and Radisson: LaCrosse.

72. Which hotel will send you a receipt by email?

A.Yotel New York.

B.Marriott Detroit Airport.

C.Radisson: LaCrosse.

D.Hyatt Regency Minneapolis.

73. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.At Yotel New York, a robot will help you with all the check-in process.

B.With its check-in app, you may enter your room in Marriott without a key.

C.Hyatt Regency Minneapolis is close to an airport terminal.

D.The barcode you receive from Radisson contributes to the fast check-in.

( C )

Scriptwriters love to complain. They are disrespected by producers, regarded dispensable (可有可无的) by directors, not duly credited by critics, treated like employees by actors – although few complain about being historically and chronically overpaid. Another thing they don’t complain about is ―the exhaustion of narrative‖, thou gh it weighs very much on their minds. For scriptwriters to complain about the insufficiency of original ideas would be like a salesman complaining about a lack of inventory. It’s not good for business.

Writers have always known there are a limited number of storylines. And it is increasingly difficult to get out in front of a viewer’s expectations. Almost every possible subject has not only been covered but covered exhaustively. How many hours of serial killer plot has the average viewer seen? Fifty? A hundred? This becomes painfully clear to any writer who attempts to orally tell his story (scriptwriter is closer to the oral tradition than it is to literature). Originality has always been in short supply. Does the proliferation (泛滥) of media mean that it is harder to be original today than it was 50 years ago? Well, yea. Today’s viewers live in a biosphere of narrative. Twenty-four-seven, multimedia, all the time. When a storyteller competes for a viewer’s attention, he not only competes with simultaneously occurring narratives, he competes with the variations of his own narrative. That’s real competition. This exhaustion of narrative is behind the rise of recent ―counter-narrative‖ entertainments, such as:

1. Reality TV. Any regular viewer knows that reality television follows its own scripted formulas, but the appearance of being unscripted is essential to its appeal. Weary of so much predicable plot, the jaded viewer turns to reality.

2. Anecdotal narrative. The attraction of films such as Slacker and its mumblecore progeny (呢喃类) is the enjoyment of watching behavior impeded by the artifice of plot. It is not ―fake‖, not ―designed‖ (although of course it is).

3. Reenactment drama. Whether based on famous events or lesser-known ones, reenactment entertainment sells the premise that these events actually happened and were not cooked up by a staff of writers (though, again, if not actually cooked up, they were seasoned and served by writers).

4. Video games. The ability of the viewer to participate in the storytelling process creates an illusion of non-plan.

5. Mini-mini drama. Part of the appeal of three-to five-minute stories created for cellphones, YouTube and original programming is the illusion of not being crafted narratives. Just bits of life.

6. Documentaries. A staple of filmed entertainment since its beginnings, documentaries, historically the poor cousins of commercial cinema, have grown in number and viewership, an increase owed in part to the desire of viewers to look beyond predictable narratives.

Storytelling began as ceremony and evolved into ritual. It was commercialized in the medieval times, became big business in the 19th century and international industry in the 20th. The traditional concept of movies, a projected image in a dark room of viewers, feels increasingly old. Narrative will mutate(变异) and endure. Audio-visual entertainment is changing and narrative will change with it.

74. According to the author, scriptwriters seldom complain of having ____________.

A. been looked down upon by producers

B. suffered the exhaustion of narrative

C. been considered unimportant by directors

D. been badly treated by actors and actresses

75. In which of the following entertainment forms can the viewers take part in its narrative

process?

A. Reenactment.

B. Video games.

C. Mini-mini drama.

D. Documentaries.

76. Which of the following statements is TRUE to the fact?

A. Narrative became commercialized in the middle age.

B. Storytelling became commercialized after the Middle Ages.

C. Narrative became a worldwide industry in the 19th century.

D. Storytelling grew into large business in the 20th century.

77. Which of the following statements is NOT in agreement with the author’s ideas?

A. Scriptwriting is nearer to the oral tradition than it is to literature.

B. Narrative exhaustion is responsible for the rise of anti-narrative entertainment.

C. It is less difficult to be original today than it was half a century ago.

D. The appearance of being unscripted is important to the appeal of Reality TV.

Section C

Plans kick off soon

For years, Chinese soccer fans have rarely had the chance to cheer for a triumph from the national team. However, hope for Chinese soccer has been ignited(点燃) recently, as the government released an overall reform plan to boost the development of soccer in China on march 16.

By 2025, 50000 elementary and middle schools will include soccer in the curriculum. According to the plan, students will be given textbooks that teach the positions of players and soccer tactics(战术). They will also be encouraged to form soccer teams and participate in competitions regularly. The extraordinary young players will be enrolled into local leagues and training camps, helping to build up a large soccer talent pool.

Chinese soccer, with the national team currently ranked at No 83 in the world, has been lagging behind many other countries for a long time. Critics say the biggest reason is a lack of a well-built youth training system, which is the key to creating a strong soccer culture, according to the BBC.

Take Spain, a team that has dominated the world of soccer for a long time, as an example. It has the world’s best soccer school, La Masia. This FC Barcelona youth academy is widely known for producing skillful and creative soccer talents. Teams in the academy are divided into 12 levels, from U8(for players under 8 years old) to U19. Its talent scouts (星探) are stationed around the world, always looking for boys who show outstanding potential for soccer. Studying there is free of charge. A talented 10-year-old boy can walk into La Masia and come out eight years later as a superstar.

The rising soccer giant Germany also knows the importance of youth training. Germany scored only one goal at the 2000 European Championships, which started a national discussion over why the country could no longer produce good, young players. So in 2001, the German Football League required that all Bundesliga (甲级联赛) clubs set up academies with youth teams from U12 to U23. The clubs now spend over 100 million on youth development each year. And they have successfully raised the standards of young German players.

In 26-year-old midfielder Thomas Muwller, 25 year-old midfielder Toni Kroos and 33-year-old full back Philipp Lahm, for instance, the world has witnessed Bayern’s youth work paying off handsomely.

―Youth is the key to China’s soccer, as late Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping said‖ but it takes time to gain resu lts,‖ said President Xi Jinping in 2014, ―China’s soccer dream looks far away, but we cannot stop.‖

(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 13 WORDS) 78. What is the detail of China’s soccer reform plan?

79. According to critics, why has Chinese soccer been left behind many other countries?

80. La Masia in Barcelona is well famous for____________________________ .

81. _________________________ has raised the young German players.

But those programs -though some remain popular -increasingly occupy fringe times slots on foreign networks. Instead, a growing number of shows produced by local broadcasters are on the air at the best times. The shift counters longstanding assumptions that TV shows produced in the United States would continue to overshadow locally produced shows from Singapore to Sicily. The changes are coming at a time when the influence of the United States on international affairs has annoyed friends and foes alike, and some people are expressing relief that at least on television American culture is no longer quite the force it once was. “There has always been a concern that the image of the world would be shaped too much by American culture,” said Dr. Jo Groebek, director general of the European Institu te for the Media, a non-profit group. Given the choice, he adds, foreign viewers often prefer homegrown shows that better reflect local tastes, cultures and historical events. Unlike in the United States, commercial broadcasting in most regions of the world -including Asia, Europe, and a lesser extent Latin America, which has a long history of commercial TV -is a relatively recent development. A majority of broadcasters in many countries were either state-owned or state-subsidized for much of the last century. Governments began to relax their control in the 1980’s by privatizing national broadcasters and granting licenses to dozens of new commercial networks. The rise of cable and satellite pay-television increased the spectrum of channels. Relatively inexperienced and often financed on a shoestring, these new commercial stations needed hours of programming fast. The cheapest and easiest way to fill airtime was to buy shows from American studios, and the bidding wars for popular shows were fierce. The big American studios took advantage of that demand by raising prices and forcing foreign broadcasters to buy less popular programs if they wanted access to the best-selling shows and movies. “The studio priced themselves out of prime time,” said Harry Evans Sloan, chairman of SBS Broadcasting, a Pan-European broadcaster. Mr. Sloan estimates that over the last decade, the price of American programs has increased fivefold even as the international ratings for these shows have declined. American broadcasters are still the biggest buyers of American-made television shows, accounting for 90% of the $25 billion in 2001 sales. But international sales which totaled $2.5 billion last year often make the difference between a profit and a loss on show. As the pace of foreign sales slows -the market is now growing at 5% a year, down from the double-digit growth of the 1990’s -studio executives are rethinking production costs. 6. Which of the following best characterizes the image embodied in American shows? A. Self-contradictory B. Prejudice-free C. Culture-loaded D. Audience-targeted 7. The intervention of governments in the 1980’s resulted in __________ . A. the patenting of domination shows and movies B. the emergence of new commercial networks C. the promotion of cable and satellite pay-television D. the intense competition coming from the outside 8. The phrase “on a shoestring” (Para. 6) most probably means __________. A. in need of capital B. after a fashion C. on second thoughts D. in the interests of themselves 9. The main reason why American dramas and sitcoms are driven out of prime time is that ____. A. they lose competitiveness B. they are not market-oriented C. they are too much priced D. they fall short of audience expectations 10. American studio producers will give thought to production costs __________. A. if they have no access to popular shows B. because their endeavors come to no avail C. since bidding wars are no longer fierce D. as international sales pace slows down Passage Three How shops can exploit people's herd mentality to increase sales 1. A TRIP to the supermarket may not seem like an exercise in psychological warfare—but it is. Shopkeepers know that filling a store with the aroma of freshly baked bread makes people feel hungry and persuades them to buy more food than they had intended. Stocking the most expensive products at eye level makes them sell faster than cheaper but less visible competitors. Now researchers are investigating how “swarm intelligence” (th at is,how ants,bees or any social animal,including humans,behave in a crowd) can be used to influence what people buy. 2. At a recent conference on the simulation of adaptive behaviour in Rome,Zeeshan-ul-hassan Usmani,a computer scientist from the Florida Institute of Technology,described a new way to increase impulse buying using this phenomenon. Supermarkets already encourage shoppers to buy things they did not realise they wanted: for instance,by placing everyday items such as milk and eggs at the back of the store,forcing shoppers to walk past other tempting goods to reach them. Mr Usmani and Ronaldo Menezes,also of the Florida Institute of Technology, set out to enhance this tendency to buy more by playing on the herd instinct. The idea is that, if a certain product is seen to be popular, shoppers are likely to choose it too. The challenge is to keep customers informed about what others are buying. 3. Enter smart-cart technology. In Mr Usmani's supermarket every product has a radio frequency identification tag, a sort of barcode that uses radio waves to transmit information,and every trolley has a scanner that reads this information and relays it to a central computer. As a customer walks past a shelf of goods, a screen on the shelf tells him how many people currently in the shop have chosen that particular product. If the number is high, he is more likely to select it too.
