II. Grammar and Vocabulary
Section A
Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
Table tennis, also known as ping pong, is a sport (21) two or four players hit a lightweight ball back and forth (22) a table using a small bat. The game takes place on a hard table divided by a net. Except for the initial serve, the rules are generally as follows: players must allow a ball played toward them to bounce one time on their side of the table, and must return it (23) it bounces on the opposite side at least once. When a player fails to return the ball (24) the rules, a point (25) (score). Play is fast and demands quick reactions. Spinning the ball alters its trajectory and limits an opponent's options, giving the hitter a great advantage.
The sport originated in Victorian England, where it was played among the upper-class as an after-dinner parlour game. It has been suggested that makeshift versions of the game were developed by British military officers in India in around 1860s or 1870s, (26) brought it back with them. A row of books stood up along the center of the table as a net, two more books (27) (serve) as rackets and were used to continuously hit a golf-ball.
It had several different names, (28) (include) 'whiff-whaff'. The name "ping-pong" was in wide use before British manufacturer J. Jaques & Son Ltd trademarked it in 1901. The name "ping-pong" then came (29) (describe) the game played using the rather expensive Jaques's equipment. A similar situation arose in the United States, where Jaques sold the rights to the "ping-pong" name to Parker Brothers. Parker Brothers then enforced its trademark for the term
in the 1920s making the various associations change their names to "table tennis" instead of the more common, (30) trademarked, term.
Section B
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be
manager at an investment company cited an example of a(n) 41 who had prepared well. “He seemed very prepared to work for our company during the interview. He 42 good research on the company’s core business and also the industry in general,” she said. This suggests that HR managers expect candidates to do their homework 43 , but how? Here are some tips to 44 your chances of getting a job.
Search the Web and research the 45 of the company and the people who you think are going to be interviewing you. Learn exactly what it is that they do and how you would fit in with the company. Most importantly, try to understand the “culture” of the company, which is to say its underlying 46 ; the HR departments often state missions and give 47 statements. You need to communicate in a way that 48 their company standards; this will show that you can fit in that organization. Understand a little of what their 49 are doing. This will show that you’ve bothered to find out where their position in the market is.
Just as important is your own personal preparation. Think about the key things you want to communicate and why you would be ideal for the job. Think about how you can sound 50 without sounding desperate -- how you can sell yourself.
Generally, wear a suit (and also a tie for guys), but the dress code depends on the job you are going for. When you study the company culture, check what is expected in this area also.
III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Unexpected gifts
A large number of inventions require years of difficult research and development before they are 41 . For instance, Thomas Edison had to make more than 1,000 attempts to invent the incandescent light bulb (白炽灯泡) before he succeeded. History is full of 42 other examples of people trying, yet failing, to make inventions before they 43 succeeded. Yet some inventions have come about not through hard work but simply by accident.
44 , when someone unintentionally invented something, the inventor was attempting to create something else. 45 , in the 1930s, chemist Roy Plunkett was attempting to make a new substance that could be used to refrigerate items. He mixed some chemicals together. Then, he put them into a pressurized container and cooled the 46 . By the time his experiment was complete, he had a new invention. It was not a substance that could be used for 47 though. Instead, he had invented Teflon, which is today most 48 used to make nonstick pots and pans. 49 , decades earlier, John Pemberton was a pharmacist(药剂师) in Atlanta, Georgia. He was attempting to create a tonic that people could use whenever they had headaches. While he was not successful in that 50 , he managed to invent 51 , the world-famous carbonated soft drink.
Scientists have also made crucial discoveries 52 when they were conducting experiments. In 1928, Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin, an antibiotic, 53 . He discovered some mold(霉) growing in a dish with some bacteria. He noticed that the bacteria seemed to be 54 the
mold. When he investigated further, he determined some of the many useful properties of penicillin, which has saved millions of lives over the past few decades. Likewise, in 1946, scientist Percy Spencer was conducting an experiment with microwaves. He had a candy bar in his pocket, and he noticed that it suddenly 55 . He investigated and learned the reason why that had happened. Soon afterward, he built a device that could utilize microwaves to heat food: the microwave oven.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.
（A）
International model United Nations meetings are events at which high school and college students from all over the world play the role of UN representatives. These meetings are largely based on the real United Nations. They are even divided into many of the same groups, such as the UN Security Council and the World Health Organization. The events allow students to develop and strengthen skills that are important for international careers, such as politics or international law.
One of the main goals of the meetings is to develop effective communication skills. Because of this, students participate in many presentations, debates, and written research assignments. For example, at the end of every meeting, each student group writes a suggestion for solving one major world problem that they have learned about through their research assignments. These groups then discuss their suggestion with the rest of the student representatives in order to get them to support it. They may also discuss and solve invented problems, such as imaginary wars or natural disasters. Such activities challenge students' abilities to convey their thoughts in a clear, thoughtful way.
In addition to working on basic communication, students at the meetings try to express themselves in polite ways that help to solve problems. This is perhaps the most difficult task for real UN delegates, so model UN organizers put a lot of emphasis on it. The organizers strongly encourage students to try to understand the ideas of others, consider their feelings, and agree on solutions.
The meetings are also designed to help students become more open-minded. Students often play the role of representatives for countries other than their own. This encourages them to learn
more about other cultures and to think about important problems in different ways. While pretending to be from a different country, students are exposed to a lot of ideas and information that they would not normally consider. Usually, they come away with a much better understanding of people in different cultures. This experience often gives them an advantage over schoolmates who only learn about world events and international relations in traditional classrooms.
56.What is the passage mainly about?
A.What students learn at model UN conferences.
B.How to solve invented problems at the UN.
C.The main procedures of model UN conferences.
D.Why viewpoints are changing at the UN.
57.Why do students at model UN meetings participate in presentations, debates, and written
assignments?
A.To solve one major world issue.
B.To learn good communication skills.
C.To help them decide between careers.
D.To get student representatives to support them.
58. The author mention imaginary wars and natural disasters in order to .
A. contrast them with real world problems.
B.point out that students have the ability to find moderate solutions to them.
C.give two examples of invented problems.
D.explain how problems are solved at the model UN.
59. What does the author imply about students who only learn in traditional classrooms?
A. They are given a lot of information but poor in communicating.
B.They don't learn about international events.
C.It is very easy for them to understand their schoolmates.
D.It can be hard for them to understand other cultures.

Being able to land safely is a critically important skill for all flying animals. Whereas terrestrial(陆生的) animals face no particular challenge when they need to stop running or crawling, flying animals move at much higher speeds, and they must be careful about how they land. Hitting the ground, or even water, at full flight speed would be quite dangerous. Before touching down, they must decrease their speed in order to land safely. Both bats and birds have mastered the skill of landing, but these two types of flyers go about it quite differently.
In the past it was believed that, in terms of flying mechanics, there was little difference between bats and birds. This belief was based only on assumption, however, because for years nobody had actually studied in graphic detail how bats move their wings. In recent years, though, researchers have discovered a number of interesting facts about bat flight. Bats are built differently from birds, and their wings incorporate both their front and hind limbs(肢). This makes coordinating their limbs more difficult for bats and, as a result, they are not very good at flying over longer distances. However, they are much better at maneuverability: a bat can quickly change its direction of flight or completely reverse it, something a bird cannot easily do.
Another interesting characteristic of bat flight is the way in which bats land-upside down! Unlike birds, which touch down on the ground or on tree branches, bats can be observed flying around and then suddenly hanging upside down from an object overhead. How do they do it? A group of researchers recently used video cameras to film bats landing on nets suspended from the ceiling of their laboratory and studied the recordings in slow motion. They painted spots on the bats' wings to see in detail what happens to the wings in flight and during touchdown. It turns out that the bats flew in a straight line up to the net and then quickly flipped over and attached themselves to it upside down. One downside to this landing routine is that the bats often slam into their landing spot with some force, which probably causes pain. However, not all bats hit their landing spots with the same speed and force; these will vary depending on the area where a bat species makes its home. For example, a cave bat, which regularly perches on a hard stone ceiling, is more careful about its landing preparation than a bat more accustomed to landing in leafy treetops.
63.According to the passage, what skill is crucial for flying animals？
A. Diving under water.
B. Slowing down to land.
C. Flying over great distances.
D. Balancing on high branches.
64.Which of the following is a false assumption about bats that was recently corrected?
A. They cannot hear.
B. They sleep upside down.
C. They fly similarly to birds.
D. They hide in tree branches.
65.The researchers used all of the following to study bats EXCEPT .

D. cameras
66.What is the main topic of the passage?

B.Why scientists have difficulty observing bats.
C.Differences in the eating habits of bats and birds.
D.Ways in which bats move differently from birds.
Section C
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.
of the rest contain only a small quantity of fruit, according to a study carried by the British Food Commission.
"Shoppers need to check the labels before buying drinks, though sometimes the actual content can be non-existent," said Food Commission spokesperson Lan Tokelove."Food production is highly competitive. 67 It will increase profits, and consumers won't always realize they are being tricked."
Flavorings are focused on the flavors of natural food products such as fruits, meats and vegetables, or creating flavor for food products that do not have the desired flavors. Researchers analyzed the contents of 28 strawberry-flavored products sold in stores. 68 Of the 11 products that did contain strawberries, five of them contained less than one percent real fruit. In addition, each juice box contained nearly eight teaspoons of sugar.
69 Let's take jam as an example. Some strawberry-flavored jam was labeled as containing no artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners, but it contained no strawberries at all.
The Food Commission suggested all flavors used in a product should be listed on the packaging.
Consumers have the rights to know clearly about what they have bought. Under current UK law. Food packages do no not have to distinguish between natural and artificial flavoring. "Describing a product as strawberry flavor and covering the surface of the packed with pictures of strawberries is misleading. 70 Unfortunately, it is also legal and widespread," Tokelove said. IV. Summary Writing
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
The Lascaux cave complex
When another old cave is discovered in the south of France，it is not usual news. Rather，it is art ordinary event. Such discoveries are so frequent these days that hardly anybody pays attention to them. However，when the Lascaux cave complex was discovered in 1940, the world was amazed. Painted directly on its walls were hundreds of scenes showing how people lived thousands of years ago. The scenes show people hunting animals, such as bison or wild cats. Other images show birds and, most noticeably, horses, which appear in more than 300 wall images, by far outnumbering all other animals.
Early artists drawing these animals accomplished a monumental and difficult task. They did not limit themselves to the easily accessible walls but carried their painting materials to spaces that required climbing steep walls or crawling into narrow passages in the Lascaux complex.
Unfortunately, the paintings have been exposed to the destructive action of water and temperature changes, which easily wear the images away. Because the Lascaux caves have many entrances, air movement has also damaged the images inside.
Although they are not out in the open air, where natural light would have destroyed them long ago, many of the images have been destroyed and are barely recognizable. To prevent further damage, the site was closed to tourists in 1963, 23 years after it was discovered.
