PARTⅣ READING COMPREHENSION

(45minutes,30points,1point each)

Directions:In this part of the test,there are five short passages.Read each passage carefully,and then do the questions that follow.Choose the best answer from the four choices given and mark the corresponding letter with asingle bar across the square brackets on your machine-scored Answer Sheet.

Passage One

Hospitals are packed full of valuable information about patients,but doctors often struggle to use it effectively.A London-based start-up wants to change all that with anew suite of iPad apps called Medopad.

The idea is to link up every data-making system and machine in ahospital to acentral service which can deliver the collection of apatient's records—from historical medical files to X-ray and scans—at the touch of adoctor's iPad.

A number of Medopad APPs help doctors utilize this data.For example,one app broadcasts the readings from apatient's heart monitor to their doctor's iPad screen,so acheck-up can be carried out from anywhere in the hospital building.Another app uses voice-recognition to let doctors create written notes on patients just by speaking.

For BMI Healthcare,Medopad could be about to transform how their doctors work.BMI has been piloting the software and testing integration with its hospitals'existing databases and is now deciding whether to roll it out for use with actual patients."It's intuitive,and it kind of works the way doctors think,"says group medical director,Mark Ferreira.

With Medopad in place,doctors will be able to refer cases to one another for asecond opinion from within the app suite.Photos of apatient's visible symptoms can be taken using an iPad and shared,for example.Another Medopad app features integration with the Google Glass headset,which allows up to five clinicians to collaborate in real time,take pictures and share them,and access apatient's records simultaneously.A pathology app can even do some analytical work for doctors,with abnormal blood-test results flagged automatically.

The system has anumber of security features.For example,it can be set up so that when adoctor's device physically leaves the hospital network,patient data will no longer be available on it.

Doctors and patients alike should benefit from this kind of system,says Stevan Wing,who co-hosts apodcast on medical apps called The Digital Doctor."If you increase the doctor's information as well as their ability to share it with patients and make joint decisions,then Ithink the quality of care must improve,"he says.

Charles Lowe,president of the Telemedicine and eHealth section at the Royal Society of Medicine in London,has been following Medopad's progress."It's going to speed up treatment,"he says.

51.As used in this passage,the word"app"probably means.

A.an advertisement about medical facilities

B.a mobile phone with special functions

C.a website that supplies medical data

D.a computer program or apiece of software

52.The biggest advantage of Medopad lies in.

A.improving access to the Internet

B.reducing the medical cost at ahospital

C.effective use of information on patients

D.quick exchange of data between hospitals

53.It can be concluded from Paragraph4that BMI Healthcare.

A.has started to use Medopad clinically

B.is using Medopad on atrial basis

C.has changed the way doctors work

D.knows what each doctor thinks via Medopad

54.As said in Paragraph5,Medopad can help doctors to do the following EXCEPT.

A.to test the blood of patients for abnormalities

B.to take and share photos of patients'symptoms

C.to use apatient's information at the same time

D.to ask for the opinion from another doctor

55.The last two paragraphs suggest that doctors are likely to Medopad.

A.welcome

B.fear

C.oppose

D.improve

56.The central idea of this passage is that.

A.iPads will replace doctors in future healthcare

B.iPads will be readily available in many hospitals

C.doctors with iPads could transform hospital care

D.Medopad will be of financial benefit to patients

Passage Two

In 1919 the Hotel Pennsylvania,in New York,opened its first restaurant,with offerings notable for their descriptive simplicity:"lamb,""potatoes:boiled,"and so on.Nearly100years later,the Statler Grill,one of the hotel's current restaurants,offers updated takes,from a"lollipop Colorado lamb chop"to"buttered mashed potatoes."

You needn't be alinguist to note changes in the language of menus,but Stanford's Dan Jurafsky has written abook doing just that.In The Language of Food:A Linguist Reads the Menu,Jurafsky describes how he and some colleagues analyzed adatabase of6,500restaurant menus describing650,000dishes from across the U.S.Among their findings:fancy restaurants,not surprisingly,use fancier—and longer—words than cheaper restaurants do.Jurafsky writes that"Every increase of one letter in the average length of words describing adish is associated with an increase of69cents in the price of that dish."

Lower-priced restaurants,meanwhile,rely on"linguistic fillers":subjective words like delicious,unique,and soft.These are the empty calories of menus,less indicative of flavor than of low prices.Cheaper establishments also use terms like ripe and fresh,which Jurafsky calls"status anxiety"words.Thomas Keller's Per Se,after all,would never use fresh—that much is taken for granted—but Subway would.Per Se does,however,engage in the trendy habit of adding provenance to descriptions of ingredients(Island Creek oysters,Frog Hollow's peaches).According to Jurafsky,very expensive restaurants"mention the origins of the food more than15times as often as inexpensive restaurants."

Already,provenance-oriented menu language is spreading outward from the finer restaurants to the Subways and Applebee's of the world.The first business to take provenance seriously was Chipotle,says the food developer Barb Stuckey.("They've always menued Niman Ranch pork.")

In turn,high-end food supplier may head in adifferent direction."As this stuff trickles down,the rich need away to be different again,"says Jurafsky,who notes the flourishing menu trend of extreme minimalism,seen at the Michelin-starred San Francisco spot Saison,where the set price starts at$248and the menu comes after the meal,as asouvenir.In some ways,this is"a return to200years ago,when you'd say,'Give me dinner,'and they'd just give you what they'd cooked,"Jurafsky says.

57.What does Dan Jurafsky find out about the language of menus?

A.More expensive restaurants tend to use simple words in their menus.

B.Cheaper restaurants tend to use longer words in their menus.

C.The longer the words in the menu,the more expensive the dishes.

D.The shorter the words in the menu,the more expensive the dishes.

58.What does Dan Jurafsky think of the words like"delicious"and"fresh"in the menu?

A.They indicate high quality of the food.

B.They are hollow words of little value.

C.They are more than necessary in the menu.

D.They will be out of fashion sooner or later.

59.The underlined word"provenance"(Para.3)probably refers to.

A.the calorie count of the food

B.the special flavor of the food

C.the source of the food

D.the way the food is made

60.Which of the following is probably the most expensive restaurant?

A.Subway.

B.Per Se.

C.Chipotle.

D.Applebee.

61.As stated in the last paragraph,the latest menu trend is.

A.simplicity

B.creativity

C.practicality

D.extravagance

62.What is the major topic of the passage?

A.A comparison of various menus.

B.The messages hidden in amenu.

C.Dish price and menu trend.

D.The evolution of menu language.

Passage Three

It is impossible to confidently predict what will happen should Scotland decide to declare independence.But some factors will come into play.

The first is an unavoidable fact of life:we are all getting older.Developed nations are set to struggle with the effects of an ageing population over the next50years,but population projections suggest the impact will be felt even harder in Scotland.The problem for Scotland is that its under-65population will shrink while its over-65s increase,putting big pressure on public finances.

The Scottish government says independence will allow the nation to pursue avery different immigration strategy to the rest of the UK.But if working-age migrants don't come as hoped,Scotland will find it more difficult to support its ageing population.Things get worse when North Sea oil and gas are taken into account."Oil revenues will almost certainly fall over the longer term,"says David Phillips at the IFS."If it takes decades,that would give Scotland time to adjust,although it would still involve some potentially painful choices."

Addressing the shortfall in revenues will mean higher taxes or afall in the living standards—something Scotland can ill afford:life expectancy is already2.3years lower for Scottish men than those in the rest of the UK.The difference is particularly striking in Glasgow."Health is Scotland's Achilles'heel,"says Gerry McCartney of NHS Scotland.And it's arelatively recent phenomenon.

The Scottish government says avote for independence will reduce inequality.But astudy suggests that new Scottish powers to increase taxes or benefits may have little effect.That's because small nations can find it difficult to implement radically different policies to their larger neighbors:people can simply decide to cross the border in search of lower taxes,for example.This is particularly problematic when it comes to funding pensions,which depend on athriving workforce."Raising tax rates to provide pensions could be aself-defeating policy if it leads to mass departure of workers,"says Comerford.

The voting age for the Scottish referendum has been lowered to16from the normal UK voting age of18,to let teenagers have asay in their country's future.If independence goes wrong,a youthful yes vote could prove abig mistake.

63.It can be inferred from Paragraph2that.

A.Scotland will soon have amuch smaller population

B.an ageing population will be abig trouble for Scotland

C.elders will make up more than half of Scottish population

D.independence will add to the ageing population

64.The author believes that revenues from oil.

A.will fall dramatically in ashort time

B.have nothing to do with the living standards

C.will make little difference to elders'life

D.are critical to supporting the ageing population

65.The expression"Achilles'heel"used in Paragraph4probably means.

A.an vulnerable spot

B.a big advantage

C.a source of pride

D.a future problem

66.The underlined sentence in Paragraph5implies that.

A.higher tax rates can provide enough pensions

B.raising tax rates will help win independence

C.tax rates are subject to change if necessary

D.increasing taxes may possibly harm the workforce

67.The author seems to the potential declaration of independence by Scotland.

A.completely support

B.strongly oppose

C.be concerned over

D.be neutral about

68.A proper title for this passage might be

A.It Is Time That Scotland Declared Independence.

B.Scotland:What if Independence Goes Horribly Wrong?

C.Independence—Both aBlessing and aCurse.

D.What's the Best Way to Win Independence in Scotland?

Passage Four

Dolphins are believed to have succeeded where mainstream physicians have not.The long-standing myth about the extraordinary powers of dolphins as healers has been passed down from the first written records of encounters with these animals.Much of our attraction to these animals derives from their so-called combination of intelligence and communications skills.

Dolphin-assisted therapy(DAT)typically involves several sessions of customers swimming or interacting with captive dolphins,along with performing more conventional therapeutic tasks such as puzzle solving and motor-skills exercises.The standard price of DAT sessions,whose practitioners are not required by law to receive any special training or certification,is steep,reaching into thousands of dollars.DAT practitioners say that the sessions are particularly successful in treating depression and motor disorders in addition to childhood autism.But DAT can sometimes be less honestly advertised as being an effective treatment for everything from cancer to infections and development delays.

Even when they don't promise any complete cure,DAT facilities market themselves as offering real therapy.They often use technology that suggests scientific legitimacy.But true therapy must have arelationship to aspecific condition and result in quantifiable effects.While there are some published studies claiming to demonstrate positive results from DAT,few include acontrol group,which would help measure whether general,short-term results are due to interacting with the dolphins or caused by other factors,like being in the water,being given tasks,receiving increased attention from other people.

The loved ones of children with autism and other people who appear to benefit from DAT tend to accept these explanations as scientifically sound.And even those suspicious of DAT may ask,"What's the harm if achild who typically experiences little enjoyment and accomplishment finds some happiness and connection with dolphins?"

The sad fact is that they are being harmed—along with the humans who believe in them.Captive dolphins spend their lives under tremendous stress,as they struggle to adapt to environments different from the wild.Unlike their natural habitats,the shallow pools are only six feet deep and24feet long,filled with chemicals but empty of plants,sand,and other forms of life.The outcome of this treatment is devastating.Dolphins in the wild can live30or50years,but captive ones are prone to amuch shorter lifespan and other stress-and immune-related diseases.

69.Paragraph1reveals the author's.

A.admiration for dolphins as healers

B.faith in the therapeutic effect of dolphins

C.disbelief in the healing effect of dolphins

D.intense resentment to dolphins

70.Which of the following is true about DAT?

A.DAT is sometimes advertised in amisleading manner.

B.DAT sessions are cheap enough to be popularized.

C.DAT practitioners need special training before work.

D.DAT doesn't involve conventional therapeutic tasks.

71.In Paragraph3,the author expresses doubt about.

A.the availability of DAT facilities

B.the allegedly negative effect of DAT

C.the real intention of DAT critics

D.the reliability of results of studies on DAT

72.This passage implies that many people are.

A.indifferent to the benefit of DAT

B.unaware of the harm to captive dolphins

C.concerned about the captive dolphins

D.quite justified in receiving DAT

73.The author believes that captivity.

A.keeps most dolphins healthy and happy

B.leaves dolphins unhealthy and unhappy

C.can contribute to protection of dolphins

D.causes dolphins to do harm to humans

74.The central idea of this passage is that.

A.dolphin-assisted therapy is quite effective for some diseases

B.captive dolphins have ashorter lifespan than those in the wild

C.dolphins are lovely animals worthy of careful protection

D.the belief that dolphins can heal is actually an illusion

Passage Five

Back in the1950s and'60s,an American woman typically planned on getting her degree and getting properly married upon graduation.Sometimes she would work to support her new husband until he got his next degree and was well started in ajob;but after that,with so few exceptions,the wife stayed at home raising the children.

But anew study shows that that rock of experience upon which we built our families and our moral lives is crumbling beneath us.The majority of women are no longer in the home;men are slowly giving up their previous workplaces to their wives.Four in ten American households with children under18now include amother who is either the sole or primary earner for her family.It is the record-high share of working women in this position,having quadrupled since1960.

"While most of these families are headed by single mothers,a growing number are married mothers who bring in more income than their husbands,"according to the study.But single mother"providers"are at asevere disadvantage.They earn an average of$23,000and are likely to be young or black,and to have alower level of education than married women breadwinners,whose family income averages$80,000.

In1960,only4percent of single mothers had never been married;today that figure is44percent.Meanwhile,40percent of all births are to single mothers.The figure is80percent in the African-American community.

These changes also date back to the1960s,when the United States allowed its greedy corporations to locate their offices and factories overseas so as not to pay taxes.Working-class jobs for men started disappearing.As"globalization was good,"factories might move to Chengdu or Jakarta,but the U.S.would come out of the turmoil by becoming a"service economy."

But no one ever suggested how strong former steelworkers would transform overnight into adoorkeeper at the Plaza or sell atrip to Bhutan to achoosy lady at atravel agency.There is no embarrassment in saying that we are not all fit for all jobs.

But above all,I think of culture.Women were always the culture-carriers and the nurturing sex.Today,I look around and see America's popular culture degrading,and Iyearn for some motherliness in our society.Who will take those roles?

75.It can be learned from the first paragraph that in the1950's or60's.

A.men started to work at ayounger age than women

B.women were mostly better-educated than their husbands

C.the husband normally became the sole breadwinner

D.most women got married before they finished college

76.The underlined sentence in Paragraph2probably means that.

A.the divorce rate is getting increasingly high in the United States

B.partnerships or relationships are improving in American families

C.our families and moral lives are undergoing tremendous changes

D.living costs are becoming unbearably high for American couples

77.Which of the following is true according to this passage?

A.About10%of breadwinners with children under18were women in1960.

B.Most families in the United States depend on the wife for aliving.

C.Globalization has put more women out of work in the United States.

D.80percent of the mothers are single in the African-American community.

78.Paragraph6implies that.

A.men can switch to another job easily

B.sometimes men can't find asuitable job

C.women are more adaptable than men

D.a woman can do different jobs equally well

79.The author believes that the high rate of employment among women.

A.has nothing to do with the trend of globalization

B.shows the superiority of women over men

C.can contribute to the happiness of afamily

D.has negative effects on the U.S.culture

80.A proper title of this passage might be

A.For Better or Worse,Women's Roles Are Changing.

B.Why the Rate of Unemployment Is High Among Males?

C.A Closer Look at Relations Between Marriage and Income.

D.The Impact of Globalization on Women's Education.

Section A(15minutes,10points)

Directions:Put the following paragraph into Chinese.Write your Chinese version in the proper space on Answer SheetⅡ.

The common belief among linguists that each language is aperfect vehicle for the thoughts of the native speakers is in some ways the exact counterpart of the conviction of aBritish school of economics that supply and demand will regulate everything for the better.Just as economists were blind to the numerous cases in which the law of supply and demand left actual wants unsatisfied,so also many linguists are deaf to those instances in which the very nature of alanguage calls forth misunderstandings in everyday conversation,and in which,consequently,a word has to be modified or defined in order to present the real idea intended by the speaker.

Section B(15minutes,10points)

Directions:Put the following paragraph into English.Write your English version in the proper space on Answer SheetⅡ.
