Suspended Coffee

How about buying a cup of coffee for someone you’ll never meet?

The idea, begun in Naples, Italy, and called “Suspended Coffee”一 i.e., a customer pays for a

coffee and “banks”it for someone (21) ___________ (fortunate) —has become an international

internet sensation(轰动) with coffee shops in Europe and North America (22)

___________ (participate) in the movement. The Facebook page alone has more than 28,000

“likes”.

The tradition of “suspended coffee” is a long-standing tradition in Italy (23)__________ increased

in popularity after the Second World War. Recently the practice was starting to take hold in other

European countries (24) ___________ (hit) hard economically.

Homegrown Hamilton, a coffee chain of Canada, has decided to join the effort. “It’s a fantastic

initiative (25) ___________ we decided to help out. We had been doing it pretty much anyway,

just not under a banner. During the winter, we were giving away coffee or soup to the homeless,”

said manager Mike Pattison, “Staff members are always close to the coffeehouse’ front door, and

(26) ___________ they see someone walking by who looks like they want, a coffee but can’t

afford it, they approach that person. If the offer (27) ___________ (accept), they provide the

coffee.”

However, not everyone supports the idea.

In a posting on the website, Consumerist, columnist Laura Northrup raises (28)

___________ number of objections, including that coffee isn’t nutritious food for people who are

hungry and (29) ___________ the action could result in “greedy people” aking advantage of

others’ kindness. He says people (30) ___________ consider other ways to help.

Smart Phone Application Tracks Mental Health

Military service is obviously rough on a service member’s mental health. According to some

31____, 30 percent of service members develop some type of mental health issue within four

months

of returning home after leaving the army.

The military is spending more money than ever to 32____mental health issues within the ranks,

and their latest attempt is a smart phone application called the T2 MoodTracker application, which

helps service members keep track of their mental health after leaving the army. The app works

like a high-tech diary, allowing users to 33____ emotions and behaviors that result from therapy,

medication, daily experiences or changes happening at work or in the home. The smart phone app

isn’t supposed to be a pocket 34 ____, though. It serves more as an extremely accurate and 35

____record of a service member’s mental health.

Perry Bosmajian is a psychologist with the National Center for TeleHealth and Technology, where

this smart phone app was created. He says this smart phone app will produce much more accurate

results on the36 ____conditions of service members who have returned home. “Therapists and

physicians often have to rely on patient 37____ when trying to gather information about

symptoms over the previous weeks or months,” Bosmajian said. “Research has shown that

information collected after the fact, especially about mood, tends to be 38____. The best record of

an experience is when it’s recorded at the time and place it happens.”

The app specifically tracks anxiety, depression, general well-being, life stress, post-traumatic (受伤后的）stress and brain injury. The daily expressions add up over time to produce a(n) 39____

that can be observed by physicians and therapists.

The app has been downloaded more than 5,000 times since it became 40____ on the Android

Market a year ago. Users of iPhones can also have access to the app some time next year.

Directions Matter

Jet lag(时差感）may be the worst part of travelling, and it hits many people harder travelling

east than west. Why they feel this way is 41________, but scientists recently developed a new

2 / 10

model that provides an explanation for the mystery and insights on recovering from jet lag.

The model imitates the way neuronal oscillator cells (神经振子细胞）42________ crossing time

zones. These cells in our brains 43 ________our biological docks. However，the cells don’t quite

operate on a perfect 24-hour schedule. Instead, their activity follows a 44________ that lasts

slightly longer than that, about 24.5 hours. According to Michelle Girvan, an associate professor

of physics at the University of Maryland and a co-author of the study, that means it’s 45________

for us to extend the length of a day—for example, by flying west across time zones—than to

shorten the day, by flying east.

The scientists found that for 46________ travel, a person who crossed three time zones would

fully 47________in a little less than four days. For six time zones, recovery would take about six

days. For nine time zones, the recovery would take just less than eight days.

However, when a person travels eastward, the recovery time doesn’t match up as

48________. When a person crosses three time zones going east, it takes a little more than four

days to recover. For six time zones, the recovery time 49________ to more than eight days. And

for nine time zones, the recovery period is more than 12 days.

Girvan noted that not everyone has a biological clock of exactly 24.5 hours. 50________ , it varies

from person to person. The other factor to consider is 51________ cues such as sunlight, Girvan

added. How a person reacts to these cues can also 52________how quickly he or she will adjust to

a new time zone.

The scientists hope that their new model can be used in the future to figure out the best

ways to 53________ jet lag. For example, if you will be traveling six time zones eastward, start by

setting your clock ahead an hour or two several days before you leave. And when you arrive in a

new time zone, make sure that the outside cues you are exposed to 54 ________the new time

zone. That means that if it’s daytime in the new time zone, expose yourself to sunlight. And if it’s

nighttime, avoid artificial 55________, including those from smartphones and computers, to help

your biological clock adjust.

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 just read.

(A)

A woman standing over six feet tall and weighing about 200 pounds is bound to make an

impression. But in Mary Fields’ case, these features were outmatched by a heart of gold that made

her legendary(传奇的).

Born into slavery in Tennessee in 1832 or 1833, Mary had nothing, not even a date of birth.

However, in her early years, she found something of truly lasting value—a friend named Dolly. In

addition to friendship, Dolly also may have taught Mary to read and write, an invaluable

advantage for slaves. At the end of America’s Civil War, Mary finally received her freedom and

made her own way out into the world.

Mary was employed on a steamboat as a maid when she received word from Dolly, now a nun

（修女）in Ohio called Mother Amadeus. Mary arrived in Ohio in 1878 and worked at Amadeus’

girls’ school, managing the kitchen and garden. She became known as a gun-carrying, cigar-smoking woman, but also as an example of kindness and reliability. After a few years, though,

Amadeus was sent to another school out West in Montana, becoming the first black woman to

settle in central Montana.

When Mary was in her 50s, a sick Mother Amadeus called her West. So Mary made her way to the

small town of Cascade, Montana, to nurse Amadeus to health. She did this and more, running

supplies and visitors to St. Peter’s Mission where Amadeus lived. Once when her wagon(四轮马车) overturned, she guarded the delivery from wolves through the night.

But Mary's rough edges caused the local bishop (主教) to prohibit her from working at the

mission. Mother Amadeus then set her up as the first African-American female employee of the

U.S. Postal Service. Though in her 60s, Mary was such a dependable mail carrier that she earned

the name “tagecoach” Mary. She became a beloved figure in Cascade. She was the only woman

allowed in the saloon (酒馆), was the baseball team’s biggest fan and was given free meals in the

town hotel.

Nearly 70, Mary quit delivering the mail but remained in Cascade. The town’s school closed to

celebrate her unknown birthday twice a year. When she passed away in 1914, a simple cross was

placed to mark her grave and her legend in the Wild West.

56. What about Mary Fields impressed people most?

A. Her tall and fat figure. B. Her reputation as an educated slave.

C. Her friendliness and responsibility. D. Her habit of carrying a gun and smoking.

57. Which of the following shows Mary’s life experience in the order of time?

③Mary was taught to read and write.

④Mary took care of sick Amadeus.

⑤Mary worked on a steamed boat.

Two heads are better than one, according to the old saying. So why are groups with lots

of “heads” known for making bad decisions? Why does “groupthink” immediately mean

ineffectiveness and mistakes?

These questions are answered in a fascinating new book called Wiser: Getting Beyond Groupthink

to Make Groups Smarter, written by Cass R. Sunstein, a former White House official, and Reid

Hastie, an academic specialized in the psychology of decision making. Building on their combined

experiences and research, Sunstein and Hastie analyze what goes wrong in group decision-making, and then offer clear-out solutions to overcome these problems.

Group decision-making involves discussions among members of a group, each with their own

skills, experience, ideas and information. Unfortunately, as the authors explain, there are two types

of influence on group members—informational signals and social pressures—which skew (扭曲）the discussions. Informational signals cause people to keep information to themselves when it

disagrees with information from others, especially leaders. Social pressures cause people to keep

information to themselves to avoid punishment from leaders who are denied.

These influences lead to four problems, the authors write: Instead of correcting the errors of their

members, groups actually expand those errors; cascade effects (联级效应）take over when the

group follows whomever spoke first or loudest; groups become more extreme in their ideas, as the

internal discussions strengthen their predisposed（预先有倾向的）thoughts; and groups focus on

shared information instead of unshared information.

Having laid out the core problems, the authors offer solutions. They begin with a list of methods

aimed at handling the four core problems, such as:

Leaders have to keep quiet and convince group members that they sincerely want to hear all ideas.

Group success should be rewarded. Group members must understand that if the group is right,

everyone benefits; this will encourage them to ensure that they find the right answer instead of

pushing their own ideas.

Group members should be assigned specific roles, thus ensuring that everyone contributes.

Either individuals or assigned teams should be tasked with acting as devil’s advocates (唱反调的人).

Groups also fail, the author writes, because they don’t distinguish between the early rounds of

discussions, in which all ideas must be allowed on the table, and the final rounds of discussions, in

which groups must be tight and analytical as they seek the accurate solution. Successful groups

will deliberately separate the two processes.

In another approach, the authors demonstrate that the wisdom of crowds will often lead to the

right answer if a majority of crowd members know their material. Decision-makers often prefer to

rely on one single expert, but “chasing the expert” significantly reduces the probability of getting

the decision right.

Wiser is a quick, engaging and thoughtful read that convincingly argues that, with a few simple

steps and open-minded leadership, group discussions can, indeed, lead to wiser decisions.

Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

A. A special value is placed on education in Asia, where tutoring is viewed as an extension of the

Tutoring a New Normal

It’s not piano lessons or dance lessons. Nowadays, the biggest extra-curricular activity in the West

is going to a tutor. “I spend about 800 Canadian dollars a month on tutors. It’s costly,” says Pet, a

mother in Canada. However, she adds, “after finding out half my daughter’s class had tutors, I felt

like my child was going to fall behind because everyone else seemed to be ahead.”

Shelley, a mother of three, also has tutors constantly coming in and out of her home. “When I used

to sit down with my children, it was hard to get them focused. I was always shouting. When I got

a tutor once a week, they became focused for one entire hour and could get most of their

homework done.”

Tutoring isn’t simply a private school phenomenon. 67________ In Canada alone, seven percent

of high school students reported using a tutor in 2010. That increased to 15 percent last year.

Overall, parents hire tutors because they are worried schools are not meeting their expectations,

but there is also a cultural shift. 68 ________As a large number of Asians emigrated to the West

over the recent years, their attitudes towards education have had an impact.

69________ “A lot of parents just don’t have time to help their children with homework,”

7 / 10

says Julie Diamond, president of an American tutoring company. “Others couldn’t help their

children after Grade 3.”

There has been a shift in the attitudes, too. “Children used to get bullied(欺侮）for having a

tutor,” Diamond says. “Now it’s becoming the norm to have one.”

________One parent feels surprised that so many of her child’s classmates have tutors.

“For the amount we pay in tuition, they should have as much extra help as they need，” she says.

Still, she’s now thinking of getting a tutor. Why? Her daughter has actually asked for one.

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.

Gene Therapy

“We used to think that our fate was in our stars, but now we know that, in large measure, our fate

is in our genes,” said James Watson. Watson is a molecular (分子的）biologist and co-discoverer

of DNA structure. Why? Scientists are seeing that gene therapy is revolutionizing the treatment of

disease.

In gene therapy, healthy genes are introduced into defective(有缺陷的）cells to prevent or cure

disease. While much of the research is in the beginning stages, some successes point to the real

benefit of the therapy. In Italy, doctors have recently treated one genetic disease with gene

therapy. This disease most often begins to destroy the brain when children are between 1 and 2,

stopping them from walking and talking. By inserting normal, healthy genetic material into a vims

and then infecting the patients, scientists seem to be able to cure the disease. Although the children

given the therapy still need follow-up treatments, they now lead a relatively normal life.

Gene therapy has also been used to help older patients. These people suffer from a disease that

causes slow movement and uncontrollable shaking because part of the brain dies. Those treated

with gene therapy showed a 23.1 percent improvement when tested six months later.

Gene therapy appears to be a more positive alternative to surgery or medicine and is an exciting

new approach that is just making the news. Researchers hope that in the coming years, every

genetic disease will have gene therapy as its treatment. But more research is needed to assure its

safety.
