Model Test 1

Part 1 writing

Too Much Expenditure on Fashion

The ever-changing fashion mirrors the advance of human civilization. And

the desire for beauty and fashion is blameless. However, some college students

dip into their purses in order to keep up with the Joneses. Some of them even cut

down the expending for books and meals to satisfy their desire for fashionable

dress.

As far as I am concerned, college students should cherish ambitions rather

than become slaves of fashion. Attention should be paid to the disadvantages of

the blinded following of fashion. Firstly, the pursuit of fashion has made many

college students get lost. Some of them even fail to focus on their study. Besides, it

is a costly hobby to follow the tide, which will impose financial stresses on their

parents.

All in all, we should adopt a more reasonable attitude towards the pursuit of

fashion.

Part ⅣReading Comprehension（Reading in Depth）（25 minutes）

Section A

47. K 该空应填入一名词。由前一句和本句提到的“不能只根据学生的智力来给他们分等级。这(智力)只是他们全部……的一部分”，可以判断personality (个性)最符合句意。

48. A 该空所在句子意为“我们关心所有学生的全面发展，而不仅是他们的……能力”。根据上文所述，该处的能力即“intellectual ability”，所以academic (学术的，学院的，仅理论的)是最佳答案。

49. O 根据下文所列举的种种学习活动，这里应填入various (各种各样的)。

50. I 该空应填入一名词。在可选名词中，符合该句句意“给他们……来学习合作”的只有opportunity (机会)。

51. J 该空上下文的意思是“他们学习与别人合作。他们考试&大也学习如何处理……问题”。这样，personal (个人的)最合适。

52. D 该空应填入一不及物动词，而所在短语意思是“(学习)有效地……”。在可选动词中，应用communicate (交流)。

53. F 该空所在句意思是“学生们有时两个一组地学习或是完成的任务和作业”。因前面是“两个一组”，所以与之并列的另一选择只能是individual (单独的，个别的)。

54. B 该空应填入一形容词或分词，而所在句意为“学生们在……的时候也接受正式的课堂教育”，因此在可选词中，appropriate (适当的，合适的)最贴切。

55. H 与前文do their best (竭尽全力)相对应，该空应填入least (最小，最少)一词。

56. C 该空所在句意为“我们鼓励学生们……他们的目标”，只能填入attain (达到，实现)。attain one’s goal/objective/ambition意为实现目的、目标、抱负。

Section B

Passage A

57. A由题干中的the "Partners in Health" system定位到原文首段第四句he created

a community based health care system called Zanmi Lasante, or Partners in Health。原文首段末尾说"它不仅给大量穷人提供适当的可以支付得起的治疗，还越过医疗层面，想要解决让穷人得病或很难康复的社会原因"。由此可推测此医疗系统与传统医院相比的独特之处在于It makes attempts to help the poor on a social level.（它试图在社会层面上帮助穷人），故A为正确答案。

58. C 由题干中的the last sentence of the second paragraph定位到原文第二段末句Or as his Haiti patients aptly put it, medicine without food is like washing one's hands

and drying them in the dirt. 原文第二段强调了一个概念，即"穷人的健康问题其实不是简单的医疗问题，还有人权问题"。药物只能治愈穷人的疾病，没有食物，即没有消灭贫穷就像把手放在灰尘中晾干，手还会脏的，即还是会生病的。据此可以推知，C）Medicine is not a long term cure to their poor health（药物无法使他们长期保持健康）与文意相符，为正确答案。

59. D 由题干中的The disadvantage of Dr. Farmer's book定位到原文第三段首句Unfortunately, Dr. Farmer's powerful message is often weakened by his book's

academic tone. 该句说明"他的强有力的信息通常被他所写的书的学术口吻给减弱了"，言下之意就是口气不够强，故D）"口气不够强，很难引起他人的注意"与文意相符，正确。

60. C 由题干可以定位到原文第四段第三句Though well written, Mr. Kidder’s

book also makes for uncomfortable reading. 原文第四段最后两句说"作者好像一直在寻求描写对象的同意，他非常苦恼地描述了他害怕让Farmer大夫失望的恐惧和用批评的字眼伤害大夫的痛苦以及对大夫的谅解所感到的欣慰"。由此推测，他对大夫的情感使他不能独立地写作。故C）"Mr. Kidder的感情妨碍了他写作的独立性"正确。

61. B 由题干中的from the last paragraph可以定位到末段。原文末段说"这种亲密倒突出了Farmer大夫那令人钦佩而又令人愤怒的性格"。Kidder先生写道，"Farmer不是到这个世界上让任何人感到舒适的"，由此推知，他对社会的种种不平等，特别是"结构型暴力"非常愤怒，因此很可能曾严厉地批评过这个社会，因

此才会"让很多人感到不舒服"，故B）正确。

Passage B

62. D由题干定位到首段首句Television is often viewed as an anti-intellectual

medium. 从原文首段最后一句"她们借助具有大众市场吸引力的电视来测试一个提出已久却没有被证实的假设"可推知，研究人员只不过是利用电视作为宣传他们的测试的媒体。第2段首句说"他们在BBC的节目上公布这个测试"也进一步证明了提到电视只不过是为了引出宣传该测试的媒介。故D）"介绍借以宣传测试的媒介"为正确答案。

63. C 由题干中的The experiment定位到第二段首句They set up their experiment

in October 2007, by publicizing it on a BBC programme called "Human Instincts".

原文第二段一直在叙述试验进行的方式，主要是两件事，一是给图片定1-5的等级，二是选择你最不愿意与之共用牙刷的人。C）"为各种照片评级和进行一个选择"是对文意的概括，为正确答案。

64. D 由题干中的the result of the experiment定位到第三段首句The results

showed that in all 由原文"虱子比马蜂更令人恶心"可以推知D）"马蜂会比虱子让人感觉好些"符合文意。

65. B 由题干中的The results of the experiment make evolutionary sense可以定位到第四段第五句Both of these make evolutionary sense. 联系定位句下文"年轻人比老年人更具有繁殖能力，所以应该更注意他们接触什么和吃些什么。而妇女通常是负有养育孩子的担子，所以也必须为了后代和自身的利益去恶心。"可以推知人们恶心其实都是和后代的安全相联系的。故B）"人们的恶心通常与孩子的安危相联系"为正确答案。

66. C 由题干定位到末段首句The results of the toothbrush study made similar sense.

联系原文可知，牙刷测试的结果也是"为了证明人们认为陌生人更容易携带新的病菌"。下文提到"很明显，英国人对天气预报员比对老板感到亲近"，由此推测C）"公众人物通常比老板更受英国人欢迎"正确。

W: Let's just say you are not the first person coming in asking for those articles.

M: Oh, well, seeing as how I haven't read any of them yet, it doesn't really matter

which one you give me first.

W: I'm afraid I can't give you any of them at the moment. They've all been

checked out.

M: You're joking, all of them?

W: Every month. I've asked professor Grand twice already to bring in additional

copies of the articles, but no sooner do I place them on the shelves than they are gone.

See that girl in the black sweater? She's been waiting for half an hour for those same

articles to be returned.

M: And here's me. I went out of my way to free out the whole afternoon to read.

as junior class treasurer, you are sure to be elected president.

minutes tomorrow morning at seven to outline your plans for the year. Lots of

students will hear you then.

W: I've also arranged for you to give a speech during dinner time tomorrow.

Over a hundred students will be there. And you can answer questions after you finish

Section B

Passage One

Human beings enjoy challenges. Many of them like physical challenges. They

ask themselves questions like these: How fast can I run? How high can I climb? How

deep can I dive? How far can I swim? How long can I hold my breath? How much

can I lift? How high can I jump? Because people enjoy challenges, they like to play

sports and watch other people play sports. They like climbing, running, diving, lifting,

jumping, and so on. Every four years millions of people all over the world enjoy the

international sports competition called the Olympics. There are challenges that are not

physical challenges. There are social and intellectual challenges, too. Leonardo da

Vinci, who lived in Italy during the fifteenth century, enjoyed every possible

challenge. He was an artist and painted the well known picture, the Mona Lisa. He

was an engineer who made plans for a city with roads under the street for traffic. He

was an inventor who invented a device to let people breathe under water. He was a

scientist, and he learned a great deal about human structure.

Another kind of challenge faced the Egyptians between 4,000 and 5,000 years

ago when they decided to build the first pyramid. They used six million tons of rock.

That is enough to build a ten foot wall around all of France. Four hundred thousand

men worked for twenty years to build it.

So, for thousands of years, people accepted challenges. Today we still have many

challenges before us. Medical science faces the challenges of conquering the many

diseases which still attack human beings. Engineers and planners must build new

cities and new kinds of transportation. Scientists must develop new forms of energy.

And many of us are interested in the challenge of space. We live in an age of

challenge.

Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.

26. When people participate in sporting activities, what kind of challenge do they

face?

27. Which belongs to social challenge?

28. How do people react to the category of social challenges?

Passage Two

Today we’ll examine the role that private transportation — namely, the

automobile — plays in city planning.

A number of sociologists blame the automobile for the decline of the downtown

areas of major cities. In the 1950’s and 1960’s the automobile made it possible to

work in the city and yet live in the suburbs many miles away. Shopping patterns

changed; instead of going to downtown stores, people in the suburbs went to large

shopping malls outside the city and closer to the home. Merchants in the city failed,

and their stores closed.

Downtown shopping areas became deserted. In recent years there’s been a rebirth

of the downtown area, as many suburbanites have moved back to the city. They’ve

done this, of course, to avoid highways blocked with commuters from the suburbs.

I’ve chosen this particular city planning problem—our dependence on private

transportation — to discuss in groups. I’m hoping you will all come up with some

novel solutions. Oh, and don’t approach the problem from a purely sociological

perspective; try to take into account environmental and economic issues as well.

Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.

29. How did the automobile affect the work force in the 1950’s and 1960’s?

30. What problem did downtown city merchants face in the 1960’s?

31. According to the speaker, why are some people moving back to the city?

Passage Three

The United States operates under a federal system of government. Under the

federal system, power is divided between the central government and the states. The

central government is given specific powers. These powers are named in the

Constitution. Powers that are not assigned to the central government in the

Constitution belong to the states.

The central government can pass laws that affect trade between states. The

central government can also make treaties with foreign countries. It has the power to

print money. The Constitution gives the central government these powers. These

powers belong to the central government only. However, the states have many powers

that the central government cannot control. For example, a state is allowed to tax

people who live and work in the state. The central government cannot put a limit on

the amount of money that a state taxes its people.

Many people feel that the federal system has many good points. One good point

is that it restrains the power of the central government. The central government cannot

become too powerful. Another good point is that the central government makes sure

that the bigger states don’t become too powerful. Under the Constitution, all states are

treated equally. The laws of the central government do not favor one state over

another.

Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.

32. What does the passage mainly tell us?

33. Which is the power of the states governments?

34. What is stated in the passage?

35. According to the passage, what is a good point about the federal system?

Section C

In many countries, authority is seldom questioned, either because it is highly

respected, or because it is (36) feared . Sometimes, too, because (37) rank has

been important in certain societies for a long time, people have been trained never to

question those in authority.

In other countries, (38) including America, children are trained to question and

search for answers. When a child asks a question, he will be often told to go to the

library and find the answer for himself. By the time students reach the age of 14 or 15,

they may be (39)__developing___ exciting new ideas in all fields of science and the

arts. To encourage such creativity, there are many national (40) prizes offered to

students every year for their scientific discoveries and artistic (41) accomplishments .

This interest in questioning and searching may be (42) considered by some

people as bad for young people’s (43) manners , that young people lack respect for

authority. (44) This impression may be created when visitors notice young

Americans asking questions and arguing with older people . However, this is

because many Americans have different attitudes toward authority that may exist in

other areas of the world. In a work or business situation, ideas are freely and openly

discussed and argued. (45) It is vital to remember that it is the person’s ideas that are

being questioned, not the individual himself . The two are quite separate. The

purpose of the searching, questioning, and arguing is to find the facts in a particular

situation, and therefore a solution, (46) so that the work of the business can progress

in the most effective manner possible .
