II. Grammar and Vocabulary （20分）

Section A

Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage 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.

When I was in junior high school, darkness began filling my mind. I don’t know the day or the reason      21      it began. All I know is that I started feeling hopeless and worthless. I hid in my room,      22      (stare) out of the window, thinking about all my failures. I even questioned      23      being alive was worthwhile. My dark mood wasn’t constant. It would fade at times, but it always returned.

It was my parents that helped me identify the shadow      24      hung over my life — depression. Depression is      25      mental illness that drains your energy and prevents you from enjoying life. It can keep you from succeeding at school or work or from connecting with others. At its      26      (bad), depression can even lead to suicide.

When your mood is dark, how do you know whether you are depressed or just sad? Think about how long the feelings      27      (last). If they have persisted for weeks or months, get help.

No one      28      face depression alone. If you’re depressed, find someone — a friend, parent, teacher or pastor — and tell them your feelings. Consider seeing a doctor or psychologist, if they are getting worse.

When I was depressed, I was      29      (embarrass) to tell anyone. I didn’t want to seem weak or needy. But when I told my friends, they supported and encouraged me.

In fact,       30       depression affects many people worldwide, treatments are available and can bring hope and joy back into their life.

Section B

Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Walking through any high school during the first class in the morning, you may find that many students are     31     to keep their heads up. “They’re sitting in the classroom, but their heads are at home on their pillows,” says Mary Carskadon of Brown Medical School in the US.

Don’t blame yourself; blame the clock in your brain. Two decades of research     32     that your bodies are pushing you to stay up at night and sleep into the morning. During the first several weeks of school, students are more likely to get a(n) lack of sleep. In the holidays, most students can sleep over eight hours a night. But during the school day, students on average sleep only about six hours. Students will lose 10 hours of sleep per week that they never    33    from. The lack of sleep may not only be a drag (拖后) on school     34    , but also be related to poor health.

Scientists in the US led research to try to     35     teenagers’ clocks back to help them fall asleep earlier. They use a special light in the classroom to try to     36     a reset of the students’ biological clock. They found the brain can     37     a chemical that helps sleep. It comes out only in the dark. The research failed at the end. Doctor said that even if the chemical had started     38    , the kids’ homework and other activities meant they stayed up at night.

Some schools have reset their school time from 7:25 to 8:30 a.m. to     39     the students. The results were so encouraging that students who had the hour      40     of sleep performed best in tests. Those who lost the hour did worst of all.

III. Reading Comprehension（45分）

Section A

Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Filling in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

Most of us assume that we go to college in order to be educated, to become    41   , and be    42    to our society when we complete our studies. Of course, this is true, but there is more to it than that. We go to college not only to learn knowledge, but to prepare ourselves for the real world, for college is a    43    in miniature(微型复制品). Thus, it teaches us how to    44    relationships between different kinds of people later. College life provides many    45   , which is a stepping stone in the real world. College education also    46    a student to develop a mind that is able to think clearly and critically.

While we are at college, we should have as    47    contacts with our teachers as possible. They are as human as we are but with a wider    48    of knowledge than we do which can help    49    our secret little problems. Therefore, they can help us in more ways than just teaching us school     50    .

Some of us tend to go to     51    . We are either too fond of studies and become bookworms or too much     52     by off-campus activities. The former kinds of students,     53    , are star pupils at college but not likely to be successful in their career because they lack the knowledge of real human beings and their range of interests is too     54    . The latter, since they lack the basic knowledge of science and humanities, are not likely to succeed, either. Thus we must steer(把握方向) the middle     55     between these two extremes.

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)

All Miss White had been told about the new boy was that he’d spent most of his life in some kind of orphanage, and that the gray-haired “aunt and uncle” with whom he now lived were really foster parents (养父母), paid by the Welfare Department of the City of New York. A less devoted teacher might have pressed for more details, but Miss White was content with the rough outline. It was enough to fill her with a sense of mission that shone from her eyes, from the first morning he joined the fourth grade.

He arrived early and sat in the back row, his backbone very straight, his ankles crossed precisely under the desk and his hands folded on the center of its top, and while the other children were filling in, he received a long, expressionless stare from each of them.

“We have a new classmate this morning,” Miss White said, “His name is Vincent Sabella, and he comes from New York City. I know we’ll all do our best to make him feel at home.”

This time they all swung around to stare at once, which caused him to duck his head slightly and shift his weight from one side to the other. Ordinarily, the fact of someone’s coming from New York might have held a certain status, for to most of the children the city was a frightening, adult place that swallowed up their fathers every day. But anyone could see at a glance that Vincent Sabella had nothing to do with it. Even if you could ignore his twisted black hair and gray skin, his clothes would have given him away: ridiculously new pants, ridiculously old sports shoes and a yellow sweatshirt, much too small, with the faded remains of a Mickey Mouse design stamped on its chest.

The girls decided that he wasn’t very nice and turned away, but the boys remained in their inspection, looking him up and down with faint smiles. This was the kind of kid they were accustomed to thinking of as “tough,” the kind whose stare has made all of them uncomfortable at one time or another in unfamiliar neighborhoods; here was a unique chance for revenge.

56．What can you learn about Miss White and Vincent from the first two paragraphs?

A．Since nobody had ever seen Vincent’s parents, he now lived all by himself.

B．Miss White knew Vincent so well that she’d like to focus every bit of attention on him.

C．Vincent sat in the back row so as to arouse attention caused by his late arrival.

D．Miss White made an attempt to do her part to make Vincent feel welcome.

57．Why does the author mention “New York” in the third and the fourth paragraphs?

A．To state a certain distinction between Vincent and people’s imagination.

B．To demonstrate children’s desire to go to see their fathers.

C．To illustrate Vincent’s distant origin.

D．To emphasize Vincent’s low social status from his shabby clothes.

58．Which of the following words can best describe Vincent?

A．Nervous and uneasy. B．Devoted but shy.

C．Silent and genuine. D．Sensitive but unfortunate.

59．What can you infer from the text about Vincent’s new classmates?

A．They used to consider people like Vincent to be very tough.

B．They were either unconcerned or unfriendly toward him.

C．They barely noticed the new boy sitting in the back of the classroom.

D．They were very curious about the newcomer in a kind and considerate manner.

(B)

If you are coming to Bondi Beach, a suburb of Sydney, try to leave your car at home. Public transport in Sydney is pretty dismal but parking can be even more of a problem at the beach.

Bus Service

All buses from the city start from Circular Quay and the ride to Bondi Beach takes 45 minutes. The bus may be numbered 380 or 333 with the destination showing North Bondi, Dover Heights, Watsons Bay or Bondi Beach. Together this is called “the 380 bus” and all buses go to Bondi Beach.

Other Bus Adventures

Apart from the well-known 380, lots of other bus services wind their way through the back streets. Bus drivers, trying to be helpful, will not suggest any of these routes for fear your trip will take longer or you will become lost. But here are a few worth trying:

The 389 bus runs every 10 minutes all day (20 minutes on Sundays and 30 min after 8pm daily) and goes through the historic back streets of Paddington, following the route of an old trolley car service. You will pass a whole street of coffee shops in East Sydney, past the gates of the DarlinghurstGaol, through streets lined with terrace houses (联排公寓), then on to Bondi Junction. The 389 travels along GlenayrAenue at Bondi Beach which is a long block but a level walk to the beach.

The 400 Bus goes to the University of NSW, The Prince of Wales Hospital, Eastgardens and the Airport. This bus runs every five minutes on weekdays and every 10 minutes on weekends. Service are less frequent after 7pm and finish around 11pm. For shopperholics, the 400 takes you directly to the Eastgardens Shopping Centre. Every 20 minutes a 400 bus continues on to the Domestic and International airport terminals.

The 380 bus to Watsons Bay terminates at North Bondi, but some 380 buses continue on to Watsons Bay, which is a great excursion for tourists. At Watsons Bay there is famous lookout, great views of the harbour and the ocean, a hotel and several cafes, a 30-minute walk to South Head, other bus routes and even a ferry service back to Circular Quay.

60．The underlined word “dismal” is closest to __________ in meaning.

A．available B．efficient C．fundamental D．terrible

62．If you want to enjoy both ocean views and campus scenery, you’d better take __________.

A．the 300 bus B．the 380 bus C．the 389 bus D．the 400 bus

(C)

If you try to explain to someone, without using pictures, how to build the building that you have designed, it would take an enormous amount of writing and might end up with a very funny-looking building. The architect uses pictures called details to show how many hundreds of parts go together to form a complete building. This type of drawing is called drafting and is done by people called draftsmen.

Draftsmen make up the largest group of the architectural offices’ work force. Because of the wide range of duties they perform, draftsmen are sometimes called architectural technicians. In a typical office, there are not only career draftsmen but also architectural graduates working as junior draftsmen to learn the trade. Career draftsmen are usually graduates from a two-year junior college called technical school. There was a time when architectural office used young people right out of high school as tracers. Their job was to trace over the other people’s details while learning to be a draftsman. This is no longer possible with the fast-pace of architects’ offices today although a junior draftsman is given guides by the more experienced employees.

So a good comprehensive architectural drafting course is a must before anyone seeks a job with an architectural firm. The job of the draftsmen is to translate the ideas and directions of architects, designers and engineers into complete and accurate working drawings. These become the plans and details used in the actual construction of a building. The project must be shown in great detail and drawn very clearly, so there is no chance for misunderstanding by the contractors(承包商). Every line and figure has an effect on the finished product.

As you can see, the draftsman is a key member of the architectural team. Of course, a junior draftsman is not expected to produce a complete set of working drawings. Depending on the size of the office and difficulty of the project, draftsmen may work in groups. The group leader coordinates the group and works closely with the project architect while the drawings are being produced.

Working conditions are mostly very pleasant as draftsmen’s work is intense and many people depend on accurate work. Each draftsman has a large combination drawing board and desk with various drawing aids. Almost without exception, members of the architectural team have at one time in their careers worked as draftsmen. This is essential to an architect education and most architects never get very far away from the drafting board.

63．According to the passage, career draftsmen are usually ______.

A．experienced architects B．architectural designers

C．high school graduates D．graduates of technical schools

64．We can learn from the passage that “working drawings” refers to ______.

A．the architect’s rough drawings and directions

B．the ideas and directions for the project

C．the plans and details for the actual construction

D．the designer’s handbooks, tables and building codes

65．What can we learn about draftsmen from the passage?

A．They all work in groups with a project architect.

B．They are the main members of the architectural team.

C．They provide labor and building materials.

D．They give guides to inexperienced architects.

66．What is most essential for draftsmen’s work according to the author?

A．An architect education. B．The spirit of team work.

C．Accuracy in the drawings. D．Advanced drawing aids.

Section C

Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

Last week, we reported about community colleges in the United States. Some educators say these two-year colleges may be a good choice for international students who have finished secondary school and want to study in America.

Today, we tell about program at some American community colleges for students from several nations.    67    it lasts one year. It is for students from areas underserved in education and skills training.

Since 2007, about 2,100 students from sixty nations have taken part in the program. The Bureau of Educational Affairs of the United States State Department provides for their needs. Three consortia or organizations of community colleges administer the program with the Bureau of Educational Affairs. Schools across the country take part.

Syedur Rahman is project director of the Community College Consortium led by Northern Virginia Community College. He says United States community colleges offer possibilities for foreign students whose governments can not do so. He says many students in poor, rural areas do not have an equal chance to succeed.    68   .

At the start of their stay in America, students deepen their knowledge of English, and learn about their school's surroundings. They have several fields of study to choose from, including Information Technology, Business Administration and Agriculture. Other areas open to them include the Hotel and Visitors Industries, Media and Journalism, Engineering and Health.   69   . But they also are active in other school activities. They hold internships at businesses and nonprofit organizations. Program members at Muscatine Community College in Iowa are a good example. They can complete internships at businesses from local farms to large companies.

Students also give presentations about their countries to other students, and to local communities.    70   . At Miami Dade College in Florida this year, Community College Initiative Program students took part in the Martin Luther King Jr. Day of National Service.
