II. Grammar and Vocabulary

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.

In a bid to control the nation's growing problem with food wastage, the South Korean

government has started a unique initiative -"Pay as You Trash". As of now, the South Korean

government has three methods (21) _____ place to charge citizens for the food thrown away. One is through a RFI card. When users tap this card over a specially designed food waste bin, the lid(盖子) will open, allowing them to dump their waste. The waste (22) _____ (weigh) automatically and a bill is recorded in the user's account which the user needs to settle on a monthly basis. Each RFI bin costs $1 ,500 and (23) _____ serve 60 households.

The second billing method is through pre-paid garbage bags. These specially designed bags are priced based on volume. There's also an electronic management system, (24) _____ residents put food waste directly into the bin and pay for it by purchasing a special tag (25) _____ (attach) to the bin.

Every household in South Korea is subject to one of these payment systems. (26) _____ the new payment method affects you depends totally on how much food you throw away. Whatever system you use, you are sure to feel the pain of food waste. The more food you throw out, the more you end up (27) _____ (pay).

And it's working. Residents like Seoul housewife Ms. Kwan have found it necessary to adopt innovative methods to avoid food waste. She picks (28) _____ wet out of leftover food before throwing it away. She also separates fresh produce and other food items into (29) _____(small) portions so that only the required amount is used up per meal. “(30) _____ the fees can be reduced, I'm willing to adopt any innovative method to avoid food waste," she said.

Section B

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

The party may actually be the last stronghold of the dress code, a tradition that is increasingly falling out of 31______ everywhere, from the workplace to the school. As the power of choice 32______ away from the institution and toward the individual, the idea of any establishment deciding what is and is not appropriate dress, when dress is so deeply mixed with personal identity, seems increasingly 33______.

So why do so many hosts think a dress code is a good idea?

On the one hand, it does help reduce guests' confusion and insecurity about what to wear to a special event. And it can help give a party a festive 34______ There's something very fun about fancy dresses of a theme. Also, if there are photos involved, a certain 35______ in dress can create a clear visual effect for the photos.

On the other hand, if the dress code is too unspecific, it only adds to the general what-to-wear confusion, with “dress to impress" being a case in point. Sometimes it involves dresses that seem 36______ to an individual's sense of style. Either way, you will feel 37______ between pleasing your host and pleasing yourself.

When I asked the designer Ulla Johnson about the issue, she admitted that she demanded a dress code at her wedding: everyone in white. But she also said she wasn't 38______ at all when some guests asked to be an exception to the rule.

“At this point, I would say dress codes can be 39______ interpreted," she said. “Putting on

something you don't love because it obeys a code should be off the table."

In other words, a party dress code is not the same as a school uniform. It can be 40______ to fit each individual. Honey Dijon, the D.J. and musician, likewise believes that open interpretations of dress codes are generally expected, though she has her own solution to the dress code issue.

“Choose something that is related to the theme, such as a shoe or a bag." she said. "That way, the host is satisfied and you still feel confident."

III. Reading Comprehension

Section A

Directions: For each blank in the following passage 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.

According to a Gallup World Poll, 1.1 billion people want to move temporarily to another country in the hope of finding more profitable jobs. An additional 630 million people would like to move abroad permanently.

The global desire to leave home arises from poverty and necessity, but it also grows out of a belief that such mobility is possible. People who hold fast to this universal 41______ assume that individuals can and should be feel at home anywhere in the world and that they need not be 42______ to any particular place. This view was once regarded as a negative product of the industrialization but is now accepted as central to a(n) 43______ economy.

It leads to opportunity and profits, but it also has high 44______ costs. According to a long research into the emotions and experiences of immigrants(移民) and migrants, many people who leave home in search of better prospects can't avoid feeling 45______ although few speak openly of the substantial pain of leaving home.

Such tolerance of emotional suffering became common among mobile Americans in the 20th century, and represented a(n) 46______ from the past. In the 19th century, Americans of all groups, pioneers, soldiers and the millions of immigrants who streamed into the nation, loudly complained that moving was emotionally 47______. Medical journals explored the condition, often referring to it by its clinical name: nostalgia(思乡).

Today, discussions of nostalgia are rare, for the emotion is typically regarded by individuals as an embarrassing block to progress and prosperity. The 48______ makes mobility appear misleadingly easy.

Technology also tricks us into thinking that mobility is 49______. The comforting vision of 50______ offered by technology makes moving seem less consequential, since “one is always just a mouse click or a phone call away".

But such a claim was 51______ optimistic, for homesickness continued to hurt many who migrated. The 52______ that phone calls and the Internet provide means that those away from home can know exactly what they are missing the exact moment and how it is happening. It gives the impression that one can be in two places at once but it also highlights the 53______ of that assumption.

The persistence of homesickness points to the limitations of the universal philosophy that strengthens so much of our market and society. The idea that we can and should feel at home any place on the globe is based on a worldview that celebrates the independent, mobile individual and takes it for granted that men and women are easily separated from family, from home and from the past. But this view isn't 54______ our emotions, for our attachment to home, although often 55______, is strong and enduring.

41. A. subject   B. wealth    C. vision    D. exchange

42. A. transferred  B. tied    C. reduced   D. bridged

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)

I still had a few minutes, so I swung into the cafeteria to grab a coffee. That's when I spotted him: a threatening-looking punk rocker with biker leathers and black leather boots.

Honestly, his look scared me, so I quickly went out trying to avoid a potential encounter. It was 1988, and I was a “mature" journalism student, heading to my favorite elective: Sociology-Study of Deviance. Our gray-haired professor was a straight shooter. He usually brought in guest speakers who represented “deviance". Our guest speakers included an outlandish dancer, a tarot-card reader or even an alcohol addict. And when I was curious that day to see who this session's speaker was, “Mr. punk rocker” walked in.

He started to talk in a soft voice and told us he was a university student, who lived with his grandma who needed help in every aspect. Therefore, he moved in with her and helped with the cooking and shopping, cleaning and laundry. He made sure she took her meds and tried to make her laugh at least once a day. He described it as a “win-win" for both of them, but I suspected that it was a lot tougher than he made it sound.

And then he said: “I just figure it's normal for you to feel negative about me because of the way I look. But isn't that the reason for the existence of such a course named Study of Deviance?"

Wow. Just wow.

“It's hair and clothing," he said. “I don't plan to look this way forever, but for now 1 like it, and do you think it makes me deviant?"

Every so often, 1 think about that young man. He'd be about fifty now and couldn't realize how he influenced me. Because of his visit that day, my kids were allowed to wear whatever they wanted, as long as it was relatively clean and not morally abusive. They are upright and kind kids although they sometimes surprise us with red hair or strange trousers. And I am also happy that I do my selective of Sociology-Study of Deviance well.

56. The underlined word deviance in the passage is closest in meaning to _______.

A. dressing.

B. style

C. abnormality

D. maturity

57. According to the passage, which of the following statements about the guest speaker is TRUE?

A. He was dressed in a frightening way on purpose in order to surprise the students.

B. He recognized the author and tried to tutor her during the session.

C. He wasn't aware that many people misjudged him.

D. His behaviors didn't match the appearance he presented.

58. Why does the author think she does the course well?

A. Because she has learned to enjoy varied fashion styles.

B. Because she didn't miss any of the course sessions.

C. Because she knows appearance doesn't equal one's quality.

D. Because she understands how to educate her kids.

(B)

As Christmas approached, the price of turkey went wild. It didn't rocket, as some might suggest. Nor did it crash. It just started waving. We live in the age of the variable prices. In the eyes of sellers, the right price- -the one that will draw the most profit from consumers' wallets- -has become the focus of huge experiments. These sorts of price experiments have become a routine part of finding that right price.

It may come as a surprise that, in buying a pie, you might be participating in a carefully designed social-science experiment. But this is what online comparison shopping has brought. Simply put, the convenience to know the price of anything, anytime, anywhere, has given us, the consumers, so much power that sellers- in a desperate effort to regain the upper hand, or at least avoid extinction- are now staring back through the screen. They are trying to “comparison shopping" us.

They have enough means to do so: the huge data tracks you leave behind whenever you place something in your online shopping cart with top data scientists capable of turning the information into useful price strategies, and what one tech economist calls “the ability to experiment on a scale that's unimaginable in the history of economics."

In result, not coincidentally, normal pricing practices- -an advertised discount off the “list

price," two for the price of one, or simply “everyday low prices" are giving way to far more crazy strategies.

“In the internet era, I don't think anyone could have predicted how complicated these strategies have become," says Robert Dolan, a professor at Harvard. The price of a can of soda in a vending machine can now vary with the temperature outside. The price of the headphones may depend on how budget-conscious your web history shows you to be. The price may even be affected by the price of the mobile phone you use for item search. For shoppers, that means price- not the one offered to you right now, but the one offered to you 20 minutes from now, or the one offered to me, or to your neighbor- may become an increasingly unknowable thing. “There used to be one price for something," Dolan notes. Now the true price of pumpkin-pie spice is subject to a level of uncertainty.

63. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. When holidays come, prices are usually increased.

B. The right price to sellers is the one to bring biggest profits.

C. The right price is fixed although it's hard to find it.

D. To buy a pie, customers have to become an expert in economy.

64. Sellers stare back through the screen in order to.

A. reflect on the effect of the internet

B. analyze customers' online buying history for price strategy

C. double check the existence of the purchase

D. find out online where the lowest prices are

65. In internet age, what element is NOT likely to affect the price of an item?

A. The instant mood of the buyer at the time of purchase.

B. The necessity level of the item at the time of purchase.

C. The extent to which the buyer is sensitive to the price.

D. The price of the facility the buyer uses to look for the item.

Section C

Directions: Read the following passage. 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.

Recently, there's been a lot of talk in U.S. about the “data problem." It ought to give the “data-driven" school reformers pause to reconsider. Maybe we are just creating a bubble that too will burst if we continue to base our actions on the belief that only scores on standardized instruments are evidence of success.

67______ Margo, a famous commenter, states that at least tests are more “reliable" than

professional judgment. How can she tell? We want a nation of citizens who are less ready to think that the “truth" can only be captured in one of four answers- a, b, c, ord. 68______ But how can the general trend guarantee the reliability of the score of one particular test-taker? Some educator dares to replace these tests with professional human judgments, which must still rest on a numerical rank order based on a, b, c and d. The big problem is that there is often no technical assurance for the reliability of such exams. No wonder many big-name psychologists avoid them.

AIl “reliability" tells us is that the student would get a similar score on a similar test if given at another time or place. But all scores on old or new tests have measurement errors. Like Wall Street's numbers, we have no independent basis for relying on these scores. Likewise, validity is in the eye of a certain standard of judgments. How ridiculous it is to say for sure that these judgments are justified!

When some parents told me that their children seemed to read well, but scored poorly, they often believed the indirect evidence, test score, and not the direct evidence, listening to their children read. Some parents had been trained to distrust judgment and rely on “real evidence". My own 8-year- old son also used to “fail" a 3rd grade reading test even though I "knew" he could read fluently. 69______

We need schools that “train" our judgment, which help us become adults who are in the habit of bringing judgment to bear on complex phenomenon. 70______ It also involves acknowledging that even experts must live with a substantial degree of uncertainty. Only in this way, can we, to some extent, rely on the results of the school education in the U.S.

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 music in you

Any party goer can tap her heel to an unfamiliar song without realizing it. Yet when asked on site, she might reply: “Music? I don't know anything about that."

Maybe you' ve heard a variation on this theme: “I don't have a musical bone in my body." Most of us make music publicly just a few times a year, when it's someone's birthday and the cake comes out. Privately, it's a different story. We belt out tunes in the shower and create rhythm tracks on our steering wheel. But when we think about musical expertise, we tend to imagine professionals who specialize in performance, people we'd pay to hear. As for the rest of us, our bumbling private efforts, rather than illustrating that we share an irresistible urge to make music, seem only to demonstrate that we don't enjoy essential musical capacity.

But the more psychologists investigate musicality, the more it seems that nearly all of us are musical experts, in quite a surprising sense. A lot of the most interesting and substantial elements of musicality are things that we all share. We aren't talking about instinctive, inborn universals here. Our musical knowledge is the product of long experience; maybe not years spent over an instrument, but a lifetime spent absorbing music from the open window of every passing car.

In fact, for all its remarkable power, music is in good company. Many of our feelings are governed by a similar rule. We don't know how we come to like certain food more than others. We don't know why we fall in love. Yet in the very act of making these choices we reveal the effects of a host of instinctive mental processes. The fact that we respond to music so naturally and normally actually speaks to its strength and universality.

We respond to songs unconsciously but think we lack music skills. We produce music rarely in public but practice music a lot privately, which mislead us to believe we are not capable of music. Actually, we all have music capability through long daily music exposure. Like other feelings, our intuitive response to music shows its power and prevalence.
