Chinese conservation efforts, including forest protection and reforestation, are considered to be the ____33____ force behind the animal’s re-prosperity. The number of panda ____34____ in China has also jumped to 67, from 13 in 1992. Nearly two-thirds of all wild pandas live there. Restoring the panda’s habitat has given them back their space with food available to them.

A part from giant pandas, the Tibetan Antelope has also moved from “endangered” to “near threatened”. According to a statement from IUCN, the animals numbers have shrunk severely- dropping from around I million to a(n)___35___65,000-72,500 in the 1980s and early 1990s-due to commercial poaching(偷猎). Rigorous protection has since been ___36___ to protect the beasts and the population is now likely to be between 100,000 and 150,000.

Despite the improved __37__ wild animals like the giant panda and the Tibetan Antelope still face great challenges. The IUCN warned, for example, that ongoing threats from climate change could eliminate more than 35 percent of the panda’s bamboo habitat in the next 80 years, which

would ____38____ the species recent gains.

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.

How to help your kids find a purpose? You don’t have to start with the really big questions. “Quick, what’s the meaning of life?” Many of us may not be able to answer that, but that doesn’t ___41___ our kids don’t have questions or need answers.

“The sense that your personal life is ___42___ to you is a basis of psychological well-being,” says Michael F. Steger, director of the laboratory for Meaning and Quality of Life at Colorado State University. Not only that, it is tightly tied to being happier, more positive, more ___43___, more caring, more helpful, more resilient(坚韧), and more satisfied in your life, relationships, and work.

But helping your kids find meaning doesn’t mean parents have to ___44___ all life’s ancient mysteries, Steger says. The ___45___ is to understand the difference between the meaning of life and the meaning in life.

“We do not have to start with the biggest and most troubling questions about our lives,” Steger says. “We can start with trying to ___46___ how, today, right now, we are going to do one thing that makes the story of our lives more positive, or makes a positive difference to someone else.”

With kids in ___47___school, Steger says, “At the most basic level, our best hopes for our children are that they feel their lives matter and that they ___48___.” To start conversations along those lines, says Steger. “You can ask questions about what they think their best ___49___ or strengths are, whether they have good relationships with other people, whether they care about others. You can ask them about times when they have made a difference, made someone feel better, felt __50__ for doing something, or helped someone out. All of these kinds of questions can start a conversation about your kid’s ___51___way of being in and contributing to the world.”

In middle school, says Steger, “Kids are being exposed to ideas, behaviors, assumptions, and priorities that might be ___52___ different from the ones they have always assumed were rue.” So for kids this age, parents can start conversations focusing on how your children’s sense of who they are, how they related to others and what life is has been___53___.

By high school, according to Steger, “We hope our children see how much their lives matter, see that they are at the beginning of an exciting and strengthening life story, and have some slight ideas about ___54___.” But the question of what you want to do with your life is too big for a

single conversation, says Steger. Instead, he encourages parents to have ___55___, smaller conversations with their kids about how they view themselves and their lives, and what kind of impact they would like to make.

41. A. intend B. mean C. remain D. hope 42. A. significant B. decisive C. meaningful D. useful 43. A. confident B. cautious C. intelligent D. special 44.

Section B

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage in 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 read.

(A)

Researchers have developed a method to activate electronic implants in the body and eliminate bacterial infections using a wireless signal. When triggered by remote technology, the device delivers hear to infected tissue. And it could lead to technologies that enable drugs and treatment to be delivered to patients at the press of a button.

The technology was developed by researchers at Tufts University in Massachusetts and the University of Illinois. Mice were given electronic implants that, when a signal was sent, heated up to treat tissue that was infected with staphylococcus, which can cause life-threatening infections of the blood. Tissues collected from the mice 24 hours after treatment showed no sign of the infection, while the device dissolved in 15 days, proving it can not only treat infections but also be disposed of easily.

The research, which also eliminated E. coli bacteria, was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Each device, made of silk and magnesium (镁元素), harmlessly dissolved in the animals after the tests. The heating device in the implants has a resistor and power-receiving coil made of magnesium, and the magnesium is wrapped in 'packet' of silk, keeping it safe and controlling its dissolution time. The ability of the device to dissolve is important, as it means such implants would not need to be removed. Implantable medical devices normally use non-degradable materials that have limited operational lifetimes and must eventually

be removed or replaced. But these new wireless therapy devices can handle the surgical process, and can then dissolve in minutes or weeks, depending on the time needed.

\"This is an important demonstration step forward for the development of on-demand medical devices that can be turned on remotely to perform a therapeutic function in a patient and then safely disappear after their use, requiring no retrieval,\" said senior author Fiorenzo Omenetto, professor of biomedical engineering at Tufts School of Engineering. \"These wireless strategies could help manage post-surgical infection, for example, or pave the way for eventual Wi-Fi drug delivery.\"

56. What is special function about the new discovery?

A. It can favourably be used while-treatment stage of a disease. B. The device has offered drugs at the press of a button.

C. Implantable devices often use materials that have limited operational lifetimes. D. The implant can be controlled to treat infection and will dissolve later in the body. 57. Staphylococcus is most probably _______________. A. a virus which can cost a person his life

B. a therapy which can make a person’s life longer C. a device which can cure a person’s disease

D. a process which can lead to the infection of a virus 58. We can infer from the passage that _______________. A. Wi-Fi promises a new way of treatment B. research brings about new discoveries C. technology offers new opportunities D. medicine requires persistent efforts

(B)

Prices determine how resources are to be used. They are also the means by which products and services that are in limited supply are shared among buyers. The price system of the United States is a very complex network composed of the prices of all the products bought and sold in the economy as well as those of a myriad(无数) of services, including labor, professional, transportation, and public-utility services. The interrelationship of all those prices makes up the “system” of prices. The price of any particular product or service is linked to a broad, complicated system of prices in which everything seems to depend more or less upon everything else.

If one were to ask a group of arbitrarily individuals to define “price”, many would reply that price is an amount of money paid by the buyer to the seller of a product or service or, in other words, that price is the money values of a product or service as agreed upon in a market transaction (交易). This definition is, of course, valid as far as it goes. For a complete understanding of a price in any particular transaction, much more than the amount of money involved must be known. Both the buyer and the seller should be familiar with not only the money amount but the amount and quality of the product or service to be exchanged, the time and place at which the exchange will take place and payment will be made, the form of money to be used, and the credit terms and discounts that supply to the transaction, guarantees on the product or service, delivery terms, return privileges, and other factors. In other words, both buyer and seller should be fully aware of all the factors that comprise the total “package” being exchanged for the asked-for

amount of money in order that they may evaluate a given price.

59. According to the passage, the price system is related primarily to _________________. A. labor and education B. transportation and insurance C. utilities and repairs D. products and services

60. All the following are the factors in the complete understanding of price except ___________. A. instructions that come with a product B. the quantity of a product C. the quality of a product D. guarantees that cover a product 61. In the last line of the passage, the word “they” refers to _________________. A. return privileges B. guarantees on the product or service C. buyer and seller D. delivery and credit terms

62. The paragraph following this passage will most likely discuss____________________. A. unusual ways to evaluate prices of products B. types of payment plans for product and service

C. theories about how products affect different levels of society

D. how certain elements of price “package” influence its market value

(C)

There will eventually come a day when the New York Times ceases to publish stories on newsprint. Exactly when that day will be is a matter of debate. “Sometime in the future,” the paper’s publisher said back in 2010.

Nostalgia (怀旧) for ink on paper, there are plenty of reasons to abandon print. The infrastructure (基础设施) required to make a physical newspaper-printing presses, delivery trucks— isn’t just expensive; it’s excessive at a time when online-only competitors don’t have the same set of financial constraints. Readers are migrating away from print anyway. And though print ad sales still dwarf their online and mobile counterparts, revenue (收入) from print is still declining.

Cost may be high and circulation lower, but rushing to eliminate its print edition would be a mistake, says BuzzFeed CEO Jonah Peretti.

Peretti says the Times shouldn’t waste time getting out of the print business, but only if they go about doing it the right way. “Figuring out a way to accelerate that transition would make sense for them,” he said, “but if you discontinue it, you’re going to have your most loyal customers really upset with you.”

Sometimes that’s worth making a change anyway. Peretti gives the example of Netflix discontinuing its DVD-mailing service to focus on streaming (流媒体). “It was seen as a mistake,” he said. The move turned out to be foresighted. “If I were in charge at the Times, I wouldn’t pick a year to end print,” Peretti said. “I would raise prices and make it into more of a legacy product.” The most loyal customers would still get the product they favor, the idea goes, and they’d feel like they were helping sustain the quality of something they believe in. “So if you’re overpaying for print, you could feel like you were helping,” Peretti said. “Then increase it at a higher rate each year and essentially try to generate additional revenue.” In other words, if you’re going to make a print product, make it for the people who are already obsessed with it, which may be what the Times is doing already. Getting the print edition seven days a week costs nearly $500 a year—more than twice as much as a digital-only subscription.

“It’s a really hard thing to do and it’s a tremendous luxury that BuzzFeed doesn’t have a

legacy business,” Peretti remarked. “But we’re going to have questions like that where we have things we’re doing that don’t make sense when the market changes and the world changes. In those situations, it’s better to be more aggressive than less aggressive.”

63. The New York Times is considering ending its print edition partly due to ____________. A. the high cost of operation. B. the pressure from its investors. C. the complaints from its readers. D. the increasing online ad sales.

. Peretti suggests that in face of the present situation the Times should _____________. A. seek new sources of readership B. end the print edition for good C. aim for efficient management D. make strategic adjustments 65. Peretti believes that, in a changing world _________________. A. legacy businesses are becoming outdated. B. cautiousness helps problem-solving. C. traditional luxuries can stay unaffected. D. aggressiveness better meets challenges. 66. Which of the following would be the best title of the text? A. Shift to Online Newspapers All at Once B. Cherish the Newspaper Still in Your Hand C. Make Your Print Newspaper a Luxury Good D. Keep Your Newspapers Forever in Fashion

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 one. Note that there are two mare sentences than you need. A. Parental involvement makes up for what schools are not able to do. B. They have a wide range of activities after school. C. Talking with children is a very simple task. D. A number of recent studies remind us that parents are even more important than schools. E. Engaging in these sorts of conversations has greater impact on educational accomplishment. F. Recent research has indicated exactly what kinds of talk at home encourage children’s success at school It is found that American students spend less than 15% of their time in school. 67 ________. A study published earlier this month by researchers at North Carolina State University, for example, finds that parental involvement — checking homework, attending school meetings and events, discussing school activities at home — has a more powerful influence on students’ academic performance than anything about the school the students attend. Another study, published in the Review of Economics and Statistics, reports that the effort put forth by parents reading stories aloud, is devoted by either teachers or the students themselves. And a third study concludes that schools would have to increase their spending by more than $1,000 per pupil in order to achieve the same results that are gained with parental involvement.

68__________. But it is also revealed in researches that parents, of all backgrounds, don’t need to buy expensive educational toys or digital devices for their kids in order to give them an advantage. They don’t need to drive their offspring to enrichment classes or test-preparation courses. What they need to do with their children is much simpler: talk.

But not just any talk. 69___________. For example, a study conducted by researchers at the UCLA School of Public Health and published in the journal Pediatrics found that two-way

adult-child conversations were six times as powerful in promoting language development as the ones in which the adult did all the talking. Engaging in this reciprocal (双向的) back-and-forth gives children a chance to try out language for themselves, and also gives them the sense that their thoughts and opinions matter.

The content of parents’ conversations with kids matters, too. Children who hear talk about counting and numbers at home start school with much more extensive mathematical knowledge, report researchers from the University of Chicago. While the conversations parents have with their children change as kids grow older, the effect of these exchanges on academic achievement remains strong. Research finds that parents play an important role in what is called “academic socialization” — setting expectations and making connections between current behavior and future goals. 70_______________.

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.

Now another American education icon may be disappearing: the hardbound textbook. More and more school districts are replacing traditional textbooks with electronic ones. Electronic textbooks are usually accessed either through an online server or are downloaded to student laptops.

In North Texas, Plano and lrving schools are introducing e-books into a few classrooms, and Lancaster school officials also are considering them. But no local district appears to be going as far as Forney. The district most likely would be the first in the state to use e-book in every classroom for grades five to twelve.

Officials point out several reasons for turning to e-books. For one, they are easier to update. Thus the publishers are able to find ways to do online textbooks and they can go back and change information. Using e-books will better prepare students for college and the workplace.

Rapid district growth is another reason. The number of the students in the district is expected to double within five years. It’s difficult to know textbook needs in advance and students wait months for their books. But e-books can be uploaded onto a “blank” laptop in a few hours.

Cost may eventually be a deciding cause for choosing e-books, but there are no big savings yet. Even if they get it electronically, they still have to pay for the book because they’re buying the instructional material. That may change as-more and more districts move toward e-books.

Today’s students have little trouble adjusting to laptops and e-books, said Connie Cooley, who has taught at the Academy of lrving ISD for five years. But she said it could worry teachers.

“It’s harder for people who are right around mu age and order,” said Ms. Cooley, 36. “I’m laptop-savvv, so I was ready for it, but those that aren’t are a little worrying.

Summary:

Electronic books may substitute for traditional nooks in American schools. The advantages are as follows. They can be updated easily. Districts grow rapidly and E-books can provide more books for more students in time. (More books are needed in time because of rapid district growth.) Third, the cost may be lower in the future. E-books are OK to students, but they are a problem for old teachers.
