Section A
Directions:In this section, there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements,
each with four suggested answers A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and mark
your answer on the Answer Sheet
Passage One
Five or six years ago, I attended a lecture on the science of attention. A philosopher who
conducts research in the medical school was talking about attention blindness, the basic feature of
the human brain that, when we concentrate intensely on one task, causes us to miss just about
everything else. Because we can’t see what we can’t see, our lecturer was determined to catch us
in the act. He had us watch a video of six people tossing basketballs back and forth, three in white
shirts and three in black, and our task was to keep track only of the tosses among the people in
white. The tape rolled, and everyone began counting.
Everyone except me, I’m dyslexic (有阅读障碍的），and the moment I saw that grainy tape
with the confusing basketball tossers, I knew I wouldn’t be able to keep track of their movements,
so I let my mind wander. My curiosity was aroused, though, when about 30 seconds into the tape,
a gorilla (大猩猩)came in among the players. She (we later learned a female student was in the
gorilla suit) stared at the camera, thumped her chest, and then strode away while they continued
passing the balls.
When the tape stopped, the philosopher asked how many people had counted at least a dozen
basketball tosses. Hands went up all over. He then asked who had counted 13, 14, and
congratulated those who’d scored the perfect 15, Then he asked, “And who saw the gorilla?
I raised my hand and was surprised to discover I was the only person at my table and one of
only three or four in the large room to do so. He'd set us up，trapping us in our own attention
blindness. Yes, there had been a trick, but he wasn’t the one who had played it on us. By
concentrating so hard on counting, we had managed to miss the gorilla in the midst.
21. This passage describes_______.
A. a basketball match B. an experiment
C. a philosopher D. a gorilla
22. “Attention blindness” refers to _______.
A. the fact that one can’t see what one can’t see
B. seeing one thing while missing all else
C. keeping track of just about everything
D. the condition of being blind to details
23. “Catch us in the act” (Para. 1) is closest in meaning to “find us_______.A. doing something improper
”
B. sleeping during the lecture
C. counting the basketball losses
D. failing to notice something within sight
24. How many people in the room saw the gorilla in the video?
A. 1. B. 3 or 4.
C. 13 or 14. D. 15.
25. Whom does “he” (last paragraph) refer to?
A. The author. B. The gorilla.
C. The lecturer. D. The student.
Passage Two
There are few sadder sights than a pile of fan letters, lovingly decorated with hand drawings，
suffering in a bin. The sparkly envelopes were addressed to Taylor Swift, a pop star much beloved
by teenage and pre-teen girls.
“Dear Taylor,read one discarded message, “I ” love you so much!! You’re the best!! And
you're really beautiful and cute!! I’m really enjoying your songs,”
This, along with hundreds of other similar letters sent from around the world, was discovered in
a Nashville recycling disposal unit by a local woman. Swifts management was quick to reassure
her admirer that they had been thrown out accidentally. The response may come as a
disappointment to any devotee who imagines, as they compose their letters, that Swift makes time
lo view each one personally.
Dealing with piles of fan mail is, however, an administrative burden for most celebrities.
While some celebrities do like to go through their mail personally, the majority simply do not
have time. But the fate of their correspondence is something most committed fans will not wish, to
dwell on, says Lynn Zubernis，an expert in the psychology of fandom at West Chester University.
“There’s this little bit of every fan that thinks theirs will be the one that stands outit's not
an expectation, but a hope that theirs will be seen by the celebrity.”
While the relationship between the fan and the celebrity may exist only in the mind of the
former, it stems from a deeply-rooted human need for community and belonging, Zubernis
believes. As a result, even receiving a mass-produced letter of acknowledgement and a photo
stamped with a reproduced signature can be a powerful experience.
“People have a tremendous need to connect with the person they are idolizing (偶像化),” she says. “They can’t ring them up and say,
’Can we have coffee?
’ It’s not about the autograph (签
名) ,It’s about the moment of connection.”
26. Which of the following statements is true?
A. The letters in the bin were exaggerating.
B. Some letters to Swift were thrown away unread.
C. A woman discovered the letters and discarded them.
D. Poorly decorated letters were left unread.
27. Swift’s management claimed that_______.
A. Swift had read each one of the letters
B. fans could trust them with their letters
C. they were quick in response to the incident
D. they didn’t intend to throw away the letters
28. Most celebrities_______
A. are too busy to read fan mail
B. are afraid of receiving fan mail
C. try their best to read fan mail themselves
D. care about the fate of fan mail
29. According to Zubernis, fans want their letters to be read because they _______.
A. hope to show their hand drawings
B. want the celebrities to see their talent
C. desire to get connected with the stars
D. dream of getting a photo of the stars
30. Which of the following will fans cherish the most?
A. The feeling of being related to their stars.
B. The sense of being similar to their stars.
C. The time spent with their stars.
D. The autograph of their stars.
Passage Three
Facelift (紧肤术）followed by a week on a beach in Thailand? Hip surgery with a side of
shopping in Singapore? Over the last 10 years, Asia’s rise on the medical tourism scene has been
quick. Eastern nations dominate the global scene. Now Bali wants a slice of the action.
The Indonesian island recently opened its first facility specifically targeting medical tourists
with packages and services, Bali International Medical Centre (BIMC) Nusa Dua. BIMC already
has an international hospital in Kuta, which opened in 1998.
The new internationally managed facility offers surgical and non-surgical cosmetic
procedures and dental care.
Unlike most of the region假村）than a medical facility.

The 50-bed hospital has a 24-hour medical emergency entrance and hotel-like lobby at the
front of the building servicing the hospital’ntal centers.s medical, and de
If you’re a celebrity who doesn’t want everyone to know you’re here for a bit of lipo (吸脂
术），no worries. There's a private entrance that leads to the CosMedic Centro, which offers views
of a golf course.
BIMC has even teamed up with the nearby Courtyard by Marriott Bali, which provides
specific after-care services like tailor-made meals and wellness programs for patients.
Latest technology and cool interiors are a start, but breaking into a regional industry that
already has some of the world top international hospitals will be tough, says Josef Woodman, ’ｓ
CEO of U.S.-based medical travel consumer guide Patients Beyond Borders (PBB).
“As a newcomer, Bali faces stiff competition from nearby international healthcare providers.
To compete，Bali will need to demonstrate a quality level of care and promote its services to the
region and the world. On the positive side, Bali is blessed as one of the region's safest，most
popular tourist destinations, with a built-in potential to attract medical travelers.”
The Indonesian island couldn’have picked t a better time to get into the game, says PBB.
“The world population is aging and becoming wealthier at rates that surpass the availability of
quality healthcare resources,” says the company's research.
31. What does \"medical tourism” (Para. 1) probably mean?
A. Treating a disease during a trip.
B. Attracting patients with package tours.
C. Cosmetic treatment and a tour in one：
D. Turning hospitals into tourist attractions.
32. How does BIMC differ from regular hospitals?
A. It offers cosmetic surgery.
B. It has better environment and services.
C. It accepts international patients.
D. It has more beds and longer service hours.
33. BIMC wishes to attract celebrities with its_______.
A. privacy measures B. first-class design
C. free golf course D. tailor-made meals
34. According to Woodman, BIMC_______.
A. threatens its regional competitors
B. will soon take the load in the industry
C. needs further improvement
D. faces both challenges and opportunities
35. What can be concluded from the last paragraph?
A. The population is developing faster than medical resources.
B. Healthcare is hardly available for the aging population.
C. The world is in need of more quality medical care.
D. The world population is becoming older and richer.
Passage Four
For many of us，asking for help is a difficult concept. We may feel as if we are admitting a
weakness that the world would not have known about，had we not asked for help.
Ironically, it’been s my experience that people who are able to deliver well-positioned
requests for help are seen as very strong individuals. When they demonstrate the humility (谦卑）
to ask for help, they earn the respect of others. People who receive a heartfelt request for help are
usually honored by the request. In turn, we are strengthened by the very help that is provided.
One of my clients (we’11 call her Kira) recently made a shift in how she was interacting with
her boss. When asked to prepare presentations, she assumed that she was expected to go away,
develop the content, deliver it at the required meeting and then wait for feedback from her boss.
Her boss was highly regarded for the impact of his presentations, while Kira often felt that her
presentations were lacking. When she took a hard look at how this approach was working for her,
Kira recognized that she had not yet made use of her boss’support. She s could learn far more
about creating attractive presentations by walking through a draft with her boss-focusing on the
content plus her delivery----and obtaining feedback earlier in the process rather than at the back
end. So she made the request for his support.
The outcome? Her boss was delighted to coach Kira and was enthusiastic about the
opportunity to put into use his own strength by teaching presentation skills more effectively to her.
By taking the time to work together on preparation for a number of Kira’s key presentations, sh
benefited from her boss's thought process and was able to distinguish the critical components to
enhance her own presentations. Kira’s presentations now have punch!
Some of us are uncomfortable asking for help because we believe that our request places
burdens on the other person. Ironically, we may be missing an opportunity to show others how we
value and respect them. People who know you and think well of you are often highly motivated to
help. Furthermore, the more specific you can be about what you need from them, the easier it is
for them, to assist you.
36. Many people are unwilling to ask for help because they _______.
A. are confident of themselves B. do not trust other people
C. arc ashamed of doing so D. do not think it necessary
37. Which of the following may the author agree with?
A. Asking for help means admitting weaknesses.
B. Helping others is helping oneself
C. Well-positioned: requests for help are welcomed.
D. Weak people often need more help.
38. Kira’s request for help_____.
A. turned out rewarding B. was turned down
C. led to her promotion D. benefited her boss in return
39. “Kira’s presentations now have punch” means her presentations are_____.
A. forceful B. controversial
C. well received D. highly motivating
40. The purpose of the passage is to_____.
A. illustrate how to ask for help
B. show the importance of mutual help
C. call for attention to others’ requests
D. encourage people to ask for kelp
Section B
Directions: In this section, you are required to read one quoted blog and
the comments on it.
The biog and comments arc followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with
four suggested answersA,B, C and D. Choose the best answer and mark your
answer on theAnswer Sheet.
A fascinating new study reveals that Americans are more likely to call their children
“intelligent,” while European parents focus on happiness and balance.
Here’what s one parent had to say about the intelligenceof her 3-year-old, which was
apparent to her from the very first moments of her life:
“I have this vivid memory, when she was born, of them taking her to clean her off... And she was looking all around... She was alert from the very fi
rst second... I took her out when she
was six weeks old to a shopping mall to have her picture taken people would stop me and say,
“What an alert baby.” One guy stopped me and said, Lady,“ she was an intelligent baby.”
Not only are Americans far morelikely tofocus on theirchildren’intelligence s and
cognitive skills, they are also far less likely to describe them as “happy” or to “easy” children
parent.
The U.S.’s unhealthy interest in cognitive development in the early yearsoverlooks so
much else,” the researchers told us.
Comment 1:
Probably indicates more about differences in cultural attitudes towards humility and boasting
than about parenting styles. Here in the Netherlands if someone caI’d be rolling
lled their child “intelligent”
my eyes, bothbecause it’s probablybiased and overstatedand because it’s
just a rotten thing to draw attention to;as if it’s all about whose child is Better“”. Life isnt’t tha
much of a damn contest to us.
Comment 2：
Agreed! That would apply in Sweden too. Parenting is more focused on the child-being ’s well
than social competition (there may be pressureshere too, but it is not socially acceptable to
express those things).
Comment 3:
I agree and Ilive in the U.S. Parent’sopinions of theirdefinitel
children’intellect s are
“advancedat”
y biased and overstated. It is the most annoying thing to listen to. Being
a young age has little if anything to do with their abilityto learn as they get older and
EVERY child is a genius if you give them a chance and an ear tolisten to them. The happier the
kid is, the smarter they will be. Happy and healthy is key.
41. The passage is mainly concerned with cultural differences in _____.
A. bringing up ones children’B. describing one’s children
C.social contests
D. choosing a place to live in
42. The word “alert (Para. 3) is” closest in meaning to“_____.”
A. intelligent B. easy-going
C. quick at noticingthings D. happy
43. According toComment 1, inthe Netherlands, calling one’is_____.
A. boasting B. acceptable
C. encouraging D. reasonable
44. What nationality is the writer of Comment 2?
A. Dutch.B. American.
C. Swedish. D. French.
45. All of the following are true of Comment 3 EXCEPT that _____.
A. it agrees with all the other comments
B. being happy and healthy is important
C. being intelligent at a young age makes no sense
D. children’s intellect varies from person to person
