Friendly doctors are bad for their patients' health, researchers have warned as a new study revealed two thirds of young medics struggle to be truthful with patients they like.
Blurring(模糊)the lines between social and professional relationships can __41__ on the level of care offered and prevent patients from being honest about important side effects. Doctors should avoid __42__ patients as friends on Facebook, and they should not hug or allow patients to call them by their first names, regulators have warned.
It comes as a survey of 338 oncologists(肿瘤医师)under the age of 40, __43__ in The
Lancet Oncology, found 59 per cent said they found it difficult to tell the truth to those patients they liked. Sixty per cent of respondents said if doctors felt too close to their patients, it could prevent them from making __44__ decisions about a person?s care.
4
Lesley Fallowfield, of Brighton and Sussex Medical School, said: “Oncology is
a specialty that can be enormously __45__ but is filled with challenges. Young oncologists have to master dealing with anxious patients who are facing a life-threatening disease; __46__ the true prediction; discussing the __47__ of modern treatments; and explaining the __48__ of some drugs and the side-effects of treatment.”
But she said for those doctors who have entered the profession in the age of the ?cyber world?, are more likely to fall __49__ to breaking the professional boundaries with patients.
She said: “The difficulty, if you hug and kiss patients, if you allow them to call you by your
first name, is that quickly the relationship can become __50__ as a social one rather than a professional one.”
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.
You may have been told before not to be afraid of anything. Fear is often associated with weakness. Fear is something to be __51__.
But that?s not true, according to Time For Kids magazine. Fear can be good for us.
Fear tells us about __52__. Without fear, we wouldn?t know to run away from a tiger or step back from a cliff.
In a study published in the Justice Quarterly Journal in August, researchers from Michigan State University said that a healthy fear of crime keeps teenagers away from __53__ dangerous people, places, and activities.
Fear makes us jump, scream and sweat. But __54__, sometimes we make ourselves feel fear __55__. Think about scary books and movies, and also the long lines for a scary roller coaster ride (过山车). Margee Kerr, a US sociologist, explained why to Time For Kids. Fear __56__ our brain with __57__ chemical substances, especially endorphins and dopamine(内啡肽和多巴胺), and
these things create feelings of happiness and __58__ us, according to Kerr.
__59__, when you?re scared, your body produces a chemical which helps people __60__with each other. “Watch people walking out of a haunted house (鬼屋), and you?ll see lots of smiles and
high fives,” Kerr told Time For Kids. That also explains why schools and companies organize
__61__ trips and physical activities to __62__ team spirit.
People experience and deal with fear in different ways. If you happen to be a “coward”(胆小
鬼)who gets scared easily, don?t worry. There is some evidence that being scared can help a
person __63__ stressful situations. Kerr said that things like giving a presentation in front of your class or performing in a school play help build a sort of __64__ to fear that makes us more confident. “You become more comfortable with the physical experience of fear, and so you?re better able to work through it during __65__ situations,” said Kerr.
So learn to love your fear. It only grows when we forget how helpful our fear is trying to be. 51. A. recommended B. avoided C. suspected D. investigated

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)
Sixth-grader Ivory Kelly finished up an English assignment at the blackboard. Then ... Ping! Ping! He felt something hitting his head. The 12-year-old knew just who was dissing him. He
turned around and shouted at DeAngela Byrd. DeAngela claimed she was innocent. Then she called Ivory a “guinea pig.” “Hosemouth!” he shouted back. Their teacher, Linda Mann, didn?t send them to the principal. She didn?t even make them stand in the hall. Instead, she sent them to work things out in a small storage room. The room is Glengarry Elementary?s mediation center (
Mediation in school is a way to solve conflicts without having teachers punish students. Kids called mediators are trained to listen to classmates accused of misbehaving or fighting. Without taking sides, the mediators help troubled kids come up with their own solutions. It usually takes no more than 15 minutes.
At Glengarry, 30 students from third through sixth grades are trained to settle fights. After calmly discussing the attack and name calling with sixth-grade mediators, Michael Reese and Tracie Thacker, Ivory and DeAngela signed a promise “not to mess with each other.”
Many U.S. elementary schools are starting to give kids more responsibility for discipline. In the past 10 years, one-tenth of the nation?s 86,000 public schools have started programs to resolve conflicts, mostly in middle or high schools. But educators want to begin more mediation programs sooner. They say elementary-age kids are even better at talking about their feelings and deciding on a fair solution than older kids are! When a teacher or principal is not involved, “kids talk more freely,” says Glengarry Principal Loraine Johnson.
So far, mediation seems to work well. In one survey of 115 Ohio elementary schools with mediation programs, two out of three noted a decrease in fights, and more than half said fewer kids were being sent to the principal?s office. In New Mexico, reports of bad behavior in
elementary schools have dropped 85% since mediation programs began.
66. The underlined word “dissing” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. attempting B. insulting
C. invading D. interrupting
6
67. Students trained in the mediation ______.
A. are neutral, never taking sides
B. provide a solution for the troubled kids
C. accuse students of misbehaving or fighting
D. decide on the punishment for misbehaving students
68. Which of the following statements is false?
A. Teachers are not mediators and won?t give judgments.
B. Mediation programs in schools seem to reduce misbehavior.
C. Elementary-age children are able to solve conflicts among schoolmates.
D. Mediation programs encourage students to work with teachers to solve conflicts. 69. What?s the best title for the passage?
A. Don?t Mess with Each Other B. A Drop in Misbehavior
C. Keep the Grownups Out of It D. Stricter Discipline Promotes Behavior

(C)
We all dream of living a long, happy life, but where are the happiest places in the world?
A new map of 151 countries has revealed exactly which parts of the globe deliver long and happy lives for their citizens. The results may surprise you, with Costa Rica, Colombia and Vietnam topping the league. The UK features at position 44 - higher than Germany (47), Spain (62), Canada (65), Australia (76) and the US (105).
The map was made by the relocation website Movehub, using data from the latest Happy Planet Index (HPI) - a global measure of sustainable wellbeing(可持续幸
The HPI measures life expectancy(平均寿命), the level of well-being experienced and
ecological(生态的) footprint. Each of the three aspects is given a traffic-light score based on thresholds for good (green), middling (amber) and bad (red) performance. These scores are combined to an expanded six-color traffic light for the overall HPI score, where, to achieve bright green – the best of the six colors, a country would have to perform well on all three individual components.
Experienced well-being: This was assessed using a question called the ?Ladder of Life?. This
asks respondents to imagine a ladder, where 0 represents the worst possible life and 10 the best possible life, and report the step of the ladder they feel they currently stand on.
Life expectancy: Alongside experienced well-being, the Happy Planet Index includes a universally important measure of health – life expectancy. We used life expectancy data from the
2011 UNDP Human Development Report.
Ecological Footprint: The HPI uses the Ecological Footprint promoted by the environmental charity WWF as a measure of resource consumption. It is a per capita(人均) measure of the
amount of land required to sustain a country?s consumption pattern.
Two of the three main factors are directly about happiness. The third (Ecological footprint) is regarded as sustainable happiness. i.e. whether a country could sustain its citizens without any outside help. The idea is that if there was an incident which cut a country completely off from the outside world, or a country had to be completely self-sufficient, most of the developed world would be unable to do that.
The reason for some high-income nations to score significantly below other nations is the ecological footprint left on the planet. Mexicans and Canadians both appear to be happier than their US neighbor - most likely due to the country's ecological footprint. 74. According to the passage, the happiest places in the world are countries ______.
A. which deliver long, happy and sustainable lives for the people
9
B. which offer good medical care to help people live longer
C. which are wealthy enough to provide free social services
D. whose citizens are leading a happy and luxurious life
75. If a country whose traffic-light score of the experienced well-being is red, it means that
______.
A. people there are happy with their present situation
B. people?s previous life was much better
C. people are not very satisfied with their life
D. most people choose to be on the top of the ladder
76. What do the two underlined words “This” refer to?
A. Experienced well-being; A real ladder.
B. Experienced well-being; The question.
C. The Happy Planet Index (HPI); The “Ladder of Life”.
D. The individual component; The researcher.
77. If the U.S. footprint per capita is 9.0 gha(全
can conclude that ______.
A. people in the U.S. are happier than those in Switzerland
B. the U.S is less dependent on outside help than Switzerland
C. the land in U. S. is more productive than that in Switzerland
D. people in U.S. consume more natural resources than those in Switzerland Section C
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
Speed-reading is a crucial skill in the Internet age. We skim over articles, e-mails and tweets to try to grasp key words and the essential meaning of a certain text. Bombarded with information from our electronic devices, it would be impossible to cope if we read word by word, line by line.
But a new trend calls on people to unplug and enjoy reading slowly, using the linear pattern, left-to-right sequence.
A recent story from The Wall Street Journal reported on a book club in Wellington, New Zealand, where members meet in a cafe and turn off their smartphones. They sink into cozy chairs and read in silence for an hour.
Unlike traditional book clubs, the point of the Slow Reading Club isn?t exchanging ideas about a certain book, but to get away from electronic devices and read in a quiet, relaxed environment. According to the Journal, the Wellington Book Club is just one example of a movement initiated by book lovers who miss the old-fashioned way of reading before the Internet and smartphones.
Slow readers, such as The Atlantic?s Maura Kelly, say a regular reading habit sharpens the
mind, improves concentration, reduces stress levels and deepens the ability to empathize(有
起共鸣).
Some of these benefits have been backed up by science. For example, a study of 300 elderly people published by the journal Neurology last year showed that regular engagement in intellectual activities like reading slowed the rate of memory loss later in life.
Another study published last year in Science showed that reading novels helps people understand others? mental states and beliefs, a crucial skill in building relationships.
10
Slow reading means a return to an uninterrupted, linear pattern, in a quiet environment free of distractions. Aim for 30 minutes a day, advises Kelly from The Atlantic. “You can squeeze in that half hour pretty easily if only during your free moments – whenever you find yourself
automatically firing up your laptop to check your favorite site, or scanning Twitter for something to pass the time–you pick up a meaningful work of literature,” Kelly said. “Reach for your e-reader, if you like. Kindles make books like War and Peace less heavy, and also ensure you?ll never lose your place in the book.”
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE
WORDS)
78. Speed-readers read an article by __________________________________________. 79. What do the members of the Wellington Book Club usually do?
____________________________________________________________________.
80. Slow reading will benefit people?s future life because it can _________________________.
81. According to Kelly, what are the two advantages of e-readers like Kindles?

Government statistics recently revealed that in the UK, more than 3,000 people a year experience electric shocks in their home. A smaller number are electrocuted after __41__ with power lines outside the home. Electric shocks can cause a person’s heart or breathing to stop, can also cause burns and are __42__fatal. It is essential for people to learn basic first aid
techniques to deal with such __43__.
If you are the first person to reach someone who has had an electric shock, don’t touch them! If they are still holding the appliance that has given them the shock (eg a hair dryer), unplug it or turn off the power at its source. Under no circumstances, try to move the appliance with your hand!
If you can’t turn off the power, use a piece of wood, like a broom handle or a chair, to __44__ the victim from the
appliance or the power source. You may even be able to do this with a folded newspaper.
The victim must remain lying down. If they are __45__, victims should be placed on their side. But they should not be moved if there is a possibility of neck or spine injuries unless it is __46__ necessary.
It is essential to __47__ the victim’s body heat, so make sure you cover him or her with a blanket before you do anything else. If the victim is not breathing, __48__ mouth-to-mouth resuscitation(复生). Keep the victim’s head low until
professional help arrives.
If the electric shock has been caused by an external power line, the __49__ to the victim and to anybody providing first aid are much greater.
III. Reading Comprehension (50%)
What is time? Is it a thing to be saved or spent or wasted, like money? Or is it something we have no __50__ over, like the weather? Is time the same all over the world? That's an easy question, you say. Wherever you go, a minute is 60 seconds, an hour is 60 minutes, a day is 24 hours, and so forth. Well, maybe. But in America, time is more than that. Americans see time as a __51__ resource. Maybe that's why they are fond of the expression, "Time is money."
Because Americans believe time is a limited resource, they try to conserve and manage it. People in the U.S. often
attend lectures or read books on time __52__. It seems they all want to __53__ their time better. Professionals carry around pocket planners -- some in electronic form -- to keep __54__ of appointments and deadlines. People do all they can to __55__ more life out of their time. The early American hero Benjamin Franklin expressed this view best: "Do you love life? Then do not waste time, for that is the stuff life is made of."
To Americans, punctuality is a way of showing __56__ for other people's time. Being more than 10 minutes late to an appointment usually calls for an apology, and maybe an explanation. People who are running late often call ahead to let others know of the __57__. Of course, the less formal the situation, the less important it is to be __58__ on time.
American lifestyles show how much people respect the time of others. When people plan an event, they often set the time days or weeks __59__. If people want to come to your house for a friendly visit, they will usually call first to make sure it is __60__. Also, people __61__to call others late at night for fear they might be in bed. The time may __62__, but most folks think twice about calling after 10:00 p.m.
— 2 —
Even Americans would admit that no one can master time. Time -- like money -- __63__ all too easily through our fingers. And time -- like the weather -- is very hard to __64__. Nevertheless, time is one of life's most precious gifts. And unwrapping it is half the fun.

Section B
Six years ago, “Blue”, a South African vervet monkey, was smuggled (走私,偷带)into Singapore by a sailor and sold
to a local family who kept him as an illegal pet. As “Blue” grew up, he started to bite. This made the family decide to give him away. They approached the International Primate Protection League (IPPL) for help but they were not able to find him a new home.
“Blue” eventually ended up in the Singapore Zoo while the locally-based Animal Concerns Research and Education
Society (Acres) continued to search for a home for him. The Zoo was unable to keep him permanently because it did not have this species of monkey in its collection and had no plans to exhibit it. Then good news came in February 2009. A sanctuary in Africa offered 'Blue' a permanent home.
When the Singapore Zoo officials took over “Blue”, he was underweight. Vervet monkeys eat grass, fruit, nuts and invertebrates, but “Blue'” was fed only rice. The family that kept “Blue” illegally was fined for keeping a vervet monkey
because it is a protected species. “Blue” spent about a year in the Singapore Zoo before heading home for Africa.
Apart from vervet monkeys, other endangered animals were not spared. A man tried to smuggle 41 parrot eggs from Singapore to Australia. Fortunately, he was caught by the Australian Customs in Sydney. Had the smuggler been successful in hatching the eggs, he would have made about $319,000 from the sale of these endangered birds.
Of the 41 eggs seized by the Australian customs, five were kept in Australia as evidence to charge the smuggler. The embryos(胚胎)in two of the eggs died, and the other 34 eggs were flown back to Singapore the next day. The Australian authorities decided to donate the eggs to Jurong BirdPark because it had world-class quarantine and excellent conservation facilities. About a month later, the Jurong BirdPark managed to hatch 20 of the eggs. The embryos in the remaining 14 eggs did not develop.
— 3 —
These birds could have been someone's illegal pets or worse, they could have died on their way to Australia. Now they
are all happy residents of the Jurong BirdPark.
65. This passage is mainly about _____.
A. smuggling methods B. parrot eggs C. vervet monkeys D. protected animals 66. “Blue” was underweight because_____.
A. the Singapore Zoo was unable to feed it B. it was only given what it wanted to eat
C. it was not well taken care of by its former owner D. it ate grass, fruit, nuts and invertebrates 67. Why were five eggs left in Australia?
A. To serve as an evidence to award the Australian Customs.
B. To prove the man smuggled endangered animals.
C. To warn the other smugglers to stop the wildlife trade.
D. To develop the techniques in hatching bird eggs.
68. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. The smuggler made a lot of money from the sale of the parrot eggs.
B. More than half of the donated eggs were hatched by the Jurong BirdPark.
C. It’s legal in Singapore to keep a protected animal and take good care of it.
D. “Blue” found its permanent home in a zoo in Australia with excellent facilities.

Canadians who work night and rotating shifts(
working regular day shifts, according to a study by researchers at the University of British Columbia. The study, published in the current issue of the Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment and Health, examined data on more than 30,000 Canadians collected as part of Statistics Canada's Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics and compared results between workers involved in different types of shift work from 1996-2006. It shows that while the overall rate of work injuries in Canada decreased during this time, the rate of injuries did not decline for night shift workers.
The study also found that the risk of work injury associated with shift work was more pronounced for women,
especially if they work rotating shifts.
"The disruption of normal sleep patterns due to shift work can cause drowsiness or exhaustion, which can lead to workplace injuries," says Imelda Wong, a PhD Candidate at UBC's School of Environmental Health and the study's lead author. "Our research shows that people working rotating and night shifts are more likely to experience an injury than those who work regular day hours."
The researchers suggest that because women are more likely to be responsible for childcare and household work, they may have more difficulties adjusting to shift work and maintaining regular sleep schedules.
The number of Canadians working non-standard hours has increased dramatically in recent decades. The number of women in rotating and night shift work increased by 95 per cent during the study period, primarily in the health care sector. For men, the increase was 50 per cent, mostly in manufacturing and trades.
— 5 —
In 2006, 307,000 work-related injury claims associated with shift work represented more than $50.5 million in costs to Canada's workers' compensation system.
"As more and more workers become involved in non-daytime shift work, we may see an increase in injuries, especially among women," says co-author Chris McLeod, a research associate at UBC's Centre for Health Services and Policy Research. "Regulatory agencies and employers need to consider policies and programs to help reduce the risk of injuries among shift workers."
72. According to the passage, the night and rotating shifts will _____.
A. lead to workplace injuries B. upset normal sleep patterns
C. interfere with childcare and housework D. cause damage to health
73. The underlined word “pronounced” means _____.
A. considerate B. acceptable C. noticeable D. reduced
74. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Women will be less involved in non-daytime shift work.
B. Healthcare sector should take in more men workers.
C. Shift workers injured on the job can get more compensation.
D. The rate of work injuries declined for regular day shift workers.
75. The author tries to convince the readers by _____.
A. giving examples B. quoting authors of the study
C. presenting his own opinions D. sharing personal experience
Section C
A. Find better ways to deal with teenagers
B. Parents should adapt themselves to the fast change
C. Teen rebellion is natural and common in life
D. Treat teenagers with patience and understanding
E. Teens are learning correct behaviour
F. Not every rebellious behaviour needs action
76.
Most teenagers, at some time in their lives, will openly defy the advice and authority of their parents and other figures of authority. The important thing to remember is that most teenagers will pass through this phase and return to become normal law abiding citizens.
77.
The major reason for rebellion in teenagers is for them to find their place in the adult world, to find where they belong in the greater scheme of things. Like all children, teenagers cannot know the limits of their behaviour without first exploring
— 6 —
the edges. We are not born with an innate sense of right and wrong, we learn the difference through trial and error as we mature. Teenagers only need the time, and life's lessons, to learn correct behaviour.
78.
Confronting teenagers almost never works, it only gives them an opportunity to test their will and strength. Discussion about behaviour will always work better, but not necessarily always work. When discussing behaviour with a teenager, talk about behaviour in general, not their behaviour in particular. This way they can be objective and not feel the need to protect their position. But when discussing issues with teenagers, be prepared for argument. Remember, they don't have the years of experience you have accumulated to find this wisdom, what you know may not match what they have learnt. Do not just impart wisdom; ask questions that lead them to wisdom.
79.
Another aspect to handling teenage rebellion for parents is to keep in mind harm. When dealing with a behaviour think about how important the issue is. Is spiked orange hair really an important issue to get into an argument with the teenager over? It might be embarrassing to walk down the street with, but is it really harmful? Who is it harming? Society at large will
soon sort the hairstyle out, either accepting it or making life difficult enough for the teenager to want to change. If on the other hand the teenager is behaving dangerously, either to themselves or others, then it is necessary to take some sort of action, but not confrontation.
80.
Teenagers are at the age where the world no longer seems large, and they no longer respond to threats the way they may have as small children. So oftentimes the problem parents are having are due mostly to their slowness in responding to the changed circumstances, not realizing that the mechanisms used in the past no longer work. And because teenagers change fast while parents tend to be a bit slower, conflict can occur simply because the parent doesn't realize they are talking to a young adult, not a large child. So be ready for change when your child is approaching their teens, don't wait until they get there.
Section D
In 2009 alcohol was a factor in 32% of road deaths. Just over 1 in 3 fatal crashes in Western Australia involved at least 1 driver who was over the legal 0.05 limit and 52% of these crashes involved drivers who were 3 times over the legal limit.
It doesn't take much to put drivers over the legal alcohol limit of 0.05 and it is well known that drinking before driving increases your chances of crashing. Studies have shown that drivers are twice as likely to crash with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.05, 7 times as likely with a BAC of 0.08 and 25 times more likely to crash with a BAC of 0.15.
Intoxicated (醉酒的) drivers involved in fatal crashes are 3 times more likely to have been speeding or not wearing a seat belt than sober drivers. Alcohol affects decision-making, reaction times, speed and distance judgments, concentration
— 7 —
and perception, balance and alertness. It can also give a driver a false sense of confidence which may encourage him or her to take more risks.
Each year in Western Australia, more than 19,000 people were booked for drink driving. Despite the scientific evidence, many people mistakenly think that after a few drinks they are fit to handle a vehicle or motorcycle. However, most people find it hard to gauge their own blood alcohol level and because everyone is different, a number of things need to be considered before getting behind the wheel. They include the amount of liquor drunk, the period over which it was consumed, your body mass, whether or not you have eaten, your fitness levels and health of your liver.
Alcohol-related fatal crashes cost the Western Australian community in excess of $200 million each year. The hospital and rehabilitation costs of alcohol-related crashes where people are seriously injured are even higher. (Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN FIFTEEN WORDS)

From the traditional Chinese point of view, marriage is a relationship 43 J. many aspects such as family,

our family and relatives. Our partner has to understand it and at least does not 47 C it.
It is not easy to maintain Chinese-Western relationship. Cultural differences may result in many 48 B. . Young
Asian ladies are fond of western men because they believe they are more gentlemanly and in addition their appearances are more (muscular and) attractive. Western men may think Chinese ladies are gentler and more feminine.

than changing; always respecting your partner but clarifying your own red lines; showing your interest in his/her different culture and carefully commenting on it and so on.
There are more and more cross-culture marriages 49 H. recently. I would like to take this chance to sincerely

(1) A new research suggests that animals have a much higher level of brainpower than previously thought. If animals do have intelligence, how do scientists measure it? Before defining animals' intelligence, scientists defined what is not intelligence. Instinct is not intelligence. It is a skill 50 into an animal's brain by its genetic heritage(基因遗传).
Rote conditioning is also not intelligence. Tricks can be learned by repetition, but no real thinking is 51 . Cuing, in
which animals learn to do or not to do certain things by following outside signals, does not demonstrate intelligence. Scientists believe that insight, the ability to use tools, and communication using human language are all 53
measures of the mental ability of animals.
(2) When judging animal intelligence, scientists look for insight, which they define as a flash of sudden understanding. When a young gorilla could not reach fruit from a tree, she noticed crates scattered about the lawn near the tree. She 53
the crates into a pyramid, then climbed on them to reach her 54 . The gorilla's insight allowed her to solve a new
problem without trial and error.

shells in order to get at the meat.
(4) Many animals have learned to communicate using human language. Some primates have learned hundreds of words in sign language. One chimp can recognize and correctly use more than 250 57 symbols on a keyboard.
These symbols 58 human words. An amazing parrot can 59 five objects of two different types. He can
understand the difference between the number, color, and kind of object. The ability to 60 is a basic thinking skill.
He seems to use language to express his needs and 61 . When ill and taken to the animal hospital for his first
overnight stay, this parrot turned to go. "Come here!" he cried to a scientist who works with him. "I love you. I'm sorry. Wanna go back?"
(5) The research on animal intelligence raises important questions. If animals are smarter than 62 thought, would
that change the way humans interact with them? Would humans stop hunting them for sport or survival? Would animals still be used for food, clothing, or 63 experimentation? Finding the answer to these tough questions makes a

DOES solving a math problem give you a headache? Do you feel nervous when you sit a math exam? For most, math can be tough (难的) but new research suggests that it can also cause us physical pain.
Scientists came to this conclusion with an in-depth experiment, which was published in the Public Library of Science One journal. They began by finding out how much participants (实验参与者) fear math. Those involved were asked a
series of questions such as how they feel when they receive a math textbook or when they walk into a math lesson.

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)
Sixth-grader Ivory Kelly finished up an English assignment at the blackboard. Then ... Ping! Ping! He felt something hitting his head. The 12-year-old knew just who was him. He turned around and shouted at DeAngela Byrd. DeAngela claimed she was innocent. Then she called Ivory a “guinea pig.” “Hosemouth!” he shouted back. Their teacher, Linda Mann, didn?t send them to the principal. She didn?t even make them stand in the hall. Instead, she sent them to work things out in a small storage room. The room is Glengarry Elementary?s mediation center (调解中心) .
Mediation in school is a way to solve conflicts without having teachers punish students. Kids called mediators are trained to listen to classmates accused of misbehaving or fighting. Without taking sides, the mediators help troubled kids come up with their own solutions. It usually takes no more than 15 minutes. At Glengarry, 30 students from third through sixth grades are trained to settle fights. After calmly discussing the attack and name calling with sixth-grade mediators, Michael Reese and Tracie Thacker, Ivory and DeAngela signed a promise “not to mess with each other.”
Many U.S. elementary schools are starting to give kids more responsibility for discipline. In the past 10 years, one-tenth of the nation?s 86,000 public schools have started programs to resolve conflicts, mostly in middle or high schools. But educators want to begin more mediation programs sooner. They say elementary-age kids are even better at talking about their feelings and deciding on a fair solution than older kids are! When a teacher or principal is not involved, “kids talk more freely,” says Glengarry Principal Loraine Johnson.
So far, mediation seems to work well. In one survey of 115 Ohio elementary schools with mediation programs, two out of three noted a decrease in fights, and more than half said fewer kids were being sent to the principal?s office. In New Mexico, reports of bad behavior in elementary schools have dropped 85% since mediation programs began.
66. The underlined word “dissing” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. attempting B. insulting
C. invading D. interrupting
67. Students trained in the mediation ______.
A. are neutral, never taking sides
B. provide a solution for the troubled kids
C. accuse students of misbehaving or fighting
D. decide on the punishment for misbehaving students
68. Which of the following statements is false ?
A. Teachers are not mediators and won?t give judgments.
B. Mediation programs in schools seem to reduce misbehavior.
C. Elementary-age children are able to solve conflicts among schoolmates.
D. Mediation programs encourage students to work with teachers to solve conflicts.
69. What?s the best title for the passage?
A. Don?t Mess with Each Other B. A Drop in Misbehavior C. Keep the Grownups Out of It
D. Stricter Discipline Promotes Behavior

(C)
We all dream of living a long, happy life, but where are the happiest places in the world?
A new map of 151 countries has revealed exactly which parts of the globe deliver long and happy lives for their citizens. The results may surprise you, with Costa Rica, Colombia and Vietnam topping the league. The UK features at position 44 - higher than Germany (47), Spain (62), Canada (65), Australia (76) and the US (105).
The map was made by the relocation website Movehub, using data from the latest Happy Planet Index (HPI) - a global measure of sustainable wellbeing(可持续幸福) .
The HPI measures life expectancy(平均寿命) , the level of well-being experienced and ecological (生态的) footprint. Each of the three aspects is given a traffic-light score based on thresholds for good (green), middling (amber) and bad (red) performance. These scores are combined to an expanded six-color traffic light for the overall HPI score, where, to achieve bright green – the best of the six colors, a country would have to perform well on all three individual components.
Experienced well-being: was assessed using a question called the ?Ladder of Life?. asks respondents to imagine a ladder, where 0 represents the worst possible life and 10 the best possible life, and report the step of the ladder they feel they currently stand on.
Life expectancy: Alongside experienced well-being, the Happy Planet Index includes a universally important measure of health – life expectancy. We used life expectancy data from the 2011 UNDP Human Development Report.
Ecological Footprint: The HPI uses the Ecological Footprint promoted by the environmental charity WWF as a measure of resource consumption. It is a per capita(人均) measure of the amount of land required to sustain a country?s consumption pattern.
Two of the three main factors are directly about happiness. The third (Ecological footprint) is regarded as sustainable happiness. i.e. whether a country could sustain its citizens without any outside help. The idea is that if there was an incident which cut a country completely off from the outside world, or a country had to be completely self-sufficient, most of the developed world would be unable to do that.
The reason for some high-income nations to score significantly below other nations is the ecological footprint left on the planet. Mexicans and Canadians both appear to be happier than their US neighbor - most likely due to the country's ecological footprint.
74. According to the passage, the happiest places in the world are countries ______.
A. which deliver long, happy and sustainable lives for the people
B. which offer good medical care to help people live longer
C. which are wealthy enough to provide free social services
D. whose citizens are leading a happy and luxurious life
75. If a country whose traffic-light score of the experienced well-being is red, it means that ______.
A. people there are happy with their present situation
B. people?s previous life was much better
C. people are not very satisfied with their life
D. most people choose to be on the top of the ladder
76. What do the two underlined words “This” refer to?
A. Experienced well-being; A real ladder.
B. Experienced well-being; The question.
C. The Happy Planet Index (HPI); The “Ladder of Life”.
D. The individual component; The researcher.
77. If the U.S. footprint per capita is 9.0 gha(
A. people in the U.S. are happier than those in Switzerland
B. the U.S is less dependent on outside help than Switzerland
C. the land in U. S. is more productive than that in Switzerland
D. people in U.S. consume more natural resources than those in Switzerland
Section C
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
Speed-reading is a crucial skill in the Internet age. We skim over articles, e-mails and tweets to try to grasp key words and the essential meaning of a certain text. Bombarded with information from our electronic devices, it would be impossible to cope if we read word by word, line by line.
But a new trend calls on people to unplug and enjoy reading slowly, using the linear pattern, left-to-right sequence.
A recent story from The Wall Street Journal reported on a book club in Wellington, New Zealand, where members meet in a cafe and turn off their smartphones. They sink into cozy chairs and read in silence for an hour.
Unlike traditional book clubs, the point of the Slow Reading Club isn?t exchanging ideas about a certain book, but to get away from electronic devices and read in a quiet, relaxed environment. According to the Journal, the Wellington Book Club is just one example of a movement initiated by book lovers who miss the old-fashioned way of reading before the Internet and smartphones.
Slow readers, such as The Atlantic?s Maura Kelly, say a regular reading habit sharpens the mind, improves concentration, reduces stress levels and deepens the ability to empathize(
Another study published last year in Science showed that reading novels helps people understand others? mental states and beliefs, a crucial skill in building relationships.
Slow reading means a return to an uninterrupted, linear pattern, in a quiet environment free of distractions. Aim for 30 minutes a day, advises Kelly from The Atlantic. “You can squeeze in that half hour pretty easily if only during your free moments – whenever you find yourself automatically firing up your laptop to check your favorite site, or scanning Twitter for something to pass the time – you pick up a meaningful work of literature,” Kelly said. “Reach for your e-reader, if you like. Kindles make books like War and Peace less heavy, and also ensure you?ll never lose your place in the book.”
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS) 78. Speed-readers read an article by __________________________________________.
79. What do the members of the Wellington Book Club usually do?
____________________________________________________________________.
80. Slow reading will benefit people? s future life because it can _________________________.
81. According to Kelly, what are the two advantages of e-readers like Kindles?
____________________________________________________________________.
