weeks___29___(support) his young family. And the bike was also

used to get groceries (食品杂货)___30___ (save) us from having to

walk long distances from___31___we live.

I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote

to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that，several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful

stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it

up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job.

HAVE your parents ever caught you misbehaving – fighting

with peers, coming home late or playing computer games when

you were supposed to be doing your homework? How did they

react? Did they try to talk to you or just yell at you?

Parents used to rely on___41___ punishments like pushing or

spanking (打屁股) to control their children’s behavior, which has

been proven to be very ___42___. Therefore, most parents now

choose to simply yell, thinking that language probably won’t

hurt as much. But is that really so?

Using harsh words such as “lazy” or “stupid” to insult

teenagers is just as harmful as hitting, according to a new study

carried out at the University of Pittsburgh, US. “It cannot reduce

or correct their problem behavior,” said Professor Ming-Te Wang,

leader of the study, in an interview with The Wall Street Journal.

“On the contrary, it makes it even___43___ .”

The study’s subjects were 976 two-parent families with

teenage children. Researchers asked

1

the kids about their behavior problems while questioning

parents about how often they had cursed or yelled at their kids.

Nearly half of the parents___44___ that they’d shouted at

their children in the past year. Researchers noted that the kids

whose parents used more harsh words ___45___ more behavior

problems afterwards, including fighting, stealing, lying as well as

symptoms of depression.

“Adolescence is a very sensitive period when kids are trying

to ___46___ their self-identities. When you yell, it makes

them___47___ they are not capable, that they are worthless and

useless,” Wang said. “This may explain why so many parents

say that no matter how loud they shout, their teenagers don’t

listen.”

While harsh yelling can stop bad behavior in the moment, it

doesn’t___48___ children to behave how parents want them to,

according to Professor Alan Kazdin of Yale University, US. What

parents need to do is praise their children for good behavior.

If parents really need to___49___ their kids, they should try

things like taking away smart phones and reminding them that

good behavior will get them back. After all, “we want to teach

kids, not hurt them,” said Kazdin.

IV. Cloze (15%) 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.

Students Hair Problem in Schools Children’s’ hairstyles

often attract disapproval from adults. Even in the U.S., a five-year-old boy from Ohio was___50___to go to kindergarten unless he

changed his Mohawk. Such problems also appear in Asian

countries, where different hairstyles and dresses are largely

___51___ by schools. Nowadays, students in these countries want

more___52___ . And in fact, the regulations over students’

hairstyles are not as strict as before. In Thailand, students are

allowed a___53___ range of hairstyles than traditional army-style

cuts. Girls are also able to grow their hair long.___54___ the new

rules still contain a lot of restrictions. The hairstyles issue still

arouses students’ ___55___. A 15-year-old Thai student even

wrote a letter to Thailand’s National Human Rights Commission,

saying the rules violate human rights and personal___56___. The

schools argue that complete freedom in hairstyles will make

young students more ___57___ from textbooks by pursuing

strange new hairstyles, and many___58___ a bad atmosphere

where students form their own personalities.___59___, students

believe that allowing them to choose their own hairstyles will

give them more confidence and creativity at school. ___60___, this

is not a simple right-or-wrong issue. Schools may take

more___61___ strategies to ease the tension. A junior school

teacher once asked his students to try new hairstyles during

winter vacation and take pictures for a hairstyle contest which

would be held at the beginning of the next semester. The only

requirement for the contest was that they had to___62___ their

hairstyles back when the new semester began. Everyone followed

the rule and it became a class game, ___63___ a source of tension.

This is of course not the only way to deal with the problem.

Teachers can make the school rules more ___64___ for their

students. As long as the bottom line of education is guaranteed,

V. Reading Comprehension 27 %

A While I was waiting outside my wife’s office building for

her to get out of work, I saw a beggar coming my way from across

the parking lot. “I hope he doesn’t ask me for any money,” I

thought. He didn’t. He came and sat in front of the bus stop,

but he didn’t look like he could have enough money to ride the

bus. After a few minutes he spoke. “That’s a pretty car,” he

said, pointing to my car. He was ragged (衣 衫褴褛), but he had

an air of dignity about himself. I gave him a smile and continued

cleaning my car. He sat there quietly as I worked. The expected

asking for money never came. As the silence between us widened,

it seemed that a voice inside me said, “Ask him if he needs any

help.” I was sure that he would say “yes”, but I listened to the

inner voice. “Do you need any help?” I asked. He answered in

three simple but meaningful words that I shall never forget. We

often look for wisdom in great men and women, and we expect

it from those of higher learning and achievements. I expected

nothing but a dirty hand from him, but he said three words that

shook me. “Don’t we all?” he said. I was feeling high,

successful and important above a beggar in the street, until those

three words hit me like a shot. Don’t we all? I needed help.

Maybe not for a bus fare or for a place to sleep, but I needed

help. I reached in my wallet and gave him not only for a bus fare,

but enough to get a warm meal and shelter for the day. Those

three little words still ring true. No matter how much you have,

no matter how much you have achieved, you need help, too. No

matter how little you have, no matter how loaded you are with

problems, even without money or a place to sleep, you can give

help.

C Global Positioning Systems are now a part of everyday

driving in many countries. These satellite-based systems provide

turn-by-turn directions to help people get to where they want to

go. But, they can also cause a lot of problems, send you to the

wrong place or leave you completely lost. Many times, the driver

is to blame. Sometimes a GPS error is responsible. Most often,

says Barry Brown, it is a combination of the two.

5

We spoke to Mr. Brown by Skype. He told us about an

incident involving a friend who had flown to an airport in the

eastern United States. There he borrowed a GPS-equipped car to

use during his stay. Barry Brown: “And they just plugged in an

address and then set off to their destination. And, then it wasn’t

until they were driving for thirty minutes that they realized they

actually put in a destination back on the West Coast where they

lived. They actually put their home address in. So again, the GPS

is kind of 'garbage in garbage out'.”

Mister Brown says this is a common human error. But, he says,

what makes the problem worse has to do with some of the

shortcomings, or failures, of GPS equipment. Barry Brown: “One

problem with a lot of the GPS units is they have a very small

screen and they just tell you the next turn. Because they just give

you the next turn, sometimes that means that it is not really

giving you the overview that you would need to know that it’s

going to the wrong place.”

Barry Brown formerly served as a professor with the

University of California, San Diego. While there, he worked on a

project with Eric Laurier from the University of Edinburgh. The

two men studied the effects of GPS devices on driving by placing

cameras in people’s cars. They wrote a paper based on their

research. It is called “The Normal, Natural Troubles of Driving

with GPS.” It lists several areas where GPS systems can cause

confusion for drivers. These include maps that are outdated,

incorrect or difficult to understand. They also include timing

issues related to when GPS commands are given.

Barry Brown says to make GPS systems better we need a

better understanding of how drivers, passengers and GPS

systems work together.

72. In Paragraph 2, Mr. Brown mentioned his friend in the

conversation to _____________.

A. build up his own reputation

B. laugh at his stupid friend

C. prove the GPS system is only garbage D. describe an

example of human error

73. With which of the following statement would Barry Brown

most likely agree?

A. GPS units are to blame for the most GPS service failures.

B. We should introduce higher standard for the driving

license.

C. Cameras are urgently needed to help improve GPS

systems.

D. Drivers, GPS systems and passengers should unite to

improve GPS systems.

74. What is Mr. Brown’s attitude towards GPS?

A. Unconcerned

B. One-sided C. Objective

D. Critical

75. What would be the best title for the text?

A. Driving With GPS Can Be Difficult

B. Driving Confusions Can Be Caused bBy Small Screen

C. Driving Without GPS Should Be Much More Convenient

D. GPS Equipment In Driving: To Be Deserted Or Improved?

D

Directions: Read the following text and choose the most

suitable heading from A-F for each

paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not

need.( 5%)

A. What do people with an intellectual disability need? B.

What is intellectual disability? C. How do people with an

intellectual disability talk? D. What are the forms of intellectual

disability?

6

E. What causes intellectual disability? F. How do you talk to a

person with an intellectual disability?

76._________ People with intellectual disability form one of the

largest single disability groups in a

community. Intellectual disability refers to a general slowness

to learn and function within society, and the identification of

intellectual disability is usually based on an assessment of a

person’s performance in a variety of tests. An individual’s level

of performance, as assessed, can change with time and

circumstances. With skilled training and opportunity for

development, people with intellectual disability have much

greater potential for acquiring skills and for participation in

community life than previously had been thought possible.

77._________ In many western societies, five categories of

intellectual disability have traditionally been used in order to

indicate the perceived degree of difficulty an individual has with

learning. All five may occur in either children, adolescent or adult,

and show as mild, moderate, severe, profound or multiple

intellectual disabilities. 78._________ For the majority of intellectual

disabilities, there is no identifiable cause but there are some

causes that are well documented. They include: brain damage at

birth due to lack of oxygen—prolonged labor during childbirth;

brain damage before birth due to factors such as rubella, drug or

diet-related problems; damage after birth due to illnesses such

as encephalitis or accident; hereditary defects in the genes;

abnormal chromosome count resulting in, for example, Down

Syndrome. 79.________ Like everyone else, people with an

intellectual disability need a rewarding job, a satisfying place to

live and a good social life. But they may need extra support to

achieve these things. Good support services are based on the

principle of normalization-which means enabling people to be

part of the community like everyone else. 80.________ With the

introduction of the intellectually disabled into communities,

there is a need to promote awareness of communication.

Although many people may have little experience in talking with

an intellectually disabled person, there are common guidelines

that can simplify the interaction. Firstly, it is useful to remember

that people with disabilities have feelings. Speaking in the same

friendly manner as you would to anyone else is also

recommended. Being prepared to wait a little longer for replies

during a conversation with an intellectually disabled person

would undoubtedly benefit the exchange.
