Part Ⅱ Cloze Directions:There are 15 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Children model themselves largely on their parents. They do so mainly through identification. Children identify 1 a parent when they believe they have the qualities and feelings that are 2 of that parent. The things parents do and say—and the 3 they do and say to them therefore strongly influence a child's 4 . However, parents must consistently behave like the type of 5 they want their child to become. A parent's actions 6 affect the self-image that a child forms 7 identification. Children who see mainly positive qualities in their 8 will likely learn to see themselves in a positive way. Children who observe chiefly 9 qualities in their parents will have difficulty 10 positive qualities in themselves. Children may 11 their self-image, however, as they become increasingly 12 by peers groups standards before they reach 13. Isolated events, 13 dramatic ones, do not necessarily have a permanent 14 on a child's behavior. Children interpret such events according to their established attitudes and previous training. Children who know they are loved can, for example, accept the divorce of their parents or a parent's early 15 . But if children feel unloved, they may interpret such events as a sign of rejection or punishment.

Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension
Section A Directions:There are four passages in this section. Each passage is followed by five questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Passage 1 In its early history, Chicago had floods frequently, especially in the spring, making the streets so muddy that people, horses, and carts got stuck. An old joke that was popular at the time went something like this: A man is stuck up to his waist in a muddy Chicago street. Asked if he needs help, he replies, "No, thanks. I've got a good horse under me." The city planner decided to build an underground drainage (排水) system, but there simply wasn't enough difference between the height of the ground level and the water level. The only two options were to lower the Chicago River or raise the city. An engineer named Ellis Chesbrough convinced the city that it had no choice but to build the pipes above ground and then cover them with dirt. This raised the level of the city's streets by as much as 12 feet. This of course created a new problem: dirt practically buried the first floors of every building in Chicago. Building owners were faced with a choice: either change the first floors of their buildings into basements, and the second stories into main floors, or hoist the entire buildings to meet the new street level. Small wood-frame buildings could be lifted fairly easily. But what about large, heavy structures like the Tremont Hotel, which was a six-story brick building? That's where George Pullman came in. He had developed some house-moving skills successfully. To lift a big structure like the Tremont Hotel, Pullman would place thousands of jackscrews (螺旋千斤顶) beneath the building's foundation. One man was assigned to operate each section of roughly 10 jackscrews. At Pullman's signal each man turned his jackscrew the same amount at the same time, thereby raising the building slowly and evenly. Astonishingly, the Tremont Hotel stayed open during the entire operation, and many of its guests didn't even notice anything was happening. Some people like to say that every problem has a solution. But in Chicago's early history, every engineering solution seemed to create a new problem. Now that Chicago's waste water was draining efficiently into the Chicago River, the city's next step was to clean the polluted river.
2. The city planners were convinced by Ellis Chesbrough to ______.
A.get rid of the street dirt
B.lower the Chicago River
C.fight against heavy floods
D.build the pipes above ground

Passage 2 Most personnel managers agree that job interviews are one of the least objective recruitment methods. But the advantages of testing are not going to change the attraction of the interview to employers. The appeal of the interview has everything to do with the human factor. Most people believe that they are a reasonable judge of character and trust their instinctive feelings. We might use some kind of test to aid the selection process, but we usually pick a candidate who interviews well, has good qualifications and an impressive work record. But suppose the candidate lies or is less than completely honest, "This can be a serious problem of employers," explains Alan Conrad, Chief Executive at Optimus Recruitment. "The most difficult liars to find are those who tell half-truths rather than complete lies." Research shows that up to 75 percent of resumes are inaccurate on purpose. The most common practice is omission. Interviewer should therefore concentrate on areas of uncertainty such as gaps between periods of employment and job descriptions that seem strange. "Focusing on these areas will force candidates to tell the truth or become increasingly dishonest. This is usually when people signal their anxiety by their body language. Sweat on the upper lip, false smiles and nervous hand movements all indicate discomfort." Conrad does not suggest an aggressive policy-style interview technique, but insists that close inspection of a resume is absolutely essential. Only by asking the right questions can you confirm the suitability of the candidate or put pressure on those who are being less than completely honest.
2. The liars hard to recognize are those who tell ______.
A.complete truths

A
[解析] 推理判断题。根据第三段最后两句“Research shows that up to 75 percent of resumes are inaccurate on purpose. The most common practice is omission.”可推知,大约75%的应聘者会在简历上有意隐瞒一些信息。选项A中的leaving out和原文中omission同义。故选A。
4. In order to pick up a qualified and an honest candidate, Conrad suggests that we ______.
A.examine the resumes carefully

5. What is the author's attitude towards job interviews?
Passage 3 In the United States 84 colleges now accept just women. Most of them were established in the 19th century; they were designed to offer women the education they could not receive anywhere else. At that time major universities and colleges accept only men. In the past 20 years many young women have chosen to study at colleges that accept both men and women. As a result, some women's colleges decided to accept men students too. Others, however, refused to change. Now these schools are popular again. The president of Trinity College in Washington, D.C. said that by the end of the 1980s women began to recognize that studying at the same school with men did not mean women were having an equal chance to learn. The president of Smith College in Massachusetts says a women's college permits women to choose classes and activities freely. For example, she says that in a women's college a higher percentage of students studied mathematics than in a college with both men and women. Educational experts say men students in the United States usually speak in class more than women students do. In a women's college, women feel free to say what they think. Women's schools also bring out leadership capabilities in many women. Women are represented everywhere. For example, at a women's college a woman holds every governing office. Recent studies reportedly show that this leadership continues after college. The studies show American women who went to women's colleges are more likely to hold successful jobs later in life.
1. Why were women's schools started?

A.As time went on, they began to receive men students.
B.They became obsolete once upon a time, but now popular again.
C.They insisted on accepting only women students.
D.Those who remain only women's schools become popular now.
A B C D
D
[解析] 事实细节题。根据第一段最后两句“Others,however,refused to change. Now these schools are popular again.”可知,现在那些只接收女生的学校再度流行了起来。故选D。

A.Women have far more freedom in colleges for women only.

C.Women feel free to study what they are interested in a women's college.
D.Women can hardly compete with men in mathematics.
A B C D

4. What are the advantages of women's schools?
A.Women's schools can ensure that women can gain formal education.
B.Women's schools can guarantee that students have less competition.
C.Women's schools can offer more chances for women to bring out their potentials.
D.Women's schools can make students concentrate on their studies.

5. What was the attitude of the author towards women's schools?
Passage 4 In Britain there is a National Health Service (NHS) which is paid for by taxes and National Insurance, and in general people do not have to pay for medical treatment. Every person is registered with a doctor in his or her local area, known as a general practitioner(全科医生) or GP. This means that their names are on the GP's list, and they may make an appointment to see the doctor or may call the doctor out to visit them if they are ill. People sometimes do have to pay part of the cost of drugs that the doctor prescribes. GPs are trained in general medicine but are not specialists in any particular subject. If a patient needs to see a specialist doctor, they must first go to their GP and then the GP will make an appointment for the patient to see a specialist at a hospital or clinic. Although everyone in Britain can have free treatment under the NHS, it is also possible for him to have treatment done privately, for which he has to pay. Some people have private health insurance to help them pay for private treatment. Under the NHS, people who need to go to hospital may have to wait for a long time on a waiting list for their treatment. Anyone who is very ill can call an ambulance (救护车) and get taken to hospital for free urgent medical treatment. Ambulances are a free service in Britain.

Section B Directions:The following is a short passage about a letter of complaint. After reading the letter, you are required to complete each of the five statements within three words. The answers should be written on the Answer Sheet. Dear Manager, I am writing to you to complain about the service in your hotel. I had a terrible stay in room 2532 of Orange Hotel from the 16th to the 19th in March 2016 when I came to Beijing on business. Firstly, the air conditioner in my room could not operate properly. I asked your front house manager for help and she told me she would send someone to my room to check it immediately. No one came. As a result, I was very cold every time I was in the room. Secondly, I found the bathroom was dirty and the hot water was always cold. Thirdly, the noise at night was extremely loud and I found it difficult to sleep. I hope you will give immediate attention to the service in your hotel.

Part Ⅳ Translation Directions:You are required to read the following passage and translate the underlined sentences into Chinese. Remember to write your translation in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet. 1 I strongly believe that understanding is more important than love, especially when it comes to parenting and intimate relationships. As a psychologist for more than twenty years I can tell you that I have never had an adult looking back at her childhood and complaining that her parents were too understanding. And similarly, I have met many divorced people who still love each other but yet they never really understood each other. 2 The painful reality is that love is just not enough. 3 I'll admit that there are people who I love and who I still need to better understand. I hope I'll continue my work to understand them. 4 The willingness to understand is very important. 5 It is not always easy, but healthy love is strengthened by the willingness to understand. 6 Love without understanding will wilt like flowers without water.
