Passage One Botany, the study of plants, occupies a peculiar position in the history of human knowledge. For many thousands of years, it was one field of awareness about which humans had anything more than the vaguest of insight. It is impossible to know today just what our Stone Age ancestors knew about plants, but from what we can observe of pre-industrial societies that still exist, a detailed learning of plants and their properties must be very ancient. This is logical. Plants are the basis of the food pyramid for all living things, even for other plants. They have always been enormously important to the welfare of people, not only for food, but also for clothing, weapons, tools, dyes, medicines, shelter, and a great many other purposes. Tribes living today in the jungles of the Amazon recognize literally hundreds of plants and know many properties of each. To them, botany, as such, has no name and is probably not even recognized as a special branch of "knowledge" at all. Unfortunately, the more industrialized we become, the farther away we move from direct contact with plants, and the less distinct our knowledge of botany grows. Yet everyone comes unconsciously on an amazing amount of botanical knowledge, and few people will fail to recognize a rose, an apple, or an orchid. When our Neolithic ancestor, living in the Middle East 10,000 years ago, discovered that certain grasses could be harvested and their seeds planted for richer yields the next season, the first great step in a new association of plants and humans was taken. Grains were discovered and from them flowed the marvel of agriculture: cultivated crops. From then on, humans would increasingly take their living from the controlled production of a few plants, rather than getting a little here and a little there from many varieties that grew wild—and the accumulated knowledge of tens of thousands of years of experience and intimacy with plants in the wild would begin to fade away.
1. Which of the following assumptions about early humans is expressed in the passage?______
A.They probably had extensive knowledge of plants.
B.They thought there was no need to cultivate crops.
C.They did not enjoy the study of botany.
D.They placed great importance on the ownership of property.
A B C D
A
[解析] 第一段第三句提到“... but from what we can observe of pre-industrial societies that still exist, a detailed learning of plants and their properties must be very ancient.”,通过对工业化以前的社会的观察可知人们对植物以及其性质的详细了解可能非常古老,由此可以推测,早期人们可能对植物有广博的知识,A项为正确答案。
2. Why did the ancient people want to learn plants?______
A.They wanted to establish a pyramid.
B.They thought it was logical to learn plants.
C.Their life was closely connected with the plants.
D.Plants means wealth to them.
A B C D
C
[解析] 文章在解释为什么对于植物的了解可以追溯到很古老的时候时,提到“Plants are the basis of the food pyramid for all living things ... They have always been enormously important to the welfare of people”,植物是所有生物的食物基础,而且对于各民族的福利非常重要。只有C项符合原文。其他选项均是对文章的误读,故排除。
3. According to the passage, general knowledge of botany has begun to fade because ______.
A.people no longer value plants as a useful resource
B.botany is not recognized as a special branch of science
C.researches are unable to keep up with the increasing number of plants
D.direct contact with a variety of plants has decreased
4. The author mentions "a rose, an apple, or an orchid" in order to ______.
A.make the passage more poetic
B.cite examples of plants that are attractive
C.give botanical examples that all readers will recognize
D.illustrate the diversity of botanical life
A B C D
C
[解析] 第二段第二句提到“Yet everyone comes unconsciously on an amazing amount of botanical knowledge, and few people will fail to recognize a rose, an apple, or an orchid”,很少有人不认识玫瑰、苹果、兰花等是因为我们可能在不知不觉中学到了有关植物的知识,C项为正确答案。
5. According to the passage, the first great step toward the practice of agriculture was ______.
A.the invention of agricultural implements and machinery
B.the discovery of grasses that could be harvested and planted
C.the development of a system of names for plants
D.the changing diets of early humans
A B C D
B
[解析] 第二段第三句提到“the first great step in a new association of plants and humans was taken”,故the first great step指的就是前面的内容,也就是“discovered that certain grasses could be harvested and their seeds planted for richer yields the next season”,即先辈们收获某些草籽来年再种并获得更好的收成,故B项为正确答案。
6. The relationship between botany and agriculture is similar to the relationship between zoology (the study of animals) and ______.
Passage Two My new home was a long way from the centre of London but it was becoming essential to find a job, so finally I spent a whole morning getting to town and putting my name down to be considered by London Transport for a job on the tube. They were looking for guards, not drivers. This suited me, I couldn't drive a car but thought that I could probably guard a train, and perhaps continue to write my poems between stations. The writers Keats and Chekhov had been doctors. T.S. Eliot had worked in a bank and Wallace Stevens for an insurance company. I would be a tube guard. I could see myself being cheerful, useful, a good man in a crisis. Obviously I would be overqualified but I was willing to forget about that in return for a steady income and travel privileges—those being particularly welcome to someone living a long way from the city centre. The next day I sat down, with almost a hundred other candidates, for the intelligence test, I must have done all right because after half an hour's wait I was sent into another room for a psychological test. This time there were only about fifty candidates. The examiner sat at a desk. You were signaled forward to occupy the seat opposite him when the previous occupant had been dismissed, after a greater or shorter time. Obviously the long interviews were the more successful ones. Some of the interviews were as short as five minutes. Mine was the only one that lasted a minute and a half. I can remember the questions now: "Why did you leave your last job?" "Why did you leave your job before that?" "And the one before that?" I can't recall my answers, except that they were short at first and grew progressively shorter. His closing statement, I thought, revealed a lack of sensitivity which helped to explain why as a psychologist, he had risen no higher than the underground railway. "You have failed the psychological test and we are unable to offer you a position." Failing to get that job was my low point, or so I thought, believing that the work was easy. Actually, such jobs—being a postman is another one I still desire—demand exactly the sort of elementary yet responsible awareness that the habitual dreamer is least qualified to give. But I was still far short of full self-understanding. I was also short of cash.
1. The writer applied for the job because ______.
A.he could no longer afford to live without one
B.he wanted to work in the centre of London
C.he had received suitable training
D.he was not interested in any other available job
2. The writer thought he was overqualified for the job because ______.
A.he had written many poems
B.he often traveled underground
C.he had worked in an insurance company
D.he could deal with difficult situations
A B C D
D
[解析] 他自认为他的资历足以应付这份工作了,所以选项D“他可以处理复杂的工作”为正确答案。
3. The length of his interview meant that ______.
A.he had not done well in the intelligence test
B.he was not going to be offered the job
C.he had little work experience to talk about
D.he did not like the examiner
A B C D
B
[解析] 面试时间很短表示对方对作者不感兴趣,也说明别人不会给他提供工作,故选择B项。
4. What was the writer's opinion of the psychologist?______
A.He was inefficient at his job.
B.He was unsympathetic.
C.He was unhappy with his job.
D.He was very aggressive.
A B C D
B
[解析] 第三段中作者提到“a lack of sensitivity”,心理学家结束面试时直接说“你没通过测试,我们不能给你提供工作”,直截了当,完全不顾面试者的感受,也就是表示那位心理学家没有什么同情心。
5. What does the writer realize now that he did not realize then?______
A.How difficult it can be to get a job.
B.How unpleasant ordinary jobs can be.
C.How badly he did in the interview.
D.How unsuitable he was for the job.
A B C D
D
[解析] 第四段倒数第二句表明作者非常缺乏自知之明。故选D项。
Passage Three The average number of authors on scientific papers is sky rocketing. That's partly because labs are bigger, problems are more complicated, and more different subspecialties are needed. But it's also because U.S. government agencies have started to promote "team science". As physics developed in the post-World War Ⅱ era, federal funds built expensive national facilities, and these served as surfaces on which collaborations could crystallize naturally. Yet multiple authorship—however good it may be in other ways—presents problems for journals and for the institutions in which these authors work. For the journals, long lists of authors are hard to deal with in themselves. But those long lists give rise to more serious questions when something goes wrong with the paper. If there is research misconduct, how should the liability be allocated among the authors? If there is an honest mistake in one part of the work but not in others, how should an evaluator aim his or her review? Various practical or impractical suggestions have emerged during the long standing debate on this issue. One is that each author should provide, and the journal should then publish, an account of that author's particular contribution to the work. But a different view of the problem, and perhaps of the solution, comes as we get to university committee on appointments and promotions, which is where the authorship rubber really meets the road. Half a lifetime of involvement with this process has taught me how much authorship matters. I have watched committees attempting to decode sequences of names, agonize over whether a much-cited paper was really the candidate's work or a coauthor's, and send back recommendations asking for more specificity. Problems of this kind change the argument, supporting the case for asking authors to define their own roles. After all, if quality judgments about individuals are to be made on the basis of their personal contributions, then the judges better know what they did. But if questions arise about the validity of the work as a whole, whether as challenges to its conduct or as evaluations of its influence in the field, a team is a team, and the members should share the credit or the blame.
1. According to the passage, there is a tendency that scientific papers ______.
A.are getting more complicated
B.are dealing with bigger problems
C.are more of a product of team work
D.are focusing more on natural than on social sciences
A B C D
C
[解析] 第一段中讲到论文作者的数量的增加与团队科学有关。故选C项。
2. One of the problems with multiple authorship is that it is hard ______.

B.to decide on how much contribution each reviewer has made
C.to assign the roles that the different authors are to play
D.to correspond with the authors when the readers feel the need to
A B C D
A

3. According to the passage, authorship is important when ______.
A.practical or impractical suggestions of the authors are considered
B.appointments and promotions of the authors are involved
C.evaluators need to review the publication of the authors
D.the publication of the authors has become much-cited
A B C D
B
[解析] 第三段提到涉及作者的任命和晋升时,著作权是非常重要的。故选B项。
4. According to the passage, whether multiple authors of a paper should be taken collectively or individually depends on ______.
A.whether judgments are made about the paper or its authors
B.whether it is the credit or the blame that the authors need to share
C.how many authors are involved in the paper
D.where the paper has been published
A B C D
A
[解析] 文章最后一段说明针对作者和针对论文本身的评价应该是分开的,视情况而定。故选项A正确。
5. The best title for the passage can be ______.
A.Writing Scientific Papers: Publish or Perish
B.Collaboration and Responsibility in Writing Scientific Papers
Passage Four Both civilization and culture are fairly modern words, having come into prominent use during the 19th century by anthropologists(人类学家), historians, and literary figures. There has been a strong tendency to use them interchangeably as though they mean the same thing, but they are not the same. Although modern in their usage, the two words are derived from ancient Latin. The word civilization is based on the Latin civis, of a city. Thus civilization, in its most essential meaning, is the ability of people to live together harmoniously in cities, in social groupings. From this definition it would seem that certain insects, such as ants or bees, are also civilized. They live and work together in social groups. So do some microorganisms. But there is more to civilization, and that is what culture brings to it. So, civilization is inseparable from culture. The word culture is derived from the Latin verb colere, till the soil. But colere also has a wider range of meanings. It may, like civis, mean inhabiting a town or village. But most of its definitions suggest a process of starting and promoting growth and development. One may cultivate a garden; one may also cultivate one's interests, mind, and abilities. In its modern use the word culture refers to all the positive aspects and achievements of humanity that make mankind different from the rest of the animal world. Culture has grown out of creativity, a characteristic that seems to be unique to human beings. One of the basic and best-known features of civilization and culture is the presence of tools. But what's more important than their simple existence is that the tools are always being improved and enlarged upon, a result of creativity. It took thousands of years to get from the first wheel to the latest, most advanced model of automobile. It is the concept of humans as toolmakers and improvers that differentiates them from other animals. A monkey may use a stick to knock a banana from a tree, but that stick will never, through a monkey's cleverness, be modified into a hook or a ladder. Monkeys have never devised a spoken language, written a book, composed a melody, built a house, or painted a portrait. To say that birds build nests and beavers(海狸) their dens is to miss the point. People once lived in caves, but their cleverness, imagination, and creativity led them to progress beyond caves to buildings.
1. What does the author think of the words "civilization" and "culture"?______
A.They are identical.
B.They are different concepts.
C.They can often be used interchangeably.
D.They are defined differently by different people.
Section B Directions: In this section, you are required to read several excerpts from newspapers and/or magazines. These excerpts are followed by four 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. Excerpt 1: Sales of e-readers surged during the Christmas holiday season, according to a Pew Research Center report, which showed that the number of adults in the United States who owned tablets nearly doubled from mid-December to early January. Excerpt 2: Apple, based in Cupertino, California, controls 73 percent of the market, while Samsung Electronics Co., Sony Corp. and Toshiba Corp. are among companies making constant improvements on tablets without bringing services that cut into the market share, Sarah Rot-man Epps, an analyst at Forrester, said in the report. Excerpt 3: Under Square's year-long pilot program, an iPad would be installed in the space where Taxi TVs currently sit, and the driver would have an iPhone to process credit-card payments. The technology would allow drivers to accept a passenger's card at any point during the ride, then enter the amount later. The system charges drivers less in credit card transaction fees than the current rates. Excerpt 4: When Apple introduced the iPad tablet computer in 2010, it was doing what it likes to do best: creating a new category to dominate, as it had done with the iPod and iPhone. By the end of the year, the company had sold nearly 15 million iPads, generating about $ 9.5 billion in revenue. Just two years later, the chief executive of Apple, Timothy D. Cook, has a prediction: the day will come when tablet devices like the Apple iPad outsell traditional personal computers. Excerpt 5: Apple has made its first attempt to quantify how many American jobs can be credited to the sale of its iPads and other products, a group that includes the Apple engineers who design the devices and the drivers who deliver them—even the people who build the trucks that get them there. On Friday, the company published the results of a study it commissioned saying that it had "created or supported" 514,000 American jobs. The study is an effort to show that Apple's benefit to the American job market goes far beyond the 47,000 people it directly employs here. Excerpt 6: People who read e-books on tablets like the iPad are realizing, that while a book on a black-and-white Kindle is straightforward and immersive, a tablet offers a menu of distractions that can fragment the reading experience, or stop it in its tracks. E-mail lurks tantalizingly within reach. Looking up a tricky word or unknown fact in the book is easily accomplished through a quick Google search. And if a book starts to drag, giving up on it to stream a movie over Netflix or scroll through your Twitter feed is only a few taps away.
1. What is said about Apple Inc. with its tablet devices like iPads?______
A.It doubled its sale of e-readers during the Christmas season.
B.It controls 73 percent of the tablet device market.
C.It charges customers less in credit card transaction fees.

2. Which of the following choices involves the creation of tablet devices and its possible replacement of Taxi TVs?______
A.Excerpt 1 and Excerpt 5.
B.Excerpt 3 and Excerpt 4.
C.Excerpt 2 and Excerpt 6.
D.Excerpt 3 and Excerpt 5.
A B C D
B
[解析] 根据Excerpt 3中的“an iPad would be installed in the space where Taxi TVs currently sit”可知,将来人们将会把ipad安装在出租车上;而Excerpt 4中也提到“creating a new category to dominate, as it had done with the iPod and iPhone”,即创造一个新的产品来主导市场,就如iPod和phone一样。综合可知B项符合题意。
3. Tablet devices can miraculously perform many functions but they also cause the problem of ______.
A.its rivals succeeding in cutting into the market share
B.failing to process credit-card payments with an iPhone
C.e-book readers being distracted from their normal reading
D.misleading the trucks that get them to the tablet market

There are over 450 million cubic miles of sea water on the earth, and each cubic mile contains over 150 million tons of minerals. So vast and so pervasive is the sea that if the earth's crust were made level, ocean water would form a blanket over 8,000 feet deep. The oceans contribute immeasurably to the earth's life support system as well as provide an untapped storehouse of food, minerals, energy and archaeological treasure. The deep sea is the last frontier left to explore.

My View on a Famous Chinese Saying
There is an old Chinese saying that people often quote, "Give me a fish and I'll eat for a day; teach me how to fish and I'll eat for a lifetime." From this saying we can know that if one is given a fish, he can live on it only for a short period of time; if one is taught ways of catching fish, he will benefit from them for a lifetime. This famous saying is popularly quoted because it has a profound implication. It tells us a truth that it's inadequate to donate something to the people who live in poverty. If we want to enable them to live a better life, it is really an effective method to provide them with techniques by which they can keep helping themselves. The implication of this saying can be illustrated by many impressed examples. A good case is that nowadays many corporations and individuals contribute money not only to the poor, but also to schools in order to provide them more chances to be educated. Only in this way can the poor break away from their awful conditions. Altogether, let's remember this instructive saying and learn more from it.
