A college education is completely necessary for each of us,but we have to ask what it 41 to get into college?High school grades and standardized tests are still the most common measurements.42 this information is often considered alongside other sources of information,other indicators of college potential are typically not considered if high school grades and standardized test scores don't reach acertain 43.

Even though standardized test scores do predict 44 performance and job performance,relying so heavily on these scores is problematic

45 a number of reasons.For one,studies have found that the SAT is abetter predictor of college performance for white students.46 reason is that other key skills are neglected that contribute to life success,defined more 47 than merely the capacity for academic learning,including active learning 48,natural motivation,social-emotional intelligence,imagination,and creativity.

PARTⅣ READING COMPREHENSION

(45minutes,30points,1point each)

Directions:In this part of the test,there are five short passages.Read each passage carefully,and then do the questions that follow.Choose the best answer from the four choices given and mark the corresponding letter with asingle bar across the square brackets on your machine-scored Answer Sheet.

Passage One

A year ago,my boss announced that our large New York ad agency would be moving to an open office.After nine years as asenior writer,I was forced to trade in my private office for aseat at along,shared table.It felt like my boss had ripped off my clothes and left me standing in my underwear.

However,about70percent of U.S.offices now have no or low partitions.Silicon Valley has been the leader in bringing down the dividers.Google,Yahoo!and American Express are all adherents.Facebook designed the largest open floor plan in the world,housing nearly3,000engineers.

These new floor plans are ideal for maximizing acompany's space while minimizing costs.Bosses love the ability to keep acloser eye on their employees,ensuring movie-watching,constant social media-browsing and unlimited personal cellphone use isn't occupying billing hours.

While employees feel like they're part of arelaxed,innovative enterprise,the environment ultimately damages workers'attention spans,creativity and satisfaction.Furthermore,a sense of privacy boosts job performance,while the opposite can cause feelings of helplessness.In addition to the distractions,my colleagues and Ihave been more vulnerable to illness.Last flu season took down asuccession of my co-workers like dominoes.

As the new space intended,I've formed interesting,unexpected bonds with my colleagues.But my personal performance at work has hit an all-time low.Each day,my associates and Iare seated at atable staring at each other,having an ongoing12-person conversation from9a.m.to5p.m.Those who have worked in private offices for decades have proven to be the most noisy and tough.They haven't had to consider how their loud habits affect others,so Ican only work effectively during times when no one else is around,or if Iisolate myself in one of the small,constantly sought-after,glass-windowed meeting rooms.

To make the open-office model work,employers have to take measures to improve work efficiency.For one,they should create more private areas—ones without open windows.Also,they should implement rules on when interaction should be limited.And please,let's eliminate the music that blankets our workspaces.Companies could simply join another trend—allowing employees to work from home.That model boosts productivity,with employees working more hours and taking fewer breaks.There are fewer interruptions when employees work remotely.At home,my greatest distraction is the refrigerator.

51.Which of the following is true according to the first two paragraphs?

A.The author enjoyed working in an open office.

B.This open-office model has gained popularity.

C.Companies are compelled to shift to an open office.

D.Google and Yahoo!refuse to go along with the trend.

52.Large open floor plans can help bosses to.

A.reduce investment in research

B.show movies to workers in the office

C.supervise co-workers'conversations

D.restrict the use of personal cell phones

53.According to Paragraph4,an open office.

A.can benefit workers'mental health

B.brings no relaxation to workers at all

C.adversely affects productivity and health

D.contributes to better productivity

54.It can be concluded from Paragraph5that in an open office.

A.fellow workers are likely to spend along time talking

B.one's personal performance can be improved easily

C.work efficiency can be ensured amid frequent interaction

D.most of the workers can easily become close friends

55.The last sentence of this passage suggests that the author.

A.can hardly concentrate on his work at home

B.often suffers from the noise of the refrigerator

C.works more efficiently at home than in the open office

D.has nobody to talk to while working at home

56.The central idea of this passage is that the open-office model.

A.should be highly recommended

B.is destroying the workplace

C.is more of ablessing than acurse

D.proves to be quite innovative

Passage Two

The mosquito-borne Zika virus,which has spread to22countries in the Americas,is terrifying to pregnant women and their partners.The virus may cause birth defects in babies whose mothers were infected during pregnancy.In Brazil more than4,000have been born with abnormally small heads since last October,compared with fewer than200in atypical year.The response of several governments has triggered adebate about abortion and birth control which may outlast the outbreak itself.

It started after some governments advised women to delay getting pregnant.Colombia,which has the second-highest number of infections after Brazil,advised women to wait six to eight months.Jamaica issued asimilar recommendation,even though no cases of Zika have yet been reported there.El Salvador's government suggested that women should delay pregnancy until2018.Panama warned women from vulnerable communities not to conceive.

Some women find this advice rather bossy.Others say that governments have done little to help women control their fertility.A lobby group in New York notes that rates of teenage pregnancy in Latin America are among the world's highest,as56%of pregnancies in Latin America and the Caribbean are unintended.

Rates of accidental pregnancy are high because sex education is inadequate and birth control is hard to come by.Health workers are reluctant to prescribe contraceptives to teenagers or to women who have not yet given birth.If women are to avoid pregnancy,governments must inform them better and provide more access to contraception for both men and women.

Some argue that the Zika crisis should prompt countries to liberalize policies that severely restrict abortion.In El Salvador,which does not allow abortion even if awoman's life is at risk,activists are stepping up their campaign for achange in the law.A Brazilian newspaper argued that Brazil should end its ban on most abortions.

Rather than calling on women to delay pregnancy,Brazil is sensibly concentrating its efforts on the mosquito responsible,which also carries dengue and yellow fever.The country had stamped out the threat by1958but let down its guard and allowed it to return.The health minister announced that insect repellent will be distributed to400,000expectant mothers.Some310,000health workers are teaching people how to keep mosquitoes at bay.Following WHO guidelines,Brazil advises women contemplating pregnancy on how to avoid getting bitten by mosquitoes.Women need facts,not fertility targets.

57.The first paragraph is primarily concerned with.

A.the harm done by the Zika virus

B.abortion and birth control

C.the response of some countries

D.the origin of the Zika virus

58.The rate of infections with the Zika virus is the highest in.

A.Colombia

B.Brazil

C.Jamaica

D.Panama

59.Rates of accidental pregnancy are high in Latin America because of the following except.

A.insufficient sex education or information on pregnancy

B.the reluctance to prescribe contraceptives to teenagers

C.poor accessibility of birth control for men and women

D.the extremely low rate of marriage in some countries

60.Which of the following is true according to this passage?

A.Abortion is strictly prohibited in the whole of Latin America.

B.Activists in El Salvador are fighting for the right to abortion.

C.Brazil has managed to eliminate the mosquito responsible.

D.Most women have been convinced of the advice by governments.

61.The underlined words in the last paragraph probably mean.

A.stay away from mosquitoes

B.try to make mosquitoes extinct

C.confine mosquitoes to the beach

D.culture some new mosquitoes

62.Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage?

A.How to Contain the Zika Virus?

B.Health During Pregnancy.

C.To Breed,or Not to Breed.

D.Measures of Birth Control.

Passage Three

After ajury convicted ex-Virginia Governor,Bob McDonnell,I wrote an oped

calling attention to the"real stars"of the McDonnell case.It is easy to get distracted by the sensational details of the new case,but it would be better to focus on the big picture.

American politicians face aharsh reality.The average Senate campaign costs more than$10million!Point the FBI(Federal Bureau of Investigation)at any elected official,and Isuspect it can uncover acontributor who received special treatment:A meeting with staff here,a call to an agency there.None of it is necessarily illegal.

Americans are not only allowed to give money to politicians.The Supreme Court has said they have aconstitutional right to spend money on campaigns.Elected officials,in turn,have the freedom to decide which calls they answer,what meetings they arrange,how to craft legislation and whom it benefits.

It could be,then,that what sets McDonnell apart from other politicians is not the alleged illegality of his conduct,but that the FBI took such ahard look at him.Thankfully,the FBI's interest doesn't appear to be political.More likely,agents became interested in these cases like they get interested in lots of things;they happened upon public corruption while looking into something else.The FBI reportedly was investigating Jonnie Williams'company for securities fraud when it stumbled upon his gifts to McDonnell.

There are two important lessons here,one for politicians and one for the rest of us.The politicians need to distance themselves from their rich donors.Ethics aside,it is simply too risky to take contributions and gifts from people whose interests you intend to advance.Better to lose an election than to go to federal prison.

Everyone else should start thinking about prosecutorial power to act.It's bad enough that our political system seems to be populated with criminals.We should also worry about how prosecutors choose among them to decide whom to imprison.

Random selection,which appears to explain the McDonnell case,is the least of our worries.The real concern is politically motivated prosecutions,which are made all too easy in asystem flush with cash and regulated by flexible public corruption laws.Sadly in apay-to-play political system,once FBI agents direct their investigative power at aparticular politician,the likelihood of afederal accusation may only depend on how hard they look.

63.In the first paragraph,"the big picture"probably refers to.

A.the details of the McDonnell case

B.the political system in the US

C.the economic situation in the US

D.other officials involved in this case

64.Which of the following is true about the McDonnell case?

A.McDonnell has turned out to be innocent.

B.He gave expensive gifts to Jonnie Williams.

C.The FBI happened to find his criminality.

D.The FBI's investigation is politically motivated.

65.The lesson that politicians should learn from the case of McDonnell is to.

A.stay away from wealthy donors

B.work in the interests of rich donors

C.forget about ethics when with rich donors

D.make friends with many rich donors

66.The last paragraph implies that in the American political system.

A.there are few corrupt politicians

B.money plays aminor role

C.random selection is abig concern

D.it is easy to spot cases of corruption

67.This passage is primarily concerned with in the United States.

A.ways to keep governance clean

B.the responsibilities of the FBI

C.the political corruption problem

D.the role of money in legal matters

68.The attitude of the author towards the American political system is.

A.curious

B.critical

C.appreciative

D.indifferent

Passage Four

The fourth and final article from Sheryl Sandberg and Adam Grant in The New York Times'"Women at Work"series appeared today;it is as misguided as the previous three have been,bordering on offensive.Do we really need Sandberg telling men that if they do aload of laundry now and then,they might get lucky?Yes,that is an exact point in the article.To quote:A man was asked by his wife one night to do aload of laundry.He picked up the basket and asked hopefully,"Is this Lean In laundry?"

The bigger issue with the entire New York Times series is that rather than focusing on the abilities of women,all they've done is offer studies and statistics pointing out how bad things are,then asking men to change that.It is so disappointing that Sandberg and Grant keep repeating the same point—"Hey,guys,help the poor girls out!"They continue to tell men that they should do more office chores,let women speak at work,use the same criteria for evaluating female managers as male ones.It's all about men and what they need to do to boost up ladies.

The tone of these articles also implies that every successful woman was somehow given ashot by some man.Most successful women Iknow weren't given anything.They earned it.And when they didn't get it even after earning it,they struggled and seized it.It is so unproductive for women to repeat that the workplace needs to change to reward us.How about if women change?Why don't

we start behaving in ways that will get us rewarded in the workplace?

Whenever Ispeak or write about equality for women in the workplace,I never address what men need to do differently.Men have no incentive to do anything differently.This system is working for them,and if women want to compete in male-dominated fields,we need to develop the instincts and attitudes that will get us rewarded in those fields.Women don't have to"behave like men,"but we can make the changes needed to be recognized and promoted without asking them for the scraps.We should not stamp our feet and demand that men help us get there.After all,no woman has to lean in when she's standing at the head of the table.

69.What does the author of this passage think of the article mentioned in the first paragraph?

A.Misleading.

B.Instructive.

C.Amusing.

D.Paradoxical.

70.The author believes that the problem with this New York Times series is that it.

A.overemphasizes mutual help between males and females

B.elaborates on the advantages of males over females

C.suggests the two sexes be evaluated in the same way

D.ignores what women can do for themselves

71.The main idea of the third paragraph is that.

A.women have to adapt to the work environment

B.there is aman behind each successful woman

C.workplace should be changed to reward women

D.women become successful on their own

72.In the last paragraph,the author of this passage suggests that.

A.men start to do things differently for women's sake

B.women ask men for help whenever necessary

C.women become independent and self-reliant

D.women stop competing with men at work

73.Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage?

A.Women—Stop"Leaning"and Start Leading.

B.Men—Be Helpful at Home and at Work.

C.Men and Women—Who Is Superior?

D.Men and Women—How Different Are They?

74.The author seems to be these articles by Sheryl Sandberg and Adam Grant.

A.interested in

B.critical about

C.convinced by

D.encouraged by

Passage Five

Imagine aworld without alcohol sponsorship of sport and without drinks ads on TV.You're imagining France,the country with aheavy drinking rate one sixth that of Ireland.It's acountry where there is agenuinely sensible and mature approach to alcohol—with arange of regulations for the alcohol industry.

To be certain,people drink in France—there is alcoholism and serious issues for public health there,just as in other societies where alcohol is available—but in France,the trend is downward and heavy drinking isn't agroup activity where getting drunk is the objective.

The drinks industry in Ireland is pitilessly efficient and deeply rational—like any multi-billion euro industry,knowing how to get people to drink more,how to grow amarket,how to cultivate the next generation of drinkers and how to put them on the value addition conveyor belt.

The economics of drinking is strikingly obvious.A massive diversity of products at amassively wide range of prices,with astaggering diversity of lifestyle messages and marketing approaches to segment and divide the market.We start with the young drinkers,who don't have awhole lot of money—for young men there're the thin aluminum can beers which promise European sophistication and precious metals.For the ladies there are the lighter alcopops and coolers,which promise to have one laugh uncontrollably into the night with your equally attractive mid-twenties friends,often with athree-for-two offer.

The next stage in the process is to get the drinker into the bottled beers and shift the ladies towards whiskey.In the summer,everyone is encouraged to dedicate time to quenching the thirst with juice—and to move on from there.At each life stage there is ahigher-value drink product targeted at our aspirations and an encouragement to get some of the good life.

The drinks industry reminds us to tame our animal side with atrip to their website saying that"enjoying adrink may be part of Irish culture…"and,at the start of an article on the possible health benefits of cutting down on alcohol,states:"Lots of people associate moderate drinking with relaxation and fun."

The drinks industry needs young drinkers—it cultivates drinkers as early as possible,but it cultivates partners and harvests goodwill as well.

75.Which of the following statements is true about France?

A.No one consumes an excessive amount of alcohol.

B.There are no strict regulations for the alcohol industry.

C.Sport can be sponsored by alcohol producers.

D.There are no TV commercials related to alcohol.

76.The underlined words in Paragraph3imply that the drinks industry in Ireland.

A.cares about the health of consumers

B.is good at boosting sales of alcohol

C.has enjoyed quite high productivity

D.tries to make money by illegal means

77.Paragraphs four and five are focused on the drinks industry.

A.the economics employed by

B.the wide range of products of

C.various lifestyle messages from

D.health benefits associated with

78.The drinks industry has been working hard to increase its sales by.

A.telling consumers the truth about the harm of alcohol

B.encouraging consumers to use the same drink product

C.targeting at young drinkers exclusively and relentlessly

D.matching each stage of life with aparticular type of drink

79.The central idea of this passage is that in Ireland.

A.the drinks industry cares about sales,not you

B.alcoholism is aserious social problem

C.there is an abundant supply of drink products

D.people should learn from their French neighbors

80.The author's tone in writing this passage is.

A.appreciative

B.supportive

C.ironic

D.objective

Directions:Put the following paragraph into Chinese.Write your Chinese version in the proper space on Answer SheetⅡ.

The analysis of creative people and creative objects has demonstrated that most scientific and artistic innovations emerge from joint thinking,passionate discussions,and shared struggles among different people,emphasizing the importance of the social dimension of creativity.Interpersonal interactions are not only indispensable but central to social creativity.On the other hand,people participate in such collaborative inquiry and creation as individuals who need time to think or reflect about their contributions to social inquiry or creativity.Complex design problems seldom fall within the boundaries of one specific domain;therefore,they require the participation and teamwork of different people with various backgrounds,who speak to make their unique voice heard.
