Passage One
Five or six years ago, I attended a lecture on the science of attention. A philosopher who conducts research in the medical school was talking about attention blindness, the basic feature of the human brain that, when we concentrate intensely on one task, causes us to miss just about everything else. Because we can’t see what we can’t see, our lecturer was determined to catch us in the act. He had us watch a video of six people tossing basketballs back and forth, three in white shirts and three in black, and our task was to keep track only of the tosses among the people in white. The tape rolled, and everyone began counting.
Everyone except me, I’m dyslexic, and the moment I saw that grainy tape with the confusing basketball tossers, I knew I wouldn’t be able to keep track of their movements, so I let my mind wander. My curiosity was aroused, though, when about 30 seconds into the tape, a gorilla (大猩猩)came in among the players. She (we later learned a female student was in the gorilla suit) stared at the camera, thumped her chest, and then strode away while they continued passing the balls.
When the tape stopped, the philosopher asked how many people had counted at least a dozen basketball tosses. Hands went up all over. He then asked who had counted 13, 14, and congratulated those who’d scored the perfect 15. Then he asked, “And who saw the gorilla?”
I raised my hand and was surprised to discover I was the only person at my table and one of only three or four in the large room to do so. He’d set us up trapping us in our own attention blind- ness. Yes, there had been a trick, but he wasn’t the one who had played it on us. By concentrating so hard on counting, we had managed to miss the gorilla in the midst.
21.This passage describes_______.
A. a basketball match B. an experiment C. a philosopher D. a gorilla
22.“Attention blindness” refers to _______.
A. the fact that one can’t see what one can’t see
B. seeing one thing while missing all else
C. keeping track of just about everything
D. the condition of being blind to details
23. “Catch us in the act” (Para. 1) is closest in meaning to “find us_______.”
A. doing something improper B. sleeping during the lecture
C. counting the basketball losses D. failing to notice something within sight
24. How many people in the room saw the gorilla in the video?
A. 1. B. 3 or 4. C. 13 or 14. D. 15.
25. Whom does “he” (last paragraph) refer to?
A. The author. B. The gorilla. C. The lecturer. D. The student.
Passage Two
There are few sadder sights than a pile of fan letters, lovingly decorated with hand drawing, suffering in a bin. The sparkly envelopes were addressed to Taylor Swift, a pop star much beloved by teenage and pre-teen girls.
“Dear Taylor,” read one discarded message, “I love you so much! You’re the best! And you’re really beautiful and cute! I’m really enjoying your songs.”
This, along with hundreds of other similar letters sent from around the world, was discovered in a Nashville recycling disposal unit by a local woman. Swift’s manager was quick to reassure her admirers that they had been thrown out accidentally. The response may come as a disappointment to any devotee who imagines, as they compose their letters, that Swift makes time to view each one personally.
Dealing with piles of fans mail is, however, an administrative burden for most celebrities. While some celebrities do like to go through their mail personally, the majority simply do not have time. But the fate of their correspondence is something most committed fans will not wish and dwell on, says Lynn Zubernis, an expert in the psychology of fandom at West Chester University.
“There’s this little bit of every fan that thinks theirs will be the one that stands out—it’s not an expectation, but a hope that theirs will be seen by the celebrity.”
While the relationship between the fan and the celebrity may exist only in the mind of the former, it stems from a deeply-rooted human need for community and belonging, Zubernis believes. As a result, even receiving a mass-produced letter of acknowledgement and a photo stamped with a reproduced signature can be a powerful experience.
“People have a tremendous need to connect with the person they are idolising (偶像化), ” she says. “They can’t ring them up and say, ‘Can we have coffee? ’ It’s not about the autograph (签名) , It’s about the moment of connection. ”
26. Which of the following statements is true?
A. The letters in the bin were exaggerating.
B. Some letters to Swift were thrown away unread.
C. A woman discovered the letters and discarded them.
D. Poorly decorated letters were left unread.
27. Swift’s manager claimed that_______.
A. Swift had read each one of the letters
B. fans could trust them with their letters
C. they were quick in response to the incident
D. they didn’t intend to throw away the letters
28. Most celebrities_______.
A. are too busy to read fan mail
B. are afraid of receiving fan mail
C. try their best to read fan mail themselves
D. care about the fate of fan mail
29. According to Zubernis, fans want their letters to be read because they _______.
A. hope to show their hand drawings
B. want the celebrities to see their talent
C. desire to get connected with the stars
D. dream of getting a photo of the stars
30. Which of the following will fans cherish the most?
A. The feeling of being related to their stars.
B. The sense of being similar to their stars.
C. The time spent with their stars.
D. The autograph of their stars.
Passage Three
Facelift (紧肤术) followed by a week on a beach in Thailand? Hip surgery with a side of shopping in Singapore? Over the last 10 years, Asia’s rise on the medical tourism scene has been quick. Eastern nations dominate the global scene. Now Bali wants a slice of the action.
The Indonesian island recently opened its first facility specifically targeting medical tourists with packages and services, Bali International Medical Centre (BIMC) Nusa Dua. BIMC already has an international hospital in Kuta, which opened in 1998.
The new internationally managed facility offers surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures and dental care.
Unlike most of the region’s hospitals, BIMC is designed to feel more like a spa or resort (度假村)than a medical facility.
The 50-bed hospital has a 24-hour medical emergency entrance and hotel-like lobby at the front of the building servicing the hospital’s medical, and dental centers.
If you’re a celebrity who doesn’t want everyone to know you’re here for a bit of lipo (吸脂术), no worries. There’s a private entrance that leads to the CosMedic Centre, which offers views of a golf course.
BIMC has even teamed up with the nearby Courtyard by Marriott Bali, which provides specific after-care services like tailor-made meals and wellness programs for patients.
Latest technology and cool interiors are a start, but breaking into a regional industry that already has some of the world’s top international hospitals will be tough, says Josef Woodman, CEO of U.S.-based medical travel consumer guide Patients Beyond Borders (PBB).
“As a newcomer, Bali faces stiff competition from nearby international healthcare providers. To compete, Bali will need to demonstrate a quality level of care and promote its services to the region and the world. On the positive side, Bali is blessed as one of the region’s safest, most popular tourist destinations, with a built-in potential to attract medical travelers.”
The Indonesian island couldn’t have picked a better time to get into the game, says PBB. “The world population is aging and becoming wealthier at rates that surpass the availability of quality healthcare resources,” says the company’s research.
31. What does “medical tourism” (Para. 1) probably mean?
A. Treating a disease during a trip.
B. Attracting patients with package tours.
C. Cosmetic treatment and a tour in one.
D. Turning hospitals into tourist attractions.
32. How does BIMC differ from regular hospitals?
A. It offers cosmetic surgery.
B. It has better environment and services.
C. It accepts international patients.
D. It has more beds and longer service hours.
33. BIMC wishes to attract celebrities with its_______.
A. privacy measures B. first-class design
C. free golf course D. tailor-made meals
34. According to Woodman, BIMC_______.
A. threatens its regional competitors
B. will soon take the lead in the industry
C. needs further improvement
D. faces both challenges and opportunities
35. What can be concluded from the last paragraph?
A. The population is developing faster than medical resources.
B. Healthcare is hardly available for the aging population.
C. The world is in need of more quality medical care.
D. The world population is becoming older and richer.
Passage Four
For many of us, asking for help is a difficult concept. We may feel as if we are admitting a weakness that the world would not have known about, had we not asked for help.
Ironically, it’s been my experience that people who are able to deliver well-positioned requests for help are seen as very strong individuals. When they demonstrate the humility (谦卑)to ask for help, they earn the respect of others. People who receive a heartfelt request for help are usually honored by the request. In turn, we are strengthened by the very help that is provided.
One of my clients (we’ll call her Kira) recently made a shift in how she was interacting with her boss. When asked to prepare presentations, she assumed that she was expected to go away, develop the content, deliver it at the required meeting and then wait for feedback from her boss. Her boss was highly regarded for the impact of his presentations, while Kira often felt that her presentations were lacking. When she took a hard look at how this approach was working for her, Kira recognized that she had not yet made use of her boss’s support. She could learn far more about creating attractive presentations by walking through a draft with her boss-focusing on the content plus her delivery-and obtaining feedback earlier in the process rather than at the back end. So she made the request for his support.
The outcome? Her boss was delighted to coach Kira and was enthusiastic about the opportunity to put into use his own strength by teaching presentation skills more effectively to her. By taking the time to work together on preparation for a number of Kira’s key presentations, she benefited from her boss’s thought process and was able to distinguish the critical components to enhance her own presentations. Kira’s presentations now have punch!
Some of us are uncomfortable asking for help because we believe that our request places burdens on the other person. Ironically, we may be missing an opportunity to show others how we value and respect them. People who know you and think well of you are often highly motivated to help. Furthermore, the more specific you can be about what you need from them, the easier it is for them to assist you.
36. Many people are unwilling to ask for help because they _______.
A. are confident of themselves
B. do not trust other people
C. are ashamed of doing so
D. do not think it necessary
37.Which of the following may the author agree with?
A. Asking for help means admitting weaknesses.
B. Helping others is helping oneself
C. Well-positioned requests for help are welcomed.
D. Weak people often need more help.
38. Kira’s request for help_____.
A. turned out rewarding B. was turned down
C. led to her promotion D. benefited her boss in return
39. “Kira’s presentations now have punch” means her presentations are_____.
A. forceful B. controversial
C. well received D. highly motivating
40. The purpose of the passage is to_____.
A. illustrate how to ask for help
B. show the importance of mutual help
C. call for attention to others’ requests
D. encourage people to ask for kelp
Section B
Directions: In the following text, some sentences have been removed. For Questions 41-45, choose the most suitable one from the list A-E to fit into each of the numbered blanks. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET.
A fascinating new study reveals that Americans are more likely to call their children “intelligent,” while European parents focus on happiness and balance.
Here’s what one parent had to say about the intelligence of her 3-year-old, which was apparent to her from the very first moments of her life:
“I have this vivid memory, when she was born, of them taking her to clean her off... And she was looking all around... She was alert from the very first second... I took her out when she was six weeks old to a shopping mall to have her picture taken- people would stop me and say, “What an alert baby.” One guy stopped me and said, “Lady, she was an intelligent baby.”
Not only are Americans far more likely to focus on their children’s intelligence and cognitive skills, they are also far less likely to describe them as “happy” or “easy” children to parent.
“The U.S.’s unhealthy interest in cognitive development in the early years overlooks so much else,” the researchers told us.
Comment 1:
Probably indicates more about differences in cultural attitudes towards humility and boasting than about parenting styles. Here in the Netherlands if someone called their child “intelligent” I’d be rolling my eyes, both because it’s probably biased and overstated and because it’s just a rotten thing to draw attention to; as if it’s all about whose child is “Better”. Life isn’t that much of a damn contest to us.
Comment 2:
Agreed! That would apply in Sweden too. Parenting is more focused on the child’s well-being than social competition (there may be pressures here too, but it is not socially acceptable to express those things).
Comment 3:
I agree and I live in the U.S. Parent’s opinions of their children’s intellect are definitely bias-ed and overstated. It is the most annoying thing to listen to. Being “advanced” at a young age has little if anything to do with their ability to learn as they get older and EVERY child is a genius if you give them a chance and an ear to listen to them. The happier the kid is, the smarter they will be. Happy and healthy is key.
41. The passage is mainly concerned with cultural differences in _____.
A. bringing up one’s children B. describing one’s children
C. social contests D. choosing a place to live in
42. The word “alert” (Para. 3) is closest in meaning to “_____.”
A. intelligent B. easy-going
C. quick at noticing things D. happy
43. According to Comment 1, in the Netherlands, calling one’s own child “intelligent” is_____.
A. boasting B. acceptable C. encouraging D. reasonable
44. What nationality is the writer of Comment 2?
A. Dutch. B. American. C. Swedish. D. French.
45. All of the following are true of Comment 3 EXCEPT that _____.
A. it agrees with all the other comments
B. being happy and healthy is important
C. being intelligent at a young age makes no sense
D. children’s intellect varies from person to person

Paper Two 试卷二
Part VI Translation (20 minutes, 10 points)
Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese. Write your answer on the Answer Sheet.
Being unhappy is like an infectious disease. It causes people to shrink away from the sufferer. He soon finds himself alone and miserable. There is, however, a cure so simple as to seem, at first glance, ridiculous: if you don’t feel happy, pretend to be!
It works. Before long you will find that instead of pushing people away, you attract them. You discover how deeply rewarding it is to be the center of wider and wider circles of good will.
Then the make-believe becomes a reality. Being happy, once it is realized as a duty and established as a habit, opens doors into unimaginable gardens filled with grateful friends.

被采访者：那是肯定的。但是纽约不像伦敦这么混居。所有的民族都有自己的区域。比如有俄罗斯区、德国区和中国城。但我认为这两座城市最大的区别是房子的高度。在纽约什么都在高处，我们就住在35楼。当然纽约的一切节奏更快，而且纽约人也更粗鲁，不讲礼貌。
采访者：哦，粗鲁在哪方面了?
被采访者：嗯，在街上你推我挤，争抢着上公交车，而且不像伦敦那样做事排队，当时还有出租车司机!纽约的出租车司机肯定是世界上最粗鲁的!

Part III Reading Comprehension
Section A
Passage One
【文章介绍】
本文记叙了自己亲身经历的一次关于注意盲点话题的演讲和实验，并指出注意盲点是人类大脑的基本特征，当我们全力集中于一项任务时，我们往往会忽略掉其它几乎所有的事情。
21. 【答案】B
【考点】主旨概括
【解析】 文章描述了什么?
通读全文，可以得知作者着重描述演讲者为证明演讲的主题，现场和听众做了一次互动性的实验。因此B项“一次实验”符合题意。
【误项排除】A项“一场篮球比赛”、C项“一位学者”、D项“一只大猩猩”都只是原文的细节点，不是论述的重点。
22. 【答案】B
【考点】语义推断
【解析】 “Attention blindness”是什么意思?
根据文中该词的下文，可以得知，Attention blindness是人类大脑的基本特征，当我们全力集中于一项任务时，我们往往会忽略掉其它几乎所有的事情，即：注意盲点。因此选B“关注于一件事的同时会忽略其它事情”。
【误项排除】A项“我们无法看到我们看不到的东西的这个事实”、C项“关注于几乎所有的事情”、D项“忽略细节的情况”，这三项都不符合。
23. 【答案】D
【考点】语义推断
【解析】 与“Catch us in the act”意思最接近的是哪个?
“Catch us in the act”是一个固定搭配，意思是“当场抓住某人，抓住某人正在做某事”根据原文，可以得知这是学者在演讲中有意设计的一次实验，并当场让学生参与其中，从而证明其演讲主题：注意盲点是使得人们在关注于一件事的同时会忽略其它事情。因此选D项“发现没有注意到我们视力范围内的一些事情”。
【误项排除】A项“发现我们做一些不合适的事情”和B项“发现我们在演讲中睡着了”，文章没有涉及;C项“发现我们在计数投球的次数”，与原文不符合。
33. 【答案】B
【考点】细节推断
【解析】 “房间里有多少人看到了视频中的大猩猩”?
根据文章的最后一段的第一句，可以得知整个房间里注意到大猩猩的只有三四人，我是当中一个，因此选B。
【误项排除】其它三项不符合题意。
25. 【答案】C
【考点】细节推断
【解析】 最后一段中的he指的是谁。
从该词出处的上一句，可以得知是他有意设计，并在我们的注意盲视中抓了个现行。而该句：确实，这有些恶作剧，但是他不是在我们身上玩弄恶作剧的人。他就是指演讲家，因此选C。
【误项排除】A项“作者”、B项“大猩猩”和D项“学生”，都不符合原文。
【参考译文】
五六年以前，我听过一次关于注意力知识的讲座。在医学院从事研究工作的一位学者，在演讲中谈论到注意盲视的问题，这是人类大脑的基本特征，当我们全力集中于一项任务时，我们往往会忽略掉其它几乎所有的事情。因为我们无法看到我们看不到的东西，演讲者决定当场实验一次。他让我们看一段视频，视频中有6个人在来回不断地投篮球，其中3人身穿白色衬衣，另外3人身穿黑色衬衣。分配给我们的任务是只关注于身穿白色衣服的人投球的情况。磁带开始转动，大家开始计数。
每个人都在计数，除了我之外。我有阅读障碍，一看到带有条纹的磁带伴随着那令人晕头转向的投篮球的人，我就知道我无法专注于他们的动作，于是我的注意力分散了。但是在磁带播放了约30秒钟时，一只大猩猩出现在投球的人员当中，这激发了我的好奇心。她(我们事后才知道是一位女学生穿着大猩猩毛色的服装扮演的)盯着摄相机镜头，用力捶打自己的胸脯，然后大步走开了。与此同时，投球的人还在继续传球。
当磁带停止转动时，学者问大家有多少计数出至少12下传球。我身边的人都举起了手。他接着又问谁数到了13下、14下，并祝贺那些数出准确数字15下的人。然后，他又问到：“有谁看到了大猩猩?”
我举起了手，并惊讶地发现我是我们那一桌人当中唯一举手的人，整个房间里注意到大猩猩的只有三四个人，我是当中一个。学者有意设计这次实验，并在我们的注意盲视中抓了个现行。确实，这有些恶作剧，但是他不是在我们身上玩弄恶作剧的人。由于全神贯注于计数，我们就会错过当中出现的大猩猩。

【文章介绍】本文主要通过名人对粉丝来信的处理揭示名人和粉丝之间的关系。
25. 【答案】B
【考点】细节判断
【解析】 下面哪种说法是正确的?
文章第三、四段指出：斯威夫特的经理人立即向这些崇拜者们做出了回应，并保证这些信件是被意外丢失的，接着说尽管一些明星确实喜欢自己阅读自己的邮件，但大部分的明星没有时间。可以推断选B项 “写给斯威夫特的一些信件没有被被就扔掉了”
【误项排除】A项“垃圾箱里的信件太夸张”、C项“一个女人在发现这些信件后并丢弃了他们”、D项“装饰不好地信件都未被读”，这三项不符合原文。
26. 【答案】D
【考点】细节考查
【解析】 斯威夫特的经理人声明了什么?
文章第三段第二句提到：斯威夫特的经理人向崇拜者们保证这些信件是被意外丢失的，因此选D项“他们并不是有意要扔掉这些信件的”。
【误项排除】A项“斯威夫特阅读了每一封信”和B项“粉丝把自己的信件托付给他们”文章没有提及;C项“针对这件事，他们快速地做出了回应”，这不是其声明的内容。
27. 【答案】A
【考点】细节推断
【解析】 大多数名人是怎么样的。
文章第四段第二句提到：尽管一些明星确实喜欢自己阅读自己的邮件，但大部分的明星没有时间。因此选A项“因太忙没有时间阅读粉丝的邮件”。
【误项排除】B项“害怕收到粉丝的邮件”、C项“尽最大努力亲自阅读粉丝们的邮件”、D项“关心粉丝来信的命运”，这三项原文都没有提及。
28. 【答案】C
【考点】引申推断
【解析】 泽布尼斯认为粉丝们期待自己的信件能被名人读到的原因是什么?文章的最后一段提到：泽布尼斯说人们极其渴望与他们的偶像联系在一起，因此选C项“渴望和明星取得联系”。
【误项排除】A项“希望展示他们的手绘图画”、B项“想让名人看到他们的才能”、D项“梦想能获行明星的照片”，这三项原文都没有提及。
29. 【答案】A
【考点】引申推断
【解析】 什么是粉丝们最珍惜的?
文章的最后两段提到：粉丝和名人的关系存在于粉丝们的心中，他们极其渴望与他们的偶像联系，因此选A项“感受到与自己崇拜的明星有关系”。
【误项排除】B项“和崇拜的明星有着类似的感受”C项“和崇拜的明星一起度过的时光”、D项“所崇拜的明星的签名”，这三项均与原文不符合。
【参考译文】
没有比这更让人伤心的景象了：一大堆粉丝亲手绘画的可爱信件被扔进了垃圾箱。这些耀眼的信都是寄给一位备受十来岁少女喜爱的流行歌曲明星：泰勒·斯威夫特。
“亲爱的泰勒，”被丢弃的一封信中写道，“我非常喜欢你!!你是最棒的!!你真的很漂亮，也很可爱!我真的很喜欢你的歌。”
这封信件，和其他从世界各地寄来的类似的数百封信件被当地的一位妇女在Nashville 的一个可回收废品站发现的。斯威夫特的经理人立即向这些崇拜者们做出了回应，并保证这些信件是被意外丢失的。这种回应对于任何一个在写信时想象着斯威夫特能抽时间亲自看看的信徒来说都是一种失望。
然而对于大多数明星来说，处理成堆地粉丝信件是一种管理上的负担。尽管一些明星确实喜欢自己阅读自己的邮件，但大部分的明星没有时间。然而，西切斯特大学的心理学专家林恩· 泽布尼斯在研究狂热爱好者的心理学时，发现大部分忠诚的粉丝不愿思考自己的信件是如何被对待这个事实。
“几乎每一个粉丝认为自己的信件是最独特的那一封—这不是一种期待，而是一种希望，希望自己的信件被名人看到。”
在泽布尼斯看来，尽管粉丝和名人的关系可能只存在粉丝们的心中，但却是根源于根深蒂固的人类对社区和归属感的需要。因此，即使收到大量的感谢信件和一张印有签名印章的照片都是一种非凡的体验。
“人们极其渴望与他们的偶像联系在一起，”她说，“他们无法给自己的偶像打电话说，‘我们可以一起喝咖啡吧?’这不是签名的问题，这是粉丝和偶像产生联系的重要时刻。”

31. 【答案】C

【解析】 “medical tourism”可能的是什么意思?

【误项排除】A项“在旅途中治病”、B项“用包价旅游服务吸引病人”、D项“把医院变成旅游地”，这三项与原文都不符合。
31. 【答案】B
【考点】细节推断
【解析】 巴厘国际医疗中心与普通的医院有什么区别?
文章第四段提到：巴厘国际医疗中心要让顾客觉得这不只是一家医疗机构，更是一个旅游胜地或度假村同时;同时文章倒数第二段指出：为了竞争，巴厘必须展示出高质量的医疗服务，并同时提高为当地甚至是全世界的服务水平。因此选B项“它有更好的环境和服务”。
【误项排除】A项“它提供美容手术”、C项“它接收国际病人”、D项“它提供更多的床位和更长时间的服务”，这三项是很多医疗机构的共同点，不符合题意。
32. 【答案】A
【考点】细节考查

文章第六段提到：如果你是名人，不想让他人知道你到此来是为了做吸脂术，不要担心，该机构有专门的隐蔽入口会带领你到达美容医疗中心，在那你可以看到高尔夫球场的的风景。可以推断出名人很关注自己手术隐私的保密性。因此选A项“保护隐私措施”。
【误项排除】B项“一流的设计”和C项“免费的高尔夫球场”文章没有涉及，D项“量身订做的饭菜”是为所有病人提供的服务，不是吸引名人的措施。
33. 【答案】D
【考点】细节推断
【解析】 伍德门认为巴厘国际医疗中心怎么样?
文章最后三段提到：巴厘国际医疗中心提供的最新的技术和优良的内部设施只是个起点，要成功进入当地区域已有部分世界顶尖的国际医院的这一行业，将困难重，这是挑战。文章最后一句：世界人口正在老龄化和人们变得越来越富有的速度，超过了优质的医疗服务资源的提供能力。说明有巨大的需求市场，这是机遇。因此选D项“同时面临着挑战和机遇”
【误项排除】A项“威胁当地的竞争对手”、B项“将很快在该行业取得领先地位”、C项“需进一步改善”，这三项都不符合题意。
34. 【答案】C
【考点】引申推断
【解析】 从最后一段可以得出什么?
文章最后一段提到：世界人口正在老龄化和人们变得越来越富有的速度超过了优质的医疗服务资源的提供能力。说明医疗资源满足不了市场需求。因此选C项“世界需要更多优质的医疗保健服务”。
【误项排除】A项“人口增长的速度比医疗资源更快”、B项“老龄化人口几乎得不到服务的医疗保健”、D项“世界人口正在老龄化，人们也越来越富有”，这三项都不符合题意。
【参考译文】
在泰国的沙滩上度假一周再做个紧肤术?在新加坡做臀部手术的同时在那购物?在过去的10年中，亚洲的医疗旅游业增长迅速。东方国家在该行业占主导地位，而现在巴厘岛要想在这一行业中分得一份。
最近，印度尼西亚岛开放了第一个专门针对医疗旅游者而提供的一系列旅游服务的机构：努沙杜亚巴厘国际医疗中心。在1998年，该机构在库褡岛开办了一个国际医院。
这个全新国际化管理的医疗机构不仅为顾客提供外科和非外科的美容治疗，而且还提供牙科保健服务。
与当地大多数医院不同，巴厘国际医疗中心要让顾客觉得这不只是一家医疗机构，更是一个旅游胜地或度假村。
拥有50个床位的医院，在大楼的前部设有24小时开放的医疗紧急入口处和酒店般的候诊厅，为医院医疗中心和牙科中心提供服务。
如果你是名人，不想让他人知道你到此来是为了做吸脂术，不要担心，该机构有专门的隐蔽入口会带领你到达美容医疗中心，在那你可以看到高尔夫球场的的风景。
巴厘国际医疗中心甚至还跟附近的巴厘努沙杜亚万怡酒店合作，该酒店提供特殊的出院后服务，比如为病人提供订做的饭菜和康体计划。
约瑟夫·伍德门，美国医疗旅游消费者指导机构“患者无国界”的执行总裁，说道最新的技术和优良的内部设施只是个起点，要成功进入当地区域已有部分世界顶尖的国际医院的这一行业，将困难重重。
作为新手，巴厘需面对来自附近一带的国际医疗机构的激烈竞争。为了竞争，巴厘必须展示出高质量的医疗服务，并同时提高为当地甚至是全世界的服务水平。从积极方面来看。巴厘的最大优势是：巴厘被认为是当地最安全、最受欢迎的旅游胜地之一，通过内在的潜力吸引医疗旅游者。
“患者无国界”认为印度尼西亚岛选择了一个绝好的时机进入到这一行业中。该公司的研究显示，“世界人口正在老龄化，和人们变得越来越富有的速度超过了优质的医疗服务资源的提供能力。”
Passage Four
【文章介绍】本文主要介绍了向别人寻求帮助的问题。

36. 【答案】C
【考点】细节推断
【解析】 作者可能同意下面那句话?
作者在第二段中明确指出自己的观点，认为求助是对别人的尊重，所以是积极的态度。所以答案选C项“提出恰当求助请求的人是受欢迎的”。
【误项排除】A项“承认自己弱点”，B项“帮助他人就是自助”，D项“脆弱的人需要更多帮助”都不符合本段意思。
37. 【答案】A
【考点】细节推断
【解析】 基拉的求助怎样?
基拉从老板处寻求帮助，结果自己的水平获得了提高，这个例子说明求助是有回报的。所以答案选A项“结果令人满意而又有收益”。
【误项排除】B项“被拒绝”，C项“获得升职”，D项“对老板有利”都不符合本段意思。
38. 【答案】A
【考点】语义推断
【解析】 “Kira’s presentations now have punch!”的意思是她的报告怎么样?基拉 通过老板的帮助，提高了报告的质量。按照这个意思，“Kira’s presentations now have punch!”就意味着她的报告更有说服力，所以答案选A项“有说服力”。
【误项排除】B项“有争议”，C项“可接受”，D项“激励人”都不符合本段意思。
39. 【答案】D
【考点】写作目的
【解析】 文章写作目的是什么?
基拉 通过老板的帮助，提高了报告的质量。按照这个意思，“Kira’s presentations now have punch!”就意味着她的报告更有说服力，所以选择答案选A项“有说服力”。
【误项排除】B项“有争议”，C项“可接受”，D项“激励人”都不符合本段意思。
【参考译文】
对很多人而言，求助是一个困难的主意。我们会认为这是在承认自己的弱点，如果不求助，这个弱点就不会展现出来。
很讽刺的是，以我的经验，能有效传达求助的人被认为是能力很强的。当他们展现谦卑，寻求帮助后，他们也赢得了他人的尊重。收到真诚求助的人们也会为此感到荣幸。相应的，我们也会因为别人提供的帮助而壮大实力。
我的一个客户(我们称为基拉)最近在和老板的沟通上就有了转变。当被要求准备报告时，她估计自己应该出去自己找内容并按照要求提交到会议上，并等待老板的反馈。她老板对自己的报告展示质量高度认可，这也正是基拉认为自己的报告缺乏的。当她再次审视自己一直采用的途径时，她意识到自己还没有运用好老板的支持。她可以通过同老板拟定份草稿，关注内容和呈现方式的形式，在整个过程中一点点得到老板的反馈，而不是到最后阶段才得到。因此她提出了得到支持的需求。
结果?老板很乐意教她，还十分热情地寻求机会将自己的力量投入到如何更有效地教基拉关于报告的技能。通过一段时间共同努力帮助基拉做出一些关键报告以后，基拉从老板的思维中获益良多，也能辨认出提升报告质量的关键因素。她的报告现在十分有说服力。
一些人对寻求帮助感到不舒服，因为我们以为这会给别人带来负担。令人讽刺的是，我们可能失去一个向他人展示珍视并尊重他们的机会。理解你并看好你的人经常会很有动力帮助你，并且，你提出的需求越具体，他们就越容易帮你。

【文章介绍】本文是一篇博客跟帖文章，主要讲述不同国家的人对孩童的描述用词揭示的文化态度不同。
40. 【答案】B
【考点】主旨概括
【解析】 文章主要关注哪些方面的文化的差异?
本文主要讲述不同国家的人对孩童的描述用词揭示的文化态度不同。所以选答案B项“描述孩子”。
【误项排除】A项“养育孩子”，C项“社会竞争”，D项“选择生活居住地”都不符合本段意思。
41. 【答案】C
【考点】语义推断
【解析】 第三段的“alert” 与下面的个选项意思最接近。划线前后说孩子很警醒，很机灵。所以选答案C项“关注力强的”。
【误项排除】A项“聪明的”，B项“和蔼的”，D项“开心的”都不符合本段意思。
42. 【答案】A
【考点】细节推断
【解析】本题问的根据评论一，在荷兰，夸自己孩子聪明会怎样?
根据评论三第二句在荷兰，如果有人称自己的孩子‘聪明’，我会翻白眼，因为这是有偏见的、夸大的说法，同时也是不值得关注的、老掉牙的说法，仿佛全世界都关注于谁家的孩子更好。所以选答案A项“自夸”。
【误项排除】B项“可接受的”，B项“鼓舞人心的”，D项“合理的”都不符合本段意思。
43. 【答案】C
【考点】细节推断
【解析】本题问的评论2的作者的国籍是哪国?
根据评论二第一句 同意。在瑞典也是这样。所以选答案C项“瑞典人”。
【误项排除】A项“荷兰人”，B项“美国人”，D项“法国人”都不符合本段意思。
44. 【答案】D
【考点】细节推断
【解析】本题问的根据评论三下面正确的除了?
评论三中提到我同意。我也生活在美国父母对孩子智力作用夸大的观念中。这听上去真令人厌烦。小时候超前与长大以后的学习能力没什么关系。如果你给每个孩子机会并倾听他们的心声，每个孩子都是天才。孩子越快乐，他们就越聪明。快乐和健康是关键。所以选答案D项“孩子的智慧因人而异”符合题意。
【误项排除】A项“同意其他的评论”，B项“快乐贺健康是重要的”，D项“小时候聪明是没有意义的”都不符合本段意思。
【参考译文】
一个有趣的新研究显示，美国人更有可能夸孩子聪明，而欧洲人则更关注快乐与平衡。
下面是一个家长谈到她3岁孩子的智慧，这显然是她生命开始的阶段：
“我还清晰记得，当她出生时被带去清洗---她四处张望---从第一秒开始，她就很警觉---她六周的时候我就带她去了商场，给她照相---人们拦住我说，这孩子太机灵了。其中一个说，这孩子是聪明的孩子。”
美国人不仅仅更关注孩子的智慧和认知能力，同时他们不太会用‘快乐’或者‘轻松’来描述他们。
“对儿童早期认知发展不健康的关注使人忽视了其他很多事情”，研究者们说。
评论1：
或许这更多展示了对谦虚和自夸文化的态度方面，与父辈的不同之处。在荷兰，如果有人称自己的孩子‘聪明’，我会翻白眼，因为这是有偏见的、夸大的说法，同时也是不值得关注的、老掉牙的说法，仿佛全世界都关注于谁家的孩子更好。生活对于我们而言并不一定意味着竞争。
评论2：
同意。在瑞典也是这样。比起社会竞争来，父母更关注孩子的健康(这里也有压力，但是如果表达出来，子啊社会上是不被接受的)。
评论3：
我同意。我也生活在美国父母对孩子智力作用夸大的观念中。这听上去真令人厌烦。小时候超前与长大以后的学习能力没什么关系。如果你给每个孩子机会并倾听他们的心声，每个孩子都是天才。孩子越快乐，他们就越聪明。快乐和健康是关键。

【短文大意】本文介绍了学校图书馆的设施、藏书和借阅规则。
62.【答案】C
【解析】根据空格后的facilities“设施”，可以得知此处所需一个词做定语来修饰facilities。三个选项中能做定语的只有 library和collections，而名词做定语时不能用复数形式;同时通读该短文，可以得知本文在介绍图书馆，因此C项在在结构和语意上符合全文。
63.【答案】A
【解析】根据空格后的five books，可以得知此处所填的词要能修饰表示数量的five books。A项 up to“多达”、“直到”通常用来修饰数量的词，因此选A。
64.【答案】B
【解析】根据空格处所在的语句，可以得知此句中的house是谓语动词，意思是“把…储藏在房内”，而此处所填的词是humanities and map修饰的中心词，且做house的宾语，因此B项的名词collections“收集”、“收藏”符合题意。
65.【答案】A
【解析】从空格前面的This tour will可以得知该语句缺少谓语和宾语，且谓语动词需用原形，从而可以先排除C选项。再根据文章的内容，空格后都是在介绍学校图书馆的具体内容，此处需填一句概括性语句，因此A项“向你介绍我们学校的图书馆设施”符合原文。
66.【答案】C
【解析】空格前的Level one说明此处缺少谓语和宾语，且根据全文所用的一般现在时，空格处的谓语动词需用第三人称单数，因此C项“存放人文学科和地图藏书”符合原文。
67.【答案】B
【解析】分析空格处的语句成份，可以得知此处缺少谓语和宾语，且谓语动词需用原形。根据句意，B项“最多借阅5本书”不仅在语法上符合，并与下文的Graduate students can check out fifteen books for two months构成对称，逻辑合理，句意通顺。

【短文大意】本文主要阐述了英语学习者应该如何对待母语发音的干扰并提出了自己建议。
68.【答案】D
【解析】根据空格处的identify which specific areas of pronunciation______可以得知which引导的从句做identify的宾语，从句中specific areas of pronunciation名词性短语做主语，空格处缺少谓语和宾语，根据主语的中心词areas 是复数形式，谓语动词需用复数形式，从语法结构上只有D项符合，且语意通顺。意为“明确发音的哪些方面会给他们造成最大困扰”。
69.【答案】B
【解析】根据空格处的give you some things可以得知所填的词是做things的定语，从语法结构上只有A和B两个不定式短语符合。但填入A项时，语意不符合。 B项give you some things to think about，“给你一些事情来思考”，things是think about的逻辑宾语，语法和语意都符合。
70.【答案】A
【解析】此处考查结构：make it + 形容词 +(for sb.)+ 不定式，it做形式宾语，不定式是真正的宾语，而sb.是真正宾语的逻辑主语。需要填入不定式结构做make的真正宾语，因此选A。意为“让本土人很难理解的发音”。
71.【答案】C
【解析】分析空格处的语句可以得知，focus on accent reduction是一个动宾结构，所填的词要能做focus on 的宾语并与 accent reduction并列，需要一个名词性结构，因此选C。意为“集中于减少口音，而不是消除口音”。
72.【答案】B
【解析】此处考查结构：let sb. do sth.“让某人做某事”，但是从4个选项无法区分。结合文章内容，主要阐述了英语学习者应该如何对待母语发音的干扰的问题并给出了建议。根据空格后First…. Second, ….的内容结构可以推知此处需填入概括性的语句，因此选B。
73.【答案】D
【解析】解答该题的关键在于空格后的非限制性定语从句：which is virtually impossible，“这实质上是不可能的”。根据句意只有D项符合原文，即：消除口音是不可能的。
74.【答案】C
【解析】空格处的语句中：that is提示了该句是对上一句的解释。根据上文：学生应该致力于减少会影响话语理解的发音，这些发音也就是让本土人很难理解的口音，因此选C。
75.【答案】A
【解析】根据上文，作者提出了建议：英语学习者应该要致力于减少影响本土人理解的口音，那么接下来就是应该如何做了。因此选A意为“学生要能够明确发音的哪些方面会给他们造成最大困扰”。
【参考译文】
许多将英语作为第二语言的学习者们都很关心如何消除自己的口音，但在你想尽办法并花费数百美元去参加最新的语音课程之前，我提供一些建议让你来思考。首先，任何语音课程的主要目标应该是集中于减少口音，而不是消除口音，要消除口音是不可能的。相反，学生们应该要致力于减少那些影响话语理解的发音，即：让本土人很难理解的口音。其次，有了这个目标后，学生要能够明确发音的哪些方面会给他们造成最大困扰。当然，对于特定的语言群体来说，会有发音的共性问题，分析这些共性有助于学习发音。
