14．（10分）

Asleep on a plane： a case for window seats

I love to sleep on planes， and I have an unusual ability to sleep well on them． There

have even been one or two occasions （1） I have fallen asleep before takeoff and

awakened upon the impact of landing， not having realized we had even left the ground． So

when （2）（book） my flights， I always choose the window seat whenever

possible． This allows me to lean my sleepy head against the wall of the plane for a bit （3）

（much） comfort．

Some （4） argue that the aisle （走廊） seat is superior for the leg space and the

ability to get

off swiftly and eye the snack cart． But in reality， we're all getting our drinks and snacks

（5） seconds． Also， I find that if a person knows he's in a window seat， he'll

choose to use the bathroom before boarding so that he （6）（not need） to disturb

his neighbor， which is just considerate． And he'll seize the opportunity to get up when

another seatmate gets up so that the seatmate needn't （7）（bother） more than once．

As a photographer and visually oriented person， the window seat gives me the best views

of cottony clouds， or a great sunset， or golden sunrise， etc． Most of all，（8） I've

been flying for years， I still get pleasure of seeing my departing city or country （9）

（shrink） into the distance， and the butterflies in my stomach when I see the horizon of my

destination come into view． And those feelings of adventure and excitement are （10）

keep me coming back， flight after flight， to my window seat．

Section BDirections： Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each

word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

15．（10分）

Beyond Mobile Money： The Future of Asia's FinTech

Mobile money has been the hottest part in financial technology for the last few

years． But FinTech is more than just how people store money and transact（交易）﹣ the

space is much more horizontal， shortcutting how we create， share， and protect value．

The latest product of FinTech companies to （1） in Asia Pacific illustrates the

many ways the space can help consumers beyond just their mobile wallet． It is important for

all businesspersons to be aware of these trends， as their success opens up all sorts of

possibilities for companies to （2） with them． And， on a much deeper level，

new FinTechs may （3） consumer expectations in even other tech industries．

The Smartphone Emerges as a Credit﹣Scoring Standard

With close to half a billion （4） consumers in Southeast Asia alone， there is an

entire industry of FinTechs devoted to finding ways to accurately determine their credit﹣worthiness to give them （5） to finance． Unfortunately， since they don't have bank

accounts， such FinTechs cannot rely on （6） financial information or credit card

payments．

One credit scoring source emerging as a new standard in the field is smartphone﹣based

credit scoring． It has （7） broad global support， including from the likes of the

World Bank． In one of its reports， the Asian Development Bank even stated that mobile data

was a key to financial （8）， as it could improve customer recording， and， in turn，

get an access to credit．

AI Combines with the Wisdom of the Crowd

The most common slogan in today's tech headlines is the "artificial

intelligence"． Readers are fascinated with how AI has the （9） to transform every

consumer and enterprise （企业） industry． While such focus is appropriate that AI will （10）

change the world， it leaves out a crucial element that will go hand﹣in﹣hand with its rise：

the wisdom of the crowd．

III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections： For each blank in the following passag，

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.

16．（15分）Endangered languages can be found throughout the world． Many languages now have

fewer than 100 or even fewer than 10 speakers． The crisis is not limited to remote regions of

the world． When Europeans first arrived in North America，312 different languages were

（1）， of which 123 are now known to be extinct． Of the （2） languages，

most speakers are grandparents and great﹣grandparents．

Different researchers offer different definitions of "endangered"． The system of （3）

used by the Catalogue of Endangered Languages evaluates languages in four areas： the （4）

of all the speakers， how often the language is conveyed to the next （5）， the rate

at which it is losing speakers and the（6） in which it is used． Based on this data，

languages are ranked on a six﹣point scale from "safe" to "severely endangered．" The

midpoint， "endangered" refers to a language with between 100 and 1，000 speakers who

represent about half of the language's community or ethnic group．The language is spoken only

by some parents， of whom very few teach it to their children． It is （7） used at home

and is not taught in schools or used for government business．

Languages become endangered due to a number of （8） factors including

globalization， economics， technology， education policy， and changes in （9）

attitudes． As the forces of globalization make the world more interconnected， previously

（10） language communities come under pressure to participate in a larger economy，

which means learning the area's majority language．（11），local schools often begin

to teach the majority language instead of the local tongue．Local languages also （12）

as communities adopt mobile phones and computers， most of which run on software that has

been translated into only a handful of languages． This trend （13） as these devices

connect users to the Internet． At this point， many communities undergo a cultural （14）

in which parents no longer value the language enough to teach it to their children．

Initiatives to （15） endangered languages have become more numerous in recent

years． These efforts tend to focus on two main areas： the documentation of endangered

languages， and efforts to increase the use of endangered languages among younger speakers

and in the community at large．

（1）A． at hand

（2）A． ancient

（3）A． assessment

（5）A． committee

Section BDirections： Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several

C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you

have read.

17．（8分）Many of China's ancient architectural treasures smashed to dust before Lin Huiyin and

Liang Sicheng began documenting them in the 1930s． The husband and wife team were

among the first preservationists to operate in China， and by far the best known． Their efforts

have since inspired generations of people to speak out for architecture threatened by the rush

toward development．

Becoming China's best architectural historians was no easy accomplishment． The

buildings they wanted to save were centuries old， located in distant parts of the country． In

many cases， they had to journey through dangerous conditions in the Chinese countryside to

reach them． Exploring China's remote areas during the 1930s meant traveling muddy， poorly

maintained roads by mule（骡子）or on foot． Inns were often dirty， food could be polluted，

and there was always risk of violence from rebels， soldiers and robbers．

Their greatest discovery was the Temple of Buddha's Light， in Wutai County， Shanxi

Province． The

breathtaking wooden temple was built in 857 A．D．， making it the oldest building known in

China at the time．

Liang and Lin crawled into the temple's most forbidding， forgotten areas to determine its

age， including one hideaway inhabited by thousands of bats and millions of bedbugs，

covered in dust and littered with dead bats． "In complete darkness and among the awful

smell， hardly breathing， with thick masks covering our noses and mouths， we measured，

drew， and photographed with flashlights for several hours． When at last we came out to take

a breath of fresh air， we found hundreds of bedbugs in our bag． We ourselves had been badly

bitten． Yet the importance and unexpectedness of our find made those the happiest hours of

my years hunting for ancient architecture．" Liang wrote of the experience in an account

included in "Liang and Lin： Partners in Exploring China's Architectural Past．"

（1）On their way to the ancient buildings in 1930s， Liang and Lin faced following risks

EXCEPT ．

A． accommodations

B． personal security

C． road conditions

D． vehicles

（2）Liang and Lin raised public awareness of ．

A． documenting smashed historical buildings

B． rebuilding historically valuable buildings

C． saving the oldest temples in China

D． protecting historical buildings

（3）While exploring the Temple of Buddha's Light，．

A． Liang and Lin caught insects with awful smell

B． Liang and Lin were forbidden to breathe inside

C． Liang and Lin were pleased at something unhoped for

D． Liang and Lin determined its age by studying bedbugs' hideaway

（4）Which of the following is the best title for the passage？

A． Creativeness results in discovery

B． Difficulty produces achievement

C． Efforts contribute to happiness

D． Responsibilities make development

19．（8分）①Risk is something we face daily． However， some people are obviously more

willing to take risks than others．

②Biologists appear to have discovered a physical reason that explains why some people are

risk﹣takers．Dopamine is a neurotransmitter， a chemical that spreads signals between nerve

cells． It is linked to the brains reward system and is the chemical that makes us feel good，

and scientists believe it to be linked to risk﹣taking． Our nerve cells have dopamine

receptors（接收器） which control the amount of dopamine that each cell receives． But

not all receptors may be active． When a person has few active receptors to control the amount

of dopamine that is received， a cell can become flooded resulting in an extreme feeling of

happiness．

③Researchers at Vanderbilt University and Albert Einstein College of Medicine asked 34 men

and women to complete a questionnaire about their risk taking to assess whether they seek new

opportunities or are cautious in life． The results of the research were consistent with similar

studies carried out with rats， and had the same outcome． It concluded that people who are

risk﹣takers have fewer dopamine receptors than people who are not． This suggests that the

rush of pleasure a risk taker receives when a cell becomes flooded with dopamine can become

addictive for some people． They therefore pursue new and exciting activities in order to try to

repeat this feeling， and as a result their concern for risk becomes considerably reduced．

④Dopamine gives us a biological reason for risk﹣taking， but scientists believe there may be

psychological reasons too． Sensation﹣seeking is a personality characteristic that describes

the desire to find activities that bring us pleasure． In 1964， psychologist Marvin Zuckerman

created the sensation﹣seeking scale． His 40﹣item questionnaire， still used today， was

given to people who were active in seeking new activities， and to people who were more

satisfied with a quiet life． While risk﹣taking is not a characteristic in itself， it is very much

associated with sensation﹣seeking， as a high sensation﹣seeker does not evaluate risk in the

same way that a low sensation﹣seeker does． A desire to achieve pleasure means that there is

a greater willingness to take more risks．

⑤There are both biological and psychological explanations as to why some people may

choose to take

more risks than others． However， none of these explanations are definitive．

（1）If a person has fewer active dopamine receptors，．

A． he is less likely to feel happy

B． he is more willing to take risks

C． he will eventually become dopamine﹣addictive

D． he is poorer at controlling the amount of dopamine

（2）The underlined phrase "consistent with" is closest to " " in meaning．

A． contrary to

B． in agreement with

C． at the cost of

D． persistent in

（3）What can be concluded from paragraph 4？

A． The longing for pleasure may lead to risk taking．

B． A willingness to take more risks can be cultivated．

C． The sensation﹣seeking scale can help to evaluate risk．

D． High sensation﹣seekers are more common than low ones．

（4）This passage mainly talks about ．

A． when we learn to take risks

B． how risk﹣taking benefits us

C． what makes risk﹣takers

D． why we should take risks

Section CDirections： Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence

given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more

sentences than you need.

20．（8分）

A． Many options require city﹣level investment in new facilities．

B． However， it is not yet clear which technologies and fuels cities will back．

C． Through their actions， city governments today are helping to shape the cities of the

future．

D． For example， London is requiring all newly licensed taxis to be zero﹣emission capable

from 2018．

E． City planners are using transport﹣oriented development to increase density while

maintaining quality of life and property value．

F． Some cities， such as Delhi， are investing heavily in creating the mass transport systems

needed to

change how citizens travel．

Sustainable Transport in Cities

Transport has always shaped cities． In Medieval times crossroads gave birth to blooming

market towns． Many North American cities were created for the car． But how are the cities

of today being shaped by a need for more sustainable transport？

Many local governments are speeding up change through policy initiatives such as joined

transport， congestion charges and low emission zones， sustainable gaining and lifecycle

costing， and opening data up to companies and academics． And these city level policies can

move markets in more sustainable directions．（1） This has resulted in five vehicle

manufacturers committing to meeting that deadline， which is both in their own commercial

interests and good for the environment．

The least dense cities， for example， Houston， have per capita（人均的） carbon

emissions nearly ten times higher than the densest， such as Singapore．（2） This

involves gathering mixed use developments around a key transport center， as with the KL

Central area in Kuala Lumpur， built around the largest railway station in Southeast Asia．

（3） Others are using motivations and behavioural change to encourage people

to choose more efficient﹣and often healthier﹣forms of transport． Copenhagen has a number

of progressive cycling policies including the Green Wave， which allows people cycling at

20km/h to hit all green lights during rush hour．

Light weighting and new engine and fuel technologies are helping to make existing road

and rail vehicles more efficient．（4） The main options are hydrogen fuel cells，

fossil fuel hybrids， and electric vehicles， and the best solution may well vary from city to

city．

IV. Summary Writing

21．（15分）Directions： Read the following passage． Summarize the main idea and the main

point（s） of the passage in no more than 60 words． Use your own words as far as possible．

Online "friends" ﹣a threat to development

The impact of technology on the nature of our friendships has been a much﹣debated

topic since the dramatic rise of social networks． Advances in mobile technology and social

networking websites mean we spend more time online than ever before． It is therefore not

surprising that so many psychologists， sociologists， and others are eager to give their

thoughts on how this is impacting negatively on our society．

There is one element of social networking that is deeply worrying． We find ourselves in a

hyper﹣connected world where people access social media day and night， excited to make

announcements about the tiniest details of their lives． Research is starting to show that this

culture is negatively affecting not our friendships but our character． Professor Larry

D． Rosen says that young people who overuse social networking sites can become

ineffective， aggressive， and display anti﹣social behavior in their offline lives． But perhaps

an even more disturbing effect is that one of our most basic emotions seems to be disappearing﹣empathy． This is the emotion that allows us to see the world from our friends' points of

view． Without it， we are far less able to connect and form meaningful adult relationships．

Professor Sherry Turkle suggests that people are no longer comfortable being alone． This

is something confirmed by a study where 200 university students were asked to go without

social media for 24 hours． Many admitted an addiction to their online social network； most

complained that they felt cut off from family and friends． And yet being alone is a time when

we self﹣reflect and get in touch with who we really are． It is only when we do this that we

can make meaningful friendships with others．

These potential changes in our characters are rather alarming， so it is clear that we can't

neglect those

negative impacts of social networks．
