Section A
Directions: In this section, there are four passages followed by 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.
Passage One
Who says your job leaves you no time to hit the gym? A detailed new study of U.S.physical activity patterns shows that men who work full-time—whether their jobs are active or sedentary—end up getting more exercise than healthy working-age men without a job.
The new study comes from researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).As part of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, some 1,800 working-aged adults were asked a battery of questions about their lifestyle and work habits, and, crucially, they then agreed to wear an accelerometer—a device to measure their physical activity—over the course of several days.
Those data from accelerometers provide a rare opportunity to nail down how much activity the typical American actually does.They show that men or women who work in active jobs do more physical activity on weekdays than men or women working in sedentary jobs.That’s perhaps not surprising, but the NIH researchers suggest that it still matters because of an ongoing shift in the economy toward sedentary work.
The more surprising finding is the one that compares full-time workers to people who don’t work.The study shows that men with full-time jobs do more physical activity than healthy men without jobs.(“Healthy man”, in this case, were those men who said their primary reason for being out of work was something other than health or disability.) In fact, even sedentary full-time workers performed more weekday physical activity overall than the healthy non-workers.The results looked very different for women.Women in sedentary jobs did less physical activity on weekdays than their healthy non-working peers.
So what drives the gender difference? The study looks at the patterns, and can’t unfortunately provide too much detail about their causes.There could be many possible answers, including, perhaps, different abilities to pay for leisure time activities, or different norms and attitudes about work and physical activity.It could also be that more non-working women than men are choosing to be at home running around full-time after the kids.
But the NIH researchers do find evidence to suggest that, whatever causes the difference, healthy non-working women “are replacing work with active pursuits whereas—for some reason— (non-working) men generally are not.”
21
The word “sedentary” (Para.1) probably means “_____”.
  • A.being out of job
  • B.working part-time
  • C.sitting for a long time
  • D.being passive in life
22
What is the function of the accelerometers in the study?
  • A.They record the amount of activity.
  • B.They provide people with more energy.
  • C.They indicate gender differences.
  • D.They push people to be more active.
23
Who do the most physical activity according to the study?
  • A.People with sedentary jobs.
  • B.People with active jobs.
  • C.Healthy women with no jobs.
  • D.Healthy men with full-time jobs.
24
What is the significance of the study?
  • A.It indicates the ongoing economic trend.
  • B.It provides evidence for gender differences.
  • C.It reveals the typical American activity pattern.
  • D.It explains the relation between work and activity.
25
Which of the following is true about non-working women?
  • A.They are busy with their kids all the time.
  • B.They are generally from wealthy families.
  • C.They engage themselves in other activities.
  • D.They rely on their husbands for a living.
Passage Two
Popular fireworks should be replaced with cleaner drone (无人机) and laser light shows to avoid the “highly damaging” impact on wildlife, domestic pets and the broader environment, new Curtin-led research has found.
The new research, published in Pacific Conservation Biology, examined the environmental cost of firework displays by reviewing the ecological effects of Diwali festival activities in India, Fourth of July celebrations across the United States, and other events in New Zealand and parts of Europe.Examples included fireworks in Spanish festivals impacting the breeding success of House Sparrows, July firework displays being implicated in the decline of Brandt’s Cormorant (鸬鹚) colonies in California, and South American sea lions changing their behavior during breeding season as a result of New Year’s fireworks in Chile.
Lead author Associate Professor Bill Bateman, from Curtin’s School of Molecular and Life Sciences, said that fireworks create short-term noise and light disturbances that cause distress in domestic animals that may be managed before or after a firework event, but the impacts to wildlife can be on a much larger scale.The annual timing of some large-scale firework events coincides with the migratory or reproductive movements of wildlife, and may therefore have adverse long term population effects on them.Fireworks also produce significant pulses of highly pollutant materials that also contribute significantly to the chemical pollution of soil, water, and air, which has implications for human as well as animal health.
Bateman said firework bans at sensitive periods for wildlife migration or mating periods could limit the impact.Drone or other light-based shows could as well.“Other than horses, for which there is some evidence that they can be gradually familiarized with flashes of light, there is very little that can be done to address the disturbing impact of noise from fireworks on animals and wildlife,” Bateman said.
The future of firework displays may be in the use of safer and greener alternatives such as drones, eco-friendly fireworks or visible-wavelength lasers for light shows.There is growing evidence that these community events can be managed in a sustainable way and it’s clear that outdated firework displays need to be replaced by cleaner options that are not harmful to wildlife and the environment.
26
The research team examined the impact of fireworks by _____.
  • A.doing experiments on animals
  • B.conducting a large-scale survey
  • C.interviewing environmentalists
  • D.carrying out an ecological review
27
Big firework events held at certain periods each year _____.
  • A.cause animals to lose their sight and hearing
  • B.reduce the breeding rate of domestic animals
  • C.pose threats to the migration of wild animals
  • D.are gradually familiarized by wildlife
28
According to the research, what animals can partially adapt to fireworks?
  • A.Sparrows.
  • B.Sea lions.
  • C.Cormorants.
  • D.Horses.
29
Bateman suggests that a green alternative to fireworks could be _____.
  • A.drones
  • B.parades
  • C.travels
  • D.circus shows
30
Which of the following can best summarize the main idea of the passage?
  • A.Popular fireworks constitute a primary source of pollution.
  • B.Fireworks have short- and long-term impact on environment.
  • C.Ecological effects of fireworks should not be overstated.
  • D.Fireworks are outdated and should be banned.
Passage Three
The past two years have shown that employees desire greater flexibility—and they’re willing to change jobs to get it.Flexibility has tremendous benefits for employees, including reduced burnout and greater job satisfaction.However, it can also result in rising coordination costs for managers, large amounts of wasted effort, and the inability to respond quickly to client requests.The brief meetings that once allowed teams to promptly brainstorm solutions and coordinate efforts are now harder to pull together.It can take days to get most members in the same virtual place at the same time (including one person who’s half-listening from the dentist’s chair).
To increase employee flexibility on their teams, managers need guidance and support.Otherwise, they could bum out on the job or check out to find a new one.Here are some ways managers can offer their teams flexibility without breaking under the coordination costs or significantly halting progress.
First, rethink when employees work together.For complex tasks that require teamwork, it’s not feasible to provide employees with complete flexibility (i.e., the ability to work for any duration at any time).However, returning to the standard in-office work week won’t work either.Thus, managers will need to think differently and deeply about project requirements and schedule accordingly.
For project-based workflows, managers should carefully map out the project tasks and timetable and issue an advance request for employees to block a specific set of days for overlapping work during key project phases (e.g., kickoff, mid-point, finalization).For less predictable workflows, match scheduling bursts with calendar time.For example, during the second week of the month, employees are expected to be working from 10 a.m.to 5 p.m., then they’re allowed to choose which 40 hours (+/-10) they work weekly during the rest of the month.
Second, rethink who works together.To provide greater flexibility, managers may need to reorganize their larger teams into multi-team systems of smaller, authorized, and interconnected groups.For example, converting your team of nine into three teams of three enables them to make decisions and makes it easier for employees to help coordinate their work.
Besides, managers must also think more deeply than ever about the structure of their employees’ tasks and priorities.Understanding the connections between different tasks is especially crucial for setting priorities to avoid bottlenecks.If everything is a priority, nothing is a priority.
31
Employees desire greater flexibility because it means _____.
  • A.higher efficiency
  • B.longer vacations
  • C.less exhaustion
  • D.lighter workloads
32
The main idea of Paragraph 1 is that greater employee flexibility may _____.
  • A.bring huge benefits to employees
  • B.increase productivity of a company
  • C.affect response to client requests
  • D.pose great challenges to managers
33
For managers, increasing employee flexibility _____.
  • A.is necessary and possible
  • B.depends on their personal will
  • C.is difficult but economical
  • D.improves team coordination
34
The word “block” (Para.4) is closest in meaning to “_____”.
  • A.propose
  • B.put off
  • C.set aside
  • D.restrict
35
The following suggestions are given to managers EXCEPT _____.
  • A.adjusting project schedules
  • B.providing better work conditions
  • C.establishing multi-team systems
  • D.setting clear tasks and priorities
Passage Four
Conversation goes far beyond talking.It also involves eyes, smiles, and the silences between the words.When those elements hum along together, conversational partners feel most deeply engaged and connected.
Like good conversationalists, Dartmouth College scientists have taken that idea and carried it to new places.They report some surprising findings on the interplay between eye contact and how two people synchronize (同步) nerve activity while talking.The researchers suggest, in a paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA, that being in tune with a conversational partner is good—but that occasionally falling out of sync might be even better.
Maintaining eye contact has long been thought to act as the glue that connects two people in conversation.Its absence can signal failure of social function.Similarly, the growing study along this line has largely focused on the way synchrony in individuals’ brain activity benefits the social connection between them.
Earlier research by the Dartmouth lab had showed that synchronized pupil expansion serves as a reliable indicator of shared attention, which in turn marks greater nerve synchrony.In the new study, which measured pupil expansion during unstructured 10-minute conversations, the researchers found that the initial moment of eye contact—rather than a sustained period of locked gazes—marks a peak in shared attention.Synchrony, in fact, drops sharply just after you look into your conversation partner’s eyes and begins to recover only when you and that person look away from each other.“Eye contact is not eliciting synchrony; it’s disrupting it,” says Thalia Wheatley, the paper’s senior author.
Why would this happen? Wheatley contends that making and breaking eye contact ultimately propels the conversation forward.“Perhaps what this is doing is allowing us to break synchrony and move back into our own heads so that we can bring forth new and individual contributions to keep the conversation going,” Wheatley says.
Connections between gaze and synchrony might be relevant to research in autism (自闭症) and other mental disorders that involve non-typical interaction.The findings also help explain frustrations over videoconferencing platforms, on which real eye contact is nearly impossible to make—or break—because of the positioning of cameras and windows on screens.
36
It can be learned that Dartmouth College scientists _____.
  • A.discovered that conversation is more than talking
  • B.doubted the designs of conversational research
  • C.explained the findings of conversationalists
  • D.found interpersonal synchrony not always desirable
37
Previous research on eye contact focused on _____.
  • A.its role in keeping people connected
  • B.its patterns in social interaction
  • C.the sources of poor social relations
  • D.the flow of brain activity in conversations
38
What is the finding in Wheatley’s new study?
  • A.Pupil expansion indicates shared attention.
  • B.Synchrony is key to success of communication.
  • C.Shared attention is the highest at initial eye contact.
  • D.Synchrony keeps pace with eye contact.
39
How did Wheatley account for the role of eye contact changes?
  • A.To create a proper setting for a conversation.
  • B.To make people feel respected by others.
  • C.To encourage people’s independent insights.
  • D.To work together with participants’ words.
40
What is the implication of Wheatley’s research findings?
  • A.Improvement of conversational research design.
  • B.Understanding of deficits in communication.
  • C.Creativity on patterns of typical interactions.
  • D.Reduction of stress over video conferences.
Section B
Directions: In this section,you are required to read one quoted blog and the comments on it.The blog and comments are followed by 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.
Talking about worry, I think of the most anxiety-provoking time of my life.It was 2008, and I was pregnant with my first child.At my ultrasound checkup, my husband and I learned that our son would be born with a congenital (先天的) heart condition.This condition is fatal if not corrected through open-heart surgery within months of birth.For the remainder of my pregnancy, I was almost never completely free of worry: How can we get him the best care? How will this affect his life?
Doesn’t this mean that I should prevent worry as soon as possible? Yet, that is exactly the wrong thing to do.Suppressing thoughts and feelings never works—and paradoxically increases anxiety while reinforcing the belief that worries are uncontrollable.
I discovered this for myself with my son’s heart condition.My worries were constant and exhausting, but putting them aside didn’t work.So I tried the opposite.I used my worries.Every time I worried, I went into action mode: I read every paper published on the condition, I asked our nurses and doctors a million questions, and I imagined best- and worst-case scenarios so I could plan each detail of my son’s care.Gradually I learn to worry smart and eventually worry less.
Our son is now 14 years old.He loves playing the piano, writing, and wrestling.As his doctors told us after his surgery, there are no restrictions on what he can do.
Comment 1:
I agree, but meditation helps as well.
Comment 2:
I’m one of those “stare at the dark ceiling trying to get to sleep” worriers.I find that it helps tremendously if I run a mile after dinner.
Comment 3:
Maybe these are good ideas; maybe not.Maybe some of them will work for some people and some not.But where is the science behind any of it?
Comment 4:
If it were only so easy...especially for those of us who suddenly wake at 3 a.m.most nights where every problem and worry is magnified to the power of 10.
Comment 5:
A simple way I look at this is to say to myself, “Will I be a worrier or a warrior (战士)?” Then I act on what I am worried about in some constructive way.
41
What does the author think of the effort to prevent worry?
  • A.It only works at the beginning.
  • B.It should start as soon as possible.
  • C.It makes the problem even worse.
  • D.It is a simple and effective solution.
42
The author’s action mode involves the following activities EXCEPT _____.
  • A.reading scientific literature
  • B.taking some medical courses
  • C.making a thorough action plan
  • D.consulting medical professionals

Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese.Write your answer on the Answer Sheet.
Robots often have trouble picking up objects—they need to be trained on exactly where to reach and how to grasp.One problem is that they can’t touch.They can’t judge how firmly or softly to hold something.Now engineers have made a tool called TacTip.It’s a 3D-printed robotic fingertip with a rubbery outer “skin”.Below the skin are tiny, stiff pins.When TacTip touches something, a camera inside watches those pins getting pushed around.The researchers also added a microphone inside the fingertip, which helps judge vibrations.With all this information, the tool was pretty good at touching different fabrics and telling them apart.
