Section A (10 marks)
Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.
Every body enjoys winning. However, the concept of victory is so mysterious. Those who are successful make it seem so simple that we are all curious about how it is done. (51) _____ Here are a few pieces of success:
A reporter once asked a bank president what the secret of his success was. “Two words.” said the bank president. “Right decisions.” (52) _____ “Experience.” Hoping for a more satisfying answer, the reporter asked him how he got his experience. “Two words,” said the bank president. “Wrong decisions!”
In another interview, a farmer who grew award-winning corn revealed that he shared his best seeds with his neighbours. (53) _____ “I know it seems irrational (不合逻辑的), but if I don’t share, then the risk is greater,” explained the farmer. “When the wind picks up pollen from the corn, it blows it from field to field. If my neighbours grow bad corn, I will too. Unless I help them, I won’t be able to grow good corn. We are all connected.”
(54) _____ “Nobody will buy shoes here,” said the first salesman confidently. “They don’t wear them.” “We will have sold thousands of shoes by the end of the year,” reported the second salesman, a winner by nature. “They are all barefoot!”
In a fable by cartoonist James Thurber, there was a little moth that fell in love with a star. “If I were you, I wouldn’t set such an unrealistic goal,” said his mother. “You will be much happier if you fall in love with a candle.” “I’m going to reach my star!” said the little moth while the other moths made fun of him. Unaffected by their laughter, the dreamy moth left. (55) _____ The moth must have been miles and miles away when he looked down and realized that he was the only moth of his family that was still alive. “Without you I wouldn’t exist now!” the moth said to the beloved star that had saved his life.

Section B (10 marks)
Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.
It’s not just people who like living in the city. Some animals prefer city life, too!
In a capital city like London, wild animals are probably not the first thing you expect to see. However, a lot of wildlife makes its home here. A wide variety of wildlife, from small animals, birds and insects to quite large creatures like foxes are found in this busy city.
City life attracts animals because they are safer there, far away from the other creatures that naturally kill them. There is also plenty of food for them in cities. Animals such as foxes search rubbish bins for food, and many people feed wild birds in their gardens so that even when it snows, they can find something to eat. Not only wild birds, but also squirrels benefit, as they steal bird food. Although bird lovers don’t feed these funny little animals, their numbers keep growing. The grey squirrel, which was only brought to Britain just over a hundred years ago, is now the most commonly seen wild animal in London. One of the best places to see them is in a central London park. They come down from the trees and sometimes even come near people who feed them.
Foxes, too, are enjoying the benefits of the city. In fact, these animals, the size of small dogs, are becoming a bit too common. They are less shy than they used to be, possibly because there are some people who feed them. Although foxes almost never go near people, they have, very rarely, entered homes and bitten small children who were asleep!
One of the most surprising new arrivals in London is the peregrine falcon, one of the fastest birds in the world. Since the late 1990s, they have become quite common in London. Instead of their traditional homes on lonely cliffs, they are now making their nests high up on London’s bridges and tall buildings. Smaller birds, like pigeons, become their food. The falcons fly down from a height at great speed and use their strong claws to catch pigeons in mid-air.

Section C (10 marks)
Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.
News gathering and reporting is the most important and viable way to exchange information. It always has been. From the slow dissemination (传播）of news by the town crier to the nearly instantaneous (瞬间发生的) exchange on the Internet, people want to know what is going on in their neighbourhoods and across the oceans.
There are some qualities which are much more important and impact the success of a news reporter and their craft. One of them is general intelligence. It is not necessary to be a genius, but general intelligence helps a reporter develop a growing base of knowledge. Expanding one’s knowledge comes from another important and needed quality—curiosity. A reporter needs to have an insatiable (无法满足的) curiosity about the world, its inhabitants, and simple day-to-day activities. Next, objectivity in reporting is a no-brainer. Unbiased and prejudice-free journalism is part of news reporting. It is also important for reporters to know the facts of the story and report only the facts. Embellishing or neglecting facts is qualities of storytellers, not reporters.
Lastly, reporters should have a general understanding of the subject being reported. It is difficult, if not possible, to effectively report on a subject that is beyond the reporter’s comprehension. And, of course, never forget to be a reporter delivering special news.
