17、mpr(总题数：0，分数：0.00)八、Section A(总题数：0，分数：0.00)九、Passage One(总题数：1，分数：3.00)Researchers analysed the diet of 16,000 people in 52 countries and identified three global eating patterns. The typical Western diet, high in fat, salt and meat, accounted for about 30% of heart attack risk in any population. A
18、“prudent“ diet high in fruit and vegetables lowered heart risk by a third. An Oriental diet, high in tofu, soy and other sauces, made no difference to heart attack risk. People who ate a Western diet had a 35% greater risk of having a heart attack than those who ate little or no fried. The typical W
19、estern diet has been widely linked to heart disease. High salt in the diet can raise blood pressure and the wrong type of fat can clog (阻塞) blood vessels. Ellen Mason, a cardiac nurse for the British Heart Foundation, said: “This study shows that it doesn“t matter whether you live in Bolton or Bomba
20、y, or whether you like to eat British, African Caribbean or Asian foods. The vital thing is to reduce your intake of salty, fried, fatty food to a minimum but increase the amount of fruit and vegetables you eat.“（分数：3.00）(1).Which of the following was NOT one of the three global eating patterns?（分数：

But when Moko arrived at Mahia beach on the east coast of New Zealand“s North Island, their mood changed and they followed him
24、to safety. The ability of some animals to communicate is well known. What“s less well documented, however, is the communication between species. Justin Gregg, vice president of the Dolphin Communication Project, said it is possible that a dolphin and a whale could communicate in some way. “But it wo
25、uldn“t be instructions like “Hey, buddy, the open ocean is over here. Follow me,“ he says. Dolphins use three forms of signaling to other dolphinswhistles, clicking and postures. A whale might have signals in common with a dolphin, just as different species of dolphins are known to share signals whi
26、ch might theoretically allow a form of basic inter-species communication. But just as it“s possible that Moko the dolphin and the stranded whales shared a signal, it is also possible that the whales just saw a vaguely similar creature and followed it. There are many reasons why different species com
27、municate, says Vincent Janik, lecturer at the Sea Mammal Research Unit at St Andrew“s University. “The animals exploit the systems of others for their own benefits. Sometimes the benefits are the same for each, therefore they share information. Sometimes they are trying to take advantage of the othe
28、r. Getting food may not be to the advantage of the one giving up the food.“（分数：5.00）(1).What happened after Moko the dolphin appeared at Mahia beach?（分数：1.00）A.The beached whales still felt distressful.B.Moko led the whales back to the sea.C.The whales were still stuck on the beach.D.Moko and the wh

30、(3).Dolphins communicate with one another, using all the following types of signaling EXCEPT _.（分数：1.00）A.gesturesB.whistlesC.clickingD.postures(4).The whales stranded on the beach followed the dolphin to safety probably because _.（分数：1.00）A.they understood the dolphin“s instruction “Follow me“B.the
31、y had signals in common with one anotherC.they recognized some other animals not far awayD.they shared those inter-species signals with the dolphin(5).Why do animals of different species communicate with one another?（分数：1.00）A.Because they like to set up their own communication systems.B.Because the
32、y want to take advantage of the other species.C.Because they tend to keep more food to themselves.D.Because they benefit from using the information from other species.十一、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：6.00)Competition breeds excellence. Ask anyone who pays attention to the car industry and they will tell yo
33、u that the family-sedan segment is just brutal, with manufacturers fighting tooth and nail over every sale. In fact, that market has become more competitive in recent years. It used to just be the Camry and the Accord fighting for supremacy, but now you have new (Hyundai) and old (Ford) competitors,
34、 among others, joining the fight, with interesting, well-made, compelling products. It“s a great time to be shopping for a new family sedan. Compare that with the state of the tablet market today. Hewlett-Packard is in retreat. Research in Motion is in a holding pattern. Motorola has been sold and i
35、ts tablet is now an afterthought. Samsung fights the good fight, hut it trails Apple“s market share by 50 percentage points. Apple is not just ahead of the pack, it almost is the pack. Now, some would say that this is also a simple result of economic laws at work: Apple makes a superior product, the
36、refore it gets most of the sales. But what would be really great is that, Apple, Google, Microsoft, and H.P., locked in an epic battle for tablet supremacy, are each releasing new and better products at a furious pace, and each dropping prices substantially at a steady clip. Apple is driving innovat
37、ion and creativity with each upgrade of the iPad it releases. But this isn“t about whether you prefer Apple or Android for your tablet. This isn“t about picking sides. As a consumer, I want there to be robust competition across the board. I want Coke and Pepsi, Target and Wal-Mart, Engadget and Gizm
38、odo. If you“re a fan of Apple, you want there to be a worthy rival push it, to keep its feet to the fire. If you don“t like Apple, you want someone else in the game so that Apple doesn“t suck all the air out of the room. And you want Apple to do the same pushing and foot scorching to its competitor
39、that another company would do to it.（分数：6.00）(1).The phrase “fighting tooth and nail“ (Para. 1) means that car makers are _.（分数：1.00）A.competing fiercely with one anotherB.beating one another with their tooth and nailC.extremely careful about the family-sedan segmentD.paying more attention to their
40、tooth and nail(2).Why is it a great time to he shopping for a new family sedan?（分数：1.00）A.Because competition is more interesting and compelling.B.Because Hyundai and Ford are joining the competition.C.Because customers have enough quality cars to choose from.D.Because the Camry and the Accord are c
41、ompeting for supremacy.(3).What are the tablet makers strategically doing, facing the brutal competition?（分数：1.00）A.Developing new products and reducing prices.B.Analyzing the results of the economic laws.C.Adapting to the furious pace of development.D.Providing best possible services for their prod
42、ucts.(4).The author brings in the pairs of “Coke and Pepsi, Target and Wal-Mart, Engadget and Gizmodo“ (Para. 4) to make _.（分数：1.00）A.a comparisonB.a contrastC.an abstractionD.an exemplification(5).What does the phrase “to keep its feet to the fire“ in the last paragraph mean?（分数：1.00）A.To place App
43、le“s feet close to the fire.B.To pressure Apple into intensifying its competitionC.To force Apple to dance hard on the fire.D.To advise Apple to strategically drop its side products.(6).Why does the author start with the car, industry before he focuses on tablet market?（分数：1.00）A.Because he treats t
44、he car industry as the key point for his writing.B.Because the car industry is more important than table market.C.Because he uses the car analogy for a more effective argumentation.D.Because the model of the car is far more popular in the market.十二、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：6.00)So what are books good f
45、or? My best answer is that books produce knowledge by encasing it. Books take ideas and set them down, transforming them through the limitations of space into thinking usable by others. In 1959, C. P. Snow threw down the challenge of “two cultures“, the scientific and the humanistic, pursuing their
46、separate, unconnected lives within developed societies. In the new-media ecology of the 21st century, we may not have closed that gap, but the two cultures of the contemporary world are the culture of data and the culture of narrative. Narrative is rarely collective. It isn“t infinitely expandable.
47、Narrative has a shape and a temporality, and it ends, just as our lives do. Books tell stories. Scholarly books tell scholarly stories. Storytelling is central to the work of the narrative-driven disciplinesthe humanities and the nonquantitative social sciencesand it is central to the communicative
48、pleasures of reading. Even argument is a form of narrative. Different kinds of books are, of course, good for different things. Some should be created only for download and occasional access, as in the case of most reference projects, which these days are born digital or at least given dual passport
49、s. But scholarly writing requires narrative fortitude, on the part of writer and reader. There is nothing wiki about the last set of Cambridge University Press monographs(专著) I purchased, and in each I encounter an individual speaking subject. Each single-author book is immensely particular, a story told as only one storyteller could recount it. Scholarship is a collagist (拼贴画家), building the next road map of what we know book by book. Stories end, and that, I think, is a very good thing. A single authorial voice is a kind of performance, with an audience of
