Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)
Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Passage 1
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:
The reflective《反射》 towers of New York City, which is on the Atlantic (大西洋)migrating(迁徙的) route(路线), can be deadly (致命)for birds.“We live in an age (时代)of glass,”said Ms. Laurel,an architect.(建筑师) (76) “It can be a perfect mirror in certain (某些)lights, and the larger the glass, the more dangerous it is.”About 90,000 birds are killed by flying into buildings in the city each year.(每一年) Often,(常常) they strike (罢工)the lower (低)levels of (水平)glass towers after (之后)searching (搜索)for food in nearby parks. Such crashes(崩溃) are the second-leading(主 要) cause of (原因)death for migrating birds, after habitat (栖息地) loss, with an estimated number of death ranging up to a billion a year.
(77) As glass office and apartment towers have increased (增加)in the last decade(过去十年), so, too have calls to makethem less deadly to birds. San Francisco (三潘)adopted(采用) bird-safety standards (标准)for new buildings in July. The United States (美国)Green Building Council,(委员会) a nonprofit (非盈利组织)industry group that encourages(鼓励) the creation (创造)of environmentally conscious (意识)buildings, will introduce(介绍) a bird-safety credit this fall(信用这个秋天) as part of its environmental certification process(认证过程).
There are no easy fixes(修复), however. A few researchers (研究人员)are exploring glass designs that use ultraviolet (紫外线的) signals, but they are still in their infancy.(婴儿期) Covers, (盖子)dot patterns(圆点图案), shades (阴影)and nets (网)are the main options available.(可供选择方案)
Often, only one section(部分) of a building needs to be changed. "You don't necessarily have to treat(对待) every window," Ms. Laurel said. "It would be too expensive to do the whole building." The Jacob IC Javits Convention Center,(雅各伯ic贾维次会展中心) which has been undergoing(经历) alterations(改变), is the most recent building to voluntarily correct the problem of bird crashes. The architects used less reflective glass and dot patterns.

Passage 2
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:
Today's students have grown up hearing more about Bill Gates than F. D. R., and they live in a world where amazing innovations (革新) are common(常见). The current (现在的)18-year-olds, after all(毕竟), were 8 when Google was founded by two students at Stanford; Mark Zuckerberg founded (创办脸谱网) in 2004 while he was at Harvard (在哈佛)and they were entering high school. Having grown up digital (数字的), they are impatient (没有耐心)to get on with life.
The easiest (简单)way to fred kids(佛莱德孩子) like(像) these is to check(检查) in on entrepreneurship (企业家才能 ) education, in which colleges (高校)and universities try to prepare their students to recognize (认识、识别)opportunities (机遇)and seize(抓住) them.
A report published last year by the Kauffman (考夫曼)Foundation(基础), which finances (资助)programs to promote(促进) innovation (创新)on campuses(校园), noted (注意)that more than 5,000 entrepreneurship(创业) programs are offered on two- and four-year campuses-up fromjust 250 courses(课程) in 1985. Lesa Mitchell, a Kauffman vice president,(副总统) says that the foundation (基础)is extending (延伸)the reach of (达到)its academic(学术的) influence, which used to be found only inbusiness schools. Now, the concept of (概念)entrepreneurship(创业) is blooming (绽放)in engineering(工程) programs and medical schools, and even in the liberal arts. “Our interest is inall (总共、合计)the programs,” she says.“We need to spread 传播out from the business(业务) school.”
Either (无论)as(作为) class projects or on their own_, students in a variety of majors (专业)are coming up with ideas, writing business plans and seeing them through to (通过)prototype(原型) and, often, market. In their spare(备用) time, students in agricultural (农业)economics(经济学) at Purdue invent(发明) new uses for bean(豆); industrial design majors at Syracuse(锡拉丘兹,), in a special laboratory(实验室), create wearable(可穿越) technologies.
(78) The entrepreneurship (创业)movement (运动)has its critics' (评论家)especially(尤其是) among(在什么之间) those who see college(学院) as a time for extensive (广泛)academic(学术) exploration.(探索) “I just don't think that entrepreneurship ranks so high in terms of national(国家): need,”says Daniel S. Greenberg, author (作者)of Science for Sale(销售): The Perils(危险), Rewards (奖励)and Delusions(错觉) of Campus (校园)Capitalism.(资本主义)+--

)

Passage 3
Questions 11 to 15 are based onthe following passage:
Regret(后悔) is as common(常见的) an emotion (情感)as love or fear, and it can be nearly(几乎) as (一样)powerful. So, in a new paper, two researchers(研究人员) set about trying to find out what the typical (典型)American regrets (遗憾)most. In telephone surveys(调查), Neal Roese(尼尔罗斯), a psychologist(心理学家) and professor (教授)of marketing (营销)at the School ofmanagement at Northwestern(西北大学) UniverSity, and Mike Morrison, a doctoral candidate (候选人)in psychology (心理学)at University of Illinois, asked 370 Americans, aged 19 to 103, to talk about their most notable(值得注意的) regret(后悔). Participants (参与者)were asked what the regret was, when it happened, whether it was a result of (结果)something they did or didn't do, and whether it was something that could still (仍然)be fixed.(固定的)
The most commonly(通常的) mentioned regrets(提到遗憾) involved romance (浪漫的事) (18%)——lost loves or unfulfilled(不满意) relationships. Family regrets came in second (16%), with people still feeling badly about being unkind(不友善) to their brothers or sisters in childhood. Other frequently (频繁地)reported regrets involved career(卷入职业) (13%), education (12%), money (10%) and parenting (9%).
Roese and Morrison's study, which is to be published in Social Psychological(心理) and Personality(人格) Science, is significant(重要的) in that it surveyed(调查) a wide range of the American public, including people of all ages and socio-economic(社会经济) and educational backgrounds. Previous studies (以前的研究)on regret have focused largely(聚集主要的) on college students, who predictably (可以预见的是)tend to have education-focused (集中)regrets, like wishing(祝愿) they had studied harder(努力研究) or a different major. The new survey(调查) shows that in the larger population, a person's "life circumstances (情况) accomplishments,(成就) shortcomings,(缺点) situation in life- inject(注入) considerable(相当大) fuel (燃料)into the fires of regret," the authors write.
(79) People with less education, for instance(实力), were more likely to report education regrets. People with higher levels of (水平)education had the most career (职业)regrets. And those with no romantic (浪漫)parmer tended to hold regrets regarding (关于)love.
Broken(破碎) down (分解、细分) by sex, more women (44%) than men (19%) had regrets about love and family not surprising, since women "value social relationships more than men," the authors write. In contrast(对比), men (34%) weremore likely than women (27%) to mention work-related regrets, wishing they'd chosen a different career path(路径), for instance, or followed their passion(激情). (80) Many participants also reported wishing they had worked less to spend more time with their children.
There was an even split() between regrets about inaction (not doing something) and action (doing something you wish you didn't). But, like previous(以前的) studies, the current research(以前研究) found that some regrets are more likely than others to persist over time: people tend to hang on (坚持)longer to the regret of inaction; meanwhile(同时), regrets of action tend to be more recent.
11. In the second paragraph, the author shows__________.
A. the researchers'(研究者) findings B. the importance of family
C. the importance of money D. the importance of career(职业)
12. According to the passage, college student participants(参与者) mainly had regrets about their__________.
A. family and childhood B. study and major
C. career and job D. romance (浪漫)and fear
13. The word "notable" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to __________.
A. common (常见的) B. Capable(能干的)
C. Wonderful(精彩的) D. Remarkable(非凡的)
14. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

B. The more education he or she has, the less regrets she or he would have.
C. More women than men had regrets about love and family.
D. The regret of action seems to last longer than that of inaction.
