Given that I teach students who are training to be doctors, I was surprised to find that most thought that they would not be able to get the jobs they wanted without “outside help”. “What kind of help is that?” I asked, expecting them to tell me that they would need a relative or family friend to help them out. “Surgery (外科手术) ”，one replied. I was pretty alarmed by that response. It seems that the graduates of today are increasingly willing to go under the knife to get ahead of others when it es to getting a job. One girl told me that she was considering surgery to increase her height. “They break your legs, put in special extending screws, and slowly expand the gap between the two ends of the bone as it regrows, you can get at least 5 Cm taller!” At that point, I was shocked. I am short, I cant deny that, but I dont think I would put myself through months of agony (痛苦）just to be a few centimeters taller. I dont even bother to wear shoes with thick soles, as Im not trying to hide the fact that I am just not tall! It seems to me that there is a trend toward wanting “perfection”，and that is an ideal that just does not exist in reality. No one is born perfect, yet magazines, TV shows and movies present images of thin, tall, beautiful people as being the norm. Advertisements for slimming aids, beauty treatments and cosmetic surgery clinics fill the pages of newspapers, further creating an idea that “perfection” is a requirement, and that it must be purchased, no matter what the cost. In my opinion, skills, rather than appearance, should determine how successful a person is in his chosen career.21. We can know from the passage that the author works as .A.a model B. a teacher C. a doctor D. a reporter22. Many graduates today turn to cosmetic surgery to .A.marry a better man/womanB.attract more admirersC.get an advantage over others in job-huntD. bee a model23.According to the passage, the author believes that .A. everyone should purchase perfection, whatever the costB. its right for graduates to ask for others to help them out in hunting for jobsC. media are to blame for misleading young people in their seeking for surgeryD. it is ones appearance instead of skills that really matters in one，s career24. What does the author think of his height?A. He just accepts it as it isB. He tries to increase his height through surgeiyC. He always wears shoes with thick soles to hide the fact.D. He hates to be called a short man.B DUKE-NUS Graduate Medical School Be Part Our xx Intake DUKE-NUS Graduate Medical School is a joint collaboration between 2 top universities-Duke University School of Medical and the National University of Singapore (NUS) .Our school follows the American style of medical education and students graduate with a Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree after 4 years.

That is according to a study published this Monday in the Public Library of Science Medicine Journal. After tracking more than 20,000 people aged 45 to 79 years in the United Kingdom from about 1993 to xx, Kay-Tee Khaw of the University of Cambridge and his colleagues found that people who adopted these four healthy habits lived an average of 14 years longer than those who didnt. “Weve known for a long time that these behaviors are good things to do, but weve not seen this benefit before，” said Susan Jebb, head of Nutrition and Health at Britains Medical Research Council. “The benefit was also seen regardless of whether or not people were fat and what social class they came from.” Study participants (参与者）scored a point each for not smoking, regular physical activity, eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day and moderate alcohol intake. Public health experts said they hoped the study would inspire governments to introduce policies helping people to adopt these changes. But because the study only observed people rather than testing specific changes，it would be impossible to conclude that people who suddenly adopted these healthy behaviors would surely gain 14 years. “We cant say that any person could gain 14 years by doing these things，” said Dr. Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization. “The 14 years is an average across the population of whats theoretically (理论上.地)possible.” “Most people know that things like a good diet matter and that smoking isnt good for them”，Susan Jebb said. “We need to work on providing people with much more practical support to help them change”29. We can learn from the passage that.A. Susan Jebb did not take part in the study.B. the study observed people as well as tested specific changes.C. theres no need for people under 45 to adopt these good habits.D. only those from first class can benefit from these healthy behaviors.30. What can be inferred from the passage?A. All the people are well aware of the harm of their bad habits.B. People aged 45 to 70 have bad habits in the United Kingdom.C. Governments should take measures to help people change their bad habits.D. People have adopted the four healthy habits after knowing theyre good.31. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Smoking and Drinking Cuts You 14 YearsB. Healthy Habits May Give Extra 14 YearsC. How to Make Your Life Longer Than OthersD. How to Live a Much Healthier LifeD Rock-paper-scissors is a game played all around the world. As kids, we have relied on it to settle disagreements with friends一from which channel to watch to who gets to eat the last ice-creamall because we think the results arc pletely random. But are they? Wang Zhijian, PhD, a professor at Zhejiang University, believes that there is a regulation behind this simple game. So he gathered 360 students, divided them into groups of six and had each group play 300 rounds of rock-paper-scissors, reported USA Today. After the first results, Wang thought he was wrong, because players chose each of the three moves about one-third of the time, suggesting that the game is random after all. However， Wang later noticed a surprising regulation of behavior in the data.When players won a round, they usually stuck to the same choice. But when they lost, they tended to change to a more powerful move. For example, if Player A had just thrown down scissors to beat Player Bs paper, Player A was more likely to throw down scissors again while Player B was likely to choose rock, since rock beats scissors. According to Wang, this might be a function that is called “conditional response”. So, for the next step of his study, as he told BBC, Wang plans to do some research about how human brains make quick decisions when peting. Now that youve learned how to predict the moves of your opponent，youll have an advantage next time you play rock-paper-scissors with your friends. But there is one problem: make sure they havent read about Wangs study, or your advantage will disappear.32. What does the underlined word “random” in the first paragraph probably mean?A.StrangeB.UnpredictableC.AmusingD. Equal33. Whats Wangs discovery of the surprising regulation of behavior?A.300 rounds of rock-paper-scissors can be done at onceB. The game rock-paper-scissors is random after all.C. The game is based on “conditional response”.D. The response of players doesnt seem random.34. If Player A has used rock to beat Player Bs scissors, what will they probably do next?A. Player B is more likely to choose paper.B. Player A is more likely to choose scissors.C. Player B is more likely to choose rock.D. Player A is more likely to choose paper.35. What will Wang study in the future?A. How to improve players ability to predict opponents moves.B. The functions of the game that are planted into our brains.C. How human brains make quick decisions in a petition.D. The psychological cause of the players who always win.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Sometimes willpower is a lot like the television remote control-hard to find just when you want it most. 36 But there are ways to increase your willpower. *Dont try to change your economic situation, win a promotion and lose weight all on the same morning. Set one clear, specific goal and make a realistic plan to achieve it. Extra willpower sometimes requires extra energy, so dont spread yourself too thin. 37 *Whatever your goal is, dont expect to achieve it overnight. 38If you are trying to kick a coffee habit，start by replacing your morning cup of coffee with a glass of water, instead of promising never to drink coffee again. Congratulate yourself on the small achievements. These successes help your willpower grow. *39 Ask friends, family or colleagues for assistance and tell them exactly how they can help. If your credit card bills have risen, for instance, let friends know that you are cutting back on expenses. Suggest having a mon dinner instead of meeting at an expensive restaurant. Find a support group or organization related to your goal and attend their meetings. You can get valuable advice, understanding and information. *If possible, change your environment to encourage positive behavior. Want to get in shape? Keep an extra set of workout clothes in your office as a reminder to stop by the gym on the way home. Quit smoking? 40A. Focus on one goal at a time.B. Real success takes time.C. Improve your willpower by a support network.D. Change your environment to change your life.E. Changing your behavior requires more than willpower.F. Breaking a bad habit or forming a new and healthy one can be difficult.G. Avoid bars or restaurants where you might be attracted to light up.第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Dr. M was one of my favorite professors in college.
