17、mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Passage One Five or six year ago, I attended a lecture on the science of attention. A philosopher who conducts research in the medical school was talking about attention blindness, the basic feature of the human brain that, when we concentrate intensely on one ta
18、sk, causes us to miss just about everything else. Because we cant see what we cant see, our lecture was determined to catch us in the act. He had us watch a video of six people tossing basketball back and forth, three in white shirts and three in black, and our task was to keep track only of the tos
19、ses among the people in white. The tape rolled, and everyone began counting. Everyone except me, Im dyslexic(有阅读障碍的), and the moment I saw that grainy tape with the confusing basketball tosses, I knew I wouldnt be able to keep track of their movements, so I let my mind wander. My curiosity was arous
20、ed, though, when about 30 seconds into the tape, a gorilla(大猩猩) came in among the players. She (we later learned a female student was in the gorilla suit) start at the camera, thumped her chest, and the strode away while they continued passing the balls. When the tape stopped, the philosopher asked
21、how many people had counted at least d a dozen basketball tosses. Hands went up all over. He then asked who had counted 13, 14, and congratulated those whod scored the perfect 15. The he asked, “And who saw the gorilla?” I raised my hand and was surprised to discover I was the only person at my tabl
22、e and one of only three or four in the large room to do so. Hed set me up, trapping us in our own attention blindness. Yes, there had been a trick, but he wasnt the one who had played it on us. By concentrating so hard on counting, we had managed to miss the gorilla in the midst.21. This passage des
23、cribes_A. basketballB. an experimentC. a philosopherD. a gorilla22. Attentions blindness” refer to_.A. the fact that one cant see what one cant seeB. seeing one thing while missing all else.C. keeping track of just about everythingD. the condition of being blind to details23. “Catch us in the act” (
24、Para. 1) is closest in meaning of “find us _”A. doing something improperB. sleeping during the lectureC. counting the basketball tossesD. failing to notice something within sight24.

25、 refer to ?A. The authorB. The gorillaC. The lectureD. The studentPassage Two There are few sadder sights than a pile of fan letter, lovingly decorated with hand drawings, suffering in a bin. The sparkly envelopes were addressed to Taylor Swift, a pop star much beloved by teenage and pre-teen girls.
26、 “Dear Taylor”, read one discard message, “I love you so much! Youre the best! And youre really beautiful and cute! Im really enjoying your songsThis, along with hundreds of other similar letters sent from around the world, was discovered in Nashville recycling disposal unit by a local woman. Swifts
27、 management was quick to reassure her admirers that they had been thrown out accidentally. The response may come as a disappointment to any devotee who imagine, as they compose their letter, that Swift make time to view each one personallyDealing with pile of fan mail is, however, an administrative
28、burden for most celebrities. While some celebrities do like to go through their mail personally, the majority simply do not have time. But the fact f their correspondence is something most committed fans will not wish to dwell on, say Lynn Zubernis, an expert in the psychology of fandom at West Ches
29、ter University.“Theres this little bit of every fan that thinks theirs will be the one that stands out- its not an expectation, but a hope that theirs will be seen by the celebrity.”While the relationship between the fan and the celebrity may exist only in the mind of the former, it sterns from a de
30、eply-rooted human need for community and belonging, Zubernis believe. As a result, even receiving a mass-produced letter of acknowledgment and a photo stamped with a reproduced signature can be a powerful experience.“People have a tremendous need to connect with the person they are idolizing(偶像化),”
31、she says, “They cant ring up and say, Can we have coffee? Its not about the autograph(签名). Its about the moment of connection.”26. Which of the following statements is true?A.

33、usy to read fan mailB. are afraid of receiving fan mailC. try their best to read fan mail themselves.D. care about the fate of fan mail29.

34、get connection with the starsD. dream of getting a photo of the stars30. Which of the following will fans cherish the most? A. The feeling of being related to their stars. B. The sense of being similar to their stars. C. The time spent with their stars. D. The autograph of their stars.Passage Three
35、Facelift(紧肤术) followed by a week on a beach in Thailand? Hip surgery with a side of shopping in Singapore? Over the last 10 years, Asias rise on the medical tourism scene has been quick. Eastern nations dominate the global scene. Now Bali wants a slice of the action. The Indonesian island recently o
36、pened its first facility specifically targeting medical tourists with package and service, Bali International Medical Centre (BIMC) Nusa Dua. BIMC already has an international hospital in Kuta, which opened in 1998. The new internationally managed facility offers surgical and non-surgical cosmetic p
37、rocedures and dental care. Unlike most of the regions hospitals, BIMC is designed to feel more like a spa or resort(度假村) than a medical facility. The 50-bed hospital has a 24-hour medical emergency entrance and hotel-like lobby at the front of the building servicing the hospitals medicals, and denta
38、l centers. If youre a celebrity who doesnt want everyone to know youre here for a bit of lipo (吸脂术),no worries. Theres private entrance that leads to the CosMedic Centre, which offers views of a golf course. BIMC has even teamed up with the nearby Courtyard by Marriott Bali, which provides specific
39、after-care service like tailor-made meals and wellness programs for patient. Latest technology and cool interiors are a star, but breaking into a regional industry that already has some of the worlds top international hospital will be tough, says Joesf Woodman, CEO of U.S-based medical travel consum
40、er guide Patients Beyond Borders(PBB). “As a newcomer, Bali faces stiff competition from nearby international healthcare providers. To compete, Bali will need to demonstrate a quality level of care and promote its services to the region and the world. On the positive side, Bali is blessed as one of
41、the regions safest, most popular tourist destinations, with a built in potential to attract medical travelers.” The Indonesian island couldnt have picked a better time to get into the game, says PBB. “The world population is aging and becoming wealthier at rate s that surpass the availability of qua
42、lity healthcare resource,” says the companys research.31. What does “medical tourism” (Para. 1) probably mean?A. Treating a disease during a tripB. Attracting patients with package toursC. Cosmetic treatment and a tour in oneD. Turning hospital into tourist attractions32. How does BIMC differ from r
43、egular hospitals?A. It offers cosmetic surgeryB. It has better environment and services.C. It accepts international patients.D. It has more beds and longer service hours.33. BIMC wishes to attract celebrities with its_A. privacy measuresB. first-class designC. free golf courseD. tailor-made meals34.
44、 According to Woodman, BIMC_A. threatens its regional competitorsB. will soon take the lead in the industryC. needs further improvementD. faces both challenges and opportunities35. What can be concluded from the last paragraph?A. The population is developing faster than medical resources.B. Healthca
45、re is hardly available for the aging populationC. The world is in need of more quality medical care.D. The world population is becoming older and richer.Passage Four For many of us, asking for help is a difficult concept. We may feel as if we are admitting a weakness that world would not have known
46、about, had we not asked for help. Ironically, its been my experience that people who are able to deliver well-positioned requests for help are seen as very strong individuals. When they demonstrate the humility(谦卑) to ask for help, they earn the respect of others. People who receive a heartfelt requ
47、est for help are usually honored by the request. In turn, we are strengthened by the very help that is provided. One of my clients (well call her Kira) recently made shift in how she was interacting with her boss. When asked to prepare presentations, she assumed that she was expected to go away, dev
48、elop the content, deliver it at the required meeting and then wait for feedback from her boss. Her boss was highly regarded for the impact of his presentations, while Kira often that her presentations were lacking. When she took a hard look at how this approach was working for her, Kira recognized t
49、hat she had not yet made use of her bosss support. She could learn far more about creating attractive presentations by walking through a draft with her boss-focusing on the content plus her delivery- and obtaining feedback earlier in the process rather than at the back end. So she made the request f
50、or his support. The outcome? Her boss was delighted to coach Kira and was enthusiastic about the opportunity to put into use his own strength by teaching presentation skills more effectively to her. By taking the time to work together on presentation for a number of Kiras key presentations, she bene
51、fited from her bosss thought process and was able to distinguish the critical components to enhance her own presentations. Kirs presentations now have punch! Some of us are uncomfortable asking for help because we believe that our request places burdens on the other person. Ironically, we may be mis
52、sing an opportunity to show others how are value and respect them. People who know you and think well of you are often highly motivated to help. Furthermore, the more specific you can be about what you need from them, the easier it is for them to assist you.36. Many people are unwilling to ask for h
53、elp because they_A. are confident of themselvesB. do not trust other peopleC. are ashamed of doing soD. do not think it necessary37. Which of the following may the author agree with?A. Asking for help means admitting weaknesses.B. Helping others is helping oneself.C. Well-positioned requests for hel
54、p are welcomedD. Weak people often need more help.38. Kiras requests for help_A. turned out rewardingB. was turned downC. led to her promotionD. benefited her boss in return39. “Kiras presentations now have punch” means her presentations are_A. forcefulB. controversialC. well receivedD. highly motiv
55、ating40. The purpose of the passage is to _A. illustrate how to ask for helpB. show the importance of mutual helpC. call for attention to others requestsD. encourage people to ask for helpSection BDirections:In this section,you are required to read one quoted blog and the comments on it. The blog an
56、d 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. A fascinating new study reveals that Americans are more likely to call their children “intelligent,” while European parents focus on happiness and balance.
