Grammar and Vocabulary (20 )(10 )While income worry is a rather common problem of the ag

12、ed, loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face. Of all the reasons (21)explain their loneliness, a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one. This phenomenon is commonly known as Empty Nest Syndrome巢综合症).In order to seek (22)(good) chances outside

13、their countries, many young people have gone abroad, (23)(leave) their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home. Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them. The fact

14、(24)most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty (25)they would have if they had not left their countries. (26) the case, it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match (27)t

15、hey actually do.

18、ound that lodging with a student of a different race may decrease _32_and force students to engage in more ethnically diverse friendships. An Ohio State University study also found that black students living with a white roommate saw higher _33_success throughout their college careers. Researchers b

19、elieve this may be caused by social pressure.In a New York Times article, Sam Boakye - the only black student on his freshman year floor -said that “ if you re surrounded by whites, you have something to prove.” Researchers also oproblems resulting from _34_interracial students in residences.Accordi

20、ng to two recent studies, randomly assigned roommates of different races are more likely to experience conflicts so_35_that one roommate will move out. An Indiana University study found that interracial roommates were three times as likely as two white roommates to no longer live together by the end

21、 of the semester. Grace Kao, a professor at Penn said she was not surprised by the findings. “ Thismay be the first time that some of these students have_36_, and lived, with someone of a different race,d.” she saiAt Penn, students are not asked to indicate race when _37_for housing.“ One of the grt

22、hings about freshman housing is that, with some_38_, the process throws you together randomly, ” said Undergraduate Assembly chairman Alec Webley. “ This is the definition of integration. / ” “ I evxeperienced roommate conflicts between interracial students that have both broken down stereotypes and

23、_39_stereotypes,” said one Penn resident advisor （RA）. The RA oftwo years added that while some conflicts provided mor“e multicultural acceptance and melding （ 融 合 ）, ” there were also “jarring cultural resistance. T”he RA said that these conflicts have also occurred among roommates of the same race

24、.Kao said she_40_against forming any generalizations based on any one of the studies, noting that more background characteristics of the students need to be studied and explained. III. Reading Comprehension Section AWhile awareness and mastery of skills are important steps in any learning process, i

25、t is only when conscious skills are put to work that you will experience the involvement and excitement that accompany personal growth. The _41_ mimicking （ 模仿） sounds, the youngster practicing to ride his bicycle, the teenager learning to drive, the adult preparing to buy a house-all experience a g

26、ood deal of anticipation （希望 ）, but the anticipation pales next to the_42_of first communicating verbally or riding a bicycle solo or taking that first drive or moving into that first home._43_, social interaction is the highest degree of personal involvement, the logical peak experience towards wha

27、t awareness and mastery lead.More than any other experience it is social interaction by which a person _44_, expands, and develops his own personality._45_, the more involved you are, the more experiences you have, the greater will be the actualization of your personality. If, _46_, you are an activ

28、e person in your community, your personality will express this activity by its positive and _47_nature. If, on the other hand, you are passive, merely allowing yourself to be_48_without any involvement in the day-to-day activities of your community, you risk boredom and dullness. Much has been writt

29、en about the “ mass man ” and about the_49_of the average citizen to affectwhnisdoestiny. Involved persons are not mass men or _50_ citizens. / Involvement in your community means developing your community and yourself by direct and_51_social interaction. Since this interaction could involve you in

30、any and all of the functions of your community, we suggest here that you select foryour involvement activities which are most_52_to you. You might consider your future career plans, hobbies, or educational interests as _53_ for your decision. For once you begin to be involved in your community and o

31、nce you experience your own _54_ in self-awareness through community awareness, you may very well find social interaction a life-time project, _55_whereyour community may be or how it may change.A. girlA. realizationA.

34、ently, women in advertisements wore one of three things an apron, an attractivedress or a frown. Although that is now changing, many women still feel angry enough to defaceoffending advertisements with stickers protesting,This ad degrades women. ” Why does this sadvertising exist? How can advertiser

35、s and ad agencies still produce, sometimes, after months of research, advertising that offends the consumer?The Advertising Standards Authority, the body which deals with complaints about print media, is carrying out research into how women feel about the way they are pictured in advertisements. Its

36、 conclusions are likely to be what the advertising industry already knows: although women are often annoyed by the ads, few feel strongly enough to complain.Women are not the only victims of poor and boring stereotypesin many TV commercialsmen are seen either as useless, childish fools who are unabl

37、e to perform the simplest household tasks, or as inconsiderate fellows, always on the lookout for an escape to the pub. But it is women who seem to suffer more from the industry s apparent inability to put people into an authe-dnatiyc presentsituation.Yet according to Emma Bennett, director of a Lon

38、don advertising agency, women are not aggressive or extremely angry about those stereotypes and sexist advertising. “ Theyjust find it annoying or tiresome. They” reluctantly accept outdated stereotypes, but have a sigh of relief when an advertisement really gets it right.” She says that it is not a

39、dvertising s use of the houthat bothers women, but the way in which it is handled. “ Themost important thing is the advertisementtonse of voice. Women hate being insincerely praised or given desperatelydown-to-earth common- sense advice. ”In the end, the responsibility for good advertising must be s

40、hared between the advertiser, theadvertising agency and the consumer. Advertising does not set trends but it reflects them. It is up to the consumer to tell advertisers where they fail, and the process of change will remain slow until people on the receiving end take the business seriously and make

41、their feelings known.Despite recent changes in attitudes, some advertisements still fail to .change women s opinions of themselvesshow any understanding of consumers feelingspersuade the public to buy certain productsmeet the needs of the advertising industryThe advertisers don t give up presenting

42、misleading image of women in ads mainly because _.consumers seldom make complaints about itthey are ignorant about consumers feelingsThey aren t afraid of being complained aboutconsumers don t take the advertiseenmts seriouslyAccording to the author, the most crucial factor in the improvement of the

43、 advertisements is .A. the industry B. the advertisers C. the productsD. the consumers(B)Its finally over. We mean both the Oscar telecast, which ran as long as Gone With the Wind (though with fewer important roles for African Americans), and the three-month death march of critics citations, guild (

44、行业 ) awards and expert opinions on whod win. In case you nodded off, Birdman took Best Picture and Director, and the acting prizes went to Eddie Redmayne for The Theory of Everything , Julianne Moore for Still Alice , J.K. Simmons for Whiplash and Patricia Arquette for Boyhood - four folks whom most

45、 people know from the speeches they gave, not the movies they were in.This year, the only big hit among the eight Best Picture finalists was American Sniper. The other seven were art-house films. You see, there is Hollywood, which makes movies the whole world watches, and there is off-Hollywood, whi

46、ch hatches the films that get Oscars. Somebody has to ask: Why does Hollywood hate what it does for a living?It cant be as simple as films are great and movies are rubbish. On the Rotten Tomatoes website, which shows the reviews of dozens of critics, Birdman pulled a 93 rating (out of 100) and The I

47、mitation Game an 89. But some popular hits also scored with the critics: 91 for Guardians of the Galaxy, 89 for Captain America : The Winter Soldier , 88 for Gone Girl and a dramatic 96 for The Lego Movie. Audiences liked these four films too, paying more than $1 billion to see them in North America

48、n theaters (plus another $1.3 billion abroad).So why werent at least a couple of these films nominated(提名)for Best Picture? Maybe simply because they were popular. They got their awards as cash prizes, not Oscar statuettes. The Oscar winners have become a category of little films about big diseases.

49、 Another disconnect between Oscar voters and moviegoers: ages. The average age of the 6,700 Academy members is about 60, and they see most of the nominated films on screeners at home. Basically, they want movies to be television: educating, intimate (亲密的) dramas. The stories they respond to are not

50、of youngsters ongrand quests - the action-film - but of unsung heroes battling weakness and approaching death.The very first Oscar party, in 1929, had two Best Picture categories: one for outstanding picture (William Wellmans spectacle Wings), the other for unique and artistic picture (F.YV Murnaus

51、masterpiece Sunrise). Maybe the Academy, obsessed with indie (独立制片的) artistry should return to the double award. Then Avatar could win along with The Hurt Locker , am Gravity with 12 Years a Slave. Next year, even the new Star Wars might have a shot.It can be inferred from the last sentence of Parag

52、raph l that .not many people saw the four filmsawards shouldnt be given to the four peoplethe four actors and actresses made great speechesthe four films won the awards as expectedWhy does the author mention these films in Paragraph 2?To introduce the great films that are worth watching.To explain w

53、hy some films are given a higher score than others.To illustrate there are films welcomed by both viewers and critics.To highlight the importance of turning to critics reviews when choosing films.Which of the following statements is the author most likely to agree with?Less emphasis should be given

54、to moviegoers opinions about films.Oscar voters are unsung heroes fighting against weakness.Being popular may prevent a film winning Oscar awards.It is better to see a film in the cinema than at home.What suggestion does the author give about Oscar awards?Having more independent film makers nominate

55、d for awards.Setting up an award for the films different from present winners.Improving the standard for outstanding films.Giving more chances to the greatest hits.(C)You stare at waterfall for a minute or two, and then shift your gaze to its surroundings. What you now see appears to drift upward.Th

56、ese optical illusions occur because the brain is constantly matching its model of reality to signals from the body s sensors and interpreting what must be happtehnaitnygour brain must have moved, not the other; that downward motions is now normal, so a change from it must now be perceived as upward

57、motion.The sensors that make this magic are of two kinds. Each eye contains about 120 million rods, which provide somewhat blurry black and white vision. These are the windows of night vision; once adapted to the dark, they can detect a candle burning ten miles away.Color vision in each eye comes fr

58、om six to seven million structures called cones. Under ideal conditions, every cone can “ seet”he entire rainbow spectrum of visible colors, but one type of cone is most sensitive to red, another to green, a third to blue.Rods and cones send their messages pulsing an average 20 to 25 times per secon

59、d along the optic nerve. We see an image for a fraction of a second longer than it actually appears. In movies, reels of still photographs are projected onto screens at 24 frames per second, tricking our eyes into seeing a continuous moving picture.Like apparent motion, color vision is also subject

60、to unusual effects. When day gives way tonight, twilight brings what the poet T.S. Eliot called“ the violet hour. ” A light levels fall, thebecome progressively less responsive. Rods are most sensitive to the shorter wavelengths of blue and green, and they impart a strange vividness to the garden s
