(AE) sensibleJ. (BC) maintainTaboos in AmericaAge.Yes, age is very sensitive subject to many Americans, especially
26、to women over age 30. In this youth upheld culture, the thought of growing older is a painful one and most of us, if possible, would like to have nothing to do with it. So many Americans work hard to _37_ a youthful appearance. The _38_ thing they want to be asked is the unthinkable, “How old are yo
27、u exactly?”Weight.This is one of the touchiest subjects. In America, it is okay, even _39_, to be thin but it is a sin and a huge _40_ to be overweight. In fact, the thinner you are, the prettier you are considered. Looking through any American fashion magazines, youll notice that most models are no
28、thing more than skin and bones. Believe it or not, the tall and thin look was the hottest look of the 1990s.Americans very much mind their weight and _41_ disclose how much they weigh, even if they are thin and in great shape. Therefore, youd best not to ask. But if you _42_ have to comment on this
29、subject, its always safe to say, “Oh, you look like you have lost weight” than “Oh, you look like you put on few pounds”. However, if you would like to be honest but not hurtful, I recommend you _43_ your words carefully, perhaps by saying, “Hey, you look great. Very healthy looking.”And always reme
30、mber, its not fat. Its muscular.Matters of the Heart.This is a tricky one. Sometimes youll run into people who cannot wait to _44_ their hearts to you. Then there are those who make sure their personal business stays behind closed doors. The general rule is not to get too personal, too fast. You don
31、t want others to think that you are looking into their lives. Therefore, try not to ask too many questions about someones love life, marriage and family until you have a friendship with this person. Even then, you better wait for your friend to come to you with the matters of their heart.Anyhow, its
32、 difficult to always avoid conversation landmines, so be _45_, watch your steps and try not to open a can of worms.III. Reading Comprehension (40) Section A (15)Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word
33、or phrase that best fits the context.Singles Day, Ones Day or Guang Gun Jie, is a Chinese pop culture holiday on November 11 for people who are still living the single life.Singles Day was initially celebrated at various universities in Nanjing during the 1990s, and _46_ from Nanjing University in 1
34、993. It got the name Singles Day because the date consists of four _47_. These college students have since graduated, and carried the university _48_ into society. The Singles Day has been largely popularized in the Internet era and is now a special day for all fashionable youths.The main way to cel
35、ebrate Singles Day is to have dinner with your _49_ friends, but its important that each person pay their own way to show their _50_. Some send short messages or e-mails to their single friends to _51_ their best wishes. People also hold blind date parties in an attempt to bid goodbye to their singl
36、e lives. Not every single is happy on this day. They may tease themselves for being still single as a university student. Some prefer to watch movies in a theatre. Some schools of a university would put forward a special program to gather singles together for celebration. In recent years, there has
37、been more social attention to this holiday. _52_, Taobaoshangcheng gives a 50% account on this day. There are many activities on the Internet to help singles find a mate.2011 marked the Singles Day of the Century, this date having six ones rather than four, a(n)_53_ to take celebrations to a higher
38、notch (等级). Shopping promotions were highlighted _54_ China and activities were widespread. _55_ this date comes to celebrate singlehood, the _56_ to find a spouse or mate is also expressed by young Chinese on this date, and other love-related issues are discussed by the Chinese media.For breakfast
39、on Singles Day, singles often eat four Youtiao_57_the four ones in 11.11 and one Baozirepresenting the middle dot.Some singles also choose to say goodbye to their single lives on this day: many attend blind date parties and many people even choose to _58_ on this day. In 2011, higher amounts of marr
40、iages occurred in Hong Kong and Beijing on November 11 than the _59_ daily amount. _60_ meaning single, the four ones of the date can also mean only one as in the only one for me. Some people will use this date and this meaning to tell their special someone that they are the only one in their heart.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits according to the
44、information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Vincent Van Gogh is probably the worlds most famous painter. Many people wonder if he deserves such a reputation. Certainly, he was not a success in his lifetime. Although he produced more than 800 paintings, he sold only one, for about only US
45、$80. No gallery showed his work during his life. Few people may have even heard of him. His fame developed slowly after his death in 1890, but it has never stopped growing. One hundred years later, in 1990, a Japanese businessman paid US $82 million for one of his works a world record.He was born in
46、 the Netherlands in 1853. As a young man, he tried many different jobs. He worked in an art dealers company, but he must have disliked it, because he left. He went to England and became a language teacher. Then, looking for a deeper purpose in life, he worked as a missionary among the poor in Belgiu
47、m, but he quarreled with his superiors and abandoned that career as well. Finally, he decided to become a painter.For the rest of his life, he depended on the financial support of his brother Theo, the only person who believed in his ability. For ten years, from 1880 to 1890, Van Gogh produced his b
48、est paintings, until, sadly, he took his own life.It would be easy to say that he was mad. He had difficulty getting along with people, often arguing with them. After one quarrel, in late 1888, he was so upset that he cut off part of his own ear and gave it to a young girl. Later, from 1889 to 1890,
49、 he spent a year in a mental hospital. Yet, for most of his life, he was completely sane (精神正常的). We know this because he wrote hundreds of letters to Theo expressing his ideas and his work, and these letters show the clarity of his thinking.Does he deserve the fame he now possesses? Certainly. I ad
50、mire his work tremendously. His paintings are realistic, not abstract. At the same time, they are not like photographs. The bright colors and thick strokes of his paintings make the strong feelings inside him visible. Even when his subjects are flowers, trees or the sky, his paintings are full of po
51、werful, honest emotions, emotions which finally killed him.61.The writer suggests that Van Goghs reputation _ .A. was high soon after he diedB. grew steadily after his deathC. quickly developed through EuropeD. stopped growing until the 1980s62.Paragraph 3 implies that in 1890 many people _ .did not
52、 agree with Theos view about his brotherthought Van Gogh had already produced his best paintingsthought Van Gogh had great ability as a painterwere sad when Van Gogh died suddenly63.The writer says that Van Gogh was sane for most of his life. We know this from _ .A. his letters to his brotherB. a Ja
53、panese businessmanC. his religious employersD. his father(B)Alvin E. Roth, who graduated from Columbia Engineering in 1971 and is currently Professor of Economics and Business Administration at Harvard, was awarded the 2012 Nobel Prize in Economics for his pioneering work in the practical design of
54、market institutions. He shares the awardwith Lloyd S. Shapley, professor at UCLA, who also used game theory to better understand different matching methods.The Royal Swedish Academy, which announced the winners this morning, awarded the two researchers the prize for “an outstanding example of econom
55、ic engineering,” and while they worked independently of one another, the “combination of Shapleys basic theory and Roths empirical investigations, experiments, and practical design has generated a flourishing field of research and improved the performance of many markets.” They will share the $1.2 m
56、illion prize.“We are absolutely thrilled,” said Dean and Professor of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research (IEOR). “Columbia Engineering now has two graduates who have won the Nobel Prize in Economics, Robert C. Merton in 1997 and Alvin E. Roth in 2012, both from programs now housed in the
57、 IEOR Department! This is another highly visible confirmation of the great strengths at our schoolsuperb students and professors.”Roth and his colleagues demonstrated that stability is the key to understanding the success of particular market institutions. Roth began studying the labor market for Am
58、erican doctors in the early 1980s, and was asked to direct its redesign in 1995. The Roth-Peranson (1999) algorithm is now used to organize a number of medical and health care markets. Roths research has led to the redesign of such complex systems as assigning students to public schools in large urb
59、an cities and the matching of kidney and other human organs to patients in need of a transplant.After receiving his B.S. from the Engineering School in 1971, Roth moved to California to complete his masters and doctorate at Stanford University, both in operations research, in 1973 and 1974, respecti
60、vely. He began his academic career as a professor after graduation and joined Harvard in 1998 and now is also a visiting professor of Economics at Stanford where he will join the faculty full-time in 2013. Roth has received numerous professional honors and awards in recognition of his research.Last
