I. Cloze (20%)
Direction: Read the passage carefully, and fill in each blank with the words given below. You can’t use
any word twice.
punishments when police breaking running
license driving illegal implemented credit
move discourage such as introduction similar
traffic consideration offenses purpose number
ON NOV 8 AND 9, a national police conference on urban traffic management was held in
Shanghai, according to which the 1 will put traffic violations, especially serious illegal conducts
and accidents, in the credit records of the drivers.
The drivers that cause major accidents, 2 those involving casualties, face criminal charges or
other deserved 3 , but the penalties for illegal behavior that is potentially dangerous but has not
caused an accident, such as 4 a red light, are far from enough as drivers only get a fine and
decreasing points on their 5 , which fails to curb their bad 6 habits.
That's why the new measure, namely listing 7 driving conducts into drivers' 8___
records, is a welcome 9 . It will help effectively 10 people from breaking the law. With the
11 of this new measure, people are expected to be more careful 12 driving.
Some cities have already adopted a 13 policy, namely raising the insurance for those who
have been caught 14 the rules of the road. That has proved successful because the data show a
decrease in the 15 of drivers caught running red lights and breaking the 16 rules.
Of course, citizens' rights must be taken into 17 when implementing the policy including
driving 18 on their credit records. Drivers should be able to appeal, and the power to edit people's
credit records should be transparent to ensure it is not abused.
Only the rule of law can govern modern society well, and credit records best serve that 19 .
The new measure is therefore welcome and we hope it can be 20 smoothly and effectively.

Passage One
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.
I'm usually fairly skeptical about any research that concludes that people are either happier or
unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago. While any of these
statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, I was struck by a
report which concluded that today’s children are significantly more anxious than children in the 1950s.
In fact, the analysis showed, normal children ages 9 to 17 exhibit a higher level of anxiety today than
children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago.
Why are America’s kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes: increasing physical
isolation — brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, among other things
— and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place.
Given that we can’t turn the clock back, adults can still do plenty to help the next generation
cope.
At the top of the list is nurturing (培育) a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. No
child is an island. Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against
stress.
To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can pull the plug on TVs and computers.
Your family will thank you later. They will have more time for face-to-face relationships, and they will
get more sleep.
Limit the amount of virtual (虚拟的) violence your children are exposed to. It’s not just video
games and movies; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news.
Keep your expectations for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people never
attended Harvard or Yale.
Make exercise part of your daily routine. It will help you cope with your own anxieties and
provide a good model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable. But it doesn’t have to ruin your
life.
1. The author thinks that the conclusions of any research about people’s state of mind are _______.
A) surprising B) confusing C) illogical D) questionable
2. What does the author mean when he says, “we can’t turn the clock back” (Line 1, Para. 3)?
A) It’s impossible to slow down the pace of change.
B) The social reality children are facing cannot be changed.
C) Lessons learned from the past should not be forgotten.
D) It’s impossible to forget the past.

A) to provide them with a safer environment B) to lower their expectations for them
C) to get them more involved socially D) to set a good model for them to follow
5. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?
A) Anxiety, though unavoidable, can be coped with.
B) Children’s anxiety has been enormously exaggerated.
C) Children’s anxiety can be eliminated with more parental care.
D) Anxiety, if properly controlled, may help children become mature.
Passage Two
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:
Engineering students are supposed to be examples of practicality and rationality, but when it
comes to my college education I am an idealist and a fool. In high school I wanted to be an electrical
engineer and, of course, any sensible student with my aims would have chosen a college with a large
engineering department, famous reputation and lots of good labs and research equipment. But that's not
what I did.
I chose to study engineering at a small liberal arts (文科) university that doesn't even offer a major
in electrical engineering. Obviously, this was not a practical choice; I came here for more noble reasons.
I wanted a broad education that would provide me with flexibility and a value system to guide me in
my career. I wanted to open my eyes and expand my vision by interacting with people who weren't
studying science or engineering. My parents, teachers and other adults praised me for such a sensible
choice. They told me I was wise and mature beyond my 18 years, and I believed them.
I headed off to college sure I was going to have an advantage over those students who went to big
engineering “factories” where they didn't care if you had values or were flexible. I was going to be a
complete engineer: technical genius and sensitive humanist (人文学者) all in one. Now I'm not so sure.
Somewhere along the way my noble ideals crashed into reality, as all noble ideals eventually do. After
three years of struggling to balance math, physics and engineering courses with liberal arts courses, I
have learned there are reasons why few engineering students try to reconcile (协调) engineering with
liberal arts courses in college.
