Section Ⅱ Reading (50 minutes)

A
Directions:
Read the following two texts. Answer the questions by
choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.
Text 1
The political career of Cicero, a great Roman statesman and
the most well-known speech maker of his time, was a remarkable one. At the
time, high political offices in Rome, though technically achieved by winning
elections, were almost exclusively controlled by a group of wealthy noble
families that held them for many generations. Cicero’s family, though noble,
was not one of them, nor did it have great wealth. But Cicero had a great deal
of political ambition; at a very young age he chose as his basic belief the
same as Achilles was said to have had: to always be the best and overtop the
rest. Lacking the advantage of a proper family origin, there were especially
only two career options open to them. One was a military career, since military
success was thought to result from exceptional personal qualities and could
lead to popularity and therefore political opportunity as was the case much
later for American presidents Ulysses S. Grant and Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Cicero, however, was no soldier. He hated war, and served in the military only
very briefly as a young man.
Instead, Cicero chose a career in the law. To prepare for
this career, he studied law, rhetoric, and philosophy. When he felt he was
ready, he began taking part in legal cases. A career in the law could lead to
political success for several reasons, all of which are still relevant today.
First, a lawyer would gain a great deal of experience in making speeches.
Second, he could also gain exposure and popularity from cases. Finally, a
successful lawyer would build up a network of political connections, which is
important now but was even more important in Cicero’s time, when political
competition was not conducted along party lines or on the basis of doctrine,
but instead was based on loose, shifting networks of personal friendships and
commitments. Cicero proved to be an excellent speech-maker and lawyer, and an
outstanding politician. He was elected to each of the principal Rome offices on
his first try and at the earliest age at which he was legally allowed to run
for them.
26. To win an important office in Cicero’s time, a candidate
should______.
[A] be born of a wealthy family
[B] possess political experience
[C] launch a national campaign
[D] convince the general public
【答案】A
【解析】由 “At the time, high political offices in
Rome, though technically achieved by winning elections, were almost exclusively
controlled by a group of wealthy noble families（排外性地被富裕的贵族家庭所掌控） that held them for many generations.” 可知，答案为A。
27. Cicero came from a family with ______.
[A] great wealth
[B] remarkable fame
[C] political ambition
[D] noble background
【答案】D
【解析】由 “Cicero’s family,
though noble（尽管高贵）, was not one of them, nor did it
have great wealth.” 可知，答案为D。
28. Unlike Cicero, Ulysses Grant attained his political
position due to ______.
[A] his strong beliefs
[B] his personal relations
[C] his military achievements
[D] his powerful speeches
【答案】C
【解析】由 “One was a military career（军事生涯）, since military success （军事上的成功）was thought
to result from exceptional personal qualities and could lead to popularity and
therefore political opportunity as was the case much later for American
presidents Ulysses S. Grant”可知，答案为C。
29. A Roman politician’s career prospects were strongly influenced by
______.
[A] their party’s support
[B] their social connections
[C] their political doctrine
[D] their public popularity
【答案】B
【解析】由 “Finally, a successful lawyer would build
up a network of political connections, which is important now but was even more
important in Cicero’s time, when political competition
was not conducted along party lines or on the basis of doctrine, but instead
was based on loose, shifting networks of personal friendships and commitments（相反，则是基于自由的、变化的个人友谊和承诺）.”可知，答案为B。
30. Cicero was elected to the principal offices when______.
[A] he got support from his friends
[B] he began his career as a lawyer
[C] he was committed to social services
[D] he was just old enough to run for them
【答案】D
【解析】由 “He was elected to each of the principal
Rome offices on his first try and at the earliest age （最低年龄）at which he was legally allowed to run for them.”答案为D。
Text 2
One of the key challenges in urban architecture over the
next 50 years will be figuring out how to squeeze vast numbers of additional
people into urban areas that are already extremely crowded. London, for
example, will somehow have to deal with a projected 100,000 extra inhabitants
every year until 2016. The current plan of building a new “satellite towns” of the city causes a lot of problems---but architecture think tanks
are working on ambitious solutions that go vertical instead of horizontal in
search of space.
In terms of population density, London is one of the least
crowded major cities in the world---four times fewer people per square
kilometer than Paris, for example, six times fewer than New York and eight
times fewer than Cairo. But the fact remains that the city’s population is growing
at a rapid rate, and horizontal expansion into the surrounding areas is eating
up increasingly important agricultural land, as well as worsening all the
transport problems that come with urban growth.
Popular Architecture would propose a radically different
solution. The proposal is to go upwards, with vertical towers of considerable
size, each representing an entire new town, by the time it’s completed. Each tower
would be 1500 meters high. Beyond mere accommodation, each tower would function
as an entire town unit, with its own schools, hospitals, parks and gardens,
sports faculties, business areas and community spaces. The population density
of such a tower could help lower the individual energy requirements of each
inhabitant, reducing the ecological impact of the population as a whole.
The village towers are considered as hollow tubes, with
large holes to allow light and air though the entire construction. Occasional
floor discs spread throughout the height of the building will give inhabitants
large central areas in the middle of the tube to use as gathering spaces.
While the building itself is unlikely ever to be seriously
considered for construction---imagine the number of elevators it would need,
let alone the safety implications of open areas at such heights and with such
wind exposure---the concept can serve as conversation-starter for urban
planners looking to face the challenges of the current and coming countries.
31. One key challenging task for urban architects in the
future is to ______.
[A] build new satellite towns
[B] work out ambitious plans
[C] design less crowded cities
[D] accommodate more inhabitants
【答案】D
【解析】由 “One of the key challenges in urban
architecture over the next 50 years will be figuring out how to squeeze vast
numbers of additional people（如何能够挤下大量的额外人口） into urban
areas that are already extremely crowded.”可知，答案为D。
32. Which of the following cities has the largest
population density?
[A] Cairo.
[B]Paris.
[C]London.
[D] New York.
【答案】A
【解析】由 “In terms of population density, London is
one of the least crowded major cities in the world---four times fewer（少四倍） people per square kilometer than Paris, for example, six times
fewer（少六倍） than New York and eight times fewer（少八倍） than Cairo.”可知，答案为A。
33. Horizontal expansion not only wastes land, but makes it
hard for London to ______.
[A] handle its safety problems
[B] resolve its transport issues
[C] control its population growth
[D] measure its population density
【答案】B
【解析】由 “But the fact remains that the city’s population is growing at a rapid rate, and horizontal expansion
into the surrounding areas is eating up increasingly important agricultural
land, as well as worsening all the transport problems（使得交通问题进一步恶化） that come with urban growth.”可知，答案为B。
34. The vertical tower would represent an entire new town
in itself because______.
[A] it is energy-saving
[B] it is cost-effective
[C] it is self-sufficient
[D] it is comfort-oriented
【答案】C
【解析】由 “Beyond mere accommodation, each tower
would function as an entire town unit, with its own（拥有自己的设施） schools, hospitals, parks and gardens, sports faculties, business
areas and community spaces.”答案为C。
35. For city planners today, the idea of building a
vertical tower can become______.
[A] a topic for fun
[B] a shocking reality
[C] a modest proposal
[D] a source of inspiration
【答案】D
【解析】conversation-starter（打开话匣子）与a source of inspiration（灵感来源）意思相近。

Read the texts from a magazine article in which five people
talked about fitness tips for men. For questions 36-40, match the name of each
person to one of the statements (A-G) given below. Mark your answers on your
ANSWER SHEET.
John:
One of the main differences between a man’s and a woman’s body is that men are generally less capable of bending their body
than women. You may think it is not important whether your body can bend easily
or not, but it is. Stretching your muscles regularly will help you to move
effectively. It can also help you to stay injury-free, relax your muscles and
in turn reduce stress.
Mike:
Doing uninterrupted sessions may make you feel you are
doing the best thing for your body. But not giving yourself a break between
workouts will mean that you will burn out, and do more harm than good. You
should be taking a day off from exercising every two or three days as a minimum
ideally. Taking a rest will mean that when you train again you can train
harder.
Paul:
Lots of men fall into the trap of thinking that in order to
be better and achieve more, they have to perform all their exercises at a super
fast pace. Although it’s true for some exercises, for others this is just not the case.
Take weight lifting for example. When lifting slowly, you can increase the
amount of time your muscles are tense for and increase the blood flow.
David:
Some men are terrible for sticking to the same fitness
routine, but doing different types of fitness activities means that you work
different parts of your body, and by doing this you improve your core strength
and your balance. It is often difficult for most men to try new things. If you
don’t want
to go into a fitness class on your own, take a friend with you.
Helen:
Women seem to be much better than men at taking a different
approach to fitness. They engage physically and mentally with their fitness
programs, which has many health benefits. One is that your stress levels can
decrease. And some practices of this approach, such as Tai Chi, can improve
bone health. To take advantage of these health benefits, find what suits you
best from among the many different fitness techniques that are out there.
Now match the name of each person (36-40) to the
appropriate statement.
Note: there are two extra statements.

In 2009, Dan Black was hit by a car in his hometown of
Chepstow, Wales, as he was biking to his job at a grocery store. _41_ During
his recovery, he suffered a stroke that rendered his right arm useless. Once a
promising guitarist, Dan, now 25, lives with his parents and requires
around-the-clock care that costs nearly $300,000 a year.
After the accident, a friend of his started the Help Dan
Black Fund to cover some of Dan's medical expenses. Dan learned about an
experimental stem cell treatment in China that could enable him to walk again.
_42_
One day, in 2013, a news story caught the eye of Dan's
mother, Michaela, who then shared the story with her son. The story featured a
five-year-old boy named Brecon Vaughan. _43_ The boy’s family had created a
website with which to raise nearly $100,000 needed for a trip to the St. Louis
Children's Hospital, where treatment was offered that could help Brecon walk.
Only half the amount had been raised, said the report.
Dan deliberated. Then, after considering that his own dream
of walking could be years away, he donated his $30,000 to Brecon’s cause. “_44_ Brecon doesn’t. He needs it much more
than I do.” Dan told a newspaper.
Dan’s generosity received a great deal of attention, and contributions
started pouring in to the Vaughan website. _45_ They’ve
promised to give the excess funds, about $17,000, to the Tree of Hope charity,
which helps sick children in the United Kingdom find specialized medical help.
In October, Brecon and his family travelled to St. Louis to begin treatment.

According to a study, such an action could be _46_ to their
development, and cause them to be more materialistic as adults. The study

possessions define who they are. “Using material possessions to express love or
reward children for their _47_ can have bad effect,” wrote the authors of the study. “It can _48_

The authors surveyed 701 adults to measure the long term

situation and values, and also reported on a _50_ of childhood circumstances,
their relationship with their parents, and the rewards and punishments they
received.

rewards and punishments as children were more likely than others to use
possessions to define who they are. And they were likely to continue rewarding
themselves with material _51_.
Parents should, therefore, be cautious about using material
possessions to express their love and reward their children for good behavior,

childhood can have significant effects. It can _54_ “the way for their
children to grow up to be more likely than others to _55_ people with expensive

57.
Directions:
Read the text below. Write an essay about 120 words, in
which you should summarize the key points of the text and make comments on
them. Try to use your own words.
It seems the nation’s younger citizens are finally favoring the
beauty of the natural world over the cries of amateur singers.
The BBC has confirmed that the first three episodes of
Planet earth Ⅱ have attracted more viewers in the 16 to 34 age group than The X
Factor. The best ratings so far were for the second episode, which brought in
1.8 million young viewers compared to The X Factor’s
1.4 million.
The show’s narrator, Sir David Attenborough credited improvements in
technology with the show’s increased success in its
second season, which have brought animals close to the viewer and made their
environments look real.
“You feel like the camera is with the animals.” said producer Mike Gunton. “It's very
active. For example, you see a monkey leaping through the forest. Normally
you'll stand back to film that. But here the monkey almost jumps over your
shoulder. The camera is running with it. Visually, Planet Earth told you to
look down on the Earth and see the scale of the planet. What Planet earth Ⅱ is doing is saying “Let’s get ourselves into the lives of the animals, and see it from their
perspective.”
“The music of Hans Zimmer is also a big factor,” added Attenborough. “That pleases me
enormously.”
Besides technology and music, Attenborough said that viewers
are “reconnecting
with a planet whose beauty is spoiled and whose health is falling.” He believes that young people are learning that their future is
linked to that of the environment.
