(A)The hard lives of aging migrant workers have come to national attention lately. The media have reported that many migrant workers over the age of 50 say they want to save as much money as their body allows them (25) _ (continue) earning. They have no pensions, which (26) _ (enjoy) by urban workers, and many are still the chief earners of their families. They keep up their energy by (27) _ (eat) more meat, and conceal their age by dying their hair.Commentator Cheng Zhenwei writes on that while the physical well-being of these migrant workers is worrisome, (28) _ conditions of their families and their children are a bigger concern. Many of the migrant workers children are also poor, and have little means to support their parents.Worse still, (29) _ they often dont have are the stomach and will for hard work and also the lack of education or skills to find better-paying jobs. (30) _ (face) with their own difficult economic situation, these migrant workers are short of hope and prospect of inherited poverty on the part of their children, (31) _ is the worst thing for them, according to Cheng. (B)We all know that regular physical exercise is good for a girls body, mind, and spirit. Recently, the Womens Sports Foundation (32) _ (discover) that sports offer some extra benefits for girls (33) _ _ _ having fun and getting fit.Here are a few:Girls who play sports do better in school. It is believed (34) _ athletics will take up all their study time. But research shows that girls who play sports do better in school and are (35) _ (likely) to graduate than those who dont. Exercise improves learning, memory, and concentration, which can give active girls an advantage when it comes to the classroom.Girls who play sports learn teamwork and goal-setting skills. It is by working with coaches and teammates to win games and meet goals (36) _ they get great practice for success later in life. Being a team player can make it easier to work with others and solve problems, (37) _ it is on the field or in the workplace.Sports have hidden health benefits. Girls who play sports are less likely to smoke and have a reduced chance of getting breast cancer later in life. Sure, they (38) _ get these benefits from any type of exercise. But if they have trouble getting to the gym, there may be more incentive (激励) to show up and play if they know their coaches or teammates depend on them.Playing sports builds self-confidence. Girls involved in athletics feel better about (39) _, both physically and socially. It helps to build confidence when they see their skills improving and their goals (40) _ (become) reality. Section B （10分）Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. primarily B. delayed C. interact D. equivalent E. identifiedF. intentions G. acquisition H. overwhelming I. permanently J. comparativek. necessityQuite often, educators tell families of children who are learning English as a second language to speak only English, and not their native language, at home. Although these educators may have good _41_, their advice to families is misguided, and it arises from misunderstandings about the process of language _42_. Educators may fear that children hearing two languages will become _43_ confused and thus their language development will be _44_. Children are capable of learning more than one language, whether simultaneously (同时地) or sequentially (依次地). In fact, most children outside of the United States are expected to become bilingual or even, in many cases, multilingual. Globally, knowing more than one language is viewed as an asset (资产) and even a _45_ in many areas.It is also of concern that the misguided advice that students should speak only English is given _46_ to poor families with limited educational opportunities, not to wealthier families who have many educational advantages. Since children from poor families often are _47_ as at-risk for academic failure, teachers believe that advising families to speak English only is appropriate. Teachers consider learning two languages to be too _48_ for children from poor families, believing that the children are already burdened by their home situations. If families do not know English or have limited English skills themselves, how can they communicate in English? Advising non-English-speaking families to speak only English is _49_ to telling them not to communicate with or _50_ with their children. Moreover, the underlying message is that the familys native language is not important or valued.III. Reading Comprehension Section A （15分）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 or phrase that best fits the context.In the increasingly busier world where productivity is on the minds of many, instead of downloading the latest time management app, or forcing yourself to stay at work for hours on end, is there a(n) _51_ to being productive?The first thing we should know is that willpower is a(n) _52_ source that can be entirely used up. So instead of _53_ yourself to simply try harder, a more methodical approach is suggested.The first step: Get started! It may seem _54_ but studies have shown starting a project to be the biggest barrier to productivity. Before starting, our brain visualizes the hardest parts to come, and instead tries to simulate real work by focusing on small mindless tasks._55_, theres construct of the mind known as the Zeigernik Effect (蔡格尼克效应), which helps humans to finish a task that theyve already started. The Zeigernik Effect shows that when we dont finish a task, we experience _56_ and intrusive thoughts about it. So get started.Now what about time management? Shockingly, when we look at most of the elite musicians in the world, we find that they arent _57_ practicing more. Instead, they focus their energy on the hardest task. Those musicians have periods of intense work followed by breaks. Not relying on willpower, they rely on their _58_ and disciplined scheduling. Studies have found that most elite violinists generally follow a 90 minute work rule with a 15 to 20 minute break afterwards every day. But how can you develop the discipline to follow this _59_?One key point is giving yourself a deadline; write it down; mark it in your calendar. And youll be much more likely to complete your task. On top of this, create something called an accountability (问责制) chart to _60_ your progress. In one column write the time span, and in the other the activities you accomplished during this time, _61_ those on a diet who record their food intake.Writing down your progress allows you to _62_ evaluate your work. As opposed to inaccurately assuming what youve done, further _63_ your progress to the end helps to avoid small mindless work.And finally, stop multitasking. Well it may feel like youre accomplishing more. But actually, studies show that multi-taskers are much less _64_. Instead, try and make a list at night of what you want to accomplish tomorrow. With your action plan, you _65_ the idea of trying to complete multiple activities at once. Your brain will find these less challenging. And it will make the starting process easier. With a clear goal and action plan in mind, your productivity levels can soar to new heights.51. A. room B. secretC. attitude D. origin52. A. outstanding B. inevitable C. exhaustibleD. essential53.

A. stick toB. face up toC. decide onD. get rid ofSection B （24分）Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is Followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Technological change is everywhere and affects every aspect of life, mostly for the better. However, social changes brought about by new technology are often mistaken for a change in attitudes.An example at hand is the involvement of parents in the lives of their children who are attending college. Surveys on this topic suggest that parents today continue to be “very” or “somewhat” overly-protective even after their children move into college dormitories. The same surveys also indicate that the rate of parental involvement is greater today than it was a generation ago. This is usually interpreted as a sign that Todays parents are trying to manage their childrens lives past the point where this behavior is appropriate.However, greater parental involvement does not indicate that parents are failing to let go of their “adult” children.In the context of this discussion, it seems valuable to first find out the cause of change in the case of parents involvement with their grown children. If parents of earlier generations had wanted to be in touch with their college-age children frequently, would this have been possible? Probably not. On the other hand, does the possibility of frequent communication today mean that the impulse to do so wasnt present a generation ago? Many studies show that older parents - todays grandparents - would have called their children more often if the means and cost of doing so had not been a barrier.Furthermore, studies show that finances are the most frequent subject of communication between parents and their college children. The fact that college students are financially dependent on their parents is nothing new; nor are requests for more money to be sent from home. This phenomenon is neither good nor bad; it is a fact of college life, today and in the past.Thanks to the advanced technology, we live in an age of bettered communication. This has many implications well beyond the role that parents seem to play in the lives of their children who have left for college. But it is useful to bear in mind that all such changes come from the technology and not some imagined desire by parents to keep their children under their wings.66. The surveys inform us of _.A. the conditions of college dormitories B. the sign of parents management in their own behaviorsC. the development of communication technologyD. the parents over-protection of their college children67. Which of the following statement does the author most probably agree with?A. Technology explains greater parental involvement with their children.B. Parents changed attitudes lead to college childrens delayed independence.C. Parents today are less protective than those in the past.D. The disadvantages of new technology outweigh its advantages.68. What is the meaning of the word “impulse” in this passage?A. Desperation. B. Admiration. C. Urge. D. Depression.69. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Dependence or Independence. B. Technology or Attitude. C. Family Influence or Social Changes.D. College Management or Communication Advancement.(B)Spanish-American InstituteStudent Cub NotesFree and Low Cost Gyms, Health Clubs and PoolsNYC Department of Parks Recreation CRecreation Centers: TheNYC Department of Parks has many Recreation Centers throughoutNew York City.
