Section B
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
The calm waters of Rose Bay in Sydney are disturbed only when a sea plane comes into land and take off again. In some way, Rose Bay has witnessed the surprising history of flying boats, type of early sea plane. On fifth of July, 1938, an empire class flying boat departed from here, Australia's first international airport. It was heading for England and mark the start of the golden age of flying boats. Over ten days, with thirty stops along the route, passengers enjoyed a first-class service, including breakfasts of fruit, steak, juice and wine.
But the flight didn't come cheap. Tickets were far beyond the reach of most Australians at a price that was equivalent to an annual salary. The service was suspended in 1942 as war took hold, and the planes were officially used by the air force. By the time normal life started again after the war, land-based aircraft had developed rapidly, and flying boats were looking increasingly out of date. However, Sydney and its vast waters remained well placed to exploit their resources, and so began a new age for the flying boats.
Questions:
11. When did the golden age of flying boats start?
12. Why was the service of empire class flying boats stopped in the early 1940s?
13. What is the speaker mainly talking about?
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
According to some psychologists, intelligence is the ability to learn from experience, adapt to new situations, understand and handle abstract concepts, and use knowledge to change one's environment. Skills like learning, memory, reasoning, and problem solving enhance these abilities. Therefore, certain habits may be evidence you've got these skills. For example, it is commonly thought that those who are intelligent are organized and have everything in their work space arranged neatly. But that's not the case.
In an experiment from the University of Minnesota, people in a messy setting came up with more creative ideas than those in a neat space. Kathleen Watts, study author says disorderly environments seem to inspire breaking free of tradition, which can produce fresh idea. Orderly environments, in contrast, encourage following traditions and playing it safe. But according to Jonathan White, a research scientist at Duke University, creativity is one of the qualities that smarter people tend to possess, and it may actually lead to messiness. He says it's not messiness that helps creativity, but creativity which may create messiness. Such people tend to get lost in thought while focusing on a problem or issue. And cleanliness becomes of less importance than focusing on the problem at hand.
Questions:
14. According to the passage, what are intelligent people like in most people's eyes?
15. According to Jonathan White from Duke University, Which of the following statements is true?
16. What is the passage mainly about?
Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.
W: James, have you read about the new research into the human brain?
M: Not yet. What does it say?
W: It says men are better at some things like map reading and finding direction, while women are better at other things, like remembering words and faces.
M: Interesting! Now I understand why I'm the one in my family who does all the map reading.
W: The research was done by a team from the University of Pennsylvania. They looked at the brains of nearly one thousand men and women and found they are wired differently.
M: Wired differently? You mean “connected in different ways”?
W: Right! In males, the stronger connections run within each half of the brain. In women, the stronger connections are between the two sides of the brain.
M: I see.
#p#分頁標題#e#W: The difference might explain why men are better at learning and performing a single task, like reading maps or cycling. But women are often better at doing several things at the same time. They can also concentrate on a task for longer.
M: Now, I can understand why I cannot do several things together.
W: But not everyone agrees. A professor from the University of Oxford said the connections inside the brain are not permanently fixed, and the brain is very complex. Without sufficient data, you can't jump to any general conclusions.
M: I guess the professor is right.
(Now, listen again.)
Questions:
17: What is the conversation mainly about?
18: Compared with women's brains, what does the new research find out about men's brains?
19: According to the new research, which of the following are women better at?
20: What does the professor from the University of Oxford think of the new research findings?

Drayton believes we're in the middle of a necessary but painful historical transition. For millenniums most people's lives had a certain pattern. You went to school to learn a trade or a skill一baking, farming or accounting. Then you could go into the work force and make a good living repeating the same skill over the course of your career.
Changemakers are people who can see the patterns around them, identify the problems in any situation, figure out ways to solve the problem, organize fluid teams, lead collective action and then continually adapt as situations change.
To form and lead this community of communities, Gallardo had to possess what Drayton calls “cognitive empathy-based living for the good of all." Cognitive empathy is the ability to perceive how people are feeling in evolving circumstances. “For the good of all” is the capacity to build teams.It doesn' t matter if you are working in the cafeteria or the inspection line of a plant, companies will now only hire people who can locate problems and organize responses.
Ashoka has studied social movements to find out how this kind of mental shift can be promoted. It turns out that successful movements take similar steps.

The rise of “city breaks” - 48-hour bursts of foreign cultures, easier on the pocket and annual leave balance has increased tourist numbers, but not their geographic spread. The same attractions have been used to market cities such as Paris, Barcelona and Venice for decades, and visitors use the same infrastructure as residents to reach them. “Too many people do the same thing at the exact same time," says Font. “For locals, the city no longer belongs to them."
A greater variety of guidance for prospective visitors 一 ideas for what to do in off-peak seasons, for example, or outside of the city centre 一 can have the effect of diverting them from already saturated landmarks, or discouraging short breaks away in the first place. Longer stays ease the pressure, says Font. “If you go to Paris for two days, you're going to go to the Eiffel Tower. If you go for two weeks, you're not going to go to the Eiffel tower 14 times."
Local governments can foster this sustainable activity by giving preference to responsible operators and even high-paying consumers. Font says cities could stand to be more selective about the tourists they try to attract when the current metric for marketing success is how many there are, and how far they've come. “You're thinking, 'yeah, but at what cost……'"
Infrastructure：基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施，公共建設(shè)
accommodation：住處，膳宿
guidance:指導，引導。在非高峰季節(jié)做什么,例如,轉(zhuǎn)移到城市中心以外的地區(qū)旅游。

He points to unpublished data from the Barcelona Tourist Board that prioritizes Japanese tourists for spending an average of 40 Eruos more per day than French tourists 一a comparison that fails to take into account their bigger carbon footprint. French tourists are also more likely to be repeat visitors that come at off-peak times, buy local produce, and spread out to less crowded parts of the city all productive steps towards more sustainable tourism, and more peaceful relations with residents.

閱讀 c 篇
A nuclear sector deal, unveiled last month, promised up to ￡56m in funding for research and development into AMRs and attracted interest of start-ups from around the world. The government hopes the funding will give the UK a lead in the global race to develop these technologies, helping to provide energy security while also creating a multibillion-dollar export market for British engineering companies.
“There is a big global market for small reactors. They can be deployed in more and different locations to large reactors,” said Fiona Reilly, chair of the expert finance working group set up by the UK government.
“The key differences with large reactors are how these smaller reactors are built — a large proportion of factory build and therefore less construction risk, and significantly smaller capital costs. Both these factors should help to attract private finance,” added Ms Reilly.
Eight companies attended a meeting in Birmingham last week after securing funding from the UK government as part of its initiative. Among them was U-Battery, a UK-based consortium that includes Urenco, the uranium enrichment group.
“Capital cost is important in nuclear,” said Steve Threlfall, general manager of U-Battery, which estimates one of its individual reactors would cost about ￡40m once multiple units have been built. The cost to build the first unit would be about ￡76m.
Other aspiring builders, include Britain’s Moltex Energy and Tokamak Energy, Sweden’s LeadCold and the US Advanced Reactor Concepts (ARC), as well as a consortium involving China’s Institute of Nuclear Energy Technology.
They all offer a range of different technologies for numerous applications, from providing just electricity to a combination of heat and power. Some could be used to generate hydrogen. What makes them attractive is their flexibility as they can be deployed in different scenarios, helping to power a big industrial site or providing heat and power to a remote location that is not able to access a central transmission grid. Others can be built in clusters and in essence operate more like a conventional reactor.
Small nuclear reactors are not brand new. They are on board nuclear submarines while Russia has nuclear-operated icebreakers in the Arctic. National laboratories have also been researching the technology for decades, but nothing is yet in commercial operation at any scale.
The first three advanced modular reactors are expected to start commercial operations in China, Russia and Argentina by 2020, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency.
Future generation reactors: Two contenders
Moltex Energy’s SSR-W
The privately held British company backed by wealthy individuals is focused on molten salt reactors. Co-founder Ian Scott said they can generate heat of 600 degrees that is high enough for cheap energy storage in “solar salt”, creating in essence a battery for release when needed and to back up wind and solar power.
Private and state-owned companies are increasingly vying for a role. In the US, notable names include TerraPower, partly founded by Bill Gates, and NuScale in Oregon, which is also looking to expand into the UK market. NuScale’s reactor — based on a light water reactor and seen as being closer to commercialisation — is under review for approval by US regulators. Its technology involves 50MW “power modules”, up to 12 of which could be combined to create a 600MW plant.
Canada, in particular, is seen as a potentially lucrative market by private developers of the technology. Reactors could help replace coal plants, provide local power for resource extraction such as in oil recovery or serve remote communities that are not connected to the grid.
Moltex Energy recently signed a deal with a Canadian-government owned utility to work towards building a 300MW commercial demonstration version of its stable salt reactor.
Ian Scott, co-founder of Moltex, said the company still believed the UK market was attractive “if you get the economics right”. Not only does the country have a need for a large amount of energy but it also benefits from a good regulator, good levels of nuclear expertise and a “generally pro-nuclear population”, he said.
Yet even the smaller reactors face a cost challenge. The higher cost to build the first of a kind reactor is regarded as a key challenge for the nascent industry, coupled with getting the technologies licensed. An independent report by Atkins and EY, the consultancy, and commissioned by the UK government two years ago, found that first of a kind costs for small modular reactors would be higher relative to large nuclear reactors.
But this does not mean the big dream for small nuclear is over, said Dougald Middleton, partner at EY. “The first customer would not carry all of the product development costs for a car or a commercial jet.”Chinese partner for DBD bid.
A Chinese nuclear institute has emerged as one of the winners of the UK government’s recent competition for advanced modular reactors, the Financial Times can reveal.
The Institute of Nuclear and New Energy Technology (INET), a research department based at Tsinghua University, is the prime sub-contractor on the contract. It has partnered with a UK-based engineering advisory group, DBD, which is spearheading the bid but the Chinese role was not disclosed in the government release on the deal. China already holds a stake in the Hinkley Point nuclear plant but ministers have been sensitive to the country having a controlling stake in projects.
The partnership, said David Cuming, DBD’s managing director of emerging markets, was “meant to be beneficial to both countries”. China, he added, “has a nuclear industry that is highly developed”.
The consortium will study the application of a Chinese design that uses pebble bed technology. These reactors are fuelled by circulating fuel pebbles that produce high-temperature heat that can be used for a wide range of applications. The technology enables the reactors to gradually cool down without any intervention if an accident happens.
INET started building its first experimental reactor in 1995 as one of China’s key national sponsored programmes. In 2006, Tsinghua University co-invested Rmb3bn with Huaneng and China Nuclear Power, two Chinese state-owned energy companies, to build a reactor with a capacity of 221MW of electricity in the Shandong province.

提高SW攻略：
何謂概要寫作？顧名思義，是一個篇章的簡短形式，或者說，是壓縮版的篇章。為什么要考概要寫作？是為了檢驗你對篇章的理解能力—首先，你得讀懂文章。如果整個文章你都不知所云，寫出來的summary writing(以下縮寫為SW)只能說是你創(chuàng)作的一篇小作文。再者，SW考查同學們提取關(guān)鍵信息的能力—如果把次要信息都放了進去，有超過字數(shù)限制(60字，多一個都不行)的潛在危險，還說明你還是沒有把握住文章的主要內(nèi)容，那就再去讀。另外一個關(guān)鍵得分點，也是評分標準里要求的，要客觀總結(jié)作者觀點，不要摻雜自己的看法。筆者以往數(shù)次遇到這樣的同學—英語功底很扎實，作文寫的也不錯，一到SW就發(fā)怵，因為你看他(她)的SW，就像是在看一篇全新的文章—因為加了太多他自己的評價，可是事實上，原文作者也很冤枉，他真的沒有那個意思??！
這樣就會造成一個尷尬的極端—有同學會想:不加自己的想法可以啊，保險點，我用原文中的詞總沒錯了吧？不好意思，評分標準里也說了，用你自己的語言總結(jié)，如果發(fā)現(xiàn)連續(xù)的三四個詞或以上都是出自原文，是要扣分的！另外，避免在文章中涵蓋具體動作或是事件的詳細信息。60個字的字數(shù)限制，光總結(jié)全文大意都緊緊張張的，就不要加什么細節(jié)了吧！
從結(jié)構(gòu)而言，SW又有點像論文，所以排篇布局時，也可以模仿論文的結(jié)構(gòu)—介紹、主干、總結(jié)。通讀全文之后，找到每一小段的中心句，為了避免重復原文，用paraphrase的方式(用英語解釋英語)總結(jié)一下，然后把幾個關(guān)鍵信息點按照邏輯連接起來，后檢查一下，自己通讀一遍，體會一下跟原文作者想表達的觀點是否一致。
想要寫好SW,非一朝一夕之功，需要多練習才可以寫好。這其中包涵了優(yōu)秀的閱讀理解能力、概括總結(jié)能力、寫作能力，還有堅實的語法基礎(chǔ)。愿同學們都能答好這一道題！

2.給出理由
Dear Li Nan,
Delighted to learn that your admirable idea of developing a new application for sharing clothes that can also make profits for sharer, I am willing to share my own. From my perspective, it is undoubtedly a wisdom at the rational disposal of idle clothes.
To begin with, a numerous amount of money will be saved by sharing what we seldom, or even never put on. Overlooking the current society, we may clearly see that fashion takes a leading position. The pursuit of diversity in dressing drives us to consume more by purchasing fashionable clothes rather than keeping an unchanged and dull style. Thanks to the benefits of sharing clothes, not only will the spending be greatly cut down, but also it will satisfy different appetites for various demands. Not only that, profits we earn provide us with another free choice. Moreover, sharing clothes contributes to environment protection as well as resource preservation. Whether during the period of production or at the disposal of the remaining, toxic components or chemical ingredients, to some extent, have negative impacts on our surroundings. It is sharing clothes that prolongs the life cycle of clothes and avoids unnecessary waste as well. Thus, the edge of sharing clothes is by no means disappointing at this aspect.
In a word, though many factors still should be taken into consideration in advance before popularizing, I firmly believe that this creative idea will prevail in the near future. If permitted, I would like to be your first supporter.
Yours Sincerely,
