Passage 1

Read the following passage and answer the questions by choosing the corresponding letter A, B, c or D.

Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET (10 points, 2 points each).

Britain's national newspapers registered their profound shock at Donald Trump's victory over Hillary Clinton with pages and pages of coverage. In lengthy editorials, leader writers sought to make sense of w hat, the Times referred to as“ "the most dramatic insurgency in American political history”. Every paper has views on why it happened, of course, and there is a considerable, and somewhat surprising, measure of agreement across the political spectrum.

The Times points out that Trump's base, white working-class men, was bolstered by white women with college degrees, plus nearly one-third of Asian and Hispanic voters. For all of them, Trump“ was the change candidate”". And that change is scary, with the threat to impose stiff tariffs on Chinese and Mexican imports.

Trump's victory was, said the Daily Telegraph, “America's Brexit moment". His campaign“ was based on being the outsider who would give the political establishment a bloody nose” Trump“ is not a right winger" in economic terms and, on social policy,“ he has mostly adopted liberal positions". Nor is he a left winger, because he believes in low taxes and has been strident in his comments about immigration. But his protectionism is problematic. It would help no one, said the Telegraph, "least of all those Americans who want Mr. Trump to improve their lives". The Daily Mail reads Trump's win as a revolt against “a complacent liberal elite". It was“ an unmistakable warning to the west's 'we know best’ political class”, who have nothing but“ contempt for the ordinary people w hose interests they profess to hold dear". Voters “were fed up with having their concerns about mass immigration ignored", and were“ sick to death.. of a political class bailing out super -rich bankers while family budgets were relentlessly squeezed". For the Mail, the result is“ a warning to all liberal elites, including the French, Germans and those who seek to frustrate Brexit, of the penalty for ignoring the electorate".

Like the Mail, the Sun also sees an equivalency between the vote for Trump and the vote to leave the EU, contending that “smug lefties ... should condemn less and seck to understand more".

The Guardian is concerned that Trump's presidency could herald America's “most stunning reversal of political and economic orthodoxy since the New Deal in the 1930s", but with the opposite intention and effect.“ It signals a seismic rupture in the American-dominated global liberal economic and political order that had seemed to command the 21st century after communism collapsed and China's economy soared."

In pointing out that Americans had chosen“ a political neophyte" with a simple slogan, “Make America great again", the Financial Times argued that it had revealed“ profound faultlines in American society exposed by the global financial crisis". If Trump carries out his threat to start tariff wars with global partners, “the world will be poorer as a whole" and the consequent “effects on inequality are unlikely to be the ones that Mr. Trump's working-class supporters expect".

So there is a great deal of agreement about why Trump won, but precious little advice on how to cure the problems that gave rise to his victory.

1. What does the following sentence imply?Trump 's victory was, said the Daily Telegraph, “America 's Brexit moment".

A. Trump has adopted liberal positions.

B. Trump was neither right winger nor a left winger.

C. Trump has shown negative attitude towards immigration.

D. Trump represents common people's victory over the political establishment.

2. What view does the Daily Mail hold concerning the win of Trump?

A. Trump wins because he is a supporter of Brexit.

B. Trump satisfies and represents the ordinary people's interests.

C. The liberal elites shouldn't have neglected the electorate power.

D. It is a revenge to the political class 's contempt of the ordinary people.

3. What does the Guardian's general view of Trump's presidency suggest?

A. Trump will reverse the policies written in the New Deal.

B. The US will regain a dominating position in the global economy.

C. Trump w il make America great again.

D. There will be a dramatic change in the global economic and political order.

4. According to the newspapers, the following may be the possible effects of Trump's presidency to the world economy EXCEPT

A. US may start tariff wars with global partners.

B. US may be immune to the global financial crisis.

5. According to the article, which newspaper demonstrates the most different concern relating to the issue of Trump's election?

A. the Daily Mail

B. The Guardian

C. The Sun

D. the Daily Telegraph

[答案与解析]

1.A根据文章第 三段的第二句话“he has mostly adopted liberal positions",可知在政策上，特朗普主要采取自由主义的立场。故选A。

2.D根据 文章第三段的最后一句话“a warning to all liberal elites, including the French, Germans and those who seek to frustrate Brexit, of the penalty for ignoring the electorate",可知这是政治阶层蔑视普通选民带来的后果。故选D.

Passage 2

Read the following passage and answer the questions by choosing the corre sponding Setter A, B, C or D.

Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET(10 points, 2 points each).

A review of 172 economics modules at seven UK universities showed that only 22% of exam marks required students to illustrate any critical or independent thinking and this dropped to 6.7% for compulsory modules. It is not an overstatement to say that economics students can go through their entire degree without once being asked to express an opinion. This is at odds With what employers of economics graduates need and what citizens expect from the experts responsible for the health of their economy. The good news then is that universities are beginning to change. Manchester has brought in new modules on economic policy and financial crises and Cambridge has introduced a new module on economic history. Some universities including Greenwich, Goldsmiths and Kingston have gone even further and are fully reforming their curricula. These are major achievements and they illustrate that there is widespread agreement that economics education must be better.

This doesn't mean our campaign is over though; only that the fault lines have shifted. Pretty much everyone now agrees that an economics education must include more history, critical thinking and engagement with the real world. However, the call for pluralism- possibly the most important aspect of our campaign- is still rejected by most universities. Bconomics educ ation currently teaches only one perspective, neoclassical economics: of the 172 module course outlines we analysed, only 17 mentioned alternative perspectives. Tomorrow 's economists are taught that neoclassical economics provides the single correct and universal explanation of how the economy functions.

Opening up economics, by giving the next generation of economists a pluralist education, w ill provide crucially needed tools to address the challenges we face as a society. Every other social science acknowledges the need for pluralism. Refusing to do the same in economics is restricting our collective ability to build healthy and prosperous societies and we are all poorer for it.

6. In the first paragraph, the results of the review suggests that

A. students can get a degree much easier than before

B. students tend to neglect critical thinking and independent judgment

C. universities tend to neglect the training of students critic al thinking

D. economics graduates from universities are at odds w ith employers

7. What does the author say about the current economics education in UK?

A. Economics student are reluctant to express an opinion.

B. Most universities only adhere to neoclassical economics.

C. Universities have generally promoted the recognition for pluralist education in economics.

D. Few universities urged students to study neoclassical economics only.

8. Which of the following statement does NOT support the view that critical thought and independent judgment are important to the economics students?

A. Employers need potential graduates to be able to express opinions.

B. Citizens expect them to enhance a healthy economy.

C. Experts expect them to be responsible for the health of their economy.

D. The future economists need to be able to address the challenges.

9. According to the author, we need pluralism in economics education because,

A. it helps students become experts for a healthy economy

B. it offers universal explanation of how the economy functions

C. it includes more history, critic al thinking and engagement with the real world

D. it is still rejected by most universities

10. Which of the following headings would be most appropriate to the article?

A Economics teaching is still neglecting critic al thought

B. Call for reforming the economics curricula

C. Giving the next generation of economists a pluralist education

D. Survey on the UK economics education

[答案与解析]

7.B根据 第二段的最后两句话“Economics education currently teaches only one perspective, neoclassical economics: of the 172 module course outlines we analysed, only 17 mentioned alternative perspectives.Tomorrow 's economists are taught that neoclassical economics provides the single correct and universal explanation of how the economy functions.”，可知新古典主义经济学是大多数大学唯一教授的经济学 。故选B.

8.D根据第一 段第三句话 “what employers of economics graduates need and what citizens expect from the experts responsible for the health of their economy”,可知A、B、C三个选项都是符合批判性思维的要求的，只有D不符合。故选D.

9.A根据第 三段最后一句话“Refusing to do the same in economics is restricting our ollective ability to build healthy and prosperous societies and we are all poorer for it.”，可知经济教育多元化主要是为了更加健康繁荣的经济。故选A。

10.C这篇文章的全文，尤其是是最后一段话，可知全文的主要围绕内容是“Giving the next generation of economists a pluralist education"。 故选C。

Passage 3.

Read the following passage and choose from the phrases marked A to E to fill in the blanks. Write the corresponding ltter A, B, C, D, or E on the ANSWER SHEET (10 points, 2 points each).

To come here and receive this award this honor is too much. Thank you."

Lewis has previously described March as (14)but in particular for young people, “to understand(15), to walk through the pages of history to learn about the philosophy and discipline of nonviolence, to be inspired to stand up to speak out and to find a way to get in the way w hen they see something that is not right, not fair, not just".

12.B刘 易斯讲述了在某一个方面的“his vital part”,根据上下文和选项内容可知，应该是参加了“the civil rights movement in the 1960s”。故选B.

13.E从前一句提及“get public library cards"，可以得知这件事情是发生在公立图书馆，只有E选项提及这一信息，并且符合文章含义。故选E.

14.A此处是需 要一个短语来描述 “March” 这一.本书， 所以选项A提及书这一-信息， 最符合题意。故选A。

15.C根据第二段 “his graphic memoir March, which tells of his vital part in the civil rights movement in the 1960s”，可知这本书是为了让年轻人知道民权运动的本质。

Passage 4

Read the passage and decide whether each of the following statements is True, or False, or Not Mentioned by choosing the corresponding letter A, B, or C. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET (10 points, 2 points cach).

A novel written in a single sentence has won the 2016 Goldsmiths prize, becoming the third Irish w inner in the four-year history of an award set up to reward fiction that“ "breaks the mould or opens up new possibilities for the novel form".

Mike McCormack's Solar Bones is set on All Souls Day in November 2008 and takes place inside the mind of Marcus Conway, a middle-aged engineer from County Mayo in the west of Ireland, who is brought back from the dead to contemplate“ a county with a unique history of people starving and mortifying themselves for higher causes and principles [..] blistered with shrines and grottoes and prayer -houses and hermitages [..] bordered realm of penance and atonement".

The novel emerged as winner at a ceremony in London on Wednesday from a six -strong shortlist, which included Deborah Levy's Booker shortlisted Hot Milk and The Lesser Bohemians by the first winner of the Goldsmiths, Eimear Mc Bride.

Blake Morrison, who chaired the judges, said:“Politics, family, art, marriage, health, civic duty and the environment are just a few of the themes it touches on, in a prose that's lyrical yet firmly rooted. Its subject may be an ordinary working life, but it is itself an extraordinary work."

Solar Bones is published by the small lrish independent Tramp Press, and is the third novel by a writer who has also produced two ollections of short stories.

Morrison told the Guardian books podcast: “There is, without getting too sentimental about it, the great tradition of Irish literature ..there's Joyce and Beckett and there's almost an expectation that you will be a modernist or a postmodernist Also, there are smaller presses in Ireland and support of literature is more generous than in England, so there's more possibility for risk and daring."

Reviewing Solar Bones for the Guardian, Ian Sansom wrote that it “stutters into life, like a desperate incantation or a prose poem, minus full-stops but chock-full of portent". It was, he said,“a hymn to modern small-town lfe", with its “rites, rhythms and rituals/upholding the world like solar bones".
