Ⅱ. Reading Comprehension (40 分)(60 minutes)

Section A: Multiple Choice (每小题2分,共30分)

Directions: Read the following three passages and complete the questions after them by choosing the best from the four alternatives. Write your answer on the Answer Sheet.

Passage 1

Last week Catherine Rampell pointed to a recent Gallup survey indicating that most up-income people still don't realize (or, in some cases, refuse to admit) they' re upper-income. The roll found that just 6% of those in households earning over $250, 000 thought their taxes were “too low", but 30% thought the taxes of "upper-income people" were too low. Obviously, a household taking in $250,000 is earing almost 5 times the median (even in Manhattan, Andrew Gelman notes, median household income is $68,000) and is dearly upper-income by any reasonable standard. This isn't particularly surprising; as Ms Rampell writes, Everyone thinks they' re middle-class partly because of cultural reasons, and also partly because of the way the income distribution is skewed. The greatest income inequality is at the very top. As a result, people who are rich but not the richest- -in the $250,000 zone, say - -see they have more than lots of poor people, but also much less than a few very visibly rich people. Then they conclude they're in the middle, so they must be middle class.

Mr. Gelman adds that most people are just not very statistically adept, on this or many other subjects. I would add an additional source of pernicious distortion. (The median household depicted in popular video games seems to be a single earner inhabiting a medieval fortress or a hyperlight spacecraft, or a self-employed entrepreneur engaged in coke- dealing and serial murder, so I'll leave video games out of the current discussion.)

For example, I am (don't laugh, it's really good) a huge fan of the hour drama "parenthood". The thesis is produced by Jason Katims, who had a big hand in the much-beloved series "Friday Night Lights". One of the triumphs of FNL was its depiction of the domestic spaces inhabited by average kids on a mid-sized Texas town's high-school football team. Characters lived in small, single -story houses with run-down front porches; characters on public assistance or with service-industry jobs lived in multi-level apartments around parking lots. Characters who lived in large McMansions were frankly depicted as rich. The verisimilitude of the living space was a huge boost to the show's effort to present Texan society and ethics in a way that felt affirming and universally sympathetic.

"Parenthood" seems in some ways to be trying to present the ethos and life space of young Northern California families in the same affirming, universally sympathetic fashion. And there are a lot of efforts to bring in a wide range of socioeconomic situations. We've got the divorced mother in her late 30s who moves back in with her parents, the slacker artist buy getting by on minimal income on a houseboat, a kid from the Oakland projects, and so on. But in terms of lived space, the show mostly falls prey to the familiar Hollywood syndrome of unrealistically gorgeous bourgeois set design. And that spills over into the economic underpinnings of plot lines. An interaction early in the first season drove the point home: when the central “everyman" family has to confront their child's autism and is told about a highly sought-after special-needs school with high tuition, they respond: "We don't care what it costs. We'll pay whatever it takes." The viewer thinks: how nice for you, that you can demonstrate your commitment to your child in that fashion! You must be part of the small percentage of American households that can afford to say things like this.

It's hardly news that most popular culture concentrates on the economic elite. The characters in 19th -century English novels chiefly comprise two social classes: aristocrats, and impoverished aristocrats. Still it's a great breath of fresh air when a show comes along . that's willing to show the America most Americans actually inhabit. And if there were more shows among the lines of "Friday Night Lights", we might have more accurate instinctive reference points when people use terms like “ average American households" or "upper- income people".

51. Most people think they are only middle class because of ____.

A. income inequality

B. social conventions

C. personal preference

D. public opinion

52. By citing Catherine Rampell's opinion, the author intends to _______.

A. express sympathy for the middle class

B. exhibit the hypocrisy of the upper-income people

C. explain the division between the haves and the have-nots

D. discuss the reason for high-income people's middle dlass complex

53. The author believes the trend that most people think they are only middle class is partly attributed to _______.

A. unrealistic depictions of TV dramas

B. pressure from the wealthy

C. worries about high taxes

D. influence from real life

54. Which of the following statements about "Friday Night Lights" is true?

A. It is a series of dramas played on stage produced by Jason Katims.

B. Itis a story about poor children in American society.

C. It describes the living environment of average children in America.

D. It intends to show the inequality of American society.

55. Towards "Friday Night Lights", the writer's attitude can be said to be _______

A. opposed

B. approving

C. skeptical

D. indifferent

Passage 2

It's a snowy Saturday in Chicago, but Amy, age 28, needs resort wear for a Caribbean vacation. Five years ago, in 2011, she would have headed straight for the mall. Today she starts shopping from her couch by launching a videoconference with her personal concierge at Danella, the retailer where she bought two outfits the previous month. The concierge recommends several items, superimposing photos of them onto Amy' S avatar. Amy rejects a couple of items immediately, toggles to another browser tab to research customer reviews and prices, finds better deals on several items at another retailer, and orders them. She buys one item from Danella online and then drives to the Danella store near her for the in-stock items she wants to try on.

As Amy enters Danella, a sales associate greets her by name and walks her to a dressing room stocked with her online selections-plus some matching shoes and a cocktail dress. She likes the shoes, so she scans the bar code into her smartphone and finds the same pair for $30 less at another store. The sales associate quickly offers to match the price, and encourages Amy to try. on the dress. Itis daring and expensive, so Amy sends a video to three stylish friends, asking for their opinion. The responses come quickly: three thumbs down. She collects the items she wants, scans an internet site for coupons (saving an additional $73), and checks out with her smartphone.

As she heads for the door, a life-size screen recognizes her and shows a special offer on an irresistible summer -weight top. Amy checks her budget online, smiles, and uses her phone to scan the customized Quick Response code on the screen. The item will be shipped to her home overnight.

This scenario is fictional, but it's neither as futuristic nor as fanciful as you might think. All the technology Amy uses is already available-and within five years, much of it will be ubiquitous. But what seems like a dream come true for the shopper- an abundance of information, near-perfect price transparency, a parade of special deals- is already feeling more like a nightmare for many retailers. Companies such as Tower Records, Circuit City, Linens 'n Things, and Borders are early victims- and there will be more.

Every 50 years or so, retailing undergoes this kind of disruption. A century and a half ago, the growth of big cities and the rise of railroad networks made possible the modern department store. Mass-produced automobiles came along 50 years later, and soon shopping malls lined with specialty retailers were dotting the newly forming suburbs and challenging the city-based department stores. The 1960s and 1970s saw the spread of discount chains- -Walmart, Kmart, and the like- and, soon after, big-box “category killers" such as Circuit City and Home Depot, all of them undermining or transforming the old-style mall. Each wave of change doesn't eliminate what came before it, but it reshapes the landscape and redefines consumer expectations， often beyond recognition. Retailers relying on earlier formats either adapt or die out as the new ones pull volume from their stores and make the remaining volume less profitable.

Like most disruptions, digital retail technology got off to a shaky start. A bevy of inter net-based retailers in the 1990s- Amazon.com, Pets.com, and pretty much everythingelse.com- -embraced what they called online shopping or electronic commerce. These fledgling companies ran wild until a combination of il-conceived strategies, speculative gambles, and a slowing economy burst the dot-com bubble. The ensuing collapse wiped out half of all ecommerce retailers and provoked an abrupt shift from irrational exuberance to economic reality.

Today, however, that economic reality is well established. The research firm Forrester estimates that e-commerce is now approaching $200 billion in revenue in the United States alone and accounts for 9% of total retail sales, up from 5% five years ago. The corresponding figure is about 10% in the United Kingdom, 3% in Asia-Pacific, and 2% in Latin America. Globally, digital retailing is probably headed toward 15% to 20% of total sales, though the proportion will vary significantly by sector. Moreover, much digital retailing is now highly profitable. Amazon's five-year average return on investment, for example, is 17%, whereas traditional discount and department stores average 6.5%.

What we are seeing today is only the beginning. Soon it will be hard even to define e-commerce, let alone measure it. Is it an e-commerce sale if the customer goes to a store, finds that the product is out of stock, and uses an in-store terminal to have another location ship it to her home? What if the customer is shopping in one store, uses his smartphone to find a lower price at another, and then orders it electronically for in-store pickup? How about gifts that are ordered from a website but exchanged at a local store? Experts estimate that digital information already influences about 50% of store sales, and that number is growing rapidly.

56. What advice do Amy's friends give regarding the cocktail dress recommended by the sales associate?

A. To buy it.

B. To bargain with the sales associate over the price.

C. Not to buy it.

D. To find it in another store.

57. Paragraph 4 shows that _______.

A. what Amy experiences won't be truly realized

B. all of the technology Amy uses has been realized

C. the retailers welcome all the technology used in shopping

D. the customers who use the technology in shopping will save a large sum of money

58. According to Paragraph 5, new forms of retailing _______.

A. exert a great influence on the earlier ones

B. defeat the earlier ones

C. absorb the essence of the earlier ones

D. are welcomed by the earlier ones

59. We learn from Paragraph 6 that online shopping in the 1990s _______.

A. witnessed an immature status

B. stably developed

C. underwent a rational stage

D. conformed to the economic reality

60. The author indicates in the last two paragraphs that digital retailing _______.

A. invited constant conflicts with the earlier retailing forms

B. is responsible for the decline of the earlier retailing forms

C. occupies an overwhelming proportion of global total sales

D. will occupy a bigger market share

Passage 3

As does much else in the universe, education moves in cycles. The 1960s and 1970s saw a swell of interest in teaching styles that were less authoritarian and hierarchical than the traditional watching of a teacher scribbling on a blackboard. Today, tastes have swung back, and it is fashionable to denigrate those alternatives as so much hippy nonsense.

But evidence trumps fashion-at least, it ought to. And a paper just published in Science by Louis Deslauriers and his colleagues at the University of British Columbia suggests that at least one of the newfangled styles is indeed superior to the traditional chalk-and-chalk approach.

Dr Deslauriers' lab rats were a group of 850 undergraduate engineering students taking a compulsory course. The students were split into groups at the start of their course, and for the first 11 weeks all went to traditionally run lectures given by well-regarded and experienced teachers. In the 12th week, one of the groups was switched to a style of teaching known as deliberate practice, which inverts the traditional university model. Class time is spent on problem-solving, discussion and group work, while the absorption of facts and formulae is left for homework. Students were given reading assignments before classes. Once in the classroom they spent their time in small groups, discussing specific problems, with the teacher roaming between groups to offer advice and respond to questions.

At the end of the test week, Dr Deslauriers surveyed the students and gave them a voluntary test (sold as useful exam practice, and marked on a 12-point scale) to see how much they had learned in that week and what they thought of the new teaching method. The results were striking. The traditionally taught group's average score was 41%, compared with 74% for the experimental group- even though the experimental group did not manage to cover all the material it was supposed to, whereas the traditional group did.

According to Dr Deslauriers and his team, their result is the biggest performance boost ever documented in educational research, making the new teaching style more effective even than personal, one-to-one tuition - although measuring the effect immediately after the experiment, rather than waiting for end-of-term exam results (as other research often has), may have inflated the number somewhat. The results are especially impressive given that the deliberate-practice method was applied by teachers with little prior experience of using it, whereas the traditionally taught students had the benefit of a seasoned lecturer with a long record of good ratings from pupils.

One frequent criticism of these sorts of studies concerns something called the Hawthorne effect, an idea which emerged from post-war work on productivity. This is that change of any sort will boost people's performance simply because of the novelty value it offers. But the exact nature of the Hawthorne effect, and even whether it exists at all, is controversial. Moreover, if it is real, it would be unlikely to apply in this case, because it is supposed to occur mainly among people doing routine jobs, for whom any change in working practices is welcome. That is not a description of a typical undergraduate's life.

A more serious objection is that the study's participants may be an atypical group. The sort of people who study engineering may react better (or， indeed, worse) to the deliberate-practice method than, say, those reading fine art or history.

Sill, Dr Deslauriers and his team are bullish about the wider implications of their work, which adds to the evidence that it may be possible to improve on the long-established chalk-and-chalk method. And the students seemed to enjoy the experience, too. Attendance in the experimental group rose by 20% over the course of the week that deliberate practice was used, and three-quarters of its members said that they would have learned more had the entire course been taught in the same way. In this case, then, the educational hippies may have been right.

61. By saying “education moves in cycles" in Paragraph 1, the author means that _______.

A. education advances or lags alternately

B. education develops irregularly

C. people's opinions on education vary considerably

D. people have different tastes about education in different times

62. The results of the survey demonstrate that _______.

A. students in experimental group have higher IQ

B. alternative teaching style prove to be better

C. traditional teaching style should be abandoned

D. learning materials have little effect on test scores

63. Which of the following statement is NOT true about the Hawthorne effect?

A. Some researchers use the Hawthorne effect to negate the experimental results gained from Dr Deslauriers' survey.

B. According to the Hawthorne effect, the improvement of people's performance is mainly achieved by introducing new approaches.

C. The Hawthorne effect can be widely applied in any academic research.

D. The applicability of the Hawthorne effect is questionable.

64. According to the survey results, deliberate practice is a teaching style that _______.

A. works well in improving students' scores

B. is welcomed by most university teachers

C. thoroughly overturns people's opinion of teaching

D. can mobilize students' initiative in their study
