Part I                    Writing                 (30 minutes)

【參考範文】

Facing the two options, I will choose to take a job in a company. There are mainly two reasons for my choice.

On one hand, I am eager to apply what I’ve learned to practice since I have got so many years’ schooling. Moreover, I am somewhat tired of the “ivory tower” life and ready for the “real world” life, for I assume that I can learn more from getting in touch with society. On the other hand, my family needs my financial support, because my parents are getting older and older and making less and less. Though it doesn’t take much to pursue my further study, I cannot support my parents financially if I choose to go to a graduate school.

To sum up, to take a job in a company meets my desire of learning from practice and support my parents financially, which is a better choice for me.

Part III         Reading Comprehension           (40 minutes)

Section A

26. E) challenge

空前主語爲A new study，故此處應選一個動詞第三人稱單數作謂語，符合的詞有E) challenges, M) suggests, 和N) tastes，根據空後questioning，得出該空應填E) challenges 挑戰，質疑。

27. J) searched

search for 爲固定搭配，意爲“尋找，搜索”，所給詞彙中只有J) searched符合題意。

28. D) categorizing

空前是介詞for，空後爲名詞brains，再根據後面的內容as “male” or “female”，初步判斷該空應該填入動詞的-ing形式。瀏覽選項，只有D)和H) 符合。根據搭配及語義，D)爲答案，categorizing…as… 意爲“把……分爲……”。

29. K) similarities

根據空前的句子“there are some gender-based…”，該空應填入名詞複數形式。瀏覽選項，E), K), N）符合。再根據句意及空格後的句子“不同類型的大腦並不一直由性別區分”，該空應填入K) similarities “相似之處”。

30. L) slightly

空格前爲be動詞were，後爲形容詞different，很顯然該空的詞是來修飾different的，因此應填入副詞。結合文意可知，雖然普通男性和普通女性的大腦差別很小，但是通過查看腦部掃描光片也沒法對其進行區分。slightly爲副詞，意爲“輕微地，稍微”，所以應填入L）。

31. G) percentage

空格前爲形容詞small，後爲of people，因此應填入名詞。結合文意可知，只有一小部分人具備“完全男性”或“完全女性”的特徵。percentage意爲“百分比”，a small percentage of…意爲“一小部分”，所以應填入G）。

32. O) traditional

該空後爲名詞beliefs, 因此，該空應填入一個形容詞，根據文意可知，很多研究都是在質疑“人們對於性別和大腦功能之間關係的傳統理解”，因此，該處應選O) traditional傳統的。

33. I）regardless

該空考查短語regardless of的含義。根據“他警告不要輕易給出以下結論：所有的大腦都是一樣的，不論性別”可知，該空應填入I）regardless, 構成短語regardless of，意爲“不管，不顧”。

34. H) proving

a mountain of evidence意爲“大量的證據”，proving爲現在分詞作後置定語修飾evidence。

35. M) suggests

該句中，the study爲主語，that引導的賓語從句作賓語，故此空應填入一個動詞來作謂語，結合上下文，應選suggests，意爲“暗示，表明”。

Section B

36. [I]對應關鍵詞jamming attacks, 和equipment and skill在I段落中同時出現了兩個關鍵詞。

37. [D]對應關鍵詞wireless security system, 和conversation在原文中有復現.

38. [J] 選項中wireless security system,和triggering the alarm可以在J選項中找到對應.

39. [F]SimpliSafe, 大寫名詞很好定位，在加上覆現的distinguish，radio interference可以鎖定選項F。

40. [B]根據small proportion可以確定唯一的選項B

41. [H]對應關鍵詞keeps changing

42. [C]對應關鍵詞transmit signals, 和activate.

43. [K]根據選項different measures只在K段落中出現了。

44. [G]選項cellphones是最關鍵的定位詞，可以在G選項中找到復現。

45. [E]選項frequent對應了段落的frequency。

Section C

Passage One

46. [B] He intends to get rid of the tipping practice.

根據題目中的Bill Perry這個專有名詞，我們可以定位到文中的第一段話。在But後面有提到“我能告訴你我喜歡這個小夥子。因爲他打算禁止付小費這種情況，而贊成給服務員實際的工資”。B選項和這句話的含義接近，get rid of意爲“擺脫”，和ban“禁止”含義相近；plan to和intend to含義一樣。所以正確答案爲B.

47. [C] It forces the customer to compensate the waiter.根據題幹中的關鍵詞the author hates tipping和main reason可以返回原文，定位到第三段。文中說“我討厭它，因爲它將義務僞裝成一種選擇。”既然是義務，那必然是強迫顧客去做的事情，這和C選項的含義較爲接近。

48. [D] They can have some say in how much their servers earn.

根據關鍵詞many people love tipping返回原文，我們可以定位至第四段。根據文中第二行的You like to feel that you have a voice in how much money your server makes.可知，這題應該選擇D選項。

49. [A] Services quality has little effect on tip size.

文中問的是調查中一些服務員的觀點，這在第五段的最後一句話中有所體現，文中說：一些服務員不認爲他們的工作會受到收到的消費的影響。

50. [D] Waiters should be paid by employers instead of customers.

本題問作者的觀點，切記文中無人認領的觀點便是作者的觀點。在第六段的末尾有提到說，作者支持Bill Perry的觀點，而Bill的觀點就和D選項是近義表達。

Passage Two

51.  [C] The impact of cheap oil on global economic growth. 

本題是主旨題，原文第一段表示“過去油價下降總是刺激世界經濟增長，但是即使現在油價下降越來越多，最新對經濟增長的預測卻不容樂觀，這意味着更低的油價和增長之間的關係削弱了嗎？”這第一段點明瞭主題，後面的段落都是在討論油價下降爲什麼以前可以刺激經濟增長，而現在卻不再能刺激經濟增長了。可以看出是C是正確答案。

52. [D] Consumers will spend their savings from cheap oil on other commodities.  

解析：根據原文第二段“some experts say there are still good reasons to...They spend that money on other things, which stimulates the economy”，可以看出是D正確選項。

53. [C] They use their money reserves to back up consumption.

解析：根據原文第三段中“draw on their reserves to support government spending and subsidies for their consumers”，可以看出C是正確選項。

54. [B] Its negative effects more than cancel out its positive effects.

解析：根據原文第五段中“the negative effects of plunging oil prices are overwhelming the positive effects of cheaper oil”可以看出B是正確選項。

55. [C] Oil importers account for a larger portion of the global economy.    

解析：根據原文第六段中“so the nations suffering from the price drop account for a larger share of the global economy”，可以看出是C正確選項。

Part IV                  Translation              (30 minutes)

【參考譯文】

In Chinese culture, yellow is an important color because of its unique symbolic meaning. In feudal society, it symbolizes the rulers’ power and authority. At that time, yellow was designed to use for the emperor—the royal palace was painted yellow and the imperial robe was always yellow too. However, the ordinary people were not allowed to wear yellow clothes. In China, yellow also signifies harvest. The fields grow golden yellow in autumn when the crops mature. People celebrate the harvest cheerfully.
