II. Section A
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 thecontext.
As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? If you were like most children, you
probably let your imagination run 41 . Maybe you dreamed of flying into space or being a
famous chef. Then perhaps over the years, your dreams became more 42 . Or you might have
given up on some altogether.
If that’s the case, then today’s the day for you. January 13th is Make Your Dreams Come
True Day. If you’ve been 43 fulfilling your dreams, this is the day to make a fresh start.
It’s important to dream because dreams can give us the 44 to succeed in life. Dreams
inspire and motivate us. The great thing about dreams is that there’s no 45 to accomplish
them right away. They might take a few years or they might take a lifetime to 46 . The
important thing is that you’re 47 working toward your dream. And the best way to do that
is by setting goals.
What is the 48 between a dream and a goal? It’s been said that dreams are the final destination;
goals are the stops along the way.
Dreams can be very 49 . But the steps you take to reach them should be very
50 . Your dreams state what you want, but goals explain how you’ll get there. That makes
goal seting a necessary step in 51 your dreams.
Many successful people have spoken about dreams. Former U. S. Secretary of State Colin
Powell stressed the 52 of working for our dreams. “A dream doesn’t become reality through
magic: it takes sweat, 53 and hard work. “Author Les Brown reminded us that dreams
have no 54 limit. You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new
dream.
If you’ve been dreaming about doing something for years, start today. Write down your
dream, and 55 your goals. Then you’ll be on your way to making your dreams come
true.

Section A
Directions：For each blank in the following passages 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.
Having a clear picture in mind of what their future will look like can motivate students to keep
going despite the challenges of college life. This ___41___ seems to be particularly effective for
female students from relatively low socioeconomic status（SES）backgrounds says Mesmin Destin
of Northwestern University in the US. College is a time of great opportunity for some, but can be
___42___ for others. It is often the first time that many students are away from the regular and
familiar support of their family and friends. Weak students from lower SES backgrounds often
encounter greater financial and psychological challenges than others, and this can lead to
___43___ and even withdrawal from difficult situations, such as when interacting with their
lecturers or taking tests and exams.
Destin and his colleagues wanted to understand if students’ ___44___ to academic challenges
improve when they look forward to the future. This idea is built around the theory of
identity-based motivation. It holds that people can take positive action during times of unfavorable
conditions when they ___45___ a successful future for themselves.
“ The theory of identity-based motivation proposes that stimulating a focus on a successful
future identity may be especially ___46___ in motivating students who are weak during
challenging academic situations to develop a sense of action readiness,” explains Destin. This
involves feeling ready and able to take appropriate action when ___47___ difficulty.
In two almost identical laboratory experiments—one involving 93 female students, the other
185 students（including 101 women）-- participants were first asked either to write about their past
or their future ___48___. After their deep thoughts, the participants were filmed during an limited
interview with a so-called lecturer, and then had to ___49___ a difficult academic test. The
research team noted whether participants’ body language was bold and confident, and measured
the amount of effort participants’ ___50___ the academic test.
The results were in agreement with the theory of identity – based motivation. Destin and his
team found that having a successful future identity can prevent especially female students from
lower SES backgrounds from ___51___ during challenging academic situations. Specially, lower
SES women who wrote about their future identities displayed greater action ___52___ compared
to those who considered their past. They showed more confident body language. It helped them to
make more effort to tackle the test, and had an indirect effect on their ___53___.
“Simulating imagined successful future identities appears to provide a ___54___ pathway to
enable weak students to effectively navigate everyday stressors, ” says Destin. “ The findings
___55___ suggest that certain students may benefit from strategies that remind them to image
their successful futures before any difficult and important task that they might otherwise be likely
to avoid.”

III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
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.
Ask Siri if she’s a woman. Go ahead; try it. She’ll tell you she’s ______41_____. “Like
cacti. And certain species of fish,” she might say. So is Amazon’s Alexa, Microsoft’s Cortana,
Samsung’s S Voice, and Google Now. But, man, do they ever sound a lot like women.
____42_______, we think of them as ladies too. (In Old Norse, Siri translates to “a beautiful
woman who leads you to victory.”) We assign female pronouns to them, and, in turn, they fold
feminine turns of phrase into their robotic and occasionally inane answers to our requests.
If we prize gender diversity in other areas of daily life, why does our tech sound
so_____43______? The biggest reason for the female phone fixation rests in social science.
“Research indicates there’s likely to be greater acceptance of female____44_______,” says Karl
MacDorman, an associate professor at Indiana University who specializes in human-computer
interaction. MacDorman and his team played clips of male and female voices to people of both
genders, then asked them to identify which they _____45______. The researchers also measured
the way participants responded to the voices. In a 2011 paper, they reported that both women and
men said female voices came across as warmer. _____46______, women even showed a
subconscious preference for responding to females; men remained subconsciously neutral.
Why the_______47____? Stanford University communications professor Clifford Nass,
who coauthored the field’s seminal book, Wired for Speech, wrote that people tend to perceive
female voices as helping them solve their problems by themselves, while they view male voices as
authority figures who tell them the answers to their problems. We want _____48______ to help us,
but we also want to be the boss of it, so we are more likely to opt for a female interface.
This tendency suggests that companies will make a better impression on a
______49_____ group of customers with a woman’s voice. But not just any voice. It has to
______50_____ a brand’s personality. For help with that, companies often turn to Greg Pal, vice
president of marketing, strategy, and business development at Nuance Communications, which
licenses its _____51______ of more than 100 voices. Pal insists that some brands choose male
speakers. He turned on his iPhone and pulled up the Domino’s Pizza app, which has an assistant,
Dom. He sounded like my high school English teacher—educated and helpful but
not______52_____. That’s about right for a brand attempting to ____53_______ guys ordering
pies before the big game.
As voice technology improves, though, designers say diversity will too. Many devices
already let you _______54____ a voice interface. Homer Simpson can tell you where to take a left
on your GPS device. And Siri can become a sir, if you take the time to ___55________. Want to
know how to do it? Ask her. She’ll tell you in her uniquely warm, helpful—and female—tone.
41. A. robotic B. high-tech C. genderless D. creative

Over the last 15 years, digital communication has brought in more changes than the printing
press did in 1570. And those most likely to use them in this world are teenagers, whose brains
appear to have an extraordinary volume to adapt to the world around them, according to Dr Jay
Giedd, a(n) 51
brain expert.
We are now discovering that, as a species, our brains during the teenage years are still
flexible and capable of 52 . Having a more flexible brain, 53 , means that certain parts of
it, such as desire control and the ability to make long-term decisions, haven’t developed yet, which
may also explain why we spend a(n) 54 period living under the protection of our parents
rather than leaving home at the age of 12 or 13. This also means that the teenage brain can adapt to
new technology, enabling teenagers to 55 the increasing pace of digital technology and
giving them an advantage when it comes to multitasking.
In the USA, on average teenagers spend 8.5 hours a day using computers, mobiles, and other
devices to learn, interact, and play. This increases to 11.5 hours if you include all of the
56 that goes on, such as talking on the phone while watching TV. As they stare at these
screens, they’re taking in and sorting through an incredible amount of information.
There are 57 about how social media is affecting the way the brain learns to 58 ,
as one of the most important skills that we learn as children is how to make friends and interact
with people around us. Geidd says that a lot of what goes on inside our brains is social. Social
interactions are now being 59 by technology – you could have hundreds of friends, all of
whom are real people that you interact with and scientists aren’t sure whether we’ll be able to
develop the same 60 using social media.
There is a(n) 61 of the growing digital trend: YouTube shows the teenagers all over the
world are watching the same videos and laughing at the same jokes, indicating that they are
more
62 than teenagers in the past. They may be keen on 63 their friends and posting
updates on social media sites, but teenagers today are probably going to have access to
technology and 64
social and educational opportunities that anyone with a less flexible brain may have trouble
imagining. Nevertheless, there is a cut-off point, and by the age of 30, our brains in their ways,
making it more
65 for us to adapt and cope with new technologies.
