【2019 上海春考】
Bill Drayton believes we’re in the middle of a necessary but painful historical transition.
For millenniums most people's lives had a certain ___31___. You went to school to learn a
trade or a skill-baking, farming or accounting. Then you could go into the workforce and
make a good living repeating the same skill over the course of your career.
But these days machines can do pretty much anything that's ___32___. The new world
requires a different sort of person. Drayton calls this new sort of personal changemaker.
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 ___33___ adapt as situations change.
For example, Ashoka fellow Andrés Gallardo is a Mexican who lived in a high crime
neighborhood. He created an app, called Haus, that allows people to ___34___ with their
neighbors. The app has a panic button that ___35___ everybody in the neighborhood when a
crime is happening. It allows neighbors to organize, chat, share crime statistics and work
together.
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 ___36___ 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 ___37___ problems and organize responses.
Millions of people already live with this mind-set. But a lot of people still inhabit the
world of following rules and repetitive skills. They hear society telling them: "We don't need
you. We don't need your kids, either." Of course, those people go into reactionary mode and
strike back.
The central ___38___ of our time, Drayton says, is to make everyone a changemaker. In
an earlier era, he says, society realized it needed universal ___39___. Today, schools have to
develop the curriculums and assessments to make the changemaking mentality universal.
They have to understand this is their criteria for success.
Ashoka has studied social movements to find out how this kind of ___40___ shift can be
promoted. It turns out that successful movements take similar steps.

Good news for giant panda lovers: the cute and cuddly creature has just been brought
back from the edge of extinction.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) __31__the species from
“endangered” to “vulnerable” as the union released its updated Red List on Sept. 4 at
Hawaii with their __32__ growing by 17 percent in the decade leading up to 2014.
Chinese conservation efforts, including forest protection and reforestation, are
considered to be the __33__ force behind the animal’s re-prosperity. The number of panda
__34__ in China has also jumped to 67, from 13 in 1992. Nearly two-thirds of all wild pandas
live there. Restoring the panda’s habitat has given them back their space with food
available to them.
Apart from giant pandas, the Tibetan Antelope has also moved from “endangered”
to “near threatened”. According to a statement from IUCN, the animal’s numbers have
shrunk severely – dropping from around 1 million to a(n) __35__ 65,000–72,500 in the 1980s
and early 1990s – due to commercial poaching (偷猎). Rigorous protection has since been
__36__ to protect the beasts and the population is now likely to be between 100,000 and
150,000.
Despite the improved __37__, wild animals like the giant panda and the Tibetan
Antelope still face great challenges. The IUCN warned, for example, that ongoing threats
from climate change could eliminate more than 35 percent of the panda’s bamboo habitat
in the next 80 years, which would __38__ the species recent gains.
Good progress has been made but there is still work to do. The IUCN Red List of
Threatened Species is devoted to __39__ species from around the world and their statuses in
relation to their risk of extinction. The list currently has eight categories, including extinct,
extinct in the wild, __40__ endangered, endangered, vulnerable, near threatened, least
concern and data deficient. These categories are based on criteria relating to population
trends, size and structure, and geographic range.

College degrees still necessary?
We’re often told that if we can’t graduate from university, we’re unlikely to land a good job.
However, some big-name companies say that you don’t need a college degree to do well in
life.
According to a list released by job review platform Glassdoor in August, a total of 15 famous
companies have 1 college degrees as a requirement for some of their jobs, including
Apple, Google, IBM, and Starbucks.
The phenomenon of requiring a college degree for a position that actually doesn’t need it is
called degree inflation, according to Forbes. About 6 million jobs in the US are potentially
2 to degree inflation, according to a report released by Harvard Business School in 2017.
This is because many employers regard having a college degree as equal to 3 a variety
of soft skills.
‘Especially at a time when recruiters complain that workers lack 4 soft skills --
the ability to solve problems, work in teams and communicate -- college is seen as the place
that develops such abilities,’ Jeffrey J. Selingo, a professor of practice at Arizona State University,
US, wrote on The Washington Post.
However, for some companies, a college degree doesn’t 5 that an applicant is a good
performer.
‘They did some research and they saw that the individual, strengths and future 6 rather
than the academic performance of those they hired were a greater 7 of success in
working at the firm,’ Larry Nash, EY’s US director of recruiting, told Fast Company. EY, a
UK-based finance company, dropped the requirement for a college degree when seeking hires in
the UK in 2015.
Meanwhile, in many teach sector positions, 8 courses and on-the-job experience are
more meaningful than a college degree, Ginni Rometty, CEO of IBM, told Quartz.
However, this doesn’t mean a college degree is completely useless. Indeed, a college degree is
still considered when 9 a job candidate, but it ‘no longer acts as a 10 to
getting a foot in the door,’ Maggie Stilwell, a recruitment expert at EY,told Huffpost.
For some companies, recent college graduates are no better than people who learned the same
skills by themselves. As Quartz put it, ‘What a person knows is more important than how they
learned it.’

(C)
A pirate’s life no more
HONEST souls intent on (下定决心要…)paying for the music they listened to used to
have a hard time in China. In the era of compact discs, ___106___ was the shop which did not
sell pirated(盗版的)ones. The same held true when discs turned into downloads and online
streams of songs: hardly any ____107____ charged money.
Yet this is changing. Slowly, but ___108___, China is
becoming a market where people pay for music. Over the past
five years, digital-music revenues for the recording industry
nearly quadrupled, to $195m; most of that amount comes from
music streaming (see chart). That sum may still be a tiny
fraction of the global total of $7.8bn, but streaming has clearly
taken off in China.
Not everybody is paying: of the 600m Chinese who listen
to music online only 20m have a paid subscription, which costs
between 8 and 12 yuan a month. The rest ___109___ for nothing, but many do so on legal,
advertising-supported services. “Piracy is ___110___.” says Ed Peto of Outdustry, a firm in
Beijing offering services to the music industry.
If Chinese consumers have developed a liking for ___111___ listening, it is for a
combination of reasons. Smartphones, which have become popular in recent years, make it
easy to ___112___ to streaming services. Widespread use of apps such as Alipay and WeChat
Pay mean that younger Chinese, in particular, are now used to making small purchases
___113___. And, to take advantage of the commercial opportunities in music, China’s big
internet platforms have begun to fight piracy.
Not all is ___114___, however. The streaming market is ___115___ by one player: Tencent,
the largest of China’s online giants, which is best known for its WeChat messaging service.
According to some estimates, its market share exceeds 70%. Each of the company’s two
leading streaming brands, QQ Music and KuGou, ___116___ hundreds of millions of users.
One cause for this market concentration is acquisitions: last year Tencent bought two
big competitors. More important, ___117___, it has paid three major international record
labels—Warner Music Group, Sony Music and Universal Music Group—a big, but unknown,
sum for the ___118___ right to stream their music in China. This means that Tencent gets to
decide which songs rivals are ___119___ to play.
Tencent executives say that they need such exclusivity to ensure the legitimacy of
streaming services and to reduce piracy further. But having one firm have so much power

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several
questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C
and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you
have just read.
(A)
After a gun accident took off half his face, Richard Lee Norris spent 15 years living as a
recluse in Hillsville, Va. Horribly disfigured, he hid indoors. When he ventured out, it was
behind a baseball cap and surgical mask. He didn’t pursue a career and never married.
Now, seven months after undergoing the most extensive face transplant in history,
37-year-old Norris is finally coming out of hiding.
Thanks to a combination of potent medications and firm determination, Norris is
healing faster than anyone expected , according to his doctors at the University of Maryland
Medical Center, where his transplant was performed.
“We as doctors do the operation, but the rest is up to you as the patient,” said
Eduardo Rodriguez, a dentist and surgeon at UMMC. "You have to carry the ball." Norris,
Rodriguez says, took the ball and ran with it.
By the time Norris was selected as a transplant candidate in 2005, he had already
undergone more than a dozen operations attempting to give him functional use of his
mouth. Despite the numerous surgeries, certain facial features—such as his lips, nose and
the front of his tongue—were beyond repair.
“After several attempts at reconstruction, it became apparent it wasn’t going to
work,” Norris, who declined to be interviewed in person, said in a written statement to the
media. “The face transplant was one of my very few options left.”
The 36-hour operation was completed in March and involved more than 150 doctors,
nurses and UMMC staff members.
“Everything from the scalp(头皮)to the midline of my neck was replaced, including the
jaw bones, teeth, part of my tongue, muscles, and nerves," said Norris, who has kept his
eyesight through the gun accident and the subsequent surgeries.
The days immediately following the transplant were promising. Norris was taken off his
postoperative ventilator(呼吸机),and within the first week he was able to shave his face and
brush his teeth.
When Norris saw his new face in a mirror for the first time, he wrote, “ The only thing I
could do was hug Dr. Rodriguez.”
Still, he spent the first two months following the surgery in the hospital. The goal at that
time, Rodriguez said, was to reduce inflammation(炎症) and prevent the risk of rejection
through high doses of immunosuppressing(抑制免疫的)drugs.
In May, Norris was discharged but instructed to remain in the Baltimore area, where he
could meet with his transplant team as well as a psychologist, a social worker, and speech
and physical therapists multiple times each week.
Finally, Norris was allowed to return home to Hillsville, in southwest Virginia, where he
does his speech therapy "homework" and meets with his local physician. He returns to
Baltimore once or twice a month for checkups with Rodriguez and other doctors .
“I have been doing very well regaining my speech back,” Norris said. “Each day it
improves a little more.”
121. By saying “Norris took the ball and ran with it,” Rodriguez meant ____________.
A. Norris’ firm determination was the key to his fast recovery
B. Norris should come out of hiding even if he only had half the face
C. Norris wore a surgical mask and moved very fast when he went out
D. Norris was brave enough to have the extensive face transplant surgery
122. Norris had to have a face transplant because ____________.
A. he had undergone numerous surgeries
B. face reconstruction was not going to work
C. he didn’t regain functional use of his mouth
D. certain facial features were ready for the face transplant
123. Which is NOT true about his days following the face transplant?
A. Inflammation and rejection were possible dangers to his recovery.
B. Shaving his face and brushing his teeth indicated he had fully recovered.
C. Doctors and therapists were still necessary even after he was discharged.
D. Norris was very happy and excited at the first sight of his new face in the mirror.
124. We can safely conclude from the passage that ____________.
A. a face transplant can only be done by a dentist
B. Norris’ eyes were also replaced during the face transplant
C. Norris still couldn't speak normally when the passage was written
D. this is the first time that a human face has been transplanted in history

(C)
When I re-entered the full-time workforce a few years ago after a decade of solitary
self-employment, there was one thing I was looking forward to the most: the opportunity to
have work friends once again. It wasn't until I entered the corporate world that I realized, for
me at least, being friends with colleagues didn't emerge as a priority at all. This is surprising
when you consider the prevailing emphasis by scholars and trainers and managers on the
importance of cultivating close interpersonal relationships at work. So much research has
explored the way in which collegial (同事的)ties can help overcome a range of workplace
issues affecting productivity and the quality of work output such as team-based conflict,
jealousy, undermining, anger, and more.
Perhaps my expectations of lunches, water-cooler gossip and caring,
deep-and-meaningful conversations were a legacy of the last time I was in that kind of office
environment. Whereas now, as I near the end of my fourth decade, I realize work can be fully
functional and entirely fulfilling without needing to be best mates with the people sitting
next to you.
In an academic analysis just published in the profoundly-respected Journal of Management,
researchers have looked at the concept of “indifferent relationships”. It’s a simple term
that encapsulates(概括)the fact that relationships at work can reasonably be non-intimate,
inconsequential, unimportant and even, dare I say it, disposable or substitutable.
Indifferent relationships are neither positive nor negative. The limited research
conducted thus far indicates they're especially dominant among those who value
independence over cooperation, and harmony over confrontation. Indifference is also the
preferred option among those who are socially lazy. Maintaining relationships over the long
term takes effort. For some of us, too much effort.
As noted above, indifferent relationships may not always be the most helpful approach
in resolving some of the issues that pop up at work. But there are nonetheless several
empirically proven benefits. One of those is efficiency. Less time chatting and socializing
means more time working and churning(产出).
The other is self-esteem. As human beings, we’re primed to compare ourselves to
each other in what is an anxiety-inducing phenomenon. Apparently, we look down on
acquaintances more so than Mends. Since the former is most common among those inclined
towards indifferent relationships, their predominance can bolster individuals’ sense of
self-worth.
Ego aside, a third advantage is that the emotional neutrality of indifferent relationships
has been found to enhance critical evaluation, to strengthen one's focus on task resolution,
and to gain greater access to valuable information. None of that might be as fun as
after-work socializing but, hey, I’ll take it anyway.
128. What did the author realize when he re-entered the corporate world?
A. Making new Mends with his workmates was not as easy as he had anticipated.
B. Cultivating positive interpersonal relationships helped him expel solitary feelings.
C. Working in the corporate world requires more interpersonal skills than
self-employment.
D. Building close relationships with his colleagues was not as important as he had
ejected.
129. What do we learn from many studies about collegial relationships?
A. Inharmonious relationships have an adverse effect on productivity.
B. Harmonious relationships are what many companies aim to cultivate.
C. Close collegial relationships contribute very little to product quality.
D. Conflicting relationships in the workplace exist almost everywhere.
130. What does the author say about people who are socially lazy?
A. They feel uncomfortable when engaging in social interactions.
B. They often find themselves in confrontation with their colleagues.
C. They are unwilling to make efforts to maintain workplace relationships.
D. They lack basic communication skills in dealing with interpersonal issues.
131. What is one of the benefits of indifferent relationships?
A. They provide fun at work.
B. They help control emotions.
C. They help resolve differences.
D. They improve work efficiency.
Section C
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the
box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you
need.
A. Fame is a powerful cultural magnet.
B. This quote first appeared in print in 1981.
C. So, in the long run, it was an effective, adaptive strategy.
D. It awards celebrity status to people who have done nothing to deserve it.
E. People use indirect cues of success as adaptive short-cuts to select role models.
F. Prestige-biased learning has been crucial to the evolutionary success of our species.
“The definition of insanity(疯子)is doing the same thing over and over again and
expecting a different result.” You may recognize this brilliant quote from genius physicist
Albert Einstein.
Many famous people have probably said less than half the things you’ve heard them
being quoted on. This is because quotes are more quotable and inspirational when they
come from those famous for their success and wisdom.
Misattributing quotes is just one aspect of our tendency to give celebrities more credit
than they rightfully deserve. Nowadays, it’s not just wisdom we want to gain from famous
people, we copy everything from soccer players’ hairstyles, to pop singers' fashion sense
and movie stars’ exercise regimes.
In a recent BBC radio program, social anthropologist Jamie Tehrani tried to explain our
obsession with celebrities from an anthropologist’s perspective.
132. __________. Tehrani points out that humans acquire knowledge, ideas and skills by
copying from others, rather than through individual trial and error. However, we pay far
more attention to the habits and behaviors demonstrated by famous people than those
demonstrated by ordinary folks in our community.
Tehrani calls this “prestige-biased learning” (声望学习法). Prestige is a form of
social status that is based on respect and admiration for members of one’s community. In
primitive society, if a hunter is extremely good at hunting, he would be well respected in his
tribe and other hunters would study his hunting skills or copy his method of making
weapons. 133.__________.
In the past, Tehrani said, any useless features we acquired as a result of prestige-biased
learning were cancelled out by the benefits of picking up useful skills. 134. __________.
But in the modern world, politicians become famous through sex scandals and singers
sell more albums after they die from a drug overdose. Bob Beckel from USA Today bemoans
today’s pop culture. 135. __________.
Being famous has become an end in itself. In primitive society, a good hunter was a role
model because people could learn from him and had a better chance of surviving. Today, we
need to ask ourselves if someone is really a good role model and what superior knowledge
or skill they can teach us before adoring them.
