Questions 56-60 are based on the following passage.

#ia~Jisflfi: https://shop499712503.taobao.com/ !is .±aiaI: '.l:lmJtft

 Glaciers consist of fallen snow that compresses over many years into large, thickened ice masses. Most of the
world's glacial ice is found in Antarctica and Greenland, but glaciers are found on nearly every continent, even
Africa. Presently, I 0% of land area is covered with glaciers. Glacial ice often appears blue because ice absorbs all
other colors but reflects blue. Almost 90% of an iceberg is below water; only about 10% shows above water. What
makes glaciers unique is their ability to move. Due to sheen mass, glaciers flow like very slow rivers. Some
glaciers are as small as football fields, whereas others grow to be over I 00 kilometers long.

Within the past 750,000 years, scientists know that there have been eight Ice Age cycles, separated by
warmer periods called interglacial periods. Currently, the earth is the end of an interglacial, meaning that another
Ice Age is due in a few thousand years. This is part of the normal climate variation cycle. Greenhouse warming
may delay the onset of another glacial era, but scientists still have many questions to answer about climate change.
Although glaciers change very slowly over long periods, they may provide important global climate change
signals.

The girth of the ice, combined with gravity's influence, causes glaciers to flow very slowly. Once a mass of
compressed ice reaches a critical thickness of about 18 meters thick, it becomes so heavy that it begins to deform
and move. Ice may flow down mountains and valleys, fan across plains, or spread out to sea. Movement along the
underside of a glacier is slower than movement at the top due to the friction created as it slides along the ground's
surface.

Most glaciers are found in remote mountainous areas. However, some found near cities or towns present a
danger to the people living nearby. On land, lakes formed on top of a glacier, during the melt season may cause
floods. At the narrow part of a valley glacier, ice falling from the glacier presents a hazard to hikers below. When
ice breaks off over the ocean, an iceberg is formed.

Glaciers are a natural resource and contain 75% of the world's freshwater. People world-wide are trying to
harness the power of these frozen streams. Some towns rely on glacial melting from a nearby ice cap to provide
drinking water. Some farmers spread soil or ashes over snow to promote melting, hoping that the melting will
provide water to irrigate crops in drought-stricken Areas. Others have channeled melt water from glaciers to their
fields. Scientists and engineer shave worked together to tap into-glacial resources, using electricity that has been
generated in part by damming glacial melt water.

56. Why does glacial ice often appear blue to the eyes?

A. Because the visible light striking the ice surface is reflected.

B. Because it absorbs all the colours except blue, which is thrown back.

C. Because it has the ability to move forward.

D. Because only I O percent of it shows above water.

57. What can be concluded about glaciers according to the passage?

A. There won't be another Ice Age coming in the future.

B. Glaciers have both negative and positive effects on human life.

C. Scientists have difficulty studying global climate change.

D. Scientists don't have enough data on the formation of glaciers.

variations in sea level.

59. When a glacier thickens to a critical point, it starts to ___ .

60. Glacial melt water can be dammed to produce___ .

Section B ( 10 points )

In this section~ there is one passage followed by five questions. You should answer each question in a maximum
of ten words using information from the passage.Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.

Questions 61-65 are based on the following passage.

He was a funny looking man with a cheerful face, good-natured and a great talker. He was described by his
student, the great philosopher Plato, as''the best, most just and wisest man. ''Yet, this same man was sentenced to
death for his beliefs.

The man was the Greek philosopher, Socrates, the most interesting and influential thinker in the fifth century.
His dedication to careful reasoning transformed the entire enterprise. Since he sought genuine knowledge rather
than mere victory over an opponent, Socrates employed the same logical tricks developed by the Sophists to a new
purpose, the pursuit of truth. Thus, his willingness to call everything into question and his determination to accept
nothing less than an adequate account of the nature of things made him the first clear exponent of critical
philosophy.

He was condemned for not believing in the recognized gods and for corrupting young people. The second
charge stemmed from his association with numerous young men who went to Athens from all over the civilized
world to study under him.

Socrates' method of teaching was to ask questions and, by pretending not to know the answers, to press his
students into thinking for themselves. His teachings had unsurpassed influence on all the great Greek and Roman
schools of philosophy. Yet, for all his fame and influence, Socrates himself never wrote a word.

Socrates encouraged new ideas and free thinking in the young, and this was frightening to conservative
people, and they wanted him silenced. Yet, many were probably surprised that he accepted death so readily.

Socrates had the right to ask for a lesser penalty, and he probably could have won over enough of the people
who had previously condemned him. But as a firm believer in law, Socrates reasoned that it was proper to submit,
so, he calmly accepted his fate and drank a cup of poison hemlock in the presence of his grief-stricken friends and
students.

Questions

61. Why was Socrates condemned to death?

#ia~Jisflfi: https://shop499712503.taobao.com/ !is .±aiaI: '.l:lmJtft

62. What did the ''new purpose''mean in the second paragraph?

63. What did the most of Socrates contemporaries believe in?

64. What was the purpose of Socrates' teachings?

65. Why did Socrates accept the death penalty?

Section C ( 10 points )

In this section~ there is one passage followed by a summary. You should complete the summary in a maximum of
three words for each blank using information from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the answer
sheet.

Questions 66-70 are based on the following passage.

Becky Howard,23, is desperate to lose weight. Like thousands of women across Britain this weekend, she is
starting a calorie-counting weight loss programme to reach her goal of 8 stone(50.9 kilos). At just under nine stone

(57.3kilos) she could hardly be described as fat, but nevertheless is determined to achieve a slimmer, more
desirable shape.

New food fashions, strict detox therapies, ''healthy'' cookery books, and the latest gym equipment are be ing
marketed as never before, yet as a nation Britain is suffering from an epidemic of obesity. The illusory nature of
quick-fix diets is revealed with the stark facts that more than half of all English women-and nearly two-thirds of
all men-are overweight. A report last year suggests that one in five adults is now clinically obese-a condition
leaving them at risk of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and osteoarthritis.

According to a survey of more than 1, OOOrespondents by the British Heart Foundation, nearly half the nation
intends to lose more than five kilos in weight this month. Most people put on about 2 kilos over Christmas, with
6,000 calories consumed on Christmas Day alone.

But men and women have different reasons for wanting to be slimmer and fitter as they begin a new year. A
fifth of men, according to the BHF survey, say they diet to become more healthy, while nearly half want to boost
their energy levels.

For women, it is pure vanity. They say that losing the kilos will boost their self-confidence, while nearly half
the respondents admit they would feel a lot happier if they could wear a smaller size in clothes.

While the charity does not want to discourage weight loss-about one-third of all deaths from coronary heart
disease are from an unhealthy diet-cardiac experts are keen to stress that what people should be doing is cutting
saturated fat out of their meals, instead of cutting down drastically on all food. Their new approach, based on the
fact that thousands of people are determined to shift the kilos, is to give them practical tips for losing weight,
based on eating sensibly.

According to Dr. Ian Campbell, who works in general practice and at Nottingham's university Hospital,
keeping your motivation beyond January is very demanding."We should be discouraging people from dieting as
#ia~Jisflfi: https://shop499712503.taobao.com/ !is .±aiaI: '.l:lmJtft
such, because they usually become miserable and despondent and find it doesn't work. It has to be about a
healthier lifestyle and they should feel able to talk to their doctor about the problems, because that can make a big
difference to maintaining long-term motivation.

(66) ___ is an increasing problem in Britain, with more and more people suffering from heart
disease and other medical conditions. A recent survey by the British Heart Foundation found that
both men and women would like to (67) ___ , although they have different reasons for wanting
to do this. Many people start to diet as they begin a new year after(68)___ over Christmas, but
these unhealthy diets may indirectly (69) ___ . According to medical experts, people should aim
for a healthier lifestyle, trying to cut down on saturated fat and (70) ___ .

Section D ( 10 points )

In this section~ there is one passage followed by five questions. Remember to write the answers on the answer
sheet.

Questions 71- 75 are based on the following passage.

Work may sometimes seem like hell, but when people haven't got it, they miss it, they want it and
perhaps they even need it.Everyone wants to be valued and it seems to me that a salary is proof that your matter.

I've been doing some informal research on this topic and some jobs are better than others when it comes to
how valuable they are to us. Housework and voluntary work tend to be seen as non-jobs. In this work-centred
culture of ours, a''proper job''means paid employment. Being paid for a job is better for our self-esteem. Of course,
people would also prefer work to be useful and interesting, as well as paid. But you don't have to enjoy your job to
get psychological benefits from it. According to some experts, achieving unenjoyably tasks during our work
actually contributes to a sense of well-being. (74) The obligation to be in a particular place at a particular time,
working as part of a team towards a common goal, gives us a sense of structure and purpose that people find
difficult to impose on themselves. The workplace has also taken over from the community as the place of human
contact. Work often functions, as a social club, an information network, an informal dating agency and a marriage
bureau.

Genuine workaholics are uncommon, but I think that many people are job addicts without realising it. When
people can't work for whatever reason, they show similar signs to real addicts who are deprived of their ''fix''
they become irritable and lethargic. Among newly retired men in particular, death rates increase significantly in
the first six months after leaving employment. For most of their lives, their personality, self-esteem and status
have been defined by work; without it, research shows that they lose their appetite for life.I don't think that life
was always so driven by employment, however.(75) Work in the pre-industrial age was task-oriented, not time-
structured. and focused not on money but on the tasks necessary for survival. Whole com-munities worked
together so there was less division between work and ''free time''. The Industrial Revolution radically changed
how people worked. Suddenly, work was no longer structured by seasons, but by the clock. From that point on,
work became separated from the rest of life, and began to provide money rather than food and goods.

#ia~Jisflfi: https://shop499712503.taobao.com/ !is .±aiaI: '.l:lmJtft

 More recently, the revolution in Information Technology has again changed the nature of work and
employment. The workplace itself may become redundant. Apparently,3.5 million employees in the UK now work
from home, keeping in touch via email and phone. Many employers say that working ''remotely''improves
productivity, as workers are happier and waste less time commuting. There are disadvantages too, however, as
workers lose touch with the workplace and the people there. It's clear to me that people will have to accept that the
nature of work has changed and will continue to do so. After all, we managed to accept the nine-to-five working
day and there is no reason why we can't accept a different way of working, too.

For Questions 71-73, mark

Y (for YES) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage;

N (for NO) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage.

71. Non-paid work is just as good as paid work in terms of increasing self-esteem.

72. The social aspect of work is now very important for the majority of people.

73. When people retire, they sometimes feel less happy than when they worked.
