To make tomorrow a little better, Feeding America, the nation’s largest 36 hunger-

meal. What’s most surprising is that 36% of them live in 44 where at least one adult

Passage 2 Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage: How men first learned

Passage 2 Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:

How men first learned to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken, or written in letters we call words.

The power of words, then, lies in their combinations — the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.

Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and feelings. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary (文字的) style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and rude.

第6题:The origin of language ________.

A. is reflected in sounds and letters B. is handed down from generation to generation C. dates back to the prehistoric period D. is a problem not yet solved

Part A

Directions: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. (40 points)

What our society suffers from most today is the absence of consensus about what it and life in it ought to be; such consensus cannot be gained from society's present stage, or from fantasies about what it ought to be. For that the present is too close and too diversified, and the future too uncertain, to make believable claims about it. A consensus in the present hence can be achieved only through a shared understanding of the past, as Homer's epics informed those who lived centuries later what it meant to be Greek, and by what images and ideals they were to live their lives and organize their societies.

Most societies derive consensus from a long history, a language all their own, a common religion, common ancestry. The myths by which they live are based on all of these. But the United States is a country of immigrants, coming from a great variety of nations. Lately, it has been emphasized that an asocial, narcissistic personality has become characteristic of Americans, and that it is this type of personality that makes for the lack of well-being, because it prevents us from achieving consensus that would counteract a tendency to withdraw into private worlds. In this study of narcissism, Christopher Lash says that modern man, "tortured by self-consciousness, turns to new therapies not to free himself of his personal worries but to find meaning and purpose in life, to find something to live for". There is widespread distress because national morale has declined, and we have lost an earlier sense of national vision and purpose.

Contrary to rigid religions or political beliefs, as are found in totalitarian societies, our culture is one of the great individual differences, at least in principle and in theory; but this leads to disunity, even chaos. Americans believe in the value of diversity, but just because ours is a society based on individual diversity, it needs consensus about some dominating ideas more than societies based on uniform. origin of their citizens. Hence, if we are to have consensus, it must be based on a myth—a vision about a common experience, a conquest that made us Americans, as the myth about the conquest of Troy formed the Greeks. Only a common myth can offer relief from the fear that life is without meaning or purpose. Myths permit us to examine our place in the world by comparing it to a shared idea. Myths are shared fantasies that form. the tie that binds the individual to other members of his group. Such myths help to ward off feelings of isolations, guilt, anxiety, and purposelessness—in short, they combat isolation and the breakdown of social standards and values.

This text is mainly intended to ______.

A.explore certain ways of making for a consensus.

B.spotlight the role of myths in binding a community.

C.interpret the meaning and purpose of modern life.

D.reverse the decline of social standards and values.

Questions are based on the following passage.For years, high school students have received

Questions are based on the following passage.

For years, high school students have received identical textbooks as their classmates.Even asstudents have different learning styles and abilities, they are force-fed the same materials."Imagine adigital textbook where because I"m adifferent person and learn differently, my book is different thanyour book," said Richard Baraniuk, founder of OpenStax.

OpenStax will spend two years developing the personalized books and then test them on Houston-area students.The books will also go through a review and evaluation process similar to traditionaltextbooks.Baranluk expects 60 people to review each book before publication to ensure its quality.The idea is to make learning easier, so students can go on to more successful careers and lives.

Baraniuk isn"t just reproducing physical textbooks on digital devices, a mistake e-book publishers havemade.He"s seriously rethinking that the educational experience should be in a world of digital tools.Todo this means involving individuals with skills traditionally left out of the textbook business.Baraniuk iscurrently hiring cognitive scientists and machine learning experts.Baraniuk wants to use the tactics of Google, Netfllx and Amazon to deliver a personalized experience.These Web services all rely oncomplex algorithms (算法) to automatically adjust their offerings for customers.Just as Netlix recommends different movies based on your preferences and viewing history, a textbook might present materials at a different pace.The textbook——which will be stored on a range of digital devices——will automatically adjust itself thanks to machine learning.As a student learns about a topic, he or she could be interrupted by brief quizzes that evaluate, whether he or she masters the area.Depending on how the student does, the subject could be reinforce~l with more material.Or a teacher could be automatically e-mailed that the student is struggling with a certain concept and could use some one-on-one attention.This personalized learning experience is possible thanks to the wealth of data a digital textbook cantrack.This data can be used to better track students" progress during a course.Parents and teacherscan monitor a student"s development and provide in time more proper assistm ce.With personalizedlearning methods, our students" talents will be better developed.

What do we learn about personalized books? 查看材料

A.Their quality will be ensured since they are developed by OpenStax.

B.They will be examined and judged before being published.

C.They will overlook different learning styles and abilities.

D.They will be much similar to traditional textbooks.

Section B – TWO questions ONLY to be attemptedAPX Accountancy (APX) is an accountancy part

Section B – TWO questions ONLY to be attempted

APX Accountancy (APX) is an accountancy partnership with 12 branches covering each of the main cities of Emland. The business is well established, having organically grown over the last 40 years to become the second largest non-international practice in Emland. The accountancy market is mature and expands and contracts along with the general economic performance of Emland.

APX offers accountancy, audit, tax and business advisory services. The current business environment in Emland is dominated by a recession and the associated insolvency work is covered within the business advisory area of APX.

At present, the practice collects the following information for strategic performance evaluation:

The above figures are for the most recent financial year and illustrate the metrics used by APX. Equivalent monthly figures are produced for each of the monthly partner meetings which review practice performance.

The staff are remunerated based on their grade, with non-partners obtaining a bonus of up to 10% of basic salary based on their line managers’ annual review. The partners receive a fixed salary with a share of profit which depends on their contractual responsibilities within the partnership.

The managing partner of APX is dissatisfied with the existing performance management system, as she is not convinced that it is helping to achieve the long-term goal of expanding and ultimately floating the business on the national stock exchange. Therefore, she has asked you to consider the impact of applying Fitzgerald and Moon’s building block approach to performance management in the practice.

Required:

(a) Briefly describe Fitzgerald and Moon’s building block model of performance management. (4 marks)

(b) Evaluate the existing performance management system at APX by applying the building block model. (8 marks)

(c) Explain the main improvements the introduction of a building block approach to performance management could provide, and suggest specific improvements to the existing system of performance measures at APX in light of the introduction of the building block model. (8 marks)

Questions are based on the following passage.Today, the poor aren "t just more likely to g

Questions are based on the following passage.

Today, the poor aren "t just more likely to get divorced. They"re more likely to avoidmarriage entirely.

Earlier today, my colleague Derek Thompson argued that; it"s misleading to thinkof marriage as a "luxury good". Why? Because luxury goods are something the rich buyand the poor can"t afford. But in the case of marriage the trend is more complex. The vastmajority of Americans tie the knot at some point in their lives, he argues. It"s just thatthose without a college education are far, far more likely to get divorced. Marriage is foreveryone; failed marriages are for the poor.

Bleak stuff. But it"s getting bleaker.

Derek"s post is based on a long-term study of young Baby Boomers, who were atleast 46 years old by 2010. But among younger Americans, marriage really is lookingmore and more like something you"d have to buy at Tiffany"s. According to 2012 CensusBureau report, which shows the percentage of men who have never married by age andincome, the less a guy earns nowadays, the less likely they are to have ever gotten married.

Well, that"s not 100 percent true. Among twenty-somethings there seems to be arich bachelor effect going on (or an overworked young professional effect, if you prefer).

Those making $75,000 or more are somewhat less likely to have been married than thosemaking between $40,000 and $75,000.

This particular set of Census data unfortunately tells us much less about women andmarriage. The problem: Stay-at-home morns.

The key to remember, though, is that many educated, high-earuing women, the sortswho are likely to meet and marry educated and high-earning men, leave the workforce orgo part time once they have children. So a publicist who once made over $70,000 a yearmight only earn $20,000 if she decided to work fewer hours while caring for her childrenat home.

Here"s why this trend——not just the move towards divorce like Derek talked about,but the move from nuptials (婚礼 ) entirely——is so gloomy. Getting married, and stayingmarried, is one of the surest ways of securing a middle class life. By choosing not to wedin the first place, the poor are abandoning that chance at stability.

Why doesn‘t Derek Thompson think that marriage is a luxury good? 查看材料

A.Because not everyone will get married eventually.

B.Because only rich people can afford to get married.

C.Because most people will get married regardless of their financial state.

D.Because lots of people can"t afford an expensive nuptial.
