should not just be seen as isolated cultural or
political battles, but rather should be heard as
both the battle cry of China’s new class struggle
and as a conflict of globalization. ----. In fact, all
these issues are directly related to the factors of
globalization that have helped China rise. The
opportunities brought by globalization have
hidden costs.
A) There is reason to celebrate; as China embraced
globalization millions of jobs have been created.
B) Compared with where they were just 20 years
ago, even the common people on the bottom have
seen their standard of living vastly improve
C) Globalization has also tied Western leaders to
the top of the bus, because a failed China would
be catastrophic for the world’s economy
D) One day we see China as an enormous global
factory, and the next we view China’s domestic
problems, such as the recent terrorist attack in
Kunming and tensions in Xinjiang and Tibet
E) Based on the recent public opinion surveys,
Chinese citizens have frequently ranked
corruption, pollution, and social tension as their
top concerns

56. ----. It, therefore, becomes difficult for non-
residential parents, 90 percent of whom are
fathers, to maintain close ties with their children.
For example, children spend significantly more
nights with their mother than their father. Nearly
50 percent of the children in one study reported
not seeing their non-resident father in the past
year, and the small number that had recently
stayed overnight at the father’s residence did so
for a special visit, not as part of a regular routine
A) Divorce leads to a decline in the frequency and
quality of parent-child contact and relationships
B) Divorced mothers have particular problems with
their sons, though their relationship will likely
improve within two years
C) Compared with continuously-married mothers,
divorced mothers tend to be less affectionate and
communicative with their children
D) Boys, especially if they live with their mother,
respond with more hostility to parental divorce
than girls do
E) Girls often far worse than boys when living with
their father or stepfather after a parental divorce

57. Reading regularly increases learners’
vocabulary especially where the children are
oriented on the use of the dictionary whenever
they meet a new or difficult word in the text. ----.
The study stated that children who learn to read
by the time they are in third grade are less likely
to drop out of school or engage in different vices
such as drugs, or end up in prison. The same
research further revealed that reading increases a
student’s ability to concentrate, which can
enhance some degree of comprehension and this
is the vital goal of reading for school children.
A) As they read different texts written in various
forms they also learn different types of writing
styles
B) Another benefit, as stated by one of the studies
conducted in the United States, is that reading can
develop positive values in children
C) Reading is an active mental process where
children use their brain
D) These are the component tasks of reading and,
they are progressive steps in learning to read,
which move from sounds, to words, to sentences
and paragraphs
E) Beginning readers must also understand the
concept of the alphabetic principle in order to
master basic reading skills

58. The Internet can increase the speed and
accuracy of communications between suppliers,
distributors, and customers. Furthermore, the
Internet's low cost allows companies of any size
to be able to take advantage of value-chain
integration. ---- . For instance, using e-mail to
notify customers instead of using regular mail
helps for reducing cost. Selling to distant
customers using the company web site may allow
revenue improvement or generation. These sales
may not have been materialized otherwise or
selling digital products such as songs or computer
software or distributing software through the
Web.
A) The ultimate goal of an e-business is to
generate revenue and make a profit, similar to
traditional businesses
B) The major constraints of this include shortages
of infrastructure, price of Internet access,
education and lack of content
C) Consumers browsing online stores can easily
search to find exactly what they are looking for
D) E-commerce may improve value chain by
identifying new opportunities for cost reduction
E) Even the smallest online retail sites can sell
products and turn a profit with a very simple
online presence

59. There has long been an important African
American presence in the Great Plains. African
Americans were there in the early years of
exploration, through the conflicts over slavery in
Kansas, on the cattle drives, and in the celebrated
black frontier regiments. As "Exodusters" they
were part of the pioneer settlement of the
region, and in the twentieth century they moved
to new urban frontiers in Plains cities. As
elsewhere in the country, African Americans have
been victimized on the Plains, most drastically in
the Tulsa Race Riot of 1921. ----
A) However, the Great Plains has also seen some
of their greatest triumphs, such as the victory in
Brown Valley
B) Nebraska, for example, reported eighty-two
African Americans in 1860, mainly free, and an
1856 count in Kansas listed 400 African American
slaves
C)Moreover, the antislavery debate was not
limited to politics but raged among ordinary
citizens across the land
D) Therefore, in one of the great migrations in U.S.
history, African Americans left the rural South for
the cities of the Northeast
E) When it came to finding the truth or writing
editorials, the journalist was known internationally

History holds many oddities that we may never
fully understand, either through incomplete
documentation, disinterest at the time, or simply a
big question mark that hangs over all. Among
these are mysterious tribes of people that have
been encountered and confronted in all corners of
the globe, often vanishing before we really
understand them and leaving us perplexed at just
who they were or where their origins lie. One such
tribe was a mysterious group of Native Americans
who appeared to explorers as something quite
European in nature, although their ways and
beginnings have always been cloaked in shadows.
Known mostly from historical accounts, their
origins remain murky, their lineage uncertain, and
they are a historical curiosity we may never fully
understand. During the era of early European
contact, the native peoples of North America held
many curiosities for explorers and settlers coming
to this new, wild land. These tribes were
numerous, and displayed rich variety between
different cultures, as well as myriad languages,
customs, and traditions that inspired awe, wonder,
curiosity, bafflement, and even fear in the
European adventurers who bravely delved into this
uncharted new world and tried to tame it. Yet as
fascinating as these new peoples were, perhaps
the most interesting was an alleged tribe of
natives who were said to look decidedly Caucasian
in nature.
67. We can infer from the passage that ----.
A) Caucasian people once lived in America after
Europeans discovered this new world
B) all native tribes of America are alleged to use
the same language despite differences in cultures
C) Europeans were not successful at taming the
new world and its native peoples
D) European adventurers were not the first people
to arrive in the new world Americas
E) no matter what tribe Europeans encountered,
they left fear over those peoples behind them
68. According to the writer, ---.
A) the most interesting thing about the native
tribes of the new world is that they were rich in
cultures and languages
B) European adventurers who went into the new
world experienced fear more than any other
feeling when they encountered the natives
C) besides new peoples Europeans met in the new
world, what amazes him most may be the native
tribe said to resemble Caucasian
D) it is likely that history holds many mysteries of
native American tribes due to a political cover-up
agenda

66. It is stated in the passage that it seems E) now it is too late for us to try to learn who those
unlikely for us to have a complete grasp of the mysteries tribes or where their origins lie
history because ---- .

A) the scholars do not display sincere interest to

solve out the mystery

B) we have so many oddities in history that it is

unreasonable to try to prove them through
documentation one by one

C) there are insufficient documents besides the

lack of interest at that time

D) modern world’s interest is limited to the

European history and its mysteries

E) focusing solely on the mysterious tribes leaves

us perplexed, which may be desirable for some

You might presume, or at least hope, that humans
are better at understanding fellow humans than
machines are. But a new MIT study suggests an
algorithm can predict someone’s behaviour faster
and more reliably than humans can. Max Kanter, a
master’s student in computer science at MIT, and
his advisor, Kalyan Veeramachaneni, created the
Data Science Machine to search for patterns and
choose which variables are the most relevant. In
three competitions with human teams, a machine
made more accurate predictions than 615 of 906
human teams. And while humans worked on their
predictive algorithms for months, the machine
took two to 12 hours to produce each of its
competition entries. For example, when one
competition asked teams to predict whether a
student would drop out during the next ten days,
based on student interactions with resources on
an online course, there were many possible factors
to consider. The Data Science Machine performed
well in this competition. It was also successful in
two other competitions, one in which participants
had to predict whether a crowd-funded project
would be considered “exciting” and another if a
customer would become a repeat buyer. As a
result, to human’s own surprise, it seems that
today machines are more successful than humans
at both understanding and predicting human
behaviours.
70. We can understand from the passage that ----.
A) researchers can one day come up with a totally
human-like machine with artificial intelligence to
make it work in social research field
B) humans expect to be better understood by
other humans rather than machines, even if the
opposite is the reality
C) there are competitions for the machines like the
Data Science Machine in order to establish their
reputation in the sales markets
D) the researchers who developed the Data
Science Machine are now world-famous and may
set up their own businesses soon
E) the Data Science Machine is still an exciting
project developed at MIT by two researchers and
needs to be studied more meticulously
71.The passage is mainly about ----.
A) the scientific methods Max Kanter and Kalyan
Veeramachaneni employed to develop the Data
Science Machine
B) in which fields the Data Science Machine can be
helpful to the humanity
C) how better the Data Science Machine than
humans at analysing human behaviour

D) the types of competitions the machines like the

Data Science Machine are taking part
69. It is stated in the passage that a machine with
an algorithm ----. E) why humans are worse at understanding and
predicting their own human fellows’ behaviours
A) is better than human fellows at understanding
human behaviour in terms of speed and reliability

B) is now successfully proving its reliability in three

competitions against other machines

C) was able to predict which salespersons would

increase the sales most in one month in a certain
firm

D) seems to be rejected by the governmental

bodies given the privacy issues

E) is also potentially helpful to determine the

criminal acts before they are committed

All men are created equal, but they do not stay
that way for long. That is one message of a report
this month by the OECD, a club of 35 mostly rich
democracies. Many studies show how income gaps
have evolved over time or between countries. The
OECD’s report looks instead at how inequality
evolves with age. As people build their careers, or
don’t, their incomes tend to diverge. This
inequality peaks when a generation reaches its
late 50s. But it tends to fall thereafter, as people
draw redistributive public pensions and quit the
rat race. Old age, the OECD notes, is a “leveller”.
Will it remain so? Retirement, after all, flattens
incomes not by redistributing from rich seniors to
poor, but by transferring money to old people
from younger, working taxpayers. There will be
fewer of them around in the future for every
retired person, reducing the role of redistributive
public pensions. One logical response to the
diminishing number of workers per pensioner is to
raise the retirement age. But that will exacerbate
old-age inequality, if mildly. Longer careers will
give richer workers more time to compound their
advantages. And when retirement eventually
arrives, the poor, who die earlier, will have less
time to enjoy their pensions.

Although Instagram is known for promoting
everything from clean living to mental health,
some accounts do cause us to feel like failures in
the life department. Scrolling through endless
photos of flawless faces and toned bodies can
leave you exhausted and losing a grip on what’s
real. After all, we know that many celebrity photos
are heavily edited yet our attempts to rival Kylie
Jenner and co are never-ending. Now, a recent
study has confirmed that Instagram is more
damaging to our self-esteem than traditional
magazines and adverts. A study asked 150 female
undergraduates if they had compared themselves
to someone else over a five day period and
whether that physical comparison was made after
looking at social media, traditional media or in
person. The results showed that women rarely
compare their appearance to the figures shown in
magazines but that they do every single day on
social media. They reported feeling that others
looked better than them on social media –
probably because we all post the most attractive
photos possible. The female participants also said
they were in a worse mood after scrolling through
Instagram and were more motivated to start a diet
or other forms of weight loss. Only young women
were tested in this body image study but research
suggests that men too may be affected.

An obvious but often neglected recommendation
to solve food scarcity is to reduce waste in the
food system. Roughly 30 percent of the food
produced on the planet is discarded, lost, spoiled
or consumed by pests. In rich countries, much of
the waste takes place at the consumer end of the
system, in restaurants and trash cans. Simple
changes in our daily consumption patterns -
reducing oversize portions, food thrown in the
garbage, and the number of takeout and
restaurant meals - could significantly trim losses,
as well as our expanding waistlines. In poorer
countries, the losses are similar in size but occur at
the producer end, in the form of failed crops,
stockpiles ruined by pests, or food that is never
delivered because of bad infrastructure and
markets. Improved storage, refrigeration and
distribution systems can cut waste appreciably.
Although completely eliminating waste from farm
to fork is not realistic, even small steps would be
extremely beneficial. Targeted efforts especially
reducing waste of the most resource-intensive
foods such as meat and dairy could make a big
difference.
79. The writer believes that ----.
A) the problem of food scarcity cannot be solved
soon as there are no efforts to reduce waste food
B) it is impossible to end food waste from
producer to consumer totally
C) the food waste in poorer countries has nothing
to with infrastructure
D) the solution of reducing waste in the food
system is mostly ignored by rich people
E) unless important steps are taken to eradicate
food waste, nothing can be achieved
80. What would make the best title for this
passage?
A) How to Grow More to Feed the Rising
Population
B) Solutions to Curb Skyrocketing Population
C) The Food Waste in Poorer Countries and
Solutions
D) Time to Reduce Food Waste
E) Who to Blame, Consumers or Producers

78. It is stated in the passage that ---- .

A) lowering the portion size in the restaurants will

not be enough to reduce food waste

B) more than a third of food is lost during

transportation to the consumer in rich countries

C) consumers in poorer countries waste as much

food as those in rich countries

D) modest shifts in everyday food consumption

not only diminish food waste but help us lose
weight

E) there is no difference between poor and rich

countries in where and how food waste occurs
