Formation B. initially C. place D. advocates E. assumptions F. J. revised K. Unaffected G. undoubtedly H. characterized existing I. enormous Minimum wage laws in the U.S. were first introduced during the 1930s in response to the Great Depression. This period was __31__ by falling output, falling prices, and falling employment. The National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA) of 1933 attempted to stop this downward trend by encouraging the __32__ of trade association agreements that established the lowest price and minimum wages. This was the first time that minimum wages were introduced in major industries. But in 1935, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the NIRA was unlawful, and these initial minimum wage agreements came to an end.
In 1938, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) established a national minimum wage of $0.25 an hour. This Act __33__ only applied to a relatively small share of the labor force, but has been __34__ over time so that it now applies to about 90% of all nonsupervisory workers.
Introductory economies textbooks usually first introduce the minimum wage as an application of demand and supply analysis. This starting discussion is usually based on the
following __35__: the labor market is perfectly competitive, the
minimum wage covers all workers, and worker productivity is __36__ by the wage rate.
While minimum wage increases generally receive __37__ public support, economists have generally argued that such laws will result in an increase in the
unemployment rate in low-wage labor markets.
An issue related to that of a minimum wage is a growing movement for a “living wage”.Living wage proposals suggest that the __38__ minimum wage is too low to allow families to be above the poverty level. Now, __39__ of this view support “living wage laws” that require the local government to only accept contracts from firms that pay their workers a wage that is high ___40_____a law in 1994. Under Baltimore’s “living wage” requirement, firms must pay a worker an hourly wage that will allow a full-time worker to receive an annual income greater than or equal to the poverty level for a family of three.
III. Reading Comprehension (45%) 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.
When you’re shopping at the grocery store, you probably expect that the olive oil you see came from,well, olives. And that the organic vegetables were never exposed to poisonous chemicals.
Increasingly, however, there’s a
chance you might be __41__. In recent
years, there has been a rise in reports of so-called food fraud, or attempts by various entities — including storage workers, suppliers and distributors — to alter products and mislead customers and food companies alike for __42__ gain. Among the more recent examples: “natural” honey containing antibiotics and Italian companies selling “Italian olive oil” from a blend of oils that did not __43__ from Italy.
By and large, the fraudsters are trying to make easy money — __44__ for a whole food or pricey ingredient, then cutting it with __45__ stuff secretly. But the health consequences can be __46__.
How can this happen? In the U.S., the Pure Food and Drug Act has prevented the “manufacture, sale or transportation of misbranded or poisonous foods” since 1906, and similar laws exist in other countries.
But most global food regulators, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, aren’t __47__ to enforce them effectively. For the most part, they focus on safety standards — __48__ that foods don’t contain bacteria or viruses — and rely on companies to police their own ingredients, lest they face __49__ backlash（强烈抵制）. But now that food manufacturing has become globalized, supply chains are longer, creating more opportunities for bad actors to __50__. Anyone who can __51__ substituting cheap ingredients for more expensive ones is going to try.
Governments are starting to fight back. In 2014, the U.K. created a food-crime unit that collects reports of food fraud. But in order to prevent fraud in the first place, the food industry needs to __52__ the safeguarding of its own production network. So the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) — a trade group including officials from more than 300 food manufactures — will this year start __53__ its members’ supply chains, from field to table, to identify vulnerabilities.
__54__, dozens of other food-industry experts recently teamed up with academics from Michigan State University to launch the Food Fraud Initiative （FFI）, a group that studies fraudsters — specifically, how they avoid safeguards — and then advises food companies on how to get rid of them. “There are plenty of criminals out there who are going to wake up and perceive some opportunity for fraud,” says John Spink, director of the FFI. “We just need to make ourselves a(n) __55__ target.” 41.

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)
Sleeper trains occupy a romantic corner of any traveler’s soul. One of Hercule Poirot’s most fascinating adventures takes place on the Simplon Orient Express, which used to run from Paris to Istanbul. A famous scene in Alfred Hitchcock’s “North by Northwest” features a night train entering a tunnel. James Bond, meanwhile, detects a spy on a sleeper train after noticing him behave suspiciously in the dining car.
In some parts of the world, the nostalgia（怀旧）lives on. The Caledonian Sleeper, complete with smartly dressed waiters, neeps and tatties（白萝卜泥和土豆泥）and a selection of whiskies, is the best way to travel between London and Scotland. Elsewhere, however, sleepers are on their last legs . Flights across Europe have become so cheap that fewer and fewer travelers bother with sleeper trains. Sensing that the end is approaching. Andrew Martin, a British writer, has written a book
about the sleeper.
“Night Trains” is a brief history of the mode, combined with accounts of journeys Mr.Martin has taken on sleeper routes across Europe. The reader joins him on a train Munich,where he eats a tuna sandwich on board. Travelling from Paris to Venice, he thinks he has been robbed of $105. The service to Nice is cancelled, yet such is his love for sleeping aboard that he spends the night on the train as it sits on the platform.
These stories make clear that the golden age of the sleeper train is long past. How different things were in the 19th century, when a passenger on the Orient Express could dine on delicacies and good wines. The only modern-day sleeper train which comes up to the Mr. Martin’s exacting standards is the Nordland, which travels towards northern Norway.
Those who have no experience of the sleeper trains often ask sleeper enthusiasts: ”Do you sleep?” After a read of Mr. Martin’s book, the answer would seem to be a definite “no”: the noise of the train wake him up time and again. Still, it is hard not to be won over by his enthusiasm. Catch the sleeper train, before it’s too late.
56. What can we learn from the underlined sentence in paragraph two? A. Sleeper trains are the last means of transportation for travelers. B. Travelers tend to fall asleep toward the end of their trip. C. Travelers are too exhausted to walk any longer. D. Sleeper trains are becoming out of fashion.
57. After reading the book Night Trains, readers ________.
A. may enjoy the scenery on their journey from London to Scotland. B. can have the opportunity to travel on the best train in Europe. C. may have a basic understanding of the history of sleeper trains. D. cannot find a similar train living up to the standards of Mr. Martin. 58. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The noise of the train makes it impossible for travelers to sleep well. B. Readers may be discouraged from riding on sleeper trains.
C. The writer of the passages suggests not spending nights aboard.
D. For enthusiasts, the love for sleepers outweighs the inconvenience caused. 59. The author’s purpose of writing the passage is to ________. A. introduce readers to a new book about sleeper trains
B. compare the advantages of sleeper trains in different periods C. inform the readers of the rise and fall of sleeper trains
D. recall readers’ memory of an old-fashioned means of transportation
(B)
Bringing tech into the bedroom can be more harmful than helpful. Glancing at your phone before hitting the bed may be distracting and, more important, the blue light its screen emits is known to make falling asleep more difficult. But that’s not true for all gadgets. These smart-home devices want to invade your bedroom with the aim of improving your sleep.
Muse Headband, $249 Falling asleep can be more difficult than staying asleep. With its headband, Muse hopes to train the brain to handle stress more efficiently, making it easier to relax. The gadget uses sensors to measure brain activity and then feeds that data to an app that guides you through meditation exercises. A number of less expensive or free meditation apps attempt to do much of the same without the headband.

(C)
The next time a giant Big Mac or Coke flashes into your mind when you’re walking home from the pub, you may not simply have the snacks. And that picture of the model putting on Chanel — no, you’re not daydreaming.
A British startup has created a new advertising system that uses lasers to project images up to 200 metres tall from the sides of tall buildings, enabling advertisers to reach people from virtual billboards（广告牌）in the sky. Passers-by will see each image for only between one tenth and quarter of a second, as their eye eye catches the light from certain angles.
Advertising agencies and big businesses have already signalled their interest, but Skyline campaigners have branded the technology “greedy” and said that it could fill our skies with showy and tasteless brands.
The Echo system, from Lightvert, uses a high laser projector to bounce light off a narrow reflective strip fixed to the side of a building, visible up to 1km away. This creates large-scale images that are captured briefly in the viewer’s eye as a result of the “persistence of vision” effect: the same effect that leaves an imprint of a light source on your vision after you’ve turned away.
Daniel Siden, the technology’s inventor, explained: People often think this could be
subversive, but it’s not subliminal advertising（隐性广告）as the
imagery registers on the conscious level. It’s actually less invasive and more fun than traditional advertising. Mr.Siden said that planning experts have indicated that planning permission should not be a problem outside of conservation area. He said that the system was safe because of the distance between the projector and passers by. And images would be above the line of sight of drivers and cyclists and below the field of vision of airline pilot. The images have been tested and shown not to cause epileptic seizures（癫痫发作）.
Because it uses only one strip of reflected light, the system needs a small amount of the power, about one-twentieth of a standard 96-sheet digital outdoor display for an image of the same height.
The owners of high-rise properties could use the system to make large returns from installing the laser projector and reflective strip. The company puts the cost of a unit measuring 100 metres at under ￡750,000, based on the present design, anticipating that costs will drop.
Still, some Skyline campaigners dislike the technology and believe it delivers
subliminal advertising. Barbara Weiss of the Skyline Campaign, said: “It’s actually offensive. London’s latest tall buildings are not particularly well-built or well designed, but unfortunately people are forced to look at them. Adding stupid advertising that’s invasive in its nature will only make it worse.”
63. Why does the writer cite the example of Big Mac, Coke and Chanel in paragraph 1?
A. Because he attempts to promote these products to potential consumers. B. Because he studies the association between products and images in advertising. C. Because he tries to illustrate the effectiveness of flashing images of advertised goods.
D. Because he wants to introduce a new advertising technology to readers. . Which of the following statements about the Echo system is true according to the passage?
A. Pedestrians can see the flashing images on one side of the building from specific angles.
B. The system is composed of a laser projector, a reflective strip and a physical billboard.
C. The image lasts between one tenth and quarter of a second in vision even if you turn away.
D. It’s a new advertising system developed by a time-honored British company. 65. The underlined word “subversive” in paragraph 5 probably means ________. A. Subconscious B. trouble making C. harmless D. imaginative
66. Which party is likely to set obstacles to the application of the Echo System? A. Environmentalists worried about energy consumption. B. Drivers, cyclists and pilots whose sight might be affected. C. The Skyline Campaign regarding the image as flashy. D. The patients who suffer from epileptic seizures. Section C

sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A. There are a few relatively simple things a person can do to help improve their memory
B. Meanwhile , it has converted collective memory into an observable phenomenon that can be tracked and measured online
C. Recently developed information technologies particularly the Internet , have affected how we create , stored and recall information
D. Maurice Halbwachs is generally recognized as the father of collective memory research
E. In all cases , most of the research methods applied to memory studies rely on long procedures
F. Research on collective memory is often based on various aspects
The way individuals collectively remember , forget , and recall event , people , places , etc,has been an important topic of research on collective memory .67_______________He developed the concept of collective memory , arguing that individual memories are only understood within the context of a group through time and space .
68___________They include theoretical concepts , the study of historical sources , oral histories , case studies , interviews, and surveys . For example , one group of researchers carried out several interviews to investigate younger and older American adults for three wars , namely , the Civil War , World War II., and the Iraq War . Although Americans of different ages recalled similar events , the interpretation of some events changed over the generations : both younger and older adults recalled the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki , however , they differed in how they rated the bombings .
More recently , memory study scholars tend to stress the significance of the media in shaping collective memories : “ Culture and individuals memory are constantly produced through the technologies of memory .” Under this perspective,
research often involves content analysis of news and the use of surveys or interviews for analyzing the public memory . Alternatively , scholars have studied the role of journalists as collective memory agents by manually analyzing the stories journalists tell as professionals and the stories they tell about their profession.69.____________________

Ⅳ.Summary Writing
An Extension of the Human Brain
Other people can help us compensate for our mental and emotional deficiencies (欠缺)，much as a wooden leg can compensate for a physical deficiency . To be exact , other people can extend our intelligence and help us understand and adjust our emotions. When another person helps us in such ways , he or she is participating in what I’ve called a “ social prosthetic (义肢的) system.” Such systems do not need to operate face-to face , and it’s clear to me that the Internet is expanding the range of my own social prosthetic system . It’s already a big bank of many minds . Even in its current state , the Internet has extended my memory and judgment . Regarding memory : Once I look up something on the Internet , I don’t need to keep all the details for future use ------I know where to find that information again and can quickly and easily do particularly striking when I’m writing ; I ‘m no longer comfortable writing if I ‘m not connected to the Internet. It’s become natural to check facts as I write, taking a minute or two to dip into PubMed, Wikipedia , or other websites.
Regarding judgment: The Internet has made me smarter in matters small and large .
For example , when I ‘m writing a textbook , it has become second nature to check a dozen definitions of a key term , which helps me dig into the core and understand its meaning . But more than that , I now regularly compare my views with those of many others . If I have a “ new idea”, I now quickly look to see whether somebody else has already thought of it , or something similar-and I then compare what I think with what others have thought . This certainly makes my own views clearer . Moreover , I can find out whether my reactions to an event are reasonable enough by reading about those of others on the Internet .

Section B
Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages and one longer conversation, and you will be asked several questions on each of the passages and the conversation. The passages and the conversation will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
With Easter almost upon us, it’s a time for families to take a break from their
busy lives and spend some quality time with one another.
There’s no better way to do so than to head down to Lloyd Elsmore Park and experience the ‘Stations of the Cross’, hosted by Cession Community Trust. The event will be held over a three day period, from Friday until Sunday at the Depot and will host a range of unique exhibitions for the viewing pleasure of the public.
Preparations have been underway for the past nine months as various artists worked together on developing a theme for the exhibition and gallery designs.“The exhibition’s theme entitled ‘Staged’ will offer a range of artistic pieces from traditional to creative,” said exhibition manager DaNae Reynolds. “It will reflect on universal themes of the Easter story such as guilt, injustice and perhaps most importantly, hope.”
Artists of all ages will have their masterpieces shown off, and local resident Jewel Turinsky will be returning to host a workshop designed to further develop the painting abilities of the young artists.“I love working with teenagers in the artistic discovery process,” she said. “There is some real talent in the group and it will be an amazing experience for these young artists to have their art exhibited for the first time.”
The exhibition will also provide a cafe on-site for those wishing to hang around for a bite to eat and soak up the relaxed atmosphere. Starting at 5pm on April 14, a Good Friday service will be held in the exhibition space before the gallery’s official opening at 6pm.
The event concludes on Easter Sunday with an opportunity to meet the artists at 5pm, and promises to be an enjoyable and relaxing way to spend Easter this year. 11. What event does the speaker introduce?
12. What’s the theme of the exhibition in Lloyd Elsmore Park? 13. Why will a workshop be organized by the exhibition?
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
I’m very happy to be writing about our community’s new ferry platform at Half Moon Bay that opened last week with significant Government funding. On Friday, we were able to witness its official opening.
Ferries are a growing part of how locals in Botany, Howick and Pakuranga travel in to Auckland CBD,and it is important for services to match this growing demand. This significant upgrade for ferry passengers at the Half Moon Bay Ferry Terminal has been long in the making.
I have long been a supporter of better ferry options in Half Moon Bay and I am proud to see the $2.75 million Government transport grant has made this happen.
Our funding contribution makes the Government the single largest funding partner, through NZ Transport Agency. Without this funding the project may never have started.
I’d also like to thank Auckland Transport and Howick Local Board for their contributions towards the project.
This ferry platform has been designed with the strong-westerly prevailing winds in mind, to ensure that passengers enjoy more comfort and much less exposure to the strong winds. A ferry-bus center in the near future will also ensure commuters and other harbor users are separated, to improve passenger flows. This will make commuting to the CBD easier and faster with ferry and bus services at Half Moon Bay located in one area.
Increasing public transport usage is a vital part of our transport jigsaw for the future. That’s why our funding for public transport has grown by 55 percent since we have been in government. In the last financial year the Government put $200 million into public transport. Auckland’s local authorities funded $163 million.
Public transport usage in Auckland this year has now passed 87 million trips per year. This number needs to keep climbing though.The upgraded Half Moon Bay Ferry Terminal will provide better transport options for our community. I look forward to seeing it getting great use in the future.
14. What has contributed most to the project of the community’s new ferry platform? 15. Which of the following statements is true about the new ferry-bus center?
16. How much funding has been given to improve Public transport in the last financial year?
Questions 17 to 20 are based on the following conversation. M: Emma, what do you know about robots?
W: Robots？Not much. They talk in a funny way in the movies. But I’d like to have one to do the housework.Are you reading anything interesting about robots in that paper?
M: A study from Oxford University has suggested that 35% of existing UK jobs are being performed automatically in the next 20 years. W: That sounds not interesting at all. What does that mean?
M: I’ll read it to you. According to the professor, “Computers are increasingly able to learn to perform a much wider range of tasks than they’ve been able to do in the past. So as a result it’s not just manual labour that’s coming under threat. It’s increasingly mental labour － the labour of the mind.” W: So do you think intelligent machines could replace us?
M: Hard to say. Computers and machines are getting smarter. Office workers who do repetitive jobs could be replaced with software.
W: But surely jobs like being a doctor or a lawyer are safe, right?
M: Well, some white-collar jobs may be less safe than you think. At one city law firm junior staff have to read through contracts, assessing them for risks. But now an artificial intelligence programme can do that faster and better. W: Then are the lawyers still needed?
M: Of course. Lawyers have far better higher-value legal analysis to worry about. The professor thinks that there is work for the lawyers and the computers. In fact it sounds like a good division of labour － the computers do the boring stuff and the lawyers do the more interesting work!
W: That sounds not bad. If we have a robot do the boring stuff, I can do the more interesting work!
17. What is the man doing?
18. According to the conversation, how many of the UK jobs are being replaced in 2 decades?
19. According to the conversation, which is most unlikely to be replaced by intelligent machines?
20. What is the conversation mainly about?
