II. Grammar and Vocabulary

Section A

Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically

correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other

blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.

Three Thing I Learned While My Plane Crashed

On January 15, 2009, US Airways flight 1549 crash-landed on the Hudson River in New York City. Several

large geese had flown into its engines and caused both of them ____1____ (fail). Due to a combination of pilot skill

and pure luck, everyone on the plane ____2____ (survive) the accident.

Although it is an experience that he hopes no one else has to have, passenger Rick Elias learned a lot that day.

He says that three important lessons came out of that terrifying moment. The first is in a life-or-death situation,

“Everything changes in an instant.” He realized that it was important to do ____3____ that he wanted to do without

postponing them. ____4____ it is fixing a friendship that has problems or going on an adventurous vacation, Elias

says we shouldn’t wait.

As the plane went down, the second lesson Elias learned was that it was important to have negative energy

____5____ (eliminate) from his life. He saw that he had spent too much time winning arguments and feeling

important. Now, he says, “I no longer try to be right; I choose to be happy.”

The final important lesson Elias learned was that although it wasn’t frightening to look death in the eye, it was

sad. He realized ____6____ he really wanted was to see his children grow up. He understood that “the only thing

____7____ matters in my life is being a great dad.” He encourages other parents to be the best mothers and fathers

they can be, ____8____ anything else.

Since then, Elias has lived those lessons. Even though he is the CEO of a growing company, he has also taken

time to do good works. In 2012, he contributes $1 million toward the founding of Golden Door Scholars,

____9____ (provide) scholarships for immigrant students who want to attend university.

As Elias remembers that cold winter’s day in 2009, he knows “I _____10_____ (give) a gift, which was to be

able to see into the future and come back and live differently.” If you could look into your own future, what would

you change now?

Section B

Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that

there is one word more than you need.

A. connected B. estimates C. free D. ideally E. lasting F. promoted

G. restrictive H. scenes I. sense J. understood K. questionably

Home schooling is hard even for the best of us

Many parents have toyed with home schooling. The idea is associated with images of children and parents

sitting at the kitchen table, solving the mysteries of maths, science and languages ____11____ of traditional

education.

This week, parents have encountered a harder reality — not home schooling in the usual ____12____, but

enforced schooling-for-home. Kitchen tables piled with books and bowls; frustrated parents trying to remember

how to do improper fractions (可约分数) while taking part in a video conference with work colleagues; fights over

laptops as children insist they need to log on to online lessons — such ____13____ will have been repeated in

households across the world.

Home learning, as more usually ____14____, is not a new idea. The modern home-school movement emerged

in the 1970s, ____15____ by the bikes of John Holt, an American teacher and education writer. He advised parents

to fit the curriculum to the child’s interests, not the other way around. The most recent ____16____ suggest that

close to 60,000 children are home schooled in England, for reasons including mental health issues and special

educational needs. Some parents have given up on what they see as a(n) ____17____ “one-size fits all” education

system. Educationalists, including Britain’s Sir Ken Robinson, have complained that schools’ need to follow strict

curriculums can harm children’s natural creativity.

For parents in today’s health crisis, technology is proving a lifeline. School by Google Hangouts, Microsoft

Teams or Zoom has been hugely popular to keep children focused as well as ____18____ as class. For younger

children, various British celebrities (名流) are offering their services to help with lessons in maths, English as well

as history.

How best to make it work? Experts say children need a clear structure. They should rise, breakfast and work

according to a clear timetable in line with normal schooling, ____19____ studying in a place without distractions.

Make the most of “live” online classes, and additional work and resources, that schools are offering. Allow time for

physical exercise, and family time - and arguably less homework after studying finishes. Above all, parents should

take a deep breath and keep calm. One _____20_____ lesson many home workers-cum-home schoolers will draw

from today’s crisis is this: teachers will never again have to prove that they are worth it.

III. Reading Comprehensions

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.

During my first improv (即兴表演) class, I learned a core concept of improv: “yes, and.” It means that, as

improvisers, we accept what fellow performers say. If someone says that zebras are librarians, for example, then

zebras are librarians. We do not ____21____ the logic. we say “yes” and continue with the scene as if nothing is

wrong.

To do this ____22____, our teacher warned us that we’d have to avoid second-guessing ourselves. Sometimes

scenes go in unexpected directions. The best improv____23____ when performers stay open to different

possibilities and say whatever pops into their minds.

I got a taste of how ____24____ that is when acting out my first scene. My classmate turned to me and said,

“Mom is going to be so mad.” Mad about what? My mind spun out ideas, and my inner critic shot them all down.

We broke the car? No, that’s too easy. We failed a test? No, you don’t want your classmates thinking you’re stupid

on the first day. I finally ____25____ an answer: “Yes, we’re going to be late for dinner.” The scene proceeded

from there, and we eventually finished as two sisters who lost their way on a hiking trip.

The first few scenes were hard, but as weeks turned into months, I became more comfortable thinking on my

feet. I never ____26____ my inner critic entirely, but over time, I didn’t police my words with quite so much vigor.

I also became better at ____27____, relating to my conversation partners, and communicating clearly in the

moment.

The training came in handy 6 months ago, when I was giving a seminar (研讨课) about my science. An

audience member surprised me with a question that didn’t ____28____ the information I’d presented. Instead of

getting annoyed, I ____29____ the “yes, and” approach — accepting the question at face value and letting my mind

focus on why it was asked. That helped me find an appropriate answer.

The benefits of improv go beyond _____30_____. Early on in graduation school, I would get stuck when I got

unexpected data in my experiments; my inner critic would assume I had made a mistake. But now, after accepting

the “yes, and” concept, I no longer go into an experiment thinking that I already _____31_____ the story my data

are going to tell.

Last year, I used that approach after encountering confusing data. Instead of getting _____32_____, I kept

exploring the data and ended up identifying a new type of cell. If I hadn’t stayed open to the possibility that the

results were _____33_____, I would have missed out on the most exciting finding of my PhD. so far.

All scientists can benefit from this lesson. If the data say zebras are librarians, then it’s worth investigating

whether zebras are, _____34_____, librarians. Our job as scientists isn’t to get data that _____35_____ a pre-

understood story. Our job is to say “yes, and”.

21. A. provide B. follow C. question D. ignore
