Section A
Directions: After reading the passages 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.
( A )
The BBC documentary Are Our Kids Tough Enough? recently became one of the top topics on social networks in both China and Britain, with many education specialists commenting and retweeting.
In the documentary, five Chinese teachers 25_____ (take) over a British classroom with 50 teenagers aged 13 and 14 in Bohunt School for one month, and taught them in a typical Chinese way: no talking, no questions, wearing a special uniform and experiencing the harsh classroom discipline within a long school-hour from 7am to 7pm.
In the documentary, most of the teens found it difficult 26_____ (adapt) to the Chinese-style education. Their teachers were not prepared for the differences between Chinese and British students as well. One of the teachers couldn’t help but 27_____ (complain) that the classroom was always “chaotic”.
Many Chinese netizens, especially the post-1980 netizens, said that the documentary reminded them of past school-days. Meanwhile, they criticized the British students’ lack 28 _____ respect for others after watching the documentary.
However, Zou Hailian, the math teacher in the program from Hangzhou Foreign Language School, said that the British students were all nice children. “Students look lax and absent-minded sometimes, but this is understandable. They have to stay at school for 12 hours each day, even longer than the school-time in Hangzhou Foreign Language School. They are not accustomed to 29_____ for sure,” he said.
Zou emphasized that Chinese students usually study harder and have a clearer goal, 30_____ (compare) with British students. But British students have a very good coping capacity 31 _____ _____ _____ hands-on skills.
Furthermore, Zou pointed out that China’s tough education system produces strong results in subjects like math and science, capturing the interest of educators in the U.S. and Europe 32_____ some feel the child-centered approach does not do enough to teach the basics.
Though Zou’s words were recognized by several education experts in China and Britain, there are several voices in defense of the British education system. “Student autonomy, questioning and the development of skills to allow students to think for themselves are the key elements in British teaching approaches. As teachers in the program take lessons from the experiment, no doubt the Chinese teachers will also learn from the U.K.’s approach to teaching,” one said.

(B)
Every year, millions of people all over the world die in hospital when their lives (33) _____ have been saved. Ordinary people like you can easily help change this situation. You can help save lives by becoming an organ donor after you pass away.
These days it is common for people to donate blood in order to save lives, so why not donate your organs? All you need to do is register and then you can live with the knowledge (34) _____ one day your organs could save a person’s life. Donating organs assures that (35) _____ (many) people can live longer, happier lives.
Organ transplants have been around for a long time. The first successful kidney transplant was performed in 1954. Today, these operations are conducted regularly. Indeed, right now there are people who are seriously ill that are waiting for such operations. Unfortunately, there are not enough organs for everyone in need, which is (36) _____ more organ donors are needed.
Transplants have (37)_____ high success rate in this day and age. The internal organs used in these situations include the heart, the lungs, the liver and the kidneys. Many patients with severe heart failure rely on the hope of a transplant, since they have no other option if medicines fail.
Only the organs of people who carry a donor card can be used to save lives. Without one, organs may go to waste. In 2008, a total of 882 heart and lung transplants alone were carried out in China – this is great work. However, it is estimated (38)_____ 1.5 million people throughout the country need some form of organ transplant. They need your help.
(39) _____ (donate) your organs will enable you to continue to help people even after you are gone. To get a donor card, first you have to register at your local hospital. Your details will be kept private, but it is still necessary for you to tell relatives of your decision so that they will know (40) _____ to expect if anything happens to you. Many people wish to help, but put off getting a donor card until it is too late
Death is always upsetting for friends and relatives. However, they may be comforted to know that their loss has given the gift of life to others.

A. jealous B. whisper C. alternatively D. comfort E. gaze F. ashamed
G. bare H. admired I. generously J. slightest K. remaining
Once upon a time, in a solar system that is so, so far away from here that you wouldn’t believe me if I told you, were two planets. Their names were Yee and Lan, and they loved each other very much. Every time they saw each other they would __41__ planet secrets, or share wisps(缕，股) of atmosphere, or tell silly jokes.
But they were a little sad, because it was so long between times when they got to be near each other. Most of the time they had to __42__ from afar.
Centuries went by, and one time as they passed, reaching out through the emptiness to be with one another, Yee slipped Lan a moon, because Yee had three and Lan had none. Lan looked so perfect with the new moon that all the other planets were a little __43__, and Yee didn’t mind giving up that moon at all.
So the planets kept on dancing and Lan’s moon was __44__ by all, until one day an evil-minded ice-hearted comet viciously slammed into it, shattering it into a thousand pieces. At that time, Yee was all the way on the other side of the sun and couldn’t hear the wails and shouts. All the nearby planets made fun of Lan. Lan was so __45__ of what had happened to the moon, so __46__ given by Yee, that Lan began to be afraid of their meeting.
After so long they were together again. Lan was almost afraid to look at Yee, but Yee reached out a wisp of atmosphere in __47__. Yee hesitated a minute, because all planets know how beautiful moons are, but then went ahead and smashed the two __48__ moons together so that Lan would have no reason to feel bad.
So around and around they went, so very much in love that they thought they would burst, even though they looked a little __49__, and felt a little cold without their lovely moons. But then something beautiful happened --- their bits of moon dust started to flatten out, and made two large circles, one for each of them. And before too long, the circles became rings, great wonderful rings, sparkling in the pure sunlight. The other planets were too awed(敬畏) by Yee and Lan’s new beauty to feel even the __50__ drop of jealousy.
And that is why, even on this planet, when two people have strong feelings for each other, so much love that they think they’ll burst, sometimes they’ll give each other rings, in memory of the planetary love of Yee and Lan.

III. Reading Comprehension
Section A （15分）
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.
While the full picture has yet to emerge, it appears that the reason for the loss of AirAsia flight QZ8501 is different from the losses of MH370 and MH17 earlier this year. MH17, shot down in Ukraine, was clearly a man-made disaster; QZ8501’s disappearance appears to be weather-related. MH370’s loss remains a mystery.
Even though cloud-computing(云计算) could help advance the status(状态) of the black box in terms of the investigation after such incidents, as we are only too aware, nature – in the form of bad weather – often plays a significant role in airline disasters. Is there anything we can do, on the ground, to lower the 51 of these weather-related incidents?
Recently, Microsoft Research illustrated that by combining real-time data from nearby flights, it is possible to 52 the wind speed to an accuracy 10 times better than the weather simulations(模拟) by supercomputers. Augmenting the data collected from real-time sensors from the cloud, one can create a better simulation, 53 the advances in the internet of flying things.
The internet of flying things refers to the technology that is ready for adoption by agencies on the ground that want to get a bird’s-eye view of weather conditions. The basic technology is already 54 for less than £500: equipping a drone(无人机) or unmanned airborne vehicle with a GoPro quality camera, enthusiastic fans can already survey the neighborhood from the air.
If we look at the air crash incidents caused by bad weather conditions, can the killer technology of cloud computing and augmented reality be used as a life saver?
When you fly into such wind speeds, is it not difficult to change one’s actions 55 ? Isn’t the flight simply doomed? Not necessarily. In this case, had nearby flying objects logged(记录) the abnormal wind speeds earlier, they would have been able to inform air traffic control in time to 56 a warning to flight QZ8501. In these situations, often timely interventions(干预) can save lives.
But before this idea can 57 be realized, there are at least three obstacles to overcome if we want to use the power of the internet of flying objects.
The first thing to note is that these flying objects shouldn’t be 58 to aircraft. We could be talking about weather balloons, drones – anything in the air, in short, but these objects need to be identifiable. Only through 59 can messages from these flying objects be recognized and trusted by authorities such as FAA. So, for example, the drones that – it is imagined – will be carrying goods to households must be 60 and their call signs logged by the authorities before they can be of any practical help. At present they are not. In other words, the autonomous(非政府的) flying objects are required to collaborate with air traffic controllers if we want to build a picture that will deliver a secure and trustworthy solution.
61 , these regulated and registered flying objects need to be effectively networked, so that – through the 62 of real-time data – the crowd-sourced(基于大众资源的) information delivers as accurate a picture as poss
