Jim Thompson Jim Thompsons life story is one of success, achievement, and finally mystery because no one knows how it ended. Thompson was born in Delaware(21)_ the east coast of the United States in 1906. After finishing high school, Thompson went to Princeton University and later studied architecture at the University of Pennsylvania. After graduation, Jim Thompson worked as an architect in New York City until 1940. Not long after this, he volunteered(22)_ (serve)in the U.S. Army. During World War II, Thompson gathered intelligence for the army in Thailand. It was this first taste of life in the Far East(23)_ changed Thompsons life. He saw opportunities to develop tourism there, becoming(24)_ (involve)in an ambitious scheme to restore the Oriental Hotel. While the hotel plan fell through, by that time Thompson had hit upon another scheme that would eventually make him a millionaire. While traveling around Thailand, he came across(25)_ he considered exquisite(精美的)samples of handwoven Thai silk, a product that(26)_(become)rare. He persuaded the weavers to work with him and marketed the silk in New York, (27)_ it became very popular. As a consequence, the Thai silk industry was revived(复兴)and the business made Thompson and some of the weavers very wealthy.''With his success in the silk business, Jim Thompson continued his original interest in architecture on the side. He found six traditional Thai houses and had(28)_ brought to Bangkok and reassembled there as one magnificent house. Today, not only is it a beautiful house inside and out, (29)_ it is also filled with the works of art Thompson collected. In 1967 during a holiday in Malaysia, he went for a walk in the Jungle and disappeared forever. To this day, no clues(30)_(find)as to what happened to this wealthy American businessman who is credited with single-handedly reviving the Thai silk industry.Section B10% Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. concern B. dramatic C. equivalent D. frequently E. impact F. imposed G. representative H. observed I. residents J. significantly K. strategiesMentally and Intellectually HarmfulLast month, the Indian Medical Association declared a public health emergency in New Delhi because of high levels of air pollution. Schools were shut and emergency traffic restrictions put in place. New Delhi is far from alone. Our research into the_31_ of air pollution in China shows that, in addition to the more obvious physical price, air pollution can also have serious negative effects on mental health and cognition (认知),_ 32_ reducing a persons happiness and their scores in verbal and mathematical tests. Such harmful mental effects have serious negative consequences for livelihoods and human capital development, suggesting that development_33_ should go beyond the traditional focus of boosting GDP in the developing world. India's recent pollution emergency is the most_34_ incidence(发生率)of dangerous air pollution, but smoggy skies have been a cause of growing_35_ in most developing countries. Major cities across the developing world-from Thailand to Brazil, to Nigeria-_36_ experience pollution at several times the WHO safe limits. In fact, 98% of cities with more than 100.000_37_ in low and middle-income countries fail to meet the WHOs air quality guidelines. Indias extreme levels of air pollution are well recognized, and examining the effects provides clear warnings for other countries seeking fast growth through rapid industrialization. We used nationally _38_ longitudinal (纵向)surveys on mental health and cognition, matched with daily air quality data for the time and place of interviews, to see what pollution does in a given time to individual happiness and cognitive performance. Because each person in our survey was _39_multiple times, we can control for the effect of individual characteristics on the outcome variables. We found that worsening air quality led to a decrease in happiness that day_40_to about 10 percent of the reduced happiness one would experience form a negative major life event such as divorce.III. Reading Comprehension Section A15% 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. Globalization: Good or Bad? Globalization is defined in many ways .One simple _41_is that it is the rapid increase in inte rnational free trade, investment, and technological exchange. It is argued that this international trade has been one of the main causes of world economic _42_over the past half century. Although there is little doubt that the global economy has developed enormously in the last 50 years, some people believe that this trend has only benefited certain countries, and that others have suffered as a result. Improved income? An argument_43_globalization is that the benefits of increased international trade are shared among everyone in the country. An example of this is China, where per capita income(人 均收入)rose from about $1400 in 1980 to over $4000 by 2000._44_per capita income rose by over 100% in India between 1980 and 1996. It would appear that countries which open their doors to world trade tend to become_45_ . However, these sorts of_46_might not be giving a true picture. They are “average”, and despite the fact that there has been a substantial increase I n income for a small minority of people, the vast majority have only seen a_47_improvement. More imports, more exports Supporters of free trade point out that there is another direct benefit to be gained from an increase in international trade: exports_48_imports. Take coffee as an example. Countries which produce and export coffee import the packaging for it: a(n) _49_ trade which enables commerce to develop in two countries at the same time._50_ maintain that, in general, it is poorer countries that produce and export food such as coffee, and richer countries that produce and export manufactured goods such as packaging materials. Furthermore, it is the richer countries that control the price of good and, _51_, farmers may be forced to sell their produce at a low price and to buy manufactured goods at a high price. _52_development Finally, globalization often_53_ a country to concentrate on industries which are already successful. These countries develop expertise(专门技能)and increase their share in the international market. On the other hand, those countries which_54_ to support all their industries usually do not develop expertise in any one. Consequently, these countries do not find a world market for their goods and do not increase their gross domestic product(GDP). Anti-globalists claim that there is a serious problem in this argument for the _55_ of industry. Countries which only concentrate on one or two main industries are forced to import other goods. These imported good are frequently overpriced, and these countries, therefore, have a tendency to accumulate huge debts.41. A. indication B. principle C. definition D. factor 42.

The Harlem Renaissance took place during the 1920s. It was a time when the African American artistic community grew and flourished, producing a ton of work in a short period of time. The work celebrated African American culture and spoke to their experiences as minorities-both the good parts and the bad parts. After the Civil War, many African Americans left the South to escape unfair treatment and laws that discriminated against them. Between 1910 and 1920, massive numbers of black Southerners moved from the rural south into the urban North and West in the Great Migration. The African American population of Chicago more than doubled during that time! And in New York, African Americans flocked to uptown Manhattan, setting in a neighborhood called Harem. Forming a community within the big city let African Americans keep their cultural identity in a white- dominated society. It was a good thing, and a lot of important cultural issues were brought to light during the Harlem Renaissance. One of the most important figures of the time was the African American writer, W. E.B Du Bois. In his book, The Souls of Back Folk, in 1903, Du Bois wrote that African Americans suffered from something called “double consciousness”. They had their own self-image while they saw themselves through the eyes of white Americans. And performers like Josephine Baker and Paul Robeson brought African American culture to all New Yorkers. The Renaissance was so influential that “Harlem” grew into something of a brand name African Americans were pushing boundaries across all aspects of society. Black businesses began to flourish, creating a growing middle class, like Madame C.J. Walker, who tuned her cosmetics line into a million dollar empire. All together, the artists, and thinkers of this period helped mobilize the larger black population. Young African-Americans took advantage of improved access to higher education. This opened up new career paths and opportunities to attain advanced degrees. Perhaps most importantly, people-black and white-began the push for racial integration, pl
