Section B
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)
Called “the man who shaped America”and“the father of modern influential design”，Raymond Loewy must be one of the most influential designers of all time.Her revolutionized the industry, working as an adviser for more than 200 companies and creating designs for everything from packaging to refrigerators，from cars to the interiors of spaceships.
Loewy′s designs all had one thing in common.They were shaped by the MAYA principle —Most Advanced Yet Acceptable.His idea was that people will not accept solutions to design problems if the solutions are too different from current designs.
After a short period as a fashion illustrator , Loewy started his career in industrial design in 1929 by re−designing a copying machine for the British manufacturer，Sigmund Gestetner .The 28−year−old designer completed the task in three days and the design of the machine lasted for the next 40 years .
The Gestetner duplicator was the beginning of many designs which used streamlining(流线型).He described this as“beauty through function and simplification”.He spent the next 50 years streamlining everything from postage stamps and company logos(商标to the interiors of stores .The famous Greyhound bus and Studebaker car show his use of streamlining in action.
He is perhaps most famous for his re−design of the Lucky Strike packaging.In 1940，the President of the Lucky Strike Manufacturing Company，George Washington Hill，bet Loewy $50000 that he could not improve the appearance of the green and red Lucky Strike packets. Loewy accepted the challenge .He changed the background of the packet from green to white .Then he put the red lucky strike target on both sides of the packet.This made it more eye−catching and greatly increased sales .It is now recognized as a design classic .
Loewy′s logo design aimed at“visual retention”.He wanted to make sure that anyone who saw the logo，even for a short white，would never forget it. He designed many highly visible logos for famous companies such as ShellOil，Exxon，Greyhound and Nabisco.
By the mid-20th century his industrial design firm was so famous that he could say“the average person，leading a normal life…is bound to be in daily contact with some of the things，services or structures” designed by his firm .
Which of the following was a feature of Loewy’s designs?
They were sold at an acceptable price.
They had something to do with existing ones.
They were something that customers didn’t expect.
They could be updated with the advancement of technology.
What did Loewy do to Lucky Strike packets?
He gave up red using red on them.
He turned its symbol into green.
He applied streamlining to them.
He changed their background color.
The word ”retention” (in paragraph 6)most probably means
reputation
Preference
Forgetting
Holding
What can be concluded from the passage?
Lowey’s designs were everywhere to be seen
Lowey didn’t become well-known as a designer until the 1940s
Lowey’s idea of streamlining came from the Gestetner duplicator.
Lowey was more favoured by modern industries than traditional ones.

Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
At the age of 11 students move to a secondary school.
The education system in Wales, Northern Ireland, and England are similar, while the education system in Scotland differs in a number of ways.
Before leaving secondary school, students face the first choice they need to make.
Wherever the study, students specialize in three or four subjects, and three are further exams at the age of 17(AS Levels) and again at 18(A Levels).
Students can choose whatever subjects they are interested in.
The core, or main subjects, are English, mathematics, and science.
By law in the UK, all children between 5 and 16 year old of age must receive a full time education. The vast majority, over 90%, of these children attend state schools. 1 The school year runs from September to July and is usually divided into three terms of approximately 13 weeks each. Students attend schools from about 9.00am to 3.30Pm, Monday to Friday, with a morning break and a break for lunch. Some students eat lunch in the school cafeteria, but many bring food from home.
Most children in England go to primary school from the age of 5 to 11. These schools are largely co-educational, that is, boys and girls attend together. All schools follow the National Curriculum. 2 Other subjects include history,geography, physical education, music and art. In wales, the Welsh language is a subject in Welsh-speaking schools. In the same way,in Northern Ireland, the curriculum includes the Irish-speaking schools.
3 Most students go to large comprehensive schools which teach children of varying abilities. At the age of 16, most students take exams (GCSEs) in about ten different subjects. At this point, just under 50% leave school and start other training or work.
Students who remain in education can choose to continue at school for up to two years, or go to a special college. 4 God results in these are required to go to university.
