【参考范文】
Whether to Attend a Vocational College or a University?
It’s an undisputable truth that virtually all high school graduates will encounter the choices between a vocational college and a university. And when it comes to this question, students’ ideas are not cut from the same cloth. In point of which to choose and what to be taken into consideration, my advices are as follow.
In the first place, we should be conscious of the fact that both of the two choices have its own superiorities. For instance, a vocational college specializes in cultivating human resources with practical capabilities; while a university serves as the cradle of academic researchers in different fields. Then it does follow that high school graduates should have a clear picture of themselves. That is to say, they should know their merits and demerits and their choices must give play to their strengths whilst circumvent weaknesses. In addition, interest is the best teacher and it’s also the premise of learning on one’s own initiative. Thus interest must be taken into account because it can not only decide how far one can reach academically and professionally but also how happy and fulfilled one will be.
In brief, all above just goes to show that there really is no one-size-fits-all answer for the question. The key lies in a clear cognition, accurate self-positioning and the interest of oneself. Only then can every one find a right path that works best for us.

Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)
Section A
Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.
Let’s all stop judging people who talk to themselves. New research says that those who can’t seem to keep their inner monologues(独白) in are actually more likely to stay on task, remain __26__ better and show improved perception capabilities. Not bad, really, for some extra muttering.
According to a series of experiments published in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology by professors Gary Lupyan and Daniel Swignley, the act of using verbal clues to __27__ mental pictures helps people function quicker.
In one experiment, they showed pictures of various objects to twenty __28__ and asked them to find just one of those, a banana. Half were __29__ to repeat out loud what they were looking for and the other half kept their lips __30__. Those who talked to themselves found the banana slightly faster than those who didn’t，the researchers say. In other experiments, Lupyan and Swignley found that __31__ the name of a common product when on the hunt for it helped quicken someone’s pace, but talking about uncommon items showed no advantage and slowed you down.
Common research has long held that talking themselves through a task helps children learn, although doing so when you’ve __32__ matured is not a great sign of __33__. The two professors hope to refute that idea, __34__ that just as when kids walk themselves through a process, adults can benefit from using language not just to communicate, but also to help “augment thinking”.
Of course, you are still encouraged to keep the talking at library tones and, whatever you do, keep the information you share simple, like a grocery list. At any __35__, there’s still such a thing as too much information.
26. 【解析】F。空格前的remain为系动词，因此空格处需要填入一个形容词；根据前面的句意“……更有可能坚持做一件事”，可知focused最为符合，表示“保持全神贯注”，因此本题选F。
27. 【解析】L。根据空格前的to可判断空格处应填入动词原形，根据句意，“使用口头提示来记忆图像”，可知选项L符合。
28. 【解析】0。空格前是量词twenty，因此空格处需填入一个名词复数；再由前边的“In one experiment”可知这是一个实验，因此这里选择volunteers （志愿者）最为合适，故本题选0。
29. 【解析】H。空格前后分别为be动词were和介词to，因此空格处需要填入一个动词的被动语态；根据句意，“一半人被_____要大声地重复她们要找的东西，”可知instructed （通知，指导）最为合适，因此本题答案选H。
30. 【解析】J。根据句子结构可判断空格处需要填入一个形容词。再由the other half对应的是前边的Half， 可知这里的情况和前边的不同，前边说repeat out loud （大声地重复），后边自然就是要表示“不说话” 的意思，keep one’s lips sealed即“闭上嘴巴、不说话”的意思，故本题选J。
31. 【解析】M。空格前的that引导的是宾语从句，空格与后面的名词词组the name of a common product共同充当宾语从句的主语，因此空格处应填入动词的-ing形式，根据句意可判断uttering更为合适，故本题选M。
32. 【解析】A。空格所在句是一个现在完成时态，空格前后组成谓语动词have matured，因此空格处实际上并不缺成分，只可能填入一个副词来修饰动词matured，根据单词意思，这里应选apparently。
33. 【解析】C。根据空格前边的a great sign of可知，空格处缺少一个名词；再根据句意，“当你足够成熟时，自言自语并不能显示出你的_____”，可知这里填入brilliance更为合适。故本题选C。
34. 【解析】 D。空格前边是一句完整的话，空格后是that从句，由此判断空格处 填入动词的-ing形式，作为前边句子的伴随状语，并引导后面的宾语从句；分析选项，动词的-ing 形式只剩下claiming这一个词，故本题选D。
35. 【解析】N。空格处需要填入一个名词，与前边的At any构成介词词组；结合整篇文章的大意，此处填入volume最为合适，故本题选N。
Section B
Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs.
