George Herbert Mead said that humans are talked into humanity. He meant thatwe gain personal identity as we communicate with others. In the earliest years of ourlives, our parents tell us who we are. “You’re 26 .” “You’re so strong.” We firstsee ourselves through the eyes of others, so their messages form important 27 ofour self-concepts. Later we interact with teachers, friends, 28 partners, andco-workers who communicate their views of us. Thus, how we see ourselves reflectsthe views of us that others communicate. The 29 connection between identity and communication is dramaticallyevident in children who 30 human contact. Case studies of children who wereisolated from others reveal that they lack a firm self-concept, and their mental andpsychological development is severely hindered by lack of language.

Consistently, research shows thatcommunicating with others promotes health, whereas social isolation 32 stress,disease, and early death.

A group of researchers reviewed33 studies that traced the relationship between health and interaction with others.The conclusion was that social isolation is 34 as dangerous as high bloodpressure, smoking and obesity. Many doctors and researchers believe that lonelinessharms the immune system, making us more 35 to a range of minor and majorillnesses.

Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)

Section A

Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required toselect one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bankfollowing the passage. Read the passage through carefully before makingyour choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Pleasemark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 witha single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in thebank more than once.

Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage.

To understand why we should be concerned about how young people read, ithelps to know something about the way the ability to read evolved. Unlike the abilityto understand and produce spoken language, the ability to read must be painstakingly36 by each inpidual. The “reading circuits” we construct in the brain can be37 or they can be robust, depending on how often and how 38 we use them.

The deep reader enters a state of hypnotic trance (心醉神迷的状态). Whenreaders are enjoying the experience the most, the pace of their reading 39 slows.

The combination of fast, fluent decoding of words and slow, unhurried progress onthe page gives deep readers time to enrich their reading with reflection and analysis. Itgives them time to establish an 40 relationship with the author, the two of them41 in a long and warm conversation like people falling in love.

This is not reading as many young people know it. Their reading is instrumental:the difference between what literary critic Frank Kermode calls “carnal (肉体的)reading” and “spiritual reading.” If we allow our offspring to believe carnal reading isall there is — if we don’t open the door to spiritual reading, through an early 42on discipline and practice — we will have 43 them of an enjoyable experiencethey would not otherwise encounter. Observing young people’s 44 to digital devices, some progressive educators talk about “meeting kids where they are,”molding instruction around their onscreen habits. This is mistaken. We need,45 , to show them someplace they’ve never been, a place only deep reading cantake them.

attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the

paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is

derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph

is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the

corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.

The world has never seen population ageing before. Can it cope?

[A] Until the early 1990s nobody much thought about whole populations getting older.The UN had the foresight to convene a “world assembly on ageing” back in 1982,but that came and went. By 1994 the World Bank had noticed that something bigwas happening. In a report entitled “Averting the Old Age Crisis”, it argued thatpension arrangements in most countries were unsustainable.

[B] For the next ten years a succession of books, mainly by Americans, sounded thealarm. They had titles like Young vs Old, Gray Dawn and The ComingGenerational Storm, and their message was blunt: health-care systems wereheading for the rocks, pensioners were taking young people to the cleaners, andsoon there would be intergenerational warfare.

[C] Since then the debate has become less emotional, not least because a lot more isknown about the subject. Books, conferences and research papers have multiplied.

International organisations such as the OECD and the EU issue regular reports.Population ageing is on every agenda, from G8 economic conferences to NATOsummits. The World Economic Forum plans to consider the future of pensionsand health care at its prestigious Davos conference early next year. The media,

including this newspaper, are giving the subject extensive coverage.

[D] Whether all that attention has translated into sufficient action is another question.

Governments in rich countries now accept that their pension and health-carepromises will soon become unaffordable, and many of them have embarked onreforms, but so far only timidly. That is not surprising: politicians with an eye onthe next election will hardly rush to introduce unpopular measures that may notbear fruit for years, perhaps decades.

[E] The outline of the changes needed is clear. To avoid fiscal (财政的) meltdown,public pensions and health-care provision will have to be reined back severely andtaxes may have to go up. By far the most effective method to restrain pensionspending is to give people the opportunity to work longer, because it increases taxrevenues and reduces spending on pensions at the same time. It may even keepthem alive longer. John Rother, the AARP’s head of policy and strategy, points tostudies showing that other things being equal, people who remain at work havelower death rates than their retired peers.

[F] Younger people today mostly accept that they will have to work for longer andthat their pensions will be less generous. Employers still need to be persuaded thatolder workers are worth holding on to. That may be because they have had plentyof younger ones to choose from, partly thanks to the post-war baby-boom andpartly because over the past few decades many more women have entered thelabour force, increasing employers’ choice. But the reservoir of women able andwilling to take up paid work is running low, and the baby-boomers are going grey.

[G] In many countries immigrants have been filling such gaps in the labour force ashave already emerged (and remember that the real shortage is still around tenyears off). Immigration in the developed world is the highest it has ever been, andit is making a useful difference. In still-fertile America it currently accounts forabout 40% of total population growth, and in fast-ageing western Europe for

about 90%.

[H] On the face of it, it seems the perfect solution. Many developing countries havelots of young people in need of jobs; many rich countries need helping hands thatwill boost tax revenues and keep up economic growth. But over the next fewdecades labour forces in rich countries are set to shrink so much that inflows ofimmigrants would have to increase enormously to compensate: to at least twicetheir current size in western Europe’s most youthful countries, and three times inthe older ones. Japan would need a large multiple of the few immigrants it has atpresent. Public opinion polls show that people in most rich countries already thinkthat immigration is too high. Further big increases would be politically unfeasible.

[I] To tackle the problem of ageing populations at its root, “old” countries wouldhave to rejuvenate (使年轻) themselves by having more of their own children. Anumber of them have tried, some more successfully than others. But it is not asimple matter of offering financial incentives or providing more child care.

Modern urban life in rich countries is not well adapted to large families. Womenfind it hard to combine family and career. They often compromise by having justone child. [J] And if fertility in ageing countries does not pick up? It will not be the end of theworld, at least not for quite a while yet, but the world will slowly become adifferent place. Older societies may be less innovative and more stronglydisinclined to take risks than younger ones. By 2025 at the latest, about half thevoters in America and most of those in western European countries will be over50—and older people turn out to vote in much greater numbers than younger ones.Academic studies have found no evidence so far that older voters have used theirpower at the ballot box to push for policies that specifically benefit them, thoughif in future there are many more of them they might start doing so.

[K] Nor is there any sign of the intergenerational warfare predicted in the 1990s. After

all, older people themselves mostly have families. In a recent study of parents and

grown-up children in 11 European countries, Karsten Hank of Mannheim

University found that 85% of them lived within 25km of each other and the

majority of them were in touch at least once a week.

[L] Even so, the shift in the centre of gravity to older age groups is bound to have a

profound effect on societies, not just economically and politically but in all sorts

of other ways too. Richard Jackson and Neil Howe of America’s CSIS, in a

thoughtful book called The Graying of the Great Powers, argue that, among other

things, the ageing of the developed countries will have a number of serious

security implications.

[M] For example, the shortage of young adults is likely to make countries more

reluctant to commit the few they have to military service. In the decades to 2050,

America will find itself playing an ever-increasing role in the developed world’s

defence effort. Because America’s population will still be growing when that of

most other developed countries is shrinking, America will be the only developed

country that still matters geopolitically (地缘政治上).

Ask me in 2020

[N] There is little that can be done to stop population ageing, so the world will have to

live with it. But some of the consequences can be alleviated. Many experts now

believe that given the right policies, the effects, though grave, need not be

catastrophic. Most countries have recognised the need to do something and are

beginning to act.

[O] But even then there is no guarantee that their efforts will work. What is happening

now is historically unprecedented. Ronald Lee, director of the Centre on the

Economics and Demography of Ageing at the University of California, Berkeley,

puts it briefly and clearly: “We don’t really know what population ageing will be

like, because nobody has done it yet.”

For most of the 20th century, Asia asked itself wh

ly indebted and sluggish (经济滞长的) nations learn from a flourishing Asia?

Just a few decades ago, Asia’s two giants were stagnating (停滞不前) under

faulty economic ideologies. However, once China began embracing free-mark

rms in the 1980s, followed by India in the 1990s, both countries achieved rapid

growth. Crucially, as they opened up their markets, they balanced market economy

with sensible government direction. As the Indian economist Amartya Sen has wisely

said, “The invisible hand of the market has often relied heavily on the visible hand of

government.” Contrast this middle path with America and Europe, which have each gone

ideologically overboard in their own ways. Since the 1980s, America has been
