单选 基本是外刊（如经济学人）摘下来的句子，只记住一些词如sanguine，infantry, infantile, infant,20道题有一定难度。 改错 难度和去年持平，比较简单。 阅读理解 PassageA （材料是高中英语阅读理解，题目是老师编的） Liverpool city council want to clear the city of fat pigeons. They say that people are feeding the birds, which makes them fat. The pigeons get bigger because they normally eat seeds and insects for their main food, not high-fat junk food they are eating in the city centre. The council want people to know that everyone who feeds the pigeons makes the streets crowded with these birds. They hope to encourage the birds to move away from the city centre and into parks and open spaces. Ten robotic birds have been brought into the city centre to scare the pigeons away and visitors are asked not to give the pigeons any food. The mechanical birds—known as ‘robops’—will sit on the roofs of buildings. They can be moved around to different places. They look like a peregrine falcon, which is a bird that kills pigeons. They even make noises and flap their wings to scare the pigeons. They hope that the pigeons will go away before the city becomes the European Capital of Culture in two years. 本题原题最后一道和考试有关，现摘取供大家参考 Which of the following is probably true according to passage?

English proficiency is at a premium as the balance of power between China and English-speaking countries such as the UK and US shifts and Beijing seeks to carve out a more powerful leadership role on the world stage. On last month’s state visit to the UK, first lady Peng Liyuan impressed with her fluent English — although her husband, Xi Jinping, depended upon translators. Despite this, some regional governments in China have recently opted to cut the time spent teaching and testing English in Chinese public high schools, lowering the weighting of English in the national university entrance exam, the gaokao. The study, due for public release on Tuesday, shows China fell 10 places to 47th in a ranking of 70 countries compiled by EF Education First, which based its rankings on test data from more than 900,000 adults sitting online tests. EF said most of the countries that moved ahead of China this year were from Latin America. “These Latin American countries have kicked off ambitious national initiatives focused on English-language training, including Brazil’s English Without Borders programme and Mexico’s Project 100,000,” EF said in a statement. “The Chinese government, on the other hand, has questioned how much emphasis should be placed on English training in the public education system.” The education group said China had initially scaled the top ranks by devoting plenty of class time to English instruction, whereas continued improvement would require “more sophisticated approaches focused on communicative mastery rather than testing abilities”. But some would-be students are also querying the value of studying overseas, hitherto a popular choice. Employees bearing postgraduate degrees from overseas command similar salaries to their peers who stayed home, according to Jennifer Feng, chief human resources expert at 51job, the leading Chinese employment agency. That may explain the slowdown in growth of the number of Chinese enrolled in US higher education. Last year the expansion in their numbers was the slowest in seven years, according to the Institute of International Education and the US state department. China remains the biggest country of origin for international students at US universities. The US Council of Graduate Schools said late last year that the number of Chinese first-time enrolments at postgraduate level had fallen for the first time in at least a decade. 1. which developing country moved ahead of China on the list?

(老师自己编的，答案就是原文的题目) China cedes ground to Brazil in English proficiency rankings Passage C 没找到，但是不难。 Passage D （FT双语阅读原文，划线的句子为需要填写的） Uber is focusing more funds and firepower on beating local competition in China, with the tax-booking app confirming it has raised $1.2bn in a round that included investment from Chinese search engine Baidu. The San Francisco start-up, which has been valued at $50bn, raised the additional funding for Uber China shortly after it was reported that local rival Didi Kuaidi had raked in $3bn in a recent cash call. The fundraising gives Uber China, which is a separate company, a $7bn pre-money valuation, according to a person familiar with the matter. The round has not closed and could raise hundreds of millions more dollars. Uber confirmed the investment, first reported in an interview with Travis Kalanick, chief executive, on Chinese website Sina. Mr Kalanick did not disclose the other investors in the round. Uber has dominated the taxi-booking app market in hundreds of cities globally and is expanding beyond ferrying people into also delivering packages. But it has not yet won the battle for the Chinese market, where many US internet companies, including Google and Amazon, have stumbled. Didi Kuaidi, formed from a merger between Didi Dauche and Kuaidi Dauche this year, raised $2bn at a valuation of about $15bn in July. But the round has not closed and may increase. It is hard to tell exactly how the Chinese market is divided. Uber says it has about 50 per cent of the taxi-booking market, but Didi Kuaidi says it has 80 per cent. Both sides are using their large fundraisings to lure more users by subsidising trips, with Uber saying it will spend $1bn in China this year. Uber had suggested that Uber China could eventually be spun off with its own initial public offering in the country. Mr Kalanick said the San Francisco-based start-up could take investment from a Chinese “national brand”. 写作 写一篇中国与格鲁吉亚建立自由贸易区的可行性报告，折线柱状图加一个有许多数据的表格，300字。由于表格增加了，字数比较好凑，但是不容易分析、叙述。
