Part A

Text 1
How can the train operators possibly justify yet another increase to rail passenger fares?It has become a grimly reliable annual ritual:every January the cost of travelling by train rises,imposing a significant extra burden on those who have no option but to use the rail network to get to work or otherwise.This year’s rise,an average of 2.7 per cent,may be a fraction lower than last year’s,but it is still well above the official Consumer Price Index(CPI)measure of inflation.
Successive governments have permitted such increases on the grounds that the cost of investing in and running the rail network should be borne by those who use it,rather than the general taxpayer....?Equally,there is a sense that the travails of commuters in the South East,many of whom will face among the biggest rises,have received too much attention compared to those who must endure the relatively poor infrastructure of the Midlands and the North.
However,over the past 12 months,those commuters have also experienced some of the worst rail strikes in years....The responsibility for the latest wave of strikes rests on the unions.However,there is a strong case that those who have been worst affected by industrial action should receive compensation for the disruption they have suffered.
The Government has pledged to change the law to introduce a minimum service requirement so that,even when strikes occur,...,more investment is needed,but passengers will not be willing to pay more indefinitely if they must also endure cramped,unreliable services,punctuated by regular chaos when timetables are changed,or planned maintenance is managed incompetently.The threat of nationalisation may have been seen off for now,but it will return with a vengeance if the justified anger of passengers is not addressed in short order.
21.The author holds that this year’s increase in rail passengers fares ______.
A.will ease train operators’burden
B.has kept pace with inflation
C.is a big surprise to commuters
D.remains an unreasonable measure
22.The stockbroker in Paragraph 2 is used to stand for ______.
A.car drivers

C.local investors
D.ordinary taxpayers
23.It is indicated in Paragraph 3 that train operators ______.
A.are offering compensation to commuters
B.are trying to repair relations with the unions
C.have failed to provide an adequate service
D.have suffered huge losses owing to the strikes
24.If unable to calm down passengers,the railways may have to face ______.
A.the loss of investment
B.the collapse of operations
C.a reduction of revenue
D.a change of ownership
25.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A.Who Are to Blame for the Strikes?
B.Constant Complaining Doesn’t Work
C.Can Nationalisation Bring Hope?
D.Ever-Rising Fares Aren’t Sustainable

Last year marked the third year in a row of when Indonesia’s bleak rate of deforestation has slowed in pace.One reason for the turnaround may be the country’s antipoverty program.
In 2007,Indonesia started phasing in a program that gives money to its poorest residents under certain conditions,such as requiring people to keep kids in school or get regular medical care.Called conditional cash transfers or CCTs,these social assistance programs are designed to reduce inequality and break the cycle of poverty....In Indonesia,the program has provided enough food and medicine to substantially reduce severe growth problems among children.
But CCT programs don’t generally consider effects on the environment.In fact,poverty alleviation and environmental protection are often viewed as conflicting goals,says Paul Ferraro,an economist at Johns Hopkins University.
That’s because economic growth can be correlated with environmental degradation,while protecting the environment is sometimes correlated with greater poverty.However,those correlations don’t prove cause and effect.The only previous study analyzing causality,based on an area in Mexico that had instituted CCTs,supported the traditional view.There,as people got more money,some of them may have more cleared land for cattle to raise for meat,Ferraro says.
Such programs do not have to negatively affect the environment,though.Ferraro wanted to see if Indonesia’s poverty-alleviation program was affecting deforestation....
Ferraro analyzed satellite data showing annual forest loss from 2008 to 2012—including during Indonesia’s phase-in of the antipoverty program—in 7,468 forested villages across 15 provinces and multiple islands.Ferraro separated the effects of the CCT program on forest loss from other factors,...,“we see that the program is associated with a 30 percent reduction in deforestation,”Ferraro says.
That’s likely because the rural poor are using the money as makeshift insurance policies against inclement weather,Ferraro says.Typically,if rains are delayed,people may clear land to plant more rice to supplement their harvests.With the CCTs,individuals instead can use the money to supplement their harvests.
Whether this research translates elsewhere is anybody’s guess.Ferraro suggests the results may transfer to other parts of Asia,due to commonalities such as the importance of growing rice and market access.And regardless of transferability,the study shows that what’s good for people may also be good for the environment,Ferraro says.Even if this program didn’t reduce poverty,he says,“the value of the avoided deforestation just for carbon dioxide emissions alone is more than the program costs.”
26.According to the first two paragraphs,CCT programs aim to ______.
A.facilitate health care reform
B.help poor families get better off
C.improve local education systems
D.lower deforestation rates
27.The study based on an area in Mexico is cited to show that ______.
A.cattle rearing has been a major means of livelihood for the poor
B.CCT programs have helped preserve traditional lifestyles
C.antipoverty efforts require the participation of local farmers
D.economic growth tends to cause environmental degradation
28.In his study about Indonesia,Ferraro intends to find out ______.
A.its acceptance level of CCTs
B.its annual rate of poverty alleviation
C.the relation of CCTs to its forest loss
D.the role of its forests in climate change
29.According to Ferraro,the CCT program in Indonesia is most valuable in that ______.
A.it will benefit other Asian countries
B.it will reduce regional inequality
C.it can protect the environment
D.it can boost grain production
30.What is the text centered on?
A.The effects of a program.
B.The debates over a program.
C.The process of a study.
D.The transferability of a study.
Text 3
As a historian who’s always searching for the text or the image that makes us re-*uate the past,I’ve become preoccupied with looking for photographs that show our Victorian ancestors smiling(what better way to shatter the image of 19th-century prudery?).I’ve found quite a few,and—since I started posting them on Twitter—they have been causing quite a stir.People have been surprised to see evidence that Victorians had fun and could,and did,laugh.They are noting that the Victorians suddenly seem to become more human as the hundred-or-so years that separate us fade away through our common experience of laughter.
Of course,I need to concede that my collection of‘Smiling Victorians’makes up only a tiny percentage of the vast catalogue of photographic portraiture created between 1840 and 1900,...How do we explain this trend?
During the 1840s and 1850s,in the early days of photography,exposure times were notoriously long:the daguerreotype photographic method(producing an image on a silvered copper plate)could take several minutes to complete,..,and so a non-committal blank stare became the norm.
But exposure times were much quicker by the 1880s,and the introduction of the Box Brownie and other portable cameras meant that,though slow by today’s digital standards,the exposure was almost instantaneous.Spontaneous smiles were relatively easy to capture by the 1890s,so we must look elsewhere for an explanation of why Victorians still hesitated to smile.
One explanation might be the loss of dignity displayed through a cheesy grin.“Nature gave us lips to conceal our teeth,”ran one popular Victorian saying,alluding to the fact that before the birth of proper dentistry,mouths were often in a shocking state of hygiene.A flashing set of healthy and clean,regular‘pearly whites’was a rare sight in Victorian society,the preserve of the super-rich(and even then,dental hygiene was not guaranteed).
A toothy grin(especially when there were gaps or blackened teeth)lacked class:drunks,tramps and music hall performers might gurn and grin with a smile as wide as Lewis Carroll’s gum-exposing Cheshire Cat,but it was not a becoming look for properly bred persons.Even Mark Twain,a man who enjoyed a hearty laugh,said that when it came to photographic portraits there could be“nothing more damning than a silly,foolish smile fixed forever”.
31.According to Paragraph 1,the author’s posts on Twitter ______.
A.changed people’s impression of the Victorians
B.highlighted social media’s role in Victorian studies
C.re-*uated the Victorians’notion of public image
D.illustrated the development of Victorian photography
32.What does the author say about the Victorian portraits he has collected?
A.They are in popular use among historians.
B.They are rare among photographs of that age.
C.They mirror 19th-century social conventions.
D.They show effects of different exposure times.
33.What might have kept the Victorians from smiling for pictures in the 1890s?
A.Their inherent social sensitiveness.
B.Their tension before the camera.
C.Their distrust of new inventions.
D.Their unhealthy dental condition.
34.Mark Twain is quoted to show that the disapproval of smiles in pictures was ______.
A.a deep-rooted belief
B.a misguided attitude
C.a controversial view
D.a thought-provoking idea
35.Which of the following questions does the text answer?
A.Why did most Victorians look stern in photographs?
B.Why did the Victorians start to view photographs?
C.What made photography develop slowly in the Victorian period?
D.How did smiling in photographs become a post-Victorian norm?

From the early days of broadband,advocates for consumers and web-based companies worried that the cable and phone companies selling broadband connections had the power and incentive to favor affiliated websites over their rivals’.That’s why there has been such a strong demand for rules that would prevent broadband providers from picking winners and losers online,preserving the freedom and innovation that have been the lifeblood of the internet.
Yet that demand has been almost impossible to fill—in part because of pushback from broadband providers,anti-regulatory conservatives and the courts.A federal appeals court weighed in again Tuesday,but instead of providing a badly needed resolution,it only prolonged the fight.At issue before the U.S.Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit was the latest take of the Federal Communications Commission(FCC)on net neutrality,adopted on a party-line vote in 2017.The Republican-penned order not only eliminated the strict net neutrality rules the FCC had adopted when it had a Democratic majority in 2015,but rejected the commission’s authority to require broadband providers to do much of anything.The order also declared that state and local governments couldn’t regulate broadband providers either.
The commission argued that the Federal Trade Commission and the U.S.Department of Justice would protect against anti-competitive behavior,such as a broadband-providing conglomerate like AT&T favoring its own video-streaming service at the expense of Netflix and Apple TV.Yet the FCC also ended the investigations of broadband providers that imposed data caps on their rivals’streaming services but not their own.
On Tuesday,the appeals court unanimously upheld the 2017 order deregulating broadband providers,citing a Supreme Court ruling from 2005 that upheld a similarly deregulatory move.But Judge Patricia Millett rightly argued in a concurring opinion that“the result is unhinged from the realities of modern broadband service,”and said Congress or the Supreme Court could intervene to“avoid trapping Internet regulation in technological anachronism.”
In the meantime,the court threw out the FCC’s attempt to block all state rules on net neutrality,while preserving the commission’s power to preempt individual state laws that undermine its order.That means more battles like the one now going on between the Justice Department and California,which enacted a tough net neutrality law in the wake of the FCC’s abdication.
The endless legal battles and back-and-forth at the FCC cry out for Congress to act.It needs to give the commission explicit authority once and for all to bar broadband providers from meddling in the traffic on their network and to create clear rules protecting openness and innovation online.
36.There has long been concern that broadband providers would ______.
A.bring web-based firms under control
B.slow down the traffic on their network
C.show partiality in treating clients
D.intensify competition with their rivals
37.Faced with the demand for net neutrality rules,the FCC ______.
A.sticks to an out-of-date order
B.takes an anti-regulatory stance
C.has issued a special resolution
D.has allowed the states to intervene
38.What can be learned about AT&T from Paragraph 3?
A.It protects against unfair competition.
B.It engages in anti-competitive practices.
C.It is under the FCC’s investigation.
D.It is in pursuit of quality service.
39.Judge Patricia Millett argues that the appeals court’s decision ______.
A.focuses on trivialities
B.conveys an ambiguous message
C.is at odds with its earlier rulings
D.is out of touch with reality
40.What does the author argue in the last paragraph?
A.Congress needs to take action to ensure net neutrality.
B.The FCC should be put under strict supervision.
C.Rules need to be set to diversify online services.
D.Broadband providers’rights should be protected.
