　　Passage 1

　　Crash. Shatter. Boom. Crash. Shatter. Boom. Smattering of silly dialogue. Pretty girl screams:

　　"Dad! " Crash. Shatter. Boom. Silly dialogue. "DAD!!! " Crash. Shatter. Boom.

　　What? Oh, sorry. We were falling into a trance there.

　　Which is, dear moviegoer, what may happen to you during Michael Bay's Transformers: Age of Extinction, the fourth Transformers film and lasts 165 minutes, which is precariously close to the three-hour mark that Bay undoubtedly will reach--by our sophisticated calculations, and at the current growth rate, with his sixth installment.

　　But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Despite what you've just read, this film will likely be a massive hit because by now, if you're buying a Transformers ticket, you surely know what you're getting into, and you want more, more, more. And Bay is the Master of More.

　　Or just take it from the l 1-year-old sitting next to me, who reserved any audible judgment--he, too was in a trance, though maybe from sugar intake--until the moment he saw a Transformer become a dinosaur. Overwhelmed by the pairing, he proclaimed, "That's the sickest thing I've ever seen in my life." It was as if peanut butter and jelly had been tasted together for the first time.

　　This time, there's a whole new human cast. Most important, Mark Wahlberg has replaced Shia LaBeouf as well, Main Human Guy.

　　A significant part of the movie also takes place in China--clearly a nod to the franchise's huge market in the country.

　　In any case, we begin in Paris, Texas, where Cade Yeager (Wahlberg), a struggling inventor, is desperately seeking a big discovery. He's also a widowed dad, and super-protective (as the movie incessantly reminds us) of his high-school daughter, Tessa (Nicola Peltz, blond and pretty and ineffective, though the one-note script does her no favours).

　　One day, Cade buys a rusty old truck. Examining it back home, he soon discovers it's none other than Optimus Prime, the Autobot hero, seriously damaged.

　　As Cade works on fixing him up, his assistant, wisecracking surfer-dude Lucas, has the dumb idea of calling the authorities. What he doesn't know is that the government is plotting to destroy all remaining Autobots in favour of a man-made army of Transformers. He's being helped in this endeavour by the shadowy KSI Corporation, run by the nasty-but-complicated Joshua Joyce (Stanley Tucci).

　　So now, it's evil humans that pitted against the trustworthy Autobots. So much for gratitude.

　　There's also a subplot involving Tessa and her secret boyfriend, Shane (Jack Reynor, underused),whose Irish accent leads Cade to dismissively call him "Lucky Charms"--at least until the two bond in battle.

　　The obvious question: Is it too much for its own good? Bay is very talented at all things visual,the 3-13 works well and the robots look great. But the final confrontation alone lasts close to an hour. At some point, you may find yourself simply in a daze, unable to absorb any further action into your brain.

　　21. What can be inferred from the first paragraph?

　　A. The girl can't understand the movie she was seeing.

　　B. The girl felt scared about the movie she was seeing.

　　C. The movie the girl seeing was very thrilling.

　　D. The girl couldn't find her father.

　　22. What does the word "trance" (Para. 2) mean?

　　A. Unconsciousness.

　　B. Fascination.

　　C. Scare.

　　D. Confusion.

　　23. What did the author mean by saying "... and you want more, more, more. And Bay is the Master of More." (Para. 4)?

　　A. The audiences are hard to satisfy.

　　B. Bay is good at producing massive hit.

　　C. Only Bay can bring audience massive hit.

　　D. Bay knows about the audience's mind.

　　24. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

　　A. The audiences don't like the final confrontation.

　　B. The disadvantages of Transformers 4 are more obvious than advantages.

　　C. Putting into too much what the director skilled poses negative effect.

　　D. The director Bay only focuses on the 3-D works.

　　25. Which of the following statement is wrong?

　　A. The sixth Transformer may last for 3 hours.

　　B. The government in the movie wants to set up a man-made army of Transformers.

　　C. In the movie, KSI Corporation stands by the government.

　　D. Joshua Joyce has reported the news about Autobot hero to the government.

　　Passage 2

　　The British Medical Journal recently featured a strong response to what was judged an inappropriately lenient reaction by a medical school to a student cheating in an examination.

　　Although we have insufficient reliable data about the extent of this phenomenon, its prevention, or its effective management, much can be concluded and acted upon on the basis of common sense and concepts with face validity.

　　There is general agreement that there should be zero tolerance of cheating in a profession based on trust and one on which human lives depend. It is reasonable to assume that cheaters in medical school will be more likely than others to continue to act dishonestly with patients,colleagues, insurers, and government.

　　The behaviours under question are multifactorial in origin. There are familial, religious, and cultural values that are acquired long before medical school. For example, countries, cultures, and subcultures exist where bribes and dishonest behaviour are almost a norm. There are secondary schools in which neither staff nor students tolerate cheating and others where cheating is rampant;there are homes which imbue young people with high standards of ethical behaviour and others which leave ethical training to the harmful influence of television and the market place.

　　Medical schools reflect society and cannot be expected to remedy all the ills of a society. The selection process of medical students might be expected to favour candidates with integrity and positive ethical behaviour--if one had a reliable method for detecting such characteristics in advance. Medical schools should be the major focus of attention for imbuing future doctors with integrity and ethical sensitivity. Unfortunately there are troubling, if inconclusive, data that suggest that during medical school the ethical behaviour of medical students does not necessarily improve;indeed, moral development may actually stop or even regress.

　　The creation of a pervasive institutional culture of integrity is essential. It is critical that the academic and clinical leaders of the institution set a personal example of integrity. Medical schools must make their institutional position and their expectations of students absolutely clear from day one. The development of a school's culture of integrity requires a partnership with the students in which they play an active role in its creation and nurturing. Moreover, the school's examination system and general treatment of students must be perceived as fair. Finally, the treatment of infractions must be firm, fair, transparent, and consistent.

　　26. What does the author say about cheating in medical schools?

　　A. Extensive research has been done about this phenomenon.

　　B. We have sufficient data to prove that prevention is feasible.

　　C. We are safe to conclude that this phenomenon exists on a grand scale.

　　D. Reliable data about the extent, prevention and management of the phenomenon is lacking.

　　27. According to the author, it is important to prevent cheating in medical schools because__________.

　　A. the medical profession is based on trust

　　B. there is zero tolerance of cheating in medicine

　　C. the medical profession depends on the government

　　D. cheating exists extensively in medical schools

　　28. What does the author say about the cause(s) of cheating?

　　A. Family, culture and society play an active part.

　　B. Bad school environment is the leading cause of student cheating.

　　C. Parents are always to blame for their children's cheating behaviour.

　　D. Cheating exists primarily because students learn bad things from TV.

　　29. According to the author, what precautions should medical schools take to prevent students from cheating?

　　A. Medical schools should establish a firm moral standard to weed out applicants with low integrity.

　　B. Medical schools should make efforts to remedy the ills of a society.

　　C. Medical schools should teach future doctors integrity and ethical values.

　　D. There is nothing medical schools can do to improve the ethical behaviour of their students.

　　30. The author will probably agree with which of the following statements?

　　A. Medical schools should make exams easier for the students to alleviate the fierce

　　competition.

　　B. Prominent figures in the medical institution should create a set of moral standards to be applied in medical schools.

　　C. Medical students should play an active role in the creation and preservation of a culture of integrity.

　　D. Those students who cheat in the exams should be instantly expelled from school.
