Tourism, holidaymaking and travel are these days more significant social phenomena than most
(COMMENT) Q21.1.................... have considered. Tourism is a leisure activity which (SUPPOSE)
Q21.2.................... its opposite namely regulated or organized work. It is one manifestation of how
work and leisure are organized as separate and regulated spheres of social practice in modern
societies. Indeed, acting as a tourist is one of the defining characteristics of being modern and the
4
popular (CONCEIVE) Q21.3.................... of tourism is that it is organized within particular places
and occurs for (REGULAR) Q21.4.................... periods of time. Tourist relationships arise from a
movement of people to and their stay in various destinations. This (INSTRUMENT)
Q21.5.................... involves some movement that is a new place or places. The journey and the stay
are, by definition, outside the normal places of residence and work, and are of a short-term and
temporary nature, and there is a clear intention to return home within a relatively short period of
time.
A (SUBSTANCE) Q21.6.................... proportion of the population of modern societies engages in
such tourist practices. New socialized forms of provision have developed in order to cope with the
mass character of the gazes of tourists as opposed to the individual character of travel. Places are
chosen to be visited and be gazed upon because there is an anticipation especially through
daydreaming and (FANTASIA) Q21.7.................... of intense pleasures, either on a different scale or
involving different senses from those (CUSTOM) Q21.8.................... encountered. Such anticipation
is constructed and sustained through a variety of (TOUR) Q21.9.................... practices such as film,
TV, literature, magazine, records and videos which construct and (FORCE) Q21.10.................... this
daydreaming.
Fill each of the following blanks with ONE suitable word.
Q22.1.................... along the way, Black Friday made the giant leap from congested streets and
crowded stores to fevered shoppers fist-fighting over parking spaces and pepper-spraying each
other as they tussle Q22.2.................... the last Tickle Me Elmo. When did Black Friday become the
Q22.3.................... frenzy, over-the-top shopping event it is today?
That would be in the 2000s when Black Friday was officially designated the biggest shopping day of
the year. Until then, that Q22.4.................... had gone to the Saturday before Christmas. Yet as more
and more retailers started touting "can't miss" post-Thanksgiving sales and the Black Friday
discounts grew deeper and deeper, American consumers could no longer Q22.5.................... the pull
of this magical shopping day.
Retailers may spend an Q22.6.................... year planning their Black Friday sales. They use the day
as an opportunity to offer rock-Q22.7.................... prices on overstock inventory and to offer
doorbusters and discounts on seasonal items, such as holiday decorations and typical holiday gifts.
Retailers also offer significant discounts on big-ticket items and top-selling brands of TVs, smart
devices, and other electronics, luring customers in the hope that Q22.8.................... inside, they will
purchase higher-margin goods. The contents of Black Friday advertisements are often so

TECHNOLOGY
When faced with some new and possibly bewildering technological change, most people react in
one of two Q23.1..................... They either recoil from anything new, claiming that it is unnecessary
or too complicated or that it somehow makes life less than Q23.2..................... Or they learn to
Q23.3.................... to the new invention, and eventually Q23.4.................... how they could possibly
have existed without it. Take computers as an example. For many of us, they still represent a
Q23.5.................... to our freedom and give us a frightening sense of a future in which all
Q23.6.................... will be taken by machines. This may be because they seem mysterious, and
difficult to understand. Ask most people what you can use a home computer for, and you usually
get Q23.7.................... answers about how 'they give you information'. In fact, even those of us who
are familiar with computers, and use them in our daily work, have very little idea of how they work.
But it does not take long to learn how to operate a business program, even if things occasionally go
wrong for no apparent reason. Presumably much the same happened when the telephone and the
television became Q23.8..................... What seems to alarm most people is the speed of
technological change, rather than the change itself. And the Q23.9.................... that are made to new
technology may well have a point to them since change is not always an improvement. As discover
during power cuts, there is a lot to be said for the oil lamp, the coal fire, and forms of entertainment,
such as books or board games, that don't have to be Q23.10.................... into work.

Graphic novels: a fresh angle on literature
Has the graphic novel - a fictional story presented in comic-strip format finally become
intellectually respectable?
6
Graphic novels have just landed with an almighty kersplat. Ten days ago, two such works were
shortlisted for the Shakespeare Book Awards for the first time in the history of the prize, in two
different categories. This was no publicity stunt neither panel knew what the other had done. This is,
surely, the moment when the graphic book finally made its entrance into the respectable club roam
of high literature. Hang on, though, can you compare a graphic novel with the literary kind?
Wouldn't that be like comparing a painting with a music video? Or is it time we started seeing them
as comparable mediums for storytelling? If so, what next?
Robert Macfarlane, the chairman of another major literary award, says he has no objection in
principle to a graphic novel being submitted for the prize. In fact, he has taught one, Art
Spiegelman's Maus, alongside the works of Russian writer Tolstoy and Don Quixote by the Spanish
writer Miguel de Cervantes) at the University of Cambridge, where he works in the English Faculty,
'The idea of outlawing the graphic novel doesn't make any sense to me,' he says. 'I don't segregate it
from the novel. The novel is always eating up other languages, media and forms.' Graphic fiction, he
says, is 'another version of the novel's long flirtation with the visual'. This is, he declares, 'a golden
age for the graphic novel'.
And he's right. We are seeing a boom in graphic novels. Since Maus was awarded a Pulitzer Prize in
1992, they have gone on to devour every literary genre going. But so far, graphic novels have
politely stood aside and let conventional books win the big prizes. Now they want the vote. Fighting
for the graphic novelists' cause, astonishingly, are some hefty prize-winning writers. The English
novelist and poet A. S. Byatt is passionately in favour of graphic novels competing with regular
ones. Byatt, who is a huge fan of Spiegelman's Maus, thinks that French-Iranian artist Marjane
Satrapi's graphic novel Persepolis and 'head and shoulders above most novels being produced. It's
more interesting and more moving. It's able to be serious because it can carry itself along on this
unserious form. It allowed her to be witty about things that are terrible. And that is why it's a major
work of art'.
The genius of the graphic novel, as the English writer Philip Pullman explains, is that it can bring
into play so many levels of narrative by layering them on top of each other. Take American Alison
Bechdel's brilliant Are You My Mother? - in a single page, she can depict a memory of being with
her mother in her childhood, dialogue between herself and her mother as they chat on the phone in
the present, plus an image of herself toiling at her desk, trying to write her memoir. And what
Bechdel and her mum are saying on the phone links to the diaries of the early 20th-century writer
Virginia Woolf, which Bechdel also brings to visual life. Try doing that with words - it would take a
chapter, Bechdel does it in a few panels. That in the end is precisely what keeps graphic literature so
distinct from prose narrative.
Graphic novels and traditional novels demand, to be sure, the same amours of time, intellect and
artistry from their authors. But that doesn't mean they're the same thing. A few years on, will you be
clicking the buy button on a graphic novel as happily as you'd pick up a work by a traditional
novelist? Even Bechdel confesses that her reading habits are still struggling out of the past.
7
'Honestly, I would be slightly more inclined to pick up a non-graphic work,' she says. At this point,
there's not a huge number of graphic novels that are about topics that interest me. But that too is
changing. We're becoming more visually Iiterate. There's some reason for these graphic novels
creeping into the canon. We're reading differently from how we used to 200 years ago.
What does the writer say about the nomination of two graphic novels for the Shakespeare
Book Awards?
A. It revealed the closed-mindedness of the literary establishment.
B. It was a result of confusion among members of the panel.
C. It generated debate about the true purpose of the prize.
D. It was not deliberately calculated to attract people's attention.
What does Robert Macfarlane suggest about graphic novels?
A. Their long-term success has now been assured.
B. Their banning from literature courses has backfired.
C. They are a logical step in the development of fiction.
D. They tend to be less innovative than traditional novels.
In the third paragraph, the writer suggests that, in the past, writers of graphic novels _____.
A. lacked the support of influential figures.
B. were systematically discriminated against.
C. tended to accept their inferior social standing.

D. underappreciated the importance of literary awards.
The word "hefty" is closest in meaning _____.
A. cumbersome
B. prominent
C. immense
D. vigorous
The writer discusses Alison Bechdel's book to make the point that graphic novels _____.
A. can have just as much narrative depth as traditional novels
B. are able to incorporate a surprising range of different voices
8
C. can represent the workings of memory in sophisticated ways
D. enable writers to deal with different aspects of a story at once
Bechdel is quoted in the last paragraph to make the point that _____.
A. interest in graphic novels reflects a more general trend
B. many readers lack the skills to fully appreciate graphic novels
C. it is difficult to persuade people to take graphic novels seriously
D. graphic novels are far outnumbered by quality traditional novels
In this article, the writer is _____.
A. analysing the preoccupations of graphic novelists
B. outlining the origins of graphic novels
C. describing the working practices of graphic novelists
D. evaluating the merits of graphic novels
( 1 ) Hardly anyone who has ever chucked a tennis ball in the general vicinity of a border collie
knows that some animals take play very seriously- the intense stare, the tremble of anticipation, the
apparent joy with every bounce, all in pursuit of inedible prey that tastes like the backyard. ( 2 )
Dogs are far from the only animals that devote considerable time and energy to play. ( 3 ) Juvenile
wasps wrestle with hive mates, otters toss rocks between with their paws, and human children
around the world go to great lengths to avoid make-believe lava on the living-room floor. ( 4 ) When
a dog chases a ball or a child adjudicates relationship disputes in doll-land, something is important
and meaningful is clearly happening in their minds, says Laura Schulz, a cognitive scientist at MIT. (
5 ) 'A play has a lot of peculiar and fascinating properties, ' she says. ( 6 ) 'It's totally fundamental to
learning and human intelligence. ' ( 7 ) Scientists take play seriously too. For decades, psychologists,
evolutionary biologists, and animal behaviorists, among others, have labored to understand in the
playful mind. ( 8 ) They have been given toys to octopuses, set up wrestling matches for rats,
trained cameras on wild monkeys in the jungle and on semi-domesticated children on the
playground. ( 9 ) Their biggest question: What do these creatures get out of playtime? ( 10 )
Clarifying the motivations and benefits of play could tell us much about behavior and cognitive
development in people and other animals, Schulz says.

B. An international research project
C. An experiment to investigate consumer responses
D. Marketing an alternative name
E. A misleading name
F. A potentially profitable line of research
G. Medical dangers of the technique

I. Broadening applications
K. What is neuromarketing?
Inside the mind of the consumer
Could brain-scanning technology provide an accurate way to assess the appeal of new products
and the effectiveness of advertising?
1. Q32.1....................
MARKETING people are no longer prepared to take your word for it that you favor one product
over another. They want to scan your brain to see which one you really prefer. Using the tools of
neuroscientists, such as electroencephalogram (EEG) mapping and functional magnetic resonance
imaging (fMRI), they are trying to learn more about the mental processes behind purchasing
decisions. The resulting fusion of neuroscience and marketing is inevitably, being called
'neuromarketing’.
2. Q32.2....................
The first person to apply brain-imaging technology in this way was Gerry Zaltman of Harvard
University, in the late 1990s. The idea remained in obscurity until 2001, when BrightHouse, a
10
marketing consultancy based in Atlanta, Georgia, set up a dedicated neuromarketing arm,
BrightHouse Neurostrategies Group. (BrightHouse lists Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines and Home Depot
among its clients.) But the company's name may itself simply be an example of clever marketing.
BrightHouse does not scan people while showing them specific products or campaign ideas but
bases its work on the results of more general fMRI-based research into consumer preferences and
decision-making carried out at Emory University in Atlanta.
3. Q32.3....................
Can brain-scanning really be applied to marketing? The basic principle is not that different from
focus groups and other traditional forms of market research. A volunteer lies in an fMRI machine
and is shown images or video clips. In place of an interview or questionnaire, the subject's response
is evaluated by monitoring brain activity. fMRIprovides real-time images of brain activity, in which
different areas “light up” depending on the level of blood flow. This provides clues to the subject's
subconscious thought patterns. Neuroscientists know, for example, that the sense of self is
associated with an area of the brain known as the medial prefrontal cortex. A flow of blood to that
area while the subject is looking at a particular logo suggests that he or she identifies with that
brand.
4. Q32.4....................
At first, it seemed that only companies in Europe were prepared to admit that they used
neuromarketing. Two carmakers, DaimlerChrysler in Germany and Ford's European arm, ran pilot
studies in 2003. But more recently, American companies have become more open about their use of
neuromarketing. Lieberman Research Worldwide, a marketing firm based in Los Angeles, is
collaborating with the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to enable movie studios to
market-test film trailers. More controversially, the New York Times recently reported that a political
consultancy, FKF Research, has been studying the effectiveness of campaign commercials using
neuromarketing techniques.
5. Q32.5....................
Whether all this is any more than a modern-day version of phrenology, the Victorian obsession
with linking lumps and bumps in the skull to personality traits, is unclear. There have been no large-
scale studies, so scans of a handful of subjects may not be a reliable guide to consumer behaviour in
general. Of course, focus groups and surveys are flawed too: strong personalities can steer the
outcomes of focus groups, and people do not always tell opinion pollsters the truth. And even
honest people cannot always explain their preferences.
6. Q32.6....................
That is perhaps where neuromarketing has the most potential. When asked about cola drinks, most
people claim to have a favorite brand, but cannot say why they prefer that brand’s taste. An
unpublished study of attitudes towards two well-known cola drinks. Brand A and Brand 13. carried
out last year in a college of medicine in the US found that most subjects preferred Brand B in a
blind tasting fMRI scanning showed that drinking Brand B lit up a region called the ventral
11
putamen, which is one of the brain s ‘reward centres’, far more brightly than Brand A. But when
told which drink was which, most subjects said they preferred Brand A, which suggests that its
stronger brand outweighs the more pleasant taste of the other drink.
7. Q32.7....................
“People form many unconscious attitudes that are obviously beyond traditional methods that utilize
introspection,” says Steven Quartz, a neuroscientist at Caltech who is collaborating with Lieberman
Research. With over $100 billion spent each year on marketing in America alone, any firm that can
more accurately analyze how customers respond to products, brands and advertising could make a
fortune.
8. Q32.8....................
Consumer advocates are wary. Gary Ruskin of Commercial Alert, a lobby group, thinks existing
marketing techniques are powerful enough. “Already, marketing is deeply implicated in many
serious pathologies,” he says. “That is especially true of children, who are suffering from an
epidemic of marketing-related diseases, including obesity and type-2 diabetes. Neuromarketing is a
tool to amplify these trends.”
