Millions of people are struggling to understand their paychecks or calculate money in shops, campaigners have said. Being bad at maths should no longer be seen as “a badge of honour” or down to genetics, (3) according to National Numeracy, a new organisation which aims to challenge the nation’s negative view of the subject.
Chris Humphries, chairman of the group, said that poor maths skills can affect an individual’s life, leaving them at a higher risk of being excluded from school or out of work. Figures from a government survey, published last year, show that 17 million adults in England have basic math skills that are, at best, the same as an 11-year-old, he said. Speaking at the launch of the National Numeracy, Mr. Humphries said: “That’s a scary figure, because what it means is they often can’t calculate or give change.”
Mike Ellicock, chief executive of National Numeracy, said: “We want to challenge this ‘I can’t do maths’ attitude that is prevalent in the UK”, (4) adding that is vital that all primary school teachers understand key maths concepts, as young children who fail to learn the basics will suffer later on.

D He held a part-time job for over 20 years.
答案解析：
(5) The Dutch king has revealed that for more than two decades he has held down a part-time second job, alongside his royal duties.
King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands said that he recently ended his role as a regular “guest pilot” after 21 years with a national airline’s fleet of now-outdated aircraft.
As a guest flier, the king worked about twice a month, always as co-pilot. He will now retrain to fly the bigger Boeing 737s as the old planes are being phased out of service. The fifty-year-old father of three and king to 17 million Dutch citizens calls flying a “hobby”. It lets him leave his royal duties on the ground and fully focus on something else.
“You have an aircraft, passengers and crew. You have responsibility for them,” the king said. “You can’t take your problems from the ground into the skies. (6) You can completely change focus and concentrate on something else. That, for me, is the most relaxing part of flying.”
(7) Willem-Alexander said he is rarely recognised by passengers. Very few people pay attention to him as he walks through the airport in his airline uniform and cap.
5. What does the report say about the Dutch king?

16、Question 16 is based on the passage you have just heard.
A Rewarding them for eating vegetables.
B Exposing them to vegetables repeatedly.
C Improving the taste of vegetable dishes for them.
D Explaining the benefits of eating vegetables to them.
答案解析：
All parents know it is difficult to get children to eat their vegetables. Some of them offer rewards or treats for children finishing their share. But researchers have discovered that youngsters who are not praised for trying vegetables are more likely to eat them eventually. (16) The study found that the best way to get children to eat food they do not like is simply to give them repeated exposure to it.
Psychologists from Ghent University in Belgium studied 98 children. They gave them five kinds of vegetables to eat: mushrooms, peas, eggplants, carrots and cabbages. (17) The taste tests revealed that carrots were the least-liked vegetable among youngsters. The children were then given a bowl of boiled carrots and told to choose how much to eat. After eight minutes they were asked to rate the dish as “delicious”, “just OK” or “disgusting”. The trial went on twice a week for a month, with a follow-up taste test after eight weeks.
Children were split into three groups, with one group asked to try the bowl of carrots repeatedly with no further encouragement. The other two groups were given rewards of a toy or verbal praise. (18) After the trial, 81% of children who simply tried the carrots consistently liked them. This is in contrast to 68% for the group given a toy and 75% for the group given verbal praise.

19、Question 19 is based on the passage you have just heard.
A Space exploration has serious consequences.
B India has many space exploration programs.
C There is quite a lot to learn about the moon.
D A lot of garbage has been left on the moon.
答案解析：
(19) One thing about the moon many people don’t know is that it has a lot of garbage on its surface, leftover from human space exploration. But how much garbage exactly have humans left on the moon? It’s hard to be accurate, but the trash likely weighs more than 181,000 kilograms on Earth. Much of it was left by American astronauts, who landed on the lunar surface between 1969 and 1972 during NASA’s Apollo Missions. The other rubbish comes from missions that did not have human crews. These missions were conducted by various space exploring agencies, including those from the US, Russia, Japan, India and Europe. Many of the older pieces are equipment sent to learn about the moon. The equipment stayed there after its mission ended. The moon is also home to lunar orbiters that mapped the moon before they crashed into its surface, adding to the garbage heap. The objects left by the Apollo astronauts included the equipment that was no longer needed. (20) Bringing back unneeded equipment would have used up precious resources such as fuel. But, as the saying goes, “one person’s trash is another’s treasure”, (21) researchers can study the garbage left on the moon to see how its materials weathered the radiation and vacuum of space overtime. Moreover, some of the objects on the moon are still being used, including a laser-range reflector left by the Apollo 11 crew.
19. What does the passage say maybe unknown to many people?

A It is likely to remain a means of business communication.
B It is likely to be a competitor of various messaging apps.
C It will gradually be replaced by social media.
D It will have to be governed by specific rules.
答案解析：
In my line of work, I receive a lot of e-mails. I also send a lot of e-mails. Though social media and messaging apps have taken over some of the roles from e-mail as a form of communication, (22) e-mail is likely to retain an important role for business communication in the future. Surprisingly, though, a lot of companies and organizations lack formal guidelines for e-mailing. As most of you will soon be entering the workforce, I would like to share with you my own rules for e-mailing.
(23) If someone sends you an e-mail, reply to them, acknowledging the email. A simple “thank you” lets the sender know that their e-mail has arrived safely, that it has not been lost among what could be fifty other emails that have arrived in your e-mail inbox that day. (24) It is not necessary to reply to a mass email sent to numerous recipients. These emails are often informative rather than personalized correspondence requiring a response or action. (23) But it’s common politeness to respond to a personal message, preferably within 24 hours of receiving it.
It’s also important to use proper English. Just because e-mails are a quick form of communication doesn’t mean e-mails, especially business e-mails, should be written using informal, shortened forms of words. Think of e-mail as a letter. Spelling, grammar and punctuation should not be overlooked. (25) And never use capitals to emphasize a word or words in an e-mail. It’s the same as yelling.

Part III Reading Comprehension
How a Poor, Abandoned Parisian Boy Became a Top Chef?
【A】The busy streets in Paris were uneven and caked in thick mud, but there was always a breathtaking sight to see in the shop windows of Patisserie de la Rue de la Paix. By 1814, people crowded outside the bakery, straining for a glimpse of the latest sweet food created by the young chef who worked inside.
【B】 His name was Marie-Antoine Carême, and he had appeared, one day, almost out of nowhere. But in his short lifetime, which ended exactly 184 years ago today, he would forever revolutionize French gourmet food（美食）, write best-selling cook books and think up magical dishes for royals and other important people.
【C】Carême’s childhood was one part tragedy, equal part mystery. Born the 16th child to poor parents in Paris in either 1783 or 1784, a young Carême was suddenly abandoned at the height of the French Revolution. At 8 years old, he worked as a kitchen boy for a restaurant in Paris in exchange for room and board. By age 15, he had become an apprentice（学徒）to Sylvain Bailly, a well-known dessert chef with a successful bakery in one of Paris’s most fashionable neighborhoods.
【D】Carême was quick at learning in the kitchen. Bailly encouraged his young apprentice to learn to read and write. Carême would often spend his free afternoons at the nearby National Library reading books on art and architecture. In the back room of the little bakery, his interest in design and his baking talent combined to work wonders—he shaped delicious masterpieces out of flour, butter and sugar.
【E】In his teenage years, Carême fashioned eatable copies of the late 18th century’s most famous buildings—cookies in the shape of ruins of ancient Athens and pies in the shape of ancient Chinese palaces and temples. Sylvain Bailly, his master, displayed these luxuriant creations— often as large as 4 feet tall—in his bakery windows.
【F】 Carême creations soon captured the discriminating eye of a French diplomat, Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord. Around 1804, Talleyrand challenged Carême to produce a full menu for his personal castle, instructing the young baker to use local, seasonal fruits and vegetables and to avoid repeating main dishes over the course of an entire year. The experiment was a grand success and Talleyrand’s association with French nobility would prove a profitable connection for Carême.
【G】 French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte was known to be unimpressed by the declining taste of early 18th century cooking, but under pressure to entertain Paris’ high society, he too called Carême to his kitchen at Tuileries Palace. In 1810, Carême designed the extraordinary cake for the wedding of Napoleon and his second bride, Marie-Louise of Austria. He became one of the first modern chefs to focus on the appearance of his table, not just the flavor of his dishes. “I want order and taste. A well-displayed meal is enhanced one hundred percent in my eyes,” he later wrote in one of his cook books.
【H】In 1816, Carême began a culinary（烹饪的）journey which would forever mark his place as history’s first top chef. He voyaged to England to cook in the modern Great Kitchen of the prince regent（摄政王）, George IV, and crossed continents to prepare grand banquets for the tables of Tsar Alexander I of Russia. Never afraid to talk up his own accomplishments, a boastful Carême made a fortune as wealthy families with social ambitions invited him to their kitchens. Later, in his cook books, he would often include a sketch of himself, so that people on the street would be able to recognize—and admire—him.
【I】Carême’s cooking displays became the symbol of fine French dining; they were plentiful, beautiful and imposing. Guests would fall silent in wonder as servants carried Carême’s fancy creations into the dining hall. For a banquet celebrating the Grand Duke Nicholas of Russia’s visit to George IV’s Brighton Pavillion on Jan. 18, 1817, the menu featured 120 different dishes, highlighting eight different soups, 40 main courses, and 32 desserts.
【J】As he traveled through the homes of early 19th century nobility, Carême forged the new art of French gourmet food. Locked in hot kitchens, Carême created his four “mother sauces.” These sauces—béchamel, velouté, espagnole and allemande—formed the central building blocks for many French main courses. He also perfected the soufflé—a baked egg dish, and introduced the standard chef’s uniform—the same double-breasted white coat and tall white hat still worn by many chefs today. The white clothing conveyed an image of cleanliness, according to Carême—and in his realm, appearance was everything.
【K】Between meals, Carême wrote cook books that would be used in European kitchens for the next century. His manuals, including The Royal Parisian Baker and the massive five-volume Art of French Cooking Series (1833-1847, completed after his death) first systematized many basic principles of cooking, complete with drawings and step-by-step directions. Long before television cooking shows, Carême walked readers through common kitchen tasks, instructing them to “try this for yourself, at home” as famous American Chef Julia Child might do, many years later.
【L】In the end, however, it was the kitchen that did Carême in. Decades of working over coal fires in tight, closed spaces with little fresh air (to ensure his dishes would not get cold) had fatally damaged his lungs. On Jan. 12, 1833, Carême died just before he turned 50.
【M】But in his lifetime, Carême, ever confident, could see beyond his short domination in the kitchen. He wanted to “set the standard for beauty in classical and modern cooking, and prove to the distant future that the French chefs of the 19th century were the most famous in the world,” as he wrote in his papers.
【N】Decades later, Auguste Escoffier would build upon Carême’s concept of French cuisine（烹饪）. But in the very beginning, there was just Carême, the top chef who elevated dining into art.
36、Carême was among the first chefs who stressed both the appearance and flavor of dishes.
