Questions are based on the following passage.

For years, high school students have received identical textbooks as their classmates.Even asstudents have different learning styles and abilities, they are force-fed the same materials."Imagine adigital textbook where because I"m adifferent person and learn differently, my book is different thanyour book," said Richard Baraniuk, founder of OpenStax.

OpenStax will spend two years developing the personalized books and then test them on Houston-area students.The books will also go through a review and evaluation process similar to traditionaltextbooks.Baranluk expects 60 people to review each book before publication to ensure its quality.The idea is to make learning easier, so students can go on to more successful careers and lives.

Baraniuk isn"t just reproducing physical textbooks on digital devices, a mistake e-book publishers havemade.He"s seriously rethinking that the educational experience should be in a world of digital tools.Todo this means involving individuals with skills traditionally left out of the textbook business.Baraniuk iscurrently hiring cognitive scientists and machine learning experts.Baraniuk wants to use the tactics of Google, Netfllx and Amazon to deliver a personalized experience.These Web services all rely oncomplex algorithms (算法) to automatically adjust their offerings for customers.Just as Netlix recommends different movies based on your preferences and viewing history, a textbook might present materials at a different pace.The textbook——which will be stored on a range of digital devices——will automatically adjust itself thanks to machine learning.As a student learns about a topic, he or she could be interrupted by brief quizzes that evaluate, whether he or she masters the area.Depending on how the student does, the subject could be reinforce~l with more material.Or a teacher could be automatically e-mailed that the student is struggling with a certain concept and could use some one-on-one attention.This personalized learning experience is possible thanks to the wealth of data a digital textbook cantrack.This data can be used to better track students" progress during a course.Parents and teacherscan monitor a student"s development and provide in time more proper assistm ce.With personalizedlearning methods, our students" talents will be better developed.

What do we learn about personalized books? 查看材料

A.Their quality will be ensured since they are developed by OpenStax.

B.They will be examined and judged before being published.

C.They will overlook different learning styles and abilities.

D.They will be much similar to traditional textbooks.

Questions are based on the following passage.

Children do not think the way adults do.For most of the first year of life, if something is out of sight, it"s out of mind.If you cover a baby"s(36)toy with a piece of cloth, the baby thinks the toyhas disappeared and stops looking for it.A 4-year-old may(37)that a sister has more fruit juicewhen it is only the shapes of the glasses that differ, not the(38)of juice.

Yet children are smart in their own way.Like good little scientists, children are always testing their child-sized(39)about how things work.When your child throws her spoon on the floor for the sixth time as you try to feed her, and you say, "That"s enough! I will not pick up your spoon again!"

the child will(40)test your claim.Are you serious? Are you angry? What will happen if she throws the spoon again? She is not doing this to drive you(41); rather, she is learning that her desires and yours can differ, and that sometimes those(42 )are important and sometimes they are not.

How and why does children"s thinking change? In the 1920s, Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget proposed that children"s cognitive (认知的) abilities unfold(43), like the blooming of a flower,almost independent of what else is(44)in their lives.Although many of his specific conclusions havebeen(45)or modified over the years, his ideas inspired thousands of studies by investigators all over the world.

Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage.

One in six. Believe it or not, that’s the number of Americans who struggle with hunger.

To make tomorrow a little better, Feeding America, the nation’s largest 36 hunger-

relief organization, has chosen September as Hunger Action Month. As part of its 30 Ways in

30 Days program, it’s asking 37 across the country to help the more than 200 food

banks and 61,000 agencies in its network provide low-income individuals and families with

the fuel they need to 38 .

It’s the kind of work that’s done every day at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in San

Antonio. People who 39 at its front door on the first and third Thursdays of each

month aren’t looking for God – they’re there for something to eat. St. Andrew’s runs a

food pantry (食品室)that 40 the city and several of the 41 towns. Janet Drane

is its manager.

In the wake of the 42 , the number of families in need of food assistance began to

grow. It is 43 that 49 million Americans are unsure of where they will find their next

meal. What’s most surprising is that 36% of them live in 44 where at least one adult

is working. “It used to be that one job was all you needed,” says St. Andrew’s Drane. “

The people we see now have three or four part-time jobs and they’re still right on the

edge 45 .” 注意:此部分试题请在答题卡 2 上作答。

Passage 2 Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage: How men first learned

Passage 2 Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:

How men first learned to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken, or written in letters we call words.

The power of words, then, lies in their combinations — the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.

Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and feelings. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary (文字的) style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and rude.

第6题:The origin of language ________.

A. is reflected in sounds and letters B. is handed down from generation to generation C. dates back to the prehistoric period D. is a problem not yet solved

Section B – TWO questions ONLY to be attemptedAPX Accountancy (APX) is an accountancy part

Section B – TWO questions ONLY to be attempted

APX Accountancy (APX) is an accountancy partnership with 12 branches covering each of the main cities of Emland. The business is well established, having organically grown over the last 40 years to become the second largest non-international practice in Emland. The accountancy market is mature and expands and contracts along with the general economic performance of Emland.

APX offers accountancy, audit, tax and business advisory services. The current business environment in Emland is dominated by a recession and the associated insolvency work is covered within the business advisory area of APX.

At present, the practice collects the following information for strategic performance evaluation:

The above figures are for the most recent financial year and illustrate the metrics used by APX. Equivalent monthly figures are produced for each of the monthly partner meetings which review practice performance.

The staff are remunerated based on their grade, with non-partners obtaining a bonus of up to 10% of basic salary based on their line managers’ annual review. The partners receive a fixed salary with a share of profit which depends on their contractual responsibilities within the partnership.

The managing partner of APX is dissatisfied with the existing performance management system, as she is not convinced that it is helping to achieve the long-term goal of expanding and ultimately floating the business on the national stock exchange. Therefore, she has asked you to consider the impact of applying Fitzgerald and Moon’s building block approach to performance management in the practice.

Required:

(a) Briefly describe Fitzgerald and Moon’s building block model of performance management. (4 marks)

(b) Evaluate the existing performance management system at APX by applying the building block model. (8 marks)

(c) Explain the main improvements the introduction of a building block approach to performance management could provide, and suggest specific improvements to the existing system of performance measures at APX in light of the introduction of the building block model. (8 marks)
