Alex Wong, a junior atMarkKeppelHigh SchoolinAlhambra,California, is working hard on his application to a top college. His resume shows off his nearly straight A’s in difficult classes, experience at a summer program atStanfordUniversity, Eagle Scout project and time on the soccer team as well as the school choir. But his steady progress stopped unexpectedly this year. Aiming to open access to college-level Advanced Placement (大学预科) courses, his schoolbegan using a computer-based lottery to give out spaces. Alex got shut out of all three of the courses he requested.
The new system caused anger among families whose children failed to get into AP courses, which many consider important to develop advanced skills, improve grade-point averages and allow students to earn college credit, saving them and their families tuition dollars. Students and parents wrote to administrators to complain, circulated a petition (请愿) and launched a Facebook group for trading classes. “I’M DESPERATE! I’LL GIVE YOU FREE FOOD,” one student, Kirk Hum, posted on the 210-member AP Flea Market Facebook group.
AP classes have long been held dear by the most talented and ambitious students.But now they are seen as positive for all students who are willing to push themselves – and schools are increasingly viewing access to them as a basic educational right. But this change has brought challenges.
Miracle Vitangcol, a junior atDowntownMagnetsHigh Schoolwith average grades and test scores, is failing her
AP US history class. She said she can’t handle the rapid pace and volume of material she needs to remember. But she said she intends to stick it out because the class is teaching her to manage her time, take good notes and work hard. “I’m struggling to adjust,” she said. “But I keep telling myself: ‘It’s OK. You can do it. Just push yourself’.”
Some critics worry that the open-access movement is pushing too many unprepared students into AP classes, as shown by higher exam failure rates over the last decade. They also fear that open enrollment (录取) policies are encouraging teachers to weaken courses and give out high grades to students who don’t deserve them. “While expanding access is generally a good thing, we need to make sure we’re not watering down the experience for the high achievers,” said Michael Petrilli, executive vice president of the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, a Washington-based educational policy organization.
4. The purpose of the new AP courses system at Alex Wong’s school is to ______.
A. make sure all students get access to the AP courses they desire.
B. ensure that students have a fair chance to get access to AP courses.
C. improve the academic performance of students in AP courses.
D. separate high achievers from average students through the new courses.
5. According to the article, the AP Flea Market Facebook group is a place where ______.
A. students’ parents send their complaints to school administrators.
B. students share tips about saving money for college.
C. students offer items to trade for the AP courses they need.
D. students can find support and guidance on their AP study.
6. Which of the following statements would Michael Petrilli agree with?
A. Opening AP courses to all students is a bad idea.
B. School administrators should maintain high academic standards for AP courses.
C. High schools should stop charging students for taking AP courses.
D. Access to AP courses is necessary for students applying for top American colleges.
7. The author used Miracle Vitangcol’s example to show that ______.
A. students need to remember too much in their AP courses.
B.AP courses pose a big challenge to unprepared students.
C. the secret to success in AP courses is to keep pushing yourself.
D. average students don’t deserve their places in AP courses.
C
Technology is supposed to make our lives easier, allowing us todo things more quickly and efficiently. But too often it seems to make things harder. This increase in complexity, often called "feature creep," costs consumers time, but it also costs business money. Product returns in the U.S. cost a hundred billion dollars a year, and a recent study by Elke den Ouden, of Philips Electronics, found that at least half of returned products have nothing wrong with them. Consumers just couldn't figure out how to use them. Companies now know a great deal about problems of usability and consumer behavior, so why is it that feature creep proves unstoppable?
In part, fieature creep is the product of the so-called internal-audience problem: the people who design and sell product are not the ones who buy and use them, and what engineers and marketers think is important is not necessarily what's best for consumers. The engineers tend not to notice when more options make a product less usable. And marketing and sales departments see each additional feature as a new selling point, and anew way to attract customers.
You might think, then, that companies could avoid fieature creep by just paying attention to what customers really want. But that's where the trouble begins, because although consumers find overloaded gadgets（配件）unmanageable,they also find them attractive. It turns out that when we look at a new product in a store we tend to think that the more features there are, the better. It is only once we get the product home and try to use it that we realize the virtues of simplicity.
It seems strange that we don't expect feature tiredness and thus avoid it. But, as numerous studies have shown, people are not, in general, good at predicting what will make them happy in the future. As a result, we will pay more for more features because we systematically overestimate how often we'll use them. We also overestimate our ability to figure out how a complicated product works.
The fact that buyers want bells and whistles but users want something clear and simple creates an unusual problem for companies. A product that doesn't have enough features may fail to catch our eye in the store. But a product with too many features is likely to annoy consumers.
8. What does the first paragraph mainly discuss?
A. The benefits brought by the advanced technology.
B. The recent study conducted by Elke den Ouden.
C. The loss caused by the feature creep of technology.
D. Many problems of usability known by the consumers.
9. Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?
A. It is the audience problem that leads to feature creep.
B. What matters to designers and marketers is not good for consumers.
C. Feature creep brings blessings to the people in marketing and sales.
D. The engineers will not pay attention to the quality of the product
10. What do we know about the buyers in paragraph 4?
A. They are deeply convinced that all the products work in simple way.
B. They are fed up with the more and more features of the products.
C. They are too confident of their ability to use the complicated products.
D. They are quite clear about the products which will make them happy.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Saying No to Feature Creep is No Easy Thing
B. Feature-heavy Products in Demand
C. The More Features, the Better
D. Simplicity Outweighs Complexity
D
These days, football is one of the most popular sports in the world. Given that Neil Armstrong wanted to take a football to the Moon, we could even say that it is also the most popular sport out of this world! The history of the game goes back over two thousand years to Ancient China. It was then known as cuju (kick ball), a game using a ball of animal skins with hair inside. Goals were hung in the air. Football as we know it today started inGreat Britain, where the game was given new rules.
That football is such a simple game to play is perhaps the basis of its popularity. It is also a game that is very cheap to play. You don’t need expensive equipment; even the ball doesn’t have to cost much money. All over the world you can see kids playing to their hearts’ content with a ball made of plastic bags.
Another factor behind football’s global popularity is the creativity and excitement on the field. It is fun enough to attract millions of people. You do not have to be a fan to recognize the skill of professional players or to feel the excitement of a game ending with a surprising twist.
What’s more, football has become one of the best ways for people to communicate: it does not require words, but everyone understands it. It breaks down walls and brings people together on and off the field.
“Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, ...” said Bill Shankly, the famous footballer and manager. “I can tell you with certainty it is much, much more important than that.” This might sound funny, but one only has to think about the Earth to realize that our planet is shaped like a football.
12. What can we know from paragraph one?
A. Some people like to play football on the Moon.
B. The game called cuju was given new rules today.
C. Cuju is different from football as we know it today.
D. Many people like playing a ball made of plastic bags.
13. According to the author, there are ________ reasons why football became so popular in the world.
A. 3
B. 4
C. 5
D. 6
14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Football is round.
B. Football is more than just a sport.
C. Our planet is shaped like a football.
D. What Bill Shankly said sounds funny.
15. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To talk about the history of football.
B. To express his/her love of football.
C. To explain why football is such a popular game.
D. To prove that he/she is a professional football fan.

Aram and Rossi’s Bakery
Walking along the narrow brick sidewalk, Aram took a deep breath. The air smelled of lemons and baked bread and coffee, coming from Rossi’s Italian Bakery. He was almost there.
Aram still couldn’t believe his luck. All his friends were working boring summer jobs—waiting tables and babysitting. And here he was, about to start as an actual baker’s assistant, doing what he loved. It was all thanks to his Aunt Rita. She knew Mrs Rossi and had arranged everything. It was the perfect experience for his future career. Rossi’s Bakery, he was sure, would one day be known as the place where he got his start.
Ah, here he was—the bakery. A faded wooden sign over the door read “Rossi’s Bakery.” Aram straightened his shoulders and entered. Mrs Rossi was sitting at the counter, looking old and wise. Aram greeted her and stuck out his hand. Mrs Rossi looked at it for a second before turning around and waving him inside. “I’m ready to learn everything,” Aram said.
“Great. Let’s start with the cash register,” Mrs Rossi said, “because that’s what you’ll be doing.” She showed him how to use the cash register. It wasn’t hard. The pastry trays were all marked by price, and there weren’t that many choices anyway. “That’s it?” Aram said, his heart sinking. “But when do we bake?”
“Bake? I order wholesale now. No more baking. I’m too old.” Then Mrs Rossi silently held up her hands. Aram
took in her knotted, swollen fingers, and he understood. A wave of disappointment struck him. Sadness overwhelmed him so suddenly that he couldn’t think of a word to say.
He sighed, and Mrs Rossi sighed, too. “I used to bake it all. Bread and cakes. And no one did it better than me. But that was when these things worked,” said Mrs Rossi holding up her hands once more and glancing across the shelves filled with empty bottles labelled with names of the various ingredients (配料) she once used. Suddenly she came alive, waving her arthritic (关节炎的) hands. “People used to line up around the corner. Everyone wanted my baked bread.”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Then a thought occurred to Aram that he could ask Mrs Rossi to teach him.
