But the 17-vear-o1d achieved a surprising clean sweep—he was accepted to every Ivy League (常春藤)schoo1.“I am so lucky,"Roias told The Orange County Register on Saturday.“When I got all eight,it was a blessing and a curse because I had to choose.I was excited and scared and everything atthe same time.”The first call came from Yale University in February.Within weeks calls,emails and letters followed from the other seven universities.Rojas also was accepted by Stanford University and two nearby schools,the University of California,Irvine,and California State University,Fullerton.He is one of four children of Raul Rojas,59,and wife,Mafia,56,who moved to Fullerton from Jalisco,Mexico,in the early 1980s.A national speech and debate champion,Rojas reasoned that if he applied to the eight Ivy League schools,he might get into one.Sal Tinajero,Rojas’speech and debate coach at Fullerton,told the newspaper that Rojas is a hardworking self-starter who thrives(茁壮成长) on competition.“His biggest motivation for speech and debate was his parents to know that their hard work meant something,”Tinajero said.After visiting several campuses,he settled on Yale,which costs $64,000 a year with room and board.He is responsible for$6,000;Yale scholarships and federal grant money cover the rest.He’ll mostly take it easy during the summer before heading to Yale in late August.He’s considering majoring in Latin American studies and perhaps a career as a lawyer or in international affairs.24.What do we know about Fernando Rojas from Paragraph l?A.His schooling stopped in the eighth grade.B.He often did some cleaning in the schoo1.C.People were confident that he would be successful.D.His admission to famous universities was completely unexpected.25.How many universities accepted Rojas altogether?A.11.

D.Yale is responsible for all his cost.CIf your job invo1ves standing for several hours at a time,then this innovative(创新的) Archelis chair is just the product you’ve been waiting f or. The strap—on wearable chair effectively enables you sit while you’re standing.Technically,Archelis isn’t really a chair.It's more like a leg brace that wraps around your buttocks and 1egs,helping you choose a stance(站姿)that’s more comfortaable than standing upright.You can lock the device at various positions to adjust the angle of you ankle and knee joints.Once you select the position of your choice,you’11 experience the relaxation of sitting without actually being seated.The device distributes the pressure over your shin and thigh,reducing overall muscle and joint fatigue.Archelis is made entirely of carbon parts,which are flexible and comfortable for use over 1ong periods of time.It does not require batteries or power too perate.It was originally developed tohelp surgeons rest their legs while performing long surgeries,but it is also expected to appeal to people in other professions like teaching,hospitality,or factory work.Developed by Nitto,a Japanese company that makes all kinds of model,in cooperation with Chiba university’s Center for Frontier Medical Engineering,Hiroaki Nishimura Design, and Japan Polymer Technology,the product is still in development and is expetcted to hit the market later this year.The concept of wearable chair isn’t entirely new.In fact,Swiss start—up Noonee also has a similar concept called Chairless Chair,a hyd raulic(水力的)powered device that provides lower body support to people who have to stand upright for long periods of time.Archelis looks much cooler,though.28.What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us about Archelis?A.What it looks like.B.How it works.C.When it is most effective.D.Why it is put into use.29.Which of the following best describes Archelis?A.F1exible and comfortable.B.New and expensiveC.Wearable and inconvenient.D.Innovative and productive30.In what aspect is Archelis similar to Chairless Chair?A.Neither of them is coo1.B.They are both operated by electricity.C.They are only developed for use in hospital.D.Thev help you relax while standing.31.What can be inferred from the text?A.Chairless Chair is more comfortable. B.The idea of Archelis is first created.C.Archelis hasn’t been put into production.D.Archelis will be practical in every field.DIt was once the comerstone of polite communication—but it seems that among today’s children letter writing is a dying art.More than a quarter of seven to 14-year-olds have not written a letter in the past year, and one in ten has never written one,according to a new survey.But the study by World Vision to mark its National Letter Writing Day found that in the previous week half of youngsters had written an e-mail or posted a quick message on a social networking site.“Handwritten letters are much more personal than electronic communication,”said child education expert Sue Palmer,author of Toxic Childhood.“If children do not write or receive letters they miss out on key developmental benefits.”“By going to the trouble of physically committing words to paper,the writer shows their investment of time and effort in a relationship.That’s why we tend to hang on to personal letters as keepsakes(纪念品).The effort of writing is a very real one for a child.Painstakingly manoeuvring the pencil across the page,thinking of the best words to convey a message, struggling with spelling and punctuation,it's an effort worth making,because it's only through practice that we become truly literate(能读会写)—and literacy is the hallmark of human civilization.”BBC broadcaster and former headteacher,Roy Noble,said while he can understand that this generation of children use texts and e-mail to communicate,he believes you can’t beat an old —fashioned letter for that personal touch.“It’s easy to see why children are getting out of the habit of writing letters,but there isa certain charm that comes with a letter arriving in the post among the usual brown envelopes and circulars.”he said.“I think it is important for children to know how to set out a letter, with the correct terms for personal and professional occasions.”32.What does the study by World Vision show?A.National Letter Writing Day is coming.B.More children take up writing letters.C.Letter writing is popular with youngsters.D.The art of letter writing is fading away.33.According to Sue Palmer,__________.A.personal letters can be kept as keepsakesB.1etter writing is important for children’s developmentC.electronic communication is more personalD.1iteracy plays no role in a relationship34.What does the underlined word“manoeuvring”in Paragraph 4 mean?A.Holding. B.Carving. C.Moving.D.Breaking.35.What’s the attitude of Roy Noble towards electronic communication?A.Understandable. B.Skeptical. C.Negative.D.Pessimistic.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)Growing Minds Need Greener SpacesIt is not a secret that spending time outdoors is good for us.The more we learn about the benefits of being in nature,the more sense it makes to get outside.36 New research suggests that kids may learn better when they are surrounded by greener spaces.Green spaces are spaces filled with Vegetation—like trees,flowers and other plants.But these days,outdoor time is competing for a child’s attention with indoor activities. Children may find it difficult to resist computers,television and electronic gaines.37 All this indoor activity can hurt a child’s physical and mental health.Doctor Pavam Dadvalld and his team at the Centre for Rese arch and Environmental Epidemiology in Barcelona study the environment effects on health and learning.The researchers used information from satellites to learn how much green space surrounded each schoo1.Over one year,the children took computerized tests fourtimes. 38 They found that the children with higher contact with green space had better ability to memorize.They were also mo re attentive.39 More trees means less air pollution.40 Lisa Freund is an expert in child psychology f or the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.She says more studies are needed to learn the reasons that vegetation in and around schools improves mental ability.A.They measured memory and attention span.B.This could be especially important for school children.C.Approximately one half of the world population lives in cities.D.The question of why green spaces affect learning is a new one.E.The researchers created mathematical models to compare the amount of vegetation.F.So,in many pans of the world children are spending less and less time outdoors.G.The research suggests good air quality is the main reason for the results.第三部分英语知识运用(共两节,满分45分)第一节完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)The little country schoolhouse was heated by an old-fashioned coal stove.A little boy had the job of starting the fire and 41 the room before his teacher and classmates arrived.

A(2015•山东省泰安市高三下学期一模诊断测试)Exhausted,covered in mud and desperately hungry,a team of Swedish athletes sat down for a meal as they prepared to take on a dangerous 20-mile trek through the Ecuadorian rainforest.As they opened their canned meat, a tired Mikael Lindnord noticed a miserable stray dog staring at him out of the corner of his eye.Feeling sorry for him,he fed the dog a meatball and thought nothing of it,but as the team stood up to continue their race the animal started to follow them—and he didn’t stop.As the group of four navigated the final two stages of the 430-mile Adventure Racing World Championship,the dog befriended them and was eventually given the name Arthur.Every tiring task the team face,Arthur would do the same. He swam alongside them while they kayaked down rivers,dragged himself up hills during hikes and pulled through knee—deep mud during treks.Even when the team tried to get rid of their new member out of concerns for his safety—he refused to leave. This meant when he was tired they stopped for a break and when he got stuck in the mud they pulled him out.After six days the team finished the race,and the dog had suffered. They therefore decided to take him to a vet(兽医)while still in South America to have him checked out.During that time Lindord thought to himself that after their experience,they could not leave Arthur,so he decided to adopt him and take him back to Sweden. He applied to the Swedish Board of Agriculture and was made to wait to see if his application was successful. After a tense few days,the team arrived at the airport with Arthur and boarded the plane with him back home.Lindord said:“I came to Ecuador to win the World Championship. Instead,I got a new friend. ”21. Why did the team try to get rid of the dog during the race?A. They were concerned about his safety.B. They couldn’t afford the race with him.C. The dog was a burden to the team.D. The dog couldn’t follow the team successfully.22. Which of the following can best describe the team?A. Friendly and caring.B. Helpful and generous.C. Risky and harsh.D. Cautious and sensitive.B(2015•江苏省南通市第一次调研测试)The time-honored lamp and lantern business in Pingyao county, Shanxi province was popular back when there were large festivities or celebrations and corporations, institutions and government offices needed lanterns to decorate their halls and streets. Then the central government started calling for budget cuts, and no unnecessary celebrations, so the industry was staring at a depressed market and a number of enterprises just shut down and thePingyao faced a challenge. But, now it is on an innovative path that has led to success and the market downtown has passed and it is seeing a second peak.It has stopped using the mass production lines that targeted big festivals and has turned instead to traditional lantern arts and culture and brought in new technology and developed new products to meet diverse demands from customers all across the country.Li Xiaopan, head of one shop, says that they have turned from single-product groups to arts and crafts and are “making culture ” instead of just products. Previously, they only catered to Shanxi culture, but now they embrace Fujian, Jiangsu, Zhejiang,and Taiwan cultures as well and even got the invitation from the city of Taichung, Taiwan to take part in 2015 lantern show during the Spring Festival there. And, Li goes on, even though this may not bring in big profits, it could be a good way to increase their influence through cultural exchanges.In their research, they also discovered a friend among museums and tourist spots that valued Chinese civilization and culture so they considered combining the traditional lantern business with tourism as another pathway and are now sorting through all kinds of historical materials and preparing for indoor exhibitions by cooperating with museums and exhibition centers.So, it looks, as if, in the battle for the market, this crafts shop has finally come out a winner.23.The lamp and lantern industry declined after _______.A. the prices went up sharply some years agoB. big festivals were celebrated in more waysC. we started to correct unhealthy social trendD. They lost attraction to their former customers24. What has mainly helped lead to a new boom in the business?A. Improving product quality.B. Adjusting managing strategyC. Designing beautiful patternsD. Advertising products widely25.Which is the main factor in Li’s crafts shop winning the cooperation?A. Their techniqueB. Their talentC. Their creativityD. Their devotion26. One of the purpose of the new story is probably_______.A. To provide an example for other business to follow.B. To ask more people to take part in 2015 lantern showC. To introduce a good lamp and lantern shop to readersD. To call for a yet more booming market in the businessC(2015•山东省泰安市高三下学期一模诊断测试)Cambridge graduates are the most employable in the world,according to a global league table.The ancient university is the best at producing graduates who are‘ready to work’,a poll of major employers found.Oxford slipped to fourth place in the rankings having taken top spot last year.Harvard and Yale—part of the US‘Ivy League’of universities—were second and third respectively.Five British universities were ranked in the top 20—one more than last year—and 12 were in the full list of 150.But the UK as a country came third—behind the US and Germany—when companies were asked to name the best nation for producing work—ready graduates.The table—the Global Employability(就业能力)University Ranking published by the International New York Times—also showed that universities in Asian countries were rapidly gaining ground on their western counterparts (对手).Asian universities claimed 20 percent of the top 150 places in 2014 compared with only 10 percent when the tables were first published in 2010.The other British universities in the top 20 were University College London,in 14th place,Imperial College London,in 15th,and Edinburgh,18th.The table showed the gap between a small number of top UK universities and less famous institutions.Laurent Dupasquier,managing partner at Emerging,a French human resources consultancy,said:“The top tier players.global brands (which tend to be all American and British).continue to lead,while other Anglo—Saxon universities,those that are mainly regional players,tend to develop less well,with an average of five places lost in comparison with last year.”“Like the Premier League(英超联赛),the champions have an international community of students and think internationally,unlike their more locally oriented counterparts.”The table was made following a survey of 2,500 major companies in 20 countries.Employers were asked to rank universities against a range of criteria including their production of graduates who are ready to work and their links with business.The study claimed that‘the days of ivory towers are over’.27.Which university had the best work-ready graduates last year?

To rent a bike, you simply use your membership card at a Nice Ride bike station. Members can rent one of 1,200 bikes from 138 stations throughout Minnesota's largest city. People use the Nice Ride bikes to go to work, to go out on business, or just to enjoy the city’s many bike paths.The rise of bike-share programs like Nice Ride is encouraging more people than ever to choose biking over driving. Rising gas prices and concerns about the environment have also gotten people todust off their bike helmets, pump air into flat tires, and hit the road.Why ride? Not only is biking good exercise, but switching from a car to a bike also reduces the amount of pollution in the air. Carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas linked to climate change, is one of the many polluting substances that come out of a car's tall pipe.Bike-share systems are found around the world in cities like London, Paris, Barcelona, and Melbourne, Australia. The largest program-with 70,000 bikes-is in Wuhan, China.To make roads friendlier to non-motorists, the U. S. Department of Transportation has invested more than a billion dollars in cycling and pedestrian projects in recent years. The money went toward building thousands of miles of on-street bike lanes and bike-and pedestrian-only passages called green ways.31. If one wants to use the bike, it's a must to __________.A. give away a bicycleB. know Nice Ride wellC. pay the cost in advanceD. get a membership card32. Which of the following can people do with the bikes?A. Earn a living.B. Enjoy bikeways.C. Compete in a race.D. Rent them out to others.33. Paragraph 4 is mainly about _______ .A. benefits of bikingB. pollution caused by carsC. methods to use the bikesD. ways to reduce pollution34. Which of the following is true of Nice Ride?A. It will take the place of taxi companies.B. China has better public bike systems.C. It attracts more people to choose biking.D. The government lacks money to support it.35. The author's purpose in writing this text is to _______ _.A. spread bike-share programsB. seek advice for Nice RideC. compare Nice Ride with librariesD. introduce the public bike system第二节(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AExhausted,covered in mud and desperately hungry,a team of Swedish athletes sat down for a meal as they prepared to take on a dangerous 20-mile trek through the Ecuadorian rainforest.As they opened their canned meat,a tired Mikael Lindnord noticed a miserable stray dog staring at him out of the corner of his eye.Feeling sorry for him,he fed the dog a meatball and thought nothing of it,but as the team stood up to continue their race the animal started to follow them—and he didn’t stop.As the group of four navigated the final two stages of the 430-mile Adventure Racing World Championship,the dog befriended them and was eventually given the name Arthur.Every tiring task the team face,Arthur would do the same.He swam alongside them while they kayaked down rivers,dragged himself up hills during hikes and pulled through knee—deep mud during treks.Even when the team tried to get rid of their new member out of concerns for his safety—he refused to leave.This meant when he was tired they stopped for a break and when he got stuck in the mud they pulled him out.After six days the team finished the race,and the dog had suffered.They therefore decided to take him to a vet(兽医)while still in South America to have him checked out.During that time Lindord thought to himself that after their experience,they could not leave Arthur,so he decided to adopt him and take him back to Sweden.He applied to the Swedish Board of Agriculture and was made to wait to see if his application was successful.After a tense few days,the team arrived at the airport with Arthur and boarded the plane with him back home.Lindord said:“I came to Ecuador to win the World Championship.Instead,I got a new friend.”21.After meeting the dog,the team ______________.A.abandoned the dog immediately B.fed the dog with enough foodC.adopted the dog for convenience D.continued the race with the dog22.Why did the team try to get rid of the dog during the race?A.They were concerned about his safety.B.They couldn’t afford the race with him.C.The dog was a burden to the team.D.The dog couldn’t follow the team successfully.23.Which of the following can best describe the team?A.Friendly and caring.B.Helpful and generous.C.Risky and harsh.D.Cautious and sensitive.24.What can we infer from the text?A.The dog was sad to have suffered from the race.B.The team won the World Championship many times.C.Lindord was overjoyed to befriend the dog.D.The team felt tense to take Arthur to the airport.BAmazon just released its list of the 10 best-selling books of 2014,and chances all you’ve already seen people reading them on the train.It's not too late to read—or reread—the bestsellers of the year.The following are the top four of them.“The Invention of Wings”by Sue Monk KidSet in the south in the early 1800s,this Oprah Book Club book follows the complicated relationship between Handful,a slave,and Sarah,her owner,as they grow up together from childhood.Their confusing friendship,in the face of politics and societal norms,becomes a beautiful and difficult thing to watch as it changes over time.“Gray Mountain”by John GrishamWhen the economic recession(萧条)causes Samantha Kofer to lose her Wall Street law firm job.she takes a job at a legal aid clinic in Virginia until she can hopefully get back to big law.But while her new job,for the first time,puts her front and center in the court room,it also puts her in terrible danger.“All the Light We Cannot See”by Anthony DoerrThis National Book Award Finalist follows both Marie—Laure,a blind French girl living with her father during World War II,and Werner,a German orphan with a skill for building and fixing radios.As their paths cross,this moving story will question how life and art are influenced by war.“Twenty Seconds Ago(Jack Reacher,#19)”by Lee ChildAfter years of being out of the Army,Jack Reacher is pulled back into service at the CIA and State Department after someone tried to shoot the president of France.In Child’s latest Jack Reacher installment(系列丛书),Reacher finds himself face to face with all old enemy and old memories.25.If you prefer emotional(情感)stories,you’ll choose _______________.A.The Invention of Wings and Gray MountainB.All the Light We Cannot See and Twenty Seconds AgoC.The Invention of Wings and All the Light We Cannot SeeD.Twenty Seconds Ago and Gray Mountain26.What is Samantha Kofer?A.A lawyer.b.A doctor.C.A merchant.D.An official.27.Which book has won the top honor?A.The Invention of Wings B.All the Light We Cannot SeeC.Gray Mountain D.Twenty Seconds Ago28.What type of writing is this text?A.A test report. B.An announcement.C.A book review.D.Introduction of books.CA team of scientists from University of Freiburg in Germany are developing a shoe with a sensor to automatically tie its laces(鞋带)that could be taken off when users click their heels together.It’s been 26 years since we saw them magically tightening Marty McFly’s Nike boots in the film Back to The Future.Now,self-tying shoelaces could actually become a reality this year,proving right one of the film’s fantastical predictions for what 2015 would be like.Engineers have designed a shoe that can automatically lace up,adjusting itself to the shape of your foot.Simply slip the controller on and pressure sensors will tell the ‘smart shoe’ when your foot is in position,triggering(触发)a tiny motor in the heel that pulls the laces tight.When you want to take off the shoes,you click your heels together twice and the motor will release a spring(弹簧)in the shoe’s tongue,which loosens the laces enough for you to slip them off.And the invention doesn’t even need to be plugged in to charge or have its battery re placed because it runs on power generated by the swing of your foot as you walk·Engineer K1evis Ylli,of the Institute for Micromachining and Information Technology in southern Gemany,said the shoes could help a variety of different people.“One focus is that it could be used in shoes for elderly people who have mobility problems,”he said.“But it could also work for children,or as a lifestyle product.”.The design,which is still in a prototype(雏形)stage,cleverly gets the energy of the foot’s swing when opposing magnets in each shoe move past each other. It then uses that power to charge a battery.An hour of walking is enough to tighten the laces once,and it requires no energy to undo the shoes because that relies on the spring alone.29.Which of the following can be the best title of the text?A.A fantastical prediction B.A great invention in GermanyC.A shoe with self-tying laces D.A popular lifestyle product30.What can we learn about the shoes?A.They can automatically take off.B.They can adjust themselves to your foot.C.They need to be charged once.D.They have been in design for 26 years.31.From the last paragraph we can know ____________.A.the shoes have been put into useB.the shoes need power to take offC.the shoes promise to be popularD.how the shoes work to produce energyDCambridge graduates are the most employable in the world,according to a global league table.The ancient university is the best at producing graduates who are‘ready to work’,a poll of major employers found.Oxford slipped to fourth place in the rankings having taken top spot last year.Harvard and Yale—part of the US‘Ivy League’of universities—were second and third respectively.Five British universities were ranked in the top 20—one more than last year—and 12 were in the full list of 150.But the UK as a country came third—behind the US and Germany—when companies were asked to name the best nation for producing work—ready graduates.The table—the Global Employability(就业能力)University Ranking published by the International New York Times—also showed that universities in Asian countries were rapidly gaining ground on their western counterparts (对手).Asian universities claimed 20 percent of the top 150 places in 2014 compared with only 10 percent when the tables were first published in 2010.The other British universities in the top 20 were University College London,in 14th place,Imperial College London,in 15th,and Edinburgh,18th.The table showed the gap between a small number of top UK universities and less famous institutions.Laurent Dupasquier,managing partner at Emerging,a French human resources consultancy,said:“The top tier players.global brands (which tend to be all American and British).continue to lead,while other Anglo—Saxon universities,those that are mainly regional players,tend to develop less well,with an average of five places lost in comparison with last year.”“Like the Premier League(英超联赛),the champions have an international community of students and think internationally,unlike their more locally oriented counterparts.”The table was made following a survey of 2,500 major companies in 20 countries.Employers were asked to rank universities against a range of criteria including their production of graduates who are ready to work and their links with business.The study claimed that‘the days of ivory towers are over’.32.Which university had the best work-ready graduates last year?
