particular skills and practise how to behave in an interview or how to find all internship(实习).In some countries, schools have programs to help students onto the path to the United States, however, such programs are still few and far between.Research shows that if high schools providecareer-related courses, students are likely to get higher earnings in later students are more likely to stay in school, graduate and go on to higher education.In Germany, students as young as 13 and 14 are expected to do companies work with schools to make sure that young people get the education they need for future employment.But in America, education reform programs focus on how well students do in exams instead of bringing them into contact with the working Education school professor Robert Schwartz has criticized education reformers for trying to place all graduates directly on the four-year college argued that this approach leaves the country’s most vulnerable(易受影响的) kids with no jobs and no

Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable c10thing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chineseaesthetics 美学on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences. "China is impossible to overlook," says Hill. "Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion - they are central to its movement." Of course, not only are today's top Western designers being influenced by China - some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese. "Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galliano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs - and beating them hands down in design and sales," adds Hill.For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. "The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers," she says. "China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China its influences, its direction, its breathtaking c1othes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways."4. What can we learn about the exhibition in York?A. It promoted the sales of artworks.B. It attracted a large number of visitors.C. It showed ancient Chinese c1othes.D. It aimed to introduce Chinese models.5. What does HiIl say about Chinese women?A. They are setting the fashion.B. They start many fashion campaigns.C. They admire super models.D. They do business all over the world6. What do the underlined words "taking on" in paragraph 4 meanA. learning fromB. looking down onC. working withD. competing against7. What can be a suitable title for the textA. Young Models Selling Dreams to the WorldB. A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New YorkC. Differences Between Eastern and Western AestheticsD. Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion TrendsBefore he 1830s， most newspapers were sold through annual subscriptions in America, usually $8 to $ 10 a year. Today $8 0 1' $10 seems a small amount of money, but at that time these amounts were forbidding to most citizens. Accordingly, newspapers were read almost only by rich people in politics or the trades. In addition, most newspapers had little in them that would appeal to a mass audience. They were dull and visually forbidding. But the revolution that was taking place in the 1830s would change all thatThe trend, then, was toward the "penny paper" - a term referring to papers made widely available to the public. It meant any inexpensive newspaper; perhaps more importantly it meant newspapers that could be bought in single copies on the street.This development did not take place ,overnight. It had been possible (but not easy) to buy single copies of newspapers before 1830, but this usually meant the reader had to go down to the printer's office to purchase a copy. Street sales were almost unknown. However, within a few years, street sales of newspapers would be commonplace in eastern cities. At first the price of single copies was seldom a penny - usually two or three cents was charged - and some of the older well-known papers charged five or six cents. But the phrase "penny paper" caught the public's fancy, and soon there would be papers that did indeed sell for only a penny.This new trend of newspapers for "the man on the street" did not begin well. Some of the early ventures (企业)were immediate failures. Publishers already in business, people who were owners of successful papers, had little desire to change the tradition. It took a few youthful and daring businessmen to get the ball rolling8. Which of the following best describes newspapers in America before the 1830sA. Academic.B. Unattractive.C. Inexpensive.D. Confidential9. What did street sales mean to newspapersA. They would be priced higher.B. They would disappear from cities.C. They could have more readers.D. They could regain public trust.10. Who were the newspapers of the new trend targeted atA. Local politicians.B. Common people.C. Young publishers.D. Rich businessmen.11. What can we say about the birth of the penny paperA. It was a difficult process.B.It was a temporary success.C. It was a robber of the poor.D. It was a disaster for printers.DMonkeys seem to have a way with numbers.A team of researchers trained three Rhesus monkeys to associate 26 clearly different symbols consisting of numbers and selective letters with 0-25 drops of water or juice as a reward. The researchers then tested how the monkeys combined - or added - the symbols to get the reward.Here's how Harvard Medical School scientist Margaret Livingstone, who led the team, described the experiment: In their cages the monkeys were provided with touch screens. On one part of the screen, a symbol would appear, and on the other side two symbols inside circle were shown. For example, the number 7 would flash on one side of the screen and the other end would have 9 and 8. If the monkeys touched the left side of the screen they would be rewarded with seven drops of water or juice; if they went for the circle, they would be rewarded with the sum of the numbers - 17 in this example.After running hundreds of tests, the researchers noted that the monkeys would go for the higher values more than half the time, indicating that they were performing a calculation, not just memorizing the value of each combination.When the team examined the results of the experiment more closely, they noticed that the monkeys tended to underestimate (低估) a sum compared with a single symbol when the two were close in value - sometimes choosing, for example, a 13 over the sum of 8 and 6. The underestimation was systematic: When adding two numbers, the monkeys always paid attention to the larger of the two, and then added only action (小部分) of the smaller number to it."This indicates that there is a certain way quantity is represented in their brains," Dr. Livingstone says. "But in this experiment what they're doing is paying more attention to the big number than the little one."12. What did the researchers do to the monkeys before testing themA. They fed them.B. They named them.C. They trained them.D. They measured them.13 . How did the monkeys get their reward in the experiment?A.By drawing a circle.B.By touching a screen.C.By watching videos.D.By mixing two drinks.14. What did Livingstone's team find about the monkeysA. They could perform basic addition.C. They could memorize numbers easily.B. They could understand simple words.D. They could hold their attention for long.15. ln which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A. Entertainment.B. Health.C. Education.D.

For months, the two armies had been staying on opposite banks of a narrow river. The Confederate（南方联盟）troops were led by perhaps (21) _______ (honored) military tactician（战略家）in American history, General Robert E. Lee. The Union （北方联盟）soldiers were led by “Fighting”Joe Hooker.In appearance, personality, and lifestyle, these men were nearly perfect opposites. Lee, an older man in poor health with a gray beard, had a solemn, measured character. Hooker was a blond, broad-shouldered young man (22) _______ pride over his appearance was but one aspect of his self-centeredness. Whereas Lee was loyal and principled, Hooker was known for his rollicking enjoyment of both women and whiskey. Despite the fact that the Confederacy (23) _______ (win) the last four major battles and the Union soldiers were starving, (24) _______(exhaust), and demoralized, Hooker proclaimed, “My plans are perfect. And when I start to carry them out, (25) _______ God have mercy on Bobby Lee, for I shall have none.”Why was Hooker so confident? Hooker had used spies, analysts, and even hot air balloons to compile a vast amount of intelligence about Lee’s army. He had already been aware, for example, (26) _______ Lee had only 61,000 men to Hooker’s own 134,000. Supported by his superior numbers, Hooker secretly moved 70,000 of his men fifteen miles up and across the river, and then ordered them to sneak back down to position themselves (27) _______ Lee’s army. In effect, Hooker had cut off the Confederate soldiers in front and behind. They were trapped. Satisfied with his advantage, Hooker became convinced that Lee’s only option was to retreat to Richmond, thus (28) _______ (assure) a Union victory.Yet Lee, despite his disadvantages of both numbers and position, did not retreat. Instead, he moved his troops into position to attack. Union soldiers who tried to warn Hooker that Lee was on the offensive (29) _______ (dismiss) as cowards. Having become convinced that Lee had no choice but (30) _______ (retreat), Hooker began to ignore reality. When Lee’s army attacked the Union soldiers at 5:00 p.m., they were eating supper, completely unprepared for battle. They abandoned their rifles and fled as Lee’s troops came shrieking out of the brush, bayonets drawn. Against all odds, Lee won the Battle ofChancellorsville, and Hooker’s forces withdrew in defeat.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AThe lives of the Ancient Greeks revolved（运转）around Eris, a concept by which they defined the universe. They believed that the world existedin a condition of opposites. If there was good, then there was evil；if there was love, then there was hatred; joy, then sorrow; war, then peace; and so on. The Greeks believed that good Eris occurred when one held a balanced outlook on life and coped with problems as they arose. It was a kind of ease of living that came from trying to bring together the great opposing forces in nature. Bad Eris was evident in the violent conditions that ruled men’s lives. Although these things were found in nature and sometimes could not be controlled, it was believed that bad Eris occurred when one ignored a problem, letting it grow larger until it destroyed not only that person, but his family as well. The Ancient Greeks saw Eris as a goddess: Eris, the Goddess of Discord, better known as Trouble.One myth that expresses this concept of bad Eris deals with the marriage of King Peleus and the river goddess Thetis. Zeus, the supreme ruler, learns that Thetis would bear a child strong enough to destroy its father. Not wanting to father his own ruin, Zeus convinces Thetis to marry a human, a mortal（凡人）whose child could never challenge the gods. He promises her, among other things, the greatest wedding in all of Heaven and Earth and allows the couple to invite whomever they please. This is one of the first mixed marriages of Greek Mythology and the lesson learned from it still applies today. They do invite everyone . . . except Eris, the Goddess of Discord. In other words, instead of facing the problems brought on by a mixed marriage, they turn their backs on them. Theyrefused to deal directly with their problems and the result is tragic. In her fury（狂怒）, Eris arrives, ruins the wedding, causes a jealous argument between the three major goddesses over a golden apple, and sets in place the conditions that lead to the Trojan War. The war would take place 20 years in the future, but it would result in the death of the only child of the bride and groom, Achilles. Eris would destroy the parents’hopes for their future, leaving the couple with no legal heirs (继承人) to the throne. Hence, when we are told, “If you don’t invite trouble, trouble comes,”it means that if we don’t deal with our problems, our problems will deal with us . . . with a revenge! It is easy to see why the Greeks considered many of their myths learning myths, for this one teaches us the best way to defeat that which can destroy us.56. Bad Eris is defined in the passage as _______A. the violent conditions of life.B. the problems man encounters.C. the evil goddess who has a golden apple.D. the murderer of generations.57. Zeus married Thetis off because _______A. he needed to buy the loyalty of a great king of mankind.B. he feared the gods would create bad Eris by competing over her.C. he feared the Trojan War would be fought over her.D. he feared being a father of a boy who would kill him in the future.58. Zeus did not fear a child of King Peleus because _______A. he knew that the child could not climb Mt. Olympus and manage to kill a god.B. he knew that the child would be killed in the Trojan War which would happen in 20 years.C. he knew that no matter how strong a mortal child was, he couldn’t overthrow an immortal god.D. he knew that Thetis would always love him above everyone else.59. What does the myth in the passage want to tell us?A. Do not consider a mixed marriage.B. Do not anger the gods.C. Do not ignore the problems that arise in life.D. Do not take myths seriously.BThe National Storytelling Youth Olympics is an event where thousands of kids from grades 6 to 12 compete against each other by telling stories. It is sponsored by the Master’s Degree Program in Reading and Storytelling at East Tennessee State University. The sole purpose of this event is to promote and encourage both the art and science of storytelling among middle school and high school students. Although this event is competitive, its underlying intent and goal is to provide students acrossthe nation with a reason to practice numerous noncompetitive skills. Those skills include skillful sportsmanship , responsible behavior, and an attitude of respect for others and the storytelling genre. The eventual goal of the National Storytelling Youth Olympics is to encourage every classroom in America to discover (or rediscover) the beauty of storytelling and story performance.The National Storytelling Youth Olympics takes place usually around the first weekend in March. Students from all over the country arrive by bus, plane, or automobile in Johnson City, Tennessee. They usually arrive on Thursday or Friday. Those that arrive on Thursday take advantage of their early arrival by telling stories at local schools. On Friday, an evening meal is prepared for all contestants, coaches, and parents. Games are played, stories are told, and lifetime friendships begin. Saturday is the day of the big event. A luncheon（午餐会）is held in the afternoon so contestants can familiarize themselves with the surroundings and do a sound check.The event is divided into three categories separated by grades. Contestants are judged not only by their storytelling performance, but also by the attitude and behavior they display during the entire weekend.A winner is picked from each of the three categories; however, there is an overall winner who is granted the name of Grand Torch Bearer. This person is selected not only by the judges, but also by the contestants.After the winners have been announced, the contestants retreat back to their hotel where a celebratory ice cream party is held; and believe it or not, they tell more stories! This is what the National Storytelling Youth Olympics is all about: developing a love for the art of storytelling.56. Which of the following sets of words best describes the Grand Torch Bearer?A. competitive, ambitious, talentedB. respectful, responsible, skilledC. athletic, determined, creativeD. imaginative, individualistic, pessimistic57. Why would someone MOST LIKELY choose to attend the National Storytelling Youth Olympics?A. To refine storytelling skills while meeting new friends.B. To compete fiercely with the best storytellers in the country.C. To earn money and fame.D. To develop one’s personal skill in lecture only.58. When is dinner prepared for all contestants, coaches, and parents?A. Wednesday.B. Friday.C. Thursday.D. Saturday.CPhilosophy of Education is a label applied to the study of the purpose, process, nature and ideals of education. It can be considered a branch of both philosophy and education. Education can be defined as the teaching and learning of specific skills, and the imparting of knowledge, judgment and wisdom, and is something broader than the societal institution of education we often speak of.Many educationalists consider it a weak and imprecise field, too far removed from the practical applications of the real world to be useful. But philosophers dating back to Plato and the Ancient Greeks have given the area much thought and emphasis, and there is little doubt that their work has helped shape the practice of education over the millennia. Plato is the earliest important educational thinker, and education is an essential element in “The Republic”(his most important work on philosophy and political theory, written around 360 B.C.). In it, he advocates some rather extreme methods: removing children from their mothers’care and raising them as wards of the state, and differentiating children suitable to the various castes(社会等级), the highest receiving the most education, so that they could act as guardians of the city and care for the less able. He believed that education should be holistic（全面的）, including facts, skills, physical discipline, music and art. Plato believed that talent and intelligence is not distributed genetically and thus is to be found in children born to all classes, although his proposedsystem of selective public education for an educated minority of the population does not really follow a democratic model.Aristotle considered human nature, habit and reason to be equally important forces to be cultivated in education, the ultimate aim of which should be to produce good and virtuous citizens. He proposed that teachers lead their students systematically, and that repetition be used as a key tool to develop good habits, unlike Socrates’emphasis on questioning his listeners to bring out their own ideas. He emphasized the balancing of the theoretical and practical aspects of subjects taught, among which he clearly mentions reading, writing, mathematics, music, physical education, literature, history, and a wide range of sciences, as well as play, which he also considered important.During the period of Middle Age, the idea of Perennialism was first formulated by St. Thomas Aquinas in his work “De Magistro”. Perennialism holds that one should teach those things deemed to be of everlasting importance to all people everywhere, namely principles and reasoning, not just facts (which are apt to change over time), and that one should teach first about people, not machines or techniques. It was originally religious in nature, and it was only much later that a theory of worldly Perennialism developed.During the Renaissance（文艺复兴）, the French doubter Michel de Montaigne (1533 - 1592) was one of the first to critically look ateducation. Unusually for his time, Montaigne was willing to question the conventional wisdom of the period, calling into question the whole structure of the educational system, and the assumption that university-educated philosophers were necessarily wiser than uneducated farm workers, for example.59. Why do many educationists consider philosophy a ‘weak and imprecise field’?A. It is the practical applications of the real world.B. Its theoretical concepts are easily understood.C. It is irrelevant for education.D. It is not practically applicable.60. What is the difference between the approaches of Socrates and Aristotle?A. Aristotle felt the need for repetition to develop good habits in students; Socrates felt that students need to be constantly questioned.B. Aristotle felt the need for rote-learning; Socrates emphasized on dialogic learning.C. There was no difference.D. Aristotle emphasized on the importance of paying attention to human nature; Socrates emphasized upon science.61. According to the passage, the underlined word “Perennialism”most probably refers to something _____________A. that is unnecessary.B. that is of ceaseless importance.C. that is abstract and theoretical.D. that exists no more.62. Why did Aquinas propose a model of education which did not lay much emphasis on facts?A. Facts are not important.B. Facts do not lead to holistic education.C. Facts change with the changing times.D. Facts are frozen in time.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. These questions may well get clearer and clearer during the process of academic writing.B. The introduction should function as the hook which draws the reader in and holds his attention.C. It is a formal skill, which requires precision and accuracy, and is perfected by continuous and dedicated practice.D. If one is hesitant to answer even one of the aforementioned questions, one had better not write at all!E. It may take one a considerable period of time to know the skills of academic writing, even long after his/her college graduation.F. It is a time-consuming activity and demands patience and perseverance.The art of academic writing is not easy to master. (67) _____________________________________ Academic writing is the skilful exposition and explanation of an argument, which the writer has carefully researched and developed over a sustained period of time. (68) __________________________________ But the joy of reading and sharing with others, one’s succinctly composed piece of argument, is incomparable.Before beginning to write, the writer must ask himself a few questions –Why am I writing? What is it that I intend to share with others? Whatpurpose will my writing serve? Have I read enough about the topic or theme about which I am going to write? (69) ________________________________________ Because academic writing is a serious activity –it makes one part of a shared community of readers and writers who wish to disseminate and learn from well-argued pieces of writing.The structure of an argumentative essay should take the form of –Introduction (which should be around ten percent of the entire essay), Body (it should constitute eighty percent of the piece) and the Conclusion (again, ten per cent of the essay). (70) ______________________________________ The body should include cogent and coherently linked paragraphs and the conclusion should re-state the argument and offer a substantial ending to the piece.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.What started as a race to space between the United States and Russia has turned out to be a technological revolution that has greatly improved the quality of daily life throughout the world. Scientists at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have invented newtechnology to make space flights doable. The same technology, when applied on Earth, has produced thousands of products in the areas of health and sports that have significant impacts on our lives.Many of these improvements are in the fields of health and medicine. NASA-inspired technology fueled the great advances in the early detection of deadly diseases. For instance, computer chips designed for the Hubble telescope are used in digital imaging devices that help medical professionals detect cancer at very early stages. Eye doctors can now diagnose vision problems in very young children by using ocular screening. Ultrasound scanners, portable x-ray devices, and bone analyzers are among the medical devices developed with the help of space technology.Fogless ski goggles and special sportswear are among the hundreds of items of sports equipment inspired by NASA technology. Space technology has been applied to sports too. The running shoes that athletes use today have midsoles that act like shock absorbers and keep the runners steady while in motion. These shoes utilize the technology NASA used to design the moon boot. In golf, athletes use a new ball that employs NASA research on how to make the flight of the ball from the tee to the green faster and more accurate. In swimming, athletes can swim faster because of NASA-developed riblets in the fabric of their swimsuits. Almost all aspects of daily life continue to improve because NASA。

Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable c10thing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chineseaesthetics 美学on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences. "China is impossible to overlook," says Hill. "Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion - they are central to its movement." Of course, not only are today's top Western designers being influenced by China - some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese. "Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galliano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs - and beating them hands down in design and sales," adds Hill.For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. "The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers," she says. "China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China its influences, its direction, its breathtaking c1othes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways."4. What can we learn about the exhibition in York?A. It promoted the sales of artworks.B. It attracted a large number of visitors.C. It showed ancient Chinese c1othes.D. It aimed to introduce Chinese models.5. What does HiIl say about Chinese women?A. They are setting the fashion.B. They start many fashion campaigns.C. They admire super models.D. They do business all over the world6. What do the underlined words "taking on" in paragraph 4 mean?A. learning fromB. looking down onC. working withD. competing against7. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Young Models Selling Dreams to the WorldB. A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New YorkC. Differences Between Eastern and Western AestheticsD. Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion TrendsBefore he 1830s，most newspapers were sold through annual subscriptions in America, usually $8 to $ 10 a year. Today $8 0 1' $10 seems a small amount of money, but at that time these amounts were forbidding to most citizens. Accordingly, newspapers were read almost only by rich people in politics or the trades. In addition, most newspapers had little in them that would appeal to a mass audience. They were dull and visually forbidding. But the revolution that was taking place in the 1830s would change all thatThe trend, then, was toward the "penny paper" - a term referring to papers made widely available to the public. It meant any inexpensive newspaper; perhaps more importantly it meant newspapers that could be bought in single copies on the street.This development did not take place ,overnight. It had been possible (but not easy) to buy single copies of newspapers before 1830, but this usually meant the reader had to go down to the printer's office to purchase a copy. Street sales were almost unknown. However, within a few years, street sales of newspapers would be commonplace in eastern cities. At first the price of single copies was seldom a penny - usually two or three cents was charged - and some of the older well-known papers charged five or six cents. But the phrase "penny paper" caught the public's fancy, and soon there would be papers that did indeed sell for only a penny.This new trend of newspapers for "the man on the street" did not begin well. Some of the early ventures (企业)were immediate failures. Publishers already in business, people who were owners of successful papers, had little desire to change the tradition. It took a few youthful and daring businessmen to get the ball rolling8. Which of the following best describes newspapers in America before the 1830sA. Academic.B. Unattractive.C. Inexpensive.D. Confidential9. What did street sales mean to newspapers?A. They would be priced higher.B. They would disappear from cities.C. They could have more readers.D. They could regain public trust.10. Who were the newspapers of the new trend targeted at?A. Local politicians.B. Common people.C. Young publishers.D. Rich businessmen.11. What can we say about the birth of the penny paper?A. It was a difficult process.B.It was a temporary success.C. It was a robber of the poor.D. It was a disaster for printers.DMonkeys seem to have a way with numbers.A team of researchers trained three Rhesus monkeys to associate 26 clearly different symbols consisting of numbers and selective letters with 0-25 drops of water or juice as a reward. The researchers then tested how the monkeys combined - or added - the symbols to get the reward.Here's how Harvard Medical School scientist Margaret Livingstone, who led the team, described the experiment: In their cages the monkeys were provided with touch screens. On one part of the screen, a symbol would appear, and on the other side two symbols inside circle were shown. For example, the number 7 would flash on one side of the screen and the other end would have 9 and 8. If the monkeys touched the left side of the screen they would be rewarded with seven drops of water or juice; if they went for the circle, they would be rewarded with the sum of the numbers - 17 in this example.After running hundreds of tests, the researchers noted that the monkeys would go for the higher values more than half the time, indicating that they were performing a calculation, not just memorizing the value of each combination.When the team examined the results of the experiment more closely, they noticed that the monkeys tended to underestimate (低估) a sum compared with a single symbol when the two were close in value - sometimes choosing, for example, a 13 over the sum of 8 and 6. The underestimation was systematic: When adding two numbers, the monkeys always paid attention to the larger of the two, and then added only action (小部分) of the smaller number to it."This indicates that there is a certain way quantity is represented in their brains," Dr. Livingstone says. "But in this experiment what they're doing is paying more attention to the big number than the little one."12. What did the researchers do to the monkeys before testing them?A. They fed them.B. They named them.C. They trained them.D. They measured them.13 . How did the monkeys get their reward in the experiment?A.By drawing a circle.B.By touching a screen.C.By watching videos.D.By mixing two drinks.14. What did Livingstone's team find about the monkeys?A. They could perform basic addition.C. They could memorize numbers easily.B. They could understand simple words.D. They could hold their attention for long.15. ln which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A. Entertainment.B. Health.C. Education.D.

Accordingly, newspapers were read almost only by rich people in politics or the trades. In addition, most newspapers had little in them that would appeal to a mass audience. They were dull and visually forbidding. But the revolution that was taking place in the 1830s would change all thatThe trend, then, was toward the "penny paper" - a term referring to papers made widely available to the public. It meant any inexpensive newspaper; perhaps more importantly it meant newspapers that could be bought in single copies on the street.This development did not take place ,overnight. It had been possible (but not easy) to buy single copies of newspapers before 1830, but this usually meant the reader had to go down to the printer's office to purchase a copy. Street sales were almost unknown. However, within a few years, street sales of newspapers would be commonplace in eastern cities. At first the price of single copies was seldom a penny - usually two or three cents was charged - and some of the older well-known papers charged five or six cents. But the phrase "penny paper" caught the public's fancy, and soon there would be papers that did indeed sell for only a penny.This new trend of newspapers for "the man on the street" did not begin well. Some of the early ventures (企业)were immediate failures. Publishers already in business, people who were owners of successful papers, had little desire to change the tradition. It took a few youthful and daring businessmen to get the ball rolling8. Which of the following best describes newspapers in America before the 1830sA. Academic.B. Unattractive.C. Inexpensive.D. Confidential9. What did street sales mean to newspapers?A. They would be priced higher.B. They would disappear from cities.C. They could have more readers.D. They could regain public trust.10. Who were the newspapers of the new trend targeted at?A. Local politicians.B. Common people.C. Young publishers.D. Rich businessmen.11. What can we say about the birth of the penny paper?A. It was a difficult process.B.It was a temporary success.C. It was a robber of the poor.D. It was a disaster for printers.DMonkeys seem to have a way with numbers.A team of researchers trained three Rhesus monkeys to associate 26 clearly different symbols consisting of numbers and selective letters with 0-25 drops of water or juice as a reward. The researchers then tested how the monkeys combined - or added - the symbols to get the reward.Here's how Harvard Medical School scientist Margaret Livingstone, who led the team, described the experiment: In their cages the monkeys were provided with touch screens. On one part of the screen, a symbol would appear, and on the other side two symbols inside circle were shown. For example, the number 7 would flash on one side of the screen and the other end would have 9 and 8. If the monkeys touched the left side of the screen they would be rewarded with seven drops of water or juice; if they went for the circle, they would be rewarded with the sum of the numbers - 17 in this example.After running hundreds of tests, the researchers noted that the monkeys would go for the higher values more than half the time, indicating that they were performing a calculation, not just memorizing the value of each combination.When the team examined the results of the experiment more closely, they noticed that the monkeys tended to underestimate (低估) a sum compared with a single symbol when the two were close in value - sometimes choosing, for example, a 13 over the sum of 8 and 6. The underestimation was systematic: When adding two numbers, the monkeys always paid attention to the larger of the two, and then added only action (小部分) of the smaller number to it."This indicates that there is a certain way quantity is represented in their brains," Dr. Livingstone says. "But in this experiment what they're doing is paying more attention to the big number than the little one."12. What did the researchers do to the monkeys before testing them?A. They fed them.B. They named them.C. They trained them.D. They measured them.13 . How did the monkeys get their reward in the experiment?A.By drawing a circle.B.By touching a screen.C.By watching videos.D.By mixing two drinks.14. What did Livingstone's team find about the monkeys?A. They could perform basic addition.C. They could memorize numbers easily.B. They could understand simple words.D. They could hold their attention for long.15. ln which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A. Entertainment.B. Health.C. Education.D.

Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable c10thing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chineseaesthetics 美学on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences. "China is impossible to overlook," says Hill. "Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion - they are central to its movement." Of course, not only are today's top Western designers being influenced by China - some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese. "Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galliano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs - and beating them hands down in design and sales," adds Hill.For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. "The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers," she says. "China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China its influences, its direction, its breathtaking c1othes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways."4.

The underestimation was systematic: When adding two numbers, the monkeys always paid attention to the larger of the two, and then added only action (小部分) of the smaller number to it."This indicates that there is a certain way quantity is represented in their brains," Dr. Livingstone says. "But in this experiment what they're doing is paying more attention to the big number than the little one."12. What did the researchers do to the monkeys before testing them?A. They fed them.B. They named them.C. They trained them.D. They measured them.13 . How did the monkeys get their reward in the experiment?A.By drawing a circle.B.By touching a screen.C.By watching videos.D.By mixing two drinks.14. What did Livingstone's team find about the monkeys?A. They could perform basic addition.C. They could memorize numbers easily.B. They could understand simple words.D. They could hold their attention for long.15. ln which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A. Entertainment.B. Health.C. Education.D.

ROCK OF AGESB. BRAD GARRETT’S EDY CLUBC. MAC KING EDY MAGIC SHOWD. THE MENTALIST, GERRY MCCAMBRIDGEBIn 1943, when I was 4, my parents moved from Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, to Fairbanks, Alaska, where adventure was never far away.We arrived in the summer, just in time to enjoy the midnight sun. All that sunlight was fantastic for Mom’s vegetable garden.Working in the garden at midnight tended to throw her timing off, so she didn’t care much about my bedtime.Dad was a Railway Express agent and Mom was his clerk. That left me in a mess. I usually managed to find some trouble to get into. Once I had a little fire going in the dirt basement of a hotel. I had tried to light a barrel（桶）of paint but couldn’t really get a good fire going. The smoke got pretty bad, though, and when I made my exit, a crowd and the police were there to greet me. The policemen took my matches and drove me home.Mom and Dad were occupied in the garden and Dad told the police to keep me, and they did! I had a tour of the prison before Mom rescued me. I hadn’t turned 5 yet.As I entered kindergarten, the serious cold began to set in. Would it surprise you to know that I soon left part of my tongue on a metal handrail（栏杆） at school?As for Leonhard Seppala, famous as a dog sledder（驾雪橇者）, I think I knew him well because I was taken for a ride with his white dog team one Sunday. At the time I didn’t realize what a superstar he was, but I do remember the ride well. I was wrapped heavily and well sheltered from the freezing and blowing weather.In 1950, we moved back to Coeur d’Alene, but we got one more Alaskan adventure when Leonhard invited us eight years later by paying a visit to Idaho to attend a gathering of former neighbors of Alaska.4. What can be inferred about t he author’s family?A. His father was a cruel man.B. His parents didn’t love him.C. His parents used to be very busy.D. His mother didn’t have any jobs.5. What happened when the author was 4?A. He learned to smoke.B. He was locked in a basement.C. He was arrested by the police.D. He nearly caused a fire accident.6. Which of the following is true?A. Leonhard was good at driving dog sleds.B. The author spent his whole childhood in Alaska.C. Leo nhard often visited the author’s family after 1950.D. The author suffered a lot while taking the dog sled in Alaska.7. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?A. To look back on his childhood with adventures.B. To describe the extreme weather of Alaska.C. To express how much he misses Leonhard.D. To show off his pride in making trouble.CGrown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials will help strengthen the related knowledge and skills.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.The multiplication tables (乘法口诀表) are also an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of overlearning explains why cramming for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one’s future developme nt.8. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1?A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.D. Stories for children are easy to remember.9. The author explains the law of overlearning by _______.A. presenting research findingsB. analysing statisticsC. making a parisonD. using examples10. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is _______.A. a result of overlearningB. a special case of crammingC. a skill to deal with math problemsD. a basic step towards advanced studies11. What does the underlined word “cramming” in the last paragraph refer to?A. A way which leads to failure in college exams.B. A study method only helpful in a limited way.C. A way that will result in good memory.D. An approach to increasing students’ learning interest.DYou already know that making a good first impression can go a long way. But forget all the advice you’ve receiv ed about dressing to impress or putting on a cheesy smile. It turns out that the true secret to building a lasting connection reaches much deeper than what you wear.According to Amy Cuddy, a Harvard Business School professor who has researched first impressions for more than 15 years, everyone asks two questions when they meeting someone new: Can I trust this person? And can I respect this person?Both questions help you measure a person’s warmth and petence, respectively. But, Cuddy says, you should p ut gaining your peers’ trust over winning their respect—even in a workplace setting. “If someone you’re trying to influence doesn’t trust you, you’re not going to get very far; in fact, you might even draw suspection because you e across as a controller,” Cuddy wrote in her book Presence: Bringing Your Boldest Self to Your Biggest Challenges. “A warm, trustworthy person who is also strongly admired, but only after you’ve established trust does your strength bee a gift rather than a threat.”But that’s not t he only way you can start off on the right foot with a stranger. Your physical appearance matters, too. A xx study by psychologist Leslie Zebrowitz of Brandeis University found that people use four clues to judge your face: babyfacedness, familiarity, fitn ess, and emotional resemblance. While you can’t control all of these factors, you can improve your “emotional resemblance” by using body language that builds trust naturally.The next time you meet someone new, focus on gaining their trust—not winning them over with a firm handshake.12. What’s the main misunderstanding described in the first paragraph?A. dressing to impress.B. putting on a cheesy smile.C. making a good first impression.D. building a lasting connection.13. Which is more important in a workplace setting according to Amy Cuddy?A. gaining your peers’ trust.B. winning your peers’ respect.C. trying to influence your peers.D. drawing your peers’ suspection as a controller.14. What does Leslie Zebrowitz suggest in a xx study?A. You can control your “fitness”.B. You can control your “familiarity”.C. You can improve your “babyfacedness”.D. You can improve your “emotional resemblance”.15. What is the best title for the text?A. Judge one by a firmly-made handshakeB. Judge one by a naturally-built trustC. Judge one by the first impressionD. Judge one by the physical appearance第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

And low-income families tend tobring their kids with them to public laundromats .Those truths appear once a week at selectneighborhood laundromats in Chicago. That’s when librarians lay down colorfulmats and oversized board books beside the industrial washing machines.Insid e one of about 14 laundromats in thecity’s low-income neighborhoods, the librarians gather all available childrenfor LaundromatsStory Time , a Chicago Public Library program.With the noise of the washers and dryers,anywhere between a handful to more than a dozen children hear stories, singsongs and play games designed to help their brains develop. The event also aimsto instruct parents on how to repeat the experience for their kids, working toraise poor literacy rates in underserved communities.“We read books, we sing songs, we doplays,” says Becca Ruidl, the CPL’s STEAM Team early learning manager, whoruns the LST program. “We kind of keep it going so parents can walk in adnjoin in at any time. But a big part of what we do is model literacy skills forparents so they can do it at home with their kids.”While a laundromat seems an unlikely placeto engage with children, “we really wanted to meet people in the communitywhere they’re. “Ruidl says.And it clearly meets a need: Libraryofficials say the program is in increasing demand, while Ruidl says familieshave adjusted their household’s laundry day to suit the librarians’ laundromatvisits. At the same time, LST’s co-sponsors—including a laundry industry tradegroup and Libraries Without Borders, an organization fighting poverty throughliteracy—have worked with the CPL to draft an instruction handbook to helpexpand the concept to other U.S. cities.（1）What does the word “irrefutable” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A .

And it’s not a coincidence. Color is one of the many that companies use to connect with customers. And if fast food wasn’t hard enough, those red logos mig ht make it even harder to ignore.The average human can see ten million colors, but red is special. It’s one of the first colors our ancient ancestors thought important enough to name. Early human languages were uncolorful. There were words for “black” an d“white” and “red” but not much else.As a result, we have a deeper connection to red than any other color and we react to it in certain ways that actually play to fast food companies’ advantage. For starters, researchers have found that red can cause a sense of urgency. On top of that, it also has an ability to whet our appetites. And when you pair those two together, you’ve got the perfect recipe to attract hungry customers who want food, fast.So the red logo isn’t just a welcoming sign. It’s a seduc tion for your brain. Now, it’s unclear why red makes us feel this way. But perhaps it has something to do with where the word comes from. Many ancient languages first named red from their word for “blood”. But red’s bloody beginning has transformed. During medieval times, for example, red was worn by royals as a status symbol. And today, brides in many parts of India are married in red dress.In fact, red is one of the few colors today that cultures all over the world view positively. And it’s no wonder c ompanies attach so much importance to their logos. After all, we’re a visual species. Despite having five senses, 80% of the information our brains process on a daily basis comes from our eyes. And according to marketing company WebPageFX, nearly 85% of consumers say the main reason they choose one product over the other is color.Just think what McDonald’s would look like in blue, green, or pink! It’s just not the same, right?（1）What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text?A . To introduce the origin of the color red.B . To describe the use of colors in marketing.C . T o explain why many fast food logos are red.D . To show how fast food companies attract customers.（2）What feeling will people probably have when seeing red fast food logs?A . Relaxation.B . Calmness.C . Eagerness.D . Contentment.（3）The two examples in Paragraph 5 are mentioned to show _________.A . the meaning of red has changedB . Indian people value redC . Red has something to do with bloodD . red indicates a high status（4）Why do companies pay much attention to their logos according to Paragraph 6?A . Logos convey their values.B . Logos awaken people’s senses.C . People process information daily.D . People largely rely on what they see.4. 阅读理解Cao Yuan, a PhD student from China, hadtwo papers published on strange behaviour in atom-thick layers of carbon thathave opened up a new field of physics.Pablo Jarillo-Herrero’s group at MIT wasalready layering and rotating sheets of carbon at different angles when Cao joined thelab in 2014. Cao’s job was to find out what happened when one graphene sheet was twisted only slightly wihtrespect to the other, which one theory predicted would thoroughly change thema terial’s behaviour.Many physicists doubted the idea. But whenCao set out to create thesubtly twisted stacks, he spotted something strange.Exposed to a small electric field and cooled to 1.7 degrees above absolutezero, the graphene—which ordinarily conducts electricity—became an insulator.That by itself was surprising. But the best was yet to come: with a slightchange to the field, the twisted sheets became a superconductor, in whichelectricity flowed without resistance.The ability to get atom-thick carbon into acomplex electronic state through a simple rotation now has physics demanding toengineer exciting behavior in other twisted 2D materials. Some even hope thatgraphene could shed light on how more-complex materials superconduct at muchhigher tempera tures. “There are so many things we can do,” says CoryDean, a physicist at Columbia University. “The opportunities at hand noware almost irresistible.”Hitting graphene’s “magic angle”—a rotationbetween parallel sheets of around 1.1°—involved some trial and error, but Caowas soon able to do it reliably. His experimental skill was extremelyimportant, says his supervisor Jarillo-Herrero. Cao pioneered a method oftearing a single sheet of graphene so that he could create a stack of twolayers, from which he could then fine-tune alignment .Cao loves to take things apart and rebuildthem. A heart, he is “a tinkerer”, his supervisor says. On his own time, thismeans photographing the night sky using homemade cameras and telescopes—piecesof which usually lie across Cao’s office. “Every ime I go in, it’s a hugemess, with computerstaken apart and pieces of telescope all over hisdesk,” says Jarillo-Herrero.（1）What is Cao Yuan’s achievement?A . Creating a method of piling carbon.B . Finding the superconductivity of graphene.C . Making equipment to twist graphene.D . Starting research on a new field of physics.（2）What do we know from Cory Dean’s words?A . The finding can be applied to all materials.B . It is certain that many new discoveries are on the way.C . The discovery suggests potential for other twisted 2D materials.D . Physicists have been pushed to find more atom-thick carbon layers.（3）What does Jarillo-Herrero think is key to Cao Yuan’s discovery?A . His method of tearing sheets.B . His knowledge of physics.C . His curiosity about graphene.D . His skill in experiments.（4）What can we infer about Jarillo-Herrero?A . He is an expert in telescope.B . He thinks highly of Cao Yuan.C . He appreciates messy offices.D . He follows Cao Yuan’s research.二、任务型阅读5. 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。
