Passage 2
Today's students have grown up hearing more about Bill Gates than F. D. R. , and they live in a world where amazing innovations （革淅）are common. The current 18-year-
olds z after all, were 8 when Google was founded by two students
at Stanford ； Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook in 2004 while he was at Harvard and they were entering high school. Having grown up digital （数字的），they are impatient to get on with life.
The easiest way to find kids like these is to check in on entrepreneur ship （企业家才能）education, in which colleges and universities try to prepare their students to recognize opportunities and seize them.
A report published last year by the Kauffman Foundation, which finances programs to promote innovation on campuses, noted that more than 50,000 entrepreneur ship programs are offered on two-and f our-year campuses - -up from just 250 courses in 1985 . Lesa Mitchell, a Kauffman vice president, says that the foundation is extending the reach of its academic influence, which used to be found only in business schools. Now, the concept of entrepreneurship is blooming in engineering programs and medical school, and even in the liberal arts . "Our interest is the programs z " she says . "We need to spread out from the business school."
Either as class projects or on their own, students in a variety of majors are coming up with ideas, writing business plans and seeing them through to prototype and, often, market. In their spare time, students in agricultural economics at Purdue invent new uses for bean ； industrial design majors at Syracuse, in special laboratory, create wearable technologies.
The entrepreneur ship movement has its critics z especially among those who see college as a time for extensive academic exploration. " I just don' t think that entrepreneurship ranks so high in terms of national need," says Daniel
5. Greenberg, author of Science for Sale: the perils z Rewards and Delusions of Campus Capitalism.
Leonard A. Schlesinger, Babson College ' s president, says that the question of whether innovation can really be taught is "an age-old argument".
6、 When Google and Facebook were established, the founders were still _______________ .
A. in high school

Passage 3 When we accept the evidence of our unaided eyes and describe the Sun as a yellow star, we have summed up the most important single fact about it--at this moment in time. It appears probable, however, that sunlight will be the color we know for only a negligibly （微不足道的）small part of the Sun' s history. Stars, like individuals, age and change. As we look out into space, we see around us stars at all stages of evolution. There are faint blooded dwarfs so cool that their surface temperature is a mere 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit ； there are scaring ghosts blazing at 100,000 degrees Fahrenheit and almost too hot to be seen, for the great part of their radia-tion is in the invisible ultraviolet range. Obviously, the "daylight H produced by any star depends on its temperature ； today (and for ages to come) our Sun is at about 10,000 de-grees education?
A . To prepare students
B . To prepare students
C . To prepare students
D . To prepare students
Fahrenheit, and this means that most of the Sun' s light is concentrated in the yellow band of the spectrum, falling slowly in intensity toward both the longer and shorter light waves.
That yellow "hump" will shift as the Sun evolves, and the light of the day will change accordingly. It is natural to assume that as the Sun grows older, and uses up its hydrogen fuel-which it is now doing at the spanking rate of half a billion tons a sec-ond-it will become steadily colder and redder. 11> What is the passage mainly about?
A. Faint dwarf stars.
B. The evolution cycle of the Sun.
C. The Sun's fuel problem.
D. The dangers of invisible radiation.
12> What does the author say is especially important about the Sun at the present time?
A. It appears yellow.
B. It always remains the same.
C. It had a short history.
D. It is too cold.
13> Why are very hot stars referred to as "ghosts"?
A. They are short-lived.
B. They are mysterious.
C. They are frightening.
D. They are nearly invisible.
14、 According to the passage, as the Sun continues to age, what color is it likely to become?
A. Yellow.
B. Violet.
C. Red.
D. White.
15> In the last sentence of the third passage, to which of the following does "it" refer?
A. Yellow "hump".
B. Day.
C. Sun.
D. Hydrogen fuel.

可直接在最后一句找到答案，其句意是''很自然会想到，随着太阳的老化及氢燃料的日益耗用（目前它上面的氢燃料正在以每秒5亿吨的惊人速度燃烧着），太阳将会不断地变冷、变红。

［解析］这是一篇提纲作文。

文体为比较性论说文。

要求考生说出业余爱好对人们有哪些好处或坏处。

提纲作文是一种控制性作文。

考生写作时要紧扣标题，不能脱离提纲规定的内容。

因时间有限，字数有限，考生最好选择业余爱好对人们有什么好处或有什么坏处一点来谈，不要既谈好处又谈坏处。

这样面面俱到，反而讲不清楚。

另外，一定要举例说明。

其实举例说明比从理论上谈更容易写，说服力更强。

提纲作文一定要囊括所给提纲中包含的全部内容，但也不要拘泥于提纲，更不能逐字翻译提纲，要自己发挥。
