21．（6分）When you’re choosing a college, a lot of factors probably may be considered: the school’s reputation, the classes offered, a nd the professors in your major, to name a few. However, considering the increasing competitiveness of universities to attract more and more applicants, many schools now offer extra benefits to be enjoyed by all of their students. Here are some of the coolest:
University of Missouri
When you think of a campus gym, you probably picture a room equipped with old weights and out-of-date machines. However, at the University of Missouri, you can enjoy one of the best campus fitness centers in the country. It feat ures an “indoor beach” complete with a waterfall and a lazy river, as well as a full-service spa. Even if you don’t normally enjoy working out, Missouri’s fitness center will give you a reason to go to the gym.
High Point University
If you see yourself quickly tired of dining hall food—something that happens to almost all of us—High Point University in North Carolina has a great option for you: a private steakhouse for students. It’s a first-class restaurant, and, best of all, you don’t have to pay for the meal out of your own pocket. You can use your dining dollars instead.
Seton Hall University
If you’re stressing out about the extra cost of technology when you start college, Seton Hall has great news for you: all freshmen are given free laptops through the university’s Mobile Computing Program. As a freshman, you’ll receive a laptop already set up with all of the software that you’ll need as a student. Then, after two years, you’ll receive a new and updated laptop designed to carry to through until after you graduate.
New York University
If you’re a fan of museums, NYU(New York University) is the perfect university for you: not only are you located in the heart of a city featuring some of the best museums
in the world, but the university will even provide you with free admission to many of them. You can take advantage of visiting free museums at any time you want—and you’ll never be bored on the weekends.

22．（8分）When I was 5 years old, I started losing weight. My parents noticed I was pale and always thirsty. They had me tested to see if my blood sugar was high because they thought that might be causing my symptoms.
My blood sugar was five times higher than normal. That can be deadly. My parents rushed me to the hospital. That's when my whole life changed.
The doctors said I had Type 1 Diabetes (糖尿病).That means my body can't make insulin (胰岛素).There's no cure.
My parents had to give me insulin shots every day and I had to get over my fear of
needles quickly. Sometimes I had 10 band-aids on my fingers at once.
Now that I'm older, I check my own blood sugar and give myself shots. About four years ago, my mom started traveling to rural Guatemala. She goes twice a year to help people in need.
I have been a Girl Scout since kindergarten. For a Girl Scout project, I put together
a team to go to Guatemala to test people there for diabetes. We went for four days last July. We tested 378 children and 100 adults. We found three adults with a different kind of diabetes, called type 2. We also found one little girl with dangerously low blood sugar. She cried when we told her. She had been feeling dizzy and didn't know why. It was like replaying what happened to me when I was little. I talked through a translator, but everyone understood hugs. I gave more hugs than I've ever given.
Having type 1 diabetes is hard. But I have accepted it readily. It has helped me meet amazing people. It has made me responsible and independent. It has also shown me the power of taking action. I'm going back to Guatemala this summer to test more kids. I want to help as many kids as I can. But my greatest wish is for a cure. Type 1 diabetes changes your life. If no other child ever has to have it, that would be amazing.

23．（8分）For the longest time,Amber Austwick was unable to speak.In fact,it took a donkey to inspire her first words. Amber,a 6-year-old girl in Birmingham,England,was born prematurely,along with her twin sister,Hope,in June 2010.
Both babies suffered severe bleeding in their lungs,but Hope got stronger while Amber needed a life-saving tracheotomy（气管切开术）that restricted air to vocal cords （声带）.As a result,she was able to breathe,but unable to speak.But that changed three years ago,when Amber's mom,Tracy Austwick,took her to an animal shelter.It was there that Amber met Shocks,a donkey that had been rescued from abuse.
“It was quite scary really,”Tracy Austwick said.“Shocks was in the stadium and the riding instructor took little Amber to him and I found it scary for me because Shocks was so much bigger than her.”“B ut Amber wasn't scared and Shocks was really excited to meet her and they've kept that bond ever since.”The bond is so strong that when Amber was ready to say her first words,she said them to Shocks:“I love you.”
Amber's mother was shocked that her daughte r spoke to Shocks.“It was such an emotional moment.I couldn't believe my daughter had finally found her voice,”she said.“Once she met Shocks he brought her out of her shell, she's a lot more confident with him and with friends at school who she loves to talk to about him and the donkey shelter.”
Although Shocks still lives at the shelter,he's part of the Austwick family.“Amber will always visit Shocks and she still sees him whenever she can,”Tracy said.

24．（8分）About a month after I joined Facebook, I got a call from Lori Goler, a highly regarded senior director of marketing at eBay. She made it clear this was a business call. “I want to apply to work with you at Facebook,” she said. “Instead of recommending myself, I want to ask you: What is your biggest problem, and how can I solve it?”
My jaw hit the floor. I had hired thousands of people over the previous decade and no one had ever said anything remotely like that. People usually focus on finding the right role for themselves, with the implication that their skills will help the company. Lori put Facebook’s needs front and center. It was a killer approach. I responded, “Recruiting is my biggest problem. And, yes, you can solve it.”
Lori never dreamed she would work in recruiting, but she jumped in. She even agreed to trade earnings for acquiring new skills in a new field. Lori did a great job running recruiting and within months was promoted to her current job, leading People@Facebook.
The most common metaphor for careers is a ladder, but this concept no longer applies to most workers. As of 2010, the average American had eleven jobs from the ages of eighteen to forty-six alone. Lori often quotes Pattie Sellers, who came up with a much better metaphor: “Careers are a jungle gym, not a ladder.”
As Lori des cribes it, there’s only one way to get to the top of a ladder, but there are many ways to get to the top of a jungle gym. The jungle gym model benefits everyone, but especially women who might be starting careers, switching careers, getting blocked by external barriers, or reentering the workforce after taking time off. The ability to create a unique path with occasional dips, detours (弯路), and even dead ends presents great views of many people, not just those at the top. On a ladder, most climbers are stuck staring at the butt of the person above.
1、Why did Lori make the call?
A．She helped Facebook to solve the biggest problem.
B．She wanted to make a business deal with Facebook.
C．She tried to ask for a pay rise in Facebook.
D．She wanted to become an employee in Facebook.
2、What impressed “I” by Lori?
A．Lori was good at running recruiting.
B．Lori attached great importance to Facebook’s needs.
C．Lori jumped in Facebook with no adequate experience.
D．Lori was skilled in marketing at eBay.
3、What can we infer from the passage?
A．Now all people don’t tend to climb the ladder.
B．None on the ladder can enjoy the great views.
C．Jungle gyms offer limited exploration for employees.
D．A pregnant woman, jobless, benefits little from the jungle gyms.
4、What is the best title of the passage?
A．It’s a Jungle Gym, Not a Ladder.
B．Facebook’s Biggest Problem.
C．Applying for a Job in Facebook.
D．A Jungle Gym is Better than a Ladder.

Since I had taught in America for many years, I had no 1 about my ability to hold their attention and to 2 them my admiration for the literature of my native language.
I was 3 when the monitor shouted, “Stand up！” The who le class 4
as I entered the classroom. I was somewhat 5 how I could get them to sit down again, but once that embarrassment was over, I quickly 6 my calmness and began what I thought was a fact- packed lecture, sure to gain their 7 — perhaps even their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow (满面红光) which came from a sense of 8 .
All ray students 9 diaries. However, as I read their diaries, the rosy glow was gradually 10 by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said, “Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today. Her next lecture will 11 be better.” Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a 12 theme. “Didn’t I teach them anything? I described the entire ph ilosophical framework of Western thought and laid the historical 13 for all the works we’ll study in class,” I complained. “How should they say I didn’t 14 them anything?”
After a long term, I gradually learned that my ideas about 15 were not the same as those of my students. I thought a teacher’s job was to 16 questions and provide enough background so that students could 17 their own conclusions, while my students thought a teacher’s job was to provide 18 information as directly and clearly as possible. What a great 19 !
However, I also learned a lot, and my 20 with my Chinese students has made me a better American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture.

27．（15分）Research clearly shows that young children are able to become fluent in more than one language at the same time，if there is rich input in each language. In this context，it is 1．(good) to start as young as possible.
Learning in language classes at school is 2．(complete) different. The normal
pattern of these classes is to have one or more hourly 3．(lesson) per week. To succeed in learning with such little input 4．(require) meta-cognitive(元认知) skills that do not usually develop 5．a young age. For this style of language learning, the later years of primary school is 6．ideal time to start.
What does this tell us about when we should start teaching second languages to children? In terms of the 7．(develop) of language proficiency，the message is fairly clear.
If we are able to provide lots of exposure to rich language use, early childhood is better. 8．the only opportunity for second language learning is through more traditional language classes, then late primary school is likely to be just as good as early childhood.

We often hear stories of animals rescued people. But now someone has managed to return the favor. The event took place on one snowy January morning where Thomas Smith was walking her dog, Jack, in the park. “As I was walking, I just saw Jack
r unning onto the ice towards the ducks in the middle, and then he falls into the water,” said Smith. He realized he had no choice but try and save his dogs.” Finally, I got Jack by a neck and pulled him out. I don’t think of I have ever felt so cold by the time we got back to the land. When we got there, everyone was asking why Jack was okay—no one was particular worried about me!”

29、Dear Jim ,
I'm so glad to hear your future education plan in Beijing in your last letter. First I would like to express my warmest welcome to you and 1 am sure you will have the most unforgettable experience during your college in Beijing.
Learning your keen interest in Chinese culture, 1 suggest you apply for Peking University, one of the best universities in China. Its Chinese Literature major is perfect for you where you can be completely soaked in profound Chinese history and rich culture. As for preparation, some reading in advance is needed like The Story of'the Stone while some online courses of spoken Chinese can be helpful for you to adapt to the Chinese language environment.
I sincerely hope your dream will come true and it's my pleasure to show you around in Beijing when that day comes. If you have further questions, please feel free to let me know.
Yours ,
Li Hua。
