It’s Saturday morning in a large courtyard. Young designers sell their creations, from fine tea sets to hand-pained ceramic(瓷质的)earrings. I could be in east London, that is, until standard Chinese tones remind me I’m in Jingdezhen, a small Chinese city.Centuries ago, when Europeans first saw Chinese porcelain, for example, it seemed so fine that they concluded it must have been made with magic and called it “white gold”.They couldn’t find out how it was made, but they knew where it came from: the town of Changnan. Changnan porcelain was so in demand that early traders began calling the whole country by this town’s name. mixed by foreign tongues, Changnan transformed into China. Two million years after porcelain’s invention, the town, now called Jingezhen, is still one of the world’s most important centres for porcelain production.“The people are the most important treasure here, their roots are deep in history,” says Zhang Jia. She’s part o f a new wave of designers who have come to Jingezhen to learn techniques handed down and refined(使精美)over a hundred generations. “This is the best place to study porcelain in China, perhaps in the entire world.” She adds.Chinese artists aren’t the only on es drawn here. Founded in 2005 by Caroline Cheng, the Pottery Workshop runs classes for visitors from around the world.In the Pottery Workshop’s second floor studio, I meet Trudy Golley and Paul Leather, a husband-wife duo from Canada. Paul tells me that when he first visited Jingdezhen there were no street lamps and only dirt pavements. There were workshops but their goods were bought by traders and sold on elsewhere. These days, stylish cafés and bars pop up next to concept stores. At one such shop, I admire some tiny teacups settling on a thick wooden branch like birds.With the popularity of the Pottery Workshops, China’s young people are more interested in unique, individually-made products. Many of the designers are using Jingdezhen’s master craftsmen(工匠)to make them because they know they offer quality, attention to detail. （1）What made the writer realize that he was in China?A Fine tea setsB Hand-painted ceramic earringsC Standard ChineseD Fine Chinese porcelain（2）Zhang Jia came to Jingdezhen in order to _________.A know something about Jingdezhen’s historyB enjoy the beautiful scenery of JingdezhenC study techniques of making porcelainD pay a visit to some of her foreign friends（3）From what Paul said we can learn ____________.A many foreign visitors came to Jingdezhen to study porcelainB in the past Jingdezhen was a poor and dirty townC their goods were not popular in westerncountries D China’s young people are more interested in unique products（4）What is the purpose of the passage?A To appeal to people to buy Chinese porcelainB To tell people traditional Chinese porcelain earns great reputation in JingdezhenC To advertise porcelain products in JingdezhenD To introduce some information about one traditional Chinese art in Jingdezhen4. A safari park is a park in which wild animals are kept. They are mainly located in east or central Africa. They often occupy a very wild area, with mountains and rivers. To visit the park and look at the animals, people have to drive around — in a car for a few of hoursbecause the park is huge.In south Africa there is a safari park, which contains all sorts of wild animals like lions, elephants, rhinoceroses, zebras, wild pigs, deer and giraffes.There is a wild road leading through the park, but nobody is permitted to walk on the road. Anyone traveling in the park has to go in a car because wild animals may fiercely attack people. From the car he may see almost every types of African wildlife. Some of these are getting scarce (稀有的) because people kill them for various reasons. For example rhinoceroses are killed for their horns, which are used in traditional Chinese medicines for colds and headaches. Perhaps they will be seen only in museums and books one day. Travelers may purchase food for the animals. They can feed them when they tour the park. Of course, they should not feed them in a close distance because the wild animals may attack people. In addition, they should only give proper food to the animals.A traveler may carry a gun with him in his journey. The gun is given to him by the government. However, it is not used for hunting. In fact, a seal is fixed to it. The traveler may fire at a wild beast to defend himself in case he is attacked. However, he has prove to the government that he has been attacked and that he has not fired at a harmless animal.（1）What can we infer from the last paragraph?A The gun is given to a traveler by the government.B The gun can be used tohunt. C The gun is given to a traveler to defend himself. D A traveler may fire at a wild beast.（2）Which is the thing people have to do while traveling in the park?A Carry a gun with him.B Drive around in a car.C Look at theanimals.

Some students are far less responsible than their roommates and tendto let their part of the finance slide. Dissatisfaction is quick to build when everyone has to pay thebill for a fellow student who can’ t seem to pay his/her share of the money.Carry your part of the load. Everyone has to clean the bathroom and the kitchen sometime.Don ’t avoid your part of responsibility. Student accommodations can get messy and it involves everyoneto keep them tidy and healthy.Think about someone else before you think about yourself. Put your roommates interests above your own. Life will be far enjoyable when everyone is concerned about the feelings property and studies of each other.Be open and honest. Hostilities ( 敌意 ) and frustrations may cause problems that can ’betfixed. Everyone brings different standards and expectations to group living and itbest interest to put them into the open.

Over the past couple months, most of the political headlines youprobably been about the government shutdown and the launch of the Affordable Care Act( 平价医疗法案 ). And I know that many of you have rightly never been more frustrated with Washington.But if you look beyond those headlines, there are some good things happening in our economy. And that ’ s been my top priority（优先考虑） since the day I walked into the Oval Office.After decades in which the middle class was working harder and harder just to keep up, and a’ s in eve ’ ve read hapunishing recession （衰败） that made it worse, we made the tough choices required not just torecover from crisis, but to rebuild on a new foundation for stronger, more durable economic growth.Five years later, we have fought our way back. Our businesses have created 7.8 million newjobs in the past 44 months. Another 200,000 Americans went back to work last month.The American auto industry has come back with more than 350,000 new jobs–-- jobs puttingout and selling the high-tech, fuel- efficient cars the world wants to buy. And they’ re leading the charge in a business that has added jobs for the first time since the 1990s–-- a big reason why ourbusinesses sell more goods and services“ Made in America” than ever before.We decided to stop our addiction to foreign oil. And today, we produce more renewableenergy than ever, more natural gas than anybody, and for the first time in nearly 20 years, Americanow produces more oil than we buy from other countries.We decided to fix a broken health care system. And even though the task has been rough, sofar, about 500,000 Americans gain health coverage starting January1st. And by the way, healthcare costs are growing at the slowest rate in 50 years.And one more thing: since I took office, we’ ve cut赤字our)bydeficitsmore (than half. Andthat makes it easier to invest in the things that create jobs –-- education, research, and so on.about what we could do if the few didn’ t hold the economy人质hostage)every( few months, orwaste time on dozens of votes to repeal the Affordable Care Act rather than try to help us fix it.In the weeks ahead, I’ ll keep talking about my plan to build a better bargain for the middleclass. Good jobs. A good education. A chance to buy a home, save, and retire. And yes, thefinancial security of affordable health care. And I ’ look for any willing partners who want tohelp.Because of your hard work and tough sacrifices over the past five years, we’ re pointed in right direction. But we’ vegot more work to do to keep moving that way. And as long as I ’mPresident, I’ ll keep doing everything I can to create jobs, grow the economy, and make sure thateveryone who works hard has a chance to get ahead. Thanks, and have a great weekend.4. Which of the following is not the reason for people the’ sgovernment?frustrationwithA. The government shutdownB. Unemployment rateC. The addiction to foreign oilD.

It ’based on the assumption that old ideas will always work,so theyshouldn ’ t be challenged. While this may be a valid assumption in situations that don’ t ch unlikely to hold true in a changing situation. In today’ s rapid changing global environment, old methods often don’ t work, and stubbornly using them can lead to major problems.Most people seem to agree with conventional wisdom because it gives one a false sense ofsecurity. If everyone else believes it, then it must be tree. Individuals who use conventionalwisdom are certain that they are right, and being fight is good. They want to continue using oldideas rather than take risks with changes that might not work. In 1977, Ken Olsen, co-founder andCEO of Digital Equipment Corporation （ DEC ）, stated “ There is no reason for any individual tohave a computer in his home.” Despite being a dominant leader in the computer industry, DEC nolonger exists.People seem to forget that since innovation is a change, there can be no innovation withoutchange. Unfortunately,conventional wisdom prevents leaders, followers and companies fromchanging and therefore innovating.If companies don ’innovate,but their competitors do, thefuture is likely to be problematic（成问题的） . Breaking from conventional wisdom has led tomany of the most innovative companies and products in history across many industries, so it has apowerful effect on business success.Ted Turner（ founder of CNN ） knew little, if anything, about the news business, but he knewit was inconvenient to watch news only at the dinner hour, as was common before CNN. Turnersolution was to create a cable （有线的） channel devoted to news 24 hours a day. The newsestablishment reflected conventional wisdom at the time, and predicted his idea would fail becauseno one wanted to watch the news all day. However,it doesn ’ t take a rocket scientist to understandthat viewers don ’t have to watch the news all day for the CNN to work. Viewers just have towatch when they want to get information. Due t o conventional thinking, the critics failed torecognize the opportunity that was clear to Ted. They assumed that only what was familiar to themcould work in the future.Conventional wisdom prevents creativity, flexibility and risk-taking, so unconventional leadersenthusiastically break from it. To survive, boom and maintain competitive advantage, companiesmust be flexible when reacting to change.8.DEC has disappeared probably because ________. A.the CEO stuck to the conventional ideas9.The founding of CNN is used as an example to prove ________.A.missing opportunities could lead to failureB.watching news at the dinner hour is convenientC.changing could contribute to business successD.conventional wisdom influences business success10.What does the underlined part probably mean?A.Rocket scientists can ensure the CNN works properly.B. It’ s easy to know people needn’ t watch the news all the time.C. It’ s necessary to understand when people watch the news.D. Most of the viewers don’ t like to watchstheat worknew.11.The passage is mainly written to tell us that _______A.old methods are changing with timeB.opportunities lead to business successC.successful companies need wise leadersD.conventional wisdom limits innovationDA new study has discovered that meditation( 冥想 )and oxygen sport together reduce depression(抑郁 )． The Rutgers University study found that this mind and body combination done twice a week for only two months ， reduced the symptoms for a group of students by 40 percent “ We are excited by the findings Because we saw such a meaningful improvement in bothclinically depressed and non — depressed students，”said lead author Dr． BrandonAlderman ．“ It is the first time that both of these two behavioral ways have been looked at together for dealing with depression ．”Researchers believe the two activities have an interactive effect in combating depression．Alderman and Dr ．Traeey Shors discovered that a combination of mental and physical training (MAP)enabled students with major depressive disorder not to let problems or negative thoughts defeat them．Rutgers researchers say those who participated in the study began with 30 minutes of focused attention meditation followed by 30 minutes of oxygen sport．They were told that if their thoughts drifted to the past or the future they should refocus on their breathing，enabling those with depression to accept moment-to-moment changes in attention ．Shors， who studies the production of new brain cells in the hippocampus—part of the brain involved in memory and learning — says scientists have shown in animal mode1s that oxygen sport exercise keeps a large number of certain cells alive ．The idea for the human intervention( 干涉 )came from her laboratory studies， studies， she says，the main goal of helping individuals acquire new skills so that they can learn to recoverfrom stressful life events ．By learning to focus their attention and exercise， people who are fighting depression can acquire new learning skills that can help them process information and reduce the overwhelming recollection of memories from the past ， Shors says．“ We know these treatments， can be practiced over a lifetime and that they will be effectivein improving mental health．” said Alderman ．“ The good news is that this intervention can be practiced by anyone time any time and at no cost ．”12． What made the research so different?A ．Adopting a way of meaningful talk．B ．Combining the two ways to treat depression ．C．Treating depression with special medicine ．D ．Comparing the depressed with the non-depressed．13． The underlined word“ combating” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by______．A ． fightingB ． identifying C．distinguishing D．examining14． What did the participants do in the research?A ． They did oxygen sport half an hour before thinking．B． They through quietly and then took exercise ．C． They took exercise longer than they thought ．D． They took exercise while thinking quietly．15． What is Shors ’main purpose of her studies?A ． To find our certain brain cells of humans ．B． To study the production of new brain cells ．C． To offer people a new methord to treat stress ．D． To decide the links between stress and exercise．第二节（共 5 小题，每题 2 分，共 10 分）依据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项，选项中有两项为剩余选项。

You already know that you should wake up early to become more productive, and perhaps you have also heard that you shouldn’t check your email first in the morning. While this advice is good and well-documented, there is also another kind of productivity advice that is as effective as well. 361. Work when there is a distraction(分心) aroundYour environment doesn’t have to be 100% quiet if you want to get work done. Let’s say that you are working from home and you have kids. Let’s also assume that you don’t have a quiet workspace in your home to do your work. Naturally, you could decide to do work during the quiet hours. 37 .2. Drink coffee before taking a nap38 Then take a caffeine nap. Combining coffee and napping time can have a big improvement in one’s p ersonal productivity. Drink a cup of coffee, take a 20-minute nap right afterward and wake-up refreshed.3. 39It’s so funny to think that the places that seem like the last ones in which to get anything done are the best for productivity. I’m talking abou t trains and when I travel alone, I look forward to getting work done there. In fact, I have done a lot of work during my trips when I’m moving from one place to another.4. Close the curtainsClosing the curtains can improve your productivity. I mightdo some work at the dining table where there is a window to the left of me. Since I can see the nearby parking space through the window (and the people and moving cars as well), the movement might catch my attention, so the simplest way to prevent the distraction is to close the curtains. 40A. Work in a train.B. Focus on one thing at a time.C. Have a mobile Internet access with you.D. But not all of the tasks have to be done then.E. Try these tips and see how they work for you.F.

AA common overbooking problem on a United Airlines flight on Sunday ended with a man being bloodied and dragged from his seat and an already troubled airline earning more bad press. How did it all go so wrong?Overbooking on flights happens all the time. Empty seats cost airlines money, so they offset(抵消) the number of passengers who miss flights by selling too many tickets. In this case, the problem arose because United decided at the last minute to fly four members of staff to a connection point and needed to bump four passengers to make way for them.When there’s an overbooking issue the first step is to offer an inducement to the passengers to take a later flight. On Sunday passengers were offered $400, a hotel room for the night, and a flight the following afternoon. When no-one took the offer, the amount was upped to $800. Still no-one bit, so a manager boarded the flight and informed passengers that four people would be selected to leave the flight.That selection is based on several fac tors, but frequent fliers and higher fare-paying passengers are given priority to stay aboard, a spokeswoman for United confirmed.A couple who were selected agreed to leave the plane voluntarily. A third passenger, reportedly the wife of the man who was forcibly removed, also agreed. The man, who said he was a doctor and had to see patients in the morning, refused. An airline manager told him that security would be called if he did not obey. their conversation ended with the man being yanked from his seat onto the floor and dragged off, blood visible on his face.United Airlines CEO said the airline would review the event and reach out to the passenger, but the spokeswoman could not confirm whether United was in touch with him yet.1. Why does overbooking on flights always occur?A. United bumped four passengers to spare seats for its staff.B. Airlines expect to earn as much money as possible.C. Airlines want to make up for a loss of empty seats.D. It happens by accident.2. What can we inferred about the selection mentioned in the text?A. People are selected at random by the computer.B. Frequent fliers will never be asked to leave.C. The selected doctor may be the low fare-paying passengers or not a frequent flier.D. The selected passengers will be offered no money.3. Which of the following statements about four passengers is true?A. Four people were directly selected to leave at first.B. The couple of the doctor agreed to leave voluntarily.C. The doctor was dragged off without any hurt.D. The doctor refused to leave because he had to see his patient next morning.4. What does the underlined part “reach out to” in Paragraph 6 refers to?A. Get in contact withB. Make up forC. Apologize toD. Team up withBThe days of having to remember your ID could soon be a thing of the past. The famous tourist town of Wuzhen, China, is now using facial recognition technology to act as its entry pass through the gates of the attraction. The system uses cameras to notice people as they approach the entry, and checks these against a database of registered visitors within a few seconds. The technology is thought to be up to 99.77 percent accurate and able to distinguish people better than a human.Wuzhen is a popular tourist town with visitors going there in large numbers to see its stunning river system and museums. Baidu, a web firm often referred to as “Chinese Google”, created the system. When people now check in to their accommodation, they will have their photo taken and uploaded to a central database upon leaving and re-entering the town, the system will re-check that they are still a guest at a hotel, before allowing them back in.The technology is being used to track the 5,000 visitors that stay in the town’s hotels every day. Yuanqing Lin, director of the Institute of deep Learning at Baidu, told The Verge, “With our technology, you don’t need to give your ID. When you are approaching a gate, it will take a photo of you and compare that photo to the database.” Wuzhen used to monitor its visitors using a ticket-entry system, but this could easily be abused. It wasdiscovered that some people were sharing their tickets to avoid paying.Baidu’s system is based on neural networks, which can process huge amounts of data--- more than one billion faces. As well as recognizing faces, the system can also discover facial movements, so it can’t be fooled by someone holding up a mask.Baidu is also using the software for employee entry at its Beijing headquarters.5. What can be learnt about the facial recognition technology from the passage?A. The technology could soon be a thing of the past.B. The technology can be over 99.77% accurate.C. The technology can match visitors’ faces with those in the databaseD. The technology is being used to track where the 5,000 visitors are going.6. Which of the following word can replace the underlined word “stunning” in paragraph 2?A. popularB. attractiveC. brilliantD. funny7. How does Wuzhen monitor its visitors now?A. By using facial recognition technologyB. By using a ticket-entry systemC. By using ID cardD. By using tickets8. What is the passage mainly about?A. Facial recognition is widely used in China.B. Baidu, a web firm, is using the recognition system.C. Chinese tourist town Wuzhen is using facial recognition.D. Wuzen is a popular tourist town with many visitors goingthere to see the system.CAbout three decades ago, China was known as the “Bicycle Kingdom”. But the two-wheeled approach of transport’s popularity began to fade, with many bikes soon replaced by their fuel-powered competitors.But recent months have seen a repopulality of the humble bike across China, with an increasing number of people choosing cycling instead of driving to schools, to workplaces or to do sightseeing. The introduction of bike-sharing schemes, pioneered by start-up company like Ofo and Mobike, has brought the trend to a new level. According to data shown by iResearch Consulting Group, the first week of this year saw 5.85 million active users of Mobike while Ofo had 1.4 million active users.People can unlock the shared bikes by simply using their smartphone. The bikes are equipped with GPS and can be left anywhere in public for the next user. They’re popular among many Chinese people as they provide an effective solution to the “last mile” problem, which refers to the final leg of a person’s journey.However, the schemes have also led to problems such as illegal parking, damage on purpose and theft. To deal with these problems, the company came up with the idea of encouraging people to return the bikes to stations by rewarding free time f or their next rides.9. Why did the two-wheeled approach of transport become less popular?A. Because China is no longer a bicycle kingdom.B. Because cycling is not convenient.C. Because fuel-powered competitors were replaced byriding.D. Because mostly driving took the place of cycling.10. What can we learn from the passage?A. The bike’s popularity began to fade.B. Only Ofo and Mobike creat ed the trend to a new level of using bikes.C. The shared bikes offer a useful approach to the final leg problem.D. The company rewarded some money and free time to the users.11. What is the best title of this passage?A. the new mode of humble bikesB. the development of humble bikesC. the advantages of humble bikesD. the issue of humble bikesDThere are often many assumptions made about young people aged 15 to 21, but only a few can be proved with hard evidence. Now, new research has been published to help people get a better idea of these misunderstood young people.According to an international survey in 2016, young people in emerging economies like China and India have a greater sense of hope about the future, compared with those living in Europe, North America and Australia.The survey was carried out between September a nd October by the Varkey Foundation, a UK-based non-profit organization. It surveyed 20,000 young people who were born between 1995 to 2001 in 20 countries. They were asked questions about their hopes, ambitions, personal views and community values.It was found that 53 percent of those questioned in China thought the world was becoming a better place –the highestpercentage among the countries surveyed. Some 93 percent of them also felt hopeful for the future because of advances in technology, such as in medicine, renewable energy and computing. Indian youth were the second most optimistic, with 49 percent taking a positive view of the world’s prospects.As for young people in China, what they fear most is the impact of climate change –some 82 percent of those who responded to the survey said so. Vikas Pota, chief executive of the Varkey Foundation, said it was encouraging that young people in China were aware how serious the problem of climate change is.“This is surely a hopeful development. The young population of China is more aware than anyone of the seriousness of the climate crisis –and will be pressing for change,” he told South China Morning Post. The overall survey showed a sense of optimism in the attitudes and opinions of the gen eration that is likely to shape the next few decades, according to Pota.“They are more likely to travel, to migrate across borders and to build friendships in other countries than any previous generation,” he said. “Global citizenship is not dead. It could just be getting started.”12. What can we infer from Paragraph 1?A. Young people often have better ideas.B. Young people are better than assumed.C. Young people are always misunderstood.D. Assumptions about young people are hard to prove.13. The survey shows us that _______.A. about half of the Chinese youth are positive about the future.B. 49% Indians take a positive view of the world’s prospects.C. Chinese youth are the most optimistic about the future.D. European youth have no hope for the future.1 4. What was Pota’s attitude towards Chinese youth?A. satisfiedB. criticalC. objectiveD. worried15. What’s the best title for the passage?A. Chinese youth misunderstoodB. Chinese youth encouragingC. Chinese youth pessimisticD. Chinese youth optimistic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。

If you are bitten you have to pay a fine but today it's just for fun!I love the evening;everyone comes out and follows the horse's skull as it makes its way through the town singing at each door,usually stopping at various pubs and trying to gain entry,food and drink.There's traditional music and dancing.Sometimes there are Morris dancers who paint their faces black and wear colourful ribbons to disguise themselves.Many of the children are dressed in national dress.It really brings everyone together and you feel such a great sense ofcommunity!Although one of the oldest traditions in Wales,it nearly died out!Luckily today,there has been a rise in popularity with many Welsh towns breathing life again to these old-age customs.It's believed that it will be a hit again.9.What can we learn about the Mari Lwyd?A.It is celebrated in early winter.B.In the custom,a living horse bites villagers.C.A decorated skull goes around the town.D.It is the oldest tradition in Wales.10.What does the underlined phrase "a hit" mean?A.A failure.B.A popular activity.C.A serious crash.D.A promising plan.11.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A.To introduce an interesting tradition.B.To tell the differences among traditions.C.To cell for people to observe traditions.D.To show his pride of his country.DThere has been a technological revolution where kindles,e-books,and various online reading apps have taken over the world.Is reading a print hook out of date?Well,not exactly.There are so many wonderful factors involved with reading a print copy of the book.I remember the excitement of going to the bookstore with my mom when I was in elementary school.The feel of sitting down in the hook store and selecting the books I wanted to read was just so much fun!I think that reading paperback books has its own charm and excitement that cannot be replaced by an electronic book.Holding the physical copy of the book in my hands,and turning over each page makes the reading experience so much more real and memorable.Admittedly,e-books seem to be more convenient than print books.Purchasing an e-book can take place in seconds and these books are often priced less expensively than print copy books.With e-books,there most likely isn't going to be a storage problem,unless the device has a limit on how many books can be purchased.Then again,in order to read e-books one must have a particular device—tablet,iPad,Kindle or laptop to read it on.Thus,an additional payment has to he made in order to read e-books,whereas reading print copies does not involve any extra device.Print books never actually stopped leading the charge,considering that e-book sales have never made up more than a third of all book sales.And although they rose to that number extremely quickly—Amazon,only introduced the Kindle in 2007—the majority of all hooks soldhas always been print.The reality is that there is absolutely no reason print and e-books can't coexist in the book market,but print hooks may carry the day.12.What pleasure does the author have when he reads print copy books?A.He doesn't have to buy a tablet or iPad.B.He can get home and stay on the couch to enjoy reading.C.He can enjoy filling his shelf with books.D.He can sit down in the bookshop and read what he likes.13.What advantage do e-books have according to the passage?A.The reading experience is more real.B.There is no storage problem at all.C.Purchasing them takes less time.D.They are very priceless.14.What can we infer about the book market?A.E-book sales make up more than 1/3 of it.B.E-book sales have never surpassed print book sales.C.Amazon occupies most of the market.D.Print books and e-books can't coexist.15.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Print Books May Outlast E-BooksB.Books Change with the TechnologyC.E-books Are More Convenient than Print BooksD.Technological Revolution is Creating a Reading Revolution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。

英语高考试卷2017新课标1及英语调研考试卷(2)Section B (24分)Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is Followed by several questions or unfinished statements. 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.(A)Technological change is everywhere and affects every aspect of life, mostly for the better. However, social changes brought about by new technology are often mistaken for a change in attitudes.An example at hand is the involvement of parents in the lives of their children who are attending college. Surveys on this topic suggest that parents today continue to be “very” or “somewhat” overly-protective even after their children move into college dormitories. The same surveys also indicate that the rate of parentalinvolvement is greater today than it was a generation ago. This is usually interpreted as a sign that Today’s parents are trying to manage their children’s lives past the point where this behavior is appropriate.However, greater parental involvement does not indicate that parents are failing to let go of their “adult” children.In the context of this discussion, it seems valuable to first find out the cause of change in the case of parents’ involvement with their grown children. If parents of earlier generations had wanted to be in touch with their college-age children frequently, would this have been possible? Probably not. On the other hand, doesthe possibility of frequent communication today mean that the impulse to do so wasn’t present a generation ago? Many studies show that older parents -- today’s grandparents - would have called their children more often if the means and cost of doing so had not been a barrier.Furthermore, studies show that finances are the most frequent subject of communication between parents and their college children. The fact that college students are financially dependent on their parents is nothing new; nor are requests for more money to be sent from home. This phenomenon is neither good nor bad; it is a fact of college life, today and in the past.Thanks to the advanced technology, we live in an age of bettered communication. This has many implications well beyond the role that parents seem to play in the lives of their children who have left for college. But it is useful to bear in mind that all such changes come from the technology and not some imagined desire by parents to keep their children under their wings.66. The surveys inform us of ____________.A. the conditions of college dormitoriesB. the sign of parent’s management in their own behaviorsC. the development of communication technologyD. the parents’ over-protection of their college children67. Which of the following statement does the author most probably agree with?A. Technology explains greater parental involvement with their children.B. Parents’ changed attitudes lead to college children’s delayed independence.C. Parents today are less protective than those in the past.D. The disadvantages of new technology outweigh its advantages.68. What is the meaning of the word “impulse” in this passage?A. Desperation.B. Admiration.C. Urge.D. Depression.69. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Dependence or Independence.B. Technology or Attitude.C. Family Influence or Social Changes.D. College Management or Communication Advancement.(B)Spanish-American InstituteStudent Cub NotesFree and Low Cost Gyms, Health Clubs and PoolsNYC Department of Parks Recreation CentersRecreation Centers: The NYC Department of Parks has many Recreation Centers throughout New York City.

You will probably fail to find ____________ on the home page.A. the cost for various membershipsB. the locations of recreations centersC. the staff and provided servicesD. the facilities, phones and web links(C)Just how much does the Constitution(宪法)protect your digital data? The Supreme Court will now consider whether police can search the contents of a mobile phone without a warrant(授权令)if the phone is on or around a person during an arrest.California has asked the justices to restore the practice that the police may search through the contents of suspects’ smartphones at the time of their arrest. It is hard, the state says, for judges to assess the implications of new and rapidly changing technologies.The justices would be careless if they fo llowed California’s advice. They should start by rejecting California’s weak argument that exploring the contents of a smart phone is similar to say, going through a suspect’s wallet. The court has ruled that police don’t offend against the Fourth Amendmen t(修正案)when they go through the wallet, of an arrestee without a warrant. In fact, exploring one’s smartphone is more like entering his or her home. A smartphone may contain anarrestee’s reading history, financial history, medical history and comprehensive records of recent correspondence.Americans should take steps to protect their own digital privacy and should avoid putting important information in smartphones. But keeping sensitive information on these devices is increasingly a requirement of normal life. Citizens still have a right to expect private documents to remain private and protected by the Constitution’s prohibition on unreasonable searches.In many cases, it would not be very difficult for authorities to obtain a warrant to search through phone contents. They could still trump(打出王牌)the Fourth Amendment protections when facing severe and dangerous circumstances, such as the threat of immediate harm, and they could take reasonable measures to ensure that phone data are not deleted or altered while a warrant is on the way. The justices, though, may want to allow room for police to cite situations where they are entitled to more flexibility.But the justices should not swallow California’s argument whole. New technology sometimes demands fresh applications of the Constitution’s protections. Orin Kerr, a law professor, compares the explosion and accessibility of digital information in the 21st century with the establishment of automobile use as a digital necessity of life in the 20th. At that time, the justices had to explain new rules for the new personal domain(领域)of cars. Similarly, the justices must sort out how the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution applies to digital information now.73. The Supreme Court will work out whether, during an arrest, it is legal to ____________.A. search for suspects’ mobile phones without a warrantB. check suspects’ phone contents without beingauthorizedC. prevent suspects from deleting their phone contentsD. prohibit suspects from using their mobile phones74. The author’s attitude toward California’s argument is one of ____________.A. toleranceB. indifferenceC. disapprovalD. carefulness75. The author believes that exploring one’s phone content is comparable to ____________.A. getting into one’s residenceB. handing one’s historical recordsC. scanning one’s correspondencesD. going through one’s wallet76. In Paragraph 4 and 5, the author shows his concern that ____________.A. principles are hard to be clearly expressedB. the court is giving police less room for actionC. phones are used to store sensitive informationD. citizens’ privacy is not effectively protected77. Orin Kerr’s comparison is quoted to indicate that ____________.A. the Constitution should be carried out flexiblyB. New technology also requires reinterpretation of the ConstitutionC. California’s argument goes against principles of the ConstitutionD. Principles of the Constitution should never be alteredSection C (8分)Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possiblewords.No one should be forced to wear a uniform under any circumstance. Uniforms are demanding to the human spirit and totally unnecessary in a democratic society. Uniforms tell the world that the person who wears one has no value as an individual but only lives to function as a part of a whole. The individual in a uniform loses all self-worth.There are those who say that wearing a uniform gives a person a sense of identificationwith a larger, more important concept. What could be more important than the individual himself? If an organization is so weak that it must rely on cloth and buttons to inspire its members, that organization has no right to continue its existence. Others say that the practice of making persons wear uniforms, say in a school, eliminates all envy and competition in the matter of dress, such that a poor person who cannot afford good-quality clothing is not to be belittled by a wealthy person who wears expensive quality clothing. Those persons conveniently ignore such concepts as freedom of choice and individuality. It is only a short step from forcing everyone to drive the same car, have the same type of foods. When this happens, all motivation to improve one’s life is remove d. Why would parents bother to work hard so that their children could have a better life than they had when they know that their children are going to be forced to have exactly the same life that they had?Uniforms also hurt the economy. Right now, billions of dollars are spent on the fashion industry yearly. Thousands of persons are employed in designing, creating and marketing different types of clothing. If everyone were forced to wear uniforms, artistic personnel would be unnecessary. Sales personswould be superfluous as well; why bother to sell the only items that are available? The wearing of uniforms would destroy the fashion industry, which in turn would have a ripple effect on such industries as advertising and promotion. Without advertising, newspapers, magazines, and television would not be able to remain in business. One entire information and entertainment industry would collapse.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)78.
