A
The question of whether our government should promote science and technology or the liberal arts in higher education isn’t an either / or one, although the current emphasis on preparing young Americans for STEM (science, technology, engineering, maths)-related fields can make it seem that way.
The latest congressional report acknowledges the critical importance of technical training, but also insists that the study of the humanities and social sciences must remain central elements of America’s educational system at all levels. Both areas are the key to producing citizens who can participate effectively in our democratic society, become innovative leaders, and benefit from the spiritual enrichment that the reflection on the great ideas of mankind over time provides.
Parents and students who have invested heavily in higher education worry about graduates’ job prospects as technological advances and changes in domestic and global markets transform professions in ways that reduce wages and cut jobs. Under these circumstances, it’s natural to look for what may appear to be the most “practical” way out of the problem; “major in a subject designed to get you a job” seems the obvious answer to some, though this ignores the fact that many disciplines in the humanities characterized as “soft” often, in fact, lead to employment and success in the long run. Indeed, according to surveys, employers have expressed a preference for students who have received a broadly-based education that has taught them to write well, think critically, research creatively, and communicate easily.
Moreover, students should be prepared not just for their first job, but for their 4th and 5th jobs, as there’s little reason to doubt that people entering the workforce today will be called upon to play many different roles over the course of their careers. The ones who will do the best in this new environment will be those whose educations have prepared them to be flexible. The ability to take advantage of every available tool and insight—picked up from science, arts, and technology—to solve the problems of the future, and seize the opportunities, will be helpful to them and the nation.
1. What does the latest congressional report suggest?
A. STEM-related subjects help students find jobs in the information society.
B. The humanities and STEM subjects should be given equal importance.
C. The liberal arts in higher education help enrich students’ spiritual life.
D. Higher education should be adjusted to the practical needs of society.
2. What is the main concern of students when they choose a major?
A. Their interest in relevant subjects.
B. The academic value of the courses.
C. The quality of education to receive.
D. Their chances of getting a good job.
3. What does the author say about the so called “soft” subjects?
A. They benefit students in their future life.
B. They broaden students’ range of interests.
C. They just improve students’ communication skills.
D. They are essential to students’ healthy growth.
B
In the world of Chinese archaeology(考古学), a sign of a dig's importance is the sight of Zhou Mingsheng at work. A field technician who has worked at archaeological sites all aroundChina. Master Zhou iscredited with the gentlest touch in his profession. Born into a farming family, he is a “national-level craftsman” with a talent for using simple tools to get relics(遗物) that wouldcrumblein other hands, says his current boss, Wang Xu, director of an archaeological site at Shuanghuaishu, a Neolithic(新石器时代的) settlement near the Yellow River in the central province of Henan.
It is not beauty that attracts visitors to Shuanghuaishu. At 5,300 years old, the settlement is the work of a culture too simple to have left behind many buried treasures. The single most precious find, to date, is a finger-length sculpture of a silkworm. Nor is the setting lovely: an area surrounded by deafening insects, between a highway and two power stations. Rather, the site's importance is historical. For since the birth of Chinese archaeology in the 1920s, it has been inseparable from claims thatChinahas the oldest unbroken civilisation on Earth.
Leading archaeologists say that the site has the right combination of location, age and distinctive cultural elements to be the capital of an early Chinese kingdom. That would make it a bridge betweenChina's written history and the era of the Yellow Emperor, who is said to rule over these central plains almost 5,000 years ago, though many foreign scholars doubt his existence. Chinese media call the site proof ofChina's 5,000 years of history.
Foreigners complain about a lack of written records, Mr. Wang notes. Perhaps they are missing symbols that will one day be understood, for instance in patterned pottery. Outsiders “can't keep using Western standards to apply to Chinese ruins,” he argues.
4. What does the underlined word “crumble” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Break.
B. Start.
C. Wait.
D. Shine.
5. Why does Shuanghuaishu attract visitors?
A. It has appealing scenery.
B. It has various precious treasures.
C. It is of great historical significance.
D. It is easily accessible.
6. What is Mr. Wang's attitude towards foreigners’ view?
A. Unconcern.
B. Disapproving.
C. Supportive.
D. Not mentioned.
7. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Chinese history amazes the world.
B. Chinese archaeology catches on.
C. China follows its tradition.
D.Chinadigs its past.
C
Over 180 teenage girls from LixianCounty No. 1 Middle School in Longnan city, Gansu province, listened carefully to a lecture about neuroscience (神经科学). It was delivered by a director of the experimental surgery department at The Second Affiliated Hospital of the Air Force Medical University in Xi’an.
The students also joined a science class to make paper rockets to launch into the sky. A plastic bottle was connected with a long pipe joined to the end of the rocket, and students stepped heavily on the middle of the bottle so hard that the air pressure shot the rocket upward.
The program started in 2016 as a one-week summer camp in Beijing that invited female students to take science courses and to interact with women in science. It aims to stir (激发) an interest in science and technology among female students.
“I’m excited to take the opportunity because it’s been my biggest wish to popularize science among students. They can broaden their eyes and hopefully some of them will devote themselves to the field of neuroscience,” the director says. “It’s necessary to bring more of these activities on campus. I’m willing to communicate with teenagers, some of whom ask deep and thoughtful questions that I would never think of.”
The key to science popularization is to imbue (灌输) others with the spirit of science. Some scientific and technological workers have devoted themselves to a job in a certain field and they enjoy the pleasure of scientific research. Female Chinese scientific and technological workers sometimes have to double their efforts to receive the same treatment or recognition as those male scientific workers. However, after years of continued effort, the situation will improve, showing the increasing number of female scientists in China.
8. What is the purpose of the program?
A. To praise the efforts of women scientists.
B. To find out how much girls love science.
C. To develop interest in science among girls.
D. To show love for students in Western China.
9. How does the director think of the program?
A. Important.
B. Challenging.
C. Confusing.
D. Serious.
10. What is the most important in science popularization?
A. Enjoying the fun of scientific research.
B. Filling people with the spirit of science.
C. Holding more scientific activities on campus.
D. Forcing students to choose scientific subjects.
11. What can we learn from the text?
A. One can go anywhere if he/she learns science well.
B. People have a stronger sense of science than before.
C. Male scientists are much easily recognized than female ones.
D. Thedirector graduated from Lixian County No. 1 Middle School.
D
In Australia, plenty of wild things can bite or sting(刺伤) you. Strangely enough, one of them is a tree. Now scientists have figured out what makes the tree’s sting so bad.
The rainforests of eastern Australia are home to a stinging tree known as Dendrocnide. Many people callit the gympie-gympie tree—a name given to the tree by native Australians. It’s covered with sharp, needle-like hairs that carry poison. If you touch a gympie-gympie tree, you won’t forget it anytime soon. The pain can stay with you for hours, days or weeks. In some cases, it’s been reported to stay for months.
Scientists have long looked for the source of this powerful sting. Now researchers at the University of Queensland have discovered what makes this stinging plant so painful. After carefully studying different kinds of gympie-gympie trees, the scientists were able to separate out different chemicals that the trees produce. This allowed them to identify a group of chemicals that they believed was responsible for the pain.
The researchers created artificial versions of these chemicals, which they call “gympietides”. Sure enough, when the scientists injected mice with gympietides, the mice licked(舔) at the places where they’d been injected, indicating that they hurt in those places. When the scientists studied the way gympietides were built, they found
that they formed a knot-like shape. The shape makes the chemicals very stable, which helps explain why the pain stays so long.
The knot-like shape of the gympietides was similar to the shape of poisons produced by poisonous spiders and cone snails. The scientists were surprised to see three very different kinds of life all using similar poisons. Spiders and cone snails carry poisons because they catch food by stinging other creatures. It’s not clear how stinging helps the gympie-gympie tree.
Though the tree’s sting may stop some animals from eating it, it doesn’t stop all animals. Beetles and pademelons (small s of the kangaroo) are able to eat the plant without trouble.
12. Why is a touch on the stinging tree unforgettable?
A. Because it has so unusual an appearance.
B. Because it is extremely rare in existence.
C. Because touching it creates a quite strange feeling.
D. Because the pain caused by it doesn’t go away quickly.
13. What do scientists fail to find out about the stinging tree?
A. How it produces poisons.
B. What poisons it produces.
C. How it benefits from the sting.
D. The consequences of its sting.
14. What does the text imply about the stinging tree?
A. It produces the same poisons as spiders.
B. Poisonous as it is, it also has natural enemies.
C. Animals are wise enough to stay away from it.
D. Only one chemical in it causes pain to the toucher.
15. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Scientists Discover Stinging Tree's Secret
B. Caution: Stinging Tree Can Bite and Poison You
C. Scientists Discover a Strange Species in Australia
D. Effective Ways to Avoid Being Hurt by Stinging Tree

选项中有两项为多余选项It happens all the time-you are standing on a bus, listening to music, when you feel someone's breath on the back of your neck. You think to yourself: Is this person getting too close to me? The answer is yes. Everyone has a sense of personal space.____16____
According to a new study, the size of the space is different for different people,____17____reported Los Angeles Times. In the study, researchers from University College of London asked volunteers to hold their hands at
different distances from their face. They then gave them an electric shock on their hand while measuring how often the volunteers blinked. The more they blinked(眨眼),___18___
The results among volunteers were a little different but the average personal space was 20 to 40 centimeters. Researchers also found that the more anxious a person was, the larger their personal space was because they were more sensitive.
Besides psychological factors,___19___. For example, a person who grew up in a country that hugs a lot has less of a problem with strangers getting too close than a person who grew up in one with more distance between people.

Dear Mr. Mayor,
I am a student from Xinhua High School. I am writing to suggest that building a pedestrian bridge in front of our school gate.
Every day, thousands of students need cross the street, which usually leads to a big traffic jam during the busily hours. As for students, it will be the waste of time to wait for a dangerous chance to cross the road with cars pass by very fast. More importantly, in the past few years, there had been tens of accidents involving students, in many of them students were severely injured or even killed. But if it is a pedestrian bridge, the traffic pressure will be eased, and students' secure can be guaranteed.
I sincerely hope you can take my advice for account.
Respectfully yours,
