A
Ella Wood will graduate from Miami University next year with a master’s degree
in public health. she is hoping to get a job in public health. But she has some worries.
Public service doesn't pay much, and her study at Miami University costs about $50,000 a year with living expenses. Ella has a scholarship from Miami University that covers just $4,000 a year and has taken out loans to pay for the rest. She would spend years paying back her student loans and not have money left over.
The good news is that in 2008, Congress recognized that there were so many students in
Ella’s position that it passed the College Cost Reduction Act. There were two programs established by this act that Ella could look into. The first is the income-based repayment plan, which allows lower-income graduates with a lot of debt to reduce their monthly payments. “Depending on a graduate's income and level of debt, the program, could limit her annual educational loan debt repayment to 15 percent of real income.”said Peter William, vice chairman of the College Saving Foundation.
The second is the public service loan forgiveness（贷款减免）plan, in which the federal government will
forgive the remaining debt of borrowers who make 10-year loan payment while working full time in public-service jobs. But the graduate must have a certain loan which is listed in the plan. “T ypically, it is projected that a borrower who performs public service under this program will repay only about one-fourth to one-half as much money as a borrower who does not,” William said. He also pointed out that public service is broadly defined and includes any government and nonprofit organization job.
21. What might Ella Wood be concerned most when she graduates next year?
A. She might not a master’s degree directly.
B. She might not find a job in public health easily.
C. She had to pay back her scholarship to Miami University.
D. She wondered how to ease the pain of being in debt for years.
22. How can Ella benefit from the first program mentioned in the passage?
A. The income tax will be cut down.
B. One four of debt will be forgiven.
C. The total amount of debt will be reduced.
D. Ella will have more time to pay back the debt.
23. We can learn from the passage that______.
A. every graduate will get a scholarship like Ella.
B. graduates who work in public service get the highest payment.
C. the federal government encourages graduates to work in public service.
D. the College Cost Reduction Act only helps graduates with master’s degree.
24.What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. The total expense in American universities is too high.
B. The US government is trying to relieve graduates from heavy debt.
C. There are a lot of different programs to help students pay their tuition.
D. The US government forces all students to choose public-service jobs.
B
Facebook and Twitter have become a significant threat to marriage – with social media now a factor in an increasing number of divorce cases, say lawyers.
One in seven married individuals have considered divorce because of their spouse’s （配偶） postings of Facebook or other online sites, according to research. A similar percentage admit that they search online for evidence of their spouse’s disloyalty, while nearly one in five say they have daily quarrels because of the way their husband or wife uses social media. The research was assigned by law firm Gordon in response to an increase in the number of its clients who said that Facebook, Skype, Snapchat, Twitter or other social media sites had played a part in their divorce.
Andrew Newbury, of law firm Gordon, said: ‘Social media is the new marriage. Five years ago Facebook was rarely mentioned in the context of a marriage ending, but now it has become common.” Social media, specific pictures and posts on Facebook, are now being routinely raised in divorces.’ The survey by Censuswide among 2011 husbands and wives, found the most common reasons for checking their spouse’s social media accounts were to discover who they were talking to, who they were meeting and where they were going. A quarter of the married people said the resulting suspicions
led to quarrels at least once a week, and 17 percent said such quarrels were daily events.
Arguments were caused by contact with former partners, by the sending of secret messages, and by the posting of ‘inappropriate’ pictures.Some 14 percent said they looked at their spouse’s social media with the specific intention of detecting evidence of adultery（出轨）.
25. The underlined word “disloyalty” in Paragraph 2 probably means_______.
A. affection
B. discomfort
C. dishonesty
D. violence
26. What might checking spouse’s social media accounts result in?
A. The couple let out secrets quickly.
B. The couple lost trust between each other.
C. All the couples quarreled at least once a week.
D. The couple felt comfortable about their relationship.
27. By saying “Social media is the new marriage minefield”, Andrew means that______.
A. a new marriage needs social media field
B. social media is a good thing to marriage
C. social media is a new field of communication
D. marriage ending will be caused by social media
28. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. Facebook, a Multifunctional Tool
B. Social Media, a Threat to Marriage
C. Posting Pictures is Killing Marriage
D. Argument about Social Media Sites
C

Most of us would like to have glowing skin, especially as we get older. The good news is that you don’t have to wait until summer to catch some sun rays. Scientists have found eating plenty of fruit and vegetables is by far the best way to achieve a healthy, golden glow.
Dr. Ian Stephen said, “Most people think that the best way to improve their skin color is to get a suntan（棕褐色）. But our research shows that eating lots of fruit and vegetables is actually more effective.”
The team first assessed the skin color of people in relation to their diet. Those who ate more fruit and vegetables a day were found to have a more golden, yellow skin color. Those with a healthy glow had a higher presence of carotenoids（类胡萝卜素）, which play a role in the immune system. Carotenoids are commonly found in fruit and vegetables such an yellow and red peppers, spinach, apricots and melons.
The team then studied the relation between skin tone and attractiveness. They used specialist software to operate the skin color on the images of 51 faces to simulate （模拟）more or less carotenoids and suntans. Participants were then asked to adjust the skin color to make the faces look as healthy as possible. Given the choice between skin color enhanced by suntans and skin color enhanced by carotenoids, people preferred the carotenoids skin color.
The study shows that not only do people use skin color to judge how healthy other individuals are, but they are accurate when they make those judgments. While this study focus on Caucasian（白种人的）faces, it suggests this phenomenon may exist across cultures, since similar preferences for skin yellowness are found in an African
population.
32. Which statement is TRUE according to the text”
A. Carotenoids are only found in the fruit.
B. Carotenoids are important in the immune system
C. Carotenoids can be improved by catching sun rays.
D. Carotenoids are the only factor that affects the skin color.
33. According to the text, people preferred________.
A. the yellow skin color
B. the skin color as white as possible
C. the skin color enhanced by suntans
D. the skin color enhanced by carotenoids
34. What can we lean from the text?
A. Young girls should not eat many melons.
B. There’s no need to worry about our skin color.
C. We cannot judge a person from his appearance.
D. Skin color is a clue to judge whether a person is healthy or not.
35. What’s the author’s intention of writing this passage?
A. To show us how to get glowing skin.
B. To persuade us to get suntans every day.
C. To explain different diets in different cultures.
D. To share his experience of improving the skin.

Nature is to us what water is to fish. Yet we don’t always realize it until it is too late.
With the development of modern technology，the population is increasing while resources are decreasing. What’s worse，pollution is getting more and more serious，which leads to the change of the climate and the extinction of lots of species.
Therefore，we must do something to protect not only our next generation but also ourselves. As is shown in the picture，today we plant trees and tomorrow the shade will be enjoyed by ourselves as well as our grandchildren. If we do something good to nature，it will do more to us.

Good morning. Here’s the forecast for the whole country until dawn tomorrow. In the south of the country，there will be thunderstorms in some places，especially in the southeast. In the north，things are a little better，with only the odd shower here and there，but generally a fairly dry day with temperatures up to 23 degrees Centigrade. Moving into the evening，any clouds there should clear up and most parts of the north should have a sunny evening and a clear night，with temperatures dropping to near freezing in exposed areas. Tonight in the south，it should stay the same，still some quite heavy showers in some places and thunderstorms in the southeast. Temperatures in the south during the day are about average for this year. That’s about 20 degrees Centigrade，and it remains fairly mild during the night，dropping to around 15 degrees in the early hours of the morning. Finally the outlook for tomorrow：little change in the south，but it will continue to get brighter in the north. Well，that’s it from me. Have a nice day.。
