So when her teacher Andrea Smeeton received information about the national challenge, Smeeton said she immediately had one student in mind.“I knew she would love the challenge and that she would go way beyond in her re search,” Smeeton said. “She immediately started researching bone density (密度) of astronauts and how to have food on Mars.”“My design will ensure the safety of t he astronauts but also make sure their comfort is out of this world,” Dobek says.Dobek’s design calls for building the MSS or Mars Storage Station to put the supplies in. It also includes the SGF or Self-Growing Farm, and she details how it would work with the elements on Mars.Then there is physical and leisure activity for the astronauts under Dobek’s design. A simulator (模拟装置) allows astronauts to choose their exercise machine and virtual (虚拟的) reality environment. Rooms have circular ceilings so astronauts will be able to watch downloaded shows and even see places on Earth, such as their homes.“I want to tell other kids to follow their passions,” Dobek said. “Whatever they want to do, they should push for it and always try their best.”24.What did Dobek tell other kids?A.Kids should stay in the comfort zone.B. Kids should follow their dreams .C. Kids should travel to Mars.D. Kids should care about others.25. Dobek first became interested in space when .A. she was still a seventh-graderB. she studied at junior high schoolC. she lived on the top of their houseD. she watched an eclipse of the moon26. Smeeton recommended that Dobek take the challenge because .A. she knew Dobek liked challenges in lifeB. she had no other students interested in MarsC. she was sure that Dobek would have outstanding performanceD. Dobek knew how to research bone density of astronauts27. What does Dobek focus on when designing the space station?A. The environment on Mars.B. The supplies of foodC. The physical activities for astronauts.D. The safety and comfort of the astronauts.CWilliam I, who conquered England some 930 years ago, had wealth, power and an army. Yet although William was very rich by the standard of his time, he had nothing like a flush toilet (抽水马桶), paper towels, or riding lawn mower (除草机). How did he get by?History books are filled with wealthy people who were poor compared to me. I have storm windows, Croesus did not. Entire nations trembled before Alexander the Great, but he couldn’t buy cat food. Czar Nicholas lacked an electric saw.Given how much better off I am than so many famous dead people, you’d think I’d be content. The trouble is that, like most people, I compare my wealth with that of living persons: neighbors, school classmates, famous TV people. The greed I feel toward my friend Howard’s new kitchen is not reduced by the fact that no kings ever had a refrigerator with glass doors.There is really no rising or falling standard of living. Over the centuries people simply find different things to feel sad about. You’d think that simply not havingdisease would put us in a good mood, but no, we want a hot bath too.Of course, one way to achieve happiness would be to realize that even by today’s standards the things I own are pretty nice. My house is smaller than the houses of many investment bankers, but even so it has a lot more rooms than my wife and I can keep clean.Besides, to people looking back at our era from a century or two in the future, these bankers’ fancy counter tops and my own worn Formica will seem equally shabby.I can’t keep up with my neighbors right now. But just wait.28. What does the underlined phrase “get by” in the first paragraph mea n?A. Succeed as a king.B. Deal with complaints.C. Live in a satisfactory way. D Get the money needed.29. How many historical figures are mentioned to compare lives in the past and present?A. 4.B. 3.C. 5.D. 6.30.According to the passage, the author intends to .A. warn us to live in a simple way.B. tell us to be content with lifeC. teach us to learn lessons from lifeD. encourage us to struggle for wealth31.What’s the author’s attitude towards life?A. Doubtful.B. Optimistic.C. Cautious.D. Negative.DMarvin Minsky is often called the Father of Artificial Intelligence. His work helped inspire the creation of the personal computer and the Internet.Artificial IntelligenceBefore Minsky, computers were more like calculators, performing maths operations at speeds much faster than humans. Minsky was the first to say that computers can one day be as intelligent as human beings. He was so convinced about this, that in 1919, he and his friend John McCarthy invented the term “Artificial Intelligence” at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.Minsky wrote a book called Perceptrons, describing a particular type of “artificial neural (神经的) network”.Neural networks have made a comeback in a new field of Computer Science called Deep Learning. Deep Learning is used to recognize things and people in pictures (as seen in Facebook and Google Photos), languagetranslation (try Google Translate sometimes), and so on.Robotics, Microscopes and Virtual RealityHow many of you have done Robotics at school and loved it? You have Minsky to thank again, for his work on Robotics. One of his biggest inventions was the confocal scanning microscope, an instrument that is still widely used today in medical and scientific research.Minsky was really futuristic. He created one of the first headmounted graphics displays (头戴式图形显示), which gave rise to the exciting area of Virtual Reality. This year, Facebook is releasing Oculus, a virtual reality headset, which you can use to play games with your friends in a 3D environment.Minsky's major prediction that computers will one day become as intelligent as humans is now called the Theory of Singularity.32. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.Minsky himself inven ted the term “Artificial Intelligence” in MIT.B.Minsky transformed computer into a machine more intelligent than human beings.C.Apart from Information Technology, Minsky's invention is also used in medical field.D.Minsky often play games in a 3D enviro nment.33. Which is NOT the function of Deep Learning?A.Recognize people in Facebook.B.Spot items in Google Photos.C.Summarize main idea of a passage.D.Translate English into French.34. Which is one of Minsky's characteristics according to the passage?A.Foolish. B.Creative. C.Humourous. D.Considerate.35. In which section of a newspaper can you read this passage?A.Technology. B.Travel. C.Environment. D.Life.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。

AA painting of a famous artist could cost several million dollars in the market. This is why many artworks-even those that are housed inside highly guarded museums-go missing. Here is a list of some of the most famous paintings that were lost, stolen or destroyed.Vincent Van Gogh' s Poppy FlowersThis artwork was housed at the Mohammed Mahmoud Khalil Museum in Cairo. It was first lost in 1977, but was recovered 10 years after. The second time this same Vincent Van Gogh painting was stolen was in August of 2010. The painting is estimated (估价) to be worth something between $50 and $55 million.Pablo Picasso' s Le Pigeon Aux PetitsStolen on May 20, 2010, this painting by Spanish painter Pablo Picasso is worth $28 million. It was stolen at the Musee d' Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, along with five other artworks. However, the thieves threw the painting away in a trashcan when they were caught. But that container was emptied before the authorities got there. It was feared that the painting was already destroyed.Paul Cezanne' s View of Auvers Sur OiseLost on December 31, 1990, this artwork that used to be on exhibition at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford was stolen the night before the city's Millennium celebration. The thieves planned the robbery in time with the fireworks exhibition during peak of the celebrations. This artwork is estimated to be worth $5 million. Covert Flinck' s Landscape with an ObeliskStolen on March 18, 1990, this artwork was at the Isabella Steward Gardner Museum in Boston. This painting by Covert Flinck was previously believed to be a Rembrandt creation. A huge cash reward of $5 million will be given to the person who can provide information leading to the recovery of the painting.21. In which of the following cities was Le Pigeon Aux Petits stolen?A. Cairo.B. Paris.C. Oxford.D. Boston.22. Who was mistakenly thought to create Landscape with an Obelisk?A. Pablo Picasso.B. Paul Cezanne.C. Covert Flinck.D. Rembrandt.23. What can we infer about the four artworks mentioned in the text?A. Some of them are given an approximate price.B. They all are stolen when on exhibition.C. Some of them are lost 30 years.D. Some of them have been found so far.BIn the US TV series Friends, Rachel Green is a classic example of a pushover. More often than not, she gives in to her childhood friend Monica Geller’s demands on trivial (琐碎的)things such as what to eat for a lunch, even if she has her ownpreference.Like Rachel, some people find themselves being constantly influenced by others. There are all kinds of reasons why they would act as easy-going and flexible as Rachel does. Maybe the topic of discussion just isn’t something that interests them. Take household issues for example. Most men don’t get overly excited at the idea of buying new kitchenware. So it’s not uncommon to hear a husband tell his wife “you can buy whatever you like” or “I don’t care”. Technically, he’s being a pushover. But he’s also being fle xible, avoiding any future conflict.Have you ever been traveling with friends and disagreed with them about which scenic spots you should visit? Maybe you had your own opinions on where to go, but you just said, “Oh, I’m fine if we don’t go there. It’s your call.” Being easy-going is certainly a virtue that helps sustain good relationships and makes you a person that others want to be around. It can make you look like a pushover to others, but if you’re OK with that, then it’s fine. There’s nothing wrong w ith it.But if you hate being thought of as a pushover, then maybe it’s time you should learn to say “no”. No is a simple yet powerful word. You don’t have to do or participate in anything that you don’t want to. It won’t upset the people around you half as much as you fear it will, and if it does then they will get over it in time. Taking a firm stand clearly defines your likes and dislikes, which can also be an endearing (讨人喜欢的)character trait.24.What is a pushover likely to do when going to the cinema with a friend?A. Hesitate about which film to see.B. Choose to see the film her friend likes.C. Quarrel with her friend about what to see.D. Persuade her friend to see her favorite film.25. When it comes to buying kitchenware, a husband tends to tell his wife “you can buy whatever you like” because ________A. He wants to show his language techniques.B. He would like to please his wife.C. He just wants to avoid conflict in future.D. He is a caring husband26.What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Doing anything friends ask you to do.B. Hating being considered as a pushover.C. Saying “no”to something you don’t want.D. Being easy-going to the people around you.27.What’s the author’s attitude towards being a pushover?A. Neutral.B. DisapprovingC. Favorable.D. Reserved.CMy son Mason recently turned three and to celebrate it, we had a cookout with friends. Fortunately, many friends have kids his age. When kids congregate (聚集) there is a sense that chaos is right around the corner. Once the screaming begins, little bodies scatter to their moms and dads and fingers point at the perceived wrongdoer. This happens because they don’t know how to work together. They can learn, however.Interestingly similar enough, when the new school year begins, teachers puttingthe students in groups and expecting them to work together on a common task, things will break down. The teacher, wrongly assuming students are unwilling to work together rather than unable, will say things like “Work together,” or even “You are in ___ grade now. You should be able to cooperate.” The teacher may even go as far as putting students back into rows because they do not seem ready to work in teams. Often, though, students want to work together, they just don’t know how. Fortunately, just like Mason and his friends, all students can learn to be effective members of a team.In any academic discipline, the ability to function as a team requires a host of skills. Because teamwork skills translate across content areas and provide the foundation for learning in today’s classrooms, they demand significant attention in our classrooms. So, how can teachers support students in acquiring these skills?Teachers can best teach teamwork skills early by having students practice them with activities that are independent of academic content. Depending on students’ ages, teachers may introduce one or more of the following teamwork skills during activities: developing and sharing ideas, listening, positive behavior, individual participation, and coming to agreement. Specifically, teachers should work with students to establish a common understanding of the desired skills and model examples and nonexamples before allowing them to practice on their own. Fortunately, there is no shortage of activities that will get students eager to think and work together. In addition to more well-known team-building activities, such as the “human knot,” there has recently been an influx (流入) of stand-alone team activities known as STEM activities.28. The underlined sentence in Para1 is written to ___________.A. picture a scene of kids playing together noisilyB. indicate the kids’ lack of ability to look after themselvesC. express the writer’s affection to the lovely kidsD. describe the kids’ reaction when they are in conflict29. The teachers try to persuade the students to cooperate on the assumption that ___________.A. the students should be effective team members naturallyB. the students are lacking in cooperative abilityC. the students don’t intend to cooperate wellD. the students need to be trained for cooperative tasks30.We can learn from the passage that_____A. The students are unwilling to work together.B. Teamwork indeed requires a wealth of skills.C. Teachers can best teach teamwork skills early by having students practice them with activities related to academic content.D. There are limited activities that get students trained in teamwork skills.31. What is the best way to teach the students teamwork skills in classrooms?A. Guide the students to have an understanding of teamwork skills.B. Let them enjoy stand-alone activities like STEM.C. Inspire the students to think positively.D. Practice their teamwork skills during activitiesDDon't let the name fool you: a black hole is anything but empty space. Rather, it is a great amount of matter packed into a very small area-think of a star ten times bigger than the sun squeezed into a ball approximately the diameter (直径) of New York City. The result produces such a strong gravitational field that nothing, not even light, can escape. In recent years, NASA instruments have painted a new picture of these strange objects that are, to many, the most fascinating objects in space.The idea of an object in space so massive and dense (密度大的) that light could not escape it has been around for centuries. Most famously, black holes were predicted by Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, which showed that when a massive star dies, the center of the star falls in upon itself, or falls apart. When this happens, it explodes part of the star into space and leaves behind a small core with its great density. If the core' s mass is more than about three times the mass of the sun, then the force of gravity is greater than all other forces and produces a black hole.Scientists can't directly observe black holes with telescopes that detect (探测) x-rays, light, or other forms of radiation. We can, however, infer the presence of black holes and study them by detecting their influence on other matter nearby. If a black hole passes through a cloud of matter, for example, it will draw matter inside in a process known as addition. A similar process can occur if a normal star passes close to a black hole. In this case, the black hole can tear the star apart as it pulls it towards itself. As the attracted matter accelerates and heats up, it gives off x-rays that radiate into space. Recent discoveries offer some evidence that black holes have a dramatic influence on the neighborhoods around them - giving off powerful gamma ray bursts, swallowing nearby stars, and accelerating the growth of new stars in some areaswhile postponing it in others.32. Why does a black hole have such a powerful gravity?A. Its area is small.B. It is empty space.C. Its density is great.D. It contains much light.33. How many stages are there from a massive star to a black hole?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.34. How do scientists research black holes?A. By studying matter nearby them.B. By observing them with telescopes.C. By collecting some light from them.D. By receiving powerful gamma ray bursts.35. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. The Birth of a Black HoleB. The First Picture of a Black HoleC. Some Unknown Secrets of Black HolesD. A New Scientific Discovery:Black Holes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。

ADear Alfred,I want to tell you how important your help is to my life.Growing up, I had people telling me I was too slow, though, with an IQ of 150at 17, I’ m anything but stupid. The fact was that I was found to have ADHD(注意力缺点多动阻碍). Anxious all the time, I was unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time.However, when something did interest me, I could become absorbed. In high school,I became curious about the computer, and built my first website. Moreover, Icompleted the senior course of Computer Basics, plus five relevant pre-collegecourses.While I was exploring my curiosity, my disease got worse. I wanted to go tohome until college after high school, but couldn ’ t . So, I was killing my time atJune 2012 when I discovered the online computer courses of your training center.Since then, I have taken courses like Data Science and Advanced Mathematics.Currently,I ’ m learning your Probability course. I have hundreds of printer paper, covered in self-written notes from your video. This has given me a purpose.Last year, I spent all my time looking for a job where, without dealing withthe public , I could work alone, but still have a team to talk to. Luckily, Idiscovered the job— Data Analyst— this month and have been going full steam ahead.I want to prove that I can teach myself a respectful profession, without goingto college, and be just as good as, if not better than, my competitors.Thank you. You’ ve given me hope that I can follow my heart. For the first time,I feel good about myself because I’ m doing something, not because someone toldme I was doing good. I feel whole.This is why you’ re saving my life.Yours,Tanis1.Why didn ’ t Tanis go to college after high school?A.She had learned enough about computer scienceB.She had more difficulty keeping focusedC.She preferred taking online coursesD.She was too slow to learn2.As for the working environment, Tanis prefers____.A . working by herself B. dealing with the publicC. competing against othersD. staying with ADHD students3.Tanis wrote this letter in order to_____.A.explain why she was interested in the computerB.share the ideas she had for her professionC.show how grateful she was to the centerD.describe the courses she had taken so farB“ Did you hear what happened to Adam Last Friday?” Lindsey whispers to Tori.With her eyes shining, Tori brags,“ You bet I did,Sean told me two days ago. ”Who are Lindsey and Tori talking about?It just happened to be yours truly,Adam Freedmam. I can tell you that what they are saying is (a) not nice and (b) not even true. Still, Lindsey and Tori aren’ t very different from most students here atLinton High School, including me. Many of our conversations are gossip(闲话).Ihave noticed three effects of gossip: it can hurt people, it can give gossipersa strange kind of satisfaction, and it can cause social pressures in a group.An important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person beingtalked ually,gossip spreads information about a topic-breakups,trouble at home,even dropping out-that a person would rather keep secret.The more embarrassing or shameful the secret is,the juicier the gossip it makes. Probablythe worst type of gossip is the absolute lie. People often think of gossipers asharmless, but cruel lies can cause pain.If we know that gossip can be harmful, then why do so many of us do it?Thatanswer lies in another effect of gossip:the satisfaction it gives us. Sharing the latest rumor( 传言 )can make a person feel important because he or she knows something that others don’ t.Similarly,hearing the latest rumor can make a person feel like part of the“ in group. ” In other words, gossip is satisfying because it givespeople a sense of belonging or even superiority(优胜感 ).Gossip also can have a third effect:it strengthens unwritten,unspoken rules about how people should act.Professor David Wilson explains that gossip is important in policing behaviors in a group.Translated into high school terms,this means that if everybody you hang around with is laughing at what John wore or what Jane said, then you can bet that wearing or saying something similar will get youthe same kind of negative attention.The do’ s and don’ ts conveyed through gossip will never show up in any student handbook.The effects of gossip vary depending on the situation. The next time you feelthe urge to spread the latest news, think about why you want to gossip and whateffects your“ juicy story” might have.4.The author uses a conversation at the beginning of the passage to ______.A. introduce a topicB. present an argumentC. describe the charactersD. clarify his writing purpose5. In the author’s opinion, many people like to gossip because it ______.A. gives them a feeling of pleasureB. help them to make more friendsC. makes them better at telling storiesD. enables them to meet important people6.Professor David Wilson think that gossip can ______.A.provide students with written rulesB.help people watch their own behaviorsC.force school to improve student handbooksD. attract the police’ s attention to group behaviors7.What advice does the author give in the passage?A. Never become a gossiperB. Stay away from gossipersC. Don ’ t let gossip turn into liesD. Think twice before you gossip.CFor many years, I was convinced that my suffering was due to my size . I believed that when the weight disappeared, it would take old wounds , hurts and rejectionswith it .Many weight-conscious people also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything.Perhaps our worst mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved,being special,and being cherished. Wefantasize about what it will be like when we reach the long-awaited goal.We work very hard to realize this dream . Then , at last , we find ourselves there .But we often gain back what we have lost . Even so , we continue to believethat next time it will be different.Next time,we will keep it off .Next time, being thin will finally fulfill its promise of everlasting happiness ,self-worth, and , of course , love .It took me a long while to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty . Beauty standards vary with culture . In Samoa a woman is notconsidered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds . More importantly,if it’s happiness that we want , why not put our energy there rather than on thesize of our body ? Why not look inside ? Many of us strive hard to change our body , but in vain . We have to find a way to live comfortably inside our body and makefriends with and cherish ourselves . Whenwe change our attitudes toward ourselves, the whole world changes .8. The passage tries to tell us the importance of___________.A. body size B . different beauty standardsC. culture difference D. attitudes toward life9. What does the word“ everything” in paragraph 2 mean ?A. The whole world B. All the properties .C. All the problems .D. The absolute truth .10. What can be inferred about the author ?A. The author is a Samoan .B. The author succeeded in losing weight .C. The author probably got wounded in wars or accidents .D. The author has been troubled by her/his weight .11. According to the author , what is the common view of those who have lost some weight first and gained it back later ?A. They feel optimistic about future plans on weight control.B. They are indifferent to the regained weight .C. The feel angry about the regained weight .D. They think they should give up their future plans on weight control .DA long weekend is a great opportunity people use a long weekend for a getaway,to do something a little different. ashort trip to leave the stress of theirManyeveryday lives behind and explore, learn, or relax.Hotel RomanceMany hotels and resorts feature something special to start the getaway, suchas champagnes ( 香槟酒 ),flowers,or a fruit basket in the room on arrival.Getaway packages usually include a room with something special, a heart shaped bed, forexample.Additional benefits could be room service meals or other private dining, plus tickets or discounts for local attractions.Visit a SpaSpa getaways can take place at a location that focuses only on spa servicesor at a hotel that offers a spa as one of its features.Somespas emphasize treatmentsfit for their geographic area or a local attraction. A spa in a grape growing region might provide grape juice masks, or a hotel near a hot spring could offer mineralbaths. Most spas offer a range of massage (按摩 ),health and beauty treatments,so a spa getaway can be relaxing with other benefits.Learn a SkillA long weekend may not be enough time to become an expert at something new,but it provides a way for people to begin their explorations. Some organizationsoffer intensive(集中的)courses that last two or three days. People with specialinterests can get away from their routines while learning such things as how tomake beer, speak a new language, or take better photos.Help OthersSome organizations cooperate with businesses to have accommodations activities for short-term volunteers. Most volunteer vacations involve ecologyfriendly or charity activities. A volunteer getaway is a way to relieve stress and andhelp others at the stone time.Stay in a National ParkFor those who want to relax in a rural environment, a national park fits the bill.

But that was before the pair of crows (乌鸦). Out of nowhere, they had set up their base camp in our backyard.We first discovered our feathered enemies on Friday morning. It was early, and the sound the birds made traveled through our neighborhood. I figured they'd go away soon. But, no. They were getting louder and probably annoying my neighbors nearly as much as us with the noise. I admit I got a little desperate.Then, on Sunday afternoon, I looked out the kitchen window to see our dog Quatchi staring at something on the ground. I went to explore and found a small coal-black bird in the grass. Its eyes were milky, and it stayed perfectly still as my dog walked towards it. Only when Quatchi touched his nose to its head did it walk away. I grabbed the dog and locked him inside and came back with my camera.It never occurred to me that the young would be hanging out on the ground, growing and gaining strength as its parents guarded it from above. The second I saw this little creature I forgave the crows.To be honest, I've never been much of a bird person. I also have a healthy respect for birds. They're basically living dinosaurs.I wish they'd chosen another backyard. There are only so many sunny days in Seattle, and I still can't do any gardening out there. But I'm also grateful that I got to see this little bit of nature unfold up close. It's pretty amazing.The experience has also strengthened my desire to create a beautiful backyard garden that attracts lots of bees, butterflies, and yes, birds. They are welcome here.24. The arrival of the two crows _____.A. angered the author's neighborsB. frightened the author's dogC. disturbed the author's lifeD. damaged the author's backyard25. Why did the author lock her dog up?A. She wanted to take some photos.B. She wanted to protect the little bird.C. The dog kept making loud noises.D. The parent crows were to attack the dog.26. After seeing the little crow, the author _____.A. decided to help look after itB. planned to drive the crows awayC. fell in love with the pair of crowsD. was curious to know its growing process27. The author writes the text mainly to _____.A. show an annoying situationB. share a personal experienceC. call on readers to protect birdsD. seek advice on dealing with crowsCEducators across the U.S. are calling for major changes to the admission process in higher education.The National Center for Educational Statistics (or NCES) reported that U.S. colleges and universities received more than 9 million applications between 2013 and 2014 and admitted more than 5 million students. But the problem is not in the number of students, a new report says. The report is called “Turning the Tide — Making Caring Common.”The report argues that the process schools use to choose students causes major problems. David Hawkins is the Executive Director for Educational Content and Policy. He says that most colleges and universities require many things from students when they apply.Schools usually require an essay describing a student’s interests or why they want to study at that school. The schools also ask for letters from teachers describing why a student is a good candidate. But, Hawkins says, schools are most concerned with a student’s high school grades and standardized test results.The Education Conservancy is an organization that fights to make higher education equal and available.Lloyd Thacker is the Executive Director of the Education Conservancy, saying that the college admission process has changed a lot.“Over the past 30 years, college admissions have become more complex.” He says that ranking systems for colleges and universities are a big part of the problem.U.S. News and World Report is a media company that creates a list of what it calls “America’s Best Colleges.” The company bases the list on information collected from colleges and universities across the country. This information includes results of standardizedtests like the SAT from all of a school’s students. Higher average test results help put schools higher on the list.Thacker claims, “Too many students are learning to do whatever it takes in order to get ahead, even if that means sacrificing their own individuality, their health, their happiness and behavior...”“The impact on students and on parents is that college is all about where you go. The rank has nothing to do with the quality of education that goes on at the college.”The Harvard report states that the best way to change the admission process is by changing college applications.28. When choosing students, colleges and universities attach greatest importance to _______.A. their personal interestB. their academic performanceC. their teachers’ opinionD. their reasons for application29. The media company ranks the schools on the basis of_______.A. peoples’ attitude towards the schoolsB. employment rate of its graduatesC. the schools’ teaching qualityD. information like test results30. Which of the following does Lloyd Thacker probably agree with?A. Colleges are supposed to admit more and more students.B. It is necessary to apply for a proper university by referring to the rank.C. There is little relationship between colleges’ rank and the quality of education.D. The better the applicants’ grades are, the more likely they will be admitted.31. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Higher Rankings Matter a Great Deal.B. Colleges Look to Change Admission Process.C. Colleges’ Admission Process Makes a Difference.D. Testing Results Determine Students’ Fate.DMy daughter went to see The Wild One recently and she commented that Marlon Brando was wearing jeans so long ago. Of course he helped set the trend, so that got me thinking about the link between films and trends in fashion. Fashion and films have gonehand in hand for long. The Wild One is a good example: it appeared in 1954, starring Brando. Dressed in a black leather motorcycle jacket, leather cap and jeans, he created a look which is still considered “cool” today. Everyone from Madonna to middle-aged men is seen wearing the classic leather motorcycle jacket.Another strong influence on fashion trends was Breakfast at Tiffany’s, starring Audrey Hepburn. She made famous the simple black dress that looks perfect at either a cocktail party or just standing around an expensive department store like Tiffany’s with a pastry and coffee in your hand, as Audrey Hepburn does in the film. She looks so elegant, wearing simple but beautiful dresses, big dark glasses and a string of pearls around her neck. Audrey Hepburn still influences women’s fashion with her “Tiffany’s look”.In more modern times, the film star Uma Thurman created a major fashion trend when she appeared in the film Pulp Fiction, made in 1994. Her style was very simple. Her black trousers, crisp white shirt and hair style was copied by women in the world.Influencing fashion trends can often be about timing. The movie Memoirs of a Geisha came just in time to start a trend in Japanese fashion. It started the Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi, who wore beautiful silk kimonos(和服), and it won an Oscar for Costume Design. Many travel companies picked up on the trend and ran “geisha trips” to Japan. The film has also led to a regained interest in kimonos. It is now quite common to see young Japanese women wearing kimonos not just on traditional occasions, but at various social events. The fashion is also beginning to spread to western countries.32. What is the best title of the passage?A. Films and fashion.B. Stars’ fashion.C. Influential films.D. Film cultures.33. Who will people associate Madonna wearing the leather motorcycle jacket with?A. Zhang Ziyi.B. Audrey Hepburn.C. Uma Thurman.D. Marlon Brando.34. What is implied in the film Breakfast in Tiffany’s according to the passage?A. One can be active by wearing black.B. One can be elegant by wearing simply.C. One can be famous by looking perfect.D. One can be stylish by eating at Tiffany’s.35. What does the film Memoirs of a Geisha lead to?A. The popularity of the Chinese actress.B. The worldwide reading of Geisha stories.C. The recovery of interest in kimonos.D. The “geisha trips” to social events.第二节(共5小题;每题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。
