AAttending college can be expensive, and applying to college can be costly as well. With today’s college application fees averaging around $ 80, you can expect to spend hundreds of dollars on college before you are even accepted into a school.One of the easiest ways to save money on college application fees before you begin applying is to narrow down your list of schools. To save money, try to limit the schools to which you apply to about 2-3 reach schools and 2-3 safety schools.At some schools, being a relative of a graduate can secure you a free application. If you are applying to a school where one of your parents or grandparents is a former graduate, check to see if you’re qualified for it. Research the preferred method of applying for each school on your list. Some schools offer free online applications, yet charge a fee for paper submissions. This is because online applications save schools the cost of employing a staff member to physically enter the application information.Several states, such as Michigan and North Carolina, take part in College Application Week, where many schools in the participating states cancel their application fee for the week. Be sure to contact the schools to I j which you are applying to see if they participate in College Application Week and when the program takes place in that state.Apply for early admission. If you have already decided on which college is your top choice, consider applying under an Early Action or Early Decision admission program. If you are accepted, you won’t have to submit application fees to other schools.For more information regarding college applications and the fees associated with them, contact your high I school advisor or the admissions department at your school(s) of interest.21. The passage is mainly written to______.A. introduce famous universities in the United StalesB. show some practical ways to apply an ideal collegeC. advertise for successful applications and advisorsD. offer tips to save money on college application fees22. What does the author advise to do in the second paragraph?A. Write down your favorite universities.B. Reduce the number of your university choices.C. Apply to two universities each time.D. Mind your safety when applying to college.23. Some schools offer free online application to______,A. receive fees faster than beforeB. employ someone else to workC. cut down the cost of employmentD. enter the application information24. It can be known from the passage that______,A. application fee might be canceled conditionallyB. many countries attend College Application WeekC. applying for early admission is the best policyD. admission departments determine your futureBEvery year, some 6.9 million children under the age of five die from diseases like malaria, pneumonia and HIV. The untold story of child survival is that the global community now has the combined knowledge, technical know-how and affordable tools to end such child deaths. Evidence shows that it is possible to decrease under-five death rates in developing countries to levels approaching those in wealthier countries.That is why 4 years ago —June, 2012 —the US, Ethiopia and India joined the United Nations Children’s Fund (or UNICEF) to launch Child Survival Call to Action, a global effort to save children’s lives. The goal was to lower child death rates in the hardest-hit countries to 20 deaths per 1,000 live birthsby the year 2035.Zambia started a plan focused on nutrition and immunization (免疫) that will save more than 26,000 children each year. Congo is distributing pre-packaged supplies to prevent and treat the most common killers. They hope to save the lives of half a million children by 2017. Similar efforts are taking place in Ethiopia, Bangladesh, Yemen, and elsewhere.Child Survival partner companies are also developing life-saving vaccines (疫苗) and treatment for diarrhea. Private enterprisers and medical professionals are training and equipping health workers in 54 countries with life-saving tools. Still others are developing and delivering safe water treatment and storage products.“This high-level forum inspired a global movement —Committing to Child Survival: A Promise Renewed,”wrote UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake. “Four years passing, it continues to build and, today, 174 countries and over 400 civil society and faith-based organizations have taken up the charge in their own commitments. While we still have a long way to go, the first 4 years have seen impressive gains.”25. The underlined word “those”in Paragraph 1 refers to______.A. 6. 9 million under-five childrenB. affordable tools to end child deathC. deaths in the developing countriesD. death rates of children under five26. Child Survival Call To Action was founded to______.A. improve the living conditions for poor childrenB. decrease under-five death rates in some countriesC. raise some money to save children’s livesD. save children in the poorest countries27. What can be inferred from the passage?A. All diseases can be prevented or treated.B. Governments and partners joined the initial effort.C. Nutrition holds the key to lower the death rates.D. Only governments made their best to reduce the deaths.28. How does Anthony Lake feel towards Child Survival Call to Action?A. Time-consuming.B. Wasteful.C. Positive.D. Cold.CHow you feel and react to your environment on a day-to-day basis can be measured by your behavior, thoughts, and emotions. Your personality gives you away!There are four fundamental characteristics of personality. First, it is constant and people tend to behave in the same way when they meet similar situations. Second, personality not only influences actions, but it also actually causes people to behave in specific ways. Third, personality is influenced by both psychological and biological factors. Finally, personality is expressed not only in behaviors, but through emotions, thoughts, social behavior, and close relationships.How the world distinguishes you is a direct reflection of and reaction to how you present yourself to them. Race, age, and sex are qualities you have no control over, but certainly contribute to your personality because of how the world senses you based on them. A person who continuously experiences racial discrimination may guard himself against it by at first seeming cold and unfriendly. But once he opens up, you may discover someone completely different inside.Physical ones, which you develop over time, also contribute to your personality, and include walking pace, eye contact, and facial expressions. How you want the world to see you influences how you present yourself to others. Characteristics such as altitude, response and general mindset create the surface of your one-of-a-kind personality.If you’re like many people, the aspects of your personality you choose to show might depend on the people you meet. For instance, the personality you exhibit around your boss is probably a lot different from the personality you show to your closest friends. All of these elements make up the “you”that only you truly know. And only you can decide when to share these parts of your personality with other colleagues.29. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Some aspects of personality.B. Ways to develop personality.C. What contributes to personality.D. Why personality is important.30. It can be known from Paragraph 2 that______.A. one’s personality is merely determined by birthB. personality consists of behavior, thoughts and relationshipsC. personality has nothing to do with one’s career lifeD. the environment and the situation influence one’s personality31. The intended readers for the passage are probably______.A. receptionistsB. studentsC. office clerksD. police officersDFor many. Daylight Saving Time (DST: 夏令时) simply means remembering to change the clocks and twisting your sleep schedule. “Even though the time change is only an hour, it is something that causes much more destruction than people believe,”said Dr. John Sharp, a psychologist and psychiatrist at Beth-Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. “It’s not just an extra hour of sleep; it’s more of a fast-forward into winter.”With days getting darker earlier, Sharp suggests making a to-do list for activities after work ahead of time. “Any plans you have, say, going to the gym after work, require much more effort and determination. It’s much better to plan more carefully and not just rely on how you feel, especially when it is dark out,”he said. “Figure it out in advance and stick with the plan.”In addition. Sharp says in the weeks after Daylight Saving, some may feel like they have a bigger appetite. “Eating more during this time is not the answer. People need to stay on an eating schedule and keep up healthy habits. ”However, Sharp said there are ways to better acclimate yourself to the time change. If you are having trouble sleeping, he suggests taking some melatonin (退黑激素) in the evening. In contrast, if you find yourself feeling sleepy. Sharp said there is nothing wrong with adding an extra caffeinated drink during your day.A word to the wise? One sure way to better adjust to the time change is to start going to bed 15 minutes earlier starting four days before Daylight Saving, adding an additional 15 minutes each night.32. Which is probably the best title for the passage?A. Are you prepared for DST?B. Why DST was introduced?C. What DST has brought to life?D. How DST has been popular?33. What does John Sharp suggest in Paragraph 2?A. Getting up earlier than before.B. Sticking to the daily routine.C. Being aware of quality sleep.D. Getting well-prepared for DST.34. The underlined word “acclimate”in Paragraph 4 can be replacedby______.A. adoptB. accelerateC. adaptD. acknowledge35. The passage is probably taken from______.A. a scientific reportB. an interviewC. a speechD. a statement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。

speaking,includes all those factors that influence what happens during teaching and learning.These factors operate on different levels.The physical context,for example,influences what happens in the classroom.Space may restrict participation,depending on how a teacher interprets the situation.Some teachers use their surroundings to promote learning.Notice boards reflect themes or topics being studied;a display area presents students’written work for others to read.Of course,some teachers remain unaware of the physical environment that they and their students inhabit together.A room,after all,is just a英语2017春第7页(共16页)room.Yet the physical environment of the classroom affects the nature and types of interactions that will occur.Straight rows of tables,for example,are favourable to classroom lectures and turn-taking routines in which students one by one,recite answers to a teacher’s questions.A room isn’t just a room for teachers who seek to make the physical environment suitable for interactive learning.Interactive learning invites thinking,reading,writing,speaking,listening, and sharing.Such classrooms are arranged for individuals rather than for the“class”as a whole;are56.57.英语2017春第8页(共16页)58.From the last paragraph,we can learn that.A.classrooms should be arranged for the class as a wholeB.the chalkboard should be abandoned during group workC.seating can

Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.half a million copies per month.The arrival of TV,however,led to a decline in sales so that now the average reader of an American comic book is a teenage boy with an interest in superheroes. 70There manga sales are still booming,reaching as high as$7billion each year largely because readers range from young boys and girls up to middle-aged men and women.Manga for men and boys,like the American comics,tend to be action-oriented,while manga for women and girls tend to be focused on relationships.IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.ShynessIf you suffer from shyness,you are not alone,for shyness is a universal phenomenon.It is not surprising that social scientists are exploring its environmental causes.The first environmental cause of shyness may be a child’s home and family life.Today’s children are growing up in smaller and smaller families,with fewer and fewer relatives living nearby.Growing up in homes in which both parents work full time,children may not have the socializing experience of frequent visits by neighbors and friends.Because of their lack of social skills,they may begin to feel shy when they start school.A second environmental cause of shyness in an individual may be one’s culture.In a large study conducted in Japan,57percent of participants rated themselves as shy.Researchers Lynne Henderson and Philip Zimbardo say,“One explanation is that in Japan,an individual’s performance success is credited externally to parents,grandparents,teachers,coaches,and others, while failure is entirely blamed on the person.”Therefore,Japanese learn not to take risks in public and rely instead on group-shared decisions.Technology may also play a role.In the United States,the number of young people who report being shy has risen from40percent to50percent in recent years.Due to our huge advances in technology,watching television,playing video games,and surfing the Web have replaced recreational activities that involve social interaction for many young people.Adults,too,are becoming more isolated as a result of technology.Face-to-face interactions with bank clerks,gas station attendants,and shop assistants are no longer necessary because people can use machines to do their banking,fill their gas tanks,and order goods.In short,they become shy.It appears that most people have experienced shyness at some time in their lives.Therefore, if you are shy,you have lots of company.第II卷(共40分)V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.你不必在乎他人对你的评论。

have you experienced a sudden feeling of unease or danger,even though you're in a(n)41situation?If you don’t believe in it,you’ll put it down to42and an overactive imagination.But some people believe it is43 that there is a sixth sense beyond smell,taste,touch,hearing and sight.Now,scientists are carrying out experiments not only to prove that it exists,but also to find out how you can44it to your advantage.Dean Radin,a researcher in California,has set up the Boundary Institute in Los Altos and is currently using its website to recruit(招募)4,000people in57countries to find out if there are any45instances of sixth sense or, as he calls it,"recognition"—the ability to predict outcomes.The results so far are46.In a card test,where you have to47which of the five cards on a computer screen will be turned over to reveal a picture,the top scorers hit the the right card48%of the time—48of this happening are2,669to1.49,Radin’s most famous study involves participants looking at a variety of image that are designed to stimulate a specific response.In the experiment,participants sit alone in room in front of a computer,with devices attached to their bodies to measure changes in skin resistance and blood flow,which are measures of emotional arousal.Radin has found that one in six people has a rise in arousal before they see the road accident-type pictures, while remaining50before the tree-type pictures.But even if you do accept that a sixth sense exists,the question is,does it actually51?Radin says it does.“The future of our civilization depends on52that are being made now,whether it's about how we farm our food, how we get rid of our waste or whether we allow chemicals to be included in everyday products.We don’t have answers to these important questions,yet what we decide on will53our lives for decades or longer.Anything we can do to improve our ability to predict future events is well worth the54.”He says.If it turns out that some people can genuinely

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)What happens in a particular class on a particular day depends on the interactions that occur between the teacher, the students,and the material being studied.The classroom context,generally speaking,includes all those factors that influence what happens during teaching and learning.These factors operate on different levels.The physical context,for example,influences what happens in the classroom.Space may restrict participation, depending on how a teacher interprets the situation,some teachers use their surroundings to promote learning.Noticeboards reflect themes or topics being studied;a display area presents students’written work for others to read.Of course,some teachers remain unaware of the physical environment of the classroom affects the nature and types of interactions that they and their students inhabit together.A room,after all,is just a room.Yet the physical environment of the classroom affects the nature and types of interactions that will occur.Straight rows of tables,for example,are favourable to classroom lectures and turn-taking routines in which students,one by one,recite answers to a teacher's questions.A room isn’t just a room for teachers who seek to make the physical environment suitable for interactive learning.Interactive learning invites thinking,reading,writing,speaking,listening and sharing.Such classrooms are arranged for individuals rather than for the “class”as a whole;they welcome students as active participants.Various physical arrangements encourage interactive learning,but they depend on the size of the room and the furniture that is available.A class can be organized for individual,group,or whole-class activities.Students are initially assigned seats at a combination of small and large tables.However,when the students work individually or in groups,they are free to abandon the assigned seating.The chalkboard occupies a central position in the room to accommodate whole-class study.56.According to the passage,“the physical context”(paragraph 2)may include_______.A.teachers'roles B.themes being studied C.a display area D.students’participation57.Which of the following is the most suitable for a classroom lecture?A. B.C. D.Discussion area 58.From the last paragraph,we can learn that_________________.A.classrooms should be arranged for the class as a whole B.the chalkboard should be abandoned during group work C.seating can be changed for different classroom activities D.interaction can be encouraged by combining small and large tables 59.What is the passage mainly about?A.The physical classroom environment varies with different types of interactions.B.The physical environment is a deciding factor for a successful lesson.C.Interactive learning depends on individuals’active involvement.D.Group work has become a trend in classroom teaching.Table Couch CouchSmall Table Chair(B)O$15.00USD-85x11PaperO$24.00USD-11x17PaperO$30.00USD-13x19PaperO$45.00USD-17x22PaperO$95.00USD-24x30PaperO$185.00USD-34x47PaperO$70.00USD-17x22Exhibition CanvasO$140.00USD-24x30Exhibition CanvasO$275.00USD-36x50Exhibition CanvasO$350.00USD-44x61Exhibition CanvasO$80.00USD-85x11Framed(Black)O$85.00USD-85x11Framed(Brown)O$140.00USD-11x17Framed(Black)O$150.00USD-11x17Framed(Brown)O$215.00USD-17x22Framed(Black)O$225.00USD-17x22Framed(Brown)A German travel poster showing the Imperial Castlein NurembergAdd to CartThis product ships for free(both in U.S.A.and overseas)Made in U.S.A.|Satisfaction GuaranteedChristmas Shipping DeadlinesDomestic orders placed by December20will arrive for ChristmasOverseas orders placed by December9will arrive for Christmas.Overnight orders placed by December22will arrive for Christmas for an additional fee.Framed orders(domestic or overseas)require additional time for delivery.About Our PaperWe use high-quality,acid-free papers or heavyweight Exhibition Gallery CanvasPaper SizesPaper sizes are in inches.If an image's dimensions(尺寸)don't exactly match the papers dimensions there will be a wider margin on the narrowest side.The long edge on prints34x47and larger will vary depending on the dimensions of the photo and may be longer than the size listed.Custom(定制的)FramesWe’ve partnered with Simply Framed to offer high-quality custom frames made in the USA.Please allow an additional3weeks for delivery.Frames come in black or brown wooden finish and include protective paperback finish,wall bumpers,hanging hardware+nails,hanging and care instructions.Frames arrive gift-wrapped in brown paper.Framed sales are final.60.If you want to order a17x22print of canvas with a black frame,how much are you expected to pay?A.$45.00USD.B.$70.00USD.C.$215.00USD.

The concern:that too much of warnings and horror stories—the cover of Julie Lythcott-Haims’bestseller How to Raise an Adult instructs moms and dads to avoid“the overparenting trap”—is discouraging parents from getting involved at all.“Yes,parents can be intruders,”says Marjorie Savage,a researcher in the University of Minnesota.“At the same time,there are increasing examples of parents refusing to step up when students genuinely need their family”At Hofstra University,for example,parents now ask embarrassedly about mental-health and campus-safety resources,as if bringing up those topics were forbidden,says Branka Kristie,who heads the family-outreach programs.And Savage recalls talking to a mom who kept quiet about her son’s signs of depression until right before he failed a semester.She did not want to“helicopter in.”That means colleges,which have spent the past decade learning to cope with parents who get too involved,now have a different problem.In recent years,hundreds of colleges have either launched or increased their parent offices, which serve as one-stop shops for moms and dads looking to make complaints,report problems and generally stay in touch.Much of this began,of course,because schools were forced to cope with a generation of students connected with their parents like never before.On average,they communicate22.1times per week,according to research from Barbara Hofer,a psychology professor at Middlebury College.That’s more than twice the rate of a decade ago,before almost every student had a smartphone.With some moms and dads thinking twice of contacting the school in the first place,some programs are being used to encourage a more balanced approach,often through email and other social media.Hofstra's Kristic advises parents to“be a guide,while granting that the student owns the journey.”That means asking questions,listening to answers,being patient and trusting kids to resolve their own problems.But if issues persist,or if a student is in serious mental or physical danger,it also means hopping in the chopper,at least for a little while.63.In paragraph3,parents of Hofstra University students are mentioned to_________.A.show that parents have gone to the other extreme of overparentingB.provide educators with a new understanding of overparentingC.give a further example of supportive overparentingD.place emphasis on the necessity of overparenting64.The phrase"hopping in the chopper"in the last paragraph refers to_________.A.having trust in kidsB.stepping in to solve kids problemsC.joining a family-outreach programD.turning to social media for help65.What can be inferred from the passage?A.Mental-health and campus-safety resources are forbidden topics among parentsB.How to Raise an Adult encourages parents to get engaged in family educationC.Overparenting is no longer a problem because of students’self-reliance.D.There was less student-parent communication in the past than today.66.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Why Colleges Need Helicopter ParentsB.How to Improve parent-school RelationsC.Why Overparenting Is in QuestionD.How to Communicate More as ParentsSection CDirections:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.The two types of comics are created in very different ways.B.But for people who love comic books,they can be a fantastic escape from the tough realities of modem life.C.They find it hard to understand why comic books appeal to so many people.ics have lost its charm in America.E.In Japan,the contrast couldn't be greater.F.Manga heroes look smaller,younger than all-conquering American heroes who have large muscles and lots of themed clothes.Japanese and American Comic Book HeroesTo some people,the idea of reading comic books seem childish._________67__________Comics are published globally,but Japanese and American versions dominate the market despite fact—or perhaps because—they differ in a number of ways._________68__________American comics are a group effort,beginning with the story-writing team and the artist who produces drawings of initial ideas.When these drafts are finalized,the outlines,dialogue,and color are added.Also,creators of comic superheroes sometimes sell their titles to other creative teams,who keep the superhero “alive”.This is in sharp contrast to manga(日本漫画)creators,who are often individual authors merely responsible for the storylines,dialogue,and artwork.When a manga creator decides to stop,so does the hero.Another difference is the appearance of the heroes._________69__________Also,manga heroes rarely look Japanese and the stories do not typically take place in a Japanese context.However,American comic heroes,despite their masks,are proudly American and are admired for their readiness to defend U.S.cities.Probably the biggest difference is the readership.Up until the1950s,American comic books were read by both children and adults,with poplar titles such as Superman selling as many as half a million copies per month.The arrival of TV,however,led to a decline in sales so that now the average reader of an American comic book is a teenage boy with an interest in superheroes._________70__________There manga sales are still booming,reachingas high as7billion dollars each year largely because readers range from young boys and girls up to middle-aged men and women.Manga for men and boys,like the American comics,tend to be action-oriented,while manga for women and girls tend to be focused on relationships.IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.ShynessIf you suffer shyness,you are not alone.It is not surprising that social scientists are exploring its environmental causes.The first environmental cause of shyness many be a child’s home and family life.Today’s children are growing up smaller and smaller families,with fewer and fewer relatives living nearby.Growing up in homes in which both parents work full time,children may not have the socializing experience of frequent visits by neighbours and friends. Because of their lack of social skills,they may begin to feel shy when they start school.A second environmental cause of shyness in an individual may be one’s culture.In a large study conducted in Japan,57percent of participants rated themselves as shy.Researchers Lynne Henderson and Philip Zimbardo say,“One explanation is that in Japan,an individual’s performance success is credited externally to parents,grandparents, teachers,coaches,and others,while failure is entirely blamed on the person.”Therefore,Japanese learn not to take risks in public and rely instead on group-shared decisions.Technology may also pay a role.In the United States,the number of young people who report being shy has risen from40percent to50percent in recent years.Due to our huge advances in technology,watching television, playing video games,and surfing the Web have replaced recreational activities that involve social interaction for many young people.Adults,too,are becoming isolated as a result of technology.Face to face interaction with bank clerks,gas station attendants are no longer necessary because people can use machines to do their banking,fill their their gas tanks,and order goods.In short,they become shy.It appears that most people have experienced shyness at some time in their lives.Therefore,if you are shy,you have lots of company.If you suffer shyness,you are not alone.It is not surprising that social scientists are exploring its environmental causes.第II卷(共40分)V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.1.你没有必要在乎他人对你的评论.(care)2.大量阅读书籍有助于我们成长。

Now,scientists are carrying out experiments not only to prove that it exists, but also to find out how you can 44 it to your advantage.Dean Radin, a researcher in California, has set up the Boundary Institute in Los Altos and is currently using its website to recruit(招募)4,000 people in 57 countries to find out if there are any 45 instances of sixth sense or, as he calls it, “precognition”—the ability to predict outcomes. The results so far are 46 . In a card test, where you have to 47 which of the five cards on a computer screen will be turned over to reveal a picture, the top scorers hit the right card 48% of the time—the 48 of this happening are 2,669 to 1.49 , Radin’s most famous study involves participants looking at a variety of images that are designed to stimulate a specific responses. In the experiment, participants sit alone in a room in front of a computer, with devices attached to their bodies to measure changes in skin resistance and blood flow, which are measures of emotional arousal. Radin has found that one in six people has a rise in arouse before they see the road accident-type pictures, while remaining 50 before the tree-type pictures.But even if you do accept that a sixth sense exists, the question is, does it actually 51 ? Radin says it does. “the future of our civilisation depends on 52 that are being made now, whether it’s about how we farm our food, how we get rid of our waste or whether we allow chemicals to be included in everyday products. We don’t have answers to these important questions, yet what we decide on will 53 our lives for decades or longer. Anything we can do to improve our ability to predict future events is well worth the 54 ,” he says. “If it turns out that some people can genuinely forecast the future some of the time, as I believe the data shows, then 55 this ability is as important as cutting-edge science.41.

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 read.(A)What happens in a particular class on a particular day depends on the interactions that occur between the teacher, the students,, and the material being studied. The classroom context, generally speaking, includes all those factors that influence what happens during teaching and learning. These factors operate on different levels.The physical context, for example, influences what happens in the classroom. Space may restrict participation, depending on how a teacher interprets the situation. Some teachers use their surroundings to promote learning. Notice boards reflect themes or topics being studied; a display area presents students’ written work for others to read. Of course, some teachers remain unaware of the physical environment that they and their students inhabit together. A room, after all, is just a room. Yet the physical environment of the classroom affects the nature and types of interactions that will occur. Straight rows of tables, for example, are favourable to classroom lectures and turn-taking routines in which students one by one, recite answers to a teacher’squestions.A room isn’t just a room for teachers who seek to make the physical environment suitable for interactive learning. Interactive learning invites thinking, reading, writing, speaking, listening, and sharing. Such classrooms are arranged for individuals rather than for the “class” as a whole; they welcome students as active participants. Various physical arrangements encourage interactive learning, but they depend on the size of the room and the furniture that is available.A class can be organized for individual, group, or whole-class activities. Students are initially assigned seats at a combination of small and large tables. However, when the students work individually or in groups, they are free to abandon the assigned seating. The chalkboard occupies a central position in the room to accommodate whole-class study.56. According to the passage, “the physical context ” (paragraph 2) may include .A. teachers’ rolesB. themes being studiedC. a display areaD. students’ participation57. Which of the following is the most suitable for a classroom lecture?A .B .C .D .58. From the last paragraph, we can learn that .A. classrooms should be arranged for the class as a wholeB. the chalkboard should be abandoned during group workC. seating can be changed for different classroom activitiesD. interaction can be encouraged by combining small and large tables59. What is the passage mainly about?A. The physical classroom environment varies with different types of interaction.B. The physical environment is a deciding factor for a successful lesson.C. Interactive learning depends on individuals’ active involvement.D. Group work has become a trend in classroom teaching.(B)•$15.00USD-8.5x11 Paper•$24.00USD-11x17 Paper•$30.00USD-13x19 Paper•$45.00USD-17x22 Paper•$95.00USD-24x30 Paper•$185.00USD-34x47 Paper•$70.00USD-17x22 Exhibition Canvas(帆布)•$140.00USD-24x30 Exhibition Canvas•$275.00USD-36x50 Exhibition Canvas•$350.00USD-44x61 Exhibition Canvas•$80.00USD-8.5x11 Framed (Black)•$85.00USD-8.5x11 Framed (Brown)•$140.00USD-11x17 Framed (Black)•$150.00USD-11x17 Framed (Brown)•$215.00USD-17x22 Framed (Black)•$225.00USD-17x22 Framed (Brown)A German travel poster showing the ImperialCastle in Nuremberg.

Remaining too involved in a kid’s life, especially throughout college, can lead to d epression, lack of self-reliance and feelings of entitlement.This wisdom seems sound. But some academics and educators now say they see signs of a troubling resistance. The concern: that too much of warnings and horror stories—the cover of Julie Lythcott-Haims’ bestseller How to Raise an Adult instructs moms and dads to avoid “the overparenting trap” —is discouraging parents from getting involved at all.“Yes, parents can be intruders,” says Marjorie Savage, a researcher in the University of Minnesota. “At the same time, there are increasing examples of parents refusing to step up when students genuinely need their family.” At Hofstra University, for example, parents now ask embarrassedly about mental-health and campus-safety resources, as if bringing up those topics were forbidden, says Branka Kristie, who heads the family-outreach programs. And Savage recalls talking to a mom who kept quiet about her son’s signs of depression until right before he failed a semester. She did not want to “helicopter in.”That means colleges, which have spent the past decade learning to cope with parents who get too involved, now have a different problem. In recent years, hundreds of colleges have either launched or increased their parent offices, which serve as one-stop shops for moms and dads looking to make complaints, report problem and generally stay in touch.Much of this began, of course, because schools were forced to cope with a generation of students connected with their parents like never before. On average, they communicate 22.1 times per week, according to research from Barbara Hofer, a psychology professor at Middlebury College. That’s more than twice the rate of a decade ago, before almost every student had a smartphone.With some moms and dads thinking twice of contacting the school in the first place, some programs are being used to encourage a more balanced approach, often through email and other social media. Hofstra’s Kristic advises parents to “be a guide, while granting that the student owns the journey.” Th at means asking questions, listening to answers, being patient and trusting kids to resolve their own problems. But if issues persist, or if a student is in serious mental or physical danger, it also means hopping in the chopper, at least for a little while.63. In paragraph 3, parents of Hofstra University students are mentioned to .A. show that parents have gone to the other extreme of overparentingB. provide educators with a new understanding of overparentingC. give a further example of supportive overparentingD. place emphasis on the necessity of overparenting64. The phrase “hopping in the chopper” in the last paragraph refers to .A. having trust in kidsB. stepping in to solve kids’ problemsC .joining a family-outreach program D. turning to social media for help65. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Mental-health and campus-safety resources are forbidden topics among parents.B. How to Raise an Adult encourages parents to get engaged in family education.C. Overparenting is no longer a problem because of students’ self-reliance.D. There was less student-parent communication in the past than today.66. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Why Colleges Need Helicopter ParentsB. How to Improve Parent-school RelationsC. Why Overparenting Is in QuestionD. How to Communicate More as ParentsSection CDirections:Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Japanese and American Comic Book HeroesTo some people, the idea of reading comic books seems childish. 67 Comics are published globally, but Japanese and American versions dominate the market despite the fact—or perhaps because—they differ in a number of ways.68 American comics are a group effort, beginning with the story-writing team and the artist who produces drawings of initial ideas. When these drafts are finalized, the outlines, dialogue, and color are added. Also, creators of comic superheroes sometimes sell their titles to other creative teams, who keep the superhero “alive.” This is in sharp contrast to manga(日本漫画)creators, who are often individual authors merely responsible for the storylines, dialogue, and artwork. When a manga creator decides to stop, so does the hero.Another difference is the appearance of the heroes. 69 Also, manga heroes rarely look Japanese, and the stories do not typically take place in a Japanese context. However, American comic heroes, despite their masks, are proudly American and are admired for their readiness to defend U.S. cities.Probably the biggest difference is the readership. Up until the 1950s, American comic books were read by both children and adults, with popular titles such as Superman selling as many as half a million copies per month. The arrival of TV, however, led to a decline in sales so that now the average reader of an American comic book is a teenage boy with an interest in superheroes. 70 There manga sales are still booming, reaching as high as $7 billion each year largely because readers range from young boys and girls up to middle-aged men and women. Manga for men and boys, like the American comics, tend to be action-oriented, while manga for women and girls tend to be focused on relationships.IV. Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.ShynessIf you suffer from shyness, you are not alone, for shyness is a universal phenomenon. It is not surprising that social scientists are exploring its environmental causes.The first environmental cause of shyness may be a child’s home and family life. Today’s children are growing up in smaller and smaller families, with fewer and fewer relatives living nearby. Growing up in homes in which both parents work full time, children may not have the socializing experience of frequent visits by neighbors and friends. Because of their lack of social skills, they may begin to feel shy when they start school.A second environmental cause of shyness in an individual may be one’s culture. In a large study conducted in Japan, 57 percent of participants rated themselves as shy. Researchers Lynne Henderson and Philip Zimbardo say, “One explanation is that in Japan, an individual’s performance success is credited externally to parents, grandparents, teachers, coaches, and others, while failure is entirely blamed on the person.” Therefore, Japanese learn not to take risks in public and rely instead on group-shared decisions.Technology may also play a role. In the United States, the number of young people who report being shy has risen from 40 percent to 50 percent in recent years. Due to our huge advances in technology, watching television, playing video games, and surfing the Web have replaced recreational activities that involve social interaction for many young people. Adults, too, are becoming more isolated as a result of technology. Face-to-face interactions with bank clerks, gas station attendants, and shop assistants are no longer necessary because people can use machines to do their banking, fill their gas tanks, and order goods. In short, they become shy.It appears that most people have experienced shyness at some time in their lives. Therefore, if you are shy, you have lots of company.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72. 你不必在乎他人对你的评论。

Each word can be use only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.scanner can unlock the system. It requires no buttons to be pressed, being always ready to read your face. Android users can expect similar 32______ as well.For the millions of people who will soon depend on facial recognition to check their email, send a text or make a call, it wi ll be quick, easy and pretty “cool” to use. However, as we grow 33______to the technology, we cannot become numb to the problems that come with it.Facial recognition is already used everywhere. In China, police use the technology to identify people who jaywalk (乱穿马路). In the United State, more than half of all adults are in a facial recognition database that can be used for criminal investigation. Governments, however, are not the only users of facial recognition. Retailers use the technology in their stores to identify 34______ shoplifters. One social media app in Russia allows strangers to find out who you are just by taking a photo of you.However, different users of facial recognition produce different levels of accuracy.

However, even as we choose to we explore the convenience facial recognition might offer, we should also be suspicious of the many ways it can be used. Facial recognition may well be 40______. Its risks need not be!III. Reading Comprehension (45%)Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Famous people often say that the key to becoming both happy and successful is to “do what you love.” But mastering a skill, even one that you deeply love, 41___ a huge amount of dull work. Anyone who want to master a skill must run through the cycle of practice, 42___ feedback, modification, and increasing improvement again, again and again. Some people seem able to concentrate on practicing an activity like this for years and take pleasure in their gradual improvement. Yet others find this kind of focused, time-intensive work to be 43___ or boring.Why?The difference may turn on the ability to enter into a state of “follow,” the feeling of being completely 44___ in what you are doing. Whether you call it being “in the zone,” or something else, a flow state is a special experience. Since Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi developed the 45___ of flow in the 1970’s, it has been a mainstay of positive-psychology research. Flow states can happen in the course of any activity, and they are most common when a task has well-defined goals and is at a(n) 46___ skill level, and where the individual is able to 47___ their performance to clear and immediate feedback.Csikszentmihalyi suggested that those who most 48___ entered into flow states had an “autotelic personality(自带目的性人格)”—a disposition to seek out challenges and get into a state of flow. While those without such a personality see difficulties, autotelic individuals see opportunities to build skills. Autotelic individuals are receptive and open to new challenges. They are also 49___ and have low levels of self-centeredness. Such people, with their capacity for “disinterested interest” have a great 50 over others in developing their innate abilities.Fortunately for those of us who aren’t 51___ blessed with an autotelic personality, there is evidence that flow states can be 52___ by environmental factors. 53___, the learning framework prescribed by Montessori schools seems to encourage flow states.While there isn’t (yet) a pill that can turn mundane practice into a thrilling activity for anyone, it is heartening that we seem, at least to some 54___, to be able to nudge ourselves toward flow states. By giving ourselves unstructured, open-ended time, minimal 55___, and a task set at a moderate level of difficulty, we may be able to love what we’re doing while we put in the hard work practicing the things we love doing.41.A. inquires B. requires C. acquires D. gains42.A. preventable B. maintainable C. sustainable D. critical43.A. frustrating B. encouraging C. concerning D. instructing44.A. improved B. indicated C. involved D. inspired45.A. concept B. receipt C. reception D. condition46.A. alternative B. appropriate C. approximate D. sufficient47.A. make B. adopt C. adapt D. adjust48.A. fully B. really C. readily D. accidentally49.A. generous B. persistent C. courageous D. resistant50.A. addict B. advance C. advantage D. admire51.A. necessarily B. obviously C. gradually D. occasionally52.A. forbidden B. functioned C. fastened D. facilitated53.A. In particular B. For example C. In conclusion D. In comparison54.A. intention B. extent C. purpose D. intent55.A. temptation B. charming C. attractions D. distractionsSection BDirections: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, D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.(A)The adaptation of books to the big screen is nothing new to our society. Books have become well-respected tools for creating a better Hollywood. However, films should be just as respected for their ability to create better writers.The main skill films help writers develop is attention to progress. Most directors and screenwriters know that the majority of people are not willing to sit through a five-hour film. Thus, every scene must have a purpose. This is a vital objective to keep in mind when writing a novel or short story. With most writing courses placing emphasis on literary techniques, it is easy to become more invested in diction than with actually moving the plot forward. Films remind the writer that while a novel ought to have some degree of literary complexity, the goal at the end of each chapter, page, or sentence is simple:keep the story moving. Films not only help writers develop a plot, but also help writers develop specific moments within their stories. Although writing a means of expression, not all things are easy to express in writing, especially facial expressions and emotions. Films allow writers to study the bodily and emotional actions that make characters read more realistically and make stories more tempting.Lastly, sometimes it takes a film to bring about a story idea in the first place. Stop using a horribly specific or extremely uninteresting prompt. A pleasing theme or aesthetic can be enough to inspire a character or setting. As writers , whether fiction or independent, our works often arise from the things we see around us or the thins we wish we could see. Nonetheless, our works also arise from the visuals that have been created for us. As literature continues to enter the film industry, perhaps we should make use of film techniques in our literature.56.Reminded by films, a writer can move the plot forward by .A.keeping in mind that every word should mean somethingB.providing a description of as many details as possibleC.paying attention to further enhancing literary complexityD.choosing the perfect word to go with his/her thought57.According to the passage, films help writers develop in many aspects except .A.studying the bodily and emotional actionsB.focusing on keeping the story movingC.developing specific moments within their storiesD.creating complex stories in their works58.The word “prompt”(paragraph 3) probably means .A.a reason to writeB.a topic to start fromC.an excuse to put off workingD.an element to attract relationship59.Which of the following statements best represents the author’s thoughts in this passage?A.Book writers are the ones promoting the growth of the film industry.B.Directors and screenwriters are more respected than fiction writers.C.Writers should spend more time on wording rather than on other things.D.Filmmaking technique could help book writers to improve themselves.(B)American AirlinesDate of Issue: 233 JAN10Ping Luo:Thank you for choosing American Airlines/American Eagle, a member of the one world TM Alliance. Below is your journey plan for the ticket(s) purchased. Please print and keep possession of this document for use throughout your trip.Record locator: HPMDLHYou may check in and obtain your boarding pass for U.S .domestic electronic tickets within 24 hours of your flight time online at AA.

For in-flight purchases, we will accept Citi○R/ AAdvantage○R MasterCard○R and other major credit or debit cards only. Cashless cabins will not be implemented onboard American Eagle and American Connection flights----only cash will continue to be accepted onboard those fights.60.The above document serves as .A.evidence of booked ticketsB.explanations of check-in policiesC.a reminder of airline regulationsD.an airline ticket and its confirmation61.During his journey, Ping Luo will .A.fly non-stop to his destinationB.arrive in Chicago in the late afternoon of the same dayC.have to stay at CHICAGO OHARE airport for two hoursD.reach his final destination on the next day62.according to the document, in order to check in at the airport faster, a passenger may .A.arrive at the airport far ahead of timeB.choose the seat in advancee a self-service machineD.contact the record locator online(C)There are classes for the mothers of babies, but there’s no helping with your mum and dad growing old.Old people’s wards are hell for old people. Geriatric wards are bedlam and bonkers. A toothless woman screaming when left alone, a cry that reaches the high hospital ceiling. A woman effing and blinding----the polite curtain will not protect her from the indignity of a nappy change.A woman who lives the same moment in repeat, dressed up for going home in a bright red, over the dressing grown, asking for the key to her house, saying over and over: “Am I going home today?”And though my mum, by the time she was released, knew that her life was charmed compared with the lives of the world’s refugees. It seems to me as if the plight of old people, while not a horrible as the plight of refugees, shares some of the horror. Just as we live in a society that hasn’t caught up with technology, the kind of moral choices it gives people, we also live in a world that hasn’t kept up with its ageing population. We have the advances in medical science and technology that have kept people alive longer, but not the advances in how to treat our ageing population. Society is lagging behind the old, failing and falling.There are certain small but piercing similarities between the treatment of the old and the treatment of refugees. The old are often displaced from their homes, moved out against their will;decisions are often made for them that they have no say over. Often, they are treated as fools or halfwits, crowded together in one place, given clothes that don’t belong to them, treated as a fallen tribe, incapable of any individuality. Nobody imagined my mother was a secretary of the Scottish peace movement, a primary teacher, a lifelong socialist, a witty woman. Out of hospital, my 85-year-old mum said:”going into hospital at my age puts years on you. God save from old people’s wards. You never think of yourself as old. You look across the ward and think, am I like that?”63.The treatment of the old is compared of that of the refugees in order to .A.prove they have a lot in commonB.show the terrible status of the oldC.display their similarities and differencesD.indicate that old people have to leave their home64.What can be inferred from the passage?A.Refugees lead a better life than old male patients.B.Old people are ill-treated due to their loss of individuality.C.The author’s mom is capable of teaching and being a socialist.D.The treatment of the ageing population doesn’t develop as science advances.65.The author’s mom felt that life in the hospital .A. made her much olderB. created her a mature womanC. enable her to look back at lifeD. let her full of gratitude to children66.The passage mainly discussed .A.the life of refugees and old peopleB.social responsibility to old womenC.improper treatment of old peopleD.preparing for ageing parentsSection CDirections:Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.What would happen if the world suddenly went vegetarian?People become vegetarians for a variety of reasons. Some do it to make animal suffering, others because they want to pursue a healthier lifestyle. Still others are fans of sustainability or wish to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. 67 And the more who make the switch, the more those perks would manifest on a global scale.Jarvis and other experts at Colombia’s International Centre for Tropical Agriculture carried out researches to see what might happen if meat dropped off the planet’s menu overnight.First, they examined climate change. Food production accounts for one-quarter to one-third of all greenhouse gas emissions from human activities worldwide, and the worst of responsibility forfamily of four emits more greenhouse gases because of the meat they eat than from driving two cars – but it is cars, not steaks, that regularly come up in discussions about global warming.69 Of the world’s approximately 12 billion acres of agricultural land, 68% is used for livestock. Should we all go vegetarian, ideally we would give at least 80% of that pastureland(牧场) to the restoration of grasslands and forests, which would capture carbon and further alleviate climate change.The remaining 10 to 20% of former pastureland could be used for growing more crops to fill gaps in the food supply. 70 That’s because one-third of the land currently used for crops is dedicated to producing food for livestock – not for humans.Summary Writing:Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Learning by Rote in the Digital AgeRote learning has become seen as an outdated method of teaching. The dictionary defines learning ‘by rote’ as: ‘from memory, without thought of the meaning; in a mechanical way’.The decline of rote learning has been quickened by technology. No one needs to memorize friends’ phone numbers or email addresses because such data is conveniently stored and accessible electronically. And why remember when and where World War Two broke out when you can find the answer on the internet in about 6 seconds? But now there are voices for a need to return to rote learning.In fact, memorizing key data is essential to learning any skill. Doctoring requires knowledge of medicine and lawyering requires knowledge of cases and laws. Of course, being able to recall things will not further your understanding of those things, but without memorizing these foundation elements, you cannot progress to a deeper understanding of a subject.While the internet and computers have weakened the need for us to remember things, it may well be that mobile learning can help bring this style of learning back to life by making it more convenient and more fun.Drilling yourself-with flashcards or by repetition-is usually hard and boring work, which is why most people need their multiplication tables to be drilled into them by teachers or parents. Rote learning without a willing third party can be a battle of discipline and motivation. But mobile learning can make those flashcards and drills more appropriate to individual study; our digital devices can challenge and inform us at the same time and also keep us motivated, whether through game-like structures or recording our progress.Once you’ve acquired the essentials of a subject by rote learning, you will find it easier to go deeper in the application of knowledge which is important.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.李雷宁愿受罚也不愿说谎。

Before realizing what happened, she was presented a bunch of flowers by two pupils and led to the playground. Then the loving words “Thank you. Wish you health and peace!” from the broadcast wafted (飘荡) over the playground. As she stood in the middle of the playground, teachers switched on an iPod and around 350 schoolchildren, aged three to seven, broke into a specially designed formation. The teacher was moved to tears when pupils broke into a flash mob dance to mark her final day after 25 years.In fact, taking her health into account, the leadership of the school has advised Mrs. Gabica to retire from school many times, but she refused firmly. Despite having diabetes in 2011, suffering from pain after being hit by a car in 2014 and even having a sick son to care for many years, Mrs. Gabica persevered in teaching and staying with her pupils. If she did not come to the age for retirement, she would be bound to stay with her pupils because she has a deep love for her career. Her pupils spent three weeks learning their routine to The Lion King’s He Lives in You, which was one of the mus ic lover’s favorites, being careful not to let their secret out of the bag. Obviously, Mrs. Gabica wasn’t prepared for such a memorable send-off.The headteacher Luke Mansfield said,“It was a wonderful way to celebrate all that Mrs. Gabica has done for the school. Since posting it we have had so many messages from former pupils who remember their happy times in her class. It’s atestament to the hard work and I think she deserves everything that she receives.”25. Which words can best describe the scene of the send-off?A. Surprising and inspiring.B. Touching and surprisingC. Sorrowful and unforgettable.D. Educational and memorable.26. Mrs. Gabica had to end her career because of ________.A. a car accidentB. a serious diseaseC. her retirement ageD. the need of her family27. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Mrs. Gabica is an experienced music teacher.B. Mrs. Gabica directed the flash mob dance secretly.C. Mrs. Gabica’s family may need help after her retirement.D. Mrs. Gabica is thought highly of by her leadership.28. The passage mainly tells us Mrs. Gabica _________.A. received many gifts on Teachers’ DayB. has achieved many honors in her careerC. was given quite a surprise on her final teaching dayD. was extremely welcomed by teachers and pupilsCUniversity can be the most sociable time of your life. For most students, social media is the glue that holds packed social diaries together. Facebook will let you know if a game is cancelled, Twitter can promote your DJ set in 140 characters, and your Instagram account will remind you when there are new photos.These tools have made the world increasingly connected, and most students wouldn’t consider shunningthem at such a sociable stage of their lives. But social media is by no means a requirement at university, and many do without.“I’m a private person and don’t feel the need to shareeverything with everybody I know,” says Caty Forster, 20, a student at the University of Manchester, who has never used Facebook or Twitter. Despite social media’s benefits, Forster is largely indifferent. Bethany Elgood, 25, stopped using Facebook after she discovered she had developed a bit of an anxiety towards the social media platforms that contain lots of personal details.”I quit Facebook when I was 13. I left because, not only was I bored of passively involved in its Newsfeed, I was also experiencing anxiety. To me, Facebook meant clicking and nosing around people’s lives.People would ask, “How do you keep in touch with people?” and “Won’t you miss out anything important?” I was in agreement with Forster, who says, “I never feel like I’m missing out too much. I don’t feel like I’d have anything valuable to share or gain from it.”Adrienne Jolly, a careers advisor at UEA, says, “It’s hard to prove relia ble statistics on social media. But it’s generally accepted that social media networks are pretty influential in this process—for better or worse.”You might decide quitting social media isn’t practical in the long run. However, if its ugly side is bringing you down, why not consider taking leave? By doing so, I gained confidence and a strong connection with reality.[:]29. The author listed three kinds of social media to prove they _______.A. are important for him and others like CatyB. have the power to make students learn moreC. are frequently used by many university studentsD. should be used by all of the students in universities30.

She hates to share everything with others.B. She hopes her personal information is safe.C. She buries herself in the busy studies every day.D. She doesn’t care what has happened to her friends.32. What is the attitude of Adrienne Jolly to using social media online?A. She is completely against them.B. She herself refuses to use them.C. She is completely for them.D. She is objective.DMany runners and gym members feel that music makes exercise more enjoyable. However, they might not know that scientists have found that some kinds of music can improve people’s energy by 15%. This was discovered by Costas Karageorghis at Brunel University’s School of Sport and Education in London. Karageorghis has worked with organizations like Nike and with many champion athletes. In the study, 30 people listened to inspiring music by Queen, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Madonna. They did exercise at the same time.When they were doing exercise in time with the music, people showed higher energy levels. Even when they were doing very hard exercise, they were positive about how they felt. When people are doing exercise, their nerves send messages saying that their body is getting tired. However, when they are listeningto music at the same time, these messages are blocked. Karageorghis thinks this is because the music causes part of the brain to send different messages to the body that make it feel happy and relaxed.Karageorghis’ work shows that different types of music can have different effects on different people. The effect of some music can also depend on how tiring the exercise is. Karageorghis said that outgoing people prefer faster and louder kinds of music compared to reserved people. This is because, for the music to have an effect, the brains of outgoing people need more stimulation than the brains of reserved people. Reserved people want to feel less worried and so have better results when the music makes them feel relaxed.Karageorghis was asked to provide music fo r the “Run to the Beat” half marathon in the UK. “I have lots of other exciting projects that I am working on.” said Karageorghis. One of these is to find out if the speed of the music we listen to has an effect on our heart rate while we exercise.33. Why do people feel less tired when they exercise with music?A. Music makes people’s muscles relax.B. The brain blocks the part that sends messages.C. Positive messages instead of ones about feeling tired are sent to the body.D. Their nerves stop sending messages to the body in the process.34. According to Paragraph 3, which statement is TRUE?A. Reserved people do not want to be stimulated.B. Relaxing music worked better with reserved people.C. Outgoing people feel less worried about their lives thanreserved people.D. Louder, faster music had a better effect during exhausting exercise.35. The passage is mainly written ______.A. to recommend different types of music for different peopleB. to report on a study about how music can improve energy levelsC. to explore the different effects that different types of music have on peopleD. to describe our brains when we exercise while listening to musicZxxkCom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。

Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks,use one word that best fits each blank.“Zootopia” Broke Disney RecordsLast weekend,the latest Disney movie, “Zootopia”,broke records.The movie had the largestopening weekend for a Disney animation(动画片).People across the United States bought more than $75 million worth of tickets.“Zootopia” is a city of animals.The movie stars a rabbit police officer and a fox criminal (21)__________ team up to find a missing otter(水濑).He is among several animals that have suddenly disappeared from the city.“Zootopia” (22)__________ (praise) for its sharp humor and strong message since its release.The film explores racism and other issues in its description of relations (23)__________ two kinds of animals in the city.Jared Bush and Phil Johnston wrote “Zootopia”.They told reporteres that it started out as a spy movie (24)__________ (set) in several different contexts.But they changed the story (25)__________ they found the animal world especially interesting.They said to (26)__________ something like this.“What’s this world like?What’s the history of this world?”And then,Bush said,they went to the experts.Not only (27)__________ the writers speak with people who study couture(时装) and group behaviour,but also they talked with animal experts like zookeepers.The creators have noted that the variety of animals was not easy (28)__________ (produce) in drawings.In the movie,64 species live in multiple neighborhoods (29)__________ (represent) different animals’ living environments.Disney says “Zootopia” is its (30)__________ (complex) animation yet.The extra effort is certainly paying off at the box office.Section BDirections: After reading the passage below,fill in each blank with a proper word given in theDoes “qaz2ws” strike you as a nice safe password?What bout “adgjmptw”?An analysis has found them to be among the passwords that are most (31)__________ used,which of course means they are not secure at all.When ten million passwords were leaked on to the internet,they appeared to (32)__________ that attempts by internet security experts to make us improve our password strength had been successful,even if,in the specific case of the leaked passwords,they are also completely pointless. While many of the passwords were still single words,such as “password”,there was also a clear attempt by many to make them harder to (33)__________.The problem was that people seemed to do so in the same way.“Users are becoming slightly more (34)__________ of what makes a password strong,” explained WP Engine,an internet company that performed the analysis. “For instance,adding a number or two at the end of a text phrase.That makes it better,right?”But (35)__________ no.They found that almost half a million passwords did this—and in 20 percent of those all people did was put the number “1” at the end.Perhaps this is why some companies are now trying to move gradually beyond passwords.Yahoo is giving users the option to associate their mobile phone with an account,had have a single use-passwords texted to it each time they want to (36)__________ on.Although the services is voluntary,Dylan Casey,an executive at Yahoo,said that it was “the first step to (37)__________ passwords”.He said it was a(n) (38)__________ that it was increasinglyhard for people to remember all the passwords they had. “I don’t think we,as an industry,have done a good enough job of putting ourselves in the shoes of the people using our products,”he said.It would certainly be a more sensible strategy than same people’s improving upon “password” by using “password” or,tran5p053d unmb3r5 f0r 13tt3r5.“We are,for the most part,predictably (39)__________ when it comes to choosing passwords,despite a decade of warnings from password strength checkers during sign-ups,”said WP Engine. “We love taking a(n) (40)__________,and so do password crackers.”III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Ever been just about to call someone when the phone rings and the person in question is on the other end?Or have you experienced a sudden feeling of unease or danger even though you’re in a(n) (41)__________ situation?If you don’t believe in it,you’ll put it down to (42)__________ and on overactive imagination.But some people believe it is (43)__________ that there is a sixth sense beyond smell,taste,touch,hearing and sight.Now,scientists are carrying out experiments not only to prove that it exists,but also to find out how you can (44)__________ it to your advantage.Dean Radin,a researcher in California,has set up the Boundary Institute in Los Altos and is currently using its website to recruit(招募) 4,000 people in 57 countries to find out if there are any (45)__________ instances of sixth sense or,as he calls it, “precognition”—the ability to predict outcomes.The results so far are (46)__________.In a card test,where you have to (47)__________ which of the five cards on a computer screen will be turned over to reveal a picture,the top scorers hit the right card 48% of the time—the (48)__________ of this happening are 2,669 to 1.(49)__________,Radin’s most famous study involves participants looking at a variety of images that are designed to stimulate a specific responses.In the experiment,participants sit alone in a room in front of a computer,with are measures of emotional arousal.Radin has found that one in six people has a rise in arouse before they see the road accident-type pictures,while remaining (50)__________ before the tree-type pictures.But even if you do accept that a sixth sense exists,the question is,does it actually (51)__________?Radin says it does. “the future of our civilization depends on (52)__________ that are being made now,whether it’s about how we farm our food,how we get rid of our waste or whether we allow chemicals to be included in everyday products.We don’t have answers to these important questions,yet what we decide on will (53)__________ our lives for decades or longer.Anything we can do to improve our ability to predict future events is well worth the (54)__________,”he says. “If it turns out that some people can genuinely forecast the future some of the time,as I believe the data shows,then (55)__________ this ability is as important as cutting-edge science.”41.

A.proving B.challenging C.limiting D.understandingSection BDirections: 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 read.(A)What happens in a particular class on a particular day depends on the interactions that occur between the teacher,the students,and the material being studied.The classroom context,generally speaking,includes all those factors that influence what happens during teaching and learning.These factors operate on different levels.The physical context,for example,influences what happens in the classroom.Space may restrict participation,depending on how a teacher interprets the situation.Some teachers use their surroundings to promote learning.Notice boards reflect themes or topics being studies;a display area presents students’ written work for others to read.Of course,some teachers remain unaware of the physical environment that they and their students inhabit together.A room,after all,is just a room.Yet the physical environment of the classroom affects the nature and types of interactions that will occur.Straight rows of tables,for example,are favorable to classroom lectures and turn-taking routines in which students one by one,recite answers to a teacher’s questions.A room isn’t just a room for teachers who seek to make the physical environment suitable for interactive learning.Interactive learning invites thinking,reading,writing,speaking,listening,and sharing.Such classrooms are arranged for individuals rather than for the “class” as a whole;they welcome students as active participants.Various physical arrangements encourage interactive learning,but they depend on the size of the room and the furniture that is available.A class can be organized for individual,group,or whole-class activities.Students are initially assigned seats at a combination of small and large tables.However,when the students work individually or in groups,they are free to abandon the assigned seating.The chalkboard occupies a central position in the room to accommodate whole-class study.56.According to the passage,the physical context (paragraph 2) may include __________.A.teachers’ rolesB.themes being studiedC.a display areaD.student’s participation57.Which of the following is the most suitable for a classroom lecture?(此处应有图片)58.From the last paragraph,we can learn that __________.A.classrooms should be arranged for the class as a wholeB.the chalkboard should be abandoned during group workC.seating can be changed for different classroom activitiesD.interaction can be encouraged by combining small and large tables59.What is the passage mainly about?A.The physical classroom environment varies with different types of interaction.B.The physical environment is a deciding factor for a successful lesson.C.Interactive learning depends on individuals’ active involvement.D.Group work has become a trend in classroom teaching.Domestic orders placed by December 20 will arrive for Christmas.Overseas orders placed by December 9 will arrive for Christmas.Overnight orders placed by December 22 will arrive for Christmas for an addition fee.Framed orders(domestic or overseas) require additional time for delivery.About Our PaperWe use high-quality,acid-free papers or heavy weight Exhibition Gallery Canvas.Paper SizesPaper sizes are in inches.If an image’s dimensions(尺寸) don’t exactly match the paper’s dimensions there will be a wider margin on the narrowest side.The long edge on prints 34×47 and larger will vary depending on the dimensions of the photo and may be longer than the size listed.Custom(定制的)FramesWe’ve partnered with Simply Framed to offer high-quality custom frames made in the USA.Please allow an additional 3 weeks for delivery.Frames come in black or brown wooden finish and include protective paperback finish,wall bumpers,hanging hardware+nails,hanging and care instructions.Frames arrive gift-wrapped in brown paper.Framed sales are final.60.If you want to order a 17×22 print on canvas with a black frame,how much are you expected to pay?A.$45.00USD.B.$70.00USD.C.$215.00USD.

Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.To some people,the idea of reading comic books seems childish.(67)__________ Comics are published globally,but Japanese and American versions dominate the market despite the fact—or perhaps because—they differ in a number of ways.(68)__________ American comics are a group effort, beginning with the story-writing team and the artist who produces drawings of initial ideas. When these drafts are finalized, the outlines,dialogue,and color are added.Also,creators of comic superheroes sometimes sell their titles to other creative teams,who keep the superhero “alive”.This is in sharp contrast to manga(日本漫画) creators,who are often individual authors merely responsible for the storylines,dialogue,and artwork.When a manga creator decides to stop,so does the hero.Another difference is the appearance of the heroes.(69)__________ Also,manga heroes rarely look Japanese,and the stories do not typically take place in a Japanese context.However,American comic heroes,despite their masks,are proudly American and are admired for their readiness to defend U.S. cities.Probably the biggest difference is the readership.Up until the 1950s,American comic books were read by both children and adults,with popular titles such as Superman selling as many as half a million copies per month.The arrival of TV,however,led to a decline in sales so that now the average reader of an American comic book is a teenage boy with an interest in superheroes.(70)__________ There manga sales are still booming,reaching as high as $7 billion each year largely because readers range from young boys and girls up to middle-aged men and women.Manga for men and boys,like the American comics,tend to be action-oriented,while manga for women and girls tend to be focused on relationships.I V. Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.ShynessIf you suffer from shyness,you are not alone,for shyness is a universal phenomenon.It is not surprising that social scientists are exploring its environmental causes.The first environmental cause of shyness may be a child’s home and family life.Today’s children are growing up in smaller and smaller families,with fewer and fewer relatives living nearby.Growing up in homes in which both parents work full time,children may not have the socializing experience of frequent visits by neighbors and friends.Because of their lack of social skills,they may begin to feel shy when they start school.A second environmental cause of shyness in an individual may be one’s culture.In a large study conducted in Japan,57 percent of participants rated themselves as shy.Researchers Lynne Henderson and Philip Zimbardo say, “One explanation is that in Japan,an individual’s performance success is credited externally to parents,grandparents,teachers,coaches,and others,while failure is entirely blamed on the person.”Therefore,Japanese learn not to take risks i public and rely instead on group-shared decisions.Technology may also play a role.In the United States,the number of young people who report being shy has risen from 40 percent to 50 percent in recent years.Due to our huge advances in technology,watching television,playing video games,and surfing the Web have replaced recreational activities that involve social interaction for many young people.Adults,too,are becoming more isolated as a result of technology.Face-to-face interactions with bank clerks,gas station attendants,and shop assistants are no longer necessary because people can use machines to do their banning,fill their gas tanks,and order goods.In short,they become shy.It appears that most people have experienced shyness at some time in their lives.Therefore,if you are shy,you have lots of company.第II卷(共40分)V.
