Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. 〔40 points〕Text 1It is curious that Stephen Koziatek feels almost as though he has to justify his efforts to give his students a better future.Mr.Koziatek is part of something pioneering. He is a teacher at a New Hampshire high school where learning is not something of books and tests and mechanical memorization, but practical. When did it become accepted wisdom that students should be able to name the 13th president of the United States but be utterly overwhelmed by a broken bike chain?As Koziatek knows, there is learning in just about everything. Nothing is necessarily gained by forcing students to learn geometry at a graffitied desk stuck with generations of discarded chewing gum. They can also learn geometry by assembling a bicycle.But he’s also found a kind of insidious prejudice. Working with your hands is seen as almost a mark of inferiority. Schools in the family of vocational education “have that stereotype, that it’s for kids who can’t make it academically,〞 he says.On one hand, that viewpoint is a logical product of America’s evolution. Manufacturing is not the economic engine that it once was. The job security that the US economy once offered to high school graduates has largely evaporated. More education is the new principle. We want more for our kids, and rigitfully so.But the headlong push into bachelor’s degrees for all -and the subtle devaluing of anything less-misses an important point: That’s not the onl y thing the American economy needs. Yes, a bachelor’s degree opens more doors. But even now, 54 percent of the jobs in the country are middle-skill jobs, such as construction and high-skill manufacturing. But only 44 percent of workers are adequately trained.In other words, at a time when the working class has turned the country on its political head, frustrated that the opportunity that once defined America is vanishing, one obvious solution is staring us in the face. There is a gap in working-class jobs, but the workers who need those jobs most aren’t equipped to do them. Koziatek’s Manchester School of Technology High School is trying to fill that gap. Koziatek’s school is a wake-up call. When education becomes one-size-fits-all, it risks overlooking a nation’s diversity of gifts.21. A broken bike chain is mentioned to show students’ lack of______.A. mechanical memorizationB. academic trainingC. practical abilityD. pioneering spirit22. There exists the prejudice that vocational education is for kids who______.A. are financially disadvantagedB. are not academically successfulC. have a stereotyped mindD. have no career motivation23. We can infer from Paragraph 5 that high school graduates______.A. are entitled to more “educational privilegesB. are reluctant to work in manufacturingC .used to have more job opportunitiesD. used to have big financial concerns24. The headlong push into bachelor’s degrees for all_____.A. helps create a lot of middle-skill jobsB. may narrow the gap in working-class jobsC. is expected to yield a better-trained workforceD. indicates the overvaluing of higher education25. The author’s attitude toward Koziatek’s school can be described as_____.A. supportiveB. disappointedC. tolerantD. cautiousText2While fossil fuels- coal, oil, gas- still generate roughly 85 percent of the world's energy supply, it's clearer than ever that the future belongs to renewable sources such as wind and solar. The move to renewables is picking up momentum around the world: They now account for more than half of new power sources going on line.Some growth stems from a commitment by governments and farsighted Business to fund cleaner energy sources. But increasingly the stories about the plummeting prices of renewables, especially wind and solar. The cost of solar panels has dropped by 80 percent and the cost of wind turbines by close to one-third in the past eight years.In many parts of the world renewable energy is already a principal energy source. In Scotland, for example, wind turbines provide enough electricity to power 95 percent of homes. While the rest of the world takes the lead, notably China and Europe, the United States is also seeing a remarkable shift. In March, for the first time, wind and solar power accounted for more than 10 percent of the power generated in the US ,reported the US Energy Information Administration.President Trump has underlined fossil fuels - especially coal - as the path to economic growth. In a recent speech in Iowa, he dismissed wind power as an unreliable energy source, But that message did not play well with many in Iowa, where wind turbines dot the fields and provide 36 percent of the state's electricity generation - and where tech giants like Microsoft are beingattracted by the availability of clean energy to power their data centers.The question “what happens when the wind doesn't blow or the sun doesn'tshine?" has provid ed a quick put-down for skeptics. But a boost in the storage-capacity of batteries is making their ability to keep power flowing around the clock more likely.The advance is driven in part by vehicle manufacturers, who are placing big bets on battery-powered electric vehicles. Although electric cars are still a rarity on roads now, this massive investment could change the picture rapidly in coming years.While there's a long way to go, the trend lines for renewables are spiking. The pace of change in energy sources appears to be speeding up perhaps: just in time to have a meaningful effect in slowing climate change. What Washington does-or doesn't do- to promote alternative energy may mean less and less a time of a global shift in thought.26. The word "plummeting"(Line 3,Para.2) is closest in meaning to ______A. stabilizingB. changingC. fallingD. rising27. According to Paragraph 3, the use of renewable energy in America ______A. is progressing notablyB. is as extensive as in EuropeC. faces many challengesD. has proved to be impractical28. It can be learned that in Iowa,______.A. wind is a widely used energy sourceB. wind energy has replaced fossil fuelsC. tech giants are investing in clean energyD. there is a shortage of clean energy supply29. Which of the following is true about clean energy according to Paragraphs 5&6?A. Its application has boosted battery storage.B. It is commonly used in car manufacturing.C. Its continuous supply is becoming a reality.D. Its sustainable exploitation will remain difficult.30. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that renewable energy _____.A. will bring the US closer to other countriesB. will accelerate global environmental changeC. is not really encouraged by the US governmentD. is not competitive enough with regard to its costText 3The power and ambition of the giants of the digital economy is astonishing —Amazon has just announced the purchase of the upmarket grocery chain Whole Foods for $13.5bn, but two years ago Facebook paid even more than that to acquire the WhatsApp messaging service, which doesn’t have any physical product at all. What WhatsApp offered Facebook was an intricate and finely detailed web of its users’ friendships and social lives.Facebook promised the European commission then that it would not link phone numbers to Facebook identities, but it broke the promise almost as soon as the deal went through. Even without knowing what was in the messages, the knowledge of who sent them and to whom was enormously revealing and still could be. What political journalist, what party whip, would not want to know the mak eup of the WhatsApp groups in which Theresa May’s enemies are currently plotting? It may be that the value of Whole Foods to Amazon is not so much the 460 shops of owns, but the records of which customers have purchased what.Competition law appears to be the only way to address these imbalances of power. But it is clumsy. For one thing, it is very slow compared to the pace of change within the digital economy. By the time a problem has been addressed and remedied it may have vanished in the marketplace, to be replaced by new abuses of power. But there is a deeper conceptual problem, too. Competition law as presently interpreted deals with financial disadvantage to consumers and this is not obvious when the users of these services don’t pay for them. The users of their services are not their customers. That would be the people who buy advertising from them — and Facebook and Google, the two virtual giants, dominate digital advertising to the disadvantage of all other media and entertainment companies.The product they’re selling is data, and we, the users, convert our lives to data for the benefit of the digital giants. Just as some ants farm the bugs called aphids for the honeydew they produce whe31.According to Paragraph1，Facebook acquired WhatsApp for its 。

And new research suggests that happiness might influence 1 firms work, too. Companies located in places with happier people invest more, according to a recent research paper.2 , firms in happy places spend more on R&D (research and development). That"s because happiness is linked to the kind of longer-term thinking3 for making investments for the future. The researchers wanted to know if the4 and inclination for risk-taking that come with happiness would5 the way companies invested. So they compared U. S. cities" average happiness6 by Gallup polling with the investment activity of publicly traded firms in those areas.7 enough, firms" investment and R&D intensity were correlated with the happiness of the area in which they were 8 . But is it really happiness that"s linked to investment, or could something else about happier cities 9 why firms there spend more on R&D? To find out, the researchers controlled for various 10 that might make firms more likely to invest——like size, industry, and sales——and for indicators that a place was 11 to live in, like growth in wages or population. The link between happiness and investment generally 12 even after accounting for these things. The correlation between happiness and investment was particularly strong for younger firms, which the authors 13 to "less codified decision making process" and the possible presence of "younger and less 14 managers who are more likely to be influenced by sentiment." The relationship was 15 stronger in places where happiness was spread more 16 Firms seem to invest more in places where most people are relatively happy, rather than in places with happiness inequality.17 this doesn"t prove that happiness causes firms to invest more or to take a longer-term view, the authors believe it at least 18 at that possibility. It"s not hard to imagine that local culture and sentiment would help 19 how executives think about the future. "It surely seems plausible that happy people would be more forward-thinking and creative and 20 R&D more than the average," said one researcher.（分数：10.00）A.whyB.howC.whereD.whenA.In returnB.In particularC.In contrastD.In conclusionA.necessaryB.famousC.perfectD.sufficientA.individualismB.realismC.optimismD.modernismA.missB.echoC.spoilD.changeB.measuredC.assumedD.inventedA.SureB.OddC.UnfortunateD.OftenA.dividedB.advertisedC.overtaxedD.headquarteredA.summarizeB.overstateC.explainD.emphasizeA.factorsB.stagesC.levelsD.methodsA.desirableB.sociableC.reliableD.reputableA.resumedB.emergedC.heldD.brokeA.assignB.attributeC.transferpareA.seriousB.civilizedC.ambitiousD.experiencedA.insteadB.thusC.alsoD.neverA.rapidlyB.directlyC.regularlyD.equallyA.WhileB.UntilC.AfterD.SinceA.arrivesC.hintsD.strikesA.shareB.rediscoverC.simplifyD.shapeA.pray forB.lean towardsC.send outD.give away二、Section Ⅱ Reading Co(总题数：0，分数：0.00)三、Part A(总题数：0，分数：0.00)四、Text 1(总题数：1，分数：10.00)It"s true that high-school coding classes aren"t essential for learning computer science in college. Students without experience can catch up after a few introductory courses, said Tom Cortina, the assistant dean at Carnegie Mellon"s School of Computer Science.However, Cortina said, early exposure is beneficial. When younger kids learn computer science, they learn that it"s not just a confusing, endless string of letters and numbers—but a tool to build apps, or create artwork, or test hypotheses. It"s not as hard for them to transform their thought processes as it is for older students. Breaking down problems into bite-sized chunks and using code to solve them becomes normal. Giving more children this training could increase the number of people interested in the field and help fill the jobs gap, Cortina said.Students also benefit from learning something about coding before they get to college, where introductory computer-science classes are packed to the brim, which can drive the less-experienced or-determined students away.The Flatiron School, where people pay to learn programming, started as one of the many coding bootcamps that"s become popular for adults looking for a career change. The high-schoolers get the same curriculum, but "we try to gear lessons toward things they"re interested in," said Victoria Friedman, an instructor. For instance, one of the apps the students are developing suggests movies based on your mood.The students in the Flatiron class probably won"t drop out of high school and build the next Facebook. Programming languages have a quick turnover, so the "Ruby on Rails" language they learned may not even be relevant by the time they enter the job market. But the skills they learn—how to think logically through a problem and organize the results—apply to any coding language, said Deborah Seehorn, an education consultant for the state of North Carolina.Indeed, the Flatiron students might not go into IT at all. But creating a future army of coders is not the sole purpose of the classes. These kids are going to be surrounded by computers—in their pockets, in their offices, in their homes—for the rest of their lives. The younger they learn how computers think, how to coax the machine into producing what they want—the earlier they learn that they have the power to do that—the better.（分数：10.00）(1).Cortina holds that early exposure to computer science makes it easier to ______.（分数：2.00）plete future job trainingB.remodel the way of thinkingC.formulate logical hypothesesD.perfect artwork production(2).In delivering lessons for high-schoolers, Flatiron has considered their ______.（分数：2.00）A.experienceB.interestC.career prospectsD.academic backgrounds(3).Deborah Seehorn believes that the skills learned at Flatiron will ______.（分数：2.00）A.help students learn other computer languagesB.have to be upgraded when new technologies comeC.need improving when students look for jobsD.enable students to make big quick money(4).According to the last paragraph, Flatiron students are expected to ______.（分数：2.00）A.bring forth innovative computer technologiesB.stay longer in the information technology industryC.become better prepared for the digitalized worldpete with a future army of programmers(5).The word "coax" (Para. 6) is closest in meaning to ______.（分数：2.00）A.persuadeB.frightenC.misguideD.challenge五、Text 2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Biologists estimate that as many as 2 million lesser prairie chickens—a kind of bird living on stretching grasslands—once lent red to the often grey landscape of the midwestern and southwestern United States. But just some 22,000 birds remain today, occupying about 16% of the species" historic range.The crash was a major reason the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) decided to formally list the bird as threatened. "The lesser prairie chicken is in a desperate situation," said USFWS Director Daniel Ashe. Some environmentalists, however, were disappointed. They had pushed the agency to designate the bird as "endangered," a status that gives federal officials greater regulatory power to crack down on threats. But Ashe and others argued that the"threatened" tag gave the federal government flexibility to try out new, potentially less confrontational conservation approaches. In particular, they called for forging closer collaborations with western state governments, which are often uneasy with federal action, and with the private landowners who control an estimated 95% of the prairie chicken"s habitat.Under the plan, for example, the agency said it would not prosecute landowners or businesses that unintentionally kill, harm, or disturb the bird, as long as they had signed a range-wide management plan to restore prairie chicken habitat. Negotiated by USFWS and the states, the plan requires individuals and businesses that damage habitat as part of their operations to pay into a fund to replace every acre destroyed with 2 new acres of suitable habitat. The fund will also be used to compensate landowners who set aside habitat. USFWS also set an interim goal of restoring prairie chicken populations to an annual average of 67,000 birds over the next l0 years. And it gives the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (WAFWA), a coalition of state agencies, the job of monitoring progress. Overall, the idea is to let "states remain in the driver"s seat for managing the species," Ashe said.Not everyone buys the win-win rhetoric. Some Congress members are trying to block the plan, and at least a dozen industry groups, four states, and three environmental groups are challenging it in federal court. Not surprisingly, industry groups and states generally argue it goes too far; environmentalists say it doesn"t go far enough. "The federal government is giving responsibility for managing the bird to the same industries that are pushing it to extinction," says biologist Jay Lininger.（分数：10.00）(1).The major reason for listing the lesser prairie chicken as threatened is ______.（分数：2.00）A.its drastically decreased populationB.the underestimate of the grassland acreageC.a desperate appeal from some biologistsD.the insistence of private landowners(2).The "threatened" tag disappointed some environmentalists in that it ______.（分数：2.00）A.was a give-in to governmental pressureB.would involve fewer agencies in actionC.granted less federal regulatory powerD.went against conservation policies(3).It can be learned from Paragraph 3 that unintentional harm-doers will not be prosecuted if they ______.（分数：2.00）A.agree to pay a sum for compensationB.volunteer to set up an equally big habitatC.offer to support the WAFWA monitoring jobD.promise to raise funds for USFWS operations(4).According to Ashe, the leading role in managing the species is ______．（分数：2.00）A.the federal governmentB.the wildlife agenciesC.the landownersD.the states(5).Jay Lininger would most likely support ______.（分数：2.00）A.industry groupsB.the win—win rhetoricC.environmental groupsD.the plan under challenge六、Text 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)That everyone"s too busy these days is a cliche. But one specific complaint is made especially mournfully: There"s never any time to read.What makes the problem thornier is that the usual time-management techniques don"t seem sufficient. The web"s full of articles offering tips on making time to read: "Give up TV" or "Carry a book with you at all times." But in my experience, using such methods to free up the odd 30 minutes doesn"t work. Sit down to read and the flywheel of work-related thoughts keeps spinning—or else you"re so exhausted that a challenging book"s the last thing you need. The modern mind, Tim Parks, a novelist and critic, writes, "is overwhelmingly inclined toward communication... It is not simply that one is interrupted; it is that one is actually inclined to interruption." Deep reading requires not just time, but a special kind of time which can"t be obtained merely by becoming more efficient.In fact, "becoming more efficient" is part of the problem. Thinking of time as a resource to be maximised means you approach it instrumentally, judging any given moment as well spent only in so far as it advances progress toward some goal. Immersive reading, by contrast, depends on being willing to risk inefficiency, goallessness, even time-wasting. Try to slot it in as a to-do list item and you"ll manage only goal-focused reading—useful, sometimes, but not the most fulfilling kind. "The future comes at us like empty bottles along an unstoppable and nearly infinite conveyor belt," writes Gary Eberle in his book Sacred Time, and "we feel a pressure to fill these different-sized bottles (days, hours, minutes) as they pass, for if they get by without being filled, we will have wasted them." No mind-set could be worse for losing yourself in a book. So what does work? Perhaps surprisingly, scheduling regular times for reading. You"d think thismight fuel the efficiency mind-set, but in fact, Eberle notes, such ritualistic behaviour helps us "step outside time"s flow" into "soul time." You could limit distractions by reading only physical books, or on single-purpose e-readers. " Carry a book with you at all times" can actually work, too—providing you dip in often enough, so that reading becomes the default state from which you temporarily surface to take care of business, before dropping back down. On a really good day, it no longer feels as if you"re "making time to read," but just reading, and making time for everything else.（分数：10.00）(1).The usual time-management techniques don"t work because ______.（分数：2.00）A.what they can offer does not ease the modern mindB.what challenging books demand is repetitive readingC.what people often forget is carrying a book with themD.what deep reading requires cannot be guaranteed(2).The "empty bottles" metaphor illustrates that people feel a pressure to ______.（分数：2.00）A.update their to-do listsB.make passing time fulfillingC.carry their plans throughD.pursue carefree reading(3).Eberle would agree that scheduling regular times for reading helps ______.（分数：2.00）A.encourage the efficiency mind-setB.develop online reading habitsC.promote ritualistic readingD.achieve immersive reading(4)."Carry a book with you at all times" can work if ______.（分数：2.00）A.reading becomes your primary business of the dayB.all the daily business has been promptly dealt withC.you are able to drop back to business after readingD.time can be evenly split for reading and business(5).The best title for this text could be ______.（分数：2.00）A.How to Enjoy Easy ReadingB.How to Find Time to ReadC.How to Set Reading GoalsD.How to Read Extensively七、Text 4(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Against a backdrop of drastic changes in economy and population structure, younger Americans are drawing a new 21st-century road map to success, a latest poll has found.Across generational lines, Americans continue to prize many of the same traditional milestones of a successful life, including getting married, having children, owning a home, and retiring in their sixties. But while young and old mostly agree on what constitutes the finish line of a fulfilling life, they offer strikingly different paths for reaching it.Young people who are still getting started in life were more likely than older adults to prioritize personal fulfillment in their work, to believe they will advance their careers most by regularly changing jobs, to favor communities with more public services and a faster pace of life, to agree that couples should be financially secure before getting married or having children, and to maintain that children are best served by two parents working outside the home, the survey found. From career to community and family, these contrasts suggest that in the aftermath of the searing Great Recession, those just starting out in life are defining priorities and expectations that will increasingly spread through virtually all aspects of American life, from consumer preferences to housing patterns to politics.Young and old converge on one key point: Overwhelming majorities of both groups said they believeit is harder for young people today to get started in life than it was for earlier generations. While younger people are somewhat more optimistic than their elders about the prospects for those starting out today, big majorities in both groups believe those "just getting started in life" face a tougher climb than earlier generations in reaching such signpost achievements as securing a good-paying job, starting a family, managing debt, and finding affordable housing.Pete Schneider considers the climb tougher today. Schneider, a 27-year-old auto technician from the Chicago suburbs, says he struggled to find a job after graduating from college. Even now that he is working steadily, he said, "I can"t afford to pay my monthly mortgage payments on my own, so I have to rent rooms out to people to make that happen." Looking back, he is struck that his parents could provide a comfortable life for their children even though neither had completed college when he was young. "I still grew up in an upper middleclass home with parents who didn"t have college degrees," Schneider said. "I don"t think people are capable of that anymore."（分数：10.00）(1).One cross-generation mark of a successful life is ______.（分数：2.00）A.trying out different lifestylesB.having a family with childrenC.working beyond retirement ageD.setting up a profitable business(2).It can be learned from Paragraph 3 that young people tend to ______.（分数：2.00）A.favor a slower life paceB.hold an occupation longerC.attach importance to pre-marital financeD.give priority to childcare outside the home(3).The priorities and expectations defined by the young will ______.（分数：2.00）A.become increasingly clearB.focus on materialistic issuesC.depend largely on political preferencesD.reach almost all aspects of American life(4).Both young and old agree that ______.（分数：2.00）A.good-paying jobs are less availableB.the old made more life achievementsC.housing loans today are easy to obtainD.getting established is harder for the young(5).Which of the following is true about Schneider?（分数：2.00）A.He found a dream job after graduating from college.B.His parents believe working steadily is a must for success.C.His parents" good life has little to do with a college degree.D.He thinks his job as a technician quite challenging.八、Part B(总题数：1，分数：10.00)A. Be sillyB. Have funC. Ask for helpD. Express your emotionsE. Don"t overthink itF. Be easily pleasedG. Notice thingsAct Your Shoe Size, Not Your AgeAs adults, it seems that we are constantly pursuing happiness, often with mixed results. Yetchildren appear to have it down to an art—and for the most part they don"t need self-help books or therapy. Instead, they look after their wellbeing instinctively, and usually more effectively than we do as grownups. Perhaps it"s time to learn a few lessons from them.1What does a child do when he"s sad? He cries. When he"s angry? He shouts. Scared? Probably a bit of both. As we grow up, we learn to control our emotions so they are manageable and don"t dictate our behaviours, which is in many ways a good thing. But too often we take this process too far and end up suppressing emotions, especially negative ones. That"s about as effective as brushing dirt under a carpet and can even make us ill. What we need to do is find a way to acknowledge and express what we feel appropriately, and then—again, like children—move on.2A couple of Christmases ago, my youngest stepdaughter, who was nine years old at the time, got a Superman T-shirt for Christmas. It cost less than a fiver but she was overjoyed, and couldn"t stop talking about it. Too often we believe that a new job, bigger house or better car will be the magic silver bullet that will allow us to finally be content, but the reality is these things have very little lasting impact on our happiness levels. Instead, being grateful for small things every day is a much better way to improve wellbeing.3Have you ever noticed how much children laugh? If we adults could indulge in a bit of silliness and giggling, we would reduce the stress hormones in our bodies, increase good hormones like endorphins, improve blood flow to our hearts and even have a greater chance of fighting off infection. All of which would, of course, have a positive effect on our happiness levels.4The problem with being a grownup is that there"s an awful lot of serious stuff to deal with —work, mortgage payments, figuring out what to cook for dinner. But as adults we also have the luxury of being able to control our own diaries and it"s important that we schedule in time to enjoy the things we love. Those things might be social, sporting, creative or completely random (dancing around the living room, anyone?)—it doesn"t matter, so long as they"re enjoyable, and not likely to have negative side effects, such as drinking too much alcohol or going on a wild spending spree if you"re on a tight budget.5Having said all of the above, it"s important to add that we shouldn"t try too hard to be happy. Scientists tell us this can backfire and actually have a negative impact on our wellbeing. As the Chinese philosopher Chuang Tzu is reported to have said : "Happiness is the absence of striving for happiness." And in that, once more, we need to look to the example of our children, to whom happiness is not a goal but a natural byproduct of the way they live.（分数：10.00）九、Section Ⅲ Translatio(总题数：1，分数：15.00)1.The supermarket is designed to lure customers into spending as much time as possible within its doors. The reason for this is simple: The longer you stay in the store, the more stuff you"ll see, and the more stuff you see, the more you"ll buy. And supermarkets contain a lot of stuff. The average supermarket, according to the Food Marketing Institute, carries some 44,000 different items, and many carry tens of thousands more. The sheer volume of available choice is enough to send shoppers into a state of information overload. According to brain-scan experiments, the demands of so much decision-making quickly become too much for us. After about 40 minutes of shopping, most people stop struggling to be rationally selective, and instead begin shopping emotionally—which is the point at which we accumulate the 50 percent of stuff in our cart that we never intended buying.（分数：15.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________十、Section Ⅳ Writing(总题数：0，分数：0.00)十一、Part A(总题数：1，分数：10.00)2.DirectionsSuppose you won a translation contest and your friend, Jack, wrote an email to congratulate you and ask for advice on translation.

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.(40points)Text 1This rule is meant to address the difficulty that students from impoverished or chaotic homes might have in completing their homework. But the policy is unclear and contradictory. Certainly, no homework should be assigned that students cannot do without expensive equipment. But if the district is essentially giving a pass to students who do not do their homework because of complicated family lives, it is going riskily close to the implication that standards need to be lowered for poor children.District administrators say that homework will still be a pat of schooling: teachers are allowed to assign as much of it as they want. But with homework counting for no more than 10%of their grades, students can easily skip half their homework and see vey little difference on their report cards. Some students might do well onstate tests without completing their homework, but what about the students who performed well on the tests and did their homework Itis quite possible that the homework helped. Yet rather than empowering teachers to find what works best for their students, the policy imposes a flat, across-the-board rule.At the same time, the policy addresses none of the truly thorny questions about homework. If the district finds homework to be unimportant to its students’ academic achievement, it should moveto reduce or eliminate the assignments, not make them count foralmost nothing. Conversely,if homework matters,it should account for asignificant portion of the grade.Meanwhile,this policy does nothing to ensure that the homework students receive is meaningful oraooropriate to theirage and the subject.or that teachers are not assigning more than they are willing to review and correct.The homework rules should be put on hold while the school board, which is responsible for setting educational policy, looks into thematter and conducts public hearings. It is not too late for L.A. Unified to do homework right.21.It is implied in paragraph 1 that nowadays homework_____.[A] is receiving more criticism[B]is no longer an educational ritual[C]is not required for advanced courses[D]is gaining more preferences[A]tend to have moderate expectations for their education[B]have asked for a different educational standard[C]may have problems finishing their homework[D]have voiced their complaints about homework23. According to Paragraph 3,one problem with the policy is that it may____.[A]discourage students from doing homework[B]result in students' indifference to their report cards[C]undermine the authority of state tests[D]restrict teachers' power in education24. As mentioned in Paragraph 4, a key question unanswered about homework is whether______.[A] it should be eliminated[B]it counts much in schooling[C]it places extra burdens on teachers[D]it is important for grades25.A suitable title for this text could be______.[A]Wrong Interpretation of an Educational Policy[B]A Welcomed Policy for Poor Students[C]Thorny Questions about Homework[D]A Faulty Approach to HomeworkText 2Pretty in pink: adult women do not remember being so obsessed with the colour, yet it is pervasive in our young girls’ lives. It is not that pink is intrinsically bad, but it is such a tiny slice of the rainbow and, though it may celebrate girlhood in one way, it also repeatedly and firmly fuses girls’ identity to appearance. Then it presents that connection, even among two-year-olds, between girls as not only innocent but as evidence of innocence. Looking around, I despaired at the singular lack of imagination aboutgirls’ lives and interests.Girls’ attraction to pink may seem unavoidable, somehow encoded in their DNA, but according to Jo Paoletti, an associate professor of American Studies, it is not. Children were not colour-coded atall until the early 20th century: in the era before domestic washing machines all babies wore white as a practical matter, since the only way of getting clothes clean was to boil them. What’s more, bothboys and girls wore what were thought of as gender-neutral dresses. When nursery colours were introduced, pink was actually considered the more masculine colour, a pastel version of red, which was associated with strength. Blue, with its intimations of the Virgin Mary, constancy and faithfulness, symbolised femininity. It was not until the mid-1980s, when amplifying age and sex differences became a dominant children’s marketing strategy, that pink fully came into its own, when it began to seem inherently attractive to girls, part of what defined them as female, at least for the first few critical years.I had not realised how profoundly marketing trends dictated our perception of what is natural to kids, including our core beliefs about their psychological development. Take the toddler. I assumed that phase was something experts developed after years of research into children’s behaviour: wrong. Turns out, according to Daniel Cook, a historian of childhood consumerism, it was popularised as a marketing trick by clothing manufacturers in the 1930s.Trade publications counselled department stores that, in order to increase sales, they should create a “third stepping, stone” between infant wear and older kids’ clothes. It was only after “toddler” became a common shoppers’ term that it evolved into a broadly accepted developmental stage. Splitting kids, or adults,into ever-tinier categories has proved a sure-fire way to boost profits. And one of the easiest ways to segment a market is to magnify gender differences - or invent them where they did not previously exist.26.By saying "it is...the rainbow"(Line 3, Para.1),the author means pink______.[A]should not be the sole representation of girlhood[B]should not be associated with girls' innocence[C]cannot explain girls' lack of imagination[D]cannot influence girls' lives and interests27.According to Paragraph 2, which of the following is true of colours？[A]Colours are encoded in girls' DNA.[B]Blue used to be regarded as the colour for girls.[C]Pink used to be a neutral colour in symbolising genders.[D]White is prefered by babies.28.The author suggests that our perception of children'spsychological development was much influenced by_____.[A]the marketing of products for children[B]the observation of children's nature[C]researches into children's behavior[D]studies of childhood consumption29.We may learn from Paragraph 4 that department stores were advised to_____.[A]focus on infant wear and older kids' clothes[B]attach equal importance to different genders[C]classify consumers into smaller groups[D]create some common shoppers' terms30.It can be concluded that girls' attraction to pink seems tobe____.[A] clearly explained by their inborn tendency[B]fully understood by clothing manufacturers[C] mainly imposed by profit-driven businessmen[D]well interpreted by psychological expertsText 3In 2010, a federal judge shook America's biotech industry to its core. Companies had won patents for isolated DNA for decades-by 2005 some 20% of human genes were parented. But in March 2010 a judge ruled that genes were unpatentable. Executives were violently agitated. The Biotechnology Industry Organisation (BIO), a trade group, assured members that this was just a “preliminary step” in a longer battle.On July 29th they were relieved, at least temporarily. A federal appeals court overturned the prior decision, ruling that MyriadGenetics could indeed hold patents to two genes that help forecast a woman's risk of breast cancer. The chief executive of Myriad, a company in Utah, said the ruling was a blessing to firms andpatients alike.But as companies continue their attempts at personalised medicine, the courts will remain rather busy. The Myriad case itself is probably not over Critics make three main arguments against gene patents: a gene is a product of nature, so it may not be patented; gene patents suppress innovation rather than reward it; and patents' monopolies restrict access to genetic tests such as Myriad's. A growing number seem to agree. Last year a federal task-force urged reform for patents related to genetic tests. In October the Department of Justice filed a brief in the Myriad case, arguing that an isolated DNA molecule “is no less a product of nature... than are cotton fibres that have been separated from cotton seeds. ”Despite the appeals court's decision, big questions remain unanswered. For example, it is unclear whether the sequencing of a whole genome violates the patents of individual genes within it. The case may yet reach the Supreme Court.As the industry advances, however, other suits may have an even greater impact. Companies are unlikely to file many more patents for human DNA molecules-most are already patented or in the publicdomain .firms are now studying how genes interact, looking for correlations that might be used to determine the causes of disease or predict a drug’s efficacy, companies are eager to win patentsfor “connecting the dots,” explains Hans Sauer, a lawyer for the BIO.Their success may be determined by a suit related to this issue, brought by the Mayo Clinic, which the Supreme Court will hear in its next term. The BIO recently held a convention which included sessions to coach lawyers on the shifting landscape for patents. Each meeting was packed.31. It can be learned from Paragraph 1 that the biotech companies would like .[A] their executives to be active[B] judges to rule out gene patenting[C] genes to be patentable[D] the BIO to issue a warning32.Those who are against gene patents believe that .[A] genetic tests are not reliable[B] only man-made products are patentable[C] patents on genes depend much on innovation[D] courts should restrict access to gene tic tests33. According to Hans Sauer, companies are eager to win patentsfor .[A] establishing disease correlations[B] discovering gene interactions[C] drawing pictures of genes[D] identifying human DNA34. By saying “each meeting was packed”(Line4,Para.6) the author means that .[A] the supreme court was authoritative[B] the BIO was a powerful organization[C] gene patenting was a great concern[D] lawyers were keen to attend conventions35. Generally speaking, the author’s attitude toward gene patenting is .[A] critical[B] supportive[C] scornful[D] objectiveText 4The great recession may be over, but this era of high joblessness is probably beginning. Before it ends, it will likely change thelife course and character of a generation of young adults. Andultimately, it is likely to reshape our politics, our culture, and the character of our society for years.No one tries harder than the jobless to find silver linings in this national economic disaster. Many said that unemployment, while extremely painful, had improved them in some ways; they had become less materialistic and more financially prudent; they were more aware of the struggles of others. In limited respects, perhaps the recession will leave society better off. At the very last, it has awoken us from our national fever dream of easy riches and bigger houses, and put a necessary end to an ear of reckless personal spending.But for the most part, these benefits seem thin, uncertain, and far off. In The Moral Consequences of Economic Growth, the economic historian Benjamin Friedman argues that both inside and outside the U.S., lengthy periods of economic stagnation or decline have almost always left society more mean-spirited and less inclusive, and have usually stopped or reversed the advance of rights and freedoms. Anti-immigrant sentiment typically increases, as does conflict between races and classes.In come inequality usually falls during a recession, but it has not shrunk in this one. Indeed, this period of economic weakness may reinforce class divides, and decrease opportunities to cross them-especially for young people. The research of Till Von Wachter, the economist at ColumbiaUniversity suggests that not all people graduating into a recession see their life chances dimmed; those with degrees from elite universities catch up fairly quickly to where they otherwise would have been if they had graduated in better times; it is the masses beneath them that are left behind.In the Internet age, it is particularly easy to see the resentment that has always been hidden within American society. More difficult, in the moment, is discerning precisely how these lean times are affecting society’s character. In many respects, the U.S. was more socially tolerant entering this recession than at any time in its history, and a variety of national polls on social conflict since then have shown mixed results. We will have to wait and see exactly how these hard times will reshape our social fabric. But they certainly it, and all the more so the longer they extend.36. By saying “to find silver linings” (Line 1, Para. 2) the author suggests that the jobless try to.[A] seek subsidies from the government[B] explore reasons for the unemployment[C] make profits from the troubled economy[D] look on the bright side of the recession37. according to Paragraph 2, the recession has made people .[A] realize the national dream[B] struggle against each other[C] challenge their prudence[D] reconsider their lifestyle38. Benjamin Friedman believes that economic recession may .[A] impose a heavier burden on immigrants[B] bring out more evils of human nature[C] promote the advance of rights and freedoms[D] ease conflicts between races and classes39.The research of Till Von Wachter suggests that in the recession graduates from elite universities tend to .[A] lag behind the others due to decreased opportunities[B] catch up quickly with experienced employees[C] see their life chances as dimmed as the others[D] recover more quickly than the others40. The author thinks that the influence of hard times on societyis .[A] certain[B] positive[C] trivial[D] destructivePart BDirections:Read the following text and answer the questions by finding information from the right column that corresponds to each of the marked details given in the left column.

(10 points)“Universal history, the history of what man has accomplished inthis world, is at bottom the History of the Great Men who haveworked here,” wrote the Victorian sage Thomas Carlyle. Well, notany more it is not.Suddenly, Britain looks to have fallen out with its favourite historical form. This could be no more than a passing literary craze, but it also points to a broader truth about how we now approach the past: less concerned with learning from forefathers and moreinterested in feeling their pain. Today, we want empathy, not inspiration.From the earliest days of the Renaissance, the writing of history meant recounting the exemplary lives of great men. In 1337, Petrarch began work on his rambling writing De Viris Illustribus - On Famous Men, highlighting the virtus (or virtue) of classical heroes.Petrarch celebrated their greatness in conquering fortune and rising to the top. This was the biographical tradition which NiccoloMachiavelli turned on its head. In The Prince, the championed cunning,ruthlessness, and boldness, rather than virtue, mercy and justice, as the skills of successfulleaders.Over time, the attributes of greatness shifted. The Romantics commemorated the leading painters and authors of their day,stressing the uniqueness of the artist's personal experience rather than public glory. By contrast, the Victorian author Samual Smiles wrote Self-Help as a catalogue of the worthy lives of engineers , industrialists and explores . "The valuable examples which they furnish of the power of self-help, if patient purpose, resolute working and steadfast integrity, issuing in the formulation of truly noble and many character, exhibit,"wrote Smiles."what it is in the power of each to accomplish for himself"His biographies of James Walt,Richard Arkwright and Josiah Wedgwood were held up as beacons to guide the working man through his difficult life.This was all a bit bourgeois for Thomas Carlyle, who focused his biographies on the truly heroic lives of Martin Luther, Oliver Cromwell and Napoleon Bonaparte.

habits and skills are to be 22in our past experiences,which are broughtsintosthe present23 memory...joxue.JoxueMemory can be defined as the capacity to keep 24 available for later use.It includes not only"remembering"thing like arithmetic or historicalfacts,but also any change in the way an animal typically behaves.Memory is25when a rat gives up eating grain because he has sniffed something suspicious in the grain pile.Memory is also involved when a six year old child learns to swing a baseball bat...joxue.JoxueMemory26not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and

B a stability period..joxue.JoxueC a run. D an oil price decrease...joxue.Joxue32.By July,all hope of a private sector rescue was------...joxue.JoxueA destroyed. B absurd..joxue.JoxueC desperate.

brought down the banking system..joxue.JoxueD fired many high ranking officers...joxue.Joxue34.Banking panics may be prevented by means of------...joxue.JoxueA deposit insurance.B growth strategy..joxue.JoxueC long term borrowing.D warning memo...joxue.JoxueQuestions 35 to 38 are based on the following passage: ..joxue.JoxueIf sustainable petitive advantage depends on workforce skills,American firms have a problem.Human resource management is not traditionally seen as central to the petitive survival of the firm in the United States.Skill acquisition is considered as an individualbor is simply another factor of production to be hired-rented at the lowest possible cost-much as one buys raw materials or equipment...joxue.JoxueThe lack of importance attached to human resource management can be seen in the corporation hierarchy.In an American firm the chief financial officer is almost always second in mand.The post of head of human resource managements is usually a specialized job,off at the edge of the corporate hierarchy.The executive who holds it is neverconsulted on major strategic decisions and has no chance to move up to Chief Executive Officer(CEO).By way of contrast,in Japan the head of human resource managementis central-usually the second most importantexecutive,after the CEO,in the firm s hierarchy...joxue.JoxueWhile American firms often talk about the vast amounts spent on training their work forces,in fact they invest less in the skill of their employees than do the Japanese or German firms.The money they do invest is also morehighly concentrated on professional and managerial employees.And the limited investments that are made in training workers are also much more narrowly focused on the specific skills necessary to do the next job rather than on the basic background skills that make it possible to absorb new technologies...joxue.JoxueAs a result,problems emerge when new breakthrough technologies arrive.If American workers,for example,take much longer to learn how to operate new flexible manufacturing stations than workers in Germany(as theydo),the effective cost of those stations is lower in Germany than it is in the United Stated.More time is required before equipment is up and running at capacity,and the need for extensive retraining generates costs and creates bottlenecks that limit the speed with which new equipment can be employed.The result is a slower pace of technological change.And in the end the skills of the bottom half of the population affect the wages of the top half.If the bottom half can t effectively staff the processes that have to be operated,the management and professional jobs that go with these processes will disappear...joxue.Joxue35.Which of the following applies to the management of human resources in American panies?..joxue.JoxueA.They hire people at the lowest cost regardless of their skills...joxue.JoxueB.They see the gaining of skills as their employees own business...joxue.JoxueC.They attach more importance to workers than to equipment....joxue.JoxueD.They only hire skilled workers because of keen petition...joxue.Joxue36.What is the position of the head of human resource management in an American firm?..joxue.JoxueA.He is one of the most important executives in the firm....joxue.JoxueB.His post is likely to disappear when new technologies are introduced...joxue.JoxueC.He is directly under the chief financial executive...joxue.JoxueD.He has no authority in making important decisions in the firm....joxue.Joxue37.The money most American firms spend in training mainly goes to----...joxue.JoxueA workers who can operate new equipment..joxue.JoxueB technological and managerial staff..joxue.JoxueC workers who lack basic background skills..joxue.JoxueD top executives...joxue.Joxue38.What is the main idea of the passage?..joxue.JoxueA.American firms are different from Japanese and German firms in human resource management...joxue.JoxueB.Extensive retraining is indispensable toeffective human resource man agement...joxue.JoxueC.The head of human resource management must bein the central position in a firm s hierarchy....joxue.JoxueD.The human resource management strategies of American firms affect their petitive capacity.....joxue.JoxueQuestions 39 to 42 are based on the following passage: ..joxue.JoxueInter is a vast work of puters that connects many of the world s businesses,institutions,and individuals.The inter,which means interconnected work of works,links tens of thousands of smaller puter works.These works transmit huge amounts of information in the form of words,images,and sounds. ..joxue.JoxueThe Inter was information on virtually everywork users can search through sources ranging from vast databases to small electronic"bulletin boards ,"where users form discussion groups around mon interests.Much of the Inter s traffic consists of messages sent from one puter user to another.These messages are called electronic mail or e mail.Inter users have electronic addresses that allow them to send and receive e mail.Other uses of thework include obtaining news,joining electronic debates,and playing electronic games.One feature of the Inter,known as the World Wide Web,provides graphics,audio,and video to enhance the information in its documents.These documents cover a vast number of topics...joxue.JoxuePeople usually aess the Inter with a device called a modem.Modems connect puters to the work through telephone lines.Much of the Inter operates through worldwide telephone works of fiber optic cables.These cables contain hair thin strands of glass that carry data as pulses of light.They can transmit thousands of times more data than local phone lines,most of which consist of copper wires...joxue.JoxueThe history of the Inter began in the 1960s.At that time,the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA)of the United States Department of Defense developed a work of puters called ARPA.Originally,ARPA connected only military a nd government puter systems.Its purpose was to make these systems secure in the event of a disaster or was.Soon after the creation of ARPA,universities and other institutionsdeveloped their own puter works.These works eventually were merged with ARPA to form the Inter.By the 1990s,anyone with a puter,modem,and Inter software could link up to the Inter...joxue.JoxueIn the future,the Inter will probably grow more sophisticated as puter technology bees more powerful.Many experts believe the Inter may bee part of a larger work called the information superhighway.This work,still under development,would link puters with telephone panies,cable television stations,and other munication systems.People could bank,shop,watch TV,and perform many other activities through the work...joxue.Joxue39.This passage is about the------of the Inter...joxue.JoxueA future.B general introduction..joxue.JoxueC use.D

Inter can be traced back to fifty years ago...joxue.JoxueC.The purpose of the Inter is to protect the world in the event of war...joxue.JoxueD.ARPA formed the foundation of the Inter nowadays... ..joxue.Joxue41.The Inter enables people to do all the following things EXCEPT----...joxue.JoxueA sending e mail.B obtaining news..joxue.JoxueC exchanging modem.D inter relatedchat(IRC)...joxue.Joxue42.Aording to the last paragraph,in the future------...joxue.JoxueA.in may be hard to predict the development of the Inter...joxue.JoxueB.the Inter will bee an indispensable superhighway...joxue.JoxueC.the Inter will be applied more...joxue.JoxueD.the Inter will bine cable stations...joxue.JoxueQuestions 43 to 46 are based on the following passage: ..joxue.JoxueSex prejudices are based on and justified by the ideology that biology is destiny.Aording to thisideology,basic biological and psychological differences exist between the sexes.These differences require each sex to play a separate role in social life.Women are the weakersexboth physically and emotionally.Thus,they are naturally suited,much more so than men,to the performance of domestic duties .A woman s place,under normal circumstances,is within the protective environment of the home.Nature has determined that women play caretaker roles,such as wife and mother and homemaker.On the other hand,men are best suited to go outsintosthe petitive world of work andpolitics,where serious responsibilities must be takenon.Men are to be the providers;women and children are"dependents."..joxue.JoxueThe ideology also holds that women who wish to work outside the household should naturally fill these jobs that are in line with the special capabilities of their sex.It is thus appropriate for women,not men,to be employed as nurses,social workers,elementary school teachers,household helpers,and clerks and secretaries. ..joxue.JoxueThese positions are simply an extension of women s domestic rmal distinctions between"women s work"and"men s work"in the labor force,aording to theideology,are simply a functional reflection of the basic differences between the sexes...joxue.JoxueFinally,the ideology suggests that nature has worked her will in another significant way.For the human speciesto survive over time,its members must regularlyreproduce.Thus,women must,whether at home or in the labor force,make the most of their physical appearance...joxue.JoxueSo goes the ideology.It is,of course,not true that basic biological and psychological differences between the sexes require each to play sex defined roles in social life.There is ample evidence that sex roles vary from society to society,and those role differences that to exist are largely learned...joxue.JoxueBut to the degree people actually believe that biology is destiny and that nature intended for men and women to make different contributions to society,sex defined roles will be seen as totally aeptable...joxue.Joxue43.Women s place,some people think,is within the protective environment of the home because------...joxue.JoxueA.women can provide better care for the children...joxue.JoxueB.women are too weak to do any agricultural work at all...joxue.JoxueC.women are biologically suited to domestic jobs...joxue.JoxueD.women can not pete with men in any field...joxue.Joxue44.Aording to the author,sex roles------...joxue.JoxueA are socially determined..joxue.JoxueB.are emotionally and physicallydetermined...joxue.JoxueC.can only be determined by what education people take...joxue.JoxueD.are biologically and psychologically determined...joxue.Joxue45.The author points out that the assignments of women s roles in work------...joxue.JoxueA.are determined by what they are better suited to. ..joxue.JoxueB.grow out of their position inside the home...joxue.JoxueC.reflect a basic difference between men and women...joxue.JoxueD.are suitable to them,but not to men...joxue.Joxue46.Which of the following is NOT true aording to the passage?..joxue.JoxueA.The division of sex defined roles is pletely unaeptable....joxue.JoxueB.Women s roles in work are too limited at present....joxue.JoxueC.In one society,men might perform what is considered women s duties by another...joxue.JoxueD.Some of the women s roles in domestic duties can not be taken over by men...joxue.JoxueQuestions 47 to 50 are based on the following passage: ..joxue.JoxueIn a sense,the new protectionism is not protectionism at all,at least not in the traditional sense of theterm.The old protectionism referred only to traderestricting and trade expanding devices,such as thetariff or export subsidy.The new protectionism is much broader than this;it includes interventionssintosforeigntrade but is not limited to them.The new protectionism,in fact,refers to how the whole of government interventionsintosthe private economy affects international trade.The emphasis on trade is still there,thus came the term"protection."But what is new is the realization that virtually all government activities can affectinternational economic relations...joxue.JoxueThe emergence of the new protectionism in the Western world reflects the victory of the interventionist,or welfare economy over the market economy.Jab Tumiler writes,"The old protectionism…coexisted,without any apparent in ___ectual difficulty with the aeptance of the market as a national as well as an international economic distribution mechanism-indeed,protectionists as well as (if not more than)free traders stood for laissez faire(放任政策).Now,as in the 1930s,protectionism is an expression of a profound skepticism as to the ability of the market to distribute resources and ines to societies satisfaction." ..joxue.JoxueIt is precisely this profound skepticism of the market economy that is responsible for the protectionism.In a market economy,economic change of various colors implies redistribution of resources and ines.The same opinion in many munities apparently is that such redistributions often are not proper.There fore,the government intervenes(干涉；干预)to bring about a more desired result...joxue.JoxueThe victory of the welfare state is almost plete in northern Europe.In Sweden ,Norway,Finland,Denmark,and the Netherlands,government intervention in almost all aspects of economic and social life is considered normal.In Great Britain this is only somewhat less true. ___ traditionally has played a very active role in economic life in France and continued to do so.Only West Germany dares to go against the tide towards excessive interventionism in Western Europe.It also happens to be the most suessful Western European economy...joxue.JoxueThe welfare state has made significant progress in the United States as well as in Western Europe.Socialsecurity,unemployment insurance,minimum wage laws,andrent control are by now traditional welfare state elements on the American scene. ..joxue.Joxue47.This passage is primarily concerned with discussing------...joxue.JoxueA.the definition of the new protectionism...joxue.JoxueB.the difference between new and old protectionism. ..joxue.JoxueC.the emergence of the new protectionism in the Western world...joxue.JoxueD.the significance of the welfare state...joxue.Joxue48.Which of the following statements is NOT a characteristic of a welfare state mentioned in this passage?..joxue.JoxueA Free education is available to a child...joxue.JoxueB Laws are made to fix the minimum wage...joxue.JoxueC A jobless person can be insured...joxue.JoxueD There are regulations for rent...joxue.Joxue49.Which of the following inferences istrue,aording to this passage?..joxue.JoxueA.The economy developed faster in welfare states than in non welfare states...joxue.JoxueB.In the 1930s,protectionism began torise...joxue.JoxueC.The new protectionism is so called mainly because it is the latest...joxue.JoxueD. ___ plays a more active role in economic life in Northern Europe than in Great Britain.....joxue.Joxue50.The passage supplies information for answering which of the following questions?..joxue.JoxueA When did the new protectionism arise?..joxue.JoxueB.Why is the new protectionism so popular in northern European countries?...joxue.JoxueC.Does the American government play a more active role in economic life than the British government?...joxue.JoxueD.Why does the government intervene in economic life?...joxue.JoxueSection B..joxue.JoxueDirections:.Read the following passage carefully and then give short answers to the five questions.Write your answers on the Answer Sheet....joxue.JoxueIn a television interview,Mr.Daniel Brummage,President of the International Olympics Committee,is defending his Committee s decision to hold the Games again in four years time...joxue.JoxueEver since the modern Olympic Games began in 1896,they ve had their critics.Every form of petitive activity attracts trouble.But part of the aim of the Games ,when they were first held in ancient Greece,was to discourage war between states by engaging them in a friendlier kind of bat.My Committee and I intend to see that they go on doing this...joxue.JoxueThe spirit of petition in the Games uses up a lot of energy that could be more harmfully employed.In my opinion,it does a lot of good,getting people to forgettheir differences in a munal activity.Any petitor or spectator at the Games or in the Olympic Village will ___ you that the atmosphere of friendship there is unforgettable:as if the world were one big family.And the hostilities that the press always likes to exaggerate,onlyexist in a few quarters.What we suffer from is bad publicity,not had sportsmanship...joxue.JoxueThese Games are the biggest international gathering of any kind in the world.Not only do they bring sportsmen together,but they unite a world public.Isn't this a sufficient reason for continuing then?Of course,a few people are going to use them as an oasion for propaganda(宣传)，but this is no reason why the Games should be canceled.Why should every harmless activity be

(40 points)Text 1Rats and other animals need to be highly attuned to social signals from others so they can identify friends to cooperate with and enemies to avoid. To find out if this extends to non-living beings, Laleh Quinn at the University of California, San Diego, and her colleagues tested whether rats can detect social signals from robotic rats.They housed eight adult rats with two types of robotic rat -one social and one asocial -for four days. The robot rats were quite minimalist, resembling a chunkier version of a computer mouse with wheels to move around and colourful markings.During the experiment, the social robot rat followed the living rats around, played with the same toys, and opened cage doors to let trapped rats escape. Meanwhile, the asocial robot simply moved forwards and backwards and side to side.Next, the researchers trapped the robots in cages and gave the rats the opportunity to release them by pressing a lever. Across 18 trials each, the living rats were 52 per cent more likely on average to set the social robot free than the asocial one. This suggests that the rats perceived the social robot as a genuine social being. They may have bonded more with the social robot because it displayed behaviours like communal exploring and playing. This could lead to the rats better remembering having freed it earlier, and wanting the robot to return the favour when they get trapped, says Quinn. “Rats have been shown to engage in multiple forms of reciprocal help and cooperation, including what is referred to as direct reciprocity -where a rat will help another rat that has previously helped them, "says Quinn.The readiness of the rats to befriend the social robot was surprising given its minimal design. The robot was the same size as a regular rat but resembled a simple plastic box on wheels. "We'd assumed we'd have to give it a moving head and tail, facial features, and put a scent on it to make it smell like a real rat, but that wasn’t necessary,” says Janet Wiles at the University of Queensland inAustralia, who helped with the research.The finding shows how sensitive rats are to social cues, even when they come from basic robots. Similarly, children tend to treat robots as if they are fellow beings, even when they display only simple social signals. "We humans seem to be fascinated by robots, and it turns out other animals are too, "says Wiles.21.Quinn and her colleagues conducted a test to see if rats can_______.A. distinguish a friendly rat from a hostile oneB. pick up social signals from non-living ratsC. attain sociable traits through special trainingD. send out warning messages to their fellows22.What did the asocial robot do during the experiment?A. It played with some toys.B. It set the trapped rats free.C. It moved around alone.D. It followed the social robot.23.According to Quinn, the rats released the social robot because they_______.A. expected it to do the same in returnB. considered that an interesting gameC. wanted to display their intelligenceD. tried to practice a means of escape24,Janet Wiles notes that rats_______.A. respond more to actions than to looksB. differentiate smells better than sizesC. can be scared by a plastic box on wheelsD. can remember other rats' facial features25.It can be learned from the text that rats_______.A. appear to be adaptable to new surroundingsB. are more socially active than other animalsC. are more sensitive to social cues than expectedD. behave differently from children in socializingText 2It is true that CEO pay has gone up---top ones may make 300 times the pay of typical workers on average, and since the mid-1970s,CEO pay for large publicly traded American corporations has, by varying estimates, gone up by about 500%. The typical CEO of a top American corporation now makes about ﹩18.9 million a year.The best model for understanding the growth of CEO pay is that of limited CEO talent in a world where business opportunities for the top firms are growing rapidly. The efforts of America's highest-earning 1% have been one of the more dynamic elements of the global economy. It's not popular to say, but one reason their pay has gone up so much is that CEOs really have upped their game relative to many other workers in the U.S. economy.Today's CEO, at least for major American firms, must have many more skills than simply being able to "run the company." CEOs must have a good sense of financial markets and maybe even how the company should trade in them. They also need better public relations skills than their predecessors, as the costs of even a minor slipup can be significant. Then there's the fact that large。
