Green buildings like this aren't 32 cost-efficient for the investor, but it does produce muchless pollution than that caused by energy 33 through fossil fuels. As solar panels get 34 , the world is likely to see more skyscrapers covered in solar panels, collecting energy much liketrees do. Imagine a world where building the tallest skyscraper wasn't a race of 35 , but ratherone to collect the most solar energy.

Some College Students Are Angry That They Have to Pay to Do Their Homework
A)Digital learning systems now charge students for access codes needed to complete coursework, t ake quizzes, and
tum in homework. As universities go digital, students are complaining of anew hit to their finances that's replacing—and sometimes joining—expensive textbooks: priceyonline access codes that are required to complete coursework and submit assignments.
B)The codes—which typically range in price from MYM80 to MYM155 per course—give students onlineaccess to
systems developed by education companies like McGraw Hill and Pearson. Thesecompanies, which long reaped big profits as textbook publishers, have boasted that their newonline offerings , when pushed to students through universities they partner with, represent thefuture of the industry.
C)But critics say the digital access codes represent the same profit-seeking ethos (观念）of thetextbook business ,
and are even harder for students to opt out of. W压le they could once buysecond-hand textbooks, or share copies with friends, the digital systems are essentially impossible to avoid.
D)"When we talk about the access code we see it as the new face of the textbook monopoly (垄断），a new way to
lock students around this system," said Ethan Senack, the higher educationadvocate for the U.S. Public Interest Research Group, to BuzzFeed News. "Rather than MYM250(for a print textbook) you're paying MYM120,"
said Senack. " B ut because it's all digital it eliminates the used book market and eliminates any sharing and because homework and tests arethrough an access code, it eliminates any ability to opt out. "
E)Sarina Harper, a 19-year-old student at Virginia Tech, was faced with a tough dilemma whenshe first started
college in 2015—pay rent or pay to tum in her chemistry homework. She toldBuzzFeed News that her freshman chemistry class required her to use Connect, a systemprovided by McGraw Hill where students can submit homework, take exams and track theirgrades. But the code to access the program cost MYM120—a big sum for Harper, who hadalready put down MYM450 for textbooks, and had rent day approaching.
F)She decided to wait for her next work-study paycheck, which was typically MYM150-MYM200, topay for the
code. She knew that her chemistry grade may take a dive as a result. "It's abalancing act, "she said. " C an I really afford these access codes now?" She didn't hand in herfI T st two assignments for chemistry, which started her out in the class with a failing grade.
G)The access codes may be another financial headache for students, but for textbook businesses, t hey're the future.
McGraw Hill, which controls 21 %of the higher education market, reportedin March that its digital content sales exceeded print sales for the first time in 2015. Thecompany said that 45% of its MYM140 million revenue in 2015 "was derived from digital products. "
H)A Pearson spokesperson told BuzzFeed News that "digital materials are less expensive and agood investment"
that offer new features, like audio texts, personalized knowledge checks andexpert videos. Its digital course materials save students up to 60% compared to traditionalprinted textbooks, the company added. McGraw Hill didn't respond to a request for comment, b ut its CEO David Levin told the Financial Times in August that "in higher education ,the era ofthe printed textbook is now over. "
I)The textbook industry insists the online systems represent a better deal for students. "Thesedigital products aren't just mechanisms for students to submit homework, they offer all kindsof features, "David Anderson, the
executive director of higher education with the Associationof American Publishers, told BuzzFeed News. "It helps students understand in a way that youcan't do with print homework assignments. "
J)David Hunt, an associate professor in sociology at Augusta University, which has rolled outdigital textbooks across its math and psychology departments, told BuzzFeed News that heunderstands the utility of u sing systems that require access codes. But he doesn't require hisstudents to buy access to a learning program that controls the class assignments. "I try tomake things as inexpensive as possible, "said Hunt, who uses free digital textbooks for hisclasses but designs his own curriculum. "The online systems may make my life a lot easier butl feel like I'm giving up control. The discussions are the things where my expertise can benefitthe students most. "
K)A 20-year-old junior at Georgia Southern University told BuzzFeed News that she normallyspends MYM500-MYM600 on access codes for class. In one case, the professor didn't require students to buy a textbook, just an access code to tum in homework. This year she said she spentMYM900 on access codes to books and programs.
"That's two months of r ent," she said. "Youcan't sell any ofit back. With a traditional textbook you can sell it for MYM30-MYM50 and that helpsto pay for your new semester's books. With an access code, you're out of that money. "
L)Benjamin Wolverton, a 19-year-old student at the University of South Carolina, told BuzzFeedNews that "it's ridiculous that after paying tens of thousands in tuition we have to pay for allthese access codes to do our homework. "Many of the access codes he's purchased havebeen required simply to complete homework or quizzes. "Often it's only 10% of y our grade inclass," he said. "You're paying so much money for something that hardly affects your grade—but if y ou didn't have it, it would affect your grade enough. It would be bad to start out at a Bor C." Wolverton said he spent MYM500 on access codes for digital books and programs thissemester.
M)Harper, a poultry (家禽）science major, is taking chemistry again this year and had to buy anew access code to hand in her homework. She rented her economics and statistics textbooksfor about MYM20 each. But her access codes for homework, which can't be rented or boughtsecond-hand, were her most expensive purchases: MYM120 and MYM85.
N)She still remembers the sting of h er frrst experience skipping an assignment due to the highprices. "We don't really have a missed assignment policy," she said. "If you miss it, you justmiss it. I just got zeros on a couple of frrst assignments. I managed to pull everything back up. B ut as a scared freshman looking at their grades, it's not fun."
36.A student's yearly expenses on access codes may amount to their rent for two months.
37.The online access codes may be seen as a way to tie the students to the digital system.
38.If a student takes a course again, they may have to buy a new access code to submit theirassignments.
39.McGraw Hill accounts for over one-fifth of t he market share of c ollege textbooks.
40.Many traditional textbook publishers are now offering online digital products, which theybelieve will be the
future of t he publishing business.
41.One student complained that they now had to pay for access codes in addition to the hightuition.
42.Digital materials can cost students less than half t he price of t raditional printed books accordingto a publisher.
43.One student decided not to buy her access code until she received the pay for her part-time job.
44.Online systems may deprive teachers of o pportunities to make the best use of th eir expertisefor their students.
45.Digital access codes are criticized because they are profit-driven just like the textbook business. Section C
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and
mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.
For thousands of years, people have known that the best way to understand a concept is toexplain it to someone else. "While we teach, we learn," said Roman philosopher Seneca. Nowscientists are bringing this ancient wisdom up-to-date. They're documenting why teaching is sucha fruitful way to learn, and designing innovative ways for young people to engage in instruction.
Researchers have found that students who sign up to tutor others work harder to understandthe material, recall it more accurately and apply it more effectively. Student teachers score higheron tests than pupils who're learning only for their own sake. But how can children, still learningthemselves, teach others? One answer: They can tutor younger kids, Some studies have found that frrst-bom children are more intelligent than their later-born siblings (兄弟姐妹）. This suggests their higher IQs result from the time they spend teaching their siblings. Now educators are experimenting with ways to apply this model to academic subjects. They engage college undergraduatesto teach computer science to high school students, who in turn instruct middle school students onthe topic.
But the most cutting-edge tool under development is the "teachable agent"—a computerizedcharacter who learns, tries, makes mistakes and asks q uestions just like a real-world pupil. Computer scientists have created an animated (动画的）figure called Betty's Brain, who has been "taught" about environmental science by hundreds of middle school students. Student teachers aremotivated to help Betty master certain materials. W压le preparing to teach, they organize theirknowledge and improve their own understanding. And as they explain the information to it, theyidentify problems in their own thinking.
Feedback from the teachable agents further enhances the tutors'learning. The agents'questions compel student tutors to think and explain the materials in different ways, and watching theagent solve problems allows them to see their knowledge put into action.
Above all, it's the emotions one experiences in teaching that facilitate learning. Student tutorsfeel upset when their teachable agents fail, but happy when these virtual pupils succeed as theyderive pride and satisfaction from someone else's accomplishment.
46.What are researchers rediscovering through their studies?
A)Seneca's thinking is still applicable today.
B)Better learners will become better teachers.
C)Human intelligence tends to grow with age.
D)Philosophical thinking improves instruction.
47.What do we learn about Betty's Brain?
A)It is a character in a popular animation.
B)It is a teaching tool under development.
C)It is a cutting-edge app in digital games.
D)It is a tutor for computer science students.
48.How does teaching others benefit student tutors?
A)It makes them aware of what they are strong at.
B)It motivates them to try novel ways of teaching.
C)It helps them learn their academic subjects better.
D)It enables them to better understand their teachers.
49.What do students do to teach their teachable agents?
A)They motivate them to think independently.
B)They ask them to design their own q uestions.
C)They encourage them to give prompt feedback.D)They use various ways to explain the materials.50.What is the key factor that eases student tutors'learning?eir emotlonal involvement.A)Their sense of responsibility.B)Th· C)The learning strategy acquired.D) Passage Two Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.
The teaching expenence gained.
A new batch of young women —members of the so-called Millennial (千禧的）generation —has been entering the workforce for the past decade. At the starting line of their careers, they arebetter educated than their mothers and grandmothers had been —or than their young male counterparts are now. But when they look ahead, they see roadblocks to their success. They believe thatwomen are paid less than men for doing the same job. They think it's easier for men to get topexecutive jobs than it is for them. And they assume that if and when they have children, it
wi且beeven harder for them to advance in their careers.
While the public sees greater workplace equality between men and women now than it did 20-30 years ago, most believe more change is needed. Among Millennial women, 75% say this country needs to continue making changes to achieve gender equality in the workplace, compared with57% of Millennial men. Even so, relatively few young women (15%) say they have been discriminated against at work because of their gender.
As Millennial women come of age they share many of the same views and values about workas their male counterparts. They want jobs that provide security and flexibility, and they placerelatively little importance on high pay. At the same time, however, young working women are lesslikely than men to aim at top management jobs: 34% say they're not interested in becoming a bossor top manager; only 24% of young men say the same. The gender gap on this question is evenwider among working adults in their 30s and 40s, when many women face the trade-offs that gowith work and motherhood. These findings are based on a new Pew Research Center survey of 2 , 002 adults, including 8 l OMillennials (ages 18-32), conducted Oct. 7-27, 2013. The survey finds that, in spite of the dramatic gains women have made in educational attainment and labor force participation in recentdecades , young women view this as a man's world —j ust
as middle-aged and older women do. 51.What do we learn from the frrst paragraph about Millennial women starting their careers?
A)They can get ahead only by striving harder.
B)They expect to succeed just like Millennial men.C)They are generally quite optimistic about their future.D)They are better educated than their male counterparts.52.How do most Millennial women feel about their treatment in the workplace?
A)They are the target of discrimination.B)They find it satisfactory on the whole.
C)They think it needs further improving.D)They find their complaints ignored.
53.What do Millennial women value most when coming of age?A)A sense of accomplishment.B)Job stability and flexibility.C)Rewards and promotions.D)Joy derived from work.54.What are women in their 30s and 40s concerned about?A)The welfare of their children.B)The narrowing of the gender gap.
C)The fulfillment of their dreams in life.D)The balance between work and family.
55.What conclusion can be drawn about Millennial women from the 2013 survey?
A)They still view this world as one dominated by males.
B)They account for half the workforce in the j ob market.
C)They see the world differently from older g enerations.
D)They do better in work than their male counte rp arts.

The Importance of Speaking Ability and How to Develop It There are times when we speak in front of a large audience or a small group. Usually it is during those moments that we are overwhelmingly aware of the importance of speaking ability.
There is no denying the fact that people who have considerable ability in speaking have an edge over those who don't. For instance, during a job interview, applicants with remarkable speaking ability tend to be more attractive to interviewers and thus stand a better chance of landing the job. Another example is that businessmen who are good at speaking are more likely to succeed in making deals with their clients.
To develop our speaking ability, a wide range of measures can be taken. First of all ,we should learn to speak with confidence, believing in what we say instead of turning to audience fo r validation. In addition, it is wise to know your audience an d adjust your wording accordingly. Lastly, read as much as possible to expand your scope of knowledge and make what you say interesting. 范文译文
有时我们需要在大批听众或一小群人面前讲话。

通常，在这些时刻，我们会强烈意识到口语能力的重要性。

不可否认，口语能力优秀的人比没有口语能力的人更有优势。

例如，在面试中，有出色口语能力的求职者往往会对面试官更有吸引力，从而有更大的机会得到这份工作。

另一个例子是善于说话的商人更有可能成功地与他们的客户达成交易。

为了培养我们的口语能力，我们可以采取多种措施。

首先，我们应该学会自信地说话，相信我们所说的，而不是向听众寻求认可。

此外，明智的做法是了解你的听众，并相应地调整措辞。

When the tower was first (26) in 1962 ,it was covered with thin squar e stones. These small square stones became a problem for the building and continued to fall off the face for 40 years until a major renovation was (27) .During this renovation the building's owners ,CIS ,(28) the solar panel company, Solarcentury.

A vertical solar project on such a large (30)has never been repeated since.
曼彻斯特米勒大街上的一座办公大厦被太阳能电池板完全覆盖着。

它们（这些太阳能电池板）是用来为大厦中的保险公司提供一部分能源。

大厦在1962年刚刚(26)建造时，表面铺满了薄薄的方形石块。

这些小石块变成了大厦一大难题，40年来不断从其表面掉落直到大厦(27)进行了一次大规模翻新。

在翻新的过程中，大厦业主英国合作保险公司(CIS)(28)登迥了太阳能电池板公司太阳能世纪(Solarcent u ry)。

他们达成协议，用太阳能电池板覆盖整座大厦。

2004年，完工后的CIS大厦成了欧洲最大的垂直太阳能电池板(29)陈列。

自那以来，这么大(30)规模的垂订太阳能项目再没有过。

Covering a skyscraper with solar panels had never been done before ,and the CIS tower was chosen as one of the "10 best green energy projects". For a long time after t比s renovation project, it was the tallest building in the United Kingdom, but it was (31) overtaken by the Millbank Tower.
用太阳能电池板覆盖一座摩天大厦是一件前所未有的事情，并且英国合作保险公司(CIS)大厦被选为"10大最佳绿色能源项目”之一。

在翻新工程完成后的很长一段时间里，它都是英国最高的建筑，但是(31)最后被米尔班克大厦超越。

Green buildings like this aren't (32) cost-efficient for the investor, but it does produce much less pollution than that caused by energy (33) through fossil fuels. As solar panels get (34) ,the world is likely to see more skyscrapers covered in solar pan e ls, collecting energy much like trees do.

像这样的绿色建筑并不(32)二定能为投资人省钱，但它产生的污染物确实比通过化石燃料(33)生产能源所造成的污染少得多。

随着太阳能电池板变得(34)越来越便宜，世界上很可能会出现更多的被太阳能电池板覆盖的摩天大厦，就像树木那样收集能晕。

想象一下这样的世界，建造最高的摩天大厦将不再是一场(35)匾度竞赛，而是看谁能收集最多的太阳能。

26.E) cons血cted。

D)competed, E) cons皿cted, F) consulted, H) discovered和0)undertaken入选。

【语意分析】句中提到一开始大厦的表面铺满了薄薄的方形石块，且下文中提到40年之后对其进行了翻新(renovation), 大厦被太阳能电池板完全覆盖。

由此可知，1962年是大厦刚被建造的时间，故答案为E) cons血cted(建造，构筑）。

D)competed (竞争，比赛，竞赛），F)consulted (咨询，请教；商噩，商议）和O) undertaken(着手做，从事，承担）与语义不符，故排除。

H)discov ered (发现，找到，发觉）指初次看见本来已
存在但以前未被发现的事物，而文中所指的这座大厦是一直被人们所使用的办公楼，故也排除。

27. 0) unde rtak en。

动词辨析
【语法分析】空前从旬的主语a major renovation,以及动词w as和空后的旬号提示，本空应填过去分词，构成被动结构。

强干扰项G)dimension (尺寸，长＜或宽、厚、深>)J)
h ei gh t(高度；身高），M)range(幅度，范围）和N)scale(大小）分别指物体具体的参数，并不能体现数最的
多少，故均排除。

30. N)scal e。

名词辨析
【语法分析】空前的a large和空后的谓语成分h as never b een repeated提示，本空应填单数名词。

【语意分析】结合上一旬中became Europe's largest... 和本旬中的h as never b een…since可确定，本空所填词与第29题答案相互照应。

所填词形容空前的project,而这里的project是指上文的cover the entire building in solar panels 故在此说的是这一工程的规模，故答案为N)scale(大小，规模）。

on a large scale为固定搭配，意为“大规模”。

强干扰项G)dimension (尺寸，长＜或宽、厚、深＞）和J)h ei gh t(高度；身高）均指某一方面，但不指整休，可以用cover直接排除。

M)range(幅度，范围）指的是一个可以测最的范围，在这个范围内包括一系列可变化的数量，与语义不符，故排除。

31.I) event ually。

副词辨析

【语意分析】but之前的句子为否定旬式，而之后为肯定旬式则出现了表示强调的动词does,以此强调绿色建筑的核心优势。

由此可知，本旬暗含某种让步关系。

K)necessarily(必定地，必然地；必要地，必需地）符合语义，故为答案。

33.L) production。

名词辨析
【语法分析】空前的caus ed by, 名词energy和空后的介词t hr ough提示，本空应填名词，与energy一起连用后表示造成污染的原因，故故B)cleaner, G) dimension ,J) height, L) production和M)range入选。

【语意分析】该旬是在对比太阳能和化石燃料所产生的能量的优劣势，energy production (能量供应）符合语义，故答案为L)production (生产，制造）。

形容词辨析
【语法分析】空前的系动词get和空后表示比较关系的more提示，本空应填形容词的比较级，故A) cheaper和B)cleaner入选。

【语意分析】上文中提到用太阳能电池板覆盖建筑可以减少污染，但不一定能为投资人省钱，言外之意即绿色建筑的成本依然很高，而空后又提到世界上很可能会出现更多覆盖太阳能电池板的摩天大厦，发生这种可能的条件只能是成本变低，故答案为A)cheaper(更便宜的，更廉价的）。

B)cleaner(更清洁的，更干净的）明显与语义不符，故排除。

35.J) height。
