AI’ve been in the taxicab business for thirty-five years, and I know there is a lot about it that is not so good. Taxicab drivers have to be tough fellows to be able to work in New York. You’ve got to fight t he New York traffic eight hours a day these days, so people get the wrong impression that they are bad.Actually, taxi drivers are just like other people. Most of them will behave as honest fellows. You read in the papers almost every week that a taxi driver turns in money or jewels that people leave in their cabs. If they weren’t honest, you wouldn’t be reading those stories in the papers.One time in Brooklyn, I found a diamond ring in my cab. I remembered helping a lady with a lot of packages that day, so I went back to where I had dropped her. It took me almost two days to trace her down in order to return her ring to her. I didn’t get as much as “thank you”. Still I felt good because I had done what was right. I think I felt better than she did.I was born and raised in Ireland and lived there until I was nineteen years old. Then I came to this country where I had a family and bought my own cab. Life hasn’t been too easy at times, but my wife takes care of our money and we have a good bit put away for a rainy day.When I started driving a cab, Park Avenue was mostly a bunch of coal yards. Hoofer’s Brewery was right next to where the Waldorf-Astoria is now. I did pretty well, even in those days. In all my years of driving a taxicab, I have never had any trouble with the public, not even with drunks.I believe honesty is one of the greatest gifts. I know they call it a lot of fancy names these days, like integrity (正直), etc. But it doesn’t make any difference what they call it; it’s still what makes a man a good citizen. This is my code, and I try to live by.21. Why do people think taxicab drivers are bad according to the passage?A. They have been cheated by taxicab drivers before.B. Taxicab drivers are dishonest.C. Most taxicab drivers are tough fellows.D. Some taxicab drivers did not return their lost properties.22. How did the author return the diamond ring to the lady?A. By giving her a call and visiting her.B. By sending her a letter asking her to claim the ring in person.C. By advertising in the papers.D. By going back to where she got off and traced her down for almost 2 days.23. The underlined phrase “a rainy day” in paragraph 4 refer s to ______.A. a day when it rainsB. a time when a family has financial problemsC. a day when the author c an’t drive a taxiD. a time when the author has trouble with drunks24. How does the author feel as a taxicab driver?A. Proud and satisfied.B. Annoyed and stressful.C. Disappointed and discouraged.D. Unwilling and regretful.BWorking women make up nearly half of the U.S. workforce, and 51 percent of professional workers, like doctors, lawyers, nurses and accountants, are female. While climbing the career ladder can be rewarding, it often es with one big downside: weight gain!New research published this week in the International Journal of Obesity shows that working women are more likely to be overweight, and the more you work, the more pounds you’re likely to pile on. Like many women, I work... a lot! As a self-employed nutrition munications specialist, I sit at my desk, in front of a puter, for hours on end. Sitting alone is one of the worst things you can do for your health, and it’s directly linked to being overweight and increased fatness, so the fact that women in the workforce gai n weight isn’t that surprising. If you work, you have less time to move around. Obesity(肥胖症)researchers are revealing many other ways that employment is harmful to your diet and waistline.In the International Journal of Obesity study, some 9,276 Australian women aged 45-50 had their body weight and employment status monitored for two years. Results? Those who worked more than 35 hours were likely to gain weight pared to those who worked fewer hours or were out of the workforce. What’s more, the more hours a woman worked in a week, the more weight she gained.The authors of the Australian study attribute weight gain among working women to inactivity, lack of time for food preparation, more use of prepared foods, high levels of stress, lack of sleep and cons uming more alcohol. I’ll also add in travel, meals eaten out and working at night as other factors that I can find to make balancing work with a healthy diet a challenge.25. The text above is probably taken from ______.A. a sports reportB. a fashion journalC. a health and fitness magazineD. an advertisement post26. A woman who works as an accountant is more likely to ______.A. gain more weightB. have more time to move aroundC. work a full time jobD. keep a balanced diet27. Which is NOT the cause of working women weight gaining according to the passage?A. Lacking time for food preparation.B. Using more prepared food.C. Consuming too much alcohol.D. Taking part in more activities.28. What can be a suitable title for the test?A. Less activity leads to fat.B. Ways of gaining weight.C. Effects of weight gaining.D. Working women more likely pile on pounds.CThere’s a “culture of walking and texting” on the Utah Valley University campus, according to conversations with stu dents, but that’s not the main reason Matt Bambrough, the creative director at UVU, came up with an idea to paint a “texting lane” on a staircase leading up to the Wellness Center.According to Bambrough, it’s first and foremost a design project—the texting lane was a tongue-in-cheek(戏谑)reference to the college-wide epidemic(流行)of kids walking around with their faces buried in their iPhones.“You have 18–24-year-olds walking down the hall with smart phones. Y ou’re almost bound to run into someone somewhere; it’s something we’re dealing with in this day and age,” Bambrough said. “But preventing collisions isn’t the reason we did it—we did it to arouse the students’ attention. It’s meant to be there for people to look at and enjoy.”Still, when talking to Utah Valley students, it sounds like texting and walking can be quite the annoyance.Robbie Poffenberger, an assistant news editor at the UVU Review, said that most collisions he witnesses aren’t human-on-human; rather, it’s generally human-on-inanimate-object. “They walk into barriers—chairs on the side of the hallway, or railings,” Poffenberger said, “I’m sure they’re fairly embarrassed.”29. What do we learn about the “texting lane” from the text?A. It is a special campus culture in Utah Valley University.B. It is used to encourage the campus culture.C. It is painted on a staircase leading to everywhere.D. It is popular with students in universities.30. According to Bambrough, ______.A. the “texting lane” is to attract students’ attentionB. w e don’t have to face the problem in this ageC. what they did is to prevent the collisionsD. students enjoy looking at each other31. How do students feel about texting and walking?A. They are worried.B. They are annoyed.C. They are puzzled.D. They are surprised.32. What would most students run into from what Robbie said?A. Students in the same direction.B. Teachers opposite to them.C. Barriers on campus.D. Grass on campus.DAt Bristol Zoo Gardens you can enjoy an amazing world of animals, all within our award-winning 12 acre gardens. With over 400 species and nine animals houses under cover, it’s one of the best days out in Bristol whatever the weather.

Towns and roads in Pennsylvania overtaken by floodwater. These dramatic scenes made 31 in September 2021. As many as 40.5 million people have already been 32 by the effects of the climate crisis. Rising sea levels, along with extreme flooding, are putting more and more coastal residents and others at risk. By 2050, more than 1 billion people will live in countries that lack the basic systems and services to 33 sea-level rise, according to the Institute for Economics and Peace. And all these climate refugees will need to seek out new homes on dry land.One solution architects and others have been exploring with more urgency in recent years is to build floating cities. In 2019, the United Nations brought together a group of innovators. scientists, and marine engineers to discuss the future of 35 sea-based communities. “As our climate and water ecosystems are changing, the way our cities retake to water needs to change, too,” said U.N. Deputy Secretary-General Amina J.Mohammed. “Floating cities are a means of ensuring climate adaption, as buildings can rise along with the sea.”These cities can be designed as climate 36 .They can take advantage of plentiful wind and water power for electricity, and grow food using hydroponics(水耕法). “From traditional houseboat communities to high-tech experiments,there are many examples to learn from,” she added.Some of these experimental floating cities are already in development. Another planned community that's attracting a lot of attention is Oceanix City, which is 37 to have one-third of its 118 islands below sea level within 60 years.Plans for Oceanix City 38 groups of hexagon-shaped(六边形)islands powered by solar and water energy.

Reading ComprehensionSection 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.Imagine sitting inside a windowless train that’s shooting through a tube at twice the speed of an airplane. Your train has no wheels, produces no 41 , makes its own electricity, and isn’t affected by bad weather. This is the hyperloop, a new vision for the world's 42 , safest, and greenest form of transportation. Many have 43 this new technology, but others say the hyper loop vision is just a bunch of hot air.Hyperloop developers plan to use the properties of magnets to float, stabilize, and drive the capsules or pods for hundreds of mites through 44 tubes. Without air orground to slow down the vehicles, what was once a five-hour journey would become a half-hour excursion, engineers promise.Supporters of the technology promote additional 45 of transporting passengers and cargo by hyperloop. For example, they firmly state that unlike other city-to-city transport that's 46 , such as planes or trains, hyperloop vehicles would leave as needed, like Ubers and taxis. While the 47 would hold only 28 to 50 passengers each, developers plan for them to depart stations in groups every minute or so which they say could amount to shuttling 50,000 people an hour. That’s more than twice the passenger 48 of the world's fastest trains.Developers also say that hyperloop tubes would be 49 so they wouldn't interfere with other traffic or threaten wildlife. And tubes would be covered with solar panels to power the hyperloop's systems. 50 , advocates regard the hyperloop as the transportation choice for the future.But not everyone is on board. Engineers have calculated that the high-speed vehicles will need to make much wider turns than currently envisioned, and otherwise they won’t be 51 for passengers. This would add several miles to the proposed tube tracks, Engineers also say planners haven't included enough time for vehicles to safely brake and take off at stations. Some engineers believe it will take much longer than claimed to pump the 52 out of the tubes before each vehicle’s departure. Critics thus say hyperloops can't go as fast or serve as many passengers per hour as advertised, making them 53 existing high-speed transportation options.Hyperloop companies say they're 54 these concerns. They claim that they can safely maintain high speeds by having the vehicles bank around the turns as a plane does. And their hyperloops will rely on the split-second reaction times of a computer to 55 vehicles quickly, frequently, and safely.41.A. pollution B. sound C. energy D. wind42.A. cleanest B. lightest C. latest D. fastest43. adapted B. explored C. embraced D. developed44. totally hollow B. nearly airless C. steadily narrow D. highly flexible45. advantages B. costs C. qualities D. situations46.A. in constant demands B. on strict timetablesC. in changeableD. on essential services47.A. cabins B. lorries C. tubes D. vehicles48.A. fare B. capacity C. speed D. comfort49.A. underground B. parallel C. elevated D. shared50.A.

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 just read.(A)Frida Kahlo was one of the most influential Latin American figures of the 20th century. As the daughter of a German father and a Mexican mother, she was born on July 6, 1907. She grew up in Coyoacan, on the outskirts of Mexico City.When she was seven, a viral disease called polio made her very sick, weakening the muscles in her right leg. While in school. Kahlo witnessed a number of bloody struggles between armed groups in Mexico City during the Mexican Revolution. It was essentially a fight for better living conditions for the disadvantaged. Because of her experiences in Mexico City, Kahlo became a strong supporter of peasants' rights. Later, in 1925, she was in a bus accident that broke her backbone, dislocated her shoulder, and caused other terrible injuries.To relieve the boredom of recovery and to help deal with the pain and sadness of the accident, he began to paint. In her paintings, Kahlo really explored her identity. Her Work deals wither status as a woman, her mixed ancestry, her turbulent marriage to Mexican communist painter Diego Rivera, the pain of her injuries, and her commitment to revolutionary politics. Many people consider her paintings examples of surrealism, since much of what she painted was fantastical, but Kahlo never considered herself a surrealist. Kahlo's work is unique because she took the bright colors and dramatic symbolism of Mexican culture and combined them with traditions from European art.In the most famous painting called "Two Fridas," she paints two versions of herself, one in traditional Mexican clothes and another in European clothes of an earlier century. A vein (静脉)connects the hearts of the two women, and blood is dripping out from one end. This was painted just after she and Rivera got divorced.If you look closely.you can see that the Mexican Kahlo holds a portrait of Rivera. Symbols such as the exposed hearts and stormy sky suggest the pain that Kahlo felt.Check out how one of the hearts is broken. and the other one's whole. She seems to be suggesting that Rivera only loved the Mexican part of hers.In a lot of ways, Kahlo had an unhappy life. She died when she was only 47 years old. Her art is filled with sadness, but it also expresses pride in her Mexican heritage and the joy of being a woman.56. What led Kahlo to support the rights of poor laborers?A.The fact that her father was a German migrant laborer.B.The time she spent working as a laborer during the 1920s.C.Her marriage to the Mexican nationalist painter Diego Rivera.D.Her experiences in Mexico City during the Mexican Revolution.57. Place the following events in time order: ①Kahlowas hurt in a bus accident; ②Kahlowitnessed the Mexican Revolution; ③Kahlobegan painting.A.①②③B. ②①③C. ②③①D. ③①②58. The underlined word "turbulent" in Paragraph 3 most probably means ______.A.artistically well-matchedB.fantastic and extremely lovingC.filled with dramatic ups and downsD.very politically conscious59. How were Frida Kahlo's paintings similar to those of the surrealists?A.They both focused on gender identity.B.They both promoted socialist politics.C.They both contained dreamlike imageryD.They both combined Mexican and European art.(B)Aussie Walkabout ExperienceGo behind the scenes at Auckland Zoo and come eye to eye with some of our Australian neighbors.

Which of the following is true according to the brochure?A.There is a free car park for visitors to the zoo.tecomers will be granted entry to the next tour.C.A minimum of four people are permitted on each tour.D.The tour takes place when the zoo is closed to the public(C)A few years ago, Charles Barkley got into a lot of trouble for making the observation that sports figures didn't need to be role models. Thousands of fans and professional journalists were cross at this attack on the fundamental principle that the person who jumps. highest must aim highest. and the person who handles the running back must also be able to deal with life's problems with grace as well.The problem is not that we look to these people for perfection when they take off their uniforms. It's that we expect anyone to be our representatives for perfection. That's stupid and it makes the rest of us down here lazy.I get the importance of having heroes, the people who inspire us to cultivate the best potential within us and nurture our better angels. I personally have many heroes, from my mother,Lucy,to my favorite law professor,Howard.But these are personal contacts, people who have-actually touched my hand and my heart, and who occupy a pedestal(基座)built of my own experiences and aspirations. To look at an athlete or an actress with high salary and demand that he or she match our dreams is not only a waste of time,but it's dangerous. The danger comes in how this type of hero worship dehumanizes both the object of affection and the person who blindly adores.That was Barkley's point,not that we should give public figures a pass for being faulty but that we shouldn't abandon ourown moral compasses and look to them for true north.Recently on a television program I participated in, the discussion turned to Kathleen Kane. Someone suggested that the fact that the first female attorney genera(l首席检察官)in Pennsylvania was really messing things up could have unfortunate consequences for women seeking elected office. I offered the opinion that Kane was unquestionably criticized and that it was not hatred towards woman but incompetence at the root of the attacks. After the show aired, I had people emailing to tell me that I was either a traitor(叛徒)for publicly attacking a fellow female when we need to stand together behind this "role model", or a fool for not going a step further to say that this incompetent lawyer had made it harder for all women to move to the next level.How depressing! Why should the inferior performance of one woman lead to such diverse but passionate views in people? The answer is obvious: Kane has stopped being anattorney general but has instead become The First Female Attorney General. She can't just make a mistake and pay the normal consequences.If we stopped trying to live our lives through the accomplishments of public figures, many of whom look and sound like us, we'd learn how to recognize the heroic character of those we might actually know, and the heroic potential within ourselves. Or, perhaps, the honesty to accept our ordinary humanity.63. Many people were angry with Charles Barkley mainly because ____________.A.he broke fundamental principles in lifeB.he was not good enough to be a role modelC.he doubted the perfection of some sports figuresD.he thought sports figures could have weaknesses64. According to Barkley, why is it dangerous to take public figures as heroes?A.Because we may let go of our own moral standards.B.Because an athlete or actress cannot match our dreams.C.Because we blindly admire public figures for their faults.D.Because we shouldn't waste time imitating public figures.65.From the passage we can infer that Kathleen Kane was _______.A.unfairly criticized due to being femaleB.the first female attorney general in the USC.less qualified than the public had expectedD.a role model for women seeking elected office66. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A.Be Our Representatives for PerfectionB.Exploration of Our Own Heroic PotentialC.Our Unrealistic Expectation of Public FiguresD.Our Conventional Views of Female PoliticianSection CDirections: Read the following passages. 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.There is enough evidence to support the motivational benefits that result from carefullymatching people to jobs.B.For those whose jobs are secure, pay increases are rarely possible.C.High achievers are motivated by jobs that are high in independence and responsibility.D.Unfortunately, they are the ones the organization can least afford to lose—those with the highest skills and experience.E.The answer to that depends on perceptions of goal acceptance and the organization's culture.F.Managers must be sure, therefore, that employees feel confident that their efforts can lead toperformance goals.Motivating Employees under Unfavourable ConditionsIt is a great deal easier to motivate employees in a growing organization than a declining one. When organizations are expanding, promotional opportunities, pay rises, and the excitement of being associated with a dynamic organization create feelings of o ptimism. When an organization is shrinking,the best a nd mobile workers are likely to leave voluntarily. 67 The minor employees remain because their job options are limited. Morale(士气)also suffers during decline.People fear they may be the next to be made unnecessary.Productivity often Suffers,as employees spend their time sharing rumors and providing one another with moral support rather than focusing on their jobs.68 Pay cuts, unheard of during times of growth, may even be imposed. Thechallenge to management is how to motivate employees under such special conditions.69 For example, if the job is running a small business or an autonomous unitwithin a larger business, high achievers should be sought. High achievers will do best when the job provides moderately challenging goats and where there is independence and feedback.The literature on goal-setting theory suggests that managers should ensure that all employees have specific goals and receive comments on how well they are doing in those goals. Regardless of whether goals are achievable or well within management's perceptions of the employee's ability, if employees see them as unachievable they will reduce their effort. 70Since employees have different needs, managers should use their knowledge of each employee to personalize the rewards over which they have control. Some of the more obvious rewards that managers allocate include pay, promotions and the opportunity to participate in goal-setting and decision-making.IV. Summary Writing71.Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of thepassage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Can Birdsong Make You Happier?If you are able to step outside and hear many types of birds, you might also have a greater feeling of well-being. Two studies show that hearing diverse birdsongs may help increase our happiness.One study was done by the researchers at California Polytechnic State University.The team studied the effects of birdsong on people walking through a park in the U.S.state of Colorado. Danielle Ferraro, who led the Cal Poly study, says that there could be an evolutionary reason why we like birdsong. The idea is that when we hear birdsong it could signal safety to us. There could be many other reasons too Ferraro states that in some areas around the world birdsong can also signal the arrival of spring and nice weather. Bird diversity, she adds, can also mean a healthy environment.Similarly, scientists in Germany examined for the first time whether a diverse nature also increases human well-being across Europe. The researchers looked at the European Quality of Life Survey to study the connection between the different kinds of birds in their surroundings and life satisfaction. They looked at more than 26,000 adults from 26 European countries. "Europeans are particularly satisfied with their lives if their surroundings have a high species diversity," explains the study's lead author, Joel Methorst, a researcher at the Goethe University in Frankfurt. He and his team found that the happiest Europeans are those who can experience many different kinds of birds in their daily life, or who live in near-natural surroundings that are home to many species.11So, if birdsong is good for our mental health, how can we increase the different types of birdsongs we hear? Scientists also mentioned, "We would recommend planting native trees and flowers because we have a lot of pretty decorative plants in our cities. And they might look nice to us, but birds can't necessarily use them. So, we think it important to have species that are native to the area to increase bird diversity."V.

When he was out, the other frogs said, "Didn't you hear us?" The frog explained to them that 22 was wrong with his hearing. He thought they were encouraging him 23 whole time.There is power of life and death in the tongue. An encouraging word to someone 24is down can lift him or her up and help them make it 25 the day, while bad words can rob another of the spirit to go on in difficult times. Be careful of what you say.II. 阅读(共两节,满分50分)第一节阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AMark and his brother Jason both were looking at the shining new puter enviously. Jason was determined not to go against their father’s wishes but Mark was more adventurous than his brother. He loves experimenting and his aim was to bee a scientist like his father.“Dad will be really mad if he finds out you’ve been playing with his new puter” Jason said, “He told us not to touch it.”“He won’t find out,” Mark said, “I’ll just have a quick look and shut it down.”Mark had been scolded before for touching his father’s equipment. But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new puter really puzzled him.It was a strange-looking machine —one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked. “It’s an experimental model,” his father had explained, so don’t touch it under any circumstances.” But his father’s warning only served to make Mark more curiou s. Without any further thought, Mark turned on the power switch. The puter burst into life and seconds later, the screen turned into colours, shifting and changing, and then two big white words appeared in the centre of the screen: “SPACE TRANSPORTER.”“Yes!” Mark cried excitedly, “It’s a puter game. I knew it! Dad’s only been pretending to work. He’s really been playing games instead!” A new message appeared on the screen:“ENTER NAMESVOYAGE1VOYAGE2Mark’s finger flew across the keyboard a s he typed in both of their names.“INPUT ACCEPTED.START TRANSPORT PROGRAM.AUTO-RETRIEVE INITIATED(自动回收程序已启动).”The screen turn even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume.“I think we’d better shut it off, Mark,” Jason yel led out in terror, reaching for the power switch. A beam(光束) of dazzling white light burst out of the puter screen, wrapping the boys inits glow(光芒),until they themselves seemed to be glowing. Then it died down just as suddenly as it had burst into life. And the boys were no longer there. On the screen, the letters changed:“TRANSPORT SUCCESSFUL.DESTINATION: MARS.RETRIEVE DATE: 202526.

What happened to the boys at the end of the story?A. They were blown into the air.B. They were sent to another planet.C. They were hidden in the strong light.D. They were carried away to another country.BIn the US and Britain, the slogan around colleges was “Save water. Shower with a friend.” Now, Wuhan University has e up with another system for the campus bathhouse. It charges students for the amount of time in a shower. Before entering the bathhouse, students pay for the amount of time they want in the shower with cash or their student ID card. The clock starts ticking the minute the tape is turned on. It pauses when a button is pressed for soap. An integrated circuit (IC) card reader at each tap shows the time. No money, no water. The benefits of the new system can be seen with the old system, which charged 1 Yuan for each personregardless of time in the shower. The university used about 320 tons of water daily under the old system, but only 160 tons now.Many students use the new system but opinions on it are divided. Some students say it is bad because bathing had bee a sort of race. Many people using it for the first time are not sure how long they need to shower. Some might be embarrassed if their time is up and they’re still covered in soap. They have to ask the bathhouse worker to help them buy extra time.“It’s a flaw in the system that you can not buy extra time on the ID card,” said Ren, a freshman in Wuhan University. The university is also considering some students’ suggestions that t hey be allowed to pay after they’ve finished the shower. Not surprisingly, some are plaining about losing the hour shower. But many students say the move helps them develop awater-saving sense.Without the time limits, most students tended to shower for 30 to an hour in the bathhouse.Some even used the hot water to wash their clothes. “In my experience, 10—20 minutes is enough,” said Dai Zhihua, a third-year student who usually takes 8 minutes.A similar system has been installed in other universities. Shanghai Normal University introduced it at its Fengxiang Campus in September. The bathing fee there is 0.2 Yuan per minute. One male student responded by setting a record with a two-minute shower.31. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. Students buy the time of their showers.B. The clock times the student’s bathing except when the bather pauses for soap.C. If money runs out, there will be no water.D. Having finished bathing, the student has to pay for it.32. The underline word “flaw” (Paragraph 3) most probably means __________.A. faultB. advantageC. pityD. perfection33. Since the new system has performed, __________ of water can be saved.A. a quarterB. one thirdC. one half D.two thirds34. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.A. t he new operation can raise students’ environmental awarenessB. the new operation can solve the water crisisC. a similar operation has been set in other universitiesD. the university has saved a lot of water by using the new system35. In which column can you find this passage?A. Culture.B. Society.C. Campus Life.D. Lifestyle.CWhen times get tough, we all look for ways to cut back. When we’re hungry, we eat at home instead of going out. We take buses instead of taxis. And we wear our old designer jeans just a few months longer. With college expenses at all-time highs, high school students are eager to do anything to cut the cost of a university education.One cost-cutting proposal is to allow college students to get a bachelor’s degree in three years instead of four. Educational institutions have been actively exploring ways to make the learning process more efficient. But there’s a question: Would the quality of undergraduate(本科生)education suffer? Few US universities have formally approved a “three-year degree” model.I doubt that mainstream North American colleges will carry out a three-year curriculum(课程) any time soon. For one thing, most universities already allow highly qualified students to graduate early by testing out of certain classes and obtaining a number of college credits(学分). In addition, at famous universities, the mittee who determine which courses are required and which courses are electives are unlikely to suddenly “throw out” one quarter of the required credits. Professors will resist “diluting(稀释)” the quality of the education they offer.In my opinion, a quality four-year education is always superior to a quality three-year education. A college education requires sufficient time for a student to bee skilled in their major and do coursework in fields outside their major. It is not a good idea to water down education, any more than it’s not a good idea to water down medicine. If we want to help students find their way through university, we should help them understand early on what knowledge and skills they need to have upon graduation. We should allow students to test out of as many courses as possible. We should give them a chance to earn money as interns(实习生)in meaningful part-time jobs that relate to their university studies, such as the five-year co-op program at Northeastern University.36.The first paragraph serves as a(n)________.A. explanationB. definitionC. introductionD. ment37.We can learn from the passage that ________.A. most American universities are against the “three-year degree” modelB. many famous US universities are considering adopting the “three-year degree” modelC. professors are willing to accept the “three-year degree” modelD. t he “three-year degree” model can make college learning more efficient38.In most US universities,________.A. college students are offered the co-op programB. electives’ credits make up one quarter of the required creditsC. all students are required to finish four-year education before graduationD. some excellent students can graduate ahead of time39.We can infer that________.A. the author is a college professorB. the author thinks the cost of a university education is too high for people to affordC. the author considers the university education quality very importantD. the author pays special attention to the all-round development of college students 40.Which of the following can be the best title?A. It’s time to shorten the learning processB. Best learning takes place over timeC. University education should be watered downD. College education calls for reformDMillions of people die of hunger in southern Africa every year, but when Zambia was offered thousands of tons of free maize by the US, the government politely said no.“We don’t know whether the food is safe,” said Zambia’s merce, Trade and Industry Minister Dipak Patel.His worries are shared by countries around the world that are in two minds about America’s genetically modified(GM,转基因的)crops.Just last week, EU(欧盟)member nations were discussing whether or not to import GM sweet corn from the US.Ever since people started farming, they have tried to crossbreed(杂交)plants to make them stronger or better tasting. At one time, only related plants could be crossed with each other.But when GM techniques were developed in the 1970s, scientists were able to put a single gene from a living creature into an unrelated creature.This means they can make crops more productive and resistant to disease by adding genes from other species.They can also create food with special characteristics, such as “golden rice”, which is enriched with vitamin A. But many people believe GM foods are a health risk.At the moment, the official argument is that GM foods “are not likely to present risks for human health”. But there are still many questions t o be answered as the foods are produced in different ways.Some experts believe the genetic material added to plants can transfer to humans and give damage to our bodies. Further harm could be caused by the genes from GM plants crossbreeding with naturally produced crops.People in China are also getting worried about GM foods. More than 70 percent of the country’s soybean oil is produced from imported GM soybeans. Meanwhile, an investigation last November found that 12 of 60 famous foods sold across the country were GM products. The government has begun to introduce a marking system for GM goods so that people can choose whether or not to eat them.41. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Harmful GM foodsB. Advantages of GM foodsC. GM foods, a health risk?D. the Techniques of GM foods42. Why has Zambia refused the American free maize?A. they decide to follow EU member’s adviceB. they are concerned about the safety of GM foodsC. they care little about the problem of starvationD. they are too proud to accept free offer43. It has been proved that _________.A. GM foods are harmful to people’s healthB. GM food is no better than naturally produced foodsC. only related plans could be crossed with each otherD. GM techniques can increase the production of crops44. Which of the following statement is TRUE?A. GM foods are a health risk.B. Only Zambia worries about the safety of GM foods .C. China’s gove rnment hasn’t taken any action about GM foods.D. Some experts believe human bodies can absorb genetic material from GM foods.45. What’s the author’s attitude towards GM foods?A. Supportive.B. Neutral.C. Doubtful.D. Critical.第二节信息匹配(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)请阅读下列应用文及相关信息,并按照要求匹配信息。
