Under the law, people who voluntarily offer emergency assistance to those who are, or who they believe to be, injured, ill or in danger, will not have civil responsibility in the event of harm to the victims.The new law aims to ease the reluctance people feel toward helping strangers for fear of legal consequences if they make mistakes in treatment.

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.The Companies Doing the Most to Make Their Employees Happier Fat paychecks, light workloads, and endless vacation days don’t necessarily add to happy employees. In fact, the happiest employees in the U.S. owe their happiness to first-rate employee motivations, sufficient benefits, career advancement programs, and great work-life balance. The companies that have been the most devoted to cultivating and advancing these things in the past year have seen employee happiness 41 .The jobs site just announced the winners of this year’s “Leap Awards,” which honor the companies that have made the biggest leaps to improve employee happiness year-over-year. CareerBliss evaluated more than 250,000 company reviews and ratings it received from 42nationwide to determine the top 50 deserving companies. To 43 the list, each company had to have at least 50 reviews.“The Leap Awards are important because they highlight 44 in our workforce,” says CareerBliss’s chief executive, Heidi Golledge. Ca reerBliss asked the respondents to evaluate the key factors that 45 work happiness, including work-life balance, one’s relationship with the boss and co-workers, the work environment, job resources, salary, growth opportunities, company culture, company reputation, daily tasks, and job 46 .Each respondent valued each of these things on a 1-to-5 scale, and indicated how important each was to their overall happiness at work. These numbers were 47 to find an average rating of overall employee happiness for each company. These averages were compared to last year’s numbers to find which companies had 48 the most.“Every employer who receives a Leap Award should 49 their workplace happiness initiatives,” says Golledge. “Even though we are coming out of a difficult time, it is 50 to see companies putting their efforts into providing a great environment for their employees. These efforts in workplace happiness will ensure that their employees will be around for years to come, as happiness breeds 51 .”“We find each year that work-life balance is a key factor in determining employee happiness,” says Golledge. “Employees want to know that they can balance their ca reer with their family and personal life. Often this 52 over things like salary. Having programs that allow managers to offer employees flexibility can be a key factor in creating a happy work environment. 53 , we see career advancement programs have a big impact on overall employee happiness. Often employees would rather take a job for 范文.范例.指导.参考a 54 salary, if the company provides a comprehensive program which will help grow their career. Employees want to learn, develop and sustain a successful career p ath.”Workplace happiness is the core of CareerBliss’ mission, Miller says. “An individual’s happiness at work will create happiness throughout all areas of their life, and 55 a company with a happy, motivated workforce will see exceptional results in its products and services.”41.

A. obviously B. frankly C. fortunately D. similarlySection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）In the world of higher education in the United States, competition seems more common than schools working together. Every college and university competes for students, as well as the best teachers and money for research programs.But one thing almost every school has in common is the difficulty they face in serving low-income students. The National Center for Education Statistics reports that low-income college students are less likely to complete their study programs than other students.范文.范例.指导.参考It was only natural that the leaders of Michigan State University and ten other universities discussed this issue when they met in 2014. The 11 schools are spread across the United States and serve different populations and needs. But their leaders all saw improving graduation rates for all students as the biggest problem facing American higher education.So the group created an organization called the University Innovation Alliance or UIA for sharing information related to this problem. Its main goal is to get 68,000 more students at the member schools to graduate by 2025, with at least half of those students being low-income. The 11 schools now say their number of graduates has increased by over 7,200 in just three years. This includes an almost 25 percent increase in the number of low-income graduates.How were they able to make this happen? It began with each university looking at its own situation and finding out what it had been doing right and what it had been doing wrong.For example, before joining the UIA, academic advising at Michigan State mostly involved reacting to problems students faced after the problems had already arisen. Then school officials heard about a computer program that fellow UIA member Georgia State University was using. This computer program follows decisions students make about their classes and the progress they are making in their studies. It then sends academic advisors messages whenever a student shows signs that they are making mistakes or facing difficulties. That way the advisors can try to help students before the problems become too serious. Michigan State began using the computer program and it has meant a world of difference. Michigan State has not only received useful information from its partners. It has also shared helpful information of its own.Bridget Burns, the executive director for the UIA, says efforts like this have never been as successful. “There are rankings that measure all kinds of things,”Burns said. “But how well you do for low-income students has not historically been highlighted.”56. What led to the setting up of the UIA?A. The low graduation rates.B. The great need of low-income students.C. The inefficiency of learning.D. The severe competition between schools.57. The UIA functions in such a way as the member universities _____.A. find out their own graduation ratesB. share and follow each other’s good practiceC. make joint efforts to aid students financiallyD. popularize computer programs among students58. By “it has meant a world of difference”in paragraph 6, the author means Michigan State _____.A. has found the computer program quite different from theirsB. has discovered the computer program is very difficult to useC. has helped students successfully with the computer program范文.范例.指导.参考D. has involved more academic advisors in the computer program59. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. Universities Highlighting Their Efforts for Low-IncomesB. Universities Competing for Better Students and TeachersC. Universities Working Together to Help Poor StudentsD. Universities Creating the UIA to Share Information（B）We want to make the world a better, fairer place. We want to keep the powerful honest. And we believe that doing so means keeping society informed by producing quality, independent journalism, which discovers and tells readers the truth.It’s essential for the functioning of democracy. And our unique ownership structure means no one can tell us to drop a story.But it’s difficult and expensive work. While more people are reading the Guardian than ever before, far fewer are paying for it. And advertising incomes across the media are falling fast.So if you read us, if you like us, if you value our perspective—then become a Supporter and help make our future more secure.Supporters get closer to the Guardian As a Guardian Supporter, you’ll enjoy a number of benefits, including:◆Exclusive emails from Guardian journalists◆An ad-free experience on our mobile app◆Joining the global Guardian Members community ◆ A welcome giftMost importantly of all, you’ll appreciate every word that you read, in the knowledge that you’ve helped to bring it to the page.Why do we need our Supporters?Like many other media organisations, the Guardian is operating in an incredibly challenging financial climate. Our advertising incomes are falling fast. We have huge numbers of readers, and we are increasingly reliant upon their financial support.范文.范例.指导.参考We don’t have a wealthy owner pulling the strings. Noshareholders, advertisers or billionaire owners can edit oureditor.Our owner, the Scott Trust, protects our editorialindependence from commercial or political interference (干涉). It reinvests income into our journalism, not into shareholders’ pockets.But while the Scott Trust ensures our independence, we need our Supporters, now more than ever before, to help secure our future.We know that not everyone is in a position to become a Supporter. But if you can, you’ll be an essential part of our mission to make the world a better, fairer place, for everyone.60. The above webpage mainly aims to _____.A. raise funds from readersB. inform readers of quality journalismC. attract more readersD. guarantee readers a secure future61. Which of the following is a difficulty the Guardian is facing?A. It’s losing its editorial independence.B. It’s becoming increasingly reliant on its owner.C.

The Guardian is independent financially and politically.C. Shareholders can interfere with the Guardian’s journalism.D. Guardian Supporters can put ads on the mobile app for free.（C）A new kind of production was underway on the set of the NBC comedy Superstore. Social media stars were crafting 30-second videos to post on their social media channels ahead of the comedy’s second-season return. Each made sure to mention Superstore and its first public show.As networks and studios struggle to reach young audiences in an increasingly fragmented(碎片化的) media marketplace, many have turned to so-called influencers—online stars whose value is measured by the size of their Internet followings—as a means of generating awareness. Advertisers are seizing on the strategy in an age of commercial-skipping and ad-blockers. Word of mouth in the digital age means messages travel faster by way of social media. The majority of consumers worldwide trust online recommendations from stars. And when Superstore gave its first public show, it did so to higher ratings than the last show of Season 1.Studio and network executives say they work with influencers to build brand awareness and reputation in a more friendly way through the friend-like connections consumers feel范文.范例.指导.参考toward the online personalities they follow. At the upper level, influencers typically have thousands of followers on social media and online content platforms and count many millions of people who tune in daily to watch them. Some do something that makes themselves look stupid in their daily routine, sharing videos of their trips to the grocery store or dinner dates. Others have built careers on performances—making comedy videos, reviewing video games, performing magic tricks and teaching cooking lessons, among other pursuits.When in the employ of studios, their efforts can be as simple as publicizing a film or more involved attempts like the marketing push for Superstore. Entertainment companies declined to discuss how much they pay influencers. But several experts said their pay ranges from a few thousand dollars to several million. Some simply receive gift baskets instead of pay.Over the last year or so, some entertainment companies have begun to cast influencers in their TV and film projects. The st rategy is a bit of a gamble: It’s a new business model, and questions remain about the effectiveness of using these personalities to improve a show’s ratings—or help open a movie. Just how much influence the influencers have is hard to measure. TV ratings and box-office returns do not reveal what caused a viewer to tune in.What is clear is that these personalities aren’t necessarily getting the work because of their acting skills, but often because of their Internet followings. Yet as social media stars consider whether to take on jobs promoting movies and TV shows, there’s an important consideration for both parties: the credibility of a campaign. “Fans are definitely aware wh en they’re being tempte d with promotional posts,” said Zach King, a social media star who performs magic tricks. “It has to be something that is natural and fits with the image of the creator.”63. Why did social media stars post short videos on their channels before Superstore’ssecond season?A. To attract more influencers.B. To draw audience’s attention.C. To put on better performances.D. To increase the channels’popularity.64. Advertisers like the influencer marketing strategy because _____.A. audiences believe in whatever online stars recommendB. influencers are quite aware of the impact of the digital ageC. ordinary advertisements are often ignored by young peopleD. social media platforms are the cheapest place to spread messages65. What is implied in the passage?A. The influencer marketing strategy help build connections between executives.B. Most influencers get paid from gift baskets instead of from their companies.C. Most influencers take on marketing jobs regardless of their reliability.范文.范例.指导.参考D. The influencer marketing strategy may not really work well.66. The passage mainly wants to tell us that _____.A. most young people like following influencersB. studios are relying more on social media starsC. influencers are gradually replacing movie starsD. social media are filming videos for SuperstoreSection CDirections:Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Feel Young at Heart and Y ou’ll Enjoy a Longer Life Age-liars and birthday-deniers... you’d best learn a thing or two from those who are young at heart. People who feel younger than their actual age may live longer than those who feel older than they truly are, a new study says.67 Results from the study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, suggest that people who feel a year or more older than they truly are could have around 41 percent greater risk for death.Researchers looked at nearly 6,500 older adults, with an average age of 65.8 for the study. Around 70 percent of them felt younger than they were, about a quarter felt their precise age and just under 5 percent felt a year or more older than they were, when asked “How old do you feel you are?”Those who felt older than they were had a higher death rate after a follow-up period of 99 months. While just 14.3 and 18.5 percent of people who felt younger or felt their age, respectively, died during those 99 months, 24.6 percent of those who felt aged beyond 范文.范例.指导.参考their years had died.The authors say more research is needed on the topic, but suggest it could be that those who feel “young at heart”have healthier behaviors and a stronger will to live. “ 68 Individuals who feel older could be targeted with health messages promoting positive health behaviors and attitudes toward aging,”the authors write in the study.The good news is that you can change your feeling of how young you are. 69 One recent study found that helping participants have positive feelings toward age, by showing them positive word associations, helped older adults improve in physical tasks like balancing and getting up out of a chair, in as little as four weeks. Another study found that negative feeling of aging and poor memory can make older adults feel up to five years older, regardless of their actual mental abilities.There you have it. 70IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Do Smartphones Make Us Smarter?Should teachers allow cellphones in a classroom? A recent study on the way smartphones disturb learning might help explain the issue. Researchers published findings showing how students were affected by their phones in the classroom. They explored the differences in student performance in four situations: open phone use allowed, phones allowed in the classroom but could not be used, no phones in the classroom and a no-instruction control group. After watching a 20-minute video, students took a short quiz. The result was that the students in a room without any cellphones performed significantly better on the test. Scientists believe the way we attach ourselves to our phones could be the problem.Smartphones have become so strongly established in society that many people are lost without them. We are now in an age when many people can’t imagine life without a phone. There is even a name for the anxiety caused by not having one—nomophobia, which is the powerful feeling people get when they don’t have signal, their battery is about to die, or they are separated from their phones. Their fear of missing out on important information or connections can have a controlling effect on their lives and can divide their attention from other important things like learning.So does information technology help or block the way we think? In the past, people relied heavily on specific knowledge and knew who in their circle of friends would be范文.范例.指导.参考most likely to know things in different subjects. Now, our friend with all the information is the Internet. Indications are that people don’t remember information as well if they know they can use a computer or phone to recall it quickly. So it may be more difficult to move information from the Internet into our long-term memory.But the impact of being exposed to so much information isn’t all bad. Reports show that frequent Internet use can strengthen fast-paced problem solving and can speed up the ability to spot patterns in a lot of data.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72. 何不利用这宜人的天气出去野餐呢？(advantage)73. 当你对情况一知半解时，不要随意发表见解。

Under the law, people who voluntarily offer emergency assistance to those who are, or who they believe to be, injured, ill or in danger, will not have civil responsibility in the event of harm to the victims.The new law aims to ease the reluctance people feel toward helping strangers for fear of legal consequences if they make mistakes in treatment.

The academy’s permanent secretary, Sara Danius, announced the news Thursday.The win comes as something of a<n> 33 . As usual, the Swedish Academy did not announce a shortlist of nominees <被提名者>, leaving the betting markets to their best 34 . And while Dylan has enjoyed favor as an outside shot for the award, the 35 that the musician would be the one to break the Americans’ long dry period was regarded as unlikely—especially because he made his career mainly on the stage, not the 36 page.Yet few would argue Dylan has been anything but 37 , both in the U.S. and beyond its borders. The productive singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist has produced dozens of albums. Dylan, who was born Robert Allen Zimmerman in 1941, "has the status of an idol<偶像>," the Swedish Academy wrote. "His influence on contemporary music is significant, and he is the object of a steady stream of 38 literature."In an interview following the announcement, Danius 39 the Swedish Academy’s decision: "He is a great poet in the English-speaking tradition, and he is a wonderful sampler—a very original sampler," Danius explained. "For 54 years now he has been at it and reinventing himself, constantly creating a new identity."And for his work, he has been 40 by critical community. Dylan has won Grammys, an Academy Award, a Golden Globe and a Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor in the U.S. Now, to the honors Dylan has added a Nobel.III.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The Companies Doing the Most to Make Their Employees Happier Fat paychecks, light workloads, and endless vacation days don’t necessarily add to happy employees. In fact, the happiest employees in the U.S. owe their happiness to first-rate employee motivations, sufficient benefits, career advancement programs, and great work-life balance. The companies that have been the most devoted to cultivating and advancing these things in the past year have seen employee happiness 41 .The jobs site just announced the winners of this year’s "Leap Awards," which honor the companies that have made the biggest leaps to improve employee happiness year-over-year. CareerBliss evaluated more than 250,000 company reviews and ratings it received from 42 nationwide to determine the top 50 deserving companies. To 43 the list, each company had to have at least 50 reviews."The Leap Awards are important because they highlight 44 in our workforce," says CareerBliss’s chi ef executive, Heidi Golledge. CareerBliss asked the respondents to evaluate the key factors that 45 work happiness, including work-life balance, one’s relationship with the boss and4 / 14co-workers, the work environment, job resources, salary, growth opportunities, company culture, company reputation, daily tasks, and job 46 .Each respondent valued each of these things on a 1-to-5 scale, and indicated how important each was to their overall happiness at work. These numbers were 47 to find an average rating of overall employee happiness for each company. These averages were compared to last year’s numbers to find which companies had 48 the most."Every employer who receives a Leap Award should 49 their workplace happiness initiatives," says Golledge. "Even though we are coming out of a difficult time, it is 50 to see companies putting their efforts into providing a great environment for their employees. These efforts in workplace happiness will ensure that their employees will be around for years to come, as happiness breeds 51 .""We find each year that work-life balance is a key factor in determining employee happiness," says Golledge. "Employees want to know that they can balance their career with their family and personal life. Often this 52 over things like salary. Having programs that allow managers to offer employees flexibility can be a key factor in creating a happy work environment. 53 , we see career advancement programs have a big impact on overall employee happiness. Often employees would rather take a job for a 54 salary, if the company provides a comprehensive program which will help grow their career. Employees want to learn, develop and sustain a successful career path."Workplace happiness is the core of CareerBli ss’ mission, Miller says. "A n individual’s happiness at work will create happiness throughout all areas of their life, and 55 a company with a happy, motivated workforce will see exceptional results in its products and services."41.

Every college and university competes for students, as well as the best teachers and money for research programs.But one thing almost every school has in commonis the difficulty they face in serving low-income students.The National Center for Education Statistics reports that low-income college students are less likely to complete their study programs than other students.It was only natural that the leaders of Michigan State University and ten other universities discussed this issue when they met in 2014. The 11 schools are spread across the United States and serve different populations and needs. But their leaders all saw improving graduation rates for all students as the biggest problem facing American higher education.So the group created an organization called the University Innovation Allianceor UIA for sharing information related to this problem.Its main goal is to get 68,000 more students at the member schools to graduate by 2025, with at least half of those students being low-income. The 11 schools now say their number of graduates has increased by over 7,200 in just three years. This includes an almost 25 percent increase in the number of low-income graduates.How were they able to make this happen? It began with each university looking at its own situation and finding out what it had been doing right and what it had been doing wrong.For example, before joining the UIA, academic advising at Michigan State mostly involved reacting to problems students faced after the problems had already arisen. Then school officials heard about a computer program that fellow UIA member Georgia State University was using.This computer program follows decisions students make about their classes and the progress they are making in their studies. It then sends academic advisors messages whenever a student shows signs that they are making mistakes or facing difficulties. That way the advisors can try to help students before the problems become too serious.Michigan State began using the computer program and it has meant a world of difference.Michigan State has not only received useful information from its partners. It has also shared helpful information of its own.Bridget Burns, the executive director for the UIA, says efforts like this have never been as successful. "There are rankings that measure all kinds of things,"Burns said. "But how well you do for low-income students has not historically beenhighlighted."56. What led to the setting up of the UIA?A. The low graduation rates.B. The great need of low-income students.C. The inefficiency of learning.D. The severe competition between schools.57. The UIA functions in such a way as the member universities _____.A. find out their own graduation ratesB. share and follow each other’s good practiceC. make joint efforts to aid students financiallyD. popularize computer programs among students58. By "it has meant a world of difference" in paragraph 6, the author means Michigan State _____.A. has found the computer program quite different from theirsB. has discovered the computer programis very difficult to use6 / 14C. has helped students successfully with the computer programD. has involved more academic advisors in the computer program59. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. Universities Highlighting Their Efforts for Low-IncomesB. Universities Competing for Better Students and TeachersC.

Each made sure to mention Superstore and its first public show.As networks and studios struggle to reach young audiences in an increasingly fragmented <碎片化的> media marketplace, many have turned to so-called influencers—online stars whose value is measured by the size of their Internet followings—as a means of generating awareness.Advertisers are seizing on the strategy in an age of commercial-skipping and ad-blockers. Word of mouth in the digital age means messages travel faster by way of social media. The majority of consumers worldwidetrust online recommendations from stars.And when Superstore gave its first public show, it did so to higher ratings than the last show of Season 1.Studio and network executives say they work with influencers to build brand awareness and reputation in a more friendly way through the friend-like connections consumers feel toward the online personalities they follow.At the upper level, influencers typically have thousands of followers on social media and online content platforms and count many millions of people who tune in daily to watch them. Some do something that makes themselves look stupid in their daily routine, sharing videos of their trips to the grocery store or dinner dates. Others have built careers on performances—making comedy8 / 14videos, reviewing video games, performing magic tricks and teaching cooking lessons, among other pursuits.When in the employ of studios, their efforts can be as simple as publicizing a film or more involved attempts like the marketing push for Superstore.Entertainment companies declined to discuss how much they pay influencers. But several experts said their pay ranges from a few thousand dollars to several million. Some simply receive gift baskets instead of pay.Over the last year or so, some entertainment companies have begun to cast influencers in their TV and film projects. The st rategy is a bit of a gamble: It’s a new business model, and questions remain about the effectiveness of using these personalities to improve a show’s ratings—or help open a movie.Just how much influence the influencers have is hard to measure. TV ratings and box-office returns do not reveal what caused a viewer to tune in.What is clear is that these personalities aren’t necessarily getting the work because of their acting skills, but often because of their Internet followings.Yet as social media stars consider whether to take on jobs promo ting movies and TV shows, there’s an important consideration for both parties: the credibility of a campaign."Fans are definitely aware when they’re being tempted with promotional posts," saidZach King, a social media star who performs magic tricks. "It has to be something that is natural and fits with the image of the creator."63. Why did social media stars post short videos on theirchannelsbefore Superstore’s second season?A. To attract more influencers.B. To draw audience’s attention.C. To put on better performances.D. To increase the channels’ popularity.64. Advertisers like the influencer marketing strategy because _____.A. audiences believe in whatever online stars recommendB. influencers are quite aware of the impact of the digital ageC. ordinary advertisements are often ignored by young peopleD. social media platforms are the cheapest place to spread messages65. What is implied in the passage?A. The influencer marketing strategy help build connections between executives.B. Most influencers get paid from gift baskets instead of from their companies.C. Most influencers take on marketing jobs regardless of their reliability.D. The influencer marketing strategy may not really work well.66. The passage mainly wants to tell us that _____.A. most young people like following influencersB. studios are relying more on social media starsC. influencers are gradually replacing movie starsD. social media are filming videos for SuperstoreSection CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.9 / 14Feel Young at Heart and Y ou’ll Enjoy a Longer LifeAge-liars and birthday-deniers... you’d best learn a thing or two from those who are young at heart. People who feel younger than their actual age may live longer than those who feel older than they truly are, a new study says.67 Results from the study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, suggest that people who feel a year ormore older than they truly are could have around 41 percent greater risk for death.Researchers looked at nearly 6,500 older adults, with an average age of 65.8 for the study. Around 70 percent of them felt younger than they were, about a quarter felt their precise age and just under 5 percent felt a year or more older than they were, when asked "How old do you feel you are?"Those who felt older than they were had a higher death rate after a follow-up period of 99 months. While just 14.3 and 18.5 percent of people who felt younger or felt their age, respectively, died during those 99 months, 24.6 percent of those who felt aged beyond their years had died.The authors say more research is needed on the topic, but suggest it could be that those who feel "young at heart" have healthier behaviors and a stronger will to live. " 68 Individuals who feel older could be targeted with health messages promoting positive health behaviors and attitudes toward aging," the authors write in the study.The good news is that you can change your feeling of how young you are. 69 One recent study found that helping participants have positive feelings toward age, by showing them positive word associations, helped older adults improve in physical tasks like balancing and getting up out of a chair, in as little as four weeks. Another study found that negative feeling of aging and poor memory can make older adults feel up to five years older, regardless of their actual mental abilities.There you have it. 70IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point<s> of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.10 / 14Do Smartphones Make Us Smarter?Should teachers allow cellphones in a classroom? A recent study on the way smartphones disturb learning might help explain the issue. Researchers published findings showing how students were affected by their phones in the classroom. They explored the differences in student performance in four situations: open phone use allowed, phones allowed in the classroom but could not be used, no phones in the classroom and a no-instruction control group. After watching a 20-minute video, students took a short quiz. The result was that the students in a room without any cellphones performed significantly better on the test. Scientists believe the way we attach ourselves to our phones could be the problem.Smartphones have become so strongly established in society that many people are lost without them. We are now in an age when many people can’t imagine life without a phone. There is even a name for the anxiety caused by not having one—nomophobia, which is the powerful feeling people get when they don’t have signal, their battery is about to die, or they are separated from their phones. Their fear of missing out on important information or connections can have a controlling effect on their lives and can divide their attention from other important things like learning.So does information technology help or block the way we think? In the past, people relied heavily on specific knowledge and knew who in their circle of friends would be most likely to know things in different subjects.Now, our friend with all the information is the Internet. Indications are that people don’t remember information as well if they know they can use a computer or phone to recall it quickly. So it may be more difficult to move information from the Internet into our long-term memory.But the impact of being exposed to so much information isn’t all bad. Reports show that frequent Internet use can strengthen fast-paced problem solving and can speed up the ability to spot patterns in a lot of data.V.

The productive musician is the first Nobel winner to have followed a career primarily as a singer-songwriter. What’s more, he’s also the first American to have won the prize in more than two decades. Not since novelist Toni Morrison won in 1993 has an American 31 the prize.Dylan earned the prize “for having 32 new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition,” according to the statement by the Swedish Academy, the commi ttee that annually decides the winner of the Nobel Prize. The academy’s permanent secretary, Sara Danius, announced the news Thursday.The win comes as something of a(n) 33 . As usual, the Swedish Academy did not announce a shortlist of nominees (被提名者), leaving the betting markets to their best 34 . And while Dylan has enjoyed favor as an outside shot for the award, the 35 that the musician would be the one to break the Americans’ long dry period was regarded as unlikely—especially because he made his career mainly on the stage, not the 36 page.Yet few would argue Dylan has been anything but 37 , both in the U.S. and beyond its borders. The productive singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist has produced dozens of albums. Dylan, who was born Robert Allen Zimmerman in 1941, “has the status of an idol (偶像),”the Swedish Academy wrote. “His influence on contemporary music is significant, and he is the object of a steady stream of 38 literature.”In an interview following the announcement, Danius 39 the Swedish Academy’s decision: “He is a great poet in the English-speaking tradition, and he is a wonderful sampler—a very original sampler,” Danius explained. “For 54 years now he has been at it and reinventing himself, constantly creati ng a new identity.”And for his work, he has been 40 by critical community. Dylan has won Grammys, an Academy Award, a Golden Globe and a Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor in the U.S. Now, to the honors Dylan has added a Nobel.Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The Companies Doing the Most to Make Their Employees Happier Fat paychecks, light workloads, and endless vacation days don’t necessarily add to happy employees. In fact, the happiest employees in the U.S. owe their happiness to first-rate employee motivations, sufficient benefits, career advancement programs, and great work-life balance. The companies that have been the most devoted to cultivating and advancing these things in the past year have seen employee happiness 41 .The jobs site /doc/fdd504f89989680203d8ce2f0066f5335a81673a.html just announced the winners of this year’s “Leap Awards,” which honor the companies that have made the biggest leaps to improve employee happiness year-over-year. CareerBliss evaluated more than 250,000 company reviews and ratings it received from 42第 4 页/ 共15 页nationwide to determine the top 50 deserving companies. To 43 the list, each company had to have at least 50 reviews.“The Leap Awards are important because they highlight 44 in our workforce,” says CareerBliss’s chief executive, Heidi Golledge. CareerBliss asked the respondents to evaluate the key factors that 45 work happiness, including work-life balance, one’s relationship with the boss and co-workers, the work environment, job resources, salary, growth opportunities, company culture, company reputation, daily tasks, and job 46 .Each respondent valued each of these things on a 1-to-5 scale, and indicated how important each was to their overall happiness at work. These numbers were 47 to find an average rating of overall employee happiness for each company. These averages were compared to la st year’s numbers to find which companies had 48 the most.“Every employer who receives a Leap Award should 49 their workplace happiness initiatives,” says Golledge. “Even though we are coming out of a difficult time, it is 50 to see companies putting their efforts into providing a great environment for their employees. These efforts in workplace happiness will ensure that their employees will be around for years to come, as happiness breeds 51 .”“We find each year that work-life balance is a key factor in determining employee happiness,” says Golledge. “Employees want to know that they can balance their career with their family and personal life. Often this 52 over things like salary. Having programs that allow managers to offer employees flexibility can be a key factor in creating a happy work environment. 53 , we see career advancement programs have a big impact on overall employee happiness. Often employees would rather take a job for a 54 salary, if the company provides a comprehensive program which will help grow their career. Employees want to learn, develop and sustain a successful career path.”Workplace happiness is the core of CareerBliss’ mission, Miller says. “An individual’s happiness at work will create happiness throughout all areas of their life, and 55 a company with a happy, motivated workforce will see exceptional results in its products and services.”41.

Every college and university competes for students, as well as the best teachers and money for research programs.But one thing almost every school has in common is the difficulty they face in serving low-income students. The National Center for Education Statistics reports that low-income college students are less likely to complete their study programs than other students.It was only natural that the leaders of Michigan State University and ten other universities discussed this issue when they met in 2014. The 11 schools are spread across the United States and serve different populations and needs. But their leaders all saw improving graduation rates for all students as the biggest problem facing American higher education.So the group created an organization called the University Innovation Alliance or UIA for sharing information related to this problem. Its main goal is to get 68,000 more students at the member schools to graduate by 2025, with at least half of those students being low-income. The 11 schools now say their number of graduates has increased by over 7,200 in just three years. This includes an almost 25 percent increase in the number of low-income graduates.How were they able to make this happen? It began with each university looking at its own situation and finding out what it had been doing right and what it had been doing wrong.For example, before joining the UIA, academic advising at Michigan State mostly involved reacting to problems students faced after the problems had already arisen. Then school officials heard about a computer program that fellow UIA member Georgia State University was using. This computer program follows decisions students make about their classes and the progress they are making in their studies. It then sends academic advisors messages whenever a student shows signs that they are making mistakes or facing difficulties. That way the advisors can try to help students before the problems become too serious. Michigan State began using the computer program and it has meant a world of difference. Michigan State has not only received useful information from its partners. It has also shared helpful information of its own.Bridget Burns, the executive director for the UIA, says efforts like this have never been as successful. “There are rankings that measure all kinds of things,” Burns said. “But how well you do for low-income students has not historically been highlighted.”56. What led to the setting up of the UIA?A. The low graduation rates.B. The great need of low-income students.C. The inefficiency of learning.D. The severe competition between schools.57. The UIA functions in such a way as the member universities _____.A. find out their own graduation ratesB. share and follow each other’s good practice第 6 页/ 共15 页第 7 页 / 共 15 页 C. make joint efforts to aid students financiallyD. popularize computer programs among students58. By “it has meant a world of difference ” in paragraph 6, the author means Michigan State _____.A. has found the computer program quite different from theirsB. has discovered the computer program is very difficult to useC. has helped students successfully with the computer programD. has involved more academic advisors in the computer program59. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. Universities Highlighting Their Efforts for Low-IncomesB. Universities Competing for Better Students and Teachers（B ）As a Guardian Supporter, you’ll enjoy a nu mber of。

Not since novelist Toni Morrison won in1993 has an American 31 the prize.Dylan earned the prize “for having 32 new poetic expressions within the great Americansong tradition,”according to the statement by the Swedish Academy, the committee that annually decides the winner of the Nobel Prize.

As usual, the Swedish Academy did not announce a shortlist of nominees (被提名者), leaving the betting markets to their best 34 .

Every college and university competes for students, as well as the best teachers and money for research programs.But one thing almost every school has in common is the difficulty they face in serving low-income students. The National Center for Education Statistics reports that low-income college students are less likely to complete their study programs than other students.It was only natural that the leaders of Michigan State University and ten other universities discussed this issue when they met in 2014. The 11 schools are spread across the United States and serve different populations and needs. But their leaders all saw improving graduation rates for all students as the biggest problem facing American higher education.So the group created an organization called the University Innovation Alliance or UIA for sharing information related to this problem. Its main goal is to get 68,000 more students at the member schoolsto graduate by 2025, with at least half of those students being low-income. The 11 schools now saytheir number of graduates has increased by over 7,200 in just three years. This includes an almost 25 percent increase in the number of low-income graduates.How were they able to make this happen? It began with each university looking at its own situation and finding out what it had been doing right and what it had been doing wrong.For example, before joining the UIA, academic advising at Michigan State mostly involved reacting to problems students faced after the problems had already arisen. Then school officials heard about a computer program that fellow UIA member Georgia State University was using. This computer program follows decisions students make about their classes and the progress they are making in their studies. It then sends academic advisors messages whenever a student shows signs that they are making mistakes or facing difficulties. That way the advisors can try to help students before the problems become too serious. Michigan State began using the computer program and it has meant a world of difference. Michigan State has not only received useful information from its partners. It has also shared helpful information of its own.Bridget Burns, the executive director for the UIA, says efforts like this have never been as successful. “There are rankings that measure all kinds of things,” Burns said. “But how well you do for low-income students has not historically been highlighted.”56. What led to the setting up of the UIA?A. The low graduation rates.B. The great need of low-income students.C. The inefficiency of learning.D. The severe competition between schools.57. The UIA functions in such a way as the member universities _____.A. find out their own graduation ratesB. share and follow each other’s good practiceC. make joint efforts to aid students financiallyD. popularize computer programs among students58. By “it has meant a world of difference” in paragraph 6, the author means Michigan State _____.A. has found the computer program quite different from theirsB. has discovered the computer program is very difficult to useC. has helped students successfully with the computer programD. has involved more academic advisors in the computer program59. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. Universities Highlighting Their Efforts for Low-IncomesB. Universities Competing for Better Students and TeachersC. Universities Working Together to Help Poor StudentsD. Universities Creating the UIA to Share Information（B）We want to make the world a better, fairer place. We want to keep the powerful honest.

Social media stars were crafting 30-second videos to post on their social media channels ahead of the comedy’s second-season return. Each made sure to mention S uperstore and its first public show.As networks and studios struggle to reach young audiences in an increasingly fragmented (碎片化的) media marketplace, many have turned to so-called influencers—online stars whose value is measured by the size of their Internet followings—as a means of generating awareness. Advertisers are seizing on the strategy in an age of commercial-skipping and ad-blockers. Word of mouth in the digital age means messages travel faster by way of social media. The majority of consumers worldwide trust online recommendations from stars. And when Superstore gave its first public show, it did so to higher ratings than the last show of Season 1.Studio and network executives say they work with influencers to build brand awareness and reputation in a more friendly way through the friend-like connections consumers feel toward the online personalities they follow. At the upper level, influencers typically have thousands of followers on socialmedia and online content platforms and count many millions of people who tune in daily to watch them. Some do something that makes themselves look stupid in their daily routine, sharing videos of theirtrips to the grocery store or dinner dates. Others have built careers on performances—making comedy videos, reviewing video games, performing magic tricks and teaching cooking lessons, among other pursuits.When in the employ of studios, their efforts can be as simple as publicizing a film or more involved attempts like the marketing push for Superstore. Entertainment companies declined to discuss how much they pay influencers. But several experts said their pay ranges from a few thousand dollarsto several million. Some simply receive gift baskets instead of pay.Over the last year or so, some entertainment companies have begun to cast influencers in their TVs a new business model, and questions remain and film projects. The st rategy is a bit of a gamble: It’s ratings—or help open a movie. about the effectiveness of using these personalities to improve a show’Just how much influence the influencers have is hard to measure. TV ratings and box-office returns do not reveal what caused a viewer to tune in.What is clear is that these personalities aren’t necessarily getting the work because of their acting skills, but often because of their Internet followings. Yet as social media stars consider whether to takes an important consideration for both parties: the on jobs promoting movies and TV shows, there’re being tempted with promotional credibility of a campaign. “Fans are definitely aware when they’I t has to be something that is posts,” saidZach King, a social media star who performs magic tricks. “natural and fits with the image of the creator.”s second season?63.

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.Age really should be treated as just a number.B.Felt age might play a role in more than just how you feel.C.Feeling young is about maintaining vitality as you get older.D.Self-felt age has the potential to change, so interventions (干预) may be possible.E.And other studies suggest that there could be more benefits to thinking yourself younger,besides a longer life.F.People who feel younger than the number of years they have on the clock get more pleasurethan people who feel their age.Feel Young at Heart and Y ou’ll Enjoy a Longer Lifed best learn a thing or two from those who are young at heart.Age-liars and birthday-deniers... you’People who feel younger than their actual age may live longer than those who feel older than they trulyare, a new study says.67 Results from the study, published in the Journal of the American MedicalAssociation, suggest that people who feel a year or more older than they truly are could have around 41percent greater risk for death.Researchers looked at nearly 6,500 older adults, with an average age of 65.8 for the study. Around70 percent of them felt younger than they were, about a quarter felt their precise age and just under 5percent felt a year or more older than they were, when asked “How old do you feel you are?”Those who felt older than they were had a higher death rate after a follow-up period of 99 months.While just 14.3 and 18.5 percent of people who felt younger or felt their age, respectively, died duringthose 99 months, 24.6 percent of those who felt aged beyond their years had died.The authors say more research is needed on the topic, but suggest it could be that those who feel have healthier behaviors and a stronger will to live. “68 Individuals who “young at heart”feel older could be targeted with health messages promoting positive health behaviors and attitudestoward aging,” the authors write in the study.The good news is that you can change your feeling of how young you are. 69 Onerecent study found that helping participants have positive feelings toward age, by showing thempositive word associations, helped older adults improve in physical tasks like balancing and getting upout of a chair, in as little as four weeks. Another study found that negative feeling of aging and poormemory can make older adults feel up to five years older, regardless of their actual mental abilities.There you have it. 70IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Do Smartphones Make Us Smarter?Should teachers allow cellphones in a classroom? A recent study on the way smartphones disturb learning might help explain the issue. Researchers published findings showing how students were affected by their phones in the classroom. They explored the differences in student performance in four situations: open phone use allowed, phones allowed in the classroom but could not be used, no phonesin the classroom and a no-instruction control group. After watching a 20-minute video, students took a short quiz. The result was that the students in a room without any cellphones performed significantly better on the test. Scientists believe the way we attach ourselves to our phones could be the problem.Smartphones have become so strongly established in society that many people are lost without them. We are now in an age when many people can’t imagine life without a phone. There is even a name for the anxiety caused by not having one—nomophobia, which is the powerful feeling people get when they don’t have signal, their battery is about to die, or they are separated from their phones. Their fear of missing out on important information or connections can have a controlling effect on their livesand can divide their attention from other important things like learning.So does information technology help or block the way we think? In the past, people relied heavilyon specific knowledge and knew who in their circle of friends would be most likely to know things in different subjects. Now, our friend with all the information is the Internet. Indications are that peopledon’t remember information as well if they know they can use a computer or phone to recall it quickly.So it may be more difficult to move information from the Internet into our long-term memory.But the impact of being exposed to so much information isn’t all bad. Reports show that frequent Internet use can strengthen fast-paced problem solving and can speed up the ability to spot patterns in a lot of data.V.
