第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

Now,high school seniors who wish to attend U.S.Universities are busy preparing for their college applications and SAT.While the standardized test is an optional

requirement for some schools,at California’s Stanford University it is compulsory for every applicant—even the world’s youngest Nobel Prize winner,Malala!

The 18-year-old that is currently completing high school in

Birmingham,England,has always expressed her desire to attend the U.S. school that has the reputation for being one of the world’s best.But though Malala,in terms of her resumé(简历),rivals 42,000 kids who apply for the 2,000 spots each year,it is not enough.Stanford University still requires her to take the SAT test just like all the other candidates.

Some of her fans are upset because they believe Malala’s achievements are enough to prove she is a worthy candidate.Others think it just shows how much emphasis U.S.Universities place on standardized tests.But not everyone agrees with the critics.Some feel that Malala,special as she is ,should not be given preferential treatment.Malala has always insisted that her celebrity status should not afford her an automatic entrance into a university.

Malala first caught the world’s eyes in 2008,when the then 11-year-old publicly challenged the Taliban’s policies against educating girls.Annoyed by her open defiance(反抗),some Taliban members took matters into their hands and shot the young girl in the head.Fortunately,they were unable to kill Malala or her spirit.Following several surgeries and a long recovery,she returned stronger and even more determined to fight for what’s right.In addition to her continued support for girls in Pakistan,Malala is also preparing for the SAT of course!

21.To be admitted to Stanford University,Malala has to .

A.graduate from a U.S. school

B.pass the SAT test

C.beat 42,000 kids

D.win the Nobel Prize

22.What does the underlined word “afford” mean?

A.buy

B.offer

C.avoid

D.exchange

23.How did Malala begin to draw the world’s attention?

A.By winning the Nobel Prize.

B.By getting support from her fans.

C.By surviving several surgeries.

D.By questioning Taliban’s education policies.

24.What does the passage mainly tell us?

A.Even the Nobel Prize winner has to take the SAT.

B.Malala was the youngest Nobel Prize winner.

C.Malala fights for girls’ education right.

D.Opinions on Malala’s taking SAT vary.

Say you’re in the supermarket parking lot,holding your baby,bags of goods,and trying to open your car.A stranger walks up and says,“Here,let me hold your baby.”Should you let him?

According to a new New York University study,knowing whether or not to trust someone is so important that we can tell whether a face is trustworthy before we even consciously know it’s there.The researchers knew from previous studies that people are fairly similar when it comes to how they judge a face’s trustworthiness.They wanted to find out whether that would be true if people only saw a face for a quick moment — an amount of time so short that it would prevent making a conscious judgment.

To carry out their study,the researchers monitored the amygdala (扁桃腺结构) of 37 volunteers while showing them 300 faces for 33 milliseconds each.Those faces had already been tested with a different set of 10 subjects,who saw them for much longer.In those earlier tests,people agreed about whether to trust each face.In this new study,fascinatingly,different parts of the amygdala lit up when a subject saw an untrustworthy face and a trustworthy one—and it lit up more when the face in question was suspicious (可疑的).

“Faces that appear likely to cause harm are suddenly tracked by the amygdala,so it could then quickly change other brain processes and make fast responses to people —approach or avoid,”says Jon Freeman,the study’s senior author.“Our talents for

making instant judgments could either come from birth or be learned from the social environment.”

So should you trust the guy in the parking lot? Your brain already knows.

25.What is Paragraph 1 used to?

A.To summarize the whole passage.

B.To make the passage more interesting.

C.To introduce the topic of the passage.

D.To warn people to guard against strangers.

26.The amygdala lit up more clearly when people .

A.came across a neutral face mask

B.saw an untrustworthy face

C.met a reliable person

D.saw a familiar face

27.What can we infer from Freeman’s words?

A.Brain processes cannot be changed.

B.The amygdala tracks only faces of bad men.

C.The amygdala decides the accuracy of judgments.

D.The ability of making fast judgments can be acquired.

28.What would be the best title for the passage?

A.Is facial trustworthiness reliable?

B.You can judge a person even without being aware of it

C.Your brain decides whether to trust people in milliseconds

D.Can the amygdala reveal how people make automatic judgments?

The English test will be removed from China’s college entrance exam by 2020,according to details of exam and admission reform revealed by the Ministry of Education.The national college entrance exam,known as the “Gaokao” has been used to evaluate Chinese students for three decades.The Ministry of Education has worked out a plan for reforming exams and enrollment.The Ministry will solicit(征求) public opinions before its release.Instead,tests will be held several times a year to allow students to choose when and how often they sit the exam so as to alleviate study pressure and change China’s once-in-a-lifetime exam system.

The plan and suggestions for its implementation will be announced in the first half of next year.It will be piloted in selected provinces and cities and promoted nationwide from 2017.A new exam and admission system will be established by 2020,according to the education ministry.

The decision has aroused a heated discussion among Shanghai educators and parents who doubted the reform would reduce the burden of learning English or if the substitute test could reflect a student’s English skills and help students learn English better.

“The reform shows China is learning from the West to give students more

test-taking chances.But more chances might become more of a burden since Chinese students are likely to repeat the test until they get the highest score,” said Cai Jigang,a professor at Fudan University’s College of Foreign Languages and Literature and chairman of the Shanghai Advisory Committee for College English Teaching at Tertiary Level.

Yu Lizhong,chancellor of New York University Shanghai,where classes are in English and students are required to have a high standard of English,said the most important aspect of the reform lay in what to test and how to test.

“As far as I see,the reform doesn’t mean English is no longer important for Chinese students after it will be excluded from the unified college entrance exam,”Yu said.“In a way,English is even more important than before since the test would only serve as reference,while every college and university,even every major,can have different requirements of a student’s English skills under a diverse evaluation system.”

Yu said some students will have their study pressure reduced if the major they choose doesn’t need excellent English while others still need to study hard if they want to be among the best students.

The education ministry said the reform would not affect students attending the college entrance exam over the next three years.

32.What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A.English will become less and less important in the stage of compulsory education.

B.It has been 30 years since English became one subject of national college entrance exam.

C.China’s once-in-a-lifetime exam system is unacceptable at all.

D.The system that tests are held several times does more good than once-in-a-lifetime exam system.

33.According to the passage,Shanghai educators and parents argue that .

A.the new exam and admission system will make no difference

B.English shouldn’t be removed from China’s college entrance exam

C.the reform may accomplish the very opposite

D.western educational system does not apply to China

34.What does the passage try to express in the underlined sentence?

A.Students needn’t lay a good foundation during the period of high school.

B.Whether students should study English hard may depend on their major.

C.Students can constantly strive for perfection only in their major.

D.English must be close to full mark.

35.What’s the purpose of the passage?

A.To advise students not to devote themselves to English.

B.To call on Education Department to remove English from “Gaokao”.

C.To support the act of Ministry of Education.

D.To encourage students to do as they have planned.

第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Having bad feelings about the world? “Cheer up,” says science writer Matt Ridley.“The world has never been a better place to live in,and it will keep on getting better both for humans and for nature.”36.

(1)37.

It is reported that there are more than ten billion different products for sale in London alone.Even allowing for the many people who still live in poverty,our own generation has access to more nutritious food,more convenient transport,bigger houses,and better cars.38. This will continue as long as we use these things to make other things.The more we specialize and exchange,the better off we’ll be.

(2)Brilliant advances

One reason we are richer,healthier,taller,cleverer,longer lived and freer than ever before is that the four most basic human needs—food,clothing,fuel and shelter —have grown a lot cheaper.Take one example.In 1800 a candle providing one hour’s light cost six hours’ work.In the 1880s the same light from an oil lamp took 15 minutes’ work to pay for.39. Today it’s half second.

(3)Let’s not kill ourselves for climate change

40. A child that dies from indoor smoke in a village,where the use of fossil-fuel (化石燃料) electricity is forbidden by well-meaning members of green political movements trying to save the world,is just as great a tragedy as a child that dies in a flood caused by climate change.If climate change proves to be mild,but cutting carbon causes real pain,we may well find that we have stopped a nose-bleed by putting a tourniquet (止血带) around our necks.

A.Ridley calls himself a rational optimist—rational,because he’s carefully weighed the evidence.

B.Mitigating (减轻) climate change could prove just as damaging to human welfare as climate change itself.

C.Shopping fuels invention.

D.And,of course,we earn more pounds and dollars than any who lived before us.

E.In 1950 it was eight seconds.

F.It’s high time that we took immediate action to fight climate change.

G.Here’s how he explains his views.
