The concept of solitude(独处) in the digital world is almost non-existent. In the world of digital technology, e-mail, social networking and online video games, information is meant to be 1 . Solitude can be hard to discover 2 it has been given up. In this respect, new technologies have 3 our culture.
The desire to be connected has brought solitude to a(an) 4 as we’ve known it. People have become so 5 in the world of networks and connections that one can often be contacted 6 they’d rather not be. Today we can talk, text, e-mail, chat and blog(写博客), not only from our 7 , but from our mobile phones as well.
Most developed nations have become 8 on digital technology simply because they’ve grown accustomed to it, and at this point not 9 it would make them an outsider. 10 , many jobs and careers require people to be 11 . From this point of view, technology has changed the culture of work. Being reachable might feel like a 12 to those who may not want to be able to be contacted at all times.
I suppose the positive side is that solitude is still possible for anyone who 13 wants puters can be shut 14 and mobile phones can be turned off. The ability to be “connected” and “on” has many 15 , as well as disadvantages. Travelers have ended up 16 on mountains, and mobile phones have saved countless lives. They can also make people feel 17 and forced to answer unwanted calls or 18 to unwanted texts.
Attitudes towards our connectedness as a society 19 across generations. Some find today’s technology a gift. Others consider it a curse. Regardless of anyone’s view on the subject, it’s hard to imagine what life would be like 20 daily advancements in technology.

二、 阅读理解
请认真阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Petroleum, consisting of crude oil(原油) and natural gas, seems to originate from organic matter in marine sediment(海洋沉淀物). Tiny organisms settle to the seafloor and gather in marine mud. The organic matter may partially break down, using up the dissolved oxygen in the sediment. As soon as the oxygen is gone, decay stops and the remaining organic matter is preserved.
Continued sedimentation buries the organic matter and subjects it to higher temperatures and pressures, which change the organic matter to oil and gas. As muddy sediments are pressed together, the gas and small drops of oil may be squeezed out of the mud and may move into sandy layers nearby. Over millions of years, accumulations of gas and oil can collect in the sandy layers. Both oil and gas are less dense than water, so they generally tend to rise upward through rock and sediment.
Oil pools are valuable underground accumulations of oil, and oil fields are regions underlain by one or more oil pools. When an oil pool or field is discovered, wells are drilled into the ground. When the well reaches a pool, oil usually rises up the well because of its density difference(密度差) with water beneath it or because of the pressure of expanding gas trapped above it. Although this rise of oil is almost always carefully controlled today, strong natural flows of oil were common in the past. Gas pressure gradually dies out, and oil is pumped from the well. Water or steam may be pumped down neighboring wells to help push the oil out.
As oil becomes increasingly difficult to find, the search for it is extended into more unfriendly environments. The development of the oil field on the North Slope of Alaska and the construction of the Alaska pipeline are examples of the great expense and difficulty involved in new oil discoveries. Offshore drilling platforms extend the search for oil to the ocean’s continental shelves. More than one-quarter of the world’s oil and almost one-fifth of the world’s natural gas come from offshore, even though offshore drilling is six to seven times more expensive than drilling on land.
Of course, there is far more oil underground than can be recovered. Even given the best exploration techniques, only about 30 to 40 per cent of the oil in a given pool can be brought to the surface. The rest is far too difficult to reach and has to remain underground.
( )21. Which of the following is TRUE about petroleum formation
A. Microscopic organisms that live in mud produce crude oil and natural gas.
B. Large amounts of oxygen are needed for petroleum formation to begin.
C. Petroleum is formed when organic material in sediments combines with decaying organisms.
D. Petroleum formation appears to begin in marine sediments where organic matter exists.
( )22. What does the development of the Alaskan oil field mentioned illustrate
A. More petroleum is extracted from the sea than from land.
B. Drilling for oil requires huge financial investments.
C. The global demand for oil has been increasing over the years.
D. The North Slope of Alaska has substantial amounts of oil.
( )23. What does the author mainly intend to tell us in the passage
A. The formation, processing and exploration of petroleum.
B. The specific techniques involved in oil exploration.
C. The changing relationships between countries.
D. The future intense situation in oil product markets.
( )24. What can we infer from the passage
A. Available exploration techniques serve our purpose of exploring oil very well.
B. More and more public regions will be further protected from being drilled in the future.
C. Countries may suffer from unpleasant relationships for respective benefits in exploring oil.
D. Powerful flows of oil is a phenomenon which can be witnessed rarely now.
B
The early lack of exposure to science, technology, engineering and mathematics(STEM)can be harmful to achieving gender(性别) balance in these fields. It begins when we are young and continues throughout our time in high school.
While at home, girls generally don’t get to experience the level of exposure or encouragement in STEM fields that their male counterparts do. It is often subtle, but it’s the first hurdle that faces and confuses so many women. Boys, on the other hand, get on their path, and are encouraged to do so, generally earlier than girls. For example, boys are more often given science sets as toys, which spark an interest in these subjects.
In school, boys are often pushed to take the more challenging math and science classes. So if we want to attract the best and brightest minds into the fields that will advance us as a people, a country, and a planet, we can no longer look to only half of the population. Young girls cannot possibly consider opportunities they do not know exist. If girls are not exposed to certain subject and career paths, they are highly unlikely to choose to follow them in college.
Our bias(偏见) towards girls, either from families or from schools, is so rooted in our culture that we often don’t even recognize it. Although the situation has changed greatly in the past 20 or 30 years, there is still a sense, that girls aren’t as good at math, for instance, even though there is almost no evidence to support such a belief.
It is important that as a society we deal with gender stereotypes long before young people are faced with a decision to declare or choose a major in college. Without making efforts to break them, we are limiting the potentials of our youth, both male and female. Providing the necessary resources, exposure, and encouragement would help young women understand that their gender shouldn’t determine the career path they choose, and that pursuing a STEM career does not make them less feminine.
( )25. According to the passage, not many girls grow to enter STEM fields because .
A. girls are not as good at STEM as boys
B. girls do not like to take science classes
C. girls get fewer chances to know about STEM
D. girls seldom survive the high pressure positions
( )26. The underlined word “it” in Para.4 refers to .
A. our bias B. our culture C. the situation D. a sense
( )27. The main purpose of the passage is to .
A. show women’s potentials in STEM fields
B. praise women’s contributions to STEM fields
C. describe the present gender bias in STEM fields
D. call for more involvement of women in STEM fields

请认真阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
If the eyes are the romantic’s window into the soul, then the teeth are an anthropologist’s(人类学家) door to the stomach.
In a study published recently in the journal Science, Peter Ungar of the University of Arkansas and his partner, Matt Sponheimer of the University of Colorado, US, examined the teeth of ancient human beings to find out what they were really eating.
They already knew that different foods cause different marks on teeth. Some cause scratches, while others cause pits(坑). The carbon left on teeth by different foods is also different. Tropical grasses, for example, leave one kind of carbon, but trees and bushes leave another kind because they photosynthesize(进行光合作用) differently.
Traditionally, scientists had looked at the size and shape of teeth and skulls(头骨) to figure out what early humans ate. Big flat teeth were taken to be signs that they ate nuts and seeds, while hard and sharp teeth seemed good for cutting meat and leaves. But this was proved wrong.
The best example was the Paranthropus(傍人属类人猿), one of our close cousins, some of whom lived in eastern Africa. Scientists used to believe that they ate nuts, fruits and seeds because they had big crests(突起) on their skulls, suggesting that they had large chewing muscles and big teeth. If this had been true, their teeth should have been covered with pits like the surface of the moon. They would also have had a particular type of carbon on their teeth that typically comes from tree products, such as nuts and seeds.
However, when the two scientists studied the Paranthropus, it turned out to have none of these characteristics. The teeth had a different kind of carbon, and were covered with scratches, not pits. This suggested they probably ate grass, not nuts and seeds. It was the exact opposite of what people had expected to find.
Carbon “footprints” give us a completely new and different understanding of what different species ate and the different environments they lived in. If a certain species had the kind of carbon on its teeth that came from grasses, it probably lived on tropical grassland, for example.
( )1. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 probably means that anthropologists can .
A. know the structure of human stomachs by studying their teeth
B. find out the diet of early humans by studying their teeth
C. learn whether humans were healthy by looking at their teeth
D. get the most useful information about humans from their teeth
( )2. According to Paragraphs 3—5, which of the following statements is TRUE
A. Pits on teeth are caused by eating grass or leaves.
B. Scratches on teeth are caused by eating nuts or seeds.
C. Different foods leave different marks and carbon on teeth.
D. Early humans with hard and sharp teeth ate meat and leaves.
( )3. The example of the Paranthropus was mentioned in order to tell us .
A. they were one of our close cousins living in eastern Africa
B. living environment makes a difference to skull structure
C. they had different eating habits from other humans
D. the size and shape of teeth don’t show accurately what early humans ate

Deception(骗术) is something that people do all the time, and it plays an important role in military(军事的) strategy. Now some researchers are trying to figure out how to get robots to do it by looking at the behavior of squirrels and birds.
At Georgia Tech, a team led by Ronald Arkin, a professor at the School of Interactive Computing, studied the literature on squirrels hiding their acorns(橡果). Squirrels will hide their food in a certain place, but when they see other squirrels trying to steal from them, they attempt to fool the thieves by running to a false location.
Ronald Arkin and his PhD student Jaeeun Shim used that as a model for robot behavior. They programmed the robot into tricking a “predator(捕食者)” machine by doing what a squirrel does: showing the enemy a false location for an important resource.
The team also looked at how other animals—in this case, a species of bird called Arabian babbler—drive off predators. A babbler will make an alarm call when they see a predator and other babblers will join the bird and make more calls. They then surround the predator, all the while flapping(拍打) wings and making noises. The babblers don’t ever actually fight the animal they want to drive off; they just make enough noises and flaps around enough so that it seems that attacking a babbler isn’t worth it.
They found that the deception works when the group reaches a certain size—essentially, when enough birds arrive to convince the enemy that it’s best to back off. Davis modeled that behavior in software using a military scene and found that it worked even if the group didn’t have the firepower to confront the enemy directly.
The military is interested in this because a robot that can fool an opponent is a valuable tool. It could lead an enemy down a false trail or make itself look more dangerous than it actually is.
( )5. Why does the military want to take advantage of squirrels’ trick
A. It can reduce the use of firepower to confront the enemy.
B. It can fool the enemy into believing it is more dangerous.
C. It can lead the enemy in a wrong direction to avoid losing resources.
D. It can scare the enemy away who wants to destroy the acorns.
( )6. Which of the following is NOT the way Arabian babblers drive off predators
A. One bird makes an alarm call and other birds will join it.
B. They fight the enemy bravely face to face.
C. They make noises and flaps around the predator.
D. They force the predator aware that it isn’t worthwhile to attack.
( )7. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Animals’ behaviors are researched to be applied to the study of military robots.
B. Robots’ fooling tricks are applied to the study of animals’ behaviors.
C. Birds and squirrels are the animals that are good at deception.
D. Researchers are interested in animals’ military-related behaviors.

There are many destructive(破坏性的) forces when it comes to nature, which have destroyed whole cities and killed many people. They’re really terrible, but they occur somewhat often, and this is why you see so many charities these days which focus their efforts on helping people who have been affected by natural disasters.
While the world is a very beautiful place to live in, there will always be parts of the world where natural disasters happen more often than in other places, where properties and lives are destroyed. Only the people who live in the country where tsunamis and earthquakes as well as other disasters occur experience these, and we can only imagine the suffering that they go through.
For some people out there, the world is cruel, but they have no choice but to stay where they are. A lot of the time people simply cannot afford to move away, as they might not be able to get a job when they leave.
In 2004, there was a tsunami in the Indian Ocean. A tsunami is a large wave that towers hundreds of feet into the air, and covers whole areas when it comes crashing down on to dry land. This particular tsunami was caused by an earthquake that happened in the middle of the sea, shooting the water away from the ground and towards dry land. This tsunami actually reached thirty meters in height, and was one of the worst tidal waves the world has ever seen. Over 200,000 people were hurt in the disaster.
In 2005, we also saw a hurricane happened in the United States. This hurricane was known as hurricane Katrina, and is perhaps the worst in the history of the world. It happened in 2005 and destroyed millions of properties in the area. It also took the lives of nearly 2,000 American people. It was known that for ten days, the wind swept through the area, meaning the most powerful country in the world became helpless in their attempts to save the people who were affected by the hurricane.
Finally, in 2008 we saw yet another natural disaster. This time it was a cyclone(旋风), which is similar to a hurricane but happens in a circular motion(圆周运动). This cyclone Nargis had been one of the strongest to have ever occurred, reaching a death toll of nearly 150,000 people.
All of these were terrible disasters that were unavoidable.

请认真阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
All around the world, shoppers flock to Wal-Mart to buy everything. In Texas, they come for another reason: to see the wind turbine(涡轮机), which supplies 5% of the store’s electricity. It along with other facilities, such as exterior walls coated with heat-reflective paint, makes this Wal-Mart a green giant.
The laws of economics suggest that Wal-Mart, with 5,200 stores worldwide, influences everything including the price of all kinds of goods. It throws its weight behind environmental responsibility, and the impact could be amazing. “One little change in product packaging could save 1, 500 trees,” says Wal-Mart CEO Lee Scott. “If everybody saves 1,500 trees or 50 barrels of oil, at the end of the day you have made a huge difference.”
Scott wants Wal-Mart to do its part too. He has promised to cut the existing greenhouse-gas emissions(排放) over the next few years and promised to construct new stores that are more efficient. He wants Wal-Mart’s fleet(车队) of more than 7,000 trucks to get twice as many miles per gallon by 2015. Factories that show Wal-Mart they’re cutting air pollution will get preferential treatment in the supply chain. Wal-Mart says it’s working with consumer-product manufacturers to reduce their packaging and will reward them if they do so.
Some people may doubt it is a bid to attract attention from Wal-Mart’s controversial labor and health-insurance practices. But it’s not just window dressing, because Wal-Mart sees profits in going green. Scott says, “This is a business philosophy, not a social philosophy. We don’t go where we don’t think there’s a great interest in change.”
Like Bill Gates, who started his charitable foundation, Scott happens to be promoting Wal-Mart’s image at a time when his company’s reputation is declining. He acknowledges that he launched the plan partly to shield(保护,庇护)Wal-Mart from bad press about its contribution to global warming. “By doing what we’re doing today, we avoid the headline risks that are going to come for people who did not do anything,” he says. “At some point businesses will be held responsible for the actions they take.” Meanwhile, should Wal-Mart succeed in shrinking its environmental footprint and lowering prices for green products, both the planet and the company will profit.
( )1. We can infer from the passage that .
A. Lee Scott is Wal-Mart’s CEO
B. there are 5,200 stores in the world
C. Wal-Mart has a great influence on the world market
D. Wal-Mart has more than 7,000 trucks all over the world
( )2. What does the underlined sentence “This is a business philosophy, not a social philosophy.” mean in the fourth paragraph
A. Wal-Mart predicts huge profits in its green activity.
B. Wal-Mart’s green activity is just window dressing.
C. Wal-Mart aims to solve its health-insurance practices.
D. Wal-Mart doesn’t have any social responsibility at all.
( )3. What will Wal-Mart probably do in the future
A. Reduce air pollution in its present stores.
B. Give favorable treatment to its consumers.
C. Ask the factories to reduce their packaging.
D. Demand the fleet of trucks to use more fuel than before.
( )4. What is the main idea of the last paragraph
A. Provide the background of the green plan.
B. Stress the purpose of Wal-Mart’s green plan.
C. Present the risk that Wal-Mart is facing nowadays.
D. Analyze the similarity between Bill Gates and Scott.

Reducing the amount of salt in our diets could save nearly 20,000 lives in the UK every year, according to researchers.
The recommended maximum daily intake for adults is 6 g in the UK, although just last month the World Health Organization (WHO) revised this down to 5 g. Yet according to figures from the British Heart Foundation, men consume around 9.7 g a day, while women have 7.7 g.
Fast Food Salt Content
Original chicken 2.9 g per portion(份)
Spicy crayfish 3.5 g per portion
Large chips 1 g per portion
McDonald’s Big Mac 2.1 g per portion
Now researchers at three universities, including Harvard Medical School, have revealed the dramatic effect reducing salt could have on death rates by using computer models. They estimated that reducing salt intake to 6 g would save 500,000 to 850,000 lives in the US over the next decade.
British doctor Ian Campbell, medical director of charity Weight Concern, told Mail Online: Salt is a big problem in the UK too. It’s a silent killer. Over time consuming too much of it increases the risk of high blood pressure, which can lead to heart attacks. About 80 per cent of our salt intake comes from processed foods, so it can be difficult to avoid.
Many people are unaware of where salt is hidden, such as bread, soups, ready meals, and even breakfast cereals(麦片). The Government approach has been to encourage food companies to cut the amount of salt in their products. There has been a reduction but it is taking too long. The Food Standards Agency should consider setting compulsory maximum levels for salt.
Victoria Taylor, Senior Dietitian at the British Heart Foundation, added: Eating too much salt may raise your blood pressure and having high blood pressure increases your risk of developing heart disease.
The Government has worked with the food industry to reduce the amount of salt in our food and make labels clearer. But there is still work to be done by everyone because the majority of Brits are still consuming more salt than they should be.
( )5. Which of the following in the table reaches the daily maximum amount of salt recommended by the WHO
A. A large chips and a McDonald’s Big Mac.
B. A McDonald’s Big Mac and an original chicken.
C. An original chicken and a spicy crayfish.
D. A spicy crayfish and a large chips.
( )6. According to the passage, when people eat processed food they .
A. should add a little salt B. needn’t add salt
C. may ruin their health D. can have risks of heart attacks
( )7. To solve the problem of eating too much salt, Ian Campbell advises .
A. having healthier breakfast
B. punishing the illegal food companies
C. reducing the amount of processed food
D. making laws about maximum levels for salt

“Happiness Advantage” Effect
In July 2010 Burt’s Bees, a personal-care products company, was going through enormous change as it began a global expansion into 19 new countries. In this kind of high-pressure situation, many leaders bother their assistants with frequent meetings or flood their inboxes with urgent demands. In doing so, managers lift everyone’s anxiety level, which activates the part of the brain that processes threats and steals resources from the prefrontal cortex(大脑皮层), which is responsible for effective problem-solving.
Burt’s Bees’s then-CEO, John Wolfgang, took a different approach. Each day, he’d send out an e-mail praising a team member for work related to global marketing. He’d interrupt his own presentations to remind his managers to talk with their teams about the company’s values. He asked me to further a three-hour session with employees on happiness in the course of the expansion effort. As one member of the senior team told me a year later, Wolfgang’s emphasis on developing positive leadership kept his managers actively involved and loyal as they successfully transformed the company into a global one.
That outcome shouldn’t surprise us. Research shows that when people work with a positive mindset(思维模式), performance on nearly every level—productivity, creativity, involvement—improves. Yet happiness is perhaps the most misunderstood driver of performance. For one, most people believe that success comes before happiness. “Once I get a promotion, I’ll be happy,” they think. Or, “Once I hit my sales target, I’ll feel great.” But because success is a moving target—as soon as you hit your target, you raise it again—the happiness that results from success does not last long.
In fact, it works the other way around: People who have a positive mindset perform better in the face of challenge. I call this the “happiness advantage”—every business outcome shows improvement when the brain is positive. I’ve observed this effect in my role as a researcher and lecturer in 48 countries on the connection between employee happiness and success. And I’m not alone: In an analysis of 225 academic studies, researchers found strong evidence of cause-and-effect relationship between life satisfaction and successful business outcomes.
Another common misunderstanding is that our genetics, our environment, or a combination of the two determines how happy we are. To be sure, both factors have an impact. But one’s general sense of well-being is surprisingly unstable. The habits you form, the way you interact with colleagues, how you think about stress—all these can be managed to increase your happiness and your chances of success.

A Leap(跳跃) to Honor
Leaping on a narrow balance beam(平衡木) is not easy. But Lola Walter, a 13-year-old gymnast, is an expert at it.
To perfect her skills, Lola 1 for four hours a day, five days a week. At the state championships in March, she finished seventh out of 16 girls.
That’s especially impressive, 2 she is legally blind, born with a rare condition that causes her eyes to shift(移动) constantly. She often sees double and can’t 3 how far away things are.
When she was little, her mom 4 that even though she couldn’t see 5 , she was fearless. So her mom signed her up for gymnastics when she was three. She loved the 6 right away and gymnastics became her favorite.
Though learning gymnastics has been more 7 for her than for some of her teammates, she has never quit. She doesn’t let her 8 stop her from doing anything that she wants to.
She likes the determination it takes to do the sport. Her biggest 9 is the balance beam. Because she has double vision, she often sees two beams. She must use her sense of touch to help her during her routine. Sometimes she even closes her eyes. “You have to 10 your mind that it’ll take you where you want to go,” says Lola.
To be a top-level gymnast, one must be brave. The beam is probably the most 11 for anyone because it’s four inches wide. At the state competition, Lola didn’t fall 12 the beam. In fact, she got an 8.1 out of 10—her highest score yet.
Lola doesn’t want to be 13 differently from the other girls on her team. At the competitions, the judges don’t know about her vision 14 . She doesn’t tell them, because she doesn’t think they need to know. Her mom is amazed by her 15 attitude.
Lola never thinks about 16 . She is presently at level 7 while the highest is level 10 in gymnastics. Her 17 is to reach level 9. She says she wants to be a gymnastics coach to pass down what she’s learned to other kids 18 she grew up.
Lola is 19 of all her hard work and success. She says it’s helped her overcome problems in her life outside gymnastics, too. Her 20 for others is “just believe yourself”.

“Plants were expected to get larger with increased carbon dioxide in atmosphere, but changes in temperature, humidity and nutrient availability seem to trumped the benefits of increased carbon dioxide,” said researchers from the National University of Singapore.
45 per cent of the species studied now reach smaller adult sizes than they did in the past. The researchers pointed out that warmer temperatures and changing habitats, caused by climate change, are possible reasons for shrinking creatures.
“We do not yet know the mechanisms involved, or why some organisms are getting smaller while others are unaffected,” the researchers said. “Until we understand more, we could be risking negative consequences that we can’t yet quantify.”
The change was big in cold-blooded animals. Only two decades of warmer temperatures were enough to make reptiles smaller. An increase of 1 degree centigrade caused nearly a 10 per cent increase in metabolism(新陈代谢). Greater use of energy resulted in tiny tortoises and little lizards. Fish are smaller now too. Though overfishing has played a part in reducing numbers, experiments show that warmer temperatures also stop fish growth. There is a recent report on warmer temperatures’ negative effects on plankton(浮游生物), the base of the marine ecosystem.
Warm-blooded animals weren’t immune from the size change caused by climate change. Many birds are now smaller. Mammals have been miniaturized too. Soay sheep are thinner. Red deer are weaker. And polar bears are smaller, compared with historical records.
This is not the first time this has happened in Earth’s history. 55 million years ago, a warming event similar to the current climate change caused bees, spiders and ants to shrink by 50 to 75 per cent over several thousand years. That event happened over a longer time than the current climate change.
The speed of modern climate change could mean organisms may not respond or adapt quickly enough, especially those with long generation times. So, it is likely that more negative influences of climate change will be shown in future.
( )21. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A. Why Do Some Species Become Smaller
B. How Does Temperature Change in Earth’s History
C. Climate Change Has Many Negative Effects
D. Species Become Smaller as Climate Warms
( )22. The underlined word “trumped” in the first paragraph can be replaced by “ ”.
A. been neglected by B. had stronger influences than
C. been weakened by D. been less than
( )23. Researchers from the National University of Singapore believe that .
A. how climate change effects animals’ size has not been found clearly
B. all the animals on the earth have become smaller
C. too many studies on animals’ size have been done
D. people can avoid the negative effects of climate change
( )24. What can we learn from the passage
A. Climate change has even affected plankton negatively.
B. Birds have suffered more from climate change than fish.
C. Ants, bees and spiders have been shrinking by 50% to 70% in the past decade.
D. A warming event causing species to become smaller has never happened before.
( )25. What’s the author’s attitude towards climate change in the passage
A. Concerned. B. Optimistic.
C. Indifferent. D. Confident.
B
Boys’ schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music.
Far from the traditional image of a culture of aggressive masculinity(阳刚), the absence of girls gives boys the chance to develop without pressure to obey a stereotype(陈规旧俗), a US study says.
Boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to obey the “boy code” of hiding their emotions to be a “real man”.
The findings of the study go against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls.
Tony Little, headmaster of Eton, warned that boys were being failed by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls. He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls.
The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when their female peers do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.
But in single-sex schools teachers can tailor lessons to boys’ learning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote the study’s author, Abigail James, of the University of Virginia.
Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with “boy-focused” approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. Because boys generally have more acute vision, learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given “hands-on” lessons where they are allowed to walk around. “Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine(女性的) and prefer the modern type in which violence and sexism are major themes,” James wrote.
Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel they had to obey a stereotype that men should be “masterful and in charge” in relationships. “In mixed schools boys feel forced to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means,” the study reported.
( )26. The author believes that a single-sex school would .
A. force boys to hide their emotions to be “real men”
B. encourage boys to express their emotions more freely
C. help to cultivate masculine aggressiveness in boys
D. naturally reinforce in boys the traditional image of a man
( )27. It is commonly believed that in a mixed school boys .
A. perform relatively better B. grow up more healthily
C. behave more responsibly D. receive a better education
( )28. What does Tony Little say about the British education system
A. It fails more boys than girls academically.
B. It focuses more on mixed school education.
C. It fails to give boys the attention they need.
D. It places more pressure on boys than on girls.
( )29. According to Abigail James, one of the advantages of single-sex schools is .
A. teaching can be tailored to suit the characteristics of boys
B. boys can focus on their lessons without being distracted
C. boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested in
D. teaching can be designed to promote boys’ team spirit
( )30. Which of the following is characteristic of boys according to Abigail James’ report
A. They enjoy being in charge. B. They obey stereotypes.
C. They are violent and sexist. D. They have sharper vision.

Faced with increasingly fierce competition from all aspects, such as entrance for a higher school, mate selection, job hunting, promotion and earning, etc., more and more people are in the state of psychological sub-health. There are a lot of factors causing it, such as interpersonal tension, the lack of communication and stimulation, irregular life, nutritional insufficiency, inadequate physical exercise and the like. The sub-health seriously damages people’s daily life, even worse, it brings about the tragedy of suicide.
Fortunately, it has gained great concern of the whole society and people are going out of their way to solve the problem. Above all, we should keep optimistic, independent and confident. Next, we should maintain good interpersonal relationship and communicate more with others to adjust ourselves to different kinds of situations. Finally, we should live regularly and strengthen physical exercise. Only in this way can we shake off psychological sub-health and enjoy a happy life.

As is vividly shown in the picture, there are lots of students with money in their hands crowding into the vehicle for the college entrance examination of an Academy of Arts to realize their dreams of being future stars in the show business. This apparently reveals the heat of arts examinations in today’s society.
What accounts for it For most of young students, it would open the door of becoming famous. In their mind, to be a star would bring them not only a rich material life but also a great fame.
However, gaining fame is comparable to walking on a single-plank bridge, and only a small number of people have such good chance. For the majority of people, it is just a dream. As a young man, one couldn’t live in a dream and should face the reality. What’s the most important is to be realistic and be happy with what can be done.

Nowadays, many rich people are enthusiastic about charities. Some people take it for granted that the rich have the responsibility to contribute to charities. However, others maintain those wealthy people deserve praise for their selfless honored behaviors.
Those people who hold the first opinion believe the rich cannot get rich without others in the society and that they should give back to society.
However, others think differently. In their opinions, the wealthy people’s success is the result of their hard work. They also argue that charity is not only the duty of rich people but every citizen’s duty.
Personally, I agree with the latter. After all, the rich people are successful because they have worked hard and have a legal business. I think we should praise and respect those who have made or are making contributions to charities.限时精练五45分钟综合性过关小练习(五)

The purpose of a letter of application(求职信) is to help you to “sell” yourself. It should state 1 the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have 2 . It should be simple, human, personal and brief without 3 out any necessary facts.
In writing a letter of application, keep in 4 that the things a possible employer is most 5 to want to know about are your qualifications(资格), your achievements and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part. 6 the first few sentences fail to 7 the reader’s attention, the rest of the letter may not be 8 at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not 9 your own needs or desires. For example, instead of beginning with “I saw your 10 in today’s newspaper”, you might say “I have made a careful 11 of your advertising during the past six months” or “I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives 12 your product and why they like it.”
Try to 13 generalities. Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now 14 . College graduates looking for their first positions often ask “What can I 15 in a letter Employers want experience—which, naturally, no 16 has.” The answer is that everything you have ever done is 17 .
It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter. 18 a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent 19 is to enclose(内附) a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it 20 for a possible employer to get in touch with you.

Parents say that honesty is the best policy, but they regularly lie to their children as a way of influencing their behavior and emotions, finds new research from the University of Toronto and the University of California.
Surprisingly little has been published on the subject of parental lying, so Gail Heyman, professor of psychology at the University of California, Diem Luu, a former student of the University of California, and Kang Lee, professor at the University Toronto, set out to explore the under-researched phenomenon. They asked US participants in two related studies about parents lying to their children—either for the purpose of promoting appropriate behavior or to make them happy.
In one of the studies, many parents reported they told their young children that bad things would happen if they didn’t go to bed or eat what they were supposed to. Other parents reported inventing magical creatures. One explained, “We told our daughter that if she wrapped up all her pacifiers(橡皮奶嘴) like gifts, the fairy would come and give them to the children who needed them.”
In the other study, the researchers surveyed college students’ recollections about their parents’ lying and obtained similar results: Parents often lie to their children even as they tell them that lying is unacceptable.
The researchers refer to this practice as “parenting by lying”. “We are surprised by how often parenting by lying takes place,” said Lee. Though Heyman thinks that there are occasions when it is appropriate to be less than truthful with a child, she urges parents to think through the issues and consider alternatives before using lies. “Children sometimes behave in ways that are disruptive or are likely to harm their long-term interests,” said Heyman. “It is common for them to try out a range of strategies, including lying, to stop them. However, parents should be concerned about the possible long-term negative consequences to children’s beliefs about honesty.”
( )21. The subject of parental lying .
A. was not allowed to be researched in the past
B. attracts little attention because it is common
C. hasn’t got many published results about it
D. is becoming more and more popular
( )22. The study of Gail Heyman, Diem Luu and Kang Lee was focused on parents’ lies that .
A. aim to cover their mistakes
B. lead children to hate them
C. aim to give children a positive influence
D. make children get used to lying
( )23. What does Heyman think of parental lying
A. It is a great parenting strategy.
B. Parents should think twice before using it.
C. It usually does more good than harm.
D. Parents should do something to make up for it after using it.
( )24. Parents usually when their young children don’t go to bed properly.
A. turn off the bedroom lights and play some music
B. shout at them loudly
C. shut the door and let them alone
D. make up some magical creatures to let them believe

A. Business. B. Education. C. Technology. D. Fashion.

Expensive perfumes(香水) come in tiny bottles, but many hide a whale-sized secret.
To perfect a particular smell, perfume-makers often use an ingredient that comes from sperm whales, called ambergris. But using ambergris, which helps a perfume last longer, is strongly opposed by many people who think it is wrong to kill whales just so we can smell sweet. Joerg Bohlmann is neither a perfumer nor a whale expert. He’s a plant biologist at the University of British Columbia in Canada. But his discovery of a new plant gene(基因) might push whales out of the perfume business.
The gene comes from fir trees, found throughout North America and commonly used as Christmas trees. The trees produce a chemical that can be used in perfume in place of ambergris—but with a catch.
“There’s a problem that many people wouldn’t consider. In the tree, the chemical is mixed with many others. That makes separation a challenge,” Bohlmann says. “It’s like trying to isolate sugar from a biscuit.”
This is where science becomes useful. When Bohlmann learned that fir trees produce the ambergris-like chemical, he decided to use his gene know-how to find the instructions for how to make the ambergris-substitute.
Bohlmann found that gene and took it out of the tree cells. Then he did something that might sound strange to someone who doesn’t work in genetics: Bohlmann put the gene from the tree into yeast(酵母) cells.
Yeast may sound familiar because it’s used to make things like bread, wine and beer. Biologists like to work with yeast because it easily adopts new genes and changes its features and behaviour. When Bohlmann put the fir tree gene into the yeast, the yeast started making the same chemical that had been produced by the tree.
Perfumers pay big money for ambergris because it is a fixative, which means it holds a smell in place on a person’s body.
“Cheap perfumes smell good in the first hour or so and then everything is gone,” explains Bohlmann. “But expensive perfumes are much more stable. Their smell lasts much longer, for hours or even a day after you apply them.”
The new chemical, made from the tree genes, can be used as a fixative, too. And using yeast to make it is far cheaper than acquiring ambergris.
Bohlmann admits he never thought he’d get into the perfume business. But now, he says, producers have been calling to find out how to use his technology in new perfumes.
( )26. It can be inferred from the passage that if a perfume contains ambergris, .
A. its user probably supports whale hunting
B. its smell will last for about an hour
C. there will be a whale symbol on the bottle
D. it is probably very expensive
( )27. The underlined expression “with a catch” in Paragraph 3 means “ ”.
A. being difficult to hold B. having a hidden problem
C. needing further testing D. being too similar
( )28. According to the passage, why are yeast cells often used in genetic research
A. They can take on the characteristics of other genes.
B. They can reproduce much faster than other cells.
C. They share some of the qualities of plant genes.
D. They’re much cheaper to use than ambergris.
( )29. What can we learn about Joerg Bohlmann from the passage
A. He is opposed to whale hunting.
B. He made his discovery during Christmas.
C. He has worked in the perfume industry for many years.
D. He has previously done genetic research.
( )30. What is the best title for the passage
A. The Christmas Tree’s Secret B. The Sweet Smell of Success
C. Whale-free Perfume D. Save the Whale
