Conventional wisdom may tell you that a master's degree from Harvard Business School in the US is the key to a Fortune 500 job，while the same degree from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania，US，means a possible career on Wall Street．
It seems that the graduate school you go to somewhat decides your future．And a recent New York Times article reveals the correlation between MBA （Master of Business Administration） graduates at certain US schools and career prospects．
To work at Amazon
Ross School of Business （University of Michigan）
Amazon regularly hires more MBAs from top 10 business schools than big Wall Street firms．And a large chunk of Americans employees are from Ross．Graduate Peter Faricy，vice president of Amazon Marketplace，says the reason behind this is that Ross' curriculum-related offerings，a problem-solving course for instance，are particularly well suited to Amazon．
To work at Mc Kinsey&Company
Kellogg School of Management （Northwestern）
For an MBA，landing a job at McKinsey is like trying to get into a competitive business school all over again．However，Kellogg graduates perform well in the fierce competition．The school's MBAs are in demand at elite consulting firms，which hired 35 percent of Kellogg graduates last year，a higher percentage than at Harvard （23 percent） and Stanford （16 percent）．
To work at Apple
Fuqua School of Business （Duke）
Silicon alley hasn't always welcomed MBAs．However，two of Apple's top 10 executives come from Fuqua．Apple has hired 32 Fuqua graduates over the past five years，and provided 42 internships for Duke students．
To start your own company
Harvard Business School

Think "art".What comes to your mind？Is it Greek or Roman sculptures in the Louvre，or Chinese paintings？Have you ever imagined it's a dancing pattern of lights？
The artworks created by American artist Janet Echelman look like colorful floating clouds when lit up at night.Visitors could not only enjoy looking at them but also interact with them literally—by using their phones to change the colors and patterns.But are they really art？
Whatever your opinion，we cannot deny art has existed for thousands of years and art and technology have always been two separate things.
Today，however，technological advances have led to a combination of art and technology，changing the art world greatly.Now art is more accessible to us.For example，people used to queue up for six hours but spend limited time admiring the famous 5 meter Chinese painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival.Thanks to technology，however，viewers can leisurely experience a digital version of this painting，where the characters can move and interact with their surroundings.
The combination of art and technology is also changing our concepts of "art" and the"artist".Not only can we interact with art，but also we can take part in its creation.With new technological tools at our fingertips，more people are exploring new art forms，such as digital paintings and videos.
However，it has also raised questions over its overall quality.Can a video of someone slicing a tomato really be called "art"？
Similarly，such developments are making the line between art and technology less distinct.
Can someone unfamiliar with traditional artists' tools really call themselves an "artist"？And is the artist the creator of the art itself，or the maker of the technology behind it？
Where technology will take art next is anyone's guess.But one thing is for sure—with so many artists exploring new possibilities，we can definitely expect the unexpected.
（1）How could viewers interact with Janet Echelman's artworks？
A.By touching their phone screens.
B.By lighting up the artworks.
C.By talking to her on the phone.
D.By coloring the patterns.
（2）What does the example in Paragraph 4 indicate？
A.Achievements of China's technology.
B.The influence of art on technology.
C.Easier access to art caused by technology.
D.Interaction between viewers and art.
（3）What do we know about the combination of art and technology？
A.It lowers the quality of artworks.
B.It involves common people in creation.
C.It shortens the time of painting.
D.It makes scientists the real creators of art.
（4）What is the author's attitude towards combining technology with art？
A.Objective.
B.Regretful.
C.Disapproving.
D.Conservative.

Everyone gathered around and Paddy read out loud，slowly，his tone growing sadder and sadder.The little headline said：BOXER RECEIVES LIFE SENTENCE.
Frank Cleary，aged 26，professional boxer，was today found guilty of the murder of Albert Gumming，aged 32，laborer，last July.The jury（陪审团） reached its decision after only ten minutes，recommending the most severe punishment to the court.It was，said the Judge，a simple case.Cumming and Cleary had quarreled violently at the Harbour Hotel on July 23rd and police saw Cleary kicking at the head of the unconscious Gumming.When arrested，Cleary was drunk but clear-thinking.
Cleary was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour.Asked if he had anything to say，Cleary answered， "Just don't tell my mother."
"It happened over three years ago，" Paddy said helplessly.No one answered him or moved，for no one knew what to do. "Just don't tell my mother，" said Fee numbly. "And no one did!Oh，God!My poor，poor Frank!"
Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said. "Fee，pack your things.We'll go to see him."
She half-rose before sinking back，her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead. "I can't go，" she said without a hint of pain，yet making everyone feel that the pain was there. "It would kill him to see me.I know him so well-his pride，his ambition.Let him bear the shame alone，it's what he wants.We've got to help him keep his secret.What good will it do him to see us？"
Paddy was still weeping，not for Frank，but for the life which had gone from Fee's face，for the dying in her eyes.Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune，always stood between Fee and himself.He was the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children.Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee，Frank took it away.But Paddy's love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Frank.
So he said，"Well，Fee，we won't go.But we must make sure he is taken care of.How about if I write to Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank？"
There was no excitement in the eyes，but a faint pink stole into her cheeks. "Yes，Paddy，do that.Only make sure he knows not to tell Frank we found out.Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don't know."
（1）Which of the following is true according to the passage？
A.Frank was found guilty of murder because he was a professional boxer.
B.The family didn't find out what happened to Frank until three years later.
C.The jury and the judge disagreed on whether Frank had committed murder.
D.Frank didn't want his family to find out what happened because Paddy disliked him.
（2）Paddy didn't cry for Frank because he thought
A.Frank did kill someone and deserved the punishment
B.Frank should have told Fee what had happened
C.what had happened to Frank was killing Fee
D.Frank had always been a man of bad moral character
（3）"She half-rose before sinking back…" （in Paragraph 6）shows that
A.Fee was so heart-broken that she could hardly stand up
B.Fee didn't want to upset Paddy by visiting Frank
C.Fee couldn't leave her family to go to see Frank
D.Fee struggled between wanting to see Frank and respecting his wish
（4）What is Fee's probable relationship with Frank and Paddy？
A.Son and brother.
B.Son and husband.
C.Brother and lover.
D.Lover and husband.

According to scientists，biscuits can give you cancer.But don't worry，research shows that sunshine can cure cancer.Hang on.Ignore previous findings that suggest it might actually cause cancer.But whatever you do，don't shave，because that's been shown to increase the risk of cancer，along with other everyday household products like hairspray baby powder and sausages.It's a wonder that any of us are still alive.According to scientists，the world we live in is a death trap.
So many of my patients come to me saying how worried they are about some health scare they've heard about in the news.Though the claims seem to be backed up by scientific evidence，even a rough look brings up contradictions and inconsistencies.It's easy to blame the journalists for twisting science to chase headlines.But I've felt that is extremely unfair.The chilling fact is that these health stories come from scientists，not journalists.In fact，a study in the British Medical Journal found that many of the exaggerations（夸大的说法）that later made it into health reports originated from a press release，Over a third of the press releases，for example，made exaggerated claims of the impact of the research for humans when in fact the study was carried out on animals.A third also made exaggerated claims of causation when in fact the study found an association only.Particularly worrying was that many of the exaggerated claims appear to have been written or at least approved by scientists themselves.
But，you could argue，aren't journalists to blame for not going back to the original papers and checking out the claims themselves？
The fact is that journalists，like the public at large，have tended to believe what the scientists have told us.Why would we ever assume they'd lie？The very nature of their job is the search for the correct answer.The problem though is that they have funding to worry about and these days，an article hitting the front page headline making bold claims about your research is as important for securing future funding as getting it into top medical journals is.It's also worth mentioning that every research facility or university now has a press department to do the job.
I think that this is a good reason to make understanding and interpreting a scientific paper a fundamental part of science in school.That way we encourage more people to examine the claims themselves and，hopefully，improve the public's understanding of basic scientific principles.
Now，recent research has shown that work can increase your risk of premature death so with this in mind，I 'm signing off（结束）.
（1）What is the purpose of the first paragraph？
A.To lead in the topic of the passage.
B.To state the argument of the passage.
C.To give vivid examples of health problems.
D.To draw readers' attention to common health problems.
（2）According to British Medical Journal，which is NOT a source of exaggerated health claims？
A.Scientists write or approve the exaggerated claims.
B.Press releases apply the results of animal studies to humans.
C.Press releases switch claims of association to that of causation.
D.Journalists bend and misinterpret scientific studies to chase headlines.
（3）What solution does the writer give？
A.Scientists should be given more access to research funding.
B.Scientific articles with exaggerated headlines shouldn't be published.
C.People should learn more about science to examine the health claims.
D.Research facilities and universities should cancel their press departments.
（4）What is the writer's tone？
A.Playful.
B.Instructive.
C.Worried.
D.Optimistic.

阅读下面短文，从短文的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Say No to Non-electric Cars
Most modern cities have taken action to reduce traffic jams and improve air quality.But if they want to become more livable，they should think about more ambitious goals.
Amsterdam has set a good example.As from 2030，driving a gas vehicle there will not be allowed.The Dutch capital wants its citizens to become healthier and happier. （1） .Amsterdam isn't alone；it joins Hamburg，Madrid and other cities in moving toward at least partial car bans to reduce pollution.
The advantages of such plans are clear. （2） . It slows economic growth.Pollution from cars not only contributes to climate change but is also a threat to well-being.Amsterdam's government says it reduces life expectancy of its citizens by a full year.
（3） .Electric cars，after all，are more expensive.And for most people，giving up driving means life will become less convenient.Perhaps cities can help make this switch easier.For example，they can think about improving public transportation.They can also design appealing public spaces for pedestrians （行人）. （4） .Technology can also do its part.Cities can be more open to new ways of getting around，such as bike--sharing，driverless cars and delivery drones（无人机）.
Saying no to non-electric cars or even all cars is hard. （5） .Making our cities more livable has to become an urgent goal.
A.But will everyone support such plans？
B.The government should advocate the use of electric cars.
C.Traffic jams waste huge amounts offuel and time each year.
D.Electric cars not only are energy-saving but produce little noise.
E.But let's think seriously about our well-being and that of our planet.
F.People who drive electric cars may be given discounts on parking fees.
G.One way to do is to encourage them to switch to electric cars or give up driving altogether.

young and would sometimes bark loudly.She didn’t want to get rid of her dog,but she was just a kid and
didn’t have any choice in the matter.
The family decided to surrender Chloe to a humane society(保护动物协会).Before taken away, Chloe was microchipped(植入芯片),with her birth date and other essential information recorded. Saying goodbye was by no means easy Nicole felt so sick and sad about it and thought she’d never see or hear
from her ever again.In time Nicole grew up got married, and had a child of her own - but one thing was still missing.

She’d initially thought of adopting a puppy-until she ran across a post on Facebook about a senior dog needing a new home.The dog in the photograph looked a lot like Chloe-she was even named Chloe.

作答示例
Upon meeting her “new” dog ，Nicole was struck with a strange feeling.In an instant she was almost sure that it was her old friend.And Chloe seemed to feel the same way about Nicole from the start throwing herself at her adopter and licking her face.All these characteristics just reminded her of her old dog. She was convinced that it was her though she had never thought she'd ever see her dog again. Eight years had passed since Nicole had last seen Chloe, so when she told her parents.Chloe was back they thought she missed Chloe so much that it was just her wishful thinking
But she realized there was a way to prove to her family that it was Chloe.She decided to take her new hloe to the society to be scanned so that the microchip would show the recorded information When she was told that the birth place and date were a perfect match she felt she had won the "lottery" Chloe is now 11 years old but is still as healthy and energetic as Nicole remembered her to be.Only one thing has changed-she doesn't bark a lot any longer Nicole knows that she wants to be with her forever and this time
nothing will come between them.

Frank Cleary，aged 26，professional boxer，was today found guilty of the murder of Albert Gumming，aged 32，laborer，last July.The jury（陪审团） reached its decision after only ten minutes，recommending the most severe punishment to the court.It was，said the Judge，a simple case.Cumming and Cleary had quarreled violently at the Harbour Hotel on July 23rd and police saw Cleary kicking at the head of the unconscious Gumming.When arrested，Cleary was drunk but clear-thinking.
Cleary was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour.Asked if he had anything to say，Cleary answered， "Just don't tell my mother."
"It happened over three years ago，" Paddy said helplessly.No one answered him or moved，for no one knew what to do. "Just don't tell my mother，" said Fee numbly. "And no one did!Oh，God!My poor，poor Frank!"
Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said. "Fee，pack your things.We'll go to see him."
She half-rose before sinking back，her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead. "I can't go，" she said without a hint of pain，yet making everyone feel that the pain was there. "It would kill him to see me.I know him so well-his pride，his ambition.Let him bear the shame alone，it's what he wants.We've got to help him keep his secret.What good will it do him to see us？"
Paddy was still weeping，not for Frank，but for the life which had gone from Fee's face，for the dying in her eyes.Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune，always stood between Fee and himself.He was the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children.Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee，Frank took it away.But Paddy's love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Frank.
So he said，"Well，Fee，we won't go.But we must make sure he is taken care of.How about if I write to Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank？"
There was no excitement in the eyes，but a faint pink stole into her cheeks. "Yes，Paddy，do that.Only make sure he knows not to tell Frank we found out.Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don't know."
（1）Which of the following is true according to the passage？
A.Frank was found guilty of murder because he was a professional boxer.
B.The family didn't find out what happened to Frank until three years later.
C.The jury and the judge disagreed on whether Frank had committed murder.
D.Frank didn't want his family to find out what happened because Paddy disliked him.
（2）Paddy didn't cry for Frank because he thought
A.Frank did kill someone and deserved the punishment
B.Frank should have told Fee what had happened
C.what had happened to Frank was killing Fee
D.Frank had always been a man of bad moral character
（3）"She half-rose before sinking back…" （in Paragraph 6）shows that
A.Fee was so heart-broken that she could hardly stand up
B.Fee didn't want to upset Paddy by visiting Frank
C.Fee couldn't leave her family to go to see Frank
D.Fee struggled between wanting to see Frank and respecting his wish
（4）What is Fee's probable relationship with Frank and Paddy？
A.Son and brother.
B.Son and husband.
C.Brother and lover.
D.Lover and husband.

According to scientists，biscuits can give you cancer.But don't worry，research shows that sunshine can cure cancer.Hang on.Ignore previous findings that suggest it might actually cause cancer.But whatever you do，don't shave，because that's been shown to increase the risk of cancer，along with other everyday household products like hairspray baby powder and sausages.It's a wonder that any of us are still alive.According to scientists，the world we live in is a death trap.
So many of my patients come to me saying how worried they are about some health scare they've heard about in the news.Though the claims seem to be backed up by scientific evidence，even a rough look brings up contradictions and inconsistencies.It's easy to blame the journalists for twisting science to chase headlines.But I've felt that is extremely unfair.The chilling fact is that these health stories come from scientists，not journalists.In fact，a study in the British Medical Journal found that many of the exaggerations（夸大的说法）that later made it into health reports originated from a press release，Over a third of the press releases，for example，made exaggerated claims of the impact of the research for humans when in fact the study was carried out on animals.A third also made exaggerated claims of causation when in fact the study found an association only.Particularly worrying was that many of the exaggerated claims appear to have been written or at least approved by scientists themselves.
But，you could argue，aren't journalists to blame for not going back to the original papers and checking out the claims themselves？
The fact is that journalists，like the public at large，have tended to believe what the scientists have told us.Why would we ever assume they'd lie？The very nature of their job is the search for the correct answer.The problem though is that they have funding to worry about and these days，an article hitting the front page headline making bold claims about your research is as important for securing future funding as getting it into top medical journals is.It's also worth mentioning that every research facility or university now has a press department to do the job.
I think that this is a good reason to make understanding and interpreting a scientific paper a fundamental part of science in school.That way we encourage more people to examine the claims themselves and，hopefully，improve the public's understanding of basic scientific principles.
Now，recent research has shown that work can increase your risk of premature death so with this in mind，I 'm signing off（结束）.
（1）What is the purpose of the first paragraph？
A.To lead in the topic of the passage.
B.To state the argument of the passage.
C.To give vivid examples of health problems.
D.To draw readers' attention to common health problems.
（2）According to British Medical Journal，which is NOT a source of exaggerated health claims？
A.Scientists write or approve the exaggerated claims.
B.Press releases apply the results of animal studies to humans.
C.Press releases switch claims of association to that of causation.
D.Journalists bend and misinterpret scientific studies to chase headlines.
（3）What solution does the writer give？
A.Scientists should be given more access to research funding.
B.Scientific articles with exaggerated headlines shouldn't be published.
C.People should learn more about science to examine the health claims.
D.Research facilities and universities should cancel their press departments.
（4）What is the writer's tone？
A.Playful.
B.Instructive.
C.Worried.
D.Optimistic.

Say No to Non-electric Cars
Most modern cities have taken action to reduce traffic jams and improve air quality.But if they want to become more livable，they should think about more ambitious goals.
Amsterdam has set a good example.As from 2030，driving a gas vehicle there will not be allowed.The Dutch capital wants its citizens to become healthier and happier. （1） .Amsterdam isn't alone；it joins Hamburg，Madrid and other cities in moving toward at least partial car bans to reduce pollution.
The advantages of such plans are clear. （2） . It slows economic growth.Pollution from cars not only contributes to climate change but is also a threat to well-being.Amsterdam's government says it reduces life expectancy of its citizens by a full year.
（3） .Electric cars，after all，are more expensive.And for most people，giving up driving means life will become less convenient.Perhaps cities can help make this switch easier.For example，they can think about improving public transportation.They can also design appealing public spaces for pedestrians （行人）. （4） .Technology can also do its part.Cities can be more open to new ways of getting around，such as bike--sharing，driverless cars and delivery drones（无人机）.
Saying no to non-electric cars or even all cars is hard. （5） .Making our cities more livable has to become an urgent goal.
A.But will everyone support such plans？
B.The government should advocate the use of electric cars.
C.Traffic jams waste huge amounts offuel and time each year.
D.Electric cars not only are energy-saving but produce little noise.
E.But let's think seriously about our well-being and that of our planet.
F.People who drive electric cars may be given discounts on parking fees.
G.One way to do is to encourage them to switch to electric cars or give up driving altogether.

home from the school she would lick her face forever.
Sadly, though, Nicole and Chloe’s time together was cut short.When Nicole was 14 her father got a
new job working from homeThat meant the house needed to be free of any noise, but Chloe was too
young and would sometimes bark loudly.She didn’t want to get rid of her dog,but she was just a kid and
didn’t have any choice in the matter.
The family decided to surrender Chloe to a humane society(保护动物协会).Before taken away, Chloe was microchipped(植入芯片),with her birth date and other essential information recorded. Saying goodbye was by no means easy Nicole felt so sick and sad about it and thought she’d never see or hear
from her ever again.In time Nicole grew up got married, and had a child of her own - but one thing was still missing.
Remembering the joy that having a dog had brought her as a kidNicole wanted her daughter to experience the same. She’d initially thought of adopting a puppy-until she ran across a post on Facebook about a senior dog needing a new home.The dog in the photograph looked a lot like Chloe-she was even named Chloe. She thought that might be a coincidence,but it was then that Nicole decided to adopt the dog - not realizing yet, of course, that two already knew each other.

作答示例
Upon meeting her “new” dog ，Nicole was struck with a strange feeling.In an instant she was almost sure that it was her old friend.And Chloe seemed to feel the same way about Nicole from the start throwing herself at her adopter and licking her face.All these characteristics just reminded her of her old dog. She was convinced that it was her though she had never thought she'd ever see her dog again. Eight years had passed since Nicole had last seen Chloe, so when she told her parents.Chloe was back they thought she missed Chloe so much that it was just her wishful thinking
But she realized there was a way to prove to her family that it was Chloe.She decided to take her new hloe to the society to be scanned so that the microchip would show the recorded information When she was told that the birth place and date were a perfect match she felt she had won the "lottery" Chloe is now 11 years old but is still as healthy and energetic as Nicole remembered her to be.Only one thing has changed-she doesn't bark a lot any longer Nicole knows that she wants to be with her forever and this time
nothing will come between them.
