BKLYN House Hotel
This hotel features works by Brooklyn artists. The 116 rooms are good value and Manhattan is only 20 minutes away by taxi or subway. The immediate surroundings feel urban — the hotel is by a high-rise public housing project while the nearest commercial street is under elevated (高的) subway tracks — but Bushwick’s best bars and cafes / restaurants are nearby.
Doubles from $99, room only. Tel: 718 388 4433
Archer Hotel
Visitors eager to stay in the heart of Manhattan should try one of the bargain-priced rooms at this hotel. Rates differ from great value to expensive; some start from as low as $179 a night (if prepaying in full). Rooms are small but tasteful, with nice touches such as exposed brick. Some have close-up views of the Empire State Building.
Doubles from $199, room only. Tel: 212 719 4100
CitizenM New York Times Square
This is the first US location for a Netherlands-based concept hotel chain — CitizenM. The hotel features self check-in at its 230 little but comfortable rooms via touch screen “MoodPads”. There’s a rooftop bar, a 24-hour grab-and-go cafeteria and an area with public iMac workspaces. Although New Yorkers avoid nearby Times Square, all the lights, cameras and action can make it a fun tourist experience.

B
A decade ago, at the end of my first semester teaching at Captain, my student Jack stopped by for office hours. He sat down and burst into tears. My mind started cycling through a list of events that could make a college junior cry: His girlfriend had broken up with him; he had been accused of cheating in exams; he forgot to turn in papers before the deadline. "I just got my first A minus," he said.
Year after year, I watch in depression as students are crazy about getting straight A's. Some sacrifice their health; a few have even tried to charge their school after failure. They believe top marks are a ticket to elite graduate schools and rewarding job opportunities. I was one of them. I started college with the goal of graduating with a GPA of 4.0. It would be a reflection of my brainpower and willpower, showing that I had the right things to succeed. But I was wrong.
The evidence is clear: Across industries, research shows that the association between grades and job performance is modest in the first year after college and insignificant within a handful of years. For example, at Microsoft, once employees are two or three years out of college, their grades have nothing to do with their performance.( Of course, it must be said that if you got D's, you probably wouldn't end up at Microsoft.)
Academic grades rarely assess qualities like creativity, leadership and teamwork skills, or social, emotional and political intelligence. Yes, straight A students master large amounts of information and reproduce it in exams. But career success is rarely about finding the right solution to a problem—it's more about finding the right problem to solve. This might explain why Steve Jobs finished high school with a GPA of 2.65, and Martin Luther King Jr. got only one A in his four years at Morehouse.
4. Why did Jack feel sad？
A. His girlfriend abandoned him. B. He was caught cheating in exams.
C. He failed to get straight A's. D. He didn't hand in his paper in time.
5. What did the author once believe？
A. It was wrong to care too much about marks. B. Failure was schools' fault.
C. Marks didn't reflect willpower and brainpower. D. Top marks meant well-paid job offers.
6. Why are the employees at Microsoft mentioned？
A. To indicate academic performance is important.
B. To stress the company values employees with top marks.
C. To introduce successful examples in the technology industry.
D. To show academic excellence isn't a strong predictor of career performance.
7. What should people focus more on to succeed？
A. How to solve a problem. B. What problem to be solved.
C. How to be a creative leader. D. What to do with detailed information.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍很多学生热衷于考试得A，但是作者认为学习成绩优异并不能代表未来的成功，并说明了原因。作者最后指出事业上的成功并不在于找到解决问题的正确方法，更多的是找到需要解决的正确问题。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“‘I just got my first A minus,’ he said.(“我第一次得了A -”他说)”可知，杰克因为没有得到A+而感到难过。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“They believe top marks are a ticket to elite graduate schools and rewarding job opportunities. I was one of them. I started college with the goal of graduating with a GPA of 4.0. It would be a reflection of my brainpower and willpower, showing that I had the right things to succeed. But I was wrong. (他们认为高分是进入精英研究生院和获得有价值的工作机会的门票。我就是其中之一。我开始大学生涯的目标是以4.0的GPA毕业。这将是我的智力和意志力的反映，表明我有获得成功的正确的事情。但我错了)”可知，作者曾经相信高分意味着高薪的工作机会。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The evidence is clear: Across industries, research shows that the association between grades and job performance is modest in the first year after college and insignificant within a handful of years. For example, at Microsoft, once employees are two or three years out of college, their grades have nothing to do with their performance.( Of course, it must be said that if you got D's, you probably wouldn't end up at Microsoft.)”可知证据很明显：在各个行业中，研究表明，成绩和工作表现之间的联系在大学毕业后的第一年是适度的，在几年内也不显著。例如，在微软，一旦员工从大学毕业两三年，他们的成绩和他们的表现没有任何关系(当然，必须要说的是，如果你得了D，你可能就去不了微软了)。由此可推知，提到微软的员工是为了说明卓越的学历并不是职业表现的强有力预测。故选D。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“But career success is rarely about finding the right solution to a problem—it's more about finding the right problem to solve.(但是事业上成功并不在于找到解决问题的正确方法，更多的是找到需要解决的正确问题)”可推知，要想成功，人们应该更多地专注要解决什么问题。故选B。
C
A couple of years ago, Ashok Goel was overwhelmed by the number of questions his students were asking in his course on artificial intelligence. Goel teaches computer science at Georgia Tech, sometimes to large classes, where students can ask thousands of questions online in a discussion forum. Professor Goel already had eight teaching assistants, but that wasn’t enough to deal with the increasing number of daily questions from students.
When students feel confused and reach out with questions that go unanswered, their motivation to continue begins to fade. Professor Goel decided to do something to improve this situation and his solution was to create a virtual assistant named Jill Watson, which is based on the IBM Watson platform.
Goel and his team developed several versions of Jill Watson before releasing her to the online forums. At first, the virtual assistant wasn’t too great. But Goel and his team sourced the online discussion forum to find all the 40, 000 questions that had ever been asked since the class was launched. Then they began to feed Jill with the questions and answers. After some adjustments and enough time, Jill was able to answer the students’ questions correctly 97% of the time. The virtual assistant became so advanced and realistic that the students didn’t know she was a computer. The students, who were studying artificial intelligence, were interacting with the virtual assistant and couldn’t tell it apart from a real human being. Goel didn’t inform them about Jill’s true identity until April 26. The students were actually very positive about the experience.
The goal of Professor Goel’s virtual assistant next year is to take over answering 40% of all the questions presented by students on the online forum. The name Jill Watson will, of course, change to something else next semester. Professor Goel has a rosy outlook on the future of artificial intelligence, believing it will be widely applied.
8. What did Professor Goel find in the online course
A. The course was too difficult for students. B. Most students dropped out of his course.
C. Students’ questions were too many to handle. D. Assistants’ capacity made students unsatisfied.
9. What can be inferred about Jill Watson
A. She was easily identified as an AI. B. She turned out to be a great success.
C. She was released online as the first version. D. She could answer all the questions correctly.
10. Which is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “rosy” in Paragraph 4
A. Hopeful. B. Sensitive. C. Adventurous. D. Cautious.
11. What is the main idea of the text
A. An online computer course benefits students. B. An Al team develops online discussion forums.
C. A knowledgeable AI assists in online education. D. A new outlook promises online AI development.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了为了应对学生们日益增多的日常问题，Ashok Goel教授创建了一个名为Jill Watson的虚拟助理，并且取得了成功，学生们对这次经历非常积极。Goel教授对人工智能的未来持乐观态度，认为它将被广泛应用。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Goel teaches computer science at Georgia Tech, sometimes to large classes, where students can ask thousands of questions online in a discussion forum. Professor Goel already had eight teaching assistants, but that wasn’t enough to deal with the increasing number of daily questions from students.( Goel在佐治亚理工学院教授计算机科学，有时在大班授课，学生可以在论坛上在线提问数千个问题。Goel教授已经有了8名助教，但这还不足以应付学生们日益增多的日常问题)”可知，Goel教授在网络课程中发现学生的问题太多了。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“After some adjustments and enough time, Jill was able to answer the students’ questions correctly 97% of the time. The virtual assistant became so advanced and realistic that the students didn’t know she was a computer. The students, who were studying artificial intelligence, were interacting with the virtual assistant and couldn’t tell it apart from a real human being. Goel didn’t inform them about Jill’s true identity until April 26. The students were actually very positive about the experience.(经过一些调整和足够的时间，Jill能够回答学生的问题的正确率为97%。虚拟助理变得如此先进和现实，以至于学生们都不知道她是一台电脑。 学生们正在学习人工智能，他们与虚拟助手互动，无法区分它和真实的人。戈埃尔直到4月26日才告诉他们Jill的真实身份。学生们对这次经历非常积极)”可知，Jill Watson被证明很成功。故选B。
10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词后文“outlook on the future of artificial intelligence, believing it will be widely applied”可知，Goel教授认为人工智能将被广泛应用，可见他认为人工智能的未来是有希望的。故画线词意思是“有希望的”。A. Hopeful.有希望的；B. Sensitive.敏感的；C. Adventurous.冒险的；D. Cautious.谨慎的。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Professor Goel decided to do something to improve this situation and his solution was to create a virtual assistant named Jill Watson, which is based on the IBM Watson platform.(Goel教授决定做些事情来改善这种情况，他的解决方案是创建一个名为Jill Watson的虚拟助理，该虚拟助理基于IBM Watson平台)”结合文章主要说明了为了应对学生们日益增多的日常问题，Ashok Goel教授创建了一个名为Jill Watson的虚拟助理，并且取得了成功，学生们对这次经历非常积极。Goel教授对人工智能的未来持乐观态度，认为它将被广泛应用。可知，这篇文章的主旨是知识渊博的人工智能帮助在线教育。故选C。
D
We live in a techno logical society where most goods are mass-produced by unskilled labor. Because of this, most people think that craft(手艺) no longer exists.
One of the ways these people wrongly support their view is by pointing to 100-year-old homes which are still solid, and arguing that it is the craftsmanship that is responsible for their durability(持久性). “Homes in those days were well-built,”they say. No doubt these homes were well-built, but what these people have done is mix up the quality of material used in the house with the quality of the craftsmanship.
Homes today could be built to last just as long as those old homes if people were willing or able to pay the price. For example, more people can no longer afford solid oak stairways, although they were once fairly common in older homes. Nor can they afford the high labor cost of employing a carpenter to build the stairway. Yet if someone can pay the high cost, there are still plenty of carpenters around able to make those stairways. And not only would these carpenters know how to build them, they would probably do a better job than carpenters of old.
One thing the modern carpenter has which enables him to do a better job is much more advanced tools. Such tools as laser beams and power planes help them lay out a house better and make more precision cuts(精确切割)on the wood. Also, it is not uncommon any more to find carpenters with college degrees and carpenters with a solid knowledge of mathematics, which would enable them to deal with more difficult house designs.
The problem of modern quality, then, really boils down to the problem of material, for the modern carpenter is just as able to produce craftsmanship as the carpenter of fifty years ago, but only if given proper material.
12. Compared to the carpenters in the past, modern carpenters are__________.
A. more successful B. more learned
C. more imaginative D. more hardworking
13. What does the underlined word “they” (paragraph2) refer to
A. Carpenters who are fond of oak stairways.
B. Carpenters who have college degrees.
C. people who think highly of carpenters of old
D. people who think that modern material is of low quality.
14. What does the third paragraph mainly discuss
A. People in the past preferred to use oak to build stairways.
B. It is now expensive to employ a carpenter.
C. Modern houses last as long as the old one.
D. Good carpenters still exist in modern times.
15. What would be the best title for the text
A. Is Craft Dead
B. Craft, Back to Life
C. History of Craftsmanship
D. Carpenters Today and Yesterday
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了木匠这门手艺并没有消亡，现代也有好木匠。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Also, it is not uncommon any more to find carpenters with college degrees and carpenters with a solid knowledge of mathematics, which would enable them to deal with more difficult house designs.”（此外，拥有大学学历的木匠和数学知识扎实的木匠也不再罕见，这将使他们能够处理更困难的房屋设计）可知，现代的木匠比过去的木匠更有学问。故选B。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“One of the ways these people wrongly support their view is by pointing to 100-year-old homes which are still solid, and arguing that it is the craftsmanship that is responsible for their durability(持久性).“Homes in those days were well-built,” they say.”（这些人错误地支持他们观点的一种方式是，指着仍然坚固的有100年历史的房子，并认为是工艺造就了它们的耐用性。他们说：“那时的房子建得很好。”）可知，“他们”指代的是“推崇古代木匠的人”，故选C。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段最后一句“And not only would these carpenters know how to build them, they would probably do a better job than carpenters of old.”（这些木匠不仅知道如何建造它们，而且可能比以前的木匠做得更好）可知，本段主要讲的是好木匠在现代仍然存在，故选D。
【15题详解】
A主旨大意题。 通读全文，特别是根据第一段第二句“Because of this, most people think that craft no longer exists.”（正因为如此，大多数人认为这种手艺已经不复存在）以及最后一段“The problem of modern quality, then, really boils down to the problem of material, for the modern carpenter is just as able to produce craftsmanship as the carpenter of fifty years ago, but only if given proper material.”（那么，现代质量的问题实际上可以归结为材料的问题，因为现代木匠和50年前的木匠一样能够制作工艺，但前提是要有合适的材料）可知，文章主要介绍的是木匠这门手艺并没有消亡，现代也有好木匠，故选A。
七选五(共5个小题，每小题2.5分)
Every year in late April, students at Renmin University of China become the subjects of admiration and jealousy of their peers on other campuses in Beijing.
Why ____16____ It has been a unique tradition of Renmin University for a decade.
Experts say the spring break is not just for students to enjoy a few days off, but for them to gain new experiences beyond the campus walls.
Push them out
The traditional Chinese belief of the exploration of knowledge and truth emphasizes “reading 10,000 books and travelling 10,000 miles”. ____17____ But while Chinese universities have the tradition of spring outings, what’s the benefit of making spring break an institution
Qin Jianguo, from Shenzhen University, thinks the idea of the spring break in some universities in China comes from the intention of pushing students out of the ivory tower to experience more diversity in their lives. He said. “A week traveling is a very different experience to a one-or two-day outing. When put out in an unfamiliar context, students are expected to acquire the spirit of teamwork and compromise. ____18____”
Diverse approaches
Many countries have similar vacations in the middle of the semester for students to do things out of their own interest. Instead of partying like their US counterparts, many Japanese students choose to work as interns or engage in study-related projects.
____19____ Pan Yingzhao, 22, majoring in finance at Renmin University of China, participated in a social project on the theme of “The Chinese Dream”. She and her teammates interviewed people on the street to see how they understood “The Chinese Dream”.
____20____
Apart from Renmin University, only a few other universities, have a spring break for their students. The concept in China is still far from the culture and norms built around it in the US.
Wei Xiang, a professor of Beijing International Studies University, said that the spring break is a good experiment for universities to make study schedules smoother in order to give students more options to arrange their own leisure and study activities.
A. Not a legend
B. Not a trend yet
C. As for Chinese students, many tend to do volunteer work.
D. They have to learn survival and communication skills as well.
E. It does indicate the importance of experience as much as theory.
F. Because they get a week off in the middle of tern, the so-called spring break.
G. To sum up, a spring break helps students expand their horizons and improve ability.
【答案】16. F 17. E 18. D 19. C 20. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了中国有几所大学实行春假，并讲述了春假的好处等。
【16题详解】
根据下文“It has been a unique tradition of Renmin University for a decade.(这是人民大学十年来独特的传统。)”可知，空处会提到中国人民大学的一个传统，而这个传统是其他学校学生所羡慕的。选项F“Because they get a week off in the middle of tern, the so-called spring break.(因为他们在学期中期有一周的假期，也就是所谓的春假。)”中的“because”回答了空前的“why”，同时也介绍了人大的传统就是有春假。故选F。
【17题详解】
根据空前内容“The traditional Chinese belief of the exploration of knowledge and truth emphasizes “reading 10,000 books and travelling 10,000 miles”.(中国探索知识和真理的传统信仰强调“读万卷书，行万里路”。)”可知，中国自古以来就强调“读万卷书，行万里路”。选项E“It does indicate the importance of experience as much as theory.(这确实表明经验和理论一样重要。)”是上文内容的自然延续，说明了中国自古强调的“读万卷书，行万里路”其实就是表明经验和理论一样重要。故选E。
【18题详解】
根据空前内容“He said, “A week traveling is a very different experience to a one-or two-day outing. When put out in an unfamiliar context, students are expected to acquire the spirit of teamwork and compromise.(他说：“一周的旅行与一两天的郊游是完全不同的体验。在不熟悉的环境中，学生应该学会团队合作和妥协的精神。)”可知，上文提到的是学生在不熟悉的环境中应该学会的技能。选项D“They have to learn survival and communication skills as well.(他们还必须学习生存和沟通技巧。)”是上文内容的延续，继续说明学生在陌生的环境应该学会的技巧。故选D。
【19题详解】
根据空后内容“Pan Yingzhao, 22, majoring in finance at Renmin University of China, participated in a social project on the theme of “The Chinese Dream”. She and her teammates interviewed people on the street to see how they understood “The Chinese Dream”(就读于中国人民大学金融专业、22岁的潘颖钊参加了一个以“中国梦”为主题的社会项目。她和她的队友在街上采访人们，看看他们是如何理解“中国梦”的。)”可推断出，大学生愿意做志愿者工作。选项C“As for Chinese students, many tend to do volunteer work.(对于中国学生来说，很多人倾向于做志愿者工作。)”与下文内容一致，指的都是中国的学生倾向于做志愿者工作。故选C。
【20题详解】
空处为小标题，为本段主要内容。根据下文内容“Apart from Renmin University, only a few other universities, have a spring break for their students. The concept in China is still far from the culture and norms built around it in the US.(除了人民大学，只有少数几所大学给学生放春假。中国的这一概念与美国围绕它建立的文化和规范仍有很大差距。)”可知，目前放春假的大学并不多。选项B“Not a trend yet(还不是趋势)”指的正是放春假目前在中国还不是发展趋势，与下文内容一致。故选B。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。讲述了我们日常使用的塑料瓶中含有BPA这种有害成分，最安全的方式是使用玻璃制品，并介绍了使用塑料瓶的注意事项。
【36题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：我们都知道干净的水对健康很重要。但我们现在也知道了需要关注把水放在什么地方保存。通过分析句子结构可知此句为宾语从句，从句中缺少宾语，应使用关系代词what引导。故填what。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：塑料瓶是用叫做BPA的危险物质硬化的，这种物质会在水中释放对身体有害的物质。通过分析句子结构可知，句中存在谓语动词can release，且material与call之间为被动关系，因此横线上需使用过去分词called形式。故填called。
【38题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：自从2011年起，很多国家就禁止在食物容器和婴儿奶瓶中使用BPA了。句首有时间状语since 2011表明此句应使用现在完成时，使用过去分词形式have banned。故填have banned。

【42题详解】
考查非限定性定语从句。句意：用来喝水最好的材质是玻璃，它不含对身体有害的物质。通过分析句子结构可知，此句为非限定性定语从句，先行词是glass，在从句中作主语，使用关系词which引导定语从句。故填which。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意：用来喝水的容器另一个好选择是不锈钢。根据语境翻译可知，此处所填词意为用来或作为，结合句子结构分析可知，应填入介词for/as表示“用来/作为”。故填for/as。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：不锈钢杯比铝杯好，铝杯含有一层塑料用来防止金属锈蚀。通过分析句子结构可知，从句中已存在谓语动词are covered，因此横线上需使用非谓语动词，且plastic与protect之间为目的性关系，需使用不定式to protect形式。故填to protect。
【45题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：如果决定了使用能反复利用的塑料瓶，要避开阳光使用。avoid doing sth.为固定搭配意为“避免做...”因此使用keep的动名词形式keeping。故填keeping。

BKLYN House Hotel

A decade ago, at the end of my first semester teaching at Captain, my student Jack stopped by for office hours. He sat down and burst into tears. My mind started cycling through a list of events that could make a college junior cry: His girlfriend had broken up with him; he had been accused of cheating in exams; he forgot to turn in papers before the deadline. "I just got my first A minus," he said.
Year after year, I watch in depression as students are crazy about getting straight A's. Some sacrifice their health; a few have even tried to charge their school after failure. They believe top marks are a ticket to elite graduate schools and rewarding job opportunities. I was one of them. I started college with the goal of graduating with a GPA of 4.0. It would be a reflection of my brainpower and willpower, showing that I had the right things to succeed. But I was wrong.
The evidence is clear: Across industries, research shows that the association between grades and job performance is modest in the first year after college and insignificant within a handful of years. For example, at Microsoft, once employees are two or three years out of college, their grades have nothing to do with their performance.( Of course, it must be said that if you got D's, you probably wouldn't end up at Microsoft.)
Academic grades rarely assess qualities like creativity, leadership and teamwork skills, or social, emotional and political intelligence. Yes, straight A students master large amounts of information and reproduce it in exams. But career success is rarely about finding the right solution to a problem—it's more about finding the right problem to solve. This might explain why Steve Jobs finished high school with a GPA of 2.65, and Martin Luther King Jr. got only one A in his four years at Morehouse.
4. Why did Jack feel sad？
A. His girlfriend abandoned him. B. He was caught cheating in exams.
C. He failed to get straight A's. D. He didn't hand in his paper in time.
5. What did the author once believe？
A. It was wrong to care too much about marks. B. Failure was schools' fault.
C. Marks didn't reflect willpower and brainpower. D. Top marks meant well-paid job offers.
6. Why are the employees at Microsoft mentioned？
A. To indicate academic performance is important.
B. To stress the company values employees with top marks.
C. To introduce successful examples in the technology industry.
D. To show academic excellence isn't a strong predictor of career performance.
7. What should people focus more on to succeed？
A. How to solve a problem. B. What problem to be solved.
C How to be a creative leader. D. What to do with detailed information.
C
A couple of years ago, Ashok Goel was overwhelmed by the number of questions his students were asking in his course on artificial intelligence. Goel teaches computer science at Georgia Tech, sometimes to large classes, where students can ask thousands of questions online in a discussion forum. Professor Goel already had eight teaching assistants, but that wasn’t enough to deal with the increasing number of daily questions from students.
When students feel confused and reach out with questions that go unanswered, their motivation to continue begins to fade. Professor Goel decided to do something to improve this situation and his solution was to create a virtual assistant named Jill Watson, which is based on the IBM Watson platform.
Goel and his team developed several versions of Jill Watson before releasing her to the online forums. At first, the virtual assistant wasn’t too great. But Goel and his team sourced the online discussion forum to find all the 40, 000 questions that had ever been asked since the class was launched. Then they began to feed Jill with the questions and answers. After some adjustments and enough time, Jill was able to answer the students’ questions correctly 97% of the time. The virtual assistant became so advanced and realistic that the students didn’t know she was a computer. The students, who were studying artificial intelligence, were interacting with the virtual assistant and couldn’t tell it apart from a real human being. Goel didn’t inform them about Jill’s true identity until April 26. The students were actually very positive about the experience.
The goal of Professor Goel’s virtual assistant next year is to take over answering 40% of all the questions presented by students on the online forum. The name Jill Watson will, of course, change to something else next semester. Professor Goel has a rosy outlook on the future of artificial intelligence, believing it will be widely applied.
8. What did Professor Goel find in the online course
A. The course was too difficult for students. B. Most students dropped out of his course.
C. Students’ questions were too many to handle. D. Assistants’ capacity made students unsatisfied.
9. What can be inferred about Jill Watson
A. She was easily identified as an AI. B. She turned out to be a great success.
C. She was released online as the first version. D. She could answer all the questions correctly.
10. Which is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “rosy” in Paragraph 4
A. Hopeful. B. Sensitive. C. Adventurous. D. Cautious.
11. What is the main idea of the text
A. An online computer course benefits students. B. An Al team develops online discussion forums.
C. A knowledgeable AI assists in online education. D. A new outlook promises online AI development.
D
We live in a techno logical society where most goods are mass-produced by unskilled labor. Because of this, most people think that craft(手艺) no longer exists.
One of the ways these people wrongly support their view is by pointing to 100-year-old homes which are still solid, and arguing that it is the craftsmanship that is responsible for their durability(持久性). “Homes in those days were well-built,”they say. No doubt these homes were well-built, but what these people have done is mix up the quality of material used in the house with the quality of the craftsmanship.
Homes today could be built to last just as long as those old homes if people were willing or able to pay the price. For example, more people can no longer afford solid oak stairways, although they were once fairly common in older homes. Nor can they afford the high labor cost of employing a carpenter to build the stairway. Yet if someone can pay the high cost, there are still plenty of carpenters around able to make those stairways. And not only would these carpenters know how to build them, they would probably do a better job than carpenters of old.
One thing the modern carpenter has which enables him to do a better job is much more advanced tools. Such tools as laser beams and power planes help them lay out a house better and make more precision cuts(精确切割)on the wood. Also, it is not uncommon any more to find carpenters with college degrees and carpenters with a solid knowledge of mathematics, which would enable them to deal with more difficult house designs.
The problem of modern quality, then, really boils down to the problem of material, for the modern carpenter is just as able to produce craftsmanship as the carpenter of fifty years ago, but only if given proper material.
12. Compared to the carpenters in the past, modern carpenters are__________.
A. more successful B. more learned
C. more imaginative D. more hardworking
13. What does the underlined word “they” (paragraph2) refer to
A. Carpenters who are fond of oak stairways.
B. Carpenters who have college degrees.
C. people who think highly of carpenters of old
D. people who think that modern material is of low quality.
14. What does the third paragraph mainly discuss
A. People in the past preferred to use oak to build stairways.
B. It is now expensive to employ a carpenter.
C. Modern houses last as long as the old one.
D. Good carpenters still exist in modern times.
15. What would be the best title for the text
A. Is Craft Dead
B. Craft, Back to Life
C. History of Craftsmanship
D. Carpenters Today and Yesterday
七选五(共5个小题，每小题2.5分)
Every year in late April, students at Renmin University of China become the subjects of admiration and jealousy of their peers on other campuses in Beijing.
Why ____16____ It has been a unique tradition of Renmin University for a decade.
Experts say the spring break is not just for students to enjoy a few days off, but for them to gain new experiences beyond the campus walls.
Push them out
The traditional Chinese belief of the exploration of knowledge and truth emphasizes “reading 10,000 books and travelling 10,000 miles”. ____17____ But while Chinese universities have the tradition of spring outings, what’s the benefit of making spring break an institution
Qin Jianguo, from Shenzhen University, thinks the idea of the spring break in some universities in China comes from the intention of pushing students out of the ivory tower to experience more diversity in their lives. He said. “A week traveling is a very different experience to a one-or two-day outing. When put out in an unfamiliar context, students are expected to acquire the spirit of teamwork and compromise. ____18____”
Diverse approaches
Many countries have similar vacations in the middle of the semester for students to do things out of their own interest. Instead of partying like their US counterparts, many Japanese students choose to work as interns or engage in study-related projects.
____19____ Pan Yingzhao, 22, majoring in finance at Renmin University of China, participated in a social project on the theme of “The Chinese Dream”. She and her teammates interviewed people on the street to see how they understood “The Chinese Dream”.
____20____
Apart from Renmin University, only a few other universities, have a spring break for their students. The concept in China is still far from the culture and norms built around it in the US.
Wei Xiang, a professor of Beijing International Studies University, said that the spring break is a good experiment for universities to make study schedules smoother in order to give students more options to arrange their own leisure and study activities.
A. Not a legend
B. Not a trend yet
C. As for Chinese students, many tend to do volunteer work.
D. They have to learn survival and communication skills as well.
E It does indicate the importance of experience as much as theory.
F. Because they get a week off in the middle of tern, the so-called spring break.
G. To sum up, a spring break helps students expand their horizons and improve ability.
