Some American states are making money available for high school graduates so they can learn skills to help them get technology jobs without a college degree.
One example is the northeastern state of Connecticut. It has invested $70 million to put young people and adults through short-term training programs that can lead to good paying technology jobs.
The programs are known as “non-degree skills training.” They have helped people like Mohameth Seck, who left college after two years. Seck said he wanted to work in technology but the classes he was offered in a traditional college program “weren’t really interesting”to him. He also said traditional college takes too long to finish.
So Seck decided to enter a one-year computer training program run by a nonprofit organization. Today, the 25-year-old teaches computer coding at a skills training center, or academy, in Stamford, Connecticut. Eck said friends who finished the program also have good jobs.
Research carried out by Georgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workforce showed that people who do get a college degree earn about 84 percent more over their lifetimes. But not everyone can get into, pay for or do well in college.
David Soo leads an organization called Jobs for the Future. He said the college model that has been in place for the last 40 years does not work for everyone. And this is especially true for students who are Black, Hispanic (拉美裔美国人) or whose families do not make a lot of money. “We need to find a better way to serve those students.” Soo said.
Anthony Carnevale is the leader of Georgetown’s Center on Education and the Workforce. He said that while job training is good, it is not 100 percent correct to tell people they cannot benefit from a college degree.
One reason companies might hire college graduates is because they think they might have better communication and teamwork skills.
4. What did Seck think of the training program
A. Boring. B. Time-consuming. C. Rewarding. D. Demanding.
5. Which statement is Not true
A. Some students can’t afford to go to college.
B. Some students are incapable of getting into college.
C. The programs offer more choices to lead to a good job.
D. People cannot benefit from a college degree.
6. Who will most benefit from the short-term training programs according to David Soo
A. Minority and poor families. B. Everyone in America.
C. African-American students. D. College graduates.
7. What can be improved for the short-term training programs according to the last paragraph
A. Expanding in size. B. Being given more financial support.
C. Including interpersonal skills in the programs. D. Teaching how to write code or design websites.

As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information are people remembering less If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory,your brain Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.
In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.
In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remembered the folder location better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory (交互记忆)”.
According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organise huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn’t mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.
8. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow’s research
A. We are using memory differently.
B. We are becoming more intelligent.
C. We have poorer memories than before.
D. We need a better way to access information.
9. Why does the passage begin with two questions
A. To introduce the main topic.
B. To show the author’s attitude.
C. To describe how to use the Internet.
D. To explain how to store information.
10. What can we learn about the first experiment
A. Sparrow’s team typed the information into a computer.
B. The two groups remembered the information equally well.
C. The first group did not try to remember the information.
D. The second group did not understand the information.
11. What do people do in transactive memory
A. To keep the information in mind.
B. To change the quantity of information.
C. To organise information like a computer.
D. To remember how to find the information.
D
Fabrizio Fidati, who lost his right hand in an accident 25 years ago, had not experienced the feeling of temperature in his missing fingers until trials for a technology unlocked the cool of iced water and heat of a stove burner for him.
Eventually, the researchers hope it could lead to a more natural feeling of loved ones when he is wearing his prosthetic (义肢). With thermal electrodes( 热电极) placed on the skin of their remaining arm, amputees such as Fidati reported feeling hot or cold in their phantom(幻象) hand and fingers, as well as directly on the arm, according to the trials by the Swiss university EPFL.
The 59-year old Italian is among 27 amputees who took part in the trials, with 17 of them reporting a successful test. Those tested have also been able to differentiate between plastic, glass and copper，pointing to where they feel the feelings on images of a hand.
“By stimulating (刺激) specific parts of the remaining arm of the amputees, we could induce the sense of touch in the missing phantom hands,“ said Dr. Solaiman Shokur, a senior scientist at EPFL who co-led the study. “What they feel in this phantom hand is similar to what they feel on their undamaged hand.”
The technology, which has been tested for more than two years, does not need to be implanted. It can be worn on the skin and combined with a regular prosthetic.
Dr. Silvestro Micera, who co-led the study with Dr. Shokur, said they now wanted to test the device on a larger scale before combining it with other technologies to improve sense of touch in amputees. “We think that we could give people a better sense of embodiment of their hands and maybe even give them the possibility to feel their loved ones in a much more natural way,” Dr. Shokur added.
12. What happened to Fabrizio Fidati
A. He carried out an experiment. B. He was unable to sense iced water.
C. He accidentally lost his right hand. D. He encountered a traffic accident recently.
13. What does the underlined word“induce“ in paragraph 4 mean
A. Predict. B. Increase. C. Imagine. D. Cause.
14. What is Dr. Silvestro Micera’s plan for the near future
A. Perfecting the device. B. Cutting down on costs.
C. Employing more volunteers. D. Producing the device on a large scale.
15. Where is the text probably taken from
A. An educational speech. B. A news report.
C. A course brochure. D. A movie review.

The Comeback
Laurie sat quietly in the empty dressing room at the ice-skating rink(溜冰场). She had not been skating in any competition since her left knee was badly injured in an accident six months ago. As she waited for her turn to skate, Laurie was very nervous. She knew that today was a very important day in her comeback.
“If I can win today,” she thought, “I can skate in the World Cup next year and then maybe I can make it to the Olympics.”
Laurie was told that she had a tough competition this year, and a girl from Connecticut named Jinny Jordan who was really strong in everything. “She is the one you have to beat this year,” the coach said.
Minutes later, the door opened and Laurie saw a young woman who was about her own age. The young woman dumped some of her belongings onto a chair. The bag fell to the floor with a sound.
Laurie felt uncomfortable as she looked at Jinny. “So this is my competitor,” thought Laurie, “Because of her, I may lose tonight.”
“This costume(服装) was my mom’s idea,” Jinny started the conversation, looking down at her red, white, and blue skating dress. “ looks like a flag.”
Laurie couldn’t keep from smiling. She pointed to Jinny’s skating bag. “Something fell out of your bag,” Laurie said.
Jinny looked at the clothing and equipment that lay scattered on the floor. As she began to gather her belongings, the door opened.
“Jinny,” called someone, “You’d better give the tape of your music to the sound engineer right away.”
“I thought I gave him my music tape an hour ago,” said Jinny, “Tell him it’s the green box with my initials written in white in the right-hand corner.”
“He said you never gave it to him. and he’s getting angry.”
“Then I don’t know what I did with it,” said Jinny, hurrying out.
Laurie knew that music was nearly as important to the program as skating itself. If she lost her music tape, she might as well forget about skating. Laurie stood up and walked to the chair to do a few more knee bends.
Paragraph 1:
Suddenly she saw something small and dark green behind the leg of the dressing table.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2：
Feeling relaxed, Laurie skated quickly to the center of the rink after the announcer finally called her name.

Fabrizio Fidati, who lost his right hand in an accident 25 years ago, had not experienced the feeling of temperature in his missing fingers until trials for a technology unlocked the cool of iced water and heat of a stove burner for him.
Eventually, the researchers hope it could lead to a more natural feeling of loved ones when he is wearing his prosthetic (义肢). With thermal electrodes( 热电极) placed on the skin of their remaining arm, amputees such as Fidati reported feeling hot or cold in their phantom(幻象) hand and fingers, as well as directly on the arm, according to the trials by the Swiss university EPFL.
The 59-year old Italian is among 27 amputees who took part in the trials, with 17 of them reporting a successful test. Those tested have also been able to differentiate between plastic, glass and copper，pointing to where they feel the feelings on images of a hand.
“By stimulating (刺激) specific parts of the remaining arm of the amputees, we could induce the sense of touch in the missing phantom hands,“ said Dr. Solaiman Shokur, a senior scientist at EPFL who co-led the study. “What they feel in this phantom hand is similar to what they feel on their undamaged hand.”
The technology, which has been tested for more than two years, does not need to be implanted. It can be worn on the skin and combined with a regular prosthetic.
Dr. Silvestro Micera, who co-led the study with Dr. Shokur, said they now wanted to test the device on a larger scale before combining it with other technologies to improve sense of touch in amputees. “We think that we could give people a better sense of embodiment of their hands and maybe even give them the possibility to feel their loved ones in a much more natural way,” Dr. Shokur added.
12. What happened to Fabrizio Fidati
A. He carried out an experiment. B. He was unable to sense iced water.
C. He accidentally lost his right hand. D. He encountered a traffic accident recently.
13. What does the underlined word“induce“ in paragraph 4 mean
A. Predict. B. Increase. C. Imagine. D. Cause.
14. What is Dr. Silvestro Micera’s plan for the near future
A. Perfecting the device. B. Cutting down on costs.
C. Employing more volunteers. D. Producing the device on a large scale.
15. Where is the text probably taken from
A. An educational speech. B. A news report.
C. A course brochure. D. A movie review.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要报道的是一项新的技术给戴上假肢的人带的喜讯，描述了该装置的原理以及其测试的情况。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Fabrizio Fidati, who lost his right hand in an accident 25 years ago( Fabrizio Fidati在25年前的一次事故中失去了右手。)”可知，Fabrizio Fidati在25年前得一次意外中失去了右臂。故选C项。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“What they feel in this phantom hand is similar to what they feel on their undamaged hand.(他们在这只幻手上的感觉和他们在未受伤的手上的感觉很相似。)”可知，通过实验，这只幻手上的感觉与未受伤的手上的感觉是一样的，划线单词前的“By stimulating (刺激) specific parts of the remaining arm of the amputees(通过刺激截肢者剩余手臂的特定部位)”可知，通过刺激剩余手臂的特定部位，应该可以使在失去的手臂上产生感觉，由此可猜测，该单词的意思与“使产生”相近。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据尾段中的“Dr. Silvestro Micera, who co-led the study with Dr. Shokur, said they now wanted to test the device on a larger scale before combining it with other technologies to improve sense of touch in amputees.(与Dr. Shokur,博士共同领导这项研究的Dr. Silvestro Micera博士说，他们现在希望在将该设备与其他技术结合起来改善截肢者的触觉之前，对该设备进行更大规模的测试。)”可知，Dr. Silvestro Micera想在与其他技术联合前进行大量的测试，为了改善被截肢人的触感，由此可知，Dr. Silvestro Micera的近期计划是完善该设备。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Fabrizio Fidati, who lost his right hand in an accident 25 years ago, had not experienced the feeling of temperature in his missing fingers until trials for a technology unlocked the cool of iced water and heat of a stove burner for him.( Fabrizio Fidati在25年前的一次事故中失去了右手，直到一项技术的试验为他解锁了冰水的凉爽和炉子的热量，他才体验到失去的手指的温度感。)”可知，本文以在一次事故中失去右手的Fabrizio Fidati在一项技术测试后，让他重新感受到了温度引出本文的主题，结合下文中描述的该装技术的原理及其测试的情况可知，本文介绍的是一项技术带给戴假肢者带来的喜讯，所以本文很可能是来自于一篇新闻报道。故选B项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文，就当代大学生怎样调节学习压力和保持情感健康的问题提出了几条有益的建议。
【16题详解】
根据上文“We all know how emotionally taxing being a college student can be with difficult assignments, hundreds of pages of reading and challenging tests.(我们都知道，作为一名大学生，面对困难的作业、数百页的阅读和具有挑战性的考试，情绪上是多么费力)”可知，上文提到了情绪费力以及学业困难，本句总结上文：很难平衡大学生活和情感健康。故E选项“很难平衡大学生活和情感健康”符合语境，故选E。
【17题详解】
根据后文“When you’re really upset about something, you’re not in the right mindset to do homework. You’d better calm down before attempting anything else.(当你真的为某件事心烦意乱时，你就没有正确的心态去做作业。你最好先冷静下来再做别的事)”可知，后文提到了先冷静下来再做别的事情，即建议先休息。故F选项“不管你的理由是什么，让自己休息一下是可以的”符合语境，故选F。
【18题详解】
根据上文“●See stress as part of the college experience and relax yourself properly. When feeling stressed out, you can try giving yourself a 15-minute break between assignments to do what you like—watching videos, going for a walk, etc. If you have multiple classes that day, you can try taking the scenic route to class and enjoy the fresh air.( ●将压力视为大学生活的一部分，适当放松自己。当你感到压力很大的时候，你可以试着在作业之间给自己15分钟的休息时间，做你喜欢做的事情——看视频、散步等等。如果那天你有多节课，你可以尝试走风景优美的路线去上课，呼吸新鲜空气)”可知，上文提到了“15分钟的休息时间，做你喜欢做的事情”，上文do what you like对应G选项中Doing something you enjoy。故G选项“在工作间隙做一些你喜欢的事情真的很有帮助”符合语境，故选G。
【19题详解】
根据上文“●Remind yourself that you’re just a human. This is hard but necessary. If you’re mentally incapable of attending that class, let the professor know that you can’t go. If you’re struggling but you have lots of assignments, see if you can get extensions or attend office hours to get help so you can feel less stressed. (●提醒自己，你只是个普通人。这很难，但却是必要的。如果你精神上不能参加那门课，让教授知道你不能去。如果你正在挣扎，但你有很多任务，看看你是否可以延长或参加办公时间寻求帮助，这样你就可以减轻压力)”可知，本段主要说明了不要勉强自己，自己只是个普通人，C选项中As a person呼应上文you’re just a human，故C选项“作为一个人，你只能接受这么多”符合语境，故选C。
【20题详解】
根据后文“We have multiple places on campus for you to reach out. Don’t feel embarrassed about it. College life can be full of many things, and it’s completely normal to find yourself completely overwhelmed. But you have resources. There are lots of trusted people very willing to help you!(我们校园里有很多地方供你选择。不要为此感到尴尬。大学生活充满了很多事情，发现自己完全不知所措是很正常的。但你有资源。有很多值得信赖的人非常愿意帮助你！)”可知，下文中的reach out和 willing to help you可知，该段主要讲的是，你可以寻求他人的帮助，故B选项“记得寻求帮助”符合语境，故选B。

The Comeback
Laurie sat quietly in the empty dressing room at the ice-skating rink(溜冰场). She had not been skating in any competition since her left knee was badly injured in an accident six months ago. As she waited for her turn to skate, Laurie was very nervous. She knew that today was a very important day in her comeback.
“If I can win today,” she thought, “I can skate in the World Cup next year and then maybe I can make it to the Olympics.”
Laurie was told that she had a tough competition this year, and a girl from Connecticut named Jinny Jordan who was really strong in everything. “She is the one you have to beat this year,” the coach said.
Minutes later, the door opened and Laurie saw a young woman who was about her own age. The young woman dumped some of her belongings onto a chair. The bag fell to the floor with a sound.
Laurie felt uncomfortable as she looked at Jinny. “So this is my competitor,” thought Laurie, “Because of her, I may lose tonight.”
“This costume(服装) was my mom’s idea,” Jinny started the conversation, looking down at her red, white, and blue skating dress. “ looks like a flag.”
Laurie couldn’t keep from smiling. She pointed to Jinny’s skating bag. “Something fell out of your bag,” Laurie said.
Jinny looked at the clothing and equipment that lay scattered on the floor. As she began to gather her belongings, the door opened.
“Jinny,” called someone, “You’d better give the tape of your music to the sound engineer right away.”
“I thought I gave him my music tape an hour ago,” said Jinny, “Tell him it’s the green box with my initials written in white in the right-hand corner.”
“He said you never gave it to him. and he’s getting angry.”
“Then I don’t know what I did with it,” said Jinny, hurrying out.
Laurie knew that music was nearly as important to the program as skating itself. If she lost her music tape, she might as well forget about skating. Laurie stood up and walked to the chair to do a few more knee bends.
Paragraph 1:
Suddenly she saw something small and dark green behind the leg of the dressing table.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2：
Feeling relaxed, Laurie skated quickly to the center of the rink after the announcer finally called her name.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Suddenly she saw something small and dark green behind the leg of the dressing table. She pulled it out and saw the white Initials J.J, in the top right-hand comer. “It’s Jinny’s music tape!” She exclaimed. Laurie’s heart started beating fast. “All I’d have to do is forget that I found this,” she thought. “If Jinny doesn’t have her music, she might as well not skate. And then I would win.” Laurie shivered slightly as she thought about this. Then she wondered,“Does winning mean so much to me that I’d be willing to cheat for it ” She walked to the door and called Jinny loudly.
Feeling relaxed, Laurie skated quickly to the center of the rink after the announcer finally called her name. The music filled the stadium and she skated gracefully and beautifully. Her left knee was fine and she felt herself gliding on the ice. The audience applauded from time to time, enthusiastically supporting her in her comeback. When she finished, her coach ran up to her and hugged her. “You did it, Laurie!” She said. Laurie smiled and thought about Jinny’s music tape. “No one will ever know how close I really came to losing.” She said softly to herself.
