In my last semester of college in the US, I struggled with the decision to move to New York to pursue an advertising career, or to stay in Florida to be near my loved ones. While I preferred the latter, everyone kept telling me if I didn’t go to New York, I would never make anything of myself — I would not make achievements in career. Although those statements made my blood boil, I still decided to stay in Florida.
I accepted a marketing coordinator (协调员) position with Coton Colors. I knew the company was growing fast, so it felt like a great place to begin my career. In Coton Colors, I tried to establish myself. I took on basic marketing tasks like helping with small campaigns or simple design. I started undertaking more tasks and discovering things I liked and excelled in. I continued to ask for more responsibilities, and before I knew it, I was leading meetings, directing support staff and taking off in my position.
I started getting in contact with some of my New York classmates. It seemed that most of them were still assistants running to get coffee and make copies, without getting any useful experience. Those conversations helped me realize that I was in control of my own career. I didn’t need to move to a big city to become an important part of a successful team — I was already part of one. I went to the CEO and asked to create and lead an events team. After only a few months, I worked around the clock to grow this branch while also continuing to maintain my regular job duties. In the end, all of my hard work and devotion paid off. I have watched myself grow from an entry-level college student to a valued member of a powerful management team. I have overcome many stereotypes (刻板印象) of my generation with my hard work and positive attitude.
4. What does the underlined phrase “make anything of myself” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Help a person find a job. B. Help a person reach a place.
C. Make a person feel excited. D. Make oneself succeed in one’s career.
5. Which of the following best describes the author’s job in Florida
A. Promising B. Stressful. C. Peaceful. D. Well-paid.
6. What contributed most to the author’s success according to the text
A. Her talent in marketing. B. Her good luck in the work.
C. Her devotion to all her tasks. D. Her help with complex designs.
7. What does the author intend to tell us with the story
A. Make decisions suitable for yourselves.
B. Stay positive despite difficulties we meet.
C. Working hard helps you get more famous.
D. Starting a career in small cities is the best choice.
C
Babies blink and cry — and a few weeks into their lives, they might smile. But do these movements mean that newborns have conscious (有意识的) experiences of understanding the world around them
Based on recent studies valuing babies’ brain activities and eye movements, the case for consciousness in newborns is increasingly strong. “We still don’t have a final answer, but new evidence has contributed to an increasing agreement that consciousness starts early, in comparison with other theories that claim we need more cognitive (认知的) development for babies to become conscious,” says Ferreira, professor of bi ology at the NYU School.
This new evidence for consciousness relies on methods that creatively value brain activity in newborns. Babies can’t respond to directions and sleep quite a bit, making their minds difficult to study. Ferreira’s new article discusses the new ways that scientists value whether babies are conscious: measuring brainwave responses to unexpected sounds, using imaging to value the brain’s networks, and tracking eye movements such as blinks to see how babies react to different stimuli (刺激).
Knowing when and how consciousness arises is really important for parents’ relationships with babies. Parents usually already believe that their babies are conscious creatures and can experience suffering and pleasure. They try to make their babies comfortable and make sure that they have a better environment for their development. If we have a better understanding about babies’ conscious minds, we may be able to better the way we relate to babies.
This may also be useful for baby care. Until quite recently, people thought that babies needed more brain development to be able to feel pain. Now we know that even though the baby brain is still developing, the feeling of pain seems to already be there.
8. How did Ferreira get the new evidence
A. By measuring babies’ brain activity. B. By searching for related experience.
C. By collecting unknown sounds. D. By comparing different pictures.
9. What is the challenge of studying consciousness in babies
A. Behavior observation is unreliable.
B. Babies can’t follow researcher’s directions.
C. Babies’ sleep state is completely different.
D. Valuing the brain’s networks is not scientific.
10. What does the underlined word “This” in the last paragraph refer to
A. Tracking brains’ networks.
B. The ways of stimulating eyes.
C. Understanding how and when consciousness appears.
D. Parents’ previous belief on taking care of kids.
11. What does the author imply in the last two paragraphs
A. Our knowledge of baby consciousness needs improvement.
B. The development of brain causes the feeling of pain.
C. A comfortable environment cannot be ignored.
D. The quality of present baby care is of low level.
D
For thousands of years, humans have explored (探索) the Earth. Nowadays, we are exploring space. Astronomers (天文学家) are modern-day explorers. Now, many astronomers are looking for new planets and new places of humans to live in the future. But where do astronomers start looking
First of all astronomers look for a star. That’s because our own Earth moves around a star the Sun. More importantly, it is the correct distance (距离) from the Sun for heat and light. So when astronomers have found the star, they look at the planets around it. In recent years, astronomers have found nearly 400 new planets with stars. However, many of these planets are either too near to the star or too far away.
However, if the planet is in a good position, astronomers look for three key things: water, air and rock. Water is important because all life needs water. Humans can drink it and they can also grow plants with water. And plants produce air for humans to breathe and food to eat. Rock on a planet is also important. That’s because there is often water under the rock.
After many years of scrutinizing, astronomers have found a planet that is similar to the Earth. It’s Gliese 581g and it’s near a star. The astronomers think it has water and rock and the average (平均的) temperature is between-31℃ and -12℃. That’s cold, but not colder than Antarctica or Arctic Circle, for example, Gliese 581g is bigger than the Earth. A year on Gliese 581g is only 37 Earth days instead of 365. But astronomers do not think there are big differences and some them thing Gliese 581g will be a new Earth. However, Gliese 581g is twenty light years from the Earth.
12. What do astronomers have to find first before starting to look for a new place for humans to have
A. A new planet B. A new star C. Some heat D. Some light
13. What does the rock on a planet tell us
A. We may discover water under it
B. The star is a right position
C. The planet is too near to the Sun
D. There can be air around the rock
14. What does the underlined word “scrutinizing” mean in the last paragraph
A. discussing B. waiting C. traveling D. looking
15. What’s the main idea of the text
A. Gliese 581g is already a new Earth
B. There are planets similar to our Earth
C. Astronomers are looking for a new Earth
D. Water, air and rock are important

We’re not so different after all.

Babies blink and cry — and a few weeks into their lives, they might smile. But do these movements mean that newborns have conscious (有意识的) experiences of understanding the world around them
Based on recent studies valuing babies’ brain activities and eye movements, the case for consciousness in newborns is increasingly strong. “We still don’t have a final answer, but new evidence has contributed to an increasing agreement that consciousness starts early, in comparison with other theories that claim we need more cognitive (认知的) development for babies to become conscious,” says Ferreira, professor of bi ology at the NYU School.
This new evidence for consciousness relies on methods that creatively value brain activity in newborns. Babies can’t respond to directions and sleep quite a bit, making their minds difficult to study. Ferreira’s new article discusses the new ways that scientists value whether babies are conscious: measuring brainwave responses to unexpected sounds, using imaging to value the brain’s networks, and tracking eye movements such as blinks to see how babies react to different stimuli (刺激).
Knowing when and how consciousness arises is really important for parents’ relationships with babies. Parents usually already believe that their babies are conscious creatures and can experience suffering and pleasure. They try to make their babies comfortable and make sure that they have a better environment for their development. If we have a better understanding about babies’ conscious minds, we may be able to better the way we relate to babies.
This may also be useful for baby care. Until quite recently, people thought that babies needed more brain development to be able to feel pain. Now we know that even though the baby brain is still developing, the feeling of pain seems to already be there.
8. How did Ferreira get the new evidence
A. By measuring babies’ brain activity. B. By searching for related experience.
C. By collecting unknown sounds. D. By comparing different pictures.
9. What is the challenge of studying consciousness in babies
A. Behavior observation is unreliable.
B. Babies can’t follow researcher’s directions.
C. Babies’ sleep state is completely different.
D. Valuing the brain’s networks is not scientific.
10. What does the underlined word “This” in the last paragraph refer to
A. Tracking brains’ networks.
B. The ways of stimulating eyes.
C. Understanding how and when consciousness appears.
D. Parents’ previous belief on taking care of kids.
11. What does the author imply in the last two paragraphs
A. Our knowledge of baby consciousness needs improvement.
B. The development of brain causes the feeling of pain.
C. A comfortable environment cannot be ignored.
D. The quality of present baby care is of low level.

For thousands of years, humans have explored (探索) the Earth. Nowadays, we are exploring space. Astronomers (天文学家) are modern-day explorers. Now, many astronomers are looking for new planets and new places of humans to live in the future. But where do astronomers start looking
First of all, astronomers look for a star. That’s because our own Earth moves around a star the Sun. More importantly, it is the correct distance (距离) from the Sun for heat and light. So when astronomers have found the star, they look at the planets around it. In recent years, astronomers have found nearly 400 new planets with stars. However, many of these planets are either too near to the star or too far away.
However, if the planet is in a good position, astronomers look for three key things: water, air and rock. Water is important because all life needs water. Humans can drink it and they can also grow plants with water. And plants produce air for humans to breathe and food to eat. Rock on a planet is also important. That’s because there is often water under the rock.
After many years of scrutinizing, astronomers have found a planet that is similar to the Earth. It’s Gliese 581g and it’s near a star. The astronomers think it has water and rock and the average (平均的) temperature is between-31℃ and -12℃. That’s cold, but not colder than Antarctica or Arctic Circle, for example, Gliese 581g is bigger than the Earth. A year on Gliese 581g is only 37 Earth days instead of 365. But astronomers do not think there are big differences and some them thing Gliese 581g will be a new Earth. However, Gliese 581g is twenty light years from the Earth.
12. What do astronomers have to find first before starting to look for a new place for humans to have
A. A new planet B. A new star C. Some heat D. Some light
13 What does the rock on a planet tell us
A. We may discover water under it
B. The star is a right position
C. The planet is too near to the Sun
D. There can be air around the rock
14. What does the underlined word “scrutinizing” mean in the last paragraph
A. discussing B. waiting C. traveling D. looking
15. What’s the main idea of the text
A. Gliese 581g is already a new Earth
B. There are planets similar to our Earth
C. Astronomers are looking for a new Earth
D. Water, air and rock are important

Four-Day Tour in Shangri-La
Day 1 Arrival in Dukezong Ancient Town
You will be met upon arrival at Shangri-La Airport and taken by bus for about 25 minutes. Have an expensive buffet dinner at a 4-star, the Grand Shangri-La hotel.

In the evening, you can enjoy local Tibetan folk dance if you are energetic.
Day 2 Songzanlin Temple
You will leave the hotel at 8:30 for the Songzanlin temple by bus. Once home to 4000 monks, the temple is undergoing a massive restoration. Late in the afternoon, you will visit NaPa Sea where you can see different kinds of birds.
Day 3 Potatso National Park
Enjoy the natural beauty of nature by bus. Located 22m east of Shangri-La, Potatso is the first national park in mainland China. In Tibetan language, Potatso means reaching the opposite side of the lake by boat under the help of spirit. You will stay in the park around 3 hours.

In my last semester of college in the US, I struggled with the decision to move to New York to pursue an advertising career, or to stay in Florida to be near my loved ones. While I preferred the latter, everyone kept telling me if I didn’t go to New York, I would never make anything of myself — I would not make achievements in career. Although those statements made my blood boil, I still decided to stay in Florida.
I accepted a marketing coordinator (协调员) position with Coton Colors. I knew the company was growing fast, so it felt like a great place to begin my career. In Coton Colors, I tried to establish myself. I took on basic marketing tasks like helping with small campaigns or simple design. I started undertaking more tasks and discovering things I liked and excelled in. I continued to ask for more responsibilities, and before I knew it, I was leading meetings, directing support staff and taking off in my position.
I started getting in contact with some of my New York classmates. It seemed that most of them were still assistants running to get coffee and make copies, without getting any useful experience. Those conversations helped me realize that I was in control of my own career. I didn’t need to move to a big city to become an important part of a successful team — I was already part of one. I went to the CEO and asked to create and lead an events team. After only a few months, I worked around the clock to grow this branch while also continuing to maintain my regular job duties. In the end, all of my hard work and devotion paid off. I have watched myself grow from an entry-level college student to a valued member of a powerful management team. I have overcome many stereotypes (刻板印象) of my generation with my hard work and positive attitude.
4. What does the underlined phrase “make anything of myself” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Help a person find a job. B. Help a person reach a place.
C. Make a person feel excited. D. Make oneself succeed in one’s career.
5. Which of the following best describes the author’s job in Florida
A. Promising B. Stressful. C. Peaceful. D. Well-paid.
6. What contributed most to the author’s success according to the text
A. Her talent in marketing. B. Her good luck in the work.
C. Her devotion to all her tasks. D. Her help with complex designs.
7. What does the author intend to tell us with the story
A. Make decisions suitable for yourselves.
B. Stay positive despite difficulties we meet.
C. Working hard helps you get more famous.
D. Starting a career in small cities is the best choice.

In my last semester of college in the US, I struggled with the decision to move to New York to pursue an advertising career, or to stay in Florida to be near my loved ones. While I preferred the latter, everyone kept telling me if I didn’t go to New York, I would never make anything of myself — I would not make achievements in career. Although those statements made my blood boil, I still decided to stay in Florida.
I accepted a marketing coordinator (协调员) position with Coton Colors. I knew the company was growing fast, so it felt like a great place to begin my career. In Coton Colors, I tried to establish myself. I took on basic marketing tasks like helping with small campaigns or simple design. I started undertaking more tasks and discovering things I liked and excelled in. I continued to ask for more responsibilities, and before I knew it, I was leading meetings, directing support staff and taking off in my position.
I started getting in contact with some of my New York classmates. It seemed that most of them were still assistants, running to get coffee and make copies, without getting any useful experience. Those conversations helped me realize that I was in control of my own career. I didn’t need to move to a big city to become an important part of a successful team — I was already part of one. I went to the CEO and asked to create and lead an events team. After only a few months, I worked around the clock to grow this branch while also continuing to maintain my regular job duties. In the end, all of my hard work and devotion paid off. I have watched myself grow from an entry-level college student to a valued member of a powerful management team. I have overcome many stereotypes (刻板印象) of my generation with my hard work and positive attitude.
4. What does the underlined phrase “make anything of myself” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Help a person find a job. B. Help a person reach a place.
C. Make a person feel excited. D. Make oneself succeed in one’s career.
5. Which of the following best describes the author’s job in Florida
A. Promising B. Stressful. C. Peaceful. D. Well-paid.
6. What contributed most to the author’s success according to the text
A. Her talent in marketing. B. Her good luck in the work.
C. Her devotion to all her tasks. D. Her help with complex designs.
7. What does the author intend to tell us with the story
A. Make decisions suitable for yourselves.
B. Stay positive despite difficulties we meet.
C. Working hard helps you get more famous.
D. Starting a career in small cities is the best choice.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. A
C
Babies blink and cry — and a few weeks into their lives, they might smile. But do these movements mean that newborns have conscious (有意识的) experiences of understanding the world around them
Based on recent studies valuing babies’ brain activities and eye movements, the case for consciousness in newborns is increasingly strong. “We still don’t have a final answer, but new evidence has contributed to an increasing agreement that consciousness starts early, in comparison with other theories that claim we need more cognitive (认知的) development for babies to become conscious,” says Ferreira, professor of bi ology at the NYU School.
This new evidence for consciousness relies on methods that creatively value brain activity in newborns. Babies can’t respond to directions and sleep quite a bit, making their minds difficult to study. Ferreira’s new article discusses the new ways that scientists value whether babies are conscious: measuring brainwave responses to unexpected sounds, using imaging to value the brain’s networks, and tracking eye movements such as blinks to see how babies react to different stimuli (刺激).
Knowing when and how consciousness arises is really important for parents’ relationships with babies. Parents usually already believe that their babies are conscious creatures and can experience suffering and pleasure. They try to make their babies comfortable and make sure that they have a better environment for their development. If we have a better understanding about babies’ conscious minds, we may be able to better the way we relate to babies.
This may also be useful for baby care. Until quite recently, people thought that babies needed more brain development to be able to feel pain. Now we know that even though the baby brain is still developing, the feeling of pain seems to already be there.
8. How did Ferreira get the new evidence
A. By measuring babies’ brain activity. B. By searching for related experience.
C. By collecting unknown sounds. D. By comparing different pictures.
9. What is the challenge of studying consciousness in babies
A. Behavior observation is unreliable.
B. Babies can’t follow researcher’s directions.
C. Babies’ sleep state is completely different.
D. Valuing the brain’s networks is not scientific.
10. What does the underlined word “This” in the last paragraph refer to
A. Tracking brains’ networks.
B. The ways of stimulating eyes.
C. Understanding how and when consciousness appears.
D. Parents’ previous belief on taking care of kids.
11. What does the author imply in the last two paragraphs
A. Our knowledge of baby consciousness needs improvement.
B. The development of brain causes the feeling of pain.
C. A comfortable environment cannot be ignored.
D. The quality of present baby care is of low level.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. A
D
For thousands of years, humans have explored (探索) the Earth. Nowadays, we are exploring space. Astronomers (天文学家) are modern-day explorers. Now, many astronomers are looking for new planets and new places of humans to live in the future. But where do astronomers start looking
First of all, astronomers look for a star. That’s because our own Earth moves around a star the Sun. More importantly, it is the correct distance (距离) from the Sun for heat and light. So when astronomers have found the star, they look at the planets around it. In recent years, astronomers have found nearly 400 new planets with stars. However, many of these planets are either too near to the star or too far away.
However, if the planet is in a good position, astronomers look for three key things: water, air and rock. Water is important because all life needs water. Humans can drink it and they can also grow plants with water. And plants produce air for humans to breathe and food to eat. Rock on a planet is also important. That’s because there is often water under the rock.
After many years of scrutinizing, astronomers have found a planet that is similar to the Earth. It’s Gliese 581g and it’s near a star. The astronomers think it has water and rock and the average (平均的) temperature is between-31℃ and -12℃. That’s cold, but not colder than Antarctica or Arctic Circle, for example, Gliese 581g is bigger than the Earth. A year on Gliese 581g is only 37 Earth days instead of 365. But astronomers do not think there are big differences and some them thing Gliese 581g will be a new Earth. However, Gliese 581g is twenty light years from the Earth.
12. What do astronomers have to find first before starting to look for a new place for humans to have
A. A new planet B. A new star C. Some heat D. Some light
13 What does the rock on a planet tell us
A. We may discover water under it
B. The star is a right position
C. The planet is too near to the Sun
D. There can be air around the rock
14. What does the underlined word “scrutinizing” mean in the last paragraph
A. discussing B. waiting C. traveling D. looking
15. What’s the main idea of the text
A. Gliese 581g is already a new Earth
B. There are planets similar to our Earth
C. Astronomers are looking for a new Earth
D. Water, air and rock are important
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C

We’re not so different after all.
