A
Words like "thanks" and "please" have become pet phrases for Na Yuegang. As one of the volunteers at this year’s Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum（论坛）， he assists more than 100 international representatives.
But Na Yuegang is no ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t alone. More than 600 volunteers from 13 universities in Beijing contribute to the APEC meeting, according to Beijing Daily.
Students take advantage of opportunities to put their skills and interests to work at the forum, and in return they gain valuable work experience and connections.
Na Yuegang is an inte ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rnational politics major at Beijing Language and Culture University, and he’s a language enthusiast. In addition to English, he speaks both Thai and Cantonese. He uses his talents to help determine where delegates are from based on their accents.He even gets to use his language skills to communicate with staffers.
Through communicating with delegates, he’s developed a deeper understanding of his college major. “Here, I learn the meeting’s agenda(日程安排), how the delegates work, and get a feel for the atmosphere of this international event.” he says.
"This experience has ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )made me more curious about the relationship between China and other nations," he says "I want to study these relationships, if possible.”
Xu Han, 21, an English major at Beijing University of Technology, is approaching the conference from a different angle. Her job is to introduce delegates to China’s technological innovations like 3D printing machines produced by technological company Tiertime. She is also in charge of showing off cultural relics and she does it all in English.
Once, she did ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a lot of preparation for the process behind a carved lacquer ware(漆器制品)technique to meet a Thai representative's curiosity. In only four days, she read more than 100 pages of notes.
She did her own ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) research online as well. Through her own research she's gained the ability to speak about the subject with confidence.
She's constantly on the look out for opportunities to grow.

The "Earth Hour" ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )initiative(自发行动) started in Australia' s biggest city Sydney last year when an estimated 2. 2 million people flicked the switch --- leaving the Sydney Opera House bathed in moonlight and the Harbor Bridge blacked out.
Organizer Andy Ri ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dley said Sydney ' s 60 minutes of darkness generated huge interest around the world and 23 other cities from the Asia Pacific, North America, Europe and the Middle East had now signed up to be part of the 2008 event.
The eight latest cities to join "Earth Hour" are Atlanta, San Francisco and Phoenix in the US; Thailand's capital Bangkok; Ottawa, Vancouver and Montreal in Canada and Dublin in Ireland. They joined Australian cities Sydney, Perth, Melbourne, Canberra, Brisbane, Adelaide; Denmark's Copenhagen, Aarhus, Aalborg and Odense; the Philippine capital Manila, Fiji ' s biggest city Suva. Christchurch in New Zealand; Chicago; Tel Aviv and Toronto.

“ I think it already has become much bigger," he said. "The idea was that anyone could do it, whether they were in a small village in France or a city like Sydney. "
Ridley said t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he Sydney event, in which residents were asked to switch off lights and appliances for one hour, had raised awareness about the problem of global warming while reducing greenhouse gas emissions by conserving energy.
"I know that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) on the night we thought we might be able to cut energy use in the city by five percent but it ended up being 10. 1 percent," he said.
He said he hoped Earth Hour provided a "very big visual message" to politicians that climate change must be addressed quickly.
“The problem is mas ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sive but we do make a difference when we all take action," he said.

The deadliest Ebola ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )outbreak in history that has so far killed almost 1000 people in Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria in West Africa has caused fear around the world.
The outbreak is unprecedented（空前的）both in infection numbers and in geographic scope. Officials from the World Health Organization (WHO) said earlier this month the outbreak “is moving faster than our efforts to control it”, reported CNN. So far, the battle against the virus doesn’t appear to be slowing down.
The Ebola virus is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) terrifying no matter where it strikes: It’s a disease with no cure that causes headaches and fever, severe diarrhea（腹泻）, vomiting and bleeding and has been known to kill up to 90 percent of its victims.
It is understandabl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e for people to be panicked, but those living outside Africa shouldn’t be particularly concerned about contracting the virus, says a Washington Post article.
This is because ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) transmission of Ebola requires direct contact with an infected person’s blood, vomit or other bodily fluids during the period that he or she is contagious（接触传染的）. It is something that is extremely unlikely for anyone but healthcare workers. The virus is not spread by coughing or sneezing.
Media outlets in th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e US and the UK are using terrifying headlines, wrongly claiming that people infected with the virus have traveled to their countries.
James Ball at The Gua ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rdian says the Ebola outbreak in Africa is tragic, but it is important to keep a sense of proportion. Other infectious diseases, including common influenza, are far, far deadlier.
9. What does the author say about the Ebola outbreak in West Africa？
A. It has caused thousands of African deaths.
B. The fight against it is slowing down .
C. Its spreading speed is beyond people's imagination.
D. It has already traveled to the US and the UK.
10. The Ebola virus is terrifying because___________.
A it is easily infected
B, it cannot be cured at the moment
C.it spreads faster than any other infectuous disease
D.it has caused more deaths than other infectous diseases
11. The underlined phrase in the last paragraph means
A. stay calm B. keep a secret
C. keep silent D stay away from it
12. What is the author's attitude towards people's panic
A. Objective. B. Supportive.
C. Understandable. D. Doubtful.
D
Well, parents, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) surprise! Lots of us are using Twitter and Facebook to thumb rides, and not just to school. It’s awkward to be refused when you call a friend and ask for a ride. But with Twitter, you just look for other people heading the same way.
It may sound risky, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) so many teens stay within their own social circles to find rides, and don’t branch out beyond friends when asking on Twitter just like me, but to some young people, especially those taking longer trips, stranger danger is less of a concern.
“I think the digita ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l connection of young people is really key, because younger generations grew up sharing things on line, sharing files, photos, music, etc, so they’ve been very used to sharing,” said Juliet Schor, a sociology professor at Boston College.
The sharing economy got big during the recession (经济衰退), allowing people to access more goods, services using technology and even to share costs. And that technology, for me, is what the car was for my mom, a gateway to more freedom, like what my friend Earl says, “The symbol of freedom isn’t the car any more because there’s technology out there connecting you to a car.”
According to the res ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )earchers at the University of Michigan, 30 years ago, eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a driver’s license compared to six in ten today. So it’s not that surprising that on my 16th birthday I wasn’t rushing to get a license but an iPhone.
“Driving, for young pe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ople, does mean they have to disconnect from their technology, and that’s a negative. So if they could sit in the passage side and still be connected, that’s going to be a plus.” Schor continued.
To me, another plu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s is that ridesharing represents something, something much bigger than trying to save money. I see it as evidence that people still depend on each other. My generation shares their cars and apartments the way neighbors used to share cups of sugar. For the system to work, some of us still need our own cars. But until I get my own version of the silver Super Beetle, you can find me on Twitter.
13. The American te ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ens like the author, prefer to possess an iPhone as a birthday gift because _______.
A. it is most fashio ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nable and cool B. they are bored with driving cars
C. it is much cheaper than a car D. they are fond of being connected
14. We can learn from the text that _______.
A. Twitter is a website for teens to make friends and achieve goals
B. ridesharing ca ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n be seen as a sign that people still count on each other
C. driving cars fo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r teens means a plus and connecting with technology
D. having a car and ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) cost-sharing symbolize more freedom for the author’s mother
15. The best title for the passage is probably _______.
A. Twitter, an Awesome Website B. Cars or iPhone
C. Cool Teens on the Go D. Teens Use Twitter to Thumb Rides
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Most peopl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for years. 16
The first ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) kind of loneliness doesn’t last long. This is the most common type. 17 The second kind is situational, it is a natural result of a particular situation. For example, family problem, the death of loved one, or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year.
The third kind of lon ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eliness is the most serious. 18 People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others. Unfortunately, many of them think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.
Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a
person’s social contac ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ts. 19 _ For instance, our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share similar interests and activities. However, psychologists have found that, though lonely people may have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more. They question their popularity.
Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between habitual loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease, 20
A. we live in a big family and we love our family members.
B. while temporary ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) and situational loneliness can be a sad, and sometimes dangerous condition.
C. It usua ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lly disappears quickly and does not require any special attention.
D. Psycholog ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )its are studying this complex phenomenon, and have identified three different types of loneliness.
E. We depend on various people for different reasons.
F. Unlike the fir ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )st two types, it usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause.
G. and temporar ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y and situational loneliness also need to pay attention to.

The deadliest Ebola ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )outbreak in history that has so far killed almost 1000 people in Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria in West Africa has caused fear around the world.
The outbreak is unprecedented（空前的）both in infection numbers and in geographic scope. Officials from the World Health Organization (WHO) said earlier this month the outbreak “is moving faster than our efforts to control it”, reported CNN. So far, the battle against the virus doesn’t appear to be slowing down.
The Ebola virus is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) terrifying no matter where it strikes: It’s a disease with no cure that causes headaches and fever, severe diarrhea（腹泻）, vomiting and bleeding and has been known to kill up to 90 percent of its victims.
It is understandabl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e for people to be panicked, but those living outside Africa shouldn’t be particularly concerned about contracting the virus, says a Washington Post article.
This is because ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) transmission of Ebola requires direct contact with an infected person’s blood, vomit or other bodily fluids during the period that he or she is contagious（接触传染的）. It is something that is extremely unlikely for anyone but healthcare workers. The virus is not spread by coughing or sneezing.
Media outlets in th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e US and the UK are using terrifying headlines, wrongly claiming that people infected with the virus have traveled to their countries.
James Ball at The Gua ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rdian says the Ebola outbreak in Africa is tragic, but it is important to keep a sense of proportion. Other infectious diseases, including common influenza, are far, far deadlier.
9. What does the author say about the Ebola outbreak in West Africa？
A. It has caused thousands of African deaths.
B. The fight against it is slowing down .
C. Its spreading speed is beyond people's imagination.
D. It has already traveled to the US and the UK.
10. The Ebola virus is terrifying because___________.
A it is easily infected
B, it cannot be cured at the moment
C.it spreads faster than any other infectuous disease
D.it has caused more deaths than other infectous diseases
11. The underlined phrase in the last paragraph means
A. stay calm B. keep a secret
C. keep silent D stay away from it
12. What is the author's attitude towards people's panic
A. Objective. B. Supportive.
C. Understandable. D. Doubtful.
D
Well, parents, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) surprise! Lots of us are using Twitter and Facebook to thumb rides, and not just to school. It’s awkward to be refused when you call a friend and ask for a ride. But with Twitter, you just look for other people heading the same way.
It may sound risky, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) so many teens stay within their own social circles to find rides, and don’t branch out beyond friends when asking on Twitter just like me, but to some young people, especially those taking longer trips, stranger danger is less of a concern.
“I think the digita ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l connection of young people is really key, because younger generations grew up sharing things on line, sharing files, photos, music, etc, so they’ve been very used to sharing,” said Juliet Schor, a sociology professor at Boston College.
The sharing economy got big during the recession (经济衰退), allowing people to access more goods, services using technology and even to share costs. And that technology, for me, is what the car was for my mom, a gateway to more freedom, like what my friend Earl says, “The symbol of freedom isn’t the car any more because there’s technology out there connecting you to a car.”
According to the res ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )earchers at the University of Michigan, 30 years ago, eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a driver’s license compared to six in ten today. So it’s not that surprising that on my 16th birthday I wasn’t rushing to get a license but an iPhone.
“Driving, for young pe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ople, does mean they have to disconnect from their technology, and that’s a negative. So if they could sit in the passage side and still be connected, that’s going to be a plus.” Schor continued.
To me, another plu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s is that ridesharing represents something, something much bigger than trying to save money. I see it as evidence that people still depend on each other. My generation shares their cars and apartments the way neighbors used to share cups of sugar. For the system to work, some of us still need our own cars. But until I get my own version of the silver Super Beetle, you can find me on Twitter.
13. The American te ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ens like the author, prefer to possess an iPhone as a birthday gift because _______.
A. it is most fashio ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nable and cool B. they are bored with driving cars
C. it is much cheaper than a car D. they are fond of being connected
14. We can learn from the text that _______.
A. Twitter is a website for teens to make friends and achieve goals
B. ridesharing ca ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n be seen as a sign that people still count on each other
C. driving cars fo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r teens means a plus and connecting with technology
D. having a car and ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) cost-sharing symbolize more freedom for the author’s mother
15. The best title for the passage is probably _______.
A. Twitter, an Awesome Website B. Cars or iPhone
C. Cool Teens on the Go D. Teens Use Twitter to Thumb Rides

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Most peopl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for years. 16
The first ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) kind of loneliness doesn’t last long. This is the most common type. 17 The second kind is situational, it is a natural result of a particular situation. For example, family problem, the death of loved one, or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year.
The third kind of lon ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eliness is the most serious. 18 People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others. Unfortunately, many of them think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.
Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a
person’s social contac ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ts. 19 _ For instance, our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share similar interests and activities. However, psychologists have found that, though lonely people may have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more. They question their popularity.
Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between habitual loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease, 20
A. we live in a big family and we love our family members.
B. while temporary ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) and situational loneliness can be a sad, and sometimes dangerous condition.
C. It usua ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lly disappears quickly and does not require any special attention.
D. Psycholog ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )its are studying this complex phenomenon, and have identified three different types of loneliness.
E. We depend on various people for different reasons.
F. Unlike the fir ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )st two types, it usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause.
G. and temporar ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y and situational loneliness also need to pay attention to.
