Many high school students consider a college education useless. Therefore, they choose not to go to college. If you’re one of them, think again. Here are some reasons why you should go to college and receive a good education there. Schools and universities are the first sources of knowledge. We take that knowledge later on to build our careers after graduation. More knowledge will be gained after you start working, but without an education, that job will not be within easy reach. Knowledge leads to knowledge. While limited within the walls of the educational institutions, we openly explore other cultures of the world. We come to know that ours is not the only culture. Other cultures have valuable insights to share, enriching our own. Education also makes us want to travel and interact with various cultures, broadening our horizons. When there’s a downturn (衰退) in the economy, those who attended college will be more likely to find a new job than those who only finished grade school and have a limited skills set. The more education you have, the more chances you will get to improve the quality of your life as you have a better job and earn a higher salary. When you’re skillful and knowledgeable, you get to “rub knees” with people of similar backgrounds and tastes. It means a good education leads to excellent networking. Good networking can benefit you a lot in your later life. A good education makes you a more interesting person. You can talk about ideas and events instead of just other people and what’s on sale in stores. An educated person doesn’t gossip, having a preference to discuss ideas and listen to what other people have to say. 【1】Paragraph 2 mainly shows that going to college allows you to ______. A.have a chance to study abroad B.become a more interesting person C.keep gaining knowledge D.realize the importance of knowledge 【2】According to Paragraph 3, what does going to college mean? A.Having a greater understanding of different cultures. B.Being limited within the walls of a college. C.Valuing our own culture much more. D.Thinking differently from others. 【3】By giving the example of a downturn in the economy, what does the author want to show? A.A good education can improve your tastes. B.A good education sometimes means nothing. C.A good education means you will not lose your job. D.A good education allows you to keep a high quality of life. 【4】What is the text mainly about? A.Sources of knowledge. B.Benefits of attending college. C.The disadvantages of not being educated. D.The reason why some people think college useless. |

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Bad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers.But now that information is being spread and monitored(监控) in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking people’s e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories. “The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media,” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. “They want your eyeballs and don’t care how you’re feeling. But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. You don’t want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.” Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication—e-mails, Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversations—found that it tended to be more positive than negative(消极的), but that didn’t necessarily mean people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times’ website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months. One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles. He found that science amazed Times’ readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others. Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused(激发) one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new book, “Contagious: Why Things Catch On.” 【1】What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to? A. News reports. B. Research papers. C. Private e-mails. D. Daily conversations． 【2】What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer? A. They’re socially inactive. B. They’re good at telling stories. C. They’re inconsiderate of others. D. They’re careful with their words. 【3】Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr. Berger’s research? A. Sports new. B. Science articles. C. Personal accounts. D. Financial reviews. 【4】What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Sad Stories Travel Far and Wide B. Online News Attracts More People C. Reading Habits Change with the Times D. Good News Beats Bad on Social Networks |

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) needs to prove its worth through rigorous clinical trials, according to the head of one of China’s largest herbal remedy companies, as a contentious new law to boost the $40bn sector comes into effect. Traditional Chinese Medicine is estimated by analysts to account for a third of sales in China’s $117bn pharmaceutical (药学) market, the world’s second largest. But most of those sales are of relatively cheap over-the-counter drugs, with many Chinese hospital doctors unwilling to prescribe TCM remedies because of the lack of evidence for their effectiveness. China’s first law promising equal status for TCM and western medicine in the country’s state-dominated healthcare system comes into effect this weekend. Provisions include encouragement for hospitals to set up TCM centres, and a licensing system for practitioners (从业者). “This law is very important for securing the status of TCM,” said Wu Yiling, chairman of Yiling Pharmaceutical, a company that makes herbal remedies based on traditional recipes in the northern province of Hebei. Listed in Shenzhen, Wu Yiling has a market capitalization of RMB 20.7bn ($3bn). Mr Wu, the son of a herbal practitioner, controls a family fortune of $1.6bn, according to the Hurun Rich List. Mr Wu is both a supporter of the nature of Qi—the mystical energy force that provides the basis for much of TCM theory—and the clinical trials vital to western pharmaceutical companies. “TCM needs to develop using modern research methods,” he said. For instance, researchers from Peking and Cardiff Universities tested the health benefits of Yiling’s herbal medicine Yangzheng Xiaoji, publishing papers in the International Journal of Oncology that showed the drug can slow the growth of cancer tumours. “The theory and recipe is TCM, but in practice the evaluation of our medicines is carried out according to western evidence-based methods,” Mr Wu said. Analysts say such tests can help gain support from doubtful hospital doctors and boost prescriptions. “Doctors need strong evidence that drugs definitely work,” said Serena Shao, healthcare analyst at brokerage CLSA. “Some of these companies are currently doing clinical trials, and getting proof that their drugs have the same efficacy (功效) as chemical drugs. That’s the way to go.” she added. The TCM law has been greeted with doubt from China’s western-schooled medical establishment, which points to a lack of rigorous training for TCM doctors, and a recent series of shocking events involving herbal injections believed to have been harmful. “Officials will try and encourage TCM, but also will be very cautious about what kinds of TCM they use in hospitals,” added Ms Shao. 【1】Why does Traditional Chinese Medicine need to prove its worth through rigorous clinical trials? A.Because Chinese medicine is all cheap over-the-counter drugs B.Because Chinese medicine market is the world’s second largest one. C.Because Chinese government wants to boost the law of Chinese medicine. D.Because doctors are unwilling to prescribe TCM remedies lacking evidence of effectiveness. 【2】Which words can be used to replace the underlined word “Provisions” in the third paragraph? A.Articles of law. B.Ways of supplying. C.Methods of motivation D.Approaches to inspiring. 【3】According to the passage, we can lean that Mr Wu Yiling ________. A.is a herbal practitioner, controlling a family fortune B.has a company in Shenzhen that has a market capitalization of $3bn C.lets his company evaluate herbal medicines with western evidence-based methods D.thinks that if we need to develop TCM, we should use Chinese traditional research methods 【4】According to the last two paragraphs, we infer that ________. A.western doctors deny the effectiveness of TCM B.TCM hasn’t been recognized in the western medicine C.there is a lack of rigorous training for TCM doctors D.a recent series of shocking events has destroyed Chinese medicine |

People have always wanted to know what the future will look like. Then, how can we? 【1】 The world has changed a lot in the last 150 years, but we humans are driven by the same basic needs as we were 150 years ago, such as food, sleep, the feeling of being appreciated and loved. 【2】 No. In addition, generally speaking, the inventions for the last 150 years have been a human effort for freedom and communication, to be able to get in control of the time and world. Since there is still much to do in this area, this will be the focus at least for the next150 years. But why do we need to predict the future? Predicting the future is important for two reasons: First, we need to start to think about what kind of future we would like for ourselves and to pass on to the next generation. 【3】 How about the virtual worlds? It might be in the future to experience the sand between your toes, and hear the waves, just lying in your bed at home. 【4】 So, even if a great invention is there for an affordable price, it’ll never take the place of the common experience if it is not real. 【5】 What we’ll see in the next 50 years is the transition (过渡) from an oil-dependent society to a new society. Here there’ll be new medicine, continued exploration of space, challenges in the climate change, and new inventions that make life a little easier. A. Will this change in the next 150 years? B. So what will the future look like then? D. Well, to understand the future, you must know the past. E. However, you’ll never get the feeling of being there. F. However, no matter how real the experience will feel, it doesn’t happen for real. G. Then we need to know what decisions we need to make today that will give the best result in the future. |
