A
In addition to being open to opposite opinions, here are some techniques that could help
broaden the way you think.
Respect Difference
The mere presence of individuals from different backgrounds with different points of view in
your everyday life creates an atmosphere in which people can better respond to change.
Change Environments
A change in your everyday life may provide the force needed to change the direction of your
thinking. For some people, small changes might help reorganize your desk or take a new route to
work, whereas for others, more adjustments are required.
Shift into Positivity
Unlike negative emotions that bring about specific reactions, positive emotions prompt us to
broaden our attention, explore our environment, and open ourselves to absorbing information. Take a

- 3 -

few moments to think about the things in your life that are going well and for which you are grateful;
this will automatically brighten your mood-and free your brain.
Look as if You’ve Never Seen
A Zen Buddhist concept for approaching even routine situations as if you were encountering
them for the first time, “beginner’s mind” allows you to remain open to new experiences despite any
expertise you may have. For instance, when you brush your teeth, take a moment to look at the
toothbrush as if you’ve never laid eyes on such an object and notice its color and shape. Think about
the flavor of the toothpaste and notice how your mouth feels as you move the brush back and forth.
21. What may be the benefit of small changes in life?
A. Reducing one’s workload. B. Focusing one’s attention.
C. Leading to adjustments. D. Better responding to changes.
22. How can you find something new in routine situation?
A. By shifting into positivity. B. By respecting difference.
C. By changing environments. D. By looking as if you’ve never seen.
23. What’s the purpose of the article?
A. To introduce skills of broadening one’s thinking.
B. To compare the attitudes to thinking.
C. To give advice on thinking positively.
D. To explain the reasons for being open.
B
Avoiding the worst effects of climate change will require action. But it’s hard to take action
when you don’t even know there’s a problem. Around the world, only half of adults understand that
humans are causing climate change through activities that produce greenhouse gases. But the picture
is different for kids. Previous work has shown that children are more engaged and more
knowledgeable than adults are about climate change. The question is, can we harness this to make a
difference?
“We had come across this idea that kids are capable of influencing their parents. And when we
say influence, we really mean just teaching them.” said Daniella Lawson, a social scientist at NC
State University. “That’s what we set out to really investigate: can we design things in such a way
that kids are able to teach their parents about climate change. A parent is willing and able to listen to

- 4 -

their children speaking to them instead of just an adult on the street or a different climate
communicator. ”
To test the idea, Lawson set up a wildlife-based climate course for kids. This approach was
based on previous courses, but the team added a twist: involving the parents. First, parents were
invited to come along to an event that formed a part of the course. And that’s not all. “So we also had
students interview their parents. And this interview never mentioned climate change specifically. But
it had questions like: how have you seen the weather change over the last five to ten years? Do you
believe the sea level is rising? How do you think that could impact our communities?”
The study showed that the course did indeed increase concern about climate change: not just
among the kids, but their parents too. And there were some surprising findings in the results. These
findings come at a time when more kids are becoming climate activists. And Lawson says that her
study shows just how persuasive young people’s voices can be.
24. What does the underlined word “harness” in paragraph one refer to?
A. Adopt. B. Accumulate. C. Review. D. Control.
25. What can be learned from the first paragraph?
A. Effective actions have been taken to deal with climate change.
B. Most adults have realized the climate damages caused by themselves.
C. Children better adults in the area of climate change and its effects.
D. Adults and children will cooperate to deal with climate change.
26. About climate change teaching, which one will Daniella Lawson most probably agree with?
A. Kids can be taught by adults.
B. Adults can learn from the kids.
C. Climate communicators are more professional.
D. Parents are more likely to consult street adults.
27. What can be learned about the course?
A. The course involved is completely new.
B. Interviews and questionnaires are necessary in the course.
C. Adults and kids study separately during the course.
D. The course is relatively effective in climate education.

It was New Year’s night. An aged man was standing at a window. Few more hopeless people
than himself now moved towards their certain goal-the tomb. He had already passed sixty of the age
leading to it, and he had brought from his journey nothing but errors and regrets.
The days of his youth appeared like dreams before him, and he recalled the serious moment
when his father placed him at the entrances of the two roads. One leading to a peaceful, sunny place
covered with flowers and fruits; the other leading to a deep dark cave which was endless. He looked
towards the sky and cried painfully, “Oh youth, return! Oh, my father, place me once more at the
entrance to life”. But both his father and the days of his youth had passed away.
He saw the lights flowing away in the darkness，and these were the days of his wasted life; he
saw a star fall from the sky and disappear, and this was the symbol of himself. Then he remembered
his friends in his childhood, who entered life together with him. But they had made their way to
success and were then honored and happy on that New Year’s night.
The clock in the high church tower struck and the sound made him remember his parents. They
had taught him and prayed to God for his good. But he chose the wrong way with shame and grief.
He dared no longer to look towards the heaven where his parents lived. He burst out a cry: “Come
back, my early days!”And his youth did return, for all this was only a dream on New Year’s night.
He was still young though his faults were real. He had not yet entered the deep dark eave, and he
was still free to walk on the road which leads to the peaceful and sunny land.
28. Which of the following words can best describe the aged man?
A. Confident. B. Selfless. C. Regretful. D. Fortunate.
29. What can we learn from Para3?
A. The man’s friends missed their youth.
B. The man’s friends suffered failure finally.
C. The man wasted his life at one time.
D. The man was lonely in his childhood.
30. What can be inferred from the text?
A. The old man didn’t take his father’s advice.
B. The old man was enjoying his journey.
C. The old man’s father accompanied him during the journey.
D. The old man was like lights in the darkness.

31. What is the best title for the text?
A. A Special New Year’s Night B. An Old Man’s Hesitation
C. Youth Coming Back D. Two Roads to Take

The English-language version of Wikipedia has almost six million articles. And if you’re a
cheating student, that’s six million essays already written for you. But plagiarism(剽窃)isn’t really
an effective way-just type the text into a search engine and the game is over. Then what about having
a ghostwriter compose your final essay?
“Standard plagiarism software cannot detect this kind of cheating.” said Stephan Lorenzen, a
data analyst at the University of Copenhagen. In Denmark, where he’s based, ghostwriting is a
growing problem at high schools. So Lorenzen and his colleagues created a program called
Ghostwriter that can detect the cheats.
At its central part is a neural(神经的)network trained and tested on 130,000 real essays from
10,000 Danish students. After reading through tens of thousands of essays labeled as being written
by the same author or not, the machine taught itself to tune into the characteristics that might tip off
cheating. For example, did a student’s essays share the same styles of punctuation? The same
spelling mistakes?
By examining inconsistencies like those, Ghostwriter was able to seek out a cheated essay
nearly 90 percent of the time. The team presented the results at the European Meeting on Artificial
Neural Networks, Computational Intelligence and Machine Learning. There’s one more aspect here
that could help students. Your high school essays probably get better over time as you learn to
write-and the machine can detect that. The final idea is to detect students who are at risk because
their development in writing style isn’t as you’d expect. Teachers could thus give extra help to kids
who really need it, while sniffing out the cheaters too.
32. What can be true about a cheating student trying to finish an essay?
A. His cheating may be detected in a certain way.
B. Essays offered by WikiPedia can’t be downloaded.
C. He won’t hire a ghostwriter to write one for himself.
D. Ghost cheating can be detected by Standard plagiarism software.
33. Which aspect of the program “Ghostwriter” is talked about in Para. 3?

- 7 -

A. Its components. B. Its weaknesses. C. Its influences. D. Its working theory.
34. Which one of the following is the function of “Ghostwriter” ?
A. It never fails to find out a cheated essay.
B. It can detect a student’s progress in writing.
C. It can guide a student to correct his writing style.
D. It relieves teachers of giving extra help.
35. Where is the text most likely from?
A. A guidebook. B. A magazine. C. A novel. D. A diary.

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。
Many college students pursue internships(实习), but only a few of them have the chance to turn
that experience into a future career. 36 But there are still strategies interns can employ to win
their employer’s attention. 37
●Treat challenging projects as a way to test yourself.
The company may be in a field that is new to you, so the projects you work on may be equally
unfamiliar. Adapting to a new environment without having prior experience can be scary. 38
When you show that you can take on every project with a positive attitude, your employer will know
how valuable you could be as a full-time employee after graduation.
●Let your boss know you are interested in a job.
If you love your internship and want to work at the company in the future, tell your boss before
you leave. It might seem direct. But it is worth putting yourself on your boss’s radar while you are
still in the company. 39 If it is more than a few semesters away, tell him or her that you will
follow up as the date gets closer.
● 40
Internship supervisors(主管)and colleagues are valuable members of your professional
network.
They know your work and abilities. They can recommend you not only for jobs at their
company, but also when you apply for other companies. Remember to send e-mails or text messages
to your former bosses a few times a year. Let them know what you are doing as you progress in

college.
A. Keep in touch when your internship ends.
B. Get your supervisors to recommend you.
C. This could be because of the tough job market.
D. Let your supervisor know when you will graduate.
E. Your boss’s interest on you will allow you to graduate easily.
F. But try to look at your internship as the ideal opportunity to learn a new skill.
G. Here are some suggestions for students to make the most of their internship.

It is 5 am and it’s too dark to see the fields of volcanic rock and trees on either side of the
highway. But over the lights of my ear, I get a taste of the 41 I’m really here for, as a few stars
Pierce(渗透)the inky 42 sky.
Today our relationship to the universe is largely connected byes 43 , such as telescopes and
NASA assignments. But for thousands of years, humans could 44 look up on a clear night to be
45 at the bright spots that stretched(延伸)directly over them.
But over time, we’ve 46 ourselves from our sky, building a covering of artificial light
between ourselves and the dark depth of space. Our 47 , neon signs(霓虹灯), and other electric
lights are increasingly flooding the night sky and 48 the stars. 49 , about one third of the
world’s population cannot see the Milky Way from where they live. And some can’t even recognize
it. The sense of wonder for the night sky 50 , and that means something vital to humanity is lost
as well.
That’s why I’ve dragged myself out of bed hours before 51 . Like 99 percent of Americans,
I live with 52 pollution and I’ve never seen a truly night sky. So I’m here to 53 my first
glance.
As I 54 out of the ear, I 55 raise my face up towards the sky, worrying whether I can
make it. There it is, 56 across the sky as far as I can see. The Milky Way is so vivid that my eyes
don’t even have to 57 the dark to see it.

I expect to feel the 58 of the sky, perhaps as though I’m falling into a bottomless hole. Instead,
the blanket of stars above me is so thick that it is hard to 59 . In black and white, the whole scene
feels surreal.
As I get back in the ear, I pass a 60 that says “Never Stop Looking Up.”

Dogs are desperate for human eye contact. It’s hard for most people to resist a flash of
puppy-dog eyes. Dogs split off from 61 (they)wolf relatives. A paper has found that dogs’ faces
are structured for complex 62 (expression)in a way that wolves’ aren’t. There are two muscles
63 work together to widen and open a dog’s eyes, causing them to appear 64 (big), and

humans respond more positively. This isn’t simply 66 accidental love story, where the eyes of
two species just so happen to meet across a crowded planet. Like all the best partnerships, this one

For a species to change quickly, a pretty 68 (power)force must be having effects on it. And
