    Have you dreamed of traveling to cool places, meeting different people, and maybe picking up a language or two? No matter which country you live in, you can fly over the world’s highest waterfalls in Venezuela, study in France or take dancing lessons in Ghana. Besides the excitement of traveling, there is another reason to study abroad. "Obviously, I learned the language and am now fluent, but perhaps what’s more important was how much I learned about cultures, people, and myself." said Andrew, who studied in France.
    Christina studied in Caracas, Venezuela, a city of 10 million people and a huge change from her hometown of 35,000! Christina said she learned how to better speak for herself and her beliefs and to express herself in another language. What could make you more confident than that?
    Living away from home can also help you become adapted to the transition (过渡) to college and adulthood. Matthew said that he returned from studying in Australia with confidence, and a real interest in international affairs. "After having gone abroad in high school, I found the transition to college was a breeze — moving 560 miles from home didn’t seem difficult at all after having lived thousands of miles away. "
    Speaking of college, improving your language skills might help you get into ideal colleges and even land future jobs. Colleges and employers know that studying abroad provides leadership skills in a world that needs much communication. Most of all, it’s fun! You won’t suffer from the general boredom (单调) while you’re studying in a different learning environment.

    Almost everyone wants to get smarter. We struggle to improve our 16_ , intelligence and attention. We drink cup after cup of coffee to help us  17_  the day.
     18 __, a new study published in Current Directions in Psychological Science warns that there are 19___ to how smart humans can get.

If our brains developed to be bigger, there could be more  24  during childbirth.
    The study of Jews, who have an average IQ much _ 25_  than other Europeans, showed they were more  _26_  to develop diseases of the  _27_  system. This might be because of their increased brainpower.
    If intelligence cannot be improved, can we at least get better at _ 28 _ ? Not really, say scientists. They studied  _29_  like caffeine (咖啡因)that improve attention. They found the drugs only helped people with serious  30 _ problems. For those who did not have trouble paying attention, the drugs could have the  31 _ effect.

    What do butterfly wings have to do with computer screens? What do birds have to do with high speed trains?
    These may sound like strange things to put together. But scientists, inventors, and designers are doing just that. They are learning from nature to create new technology.
    The word biomimicry (仿生学) combines two words: biology and mimicry. So people using biomimicry try to use examples in nature to design new technology.
    Biomimicry is not a new idea. People have been studying nature for hundreds of years. Leonardo DaVinci used birds as models to invent his flying machine. And when the Wright Brothers made the first successful airplane, they also studied birds. In 998, Janine Benyus, a natural science writer and teacher, wrote a book about biomimicry. To develop her interest in the subject, Janine Benyus started the Biomimicry Institute.
    The Biomimicry Institute is a non-profit organization. It brings together scientists, designers, inventors and many other people. It offers classes to teach people biomimicry. It provides money for people to research and test new technologies. And it wants all people, from children to adults, to think about new ways to learn from nature.
    People involved with the Biomimicry Institute believe that biomimicry can help solve many of the world’s problems. Often, new technologies can harm nature, but this is not true for biomimicry. Let’s look at some examples.
    Butterflies have colorful wings because light shines off them in a special way. Scientists want to copy these same ways to make light shine off computers. They hope this will make for more colorful screens.
    Another example of biomimicry is the bullet train. It travels at speeds of over 250 kilometers per hour! But it had a problem: it made too much noise!
    Through the observation of birds, scientists thought about a kind of bird, the kingfisher(翠鸟). The kingfisher can dive into water without making any noise because of the shape of its beak(喙). Researchers thought that if they could design the front of the train like this beak, the train would be quieter. Well, it worked!
    小题1:The first paragraph is written to_____.
    A．start a discussion B．make a brief summary
    C．introduce the topic of the text D．test readers' knowledge on science
    小题2:Why did Janine Benyus set up the Biomimicry Institute?
    A．To honor the Wright Brothers.
    B．To show her recent inventions.
    C．To gather talented people for her research.
    D．To explore the link between nature and technologies.
    小题3:We know from the text that the Biomimicry Institute _____.
    A．earns a lot by giving classes on biomimicry B．tells people about their technologies
    C．gives free support to scientists D．teaches children about birds
    小题4:The author gives the two examples at the end of the text to show _______.
    A．biomimcry works harmoniously with natureB．the fast development of modern technology
    C．how biomimcry changes our lifeD．how nature inspires scientists
    小题5:What’s the main idea of the text?
    A．Biomimicry is widely used in the world.
    B．People copy nature to create new technologies.
    C．The Biomimicry Institute was set up for science.
    D．Birds play an important part in new technologies.

    Over the past decade, cheating—an act of academic dishonesty—has become more and more common.
    The latest statistics shows more than two thirds of high school students admitted cheating on an exam last year, and—even more surprising—often the best students cheat to get to the top of their class—and they don’t think it is wrong. It’s not a big deal. Everybody is doing it.
    It is a big deal! Cheating is basically wrong and must be punished.
    If students easily get away with it, they might be encouraged to do it again. They won’t realize that this—in the broadest sense—is an attack on our society, which is based on values like honesty and fairness. The present spreading of cheating indicates a loss of those values and cannot be tolerated. An appropriate punishment for cheating incidents would make students aware of their misbehavior.
    If no one were punished for cheating, who would ever study for an exam? Tons of papers would be lifted from websites, writing crib sheets would be more important than reviewing the subjects, and highly sophisticated cheating arts would be invented. Knowledge would only exist on the Internet and on cleverly created cheat sheets, but not in the minds of the students—a rather bad precondition to enrich our society wisely and intelligently.
    Students have to learn that they have to learn. Only doing what’s right will bring them a feeling of pride and accomplishment and create self-confidence—the building blocks for a successful and satisfying life and a society that keeps its values.
    小题1:What is more surprising is that       .
    A．cheating is very common in schools
    B．over 2/3 of the students cheat last year
    C．even the best students cheat on exams
    D．teachers are not aware of the problems
    小题2:How do they make the students realize their misbehavior?
    A．By letting them getting away with it.
    B．By telling them what is right.
    C．By catching them on the spot.
    D．By giving them some punishment.
    小题3:How can students create self-confidence?
    A．By knowing they have to learn.
    B．By doing what is right.
    C．By learning the right things.
    D．By being punished when cheating.
    小题4:What does the underlined word “lifted” mean?
    A．takenB．removedC．copiedD．written

    Education is not an end , but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.
    In many modern countries it has for some time been fashionable（流行的）to think that by free education for all whether rich or poor, clever or stupid --- one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough: we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees（学位）they refuse to do what they think "low" work; and in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor: we can live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns…
    In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability, and secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that it is very bad to be unwilling to do one's work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.
    小题1:In the writer’s opinion,_________
    A．free education for all probably leads to a perfect world
    B．all the social problems can’t be solved by education
    C．education can solve most of the world’s problems
    D．free education will help to solve all the problems of society
    小题2:The writer wants to prove that _______
    A．a farmer is more important than a professor
    B．our society needs free education for all
    C．our society needs all kinds of jobs
    D．work with hands is the most important
    小题3:The purpose of education is to ________
    A．build a perfect worldB．let everyone receive education
    C．choose officials for the countryD．prepare children mainly for their future work
    小题4:What is mainly discussed in the text?
    A．The type of educationB．The value of education
    C．The means of educationD．The system of education
    小题5:What can we learn from the text?
    A．Work with hands is thought to be shameful in some modern countries.
    B．In all modern countries, free education has been fashionable.
    C．A perfect nation can solve all the problems of society.
    D．A professor is far more important than a farmer.

    B
    How do apology languages work? Have you ever tried to apologize, only to be refused? It may be that you were offering a partial apology in a “language”, that was foreign to your listener. The five languages of apology include:
    Apology Language 1: “I am sorry.”
    List the hurtful effects of your action. Not “I am sorry if …”, but “I am sorry that…”. You might ask if they want to add any points that you have not recognized.
    Apology Language 2:“I was wrong.”
    Name your mistake and accept fault. Note that it is easier to say “You are right” than “ I am wrong”, but the latter carries more weight.
    Apology Language 3: “What can I do to make it right?”
    How are you now? How shall I make amends(弥补) to you? How can I restore your confidence that I love you— even though I was so hurtful to you?
    Apology Language 4: “I’ll try not to do that again.”
    Engage in problem-solving. Don’t make excuses for yourself such as, “Well, my day was just so…” Instead, offer what you will change to prevent yourself from putting them in the same bad situation again.
    Apology Language 5: “Will you please forgive me?”
    Be patient in seeking forgiveness. They may need some time or greater clarification(澄清) of your input from Apology Languages 1-4.
    Finally, your apology may not be accepted, but at least you know that you have been faithful in offering a sincere olive branch(橄榄枝) of peace.
    小题1:The passage mainly talks about___________
    A．5 tips for apologies that workB．5 ways of refusing apologies
    C．the function of apology languagesD．the importance of apology languages
    小题2:According to Paragraph 1, your apology may be refused mainly because________

    Across countryside, non-food crops are growing alongside wheat．Some are used in new alternatives to plastics and other materials, but others will simply be burned．
    Burning crops is becoming more popular because it is good for the planet．Doing so is also cheaper than burning fossil fuels．As more land is devoted to non-food crop production, the economics of crops for fuel are likely to become even more favorable．
    Humans have been burning such biomass—organic materials from plants or animals— since they discovered fire．But that burning fossil fuels could have catastrophic consequences has brought biomass back into fashion．
    Even allowing for emissions (排放) of carbon dioxide from fuel used in planting, harvesting, processing and transporting biomass fuel, replacing fossil fuel with biomass can typically reduce greenhouse gas emissions by more than 90 percent．
    Power stations around the world are experimenting with forms of biomass to add to their coal or oil, with encouraging results．Indeed, power companies could profit by turning to biomass, especially when the subsidies (补助) many governments offer for using renewable energy are taken into account．
    Farmers can benefit from growing biomass．In Europe, the reduction of subsidies for certain crops is exposing farmers to market forces．Instead of being paid for whatever they produce, farmers must seek a clear demand for their product．Many believe that the demand for alternatives to fossil fuels could be just such a driver．
    But while biomass offers a variety of potential alternatives, the world's infrastructure (基础设施） has developed around burning fossil fuels to such a stage that switching to biomass involves a change in conception that many companies have not accepted．
    Also, there are problems with using biomass．Although most coal-fired power stations could take a small amount of their fuel from biomass without significant adjustment, few are built to run on biomass alone．Burning some forms of biomass also causes environmental problems．Oils and waste can be smelly, while wood produces smoke unless burned properly．
    The supply chains for fossil fuels are set up well, but those for biomass are just the beginning. Sources of supply for biomass rely on farm production and can therefore be less reliable. They are necessarily limited and it wouldn't make sense to turn a very large amount of valuable agricultural land away from food crops．But as the world adjusts to the need to control greenhouse gas emissions, these problems may receive more attention．
    小题1:What do we know about biomass?
    A．It is a useful way of burning crops．
    B．It is plant and animal matter used to provide power．
    C．It is a new alternative to be used widely．
    D．It is a popular approach to fighting against pollution．
    小题2:What are the advantages of using biomass?
    a．It gives off less greenhouse gases．
    b．It helps farmers receive subsidies for what they produce．
    c．It has met the clear demand for energy．
    d．It has brought subsidies for some power companies．
    e．It is cheaper than burning fossil fuels．
    A．a, b, cB．b, c, dC．c, d, eD．a, d, e
    小题3:For coal-fired power stations, ______．
    A．more effective ways to use biomass have been tried
    B．using renewable energy has become their daily task
    C．burning biomass alone would require considerable changes
    D．setting up dependable supply channels needs governments' support
    小题4:What is the author's attitude towards biomass fuels?
    A．Defensive．B．Doubtful．C．Negative． D．Objective

    The US space agency NASA is looking for people to go to Mars, and stay there. This attractive career is for people who want a huge change of scenery and planet. The project is called the Hundred Years Starship, which aims to colonize (开拓殖民地) other lands such as the red planet Mars.
    Settlers would travel to the red planet and live there forever. NASA says it would be too expensive to bring humans back to Earth. The space agency can afford, however, to send supplies to the astronaut pioneers from Earth. Astronauts would be landed on the planet's surface and would never be able to return home due to the cost.
    NASA has started the project with $1.6 million, and hopes to attract investment from space-living billionaires. Google co-founder Larry Page told NASA he would be interested if the cost of a one-way ticket can go down from $10 billion to $2 billion.
    The journey to Mars could take 4 months. Setting on the red planet would be extremely dangerous, especially given the freezing temperatures there. The thin atmosphere would be another problem as it is mostly carbon dioxide, so oxygen supplies are a must. A director in NASA said that he believed the trip might start with visiting Mars's moons first. He claimed that humans could be on Mars's moons by 2030.
    Many scientists think colonizing space is absolutely necessary. Steven Hawking believes we must move to other planets to survive as a species. He said: “Once we spread out into space and establish independent colonies, our future should be safe.” Scientists Dirk' Schulze-Makuch and Paul Davies also call it a “desirable goal”, though there surely are huge risks to explore new lands.
    小题1:Which of the following is TRUE about the Hundred Years Starship?
    A．It has cost NASA around $10 billion.
    B．It is expected to be conducted on Mars in 2030.
    C．It aims to explore new lands in the universe.
    D．It is a project first raise by Steven Hawking.
    小题2:We can infer from the passage that Google co-founder Larry Page _______.
    A．used to be an astronautB．is no longer rich now
    C．is a fan of space travelD．is a generous man
    小题3:What would be the best title for the passage?
    A．One-way trip to Mars
    B．Mars's another moon is found.
    C．Human landing on Mars.
    D．NASA's first cooperation with Google.
