    Snow falls in the Earth’s extreme North and South throughout the year. However， the heaviest snowfalls have been reported in the mountains of other areas during winter. Snow is even known to fall near the Equator (赤道)，but only on the highest mountains.
    Snow contains much less water than rain, but much of the water the world uses comes from snow. Melting snow provides water for rivers, electric power stations and agricultural crops. In the western United States, mountain snow provides up to seventy-five percent of all surface water supplies.
    Snowfall helps to protect plants and some wild animals from winter weather. Fresh snow is made largely of air trapped among the snow crystals (晶体). Because the air has trouble moving, the movement of heat is limited. Snow also influences the movement of sound waves. The surface of the snow takes in, or absorbs, sound waves. As snow grows older or if there have been strong winds, it can become hard and flat. Then, the snow，s surface will help to send back sound waves.
    Snow may be beautiful, but it can be deadly. It is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of people. Many people die in traffic accidents on roads covered with snow and ice or from being seriously stuck in the winter storm. Others die from heart attacks caused by too much physical activity out in the cold.
    People may not be able to avoid living in areas where it snows often. However, they can avoid becoming victims of snowstorms. People should stop driving and stay at home until the storm has passed. People living in these areas should carry emergency supplies in their vehicle. These include food，emergency medical supplies，and extra clothing to stay warm and dry.
    小题1:Mountain snowfall _____.
    A．is heavier than that in the South and the North Poles
    B．has never occurred near the Equator of the earth
    C．brings less of the water the world uses than rain does
    D．provides up to seventy—five percent of water supplies worldwide
    小题2:Snow protects plants and wild animals from cold weather by _____.
    A．supplying much more air B．limiting heat movement
    C．absorbing strong winds D．sending back sound waves
    小题3:Snow can be deadly mainly because it can _____.
    A．cause road accidents
    B．make people stuck in winter storms
    C．lead to heart attacks
    D．make people victims of snowstorms
    小题4:What will the text probably tell us following the last paragraph? _.
    A．How to drive during snowstorms
    B．Where we can get emergency supplies
    C．How to prevent heart attacks out in cold
    D．Why we should stay warm and dry in winter

    When next year’s crop of high-school graduates arrive at Oxford University in the fall, they will be joined by a new face: Andrew Hamilton, the 55-year-old provost (教务长) of Yale, who will become Oxford’s vice-chancellor –– a position equal to university president in America.
    Hamilton isn’t the only educator crossing the Atlantic. Schools in France, Egypt, Singapore, etc. have also recently made top-level hires from abroad. Yet the talent flow isn’t universal. High-level personnel (人员) tend to head in only one direction: Outward from America.
    The chief reason is that American schools don’t tend to seriously consider looking abroad. For example, when the board of the University of Colorado searched for a new president, it wanted a leader familiar with the state government, a major source of the university’s budget. “We didn’t do any global consideration,” says Patricia Hayes, the board’s chair. The board finally picked Bruce Benson, a 69-year-old Colorado businessman and political activist who is likely to do well in the main task of modern university presidents: fund-raising. Fund-raising is a particularly American thing, since U.S. schools rely heavily on donations. The fund-raising ability is largely a product of experience and necessity.
    Many European universities, meanwhile, are still mostly dependent on government funding. But government support has failed to keep pace with rising student numbers. The decline in government support has made fund-raising an increasingly necessary ability among administrators (管理人员), and has made hiring committees hungry for Americans.
    In the past few years, well-known schools around the world have joined the trend. In 2011, when Cambridge University appointed Alison Richard, another former Yale provost, as its vice-chancellor, the university publicly stressed that in her previous job she had overseen (监督) “ a major strengthening of Yale’s financial position”.
    Of course, fund-raising isn’t the only skill outsiders offer. The globalization of education means more universities will be seeking heads with international experience of some kind to promote international programs and attract a global student body. Foreigners can offer a fresh perspective (视角) on established practices.
    小题1: What is the current trend in higher education discussed in the text?
    A．Institutions worldwide are hiring administrators from the U.S.
    B．More international students are being admitted to American universities.
    C．University presidents are paying more attention to fund-raising.
    D．A lot of activists are being hired as administrators.
    小题2: What do we learn about European universities from the text?
    A．The tuition they charge has been rising considerably.
    B．They are strengthening their position by globalization.
    C．Their operation is under strict government control.
    D．Most of their money comes from the government.
    小题3: In what way do top-level administrators from abroad contribute to university development?
    A．They can improve the university’s image.
    B．They will bring with them more international personnel.
    C．They will view a lot of things from a new angle.
    D．They can set up new academic subjects.
    小题4: Which of the following would make the best title of the text?
    A．High Education Globalization
    B．Global Headhunting in Higher Education
    C．Global Higher Education Cooperation
    D．Universal Higher Education Development

    Angry Birds has even inspired works of philosophical analogy（哲学类比）.A five-part essay with the title“ Angry Birds Yoga（瑜伽）---How to Eliminate the Green  Pigs in Your Life” was written by Giridhari Dasar in Brazil ,utilizing the characters and game play mechanics to interpret various concepts of yoga philosophy.

    Uncertainty spreads through our lives so thoroughly that it dominates our language. Our everyday speech is made up in large part of words like probably, many, soon, great, little. What do these words mean?Such verbal expression is not necessarily to be criticized. Indeed, it has a value just because it allows us to express judgments when a precise quantitative statement is out of the question.
    We have been trying to pin down by experiments what people mean by these expressions in specific contexts, and how the meanings change with age. For instance, a subject is told “There are many trees in the park” and is asked to say what number the word many mean to him. Or a child is invited to take “some” sweets from a bowl and we then count how many he has taken. We compare the number he takes when he is alone with the number when one or more other children are present and are to take some sweets after him, or with the number he takes when told to give “some” sweets to another child.
    First, we find that the number depends, of course, on the items involved. To most people some friends means about five, while some trees means about twenty. However, unrelated areas sometimes show parallel values. For instance, the language of probability seems to mean about the same thing in predictions about the weather and about politics: the expression “is certain to” (rain, or be elected) signifies to the average person about a 70 percent chance; “is likely to”, about a 60 percent chance; “probably will” about 55 percent.
    Secondly, the size of the population of items influences the value assigned to an expression. Thus, if we tell a subject to take “a few” or “ a lot of” glass balls from a box, he will take more if the box contains a large number of glass balls than if it has a small number. But not proportionately more: if we increase the number of glass balls eight times, the subject takes only half as large a percentage of the total.
    Thirdly, there is a marked change with age. Among children between six and fourteen years old, the older the child, the fewer glass balls he will take. But the difference between a lot and a few widens with age. This age effect is so consistent that it might be used as a test of intelligence.
    小题1: What’s the right attitude towards the words like probably, many, soon?
    A．They are inaccurate and we should avoid them.
    B．They are necessary since we cannot be always precise.
    C．They should be criticized because there are too many of them.
    D．Their value is not yet clear since we don’t know their meaning.
    小题2: Why do we do experiments with the words “many” and “some”?
    A．To prove people are insensitive to these words.
    B．To prove the words dominate our everyday speech.
    C．To find out how the meanings vary with age and contexts.
    D．To find out whether the words can mean a precise quantity.
    小题3: Which of the expressions means a larger chance in weather broadcast?
    A．PossibleB．ProbableC．Be likely toD．Be certain to
    小题4: Which of the following will least definitely influence the number of items a kid takes out of a box when he is invited to take “some”?
    A．Whether the quantity of items is large or small.
    B．Whether the items are candies or toys.
    C．Whether the kid is a toddler or a youngster.
    D．Whether the kid is alone or accompanied by other children.
    小题5: What will tell us about the intelligence of a child?
    A．The consistency of picking up a certain glass ball.
    B．How many glass balls he will take when he’s asked to.
    C．The difference between a lot and a few when he takes glass balls.
    D．Whether there are marked changes in his first pick and second one.

    One of the keys to being successful is persistence（坚持）．Once you have determined exactly what you want to achieve, you must take active action in order to succeed.
    One of the things you'll notice on your journey towards your goal are roadblocks. That is, you will come across obstacles（障碍） to discourage your progress. Actually, they are a part of life. Everyone would have every success they ever wanted if there were no obstacles. Your job is to be persistent and work through those obstacles. If you find little or no obstacles along the way, chances are that you are not really challenging yourself. And when you do reach your goal, you won't experience the feeling of "sweet success". Make your goal a challenging one!
    If you take the time to study any successful person, you will learn that the vast majority of them have had more "failures" than they have had "successes". This is because successful people are persistent; the more they stumble（绊倒）and fall, the more they get right back up and get going again. On the other hand, people that don't get back up and try again, never reach success. For example, Walt Disney was turned down 302 times before he got financing for his dream of creating the "Happiest Place on Earth". Today, due to his persistence, millions of people have shared "the joy of Disney".
    Having known these facts, keep in mind that you must constantly reevaluate（再评估）your circumstances and the approach you are using to reach your goal. There is no sense in being persistent at something that you are doing incorrectly! Sometimes you have to modify（修改）your approach along the way. Every time you do something you learn from it, and
    therefore find a better way to do it the next time.
    Today is the day to begin your journey, using consistency and persistency, towards tomorrow's successes!
    小题1:The author seems to hold the belief that      .
    A．challenges we come across are beneficial
    B．obstacles will surely lead to someone’s success
    C．the more obstacles we have, the more discouraged we feel
    D．it’s rewarding to enjoy the feeling of“sweet success”
    小题2:Which can be inferred from the text?
    A．Making a practical goal will ensure your success.
    B．Having a beautiful picture will lead to your success.
    C．Never giving up in face of failure may contribute to your success.
    D．Suffering from more failures will make you disappointed.
    小题3:What must you reevaluate constantly?
    A．Attitudes and skills.B．Circumstances and ways.
    C．Roadblocks and challenges.D．Failures and successes.
    小题4:What’s the text mainly about?
    A．Persistence makes for successB．Overcome obstacles
    C．Challenge yourselfD．Failure is the mother of success

    Five people are at our table, including myself. I’ve already learnt a great deal about them in the short time we’ve been at sea, although we rarely meet except at mealtimes.
    First of all, there is Dr. Stone. He is a man of about sixty-five, with gray hair and a friendly face. He gave up his work a short while ago and is now traveling round the world before he retires to some quite country village. As a young man, he served for many years as a doctor in the army and visited many countries. He’s told us a great deal about the city to which they are going.
    Then there is “Grandmother”. I call her that because her name escapes me. In spite of being a grandmother, she looks remarkable young, no more than fifty. She is on her way to visit a daughter who went to Australia some years ago. Naturally she is very excited at the thought of seeing her again, and her three grandchildren, whom she has never seen.
    Then there is a man I don’t care for very much, the engineer by the name of Barlow. He has been on leave in England and is now returning to his work in Singapore.
    The other person who sits at our table is Mrs. Hunt. I’ve found out hardly anything about her. She’s extremely quiet and rarely talks, except to consult the doctor about children’s various illnesses. She is on her way to join her husband in India.
    小题1:What can we know about Mr. Stone?
    A．He is a doctor in the army now.
    B．He is going to give up his work.
    C．He has been retired for many years.
    D．He knows a lot about the city the author is going to visit.
    小题2:Who live in India?
    A．Mrs. HuntB．GrandmotherC．Mr. HuntD．The doctor
    小题3:The writer calls the second person “Grandmother” because _____.
    A．She looks old.B．he respects herC．She has three daughtersD．he can’t think of her name
    小题4: The underlined phrase “on leave” in Paragraph 4 probably means _____.

    Down-to-earth means being honest, open, and easy to deal with. It is a pleasure to find someone who is down-to-earth. A person who is down-to-earth is easy to talk to. He or she accepts others as equals. A down-to-earth person may be an important member of society, of course, but they do not let their importance go to their heads, and they do not consider themselves to be better than others who are less important. Someone who is filled with self-importance and pride, often without cause, is said to have his nose in the air. There is no way a person with his nose in the air can be down-to-earth.
    Americans use another expression that is similar in some way to down-to-earth. The expression is both feet on the ground. Someone with both feet on the ground is a person with a good understanding of reality. He has what is called common sense. He may have dreams but he does not allow them to block his knowledge of what is real. The opposite kind of person is one who has his head in the clouds. A man with his head in the clouds is a dreamer whose mind is not in the world. Sometimes such a dreamer can be brought back to reality; sharp words from the teacher, for example, can usually get a daydreaming student to put both feet back on the ground.
    The person who is down-to-earth usually has both feet on the ground. But the opposite is not always true. Someone with both feet on the ground may not be as open and easy to deal with as someone who is down-to-earth. When we have both our feet firmly on the ground, we are realistic and we act honestly and openly toward others, and our lives are like the ground below us, solid and strong.
