I welcome the kind of debate about the value of higher education.It is necessary to remember， however，that Ellsberg also tells how important it is to make money．He mentions a number of college dropouts一such as Bill Gates and Michael Dell一to show how successful they have become without the benefit of a college degree．While Ellsberg stresses the achievements of dropouts，he includes degree holders who have become wealthy and famous．For example，of the current Fortune 500 CEOs，some 99％have a college degree．Similarly，of the Forbes 400 richest people in America，81％hold postseconda.ry（高等）degrees.
But in the discussion，what is forgotten about the value is that the purpose of education is not simply to enable one to earn a living but to prepare one for living over the course of life ．What is also left out of the debate about higher education is that its purpose is not just to provide a pathway covered with gold for the nation’s elites（精英）．If we have the discussion that way，we may look down upon the people who devote themselves to other ordinary jobs that form the basic structures（结构）of our society，Though these individuals may not be reaching for the kind of stars that Michael Ellsberg and others would have them grasp，most are doing something even more important：they are involved in the useful tasks of good citizens and contributing to the common welfare，including providing for their families．

试题分析:上大学有用吗？在大学我们能接受到什么样的教育呢？这些教育能够对我们的生活起到什么作用呢？在本文中作者就The Education of Millionaires这本书中的观点进行了论述，指出大学教育给人们提供了一种生活的能力以及正确的人生态度。
小题1:D推理判断题。作者在文章开头指出在大学学到的很多东西很少能够应用于实际生活，再提出So Ellsberg has written the book to tell“the capabilities and attitudes that will get you improved outside the classroom．”，然后在下文讲述了大学教育在实际生活中的作用，由此判断在本文中作者主要讨论大学学位的实际价值，所以D选项正确。
小题2:C细节理解题。在第二段中作者指出While Ellsberg stresses the achievements of dropouts，he includes degree holders who have become wealthy and famous．然后用数字证明了在500名CEO中99%都是受过大学教育的，同样在福布斯榜上400名最富的美国人中81%也具有高等教育文凭，由此判断C选项正确。
小题3:D细节理解题。从文章末段most are doing something even more important：they are involved in the useful tasks of good citizens and contributing to the common welfare可以判断作者同样认为普通人的工作也是非常重要的，显示了作者对这些人的尊重，故答案选D。
小题4:B推理判断题。作者在文章开头引用Michael Ellsberg在新书The Education of Millionaires中的话说明大学教育在人们实际生活中的作用，然后提出1, welcome the kind of debate about the value of higher education，在下文围绕此话题展开论述，由此判断本文是对The Education of Millionaires这本新书的评论，所以B选项正确。

“We knew that children learn well with their moms or with a peer, but we did not know if that was because they were getting feedback and help,” Bethany Rittle-Johnson, the study’s lead author and assistant professor of psychology at Vanderbilt’s Peabody College of education and human development, said. “In this study, we just had the children’s mothers listen, without providing any assistance. We’ve found that by simply listening, a mother helps her child learn.”
Rittle-Johnson believes the new finding can help parents better assist their children with their schoolwork, even when they are not sure of the answer themselves. Although the researchers used children and their mothers in the study, they believe the same results will hold true whether the person is the child’s father, grandparent, or other familiar persons.
“The basic idea is that it is really effective to try to get kids to explain things themselves instead of just telling them the answer,” she said. “Explaining their reasoning, to a parent or perhaps to other people they know, will help them understand the problem and apply what they have learned to other situations. We saw that this simple act of listening by mom made a difference in the quality of the child’s explanations and how well they could solve more difficult problems later on.
小题1:According to the passage, a mom had better ________.
| A．give a kid some help when he is explaining his problem |
| B．just listen while a kid is explaining his problem |
| C．work together with a kid toward the solution to a problem |
| D．leave a kid alone when he meets a problem at school |
| A．should know the answer to a problem first |
| B．should pay attention to the child’s feedback. |
| C．may not know the answer herself |
| D．should not interrupt the child |
| A．The kid’s mom. |
| B．The kid’s grandmother. |
| C．A peer. |
| D．A relative the kid doesn’t know. |
| A．Children learn better when their mom is hearing their explaining. |
| B．Children learn better if they find the solution to a problem themselves. |
| C．Parents should not provide any assistance to their children’s schoolwork. |
| D．A mom should listen more to their children when they have problems at school. |
The study, conducted by neuroscientists (神经学家)and psychologist from the University of Maryland, concluded that women talked more because they had more of the Foxp2 protein. The research, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, found that higher levels were found among humans that were women but in rats that were males. Their findings came after it was previously claimed that ladies speak about 20,000 words a day – over 13,000 more than men. “This study is one of the first to report a sex difference in the expression of a language-associated protein in humans or animals,” said Prof Margaret McCarthy, who led the study. In their study, the researchers attempted to determine what might make male rats more vocal than their female friends.
They separated four-day-old rats from their mothers and then counted the number of times they cried out in the “ultrasonic range”, the frequencies higher than humans can hear, over five minutes. While both sexes called out hundreds of cries, the males called out twice as often, they found. But when the pups were returned to their mother’s cage, she fussed over her sons first. Tests conducted on the parts of the brain known to be associated with vocalcalls showed the male pups have up to twice as much Foxp2 protein as the females. The researchers then increased the production in the brains of female pups and reduced it in males. This led to the female rats crying out more often and their mothers showing more interest to them. In contrast, males became less “talkative”.
The researchers then tested samples from ten children, aged between three and five, which showed that females had up to 30 per cent more of the Foxp2 protein than males, in a brain area key to language in humans.
“Based on our observations, we assume higher levels of Foxp2 in girls and higher levels of Foxp2 in male rats is an indication that Foxp2 protein levels are associated with the more communicative sex,” said Prof McCarthy. “Our results imply Foxp2 as a component of the neurobiological basis of sex differences in vocal communication in mammals. “
小题1:From the second paragraph, we can learn that ________.
| A．women always speak more words than men |
| B．men and male rats have low levels of language protein |
| C．women and male rats have similar levels of Foxp2 |
| D．McCarthy isn’t the first to find females more talkative |
| A．paid attention to | B．related to | C．put pressure on | D．counted on |
| A．test which part of the brain is key to language in rats and humans |
| B．prove the levels of Foxp2 protein in humans and rats are different |
| C．determine the reason why female rats are more talkative than male rats |
| D．discover the association between Foxp2 protein and vocal communication |
| A．Tests on humans and rats |
| B．Why women are the talkative sex |
| C．Sex differences in Foxp2 protein |
| D．Foxp2 protein determines oral ability |
I miss one teacher in particular that I had in high school. I think she was a good teacher because she was a very strict person. I remember very vividly (清晰地) a sign over her classroom door. It was a simple sign that said, “Laboratory—in this room the first five letters of the word was emphasized (强调), not the last seven.” In other words, I guess, labor for her was more important than oratory, which means making speeches.
She prepared her work very carefully and demanded us to do the same. We got lots of homework from her. Once she had broken her arm, and everybody in the class thought that maybe the homework load would be reduced, but it continued just the same. She checked our work by stamping her name at the bottom of the papers to show that she had read them.
I think sometimes teachers who demand the most are liked the least. But as time goes by, this discipline really seems to benefit (有益于) the students.
小题1:Which of the following is considered a good teacher by the writer?
| A．A patient teacher. | B．An honest teacher. |
| C．A strict teacher. | D．A hard-working teacher. |
| A．to remind the students that this room was a laboratory |
| B．to advise the students to follow the disciplines |
| C．to warn the students not to be careless |
| D．to tell the students to work hard in the classroom |
| A．gave her students the usual amount of homework |
| B．gave her students less homework |
| C．asked her students to check the homework themselves |
| D．gave her students more homework |
| A．It makes the students dislike their teachers. |
| B．It does good to the students in the long run. |
| C．It’s too much for young children. |
| D．It does more harm than good to the students. |
Hu told reporters on Saturday that the "Dawning 6000" supercomputer, developed by the Institute of Computing Technology of CAS and the Dawning Information Industry Company (DIIC), will adopt Loongson microchips for the first time as its core parts. It will have a computing speed of more than 1,000 trillion operations a second.
Making supercomputers with Chinese microchips is one of the nation"s major science and technology projects. Three organizations - the Institute of Computing Technology of CAS, Jiangnan Institute of Computing Technology and the National University of Defense Technology (NUDT) - have their own supercomputer projects.
According to their schedules, all three institutions will need to meet the target of using domestically（国内的） developed microchips by the end of this year. Hu said the new supercomputer will use fewer than 10,000 Loongson microchips, and will also be more energy-efficient.
Tianhe-1A, developed by NUDT in Hunan"s provincial capital Changsha, is the fastest supercomputer in the world. However, Tianhe-1A largely runs on 14,336 CPUs made by Intel, and 7,186 GPUs (processing units) from Nvidia, two US chip-makers.
Hu said there will be difficulties ahead as there is little affiliated equipment specially developed for these supercomputers. "We have enough supercomputers in China but still can"t make full use of them," He said.
Hu added that although the China-made CPUs have improved since they were first produced in 2002, they have a long way to go to compete with US chip-makers such as Intel.
小题1:What’s the best title for this passage?
| A．The Arrival of Chinese Supercomputers |
| B．Homemade CPUs with a Long Way to Go |
| C．The Supercomputers of Three Organizations in China |
| D．Homemade CPUs on the Way for Local Supercomputers |
| A．Dawning 6000 | B．Loongson microchips |
| C．DIIC | D．Tianhe-1A |
A. Not all the parts of Tianhe-1A are made by China.
B. Tianhe-1A is developed by CAS and DIIC.
C. Tianhe-1A will use fewer than 10,000 Loongson microchips.
D. NUDT has produced a most powerful supercomputer in China.
小题4:The underlined word “affiliated” can be replaced by_______.
| A．cheap | B．suitable | C．expensive | D．modern |
As children grow, develop, and move into early adolescence, contacts with one"s peers and the attraction of peer identification (认同)increases. As pre-adolescents begin rapid physical, emotional and social changes, they begin to question adult standards and the need for parental guidance. They find it good to turn for advice to friends who understand— friends who are in the same position themselves. By trying new things and testing their ideas with their peers, there is less fear of being laughed at.
There are two levels of peer pressure. The first is in the large group: for most teens a school or a youth group are examples. This is the situation that gets the most attention. The second is in the close relationship with one or several best friends. This is the situation that is sometimes disregarded. The large group puts a general pressure on its members. It sets the standard for clothing, music, entertainment, and "political correctness". The pressure can be avoided by keeping quiet or by putting on the appearance of agreement.
小题1:Why can’t some children follow their common sense?
| A．Because they want to be liked by everybody. |
| B．Because they don’t want to make fun of others. |
| C．Because they are curious about their new friends. |
| D．Because they think all the children will do the same. |
| A．Parents | B．Teachers | C．Friends | D．Classmates |
| A．unnoticed | B．mentioned | C．disagreed | D．avoided |
| A．The reasons of peer pressure. |
| B．The advantages of peer pressure. |
| C．Peer pressure from close friends. |
| D．Peer pressure from a youth group. |
