【題目】 What does it take to graduate from university? Some papers or high scores in exams? Well, these are not enough if you are a student at Tsinghua University.

According to a new rule of the university, students must prove themselves in the swimming pool. They need to pass a swimming test of at least 50 meters, and those who fail the test will be required to take a swimming course throughout their school years. By the time they graduate, they will have known how to swim; otherwise they can't graduate with their bachelor's deegrs(學(xué)士學(xué)位).

The news made waves in Chinese social media(媒體). Some people praised the university for requiring a necessary skill that can save lives, and they also believed that the rule would help improve students' health. However, others questioned if it was fair to expect those who come from inland cities(內(nèi)陸城市） to be able to swim.

In fact, this is not a new rule. Tsinghua University first made swimming a requirement in 1919 but later gave it up because the number of students became too large and there were not enough swimming pools in the school for them to learn swimming.

Anyway, it is sill good news that Chinese students' health has become more and more valued.

Why not just take this chance to learn one more life-saving ability?

【1】According to the passage, what does it take for a student to graduate from Tsinghua University?

【2】The underlined phrase "made waves" in Paragraph 3 most probably means ________.

【答案】

【1】D

【2】A

【3】B

【解析】

本文是一篇議論文。在清華大學(xué)要取得學(xué)士學(xué)位就必須通過(guò)游泳測(cè)試。這引起了媒體的熱議：一些人認(rèn)為這有助于改善學(xué)生的健康狀況，而另一些人則質(zhì)疑其對(duì)學(xué)生的公平性。

【1】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段以及第二段中的“They need to pass a swimming test of at least 50 meters, …By the time they graduate, they will have known how to swim; otherwise they can't graduate with their bachelor's deegrs(學(xué)士學(xué)位). ”可知，A、B和C項(xiàng)都是學(xué)生畢業(yè)需要的條件。故選D。

【2】

詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)“Some people praised the university…However, others questioned…”可以推知，這則消息在媒體上引起了熱議。因此made waves是“引起熱議”的意思，即：caused a heated discussion。故選A。

【3】

主旨大意題。通讀全文可知，文章介紹了清華大學(xué)的一項(xiàng)新的畢業(yè)規(guī)則。故選B。

【題目】 Hairstyle is thought to be a personal style choice.

However, some Chinese students are required by their school to have unified (統(tǒng)—的) haircuts, with short hair for male students and shoulder-length hair for female students. Some students don't like such hairstyles and have broken the rules in school.

A complaint letter by a middle school student in Fuzhou, Fujian province as well as the response of the local education bureau (教育局) to the letter has caught public attention. The letter has sparked (引發(fā)) public discussion on whether schools should control how students wear their hair.

In the letter, which was published recently on Fuzhou's 12345 website, the student wrote, “I think the so-called 'good purposes' of the school are wrong and I highly question whether this kind requirement really helps students to develop good habits and show good appearances," the student said.

The school told students that it is easy for teenage male students to pay more attention to beautiful female students, so the school wants girls to have simple appearances and develop their talents, the letter said.

"I think these words are a complete lie. How can you expect someone to have a colourful future if he or she does not know how to look attractive? Why does the school need to make all the teenage boys pay no attention to girls? Doesn't the school need more sexual (性別的) education?

"Teenagers should be colourful and different. Isn't it boring when people look back on their teenage years and can only remember ugly haircuts and same uniforms? Why can't the school give students a choice to be themselves? "

The Fuzhou education bureau wrote back to the student and said it proves that the writer is a good student with his own thoughts, courage and truth-seeking spirit. The schools ask students to have unified haircuts and wear uniforms because it is easy for teenagers to pay much attention to their appearances and little attention to their studies, the bureau said. Collectivism (集體主義) is very important for the country's development. Although the city has required students to have unified haircuts, schools can set different hairstyle standards that allow students to show their personal styles.

Debate (討論) on hairstyle

Student

The purposes of the school are 【1】 of the students’ wills.

It's 【2】 for students to follow school’s requirement to develop good habits and show good appearances.

Local education bureau

The local education bureau wrote back and 【4】 the student's good characters.

It's necessary to develop collectivism by having unified haircuts and wearing uniforms.

Besides, school rules can be 【5】 by setting different standards to meet students' reasonable needs.

【題目】 In a faraway country, there were two carpenters (木匠) who were both so good at their job that no one could tell who was better.

One day, the country's king thought of a way to figure out which one was better. He would have them compete against each other in a contest. The winner would become the official royal（皇家的）carpenter.

The king sent for the two carpenters and the contest began. The carpenters were given three days to carve (雕刻) a wooden mouse. Whoever carved the most lifelike mouse would be the winner.

The first carpenter carved a fine mouse with vivid (生動(dòng)的) and lifelike feature. The second carpenter's mouse, however, looked quite rough. In fact, it hardly even looked like a mouse at all.

The king and his ministers (大臣) agreed that the first carpenter was the winner.

The second carpenter said, "This judgment is unfair. We should ask a cat which mouse looks the most realistic. Cats can recognize mice much better than humans, after all."

The king thought this was a good idea. He ordered his ministers to catch several cats and bring them to judge (評(píng)判) the carpenters' mice. Surprisingly, all of the cats were more attracted to the second carpenter's mouse.

The king asked the second carpenter, "How did you make the cats believe that your mouse looked more real?" The carpenter said, "Your Majesty, if you look closely, you can see that I carved a mouse holding a fishbone! The cats care not about how real it looks, but how delicious it might taste."

【1】Whose carved mouse looked quite rough?

A.Neither of the two carpenters'B.Both of the two carpenters'

C.The first carpenter'sD.The second carpenter's

【2】Why did they catch some cats to judge the two carpenters' works?

A.Because they thought cats could recognize mice much better than humans.

B.Because people didn't like the two carpenters' carved mice.

C.Because they wanted to cancel the difficult contest.

D.Because they all wanted to become the official royal carpenter.

【3】What’s the correct order of the following things?

① They caught some cats to judge the two carpenters' carved mice.

② The second carpenter became the final winner at last.

③ The king and his ministers agreed the first carpenter was the winner.

④ The king held a contest to choose the best carpenter.

A.①②③④B.④③①②C.③②①④D.④②①③

【4】What's the best title of this article?

A.Two Silly Carpenters.B.An Unfair Contest.

C.A Clever Carpenter.D.A Mouse and Cats.
