【題目】There are many different voices on charity donations recently. Chen TianQiao, one of the Chinese billionaires, gave away $115 million to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to help promote brain research. Chen has been interested in the brain research, believing it can advance the industries of artificial intelligence and virtual reality. However, this huge donation has caused heated discussions among Chinese scholars and internet users.

Many criticized him for giving money to a foreign university rather than domestic institutes for brain research, which are developing fast and are catching up with the US in just a few years. RaoYi, a biologist at Peking University, even said the donation was a typical mistake.

Others, however, support his choice. They believe Caltech is a more reasonable choice compared with Chinese research Institutes. Caltech has a long history and has taken a leading position in biology, and therefore it produces more efficient results. What’s more, the results of the research will benefit not only the Americans, but also the rest of the world.

A similar controversial (有爭(zhēng)議的) case started two years ago when Pan ShiYi, chairman of SOHO China, donated $15 million to Harvard University to help disadvantaged Chinese Students.

Many believe that China is still far behind in management and use of donated money, and that as a result, Chinese donators are looking abroad. In comparison, Western countries like the US, which have a long history of donating money, have well-developed systems that use money efficiently. They can also provide full access for donors who want to track the use of the money. To get more donations, Chinese universities should be braver and more honest. They need self-reflection rather than envy.

【1】Why did Chen’s huge donations draw people’s attention?

A. It was used for brain research rather than for the poor.

B. It was not used efficiently.

C. It was the largest donation.

D. It should have been donated to a Chinese college.

【2】Which of the followings can best replace the underlined word “domestic” in the second paragraph?

A. home B. family

C. household D. homepage

【3】The example of PanShiYi was used to ________.

A. inform some Chinese students are poor at education

B. show off the generosity of Chinese billionaires

C. present the widespread disagreement over donating abroad

D. prove the Chinese are crazy about donations

【4】What is the main advice does the author give to the Chinese universities?

A. Developing artificial intelligence.

B. Educating the braver and more honest graduates.

C. Developing fast to catch up with the US.

D. Developing systems to use the donations efficiently.

【答案】

【1】D

【2】A

【3】C

【4】D

【解析】本文主要講了中國(guó)有很多的富人把錢捐贈(zèng)給國(guó)外大學(xué)，而不是國(guó)內(nèi)的大學(xué)。作者針對(duì)這一問(wèn)題建議中國(guó)的大學(xué)應(yīng)該發(fā)展有效使用捐贈(zèng)的體系。

【1】推理判斷題。由Many criticized him for giving money to a foreign university rather than domestic institutes for brain research, which are developing fast and are catching up with the US in just a few years.可推知Chen的巨額捐款引起了人們的廣泛關(guān)注是因?yàn)樗緫?yīng)該被捐給中國(guó)的大學(xué)，選D。

【2】詞義猜測(cè)題。Many criticized him for giving money to a foreign university rather than domestic institutes for brain research這句話的意思是許多人批評(píng)他把錢捐給了國(guó)外，而不是國(guó)內(nèi)的腦研究學(xué)院，所以“domestic”的意思是國(guó)內(nèi)的，選A。

【3】推理判斷題。由A similar controversial (有爭(zhēng)議的) case started two years ago when Pan ShiYi, chairman of SOHO China, donated $15 million to Harvard University to help disadvantaged Chinese Students.可推斷出例舉潘石屹的例子是為了說(shuō)明捐錢給國(guó)外，人們對(duì)待此事看法的不同，選C。

【4】推理判斷題。由To get more donations, Chinese universities should be braver and more honest. They need self-reflection rather than envy.可推知作者給中國(guó)大學(xué)的建議是發(fā)展有效使用捐贈(zèng)的體系，選D。

【題目】More than nine out of ten young people expose themselves to the blue light from smartphones before bed, causing problems with sleep. A new survey also shows more than 28 million people in the UK regularly get no more than seven hours sleep a night. Prof Richard Wiseman, who commissioned the YouGov poll described the findings as “extremely worrying”. Of the 2,149 adults questioned, 78% said they used electronic devices before going to bed. This rose to 91% among the 18 to 24-year-olds questioned in the survey.

Getting less than seven hours sleep a night is below the recommended guidelines, and is associated with a range of problems, including an increased risk of weight gain, heart attacks, diabetes and cancer. “The blue light from these devices suppresses(壓制) the production of the sleep—inducing hormone melatonin, so it’s important to avoid them before bedtime,” said Prof Richard Wiseman, from the University of Hertfordshire.

Everyone needs different amounts of sleep, but adults are generally thought to require a minimum of seven to eight hours a night. Teenagers are recommended to get more, about nine hours. The proportion(比例) of people thought to be getting too little sleep has risen by a fifth since a “bedroom poll” conducted last year by the National Sleep Foundation.

Last week revealed opticians were warning that the overuse of smartphones may be increasing people’s risk of eye damage. Optician Andy Hepworth said, “Blue violet light is potentially harmful to the back of your eyes.” So over a long period of time it can damage your eyes. When you’re looking at a smartphone, the light peaking out of that is blue violet. The news came as a survey of 2,000 people suggests under-25s check their smartphones 32 times a day.

【1】The purpose of the passage is to ________.

A. stress that people shouldn’t use smartphones

B. remind people of enough sleep

C. ask people not to sleep too much

D. tell people not to use smartphones before bed

【2】Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A. According to a new survey, more than 28 million people in the UK get more than seven hours sleep a night

B. More than 90% of young people expose themselves to the blue light from smartphones before bed.

C. Of the 2,149 adults questioned , 91% said they used electronic devices before going to bed.

D. The news came as a survey of 2,000 people suggests under-25s check their smartphones 30 times a day.

【3】According to what Andy Heoworth said , the overuse of smartphones may be increasing people’s risk of _________.

A. weight gain

B. cancer

C. eye damage

D. heart attacks

【4】Teenagers are generally thought to get sleep of _____a night.

A. about 9 hours

B. 7—8 hours

C. less than 7 hours

D. more than 10 hours

【題目】If you want to learn English well, enlarging your vocabulary is important. Here are some helpful ways to help you to have a larger vocabulary.

【1】A good dictionary should be up-to-date and easy to understand. Make sure the definitions (定義) are written in clear English. I strongly recommend Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English as there is good coverage of spoken and written English, British and American English, as well as clear example sentences.

Make notes of new words. But before you write them down on you notebook, you should look them up in the dictionary and make sure you are aware of any grammatical information.【2】When you write down the new word in your notebook, try to include an example sentence in English.

Organize your notes into themes. Some people find it very helpful to do so. 【3】For example, you can have one page containing words which have something to do with houses, while another page containing words relating to jobs, and so on.

【4】The next time you have spare time, skip through your notebook. Choose a page where you have already stored a number of words and expressions, cover the page and try to remember what you wrote. Then look at the page and see how many words you have remembered.

When you find a new word, check to see if you can use it in other ways. English is a flexible language—nouns, verbs and adjectives often share the same root. 【5】

A. Review the words in your notebook.

B. Have good English dictionaries.

C. Read books that contain some new words.

D. Look up new words and phrases in your dictionary.

E. For example, love, lovely, beloved and loveless all share one root.

F. For example, if you are looking up a verb, check to see if it can be used in a passive form.

G. So rather than have a list of words without any obvious connection, you can divide your notes into themes.

【題目】閱讀理解
B
Getting less sleep has become a bad habit for most American kids. According to a new survey(調(diào)查) by the National Sleep Foundation, 51% of kids aged 10 to 18 go to bed at 10 pm or later on school nights, even though they have to get up early. Last year the Foundation reported that nearly 60% of 7- to 12-year-olds said they felt tired during the day, and 15% said they had fallen asleep at school.
How much sleep you need depends a lot on your age. Babies need a lot of rest: most of them sleep about 18 hours a day! Adults need about eight hours. For most school-age children, ten hours is ideal(理想的). But the new National Sleep Foundation survey found that 35% of 10- to 12-year-olds get only seven or eight hours. And guess what almost half of the surveyed kids said they do before bedtime? Watch TV.
“More children are going to bed with TVs on, and there are more opportunities(機(jī)會(huì)) to stay awake, with more homework, the Internet and the phone,” says Dr. Mary Carskadon, a sleep researcher at Brown University Medical School. She says these activities at bedtime can get kids all excited and make it hard for them to calm down and sleep. Other experts say part of the problem is chemical. Changing levels of body chemicals called hormones not only make teenagers' bodies develop adult characteristics, but also make it hard for teenagers to fall asleep before 11 pm.
Because sleepiness is such a problem for teenagers, some school districts have decided to start high school classes later than they used to. Three years ago, schools in Edina, Minnesota, changed the start time from 7:25 am to 8:30 am. Students, parents and teachers are pleased with the results.
（1）What is the new National Sleep Foundation survey on?
A.American kids' sleeping habits.
B.Teenagers' sleep-related diseases.
C.Activities to prevent sleeplessness.
D.Learning problems and lack of sleep.
（2）How many hours of sleep do 11-year-olds need every day?
A.7 hours.
B.8 hours.
C.10 hours.
D.18 hours.
（3）Why do teenagers go to sleep late according to Carskadon?
A.They are affected by certain body chemicals.
B.They tend to do things that excite them.
C.They follow their parents' examples.
D.They don't need to go to school early.
