3．The literal meaning of philosophy is"love of wisdom"．But this meaning does not tell us very much．Unlike the other disciplines，philosophy cannot be defined by what you study，because it is actually unlimited．Anything can be the subject matter of philsophy：history，law，language，literature，mathematics，and in fact，the other academic disciplines are directly related to philosophy．For this reason you get a Doctorate of Philosophy （Ph．D．） in biochemistry，or computer science，or psychology．
Two broad sub-fields of philosophy are logic and the history of philosophy．Logic is the science of agument and critical thinking．It provides sound methods for distinguishing good from bad reasoning．The history of philosophy involves the study of major philosophers and periods in the development of philosophy．
Of what use is philosophy？First it is useful in educational advancement．It is necessary for understanding other disciplines．Only philosophy questions the nature of the concepts used in a discipline，and its relation to other disciplines．And through the study of philosophy，one develops sound methods of research and analysis that can be applied to any field．
There are a number of general uses of philosophy．It strengthens one's ability to solve problems，to communicate，to organize ideas and issues，to persuade，and to take what is the most important from a large quantity of data．These general uses are of great benefit in the career field，not necessarily for obtaining one's first job after graduation，but for preparing for positions of responsibility，management and leadership later on．It is very short-sighted after all，to take a course of studies only for the purpose of getting one's first job．The useful skills developed through the study of philosophy have significant long-term benefits in career advancement．No other discipline systematically follows the ideals of wisdom，leadership，and capacty to resolve human conflict．

36．According to paragraph 1，philosophy can best be described as the study ofC
A．social sciences                
B．natural sciences
C．both social and natural sciences

A．become a great leader 
B．succeed in everything
C．find a good job soon after graduation
D．make progress in your career development

A．Philosophy is an independent discipline．
B．Logic helps you to become a better thinker．
C．The study of philosophy brings you immediate benefits．
D．The meaning of philosophy is too limited to define．
40．From the passage，we can conclude．C
A．not all the subjects have to do with philosophy
B．a(chǎn) person will get a Ph．D．if he/she studies philosophy
C．philosophy can be helpful for the study of any other subjects
D．philosophy is the only solution to all the problems in the world．

The chances are that you’ve walked past a QR Code(二維碼) or come into contact with one recently, possibly without noticing. Even if you haven’t seen one before, here are some examples for you.

But what exactly are QR Codes? Very simply, they are bar-codes, not too dissimilar to the bar-codes you saw on the package of almost every product you bought. QR Codes are combined with multiple rows and columns(列), which allows QR Code to stone its data.

QR Codes started out in the East but their popularity exploded worldwide within a few years. They are flexible, cheap, easy to read by scanners as simple as an App on your smart phone and easy for anybody to create. The direction of reading the QR codes is not limited. Even when damaged there is a chance that they are still readable. Unlike traditional bar-codes which are 1 dimensional （using 1 row of lines）, QR Codes use 2 dimensions, which allows them to store a lot more data in the same area of space.

But can a picture or music be stored in a QR Code? Images and sounds consume much more data than text and a QR Code is limited to storing 3kb of data. The size of an image will need to be made so small to be stored that it will be impractical to do so. So it is with songs. In fact if you have a need to present the user with an image or kick off a music stream when they scan your QR Code, why not look to host it somewhere and then have your QR code simply linked to the content?

Not only have QR Codes surely brought us great convenience, but also security concerns at the same time. For example, a QR Code may be covered by one designed by a cheater on purpose, without being recognized. You sign up entering all your account details only to find the following day someone has gained access to your account because of the information you entered in that website.

1.What do we know about QR Codes?

A. They can be scanned from any direction

B. They use 1 row of lines to store data.

C. They are readable when damaged.

D. They are flexible but not cheap.

2.Which is one big drawback of QR Codes?

A. A QR Code can be linked to somewhere else.

B. QR Codes cannot be used to present a picture.

C. A QR Code can store data of no more than 3kb.

D. QR Codes can only be read with an app on your smart phone.

3.From the text we can infer that _______.

A. traditional bar-codes have an advantage over QR codes in storing data

B. we had better pay attention to the security when using QR codes

C. it makes sense to store a song of a picture in a QR code

D. QR Codes are so dangerous that they are not worth using

4.The text mainly talks about______.

A. the use of QR Codes

B. the disadvantages of QR Codes

C. the advantages of QR Codes

D. the formation of QR Codes

18．At Dulles High school in Sugar Land，Texas，the roster（候選名單）for Advanced Chinese begins with Jason Chao and ends with Kathy Zhang．In between comes an unexpected name：Elizabeth Hoffman．Hoffman，now a 12th grader，began learning Chinese in the eighth grade，has spent a summer studying in Nanjing and plans to perfect her Mandarin next fall．When asked by her peers---why she is learning Chinese，she responds with a question："why aren't you？"
    As China rushes toward superpower status，America's schools and government officials are responding to Hoffman's opinion．Earlier this year Rush Holt of New Jersey introduced legislation（立法）calling for increased money of programs for less commonly taught languages，"For reasons of economics，culture and security，we should have much better facilities（設(shè)備）with Chinese languages and dialects，"he said．The State Department has pointed out Chinese is becoming a"critical language"，but the most recent data show that only 24，000 students in Grade 7 to Grade 12 study Chinese．
    Still，the number is growing．In Chicago public schools，enrollment in Chinese classes has skyrocked from 5000 students in 2005 to nearly 35，000 students this year．In the Santa Clara County，California，enrollment has quadrupled during the same period．In 2007，when the College Board first introduces advanced-placement language exams in Chinese and Italian，2，400 high school plan to offer AP Chinese---10 times the number of students that plan to offer AP Italian．
    Much of the interest can be explained by China's increasing competitiveness．"People are always trying to judge what languages are going to be useful for the future，"says Marty Abbot，the director of education at the National Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages，Stephanie Wong，a student At Monta Vista High School in Cupertino，California，chose Chinese so that she could speak with her grandfather．Wong also predicted that Chinese will be important if she becomes a doctor.80 percent of people in her hometown are Asians．
32．What does the first paragraph mainly discuss？D
A．Dulles High School offers a Chinese course                
B．Jason and Kathy are the top students at Dulles School
C．Elizabeth Hoffman suggests her school offer a Chinese course 
D．Elizabeth Hoffman takes the lead in learning Chinese
33．According to the text，Chinese is becoming a"critical language"becauseC．
A．American government has pointed it out     
B．Rush Holt introduced legislation calling for opening Chinese
C．China rushes toward superpower status      
D．many students in the world choose to learn Chinese
34．Barouses America's schools interest in Chinese．
A．The fact that Chinese is becoming a"critical language"
B．China's increasing competitiveness in the world
C．The beautiful Chinese traditional culture            
D．The population of people speaking Chinese
35．We can infer from the passage thatD
A．more money will be spent on facilities with Chinese languages
B．in America，more people speak Italian than Chinese
C．the number of enrollment in Chinese classes will be increasing forever
D．if a language is useful for the future it may become a critical language．

8．For 10 years，I've been teaching animal behavior and conservation biology at the Boulder County Prison in Colorado．The course，mainly dealing with animal science，is one of the most popular in the prison．Prisoners have to earn the right to enroll （注冊(cè)學(xué)習(xí)） and they work hard to get in．
One reason the course is so popular is that many prisoners find it easier to connect with animals than with people，because animals don't judge them．Many of the prisoners had lived with dogs，cats and other companion animals who were their best friends．They trust and empathize with animals with animals in ways they don't with humans．
Nevertheless，people，they have a misunderstanding of how animals treat one another．The prisoners have often had enough of"nature red in tooth and claw"：many believe that their own"animal behavior"is what got them into trouble in the first place．I teach that though there is  competition and aggression in the animal kingdom，there is also a lot of cooperation，empathy （共鳴） and sympathy．I explain that these behaviors are examples of"wild justice，"and this idea makes them rethink what it means to be an animal．
Many of the students desire to build healthy relationships，and they find that the class helps them．I use examples of the social behavior of group-living animals such as wolves as a model for developing and maintaining friendships among individuals who must work together for their own good and also for the good of the group．
It's clear that science inspires the students：our exchanges rival those that I've had in university classes．It also gives them hope．I know some students have gone back into education after their release while others have gone to work for humane societies or contributed time and money to conservation organizations．One went on to receive a master's degree in nature writing．
Science and humane education help the prisoners connect with values that they otherwise would not have done．It opens the door to understanding，trust，cooperation，community and hope．There's a large untapped population of individuals to whom science could mean a lot，if only they could get exposure to it．The class helps me，too．I get as much out of it as the students and it has made me a better teacher on the outside．

67．Why do many prisoners find it easier to get along with animals？A
A．Because animals don't judge them．
B．Because animals are their best friends．
C．Because animals are more sympathetic．
D．Because animals are their good companions．
68．What can be learnt about"animal behavior"according to Paragraph 3？D
A．It causes much trouble．
B．It means blood and cruelty．
C．It leads people to go to prison．
D．It includes both bad and good behaviors．
69．The author used wovles as an example toC．
A．explain the cruel side of group-living animals
B．provide the prisoners with more knowledge
C．help the prisoners understand the importance of cooperation
D．inform the prisoners that animals are cleverer than humans
70．What is the passage mainly about？B
A．Relationship between animals and prisoners．
B．Benefits of animal science course in the prison．
C．Difficulties in getting in animal science course．
D．Development of animal science in the prison．

15．Writing a book review is not like writing a fiction，where you have your freedom to express any type of literary mood．Here，you are limited within the scope，which is related only to the book or the literature and nothing else．To write a proper literary review，you should follow some important dos and don'ts，which are discussed here．
Top 3dos
Select a literature of your choice and read it thoroughly．If required，you should read it multiple times，before you really frame up the literary review in your mind．While reading，try to assimilate the thoughts and philosophy of the author behind the book and also to analyze all the characters and events described in the literary piece．Start to pen down your literary analysis only when you have a complete understanding of the book，and not before that．
Prepare your write-up based on your understanding of the book．Since you are reviewing the book，your opinion plays an important role here．If you prefer any particular character or any particular instance from the book，then expose that character or the situation in your review，to give it more importance．Also determine your preference with supporting logic．Ultimately it is your understanding of the book，and it can differ from others'viewpoint．But you should stick to your opinion．
Follow a proper format to construct your book review．It should have a proper introduction and a conclusion，other than the usual subject body．Distribute the subject body in chapters and paragraphs，to give a nice，structured look．Also，add a list of reference material at the end of the book．A structured material always carries a good impression and also，it helps the reader to go through the article at ease．
Top 3don'ts
Book reviews are not exactly meant for writing a summary on the books．The objective of writing a book review is to arouse the curiosity in the mind of the readers．If someone mentions everything in the summary then the actual intention is lost．
As mentioned earlier，one should not cross your limit to write a literary review．Do not bring up unnecessary topics to increase the length of the write-up，which is not at all related to the book．The readers want to learn about the book and not something irrelevant．Also，a smart and crisp writing helps to create a positive impression．
You can go through reference books or articles on your subject，before you start preparing your article．But that should be completely with the intention of getting help in your understanding of the book．These reference items will help to strengthen your grip on the subject．But，you should never copy a single line of text from any other document or write-up．Plagiarism（剽竊），in any form，is a punishable offence by law．It will also destroy your reputation and close all the future avenues in this field．
If you can follow the above dos and don'ts religiously to write a book review，then it is going to be more original and interesting．

70．Which of the following words is closest in meaning to the underlined word"assimilate"in paragraph 2？C
A．stimulate B．fertilize C．digest D．enhance
71．The purpose of writing a review on a book isD．
A．to show your understanding of the thoughts and philosophy of the author behind the book
B．to show that you really stick to your own opinion though you've read the book
C．to arouse readers'curiosity to read more books on irrelevant topics
D．to spark readers'interests in finding the book and reading it
72．Which of the following is NOT true about the"dos"？B
A．Before writing a book review，you'd better read it thoroughly or many times．
B．Write down your literary analysis when reading the book．
C．If you are interested in certain situation in the book，you can hardly give it too much importance in your review．
D．A good review consists of a proper introduction and a conclusion，as well as a nice-structured subject body．
73．The following statements are"don'ts"when writing a summary exceptA．
A．going through reference books or articles on your subject，before you start preparing your  article
B．presenting all the detailed description of the book in the summary
C．the thought or action of putting anything irrelevant to the book into the summary
D．a(chǎn)ny forms of copying the text from others'written work．

12．The electric revolution
The main reasons why electric cars are not more popular at present are their price and their relatively small range．
Existing battery systems only allow electric cars （33）to travel （travel） a distance of between 100and 160km．However，this distance may not be a problem for urban drivers．A recent Sydney study reported that 70percent of journeys were 30km or less，and recent data from the US suggests that 77percent of trips （34）taken （take） there are 48km or less．
An innovative company called Better Place is aiming to make electric cars an option for all drivers．It wants to see existing vehicles replaced by electric vehicles which，it says，offer a number of benefits．Firstly，they can be powered by renewable energy which produces zero emissions．（35）What is more important is that electric motors are more efficient and can convert more than 90percent of power into movement．（36）To achieve （achieve） its aim，Better Place plans to use technology already available．
The plan is simple but revolutionary．It starts with the installation of a home charge point，and through this，the vehicle will be plugged into the electricity charge point whenever it is in the garage，typically at night．In the morning，with a fully charged battery，the car is capable of as much as 160km in urban motoring conditions．（37）With the home charge point，the battery can be topped up by charge points at work and at supermarkets．
（38）The battery is linked to a control centre by smart technology inside the vehicle．Better Place can then ensure that the car is charged with electricity from renewable sources at the cheapest price．For （39）longer （long） trips，a navigation system directs the driver to the nearest switch station，（40）where the battery can be replaced with a charged one by a robot within a couple of minutes．
