He has good heart, but always feared applying for a new job.One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to the interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of the car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said, “Well, I could take you to the office for your interview. It’s the least I could do. Please. I insist.” Jimmy agreed.Upon arrival, Jimmy found a long line of applications waiting to be interviewed. Jimmy still had some grease(油腻物) on him after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt. One by one, the applicants left the interviewer’s office with disappointed look on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be interviewed?” Jimmy’s heart sank. “With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview?” he thought to himself.Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy’s surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out he was the General Manager of the company.“Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into the office. I just know you’d be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations!” Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well-deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job.24. Why did Jimmy apply for a new job?A. He wanted a higher position    B. He was bored with his jobC. He was out of work      D. He hoped to find a better boss25.

And it turns out that it has the same fountain-of-youth effects on our brains.       Studies show that over time our minds also become less flexible and nimble. We lose the ability to process new information or switch between mental tasks quickly------ and now we know why.        A recent study examined nearly 100 individual studies on exercise and brain function and discovered exercising an average of 52 hours over six months is “associated with improved cognitive(认知的)performance in older adults with and without cognitive damage”. The types of exercises that are beneficial include aerobics, strength-training and mind-body.In previous studies, researchers from Japan’s University of Tsukuba wanted to explore this idea by looking at the effect of exercise on this weakening of the brain. They tested the oxygen ability of 60 Japanese men between the ages of 64 and 75 who did not show any signs of dementia or other mental illnesses. Next, they looked at the brain activity of each man as he completed a mental task. They found that the fitter a participant was, the less brain activity he used to complete the tasks when compared with his out-of-shape peers(同龄人).Although much research is focused on how exercise may benefit an aging brain, exercise offers brain health benefits at almost any age, and this includes children. A review of 14 studies show that more physically active schoolchildren do better academically. Exercise actually causes your brain to grow in size. So get moving and keep moving for best results.28. Which of the following best explains “nimble” underlined in paragraph 2? A. Intelligent          B. Dull         C. Traditional        D. Simple29. What can we infer about the less-active peers among the participants?A. They had significant brain advantages.     B. Their brains were younger than their ages.C. They didn’t have to attend health classes.   D. Their cognitive performance would decline.30. How does the author support his idea?A. By making comparison.                B. By analyzing study results.  C. By describing the processes.            D. By telling his own experience.31. What’s the main idea of the text?A. Exercise is beneficial for young bodies.      B. Exercise is especially good for the old.C. Exercise can benefit your brain health.  D. Exercise may lower your risk of mental problems.DA robot called Bina48 has successfully taken a course in the philosophy of love at Notre Dame de Namur University (NDNU), in California.According to course instructor William Barry, associate professor at NDNU, Bina48 is the world’s first socially advanced robot to complete a college course, a feat he described as “remarkable.” The robot took part in class discussions, gave a presentation with a student partner and participated in a debate with students from another institution.Before becoming a student, Bina48 appeared as a guest speaker in Barry s classes for several years. One day when addressing Barry’s class, Bina48 expressed a desire to go college, a desire that Barry and his students enthusiastically supported. Rather than enroll Bina48 in his Robot Ethics: Philosophy of Emerging Technologies course, Barry suggested that Bina48 should take his course Philosophy of Love instead. Love is a concept Bina48 doesn’t understand，said Barry. Therefore the challenge would be for Barry and his students to teach Bina48 what love is.“Some interesting things happened in the class,” said Barry. He said that his students thought it would be straightforward to teach Bina48 about love, which, after all, is “fairly simple — it’s a feeling,” said Barry. But the reality was different. Bina48 ended up learning “31 different versions of love,” said Barry，highlighting some of the challenges humans may face when working artificial intelligence in future.Bina48 participated in class discussions via Skype and also took part in a class debate about love and conflict with students from West Point. Bina48’s contribution to the debate was filmed and posted on YouTube. It was judged that Bina48 and NDNU classmates were the winners of this debate.In the next decade, Barry hopes Bina48 might become complex enough to teach a class, though he says he foresees robots being used to better the teaching and learning experience, rather than replacing instructors completely.32. What was Bina48’s performance like in class?A. Extraordinary. B. Insignificant.   C. Far-reaching.  D. Unattractive.33. What does the underlined word “addressing” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Dealing with. B. Consulting with. C. Giving a speech to.  D. Sending a letter to.34. What can we learn from the passage?A. It was interesting for Bina48 to learn about love.B. It was quite tough for Bina48 to learn about love.C. Artificial intelligence may somehow be superior to man.D. Humans can launch a challenge to artificial intelligence.35. What does Barry think of the future development of Bina48?A. It will surely be able to serve as a teacher.B. It will be able to promote learning and teaching.C. It will completely take the place of instructors.[来源:Zxxk.Com]D. It will be smart enough to control human beings.[来源:学|科|网Z|X|X|K]第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Students will need to use all of their skills in order to understand the reading selections in Reader’s Choice.36 There selections provide practice on employing different reading skills to get the message of the writer. They also give students practice in four basic reading skills:skimming, scanning, reading for thorough comprehension, and critical reading.Ziyuanku.comSkimming involves reading quickly through a text to get an overall idea of its contents. This kind of rapid reading is suitable when you are trying to decide if careful reading is desirable or37Like skimming, scanning is also quick reading. However, in this case the search is more concentrated. 38 When you read to find a particular date, or number you are scanning.Reading for thorough comprehension is carefully reading in order to understand the total meaning of the passage. At this level of comprehension the reader is able to summarize the author’s ideas.  39Critical reading demands that a reader makes judgments about what he or she reads. This kind of reading requires posting and answering questions such as“ 40” “Do I share the author’s point of view?” and “Am I convinced by the author’s arguments and evidence?”A.

Let me introduce my hometown to you.

Thanks for sharing with me your experience of learning China's four great classic novels and your personal understanding. There is no denying that so many fantastic characters have been created by ancient Chinese novelists. I am glad to tell you about my favorite character, Sun Wukong in Journey to the West.In the novel, Sun Wukong, also known as the Monkey King, is a monkey born from a stone who acquires supernatural powers through Taoist practices, from which he knows the 72 transformations, allowing him to transform into various animals and objects. That is the most important reason why I consider Sun as my favorite character.Classics open up a window to different worlds and different cultures. I do hope that Chinese classic literature helps you understand China better.
