二、阅读理解
What yu need:
●Sugar
●Cld water in a clear glass
●Ht water in a clear glass
●Spn fr stirring (搅拌)
What yu d:
●Make sure the glasses have the same amunt f water.
●Put an amunt f sugar int the cld water and stir it with the spn until the sugar disappears. Repeat this prcess (remembering t cunt the
amunt f sugar yu put int the water) until the sugar stps disslving (溶解). At this pint, the sugar starts t gather n the bttm f the glass rather
than disslving.
●Write dwn hw much sugar yu culd disslve in the cld water.
●Repeat the same prcess in the ht water, and then cmpare the number f sugar disslved in each glass. Which disslved mre? What’s
happening?
What’s happening?
The cld water isn’t able t disslve as much sugar as the ht water. Sugar disslves in the ht water three times as fast as in the cld water. But
why? Anther name fr the liquids inside the glasses is a “slutin”. When this slutin can n lnger disslve sugar, it becmes a “saturated (饱和的)
slutin”. This means that sugar starts frming n the bttm f the glass.
The reasn why the ht water disslves mre is that it has faster mving mlecules (分子) which are spread further apart than the mlecules in the
cld water. With bigger gaps between the mlecules in the ht water, mre sugar mlecules can fit in between them.
【小题1】What isn’t needed in the experiment?
A．Sugar.
B．Water.
C．Spn.
D．Bwl.
【小题2】In which rder des the experiment develp?

Several years ag, a wrldwide heavy rain was predicted, but n ne gt prepared fr what was t cme. Then, sme areas received ver 100 cm f
rain. Cars and trucks flated dwn the streets. Whle buildings were swept away. At least 225 peple lst their lives, and millins became hmeless.
The weather is always changing. Over the past few years, heavy rains have led t flds in many parts f the wrld. Drughts have taken place in
Brazil and Australia. There have been heat waves in Eurpe which killed thusands. There have been mre pwerful hurricanes and trnades than ever
befre. In 2017 alne, the financial cst frm glbal weather events was up t 340 billin dllars.
With mre wild weather events happening, peple culdn’t help asking questins: What is happening with the weather? And why? Is this natural,
r ur fault? The answer seems t be: a little f bth. Wild weather is natural. But mst scientists hld the same view that human activity has made the
Earth warmer. It is this glbal warming that makes heat waves mre likely. The higher temperatures als result in mre water t g int the air, which
causes heavier and mre frequent rain. Many scientists als believe glbal warming makes hurricanes and ther strms strnger.
This means we’re likely t see mre wild weather. “But we dn’t have t just stand there and accept it,” says scientist Michael. He and ther
experts say we need t stp the Earth frm getting warmer. We als need t be prepared, t d things that will help save lives.
【小题1】What’s the main idea f the first paragraph?
A．A past weather event happened in sme areas in the wrld.
B．Sme facts are listed abut the glbal warming.
C．A number f recent weather events happened ver the wrld.

A．By giving a lt f examples f recent wild weather events.
B．By describing a serius fld that nce happened.
C．By predicting hw the weather will change in a few years.
D．By cmparing the frmer wild weather with what happened nw
【小题3】What des scientist Michael’s wrds mean?
A．Peple can nt d anything t prevent wild weather.
B．If peple stp glbal warming, the weather will be better.
C．It is t late t stp glbal warming.
D．Peple have t stand by and accept what will happen t us.
【小题4】Where can yu prbably find the text?
A．In a turist brchure
C．In a science fictin
B．In a research paper
D．In a nature magazine
Recent years have seen a small increase in unemplyment rates due t slwing f the ecnmy. The fact that many cllege graduates are finding it
difficult t land a jb has sparked nline discussins n the cst f educatin and the returns n it, with many agreeing with the ntin that “educatin
is useless”.
Stries like a persn with a dctrate’s degree frm Zhejiang University is delivering fd, and verseas-returned graduates are selling ht-pt
ingredients have caused many t questin the value f educatin. Mrever, the fact that abut 36,000 fewer candidates have applied t take the
pstgraduate exam in 2024, the first decline in numbers in years, has als fueled the “educatin is useless thery.
Is educatin truly wrthless? This questin has resurfaced due t several factrs.

The wide spread f higher educatin has significantly increased the number f cllege graduates, reducing the value f cllege degrees. As the jb
market becmes ver-crwded with graduates, the scarcity f high-level talents has becme apparent, particularly in fields such as the humanities. Fr
example, mre than 900 institutins in China ffer English majr, making it the mst cmmn degree prgram, yet there’s a shrtage f tp talents
wh are prficient in English and have a gd knwledge abut the differences in Chinese and freign apprach t fields such as internatinal relatins
and jurnalism.
The declining returns n the investment in educatin have given rise t the “educatin is useless” thery. Given the challenging jb market, many
believe cllege educatin des nt guarantee any srt f emplyment, let alne a suitable jb. And with varius ecnmic pprtunities available, the
ntin that ne can becme financially successful even withut frmal educatin is becming increasingly acceptable.
In light f these develpments, cmbined effrts need t be made t change the situatin. Fr instance, universities must take measures t integrate
educatin, research and industry, while enhancing cperatin with enterprises thrugh tailred talent training prgrams. Additinally, the authrities
need t pay greater attentin t vcatinal educatin, an imprtant part f China’s educatinal system. Students, parents and sciety, n their part,
shuld abandn their bias against vcatinal training, because it integrates educatin with career prspects thrughut the learning prcess, ffering
targeted, technical and practical training which allws students t master their skills which can get them well-paying jbs in the future.
Develping a crrect view f emplyment and career chice is key t abandning the ntin f “educatin being useless”. Peple, especially
students, must understand the current emplyment landscape, their psitining, and strengths and weaknesses. While realizing that a cllege degree is
n lnger a ticket t emplyment, cllege students shuld leverage educatin resurces t enrich their prfessinal knwledge and cmpetitiveness.
And yuths shuld apprach vcatinal educatin with an pen mind in rder t make the mst f what the jb market has t ffer.
Educatin is nt synnymus with earning mney, nr des a cllege degree guarantee financial success. The value f educatin is knwledge,
which we need t make infrmed decisins nt nly in ur prfessinal life but als in ur scial and ther fields f life.
【小题1】What are the main reasns fr the recent rise in the belief that ”educatin is useless”?
A．Ecnmic slwdwn and jb scarcity.
B．Sad stries abut educated individuals.
C．Decline in pstgraduate exam applicants.
D．Emphasis n practical skills ver qualificatins.
【小题2】Hw can universities cntribute t imprving the current situatin?
A．By fcusing slely n academic research.
B．By integrating educatin, research, and industry.
C．By ignring cperatin with enterprises.
D．By eliminating vcatinal educatin curses.
【小题3】The underlined wrd leverage in paragraph 7 can be best replaced by___________.
A．limit
B．abandn
C．balance
D．maximize
【小题4】What is the authr’s attitude twards the develpment f vcatinal educatin?
A．Negative and pessimistic
C．Balanced and bjective
B．Psitive and supprtive
D．Unclear and ambiguus
Des frgiveness g against ur human nature? T address this, we need t ask a further questin: What makes us human? Simply put, peple hld
tw cntrasting views n humanity. The first centers n cntrl and pwer. In an early paper n frgiveness, Drll (1984) wrte that human nature leans
mre twards aggressin (攻击性) than frgiving allws. Thse wh frgive are against what they’re built fr, much t their harm. He believes that
frgivers are risking their wn well-being as they shw frgiveness t thers, wh might then take advantage f them.
Fr the secnd view, we see respect and lve, in the sense f serving thers, in the wrk f Lewis, Amini, and Lannn (2001). They present the
scientific argument that we need bth t receive lve frm and ffer lve t thers. Frm this secnd viewpint, frgiveness plays a key rle in the
verall health f bth individuals and cmmunities, bth physically and mentally, because ne f the utcmes f frgiveness, shwn thrugh scientific
studies, is the reductin f hatred and the reestablishment f harmny.
Given that cntrl and disrespect can affect a persn’s psychlgical (心理的) and relatinal well-being, the first apprach des nt seem wrkable
as a way t live. Given that frgiveness has been shwn in numerus studies t increase well-being, it fllws that the secnd apprach seems mre
effective, bth frm the reasning f philsphy and the supprted theries frm scial science. Even cmmn sense strngly suggests that the will t
pwer ver thers des nt make fr harmnius interactins. Cnsider, hw well has slavery (奴隶制) wrked as a way f scial harmny?

As an imprtant warning, when we take a Classical Realist philsphical viewpint, that f Aristtle, we see the difference between pssibility and
actuality. We are nt necessarily brn with the ability t frgive, but we have the chance t learn and get better at it. The actuality f frgiving, its actual
applicatin in cnflict (冲突) situatins, grws with certain training.
【小题1】What is Drll’s idea abut frgiveness?
A．It is a sign f weakness.
B．It is a part f human nature.
C．It is a threat t ne’s well-being.
D．It is a natural respnse t aggressin.
【小题2】Why des the authr mentin “slavery” in paragraph 3?
A．T blame the unfairness f the system.
B．T illustrate the harm frm ver cntrl.
C．T stress the imprtance f management.
D．T prmte the idea f harmnius interactins.
【小题3】What is the authr’s attitude tward frgiveness?
A．Supprtive.
B．Dubtful.
C．Objective.
D．Uncertain.
【小题4】Hw is frgiveness develped accrding t Aristtle?
A．Brn nature.
B．Scial upbringing.
D．Outside pressure.
C．Learned practice.
