Even though Danish students have equal access to education, their choice of studies is still influenced by social class. Young people from working class backgrounds are   36  by studies with a clear job profile and high income,   37  prestige and studies with a strong identity interest young people of parents with university degrees when choosing which studies to   38  . This is what researchers from the University of Copenhagen   39  in a new study. Students who have chosen to study medicine, architecture, economy and sociology often come from homes where the parents have    40   higher education, whereas business studies and pharmacy often   41  young people with a working class background. This is   42  by a research team from the University of Copenhagen and Aalborg University in a new study.

“There is a   43  between the studies chosen by young Danes and their   44  background. Even for the young people who have very good grades in their A-level exams, and who could successfully   45  admission to a large variety of studies, the parents’   46  of education and social class play an important role in their choice,” says Education Sociologist Jens Peter Thomsen, who is one of the researchers behind the study.

The study “The Educational Strategies of Danish University Students from Professional and Working-Class Backgrounds” is   47  60 interviews with Danish students from six different university level study programmes: Medicine, architecture, sociology, economy, pharmacy and business studies.

The young people bring with them the   48  they get from their families. If you grow up in a home with parents who are doctors or architects with a strong professional   49  , it is an obvious choice to follow the   50  path as your parents when you grow up.

“For young people whose parents are university educated,   51  such as fame and mastery of expert knowledge are important. They are   52  by an educational culture in which you are a diligent student, and where leisure activities are   53  to the identity that lies within your studies. These young people have also grown up with   54  discussions around the dinner table which also prepare them for their lives as students,” says Jens Peter Thomsen.

He also added, “Young people who come from a working class background, and have good grades have to   55  the full range of opportunities they have. But the effort to reach this goal must start early”.

请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

Teachers say the digital age has had a good influence - and a not-so-good influence - on this generation of American teenagers. More than 2,000 teachers took an online survey. Three-quarters of the teachers said the Internet and digital search tools have had a " mostly positive" effect on their students' research habits and skills. But 64 percent said the technologies " do more to distract（使……分心） students than to help them academically. " And 87 percent agreed that these technologies are creating an " easily distracted generation with short attention spans. "

The Pew Internet Project did the survey with the National Writing Project. Judy Buchanan is the vice director of the National Writing Project and a co-author of the report. Ms. Buchanan says digital research tools are helping students learn more and faster. " Teachers really favor these tools because they are ways to make some of the learning exciting and engaging. Young people favor these tools. The goal is to really help them become creators of meaningful content, and not just sort of consumers. "

But one problem the survey found is that many students lack digital literacy. They trust too much of the information they find on the Internet. Judy says these students haven' t developed the skills to determine the quality of online information. " It' s something that really has to be taught and paid attention to. Because in a world in which things happen quickly, you do need to step back, reflect and analyze the information you have. "

Another problem is blamed on something that might not seem like a problem at all: being able to quickly find information online. Teachers say the result is a reduction in the desire and ability of their students to work hard to find answers. They say students are overly dependent on search engines and do not make enough use of printed books or research libraries.

Many teachers are also concerned that the Internet makes it easy for students to copy work done by others instead of using their own abilities.

C. the Internet can' t make students concentrate

Helen Thomas, the pioneering White House reporter known for putting presidents on the hot seat, died at 92.

To those who regularly watch presidential press conferences, Helen Thomas is a familiar figure. Usually dressed in red and always seated in the front row, she is always the first or second reporter the president calls upon. It is an honor she has earned. Besides, it affords her the perfect opportunity to do what she does best - challenge the president and other public officials to tell the plain truth. She said, " We reporters' priority（首要事情） is the people' s right to know - without fear or favor. We are the people' s servants. "

Helen Thomas was born in Kentucky in 1920. All the nine Thomas children were brought up to value education, and all were expected to make something of themselves through working hard. She made up her mind while still in high school to become a reporter after writing for the student newspaper. After receiving her bachelor' s degree in 1942, Thomas headed straight for Washington, D. C. in search of a newspaper job. Before long, she landed one at Washington Daily News. Her duty included fetching coffee and doughnuts for the paper' s reporters and editors. The eager young woman found the atmosphere exciting and was convinced she had made the right career choice.

Her big break came when she was sent to Florida to report on the vacation of President-elect John F. Kennedy and his family. Once President Kennedy took office, Thomas changed her focus from the president' s family to his policies. She began attending the daily press briefings at the White House as well as presidential press conferences. Thomas has covered every president since Kennedy. Over the years, Thomas found her job " thrilling and inspiring," but never boring. And she took very seriously her duty to " keep an eye on the president" and keep American people informed.

If you see a group of people dancing and singing on the street or in the railway station,  you don' t need to feel surprised. They are a flash mob（快闪族）, which is a group of people who come together suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time,  and then quickly break up. They are usually organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communication network. At a predetermined time, they gather and perform some distractions（消遣）such as waving their hands and exchanging books. Then, they quickly break up before the police can arrive. Using mobile phones, the flash mob can change its location if the first one has been replaced for any reason.

Bill Lasik, senior editor of Harper’s Magazine,organized the first flash mob in Manhattan in May 2003 and the first successful flash mob came together on June 3,2003 — after the first attempt was foiled at Macy' s department store. Lasik claimed that the activity was designed to make fun of hipsters（赶时髦的人）, and call attention to the cultural atmosphere.

Flash mob gatherings can sometimes shock people. Such an activity might seem amusing and untrue, but it also might frighten people who are not aware of what is taking place. Undoubtedly, flash mobs can serve as good political tools in any direction. They also have great economic potential, such as using flash mobs to advertise a product.

The flash mob is now becoming more and more popular. People use it to do many things. For example, in 2019, Michael Jackson' s fans took part in a flash mob to remember him. Hundreds of his fans gathered singing and dancing Michael' s famous song " Beat It" together. Flash mobs give people from all walks of life an opportunity to come together to create a memory.

A. forgotten         

B. prevented      

C. announced　　       

D. confirmed

B. Once the place for the activity is determined, it can' t be changed.

C. The flash mob can be made use of in many fields just for fun.

D. It gives people the chance to come together to do something unusual.

66. The main purpose of the passage is___________.

A. to entertain　　          

B. to encourage　　    

C. to inform　　         

D. to persuade

67. The writer' s attitude towards the flash mob is_____________.

A. negative  

B. objective

注意：每个空格只填一个单词。

Talk about happiness

We should not hesitate too much during the first half of our lives, while we should not regret at what we’ve done during the other half. We should seize every opportunity to find a way out in our lives, for it goes off swiftly. We should say something urgent slowly, something serious clearly, something small humorously and something unsure cautiously. We should never say something that did not happen, something that you cannot do, something that does harm to others, and something that is disgusting. We should tell others our happiness on specific occasions and should not tell anyone our unhappiness. Do not easily say something about others. We should follow our own heart and interest, and fulfill what we should do instead of merely paying lip service and looking forward to the future.

Everyone is longing for a happy life, but owning wealth does not necessarily mean owning happiness. To truly reach happiness, we need to know how to get on with others. So we need to understand what happiness is really about and achieve what we desire.

We need to know and understand happiness before we finally get it. A smart man must know to do something good even though it may be small, and not to do something evil even though it may be tiny in the course of socializing. As long as we keep a kind heart and do everything morally and legally, we can live a peaceful life. But if we keep an evil heart and do whatever we want, we are indeed digging a tomb for ourselves. A smart man knows to learn a lesson from his falls, for he knows that every setback is a precious experience leading to happiness in the future. He will not waste his time in criticizing others. Instead, he tends to spend more time seeking his own happiness. He knows to keep a heart of conscience and not to spread others’ mistakes. He also knows to think before he leaps so that he will not feel regretful afterwards. Moreover, he knows to tolerate others, so he can naturally lead a happy life.

Without happiness, one will feel terribly miserable, for he always insists that he has done the right thing all the time and that others often do wrong to him. He blames every mistake on others or the environment instead of reflecting on himself, which keeps him farther and farther away from happiness. A celebrity once said, “Nobody intends to make mistakes. One makes mistakes because of his ignorance.” Therefore, if someone makes mistakes, we need to care about him, forgive him and enlighten him by setting a good example to him instead of losing temper and hating him. Otherwise, we are also ignorant like him, for we also make a stupid mistake that leads us farther from happiness.

In order to possess a happy life, we need to know more about others, about the society, about our culture and history. We should be patriotic(爱国的), obey the law and realize our own responsibility, and then we will definitely have a happy life.

第五部分：书面表达（满分25分）

As we can see in the picture, a boy sits in a cage like a bird, looking unhappily at his father, who sits opposite to him, looking puzzled on his face. There is a piece of paper which says “summer vacation”. The boy plans to go fishing, play football, climb mountains, go out for a ride and play chess. But the father keeps him in a cage for “safety” for fear of a car accident, drowning, falling off a tree, fighting or being deceived.

It reflects the way in which the parents protect their children from dangers while the children are growing up. Is it a good way to do that? I don’t agree. It seems to be safe staying in the cage. But the little boy will never know what a danger is and how to deal with it. So he may not adapt to the surroundings on his own in the future.

In my opinion, the parents should let their children out into nature to enlarge their knowledge and widen their sights during their holidays.
