25、ne course faces a tricky question: Which course to take? Here are five aspects that you should consider before you start.(1)What is your learning style?Many MOOCs are video-based. Other courses use presentation formats. Some also require participation in group work. If you want to stay motivated dur
26、ing your course, think about how you enjoy learning.Are you a visual learner, preferring to use images to understand a topic? If so, a video-based course will work well for you.

27、aking. Social learners, meanwhile, will thrive in forum discussions and project-based assessment.(2)Are you ready to become a full-time student?Be realistic about the time that you can commit to your online studies.

Its easy to get caught up in
29、 the excitement of taking lots of free courses in everything that you ever wanted to learn. Before you start a course, think about the end goal.

33、s for you.B. Deciding your learning style.C. Taking the right course you need.D. Choosing a suitable support group.（B）I once had my Chinese MBA students brainstorming on “two-hour business plans.” I separated them into six groups and gave them an example: a restaurant chain. The more original their
34、ideas, the better, I said. Finally, five of the six groups presented plans for restaurant chains. The sixth proposed a catering (餐饮) service. Though I admitted the time limit had been difficult, I expressed my disappointment.My students were middle managers, financial analysts and financiers from st
35、ate-owned enterprises and global companies. They were without talent or opinions, but they had been shaped by an educational system that rarely stressed or rewarded critical thinking or inventiveness. The scene I just described came in different forms during my two years teaching at the school. Pape
36、rs were often copied from the Web and the Harvard Business Review. Case study debates were written up and just memorized. Students frequently said that copying is a superior business strategy, better than inventing and creating.In China, every product you can imagine has been made and sold. But so f
37、ew well-developed marketing and management minds have been raised that it will be a long time before most people in the world can name a Chinese brand.With this problem in mind, partnerships with institutions like Yale and MIT have been established. And then theres the “thousand talent scheme.” this
38、 new government program is intended to improve technological modernization by attracting top foreign-trained scientists to the mainland with big money. But there are worries about Chinas research environment. Its hardly known for producing independent thinking and openness, and even big salary offer
39、s may not be attractive enough to overcome this.At last, for China, becoming a major world creator is not just about setting up partnership with top western universities. Nor is it about gathering a group of well-educated people and telling them to think creatively. Its about establishing a rich lea
40、rning environment for young minds. Its not that simple.59. Why does the writer feel disappointed at his students?A. Because there is one group presenting a catering service.B. Because the six groups did not cooperate well in the brainstorm.C. Because all the students copied a case for the difficult
41、topic.D. Because the students ideas were lacking in creativeness.60. Which of the following scenes is NOT considered as lack of creation?A. Papers were often downloaded from the Internet.B. Students often said that copying is a preferable business strategy.C. Students combine knowledge and critical
42、thoughts to solve a problem.D. Case study debates were written up as well as recited.61. We can infer form the passage that .A. China can make and sell any product all over the world from its own creation.B. high pay may not solve the problem of Chinas research environment.C. cooperation with instit
43、utions has been set up to make a Chinese brand.D. the new government program is aimed at encouraging imagination.62. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Look for a new way of learningB. Reward creative thinkingC. How to become a creatorD. Establish a technical environment(C)Sunny countries ar
44、e often poor. A shame, then, that solar power is still quite expensive. Eight19, a British company by Cambridge University, has, however, invented a novel way to get round this. In return for a deposit of around $10 it is supplying poor Kenyan families with a solar cell able to generate 2.5 watts of
45、 electricity, a battery that can deliver a three amp(安培) current to store this electricity, and a lamp whose bulb is a light-emitting diode (二极管).The firm thinks that this system, once the battery is fully charged, is enough to light two small rooms and to power a mobile-phone charger for seven hour
46、s. Then, next day, it can be put outside and charged back up again.The trick is that, to be able to use the electricity, the systems keeper must buy a scratch card -for as little as a dollar - on which is printed a reference number. The keeper sends this reference, plus the serial number of the hous
47、ehold solar unit, by SMS to Eight 19. The companys server will respond automatically with an access code to the unit.Users may consider that they are paying an hourly rate for their electricity. In fact, they are paying off the cost of the unit. After buying around $80 worth of scratch cards - which
48、 Eight 19expects would take the average family around 18 months - the user will own it. He will then have the option of continuing to use it for nothing, or of trading it in for a bigger one, perhaps driven by a 10-watt solar cell.In that case, he would go then through the same process again, paying
49、 off the additional cost of the upgraded kit at a slightly higher rate. Users would therefore increase their electricity supply steadily and affordably.According to Eight 19s figures, this looks like a good deal for customers. The firm believes the average energy-starved Kenyan spends around $10 a m
50、onth on oil - enough to fuel a couple of smoky lamps - plus $2 on charging his mobile phone in the market-place. Regular users of one of Eight 19s basic solar units will spend around half that, before owning it completely. Meanwhile, as the cost of solar technology falls, it should get even cheaper.
51、63. The underlined word “get round” in the first paragraph can be replaced by .A. make use ofB. come up withC. look intoD. deal with64. What should the user do when the electricity in the battery is used up?A. Buy a scratch cardB. Recharge it outsideC. Buy another solar cell.D. Return it to the comp
52、any.65. How much would users pay for the cell and scratch cards before they own a 2.5-watt solar cell?A. Around $10B. Around $80C. Around $90D. Around $18066. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that .A. Kenyan families would find it difficult to afford the solar cell.B. using the solar cell
53、would hep Kenyan families save moneyC. few Kenyan families use mobile phones for lack of electricityD. the company will make a great profit from selling solar cellsSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used o
54、nly once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. Young graduates often find themselves competing with more-experienced workers.B. More and more college graduates are forced to take jobs below their skill level.C. They started applying for any positions they could find in other count
55、ries.D. In some parts of the world, such jobs are all that is available to college graduates.E. Yet youth unemployment also has common roots throughout the world.F. Those young workers who do find employment are often trapped in awful contracts.The factors that cause youth unemployment often differ
56、among regions and labor systems. In much of Western Europe overemphasized labor protection makes it more difficult for youths to land good jobs. Since firing full-time workers is so complicated and expensive, employers are unwilling to take on new staff, while people who are already employed, mainly
57、 older workers, often keep their jobs jobs for life. In developing countries with high birthrates and very young populations, like the Philippines, growth isnt strong enough to absorb the wave of youngsters entering the workforce each year. 67. Young people entering the workforce are often the most
58、vulnerable in economic downturns - new employees are often the first to get sacked(被解雇) , while college graduates find few employers willing to hire.68. In Spain, Italy and Japan, for instance, companies looking to gain flexibility in regulated labor markets often offer new, young staffers only shor
59、t-term contracts. These contracts, which sometimes last for only a few days, usually come with low salaried and few benefits. Since such staff is temporary, employers have little intention to invest in training.Facing such obstacles, young people everywhere are finding that traditional route to succ
60、ess -education - isnt paying off as much as in the past. 69. They will often be offered low-skilled jobs from waiters to supermarket clerks. A March report from the UKs Office for National Statistics showed that the share of recent college graduates in Britain working in lower-skilled jobs rose to n
61、early 36%in 2011 from less then 27% a decade earlier. 70. Typical is Cairos Ahmed Said. He graduated from college with a business degree, and after performing the obligatory year of military service, he applied for jobs in accounting and data entry. But Said, 24, had no luck, and today he works as a
62、 waiter at a cafe near Tahrir Square. “This was my last choice” he says, “and this is the job that I get.”第卷Guided WritingDirections: Write an English composition in 120-150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese.高三毕业后的这个暑假，你打算好好利用,却又不知道该做些什么，你的朋友李华给了你一些建议：学习一门实用的技术，如开车；去一个向往已久的地方，来一场毕业旅行；去贫困山区希望小学，做志愿者；找一份暑期兼职。请你写一封信给她，告诉她你的想法.你的文章必须包括：1.你的最终选择，2.你的理由21-30: in; closer; that; how; because; to shot; bathing; built; each; drains31-40: I H A C J D G F B E41-55: BDAABCDBADCCBDB56-59: BDAD60-62: CBA63-66:DBCB67-70: EFBD
