Thats what you should do.” 37 when she got to the Ohio State University, she started studying to be a vet.A scholarship allowed her to spend her 38 year studying abroad in Manchester, England.

36、South Korea. While there, I was attentive to Korean high schools and students.I was surprised by how different Koreas public high schools are from Americas. Korean high schools can be all-girls, all-boys or co-ed (男女同校的）unlike our standard co-ed high schools. There are three grades: “go 1（10th) ”， “
37、go 2” (1l th) and “go 3” (12th). “Go”is the first syllable of the word “go-deung hakkyo”, which, simply translated, is “high school”.In America, unless you want to go to a private school, you dont have to take an entrance exam. In Korea, however, students must take a test to get in because of the ma
38、ny choices of schools. Another difference I couldnt help but notice was the students appearance. With very few exceptions, all wear uniforms. A name tag (标牌)with the students name, grade and homeroom number must also be worn. Girls skirts cant be above the upper part of the knee, and it is forbidden
39、 to dye (染)your hair or wear accessories (装饰品)except small earrings. There are strict regulations for appearance to achieve neatness, and it seems the only freedom students have is with their choices of hair style, socks and shoes.The final difference was the setup of the classes. There may be 40 st
40、udents in a classroom, but the number can be less or even more, depending on the population of the town or city. Although there are many students per classroom, they are very close, which I think is a result of not changing classrooms for different subjects. There are no levels in the subjects and t
41、he teachers are the ones who switch classrooms. They just have ten-minute breaks between subjects. In each class, students are ranked by their grades. This causes strict competition, and Korean students do a lot of studying. To help them, all schools have extra study classes after school. One other
42、fact that helped me appreciate living in America is that Koreans have school on Saturdays. Although its only a half day, I think I speak for most Americans when I say we could never imagine ourselves in school on a Saturday.Koreas public high schools are clearly different from Americas. I had imagin
43、ed them to be just like our schools, but now I have a clear picture of how different they are.59. How many main differences are mentioned between Koreas public high school and Americas?A. 3. B. 4. C. 5. D. 6.60. It seems that the writer _ .A. is familiar with the education system of high schools in
44、KoreaB. is fond of Korean students appearanceC. prefers the high school life of America to the one of KoreaD. feels it common to have lessons on weekends61. What does the underlined word setup in paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Arrangement. B. Size. C. Number. D. Outline.62. According to the rules, the
45、 students of Korea can _ .A. go to different high schools without exams B. wear any clothes except uniforms at schoolC. attend different classes as they likeD. have different hair stylesCLast week, we explained that the planet Mars has passed “opposition. ”It passed a point opposite the Sun. This we
46、ek, we tell about the planets surprising motion(运动)among the stars. For thousands of years, people have recognized that planets travel among the stars. The planets generally follow the path taken by the Sun through the sky. The Suns path is called the ecliptic. The groups of stars along the ecliptic
47、 are called the Zodiac. The motion of the planets can be confusing at times. Everyone knows the Sun rises in the east and sets in the west. But this is caused by the turning motion of the Earth. Planets generally move from west to east. However, Mars will appear to move backward for about two months
48、 this year. This happens because the Earth is overtaking Mars on its way around the Sun. Mars began its backward, or westward, motion on May 11th, It will start moving eastward again on July 19th. Mars apparent motion has been a mystery to astronomers for hundreds of years. Most early theories of th
49、e solar system argued that the Sun and planets turned around the Earth. But the sudden westward motion of Mars presented a problem. Why would Mars move west for two months when it nears “opposition”?In 1543, a Polish church worker named Nicolas Copernicus published a different theory. His theory sai
50、d the Earth and planets moved around the Sun in perfectly circular orbits. Copernicus theory was simpler. But his Sun centered system still did not explain the observed motion of Mars very well.Finally, a German mathematician named Johannes Kepler published a complete theory of the motion of the pla
51、nets in 1619. He had carefully studied the motion of Mars for many years.Johannes Kepler discovered that the planets do not move in circular orbits around the sun. Instead, they travel in flattened orbits called ellipses. Mars elliptical orbit is the cause of its unusual brightening this year and it
52、s apparent large size.During the next several weeks, you can see for yourself why the mysterious motion of Mars has caused so many people to wonder.63. From the passage we can learn that .A. the sun and planets generally travel westward B. Kepler studied the orbit of the planets in 1619C. Copernicus
53、 theory well explained the motion of MarsD. the Earths turning motion causes the sun to rise in the east64. On July 19th Mars .A. will pass the “opposition”B. appears to change its direction againC. will begin to move westwardD. appears to change its orbit again65. Why does Mars appear to be bigger
54、and brighter when it passes “opposition”?A. It is overtaking the earth.B. It follows the path of the sun.C. It moves in an elliptical orbit.D. It travels in a circular orbit.66. What is the best title for the passage?A. The Recent Research into Mars B. The Surprising Motion of MarsC. The Great Disco
55、very on Mars D. The Wonderful Mystery of MarsDI have been passionate about sewing and fashion design since I was 12. Two years ago, I designed and made a set of outfits from recyclable materials for a charity fashion show. Through this highly meaningful and profound experience, I became aware of the
56、 importance of protecting and preserving our environment when designing and making fashion items, resulting in my founding an organization to promote eco friendly, design and fashion.My interest has led me to research areas of fashion that have environmental implications. For example , some popular
57、clothing stores have announced marketing policies designed to improve the environment. For those of us who are eco - conscious, it is responsible for us to evaluate whether such policies are just a marketing promotion, or represent great efforts to protect our environment.Three chain - stores, H&M,
58、Urban Outfitters and Forever 21 ,have been promoting green items. After I examined their products,! have concluded that H&M and Urban Outfitters are truly helping the environment with their efforts, while Forever 21 seems to be using the go green trend as a way to sell more products, rather than gen
59、uinely help the environment.Of these three stores, H&M has the most extensive eco -fashion plans. It is already well on its way to carrying out its plans by increasingly mixing organic cotton into their garments, as well as putting fully organic cotton items on the market. The store also belongs to
60、the Organic Exchange Organization, which approves of growth of organic cotton. To reduce the harm from non - organic cotton production, H&M is involved with the Better Cotton Project. Mindful of the unfavorable effects of climate change, the store aims to minimize transportation and energy usage. H&
61、M labels their eco -friendly products with an official symbol, the Flower, to represent a production system that is less harmful than most traditional processes. Because of these actions and policies, H&M is already well on its way to making a difference on the environment.With its Urban Renewal bra
62、nd, Urban Outfitter takes a different approach than H&M in promoting eco - friendly fashion. The brand features women s clothes made from strictly environmentally -friendly sources, such as vintage, dead stock, or surplus clothing. Urban Renewal produces fashionable garments, and embraces being eco
63、- friendly through recycling.Unlike the other two stores above, Forever 21 s eco - fashion efforts fall short; some people would say their message is thoroughly misleading. It promotes the green image, and yet many of their supposed eco -friendly products do not help the environment. For example, it
64、 sells a Think Green Tote that, according to the site, is meant to send an environmentally friendly message. However it is made of 100% non - organic cotton which is one of the most damaging fabrics to the environment, mostly because it requires greater chemical intervention compared to organic cott
65、on. Also, the I Love My Planet Tote is supposed to make a positive statement, but is also made of 100% cotton that is not organic. The only tote that is environmentally - friendly is the H81 Organic Cotton Tote from Forever 21 s Heritage brand, made from 100% organic cotton. Now that Forever 21 has
66、portrayed itself as being green, it should start walking the walk. 67. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means _.A. all the customers are trying not to walk into the Forever 21 to buy products B. the Forever 21 has already been on its way to transform its negative image C. the writer pub
67、licly urges the Forever 21 to put its campaign into practice D. the environmental problem is so serious that we should pay more attention68. Which of the following supports the authors opinion?A. The author s environmental awareness comes from his shopping experiences. B. None of the three stores ma
68、kes a difference on the ecological protection. C. Someone uses the go green trend just as a trick to make more profit. D. It is still a very long way before we humans will use real green products.69. The passage is developed by _. A. showing cause and effect B. giving concrete figures C. making comp
69、arison and contrast D. using time order70. Which of the following statements can be the best title? A. Does the Trend of Eco - Friendly Help the Environment? B. Green Products Are Common in Fashion Stores. C. A Survey of Eco - Friendly Design on Fashion Markets. D. Are Chain Stores in Fashion Really
70、 Going Green? 第卷（非选择题 两部分 共35分）第四部分：任务型阅读 (共10题，每格一词，每小题1分, 满分10分)Have you ever intended to be fully absorbed in your work but found yourself distracted (走神) by e-mail, the Internet and other things throughout the day?People often lose their concentration when they are bored, of course, but also whe
71、n they are engaged in challenging tasks, says Peter Bregman. They sometimes have a feeling to escape from whats difficult or boring, so they jump out, he says. The part of the brain devoted to attention is connected to the brains emotional center. Any strong emotionquarrels with colleagues, problems
72、 at homecan interrupt our attention. Studies over the last decade have shown that too much work to do at a time can easily lead to distraction.Refocusing is hard for many people. Robert Epstein suggests the following, Stop and listen to music for a few minutes. Go for a short walk or take a deep bre
73、ath, where you breathe in deeply, count to five slowly, hold it and breathe out very slowly. This can blow out all the tension and the unwanted in your mind to restore your focus.Take more control by structuring your time and becoming more aware of your behaviors. Setting the phone alarm to go off e
74、very hour is my way of creating awareness, Mr. Bregman says, You have to inform yourself that youve lost focus in order to do something about it. Starting the day with a to-do list is important, such as when to eat, when to go to the gym or take a walk. But if its overly ambitious, you will put your
75、self in a state of anxiety, which makes it hard for the brain to concentrate. Choosing three or four things as your priority (优先) for the day allows your brain to settle down and focus, he says.TopicHow to become more (71) _ on the work?(72)_ of gettingdistractedPeople tend to get away from things t

82、ay be acquired through many ways, the best of which is reading. In the age of high technology, reading deserves to be paid attention to.To begin with, it is the most flexible way of getting information. Many people think it not only helps them better understand society as well as nature, but also br
83、oadens their horizon. Additionally, reading, to some degree, is of great benefit to interpersonal communication apart from self-improvement. It can also enrich our life and bring people pleasure. Whats more, reading is also regarded by many as a means of better survival. Books are to mind what food
84、is to body. However, not every book is worthy of being read. Some may mislead readers. So keep in mind that choosing a good book is like making a good friend. Besides, reading is supposed to be done in a proper period of time, for example, in our spare time, thus not disturbing our work or study. As
85、 long as we insist on reading, we can get improved gradually. Personally, I appreciate reading classical literature in my spare time, which provides me with a thorough understanding of life and society. Through practicing reading between the lines and beyond the lines, I find my comprehension abilit
