13、are only permitted to cook in the kitchen. Students must clean up after cooking. This is not the responsibility of housekeeping staff. Kitchens that are not kept clean may be closed for use. With the exception of using a small microwave oven to heat food, students are not permitted to cook in their
14、rooms. Pet PolicyNo pets except fish are permitted in student rooms.

A housekeeper is not responsible for the cleaning work of the kitchen.D. Students have to close kitchen doors after cooking.BNew research has found that even if you give up
19、 smoking, the damage it has done to your genes (基因) will stay there for a much longer time.In the research, a team of US scientists studied the blood of 16,000 people. Among them, some were smokers, some used to smoke, and the rest were nonsmokers.Scientists compared their genes and found that more
20、than 7,000 genes of smokers had changeda number that is one third of known human genes.According to NBC News, both heart disease and cancer are caused by genetic changes. Some people may have had the changes when they were born, but most people get them in their daily lives while doing things like s
21、moking.When you stop smoking, a lot of these genes will return to normal within five years. This means your body is trying to heal(治愈) itself of the harmful effects of smoking. But the changes in some of the genes stay for longer. They can stay for as long as 30 years. Its almost like leaving a foot
22、print on wet cement (水泥)it will always be there, even when youve walked away and when the cement becomes dry.Although the study results may make people unhappy, there is a bright side: the findings could help scientists invent medicine to treat genetic damage caused by smoking or find ways to tell w

25、cures for genetic damage caused by smoking.CCuriosity is what drives us to keep learning, keep trying, keep pushing forward. But how does one generate(产生) curiosity, in oneself or others? George Loewenstein, a professor of psychology at Carnegie Mellon University, offered an answer in the classic 19
26、94 paper, The Psychology of Curiosity.“Curiosity arises”, Loewenstein wrote, “when attention becomes focused on a gap in one s knowledge. Such information gaps produce the feeling of deprivation( 匮乏) labeled curiosity. The curious individual is motivated to obtain the missing information to reduce t
27、he feeling of deprivation. Loewensteins theory helps explain why curiosity is such a force: its not only a mental state but also an emotion, a powerful feeling that drives us forward.Scientist Daniel Willingham notes that teachers are often “so eager to get to the answer that we do not devote enough
28、 time to developing the question”. Yet its the question that stimulates (刺激)curiosity; being told an answer stops curiosity before it can even get going.In his 1994 paper, George Loewenstein noted that curiosity requires some basic knowledge. Were not curious about something we know absolutely nothi
29、ng about. But as soon as we know even a little bit, our curiosity is aroused and we want to learn more. In fact, research shows that curiosity increases with knowledge: the more we know, the more we want to know. To get this process started, Loewenstein suggests, take steps with some interesting but
30、 incomplete information.Language teachers have long used communication in exercises that open an information gap and then require learners to communicate with each other in order to fill it. For example, one student might be given a series of pictures for the beginning of the story, while the studen
31、ts partner is given a series of pictures showing how that same story ends. Only by speaking with each other (in the foreign language they are learning, of course) can the students fill in each others information gaps.28. When one notices a gap in his knowledge, he_.A. desires to fillB. tends to be a
32、fraidC. might get tired and sadD. will become focused on his learning29. What does Daniel Willingham imply in the article?A. Answers are more important than questions.B. Teachers should be eager to get to the answer.C. Teachers know how to stimulate students curiosity.D. Teachers are partly to blame
33、 for students hating school.30. According to George Loewensteins paper, curiosity about something occurs only when you_.A. have read a lot of booksB. know little about somethingC. have some related informationD. are given incomplete information31. What is the article mainly about?A. Why students hat
34、e school?B. Why curiosity is important?C. How to stimulate curiosity?D. What makes people hungry for knowledge?DWho cares if people think wrongly that the Internet has had more important influences than the washing machine? Why does it matter that people are more impressed by the most recent changes
35、?It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of peoples opinions. However, they have real impacts, as they result in misguided use of scarce resources.The fascination with the ICT( Information and Communication Technology) revolution, represented by the Internet, has made some rich
36、countries wrongly conclude that making things is so “yesterday” that they should try to live on ideas. This belief in post-industrial society has led those countries to neglect their manufacturing sector(制造业), with negative consequences for their economies. Even more worryingly, the fascination with
37、 the Internet by people in rich countries has moved the international community to worry about the digital divide between the rich countries and the poor countries. This has led companies and individuals to donate money to developing countries to buy computer equipment and Internet facilities. The q
38、uestion, however, is whether this is what the developing countries need the most. Perhaps, giving money for those less fashionable things such as digging wells, extending electricity networks and making more affordable washing machines would have improved peoples lives more than giving every child a
39、 laptop computer or setting up Internet centres in rural villages. I am not saying that those things are necessarily more important, but many donators have rushed into fancy programmes without carefully assessing the relative long-term costs and benefits of alternative uses of their money. In yet an
40、other example, a fascination with the new has led people to believe that the recent changes in the technologies of communications and transportation are so revolutionary that now we live in a borderless world”. As a result, in the last twenty years or so, many people have come to believe that whatev
41、er change is happening today is the result of great technological progress, going against which will be like trying to turn the clock back. Believing in such a world, many governments have put an end to some of the very necessary regulations on cross-border flows of capital, labour and goods, with p
42、oor results.Understanding technological trends is very important for correctly designing economic policies, both at the national and the international levels, and for making the right career choices at the individual level. However, our fascination with the latest, and our under-valuation of what ha
43、s already become common, can, and has, led us in all sorts of wrong directions.32. Misjudgments on the influences of new technology can lead to_.A. a lack of confidence in technologyB. a slow progress in technologyC. a conflict of public opinionsD. a waste of limited resources 33. The example in Par
44、agraph 4 suggests that donators should_.A. take peoples essential needs into accountB. make their programmes attractive to peopleC. ensure that each child gets financial supportD. provide more affordable Internet facilities34. What has led many governments to remove necessary regulations?A. Neglecti
45、ng the impacts of technological advances.B. Believing that the world has become borderless.C. Ignoring the power of economic development.D. Over-emphasizing the role of international communication.35. What can we learn from the passage?A. People should be encouraged to make more donations.B. Traditi
46、onal technology still has a place nowadays.C. Making right career choices is crucial to personal success.D. Economic policies should follow technological trends.第二节七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Imagine a child standing on diving board four feet high and asking hi
47、mself the question: “Should I jump? This is what motivation or the lack of it can do. Motivation and goal setting are the two sides of the same coin. 36 Like the child on the diving board, you will stay undecided.37 More than that, how should you stay motivated to achieve the goal? First, you need t
48、o evaluate yourself, your values, your strengths, your weaknesses, your achievements, your desires, etc. Only then should you set your goals.You also need to judge the quality and depth of your motivation. This is quite important, because it is directly related to your commitment. There are times wh
49、en your heart is not in your work. 38 So, slow down and think what you really want to do at that moment. Clarity(清晰)of thoughts can help you move forward.Another way of setting realistic goals is to analyze your short and long term objectives, keeping in mind your beliefs, values and strengths. Reme
50、mber that goals are flexible. 39 They also need to be measurable. You must keep these points in mind while setting your goals.Your personal circumstances are equally important. For example, you may want to be a pilot but cant become one because your eyesight is not good enough. 40 You should reasses
51、s your goals, and motivate yourself to set a fresh goal.You will surely need to overcome some difficulties, some planned, but most unplanned. You cannot overcome them without ample motivation. Make sure that you plan for these difficulties at the time of setting your goals.A. This can affect your wo
52、rk.B. So how should you motivate yourself?C. However, this should not discourage you.D. So why should we try to set specific goals?E. They can change according to circumstances.F. Motivation is what you need most to do a good job.G. Without motivation, you can neither set a goal nor reach it.第三部分 语言
