They are pa

11、parazziphotographers who make a living by taking pictures of the rich and famous.This September, California, a state with plenty of celebrities, passed a law aimed at taking action against paparazzi. The law forbids photographers from entering private property to take pictures, from using high-tech

12、devices to take pictures of people on private property, and from “persistently following in order to take a picture.” Violators can be fined or spend time in prison. The United State Congress is considering passing a similar law.Supporters of the California law say it will protect the privacy of cel

13、ebrities, whom paparazzi have been bothering for years. Opponents (反对者) say the law restricts photojournalists from doing their job.Most celebrities seem to like having their pictures taken when they are in public at award shows or other events. After all, its free publicity. But when theyre not in

14、public, they say, photographers should leave them alone. Yet paparazzi have been known to secretly look in windows and worse. Actor Michael J. Fox said that paparazzi have even “tried to pretend to be medical personnel at the hospital where my wife was giving birth to our son.”Celebrities have as mu

15、ch right to their privacy as anyone else, supporters of the law state. Supporters further argue that the California law is a fair way to keep the press at bay, because the law still allows photographers to do their job. It only punishes them, supporters say, when they violate celebrities privacy.Opp

16、onents of the law say it violates the First Amendment to the United States Constitution (美国宪法第一修正案), which guarantees that no laws will be made to limit “the freedom of speech, or of the press.”Although some people might not consider paparazzi a part of the legal press, the California law does not s

17、ingle out paparazzi. It applies to photographers working for any publication.Opponents of the law are also concerned about its wording. “Does persistently mean following someone for six minutes, six seconds, or six days?” asked lawyer Douglas Mirell. The wording of the law is too vague, critics comp

18、lain, and could be used to punish almost any news photographer.The United States needs a free press to keep the public informed about important news, paparazzi law opponents say. Limiting the press in any way, they argue, limits the freedom of all.1、Which of the following will be considered illegal

19、by the new California law?APaparazzi slipping into the house of a famous person to take a shot.BPaparazzi taking photos of famous people with high-tech cameras.CPaparazzi hiring helicopters as a fast means of transportation.DPaparazzi rushing towards filming sites on motorcycles.2、Supporters of the

22、 bins that have become companions to Americas trash cans. Recycling has become common, as people recognize the need to care for the environment. Yet most peoples recycling consciousness extends only as far as paper, bottles, and cans. People seldom find themselves facing the growing problem of e-was

23、te.E-waste rapidly increases as the techno- fashionable frequently upgrade to the most advanced devices, and the majority of them end up in landfills (垃圾填埋地). Some people who track such waste say that users throw away nearly 2 million tons of TVs, VCRs, computers, cell phones, and other electronics

24、every year. Unless we can find a safe replacement, this e-waste may get into the ground and poison the water with dangerous toxins (毒素), such as lead, mercury, and arsenic. Burning the waste also dangerously contaminates the air.However, e-waste often contains reusable silver, gold, and other electr

25、ical materials. Recycling these materials reduces environmental problems by reducing both landfill waste and the need to look for such metals, which can destroy ecosystems.A growing number of states have adopted laws to ban dumping e-waste. Still, less than a quarter of this waste will reach lawful

26、recycling programs. Some companies advertising safe disposal in fact merely ship the waste to some developing countries, where it still ends up in landfills. These organizations prevent progress by unsafely disposing of waste in an out- of- sight, out- of- mind location.However, the small but growin

27、g number of cities and corporations that do handle e- waste responsibly represents progress toward making the world a cleaner, better place for us all.1、What can we infer from the first paragraph?AMany Americans now have access to recycling bins.BE-waste cannot be put into trash cans in the U.S.CMos

28、t Americans have realized the dangers of e-waste.DMost of Americas trash cans are made of recycled material.2、What can best replace the underlined word “contaminates” in Paragraph 2?Apollutes. Bheats.Cabsorbs. Dreduces.3、How does the author feel about burying e-waste in landfills?AIts important. BIt

29、s unsafe.CIts acceptable. DIts uncommon.4、Whats the authors purpose in writing this text?ATo tell us how to recycle e-waste.BTo talk about the future of e-waste.CTo discuss if its necessary to recycle e-waste.DTo encourage us to deal with e-waste properly.23（8分）Predictions about higher educations fu

30、ture often result in two very different visions about what is next for colleges and universities. In one camp: those who paint a rosy picture of an economy that will continue to demand higher levels of education for an increasing share of the workforce. In the other: those who believe fewer people w

31、ill enroll（入学）in college as tuition costs go out of control and alternatives to the traditional degree emerge.“We are living in an age for learning, when theres so much knowledge available, that one would think that this is good news for higher education,” Bryan Alexander told me recently. Alexander

32、 writes often about the future of higher education and is finishing a book on the subject for Johns Hopkins University Press. “Yet weve seen enrollment in higher education drop for six years.”Alexander believes that for some colleges and universities to survive, they need to shift from their histori

33、cal mission of serving one type of student (usually a teenager fresh out of high school) for a specific period of time. “Were going to see many different ways through higher education in the future,” Alexander said, “from closer ties between secondary and postsecondary（中学后）schools to new options for

34、 adults. The question is, which institutions adopt new models and which try desperately to hang on to what they have.”“The fact is that to maintain affordability, accessibility and excellence, something needs to change,” Rafael Bras, Georgia Techs provost (院长), told me when he unveiled the report at

35、 the Milken Institute Global Conference this past spring.The commissions report includes many impressive ideas, but three point to the possibility of a very different future for colleges and universities.1) College for life, rather than just four years. The primary recommendation of the Georgia Tech

36、 report is that the university turns itself into a place for lifelong learning that allows students to “associate rather than enroll.”“Students who we educate now are expected to have a dozen occupations,” Bras said. “So a system that receives students once in their lives and turns them out with the

37、 Good Housekeeping seal(印章) of approval to become alums (校友) and come back on occasion and give money is not the right model for the future.”2) A network of advisers and coaches for a career. If education never ends, Georgia Tech predicts, neither should the critical advising function that colleges

38、provide to students. The commission outlines a plan in which artificial intelligence and virtual tutors help advise students about selecting courses and finding the best career options. But even for a university focused on science and technology, Georgia Tech doesnt suggest in its report that comput

39、ers will replace humans for all advising.3) A distributed presence around the world. Colleges and universities operate campuses and require students to come to them. In the past couple of decades, online education has grown greatly, but for the most part, higher education is still about face-to-face

40、 interactions.Georgia Tech imagines a future in which the two worlds are blended in what it calls the “atrium” a place that share space with entrepreneurs and become gathering places for students and alumni.In some ways, as the report noted, the atrium idea is a nod to the past, when universities ha

41、d agricultural and engineering experiment stations with services closer to where people in the state needed them.Whether Georgia Techs ideas will become real is, of course, unclear. But as Alexander told me after reading it, “There is a strong emphasis on flexibility and transformation so they can m

42、eet emergent trends.” This is clear: colleges and universities are about to undergo a period of deep change whether they want to or not as the needs of students and the economy shift.1、What can we learn from the two camps opinions about future colleges?AFuture workforce will have high levels of educ

43、ation.BThe expensive traditional degree is losing its appeal.CTraditional higher education is not practical.DDeclining enrollment in college results from easy learning.2、What should traditional colleges do according to Alexander?AThey should provide new options for adults to enter colleges.BThe shou

44、ld strengthen the ties between secondary and postsecondary schools.CThey should abandon what they have and change their historical mission.DThey should offer more freedom to students throughout their life.3、What can we infer from the commissions report?AStudents can return for further study or make

45、donations freely after graduation.BArtificial intelligence and virtual tutors will perform better in career guidance.CIt focuses on how to make people enjoy good education without stress.DThere is no point in requiring students to be present at school.4、The underlined words “two worlds” refer to _.A

46、Basic education and higher educationBentrepreneurs and studentsCpresent education and future educationDvirtual education and real classes5、What does the author think of atrium idea?AIt corresponds to the past idea in some way.BIt is hard to realize despite its flexibility.CIt makes some industries m

47、ore accessible.DIt is a practical solution to the declining enrollment.6、The passage mainly talks about _.Aa reflection on the drawbacks of current higher educationBthe key factors which determine higher educations futureCtwo camps opposite opinions abouthigher educationsfutureDa comparison between

48、traditional and future higher education24（8分）People Youve Never Heard of Who Changed the WorldIt is a fact that most people live their lives unremarked by history. Whether by design or by accident, there are some pioneers whose achievements changed the course of history but whose names are unknown t

49、o us.James HarrisonJames Harrison has saved the lives of over two million people by donating his blood 1,173 times, a Guinness world record. His blood produces a rare antibody (抗体) which cures the otherwise deadly Rhesus disease in unborn children. It has also been used in the development of a medic

50、ine anti-D, which will cure the Rhesus disease in children forever.Lewis LatimerAfter helping Alexander Graham Bell obtain his patent for the telephone, Lewis Latimer patented a carbon filament (碳灯丝), which allowed light bulbs to burn for hours before burning out, much more useful than that invented

51、 by Thomas Edison. Latimer went on to invent many other useful devices, including a device which cooled and cleaned patients rooms in hospitals.Maurice HillemanNot all achievements require bravery and self-sacrifice. Take Maurice Hilleman for example. He found another way to change the world. He dev

52、eloped the mumps vaccine (疫苗) after his daughter got the illness. And he didnt stop there. In total, he has single-handedly developed over 40 vaccines, including eight commonly given to children. His work has saved millions of lives and prevented serious consequences due to the diseases.Nils BohlinI

53、n 1959 Nils Bohlin patented a revolutionary design that has saved millions of lives the three-point safety belt. After the initial resistance from drivers who hated being told what to do, and even for their own good, the three-point belt has become a standard feature in new cars around the world.1、W

54、hose patent allowed light bulbs to burn for hours before burning out?AAlexander Graham Bell. BLewis Latimer.CThomas Edison. DNils Bohlin.2、Whats the similarity between James Harrison and Maurice Hilleman?AThey both had spirits of bravery and self-sacrifice.BTheir contributions saved the lives of man

55、y children.CThey devoted themselves to work because of family members.DThey both set a Guinness world record.3、What was drivers initial attitude to the three-point seat belt?AThey refused to use it. BThey were satisfied with it.CThey were surprised at it. DThey got excited about it.25（10分）Nowadays t

56、here is less and less contact between the old and the young. There are many reasons for this, but the result is the same: increasing numbers of children without grandparents and old people who have no contact with children. And more old people who are lonely and feel use- less, along with more and m

57、ore families with young children who desperately need more support. Its a major problem in many societies.Thats why intergenerational programmes, designed to bring the old and the young together, are growing in popularity all over the world, supported by UNESCO and other local and international orga

58、nisations. There are examples of successful initiatives all over the world. Using young people to teach IT skills to older people is one obvious example. Using old people as volunteer assistants in schools is another, perhaps reading with children who need extra attention.One successful scheme in Fr

59、ance is combining a residential home for the elderly with a creche/nursery school in the same building. The children and the residents eat lunch together and share activities such as music, painting, gardening and caring for the pets which the residents are encouraged to keep. In the afternoons, the

60、 residents enjoy reading or telling stones to the children and, if a child is feeling sad or tired, there is always a kind lap to sit on and a cuddle (依偎). There are trips out and birthday parties too.The advantages are enormous for everyone concerned. The children are happy because they get a lot m
