Bacow. His father worked full time while attending a state college in Detroit at night to earn his degree.Bacow, the former president of Tufts University, has taken over Harvard at a time when higher education is under attack for being financially out of reach to many Americans. But Bacow said his familys journey had reflected the power of college education to transform generations and the opportunities that have historically been available in the United States.“My parents came to this country with almost nothing,” Bacow said. “I wouldnt be here if this country had not been open to people like my parents at that time. Nor would I if my father hadnt had the opportunity to get the college education.”Bacow grew up in Pontiac, Michigan. His fathers family fled anti-Jewish (反犹太的) violence in Minsk, then part of the Soviet Union, before the start of World War II and went to the United States. His mother arrived in Brooklyn at age 19, having survived Auschwitz concentration camp. She was the only Jew from her town to have survived the war. Yet Bacow, who is married with two sons, said that while growing up in Michigan, he had a happy childhood, entering science fairs as a child and building radios like his dad.Bacow has spent most of his professional career at MIT, Harvard and Tufts. He was a professor of environmental studies at MIT, and later a principal at the university. He led Tufts from 2001 to 2011. At Tufts, Bacow earned a reputation for shaking up a sleepy university that was being overshadowed by its peers in Boston. He is also credited with leading it through both 9/11 and the 2008 financial crisis.As the Tufts president, Bacow traveled around the country, reaching out to alumni (校友), and he urged his faculty and deans to do the same, in an effort to boost donations to finance Tufts academic ambitions. He raised more than $20 million for faculty recruitment, attracting up-and-coming professors by offering junior faculty perks (福利), such as long academic leaves that they couldnt get elsewhere.Under Bacows leadership, Tufts spent millions on labs and libraries. He also made addresses nationally about the need to make higher education more accessible and affordable to low-income students.1、The reason why Bacow appreciates college education is that .Acollege education is out of reach to many AmericansBhis family changed their fate due to college educationCfew opportunities were available when his father came into the countryDa college degree helped his mother survive Auschwitz2、What can we infer from the passage?AThe fellow townspeople of Bacow were all killed besides his mother.BBacows mother stimulated his interest in science.CBacows father was good at working with electronics.DBacows father came to the U.S. after World War II broke out.3、The underlined word “shaking up” in paragraph 5 probably means .AreactivatingBcausingCdamagingDtaking over4、What is this passage mainly about?AHow to be admitted to Harvard University.BThe history of Bacows family.CThe art of Bacows leadership in Tufts.DBacows way to individual success.22（8分）A majority of men are emotionally blocked.To men it seemed as if their emotional problems were evident at birth. A few weeks ago, I spent an afternoon with a seven-month-old baby boy and his mother. I found myself fascinated by the little boys expressiveness. His face was constantly in motion, reflecting everything that was happening in him and to him. A hunger feeling, the comfort of being held, and the fear and relief he feltall of these sensations and emotions appeared instantly on his face. He didnt hide his thoughts or feelings.Most babies are allowed to be free with their emotions until they are around one year old. Then about the time they begin to walk and talk, their parents start to make them repress their feelings. The degree to which parents repress their children varies from household to household. We tend to discourage so-called “negative emotions” such as fear, sadness, and anger. We believe that if we can make our children act happily and well behave, they will become truly happy and well-adjusted adults.To some degree this management of emotions applies to both sexes. When boys or girls show feelings that their parents think inappropriate or threaten to reveal the abnormal nature of the family, their parents find some way to stop them. Parents do this in a variety of ways. Depending on their parenting styles, they may ignore their children; shame them; educate them; bribe(贿赂) them; distract them; punish them or physically abuse them.It is rare if a child doesnt suffer from some form of parental repression. But as a rule, little boys are required to restrict even more of their emotions than little girls. Men in this society are assigned two traditional roles: providing and protecting. In order to fulfill those roles little boys are required to repress more of their emotions. Boys are raised according to a masculine(阳性的) code, a complex set of beliefs that influences how they think, feel and behave. The masculine code is not taught through formal means. Societys goal is not to cause emotional injury to the boys but to harden them to face the difficulties men have always had to face.1、The authors experience about the seven-month-old baby boy shows that _.Apeople are born to be crazy or frightenedBpeople will surely be lonely for all their livesCmen are emotionally whole when they are bornDmens emotional problems are various at birth2、What is the meaning of the underlined word “repress” in Paragraph 3?APress something for a second time.BMake others understand something.CPut pressure onto something soft.DTry not to show an emotion or a feeling.3、Which of the following expressions shows how parents bribe a child?A“Please stop crying, honey. Do you want a cookie?”B“Did that big dog scare you? Look, theres a cute cat!”C“How dare you look at me that way! Go to your room!”D“When you cry like that, you sound like your baby sister.”4、It can be inferred that _.Aparental repression on children is common in societyBparental repression has more effects on girls than on boysCthe masculine code is meant to cause mental injuries to menDthe masculine code is rarely educated through informal means5、What would be the best title for the passage?AWhen boys find it hard to express their feelings.BWhy boys are used to controlling their emotions.CDifficulties men have to face to be successful.DRoles men have to play to be competitive.23（8分）When youre siting at your computer, do you work attentively all day? Or do you allow yourself to become distracted now and againto open a few extra tabs, check social media, read a spot of news, maybe catch up on some celebrity gossip, and look at someStop! Youre “cyberloafing”. The word is a combination of “cyber”, which means “related to computers”, and “loafing”，which means “relaxing in a lazy way”.We do it, and we do it a lot. A study from the University of Texas suggests we are guilty of this form of delay for 14% of our working day. On a Friday afternoon, I expect its more than that.Ill admit to it. In fact Ive already done it in the course of writing this story. OK, more than once.But its a slippery slope. It can damage your productivity and even your career. Because according to the University of Texas research, each time a worker gets distracted by the Internet it takes an average of 23 minutes to get back to work.More than that, cyberloafing has a dark side, according to a report published in The Journal of Psychosocial Research on Cyberspace. It argues that cyberloafing is connected to several negative personalities. People who cyberloaf are more likely to be self-interested and self-admired. Furthermore, people with these personalities are less likely to feel sorry about avoiding work, and less concerned about getting caught.Why do we do it? For some, its undoubtedly an escape from the continuous boredom of what theyre supposed to be doing. Or a way of avoiding handling that ever growing tasks. Some might get a feeling of satisfaction finding a great deal online. But overall, its something that takes you away from what youre actually being paid to do, or paying to do: if youre a student.When you have the whole world of the Internet at your fingertips, its hard to resist.1、The first paragraph is meant to _.Aintroduce the topic Bsummarize the main ideaCdescribe the phenomenon Darouse the readers interest2、What attitude does the writer hold towards cyberloafing?AIndifferent. BIncurable.CConcerned. DSupportive.3、What is the writer likely to continue to talk about?AThe best way to stop cyberloafing.BHow to improve your efficiency.CHow to get rid of online addiction.DHow to avoid being caught by your boss when cyberloafing.24（8分） Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together, they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: international competitions encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred (憎恨). There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sport encourages international brotherhood. Not only was there the tragic incident including the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by incidents caused mainly by smaller national contests.One country received its second-place medals with visible anger after the hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to the final decisions. They were sure that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents victory was unfair. Their manager was in great anger when he said, “This wasnt hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished.” The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension (停赛) of the team for at least three years.Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals, or in non-national teams, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism (爱国主义).1、According to the author, recently the Olympic Games have _.Acreated goodwill between the nationsBbrought about only false national prideCshowed little international friendshipDput an end to misunderstanding and hatred2、What does the underlined word “disallowed” in Paragraph 2 mean?APermitted to pass.BConsidered as reasonable.CWon by the other side.DRefused to accept.3、What conclusion can we draw from the passage?AThe current organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.BAthletes should compete as individuals in the Olympic Games.CA game should be played competitively rather than for the love of the game.DMore and more athletes will compete for their own honor25（10分）Everyone smiles in the same language.But not everyone smiles in the same medium,and that mig
