A
Are you content with the shape of your nose? If not, the climate may be to blame, not your parents.
According to a recent study carried out by scientists from Pennsylvania State University, US, climate played a key role in shaping our noses.The findings were based on an examination of the size and shape of noses of 476 people from four regions — West Africa, East Asia, South Asia and Northern Europe, using 3­D facial imaging technology.
“People have thought for a long time the difference in nose shape among humans across the world may have arisen as a result of natural selection because of climate，” Arslan Zaidi, one of the lead authors of the study, told The Guardian.But while previous studies were based on measurements from human skulls, Zaidi and his team looked at nose shape itself.
The result showed that wider noses are more common in warm and humid climate, while narrower noses are more common in cold and dry climate.That, Zaidi said, could be because narrower nasal passages help to increase the moisture (潮湿) content of air and warm it, which is easier on our lungs.This, in turn, led to a gradual decrease in nose width in populations living far away from the equator.
More studies are still needed to test the link between climate and nose shape, but Zaidi believes the current findings are valuable in understanding potential health issues.“As we become more of a global community, we are going to come across climate that we do not adapt to，” he told The Guardian.This means moving to a very different climate might increase the risk of breathing problems.
However, he added, “This may not be necessarily true for various reasons such as of modern medicine and the fact that our current climate is very different from what it used to be.”
1、From the passage we know most people from Singapore have noses.
A．wider B．narrower
C．smaller D．larger
2、Narrower noses are helpful to .
A．cool the air B．warm the air
C．take in more oxygen D．dry the air
3、What can be learned about the study?
A．Zaidi’s team measured human skulls using 3­D technology.
B．The shape of our noses is determined by our parents.
C．Nose shape helps people adapt to the environment.
D．It’s certain that people will suffer from more breathing problems.
4、Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A．What factors shape noses?
B．How to make your nose attractive?
C．Nose shape causes breathing problems
D．Climate shapes noses

B
Is there clear boundary between science and the liberal arts as a major for college students? The question of whether our government should promote science and technology or the liberal arts in higher education is not an either/ or proposition(命题)，although the current emphasis on preparing young Americans for STEM (science, technology, engineering, maths)-related fields can make it seem that way.
The latest congressional report acknowledges the critical importance of technical training, but also stresses that the study of the humanities and social sciences must remain central elements of American’s educational system at all levels. Both are critical to producing citizens who can participate effectively in our democratic society, become innovative leaders, and benefit from the spiritual enrichment that the reflection on the great ideas of mankind over time provides.
Parents and students who have invested heavily in higher education worry about graduates’ job prospects(前景) as technological advances and changes in domestic and global markets transform professions in ways that reduce wages and cut jobs. Under this circumstances, it’s natural to look for what may appear to be the most “practical” way out of the problem. “Major in a subject designed to get you a job” seems the obvious answer to some, though this ignores the fact that many disciplines in the humanities characterized as “soft” often, in fact, lead to employment and success in the long run. Indeed, according to surveys, employers have expressed a preference for students who have received a broadly-based education that has taught them to write well, think critically, research creatively, and communicate easily
Moreover, students should be prepared not just for their first job, but for their fourth and fifth jobs, as there is little reason to doubt that people entering the workforce today will be called upon to play many different roles over the course of their careers. The ones who will do the best in this new environment will be those whose educations have prepared them to be flexible. The ability to draw upon every available tool and insight-picked up from science, arts, and technology- to solve the problems of the future, and take advantage of the opportunities that present themselves, will be helpful to them and the United States.
1、What does the latest congressional report suggest?
A．Higher education should be adjusted to the practical needs of society.
B．The liberal arts in higher education help enrich students’ spiritual life.
C．STEM-related subjects help students find jobs in the information society.
D．The humanities and STEM subjects should be given equal importance.
2、What does the author say about the so called soft subjects?
A．They are essential to students’ healthy growth.
B．They improve students’ communication skills.
C．They broaden students range of interests.

D．They benefit students in their future life.
3、What is the main concern of students when they choose a major?
A．The academic value of the courses.
B．Their interest in relevant subjects.
C．Their chances of getting a good job.
D．the quality of education to receive.
4、What advice does the author give to college students?
A．Try to take a variety of practical courses.
B．Prepare themselves for different job options.
C．Adopt a flexible approach to solving problems.
D．Seize opportunities to tap their potential.
