21．（6分） The new president of Harvard University is the son of an Eastern European refugee and Auschwitz (奥斯威辛) survivor — Lawrence S. 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 family’s 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 wouldn’t be here if this country had not been open to people like my parents at that time. Nor would I if my father hadn’t had the opportunity to get the college education.”
Bacow grew up in Pontiac, Michigan. His father’s 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 couldn’t get elsewhere.
Under Bacow’s 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 .
A．college education is out of reach to many Americans
B．his family changed their fate due to college education
C．few opportunities were available when his father came into the country
D．a college degree helped his mother survive Auschwitz
2、What can we infer from the passage?
A．The fellow townspeople of Bacow were all killed besides his mother.
B．Bacow’s mother stimulated his interest in science.
C．Bacow’s father was good at working with electronics.
D．Bacow’s father came to the U.S. after World War II broke out.
3、The underlined word “shaking up” in paragraph 5 probably means .
A．reactivating B．causing C．damaging D．taking over
4、What is this passage mainly about?
A．How to be admitted to Harvard University. B．The history of Bacow’s family.
C．The art of Bacow’s leadership in Tufts. D．Bacow’s 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 boy’s 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 felt—all of these sensations and emotions appeared instantly on his face. He didn’t 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 doesn’t 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. Society’s 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 author’s experience about the seven-month-old baby boy shows that ________.
A．people are born to be crazy or frightened
B．people will surely be lonely for all their lives
C．men are emotionally whole when they are born
D．men’s emotional problems are various at birth
2、What is the meaning of the underlined word “repress” in Paragraph 3?
A．Press something for a second time.
B．Make others understand something.
C．Put pressure onto something soft.
D．Try 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, there’s 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 ________.
A．parental repression on children is common in society
B．parental repression has more effects on girls than on boys
C．the masculine code is meant to cause mental injuries to men
D．the masculine code is rarely educated through informal means
5、What would be the best title for the passage?
A．When boys find it hard to express their feelings.
B．Why boys are used to controlling their emotions.
C．Difficulties men have to face to be successful.
D．Roles men have to play to be competitive.
23．（8分）When you’re siting at your computer, do you work attentively all day? Or do you allow yourself to become distracted now and again…to open a few extra tabs, check social media, read a spot of news, maybe catch up on some celebrity gossip, and look at some…
Stop! You’re “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 it’s more than that.
I’ll admit to it. In fact I’ve already done it in the course of writing this story. OK, more than once.
But it’s 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, it’s undoubtedly an escape from the continuous boredom of what they’re 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, it’s something that takes you away from what you’re actually being paid to do, or paying to do: if you’re a student.
When you have the whole world of the Internet at your fingertips, it’s hard to resist.
1、The first paragraph is meant to ________.
A．introduce the topic B．summarize the main idea
C．describe the phenomenon D．arouse the readers’ interest
2、What attitude does the writer hold towards cyberloafing?
A．Indifferent. B．Incurable.
C．Concerned. D．Supportive.
3、What is the writer likely to continue to talk about?
A．The best way to stop cyberloafing.
B．How to improve your efficiency.
C．How to get rid of online addiction.
D．How 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 wasn’t 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 ________.
A．created goodwill between the nations
B．brought about only false national pride
C．showed little international friendship
D．put an end to misunderstanding and hatred
2、What does the underlined word “disallowed” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Permitted to pass. B．Considered as reasonable.
C．Won by the other side. D．Refused to accept.
3、What conclusion can we draw from the passage?
A．The current organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.
B．Athletes should compete as individuals in the Olympic Games.
C．A game should be played competitively rather than for the love of the game.
D．More and more athletes will compete for their own honor
