　　We wanted to give our Christmas meals to the refugee mothers, but it wasn’t 52 . All leftovers had to be thrown out. 53 mothers waited to pull the discarded food from the trash. I knew from the smiles on my friends’ faces that those mothers 54 hundreds of complete dinners that day.

　　5 Tips for Students Living Away From Home

　　Don’t Skip Orientation Week

　　Be involved! It’s the most effective way to make friends during the first couple weeks of being away from home. I am a fairly quiet person, and I came to university without knowing anyone. It was a little hard at first, but as long as you participate and keep your spirits up, you should make new friends in no time.

　　Resist the Urge to Go Home

　　I would suggest not making a habit of going home every weekend so you won’t miss out on things that happen during the weekend at school. Try to avoid going home the weekend after O-Week ends, or for all of September if possible. The first month will be the biggest adjustment and it's just easier to settle in, hang out with people and explore the city on weekends.

　　Stay Connected

　　I message and text my sister often and Facebook my friends to keep connected. Making new friends and diving into activities and homework is a great way to keep

　　yourself occupied, but in those moments when you are feeling incredibly lonely and

　　wondering what your mom is making for dinner, you need something extra. My recommendation is to have a couple photo albums to look through. It's also a good idea to make a plan to have a friend or family member come visit you. That way you have a piece of home to look forward to.

　　Spend Time on Campus

　　I met many off-campus people during O-week and in my classes, and some are now my best friends. Get involved in clubs, talk to people and don't go home immediately after your classes are done.

　　Live in Residence Halls (寄宿)

　　What you have to remember is that everybody else is going through the exact same things, so take comfort in that. Get to know your floor, let them become your home away from home and you'll see that you'll get through it easier than you thought. My residence holds lots of events such as parties and mixers for us to meet new people, I've attended all the events in my residence and school, and I've met tons of awesome people! What I'd say is: don't be shy, and socialize(社交). You'll make friends in no time. I've found residence halls to be beneficial, because my floor has helped each other through the transition (过渡时期). People living on your floor are more likely to understand your problems with school rather than your friends from high school who go to other universities.

　　56. When you fees extremely lonely, you are advised to

　　A. go back home immediately B. invite a friend to visit you

　　C. devote yourself to homework D. Facebook your friends or family

　　57. Why is it beneficial to live in residence halls?

　　A. It is full of people with the same experience.

　　B. It is as comfortable as your own house.

　　C. It is convenient to hold parties and activities.

　　D. It's similar to your old school.

　　B

　　Growing up in the 1950s,I was a 10-year-old risk-taker who caused his mom lots of stress.

　　Once I got into my aunt’s car so I could pretend to be a race car drive and accidentally knocked the parking gear stick(变速杆) off. The car rolled down the driveway as fast as it could go, crossed the road and finally stopped up against my neighbour’s curb(路边)。 I thought it was fun,but Mom didn’t think so. Normally would see a spanking (打屁股) coming,but this time I lucked out. I guess she was glad I was all right.

　　I enjoyed watching The Adventure of Superman on television so much that I wanted to fly just like him. One day I got into the closet and picked one of Mom’s best pillowcases(被套)。 I went out onto the front yard and tied the case around my neck,pretending it was a cape(斗篷)。Then,standing on the side of the porch(走廊),which was about 7 feet high, I jumped. The spanking my mother gave me didn’t hurt as much as my scraped knees.

　　But the worst thing I ever did happened when I tried to impress the new girl across the street. She was incredibly cute,so I went over and introduced myself.

　　After I told her my name,she said she wanted to show me something she had found. We went into her backyard,and in the knot of the biggest and oldest tree was a beehive. She said she liked honey and asked me how to get it out.

　　“we could stand watch,and when they leave the hive,we can reach in and take thr honey,”I suggested.

　　A large group of the bees flew away, so I moved closer to the hive. I was brave and maybe just a little crazy. I managed to take a little bit of honey when a bee rested on my arm. I killed the bee,and then it seemed like thousands of bees flew toward me. My new friend screamed and ran.

　　I ran as fast as I could across her yard and up the long hill to my front door. I never looked back. The sound of the bees behind me told me the coast wasn’t clear.When the group of bees attacked, I screamed for my mom.

　　As I reached my front door I saw her swimming a broom around me to get the bees off me. I didn’t care that she landed a few hard hits on my head. I just wanted them off.

　　Finally I made it inside, some from the stings(蛰)and red from the boom,but I was alive thanks to my mom. My superhero. All she needed was a cape. I knew where to get her one of those.

　　An app that does nothing but send a simple notification(提醒) of “Yo” to recipients is the most popular app right now in the US.

　　The app , named Yo, reached No. 1 on the Apple App Store in the US last week, after The Financial Times broke the story on June 18 that the app has received $ 1 million (6.23 million yuan) in investment funding.

　　Created in just eight hours by Arbel, a 32-year-old app development from Tel Aviv, Israel, Yo claims to be the “simplest and most efficient communication tool in the world”. With a single tap, users can send the word “Yo” to one another in a voice notification—and nothing else.

　　Arbel said about his app in an interview with The New Yorker that, “ It’s a whole new way of communication. A hundred and forty characters is way too much these day… It’s lightweight, easy, you don’t have to open a message—the notification itself is everything you need.”

　　When Yo was launched on April Fools’ Day this year, the Apple App Store at first rejected on the grounds that it lacked substance. Many people still see the app as a joke.

　　Arbel calls Yo “ context-based(基于语境的) communication” and some people are beginning to “get it”. Jordan Crook, from Tech Crunch, explains why the context of a “Yo” says much more than two little letters: As with anything, a “Yo” can just be a “Yo”. But you’ll feel a very real difference between a “Yo” get in the morning from a friend and a “Yo” you get in the evening from a board friend. Trust me. And that’s the magic.

　　But people don’t always want to load their “Yos” with meaning. David Shapiro, from The New Yorker, says now when he thinks about someone, he just “Yos” them instead of spending time starting and carrying on a conversation. He says it’s a great way of saying:” I’m thinking about you but I don’t have anything in particular to say.” Social media constantly demands our time and attention. Not responding to text message and e-mail can hurt relationships. But, Shapiro says a “Yo” doesn’t seem to demand a reply, “ What a relief,” he says.

　　61. Which of the following is TRUE about the app Yo?

　　A. It is a better type of social media than micro-blogging.

　　B. It was launched on April Fools’ Day this year as a joke.

　　C. Because it is simple to use , it has become an instant success.

　　D. Though it enjoys great popularity in the US, opinions on it are still divided.

　　62. The underlined word “substance” in Paragraph 5 probably means ______________.

　　A. adequate investment B. necessary technique support

　　C. the quality of being meaningful D. the quality of being fashionable

　　63. According to David Shapiro, Yo_________________.

　　A. has more meanings than two letters.

　　B. is an efficient way to connect with others.

　　C. is the best way to indicate that you’re missing someone.

　　D. is useful when you want to start a conversation but don’t know what to say.

　　64. The main purpose of the article is to ______________.

　　A. tell the story of how Yo was created B. present people’s opinions of Yo

　　C. give a brief introduction of Yo D. attract potential customers to Yo.

　　One of India’s great economic advantages is the relative youth of its population. By 2020 it will become the world’s youngest country, with 64% of its people at working age. To make the most of this advantage, India’s children need to be educated.

　　On paper, India is doing well. The country has a nationwide network of state primary schools funded by an earmarked(指定的) tax. Some 96% of children aged 6-14 go to school, even in rural areas. That’s well above the average for the developing world and their attendance is good. But attainment is poor; three-quarters of third-graders can’t read a grade-one text and 53% of grade-five kids can’t read at the standard they should have achieved at grade two. Levels of achievement are almost as bad in maths.

　　“The main problem in India is not enrollment(入学人数) or whether there is a local school; it’s the delivery of education ---the way teaching is done or not done,” says Vinati Sukhdev, executive director of Pratham, a charity that campaigns for better education in India. According to Ms Sukhdev, the country’s teachers are the third-best-paid in the world but they’re poorly trained and are often absent---it’s not uncommon for them to hold a second job outside school. Teacher attendance at primary level is only 85%, according to Pratham research and there is little punishment for those who don’t turn up.

　　Because more than 30% of India’s state primary schools are tiny establishments with just 60 or even fewer pupils---rising to 60%in the far north and north east ---the absence of a teacher is likely to mean that there is no learning that day.

　　The government knows that state schooling needs improving. In 2009, it passed the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act or the Right to Education (RTE) Act, a law for the national provision of free, child-friendly education. It says that there should be two teachers for every 60 students and that they should go to work regularly, get there on time, follow the curriculum, assess how well the children are learning and meet regularly with parents.

　　There has been some progress, though from a low base. According to Ms Sukhdev, 45% of schools agree with the pupil/ teacher ratios(比率), up from 39% in 2010, when the law took effect. Infrastructure is improving too. Two-thirds of state primaries now have a working toilet.

　　“What we need to do next is improve accountability(责任),” says Ms Sukhdev. Schools have management committees that are supposed to include parent and local government representatives. “But they don’t work or people don’t know they exist.” Pratham tries to help local communities and parents drive improvement. “You should see the kind of reaction we get when they realize the teacher is paid but isn’t turning up!” says Ms Sukhdev. “We can’t be everywhere, so we limit ourselves to working in a few districts, where we can create model schools. Then we try to work together with local governments to make sure every school in the district or state is raised to that level. “

　　the Read India program was launched by Pratham in 2007 and now it has created an easy-to-use teaching and assessment pack called Learning to read. It has trained teachers in how to use the pack in school and shown community health workers, volunteers and parents how it could support learning outside school. The program has now run across 19 states, involving 450,000 volunteers and training 600,000 teachers and government workers. Among the 33m children who have participated, the number of those who can read simple sentences has risen by 20%.

　　For Ms Sukhdev, the success of Read India underlines the need to find ideas that can be replicated(复制). According to the UNESCO money and attendance level are important---but it’s the quality of education delivered that really matters.

　　65. What problem with India’s education does Paragraph 2 show?

　　A. India’s efforts in education are not well rewarded.

　　B. India’s primary schools lack financial support.

　　C. Kids hardly attend school in India rural areas.

　　D. India third-graders often read grade-one texts.

　　66. Who are to blame for India’s poor education according to Vinati Sukhdev?

　　A. Local governments

　　B. School teachers

　　C. School students

　　D. Educational organizations

　　67. According to the passage, the RTE Act is mainly to _______.

　　A. improve teachers’ teaching skills

　　B. offer students many more courses

　　C. set up a teacher-friendly education

　　D. regulate teachers’ teaching behavior

　　68. The underlined words “that level” in paragraph 7 refer to ______.

　　A. the educational level of model schools

　　B. the required level of school management

　　C. the required level of teachers’ attendance

　　D. the educational level of average Indian schools

　　69. How do parents feel about the findings of Pratham’s research?

　　A. Unconcerned

　　B. Angry

　　C. Regretful

　　D. Sympathetic

　　70. What can be learnt about the Read India program?

　　A. It is in the charge of the UNESCO

　　B. It has helped train about 33m teachers

　　C. It encourages more students to attend schools

　　D. It is an example of what targeted help can achieve

　　第四部分 任务型阅读

　　Teenager bedwetting can be caused by a number of factors, some of which may be related to serious health issues. Bedwetting that starts suddenly can be a sign of serious trauma(创伤)or minor problems, like allergies. An isolated incident may be related to substance abuse.

　　One of the major causes of teenager bedwetting is simple genetics. Some teenagers mature more slowly than others, some have underdeveloped bladders(膀胱), and some have a family history of bedwetting. Given that these problems are usually present throughout childhood, it is likely that teenage bedwetting due to these causes will have a long history. Most people do eventually grow out of this type of bedwetting.

　　In some cases, teenage bedwetting can be caused by dietary changes. Increases in caffeine, dairy products, and other substances can cause a teenager to relapse(复发)into bedwetting. Isolating the problem can be difficult because the teenager may or may not be allergic to the substance.

　　Emotional troubles sometimes lead to bedwetting as well. Stress and trauma, in particular, can lead to uncontrolled bedwetting. In some cases, a teenager may be hiding the source of the severe trauma and may not be willing to give information when confronted. Cases like these are often handled by psychologist.

　　There are a number of causes of teenage bedwetting that relate to how urine(小便)is produced and the available space in which to store it. A teenager may for any number of reasons begin to produce excess urine. It is also possible that he or she has a small bladder that is not capable of handling the amount of urine produced at night. Having a small bladder does not necessarily imply that a person will wet the bed, so bladder size may not always provide a definitive answer. In combination with a sleep disorder, which may prevent the teenager from waking up when the bladder is full, these conditions can produce bedwetting.

　　It can be hard to diagnose(诊断)the cause of bedwetting in teens, but understanding why a teenager is wetting the bed can be helpful not only for health but for emotional security as well. Teenagers are often ashamed of wetting the bed, and this shame may interfere with their other activities. By diagnosing the cause even if there is no cure, a teenager who suffers from bedwetting may experience an improvement in overall quality of life.

　　Dozens of old people gather in public parks and squares early in the morning, turn on the loudspeakers and dance to music, which has been controversial because of the noise pollution it creates.

　　Some citizens hold the view that the loud noise is unbearable, thus disturbing the normal life of the people living near the squares and they also hope that the groups can keep the volume down to create a quiet environment. However, the retirees think group dancing brings them health and happiness, without which their life will be extremely boring. Besides, they have their own right to dance on the square as it is also one of the recreational activities like playing chess or playing cards.

　　In my opinion, there is no denying that getting together to dance allows the elderly to maintain health and be social (make more new friends who share the same hobby with them, and build up their body as well). However, whatever their choice of entertainment, it’s important not to neglect the public order and affect other people’s lives. So it’s time for the government to draft regulations which include details such as the restrictions on the volume, the areas and the musical equipment. Only in this way can we see a harmonious scene.
