“Selfie” (自拍) joins ranks of dictionary words.
In 2002, an Australian man went to his friend’s 21st birthday party. He got drunk,
tripped on some steps and cut his lip. He took a picture of his injuries and shared

it with his friends on an online forum. “And sorry about the focus,” he wrote, “it
was a selfie.” That was the first recorded use of the word “selfie”, according
to linguistic experts at Oxford Dictionaries.
On Nov 19, Oxford Dictionaries declared “selfie” Word of the Year for 2013,
in honor of the term having taken over the world thanks to millions of smart phone
self-portraits and the resulting shares on social media.
So what does the choice of the word say about our culture? Mary Elizabeth Williams,
writing in Salon magazine, says the word reminds us that contemporary culture is
defined by our narcissism(自恋).Megan Jackson from a local newspaper points out a
selfie may only focus on appearance.
Selfies invite judgment based on appearance alone. What kind of cultural influence
does this have on women? Erin Gloria Ryan on Jezebel says selfies teach young woman
to obsess over their appearance and judge themselves on the basis of beauty rather
than accomplishments. “They’re a reflection of the warped way we teach girls to
see themselves as decorative,” said Ryan.
In Slate magazine, Rachel Simmons has the opposite view. She argues that selfies
are an example of young women promoting themselves and taking control of their own
self-presentation. Think of each one, she says, as “a tiny pulse of girl pride —a
shout-out to the self”.
21. Which of the following is true about the first use of “selfie”?
A. The Australian man created it to celebrate his friend’s 21st birthday.
B. The Australian man created by chance when he got drunk and shared his photo
online.
C. The Oxford Dictionary used it to thank the creation of smart phone.
D. The social media were so advanced that they made the word transmitted.
22. The underlined word “tripped” in the first paragraph probably means
“________”.
A. traveled B. stepped lightly
C. fell down D. made mistakes
23. Who holds a positive opinion towards selfie in the life of women?

A. Mary Elizabeth. B. Megan Jackson.
C. Erin Gloria Ryan. D. Rachel Simmons.
B
If a woman has an extra piece of cake, don’t blame it on greed, blame it on her
brain.
Scientists have found that women’s brains react to food very differently -- and
much more strongly -- than men’s. Academics found that decades of dieting pressure
on women and advertising have programmed certain parts of the female brain to react
strongly when faced with any kind of food. Men, on the other hand, are not usually
as obsessive about what they eat.
Dr. Rudolf Uher and his colleagues at the Institute of Psychiatry in King’s
College London used brain scanning technology, known as functional magnetic resonance
imaging (FMRI), to look at the brains of eighteen men and women. The volunteers were
given images of food to look at, as well as food to taste. Their brain reactions were
observed by the scientists. They found that the female brains reacted much more
strongly than those of males. The same reaction did not happen when they were shown
non-food images. The team believe this means women think more about food than men
tend to.
Dr. Uher said, “ This could be related to biological differences between men
and women. But the more likely explanation is that women have a more complicated
reaction to food because of social pressure.”
Professor Carey Cooper, psychology and health professor at Lancaster University,
said, “ for centuries women have had a providing role -- preparing and cooking food
for their families. And it's part of that role to make sure the food is safe. They
will therefore be much more sensitive to food than men are, and I would not be surprised
if that was now built into their DNA. If the female brain reacts to food because it
historically has developed neural(神经的) pathways to do this, then food will be the
way they express their stress. Food actually, is a comfort for women.”
But other experts have said that more research must be done before the results

can be proved. American scientist Angelo del Parigi of the John B. Pierce Laboratory
in New Haven, Connecticut, said “Looking at an FMRI alone cannot make sure whether
the stronger reaction in women is due to innate (天生的）differences or a learned
process.”
24. and his colleagues carried out the research by comparing
.
A. Volunteers’ reactions to food before and after meals
B. FMRI’s scanning result of scientists
C. women’s and men’s brain reactions to pictures of food
D. volunteers’ imagination on the taste of food

Dr. Uher’s opinion, women react more strongly to food than men most probably
because they are_________
A. born to do so due to biological reasons
B. influenced by advertisements
C. told to do so for a long time
D. forced by powerful social influences
26. According to Professor Carey Cooper, women .
A. are satisfied with preparing food for their families
B. turn to food when they feel sad
C. accept their social role from the heart
D. are stressed because of food safety
was Angelo del Parigi’s attitude towards the research results?
A. Curious B. Surprised.


C. Uninterested. D. Doubtful.
C
New research shows that kids from low-income families may be falling behind their
peers because an important part of their brains is underdeveloped.
Researchers from MIT’ s McGovern Institute for Brain Research compared the brains
of 12-and 13-year-olds from rich families with the brains of their peers from

lower-income families. They found that one particular area of the brain—the
neocortex(新皮质),which plays a key role in memory and learning ability—is thinner
in children from lower-income households.
This is a crucial part of the brain for young students, who are often tested based
on their ability to recall large chunks of information. Children who had a thinner
neocortex performed poorly on standardized tests,researchers than 90% of
high-income students scored above average on a statewide math and EnglishLanguage
Arts standardized test,compared with less than 60% of low-income ences
in cortical(脑皮层) thickness could account for almost half of the income- achievement
gap in this sample,researchers wrote.
“Just as you would expect, there’ s a real cost not living in a supportive
environment. We can see it not only in test scores,in educational attainment,but
within the brains of these children,”says psychological scientist John Gabrieli,a
professor of brain and cognitive sciences at MIT and one of the study’s authors.
Since a 2011 study published by Stanford University professor Sean Reardon found
that the gap between standardized test scores of high-income and low-income students
has grown by about 40% since the 1960s,there’ s been a lot of research aimed at finding
links between income and achievement, rather than race alone. The MIT study found
low- income children were equally likely to have a thinner neocortex,no matter their
races.
Gabrieli and his co-authors can’ t say exactly why poor children’ s brains
develop differently because there are too many possibilities to findings
do,however,underline the importance of early intervention(干预) to ensure that
low-income kids get the tools they need to succeed.
28．What’ s the function of the first paragraph?
A. To list some findings.
B. To give some advice.
C. To do some comparisons.
D. To show the main idea of the text.
29．What does the underlined word “crucial” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Special. B. Important.
C. Separate. D. Unknown.
30．What John Gabrieli says in Paragraph 4 mainly shows the importance of .
A. cognitive ability
B. educational attainment
C. having developed brains
D. living in supportive surroundings
31．What is the main idea of the passage?
y parents do better in raising children.
ences exist between poor children and rich ones.
children study harder due to their financial conditions.
children have thinner neocortex than their wealthy peers.
D
Every evening, 15-year- old Rashida returns home from school, changes out of her
uniform, and rushes to a neighboring farm to help her mother harvest vegetables. Her
father is disabled, so the modest profit the two of them earn must cover food, clothing
and other necessities for all seven children and their parents. Despite having
precious little time to study, Rashida is one of the top students at her junior
secondary school. But with so much responsibility on her small shoulders, she admits
that it is sometimes hard for her to imagine a more promising future.
Last year, Rashida was invited to join 155 other girls at Camfed Ghana’s first
Girls’ Career Camp, a program designed to inspire girls growing up in the country’s
Northern Region to dream big, and to support them to pursue those dreams. “We
organized this camp because we wanted to let girls know that even if they are struggling
with poverty, their lives will not be defined by limitations,” says Dolores Dickson,
Camfed Ghana’s Executive Director.
Over the course of five days, the camp led the junior and secondary school students
through a range of experiences and career opportunities that were entirely new to
them. Dr. Agnes Apusiga, a lecturer from the University of Development Studies, ran
the workshop on goal-setting and career choices, describing the universities and

training colleges in Ghana that could help them achieve their dreams. Participants
then visited the University for Development Studies, where they toured the medical
school and science labs. Another highlight was a workshop at the computer lab at Tamale
Secondary School. Many of the girls had studied information technology from a book
but had never before seen a computer.
“When the girls arrived at camp, they were not ambitious, because they didn’t
have any idea what the world held for them,” says Eugenia Ayagiba, Project Officer
with Camfed Ghana. “Many had scarcely traveled beyond their own villages.”
“I think the most important thing that happened at the camp is that we opened
a window of hope for a group of girls coming from backgrounds of poverty,” says Eugenia.
For Rashida, who has been laughed at in the past by her schoolmates because of her
father’s disability, the experience was important. “She told one of the camp
mentors(辅导员) that when she is at school, she often feels like a misfit, and she
prefers to keep to herself,” says Eugenia. “But at the camp, it was different. She
made friends with girls who have similar struggles. She took part in every single
activity, every single game. On the last day, she said to her mentor, ‘The camp has
challenged me to study hard. Now I see that there is light at the end of the tunnel.’
32．How many are there in Rashida’s family?
A．Seven B．Eight C．Nine D．Ten
33．Why did the camp lead the students to visit universities and training colleges?
A．To show they are better than their schools
B．To encourage them to get good education．
C．To show them what they are like
D．To get them to touch the advanced equipment there
34．What can we infer from the passage?
A．Rashida has become friends with her mentors
B．Rashida’s mentors has encouraged her a lot．
C．Rashida was sad because of her father’s disability．
D．Rashida has had her new dream since the camp
35．The best title of the passage is ___________．

A．Poor Girls in Ghana B．Girls’ Career Camp
C．Camfed Ghana D．Students in Ghana Dream Big

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余
选项。
Technology has enabled people to connect fast and across vast distances. 36
Therefore, it is important to find ways to communicate with more value and be more
genuine, while still keeping pace with the demands of the modern day.
1. Cut back on texting. Texting is a good way of keeping in touch and communicating
with another person if calling them is not possible. Unless you can’t help it, give
up the habit of texting – while walking, eating or driving – because texting is
not real communication. 37 Calling is a great way of enhancing conversations
because it’s more direct, with a greater chance of successful communication.
2. ___38___ We are more willing to spend time on Facebook than actually turn
away from our desks and have a conversation with the person working right next to
us. A good way of improving real-time communication is to log off the Internet or
log out of your social media.
3. Meet people face-to-face. The next time you open Facebook to catch up with
a friend, call them up and meet them instead. ___39___ Take time to meet with the
people who matter to you and you will get a kind of communication and relationship
that staring at a screen just can’t provide.
4. Technology is a tool. It is worth remembering that technology is only a tool
we have at our disposal. ___40___ Use social networks to find people, to reconnect
with friends, to support a cause and to contribute to the bigger picture in a more
substantive manner.
A. Log out.
B. Listen more.
C. However, it has also created barriers around us.
D. Do you find yourself opening it more than necessary?
E. Something as casual as coffee or lunch can help you connect and communicate
with
them.
F. Every once in a while, it’s a good idea to cut back on texting and call people
instead.

G. We can’t escape the virtual world and nor should we try, but we can choose
to use it more intelligently.

When I first learn to write in English, I ran into much difficulties. The main
problem was that I always thought in Chinese and tried to translate into my own language
everything which I came across while I was reading. My teacher advised myself to keep
a diary. I followed his advices and put down 100 words or so each day.
Soon I began to enjoy talk to myself as I was learning to express myself with simple
