Passage 1
Eating out is such a pleasure ― the food, the
wine, the joy of having it all brought
to you
by someone else ― that it's a pity to ruin the
experience by sharing it with other
people.
Well, I do like visiting restaurants with
friends. But dining out alone has its
own very
special attractions. For a start, you can give all
your attention to the food.
There's nothing
worse than having to invent and deliver an opinion
on school league
tables or Sanchez's move to
Manchester United, plus listen to everyone else's
opinions,
when all you really want to do is
enjoy each mouthful along the way.
A
second great thing about eating out alone is the
chance to combine food
with one of life's
other true pleasures: reading. You have to plan
this carefully: Indian
or Chinese restaurants
are best ― you need food you can eat with just one
hand, leaving
the other free to hold your
reading material.
But perhaps the biggest
attraction of a table for one is the chance it
gives to
people-watching. Restaurants and the
different reasons for visiting them ― first date,
business meeting, night out with friends ―
produce human behaviour of surprising
richness
and variety. Will the man selling his business
idea get any joy out of his
possible investor
(投资者)? Will the married couple think of anything
to say to each
other before their main courses
arrive?
This
famous: everyone would
be watching you, so you wouldn't be able to watch
them. The

snooker player
Steve Davis says this was one of the strangest
consequences (后果) of
becoming well-known: he
got very worried about his eating in public,
almost to the
level of doubting whether he was
So next time you're considering your

myself and a
super head waiter.

Passage

America's top education official says
many schools are spending too much time
teaching the ﹣ reading, math and writing. It
might seem opposite to what
educators have
been promoting. But U. S. Education Secretary John
King says children
really deserve access to a
well﹣rounded education that includes music and
arts because
it will help them go into being
well﹣rounded, well﹣educated persons. King spoke
about his own education when explaining why
schools need to teach more than math,
reading
and writing.
King grew up in New York.
Both his parents died when he was quite young. In
his
house, things were often crazy and
frightening. It was his teacher, Mr. Osterwei, who
helped him escape his difficult life. Quite
often, the teacher took him and his classmates
to the theater, the zoo, the ballet and famous
Museum of Natural History.

University. He received
his law degree from Yale University. He took
charge of New
York State public schools from
2011﹣2015. The U. S. Senate approved him as
Education secretary last month.

schools spend almost all funding on the

Passage 3
Fifteen years ago, I took a summer vacation in
Lecce in southern Italy. After
climbing up a
hill for a panoramic (全景的) view of the blue sea,
white buildings and
green olive trees, I
paused to catch my breath and then positioned
myself to take the
best photo of this
panorama.
Unfortunately, just as I took
out my camera, a woman approached from behind,
and planted herself right in front of my view.
Like me, this woman was here to stop,
sigh and
appreciate the view.
5
Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my
camera scanning the sun and
reviewing the shot
I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it
too much to ask
her to move so I could take
just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could
have asked
her, but something prevented me
from doing so. She seemed so content in her
observation. I didn't want to mess with that.
Another 15 minutes passed and I grew
bored. The woman was still there. I decided
to
take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it,
I think her presence in the photo
is what
makes the image interesting. The landscape,
beautiful on its own, somehow
comes to life
and breathes because this woman is engaging with
it.
This photo, with the unique beauty
that unfolded before me and that woman who
her figure is captured (捕捉) and frozen on
some stranger's bedroom wall? A bedroom,
after
all, is a very private space, in which some woman
I don't even know has been
immortalized
(使……永存). In some ways, she lives in my house.
Perhaps we all live in each others' space.
Perhaps this is what photos are for: to
remind
us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all
share a common desire for pleasure,
for
connection, for something that is greater than us.
That photo is a reminder, a captured
moment, an unspoken conversation between
two
women, separated only by a thin square of glass.
1. According to the author, the woman was
probably ________ .
A. enjoying herself
B. losing her patience
6
C. waiting for the sunset
D.
thinking about her past
2. In the author's
opinion, what makes the photo so alive? ________
A. The rich color of the landscape.
B.
The perfect positioning of the camera.
C. The
woman's existence in the photo.
D. The soft
sunlight that summer day
3. The photo on the
bedroom wall enables the author to better
understand________ .
A. the need to be close
to nature
B. the importance of private space
C. the joy of the vacation in Italy
D. the
shared passion for beauty
4. The passage can
be seen as the author's reflections upon ________
.
A. a particular life experience
B. the pleasure of traveling
C. the art of
photography
D. a lost friendship
Passage 4
Started in 1636 Harvard University is the
oldest of all the many colleges and
universities in the United States. Yale,
Princeton, Columbia and Dartmouth were
opened
soon after Harvard.
7
In the
early years, these schools were much alike. Only
young men went to college.
All the students
studied the same subjects, and everyone learned
Latin, Greek and
Hebrew. Little was known
about science then, and one kind of school could
teach
everything that was known about the
world. When the students graduated, most of them
became ministers or teachers.
In 1782,
Harvard started a medical school for young men who
wanted to become
doctors. Later, lawyers could
receive their training in Harvard’s law school. In
1825,
besides Latin and Greek, Harvard began
teaching modern languages, such as French
and
German. Soon it began to teaching American
history.
As knowledge increased, Harvard and
other colleges began to teach many new
subjects. Students were allowed to choose the
subjects that interested them.
Today, there
are many different kinds of colleges and
universities. Most of them
are made up of
smaller schools that deal with
(涉及)
special
fields of learning. There’s
so much to learn
that one kind of school can’t offer in all.

_________.

An American cancer
survivor ha become he first person to swim across
the English
Channel four times on end.
Sarah Thomas, 37, completed the great
achievement on Tuesday after over 54
hours of
swimming. Her record-breaking achievement came
just a year after she

breast cancer (
乳腺癌
).
In a video on

Saturday, she dedicated (
奉献
) the swim “to
all the
survivors out there”, adding, “This is
for those of us who have wondered hopelessly
about what comes next, and have overcome the
pain bravely.”
After her swim, Mrs. Thomas
said, “I’m really tired and I’m losing my voice
from
all the salt water.” Asked what the worst
part of her challenge was, she said, “Probably
dealing with the salt water over two days. It
really hurts your throat, your mouth and
your
tongue.” She praised her support team for helping
her stay strong, adding that she
was very
prepared for the weather, currents(k it)and cold
water. “I feel just mostly
stunned right now.
