the

four
texts.

questions
after
each
text
by
choosing
A, B, C or D. Mark
your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (40 points)
Text 1
It
’
s
true
that
high-
school
coding
classes
aren
’
t
essential
for
learning
computer
science
in
college.
Students
without
experience
can
catch
up
after
a
few
introductory
courses,
said
Tom
Cortina,
the assistant dean at Carnegie
Mellon
’
s School of Computer
Science.
However,
Cortina
said,
early
exposure
is
beneficial.
When
younger
kids
learn
computer
science,
they
learn
that
it
’
s
not
just
a
confusing,
endless
string
of
letters
and
numbers
—
but
a
tool
to build apps, or
create artwork, or test hypotheses.
It
’
s not as hard for them to
transform
their
thought
processes
as
it
is
for
older
students.
Breaking
down
problems
into
bite-sized
chunks
and using code to
solve them becomes normal. Giving more children
this training could increase
the number
of people interested in the field and help fill
the jobs gap, Cortina said.
Students
also
benefit
from
learning
something
about
coding
before
they
get
to
college,
where
introductory computer-science classes
are packed to the brim, which can drive the
less-experienced or-determined students
away.
The
Flatiron
School,
where
people
pay
to
learn
programming,
started
as
one
of
the
many
coding
bootcamps
that
’
s
become
popular
for
adults
looking
for
a
career
change.
The
high-schoolers
get
the same curriculum, but
“
we
try
to gear
lessons toward
things they
’
re interested
in,
”
said
Victoria Friedman, an instructor. For
instance, one of the apps the students are
developing
suggests movies based on
your mood.

The students in
the Flatiron class probably
won
’
t drop out of high
school and build the
next Facebook.
Programming languages have a quick turnover, so
the
“
Ruby on
Rails
”
language
they
learned
may
not
even
be
relevant
by
the
time
they
enter
the
job
market.
But
the
skills
they
learn
—
how to think logically
through a problem and
organize the
results
—
apply to any
coding language, said Deborah Seehorn, an
education
consultant for the state of
North Carolina.
Indeed, the Flatiron
students might not go into IT at all. But creating
a future army of
coders
is
not
the
sole
purpose
of
the
classes.
These
kids
are
going
to
be
surrounded
by
computers
—
in
their
pockets,
in
their
offices,
in
their
homes
—
for
the
rest
of
their
lives.
The
younger
they learn how
computers think, how to coax the machine into
producing what they want
—
the
earlier they learn that they have
the power to do that
—
the
better.
21. Cortina holds that early
exposure to computer science makes it easier
to____.
A. complete future job training
B. remodel the way of thinking
C. formulate logical hypotheses
D. perfect artwork production
22. In delivering lessons for high-
schoolers, Flatiron has considered their____.
A. experience
B. academic
backgrounds
C. career prospects
D. interest
23. Deborah
Seehorn believes that the skills learned at
Flatiron will____.
A. help students
learn other computer languages
B. have
to be upgraded when new technologies come
C. need improving when students look
for jobs
D. enable students to make big
quick money
24. According to the last
paragraph, Flatiron students are expected to____.
A. compete with a future army of
programmers
B. stay longer in the
information technology industry
C.
become better prepared for the digitalized world

Biologists
estimate
that
as
many
as
2
million
lesser
prairie
chickens---a
kind
of
bird
living
on stretching
grasslands
—
once lent red to
the often gray landscape of the midwestern and
southwestern
United
States.
But
just
some
22,000
birds
remain
today,
occupying
about
16%
of
the
species
’
historic
range.
The crash was a major reason the
U.S Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)decided to
formally
list the bird as threatened.
“
The lesser prairie chicken
is in a desperate
situation,
”
said
USFWS
Director
Daniel
Ashe.
Some
environmentalists,
however,
were
disappointed.
They
had
pushed
the
agency
to
designate
the
bird
as
“
< br>endangered,
”
a
status
that
gives
federal
officials
greater
regulatory power to
crack down on threats. But Ashe and others argued
that the
“
threatened
”
tag gave the federal
government flexibility to try out new, potentially
less confrontational
conservations
approaches. In particular, they called for forging
closer collaborations with
western
state governments, which are often uneasy with
federal action and with the private
landowners who control an estimated 95%
of the prairie chicken
’
s
habitat.
Under
the
plan,
for
example,
the
agency
said
it
would
not
prosecute
landowner
or
businesses
that unintentionally kill, harm, or
disturb the bird, as long as they had signed a
range
—
wide
management
plan
to
restore
prairie
chicken
habitat.
Negotiated
by
USFWS
and
the
states,
the
plan
第
6
页
权威师资

requires
individuals
and
businesses
that
damage
habitat
as
part
of
their
operations
to
pay
into
a fund to
replace every
acre destroyed
with 2 new acres of suitable habitat. The fund
will also
be
used
to
compensate
landowners
who
set
aside
habitat,
USFWS
also
set
an
interim
goal
of
restoring
prairie chicken
populations to an annual average of 67,000 birds
over the next 10 years. And
it gives
the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife
Agencies (WAFWA), a coalition of state
agencies, the job of monitoring
progress. Overall, the idea is to let
“
states
”
remain in
the
driver
’
s seat
for managing the species
，”
Ashe said.
Not everyone buys the win-
win rhetoric Some Congress members are trying to
block the plan,
and
at
least
a
dozen
industry
groups,
four
states,
and
three
environmental
groups
are
challenging
it
in
federal
court
Not
surprisingly,
doesn
’
t
go
far
enough
“
The
federal
government
is
giving
responsibility
for
managing
the
bird
to
the
same
industries
that
are
pushing
it
to
extinction,
”
says biologist Jay Lininger.

That
everyone
’
s
too
busy
these
days
is
a
clich
é
.
But
one
specific
complaint
is
made
especially
mournfully
：
There
’
s never any time to
read.
What makes the problem thornier
is that the usual time-management techniques
don
’
t seem
sufficient. The
web
’
s full of articles
offering tips on making time to read:
“
Give up
TV
”
or
“
Carry a book with you at
all times
”
But in my
experience, using such methods to free up
the odd 30 minutes
doesn
’
t work. Sit down to
read and the flywheel of work-related thoughts
keeps
spinning-or
else
you
’
re
so
exhausted
that
a
challenging
book
’
s
the
last
thing
you
need.
The
modern mind, Tim Parks, a
novelist and
critic, writes,
“
is
overwhelmingly inclined toward
communication
?
It
is not simply that one is interrupted; it is that
one is actually inclined
to
interruption
”
. Deep reading
requires not just time, but a special kind of time
which can
’
t be obtained
merely by becoming more efficient.
In
fact,
“
becoming
more
efficient
”
is
part
of
the
problem.
Thinking
of
time
as
a
resource
to be
maximised means you approach it instrumentally,
judging any given moment as well spent
only
in
so
far
as
it
advances
progress
toward
some
goal
immersive
reading,
by
contrast,
depends
on
being
willing
to
risk
inefficiency,
goallessness,
even
time-wasting.
Try
to
slot
it
as
a
to-do
list item and
you
’
ll manage only goal-
focused reading-useful, sometimes, but not the

fulfilling
kind.
“
The future comes at
us like empty bottles along an unstoppable and
nearly
infinite conveyor
belt,
”
writes Gary Eberle in
his book Sacred Time, and
“
we feel a pressure
to fill these different-sized bottles
(days, hours, minutes)as they pass, for if they
get by
without
being
filled,
we
will
have
wasted
them
”
.
No
mind-set
could
be
worse
for
losing
yourself
in a book.
So
what
does
work?
Perhaps
surprisingly,
scheduling
regular
times
for
reading.
You
’
d
think
this might fuel the
efficiency mind-set, but in fact, Eberle notes,
such ritualistic behaviour
helps
us
“
step
outside
time
’
s
flow
”
into
“
soul
time
”
.
You
could
limit
distractions
by
reading
only
physical
books,
or
on
single-
purpose
e-readers.
“
Carry
a
book
with
you
at
all
times
”
can
actually
work,
too-providing
you
dip
in
often
enough,
so
that
reading
becomes
the
default
state
from which you temporarily surface to
take care of business, before dropping back down.
On a
really good day, it no longer
feels as if you
’
re
“
making time to
read,
”
but just reading,
and making time for everything else.
31. The usual time-management
techniques don
’
t work
because
[A] what they can offer does
not ease the modern mind
[B] what
challenging books demand is repetitive reading
[C] what people often forget is
carrying a book with them
[D] what deep
reading requires cannot be guaranteed
32. The
“
empty
bottles
”
metaphor
illustrates that people feel a pressure to
[A] update their to-do lists
[B] make passing time fulfilling
[C] carry their plans through
[D] pursue carefree reading
33. Eberle would agree that scheduling
regular times for reading helps
[A]
encourage the efficiency mind-set

develop online reading habits

promote ritualistic reading

Against
a
backdrop
of
drastic
changes
in
economy
and
population
structure,
younger
Americans
are drawing a new 21st-century road map
to success, a latest poll has found.
Across generational lines, Americans
continue to prize many of the same traditional
milestones
of
a
successful
life,
including
getting
married,
having
children,
owning
a
home,
and
retiring in their sixties. But while
young and old mostly agree on what constitutes the
finish
line of a fulfilling life, they
offer strikingly different paths for reaching it.
Young people who are still getting
started in life were more likely than older adults
to
prioritize personal fulfillment in
their work, to believe they will advance their
careers most
by regularly changing
jobs, to favor communities with more public
services and a faster pace
of life, to
agree that couples should be financially secure
before getting married or having
children,
and
to
maintain
that
children
are
best
served
by
two
parents
working
outside
the
home,
the survey found.
From
career to community and family, these contrasts
suggest that in the aftermath of the
searing
Great
Recession,
those
just
starting
out
in
life
are
defining
priorities
and
expectations
that will increasingly spread through
virtually all aspects of American life, from
consumer
preferences to housing
patterns to politics.

Young and old converge on
one key point: Overwhelming majorities of both
groups said they
believe it is harder
for young people today to get started in life than
it was for earlier
generations. While
younger people are somewhat more optimistic than
their elders about the
prospects
for
those
starting
out
today,
big
majorities
in
both
groups
believe
those
“
just
getting
started
in
life
”
face
a
tougher
a
good-paying
job,
starting
a
family,
managing
debt,
and
finding
affordable housing.
Pete
Schneider
considers
the
climb
tougher
today.
Schneider,
a
27-yaear-old
auto
technician
from the Chicago suburbs says he
struggled to find a job after graduating from
college. Even
now
that
he
is
working
steadily,
he
said.
”
I
can
’
t
afford
to
pay
ma
monthly
mortgage
payments
on
my
own,
so
I
have
to
rent
rooms
out
to
people
to
mark
that
happen.
”
Looking
back,
he
is
struck
that his parents
could provide a comfortable life for their
children even though neither had
completed
college
when
he
was
young.
“
I
still
grew
up
in
an
upper
middle-class
home
with
parents
who
didn
’
t
have
college
degrees,
”
Schneider
said.
“
I
don
’
t
think
people
are
capable
of
that
anymore.
”
36. One cross-generation mark of a
successful life is_____.
[A] trying out
different lifestyles
[B] having a
family with children
[C] working beyond
retirement age
[D] setting up a
profitable business
37. It can be
learned from Paragraph 3 that young people tend to
____.
[A] favor a slower life pace
[B] hold an occupation longer
[C] attach importance to pre-marital

[D] give priority to childcare

As adults,it seems that we are
constantly pursuing happiness,often with mixed
children appear to have it down to an
art-and for the most part they
don't
need self-help
books
or
d,they look after their wellbeing
instinctively,and usually more effectively
than we do as s it's time to learn a
few lessons from them.

What does a child do when he's sad? He
he's angry?He ?Probably a
bit
of
we
grow
up,we
learn
to
control
our
emotions
so
they
are
manageable
and
don't
dictate
our behaviours,which is in many ways a
good too often we take this process too far
and
end
up
suppressing
emotions,especially
negative
's
about
as
effective
as
brushing
dirt under a carpet
and can even make us we need to do is find a way
to acknowledge
and express what we feel
appropriately, and then-again like children-move.
42.____________
A couple of
Christmases ago, my youngest stepdaughter, who was
nine years old at the time,
got
a
Superman
T-shirt
for
Christmas.
It
cost
less
than
a
fiver
but
she
was
overjoyed,
and
couldn't
stop talking about
often we believe that a new job,bigger house or
better car will be
the
magic
silver
bullet
that
will
allow
us
to
finally
be
content,but
the
reality
is
these
things
have
very
little
lasting
impact
on
our
happiness
levels.
Instead,
being
grateful
for
small
things
every day is a much better way to
improve wellbeing.
43.______________________
Have
you
ever
noticed
how
much
children
laugh?
If
we
adults
could
indulge
in
a
bit
of
silliness
and giggling, we
would reduce the stress hormones in our bodies ,
increase good hormones like
endorphins,
improve blood flow to our hearts and even have a
greater chance of fighting off
enfection. All of which, of course,
have a positive effect on happiness levels.
44.__________________
The
problem with being a grown up is that there's an
awful lot of serious stuff to deal
with
---work,mortgage payments,figuring out what to
cook for dinner. But as adults we also have
the luxury of
being able to
control our own diaries and it's important that we
schedule in time
to enjoy the things we
things might be social,sporting,creative or
completely
random(dancing
aroud
the
living
room,anyone?)--it
doesn't
matter,so
long
as
they're
enjoyable,
and not likely to have negative side
effects,such as drinking too much alcohol or going
on a
wild spending spree if you're on a
tight budget.
45.___________________
Having said all of the above, it's
important to add that we shouldn't try too hard to
be
ists
tell
us
this
can
backfire
and
actually
have
a
negative
impact
on
our
wellbeing.

As the Chinese philosopher Chuang Tzu
is reported to have said:
striving
for
happiness.
in
that,once
more,we
need
to
look
to
the
example
of
our
children,to
whom happiness
is not a goal but a natural by product of the way
they live.

The
supermarket
is
designed
to
lure
customers
into
spending
as
much
time
as
possible
within
its
doors.
The
reason
for
this
is
simple:The
longer
you
stay
in
the
store,
the
more
stuff
you'll
see, and the more stuff you see, the
more you'll buy. And supermarkets contain a lot of
stuff.
The
average
supermarket,
according
to
the
Food
Marketing
Institute,
carries
some
44,00
different
items, and many carry tens of thousands
more. The sheer volume of available choice is
enough
to
send
shoppers
into
a
state
of
information
overload.
According
to
brain-scan
experiments,
the
demands of so much
decision-making quickly become too much for us.
After about 40 minutes of
shopping,
most people stop struggling to be rationally
selective, and instead begin shopping
emotionally
-
which
is
the
point
at
which
we
accumulate
the
50
percent
of
stuff
in
our
cart
that
we
never intended buying.
