tip for their work．But why is this？Shouldn't waiters get paid enough by their bosses？Well，many waiters and waitresses get paid below the US minimum wage （最低工资）and work for tips to make up for that．According to the American travel website TripAdvisor，some states pay their waiters and waitresses only $2.13 （about 14 yuan）per hour．While no one makes you tip，if you are at a sit﹣down restaurant，it is usually expected that you tip your waiter 15 to 20 percent of what your bill（账单）is．It's not just for waiters either．Hotel maids，hairdressers and taxi drivers also usuallywork for tips．But it is much more expected to tip waiters．The US hasn't always had this tipping culture．In fact，people were mostly against it until the Prohibition Era （禁酒令时代）in the 1920s．The government said no one could sell alcohol （酒）．Then，restaurants had trouble making enough money．So they started to ask people to tip their waiters．This tipping culture has lasted through the years，but most people don't like it．Some think restaurant bosses use it as an excuse to not pay their workers well．There isn't much action being taken to make a change yet．So for now，be sure to tip your waiter when in the US．61．What is the meaning of the under lined word "tip"？A．小费B．提示C．尖部D．垃圾62．If your bi11 is 100 a sit﹣down restaurant，you should tip your waiter．A.8B.12C.18D.2663．Why did restaurants start to ask people to tip their workers？A．Most people were against tipping others at that time．B．They had difficulties in making enough money．C．They didn't want to pay their workers we11．D．The government asked them to do so．64．Why do not most people like the tipping culture in the 1ast paragraph？A．They do not want to pay extra money．B．The waiters have got paid we1l．C．They think the boss won't pay their workers we11if they get tips．D．They are poor and have no much money to tip waiters．65．What's the main idea of the passage？A．The daily life of waiters and waitresses in the US．B．The history of Prohibition in the US．C．The different opinions on the tipping culture in the US．D．The introduction of the tipping culture in the US．35．（7.5分）Have you ever done housework？Most of us probably answer，"No，never．"Most of us think c1ean1ng the bathroom or cooking is boring．However，the fact is that someone has to do it．（66）（67）If we a11do some housework，it wil1seem less annoying（恼人的）．Why shou1d your mother have to wash your dirty dishes？Part of growing up is being able to take car of yourself．Please do little things！Some of us may think that we are so busy that we can't do housework．But most parents work al1day and are then expected to keep a clean house! （68 ）It seems much better to have three or more people together keep the house clean．（69 ）It can be very fun if you are creative．Learning how to cook a meal isa great ski11．If you learn how to cook your favorite foods，you will show othersthat you have a very special talent．Don't be afraid to help around the house，your parents wil1greatly like it．The next time you see something that needs to be done at home，do it yourself and show that you can do anything! （70）It helps you to understand the idea of

2017年广东惠州高三二模英语试卷-学生用卷一、阅读理解1、【来源】 2017年广东惠州高三二模（A篇）第21~23题6分2019~2020学年广东深圳南山区深圳市南头中学高一上学期期中第1~3题6分(每题2分) Are you looking forward to watching some great films in this summer？Here are four films you won't miss.Wonder WomanWonder Woman is this summer's most exciting film. Though being a superhero film, it is the most unique: you will see the first female superhero starred by Gal Gadot. On general release from 1 June.The MummyTom Cruise awakens an ancient princess who has now become a mummy. Cruise jumps from the sky, runs around a lot and wakes up naked in a sleeping bag – but it's Sofia Boutella as the Mummy who draws the most attention. Director Alex Kurtzman speaks highly of Sofia Boutella as the Mummy: "If you look at her eyes, there's a whole performance going on here. Even not saying anything, she can convey something very emotional to me." On general release from 8 June.Baby DriverAnsel Elgort is a getaway driver, who is forced to work for a crime boss. This is a comedy-action-romance from British writer-director Edgar Wright. The sound in the film is as great as the visuals, which makes it much like a musical, but it is quite different from La La Land. Baby Driver isn't just a series of song pieces. Instead, it finds its form in the elegant, rapid-fire combination of movement and sound. Released 28 June in Canada and the US.A Man Called OveThis film has become one of Sweden's most popular comedies. In the film a lonely retiree who has given up on life, was trying to kill himself, but all his attempts failed. Meanwhile, he developed an unlikely friendship with his Persian neighbor. It is really a tearjerker（赚人热泪的）film, which is funny, tragic, and heartwarming as well. Released 25 May in Hong Kong, 30 June in the UK.(1) If you are a big fan of Batman and Superman, which film will you like best?A. Wonder WomanB. The MummyC. Baby DriverD. A Man Called Ove(2) Alex Kurtzman speaks highly of Sofia Boutella because.A. her eyes are very beautifulB. she doesn't say anything as the mummy in the filmC. she gives an excellent performanceD. she is a woman with strong emotions(3) Which of the following statements is right according to the text?A.

Still, I was never bored. The fields, hills, and woodlands around my home were the perfect playground. I can remember once hiking to a nearby lake. At the backside of it I was amazed to find an old dirt road that I had never seen before. It was full of muddy tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides, but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure.I walked on and on for hours. I was sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ear "turn around and head back home" , but I was stubborn, so I walked on. There was still neither a car nor a house in sight.I noticed that the sun was starting to go down and I grew scared. I didn't want to end up trapped on this road, and I was worried that it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake again.I continued to walk on with TAL#NBSP something growing inside of me. My heart was pounding and my legs were aching. I was almost in tears when I turned one last curve and saw something in the distance. It was a house that I recognized. I jumped up and down and laughed out loud. It was still over a mile away but my legs felt like feathers and I hurried back to my house in no time. I walked in with a big smile on my face just in time for dinner.I remembered this recently when I saw a sign that said: "All roads lead home." It is true. In this life,all roads, no matter how they twist and turn, can lead us home again. What is important, though, is how we travel them. Are we going to go forth in fear or are we going to go forth in faith? Are we going to make this life a terrible trip or are we going to make this life a joyful journey? The choice is ours.(1) Why did the author hardly feel bored when he was young?A. Because he could have fun in nature.B. Because he could watch TV all day.C. Because he had many friends.D. Because he used to explore the old dirt road.(2) How did the author feel when he was exploring the dirt road?A. He thought he would be scolded by his parents.B. He felt contradictory in mind.C. He thought he would be trapped in the woods.D. He was unconscious.(3) What does "something"probably mean in paragraph 3?A. DoubtB. HopeC. CourageD. Fear(4) What does the author ainly intend to tell us?A. Always make choices on our own.B. All roads lead home.C. It's our attitude that matters in our life.D. Every effort is worthwhile.3、【来源】 2017年广东惠州高三二模（C篇）第28~31题8分In many ways, Providence Mount St. Vincent in Seattle is a typical senior living community. It is home to about 400 elderly residents and provides them with different types of assistance. However, it is also the Inter-generational Learning Center—a preschool where children and seniors have the chance to bond.Established in 1991, the ILC's purpose is to allow kids to learn about acceptance while also being nurtured. It also aims to help seniors develop a greater sense of self-worth and strengthen social interactions. Babies to prekindergarten-aged children are placed into six different classes at the ILC. The kids attend art and music classes, as well as story time and exercise time with the seniors. Marie Hoover,ILC director, said that interacting with the seniors has proven beneficial for the young ones, making them more open-minded."For the ILC children, interacting with the residents is simply part of their day-to-day life here and the way aging is 'normalized' , which may be the most important benefit they receive , " Hoover said. " I've had parents call me years after their children have graduated from our program to let me know about some incidents when their child was the first to warmly greet someone who happened to be in a wheelchair."As for the seniors, they're delighted by the companionship the children provide. The children bring so much energy and joy to our residents. Many of residents are widows or widowers and can become lonely. Their adult children may still be working, so they may not get to see them as often as they would like. Having the children stay with the old makes our residents feel they are still part of a community. The young and the old connect and learn from one another at TAL#NBSP this unique facility.(1) ILC is intended to.A. build a typical senior living communityB. take good care of the childrenC. benefit both the children and the seniorsD. rid the seniors of loneliness(2) From what Hoover said in Para. 3, we can learn that the ILC children.A. keep in touch with the seniors even if they have left ILCB. come to realize that aging is a normal part of lifeC. take different attitudes to the elderly after graduationD. think it easy to interact with the elderly residents in ILC(3) From what Hoover said in Para. 3, we can learn that the ILC children.A. keep in touch with the seniors even if they have left ILCB. come to realize that aging is a normal part of lifeC. take different attitudes to the elderly after graduationD. think it easy to interact with the elderly residents in ILC(4) The underlined words this unique facility may refer to.A. a special buildingB. a typical familyC. a typical teaching programD. a special learning cente4、【来源】 2017年广东惠州高三二模第32~35题8分DAre you content with the shape of your nose? If not, the climate may be to blame, not your parents.This is according to a recent study carried out by scientists from Pennsylvania State University, US. They found that climate played a key role in shaping our noses. The findings were based on an examination of the size and shape of noses of 476 people from four regions---West Africa, East Asia, South Asia and Northern Europe, using 3-D facial imaging technology."People have thought for a long time the difference in nose shape among humans across the world may have arisen as a result of natural selection because of climate," Arslan Zaidi, one of the lead authors of the study, told The Guardian. But while previous studies were based on measurements from human skulls, Zaidi and his team looked at nose shape itself.The result showed that wider noses are more common in warm and humid climates, while narrower noses are more common in cold and dry climates. That, Zaidi said, could be because narrower nasal passages help to increase the moisture（潮湿）content of air and warm it，which is easier on our lungs. This, in turn, led to a gradual decrease in nose width in populations living far away from the equator.More study is still needed to test the link between climate and nose shape, but Zaidi believes the current findings are valuable in understanding potential health issue. "As we become more of a global community, we are going to come across climates that we are not adapt to," he told the Guardian. This means moving to a very different climate might increase the risk of breathing problems.However, he added, "This may not be necessarily true for various reasons such as of modern medicine and the fact that our current climate is very different from what it used to be."(1) From the passage we know most people from Singapore have noses.A. widerB. narrowerC. smallerD. larger(2) Narrower noses are helpful to.A. cool the airB. warm the airC. take in more oxygenD. dry the air(3) What can be learned about the study?A. Zaidi's team measured human skull using 3-D technology.B. Shapes of our noses are determined by our parents.C. Nose shape helps people adapt to the environment.D. It's certain that people will suffer from more breathing problems.(4) Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. What factors shape noses?B. How to make your nose attractive?C. Nose shapes cause breathing problemsD. Climate shapes noses二、七选五5、【来源】 2017年广东惠州高三二模第36~40题10分2017~2018学年四川成都青羊区成都石室中学（文庙校区）高二下学期期中第36~40题10分(每题2分)By 2025, water shortage will be a big problem for about 1.8 billion people. In a world where water resource is increasingly short, nations cannot afford to waste it.1After we use water in our homes and businesses, it is washed away, and takes many valuable resources with it.Waste water is rich in carbon and nutrients. 2 A number of nations and major cities have already built waste water treatment plants. They can effectively recover nutrients and bioenergy, and produce "new water" that can be reused. But more than 80% of all waste water still currently flows into natural ecosystems, polluting the environment and taking valuable nutrients and other recoverable materials with it.3 This is still better than the situation in smaller cities. In Latin American countries, those living in small and medium-sized cities at most treat in the form of septic tanks（化粪池） that lack regular and proper maintenance.Imagine that outside one of these small cities lies a lovely piece of land: on the surface it is pleasingly built and provides habitats for local wildlife. Beneath the surface is a wetland that treats waste water and produces energy. The energy produced saves families from having to use firewood collected in the wild. This is not a dream project. 4 A team of scientists have been looking into the potential of constructed wetland environments. Having analyzed 800 examples of biomass in more than 20 countries, they found that, depending on climate and the type of plant used in the construction of this type of wetland, up to 45 hectares of land could be irrigated using waste water. 5A. But that is exactly what we do.B. This can provide ready access to clean water.C. There is no longer any good reason to waste any type of water.D. A "constructed wetland environment" is already in practice on a small scale .E. This would reduce the need for fresh water for irrigation and energy for pumping.F. If collected and treated properly, it could provide new water, fertilizer, and energy.G. Although waste-water systems in large cities are effective , the whole procedure usually costs much.三、完形填空6、【来源】 2017年广东惠州高三二模第41~60题30分2017年广东惠州高三二模第41~60题30分As older students at your school, do you sometimes feel a kind of responsibility?

Note that there are two more sentences than you need.The Tutorial System of Oxford UniversityIn the University of Oxford, teaching is conducted primarily through the tutorial system. It is one of the most unique and well-known methods of teaching across the world.The weekly tutorial consists of a one-hour meeting between the tutor and small numbers of students (usually two to four). During this time, an essay prepared specifically for that tutorial is read by students and commented upon by the tutor. At the end of the tutorial, the tutor will assign the topic of study for the coming week and suggest readings. 67Meanwhile, they are also complemented by departmental lectures which are conducted on a university wide basis, lab work, and seminars (研讨会) often with groups of perhaps 10 students.Tutorials have gained their reputation because of the close relationship they maintain between the tutor and the student. The tutorial system provides undergraduates with direct and in most cases weekly contact with tutors in their academic fields.68.Before the weekly tutorial, students are required to prepare an essay or other works, which they read or present to the tutor. During each tutorial, students are expected to communicate, debate, analyze and critique the ideas of others as well as their own in conversations with the professor and fellow-students. The tutorial system has great value that it creates learning andassessment opportunities which are highly authentic(可靠的) and difficult to fake, as the student’s work is discus sed on the spot.69The contrast between tutorials and large lectures common in the American universities is obvious. In the typical American university, students are taught by the same specialists, in the same manner, and held to the same standards.However, during tutorials, students have the opportunity to explore their own ideas directly with experts in particular subjects. 70As a result, students must engage in extensive independent reading and research, using the resources available, under the guidance of the tutor.Keys: 67-70 BFACSection CDirections:Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Talking to yourself may seem a little shameful. If you’ve ever been overheard criticizing yourself for a foolish mistake or practicing a tricky speech ahead of time, you’ll have felt the social restriction against communicating with yourself in words. According to the well-known saying, talking to yourself is the first sign of madness.67 Talking to ourselves, whether out loud or silently in our heads, is a valuable tool for thought. Far from being a sign of foolishness, self-talk allows us to plan what we are going to do, manage our activities, regulate our emotions and even create a narrative of our experience.Take a trip to any preschool and watch a small child playing with her toys. You are very likely to hear her talking to herself: offering herself directions and giving voic e to her frustrations. __68 We do a lot of it when we are young – perhaps one reason for our shyness about continuing with it as adults.As children, according to the Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky, we use private speech to regulate our actions in the same way that we use public speech to control the behavior of others. __69__.Psychological experiments have shown that the distancing effect of our words can give us a valuable perspective on our actions. One recent study suggested that self-talk is most effective when we address ourselves in the second person: as ―you‖ rather than ―I‖.We internalize the private speech we use as children –but we never entirely put away the out-loud version. 70 You’re sure to see an athlete or two getting themselves ready for a sharp phrase or scolding themselves after a bad shot.Both kinds of self-talk seem to bring a range of benefits to our thinking. Those words to the self, spoken silently or aloud, are so much more than lazy talk.Keys:67-70 AFCBSectionCDirections:Read the following passage and choose the most suitable statement from A-F for each Blank. There are two extra statements, which you do not need.Charity—Humanity’s most kind and generous desire—is a timeless and borderless virtue, dating at least to the dawn of religious teaching. Philanthropy（慈善行为）as we understand it today, however, is a distinctly American phenomenon, inseparable from the nation that shaped it. From colonial leaders to modern billionaires like Buffett, Gates and Zuckerberg, the tradition of giving is woven into the national DNA.___67_____ Benjamin Franklin, an icon of individual industry and frugality（节俭）even in his own day, understood that with the privilege of doing well came the price of doing good. When he died in 1790, Franklin thought to future generations, leaving in trust two gifts of 1,000 Ib. of sterling silver—one to the city of Boston, the other to Philadelphia. According to his instruction, a portion of the money could not be used for 200 years.While Franklin’s gifts lay in wait, the tradition he established evolved alongside the young nation.___68_____ Often far less famed men and women have played a critical role in philanthropy’s evolution. One of my personal heroes is Julius Rosenwald, who helped construct more than 5,300 schools across the segregated（种族隔离）South and opened classroom doors to a generation of African-American students.____69____ The answer is not just to benefit others. Tax reduction, for one, encourages the rich people to give. And philanthropy has long helped improve the public image of everyone from immoral capitalists to the new tech elite. More troubling, however, are the foundational problems that make philanthropy so necessary. Just before his death, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wrote, ―Philanthropy is praise-worthy, but it must not cause the philanthropist to overlook the cir cumstances of economic injustice which make philanthropy necessary.‖Franklin’s gifts represent a broader principle. We are guardians of a public trust, even if our capital came from private enterprise, and our most important obligation is ensuring that the system works more equally and more justly for more people. ___70_____ America’s greatest strength isnot the fact of perfection, but rather the act of perfecting.Keys:67-70 FEABSection CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below.

For centuries, scientists and natural philosophers have proposed that stars in the night sky have planetary systems similar to our own solar system. The existence of extrasolar planets, or exoplanets, has long been discussed. ___67___ Although not the first exoplanet discovery, a planet near a sun-like star was discovered by astronomers in 1995. This kicked off an era of exoplanet hunting, with thousands of discoveries and confirmations following in its wake.___68___ However, in 2015 NASA’s Kepler space telescope found its first E arth-sized planet in a ―habitable‖zone. This is the distance form a star where surface temperatures of a planet wouldn’t be too hot or too cold for liquid water. So far, only a small slice of our galaxy, the Milky Way, has been explored. Even so, scientists have confirmed over 3,500 exoplanets, with more being added every day.To detect exoplanets, scientists use data from a variety of sources. Large ground-based telescopes, earth-circling and sun-circling satellites all collect different types of information. Because exoplanets are so far away and very close to stars, it is very difficult to see them directly. ___69___ For example, when an exoplanet moves between its star and us, it causes a small drop in the star’s brightness. Measuring this drop is the transit（凌日）method of discovery. NASA’S Kepler space telescope has discovered many exoplanets this way.As a planet circles a star, it pulls on it and causes it to shake. ___70___ Measuring these slight changes is the radial velocity（径向速度）method of discovering planets. It is one of the most productive methods for finding and confirming exoplanets.These are just two examples of the many methods scientists use in their hunt for exoplanets, hoping for more information and enhanced detail. As time progresses and technology improves, who knows what else we may find!Keys:67-70EBACSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.

But one day, he’ll n eed to learn something about finance. When he does, here are some suggestions.1. You might think you want an expensive car, a fancy watch, and a huge house. But you don’t.______67______ You think having expensive stuff will bring it. It almost never does—especially from the people you want to respect and admire you.2. The road to financial regret is paved with debt. Some debt, such as a mortgage, is OK. But most spending that results in debt is the equivalent of a drug: a quick hit of pleasure that wears off, only to drag you down for years to come, limiting your options and keeping you weighed down by the baggage of your past.3. I hope you’re poor at some point. Not struggling, and not unhappy, of course. But there’s no way to learn the value of money without feeling the power of its scarcity. It teaches you the difference between necessary and desirable. _____68_____ These are essential survival skills.4. If you’re like most people, you’ll spend most of your adult life thinking, ―Once I’ve saved/earned $X, everything will be great.‖ Then you’ll hit $X, move the goalposts, and resume chasing your tail. It’s a miserable cycle. Your goals should be about more than money.5. Don’t stay in a job you hate because you made a career choice at 18. Almost no one knows what he or she wants to do at that age. Many people don’t know what they want until they’re twice that age. (These are the signs you’re in the wrong career.)6. The best thing money buys is to control over your time. _____69_______ One day you’ll realize that this freedom is one of the things that makes you truly happy.7. Change your mind when you need to. I’ve noticed a tendency for people to think they’ve mastered investing when they’re young. They start investing at age 18 and t hink they have it all figured out by age 19. They never do.8. Some people are born into families that encourage education; others are from families that are against it. Some are born into flourishing economies; others, into war and poverty. I want you to be successful, and I want you to earn it. But realize that not all success is due to hard work and not all poverty is due to laziness. Keep this in mind when judging people, including yourself.9. Your savings rate has a little to do with how much you earn and a lot to do with how much you spend. I know a dentist who lives paycheck to paycheck, always on the edge of ruin. I know another person who never earned more than $50,000 and saved a fortune. The difference is entirely due to their spending. ______70_______.10. Don’t listen to me if you disagree with what I’ve written. The world you grow up in will have different values and opportunities than the one I did. More important, you’ll learn best when you disagree with someone and then are forced to learn it yourself. (On the other hand, always listen to your mother.)Keys:67-70FACDSection CDirections: Read the following passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.

You do not have to be qualified for these positions today, nor do they have to exist in your company. However, these roles should be related to your current skill set. They are career options that look interesting. 68 Pay close attention to what appeals to you, and write it down. This will give insight into your motivations and targets.Subscribe to a career specific magazine. Knowledge is power in the workplace. Allbusinesses must stay relevant to their customers in order to win the competitions and increase revenue(收益). Reading about industry trends, advancements and success stories keeps you in touch with market conditions. This information allows you to see which companies and professionals are leading the pack. You can follow their examples in your own workplace.69Do exceptional work. In any role, there is a way to perform at your best. Look for ways to deliver a top performance. Show up early, be flexible to new assignments, have a positive attitude, cooperate with other departments, pay attention to the little details.Be professionally curious. Talk to people about their careers. Learn more about how success is measured in other roles, departments and companies. Ask people their thoughts on different industries. 70 People hire people. You never know what connections may be relevant when you start your next job search, so develop a habit of making good connections no matter where you go. Take the time to learn about others, and be helpful when you can.As in all things in life, getting in front of a difficult task early is always less stressful than reacting to a career surprise. Changing jobs is to be expected. No matter how secure you feel today, the time will come when either you or your employer decide it is time to change.Keys: 67-70 FDABSection CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.An 18-year-girl Kayla Perkins explains what is in her bedroom, ―I throw something on the floor and I know right where it is.‖ However, her parents, Steve and Deborah Perkins, of Mckinney, Texas, haven’t caught on. Even Kayla admits that, at the worst, her room is a mess.Most families at some point have at least one child whose room looks like a landfill.67Dirty clothes pile up; dirty dishes get lost in the mess and smell bad; homework is lost; and valuable things are ruined.Some parents let it go, believing that a bedroom is private space for children to manage as they wish. Others lecture their children, offer rewards for cleaning, or punish them when they don’t. ___ 68____Mrs. Perkins says they picked up all the clothes on Kayla’s floor and hid them. They cleaned everything up. When Kayla came back to a bare bedroom, there was screaming and shouting, ―How can I live without my clothes?‖ Mrs. Perkins asked Kayla to earn her clothes back by doing housework. These days, she keeps her room clean.69 For example, since Jessica, the 14-year-old daughter wasn’t bothered by the dirty clothes all over her floor, the whole family started using her room as a place to store dirty clothes. Her attitude changed after her family did that. By the time she gave in and cleaned up her room a few days later, even she was laughing.70 Children often behave better if you treat them in the way you would want to be treated by your boss at work—with respect and high expectations.Keys: 67-70 BFDESection CDirections: Read the following passage.

The advertising industry will have to work ―harder and smarter‖ to cut through the ―mess‖ of the future with a wide range of new media, all competing to catch the consumers’ eyes.People have become more individual in their consumption of advertising. New technology has made experimenting with new forms of advertising possible. The monologue where the advertisement tells housewives that this is the washing powder they should buy is just a cliché (陈词滥调) now. ______68______ There is, consequently, little hope of them surviving for more than another twenty years. A much closer relationship with the consumer is gradually being created.The definition of what constitutes advertising will expand well beyond the conventional mass media. Shopping environments will themselves become a part of the advertising process. Increasingly, they will exist not simply to sell goods, but also to entertain people and to make sure that they enjoy their time there. The aim will be to ―warm‖ people towards these places so that they will return to purchase goods there again.In spite of these and other changes, it is highly unlikely that TV, print and radio will disappear altogether as advertising media. ______69______ But other marketing strategies, such as public relations and direct marketing, will become as important as advertising. Advertising agencies will have to reinvent themselves. They will no longer be able simply to produce advertisements and then support these through PR, direct marketing or the internet. Instead, they will have to change the whole way they look at communication and start thinking about ideaswhich are not specific to one discipline.______70______ Originality of thinking has always been in short supply. It will continue to be so in the future. But there will be increasing coston the advertiser’s ability to be imaginative and to think laterally about engaging the consumer in a broader variety of media.Keys: 67-70FCEASection CDirections: Read the following passage.

Drawing on what he learned, Porios was able to participate in the International Space Apps Challenge, a virtual hackathon (编程马拉松) using data from NASA and other government agencies.If one teenager in one small city can become a genius hacker through an online course, does it mean the world has changed? We have been hearing about the potential of online education fordecades.68. A number of online education platforms have appeared, featuring professors from top universities offering free courses.69. Ng was amazed. ―It would take me 250 years to teach this many people at Stanford,‖ he says. And so, just one month into the course, Ng and his Stanford colleague, Daphne Koller, decided to leave their faculty posts (教职) and dive into online teaching full-time. In April, they launched their company, Coursera, with a $16 million round of venture funding. So far, it has managed to team up with 35 colleges in nine countries.To Ng and Koller, Coursera’s mission is simple and yet grand. That is to teach millions of people around the world for free, while also transforming higher education.According to Ng, the world’s top 20 universities en roll only about 200,000 students. There are million more who could participate in classwork at the higher level, but most of them are far from any of the leading universities. 70 .Koller says Coursera’s total registration has hit 15 million. Porios, the young Greek, is only one of those registrants. His hope is to study in Germany or England someday. He is even toying with the idea of taking classes at MIT or Stanford — but this time in person.Keys:67-70 CAFESection CDirections: Read the following passage.

Wilson：―Conversation is the most common of all human social activities, and doing it well requires that we know what our conversation partners most want to hear.___67___‖says psychological scientist Daniel T, Gilbert of Harvard University.―When our friends try to tell us about movies we’ve never seen or albums we’ve never heard, we usually find ourselves bored, confus ed, and underwhelmed. ___68___. And yet, as soon as it’sour turn to speak, we do exactly the same thing to our friends –with exactly the same consequences. We wanted to understand why this happens.‖Gilbert explains. The researchers decided to do this by conducting a series of experiments.In their first experiment, the researchers assigned participants to groups of three, with one person acting as the speaker and the other two acting as listeners. Speakers watched a video and then tried do describe it to the listeners. Some of the listeners had seen the video the speaker was describing, and others had not.___69___. When the speakers were done speaking, the listeners rated them on these aspects. The results showed that speakers’ predictions were exactly b ackwards. Speakers expected listeners to respond more positively to their stories when the listeners had not seen the video they were describing ___70___. Although speakers expected listeners to enjoy hearing about a novel experience more than a familiar one, it was actually the other way around.A second study showed that when asked to predict their own reactions before hearing the story, listeners made the same mistake that speakers did.Keys: 67--70 DEAF。
