Hockerill’s Suggestion
Caught between the rising cost of university tuition in England and the falling percentage of applicants offered places, one British school is giving its students some surprising advice.
By any measure HockerilI is one of the most successful schools in Britain. Named last month as one of the government’s flagship academies, its students regularly come at or near the top of exam results for the entire country, outperforming such famous names as Eton or Harrow. But unlike those private schools, where fees can exceed £28, 000 or £45, 000 a year, Hockerill, in the Hertfordshire town, is a state comprehensive, which charges no tuition fees and is forbidden from selecting its students on the basis of academic ability. And while a third of Hockerill’s 830 students are boarders, they are chosen on the basis of need rather than ability to pay.
So when the school’s principal heard of government plans to raise university tuition fees in England to £9, 000 a year, he decided to make use of the school’s international focus. urging his students to apply to universities abroad and hiring a counselor(顧問(wèn)) to help the students who want to apply to universities in countries whose fees are cheaper. “If you can get into a university in France and pay about £180 a year for an education at one of the best institutions in the world, why would you pay £9, 000 a year in Britain?” the principal asked.
Pupils at Hockerill are offered a choice of seven foreign languages:French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese or Mandarin. History and geography classes are taught exclusively in French or German. But with English rapidly becoming the international language of education, even less linguistically flexible students soon find that going abroad can save them money while enhancing the quality of their education.
“Our students can get to Maastricht in Holland by train more quickly than they can get to Lees from London,” the principal said. Just over the border from Germany and Belgium, Maastricht University offers a highly regarded undergraduate program taught in English. Tuition fees are about £1, 430, a year. Germany and France offer even greater savings.
59. What is Hockerill’s suggestion to its students?
A. Learning foreign languages.
B. Picking courses on their basic needs.
C. Applying for less famous universities.
D. Receiving further education outside of UK.
60. We can learn from the passage that Hockerill __________.
A. admits students based on their academic performance
B. provides dormitories to the students in need
C. collects less money than private schools
D. hires counselors for every student
61. What’s Hockerill’s principle’s attitude towards government’s tuition plan?
A. Neutral. B. Supportive. C. Indifferent. D. Negative.
62. Students choosing Maastricht in Holland will benefit from the followings EXCEPT
A. education quality
B. convenient location
C. flexible program plans
D. lessons taught in English
C
“Oh, my God! Did I really just send that text?” Most people have said something that they wish they could take back. And if they had paused to think about it first, they probably would have acted differently. Pausing doesn’t pay off just when you speak. Scientific studies have shown that making a habit of pausing before you do something can actually have a big impact on how your life turns out.
In making decisions we rely on two areas of the brain. One area creates and processes emotions;the other governs logical thought. The type of decision, how we feel about it, and how prepared we are to handle it help determine which brain area has the most influence.
But our age also plays an important role. Thinking through the consequences of one’s actions is actually harder for teens because the area controlling logical thought is not fully developed until around age 25. This is why teens often feel an intense emotional drive to act impulsively—it’s how their brains are structured! Though this tendency to act without considering the outcomes can lead to problematic situations, impulsivity during the developmental years evolves because it makes teens more open to new experiences and ideas. This openness helps teens become independent adults.
The key to making impulsivity work for you—instead of against you—is to train your brain by practicing pausing. This doesn’t mean you stop taking risks or being open to new experiences. But you won’t know if the risk is worth it until you think it through. Deciding to take a risk based on logic shows self-control, not impulsivity.
What are different ways to pause? You might take a deep breath, count to 10, or ask, “Is this worth it?” Different strategies work for different people. Whatever works for you, keep doing it! By practicing pausing, you can actually change your brain. This means that over time, pausing, instead of immediately reacting, becomes your “natural” response. And with this change, people are on their way to enjoying the life rewards that come with high levels of self-control—even if they weren’t natural—born pausers!
63. What challenges teenagers?
A. Giving natural response.
B. Making logical decision.
C. Acting before thorough thinking.
D. Choosing brain-training strategies.
64. An impulsive person tends to __________.
A. think through a risk in advance
B. show high level of self-control
C. consider or accept new ideas
D. change ideas frequently
65. According to the passage, by training one’s brain, one can __________.
A. stop taking risks
B. fully develop one’s brain
C. become more open to new experience
D. reduce the influence of emotional drive
66. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Discover the Brain Function
B. Crying Over the Spilt Milk
C. Push the Pause Button
D. Impulsivity Works
D
Fencing or Not
Wildlife fences are constructed for a variety of reasons including to prevent the spread of diseases, to protect wildlife from poachers(偷獵者), and to help manage small populations of threatened species. Human-wildlife conflict is another common reason for building fences. Wildlife can damage valuable farm animals and crops. Some species carry diseases of agricultural concern, and a few threaten human lives. At the same time, people kill wild animals for food, trade, or to defend lives or property, and human activities destroy wildlife habitat(棲息地). Separating people and wildlife by fencing can appear to be a mutually beneficial way to avoid such harmful effects. But in a paper in the journal Science, published recently, some scientists argue that fencing should only be used if worse comes to worst.
According to the scientists, although fencing can have conservation benefits, it also has costs. When areas of wildlife habitat are changed into islands, the resulting small and isolated populations tend towards extinction, and the resulting loss of larger-bodied species can affect interactions between species in ways that cause further local extinctions. Therefore, scientists are asking that conservationists carefully weigh up the biodiversity costs and benefits of new and existing fences.
In addition to fences’ ecosystem-wide impact, the scientists don’t think they always achieve their specific aims. Construction of fences to reduce human-wildlife conflict has been successful in some places but the challenges of appropriate fence design, location, construction, and protection mean that fences often fail to deliver the anticipated benefits. In some places, fences also provide poachers with a ready supply of wire for making traps.
A variety of alternative approaches, including better caring for farm animals, community-based crop-guarding, insurance and wildlife-sensitive land-use planning are suggested to reduce conflicts between people and wildlife without the need for fencing. Some projects working with local people and government agencies in Indonesia have shown that human-elephant conflict can be dramatically reduced without using fences.
The scientists conclude that as climate change increases the importance of facilitating wildlife mobility and conserving landscape connectivity, fence removal may become an important form of climate change preparation, and so fencing of wildlife should be avoided whenever possible.
67. What does the underlined word “mutually” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Indeed. B. Outdoors. C. Straight. D. Both.
68. According to the scientists, what will fencing influence?
A. Land building.
B. Species diversity.
C. Human population.
D. Wildlife’s body size.
69. What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 4?
A. Replacements for fences.
B. Wildlife-protection methods.
C. Effective land-use approaches.
D. Conflicts between human and wildlife
70. The main purpose of the passage is to __________.
A. argue and prove
B. inform and explain
C. appeal and discuss
D. compare and assess

三、Possible version
Dear Ms White,
My name is Li Hua. I’m writing to you about a purple purse I picked up this afternoon. I happened to find it lying in a corner on the west end of the Jinbao Street. Besides your name card, I found a passport and a credit card in it, both of which have your name on them. So you must be the owner of the purse. I telephoned you at the number on your name card, but couldn’t get through. I know you must be very worried at the moment and hope you can see my e-mail right now and contact me immediately.
I’ll be waiting for your reply, or you can telephone me. My telephone number is 13801672389.
Yours,
Li Hua

四、One possible version
I borrowed a book from the library the other day and took the book home. One evening, having finished supper, I went back to my room and started to read the book I had borrowed. I was so absorbed that I knocked the coffee cup over by accident, pouring the coffee onto the book. Wet through and coloured brown, the book turned out to be a mess. Of course, I couldn’t return the dirty book and the loss should be covered. The next day, I went to the bookstore, where I finally find the same copies of the book and bought one. When I returned the new book and explained the reason, the librarian accepted the book and praised me for my honesty and responsibility.

M:This is Jim Johnson with Travel Talk. It’s summer and it’s vacation time. For some people this means long hours in the car and on the highway. Here are some tips to help you stay safe while on the road. First, the Do’s. If you’re travelling with more than one driver, try to switch drivers occasionally so that you don’t spend too much time behind the wheel. Remember to stop frequently and take a break. Make sure you know the signs of sleepiness:missing road signs, difficult focusing, and yawning. Now the Don’ts. Don’t count on the radio or an opened window to keep you awake. And even though a cup of coffee might give you a lift, remember that its effects will wear off after a short time. Finally, don’t drive between midnight and morning. Tune in again tomorrow and we’ll talk about vacation destinations that both adults and children will enjoy.

Ever since its opening, “Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party” has been the center of attraction for thousands of Disney vacationers during Halloween in Orlando.

Hockerill’s Suggestion
Caught between the rising cost of university tuition in England and the falling percentage of applicants offered places, one British school is giving its students some surprising advice.
By any measure HockerilI is one of the most successful schools in Britain. Named last month as one of the government’s flagship academies, its students regularly come at or near the top of exam results for the entire country, outperforming such famous names as Eton or Harrow. But unlike those private schools, where fees can exceed £28, 000 or £45, 000 a year, Hockerill, in the Hertfordshire town, is a state comprehensive, which charges no tuition fees and is forbidden from selecting its students on the basis of academic ability. And while a third of Hockerill’s 830 students are boarders, they are chosen on the basis of need rather than ability to pay.
So when the school’s principal heard of government plans to raise university tuition fees in England to £9, 000 a year, he decided to make use of the school’s international focus. urging his students to apply to universities abroad and hiring a counselor(顧問(wèn)) to help the students who want to apply to universities in countries whose fees are cheaper. “If you can get into a university in France and pay about £180 a year for an education at one of the best institutions in the world, why would you pay £9, 000 a year in Britain?” the principal asked.
Pupils at Hockerill are offered a choice of seven foreign languages:French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese or Mandarin. History and geography classes are taught exclusively in French or German. But with English rapidly becoming the international language of education, even less linguistically flexible students soon find that going abroad can save them money while enhancing the quality of their education.
“Our students can get to Maastricht in Holland by train more quickly than they can get to Lees from London,” the principal said. Just over the border from Germany and Belgium, Maastricht University offers a highly regarded undergraduate program taught in English. Tuition fees are about £1, 430, a year. Germany and France offer even greater savings.
59. What is Hockerill’s suggestion to its students?
A. Learning foreign languages.
B. Picking courses on their basic needs.
C. Applying for less famous universities.
D. Receiving further education outside of UK.
60. We can learn from the passage that Hockerill __________.
A. admits students based on their academic performance
B. provides dormitories to the students in need
C. collects less money than private schools
D. hires counselors for every student
61. What’s Hockerill’s principle’s attitude towards government’s tuition plan?
A. Neutral. B. Supportive. C. Indifferent. D. Negative.
62. Students choosing Maastricht in Holland will benefit from the followings EXCEPT
A. education quality
B. convenient location
C. flexible program plans
D. lessons taught in English
C
“Oh, my God! Did I really just send that text?” Most people have said something that they wish they could take back. And if they had paused to think about it first, they probably would have acted differently. Pausing doesn’t pay off just when you speak. Scientific studies have shown that making a habit of pausing before you do something can actually have a big impact on how your life turns out.
In making decisions we rely on two areas of the brain. One area creates and processes emotions;the other governs logical thought. The type of decision, how we feel about it, and how prepared we are to handle it help determine which brain area has the most influence.
But our age also plays an important role. Thinking through the consequences of one’s actions is actually harder for teens because the area controlling logical thought is not fully developed until around age 25. This is why teens often feel an intense emotional drive to act impulsively—it’s how their brains are structured! Though this tendency to act without considering the outcomes can lead to problematic situations, impulsivity during the developmental years evolves because it makes teens more open to new experiences and ideas. This openness helps teens become independent adults.
The key to making impulsivity work for you—instead of against you—is to train your brain by practicing pausing. This doesn’t mean you stop taking risks or being open to new experiences. But you won’t know if the risk is worth it until you think it through. Deciding to take a risk based on logic shows self-control, not impulsivity.
What are different ways to pause? You might take a deep breath, count to 10, or ask, “Is this worth it?” Different strategies work for different people. Whatever works for you, keep doing it! By practicing pausing, you can actually change your brain. This means that over time, pausing, instead of immediately reacting, becomes your “natural” response. And with this change, people are on their way to enjoying the life rewards that come with high levels of self-control—even if they weren’t natural—born pausers!

Fencing or Not
Wildlife fences are constructed for a variety of reasons including to prevent the spread of diseases, to protect wildlife from poachers(偷獵者), and to help manage small populations of threatened species. Human-wildlife conflict is another common reason for building fences. Wildlife can damage valuable farm animals and crops. Some species carry diseases of agricultural concern, and a few threaten human lives. At the same time, people kill wild animals for food, trade, or to defend lives or property, and human activities destroy wildlife habitat(棲息地). Separating people and wildlife by fencing can appear to be a mutually beneficial way to avoid such harmful effects. But in a paper in the journal Science, published recently, some scientists argue that fencing should only be used if worse comes to worst.
According to the scientists, although fencing can have conservation benefits, it also has costs. When areas of wildlife habitat are changed into islands, the resulting small and isolated populations tend towards extinction, and the resulting loss of larger-bodied species can affect interactions between species in ways that cause further local extinctions. Therefore, scientists are asking that conservationists carefully weigh up the biodiversity costs and benefits of new and existing fences.
In addition to fences’ ecosystem-wide impact, the scientists don’t think they always achieve their specific aims. Construction of fences to reduce human-wildlife conflict has been successful in some places but the challenges of appropriate fence design, location, construction, and protection mean that fences often fail to deliver the anticipated benefits. In some places, fences also provide poachers with a ready supply of wire for making traps.
A variety of alternative approaches, including better caring for farm animals, community-based crop-guarding, insurance and wildlife-sensitive land-use planning are suggested to reduce conflicts between people and wildlife without the need for fencing. Some projects working with local people and government agencies in Indonesia have shown that human-elephant conflict can be dramatically reduced without using fences.
The scientists conclude that as climate change increases the importance of facilitating wildlife mobility and conserving landscape connectivity, fence removal may become an important form of climate change preparation, and so fencing of wildlife should be avoided whenever possible.
67. What does the underlined word “mutually” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Indeed. B. Outdoors. C. Straight. D. Both.
68. According to the scientists, what will fencing influence?
A. Land building.
B. Species diversity.
C. Human population.
D. Wildlife’s body size.
69. What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 4?
A. Replacements for fences.
B. Wildlife-protection methods.
C. Effective land-use approaches.
D. Conflicts between human and wildlife
70. The main purpose of the passage is to __________.
A. argue and prove
B. inform and explain
C. appeal and discuss
D. compare and assess

Dear Ms White,
My name is Li Hua. I’m writing to you about a purple purse I picked up this afternoon. I happened to find it lying in a corner on the west end of the Jinbao Street. Besides your name card, I found a passport and a credit card in it, both of which have your name on them. So you must be the owner of the purse. I telephoned you at the number on your name card, but couldn’t get through. I know you must be very worried at the moment and hope you can see my e-mail right now and contact me immediately.

四、One possible version
I borrowed a book from the library the other day and took the book home. One evening, having finished supper, I went back to my room and started to read the book I had borrowed. I was so absorbed that I knocked the coffee cup over by accident, pouring the coffee onto the book. Wet through and coloured brown, the book turned out to be a mess. Of course, I couldn’t return the dirty book and the loss should be covered. The next day, I went to the bookstore, where I finally find the same copies of the book and bought one. When I returned the new book and explained the reason, the librarian accepted the book and praised me for my honesty and responsibility.

M:This is Jim Johnson with Travel Talk. It’s summer and it’s vacation time. For some people this means long hours in the car and on the highway. Here are some tips to help you stay safe while on the road. First, the Do’s. If you’re travelling with more than one driver, try to switch drivers occasionally so that you don’t spend too much time behind the wheel. Remember to stop frequently and take a break. Make sure you know the signs of sleepiness:missing road signs, difficult focusing, and yawning. Now the Don’ts. Don’t count on the radio or an opened window to keep you awake. And even though a cup of coffee might give you a lift, remember that its effects will wear off after a short time. Finally, don’t drive between midnight and morning. Tune in again tomorrow and we’ll talk about vacation destinations that both adults and children will enjoy.
