21、Chinese colleges have come up with an unusual way to help freshmen settle in. They turn their gyms into campsites for moms and dads, some of whom have traveled thousands of miles across the country, to say goodbye.

For the past five years, Tianjin University in northern China has provided free accommodation for parents in what it calls "tents of love". Other schools let parents sleep on mats in school gymnasiums.

"Going to college is a life moment and my parents didn’t want to miss that," said Zhang Jinqi, a freshman at Tianjin University majoring in applied chemistry. His parents traveled with him on the 19-hour train journey from Jiangxi Province in southern China.

Images of school gyms packed with parents have been widely shared on Chinese social media prompting a debate on whether China’s only children are too coddled.

Some have voiced criticism of Tianjin University, saying that they think both the parents and the children should be more independent.

Xiong Bingqi, the deputy director of think-tank 21st Century Education Research Institute，thinks the problem is overstated. "It has always been a problem in China that at the start of every school year, colleges are packed with parents who come along to drop off their children and stay with them," he said. "For some families, it’s their way to celebrate the first-ever family member who’s able to go to college," Xiong added. "There’s nothing wrong with sharing the happiness."

Zhang’s father said the decision to escort their son was a no-brainer. He and his wife are among the many "campers" who sleep in the 550 temporary tents set up in the Tianjin University gym.

"My child has lots of luggage and we also want to go traveling," said his father Zhang Yonghui. "The hotels nearby are fully booked so I have to sleep in the tents."

Their son also shrugged off the criticism although he said he was looking forward to living on his own for the first time. "Being accompanied by my parents doesn’t mean I’m spoiled."

【1】Zhang Jinqi thought his parents accompanied him to his university mainly because _____.

A. they wanted to help him with his luggage

B. they wanted to go to travel in Tianjin

C. they doubted his independence

D. they wanted to witness his important life moment

【2】Xiong Bingqi thinks going to college with parents’ company ______.

A. is a chance for freshmen to travel with their parents

B. is not such a serious problem as people think

C. is a long-lasting problem to be solved

D. is not good for the freshmen to build up their independence

【3】The underlined phrase “shrugged off” probably means_________.

A. was in favor of   B. was ashamed of

C. thought nothing of   D. was concerned about

【4】What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. “Tents of love” is widely criticized.

B. Chinese only children are too spoiled.

C. Chinese college education is faced with a big challenge.

D. There are different opinions on “tents of love”.

22、   Look around on your next plane trip. Younger school-aged children read stories on smartphones; older boys don't read at all, but play video games. Parents and other passengers read on Kindles or skim emails and news feeds. An invisible transformation links everyone in this picture: the neuronal circuit(神经元回路）that underlies the brain’s ability to read is changing—a change with implications for everyone from the pre-reading kids to the expert adult.

As work in neurosciences indicates, the ability to read necessitated a new circuit in our species’ brain more than 6.000 years ago. That circuit evolved from a very simple mechanism (机能)for decoding basic information, like the number of goats, to the present, complicated reading brain. My research describes how the present reading brain enables the development of some of our most important intellectual and affective processes: internalized knowledge, reasoning, and inference; perspective-taking and empathy (共鸣): critical analysis and the generation of insight. Research conducted in many parts of the world now warns that each of these essential “deep reading” processes may be under threat as we move into digital-based reading.

This is not a simple issue of print VS digital reading and technological innovation. As MIT scholar Sherry Turkle has written, we do not err(犯错）as a society when we innovate, but when we ignore what we destroy or weaken while innovating. At this moment between print and digital cultures, society needs to face what is being weakened in the expert reading circuit, and what we can do about it.

We know from research that the reading circuit is not given to human beings through a genetic blueprint like vision or language; it needs an environment to develop. Further, it will adapt to that environment’s requirements—from different writing systems to the characteristics of whatever medium is used. If the dominant medium advantages processes that are fast, multi-task oriented and well-suited for large volumes of information, like the current digital medium, so will the reading circuit. As UCLA psychologist Patricia Greenfield writes, the result is that less attention and time will be devoted to slower, time-demanding deep reading processes, like inference, critical analysis and empathy, all of which are necessary to learning at any age.

There's an old rule in neuroscience that does not alter with age: use it or lose it. It is a very hopeful principle when applied to critical thought in the reading brain because it implies choice. The story of the changing reading brain is hardly finished. We possess both the science and the technology to identify and redress the changes in how we read before they become deep-rooted. If we work to understand exactly what we will lose, alongside the extraordinary new functions that the digital world has brought us, there is as much reason for excitement as caution.

【1】The first paragraph is meant to____________.

A.explain a theory related to reading brains

B.introduce a change in people’s reading habits

C.complain about people’s reading less and less

D.draw attention to the unusual environment on board

【2】What can be inferred from the passage about the reading circuit?

A.It is not what we are born with.

B.It existed for longer than human beings.

C.It enables us to recognize others’ feelings.

D.It was a main contributor to the writing system.

【3】According to the writer, what is the very thing that we ignore, destroy or weaken while we are innovating our way to read now?

A.How long our attention lasts. B.Print technologies.

C.Deep reading processes. D.Learning strategies for people of all ages.

【4】Which of the following statements is the writer most likely to agree with?

A.The old rule of “use it or lose it” doesn’t apply well in today’s fast developing world.

B.Science and technology are to blame for what we have lost while entering a digital age.

C.Deep-rooted principles will prevent us identifying and redressing the changes in reading.

D.We should evaluate how we read now before moving quickly into digital-based reading.

23、You’ve probably heard about sports coaches, fitness coaches, vocal music teachers, career counselors，psychiatrists (精神病医师) and other specialists who teach skills and help us cope with daily life.

But there’s a rapidly growing kind of professional who does a little bit of everything. She or he is called a “life coach”. People who are at crossroads in their lives and corporations that want to give certain employees a career boost are turning to them for help.

The idea that one person’s success story can change other people’s lives for the better goes back at least to the 1930s. Dale Carnegie’s famous self-improvement program “How to Win Friends and Influence People ” came along soon thereafter.

But this new style of life coaches includes more than enthusiastic speakers or writers. They use their own experiences in business, sports, military service, or psychotherapy (心理疗法) to help others make critical life decisions.

They often give their approach a slogan, such as “energy coaching” or “fearless living” or “working yourself happy”.

Dave Lakhani in Boise, Idaho, for instance, works with salespeople to develop what he calls a “road map”. He says an ongoing relationship with a coach is like having a personal fitness trainer for one’s career and life outside work.

Lakhani’s Bold Approach coaching firm also donates some of its time to help people who are anything but successful — including battered women and struggling single mothers.

But others in the so-called “helping professions” are not thrilled about the life-coaching movement. They say that anyone, trained or untrained, can call himself or herself a life coach, and that slick (华而不实的) promoters who mess with people’s lives can do more harm than good.

【1】Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A. Working Yourself Happy

B. Life Coaches Help with Tough Decisions

C. How to Cope with Daily Life with Life Coaches

D. The Life-Coaching Movement

【2】The underlined phrase “life coach” in Paragraph 2 means “   ”.

A. the career counselor who teaches skills

B. the psychiatrist who helps us cope with daily life

C. the fitness coach who teaches us lessons

D. the specialist who helps us make important life decisions

【3】The last paragraph is mainly about   .

A. the introductions of life coach

B. the disagreements of life coach

C. the effects of life coach

D. the experiences of life coach

【4】What is the author’s attitude towards life coaches?

A. Cautious.   B. Approving.

C. Casual.   D. Disapproving.

24、There are many travel apps out there, but these four apps can better help every traveler to sort through thousands of reviews. Try them out on your next adventure:

Gogobot

Gogobot recently launched a complete redesign, making the app more visual and easy to use for trip planning and organization. Recommendations include lodging, dining and entertainment.

Gogobot groups travelers by “Tribes” in order to recommend restaurants and activities. The idea behind Tribes is to provide information based on what people with similar travel styles have enjoyed. If you often travel with your family, Gogobot will recommend kid-friendly experiences.

Locish

When going through millions of online reviews, Locish makes looking for a needle in the haystack simple like a walk in the park. When you first sign on, the app asks you a few questions about your preferences. The app also lets you ask a question of other users nearby: If you’re traveling in England, you can ask, “Where’s a great bar with classic beers?” and locals can offer suggestions in real time.

Condé Nast Traveler’s Gold List

Condé Nast Traveler has a new travel app collecting all of the hotels, resorts, cruises and restaurants recommended in issues of the magazine, organizing them based on destination.

25、   Although it is difficult to make direct year-to-year comparisons because of increase in viewing on digital devices, the trend over the past decade is clear in numerous studies, including the Nielsen ratings. The average age of those who watch nationally televised Major League Baseball games has been _____ these years. Asked in a survey whether they _____ baseball, nearly two-thirds of those ages 18 to 36 said no.

Michael Haupert, a professor of economics at the University of Wisconsin ----la Crosse who studies baseball as a business, explains why many young people might be _____ by what to an older and more knowledgeable fan is one of the most exciting experiences in sports: a no-hitter. ” Failure is more ______ than success,” he says. ”If my students get a third of the answers right on their test, they fail. However, if a ballplayer gets a hit a third of the time, he’s often one of the _____ .” But watch an NBA game for 15 seconds, and you will likely see one team score.

It is not surprising that ______ the length of games----about three hours in recent years-----and increasing the pace of action has become a subject of discussion among those who love baseball. MLB commissioner Rob Manfred is strongly ______ of both. For the 2018 season, the league issued a set of new rules designed to do just that. Mound visits are limited. A timer countdown is designed to shorten the break between innings(局).

No one knows if any of these changes will significantly shorten games. According to MLB, the average length of a nine-inning outing this season has been three hours---about five minutes shorter than the 2017 average, itself the longest mean on record.

All of those proposed changes seem to ______ the point. I interviewed at least 100 semi-fans in their late teens and early 20s for my recent book. All considered themselves fans to some degree, though they ______  watched more than snatches—on iPads or smartphones. They told me it made no difference whether a game lasted two or three hours: they would not pay attention for _____ amount of time.

The historic May 14 Supreme Court decision allowing all states to legalize sports betting could have an impact on all this. More people will soon be able to gamble on sports while watching a game on their couch. But whether ______ gambling will attract more young people to baseball is a huge unknown. Many already gamble, both legally and illegally, on fantasy sports, but legalization will provide yet another ______ during games in real time. Will some states allow betting reports in broadcasts? Will it make the young more likely to bet on baseball than on other sports? Stay tuned.

I don’t know what will hook young people on baseball. But abandoning the game’s unique selling proposition---the timelessness that provides both suspense and great conversationhe educated fan -----is not the ______ . Baseball, Clark told me, is like a game of chess---and too many ______ - changes might turn it into something “more similar to a game of checkers.” Baseball may survive in spite of its challenges, precisely because it stands out and stands up against the short ______ spans that negatively affect every aspect of our culture, including politics and education. As Casey Stengel is reported to have said,” Never make predictions, especially about the future. ”
