Voters will decide between the Democratic candidate（候选人）. Hillary Clinton, and Donald Trump of the Republieans. But the voting is not a must for each person in the US. So quite a lot of people choose not to vote（投票）, especially the young generation According to Fox News, one-in-five young voters between the ages of 18 and 35 said clearly that they wouldn’t vote for either of the two candidates. Just 12 percent of voters aged35-54, and only nine percent of voters aged 55 and older said the same thing. This is not only because young people don’t like Clinton or Trump, according to the Fortune magazine. The truth is that they are traditionally less likely to vote than their parents. “Young people are not at an age in their life when they think polities or government has anything to do with them,” said Rodd Freitag, a political science professor at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, US.“But for the older age groups, they have a home they pay taxes（税）, they care about schools and the community.” Many believe that the civic（公民的）education of an American youth is another reason why they don’t vote. Students usually just to community services like cleaning the neighborhoods, This means they haven’t learned how to link real life problems to polities through voting according to Christopher Beem, a polities professor at the Pennsylvania State University. He said the country needs to help young people learn how to take part in polities and get them to see that they can make a difference. 21．What percentage of young voters wouldn’t go to vote? A．9 percent B．12 percent C．20 percent D．55 percent 22．According to Rodd Freitag young people are less likely to vote because . A．they don’t like either of the candidates B．their parents don’t like to vote C．they don’t think it is a part of their life D．they have no work and care little about living problems 23．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? A．US Young Not Voting B．US Young and Their President C．Young People’s Power D．Voting for the New US President B On the day of college graduation, I told my friends and family the news; I was leaving the country I had lived in since childhood, “I just need a change,”I told them, but there was more. I was running from heartbreak. My relationship with the United States is the toughest one I have ever had, as a country I loved and believed in did not love me back. Back in the 90`s. my mother brought me from our home in the Caribbean islands to the U.S. when I was 4 years old. She worked as a live-in nanny（保姆）for two years, playing mommy for white kids whose parents had better things to do. She didn’t believe that nanny meant maid, and did whatever was asked of her. She was thirsty to embrace her American dream, hoping that her children would be educated and she might have nannies of her own. Those were our path to get a “good education.” When the neighborhoods with quality schools became too expensive for my mom to afford as a single parent, we went across the United States with Great Schools, net as our compass: New Jersey, elementary school; Texas, middle school; Florida, high school; New York City, private university. For a long time I survived by covering myself in all kinds of labels so that people would ignore the color of my skin, yet I existed on the edge of ugly, ignorant and unealtured. “Black people don’t really know how to swim.” “The black children don’t like to read very much,”I overheard one librarian discussing with another while I sat down reading a book a couple feet away. I was never able to make America my home. When I stripped myself of the labels painfully one by one, beneath them there is a wounded colored woman who refuses to be faceless anymore. My face may be disgusting to some since it bears proof that race continues to be a problem. My hope is that it will force Americans to rc-examine their “post-racial”beliefs. 24．What was the real reason that made the author leave the United States? A．It couldn’t provide her with good edueation B．She just needed a challenge in her way of life C．The way she was treated there broke her heart D．She was tired of living in a strange country 25．What can we infer about the author’s mother from Paragraphs 2 and 3? A．She sacrificed a lot to live a better life in America B．She was quite content to work as a live-in nanny. C．She was particular about the schools her daughter attended D．She liked visiting all kinds of schools with the author 26．The author gives two examples in Paragraph 4 to show that . A．how ignorant and uncultured many people are in US B．the US to reflect on how it treats colored people C．her family to understand her decision D．the black people to re-examine their way of life 27．The author writes the passage to expect . A．immigrants to get ready for more hardship B．the US to reflect on how it treats colored people C．her family to understand her decision D．the black people to re-examine their way of life C When it comes to preschool education, there are two lines of thought. One says that preschoolers need to be taught early academic skills in order to get a leg up on future school achievement. Another says the focus should be on social and emotional development. But new research from Penn State University says a high quality preschool program should do both. Karen Bierman, Penn State Professor of Psychology, and her team studied 350 preschoolers. Half were taught the traditional curriculum（课程）. The other half were given the basic curriculum as well as social and emotional teaching. The results show that the half students taught with a curriculum that includes social lesson, such as sharing, listening and self-control, score higher in both the social and academic areas of school readiness than the other half students. The other finding is that when you work on both academic and social-emotional skills, you get stronger gains in both areas. “You get the combined power when you put both together, so neither area is weakened,” she says. Clearly, knowing how to share, develop healthy friendships, and learn side-by-side with others is important to a child’s academic achievement in the classroom. But, Bierman says the importance of social and emotional education goes beyond that, Preschool is prime time for the development of self-regulation, which not only tells a child not to hit another child, but also tells a child how to set personal goals and focus himself enough to follow through with those goals. And the ability to regulate behavior is what helps children get motivated at school. “When they get upset, bored, or frustrated, it doesn’t defeat them,”she says. Goal-oriented（面向目标的）and motivated learning is best taught in preschool, Bierman says, when the prefrontal part of the brain, which controls decision-making, is at the height of development.“First grade teachers can teach letter names, but preschool is when that behavior is peaking and language is just beginning to develop.”she says. 28．Karen Bierman and her team carried out the research by . A．tracking 350 preschoolers for years B．separating children into two equal groups C．working out a high quality preschool program D．analyzing the importance of social and emotional teaching 29．The underlined words “prime time”in the text probably refer to . A．the best time B．the only time C．the earliest time D．the suitable time 30．According to the text, self-regulation can help children 。 A．be willing to study B．become emotionless C．memorize letter names D．learn language quickly 31．What’s the best tide for the text? A．Preschool learning: more than ABCs and 123s B．Karen Bierman: freeing kids from boring learning C．Learning self-regulation in preschool: why it matters? D．Academic and social-emotional skills: which is more important? D Because, like most of you, I began college in my teens, but after a year, I was offered my dream job at Universal Studios, so I dropped out. Well, I left college because I knew exactly what I wanted to do and some of you know, too—but some of you don’t. Or maybe you thought you knew but are now questioning that choice. Maybe you’re sitting there trying to find out how to tell your parents that you want to be a doctor and not a writer. I told my parents if my movie career didn’t go well, I’d re-enroll（重新报名上学）.It went all right. But finally, I returned for one big reason. Most people go to college for an education, and some go for their parents, but I went for my kids, I’m the father of seven, and I kept insisting on the importance of going to college, but I hadn’t walked the walk. So, in my fifties, I re-enrolled at Cal State-Long Bech, and I earned my degree. Well, what you choose to do next is what we call in the movies the “character-defining（角色 定义）moment”. Life is one strong, long string of character-defining moments. And I was lucky that at 18 I knew that I exactly wanted to do. But I didn’t know who I was. How could I? And how could any of us? Because for the first 25 years of our lives, we are trained to listen to voices that are not our own, Parents and professors fill our heads with wisdom and information, and then employers and tutors take their place and explain how this world really works. And I want to be clear that your intuition（直觉）is different from your conscience（良心）. Here’s the difference: Your conscience shouts, “here’s what you should do,”while your intuition whispers,“here’s what you could do.”Listen to that voice that tells you what you could do. Nothing will define your character more than that. Sticking to your character requires a lot of courage. And to be courageous, you’re going to need a lot of support. And if you’re lucky, you have parents like mine. I consider my mom my lucky charm. But look, if your family’s not always available, there’s backup. Do you remember that movie, It’s a Wonderful Life? There’s an actor’s line in it. No man is a failure who has friends. And I hope you hold on to the friendships you’re made here at Harvard. And among your friends, I hope you find someone you want to share your life with. 32．In the writer’s opinion, why can’t we define ourselves before 25 years old? A．Because we are not old enough B．Because we are used to listening to others voices C．Because our parents and professors ask us to listen to the voices of our employers D．Because we can’t find suitable jobs 33．According to the passage, which of the following is true? A．The writer completed his college study in his teens B．The writer’s movie career didn’t go all right so he returned to college C．It was not until he was 25 years old that the writer knew what he exactly wanted to do D．The writer suggests we should listen to our intuition 34．What do the last two paragraphs mainly tell us? A．It takes much courage to insist on your character B．It’s important to find a boyfriend or a girlfriend at Harvard C．There are some supporters who should be valued in our life D．The movie It’s a Wonderful Life is worth watching 35．The passage is most likely to be , A．a speech B．a report C．a film review D．an advertisement 第二节（共 5小题；每小题 2分，满分 10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Nowadays it’s not easy to find a suitable job. Follow these tips, and possibly you can find a job that suits your personality. ·List your strong and weak points Before you start your job search, take some time to think about your strong and weak points. 36 If you are excellent at managing your time, for example, a job in project management, or one that involves organizing others, could be perfect. ●Ask others for their opinions Although you should know yourself better than anyone else, there are times when a second opinion is needed. 37 They may come up with ideas that you haven’t considered. You should, however, make sure that they aren’t so protective of you that they persuade you not to push yourself, or encourage you so much that you aim too high. ●Find out what potential jobs involve 38 Make sure you do as much research as possible to determine exactly you will have to do. An office job may sound very safe if you are shy, but if you then find that you have to give regular presentations, you may not be cut out for after all. ● 39 When looking for a job, many people have an idea of what they would like to be in the future. However, that is often little more than a dream and, even if it’s possible to reach that goal, it may involve years of hard work that you don’t enjoy. 40 If you can find a job that mirrors what makes you happy in life, it is likely that you will enjoy it and it will match your personality type. A．Take a personality lest B．Consider what delights you C．Think about what makes you happy and then analyze why D．Finding a job that suits your personality is very easy and interesting E．Ask your friends and family what sort of job they think would suit you best F．Sometimes, it isn’t immediately obvious what a job will involve until you start it G．More importantly, think about how they would affect your ability to do particular jobs 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分 45分） 第一节：完整填空（共 20题，每小题 1.5分，满分 30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和 D）中，选出可以填入空白处 的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I used to be a happy child.
