Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Thirtynine years ago,a young man named Ma Yun met an Australian family by Hangzhou's West Lake.Five years later,Ken Morley,the father of the family,invited Ma to Australia,which would be the first time for Ma to travel abroad.After staying in Newcastle for 29 days,Ma came back to China as a changed person.
“What impressed me most was that the world is full of wonders,”Ma,now known as Jack Ma,one of the founders of Chinese ecommerce giant Alibaba,said in an interview.“What you learned from books and your parents is not necessarily true.You need to experience everything by yourself,and to think with your own mind.”That was perhaps one of the earliest thoughts that Ma had had about education.
This is why when the news came that Ma was going to step down as the executive chairman of Alibaba and return to education,it wasn't exactly a surprise.After all,over the past decade,Ma has devoted himself to education:He cofounded Hupan University in Hangzhou for entrepreneurship(企业家精神)studies;he established foundations to support teachers and headmasters in rural areas in China;he also set up the Ma & Morley Scholarship at the University of Newcastle to give back to the kindness that an Australian stranger once showed to a random Chinese boy.
“Teaching maths,English and business is beyond my plan.Teaching young people how to face challenges is what matters,”Ma said.So,while some people may say that Ma's stepping down from Alibaba is like the end of an era,Ma himself sees his return to education as“the beginning of an era”.
1.What does Ma Yun suggest for young people?
A.Purchasing on the Internet.
B.Following books and parents.
C.Travelling abroad to broaden mind.
D.Experiencing the world by themselves.
2.Why did Ma Yun set up a scholarship in Australia?
A.To show his gratitude in return.
B.To earn more money on education.
C.To increase his company's influence.

D.To inspire Chinese overseas students.
3.What would Ma Yun teach in his university?
A.How to study maths and English.
B.How to start a business.
C.How to run ecommerce.
D.How to face challenges.
4.What can be the best title for the text?
A.How to Become Great
B.Returning to Education
C.The Internet Empire
D.Learning by Doing

“For thousands of years,people have known that the best way to understand a concept is to explain it to someone else.While we teach,we learn,” said Roman philosopher Seneca.Now scientists are bringing this ancient wisdom uptodate.They're documenting why teaching is such a fruitful way to learn,and designing innovative ways for young people to engage in instruction.

Researchers have found that students who sign up to tutor others work harder to understand the material,recall it more accurately and apply it more effectively.Student teachers score higher on tests than pupils who're learning only for their own sake.But how can children teach others while learning themselves? One answer:They can tutor younger kids.Some studies have found that firstborn children are more intelligent than their laterborn siblings(兄弟或姐妹).This suggests their higher IQs result from the time they spend teaching their siblings.Now educators are experimenting with ways to apply this model to academic subjects.They engage college undergraduates to teach computer science to high school students,who in turn instruct middle school students on the topic.
But the most cuttingedge tool under development is the “teachable agent”—a computerized character who learns,tries,makes mistakes and asks questions just like a realworld pupil. Computer scientists have created an animated(动画的)figure called Betty's Brain,who has been “taught”about environmental science by hundreds of middle school students.Student teachers are motivated to help Betty master certain materials.While preparing to teach,they organize their knowledge and improve their own understanding.And as they explain the information to it,they identify problems in their own thinking.
Feedback from the teachable agents further enhances the tutors' learning.The agents' questions force student tutors to think and explain the materials in different ways,and watching the agents solve problems allows them to see their knowledge put into action.
Above all,it's the emotions one experiences in teaching that facilitate learning.Student tutors feel upset when their teachable agents fail,but happy when these virtual pupils succeed as they derive pride and satisfaction from someone else's accomplishment.
5.What are researchers rediscovering through their studies?
A.Seneca's thinking is still applicable today.
B.Better learners will become better teachers.
C.Human intelligence tends to grow with age.
D.Philosophical thinking improves instruction.
6.What do we learn about Betty's Brain?
A.It is a character in a popular animation.
B.It is a teaching tool under development.
- 8 -
C.It is a cuttingedge app in digital games.
D.It is a tutor for computer science students.
7.How does teaching others benefit student tutors?
A.It makes them aware of what they are strong at.
B.It motivates them to try novel ways of teaching.
C.It helps them learn their academic subjects better.
D.It enables them to better understand their teachers.
8.What is the key factor that eases student tutors' learning?
A.Their sense of responsibility.
B.Their emotional involvement.
C.The learning strategy acquired.
D.The teaching experience gained.

Ⅱ.七选五
Leaving a good impression can be done in different ways,from clothing to posture,and from talking style to body language.Below are several tips for you to begin with:
·Physical appearance matters.We're visual creatures after all.
Physical appearance is the first clue one relies on to judge who we are. 1 It also means the person means something to us by dressing properly.If it is a business setting,be aware of the dress rule or culture. 2 A thumbsup here does not mean the same elsewhere.So do the research!Details from any little areas will affect the impression on the whole.
· 3
A fake(假的)smile can potentially do more harm than good in our attempts to leave a good impression.It is understandable that sometimes it is hard to suddenly force a smile. 4 Remember being positive plays an important part in shaping our first impression.
·Look into people's eyes until you see the colours of their iris(虹膜).
Keeping eye contact delivers a sense of friendship to the people we interact with.Consequently,they feel more connected to us and tend to be more positive toward the interaction. 5 Well,try to identify the colour of the others' irises.Get it? That makes a good eye contact example.
Are these the impressions we want to leave? Stop staring at the ground and look at people in the eye then!
A.What makes a quality eye contact?
B.How does eye contact affect interaction?
C.The requirement varies from culture to culture.
D.Then at least try not to look discouraging and angry!
E.Don't fake a smile,or people will doubt your sincerity.
F.Always smile while interacting with others,especially with a new friend.
G.Besides,it is a way to show respect by choosing appropriate clothes for different settings.

【语篇解读】 本文主要介绍了鲸鱼的一些习性特征,并提及大多数国家开始重视对鲸鱼的保护。
1.解析:考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,从句谓语动词为are和produce,feed与其之间无连词连接,因此本空应为不定式作目的状语。句意为:这意味着它们是温血动物,并且雌性鲸鱼会产奶来喂养它们的孩子。故填to feed。
答案:to feed
2.解析:考查非谓语动词。设空处与can grow之间无连词连接,且have与adult blue whales之间为逻辑上的主动关系,故应用现在分词作状语。句意为:拥有世界上最大的动物这一美誉,成年蓝鲸能长到30米长……故填Having。
答案:Having
3.解析:考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,设空处作定语,修饰前面的the female,且the female与weigh之间为逻辑上的主动关系,故应用现在分词。句意为:……雌性鲸鱼通常比雄性鲸鱼体形稍长一些,体重大约170吨。故填weighing。

答案:was limited
10.解析:考查定语从句。句意为:如今,大多数国家强烈反对捕鲸,就连澳大利亚,现在也支持反捕鲸政策。此空引导定语从句,并在从句中作主语,因先行词country被the very修饰,所以只能用that引导。故填that。
答案:that
