The Bangladeshi-American, Salman Khan was born in 1976 to a poor immigrant family. He knew

clearly  (31) 

education could give people power and change their lives for the better: Khan

went to a public high school (32)  “a few classmates were fresh out of jail”, as he told The New

York Times, but he got into the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

He got Bachelor of Science degrees in mathematics, electrical engineering and computer science, and also got a Master of Business Administration degree from Harvard Business School. Khan then worked as a

successful hedge-fund analyst (对冲基金分析师).

It all began in 2004 (33)                 Khan began tutoring his cousins who were having difficulty with math. To make it easier to communicate with them, he decided to put the lessons online as a series of videos. His cousins quickly found that they preferred seeing Khan online.

“(34)   (have) a video lesson that they could pause and repeat made it easier to learn ”

commented Wired magazine, without tiring their tutor.

He started to realize that the videos could help a lot more people and never grow old. He then quit his job, made more than 4,800 videos teaching math of all grades, put them online, and started Khan Academy in 2006.

“My ideas about teaching were straightforward and deeply personal. I wanted to teach in the way I wished that I(35)                   (teach). I hoped to show the joy of learning, the excitement of understanding things about the universe. I wanted to pass along to students not only the logic but the beauty of math and science,” he wrote in his book The One World Schoolhouse: Education Reimagined.

The academy has become so popular across the world (36)                     celebrities and businesspeople are starting to offer donations, (37)                      (include) Microsoft founder Bill Gates. He has donated more than $9 million (about 57 million yuan) to the academy organization, reported Forbes.

However, Khan doesn’t want to make money from it. “My goal is (38)  (make) learning

faster for students of all ages. (39)   so little effort on my own part, I can give a large number of people power for all time. I can’t think of a (40)   (good) use of my time,” Khan said in his TED talk. Section C 10%

A pen has always been a(n)(41)               tool when it comes to taking exams. However, in this digital age, this traditional tool may become a thing of the past.

Cambridge University in Britain is considering ending 800 years of written exams and allowing students to use laptops or Ipads to take exams instead.

The move comes after Cambridge teachers complained that students’ handwriting is becoming too

hard  to  recognize.  The  (42) 

in  being  able  to  write  neatly  could  largely  be  down  to  the

(43)  on laptops in lectures and elsewhere.

“There  has  definitely  been  a(n)(44) 

trend. It is difficult for both the students and the

examiner as it is harder and harder to read these scripts," Sarah Pearsall, a senior lecturer at the university, told The Telegraph.

As a result, more and more students with poor handwriting are being(45)                   to return to university during the summer holidays to read their answers aloud to university administrators

However, some (46)                       the move, fearing the handwritten word would become a lost art. Tracy Trussell, a handwriting expert at the British Institute of Graphologists, (47)                  Cambridge to "

make sure that students continue to write by hand, particularly in lectures". She told The Telegraph that

writing by hand could help students improve their memory and understand lessons better.

Meanwhile, there are also concerns that primary and secondary schools could follow Cambridge's example

In fact, a similar plan was carried out for some first- and second-year students at Edinburgh University in  the  UK  in  2011,  reported  The  Scotsman.  Senior  officials  at  the  university  believed  it  was

(48)                      to expect students to use pens and paper during exams when most of their coursework was done using computers.

The move also echoes the opinions of Harvard professor Eric Mazur, known as the father of the" flipped classroom(翻转课堂). He believes that the rise of mobile Internet(49)                   means that we

live in an age in which we don’t need to memorize anything Students should be tested on their creative and (50)                      skills, rather than the ability to remember information, he said during the Times Higher Education World Academic Summit in September.

III. Reading Comprehension

Section A     15%

Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

If you studied pictures that ancient people left on rock walls and you tried to determine their meaning,

you would not detect a deep interest in romance among the artists.      51    , you would see plenty of animals with people running after them. Life for ancient people seemed to center on hunting and gathering wild foods for meals.

In modern times, when food is available in grocery stores, finding love is more      52        to people’s lives. The        53      is all around us. It is easy to prepare a list of modern stories having to do with love. An endless number of books and movies qualify as love stories in popular culture.

Researchers are studying whether love, a highly valued emotional state, can be      54       . They ask, what is love? Toothpaste companies want us to think attraction is all about clean teeth, but clean teeth go only so far. Scientists wonder how much the brain gets involved. You have probably heard that opposites attract but that      55        attract, too. One thing is certain: The truth about love is not yet set in stone.

First Impression

To help determine the      56  of attraction, researchers paired 164 college classmates and had them

talk for 3, 6 or 10 minutes so they could get a sense of each other’s individuality. Then students were asked to      57     what kind of relationship they were likely to build with their partners. After nine weeks, they reported what happened.

As it turned out, their      58        judgments often held true. Students seemed to      59      at an early stage who would best fit into their lives.

The     60      Knows

Scientists have also turned to nonhumans to increase understanding of attraction. Many animals give

off pheromones—natural chemicals that can be detected by, and then can produce a response in, other animals of the same species. Pheromones can signal that an animal is either ready to fight or is feeling

61      to partnerships. In contrast, humans do not seem to be as    62        as other animals at detecting such chemicals. Smell, however, does seem to play a part in human attraction. Although we may not be aware of

chemicals like pheromones consciously, we give and receive loads of information through smell in every

interaction with other people.

Face Value

Being fond of someone seems to have a number of factors, including seeing something we find

attractive. Researchers had people judge faces for        63       . The participants had 0.013 seconds to view each face, yet somehow they generally considered the images the same as people who had more time to study the same faces. The way we        64        attractiveness seems to be somewhat automatic.

When shown an attractive face and then words with good or bad associations, people responded to

65      words faster after viewing an attractive face. Seeing something attractive seems to cause happy thinking.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Directions:  Read  the  following  three  passages.   Each  passage  is  followed  by  several  questions  or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.   Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

(A)

Life can be so wonderful, full of adventure and joy. It can also be full of challenges, setbacks and heartbreaks. Whatever our circumstances, we generally still have dreams, hopes and desires—that little something more we want for ourselves and our loved ones. Yet knowing we can have more can also create a problem, because when we go to change the way we do things, up come the old patterns and pitfalls that stopped us from seeking what we wanted in the first place.

This tension between what we feel we can have and "what were seemingly able to have is the niggling suffering, the anxiety we feel. This is where we usually think it's easier to just give up. But we're never meant to let go of the part of us that knows we can have more. The intelligence behind that knowing is us—the real us. It's the part that believes in life and its possibilities. If you drop that, you begin to feel a little "dead" inside because you're dropping "you".

So, if we have this capability but somehow life seems to keep us stuck, how do we break these patterns? Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time. This is good advice for a new adventure or
