It is the fourth-oldest college in the United States and is an independent institution that provides undergraduate and graduate instruction in the arts and humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and engineering. As a well-known research university, Princeton seeks to achieve the highest levels in the discovery and spread of knowledge and understanding. At the same time, Princeton is distinctive among research universities in its commitment to undergraduate teaching.‎ Academics Faculty（教员）, including full time, part time and visiting: 1,238 (spring 2016) Undergraduate student-to-faculty rate: 5:1‎ Departments: 36‎ Schools within the University: School of Architecture, School of Engineering and Applied Science, Woodrow Wilson School‎ of ‎Public and International Affairs.‎ Library Princeton University Library consists of the Firestone Library and nine buildings across campus. The library’s collections include more than 8 million books and impressive rare books, prints and other material that require special handling. The library’s extensive electronic resources include databases and journal, images and digital maps. Exhibitions from the library’s rich collections are free and open to the general public.‎ Campus Life A vast range of cultural, educational, athletic and social activities are available to Princeton students. Getting involved in campus life is the quickest way to become a part of the University community, and to create one’s own Princeton experience. Campus life activities are built around the concepts of encouraging each community member to display his or her talents and to learn to respect all members of our community.‎ Aid Program ‎ Our aid program is designed to encourage all qualified students — regardless of financial circumstances — to consider applying for admission to Princeton. Any family, who feels they may need help to pay for a Princeton education is welcome to apply for aid.‎ ‎ For more information, please visit: http://www. princeton. edu.‎ ‎21. Among research universities, what is special about Princeton‎ ‎University?‎ A. It’s long history. B. It’s wide range of courses.‎ C. Its ambition to be the best. D. Its undergraduate teaching. ‎ ‎22. What can be learned about Princeton University Library?‎ A. It is the best research library in the world.‎ B. It has many branches across the country.‎ C. The public needn’t pay to attend its exhibitions. ‎ D. All its collections are rare and precious. ‎ ‎23. The aid program of Princeton‎ ‎University is intended for ?‎ A. students applying for admission to Princeton ‎ B. students who are admitted into university.‎ C. any family in need.‎ D. qualified students who can’t afford to pay for Princeton. ‎ B A new study has discovered that meditation（冥想）and oxygen sport together reduce depression. The Rutgers‎ ‎University study found that this mind and body combination, done twice a week for only two months, reduced the symptoms for a group of students by 40 percent.‎ ‎“We are excited by the findings because we saw such a meaningful improvement in both clinically depressed and non-depressed students,” said lead author Dr. Brandon Alderman. “It is the first time that both of these two behavioral ways have been looked at together for dealing with depression.”‎ Researchers believe the two activities have an interactive effect on combating depression. Alderman and Dr. Tracey Shors discovered that a combination of mental and physical training (MAP) enabled students with major depressive disorder not to let problems or negative thoughts defeat them.‎ Rutgers‎ researchers say those who participated in the study began with 30 minutes of focused attention meditation followed by 30 minutes of oxygen sport. They were told that if their thoughts drifted to the past or the future they should refocus on their breathing, enabling those with depression to accept moment-to-moment changes in attention.‎ Shors, who studies the production of new brain cells in the hippocampus—part of the brain involved in memory and learning—says scientists have shown in animal models that oxygen sport exercise keeps a large number of certain cells alive.‎ The idea for the human intervention（干预）came from her laboratory studies, she says, with the main goal of helping individuals acquire new skills so that they can learn to recover from stressful life events.‎ By learning to focus their attention and exercise, people who are fighting depression can acquire new learning skills that can help them process information and reduce the overwhelming recollection of memories from the past, Shors says.‎ ‎“We know these treatments can be practiced over a lifetime and that they will be effective in improving mental health.” said Alderman. “The good news is that this intervention can be practiced by anyone at any time and at no cost.”‎ ‎24 What made the research so different?‎ A. Adopting a way of meaningful talk.‎ B. Combining the two behavioral ways to treat depression.‎ C. Treating depression with special medicine.‎ D. Comparing the depressed with the non-depressed.[]‎ ‎25. The underlined word “combating” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by ______.‎ A. fighting B. identifying C. distinguishing D. examining ‎26. What did the participants do in the research?‎ A. They did oxygen sport half an hour before thinking.‎ B. They thought quietly and then took exercise.‎ C. They took exercise longer than they thought.‎ D. They took exercise while thinking quietly.‎ ‎27. What is Shors’ main purpose of her studies?‎ A. To find out certain brain cells of humans.‎ B. To study the production of new brain cells.‎ C. To offer people a new method to treat stress.‎ D. To decide the links between stress and exercise.‎ C ‎ Some of Australian cyclists have used "GPS art" to turn a 202 km (125- mile) ride into the outline of a goat, which interests many people greatly.‎ ‎ The four men marked their route on an app before using it track their journey around Perth. When uploaded to the computer, it was shown as a picture. Cyclist Ben Jones said the group settled on a goat because it was an easy animal to draw. He said the ride lasted more than six hours, with the four men stopping only for food, and flat tyres . "Except for riding 202km, it's relatively simple," Mr. Jones told the BBC. "You mainly mark your route on the app and it plans directions out."‎ ‎ GPS art has also been widely used by runners and other cyclists when they travel out. Mr. Jones said his group wanted to shake up their normal weekend ride. "We all ride l0,000km to 15,000km a year," he said. "Mostly we just ride together as mates and have a good time － that's what this was about."‎ ‎ The group received much attention after posting their map to social media this week. Others described Mr. Jones as a goat guy in an interview on Australian television. For their next piece of GPS art, the group plans to draw a local animal such as the koala. "Certainly, there'll be something coming, for we are making our decisions to put more and more plans into practice. I'm sure of that," Mr. Jones said.‎ ‎28.

They are a mirror of ourselves.” Here, Schult w as talking about his 1,000 trash sculptures in the form of humans.‎ He first exhibited them in 1996 in the w estern German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.‎ ‎“They are social sculptures,” he explains. “They are not only sculptures for the eyes. They are sculptures to spread the idea that w e live in a time of garbage.” So far, Schult’s social sculptures have been on show in Paris, in Moscow ’s Red Square, on the Great Wall of China, and in the desert next to the Giza Pyramids near Cairo.‎ HA Schult’s w ork is unforgettable. Although h is w ork has had a big inf luence on the art w orld, Schult remains modest about his creations , “Artists have to learn every time. We are not important. All that counts is the time in w hich w e are living.”‎ Trash art has been around for years. But it seems that only the popular artists are regarded as true artists w hen w orking w ith trash. Why can’t common people be considered artists w hen they use the same things and change them into some form of personal art? Maybe it’s because w e all have our ow n preset ideas of w hat art is and isn’t, or w ho artists are or should be.‎ You can be an artist like Schult if you try. Look at used metal cans. What might be done w ith them? Imagine them in any number of new uses, or imagine them simp ly as an art form. What about boxes or clothing? Box es can usually serve as new storage containers and houses for pets. And clothing? Imagine taking old clothes and turning them into hats or hanging organizers.‎ ‎32. What do w e know about Schult’s sculptures?‎ A. They served as garbage containers. ‎ B. They reflected environmental issues.‎ C. They w ere first show n in Paris‎, ‎France. D. They w ere to raise economic aw areness.‎ ‎33. HA Schult’s artistic works also get the message across that an artist must .‎ A. be socially responsible B. be as modest as possible C. make garbage recyclable D. take diverse artistic forms ‎34. According to the last two paragraphs, the author probably agrees that .‎ A. it takes talent to be a trash artist B. preset ideas are important to artists C. trash art can’t be seen as a real art form D. average people can also make trash artists ‎35. Which of the follow ing is the best title for the text?‎ A. Could You Be a Trash Artist? B. What Are Social Sculptures?‎ C. Do You Know About Trash Art?‎ D. How Can We Deal w ith Used Cans?‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共1 0分）‎ How can I fight laziness?‎ Lazy people will never amount to anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.‎ ‎___36___Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.‎ Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more proactive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. ___37__‎ Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child to promote responsibility. ____38__‎ ‎____39____ Spouses and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. To fight household laziness, lead by example. Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when your are surrounded by motivated people.‎ ‎____40___ Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.‎ A. Knowing how to fight laziness is important.‎ B. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.‎ C. Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home.‎ D.
