A．taken in B．Put off C．Given up D．Turned put 23．What can we learn from the last paragragh？ A．Few students can afford to go abroad B．Traveling around Europe costs nothing C．It's better to go to Asia and south America D．Travellers should make sure they aren't cheated 24．The auther's attitude towards a gap year may best described as . A．Supportive B．negative C．Defensive D．Sensitive． B Two new studies have investigated why fewer women, compared to men, study and work in the so-called STEM subjects in the United States: science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The American Association of University Women(AAUW) examined existing research. Its report "Why So Few?" suggested ways to interest more girls and women in the STEM fields. The researchers found that cultural and environmental factors make a difference. Researcher Christianne Corbett says more boys than girls score very high on math tests in most countries, but Iceland and Thailand are exceptions. "This is something that we point out in our report—that cultural factors and societal factors can make a difference in who achieves at the very high levels and whether girls are achieving or not." Another study carried out by the Campos Company for the Bayer Corporation in the United States asked more than 1,000 women and minority members of the American Chemical Society about their experiences.77% said not enough women and minorities are working in STEM today, because they were not encouraged to study those subjects in school. The study, producing results similar to the AAUW research showed there’s still a lot of work to be done. "They say their interest in science begins before the age of eleven. So we need programs that get in front of kids while they’re young in elementary school." Increasing diversity in professions leads to better products, better science. And developing this science and engineering workforce is important to the nation’s economic development. "No matter what career you go into, whether it’s accounting, human resources or science career, it’s important that you can think creatively, you can work in teams, you can adapt to change and that’s important for everybody," says Rebecca Lucore. 25．Which of the following is true about the situation in Iceland and Thailand? A.Boys score higher in math tests than girls. B.Girls are given more exceptional attention than boys. C.More girls score higher in math than boys. D.Boys are more creative than girls. 26．Which of the following are mentioned as important factors for women to go into the STEM fields according to the passage? A.Gender and age. B.Culture and environment. C.Study and work experience. D.Family background. 27．What’s the importance of having more women engaged in STEM subjects? A.Women can help men in science and engineering work. B.Women are wiser and more cooperative than men. C.Women play a more important part in scientific research. D.Having both women and men in science and engineering can produce better scientific achievement. C When American soldiers return home from war with disabilities, they often suffer twice — first from their combat injuries, next from the humiliation (羞辱) of government dependency. Wounded veterans (老兵) learn they have two basic choices: They can receive almost $3,000 a month in disability benefits along with medical care and access to other various welfare programs, or they can try to find a job. Especially in this economy, it’s no wonder that many find that first option hard to turn down. Mark Duggan, an economics professor at Stanford University, reports that enrollment in U.S.veterans’ disability programs rose from 2.3 million in 2001 to 3.9 million in 2014. The percentage of veterans receiving benefits doubled, from 8.9% in 2001 to 18% in 2014. Disability services for veterans now consume $59 billion. In the 1980s and 1990s, male veterans were more likely to be in the labor force than nonveterans. But since 2000, that has changed dramatically. Now there is a 4% gap between veteran and nonveteran labor participation, with veteran participation lower. Navy SEAL Eric Greitens, founder of The Mission Continues, explains how soldiers who served their country are transformed into welfare receivers who live off their country. "When veterans come home from war they are going through a tremendous change in identity,"he says."Then the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, and others, encourage them to view themselves as disabled."By the time they come to Greitens’ non-profit organization,"We meet a number of veterans who see themselves as charity cases and are not sure anymore what they have to contribute." There are also more practical factors driving the disability boom. One is the expansion of qualification criteria. In 2000, for instance, type 2 diabetes was added as a disability because of evidence linking exposure to Agent Orange with the onset of the disease. Heart disease has also been added to the list. Another possible factor is that younger veterans seem less against welfare than their parents’ generation. Veterans who have served since the 1990s are much more likely to sign up for disability than their older counterparts; 1 in 4 younger veterans is on disability versus just 1 in 7 of those over age 54. We shouldn’t go back to the bad old days when veterans were afraid to admit weakness. But Lt.Col.Daniel Gade is one of many veterans who think our disability system is harmful, psychologically, to former soldiers. Gade lost his leg in combat in 2005 and now teaches at West Point. He recently gave a talk to disabled veterans at Ft. Carson, in which he urged them to rejoin the workforce. "People who stay home because they are getting paid enough to get by on disability are worse off,"he warned."They are more likely to abuse drugs and alcohol. They are more likely to live alone." What a waste of human potential, especially since most veterans on disability still have their prime working years ahead of them when they’re discharged(遣退). We could solve this problem by changing the way we view — and label — veterans with disabilities. As Gade noted in a recent article,"Veterans should be viewed as resources, not as damaged goods."He recommended that"efforts to help veterans should begin by recognizing their abilities rather than focusing only on their disabilities, and should serve the ultimate aim of moving wounded soldiers to real self-sufficiency." On a more practical note, the United States Department of Veterans Affairs could reallocate resources to spend more on job training and less on disability. Current placement programs are sadly inadequate. We are good at sending soldiers off to war. Yet when these young men and women return home, they are essentially told,"We’ll give you enough for a reasonably comfortable life, but we won’t help you find a job." It is unreasonable that we are condemning thousands of young veterans who served their country to life on the dole (救济金) rather than enabling them to reenter the workforce with the necessary accommodations. 28．What do more and more disabled veterans appear to do nowadays? A.Depend on the government for a living. B.Be treated badly in most workplaces. C.Ask the government for more dole. D.Spend more time on job hunting. 29．How does Mark Duggan prove his opinion in the passage? A.By listing figures. B.By giving examples. C.By performing experiments. D.By analyzing cause and effect. 30．One of the factors why there are more disabled veterans is that . A.damage from the war is greater than ever B.the scale of disabilities has been broadened C.veterans have suffered much more than ever D.older veterans aren’t afraid to admit their disability 31．In Gade’s opinion, the veterans who receive welfare from the government tend to . A.save more trouble for the government B.lead a miserable and unhappy life C.increasingly depend on the government D.suffer the humiliation of their combat injuries D As I made my way to my office last Thursday, I noticed an A4 poster stuck to the lift door. Then I noticed one on the wall, one on the noticeboard, and then one on my classroom door. In fact, they were stuck to nearly every available surface along the corridor. And they all had the same statement:"All I’m asking for is a little respect seeing I pay you ￡9,000 a year." I still don’t know what led to this flyer campaign — it is said that it’s linked to a group of students who were not given extra assignment grade for their examination — but I could not help but become annoyed at the impolite language. I started to think about the ways that my students act and speak, and the way I acted and spoke during my time at university. I will admit that I didn’t do all of the readings, and yes, I may have missed a couple of lectures throughout the year, but I completed all assignments and followed the guidelines presented to me, without expecting my lecturers to chase after me. I wish I could say the same for my students. As I walked through the car park with a colleague at the end of the day, we discussed the unrest( 不 安 )that the posters had caused:"If you ask me,"he said,"all universities are going to need a customer services department before long."And there it was, plain and simple, the issue that I hadn’t been able to explain: these young people weren’t behaving like university students, they were behaving like customers. I recalled the student who told me he was disappointed with his low grade because he had"paid so much money". My colleague topped it: when one of his students was asked to leave a seminar for not completing the reading, he responded:"I pay you to teach me what’s in the article, not the other way around." Last week I sent out the first round of grades for a module and had 12 emails of complaint within an hour. One in particular stood out for its misunderstanding of what it means to be a scholar. The student said the grade must be incorrect because he had turned up to all the lectures — as if simply hoping what I had taught him deserved a 70+ grade. As I attempted to make a polite and supportive response, I considered a few things. When did it become an expectation that turning up to lectures is worthy of reward in itself? Moreover, when I was studying would I have ever had theballsto contact my lecturers and not only question their ability to grade my work appropriately but imply that my low grade was their fault? I find that as time goes by, my students become increasingly reluctant to engage in any academic behavior that does not have a direct effect on their assignment grade. That is, after all, what they are paying for. And so I am not regarded as an academic. I am not an expert in my field, a person with 10 years’ worth of industry knowledge. I am a service provider. I wish I’d had the gusto(热忱)to reply to those posters."Hey student — all I’ m asking for is a little respect, seeing how much you pay makes no difference to my wages, yet the level of support I am forced to offer you takes up 80% of my time in spite of the fact that teaching is still only equal to 33% of my workload. But I’ll be in the office until 9 pm anyway because if I don’t publish two papers by the end of the year, I’ll be fired." 32．What did the students really want to say through the flyer campaign? A.They hoped less homework would be given. B.They were upset about what they had done. C.They wanted to be respected by their teacher. D.They received much less than they had expected. 33．What the author’s colleague said actually implies that . A.university students have gone too far B.he faces a lot of challenges from his students C.university students think little of their teachers D.university teachers face more pressure nowadays 34．Among students complaining to the author, the one standing out questioned his score because . A.he paid the author more B.he used to get good grades C.he had studied very hard D.he had attended every lecture 35．Why do students now show less respect for teachers? A.They are spoiled and impolite. B.They consider their teachers unqualified. C.The teaching style doesn’t appeal to them. D.They think it’s they that pay their teachers. 第二部分 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。 The Importance of Accessibility Awareness At a recent Teen Leadership of Jewish Family Services meeting, people with disabilities talked about their lives. 36 However, what amazed me most was the great importance of education about handicap accommodations (残疾人便利设施). One school-teacher who is blind, and a woman who has used a wheelchair all her life are two important members of the National Group for Disabled Persons, devoted to raising awareness about disabilities. 37 These include handicap parking spots, handrails, and wheelchair ramps. One big concern is the people who take advantage of aids, such as handicap parking spaces. 38 And the meeting focused on educating the public. Some handicap spots have extra room next to them, marked with the “No Parking” signs. “As long as I'm not in the spot, I can take the no-parking area next to it,” some people say. However, the woman who uses a wheelchair disagrees to this. The space exists to allow someone in a wheelchair to have room to get in or out of their car. 39 Some walkways have handrails next to them to help those who require extra assistance. Whether it is a blind person seeking guidance or an elderly person seeking support, the rail is there for walking. Sometimes the rail is blocked, by a parked bicycle for instance, and consequently made useless. 40 People who are informed of the rail’s use would be less likely to mistake it for a bike rack. Meeting some of the people who are affected by the lack of education about accommodations made me see that there is work to be done. If more people were educated about the proper uses of accommodations, there would be fewer challenges for people with physical disabilities. A. Accommodations will vary according to the needs of the disabled. B. As with the parking spot, this is more likely a case of lack of education. C. They educate about all the accommodations for people with disabilities. D. Improvement must be made so that disabled people can fully participate. E. If there is a car in that space, the handicap parking spot is no longer useful. F. So people without disabilities need to be educated about these accommodations. G. I was amazed to hear about the challenges faced by people with physical disabilities. 三.语言知识技能运用（共两节，共 45 分） 【一】完形填空（每题 1.5 分，共 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。 A magazine article told about a woman in rural Florida who was recovering from a lengthy illness.

Recently I have read a collection of poems and have become very interested in poetry. From the poems I have read, I have learned that poems have rhythms and rhymes and therefore sound beautiful, even more beautiful than prose. Though a poem is short and contains only a limited number of words, it can present an image to its readers and arouse the readers’ unlimited imagination, as a picture does. Not only can it represent beautiful things, but it can also record historical events. A poem can convey the poet’s feelings, so poetry is a very good form of literature to express one’s emotion. That’s why I have come to like poems. Attached to this letter is a short poem by me. Will you like it? Please let me know what you think of it. Looking forward to your next letter. Yours sincerely, Li Hua
