The crowds have thinned, and those humid 95-degree days are long gone. And the National Zoo is a different experience because of 500,000 bulbs that illuminate the annual ZooLights celebration.‎ ‎ Eco-friendly twinkly lights will decorate zoo walkways, trees and buildings. Sculptures featuring popular zoo residents, including elephants and giant pandas, light up in time to music.‎ ‎ If walking and watching isn’t enough excitement, head to Lion & Tiger Hill, home to a 150-foot-long snowless tubing run. Rides on the trackless train and the carousel also will be available.‎ ‎ Don’t forget to visit a few of the zoo’s real animals. The Kids’ Farm, Reptile Discovery ‎ Center, Small Mammal House, Think Tank (orangutans) and Great Cats exhibit will be open in the evening.

As I stood at University College waiting with hundreds of others, I suddenly felt overcome with emotion. My very long and personal journey to convocation had started 20 years earlier on the St. George campus.‎ ‎ I first enrolled at U of T through the Transitional Year Programme in 1983. At the time I was a 30-year-old mother of two girls and married to “the boy next door.” I was both excited and terrified, and felt a little like Rita in the movie Educating Rita – traveling daily to classes in high heels. I decided that it would be better for my family if I attended classes closer to home, so I transferred to Scarborough for my second year. After picking up the girls from school, I’d bring them back to the studio where I rehearsed. Much to my horror, they would crawl around on the catwalks high above me. They were 10 and 12 and loved being at “Mom’s school.”‎ ‎ My life changed drastically that year. On June 10, 1986, my husband of 13 years was killed in a horrific accident. I picked up my life the best I could under the circumstances and returned to U of T, but failed to get all the credits I needed. Twenty years later, on the eve of my 50th birthday, I e-mailed an old professor, who encouraged me to sign up for a new class he was teaching about writing for the theatre. This time I made it all the way through.‎ ‎ As I stepped inside Convocation Hall, I searched the crowd for my girls, now in their thirties. They were in the highest balcony, waving frantically at me – just as they had done from the catwalk in my drama class so long ago. I will never forget the look on the girls faces as they called out “Hi Mom.” I finally felt complete.‎ ‎24. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “convocation” in Paragraph 1?‎ ‎ A. Birthday party. B. Graduation ceremony. ‎ ‎ C. College credits. D. Drama class.‎ ‎25. When the author graduated from U of T, she was probably around __________ years old.‎ ‎ A. twenty B. thirty C. forty D. fifty ‎26. What do we know about the author’s daughters?‎ ‎ A. They helped her with housework when she attended college.‎ ‎ B. They played with her during her rehearsals.‎ ‎ C. They comforted her when she lost her husband.‎ ‎ D. They were proud of her success in the end.‎ ‎27. Which word can best describe the author’s attitude towards her studies?‎ ‎ A. Curious. B. Sympathetic. C. Persistent. D. Optimistic.‎ C Red means “stop,” green means “go,” and yellow means “hurry up and make that damn light.” Why those colors, though? Why not blue, purple, and brown? I have to admit that aside from a hunch that it had to do with wavelengths, I had no idea myself, so I decided to look into it.‎ The answer, as it turns out, is a little complicated, but makes sense. The earliest traffic signals were designed for trains, not cars. They were red and green, gas-powered, and more than a little dangerous in the event of a leak.‎ Red symbolizes danger in many cultures, which makes sense, considering it has the longest wavelength of any color on the visible spectrum, meaning you can see it from a greater distance than other colors. Red has meant stop since long before cars existed, with train signals’ use of red dating back to the days when mechanical arms lifted and lowered to indicate whether the rail ahead was clear. So that one’s simple.‎ Green’s role in lights has actually changed dramatically over time. Its wavelength is next to (and shorter than) yellow’s on the visible spectrum (光谱), meaning it’s still easier to see than any color other than red and yellow. Back in the early days of railway lights, green originally meant “caution,” while the “all-clear” light was, well, clear or white. Trains, of course, take an interminably long time to stop, and legend has it that several disastrous collisions happened after an engineer mistook stars in the night horizon for an all-clear. Thus, green became “go,” and for a long time, railways used only green and red to signal trains.‎ From the earliest days of motoring up until the mid-1900s, not all stop signs were red – many were yellow, along with yield signs, because at night it was all but impossible to see a red stop sign in a poorly lit area. The yellow stop-sign craze began in Detroit in 1915, a city that five years later installed its first electric traffic signal, which happened to include the very first amber traffic light, at the corner of Michigan and Woodward Aves.‎ But what of those weird yellow stop signs, you ask? As materials and technologies evolved, the ability to produce highly reflective signs meant that red could resume its natural spot in the sign hierarchy, leaving the still-highly-visible yellow (it’s second only to red in terms of visible wavelength) to the domain of “caution.” That’s why school zones and buses, crosswalks, and other important warnings are yellow today.‎ ‎28. Why does the author mention wavelength in the first paragraph?‎ ‎ A. To explain what it is. ‎ B. To relate it to the colours of traffic lights.‎ C. To stress the importance of it.‎ D. To encourage readers to guess its meaning.‎ ‎29. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?‎ ‎ A. Red. B. Green. C. Yellow. D. White.‎ ‎30. Green took the place of white to mean “all-clear” after __________.‎ ‎ A. cars came into existence B. mechanical arms were used in railway signaling C. several deadly train accidents happened D. Detroit installed its first electric traffic light ‎31. What is the best title for the text?‎ ‎ A. From Train to Cars B. Traffic Lights: Past & Present ‎ C. The Meanings of Red, Yellow & Green D. Wavelength & Traffic Lights D ‎ Home schooling nowadays becomes more and more popular. Home schooling is the education of children taught at home, typically by parents but sometimes by tutors, rather than in a formal setting of public or private school. The advantages of home schooling are plentiful, including the ability to create a positive learning environment without the dangers and distractions of public school. What’s more, parents could stay with their children together for more time. In addition to the advantages, home schooling also has disadvantages. ‎ First, home schooling may lead to students less communication with others. As we all know, the students who learn in public schools may find a lot of friends. When they meet difficulties, they can get help from others. But as for the students studying at home, the only persons they meet are their parents or tutors. It is certainly true that the children will have less interaction with their peers than those who attend public school on a regular basis. ‎ Second, home schooling may make children do not know how to cooperate with others. Children who learn at home always stay with their parents or tutors. When they meet difficulties, they are always turning to and depending on their parents. But the children in public schools may know how to solve the problems with their friends. ‎ What’s more, home schooling may cost much more money than public schools. If the parents want to take on the responsibility of educating their children themselves, it’s up to them to finance the entire experience. Learning materials, computer software and books that are otherwise paid for by the public school are needed, in addition to the regular school supplies all parents must purchase for their children. Considering that the parent doing the home schooling is unlikely to manage a full-time job on the side, these expenses are tough for some families to meet. ‎ ‎32. What is the main idea of the passage? ‎ A. The advantages of home schooling. ‎ B. America’s homeschooling. ‎ C. The disadvantages of home schooling. ‎ D. The comparison of school education and home education. ‎ ‎33. One of the benefits of home education is that __________. ‎ A. it creates a more negative learning environment ‎ B. parents can stay with them for more time C. children have more social abilities ‎ D. it has much lower cost ‎34. In the style of home schooling, one will __________. ‎ A. have more peer pressure ‎ B. learn more knowledge than in public or private school C. have few opportunities to have outdoor activities ‎ D. have an easier way to make friends ‎ ‎35. What conclusion can we draw according to the last paragraph? ‎ ‎ A. Home schooling is less effective. ‎ B. Home schooling can get partly financial aid from government. ‎ C. Home schooling expenses are too high for all families to bear. ‎ D. Home schooling can’t freely enjoy so much teaching facilities as public school does.‎ 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。‎ Five Signs that You Talk About Your Relationship Too Much A little intelligence is good; a lot is annoying.
