Young people in the United States do not have a strong understanding of the world and their place in it.

Two U. S.—based groups, the Council on Foreign Relations and the National Geographic, Society commissioned an online survey earlier this year. They wanted to know what young people educated in American colleges knew about geography, U. S. foreign policy, recent international events, and economics.

The survey was given to over 1,200 Americans between the ages of 18 and 26 years. All of them presently attending, or having previously graduated from, a 2-or 4-year college or university.

The average test score, out of 75 total possible answers, was 55 percent. The study identifies a few important problems. For example, only 30 percent knew that the only part of the U. S. government that can declare war is Congress. Only 60% of those taking the survey could identify Brazil on a world map.

Part of the problem, argue the organizers of the survey, is the internet. They say it is becoming harder to find high-quality information about world events amongst all the fake news and trivia which swamp the web. Forty-three percent of those questioned said they read about the news on Facebook.

Another problem is that most college courses do not require students to learn about international issues. If such information is not required, Richard Haass from the Council on Foreign Relations said, then the United States could have leaders like Gary Johnson. He was a recent presidential candidate who did not know about the Syrian city of Aleppo when a reporter asked him about it.

The survey results were not all bad. The young people also demonstrated a good understanding of climate change and renewable energy. And the majority of them said that international issues were becoming more important to them.

Haass says these findings suggest the need to find was to get good information to students, both in school and online. To help, the Council on Foreign Relations is creating a new program called CFR Campus, designed to help build knowledge about global issues.

4. What can we learn about the survey?

A. All the participants were recent university graduates

B. It was an online survey conducted by two US universities

C. Its aim is to figure out what the young people know about America

D. It was given to over 1,200 American people aged from 18 to 26

5. What’s one reason survey organizers give for young people’s lack of knowledge?

A. Young people are unwilling to travel abroad

B. The sources from which they get their information

C. The US university system is of poor quality

D. Their lack of interest in knowing more about the world

6. According to the survey, what topic did the young Americans understand best?

A. Environmental matters    B. Geographic information

C. Foreign relations    D. Government organizations

7. In which column of a newspaper could we find this article?

A. Economics    B. Entertainment

C. Politics    D. Education

Many Shopping malls now have special areas that offer shoppers their first chance to experience “VR technology”. You may have entered one out of curiosity, or you may think it is just another piece of useless technology. Whatever your opinion, VR, or virtual(虚拟的)reality, is going to become a big part of our lives very soon.

2016 saw the introduction of many fancy products in the world of VR, including Microsoft's HoloLens and Samsung's Gear VR. All of them offer an exciting look at the new realities” and opportunities that VR brings.

These, however, are the early days of a technology that is expected to go from strength to strength. And 2017 looks like it is going to be the year in which VR technology really takes off.

For a start, using VR will become more normal in 2017. Microsoft and Intel have already discussed their plans for simpler and less expensive VR headsets.

The idea of VR will stop being a sci-fi (science-fiction) idea, and instead it will turn into an industry of real products used as ways to show off imagination.” said Andrew, a designer at US VR Company, Survios.

It is also expected that VR products will play a part in more common and real-life fields like fashion and film. For example, to enjoy the atmosphere and energy of the front row experience at a fashion show, fans will no longer have to go along in the flesh. Instead people will be able to enjoy the experience by just wearing a VR headset at home.

You can also expect VR mirrors and fitting-rooms sooner rather than later. '' This is an especially good opportunity for brands looking to offer very personalized experiences.'' said Roy DeYoung from US-based marketing agency, PMX.

As time goes on, there will be less discussion about whether people will accept VR technology. It will simply be a discussion of when.

8. Why do many shopping malls have areas for VR experiences?

A. To collect shoppers' opinions.

B. To meet the demands of shoppers.

C. To introduce the new technology to shoppers.

D. To entertain shoppers with new technology.

9. The underlined phrase “in the flesh” can be replaced by_____________.

A. in time    B. in person

C. in line    D. in order

10. What can we learn about VR products from the passage?

A. They are cheap for the time being

B. They are being used almost everywhere.

C. They won't be accepted for many years.

D. They will meet more personal demands.

11. What may be the best title for the passage?

A. VR Takes over Fashion

B. VR Mirror are around the corner

C. VR is Becoming Real

D. VR Meets our Life Goal

8. 推理判断题。根据Many Shopping malls now have special areas that offer shoppers their first chance to experience “VR technology”.可知许多大型购物中心设有虚拟现实技术体验区,是因为他们想要把这种新的技术介绍给顾客,所以选C

9. 词义猜测题。根据Instead people will be able to enjoy the experience by just wearing a VR headset at home.可知这里意思是粉丝们不用再亲自前往,“in the flesh”意思是亲自,所以选B

Can training Your Working Memory Make You Smarter?

We would all like to increase our cognitive(认知的)ability beyond the limits set by Mother Nature. So it’s no wonder that brain-training programmes—which typically focus on training our working memory—are a multibillion-dollar industry. But can this kind of training really make us smarter?

Cognitive training sees the brain as a kind of muscle that can be made stronger with the right kind of practice. It consists of tasks or games carried out on computers or smart phones. Despite much research, there has so far been no agreement about its effectiveness. Some think that cognitive training increases a broad range of cognitive abilities, while others less optimistic.

Yet we do know that some cognitive skills, such as working memory and intelligence, tend to go together and are predictors of real-life skills such as work performance. Thus, training one cognitive skill might lead to an improvement in many other cognitive and non-cognitive skills. That is exactly the underlying hypothesis(假设)on which working-memory training is based.

To test this hypothesis, we examined all the studies about working-memory training we could find with normally developing children: 26 experiments and 1,601 total participants. Children represent an ideal test group: during childhood, skills are still at the beginning of their development. Thus, cognitive training is more likely to succeed with children than adults.

The results were very clear. Working-memory training did not show any effect on children’s fluid intelligence, a person’s ability to solve new problems and adapt to new situations. It didn’t influence their academic achievement or other cognitive abilities, either. The only reliable effect was that children got better at what they trained to do. No more, no less. So performing working-memory tasks does seem to make you better at doing them. Nonetheless, the fact that participants got better at such tasks does not necessarily mean that their working-memory ability increased. They may just have learnt how to perform that particular type of task.

The results do indicate that the use of working-memory training programs as an educational tool is fruitless. More generally, together with other research, the results contribute to disproving cognitive training companies promises of a better brain.

The results have even more important implications theoretically. They question the hypothesis that training general cognitive mechanisms can affect other cognitive or real-life skills. Beyond working-memory training, other recent studies have shown the improving cognitive skills outside music-including academic skills.

However, these negative results must not discourage us from training our cognitive and non-cognitive skills. We just have to be aware of the actual limitations of such practice in areas outside what we are actually training. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do it-the most efficient way to develop a skill is, after all, to train that skill.

12. To find out the effect of working memory training, the author ________.

A. made some scientific studies

B. reviewed the previous research

C. compared different test groups

D. got some children involved in the experiment

13. Children joining in the experiments were able to __________.

A. do better in the field where they are trained

B. obtain greater academic achievements

C. adjust to new situations quickly

D. succeed when they deal with real life problems

14. What is the author’s attitude toward the cognitive training?

A. Pessimistic    B. Disapproving

C. Objective    D. Optimistic

15. Cognitive training is likely to _______ according to the passage.

A. discover the secrets of human minds

B. make one’s brain stronger by way of practice

C. earn a good name for the training company

D. bring much profit to the training companies

Getting rid of the bad habit of procrastination(拖延症)is now my goal in life. My first step was to set small targets what can be reached realistically. For example, I plan to set a timetable for my study. So after school, I will put finishing homework in the last place. Additionally, I will make a list of my important task including their due dates but follow my schedule strictly. I will avoid find excuses for putting them off. At same time, I will ask for my friends and parents to help me. By achieving this small targets, I have confident that I will overcome procrastination.

答案解析:
答案及解析:

知识点:短文改错

文章大意:作者讲述了现在改掉拖延的坏习惯是他的生活目标,并且讲述了他为改掉坏习惯所准备采取的措施。

1.was→is,考查时态。句意:我的第一步是设定一些能实际达到的小目标。全篇用的时态都是一般现在时及将来时,而第二句却出现了一个过去时,根据句意,故把was改为is

2. what→that/which,考查定语从句。句意:我的第一步是设定一些能实际达到的小目标。先行词是small targets在从句中作主语,而what不能用于定语从句,故把what改为whichthat

3. last→first,考查语境理解。既然是要治愈拖延症,当然是把完成作业放在第一位。故把last改为first

4. task→tasks,考查名词单复数。句意:我会列一个重要任务的清单。任务不只一个,故把task改为tasks

5. but→and,考查连词。列清单然后按照时间表行事。是顺承关系,不是转折关系,故把but改为and

6. find→finding,固定搭配:avoid doing sth避免做某事。故把find改为finding

7. same前面加the,固定词组:at the same time同时,故在same前面加the

8. 删除ask后面的for,固定结构:ask sb to do sth要求某人做某事,这里表示我会要求朋友和父母帮助我,故删除for

9. this→these,句意:通过实现这些小的目标。targets是复数,故把this改为these

10. confident→confidence have是谓语动词,故后面用名词作宾语,故把confident改为confidence

【名师点睛】

My first step was to set small targets what can be reached realistically. 此句包含一个定语从句,targets是先行词,在句中作主语,指物,故要用which/that引导定语从句;而what不能用于定语从句,因为what相当于先行词+关系代词,所以其只能引导名词性从句。

Dear Peter,

I’m Li Hua. Thanks a lot for your invitation to your cultural exchange program. I really want to accept it and take this opportunity to introduce the traditional Chinese painting to foreign friends, but I’m sorry to tell you that I can’t. the reason is that I am occupied preparing performance for the coming National Day.

I strongly recommended my friend Li Ming, who is the most suitable person to take my place next week. He began to learn paining at an early age and has a good knowledge of the traditional Chinese painting, which, along with his active personality and perfect spoken English, will help make your activity a success.

Sorry again for any inconvenience caused by my absence.

本题考查提纲类作文。首先审题,假定你是李华,你的美国笔友Peter邀请你下周去他们学校参加文化交流活动,并向外国朋友介绍中国的传统绘画。但你忙于准备国庆节演出,不得不谢绝。请根据下面要点用英语写一封信,内容包括:1.谢绝邀请及理由;2.推荐朋友李明参加,并说明原因。其次要确定时态用一般现在时。在写作过程中,上下文意思要连贯,符合逻辑关系,一定要契合题目所给出的信息,不要出现偏题问题。尽量使用自己熟悉的单词句式,同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高级句型使文章显得更有文采。

【亮点说明】这篇短文使用了一些高级句型。例如the reason is that I am occupied preparing performance for the coming National Day.这里含有一个表语从句。I strongly recommended my friend Li Ming, who is the most suitable person to take my place next week.这里含有一个定语从句。He began to learn paining at an early age and has a good knowledge of the traditional Chinese painting, which, along with his active personality and perfect spoken English, will help make your activity a success. 这里含有一个定语从句。
