The presidents of the two universities delivered excellent speeches at the ceremonies as they used words, phrases or ways of expression that are very popular on the Internet currently. At the same time, graduation speeches by other university presidents were also under the spotlight for the same reason. Their speeches were warmly welcomed by students as they contained many fashionable words today, such as "floating clouds" ( meaning "too small and of little importance to mention") and "gelivable" (meaning " very helpful") . In the speeches , these university presidents recalled campus life together with students and finally moved all the audiences. They were very different from the usual run of lectures.     Many university presidents have changed their regular manner of addressing graduation ceremonies from an advising and preaching (说教) mode to a more fashionable and funny approach. They try to use those words popular among young people in their speeches.     In the past, university presidents' speeches were criticized for being too standard and lacking sentiment. Now , they quote fashionable words in their addresses, reflecting they are starting to adopt more everyday attitudes to students. The use of these new expressions has triggered a heated discussion. It focuses on the question of whether university presidents should speak in an informal way at graduation ceremonies.     Supporters agree with the new approach. They consider it good to build close ties with students by using the youth's own words. Opponents argue the new ways have no practical value or significance for education but are merely to please those leaving university.56. What would be the best title for this passage?    A. Should University Heads Use Terms of Youth    B. Must University Presidents Learn to Please Students    C. Must University Presidents Meet Students' Needs    D. Should University Heads Use Newly-created Words57. What can we infer from the passage?    A. University presidents consider it good to build close ties with students.    B. More and more students are eager to make speeches in public.    C. The new ways of making speeches are popular with the young.    D. University presidents have special opinions about the world.58. What dose the underlined word "triggered " in Paragraph 3 probably mean ?A. Break off     B. Set off      C. Sum up      D. Focus on 59. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Many people are likely to be influenced by the Internet.B. The writer thinks it necessary for us to follow the traditional customs.C. More and more words are changing with the development of technology.D.

A microblog differs from a traditional blog in that its content is typically much smaller, in both actual size and aggregate file size. Microblogs “allow users to exchange small elements of content such as short sentences, individual images, or video links”.As with traditional blogging, microbloggers post about topics ranging from the simple, such as "what I'm doing right now," to the thematic(主题的), such as "sports cars.” Commercial microblogs also exist, to promote (促进) websites, services and/or products, and to promote collaboration within an organization.Some microblogging services offer features such as privacy settings, which allow users to control who can read their microblogs, or other ways of publishing rights besides entering the web-based interface.(界面) These may include text messaging, instant messaging, E-mail, or digital audio.The first microblogs were known as tumblelogs. The term was invented in a blog post on April 12, 2005. However, by 2006 and 2007, the term microblog came into greater usage for such services provided by Tumblr and Twitter. Other leading social networking websites Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, and XING also have their own microblogging features, better known as status updates.Several studies, especially by Harvard Business School have tried to analyze the usage behavior of Microblogging services. Many of these studies show that for services such as Twitter, there is a small group of active users contributing to most of the activity. Twitter, Facebook and other microblogging services are also becoming a platform for marketing and public relations, with a sharp growth in the number of social media marketers. The Sysomos study shows that this specific group of marketers on Twitter is much more active than general user population, with 15% following more than 2,000 people. 64. Why is a microblog different from a traditional blog?   A. Because a microblog doesn’t include pictures, but a traditional blog does.   B. Because a microblog doesn’t include videos, but a traditional blog does.   C. Because a microblog has smaller contents than a traditional blog in actual and total file size.   D. Because a microblog can only be written on the cell-phones.65. What is the meaning of the underlined word “collaboration” in the second paragraph?   A. Competition.  B. Discussion.  C. Tradition.  D. Cooperation 66. Microblogging can protect the following privacy EXCEPT_______.   A. deciding the readers of the microblogs   B. allowing readers to publish their views   C. readers’ deleting what a microblog says   D. deciding whether readers can enter it67. We can infer from the passage that______.   A. microbloggers always post about the thematic topics instead of the simple ones   B. microblogging has developed so quickly and brought the owners more and more benefits.   C. microblogging protects both the owners’ and the readers’ privacy   D. the studies by Harward Business School have analyzed the usage of microblogging servicesD      Money, jewels and important documents are not the only valuable placed in banks these days. Some mothers store their breast milk in banks.      There’re ten breast banks set up across the United States, where mothers can donate their extra milk for other women’s babies. Experts say breast milk is the best food for babies. The World Health Organization says it is the only food babies should get during the first six months of life, in most cases. Breast milk is especially important for babies born too early. Sometimes these premature babies must stay in the hospital for many weeks.      James Cameron is a doctor who treats newborns at Lutheran Children’s Hospital in Fort Wayne, Indiana. He says breast milk is almost like medicine. Doctor James Cameron said, “The fact is that there are so many different proteins and specialized sugars in the breast milk that the mom’s able to make that help provide immunity. It’s very important for the health of the newborn.”     There are several reasons some mothers may not be able to breastfeed. Some are not able to produce enough milk. Others might be taking medicines or have medical problems that prevent the process.     Lucy Baur lives near Fort Wayne. She fed her milk to both her children and always had more milk than they needed. She wanted to donate to the Indiana Mothers Milk Bank in Indianapolis. But freezing and shipping milk can be costly. Then, a donor station opened near her home.     Milk donations in the United States work like this: Donors must be willing to provide almost three liters of breast milk. They freeze the milk and take it to the station. There, employees warm the milk and mix it with other mothers’ milk. Then, the milk is heated to kill bacteria. After that, the technicians test samples of all the milk to make sure it is safe and healthful. The milk is re-frozen and sent to the main milk bank. The milk bank transports the milk to hospitals to feed premature or sick babies. Donors are tested for diseases before any milk is accepted. They are not permitted to smoke tobacco, use illegal drugs or drink too much alcohol.68. The purpose of setting up breast milk banks is to_____.   A. store extra fresh milk for school children   B. provide milk to children who go hungry   C. help mothers donate milk to other babies   D. offer free breast milk to premature babies69. The breast milk is important for newborns because_____.   A. it protects them from any possible disease   B. it contains rich nutrients that they need   C. it is the only food that babies can eat   D. it benefits them as the best medicine70. The underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refers to____.  A. milk bank employees   B. milk bank doctors  C. milk bank nurses    D. breast milk donors71. Which of the following shows the process of milk donations in the USA?  a. The mixed breast milk is heated to kill bacteria.  b. Breast milk is donated by mothers, frozen by them and sent to the stations.  c. The breast milk samples are tested for safety reason.  d. Different donors’ breast milk is warmed and mixed together by the station.  e. The milk is frozen again and sent to the main milk bank.  A. bdace  B. bcdea   C. badec   D. cbaedE    (CNN)-China will sometimes say “no” and the world should get used to it.That message came through when China joined Russia in blocking action on Syria.“Do not mistakenly think that because China takes a careful and responsible position on the Syria issue, China will not use its veto power (否决权) or will always abstain（弃权）,” said Cui Tiankai, China’s vice foreign minister, “When China must use its veto power to say no, it will surely use it.”On Saturday, Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, called the vetoes “disgusting and shameful.”He Wenping, director of African Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said the veto shows China’s confidence in foreign affairs. “A country expressing its true opinion – that’s progress. China opposes the use of threat or force to achieve regime（政权）change in other countries. This agrees with China’s long-standing diplomacy principle. It is also not acceptable for China to rush a U.N. vote without sufficient discussion.”So why did China use its veto this time?China’s critics say China’s veto of the U.N. draft proposal(草案) was in part due to Beijing’s fear that allowing a regime change in Syria could encourage the spread of the Arab revolution and eventually threaten China.He Wenping disagrees, “China has a completely different political system and economic development path. If someone in the international community thinks that the Arab Spring will happen in China, then I think they misjudge the situation in China, exaggerate(夸大) some problems in the Chinese society and underestimate the ability of the Chinese government to control the situation in China.”72. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. China often uses its veto power on international issues.B. China never uses its veto power on international issues.C. China’s normal practice in the U.N. is to abstain rather than veto.D. China should not have veto power in the U.N.73. What is the international reaction to China’s veto on the Syria issue?A. Russia supports China      B. The U.S. feels very unhappy.C. The international community is used to it.D. The Arab countries show no concern.74. Why did China use its veto power this time?A. Because Russia and China are friends.B. Because China wants to hold an opposite stand against the U.S.C. Because China is worried about a chain-action resulting from Syria’s                         revolution.D. Because China opposes the use of threat or force to achieve regime change in other countries.75. What can we learn from the passage?A. China has a firm stand on international issues.B. The U.N. asks the whole world to get used to China saying no on international       issues.C. CNN believed that China helped Syria to fight against the U.N.D. All the member countries of the U.N. supported Susan Rice.第 Ⅱ卷（非选择题共35分）第四部分 写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节 短文填词（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）You can find all kinds of information in just  a few minutes on the Internet.
