I discovered the power of fear when I became stuck to my driveway, as if my feet were crazy—glued to the cement（水泥）．As much as I tried, I could not move
- 15 -
them. The realization that my daughters were playing in Nancy's house, just one-half block away, paralyzed（麻痹） my legs, making me unable to move when I neared the end of our driveway. Dense, black smoke was rising from behind the Sycamore Maple trees on the other side of the street and was enveloping three houses, making them barely visible. Nancy's house was one of them.
I tried to call out for my daughters hoping to see them run safely to my arms, but my voice was also stuck - stuck in my throat with no intention of coming out. There I stood, helpless, paralyzed and silenced by fear, unable to protect the two little girls I loved more than even I had realized.
Although trapped in a body that couldn't move or speak, I could still hear. I could hear other mothers anxiously calling their children. I could hear a frightening silence that covered the neighborhood instead of the usual happy voices of children. And, finally, I could hear the alarm of the fire engine. As the alarm announced, "We're on our way," it instantly dissolved the crazy glue that had held my feet to the cement and it unlocked the soundproof box that had silenced my voice. I was free to make sure my daughters were safe.
As I continued down the driveway, two little girls, my two little girls, ran toward me from across the street. They had come home to tell me about the fire in the garage next to Nancy's house. Not only did my feet and voice work now, but my eyes were also in good working order and had no trouble producing tears.
24. Why was the author stuck to her driveway?
A. She was too tired to move her legs.
B. Thick black smoke blocked her view.
C. The cement on the driveway was still wet.
D. The fear for her daughters' safety struck her.
25. What made the author able to move and speak again?
A. Shouting from other anxious mothers.
B. Strange silence in the neighborhood.
C. The alarm of the coming fire engine.
D. The courage to protect her daughters.

A. She burst into tears of relief and happiness.
B. She was really thankful to see her girls saved.
C. She was too excited to believe what she saw.
D. She overcame her fear and fully recovered,
27. What is the best title for the text?

MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) are free, but without tutoring, and are open to anyone, anywhere inthe world. The courses are flexible – normally three to five hours of study a week – done at any time, short (5 to 10 weeks) and video-rich. They are also heavily dependent on crowd sourcing: you can discuss a course with fellow students through online forums(论坛), discussion boards and peer review. Students don't have to finish the courses, pass assessments or do assignments, but, if they do, they get a certificate of participation.
The Open University launched FutureLearn, the UK's answer to US platforms such as Coursera, EdX and Udacity, which have been offering MOOCs from top US universities for the past two years. The response has been incredible, with more than three million people registering worldwide. Meanwhile, in 2012, Edinburgh University became the first non-US institution to join Coursera's partnership, including 13 universities. “We already run 50 online master's degrees, so this was a logical expansion,” says Professor Jeff Haywood, Edinburgh's vice-president. “It's an investment in teaching methods research. How am I going to teach introductory philosophy to 100,000 people? That's what I call educational R&D.” He adds “If you look ahead 10 years, you'd expect all students graduating to have taken some online courses, so you've got to
- 15 -
research that. Our MOOCs are no more in competition with our degrees than a lifelong learning course because they don't carry credits.”
Cooperation is key, Haywood stresses. It is far better to offer 20-30 courses in your own areas of expertise (专门技能) and let other institutions do likewise. Professor Mike Sharples, FutureLearn's academic lead, goes further: “We've tied the elements available before into a package of courses offered by leading universities worldwide on a new software platform, with a new way of promoting it and also a new social-learning teaching method. You won't just receive an exam, but be able to discuss and mark each other's assignments.”
Bath University, one of more than 20 universities working with FutureLearn, launches its first course, Inside Cancer, next January, and regards MOOCs as a way of breaking down age barriers. "There's no reason why someone doing GCSEs should not look at our MOOCs and get quite a way through them, or someone at PhD level and beyond," says Professor Bernie Morley, expert for learning and teaching.
28. MOOCs have these features EXCEPT that_______.
A. MOOCs are free of charge for anyone
B. MOOCs can be adjusted according to people’s learning pace
C. MOOCs provide teachers’ instructions if you have some difficulty
D. MOOCs have a platform for learners to share their learning experience
29. The response to FutureLearn has been thought to be unbelievable because ______.
A. all the courses on the platform are available to anyone in the world
B. Edinburgh University became the first non-US institution to join it
C. the number of people registering in the platform is beyond expectation
D. students can get a certification of participation without passing assessments
30. What can be inferred from Professor Bernie Morley in the last paragraph?
A. People with various learning levels will probably show interest in MOOCs.
B. People at PhD level have already known everything about MOOCs.
C. Inside Cancer will be the most popular course for someone doing GCSEs.
D. MOOCs are not so competitive as lifelong learning courses due to credits.
31. The passage mainly deals with _____.
- 15 -
A. the various opinions on FutureLearn
B. the advantages of online teaching methods
C. the popularity of no-credit courses
D. the emergence of a new learning platform
D
“Heaven is where the police are English, the cooks are French, the mechanics are German, the lovers are Italian and everything is organized by the Swiss. Hell (地狱) is where the police are German, the cooks are English, the mechanics are French, the lovers are Swiss, and everything is organized by the Italians.”
Obviously the national stereotypes (模式化的思想) in this old joke are generalizations (普遍化), but such stereotypes are often said to “exist for a reason”. Is there actually a sliver (裂片) of truth in them? Not likely, an international research team now says.
“National and cultural stereotypes do play an important role in how people see themselves and others, and being aware that these are not dependable is a useful thing,” said study author Robert McCrae of the National Institute on Aging. “These are in fact unfounded stereotypes. They don’t come from looking around you,” McCrae said.
If national stereotypes aren’t rooted in real experiences, then where do they come from? One possibility is that they reflect national values, which may become known from historical events. For example, many historians have argued that the spirit of American individualism (个人主义) has its origins in the experiences of the pioneers on the Old West.
Social scientists such as psychologist Richard Robins have given several other possible explanations for stereotypes and why they may be incorrect. Robins notes that some stereotypes may have been correct at one point in history and then remained unchanged while the culture changed.
We may be “hard-wired”, to some degree, to keep incorrect stereotypes, since we are less likely to notice and remember information that is different from our
- 15 -
stereotypes. Generally, according to Robins, when we meet people who are different from our stereotypes, we see them as unique individuals rather than typical national or cultural groups.
32. The stereotype about Italians is ______.
A. romantic but disorganized B. friendly and good-tempered
C. dreamy and impractical D. strict but thoughtful
33. According to social scientists, National stereotypes are not always correct because______.
A. they are formed by individual historians
B. what was true in the past may not be true at the present
C. generalizations are made through personal experience
D. people tend to have false idea about other cultures
34. According to the research team led by McCrae, national stereotypes are ______.
A. interesting B. harmful
C. humorous D. unreliable
35. The underlined word “hard-wired” in the last paragraph probably means______.
A. forgetful B. anxious
C. fixed D. helpless

There a few key tips will help you effectively present your work and your ideas in the professional world.
1. 36
Probably the most important aspect of a presentation is what you do in advance. Preparation is vital in organizing your thoughts and ideas into a whole that makes sense to your audience. Plus, knowing the material backwards and forwards means that you can be quicker and more accurate in answering questions and will allow you to
- 15 -
ad-lib(随口说出) or go off script （ 脚本；手迹）in a personal and confident manner.
2. Practice with a friend
Along with the preparation for the presentation itself, it’s important to practice what you’re going to say ahead of time, preferably with another person who could give you feedback. Practicing in front of somebody else, instead of just a mirror, will allow you to get an objective perspective on your performance, while also giving you a bit of an audience to work with.37
3. Breathe and relax
During the actual presentation, it is important to remember to breathe and relax. This can be hard to remember when you’re in the midst of what you’re doing in front of an audience, but breathing will automatically slow you down and relax you during it.38 I would advise a couple of deep breaths before starting a new slide point, just to keep your timing right.
4. Control your body language
39 When giving a presentation, just as important as what you’re saying is how you say it. Project confidence by looking out at people in the eyes and directing your presentation to the audience instead of behind them. It can also be a helpful tip to have open and inviting body language which can create a connection with the peopleyou’re presenting to.40
A. Organize your thoughts
B. Prepare properly
C. For instance, a few hand gestures are of great help.
D. Find someone who is patient enough to sit through your talk, and comfortably supporting you, but also giving constructive criticism!
E. The most important thing is to have fun and try to show you are listening.
F. Breaths can also effectively act as pauses in the presentation and give you a chance to gather your thoughts.
G. Researchers say that the majority of communication is non-verbal, and I tend to agree.

Recently, the number of the students in our school who skip breakfast has increased greatly. In my opinion, skipping breakfast is a bad habit that should be kicked.
For one thing, breakfast offers us the energy we need for the whole morning. When we are hungry, it’s hard for us to keep our mind on our studies. For another, people who skip breakfast will consume more food at noon and in the evening. Therefore, the extra calories will be stored in our body and make us gain weight easily
In short, skipping breakfast leads to poor school performance and poor health, even a bad figure. Therefore, do not skip breakfast and have a proper breakfast every day.
