A
Suppose you’re in a rush feeling tired not paying attention to your screen and you send an email that could get you in trouble
Realization will probably set in seconds after you’ve clicked send You freeze in horrors and burn with shame
What to do Here are four common email accidents and how to recover
Clicking send too soon
Don’t waste your time trying to find out if the receivers have read it yet Write another email as swiftly as you can and send it with a brief explaining that this is the correct version and the previous version should be ignored
Writing the wrong name
The sooner you notice the better Respond quickly and briefly apologizing for your mistake Keep the tone measured don’t handle it too lightly as people can be offended especially if your error suggests a misunderstanding of their culture
Clicking reply all unintentionally
You accidentally reveal to entire company what menu choices you would prefer at the staff Christmas dinner or what holiday you’d like to take In this instance the best solution is to send a quick lighthearted apology to explain your awkwardness But it can quickly rise to something worse when everyone starts hitting reply all to join in a long and unpleasant conversation In this instance step away from your keyboard to allow everyone to calm down
Sending an offensive message to its subject
The most awkward email mistake is usually committed in anger You write an unkind message about someone intending to send it to a friend but accidentally send it to the person you’re discussing In that case ask to speak in person as soon as possible and say sorry Explain your frustrations calmly and sensibly—see it as an opportunity to hear up any difficulties you may have with this person
21 After realizing an email accident you are likely to feel _______
A curious B tired C awful D funny
22 If you have written the wrong name in an email it is best to ________
A apologies in a serious manner B tell the receiver to ignore the error
C learn to write the name correctly D send a short notice to everyone
23 What is the passage mainly about
A Defining email errors B Handling email accidents
C Reducing email mistakes D Improving email writing
B
Researchers at Birminghamfound about one in five teenagers now have some degree of hearing damage The researchers did not say why hearing loss has risen but other experts have strong suspicions One likely criminal they say is MP3 players
An MP3 player can be dangerous to hearing when its decibel (分贝) level is turned up too high Highdecibel sounds can damage nerve endings called hair cells If a sound is loud enough the damage can be permanent A loud sound can shake the membrane (薄膜) on which the hair cells sit like an earthquake That shake can break or even uproot hair cells When that happens the hair cells are finished Human ears cannot regrow hair cells Therefore when listening to an MP3 player set a volume limit and avoid exposure to loud sounds
On the other hand the loudness of today’s music may not be totally under your control Music companies have been purposely turning up the volume It’s a trend called the fight for loudness
Play a CD from the 1990s Then play a newly released tune Don’t touch the volume control You’ll probably notice that the new CD sounds louder than the old one Why Sound engineers who create CDs are using dynamic range compression a technology that makes the quiet parts of a song louder and the loud parts quieter The overall effect of compression is a louder recording
Many musicians and sound engineers aren’t pleased They say that compression is driving down the quality of today’s music making it sound flat and blaring Gray Hobish a sound engineer explains that music should be a combination of loudness and softness But music companies want to make music louder so it will stand out That’s important in the competition among recording companies
What about listeners Many teenagers listen to music on the go in noisy places and through headphones all of which reduce sound quality So young listeners may not notice the poorer quality of modern recordings To their ears says Hobish the music sounds fine And they are not aware of the hidden threat of the music they are enjoying
24 The phrase like an earthquake in Para 2 aims to explain
A that volume can strongly affect parts of the ear
B how our body is unable to regrow hair cells
C how much damage the ear can avoid
D that hair cells are easily damaged
25 What can we learn about today’s music business
A New technology improves the quality of music
B Young listeners today prefer louder sound
C Music companies sacrifice quality for loudness
D Sound engineers face tough competition
26 What is probably the best title for the passage
A The Loudness War B Are You a Good Listener
C The Damaged Ears D Your Hearing Is Going
C
One of the most practical parts of my college education (and my entire education) was my student teaching For six months I gradually took over until I was completely teaching the class It wasn’t quite the same as a real teaching job However it was definitely a good way to get some real world experience School should prepare students for the job market Therefore are our kids receiving enough practical education so they can be successful in the real world
When teaching kids it’s important to be able to have a purpose for everything we teach As parents and teachers we should ask ourselves what can this be used for when kids enter the job market I can think about a college class I took where we had to analyze various movies I honestly can’t think of how analyzing Rambo benefited me Perhaps I would have been better off taking an auto shop class or a carpentry class After all I can’t change a tire and I’m completely incapable when it comes to using power tools
Perhaps learning how to think is not enough Rather than focusing on standardized tests so much schools need to give students more practical application Cooking is actually helpful when teaching children about fractions measuring and multiplication Students can learn how to double a recipe and see the relationship between 14 and 13 cup As kids get into the upper grades money management should be a focus Making a budget and learning about interest rates are good ideas I used to give my students real restaurant menus and a budget They had to come up with what they could buy including the tip with a set amount of money
It appears that some high schools are doing a better job of preparing students for the real world For instance according to NBC News in Michigan the Utica Center for Science and Industry uses technology to prepare students for automotive and military industry jobs The program aims to combine students’ skills with employers’ needs Students take optional courses in areas such as multimedia engineering or mechatronics and also take part in activities where there isn’t one right answer For me giving kids the opportunity to create is the key point So far the program is showing success
According to a Gallup poll fiftyseven percent of American workers say the type of work they do generally does not require a bachelor’s or a more advanced degree Therefore if a college degree isn’t helping the majority of Americans at their job then what is required Many jobs require a skill Electricians and contractors have specific skills that allow them to complete their jobs Whether students go to a fouryear school or not I think it’s important for everyone to have a skill After all a Forbes article states that half of college graduates are working at jobs that don’t require a degree Clearly being smart and qualified isn’t always enough to make it in the real world
I’m going to encourage my kids to go to college and earn a degree I’m also going to encourage them to think outside of the box and give them a practical education too After all you never know where life will take you
27 The author mentions his student teaching in order to ______
A show his experiences in teaching B tell us the importance of experiences
C introduce the topic of the text D advise us to learn well at school
28 What does the underlined word Rambo in the second paragraph refer to
A Name of a film B A film producer C A kind of plants D Name of a subject
29 What does the Gallup poll show us
A More and more Americans hate to go to school
B American schools don’t prepare their students for their jobs
C Most of the rich Americans don’t graduate from colleges
D Most of American jobs do not require high degrees
30 What’s the topic of this passage
A No one is too sure about his or her own life
B More practical education should be given to students
C college degree is more important than anything else
D Half of college graduates don’t live on their degree
D
The fence was long and high He put the brush into the whitewash and moved it along the top of the fence He repeated the operation He felt he could not continue and sat down
He knew that his friends would arrive soon with all kinds of interesting plans for the day
They would walk past him and laugh They would make jokes about his having to work on a beautiful summer Saturday The thought burned him like fire
He put his hand into his pockets and took out all that he owned Perhaps he could find some way to pay someone to do the whitewashing for him But there was nothing of value in his pockets—nothing that could buy even half an hour of freedom So he put the bits of toys back into his pockets and gave up the idea
At this dark and hopeless moment a wonderful idea came to him It filled his mind with a great bright light Calmly he picked up the brush and started again to whitewash
While Tom was working Ben Rogers appeared Ben was eating an apple as he walked along the street As he walked along it he was making noises like the sound of a riverboat First he shouted loudly like a boat captain Then he said DingDongDongDingDongDong again and again like the bell of a riverboat And he made other strange noises When he came close to Tom he stopped
Tom went on whitewashing He did not look at Ben Ben stared a moment and then said Hello I’m going swimming but you can’t go can you
No answer Tom moved his brush carefully along the fence and looked at the result with the eye of an artist Ben came nearer Tom’s mouth watered for the apple but he kept on working
Ben saidHello old fellow you’ve got to work hey？
Tom turned suddenly and said Why it’s you Ben I wasn’t noticing
Say—I’m going swimming Don’t you wish you could But of course you’d rather work—wouldn’t you Of course you would
Tom looked at the boy a bit and said What do you call work？
Why isn’t that work？
Tom went back to his whitewashing and answered carelessly
Well maybe it is and maybe it isn’t All I know is it suits Tom Sawyer
Oh come now you don’t mean to say that you like it？
The brush continued to move
Like it Well I don’t see why I shouldn’t like it Does a boy get a chance to whitewash a fence every day？
Ben stopped eating his apple Tom moved his brush back and forth stepped back to look at the result added a touch here and there and stepped back again Ben watched every move and got more and more interested Soon he said Say Tom let me whitewash a little
Tom thought for a moment and was about to agree but he changed his mind
No—no—it won’t do Ben You see Aunt Polly wants this fence to be perfect It has got to be done very carefully I don’t think there is one boy in a thousand maybe two thousand that can do it well enough
No—is that so Oh come now—let me just try Only just a little
Ben I’d like to but if it isn’t done right I’m afraid Aunt Polly …
Oh I’ll be careful Now let me try Say—I’ll give you the core of my apple
Well here—No Ben now don’t I’m afraid …
I’ll give you all of it
Tom gave up the brush with unwillingness on his face but joy in his heart And while Ben worked at the fence in the hot sun Tom sat under a tree eating the apple and planning how to get more help There were enough boys Each one came to laugh but remained to whitewash By the time Ben was tired Tom sold the next chance to Billy for a kite and when Billy was tired Johnny bought it for a dead rat—and so on hour after hour And when the middle of the afternoon came Tom had won many treasures
And he had not worked He had had a nice idle time all the time with plenty of company and the fence had been whitewashed three times If he hadn’t run out of whitewash Tom would have owned everything belonging to his friends
He had discovered a great law of human action namely in order to make a man or a boy want a thing it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to get
31 How many characters are mentioned in this story
A 4 B 5 C 6 D 7
32 Why did Tom take all his bits of toys out of his pockets
A Because he was tired and wanted to play with his toys
B Because he wanted to give his toys to his friends
C Because he wanted to throw his toys away
D Because he wanted to know if he could buy help with his toys
33 Tom was about to agree to let Ben whitewash when he changed his mind because ________
A Tom wanted to do the whitewashing by himself
B Tom planned to make Ben give up his apple first
C Tom was unwilling to let Ben do the whitewashing
D Tom was afraid Ben would do the whitewashing better
34 We can learn from the passage that ________
A Tom was interested in whitewashing the fence
B Tom had a lot of friends who are ready to help others
C Tom was unwilling to whitewash the fence but he managed to let other boys do it for him
D Tom was good at whitewashing the fence so he looked at the result of work with the eye of
an artist
35 What made Ben Rogers eagerly give up his apple and offer to brush the fence for Tom
A His curiosity about Tom’s brushing job B His warm heart and kindness to friends
C Tom’s threat D Aunt Polly’s idea

Anger seems simple when we are feeling it but the causes of anger are various Knowing these causes can make us examine our behavior and correct bad habits The main reasons we get angry are triggering events personality traits (特征) and our assessment of situations 36
Triggering events for anger are so many that to describe them all would take hundreds of pages However here are some examples being cut off in traffic a deadline approaching experiencing physical pain and much more 37 The reason why someone is triggered by something and others are not is often due to one's personal history and psychological traits
Each person no matter who they are has psychological imbalances People who have personality traits that connect with competitiveness and low upset tolerance are much more likely to get angry 38 Also sometimes preanger does not have to do with a lasting condition but rather a temporary state before a triggering event has occurred
39 Sometimes even routine occurrences become sources of preanger or anger itself Sometimes ignorance and negative outlooks on situations can create anger
40 However anger can easily turn violent and it is best to know the reasons for anger to appear in order to prevent its presence With these main reasons in mind we can evaluate our level of anger throughout the day and prevent cases of outbursts by comprehending the reasons for our feelings
A Our attitude and viewpoint on situations can create anger within us as well
B But some types of situations can help us to get rid of the occurrence of anger
C Anger is rarely looked upon as a beneficial character trait and is usually advised to reduce it
D Anger is a particularly strong feeling and maybe people think that they have reasons to feel angry
E Having these personality traits implies the preanger state where anger is in the background of your mind
F Understanding these reasons will control our own anger if we are willing to evaluate ourselves with a critical eye
G Not everyone acts the same in response to events and that is why what triggers one person may or may not trigger another

Dear Tom
How is everything going I feel terribly sorry for missing the chance of answering your letter in time You know I’ve been preparing for the final exams these days so I forgot to write back In your letter you asked me for my plans on summer vacation Now I’m writing to tell you some specific details
Overall three things will make my summer vacation meaningful To start with doing a parttime job is my dream and I intend to work as a salesman because not only can I earn money by myself but also it will broaden my horizons In addition it is a fabulous choice to visit some scenic spots such as Mount Tai during the vacation in order to enjoy appealing scenery and make more friends What’s more doing voluntary work I think will make a great contribution to the society which is able to enrich my life
I sincerely apologize again for my mistake By the way what’s your plan to spend your summer vacation I’m looking forward to your reply
Yours
Li Hua

Sending an offensive message to its subject
The most awkward email mistake is usually committed in anger You write an unkind message about someone intending to send it to a friend but accidentally send it to the person you’re discussing In that case ask to speak in person as soon as possible and say sorry Explain your frustrations calmly and sensibly—see it as an opportunity to hear up any difficulties you may have with this person

Researchers at Birminghamfound about one in five teenagers now have some degree of hearing damage The researchers did not say why hearing loss has risen but other experts have strong suspicions One likely criminal they say is MP3 players
An MP3 player can be dangerous to hearing when its decibel (分贝) level is turned up too high Highdecibel sounds can damage nerve endings called hair cells If a sound is loud enough the damage can be permanent A loud sound can shake the membrane (薄膜) on which the hair cells sit like an earthquake That shake can break or even uproot hair cells When that happens the hair cells are finished Human ears cannot regrow hair cells Therefore when listening to an MP3 player set a volume limit and avoid exposure to loud sounds
On the other hand the loudness of today’s music may not be totally under your control Music companies have been purposely turning up the volume It’s a trend called the fight for loudness
Play a CD from the 1990s Then play a newly released tune Don’t touch the volume control You’ll probably notice that the new CD sounds louder than the old one Why Sound engineers who create CDs are using dynamic range compression a technology that makes the quiet parts of a song louder and the loud parts quieter The overall effect of compression is a louder recording
Many musicians and sound engineers aren’t pleased They say that compression is driving down the quality of today’s music making it sound flat and blaring Gray Hobish a sound engineer explains that music should be a combination of loudness and softness But music companies want to make music louder so it will stand out That’s important in the competition among recording companies
What about listeners Many teenagers listen to music on the go in noisy places and through headphones all of which reduce sound quality So young listeners may not notice the poorer quality of modern recordings To their ears says Hobish the music sounds fine And they are not aware of the hidden threat of the music they are enjoying
24 The phrase like an earthquake in Para 2 aims to explain
A that volume can strongly affect parts of the ear
B how our body is unable to regrow hair cells
C how much damage the ear can avoid
D that hair cells are easily damaged
25 What can we learn about today’s music business
A New technology improves the quality of music
B Young listeners today prefer louder sound
C Music companies sacrifice quality for loudness
D Sound engineers face tough competition
26 What is probably the best title for the passage
A The Loudness War B Are You a Good Listener
C The Damaged Ears D Your Hearing Is Going
C
One of the most practical parts of my college education (and my entire education) was my student teaching For six months I gradually took over until I was completely teaching the class It wasn’t quite the same as a real teaching job However it was definitely a good way to get some real world experience School should prepare students for the job market Therefore are our kids receiving enough practical education so they can be successful in the real world
When teaching kids it’s important to be able to have a purpose for everything we teach As parents and teachers we should ask ourselves what can this be used for when kids enter the job market I can think about a college class I took where we had to analyze various movies I honestly can’t think of how analyzing Rambo benefited me Perhaps I would have been better off taking an auto shop class or a carpentry class After all I can’t change a tire and I’m completely incapable when it comes to using power tools
Perhaps learning how to think is not enough Rather than focusing on standardized tests so much schools need to give students more practical application Cooking is actually helpful when teaching children about fractions measuring and multiplication Students can learn how to double a recipe and see the relationship between 14 and 13 cup As kids get into the upper grades money management should be a focus Making a budget and learning about interest rates are good ideas I used to give my students real restaurant menus and a budget They had to come up with what they could buy including the tip with a set amount of money
It appears that some high schools are doing a better job of preparing students for the real world For instance according to NBC News in Michigan the Utica Center for Science and Industry uses technology to prepare students for automotive and military industry jobs The program aims to combine students’ skills with employers’ needs Students take optional courses in areas such as multimedia engineering or mechatronics and also take part in activities where there isn’t one right answer For me giving kids the opportunity to create is the key point So far the program is showing success
According to a Gallup poll fiftyseven percent of American workers say the type of work they do generally does not require a bachelor’s or a more advanced degree Therefore if a college degree isn’t helping the majority of Americans at their job then what is required Many jobs require a skill Electricians and contractors have specific skills that allow them to complete their jobs Whether students go to a fouryear school or not I think it’s important for everyone to have a skill After all a Forbes article states that half of college graduates are working at jobs that don’t require a degree Clearly being smart and qualified isn’t always enough to make it in the real world
I’m going to encourage my kids to go to college and earn a degree I’m also going to encourage them to think outside of the box and give them a practical education too After all you never know where life will take you
27 The author mentions his student teaching in order to ______
A show his experiences in teaching B tell us the importance of experiences
C introduce the topic of the text D advise us to learn well at school
28 What does the underlined word Rambo in the second paragraph refer to
A Name of a film B A film producer C A kind of plants D Name of a subject
29 What does the Gallup poll show us
A More and more Americans hate to go to school
B American schools don’t prepare their students for their jobs
C Most of the rich Americans don’t graduate from colleges
D Most of American jobs do not require high degrees
30 What’s the topic of this passage
A No one is too sure about his or her own life
B More practical education should be given to students
C college degree is more important than anything else
D Half of college graduates don’t live on their degree
D
The fence was long and high He put the brush into the whitewash and moved it along the top of the fence He repeated the operation He felt he could not continue and sat down
He knew that his friends would arrive soon with all kinds of interesting plans for the day
They would walk past him and laugh They would make jokes about his having to work on a beautiful summer Saturday The thought burned him like fire
He put his hand into his pockets and took out all that he owned Perhaps he could find some way to pay someone to do the whitewashing for him But there was nothing of value in his pockets—nothing that could buy even half an hour of freedom So he put the bits of toys back into his pockets and gave up the idea
At this dark and hopeless moment a wonderful idea came to him It filled his mind with a great bright light Calmly he picked up the brush and started again to whitewash
While Tom was working Ben Rogers appeared Ben was eating an apple as he walked along the street As he walked along it he was making noises like the sound of a riverboat First he shouted loudly like a boat captain Then he said DingDongDongDingDongDong again and again like the bell of a riverboat And he made other strange noises When he came close to Tom he stopped
Tom went on whitewashing He did not look at Ben Ben stared a moment and then said Hello I’m going swimming but you can’t go can you
No answer Tom moved his brush carefully along the fence and looked at the result with the eye of an artist Ben came nearer Tom’s mouth watered for the apple but he kept on working
Ben saidHello old fellow you’ve got to work hey？
Tom turned suddenly and said Why it’s you Ben I wasn’t noticing
Say—I’m going swimming Don’t you wish you could But of course you’d rather work—wouldn’t you Of course you would
Tom looked at the boy a bit and said What do you call work？
Why isn’t that work？
Tom went back to his whitewashing and answered carelessly
Well maybe it is and maybe it isn’t All I know is it suits Tom Sawyer
Oh come now you don’t mean to say that you like it？
The brush continued to move
Like it Well I don’t see why I shouldn’t like it Does a boy get a chance to whitewash a fence every day？
Ben stopped eating his apple Tom moved his brush back and forth stepped back to look at the result added a touch here and there and stepped back again Ben watched every move and got more and more interested Soon he said Say Tom let me whitewash a little
Tom thought for a moment and was about to agree but he changed his mind
No—no—it won’t do Ben You see Aunt Polly wants this fence to be perfect It has got to be done very carefully I don’t think there is one boy in a thousand maybe two thousand that can do it well enough
No—is that so Oh come now—let me just try Only just a little
Ben I’d like to but if it isn’t done right I’m afraid Aunt Polly …
Oh I’ll be careful Now let me try Say—I’ll give you the core of my apple
Well here—No Ben now don’t I’m afraid …
I’ll give you all of it
Tom gave up the brush with unwillingness on his face but joy in his heart And while Ben worked at the fence in the hot sun Tom sat under a tree eating the apple and planning how to get more help There were enough boys Each one came to laugh but remained to whitewash By the time Ben was tired Tom sold the next chance to Billy for a kite and when Billy was tired Johnny bought it for a dead rat—and so on hour after hour And when the middle of the afternoon came Tom had won many treasures
And he had not worked He had had a nice idle time all the time with plenty of company and the fence had been whitewashed three times If he hadn’t run out of whitewash Tom would have owned everything belonging to his friends
He had discovered a great law of human action namely in order to make a man or a boy want a thing it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to get
31 How many characters are mentioned in this story
A 4 B 5 C 6 D 7
32 Why did Tom take all his bits of toys out of his pockets
A Because he was tired and wanted to play with his toys
B Because he wanted to give his toys to his friends
C Because he wanted to throw his toys away
D Because he wanted to know if he could buy help with his toys
33 Tom was about to agree to let Ben whitewash when he changed his mind because ________
A Tom wanted to do the whitewashing by himself
B Tom planned to make Ben give up his apple first
C Tom was unwilling to let Ben do the whitewashing
D Tom was afraid Ben would do the whitewashing better
34 We can learn from the passage that ________

B Tom had a lot of friends who are ready to help others
C Tom was unwilling to whitewash the fence but he managed to let other boys do it for him
D Tom was good at whitewashing the fence so he looked at the result of work with the eye of

Anger seems simple when we are feeling it but the causes of anger are various Knowing these causes can make us examine our behavior and correct bad habits The main reasons we get angry are triggering events personality traits (特征) and our assessment of situations 36
Triggering events for anger are so many that to describe them all would take hundreds of pages However here are some examples being cut off in traffic a deadline approaching experiencing physical pain and much more 37 The reason why someone is triggered by something and others are not is often due to one's personal history and psychological traits
Each person no matter who they are has psychological imbalances People who have personality traits that connect with competitiveness and low upset tolerance are much more likely to get angry 38 Also sometimes preanger does not have to do with a lasting condition but rather a temporary state before a triggering event has occurred
39 Sometimes even routine occurrences become sources of preanger or anger itself Sometimes ignorance and negative outlooks on situations can create anger
40 However anger can easily turn violent and it is best to know the reasons for anger to appear in order to prevent its presence With these main reasons in mind we can evaluate our level of anger throughout the day and prevent cases of outbursts by comprehending the reasons for our feelings
A Our attitude and viewpoint on situations can create anger within us as well
B But some types of situations can help us to get rid of the occurrence of anger
C Anger is rarely looked upon as a beneficial character trait and is usually advised to reduce it
D Anger is a particularly strong feeling and maybe people think that they have reasons to feel angry
E Having these personality traits implies the preanger state where anger is in the background of your mind
F Understanding these reasons will control our own anger if we are willing to evaluate ourselves with a critical eye
G Not everyone acts the same in response to events and that is why what triggers one person may or may not trigger another

Dear Tom
How is everything going I feel terribly sorry for missing the chance of answering your letter in time You know I’ve been preparing for the final exams these days so I forgot to write back In your letter you asked me for my plans on summer vacation Now I’m writing to tell you some specific details
Overall three things will make my summer vacation meaningful To start with doing a parttime job is my dream and I intend to work as a salesman because not only can I earn money by myself but also it will broaden my horizons In addition it is a fabulous choice to visit some scenic spots such as Mount Tai during the vacation in order to enjoy appealing scenery and make more friends What’s more doing voluntary work I think will make a great contribution to the society which is able to enrich my life
I sincerely apologize again for my mistake By the way what’s your plan to spend your summer vacation I’m looking forward to your reply
Yours
Li Hua
