21、The 2014 Ranking of Top Universities in Greater China (RTUGC) is released today by the Center for World-Class Universities at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. RTUGC was the first attempt to compare top research universities in four regions of Great China, namely Mainland, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.

Tsinghua University in Beijing remains No. 1 in the ranking. National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan overtakes National Taiwan University as the second. The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology climbs to 4th from 7th in 2013. Peking University remains in 5th place as it was in last year. Other Top 10 universities are: The University of Hong Kong, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, University of Science and Technology of China, National Chiao Tung University in Taiwan and Zhejiang University. The highest ranked university in Macau is University of Macau (54th).

RTUGC provides insight into the features and relative advantages of top universities in each region. Hong Kong and Macau universities show a higher degree of internationalization. The ranking highlights the fact that Mainland universities are stronger in gross(总的) performance while Hong Kong and Taiwan universities are in the lead in per capita(人均) performance. Tsinghua University in Beijing tops the list of annual research income, and The University of Hong Kong and City University of Hong Kong take the first place on research income per academic staff.

22、As earthquakes struck a swath of Turkey and Syria on Monday morning, Jihan Bayram ran out of her house in her pajamas to a parking lot in the Syrian city of Aleppo, where a crowd gathered.

Mothers warmed their babies in blankets in the freezing night air. “I thought we were going to die,” said Ms. Bayram, 33 years old, a teacher who lived in Aleppo through a decade of civil war. “Aleppo has suffered so much,” she said. “It’s like we are back in a deep crisis.”

Two powerful earthquakes and their aftershocks devastated a section of battle-scarred northern Syria that was already suffering from war, a mass exodus of its people and a grinding (无休止的)economic crisis. Northern Syria housed millions of people displaced by the country’s long civil war, including nearly two million people living in makeshift camps, more than half of whom are children.

The quakes killed about 1,400 people in the Aleppo region and several other areas of Syria, said the Syrian Civil Defense organization, known as the White Helmets, and the Health Ministry affiliated with the government. Casualty figures were expected to rise, as many people were still missing and communications lines had been damaged in the earthquakes and many areas were out of reach for aid organizations and authorities.

The days leading up to the earthquake saw heavy rain and snow in northern Syria, which made residents there even more vulnerable to a natural disaster, said Madevi Sun-Suon, spokeswoman for the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in Turkey. “This spells disaster for an area that’s already suffered,” she said.

Warehouses had been damaged and hospitals were overwhelmed? residents in Aleppo said. Citizens were gathering outside in parks, school playgrounds and in yards outside mosques(清真寺)and churches, which opened their doors to displaced families.

Even before the earthquakes, Syrians were struggling under the perhaps worst economic crisis since the civil war broke out more than a decade ago, marked by a collapsing currency, soaring prices and fuel shortages. Hospitals were running low on supplies. The U.N. said last month that 15 million of Syria’s 22 million people were in need of humanitarian aid.

【1】What does the underlined word “exodus” mean in paragraph 3?

A．Emigrant.

B．Innocence,

C．Immigrant.

D．Commitment.

【2】Which of the following is CORRECT about Syria?

A．The living cost was pretty low.

B．It was prosperous before the earthquakes.

C．The weather was fine before the earthquakes.

D．Mosques and churches helped displaced families.

【3】What is the function of paragraph 1?

A．Raising a problem for later solution.

B．A conclusion of the whole article.

C．An introduction to the main topic.

D．The background information of the story.

【4】What can we learn from paragraph 5?

A．Syria is a cursed place.

B．Syrians don’t like rainy and snowy days.

C．International groups offered help to Syria.

D．The earthquake has deepened suffering of Syrians.

23、Are you taking a summer vacation this year? If you are, have you already started preparing for your trip? Online, there are a large number of preparation tips available for summer travelers. While preparation advice and tips may be of assistance to you, they are often hard to go by. This is because not everyone spends vacations at the same location.

No matter what your vacation destination is, you will need to take the climate into consideration. If you are visiting a tropical location, you will need to bring along the appropriate clothing. While you may be expecting warm and sunny weather, it is still advised that you prepare for the worst. Raincoats and an umbrella may be a great addition to your summer clothing.

Perhaps, the most popular summer vacation destination is the beach. Each year millions of individuals and families flock to beaches. When vacationing at the beach, it is important that you bring along proper clothing and sunscreen. Many vacationers do not realize the dangers of sunbathing without sunscreen. In addition to sunscreen, you will need to make sure that you have beach towels and plenty of water on hand.

For the most part, if you forget to bring along certain supplies you can purchase replacements. Many popular vacation destinations have inflated prices. To prevent unnecessary expenses, you are encouraged to check your luggage before you leave. In addition to the above mentioned preparation tips, you must inform friends and family of where you are going. In case something happens back home, you can easily be reached.

24、New Zealand introduced its new climate change curriculum (课程) to schools in January, but not everyone is happy about it. Dairy farmer Malcolm Lumsden told reporters, “If they're going to continue to bite the hand that feeds them, they're going to lose out in the long term.”

The curriculum, which is available to any schools that choose to use it, does point to industrial agriculture as being a major source of greenhouse gas emission. It encourages students to “eat less dairy and meat, have meatless days each week, eat more fruit and vegetables, drive less, recycle and buy second-hand products when possible”. Some of these suggestions, however, are being challenged for not being scientifically sound.

But animal agriculture is widely accepted in the scientific world as a driver of emissions, particularly methane (甲烷), which warms the Earth 86 times faster than carbon dioxide. A brand new study has shown that cutting the consumption of animal products by 50% would reduce dietary-related greenhouse gas emissions by 35%. It is just one of countless other studies that have made similar conclusions.

Kids aren’t clueless (笨的). They hear about the coming global catastrophe (灾难). They deserve to be given the tools with which to comprehend it and to take action. They deserve the knowledge with which to make their own decisions. The curriculum is a response to kids “really crying out for something like this”, in the words of an official from New Zealand.

There isn't about biting the hand that feeds, but rather engaging in thoughtful debate over how humans could be fed in ways that are better and gentler for the planet. Livestock farmers shouldn't be so offended, but rather be open to this debate so as not to become outdated or irrelevant.

【1】What's Lumsden's attitude towards the new curriculum?

A．Unconcerned.

B．Disapproving.

C．Ambiguous.

D．Skeptical.

【2】What does the new curriculum include?

A．Advocating green lifestyles.

B．Blaming traditional agriculture.

C．Challenging experts' suggestions.

D．Forbidding eating dairy and meat.

【3】What does the underlined word “this" in paragraph 4 refer to?

A．A chance to get knowledge.

B．The global catastrophe.

C．The new curriculum.

D．A farming tool.

【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A．Stop Biting the Hand That Feeds One

B．A New Curriculum Favoured by New Zealanders

C．A Heated Debate Between Scientists and Farmers

D．Farmers Are Offended by a Climate Change Curriculum

26、阅读下面短文, 根据其内容写一篇 60 词左右的内容概要。

How could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments - mostly for entertainment purposes is fair and respectful?

Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals. However, most zoos remain “collections” of interesting “things” rather than protective habitats. Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural homes.

Zoos claim to educate people and save endangered species, but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals’ natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species’ name, diet, and natural range (分布区). The animals’ normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos don’t usually take care of the animals’ natural needs.

The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise. This results in unusual and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis(动物精神病). A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages. Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain.

Furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangered. Captive breeding(圈养繁殖) of endangered big cats, Asian elephants, and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wild. Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out. In fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers. Haven’t we seen enough competitions to name baby animals?

Actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons why people kill them. Instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals’ natural habitats.
