26、   For over 40 years, gaokao has not only affected individual students, but also has had a significant impact on national development.

In a move to fix talent shortages in the high-end chip, software design, intelligent technology, new materials and advanced manufacturing and social sciences, the Ministry of Education (MOE) announced a new college enrollment plan — called the “strengthening basic disciplines plan (强基计划)” — that will start this year.

The pilot plan has been rolled out in the country’s top 36 universities. By May 13, all schools had released their distinctive enrollment plans, encouraging senior high students with special talents to sign up.

Before the end of May, students can apply to one of the 36 participating universities. Enrollment policies vary by university, with admission limits set from dozens of students to 200.

These universities also detailed their recruitment procedure.

After the results of gaokao are released, schools will release lists of qualifying students, who either excel in gaokao, or have won first or second prizes in Olympiads with gaokao scores at least higher than the first round of register lines. These applicants will then receive additional tests and interviews. The final enrollment decision is heavily based on the gaokao score, which will remain the most important criterion (标准), accounting for more than 85 percent of the final result, says MOE.

The universities have announced that they will also consider physical tests as a reference for submission (录取), according to China Youth Daily.

Once the students are enrolled, they are expecting an intensive educational program. For example, Tsinghua University has set up five schools, offering courses in chemical biology, information and computing science, theory and applied mechanics as their dominant disciplines. The university’s goal is to “put admitted students in small, independent classes with the best and most specific teaching resources and learning environments for their discipline”, according to Yu Xiaoxiao, the director of admission at Tsinghua University.

Compared to the previous independent university enrollment scheme (高校自主招生计划), under which some students could either gain admission without taking gaokao or be awarded bonus points in the exam, “the new plan positively facilitates diverse, efficient and scientific progress in Chinese college admissions,” noted China.org.

【1】What’s the purpose of the passage?

A.To affect individual students with talents.

B.To inform people of a new education project.

C.To instruct high schools to improve education quality.

D.To help the college-bound high school students with exarms.

【2】Which of the following is the function of gaokao according to the passage?

A.It helps students to get admitted to certain programs.

B.It fixes talent shortages in the high technology.

C.It greatly influences national development.

D.It strengthens college enrollment plans.

【3】What do we know about the “strengthening basic disciplines plan”?

A.Each applicant can apply to the 36 participating universities.

B.The final enrollment decision has nothing to do with the gaokao score.

C.The applicants will receive additional tests and interviews after gaokao.

D.Each university can admit 200 students with the same enrollment policy.

【4】Where is this passage probably taken from?

A.A newspaper. B.A science magazine.

C.A university website. D.A textbook.

27、   It was August in the US，and the school year had just started，when one parent received an unexpected phone call.

Stacie Dunn had been called to Woodford County High School because her teenage daughter had been caught going against the dress rules. But the offense left Dunn shocked.

She arrived to find her daughter in a set of pretty ordinary clothes：a cardigan，a tank top and jeans. The trouble，administrators indicated，lay with her daughter's exposed collarbone (锁骨)．Bare shoulders and naked collarbones are illegal under Woodford County High School's dress rules. Students who break these rules can receive detention (the punishment of being kept at school for a time after school)—or after multiple violations (违纪)，be prevented from going to school entirely.

Dunn was very shocked and angry.“Parents are being called away from their important jobs，and students are missing important class time because they are showing their collarbones，” she wrote on the social media site Facebook，attaching a picture of her daughter in the offending clothes.“Something needs to change！”

Dress rules vary by school districts and are often decided by teachers and school administrators. Yoga pants and skinny jeans are banned. Certain dress rules also require knee­length pants and skirts.

Some school administrators argue they are simply supporting having a professional standard of dress to prepare their students for their future careers. But others have told students that their clothes present a “distraction” to others.

Certain schools have chosen to re­evaluate their dress rules，with input from parents and students. Even Woodford County High School—home of the “collarbone” ban—is reconsidering its policies this month. But，at_least_for_now，the_dress_rule_debate_is_far_from_over.

【1】Why was Stacie Dunn called to Woodford County High School?

A. Her daughter went to school with bare shoulders.

B. She turned to Facebook for help.

【4】The underlined sentence in the last paragraph indicates that ________．

A. the debate between parents and students will never be over

28、   On a sunny spring day, a group of children, four to seven-year- old, sit on their bicycles.

They wear helmets to protect their heads and gloves to protect their hands. Their mothers, watch them closely for fear that the children will fall off their bikes. The children are ready to learn how to ride.

Rachel Varn still remembers how she felt riding a bicycle for the first time. Now her job is helping children experience that moment. Rachel Varn left her job of selling bicycles to become a trainer for bicycle riding last year. She founded Pedal Power Kids to teach bicycle education.

Before starting a ride, she teaches the children how to make sure the bicycles are in good condition for safe use. She calls it “the ABC quick check.” A is for air, she explains. “We have to check our tires before we ride.” B is for brakes. We want to make sure our brakes work before we find ourselves on the top of a hill about to go down. And C is for chain. She says the chain must be clean.

The rest of the training is more fun. The children learn riding skills, from balance and pedaling to turning, starting and stopping. And they learn to keep their eyes up and look ahead while riding. Varn says many children struggle to do this. They look down at the pedals (踏板) instead. She adds, “Obviously that doesn’t allow them to see what’s going on around them, and it also doesn’t allow them to turn properly.”

Varn says watching where you are going helps you turn easier.

Learning to ride a bicycle can open a whole new world to children. It gives them a sense of success and freedom. They become more sensitive to their surroundings and better able to make safe, smart decisions going from one place to another.

Varn’s goal is to get more children on two wheels. Since starting Pedal Power Kids last year, Varn has helped around 250 new riders.

【1】How do the mothers feel when the children are ready to learn riding?

A.Confident. B.Nervous.

C.Excited. D.Relaxed.

【2】What is “the ABC quick check” aimed to do?

A.To check if bikes are in safe condition for use.

B.To check if the tires are safe for them to use.

C.To make sure the brakes work.

D.To check whether the chain is clean.

【3】What will make it easier to turn the corner when riding a bike?

A.Stopping to look around. B.Looking down at the pedals.

C.Looking where they are going. D.Keeping their eyes up and looking up.

【4】What benefit can riding a bicycle bring according to the passage?

A.It opens a new world to the mothers.

B.It gives children a sense of achievement.

C.It helps children stay away from video games.

D.It makes children familiar with the surrounding.

29、   Last weekend in Washington, D.C. 30 young researchers from across the nation were preparing for a competition. In a sense, all were winners already. After all, each had to beat out hundreds of others for the chance to arrive in the final. But only one competitor would take home the top prize: an educational award worth $25,000. Finally, Alaina Gassler, 14, won the top prize.

Alaina was one of the 30 finalists from 13 states who competed in the ninth yearly Broadcom MASTERS competition. Alaina and the other finalists had to be in sixth, seventh or eighth grade to attend the competition. What’s more, their research had to be judged within the top 10 percent of all projects. As usual, those projects all fell within the fields of science, technology, engineering or mathematics. Fifteen of the finalists took home major awards. For the first time this year, 60g% of the finalists were women.

Alaina developed a system whose goal is to improve driving safety. “Congratulations to Alaina, whose project has the possibility of reducing the number of traffic accidents,” said Maya Ajmera, president of Science and the Public, the organization that created the competition.

Alaina goes to school in West Grove, Pennsylvania. “I didn’t think I’d win an award this big.” she said. For her project, Alaina developed a system that could reduce blind spots for drivers. Such areas can hide objects or other cars from a driver’s view, and thus easily lead to accidents.

Alaina’s system depends on a camera fixed on the front part of the passenger-side window. It can monitor (监视) things a driver can’t see. The camera records a video of what it’s seeing and at the same time sends it to a projector (投影仪) fixed over the driver’s head. That projector plays the video on a screen, which is fixed on the passenger-side roof support. In this way, the blind spots are decreased.

【1】What do we know about the competition?

A.It encourages teamwork. B.It is meant for college students.

C.It encourages theory exploration. D.It is a fierce national competition.

【2】What is special about this year’s competition?

A.More winners stand out. B.More girls perform better.

C.All of the projects are more useful. D.Half of the competitors are awarded.

【3】How does Alaina Gassler feel about her prize?

A.Surprised. B.Satisfied. C.Encouraged. D.Puzzled.

【4】What plays the biggest role in Alaina Gassler’s system?

A.The projector. B.The monitor. C.The camera. D.The screen.
