沉默的课堂已经成为学校里见惯不惊的现象．在课上，老师习惯了一个人的脱口秀，学生们也陷入了死寂的漩涡．我们为什么会成为"沉默的大多数"？应该如何打破这一的僵局？
16．There are many older people in the world and there will be many more．A little-known fact is that over 60 percent of the older people live in developing countries．Accor ding to the World Health Organization，by 2020 there will be 1 billion，with over 700 million living in developing countries．
　It is a surprising fact that th e population aging is particularly rapid in developing countries．For example，it took France 115 years for the rate of older people to double from 7 percent to 14 percent．It is estimated to take China a mere 27 years to achieve this same increase．
　What are the implications of these increased numbers of older folk？One of the biggest worries for governments is that the longer people live，the more likelihood there is for diseases and for disability．Attention is being paid to the need to keep people as healthy as possible，including during old age，to lessen the financial burden on the state．
　Another significant problem is the need for the younger generations to understand and value the older people in their society．In some African countries，certainly in Asia，older people are respected and regarded as the ones with special knowledge．Yet traditions are fading away daily，which does not make sure the continued high regard of older people．As society changes，attitudes will change．
　Much needs to be done to get rid of age discrimination in employment．Life-long learning programs need to be provided to enable older people to be active members in a country's development．
　Social security policies need to be established to provide adequate income protection for older people．Both public and private schemes are vital in order to build a suitable safety net．

13．There is something very wrong with the system of values in a society that has only unkind terms （措辞） like nerds and geeks for the intellectually curious and academically serious people．
We all know what a nerd is：someone who wears thick glasses and ugly clothes； someone who knows all the answers to the chemistry or math homework but can never get a date on a Saturday night．And a geek，according to Webster's New Word Dictionary，is a street performer who shocks the public by biting off heads of live chickens．It is an obvious fact about our language and our culture that someone who is devoted to pursuit （追求） of knowledge is compared to such a strange person．
Even at a famous educational institution like Harvard，anti-intellectualism （反智主义） is widespread：Many students are ashamed to admit，even to their friends，how much they study．The same thing happens in U．S．primary and high schools．
Enough is enough．The anti-intellectual values that have spread throughout American society must be fought．There are very few countries in the world where anti-intellectualism runs as high in popular culture as it does in the US．In the most industrialized nations，especially in East Asia，a kid who studies hard is praised．But in America，average professional ballplayers are much more respected and better paid than professors of the best universities．
How can a country where typical parents are ashamed of their children studying mathematics instead of going dancing be expected to compete in the technology race with Japan？How long can America remain a world-class power if we constantly put social skills and physical strength over academic achievement and intellectual ability？
Do we really expect to stay afloat largely by bringing in our scientists and intellectuals from abroad，as we have done for a major part of this country without making an effort to also develop a pro-intellectual （有利于知识分子的） culture at home？
Not until the words"nerd"and"geek"become terms of praise rather than insults 
（侮辱） do we have a promising future．
21．What is the meaning of the words"nerd"and"geek"in this passage？B
A．They are used in the U．S．to describe students from other countries．
B．They are insulting terms which are used to describe smart students．
C．A nerd is a good student and a geek is a poor student．
D．Nerds and geeks are proper descriptions of strange students．
22．What can be learnt from Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4？C
A．The US government doesn't mean to spend much money on education．
B．Few students work hard for their grade in famous universities like Harvard．
C．Anti-intellectualism is not popular in industrialized countries in East Asia．
D．Professors earn more than professional basketball players on average in the US．
23．What is probably the author's attitude towards the present society's anti-intellectualism？C
A．Proud           
B．Supportive        
C．Unconcerned      
D．Anxious 
24．What can be a suitable title for the text？D

"I am so lucky，"Roias told The Orange County Register on Saturday．"When I got all  eight，it was a blessing and a curse because I had to choose．I was excited and scared and  everything at the same time．"
The first call came from Yale University in February．Within weeks calls，emails and letters followed from the other seven universities．Rojas also was accepted by Stanford University and two nearby schools，the University of California，Irvine，and California State University，Fullerton．
He is one of four children of Raul Rojas，59，and wife，Mafia，56，who moved to Fullerton  from Jalisco，Mexico，in the early 1980s．
A national speech and debate champion，Rojas reasoned that if he applied to the eight Ivy  League schools，he might get into one．Sal Tinajero，Rojas'speech and debate coach at  Fullerton，told the newspaper that Rojas is a hardworking self-starter who thrives（茁壮成长）  on competition．"His biggest motivation for speech and debate was his parents to know that  their hard work meant something，"Tinajero said．
After visiting several campuses，he settled on Yale，which costs 64，000ayearwithroomandboard．Heisresponsiblefor6，000；Yale scholarships and federal grant money cover the  rest．
He'll mostly take it easy during the summer before heading to Yale in late August．He's considering majoring in Latin American studies and perhaps a career as a lawyer or in  international affairs．
24．What do we know about Fernando Rojas from Paragraph l？D

14．Relax during a job interview
Few people actually like job interviewing．It's nerve-wracking（伤脑筋的）trying to show your"best"self to a perfect stranger．（36）EThat's not easy．But there are some ways to pull yourself together and feel more confident．
Prepare solid talking points．It's always best to over-prepare for possible questions by not only researching the company and the person interviewing you，but also by preparing answers and practicing those responses．Review the skills and experiences requested in the job announcement and have two to three examples how you have demonstrated each one．（37）G
Remember：It's a two-way street．This is a conversation，not an interrogation （审问）．（38）FRemembering that this is a back and forth discussion，where you can and should ask questions as well as answer them，can help you feel more comfortable．
Just breathe．（39）DYour body will relax a lot．You want to avoid upper chest breathing，as it tends to just move your stress upward to your face．
（40）AIf you go into an interview picking apart your outfit or imperfect responses，you're only hurting your chances of coming off as calm and collected．Turn off your negative self-talk and then create a different self-talk message，like，"I am here to share the best of my ability and that is all I can really do．"
Work it out．Putting in some gym time on the morning of your interview can help you get rid of any tension．Exercise helps calm your nervous system and tends to reduce the stress．

A．Stop the negative thoughts．
B．Put your idea into practice．
C．When faced with an interviewer，you may be nervous．
D．Before you walk into your interview，take a few deep breaths．
E．You're trying to prove you're the one for the job and that you can handlestressful situations．
F．Don't forget that you're not the only one being interviewed-you're also interviewing the organization．
G．This will strengthen your answers and allow you to show how your experience is relevant to the job or organization for which you're interviewing．
15．Shaky hands．Sweaty forehead．Seventeen-year-old Oliver is restless，can't focus，and keeps reaching into his empty pockets as his heart pounds with panic．But why？Is he on the run from bad people？Actually，it's a much more ordinary situation：Oliver accidentally left his phone at home．
Even a five-minute trip to the store without his device is enough to fill him with unease and fear．But he's not alone in this feeling-the stress and separation anxiety of going phone-free is so common，it's been given a name：nomophobia．
Yes，technology helps us stay connected and informed．When technology does everything，however，it's easy to become dependent on it．With your phone in your hand，you can look up a date for a history paper without referring to a book．But despite having these shortcuts，students are still spending the same amount of time on homework today as they were 30years ago．So where's all that time going？The answer may be at your fingertips．"I usually keep my phone on the desk or in my pocket while I'm doing homework，"says Oliver．"I'll check any information I get，just as a little break．"
A"little break"may sound harmless，but more is happening during that break than you think．Experts say each beep （哗哗声）seizes your attention．Triggering （触发） your fight-or-fight response，which is like a fire alarm for your brain．It's designed to pull your thoughts away from whatever you're doing so you can focus on the"life-or-death"situation in front of you．This response is vital if you smell smoke or come across a bear in the woods-but not so much when you get a text that says"I'm so bored．"After that false alarm，it takes your brain up to 30minutes to regain focus---If it ever gets focus back at all．
We should just put our phones down when we're busy---but it's not that simple．In fact，the constant beeps are purposefully designed to be irresistible（极为诱人的）．There's pressure to be available every moment for fear of missing out （FOMO）on the party，the gossip （闲言碎语），or simply the connection．But when FOMO is overpowering your brain，there's no room for creativity or problem-solving．
46．What's wrong with Oliver？B
A．He is seriously ill
B．He is digitally disconnected
C．His phone seems to be lost
D．His life is full of danger．
47．What does the underlined word"monophobia"in paragraph 2mean？A
A．The fear of being out of mobile phone contact．
B．The unease about going on short trips．
C．The stress of being completely free．
D．The anxiety of being away from one's family．
48．Students are still spending a lot of time on homework today mainly becauseC．
A．they don't study hard in school
B．they have too much homework
C．they are often disturbed by their phones．

A．can be quite harmful
