13．Some of the most famous universities in America are urging students to consider the idea of putting off college for a year．It's caled a"gap year．"And while it's been common and popular in Australia and the U．K．for decades，the concept is now starting to gain significant steam here in America．
Why？A growing number of high school seniors are tired of riding the academic conveyor belt from preschool all the way to university．They're burnt out．Or not quite ready．Or they want to explore a few interests before deciding what to study in college．So instead of packing their bags to college，they're volunteering in New Orleans or teaching in Thailand．They're starting the great American novel，or working for a short time to help figure out what they want to do with their lives．
Understandably，that makes a lot of parents nervous．But a gap year does not mean that a student will remain degree-less forever．While there are no formal studies on the number of students who never end up making their way to college after the gap year，evidence from admissions officers across the country says very few actually leave college without finishing their courses．Taking a gap year can actually make kids more focused and ready for future academic life．In fact，Harvard University believes so much in the gap year that it encourages every student it admits to consider a year off before really starting．
The reason behind higher education's support of the gap year is clear：Better-prepared students mean higher completion rates．And it's completion that matters．Parents should remember that getting a kid into college is only half the battle．According to the College Board，three out of five students who enter a public four-year college don't manag to obtain a degree within five years．And nearly 30percent of all students who enter college don't return the second year．Considering the fact that this year's average price at a four-year private college is about $23，712per year，it's a pretty expensive place to play around．
28．Students want to take a gap year mainly becauseD．
①they want to have an experience of foreign education
②they want to escape academic pressure for a while
③they want to read more books before college
④they are not completely prepared for college
⑤they can't decide what to learn in college
A．①③④
B．①③⑤
C．②③④
D．②④⑤
29．What makes parents feel concerned about the gap year？C
A．The high cost of the gap year．
B．The safety risks outside school．
C．Their kids dropping out of college．
D．Their kids falling behind in their lessons．
30．Why do some universities encourage the gap year？C
A．It means students will have enough money to pay for college．
B．It allows students to finish college in less than four years．
C．It gets students more involved in their studies．
D．It makes students develop a competitive spirit．
31．What is the author's attitude towards the gap year？B
A．Surprised．
B．Supportive．
C．Critical．
D．Doubtful．

20．Across Britain，burnt toast will be served to mothers in bed this morning as older sons and daughters rush to deliver their supermarket bunches of flowers．But，according to a new study，we should be placing a higher value on motherhood all year．
Mothers have long known that their home workload was just as heavy as paid work．Now，the new study has shown that if they were paid for their parental labors，they would earn as much as￡172，000 a year．
The study looked at the range of jobs mothers do，as well as the hours they are working，to determine the figure．This would make their yearly income￡30，000 more than the Prime Minister earns．
By analyzing the numbers，it found the average mother works 119 hours a week，40 of which would usually be paid at a standard rate and 79 hours as overtime．After questioning 1，000 mothers with children under 18，it found that，on most days，mums started their routine work at 7 am and finished at around 11 pm．
To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that labour，it suggested some of the roles that mums could take on，including housekeeper，part-time lawyer，personal trainer and entertainer．Being a part-time lawyer，at￡48，98 an hour，would prove to be the most profitable of the"mum jobs"，with psychologist a close second．
The study shows mothers matter all year long and not just on Mother's Day．The emotional，physical and mental energy mothers devote to their children can be never-ending，but children are also sources of great joy and happiness．Investing（投入） in time for parenting and raising relationsh ips is money well spent．
21．How much would a mother earn a year if working as the Prime Minister？D
A．￡30，000．
B．￡202，000．
C．￡172，000．
D．￡142，000．
22．What is stressed in the last paragraph？D
A．mothers'importance shows in family all year long．
B．Investing time in parenting would bring a financial return．
C．Mothers'devotion to children can hardly be calculated．
D．The sacrifices mothers make are huge but worthwhile．
23．What can we conclude from the study？B
A．Mothers'working hours should be largely reduced．
B．Mothers'labor is of a higher value than it is realized．
C．Mothers should balance their time for work and rest．
D．Mothers should be freed from housework for social life．

10．There are four pearl dealers in our town of La Paz．About a week after my father had cut the pearl，the four men came to our home．They came early in the afternoon，dressed in their best black suits and carrying a scale and calipers （卡尺） and their money in a bag．When word got around that the dealers were going to buy the great black pearl，a crowd followed them and stood outside our gate．
The four men wore serious faces and they put their scale and calipers on the table and their brown bag as well．They sat down and folded their hands and said nothing．Then my father said．"The bag is very small，gentlemen．I doubt that it holds enough money to buy the great Pearl of Heaven．"
The four dealers did not like this．One of them，named Martin，was big and shaped like a barrel and had small white hands．"I have heard that the pearl is the size of a grapefruit，"he said，"If so，we have more money than we need．For as you know，the large ones are of little value．""They do not live long，these monsters，"said Palomares，who was as fat as Martin．"They often die or become dull before a year passes．""And so do many of the small ones，"my father said．"Like the pink one Palomares sold us last month．"Palomares shrugged his shoulders．
"Before I show the Pearl of Heaven，"my father said，"I will tell you the price．It is twenty thousand pesos，no more and no less．"
My father went out of the room and came back with the pearl wrapped in a piece of white velvet．He laid it on the table in front of the four dealers．The great pearl caught the light，gathered it and softened it into a moon of dark fire．None of the dealers spoke for a moment or two．
Then Martin said，"It is as I feared，more like a grapefruit than a pearl．""It's a monster all right，"Palomares said．"The kind that often has a brief life and is very hard to sell．"One of the dealers who had not spoken cleared his throat and said，"But still we will make an offer．"The other dealers nodded seriously．"Ten thousand pesos，"said Martin．Palomares grasped the pearl and studied it．"I think that I see a flaw （瑕疵），"he said after a long time．"Ten thousand is too much．"The great pearl was passed around to the other dealers and they all turned it in their hands．As last Martin used the calipers and placed the pearl on the scale．"His readings were the same as I had made almost．Eleven thousand pesos，"he said．My father answered，"In your lives you have never seen a pearl like this one，nor will you．""Twelve thousand，"said Palomares．
For most of an hour the price the dealers offered went up two hundred and fifty pesos at a time until the figure reached the sum of fifteen thousand pesos．
"Then，"said my father，"I shall take the great pearl to Mexico City and ask twice that amount and sell it to dealers who know its true worth．"Palomares picked up the pearl and put it down．"If you remember，"he said，"you made the long journey to the City of Mexico once before．And what did you find there？You found that the dealers are not so generous （慷慨的） with their money as we are here in La Paz． And you came home after the long journey with your tail between your legs．"
My father stopped pacing and signed to me．"Go to the church，"he said，"and bring Father Gallardo．Whatever he is doing，see that he comes．Go quickly．"
Everybody fell silent as we came in．Then my father turned to the priest and bowed．"Here is the Pearl of Heaven，"he said．"My son and I give it to you so that you may give it to the Madonna，our beloved Lady-of-the-Sea，to hold and keep forever．"

17．Werewolves （狼人） aren't the only creatures affected by the moon's cycles（周期）．A full moon also affects people's sleep more or less，reports a Swiss team of scientists．Even people who sleep in a lab without windows could reduce their sleeping time a little once a month．
To test the moon's influence，33adults of both sexes and ages of many kinds spent several nights in a sleep lab．As they slept，researchers recorded their brain activity，eye movements and hormone levels （荷尔蒙水平）．On nights closer to a full moon，the sleepers took an average of five minutes longer to fall asleep，and slept for 20minutes less．In addition，brain activity fell by 30percent during the sleep．And hormone levels that help control sleep cycles went down．On these nights，the sleepers complained they couldn't sleep well even though they didn't know the moon's cycle．On the bright side，no sleeper turned into a werewolf．
The Swiss team doesn't know how the moon affects sleep．The gravity （重力） of the moon causes ocean tides（潮汐）to rise and fall．But that force is too weak to affect sleep，Gajochen says．He believed some body's biological clock may be affected by the moon cycles．There may be another reason，says David Dinges．This sleep researcher at the University Of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia says that the body clock is very sensitive（敏感的）to light at night．Those sleepers could have been affected by having too much moonlight before arriving at the lab．
32．The writer mentioned"werewolves"in the first paragraph toB．
A．show there are the moon's cycles
B．attract people's attention to the report
C．introduce a creature to readers
D．ask people not to sleep alone in the lab
33．What happened to the sleepers during the experiment on a full moon？C
A．They slept for about five minutes longer．
B．They could only sleep for 20minutes．
C．Their brains were not as active as they were
D．They complained they were too tired to sleep．
34．The last paragraph is developed mainly byA．
A．analyzing （分析） reasons
B．explaining differences
C．making comparisons
D．following the time order
35．The passage is mainly aboutC．
A．the sleeping problems caused by the moon's cycles
B．the influence of the moon on human sleeping habits
C．the moon's influence on sleeping and its possible reasons
D．the ways to get a better sleep on a full moon night．
