19．Last year，A Bite of China，made by CCTV's Documentary Channel，sparked discussion not only on Chinese food，but also on locally made documentary programs．
When you think of documentaries，you may think of them as long，boring programs．But documentaries can be wonderful and bring stories from the real world into our homes．With fascinating footage（影片片段） and stories，documentaries encourage us to think about interesting issues we wouldn't necessarily know about．
So，what makes a good documentary，and what should we pay attention to when we watch one？Here，we offer a few easy strategies to help you get the most out of watching documentaries．
Pay attention to the themes
While watching a documentary，keep your eyes and ears peeled for the themes people talk about and what ideas they focus on．Is it meant to be informative or raise a certain emotional response？
Think critically
Listen to what the people in the documentary are saying and ask yourself the following questions：If you were debating with someone or introducing a new concept，would you say the things the people in the documentary are saying？Do the arguments make sense？
Check the sources
If you're sitting at the computer and can't think of anything to do，why not look up the points the documentary made and see if they are accurate？You could even read more about what is presented in the documentary．
Who are the creators？
The creators or financial backers of a film will usually be involved with how the subject matter is presented．For instance，as the documentary 2016：Obama's America was directed in large part by a conservative writer，it's not surprising that it's critical of President Obama from the beginning．

60．Which of the following is the most proper to describe documentaries？A
A．non-fictional     B．controversial     C．subjective     D．thoughtful
61．The passage is mainly written toB．
A．inform us of factors of good documentaries．
B．help us enjoy documentaries better．
C．introduce ways of making documentaries．
D．help us figure out themes of documentaries．
62．Why is 2016：Obama's America mentioned in the article？D
A．Because the author dislikes Obama．
B．Because it is directed by a writer．
C．Because it is quite popular in China．
D．Because it is a persuasive example．
63．According to the passage，C．
A．it is always difficult to get the themes of documentaries．
B．financial backers often appear in documentaries．
C．it's better to think twice about what is in documentaries．
D．many points of documentaries are not accurate．

16．Unseen Art wants to give the Mona Lisa and other world-famous artworks the 3D treatment so that they can be touched，making them accessible to the blind and visually impaired（受损的）．"There are many people in the world who have heard of classical artworks their whole lives but are unable to see them，"say Marc Dillon，advocate for the project．"Now they can experience them for the first time and create their own impressions and opinions．"
The project is currently crowd-funding（大众筹资） on Indiegogo，offering 3D prints of the Mona Lisa for backers，which can be kept or donated to an organization serving the blind and visually impaired community．The money raised will be used to fund an online platform where the 3D files will be down-loadable for free，making 3D printable art available worldwide，anywhere there is a 3D printer．
The project strikes a personal chord（引起共鸣） with Dillon．"I was born with one arm shorter than the other．All my life，I continually had to prove that I was able to do everything I wanted to，from playing guitar and riding motorcycles to life-guarding and weightlifting．I also had an uncle who worked as a mechanic（技工） and became blind in adulthood．I saw he was able to continue to do almost anything a seeing person could do．"
To test the concept，Dillon took the first 3D print to the Blind Institute of Finland，"They were very excited to touch the Mona Lisa!"says Dillon．In a video for the project，one can see a blind woman experiencing da Vinci's masterpiece through touch．Just like countless others throughout history，she is interested in Mona Lisa's mysterious expression．"It's a little bit…mysterious，"she says happily．"She wasn't exactly a classical beauty！"
28．World-famous artworks are printed with 3D technology toA．

B．raise money for an online platform
C．keep those works for future generation   
D．make money for themselves

7．We're so well educated-but we're useless students who have lost the ability to do anything practical．The only thing we've mastered is consumption．
Large numbers of students have entered higher education in the past 10years，but despite being the most educated generation in history，it seems that we've grown increasingly ignorant when it comes to basic life skills．
Looking back on my first couple of weeks of living in student halls，I consider myself lucky to still be alive．Unfamiliar to fresher's，there are many hidden dangers in the dirty corners of students accommodation．
I have survived a couple of serious boiling egg incidents and lots of cases of food-poisoning，probably from dirty kitchen counters．Although some of my clothes have fallen victim to ironing experimentation，I think I have now finally acquired all the domestic （居家的） skills I missed out in my modem education．
In 2006and 2010，the charming educationist Sir Ken Robinson gave two very amusing talks in which he discussed the importance of creativity in education．Robinson's main viewpoint is that our current education system dislocates people from their natural talents．I would like to go a step further and propose that besides our talents，the system takes away what used to be passed from generation to generation-a working knowledge of basic life skills．
Today's graduates may have earned themselves honor in history，law or economies，but when it comes to simple things like putting up a shelf to hold all their academic books，or fixing a hole in their on-trend clothes，they have to cal for help from a professional handyman or tailor．
Since the invention of the internet，it has never been easier for people to access information，but our highly specialized education has made us more one-sided than ever．
I suggest that we start with the immediate reintroduction of some of the most vital aspects of"domestic science"education，before the current lack leads to serious accidents in student halls．

36．People call us useless students for the reason thatD．
A．what we've learned is beyond consumption
B．we are educated generation
C．we've entered higher education
D．our living skills are so poor
37．Which is NOT the incidents the writer had during the first few weeks in student halls？D
A．He was seriously burnt by boiled eggs．
B．He was accidentally poisoned by food．
C．He damaged his clothes while ironing．
D．He was severely beaten by freshets．
38．According to Robinson's opinion，our current educationB．
A．focuses on the importance if creativity
B．dislocates people from their natural talents
C．has equipped students with basic life skills
D．has followed the tradition properly
39．Why are the graduates poor at basic life skills？B
A．Because they are not interested in them．
B．Because they have little relevant practice．
C．Because they are affected by internet．
D．Because they are easy to be one-sided．
40．The main purpose of writing the passage is thatB．
A．there is no need to introduce"domestic science"
B．it's time we did something to current education
C．more attention should be paid to natural science
D．accidents should be prevented in student halls．
14．Music lessons in early childhood bring about changes in the brain that  could improve its performance far into adulthood，researchers say．
  Brain scans of young adults showed those who had formal musical training before seven had thicker brain areas dealing with hearing and self-awareness．
  The findings note how brain development can be influenced by the age when children start to learn a musical instrument，and how those changes can continue into later life．
"Early musical training benefits kids more than just making them enjoy music．It changes the brain，which could bring about cognitive advances as well，"said Yunxin Wang of Beijing Normal University．
"Our results suggest it's better to start musical training before seven，which agrees with what most piano teachers recommend，"she added．She hoped the results might help parents decide when was the best for their children to learn an instrument．
   The brain's cortex（皮层） plays a leading role in one's abilities，from thought and language to memory and attention．The area matures rapidly in the early years of life，and its development could be affected more if a person starts musical training before it fully matures．
   Wang studied 48 Chinese students aged between 19 and 21 who had received formal music training for at least a year sometime between the ages of 3 and 15．Each had a scan to measure the thickness of the brain's cortex．
   After considering sex and the number of years spent having music lessons，Wang found that musical training that started before seven appeared to thicken areas of the brain involved in language skills and executive function，which is a person's ability to plan and accomplish tasks．
"We're not sure why these changes occur，but a reasonable explanation is that early starters might depend more on hearing clues（线索） when learning music，since it might be more difficult for younger children to read music，"Wang said．
32．According to the researchers，musical training before the age of seven canA
A．contribute to future work．
B．create a successful life
C．develop all-round abilities        
D．deal with puzzling problem
33．When conducting the research with the students，WangD
A．tested their language abilities  
B．watched their musical performances
C．focused on school behavior and achievements
D．measured the thickness of the brain's cortex
34．It can be inferred from the last paragraph thatB．
A．it must be hard for kids to read music
B．kids are more likely to learn music by hearing
C．Wang's explanation has been the most reasonable
D．Wang will research into the reasons for the brain change
35．For what purpose does the author write the text？C
A．To describe the development of brain．
B．To challenge the previous discoveries．
C．To present the findings of the research．
D．To give advice on how to learn music．
4．Is Positive Thinking Powerful？
The﹩11billion self-help industry is built on the idea that you should turn negative thoughts like"I never do anything right"into positive ones like"I can succeed"．But was the positive thinking advocate Norman Vincent Peale right？Is there power in positive thinking？
Researchers in Canada just published a study in Psychological Science that says trying to get people to think more positively can actually have the opposite effect：it can simply stress how unhappy they are．The study's authors，Joanne Wood and John Lee of the University of Waterloo and Elaine Perunovic of the University of New Brunswick，begin by using older research showing that when people get feedback （反馈） which they believe is overly positive，they actually feel worse，not better．If you tell your friend who is not very clever that he has the potential of an Einstein，you're just underlining his faults．In the 1990s，a team including psychologist Joel Cooper of Princeton conducted an experiment．The participants were asked to write essays opposing financial support for the disabled，expressing little sympathy for them．When these participants were later praised for their sympathy，they felt even worse about what they had written．
In this experiment，Wood，Lee and Perunovic measured 68students'self-respect．The participants were then asked to write down their thoughts and feelings for four minutes．Every 15seconds，one group of students heard a bell．When it rang，they were supposed to tell themselves，"I am lovable．"Those with low self-respect didn't feel better after the forced self-approval．In fact，their feelings turned significantly worse than those of members of the control group，who weren't urged to think positive thoughts．
The study provides support for newer forms for psychotherapy （心理治疗） that urge people to accept their negative thoughts and feelings rather than fight them．In the fighting，we not only often fail but can make things worse．Meditation （静思） techniques，on the contrary，can teach people to realize their shortcomings from a larger，more realistic perspective．Call it the power of negative thinking．

67．What is the finding of the Canadian researchers？B
A．There can be no simple solutions to psychological problems．
B．Encouraging positive thinking may do harm to people．
C．The power of positive thinking is limited．
D．Unhappy people cannot think positively．
68．The underlined part in Paragraph 2probably meansC．
A．you are pointing out the mistakes he has made
B．you are not taking his mistakes seriously enough
C．you are stressing the fact that he is not intelligent
D．you are not trying to make him feel better about his faults
69．What do we learn from the experiment of Wood，Lee and Perunovic？D
A．Self-approval can bring a positive change to one's feelings．
B．People with low self-respect seldom write down their true feelings．
C．It is important for people to continually improve their self-respect．
D．Forcing people to think positive thoughts may lower their self-respect．
70．It can be learned from the last paragraph thatC．
A．people can avoid making mistakes through meditation
B．different people tend to have different ways of thinking
C．meditation may prove to be a good form of psychotherapy
D．the effects of positive thinking differ from person to person．
11．It is the third time that the president _____ to China for a visit．（　　）

8．Women might have a higher position at work，but at home their careers tend to give way to their husband's job，with women most likely to quit when both are working long hours，according to a U．S．study．
Researcher Youngjoo Cha，from Cornell University，found that working women with a husband who worked 50 hours or more a week found themselves still doing most of the housework and the care giving and were more likely to end up quitting their jobs．
An analysis of 8，484 professional workers and 17，648 nonprofessionals from dual-earner （双职工） families showed that if women had a husband who worked 60 hours or more per week it increased the woman's possibility of quitting her paid job by 42 percent．Cha said the possibility of quitting increased to 51 percent for professional women whose husbands work 60 hours or more per week，and for professional mothers the possibility they would quit their jobs jumped 112 percent．
However，it did not significantly affect a man's possibility of quitting his job if his wife worked 60 hours or more per week，according to the study published in the American Sociological Review in April．For professional men，both parents and non-parents，the effects of a wife working long hours were negligible，according to the study．
"As long work-hours introduce conflict between work and family into many dual-earner families，couples often solve conflict in ways that prioritize husbands'careers，"Cha，who used data from the U．S．Census Bureau，said in a statement．"This effect is magnified （突出） among workers in professional and managing occupations，where the criterion of overwork and the culture of looking after children tend to be strongest．The findings suggest that the popularity of overwork may lead many dual-earner couples to return to a traditional family pattern-breadwinning men and homemaking women．"

66．According to the text，we know thatD．
A．men prefer work long hours      
B．women prefer to work outside
C．men's careers are unimportant                    
D．women are more likely to quit jobs
67．The underlined word"negligible"in Paragraph 4 most probably meansA．
A．unimportant    B．limited          C．different      D．obvious
68．Which statement is true according to the text？B
A．When there's conflict between work and family，a husband will give up his work．
B．Women may still do most of the housework and care for babies or children．
C．Professional women are more likely to quit the job than professional mothers．
D．A man's chance of quitting jobs was influenced if his wife works long hours．
69．We can infer from the last sentence thatC．
A．all the workers pay more attention to looking after children
B．overwork may have no influence on dual-earner couples
C．traditionally，men usually worked to support the family
D．most dual-earner couples will return to a traditional family pattern
70．In which column of China Daily can you find this passage？B

9．It has been more than twenty years since pioneering British computer programmer，Sir Tim Berners Lee，created the World Wide Web．But could he have ever imagined how much the web would change our lives？And would he approve of how some British students are taking advantage of his invention？
Universities and exam boards around the UK are becoming increasingly concerned with the rising number of cases of plagiarism，many of which are facilitated （助长） by the Internet access．
In the UK most school and university students complete coursework throughout the academic year which contributes toward their final mark．In many cases coursework makes up the main part of the qualification．Since coursework is completed in the students'own time it cannot be monitored by teachers in the same way as an exam．
Derec Stockley，director of examinations in the UK，explains，"Plagiarism affects coursework more than anything else，and in the cases that come to our attention，more and more are linked to the Internet．"
At a university level recent reports suggest that plagiarism has evolved from separate cases of individual cheating to systematic and even commercial operation．Students can now pay for bespoke essays to be written for them by experts．
It is estimated that the market in online plagiarism is now worth 200 million pounds a year．Every month more and more websites offering to write student's essays for them appear on the Internet．
Barclay Littlewood，owner of Degree Essays UK employs 3，500 specialist writers and charges between 120 pounds and 4，000 pounds per essay．However，Mr．Littlewood refutes the accusation that he is helping students to cheat．
51．What dose the underlined word"plagiarism"in Paragrha 2 mean in the passage？A
A．cheating    B．problems of the Internet     C．learning pressure    D．coursework
52．Which of the following statements is mentioned by the author？C
A．With the help of online plagiarism，students can write more creative coursework．
B．There will be no problem if online plagiarism is a systematic and commercial operation．
C．The Internet seems to have contributed much to the problem of online plagiarism．
D．Teachers should lay more emphasis on exams than coursework．
53．It can be inferred from the text that the author seems toB．
A．blame Sir Tim Berners Lee for having created the World Wide Web
B．worry about the quality of students'coursework influenced by the World Wide Web
C．be in favour of Littlewood's defence against the accusation of him
D．have studied the problem of online plagiarism for nearly 20 years
54．Who should be blamed for online plagiarism？A
A．Barclay Littlewood．B．Sir Tim Berners Lee．C．Derec Stockley．D．Nobody．
55．The paragraph following the passage will most probably be aboutD．
A．the author's opinions of Mr．Littlewood
B．different people's opinions on plagiarism 
C．how students use the website of Mr．Littlewood
