5.Many Chinese people have awakened their interest in classical Chinese poetry recently thanks to a popular TV show that aims to"appreciate classical Chinese poetry,explore cultural genes and enjoy the beauty of life"by combining traditional literary form with light-hearted TV quizzes.
The ten-episode"Chinese Poetry Competition",since its broadcast has been praised for injecting vitality (活力) into TV programs with fantastic performances of contestants(选手),impressive comments from judges as well as its innovative interactive mode.In the show,poems can be adapted into songs or depicted (描绘) through artistic pictures.Any contestant who can memorize the latest number of poems may not necessarily be the final winner,while fast reaction and usage of poems matter a lot more in the competition.

"Learning poems isn't about winning or losing.The power of poetry lies in shaping one's view of life and developing one's inner world."said Li Bo,an expert guest at the Chinese Poetry Competition's second season.
When it comes to teaching people about poetry,Li Dingguang,the show's academic advisor,suggested that teachers should explain more about the beauty of the poetry from both the aesthetic (审美的) and emotional sides,and guide students to lose themselves in the poems,rhythmic and rhyming (押韵的) lines.
"Although the proportion of ancient Chinese poems in the textbooks of primary and secondary schools has increased,many students still learn them for exams."Li Dingguang said,"Therefore,it's important to help students truly appreciate the artistry and fun of poetry."

15.No one can deny that buttons are an important device.Whenever we see a button,we are eager to press it because we know something will happen.This is true in most cases,for example on a doorbell and on the"on/off"button on the TV.But some buttons are actually fake,like the"close"button on a lift.
Many people are in the habit of pressing the"close"button because they don't have the patience to wait for the lift doors to shut.But lifts'"close"buttons are a complete scam (骗局),at least in the US-the doors will not close any faster no matter how hard you press.
It started in the 1990s when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in the US,making sure that all lifts stayed open long enough so that people with disabilities could enter.Only US firefighters and repairmen can use the buttons to speed up the door-closing process if they have a code or special keys.
But to normal lift riders,the buttons aren't completely useless.According to psychologists,fake buttons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control.
"Perceived (能够感知的) control is very important.It reduces stress and increases well-being,"Ellen J.Langer,a psychology professor,said,"having a lack of control is associated with depression."
Experts have revealed that a lot of buttons that don't do anything exist in our lives for this same purpose.For example,many offices in the US have fake thermostats (温度调节器) because people tend to feel better when they think they can control the temperature in their workspace.
But psychologists found it interesting that even when people are aware of these little"white lies",they still continue to push fake buttons because as long as the doors eventually close,it is considered to be worth the effort.
"That habit is here to stay,"John Kounios,a psychology professor,said."Even though I have real doubts about the traffic light buttons,I always press them.After all,I've got nothing else to do while waiting.So why not press the button in the hope that this one will work?"

25.What was the author's main purpose in writing the article?D
A.To explore people's different habits when it comes to pushing buttons.
B.To describe some different kinds of fake buttons.
C.To explain the advantages and disadvantages of fake buttons.
D.To analyze the functions of fake buttons.
26.In America,the"close"buttons on liftsA.
A.are fake for the convenience of disabled people
B.work only when people press them hard for a while
C.were specially designed to give people a sense of control
D.cannot speed up the process of closing the door in any case
27.The underlined part"for this same purpose"in Paragraph 6 refers toB.
A.making people more patient              
B.giving people perceived control
C.helping people to build up confidence      
D.making people with depression feel better
28.According to John Kounios,people who press fake buttonsC.
A.should give up this habit
B.consider what they do to be meaningless
C.probably do so to kill time
D.don't know that what they press is fake.

12.What's life like on a deserted island?Senator(参议员) Jeff Flake of Arizona decided to find out.
The adventurous senator took a vacation from Capitol Hill and went on a four-day Robinson Crusoe style holiday with his two teenage sons to a remote,uninhabited island in the North Pacific Ocean.
The senator and his sons,15-year-old Tanner and 13-year-old Dallin,traveled 5,200miles from Phoenix,Arizona to the island of Biggarenn.They didn't carry any food or water.
The island is part of the Marshall Islands.It offered no basic facilities,so the Flakes had to catch and cook their own food and purify their water.Their diet was made up of coconuts,crab and fish.They captured the crab and fish themselves and cooked the food over an open fire started with a magnifying glass(放大镜).
The Flakes brought along a lobster(龙虾) trap in hopes of having some delicious treats,but lost it within the first few hours after it was attacked by a shark.They also carried two pumps to remove salt from ocean water.It took them hours each night pumping for just a few gallons of fresh water.
One of the most memorable moments of the trip,the father said,was when he and his 15-year-old son were chased by sharks after spearing(叉) a fish in the ocean.
Still,it was quite an enjoyable holiday for the senator."For a dad it was a wonderful thing.No video games around,no television,no distractions,no texting,"Flake recalled.

13.Students inC hina spend a lot of time learning English.B ut most of them cannot use it to communicate.Some experts think the reason lies in the testing system,because the current English testing system inC hina puts too much pressure on students to get high marks and pay no attention to the development of their overall(全面的) language abilities.C onsidering this,recently many experts are calling for reforms(改革) of the English language testing system to make it more effectively to develop actual language abilities.They say changes are necessary for the development of the national English education system.
写作要求:
1.用30个词左右概括上述话题的主要内容;
2.用约100个词就这一话题发表自己的看法,并包括如下要点:
(1)你是否赞成英语考试的改革.
(2)你赞同或反对的理由(至少两条).
(3)对"How to develop overall language abilities"谈谈你的看法.
Recently,the topic of whether English test system should be changed has caused a heated discussion.Many people think the current testing system prevents students from developing overall language abilities and therefore argue for a reform.
Personally,I am against reforming the current testing system.The following are my reasons.Firstly,I don't think it prevents the cultivation of our overall languge abilities.As far as I know,many students are good at all the four skills of using English.Moreover,it is generally the fairest way for students to get selected for college study.Nobody can be sure a new testing method will do better.
As for the development of comprehensive language abilities,I think the only way is to practice more,either listening and reading or speaking and writing.Only in this way can we learn the English language well..
