16.It was on her 14th birthday that her first book,In the Forest of the Night,was accepted for publication.It was a huge success gaining the attention of millions of young readers.At 16,her second novel,Demon in My View,also reached the bookstores.Several books later,the teenage author still works away in her room,surrounded by shelves full of dark tales about vampires(吸血鬼)and witches.Amelia Atwater-Rhodes is widely seen as America's finest teen writer and was named one of Teen People's"20Teens Who Will Change the World."
Born in 1984,she began making up stories when she was about three years old."I never stopped and said,‘I want to write',"Amelia remembers."I loved stories and created stories before I was old enough to know how to write them down."
In her family,reading was basic and fun."My parents encouraged me to read----and to read anything I wanted,so long as I was reading,"she said."They never restricted what I read.Later,when I started writing,they never criticized what I did or said I was‘too young'.They never said it was impossible for me to achieve what I have."
In her short but successful career,Amelia has tried different styles.But vampires were the first characters to really come alive in her work.From them she has developed a whole world,one which she always enjoys learning more about.
As a published teen writer,Amelia's advice to other teens who dream of being authors is:just do it!"I believe anything is possible.Don't give up your dreams just because you fear failure.Getting a book published is difficult,but if I can do it,others can too."

7.I used to think that life in Jim Thorpe,Pennsylvania,was filled with never-changing routines.I hated that everyone seemed to know everything about everyone else.Everyone seemed to enjoy talking about other people and their lives.I also didn't like the fact that people seemed very close-minded.I felt trapped.I felt like I was missing out on opportunities.It seemed to me that city life would be the opposite.
Then I took my first trip to New York City.I couldn't wait to experience the city.However,when I arrived in the Big Apple,it wasn't at all what I had imagined.I knew it was home to thousands of people,but I hadn't had the least expectation to see so many people on the street at one time.All the streets were filled with people.I also felt a little surprised to see that everyone was in a hurry and everything moved at such a fast pace.When I took the subway for the first time,I said hello to the middle-aged woman next to me.She looked at me with dislike and didn't say a word.
After just one day,I realized how important my small town is to me.Now I appreciate the familiar faces I see every day.I like the feeling of security and belonging my town offers.Jim Thorpe gives me a sense of community and togetherness that the city doesn't provide.I realize just how much a simple hello does for a stranger-it really can make your day a little better.
My big trip showed me that my small town really has instilled(注入) morals and values in me that I didn't even know I had.I would never have known what a big place my town holds in my heart if I had not taken that trip to New York City.

7.Have you ever heard the saying"All roads lead to Rome"?At one time,this was pretty much true.During the Roman Empire,lots of roads were built in order to move armies,send messages by courier (信使),and make trade easier.
The network of Roman roads was begun in 312BC.It was demanded that the roads be built strong so that they would not fall down.Roman soldiers,supervised (监督) by engineers,laid down the roads in a special pattern of layers.There were all together 4layers,which was made of different materials,such as sand,rocks,stones and so on.
Also,Roman roads were cambered(拱形).This means that they were built higher in the middle than on the edges,allowing rainwater to run off,which prevented flooding.We use the same technique in building roads today.The Romans also laid out roads over hills when necessary,setting them down in a zigzag (之字形的)pattern to make the road rise gradually.
All Roman roads had milestones (里程碑),placed every thousand paces (a Roman mile).The milestones told when the road was built,who was emperor at the time,the road's destination,how far the traveler was from the destination,and how many miles had been traveled since the beginning of the road.This information was a great help to travelers.
Because of their excellence in construction,it really is no surprise that many parts of Roman road still exist today.These roadways are one of the most impressive achievements of the Roman Empire.
21.The following description about Roman roads is true EXCEPTB.
A.Roman roads were built by the Roman soldiers directed by the engineers
B.Roman roads could prevent flooding using the technique we don't use today
C.Roman roads had milestones that were placed every Roman mile
D.Roman roads still exist today as an impressive achievement of Roman Empire
22.What information can you find on the milestones?C
A.The builders of the road.
B.The materials used in building roads.
C.The distance from one city.
D.The time spent in building roads.
23.The passage mainlyD.
A.explains the saying"All roads lead to Rome"
B.praises ancient Romans for their great achievements

4.If you see a group of people dancing and singing on the street or in the railway station,you don't need to feel surprised.They are a flash mob (快闪族),which is a group of people who come together suddenly in a public place,do something unusual for a brief period of time,and then quickly break up.They are usually organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communication network.At a predetermined time,they gather and perform some  distractions(消遣) such as waving their hands and exchanging books,Then,they quickly break up before the police can arrive.Using mobile phones,the flash mob can change its location if the first one has been replaced for any reason.
        Bill Lasik,senior editor of Harper's Magazine,organized the first flash mob in Manhattan in May 2003 and the first successful flash mob came together on June 3,2003-after the first attempt was foiled at Macy's department store.Lasik claimed that the activity was designed to make fun of hipsters (起时髦的人),and call attention to the cultural atmosphere.       
      Flash mob gatherings can sometimes shock people.Such an activity might seem amusing and untrue,but it also might frighten people who are not aware of what is taking place.Undoubtedly,flash mobs can serve as good political tools in any direction.They also have great economic potential,such as using flash mobs to advertise a product.
      The flash mob is now becoming more and more popular.People use it to do many things.For example,in 2009,Michael Jackson's fans took part in a flash mob to remember him.Hundreds of his fans gathered singing and dancing Michael's famous song"Beat It"together.Flash mobs give people from all walks of life an opportunity to come together to create a memory.

11.I went to Arizona earlier this month to see what the college of the future might look like.What I found is an exciting new era of higher education that will help more students get a great,personalized education at an affordable price.
This future may not always include the lecture halls,dormitories,and other features of the traditional college experience.Instead,the colleges I visited are experimenting with ways for students to get their degrees online,allowing them to take courses any place and at any time.
These"colleges without walls,"as they are sometimes called,are at the forefront of the effort to broaden access to higher education,especially for low-income students with full-time jobs and families.During my visit,I heard encouraging stories of students who were taking advantage of these flexible learning models to pursue degrees that could put them on paths to new careers.
One of those students was Shawn Lee.He had a compelling story:After dropping out of college decades ago,he found himself in a series of low-paying,often back-breaking jobs.He recently decided to get his degree when he had his first child and wanted to start building a better life.
Tucked away in an industrial park in Tempe,Rio Salado didn't look much like a traditional institute of higher education.There were no students running to class.Just a couple of glass-faced office buildings.The college had just 22full-time faculty serving 60,000students,with more than half of them attending classes online.
Several students I met during my visit said they liked learning online."I've taken college classes in a big auditorium with herds of people.There was no personal connection,"one student said."Now I can reach my teacher with the click of a mouse."
After several days'visit,I left Arizona feeling quite optimistic about what the future holds for higher education.
21.What does"colleges without walls"in the third paragraph refer to?B
A.Colleges that have no walls around.
B.Colleges that students attend online.
C.Colleges that can be entered freely.
D.Colleges that give students more freedom.
22.What made Shawn Lee return to attend college again?D
A.That he has nothing to do.
B.That he couldn't find a job.
C.That the cost of the college is low.
D.That he wanted to find a better job.
23.How did the writer feel after the visit?A
A.Hopeful.B.Dissatisfied.C.Disappointed.D.Upset.
24.What is the writer's purpose by writing this passage?D
A.To explain what"colleges without walls"are.
B.To advertise the colleges.
C.To encourage people to attend higher education.
D.To introduce a new model of education.
