More students than ever before are taking a gap year(间隔年) before going to university.It used
to be called the “year off” between school and university.The gap-year phenomenon originated(起源)
with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start
of the next academic year.
This year,25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put
off their entry until next year,according to statistics on university entrance provided by the
University and College Admissions Service(UCAS).
That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year.Tony Higgins from
UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education.“Students who take a
well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with,and complete,their chosen course.Students
who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,” he said.
But not everyone is happy.Owain James,the president of the National Union of
Students(NUS),argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship — young people are being
forced into earning money before finishing their education.“New students are now aware that they
are likely to leave university up to ￡15,000 in debt.It is not surprising that more and more students
are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree.NUS statistics show that
over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during
vacation periods,” he said.
25What do we learn about the gap year from the text?
A.It is flexible in length. B.It is a time for relaxation.
C.It is required by universities. D.It is increasingly popular.
26According to Tony Higgins,students taking a gap year .
A.know a lot more about their future jobs.
B.are better prepared for college studies
C.are more likely to leave university in debt
D.have a better chance to enter top universities
27How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon?
A.He’s worried. B.He’s puzzled.
C.He’s surprised. D.He’s annoyed.

Proverbs are popular around the world. Many proverbs give advice about how to live. Some
proverbs are hundreds of years old, but they are still used today. For example, my son is just like his
father in many ways. We often say the two of them prove the proverb that“the apple does not fall far
from the tree”.
My daughter is very short. She would like to be taller. But I tell her that“good things come in
small packages”. The size of something is not always important. Some valuable things are very
small, like diamonds and other jewels.
But I also tell my children that“all that glitters is not gold”. Do not be fooled by appearances.
Something may look valuable, but may not really be valuable. Also, I tell them“do not judge a book
by its cover”. You should not judge something only by its appearance.
Another proverb is“do not bite off more than you can chew”. This means do not try to do
more than you are able to do. Sometimes I tell my children to cooperate to solve a problem. After all,
“two heads are better than one”. Two people working together can get better results. But another
proverb says“too many cooks spoil the broth”. If too many people try to do something, then the job
will not be done well.
I also tell my children that“two wrongs do not make a right”. You should not do something
bad just because someone did the same to you. Some people often worry about what they will do in a
situation that might happen in the future. We could tell them“do not cross that bridge until you come
to it”.
Finally, I always like this proverb: “You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar”. Honey
is sweet while vinegar is not. In other words, you can win people over to your side more easily with
gentle persuasion than by unfriendly actions.
28. The mother tells her daughter the proverb“good things come in small packages”to .
A. make fun of her B. comfort her
C. discourage her D. praise her
29. Tom will learn three foreign languages at the same time, and his father tells him“ ”.
A. all that glitters is not gold B. do not judge a book by its cover
C. two heads are better than one D. do not bite off more than you can chew
30. Tony never worries about his future as he believes the saying“ ”.
A. you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar
B. the apple does not fall far from the tree
C. do not cross that bridge until you come to it
D. good things come in small packages
31. What’s the purpose of the author in writing this passage?
A. To give advice on how to deal with others.
B. To teach readers how to judge right from wrong.
C. To introduce some proverbs on daily life.
D. To tell the differences between some proverbs.

Robots that can chat, find misplaced glasses, draw aeroplanes and play with children are
attracting thousands of visitors during an expo in Tokyo as Japan adapts to changes in society.
Robots, such as the sound-sensitive Chap it, answer simple questions and even joke with people
to help the solitary fight loneliness and stay alert in old age.
“Many older people in Japan live alone and have no one to talk to,”said Kazuya Kitamura, a
representative of the expo organizer.“Communication robots accompany people and don’t mind
listening to the same stories over and over again.”
While Chap it, a relatively simple robot, managed to attract a corporate partner, many
researchers, such as Kiyoshi Matsumoto, a professor at the University of Tokyo, struggle to attract
sponsors for more expensive projects.
Matsumoto’s “Personal Mobility Robot”,equipped with four cameras and a sensor to recognize
the user’s centre of gravity, is designed to help elderly move around without pressing buttons,
using joysticks or rotating wheels as in traditional wheelchairs.
The robot can also help find misplaced spectacles by identifying them with a sensor.“We have
developed a robot that can assist many people, but because of the high cost, we still haven’t found
a sponsor,” said Matsumoto, who added that the cost of the machine, if mass-produced, would be
comparable to that of a compact car.
“In the current economic environment there are few companies willing to invest in such a costly
project,” he said.
Other robots, such as the award-winning “DIGRO” can support busy parents who have little
time to play with their children.The robot can use the Internet to find a simple image and then
draw pictures, keeping children company while parents work.
Japan has one of the world’s fastest-ageing societies and the government predicts that by 2050
people over 65 will reach 40 percent of the whole population.
32. According to the passage, robots in Tokyo expo can do the following EXCEPT
__________.
A.playing with kids B. making glasses
C. drawing pictures D.talking with people
33. From the passage we learn that Chap it is .
A.a researcher in Japan B.a common show organizer
C.the most advanced robot D.a sound-sensitive robot
34. Matsumoto’s robot helps people move around .
A. with its wheels. B. with its cameras and sensor
C.when they press buttons D.when they order it to do so
35. What is Matsumoto’s problem with his robot?
A.It is very hard to control it.
B.It is not very useful in real life.
C.It is technically difficult to produce it in large numbers.
D.It is too expensive to attract sponsors.

Is Online School for You?
Have you ever wished you didn’t have to wake up early and go all the way to school? For
700, 000 American kids, this wish comes true. 36 This kind of learning has different names:
online learning or distance learning. Regardless of what it is called, this idea may create an
impression of a lonely kid reading pages of information on a computer screen rather than from a
book or an image of another kid spending the day playing video games instead of learning
mathematics or reading a book. Where online education is concerned, both of these are false!
Actually, online learning simply means learning differently.
37 Flexibility is the main advantage. Students can attend school wherever and whenever
they desire. Homework can be turned in from anywhere the student has Internet access.
Additionally, many online schools will allow students to work at their own pace.
Another advantage of online schooling is with the variety of courses. Most online schools
teach the same basic classes like English, math, science, and history. 38 However, traditional
schools are often unable to offer these types of classes if there are not enough students.
Online schools also have different types of learning tools for kids to use. For example, many
online schools have special Web sites where only students registered in online classes can watch
videos, see lessons presented, or chat with teachers and other students. Some online schools have
live class times where students can call and talk with the teacher directly. 39
Computer technology is amazing, and we use computers for chatting with our friends,
listening to music, and playing games. 40 Since 2006, at least 38 states either have their own
online schools or made rules for students attending them. It looks like online schools are here to
stay, but only you can decide if this type of learning is right for you.
A. Online schools offer many benefits for the learners.
B. Of course, there are some drawbacks of going to school online.
C. Almost every part of our lives is affected by it, and school is no exception.
D. They attend school over the Internet using ordinary home or library computers.
E. Other online schools even have online clubs where kids can talk about their hobbies.
F. Some online schools also offer specialized classes in subjects such as space science, French, or
zoology.
G. For some students, online school may be ideal, but for others, traditional school may better
meet their needs.

It was Grandpa’s birthday party. To have his children or grandchildren all back home
together was not easy. But they just busied them in playing their cellphones, totally ignore their
grandpa, who let out a deep sigh and left the party.
Nowadays, parties and social gatherings no longer excite us the same way they once does.
This is not due to a lack of desire to socialize, but the cellphone. It is no doubt that cellphones have a
negative effect for our lives. Heavy use of cellphone actually widens the distance between teenagers
and their elders, left the elders more lonely. Worse still, addiction to cellphones might also lead
teenagers ’poor performance at school, which adds up to elders ’worries.

Dear Li Hua,
Knowing you can’t go to school on time, we’re really getting upset about it. Dear friend,
there’s no sense worrying about it too much. After all, you merely have a bit of fever.
We all hope to see you soon. Here are some advice that may help you. First, you’d better not
spend time alone. You should share your feelings with others. Secondly, you can talk with your
family, friends or us, and let us know what you are thinking. Finally, if you feel too nervous or
scared, you can turn to a doctor and ask for some treatment.
We all hope you can recover from this disease. We believe you can do it!
Yours,
Classmates
