26、   Choosing what you want to do with the rest of your life can be challenging, here are some suggestions on how to choose a college major that you will enjoy.

Let your core classes help you choose a major

If you are still in high school, take a look at each of your classes and identify which ones you enjoy most. If you’re going back to college after starting your career, think back to your best high school classes (e.g. math, biology, history, etc.).This can help you identify your strengths and interests so you can narrow your list of possible university degree programs to a particular field of study.

Prioritize (划分优先顺序)your career wants and needs

First and foremost, a college major should be chosen based on your interest and career goals. However, it is not uncommon for students to select their majors based on the careers of their parents or siblings(兄弟姐妹).If following in their footsteps is not right for the student, then it will likely lead to an unfulfilling education and career.

When choosing a major, it is important to identify what aspects of a career are most important to you (money, creative freedom, helping people, working outdoors etc.).Making a list of your top priorities will shed plenty of light on which degree or major is best for you .Also, talk to your parents and siblings about the choices they made and whether they think those majors and careers would be a good fit for you.

Additional tips for choosing majors

Seeking outside advice, not just from family members, is always recommended when choosing a college major. Talk with career counselors, high school teachers, guidance counselors and students who currently enrolled in a major you are interested in. Speaking to professors at universities or to professionals in the field can also give you a good idea of what you might expect from a career.

There are also tests you can take that give an insight into career matches, dominant personality characters and key interests. While a test should not dictate your choices, it can offer you a new perspective on yourself and open your eyes to majors and career prospects you didn’t consider.

【1】Where does the support for your particular field of study mainly come from?

A.The college courses that you enjoy most.

B.Every class in your high school.

C.The beginning of your career.

D.Your best high school subjects.

【2】The last two paragraphs are mainly to discuss____________.

A.advice from others and tests

B.the careers of parents and siblings

C.suggestions from parents

D.professionals’ ideas about majors

【3】What would be the best title for the passage?

A.My View on College Education.

B.How to Choose the Best College Major for You.

C.Learning to Challenge Career Goals.

D.Offering You a New Perspective on Yourself.

27、   Facebook has released new research findings suggesting social media can harm mental health when used in certain ways.

Facebook’s director of research, David Ginsberg, wrote the report along with social psychologist Moira Burke. The research suggested that social media users who spent a lot of time only reading information - but not interacting with others — reported feeling worse afterward. Users who had interaction during the experience reported having better feelings. It said it is not just social media use that can affect a person’s well-being. Rather, it believes both good and bad effects can result from how the service is used.

A study by Carnegie Mellon University suggested positive results for increased interaction. It found people who sent or received more messages and comments reported better improvements in social support, depression and loneliness. Facebook said these improvements were even greater when the interactions took place with close friends and family.

Facebook’s founding president Sean Parker - who no longer has ties to the company - accused the social media service of using methods that “exploit human psychology”. This development model, Parker claims, created an addictive system to keep people on Facebook for long periods to seek “likes” and comments from others to make them feel good.

Former Facebook executive Chamath Palihapitiya said the problems are being fueled by the basic need of people to seek ongoing feedback from others, leading to the pleasure chemical dopamine （多巴胺）being released in the brain, he added.

Cal Newport is a professor of computer science at Georgetown University in Washington D.C. He urges everyone to consider quitting social media - like he has - and he provides steps for helping people do this.

【1】What does the Facebook research tell us?

A.Social media always make people feel bad.

B.People spend too much time on social media.

C.More interaction in social media makes people feel better.

D.Social media users spend more time reading than interacting.

【2】Why is the study by Carnegie Mellon University mentioned in Paragraph 3?

A.To introduce a different study result.

B.To compare different research findings.

C.To expose links between the two studies.

D.To support the Facebook research finding.

【3】What’s Sean Parker’s present attitude toward social media?

A.Objective. B.Critical. C.Enthusiastic. D.Uninterested.

【4】With his words, Chamath Palihapitiya explained ________.

A.why people become addicted to social media

B.how Facebook was first founded

C.why Parker gave up his company

D.what’s the future of social media

【5】What do you think will follow the end of this text?

A.The process of his research on social media’s effects.

B.Newport’s suggested tips to help people quit social media.

C.Why Newport urges everyone to consider quitting social media.

D.Newport’s unpleasant experiences with social media like Facebook.

28、   Last weekend marked one of the nicest days so far this spring.

It was warm with a tiny breeze; the sun penetrated through lightweight sweaters to warm the skin; the male choir was warming up, and the graduates were walking around the lawn behind the throng of six-thousand-plus observers.

With all of the parents, sisters, brothers, grandparents, aunts and uncles, the state university was a center of activity. My nephew was going to receive his bachelor’s degree. Who would have guessed that four years would go by so quickly?

As the crowd of freshly elegant candidates wandered, joked, hugged and chattered behind the platform, I heard several cell phones ring. There were several nonsensical(无意义)conversations going on with the accompanying giggles of the not-quite-mature students, but then one conversation in particular caught my attention.

“Yes, Grandma, I’m really graduating. I can’t believe it, either!I never thought I’d be here today, you know? Really!Like, I know it!Yes, it’s a very special day...Hold on, we’re lining up...Oh wow, they’ve got hundreds of balloons they’re going to release!Yes, Kelly’s here...Okay, I’ll give her your love…here we go!Gran, I’m graduating!…Love you too, Gran. I’m so glad you could be here with me!”

And somehow, my initial surprise and annoy at the use of cell phones during such a serious occasion left me. These little representatives of modern technology had joined a young woman and her devoted Gran to share a very special moment in time.

【1】The author went to the university to______.

A.enjoy the beautiful spring day B.see how the graduates act

C.see a relative graduate D.receive a bachelor’s degree

【2】Why was the author’s attention was caught?

A.Because the conversation was carried on the cell phone.

B.Because the young woman sounded different from other students.

C.Because several nonsensical conversations were going on.

D.Because a young woman was sharing a special moment with her gran.

【3】How did the author feel after he heard the conversation between the young woman and her grandmother?

A.Surprised. B.Annoyed. C.Puzzled. D.Moved.

【4】What’s the purpose of the author in writing the passage ?

A.To describe an exciting moment in life.

B.To explain the convenience technology brings us.

C.To advise us to use cell phones properly in public places.

D.To describe a common scene in life.

29、   I never thought I would go far from home. I was an ordinary high school student from a working-class family，and I didn’t think traveling the world was in the cards for me. For my  undergraduate and doctor degree，I only applied to universities within an hour of my hometown in the United Kingdom. Staying at the same university seemed like the safe option. A few years later，as I was considering a postdoc（博士后），I once again wanted to stay close to home，in the comfort of my Ph. D. lab. But I hope to run my own lab one day，and I knew that seeing a different approach to science would be valuable.

I heard about a fellowship program in Japan that sounded like a good fit. The flexibility of the program appealed to me. I could choose how long I would be there-rom as little as a month to as month as a year-long enough to experience a new place, learn and get some msearch done but short enough to make the experience less scary. I thought of it almost as a holiday, somewhat like going to a conference in an interesting far-off place.

But when I was accepted, the head of the group I was going to join wanted me to stay for the full year. I hesitated. After much thought, I worked up my courage and signed on for the year-knowing that, if things went badly. I could come home earlier.

Almost everything was different from what I was used to, but getting used to these differences was easier than I had expected. Eating out with my labmates offers a great communicative opportunity. Talking with my new colleagues about their experiences conducting mearch in other countries helped open my eyes to new ways of doing things.

After my fellowship, I thought I would leave Japan to do a postdoc elsewhere. But when my fellowship adviser offered me a longer-term position in his lab. I couldn’t say no. This time,though,it wasn’t because I was afraid to go somewhere new. It was because I wanted to take advantage of an exciting opportunity. After the jump I took with fellowship. I now feel I can do anything.

A. He was a typical in doors man.

B. He always worried too much.

C. He suffered serious homesickness.

D. He liked to stay in familiar places.

【2】What made the author choose the fellowship program in Japan?

35、Directions: Complete the following sentences by using the proper form of the words or expressions given in the frame. Each one can only be used once.

Why your Password May Not Be As Safe As It Seems?  Does “qaz2ws” strike you as a nice safe password? What about “adgjmptw”? An analysis has found them to be among the passwords that are most 【1】 used, which of course means they are not secure at all.

When ten million passwords were leaked on to the internet，they appeared to 【2】that attempts by internet security experts to make us improve our password strength had been successful, even if, in the specific case of the leaked passwords, they are also completely pointless.

While many of the passwords were still single words, such as “password”，there was also a clear attempt by many to make them harder to【3】. The problem was that people seemed to do so in the same way.

“Users are becoming slightly more 【4】what makes a password strong,” explained WP Engine, an internet company that performed the analysis. “For instance, adding a number or two at the end of a text phrase. That makes it better, right?”

But 【5】no. They found that almost half a million passwords did this and in 20 percent of those all people did was put the number “1” at the end.

Perhaps this is why some companies are now trying to move gradually beyond passwords. Yahoo! is giving users the option to 【6】 their mobile phone with an account, having a single use passwords texted to it each time they want to log on.

Although the serviced is voluntary, Dylan Casey an executive at Yahoo!，said that it was “the first step to【7】passwords”. He said it was a(n)【8】that it was increasingly hard for people to remember all the passwords they had. “I don’t think we, as an industry, have done a good enough job of putting ourselves in the shoes of the people using our products,” he said.

It would certainly be a more sensible strategy than same people’s improving upon “password” by using “password” or，“tran5p053d numb3r5 f0r 133tr3r5”.

“We are, for the most part，predictably【9】when it comes to choosing passwords, despite a decade of warnings from password strength checkers during sign-ups” said WP Engine. “We love taking a(n) 【10】, and so do password crackers.

36、Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Knowledge is free on the Internet at a small but 【1】 number of colleges and universities. About 160 schools around the world now put free course materials on the web to the 【2】. Recent additions in the United States 【3】 projects at Yale, Johns Hopkins and the University of California, Berkeley.

Berkeley said it would offer videos of lectures on YouTube. Free videos from other schools are 【4】 at the Apple iTunes store.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) became an early 【5】 with its Open Course Ware project, first 【6】 in 2001. Free lecture notes, exams and other resources are published at ocw.mit.edu. Many exams even include the answers. Today, Open Course Ware offers materials from 1,800 undergraduate and graduate courses. These 【7】 from Physics to Political Science. Visitors can learn the same things as MIT students learn. But as the site points out, Open Course Ware is not an MIT education. Visitors receive no credit toward a degree.

My daughter

(A story told by a father, a famous actor)

My wife and I only had the one child. We had Amy.

I see her as my best friend. I think she’d always come to me first if she had a problem. We have the same sense of humor, and share interests. 【1】 I don’t mind animals, she’s completely fascinated with them, and she has always had dogs, cats, horses, and goldfish in her life.

We were 【2】 (close) when she was about four, which I think is a lovely age for a child. They know the parents best, and don’t have outside contacts. She must have grown up suddenly when she went to school, because I remember her growing away from her family slightly. Any father who has a teenager daughter comes across an extraordinary collection of people, and there seemed to be an endless stream of strange young men 【3】 (come) through our house. By the time I learned their names they 【4】 (go) away and I had to start learning a new lot.

I wanted more than anything else for her to be happy in 【5】 she was doing, and I was prepared to pull strings to help her on her way. When she left a good school she decided she wanted to become an actress so I got her into drama school. It wasn’t to her liking so she joined a theatre group and began doing bits and pieces in films. She was doing well, but then gave it up. She probably found it boring. Then she took up social work, and finally went to work 【6】a designer and he became her husband. And that’s really the story of her life. She must be happy with him—they’re always together.

We have such similar tastes in books and music 【7】 I used to take her to see an opera, which is my big passion. However, I don’t think she likes it very much. She doesn’t come with me anymore.

I don’t think she’s a big television watcher. She knows when I’m on the television, and she 【8】 watch, but I don’t know. It’s not the kind of thing she tells me.

We’re very grateful for Amy. She’s a good daughter as daughters go. We’re looking forward to being grandparents.

The Dickensons lived on the eastern coast of America and the three boys, Carl, Simon, and little Ben loved the water. The elder brothers usually helped their dad on his farm and took care of their little brother.

There was an island off shore in the distance. One Saturday the two elder brothers decided to go there for an adventure. When they were leaving, their father said, “Boys, I have to go to town and I want you to take care of Ben. You can carry him together but be careful!” Although they thought Ben was too young to take risks, they still took him.

When the three arrived at the shore, they were lucky to find an old rowboat with oars (桨).Carl and Simon took turns to paddle (划桨)the boat.

Suddenly they noticed the old boat leaking slowly. Carl asked them not to worry and said that they could empty water when they got back. But as the boys neared the island, they struck a rock hidden under the water. It enlarged the hole, more water pouring in. They were glad to be safe on shore!

“How can we get back with the weight of us?” Simon wondered.

Carl answered “You row Ben across, and then come back for me. If we move fast, it won’t sink with only two.” Simon agreed.

The boys started to explore the island. It was flat with many trees. In a couple of hours they had gone all around the island, but when they headed for their boat, they were shocked! Their boat was bumping against trees. The tide was coming in! The island was disappearing!

The boys took a rock and tried to fill it into the hole but they only made it worse because of the old wood. Carl thought a minute “Simon, you take Ben as fast as you can. Then run for the house and see if Dad can come to rescue me. I can climb a tree or something that will give me maybe another hour.” The brothers hugged. Then Carl turned the boat around, helped Ben get in and pushed it as hard as he could toward home

Paragraph 1:

Half an hour passed and only a small part of the island was above water now.

In a few minutes, dad picked up Carl into his motorboat and hugged him.
