6．Once Chinese students in American schools were largely limited to graduate students．Gradually that trend shifted，with more students coming from China to earn bachelor's degrees at American institutions．Now，the population is widening once again，with many Chinese students studying in the U，S．from ever-younger ages．
Bill Zhou，a resident of California，though born in Shenzhen，and his wife are currently housing just such a student：Hsu，also from Shenzhen，who is living with Zhou （a paid arrangement） while he attends a private，religious institution．．
Although Zhou is caring，he knows there are many people taking advantage of the trend who lack conscience．In a Lost Angeles Times article，Zhou described his reservations about the current system．"They don't know if the school is good．They don't know if the home stay is good．But everyone else is doing it，so they do it，too，"Zhou said，addressing the parents of so-called parachute（降落傘）children，who earn the nickname by"parachuting"into the U．S．by themselves，unaccompanied by family．
Based on statistics，Zhou has reason to be concerned．A recent article in Sixth Tone'，stated that the number of Chinese students enrolled at U．S．secondary schools increased from just 647 in 2006 to more than 46，000 in 2016．Those numbers are reflected in Chinese society and even popular culture，where a new television drama titled"A Love for Separation"was released several months ago．
"It is a common misunderstanding that studying in a private American high school is easier than in China，a mother told．"My son is under enormous pressure to compete with accomplished peers．He was very lonely during his first year of high school，and found it hard to assimilate into an unfamiliar environment．"
Chinese parents send their teenagers abroad for varieties of reasons．For some students，it is to escape the strict Chinese education system； for others，it is a second chance to recover from bad grades or a low score on China's college entrance exam．For still others，it is simply a lifelong dream．

24．What's Bill Zhou's attitude towards the trend of growing parachute children？C
A．Positive'．B．Indifferent      C．Concerned       D：Opposed
25．What does the underlined phrase"assimilate into"in Paragraph 5 mean？D
A．show respect to   B．get rid of     C．take advantage of    D．fit in with
26．Which is not the reason why increasing parents send their little children abroad？B
A．They just follow the crowd．
B．They just show off their large treasure．
C．They want their children to break away from Chinese education system．
D．They want to give their children with poor grades another chance to succeed．．
27．What's the author's purpose in writing the text？D
A．To help these parents to choose a reliable home stay．．
B．To remove these parents doubts about studying abroad．．
C．To encourage these parents to send their kids abroad as early as possible．
D．To remind these parents to be more sensible before sending their kids abroad..

2．Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home？People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight．A recent research has found a new recipe of success．According to the study，if the cat is adopted before the dog，and if they are introduced when still young （less than 6 months for cats，a year for dogs），it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly．Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog．
    However，it wasn't all sweetness and light．There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes，while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes．One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite．For example，when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression，while a dog doing the same signals submission．
    In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully，researchers observed a surprising behaviour．They are learning how to talk each other's language．It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk'dog'，and dogs can learn how to talk'Cat'．
    What's interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence．They can learn to read each other's body signals，suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously suspected．Once familiar with each other's presence and body language，cats and dogs can play together，greet each other nose to nose，and enjoy sleeping together in the sofa．They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom（梳理）each other．
    The significance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets--to people who don't get along，including neighbors，colleagues at work，and even world superpowers．If cats and dogs can learn to get along，surely people have a good chance．

46．The underlined word swimmingly in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning toD．
A．earlyB．sweetlyC．quicklyD．smoothly
47．Some cats and dogs may fight whenC．
A．they are cold to each other
B．they look away from each other
C．they misunderstand each other's signals
D．they are introduced at an early age
48．What is found surprising about cats and dogs？C
A．They eat and sleep together
B．They observe each others behaviors
C．They learn to speak each other's language
D．They know something from each other's voice
49．It is suggested in paragraph 4 that cats and dogsB．
A．have common interests
B．a(chǎn)re less different than was thought
C．have a common body language
D．a(chǎn)re less intelligent than was expected
50．What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs？A
A．We should learn to live in harmony
B．We should knows more about animals
C．We should live in peace with animals
D．We should learn more body languages．

14．Over the past sixteen years of my life，I have grown to be a very independent person．This can be both good and bad in the sense that I am able to do things （21）on my own，yet at times struggle with taking advice from others．Sometimes，hearing what other people have to say can be one of the hardest things to do．However，getting advice from （22）whoever cares about you can impact your life in great ways．Because of this，I began realizing that my mom's guidance throughout my life has never steered me wrong．This is why I believe you （23）should/must always listen to your mother．
This belief has not been easy （24）to realize （realize）．It has taken endless amounts of time in which I decided to go against what my mom had to say，and later discovered that she was right．I think we can all agree that （25）admitting/to admit （admit） your mom was right is always a hard thing to do．But what else are you supposed to say （26）when/while/if you are standing outside in the freezing cold，shaking because you did not wear that extra jacket you （27）were told/had been told （tell） to wear？

1．
A．The greatest advantage of the tutorial system is the individual attention that students receive．
B．Tutorials can be considered the backbone of undergraduate teaching at Oxford．
C．Sometimes，the student may leave a tutorial with only a reading list and the title of the next essay．
D．Tutorials can greatly enhance the undergraduates'academic performance．
E．The greatest advantage of the tutorial system is the various curriculums that students receive．
F．In the mean time，tutorials are also beneficial for developing students'skills of critical analysis．
The Tutorial System of Oxford University
In the University of Oxford，teaching is conducted primarily through the tutorial system．It is one of the most unique and well-known methods of teaching across the world．
The weekly tutorial consists of a one-hour meeting between the tutor and small numbers of students （usually two to four）．During this time，an essay prepared specifically for that tutorial is read by students and commented upon by the tutor．At the end of the tutorial，the tutor will assign the topic of study for the coming week and suggest readings．（67）B Meanwhile，they are also complemented by departmental lectures which are conducted on a university wide basis，lab work，and seminars （研討會） often with groups of perhaps 10students．
Tutorials have gained their reputation because of the close relationship they maintain between the tutor and the student．The tutorial system provides undergraduates with direct and in most cases weekly contact with tutors in their academic fields．（68）F
Before the weekly tutorial，students are required to prepare an essay or other works，which they read or present to the tutor．During each tutorial，students are expected to communicate，debate，analyze and critique the ideas of others as well as their own in conversations with the professor and fellow-students．The tutorial system has great value that it creates learning and assessment opportunities which are highly authentic （可靠的） and difficult to fake，as the student's work is discussed on the spot．
（69）A The contrast between tutorials and large lectures common in the American universities is obvious．In the typical American university，students are taught by the same specialists，in the same manner，and held to the same standards．
However，during tutorials，students have the opportunity to explore their own ideas directly with experts in particular subjects．（70）C As a result，students must engage in extensive independent reading and research，using the resources available，under the guidance of the tutor．

"Let me tell you a story，"he said．"My mother is in hospital with cancer．I visit her every day and bring her flowers．I went this morning，and she got mad at me for spending my money on more flowers．She demanded that I do something else with that money．So，here，please accept this．It is my mother's flowers．"

16．It all began with a stop at a red light．
    Kevin Saiwen was driving his 14-year-old daughter，Hannah，back from a sleepover in 2006．While waiting at a traffic light，they saw a black Mercedes Coupe on one side and a homeless man begging for food on the other．
"Dad，if that man had a less nice car，that man there could have a meal．"Hannah protested．The light changed and they drove on，but Hannah was too young to be reasonable．She pestered （糾纏）her parents about inequity，insisting that she wanted to do something．
"What do you want to do？"her mom responded．"SelI our house？"
    Warning!Never suggest a grand gesture to an idealistic teenager．Hannah seized upon the idea of selling the luxurious family home and donating half the proceeds （收入）to charity，while using the other half to buy a more modest replacement home．
    Eventually，that's what the family did．The project--crazy，impetuous （魯莽的）and absolutely inspiring--is written down in detail in a book by father and daughter scheduled to be published next month：The Power of Half．It's a book that，frankly，I'd be nervous about leaving around where my own teenage kids might find it．An impressionable child reads this，and the next thing you know your whole family is out on the street．
    At a time of enormous needs in Haiti and elsewhere，when so many Americans are trying to help Haitians by sending everything from text messages to shoes，the Salwens offer an example of a family that came together to make a difference-for themselves as much as the people they were trying to help．In a column a week ago，it described neurological （神經(jīng)學的）evidence from brain scans （掃描）that unselfishness lights up parts of the brain normally associated with more primary satisfaction．The Salwens'experience confirms the selfish pleasures of selflessness．
    Mr．Salwen and his wife，Joan，had always assumed that their kids would be better off in a bigger house．But after they downsized，there was much less space to retreat to，so the family members spent more time around each other．A smaller house unexpectedly turned out to be a more family-friendly house．

41．What does the underlined word"inequity"most probably mean in Paragraph 3？A
A．Unfairness．
B．Satisfaction．
C．Personal attitude．
D．Reasonable statement．
42．What is suggested in the underlined sentence"Never suggest a grand gesture to an idealistic teenager．"in Paragraph 5？D
A．Never advise an idealistic child to make a grand gesture．
B．Unless a child is realistic，never give any promise．
C．Give an immediate answer if the child is reasonable．
D．Don't respond to a child's demands without consideration．

A．The Salwens donated a lot to charity though they weren't rich．
B．Unselfishness comes from people's primary satisfaction．
C．Hannah's parents sold their house at Hannah's request．
D．The writer's children asked him to sell their house．
44．What can we learn from the last paragraph？B
A．The Salwens regretted selling their house．
B．The family members got much closer．
C．People living in small houses are happy．
D．The Salwens intend to buy another big house．
45．The best title for the passage should be"D"．
A．The Less，the Better
B．An Expected Satisfaction
