【題目】 If you’ve done your last year of school but are not yet ready to settle down to life at university or college, why not think about taking a break and having a gap year? Over 200,000 people between the ages of 18 and 25 did this last year.

【1】 You will become more confident and independent and learn to get on with all sorts of different people during the year, which will help you when you go to university or college. 【2】 Students who have had a gap year are more likely to be satisfied with their chosen courses and, therefore, are more likely to finish them.

【3】 Doing voluntary work overseas is one of the most rewarding ways of spending your gap year. If you don’t want to work, there are plenty of other exciting educational possibilities to consider. How about studying art history in Italy? Perhaps you would like to take up acting and want to try a drama course in your gap year. 【4】 Maybe it has always been your dream to visit China, or India or even Australia.

Of course, you don’t have to leave home. The key to a constructive gap year is to learn new skills and work out what you want to do with your life. You can do this just as easily in your own country as you can on the other side of the world. 【5】.

A. There are many reasons to take a gap year.

B. The universities actively encourage gap year.

C. What are the most common types of gap year?

D. Having a gap year can help gain relevant work experience and key skills.

E. There are plenty of established volunteering project you can research online.

F. Perhaps you would rather just fill your backpack and go off on an adventure.

G. Employers will often ask you what you gained from the year, not where you went.

【2】D

【題目】The Metro-Boston public bike share system, Hubway, is now available at a significant discount to low-income people. "SNAP Card to Ride" was started by the cities of Boston, Cambridge, Somerville and the Town Of Brookline.

“SNAP Card to Ride”provides $5 monthly memberships and $50 annual memberships to people over the age of 16 with their household EBT (電子福利轉(zhuǎn)賬) card. The membership includes unlimited 60-minute trips, rather than the present 30-minute trips, without additional fees.

The program is part of an ongoing commitment to improving bike share access among traditionally underserved populations. Those who don't receive SNAP benefits but participate in other public assistance programs will be able to gain access to the discounted membership program in the near future.

Convenient, easy online registration (注冊(cè)) is available for EBT card holders at thehubwav.com/SNAP/. After completing registration, members will have access to over 1,800 bikes at 194'stations across the four municipalities (自治市). Members with smartphone access can also use the Hubway mobile app to locate and unlock bikes.

“The city of Boston is pleased to be part of the SNAP Card to Ride partnership, and we look forward to increasing the number of stations and bikes in Boston over the next 18 months,”said Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh.

“Hubway shows that bike share is fulfilling its promise as a vital part of the Boston area's transportation network -- increasing access to the area's existing transportation network as well as areas underserved by public transportation,”said Jay H. Walder, CEO of Hubway.“We're eager to continue to help grow a system that has truly served as an inspiration for a whole generation of bike share programs across the nation.”

Winter riding is available in all four municipalities for the first time this year, following several years of winter operations in the city of Cambridge. Boston, Brookline, Cambridge and Somerville announced major expansion of the publicly-owned system. In all they'll add over 100 new stations in 2018 and 2019, providing over 300 stations and approximately 3,000 bicycles for public use.

【1】Who can enjoy the "SNAP Card to Ride" program now?

A. Anyone with a low income.

B. Anyone benefiting from SNAP.

C. Anyone over sixteen with an EBT card.

D. Anyone joining public assistance programs.

【2】Why did Hubway start the new program?

A. To market their membership.

B. To help poor people out of poverty.

C. To let more people benefit from bike share.

【3】What has to be done in order to enjoy "SNAP Card to Ride"?

A. paying for their mobile app. B. . Completing registration online.

【題目】 The origin of coffee? I never really thought about it. When I was a kid, coffee was always around. My parents drank coffee, my grandparents drank coffee, and all the adults I knew drank coffee. I thought I would drink it too when I was older, and of course. I did.

But there must have been a time before coffee. I don't remember coffee making an appearance in any of the Bible(圣經(jīng))stories I learned. Jesus changed water into wine, not coffee. Maybe if coffee had been around, he would have changed some of the water into coffee. Maybe that's what “B. C." in those timelines meant: "before coffee."

According to popular legend, the origin of coffee can be traced to a thousand years ago, when an Abyssinian(Ethiopian)goatherd(牧羊人)named Kaidi observed his goats dancing and jumping. When Kaidi investigated, he saw that the goats were happily eating the red berries（漿果)of an unfamiliar tree. Kaidi decided to try some, and when he did he joined the dancing goats and became “the happiest herder in happy Arabia'.

Some time later, a passing monk(和尚)observed Kaidi and the goats. When Kaidi told him about the berries, the monk thought they might be the answer to his prayers(祈禱). It seems that the monk was always falling asleep in the middle of prayers. When he ate the berries, he stayed awake. The unnamed monk came up with the idea of drying and boiling the berries. It came into the world. His fellow monks loved the new drink because it encouraged them to pray and it tasted good too.

So now that I know about Kaidi and his goats, if someday-in the far, far future, of course someone calls me an "old goat", I'll just smile, take another sip of coffee, and maybe do a little dance.

【1】Why didn't Jesus change water into coffee?

A.Because Jesus didn't like coffee.

B.Because coffee didn't appear at that time.

C.Because it was not the right time to have coffee.

D.Because Jesus was better at changing water into wine.

【2】What is the tone of the author when writing the text?

A.Serious.B.Objective.

C.Scientific.D.Humorous.

【3】The underlined word “it" in paragraph 4 refers to ________.

A.a kind of new drink

B.a kind of food made by monks

C.a kind of soup needed to be boiled

D.a kind of drug encouraging people to keep awake

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A.The Origin of Coffee.

B.The Development of Coffee.

C.The Popularity of Coffee in the World.

D.The Coffee-drinking Tradition in My Family.

【題目】University can be the most sociable time of your life. For most students, social media is the glue that holds packed social diaries together. Facebook will let you know if a game is cancelled, Twitter can promote your DJ set in 140 characters, and your Instagram account will remind you when there are new photos.

These tools have made the world increasingly connected, and most students wouldn’t consider shunning them at such a sociable stage of their lives. But social media is by no means a requirement at university, and many do without.

“I’m a private person and don’t feel the need to share everything with everybody I know,” says Caty Forster, 20, a student at the University of Manchester, who has never used Facebook or Twitter. Despite social media’s benefits, Forster is largely indifferent. Bethany Elgood, 25, stopped using Facebook after she discovered she had developed a bit of an anxiety towards the social media platforms that contain lots of personal details.”

I quit Facebook when I was 13. I left because, not only was I bored of passively involved in its Newsfeed, I was also experiencing anxiety. To me, Facebook meant clicking and nosing around people’s lives.

People would ask, “How do you keep in touch with people?” and “Won’t you miss out anything important?” I was in agreement with Forster, who says, “I never feel like I’m missing out too much. I don’t feel like I’d have anything valuable to share or gain from it.”

Adrienne Jolly, a careers advisor at UEA, says, “It’s hard to prove reliable statistics on social media. But it’s generally accepted that social media networks are pretty influential in this process—for better or worse.”

You might decide quitting social media isn’t practical in the long run. However, if its ugly side is bringing you down, why not consider taking leave? By doing so, I gained confidence and a strong connection with reality.

【1】The author listed three kinds of social media to prove they _______.

A. are important for him and others like Caty

B. have the power to make students learn more

C. are frequently used by many university students

D. should be used by all of the students in universities

【2】The underlined word“shunning”in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “___________”

A. avoiding B. choosing

C. using D. adding

【3】Why doesn’t Bethany use social media?

A. She hates to share everything with others.

B. She hopes her personal information is safe.

C. She buries herself in the busy studies every day.

D. She doesn’t care what has happened to her friends.

【4】What is the attitude of Adrienne Jolly to using social media online?

A. She is completely against them. B. She herself refuses to use them.

C. She is completely for them. D. She is objective.

【題目】Directions : Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

When we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get a good score on a certain kind of test, or even the ability to do well in school. 【1】 The true test of intelligence is not how much we know how to do，but how we behave when we don’t know what to do.

The intelligent person, young or old, meeting a new situation or problem, opens himself up to it. He tries to take in with mind and senses everything he can about it. He thinks about it, instead of about himself or what it might cause to happen to him. If he fails to master it, he looks without fear or shame at his mistakes and learns what he can from them. This is intelligence. 【2】 Just as clearly, unintelligence is not what most psychologists seem to suppose, the same thing as intelligence, only less of it. It is an entirely different style of behavior, out of entirely set of attitudes.

Years of watching and comparing bright children with the not-bright，or less bright, have shown that they are very different kinds of people. The bright child is curious about life and reality, eager to get in touch with it, unite himself with it. 【3】 On the other hand, the dull child is far less curious, far less interested in what goes on and what is real. The bright child likes to experiment, to try things out. He lives by the maxim that there is more than one way to skin a cat. 【4】 The dull child is usually afraid to try at all, It takes a great deal of urging to get him to try even once； if that try fails, he is through.

A. Clearly its roots lie in a certain feeling about life.

B. If he can’t do something one way, he’ll try another.

C. He takes it for granted that he is the most intelligent guy in the world.

D. He continues his pursuit until he finally succeeds.

E. By intelligence we mean a style of life, a way of behaving in various situations.

F. There is no wall between himself and life.
