17.Traveling to Cuba as an American is like jumping through hoops(環(huán)).To help you better prepare for your trip,here are what you need to know about traveling to Cuba.
You wilI need to obtain a visa to travel to Cuba.You'11need to apply for the visa associated with your travel purposes,such as religious or medical travel,family visits,or people-to-people travel,which is the most common type of visa attained by Americans.
Because of the U.S.restriction,banks have not yet been able to establish a foothold in Cuba,meaning it's a cash-focused country.You can exchange currency at the José Martí International Airport or at your hotel.Keep in mind that there is a 10percent fee to exchange U.S.currency for Cuban currency.You'11also want to be sure to carry change for tips.
You can reserve a hotel room in Cuba online.Then you can call to confirm your reservation.You can also book through a travel agency.However,payment can be tricky:Even if you pay for your room through your travel agent,the restriction may prevent your payment from reaching your hotel in time(another reason to book well in advance).Come prepared with enough cash to cover the cost,just in case.
If you expect to find the blue waters,volcanic landscapes and beautiful villages of other nearby islands,you'11be disappointed.But beauty is not hard to find here.Old Havana-a UNESCO World Heritage Site-is home to splendid architecture and a bit of paladars(privately owned res-taurants).Limited economic opportunities have led Cubans to be creative in other ways.You can't go two blocks without coming across street paintings,art studios and joyful ballet music.
4.Most Americans get the visa to Cuba byB.
A.family visits
B.people-to-people travel
C.religious travel
D.medical travel

16.Would the world be more peaceful if women were in charge?A challenging new book by the Harvard University psychologist Steven Pinker says that the answer is"yes".
In The Better Angels of Our Nature,Pinker presents data showing that human violence,while still very much with us today,has been gradually declining.Moreover,he says,"over the long sweep of history,women have been and will be a peaceful force.Traditional war is a man's game:tribal women never band together to attack neighboring villages."As mothers,women tend to maintain peaceful conditions in which to bring up their children.
Skeptics(懷疑者)immediately reply that women have not made war simply because they have rarely been in power.If they were empowered as leaders.the disorder of the world would force them to make the same waxlike decisions that men do.Margaret Thatcher,Golda Meir,and Indira Gandhi were powerful women;all of them led their countries to war.
But it is also true that these women rose to leadership by playing according to the political rules of"a man's world."It was their success consistent with male values that enabled their rise to leadership in the first place.In a world in which women were in the majority of leadership positions,they might behave differently in power.
So we are left with the broader question:does gender(性別)really matter in leadership?In terms of traditional opinion,various psychologieM studies show that men tend towards the hard power ofcommand,while women are cooperative and naturally understand the soft power of attraction and persuasion.
The key choices about war and peace in our future will depend not on gender,but on how leaders combine hard and soft power skills to produce smart policies.Both men and women will make those decisions.
61.Which of the following does Pinker agree?B
A.Human violenee has been increasing.
B.Men play a vital role in traditional war.
C.Women have not made war due to their powerlessness.
D.Women prefer to take care of their babies at home.
62.The author mentions Margaret Thatcher,Golda Meir,and Indira Gandhi to sayD.
A.they were all women
B.they also acted as leaders
C.they were all heroes
D.they also made war
63.How did these women rise to leadership?B
A.By entering a famous university.
B.By following values similar to men's.
C.By showing their good character.
D.By playing political games.
64.In terms of traditional opinion,C.
A.men prefer cooperation
B.men are wiser than women
C.women know well about soft power
D.women are excellent leaders
65.What does the writer intend to tell us?A
A.War and peace depend on wise policies made by men or women.
B.We had better choose women as our leaders if we want peace.
C.Women are more likely to nlake smart policies than men.
D.Men tend to lead their countries to war.

"The most important thing for kids today to remember is that every person is valuable and important,and they have to respect their bodies and themselves,and behave i

20.In the next five years,STEM (science,technology,engineering and mathematics) jobs are projected to grow twice as quickly as jobs in all other fields according to the U.S.Bureau of Statistics.While all jobs are expected to grow by 10.4percent,STEM jobs are expected to increase by 21.4percent.
By this measure,future STEM jobs represent a huge opportunity to today's students.But,in fact,of the 3.8million ninth graders in the U.S.,only 233,000end up choosing a STEM degree in college,according to the National Center for Education Statistics.This means only 6percent of ninth graders will become STEM graduates.And of these graduates,women will be even more underrepresented in most STEM fields.
These are alarming statistics.How do we get more young boys and girls to be interested in STEM-related fields?It isn't an easy task.Schools do not always adequately prepare students for these severe subjects,and college programs are designed to get rid of those who are less persistent.Nationally,only 41 percent of initial STEM majors who begin a degree in STEM-related fields complete their degree in less than six years.
In addition,social pressures continue to cast a shadow over girls who might otherwise consider the STEM fields.A couple of years ago,I met amazing parents,both of whom had a background in engineering and hoped their 10-year-old daughter would follow in their footsteps.They encouraged her to take an after-school science/robotics program.When she got there,she found she was outnumbered 6:1by boys in the class.As the only girl,she came home crying much of the time because she was teased and told that geeky girls are not welcome in the boys'club.Ironically,by the time young boys are entering college programs in STEM fields,many complain about the lack of girls.
Starting at an early age,even as young as kindergarten,we need to encourage and help the next generation leaders to consider taking up science,computing,math and technology.We also need to realize that for young girls to be inspired to take and stick with this educational path and later career field,they will benefit from the support of the people that surround them:parents,teachers,friends and family members.

56.The STEM statistics are used in the passage mainly to show thatD.
A.STEM jobs will be easily available in the future
B.boys have more advantages over girls in STEM
C.the number of STEM students is rapidly declining
D.America will face serious shortage of STEM talents
57.A large number of STEM students stop their studies whenB.
A.they get bored with the subjects           B.they can't stick to their hard studies
C.they feel they have learnt adequately      D.they can easily find jobs in other fields
58.From the passage we can learn that few girls enter the STEM fields partly becauseB.
A.few STEM boys like to study with girls    
B.there is widespread prejudice against girls
C.most girls are bad at the required subjects  
D.most girls take little interest in STEM jobs
59.In the writer's opinion,what should we do now?C
A.Show the students the advantages of STEM jobs.
B.Provide college graduates with more STEM jobs.
C.Encourage more young children to take up STEM.
D.Make people aware of the importance of STEM.

10.The very first capsule hotel to be opened in Shanghai has attracted many budget travelers with its prices,even though it is not fully operational yet.
The hotel consists of 68"capsules",each 1.1-meters high,1.1-meters wide and 2.2-meters long.The basic rate is 28 Yuan ($4.22)per person,plus an additional 4 yuan an hour.The hotel also offers a package of 68 yuan for 10 hours and 88 yuan for 24 hours.
All of the capsules are imported from Japan where capsule hotels originated,and each is equipped with independent sockets,clocks,lights,TV and wireless Internet service.The hotel also has a public lavatory,shower room,smoking room and shared guest room.
"This is a huge bargain compared with other budget hotels in Shanghai,"said Ta Zan,the owner of the hotel.Ta used to stay at capsule hotels in Tokyo during his undergraduate years and worked at a capsule hotel while he was doing his MBA in Japan in 2005,so he knows how they work and how to make guests feel comfortable.
He based the hotel on capsule hotels in Japan but he has made some special changes based on Chinese guests'habits."In Japan capsule hotels are usually equipped with bathtubs,but in China people are more willing to take a shower,so we have the shower room,"he said.He has also separated the capsules into three snoring (打鼾的) zones so that guests who often snore won't disturb others.Like most of capsule hotels in Japan,the one in Shanghai is for men only.
But the idea of staying in such a compact space is not appealing to everyone."I feel the idea is like putting a person in a coffin (棺材),and the price is also not that appealing.A bed at a youth hotel in Shanghai costs about 60 Yuan per night,"said Wang Lei,a student from Beijing.
56.The first capsule hotels in the world appeared in.A
A.Japan        B.Shanghai            C.Beijing         D.America
57.If you stay in the capsule hotel in Shanghai for 8 hours,you will have to pay     yuan.B
A.28           B.60           C.68          D.88
58.The capsule hotel in Shanghai differs from those in Japan in that.C
A.it serves men as well as women                     
B.its capsule is much larger
C.it has a shower room                        
D.it has no snoring zones
59.What does the underlined word"compact"mean?D
A.Dear     B.Cheap  C.Clean   D.Close.
60.We can know from the passage that.C
A.each capsule of the hotel has a private lavatory
B.a(chǎn)ll the capsules of the hotel were made in China
C.no guest has ever stayed in the capsule hotel in Shanghai
D.everybody considers the capsule hotel a nice place to stay.

17.When it comes to President Obama,most of his personal business is already known by the public.Personal information about his children,Malia and Sasha,however,has been kept a little more under wraps.
The New York Times recently released a list of rules that Michelle Obama has mentioned over the years that Malia and Sasha must follow during their time in the White House,as well as in general.See how the first family educates their children:
The girls must write reports about what they've seen on their trips,even if it's not required by their school.
Malia may use her cell phone only on the weekends,and she and her sister cannot watch television or use a computer for anything but homework during the week.
Malia and Sasha have to play two sports:one they choose and one selected by their mother.
Malia must learn to do laundry(洗衣服) before she leaves for college.
The girls have to eat their vegetables,and if they say they are not hungry,they cannot ask for cookies or chips later.
While these might be shocking to some,Michelle said,"They're not little princess.It's just basic rules,boundaries,and expectations that we would have normally."
Michelle also mentions another set of rules:
The girls must do their chores(家務(wù)),though the White House has a large staff.Malia and Sasha have chores of their own.
They must play a team sport,because it's about learning how to play on a team,how to lose and how to win gracefully.

It sounds like Michelle and Barack want the best for their kids and to make them as well-rounded as possible.What are your thoughts on the Obama family rules?
41.What's the passage mainly about?B
