19．Fly Alone for the First Time
I began flying lessons at the age of 14； but the Federal Aviation Administration requires you to be 16before you make flight by yourself．So I had to wait for two long years until I could fly a plane by myself．I used that time to master the basic maneuvers （要领） of flying．I learned emergency procedures and practiced hundreds of takeoffs and landings until I could land the airplane smoothly without bouncing it down the runway．It wasn't always easy，and many times I would come home feeling discouraged and thinking maybe everyone was right-I would never learn to fly，but by the next day，I was always eager to try again．
On the day of my 16th birthday，I made my first solo flight，which meant I could finally fly alone．The night before，my dad，who was my flight instructor，explained that the winds were forecast to be high．He said if we were in the air by dawn，the winds would probably be calm enough for me to solo．The next morning it was cold，but the sky was completely clear，and the winds were calm．I expected my dad to stay in the plane for at least three takeoffs and landings．But after the first one，he told me to pull off the runway，and he got out of the plane．
I was alone．As I climbed higher and higher，the world began to change．Everything on the ground became miniature．Houses，cars，and all looked like tiny toys that could fit in the surface of my hand．I made three takeoffs and landings that day．Each landing was perfect．It was one of the happiest days of my life．
Today，as a flight instructor，I stand alongside runways watching as my own students take to the sky on their first solo flights．I understand the joy faces，which always bring me back to that day when my dream came true．I learned that no matter how people tell you that you can't do something，if you believe in yourself，you can succeed．

14．Traditionally，across the world，boys and girls attend a mixed school，where they study together．But boys'schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art，dance and music．
Boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness，rather than feeling they had to correspond to （和…相符） the"boy code"of hiding their emotions to be a"real man"．
The findings of the study go against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls．
Tony Little，head master of Eton，warned that boys were being failed by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls．He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls．
The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when girls do better earlier in speaking and reading skills．
But in single-sex schools teachers can tailor lessons to boys'learning style，letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom，wrote the study's author，Abigail James，of the University of Virginia．
Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with"boy-focused"approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them．Because boys generally have more  acute vision，learn best through touch，and are physically more active，they need to be given"hands-on"lessons where they are allowed to walk around．"Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine （女性的） and prefer the modern genre （类型） in which violence and sexism are major themes，"James wrote．
Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel that they had to be"masterful and in charge"in relationships．"In mixed schools，boys feel forced to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means，"the study reported．

8．The author believes that a single-sex school wouldC．
A．force boys to hide their emotions to be"real men"
B．help boys to be more competitive in schools．
C．encourage boys to express their emotions more freely
D．naturally strengthen boys'traditional image of a man
9．It is commonly believed that in a mixed school boysC．
A．behave more responsibly．
B．grow up more healthily．
C．perform relatively better．
D．receive a better education．
10．According to Abigail James，one of the advantages of single-sex schools isA．
A．teaching can be tailored to suit the characteristics of boys
B．boys can focus on their lessons without being distracted
C．boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested in
D．teaching can be designed to promote boys'team spirit
11．What does the underlined word"acute"in paragraph 8mean？B

4．A Dutch artist and designer has come up with a device which he hopes will get rid of pollutants from Beijing's smog skies，creating clean air for the city's mask-wearing people．
An electromagnetic （电磁）field will pull particles（微粒） in the smog to the ground where they can be easily cleaned．"
It's like when you have a balloon which has static（静电） and your hair goes toward it．Same with the smog，"says artist Daan Roosegaarde．
His studio has reached an agreement with the Beijing government to test the technology in one of tile capital's parks．
With its skies regularly covered by dirty gray smog，Beijing this week announced a series of emergency measures to handle the problem．
Roosegaarde says an indoor model device has already proven it works and is confident that the results-with the help of a team of scientists and engineers-can be replicated outside．
"Beijing is quite a good place because the smog in Beijing is quite low．It lies in a valley so there's not so much wind．It's a good environment to explore this kind of thing．"
"We'll be able to purify the air and the challenge is to get the top of the smog so you can see the sun again．"
Roosegaarde acknowledges that projects like this are a way of drawing attention to the problem，rather than a practical solution to Beijing's awful air pollution．
"This is not the real answer for smog．The real answer has to do with clean cars，different industry and different lifestyles．"
However，he hopes the project will make a"fundamental statement"by allowing the city's people to realize the difference between breathing clean and smog-filled air．

25．The device works byB．
A．helping keep the particles out with more masks
B．pulling pollutants to the ground with an electromagnetic field
C．absorbing hair with a balloon with static
D．creating clean air and let it out into the sky
26．According to the passage，C．
A．the Beijing government has agreed to use the technology in Beijing
B．they have proven the results of the device both indoors and outdoors
C．the results of the air-cleaning device can be expectable
D．the Beijing government has never done anything to handle the air pollution
27．What does Roosegaarde really mean by saying"Beijing is quite a good place…"？C
A．The air pollution in Beijing is not quite serious．
B．The weather in Beijing is good for foreigners to live in．
C．Beijing is quite fit for using the air-cleaning device．
D．It is easy to get the top of the smog in Beijing．
28．Roosegaarde appeals to people in Beijing toA．
A．pay attention to air pollution and solve the problem finally
B．invent more devices to clean the smog in Beijing
C．drive modern cars and try different lifestyles
D．realize how serious the pollution they're facing is．

11．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 secret of success．According to the study，if the cat is adopted before the dog，and if they are introduced when still young （less than 6months for cats，a year for dogs），it is highly likely that the two pets will get along swimmingly．Twothirds 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 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 attacking，while a dog doing the same signals giving in．
In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully，researchers observed a surprising behavior．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 thought．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 on the sofa．They can esily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom （梳理） each other．
The meaning 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．
24．The underlined word"swimmingly"in Paragraph 1is closest in meaning toC．
A．early
B．quickly
C．sweetly
D．violently
25．Some cats and dogs may fight whenD．
A．they are cold to each other
B．they look away from each other
C．they are introduced at an early age
D．they misunderstand each other's signals
26．It is suggested in Paragraph 4  that cats and dogsB．
A．have common interests
B．are less different than what we thought
C．have a common body language
D．are less intelligent than what we expected
27．What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs？A
A．We should learn to live in harmony．
B．We should know more about animals．
C．We should live in peace with animals．
D．We should learn more body languages．

8．As the labor market becomes more attractive，more companies are sending their employees to school．Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is the latest company to use tuition assistance for employees-which for decades has been a part of many business'benefits packages-as part of a renewed effort to bring in and cultivate talent．And while the impact of such programs has yet to be fully assessed，many see it as a positive-although gradual-movement．
"For workers，it gives them a better opportunity for development，"says Colleen Flaherty Manchester，a professor．"For firms，they are able to recruit the type of employees who have value education and are less likely to turn over，and thus have a higher level of retention（保留）．"
In all，56percent of US organizations offer undergraduate educational assistance while 52percent offer graduate assistance．
Largely driving the trend are Millennials，who happen to be the fastest-growing people in the US workforce today and to whom the idea of tuition support from employers is especially appealing．Nearly 60percent of Millennials surveyed said they would choose a job with strong professional-development potential over one with regular pay raises．Employers are absolutely adapting to Millennials in the workplace．They recognize that they need more experience，more knowledge，more mentoring to be successful．And they're asking for it．
Of more than 140，000Starbucks employees，only about 4，000have signed up for the company's College Achievement Plan．What the long-term effects such programs might have for companies'retention and turnover rates remain unclear．But，the pluses of these programs are more important than the minuses．We're going to see a lot more of this in the future．
32．Using tuition assistance for employeesC．
A．has attracted a large number of talents
B．is a trend that formed recently
C．has existed for scores of years
D．is well received by employees
33．What can we learn from what Colleen Flaherty said？B
A．It is merely beneficial to employees
B．It is a win-win event for employees and employers．

As has been all too apparent in recent days at Balcombe, few issues cause greater concern than energy policy. Many village communities feel their countryside is being ruined by the power-producing machines of wind farms; yet they never take “ direct action”, even though the planning laws put them at a severe disadvantage. And the generous subsidies(财政补贴),which encourage the expansion of wind power, are not favorable to the village communities and set landowners in conflict with other residents.

Those who disagree with the rapid expansion of wind farms state that the damage they cause is out of proportion to the benefits they bring, because their energy output cannot match that of the carbon-based power stations they are supposed to replace. Supporters insist that wind must be part of a mix of renewables, nuclear and carbon, and that the country is committed to meeting EU(European Union) targets for non-carbon energy generation.

Against this background, the fact that there is an argument within the Government over whether to publish an official report on wind farms impact on the countryside becomes even more extraordinary. The two parties in the coalition government are in disagreement over what it should say.

We have some advice for the two parties :publish the report ,and let the country be the judge. Even if it contains evidence that wind farms are harmful, it will hardly be a pleasant surprise to people who do not like them. Equally, supporters must argue their case by acknowledging the concerns and explaining why they are either misplaced or worthy of much attention.

The suggestion that further negotiations are to take place to produce an “acceptable” report suggests that the politics of coalition government are doing the country harm in a certain way. Given the sensitivities involved ,all the information should be available so that people can reach their own conclusions, rather than being left with the suspicion that facts are being replaced by political beliefs.

1.We call learn from the first paragraph that________.

A. energy policy catches much attention of the public

B. the residents are in favor of the expansion of wind farms

C. many village communities are satisfied with the subsidies

D. the planning laws offer great benefits to the residents

2.Supporters think that the expansion of wind power_____.

A. is more rapid than that of carbon-based power

B. guarantees an increase in energy output

C. is expected to be much better than that of nuclear Dower

D. agrees with EU targets for non-carbon energy generation

3.It can be inferred from the passage that_________.

A. an official report will settle the energy problem

B. the two parties are divided over the issue of wind farms

C. the two parties have agreed on a further negotiation

D. political beliefs concerning energy issue go against facts

4.Which of the following reflects the author’s opinion?

A. Increase political impact on energy policy.

B. Release a statement of supporters on wind farms.

C. Let the nation judge the facts about wind power.

D. Leave the two parties to reach their own conclusions.
