Scotland's schools operate a Curriculum(课程) for Excellence which provides knowledge and skills to all nursery, primary and secondary schooling between the ages of 3 - 18. All 3- and 4-year-old children in Scotland have access to a free nursery place. Formal primary education begins at approximately 5 years old and lasts for 7 years. During their secondary education, children in Scotland study Standard Grades, or Intermediate(中级的) qualifications between the ages of 13 and 16 . The school leaving age is 16, after which students may choose to remain at school for one or two years to study for Higher Grade or Advanced Higher qualifications. Then they can have further education by attending colleges or universities.There are fifteen Scottish universities, some of which are among the oldest in the world. These include the University of St Andrews, the University of Glasgow, the University of Aberdeen and the University of Edinburgh—many of which are ranked among the best in the UK. Proportionally, Scotland had more universities in QS' World University Rankings' top 100 in 2012 than any other nation. Also, the country produced 1% of the world's published research with less than 0.1% of the world's population. Scotland’s University Courts are the only bodies in Scotland authorized to award degrees.Besides Scotland's universities, Further and Higher Education is provided by 43 colleges as well.Colleges offer National Certificates, Higher National Certificates, and Higher National Diplomas. These Group Awards, alongside Scottish V ocational（职业的）Qualifications, aim to ensure Scotland's population has the appropriate skills and knowledge to meet workplace needs. In 2014, research reported by the Office for National Statistics found that Scotland was the most highly educated country in Europe and among the most well-educated in the world in terms of higher education attainment.24. What do we know about Scottish education?A. Students can go to university directly after finishing Standard Grades.B. Students of all ages receive free education.C. A university student is at least 17 years old.D. Only knowledge is taught at schools.25. The underlined word “proportionally” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.A. Considering Scotland’s populationB. regardless of Scotland’s historyC. in terms of the number of universitiesD. despite its education system26. Scottish college awards and vocational qualifications serve to ________.A. improve the employmentB. award the students with degreesC. prepare the workforce with proper skillsD. compete with universities home and abroad27. The purpose of the text is to ________.A. compareB. introduceC. advertiseD. persuadeCTo be financially secure and spiritually pleased, a man who has an occupation ought to have two or three hobbies. It tends to make people laugh by saying: “I will develop hobbies when I am retired.” Such a promise is like a bubble which will burst in the end, leaving pleasure forever beyond. On the other side , if a man is only interested in acquiring knowledge and abilities irrelevant to his daily work, it is also hard to get true pleasure in the long run.Broadly speaking, hobbies for those who have jobs should be practical. For example, it is impractical for a construction worker, after a hard week’s manual labor, to develop the interest of playing football on Saturday afternoon. It is also unlikely for a politician or a business man, who has been working or worrying about serious things for six days, to attend drama courses at the weekend.It may also be said that laborers are divided into two classes: first, those whose work is work and whose pleasure is pleasure; and secondly, those whose work is everything and pleasure just exists in work. The former are the majority. They have their compensations. The long hours in the office or the factory bring them money, not only as the means of livelihood, but as a driving force for pleasure beyond their work. But for the second class, the working hours are never long enough. Each day is enjoyed like a holiday, and when real holidays come, they see them as interruptions. To both classes, the need of changing the angle of viewing work and pleasure is essential. Those who find it hard to enjoy their work are not fully enjoying the world they live in. However, it is more urgent for those whose work is their all pleasure to drive the work occasionally off their minds and develop hobbies.28. What can we learn from paragraph 1?A. Pleasure is acquired by enjoying work and hobbiesB. To relax one should broaden his knowledge in other fieldsC. The best choice for a person is having three hobbiesD. Pleasure lies in how much one is involved in other fields29. Which hobby do you recommend to a software programmer?A. Playing Chinese chessB. Writing poemsC. Learning watercolor paintingD. Joining in Mobike riding30. Which can substitute the underlined word in paragraph 3?A. working hoursB. real holidaysC. means of livelihoodD. drama courses31. What is the best title of the passage?A. Holidays and InterruptionsB. Hobbies and RelaxationC. Work and PleasureD. Manual Work and Brain WorkDTiredness, coughing, a runny nose and a sore throat—among all sicknesses there is probably none more common than the flu (流感), which we all get now and then. However, bird flu is a completely different story.In 2003, the H5N1 bird flu swept across 15 countries, including China, with sufferers reporting chest pain, difficulty breathing, fever and severe coughing. More than 600 people were infected, and about 60percent died. Now, another type of bird flu hit Shanghai and three neighboring provinces, and this time the virus is called H7N9. By the afternoon of April 11, the new virus had taken nine lives out of 35 infected, according to Xinhua News Agency.The “H” and “N” in the virus’ name refer to two kinds of proteins (蛋白质) on the surface of the virus. Any change of the numbers of the two proteins indicates a new mutation(变异). Most of the mutations only affect birds, such as chickens and pigeons, and don’t normally spread to humans. But once they do, the results can be disastrous.“Any time an animal influenza virus crosses to humans, it is a cause for concern, ” Malik Peiris, virologist (病毒学家) at the University of Hong Kong, told Nature magazine. Take the SARS epidemic (传染病) in 2003 as an example. The virus behind the disease is thought to have jumped to humans from animals. The virus was a complete “stranger” to human bodies, which hadn’t developed an immunity (免疫力) against it.But there is something more about the new H7N9 bird flu. Unlike the H5N1 bird flu, which causes severe sickness in birds, the H7N9 has been evolving under the radar(悄悄地) since it travels between birds without causing noticeable illness. That makes it difficult to keep track of the disease.The good news is that there’s so far no sign that the virus is spreading from person to person. But since there is no vaccine (疫苗) for the disease yet, the World Health Organization recommends that you wash your hands after meeting with sick people and before and after you eat or prepare food, and they also suggest avoiding contact with birds or their eggs.32. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A. The H5N1 bird flu turned out to have something to do with the SARS epidemic.B. The name, H7N9 bird flu, shows that there have been new mutations of the proteins in the virus.C. Most of the mutations of the proteins in the bird flu virus are harmful to both birds and humans.D. More than 600 people across the world died from the H5N1 bird flu in 2003.33. With the example of the SARS epidemic in Paragraph 5, the author intends to.A. introduce where the SARS virus came fromB. inform us of the harmful effects of the SARS epidemic ten years agoC. show the horrible effects an animal influenza virus can have once it spreads to humansD. compare the differences between the SARS epidemic and the H7N9 bird flu34. What makes the H7N9 bird flu more frightening than the H5N1 bird flu according to the text?A. It doesn’t sicken birds and thus can spread unnoticed.B. It can spread from person to person.C. It affects a greater number of birds.D. It can cause severe sickness in birds.35. What are people advised to do to protect themselves against the H7N9 bird flu?a. To get vaccinated for the disease.b. To keep away from birds and their eggs.c. To stop eating chickens and ducks.d. To avoid meeting with sick people.e. To wash hands thoroughly and regularly.A. a, bB. c, dC. b, eD. a, e第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
