AIn addition to being open to opposite opinions, here are some techniques that could help broaden the way you think.Respect DifferenceThe mere presence of individuals from different backgrounds with different points of view in your everyday life creates an atmosphere in which people can better respond to change.Change EnvironmentsA change in your everyday life may provide the force needed to change the direction of your thinking. For some people, small changes might help reorganize your desk or take a new route to work, whereas for others, more adjustments are required.Shirt into PositivityUnlike negative emotions that bring about specific reactions, positive emotions prompt us to broaden our attention, explore our environment, and open ourselves to absorbing information. Take a few moments to think about the things in your life that are going well and for which you are grateful; this will automatically brighten your mood-and free your brain.Look as if Y ou’ve Never SeenA Zen Buddhist concept for approaching even routine situations as if you were encountering them for the first time, “beginner’s mind” allows you to remain open to new experiences despite any expertise you may have. For instance, when you brush your teeth, take a moment to look at the toothbrush as if you’ve never laid eyes on such an object and notice its color and shape. Think about the flavor of the toothpaste and notice how your mouth feels as you move the brush back and forth.1. What may be the benefit of small changes in life?A. Reducing one’s workload.B. Focusing one’s attention.C. Leading to adjustments.D. Better responding to changes.2. How can you find something new in routine situation?A. By shifting into positivity.B. By respecting difference.C. By changing environments.D. By looking as if you’ve never seen.3. What’s the purpose of the article?A. To introduce skills of broadening one’s thinking.B. To compare the attitudes to thinkingC. To give advice on thinking positively.D. To explain the reasons for being open.BAvoiding the worst effects of climate change will require action. But it’s hard to take action when you don’t even know there’s a problem. Around the world, only half of adults understand that humans are causing climate change through activities that produce greenhouse gases. But the picture is different for kids. Previous work has shown that children are more engaged and more knowledgeable than adults are about climate change. The question is, can we harness this to make a difference?“We had come across this idea that kids are capable of influencing their parents. And when we say influence, we really mean just teaching them.” said Daniella Lawson, a social scientist at NC State University. “That’s what we set out to really investigate: can we design things in such a way that kids are able to teach their parents about climate change. A parent is willing and able to listen to their children speaking to them instead of just an adult on the street or a different climate communicator. ”To test the idea, Lawson set up a wildlife-based climate course for kids. This approach was based on previous courses, but the team added a twist: involving the parents. First, parents were invited to come along to an event that formed a part of the course. And that’s not all. “So we also had students interview their parents. And this interview never mentioned climate change specifically. But it had questions like: how have you seen the weather change over the last five to ten years? Do you believe the sea level is rising? How do you think that could impact our communities?”The study showed that the course did indeed increase concern about climate change: not just among the kids, but their parents too. And there were some surprising findings in the results. These findings come at a time when more kids are becoming climate activists. And Lawson says that her study shows just how persuasive young people’s voices can be.4. What does the underlined word “harness” in paragraph one refer to?A. Adopt.B. Accumulate.C. Review.D. Control.5. What can be learned from the first paragraph?A. Effective actions have been taken to deal with climate change.B. Most adults have realized the climate damages caused by themselves.C. Children better adults in the area of climate change and its effects.D. Adults and children will cooperate to deal with climate change.6. About climate change teaching, which one will Daniella Lawson most probably agree with?A. Kids can be taught by adults.B. Adults can learn from the kids.C. Climate communicators are more professional.D. Parents are more likely to consult street adults.7. What can be learned about the course?A. The course involved is completely new.B. Interviews and questionnaires are necessary in the course.C. Adults and kids study separately during the course.D. The course is relatively effective in climate education.CIt was New Year’s night. An aged man was standing at a window. Few more hopeless people than himself now moved towards their certain goal-the tomb. He had already passed sixty of the age leading to it, and he had brought from his journey nothing but errors and regrets.The days of his youth appeared like dreams before him, and he recalled the serious moment when his father placed him at the entrances of the two roads. One leading to a peaceful, sunny place covered with flowers and fruits; the other leading to a deep dark cave which was endless. He looked towards the sky and cried painfully, “Oh youth, return! Oh, my father, place me once more at the entrance to life”. But both his father and the days of his youth had passed away.He saw the lights flowing away in the darkness，and these were the days of his wasted life; he saw a star fall from the sky and disappear, and this was the symbol of himself. Then he remembered his friends in his childhood, who entered life together with him. But they had made their way to success and were then honored and happy on that New Year’s night.The clock in the high church tower struck and the sound made him remember his parents. They had taught him and prayed to God for his good. But he chose the wrong way with shame and grief. He dared no longer to look towards the heaven where his parents lived. He burst out a cry: “Come back, my early days!”And his youth did return,.for all this was only a dream on New Year’s night. He was still young though his faults were real. He had not yet entered the deep dark eave, and he was still free to walk on the road which leads to the peaceful and sunny land.8. Which of the following words can best describe the aged man?A. Confident.B. Selfless.C. Regretful.D. Fortunate.9. What can we learn from Para3?A The man’s friends missed their youth.B. The man’s friends suffered failure finally.C. The man wasted his life at one time.D. The man was lonely in his childhood.10. What can be inferred from the text?A. The old man didn’t take his father’s advice.B. The old man was enjoying his journey.C. The old man’s father accompanied him during the journey.D. The old man was like lights in the darkness.11. What is the best title for the text?A. A Special New Year’s NightB. An Old Man’s HesitationC. Youth Coming BackD. Two Roads to TakeDThe English-language version of Wikipedia has almost six million articles. And if you’re a cheating student, that’s six million essays already written for you. But plagiarism (剽窃) isn’t really an effective way—just type the text into a search engine and the game is over. Then what about having a ghostwriter compose your final essay?“Standard plagiarism software cannot detect this kind of cheating.” said Stephan Lorenzen, a data analyst at the University of Copenhagen. In Denmark, where he’s based, ghostwriting is a growing problem at high schools. So Lorenzen and his colleagues created a program called Ghostwriter that can detect the cheats.At its central part is a neural (神经的) network trained and tested on 130,000 real essays from 10,000 Danish students. After reading through tens of thousands of essays labeled as being written by the same author or not, the machine taught itself to tune into the characteristics that might tip off cheating. For example, did a student’s essays share the same styles of punctuation? The same spelling mistakes?By examining inconsistencies like those, Ghostwriter was able to seek out a cheated essay nearly 90 percent of the time. The team presented the results at the European Meeting on Artificial Neural Networks, Computational Intelligence and Machine Learning. There’s one more aspect here that could help students. Your high school essays probably get better over time as you learn to write-and the machine can detect that. The final idea is to detect students who are at risk because their development in writing style isn’t as you’d expect. Teachers could thus give extra help to kids who really need it, while sniffing out the cheaters too.12. What can be true about a cheating student trying to finish an essay?A. His cheating may be detected in a certain way.B. Essays offered by WikiPedia can’t be downloaded.C. He won’t hire a ghostwriter to write one for himself.D. Ghost cheating can be detected by Standard plagiarism software.13. Which aspect of the program “Ghostwriter” is talked about in Para. 3?A. Its components.B. Its weaknesses.C. Its influences.D. Its working theory.14. Which one of the following is the function of “Ghostwriter” ?A. It never fails to find out a cheated essay.B. It can detect a student’s progress in writing.C. It can guide a student to correct his writing style.D. It relieves teachers of giving extra help.15. Where is the text most likely from?A. A guidebook.B. A magazine.C. A novel.D. A diary.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。
