It means that two people working together have a better chance of solving a problem than one person alone. But not everyone likes working in a group.There can be a number of reasons why people

11、 dislike group work. Some may feel nervous or uneasy in group situations. Others might have had a bad experience with individuals who did not work well as a team. Another comment is that teachers or instructors fail to provide roles for group members. This may create a situation where everyone or no

12、 one wants to lead. Whatever the issue, the result is the same: the group does not realize its goal.Cooperative (合作的) learning is an educational method that can help to solve this problem. There are many methods of cooperative learning. Today we will talk about one: giving each person in a small gro

13、up a specific duty to reach a shared goal. For example, if learners are divided into groups of four people each, their roles might be: leader, writer, checker and speaker. This structure helps ensure that everyone takes part equally in group work and allows each member to play a meaningful part in c

14、ompleting the shared goal.Before dividing learners into groups, it is a good idea for the teacher or clubs instructor to first have knowledge about the language skill levels of participants. The goal is to make each group a mixture of higher- and lower-level language learners. Putting too many peopl

15、e with similar skill levels together could make the work too difficult or easy. Role cards can be a helpful tool in this method of cooperative learning. Their purpose is to remind learners of each persons role.Before the cooperative activity, the role of the teacher or activity instructor is to expl

16、ain two things to the group: the main job for the activity and how the cooperative roles work. The person in charge may appoint these roles or let the English learners choose them. Then, during the activity, the instructors job is to watch the groups and provide more guidance when needed. After the

17、activity, the instructor may wish to provide feedback to groups on their work and their use of cooperation.With this cooperative learning method, you can say that four heads are better than just one.1、Whats the outcome if people do not enjoy group work?AThe aim of the group can not be achieved.BSpec

18、ific roles will be given to group members.CGroup members will feel at ease in groups.DGroup members will fail to work individually.2、Why does the teacher need to know about those who take part in the activity?ATo find out language learners with similar levels.BTo clarify higher- and lower-level lang

19、uage learners.CTo combine learners with different language levels.DTo increase the difficulty in finishing the work.3、Which of the following is TRUE about the role of instructors?ATo offer group members timely help at each step.BTo listen to the response from group members.CTo help the English learn

20、ers choose their favourite roles.DTo make clear about the task and working principles of the roles.4、Which of the following is the best title of the passage?ATwo Heads Are Better than One.BCooperation Is a Must in Learning.CGroup Work Makes a Great Difference to Learners Achievement.DCooperative Lea

21、rning Contributes to the Success of Group Work.22（8分）As millions of Americans crowd into the gym armed with New Years resolutions to get in shape, medical experts are offering an additional reason for exercise: Regular workouts may help fight off colds and flu, reduce the risk of certain cancers and

22、 chronic diseases and slow the process of aging.Physical activities have long been known to help maintain a healthy weight and reduce stress. Now, a growing body of research is showing that regular exerciseas simple as a brisk 30-to-45-minute walk five times a weekcan boost the bodys immune system,

23、increasing the circulation of natural killer cells that fight off viruses and bacteria. And exercise has been shown to improve the bodys response to the influenza vaccine (疫苗), making it more effective at keeping the virus at bay.Medical experts warn inactivity poses as great a health risk as smokin

24、g, resulting in heart disease, cancer, depression, and diabetes. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says quite a few U.S. adults do not engage in any leisure-time physical activity.Even slim people who are inactive are at high risk of death and disease. So while reducing obesity is an im

25、portant goal, “the better message would be to get everyone to walk 30 minutes a day” says Robert Sallis, co-director of sports medicine at Fontana Medical Center. “We find it necessary to refocus the national message on physical activity, which can have a bigger effect on health than losing weight.”

26、Regular exercise has been shown to prevent the ongoing damage done to cells, tissues and organs that underlies many chronic conditions. Building on that earlier research, scientific studies are now suggesting that exercise-induced changes in the bodys immune system may protect against some forms of

27、cancer.Researchers are also investigating whether exercise can influence aging in the body. In particular, they are looking at whether exercise lengthens telomeres, the strands of DNA at the tips of chromosomes. When telomeres get too short, cells can no longer divide and they become inactive, a pro

28、cess associated with aging, cancer and a higher risk of death.A study, published in Circulation, the medical journal of the American Heart Association, concluded that physical activity has an anti-aging effect at the cellular level, suggesting exercise could prevent aging of the cardiovascular(心腦血管)

29、 system.The guidelines, developed by the Department of Health and Human Services, recommend that adults get at least two hours and 30 minutes weekly of moderate-intensity aerobic(有氧的) physical activity, or one hour and 15 minutes a week of vigorous-intensity aerobic exercise, or an equivalent combin

30、ation of both. The guidelines also say that additional health benefits can be obtained from as much as doubling the minimum recommendation for aerobic exercise.1、What is the main purpose of many Americans who take exercise?ATo have a good figure. BTo make them strong-minded.CTo cure some common dise

31、ases. DTo prevent themselves getting old.2、It can be inferred from the passage that _.Anatural killer cells strengthen the bodys immune systemBregular exercise can remove the viruses and bacteriaCobesity has become a social problem in AmericaDAmerican people need to attach more importance to physica

32、l exercise3、How can physical activity stop aging?ABy preventing cell division. BBy getting rid of aging cells.CBy making telomeres longer. DBy repairing the damaged organs.4、What might be the best title for the passage?ANew Studies about Physical Exercise BThe Hidden Benefits of ExerciseCHow to Free

33、 Ourselves from Diseases? DLose Weight or Keep Healthy?23（8分）EScience has a lot of uses. It can uncover laws of nature, cure diseases, make bombs, and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that theres always a temptation(誘惑) to drag it into problems where it may not be

34、helpful. David Brooks, author of The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character,and Achievement, appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation.Brooks gained fame for several books. His latest book The Social Animal, however, is more ambitious a

35、nd serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics. The book focuses on big questions: What has science revealed about human nature? What are the sources of character? And why are some people happy and successful while others arent?To answer these questions, Bro

36、oks surveys a wide range of disciplines（學(xué)科）. Considering this, you might expect the book to be a dry recitation of facts. But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox(非常規(guī)的), and perhaps unfortunate, way. Instead of introducing scientific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to ma

37、ke his points, perhaps in order to keep the readers attention.So as Harold and Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, live through childhood, we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction. Brooks carries this through to the

38、death of one of his characters.On the whole,Brooks story is acceptable if uninspired. As one would expect, his writing is mostly clear and, to be fair, some chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoyed, for instance, the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Eri

39、ca are certainly not strong or memorable characters, the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere. These problems partly involve Brooks attempt to translate his tale into science.1、The author mentions the functions of science at the beginning of the passage to_.Aillustrate where sc

40、ience can be appliedBdemonstrate the value of Brooks new bookCremind the reader of the importance of scienceDexplain why many writers use science in their works2、According to the author, which of the following could be a strength of the book?AIts strong basis.BIts convincing points.CIts clear writin

41、g.DIts memorable characters.3、What is the authors general attitude towards the book?AContradictory.BSupportive.CCautious.DCritical.4、What is the author likely to write about after the last paragraph?AProblems with the book.BBrookss life experience.CDeath of the characters.DBrookss translation skills

42、.24（8分） Even for a first-time visitor to China, it is impossible to ignore the popularity of Quick-Response (QR) codes. These square-shaped black-and-white symbols in WeChat or Alipay where QR codes are scanned to add new friends or make payments.The QR Code system originated in Japan. The engineer

43、Masahiro Hara felt the limitation of the one-dimension barcode in use and thus developed the QR codes which could carry data horizontally and vertically. QR codes could hold much more information than barcode due to their extra dimension. In addition, QR codes have larger data capacity, smaller prin

44、tout size and higher resistance to dirt and damage, which make them widely applied in many other applications.Though the technology of QR codes is complicated, we can easily create our own QR codes with the help of QR code generators, many of which are available online for free. Users could enter th

45、e data they wish the QR code to display, and the generator turns it into a symbol that can be printed or displayed in electronic form. The process of creating QR codes could be really fun when we customise the design of the codes according to our specific needs. For instance, we can adjust the color

46、, add a logo, and create social options etc. Moreover, dynamic (動態(tài)的) QR codes are also available. They are more various than standard QR codes because they allow users to edit data entered previously whereas data in standard QR codes cannot be edited once printed. Plus, dont limit your QR code to on

47、e mobile scanner. Anyone can scan your code with any reader. A lower barrier to entry makes success more likely for you and the user.Meanwhile, we must also recognize the vulnerability of QR codes. Due to its easy access, criminals can steal simply by replacing the QR codes with their own, routing c

48、ash into their own bank accounts. Hence, we should all become more conscious towards virtual money transactions through QR codes and participate in additional security measures.1、Which of the following is NOT a function of QR codes?AData storage.BScanning reader.CSocial networking.DMobile payment.2、

49、Why is barcode mentioned in paragraph 2?ATo introduce the main topic.BTo show the authors attitude.CTo highlight the features of QR codes.DTo add some background knowledge.3、Which of the following best explains “vulnerability” underlined in paragraph 4?AThreat.BWeakness.CDifficulty.DSimplicity.4、Whi

50、ch is true about QR codes according to the text?AThey were first used in China.BThe generators charge the users a lot.CData editing is possible in printed QR codes.DMore scanning devices are available in reading QR codes.25（10分）Free, Official Sources to Find Unclaimed MoneyDoes the government owe yo

51、u money? There might be unclaimed funds or property waiting for you from savings or checking accounts, wages and pensions, tax refunds(退款), life insurance policies, and a lot more. Companies may offer to find this money for a fee. And scammers may try to trick you with fake promises of money from th

52、e government. But you can find your unclaimed money yourself for free.
