A
The right to vote is one of the most fundamental rights of any democracy. Yet,
for too long, too many of our fellow citizens were denied that right simply because
of the color of their skin.
Fifty years ago this week, President Lyndon Johnson signed a law to change that.
The Voting Rights Act broke down legal barriers that stood between millions of
African Americans and their constitutional right to cast ballot(投票). It was, and
still is, one of the greatest victories in our country’ s struggle for civil rights.
But it didn’t happen overnight. Countless men and women marched and organized, sat
in and stood up, for our most basic rights. For this, they were called agitators(挑
拨者) and un-American; they were jailed and beaten. Some were even killed. But in
the end, they reaffirmed (重申)the idea at the very heart of America: that people

who love this country can change it.
Our country is a better place because of all those heroes did for us. But as
one of those heroes, Congressman John Lewis, reminded us in Selma this past March,
“There’s still work to be done.” Fifty years after the Voting Rights Act, there
are still too many barriers to vote, and too many people trying to erect（建立）
new ones. We’ve seen laws that roll back early voting, force people to jump through
hoops to cast a ballot or lead to legitimate (合法的) voters being improperly purged
from the rolls. Over the years, we have seen provisions (规定) specifically designed
to make it harder for some of our fellow citizens to vote. In a democracy like ours,
with a history like ours, that’s a disgrace. That’s why, as we celebrate the 50th
Anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, I’m calling on Congress to pass new
legislation to make sure every American has equal access to the polls.
It’s why I support the organizers getting folks registered in their
communities. And it’s why, no matter what party you support, my message to every
American is simple: get out there and vote—not just every four years, but every
chance you get, because your elected officials will only heed(留心) your voice if
you make your voice heard. The promise that all of us are created equal is written
into our founding documents but it’s up to us to make that promise real. Together,
let’s do what Americans have always done: Let’s keep marching forward, keep
perfecting our union, and keep building a better country for our kids.

Sleep deprivation(缺失)is an important hidden factor in lowering the achievement
of school pupils, according to researchers carrying out international education
tests.
It is a particular problem in richer countries with sleep experts linking it to
the use of mobile phones and computers in bedroom late at night. Sleep deprivation
is such a serious problem that lessons have to be dragged down to a lower level to
suit sleep-deprived learners, the study found. The international comparison,
carried out by Boston College, found the United States to have the highest number
of sleep-deprived students, with 73% of 9- and 10-year-olds and 80% of 13- and
14-year-olds identified by their teachers as being negatively affected.
In literacy(读写能力) tests there were 76% of 9- and 10-year-olds lacking sleep.
This was much higher than the international average of 47% of primary pupils needing
more sleep and 57% among the secondary age group.
Other countries with the most sleep-deprived youngsters were New Zealand, Saudi
Arabia, Australia, England, Ireland and France. High-performing Finland is also
among the most lacking in sleep. Countries with the best records for getting enough
sleep include Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Portugal, the Czech Republic, Japan and Malta.
The analysis was part of the huge date- gathering process for global education
rankings, the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study(TIMSS)and
Progress in International Reading Literacy Study(PIRLS)
“I think we underestimate the impact of sleep. Our data show that across countries
internationally, on average, children who have more sleep achieve higher in maths,
science and reading. That is exactly what our data show,” says Chad Minnich of the
TIMSS and PIRLS International Study Center.
“It’s the same link for children who are lacking basic nutrition,” says Mr
Minnich, based at the Lynch School of Education, Boston College. “If you are unable
to concentrate, to attend mentally, you are unable to achieve at your best level,

because your mind and body are in need of something more basic. Sleep is a fundamental
need for all children. If teachers report such large proportions of children
suffering from lack of sleep, it’s having a significant impact. But worse than that,
teachers are having to adjust their instruction based on those children who are
suffering from a lack of sleep. The children who are suffering from a lack of sleep
are driving down instruction.”
That means that even the children who are getting enough sleep are still suffering
from this sleep-related lowering.
【文章大意】
据开展国际教育测试的研究人员报道，在降低学生成绩的 过程中，睡眠是一个重要的隐藏因
素。教师要以遭受缺乏睡眠的那些孩子为基础进行调整。
did the researchers of Boston College try to find?
A. Why children don’t get enough sleep B. How many hours children sleep
every night
C. The relationship between sleep and test results D. The relationship between
sleep and health
even the children who are getting enough sleep are still suffering from this
sleep-related lowering.那意味着甚至得到足够睡眠的孩子仍然遭受着睡眠相对低的痛
苦。故选C。
59. Many children suffer from sleep deprivation because _________.
A. they sit in front of the TV for too long
B. they can hardly sleep soundly and deeply
C. their homework occupies too much of their time
D. modern technological devices consume a lot of their time

sleep experts linking it to the use of mobile phones and computers in bedroom late
at night在 更富裕的国家，在晚上很晚的时候用手机和电脑与睡眠专家联系起来，它是一
个特别的问题。故选D。

A. Japan B. Malta
C. Finland D. Portugal

60.C细节理解题。根据第四段第二句High- performing Finland is also among the most
lacking in sleep. 高效执行的Finland也是在睡眠中最缺乏的。故选C。
61. Why are children who get enough sleep also victims?
A. Because they are disturbed by sleep-deprived students
B. Because teaching is driven down by sleep-deprived students
C. Because they have to spend time helping sleep- deprived students
D. Because the teachers waste time disciplining sleep-deprived students
C
Today, many species of animals and plants are endangered. This means they are
in danger of becoming extinct and living on only in the pages of history books. The
famous dodo is a classic example of a creature that became extinct. A flightless
bird that lived on the island of Mauritius, it was discovered by sailors in 1598
but was hunted to extinction by 1681.
Hunting has caused the Bengal tiger and the African elephant to be endangered
today but habitat destruction can also lead to extinction. This is equally true for
plants. Animals and plants disappear for other reasons too, but the main cause is
often a disruption（打乱，破坏） in the natural food chain, whether due to hunting,
habitat destruction, or even the introduction of alien species.
The natural food chain is the cycle that governs the existence of all life on this
planet. It is a carefully balanced cycle and any imbalance that occurs can cause
knock-on effects that have serious consequences. At the beginning of the natural
food chain are plants which turn sunlight into energy and draw nutrients from the
earth. Plants are called producers.
After the producers come the consumers. There are three tiers of consumers. First
are creatures such as plant-eating animals, fish and insects which feed off the
producers. These animals that only eat plants are called herbivores. The second tier
of consumers are carnivores - animals that live off other animals. The third tier
of consumers eats both other animals and plants. These consumers, including most
humans, are called omnivores.
After animals and plants die, they become food for other smaller creatures, such

as bacteria and some plants, such as fungi. As they feed, these creatures turn the
dead bodies back into gases and minerals which are again food for the producers at
the beginning of the food chain. And so the cycle continues.
All of nature is connected and governed by hundreds of these delicate food chains
and if a single plant in the chain cannot survive, then the insects that live off
the plant start to die and the animals that eat the insects also start to die.
When a food chain is disrupted, the consequences can be extremely serious. One
estimate suggests that for each plant species that is lost, up to 30 animals and
insects may also die out. One wonders how many species were affected by the extinction
of the dodo?
Humans can have disastrous effects on food chains. We've already mentioned
hunting but now let's look at travel. When people first started to explore the world
they took plant and animal species from their home countries and introduced them
wherever they went. They didn't realize that by introducing alien species they were
disrupting the natural food chains of the areas they discovered. Although there are
strict rules in place today controlling the import and export of alien species, some
places are still fighting the effects of aliens introduced hundreds of years ago.
For example, Gough Island in the South Atlantic Ocean is a breeding ground for
albatrosses that have been nesting there for centuries. But in the 19th century,
mice from passing ships were brought to the island. Being a species alien to the
island, they had no natural predators and have now grown to such a size that they
are attacking and killing albatross chicks. If they are allowed to continue, they
will wipe out the albatross population.
With import laws and people's rising awareness of how humans affect the natural
environment, hopefully we can learn to fit better into the natural food chains that
govern our world. Otherwise we need to accept that the loss of any more plants and
animals could eventually mean our own extinction.

What will higher education look like in 2050? That was the question addressed
Tuesday night by Michael Crow, president of Arizona State University.
“We’re at the end of the fourth wave of change in higher education,” Crow began,
arguing that research universities followed the initial establishment of higher

education, public colleges, and land- grant schools in the timeline of America.
In less than a half-century, he said, global market competition will be at its
fastest rates of change ever, with several multitrillion-dollar economies worldwide.
According to a recent projection, the nation’s population could reach 435 million,
with a large percentage of those residents economically disadvantaged. In addition,
climate change will be “meaningfully uncontrollable” in many parts of the world.
The everyday trends seen today, such as declining performance of students at all
levels, particularly in math and science, and declining wages and employment among
the less educated, will only continue, Crow maintained, and are, to say the least,
not contributing to fulfilling the dream of climbing the social ladder mobility,
quality of life, sustainable environment, and longer life spans that most Americans
share.
“How is it that we can have these great research universities and have
negative-trending outcomes?” Crow said in a talk “I hold the universities
accountable. … We are part of the problem.”
Among the “things that we do that make the things that we teach less learnable,”
Crow said, are the strict separation of disciplines, academic rigidity, and
conservatism, the desire of universities to imitate schools at the top of the social
ranks, and the lack of the computer system ability that would allow a large number
of students to be educated for a small amount of money.
Since 2002, when Crow started being in charge at Arizona State — which he calls
the “new American university” — he has led more than three dozen initiatives that
aim to make the school “inclusive, scalable, fast, adaptive, challenge-focused,
and willing to take risks.”
Among those initiatives were a restructuring of the engineering and life sciences
schools to create more linkages between disciplines; the launch of the School of
Earth and Space Exploration and the School of Sustainability; the start of a Teachers
College to address K-12 performance and increase the status of the Education
Department at the university; and broadened access, increasing the freshman class
size by 42 percent and the enrollment of students living below the poverty line by
500 percent.
Universities must start, Crow noted, “by becoming self-reflective architects,
figuring out what we have and what we actually need instead of what legend tells
us we have to be.” Research universities today have “run their course,” he added.

“Now is the time for variety.”
During a discussion afterward, Crow clarified and expanded on some of his points.
He discussed, for example, the school’s distance-learning program. “Nearly 40
percent of undergraduates are taking at least one course online,” he said, which
helps the school to keep costs down while advancing interactive learning
technologies.
He said that Arizona State is working to increase the transfer and completion
rates of community- college students, of whom only about 15 percent, historically,
complete their later degrees. “We’ve built a system that will allow them to track
into universities,” particularly where “culturally complex barriers” beyond
finances limit even the most gifted students.

What is ecofashion？Eco-fashion is about making clothes that take into account
the environment, the health of consumers and the working conditions of people in
the fashion industry. It is a complex phenomenon and the common use of the term
covers two aspects of fashion —‘ecological’ and ‘ethical’．Ecological fashion
usually refers to textile (织物) and clothing production processes and the

environmental issues surrounding them；ethical fashion generally relates to the
working conditions involved in the producing processes.
What are the problems with fashion？A closer look at the fashion industry points
out many problems that are common practices in the creation of our fashions from
the field to the factory. Firstly，the production of textiles pollutes the
environment heavily. Cottonplanting uses pesticides；sheepfarming and woolcleaning
contribute to global warming；syntheticsmaking (人造纤维生产) brings about waste
which does harm to our environment. Secondly，every stage of clothing production
has a significant effect on the environment. They all use a great deal of energy，
and some also involve harmful chemicals. In addition to this，there is a lot of waste
produced in the process，especially in the form of polluted water. Thirdly，growing
consumption levels and our shopping habits further worsen the bad effects. We are
now buying clothes in increasing quantities without realizing the scale on which
it affects natural environment，and we are also quick to throw away clothes that
have been worn only a couple of times.
Then，how to solve the problems? Other industries that design products are ahead
of the fashion industry when it comes to choosing sustainable materials, designing
for minimum waste, choosing energy efficient manufacturing and creating products
for longevity. The fashion industry has been slow to adopt these changes and part
of the problem is the very nature of fashion. To a large degree，it is the fashion
producers that really have the power and the responsibility to shape our future.
There are numerous ways in which these producers can reduce their ecological
footprint，from switching to green energy and reducing energy use，through selecting
sustainable materials and choosing local suppliers，to recycle and minimize waste.
On the other hand，as consumers we can all make contributions by selecting
environmentally friendly clothing and reducing clothing consumption.
There is some concern that eco friendly fashions are just a trend that we will
eventually grow tired of but we can make sure that doesn't happen. Now many people
are beginning to shop for organic food products because the benefits of eating food
free of chemicals are straightforward and immediate. They relate directly to our
personal health. In fact, choosing ecofashion can also contribute to our personal
health, though it is mostly done by way of keeping the health of the planet.

第五部分 书面表达 (满分25分)
Once upon a time some tiny frogs held a competition. The first to reach the top
of a very high tower would be the winner.
A big crowd gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer them on.
The race began. No one in the crowd really believed that any of the tiny frogs

would reach the top of tower. “They will never get to the top! They will never
succeed!” someone said.
One by one, the tiny frogs began to collapse (退下).
The crowd kept shouting, “It is too difficult! No frog will make it!”
More tiny frogs got tired and gave up, but one continued climbing, higher and
higher. This one wouldn’t give up.
In the end, he was the only one left—the only one to get to the top. The other
frogs naturally wanted to know: How did the frog make it？
One frog stepped forward to ask the winner. It turned out that the winner was
deaf.
He had won because he was able to keep his own mind. He was able to keep trying.
He couldn’t hear criticism; neither could he hear praise.
We learn a lesson from this story: don’t let others’ praise or criticism to
hold you back on your way to succeed.

【答案】
In the competition, only a deaf frog got to the top of tower. He won the race
because of his deafness, which made him stick to his goal and keep trying.
This story indicates that those not listening to other’s criticism or praise are
more likely to obtain what they are pursuing. Since our achievements largely depend
on how we react to other’s feedback, it is essential to take a sensible attitude
to it.

As we all know, praise and criticism are part of our life and almost everyone
prefers praise to criticism. Suppose you fail an exam, praise may help build up your
confidence and bring you much pleasure while criticism may discourage you and get
you down.
When it comes to teachers’ praise or criticism, we might as well take it seriously.
Praise as well as criticism is commonly employed to keep students motivated. So
whatever you encounter, accept it willingly and use it to the fullest.

In my spoken English class, I asked the students about their impressions of their
university life. To my surprise, many of them expressed disappointment. After their
highly controlled high school lives, they were having difficulty adjusting to the
free time in the university. When I asked them to describe their high school lives,
many of them told me they got up at six in the morning and studied until ten at night.
Most of this time was spent at school, doing piles of homework to help them prepare
for the university entrance exams.
Once they entered the university, in my opinion, the students are not expected
to devote all their waiting hours to studying, they should also take an active part
in social activities. Therefore, they should learn to divide their time outside of
the class between sports and clubs. What’s more, they should spend some time
watching TV and chatting with their roommates. These activities are useful in helping
them prepare for their future. But what struck me most was that many of them did
not seem particularly happy about their new found freedom. As they had so many choices,
they felt that no matter what they were doing, they should be doing something else.
That’s why they were not happy.
To those students, my advice was, get used to it and learn to make decisions
for yourselves.
