12、people in the United States do not have a strong understanding of the world and their place in it.Two U. S.based groups, the Council on Foreign Relations and the National Geographic, Society commissioned an online survey earlier this year. They wanted to know what young people educated in American c
13、olleges knew about geography, U. S. foreign policy, recent international events, and economics.The survey was given to over 1,200 Americans between the ages of 18 and 26 years. All of them presently attending, or having previously graduated from, a 2-or 4-year college or university.The average test
14、score, out of 75 total possible answers, was 55 percent. The study identifies a few important problems. For example, only 30 percent knew that the only part of the U. S. government that can declare war is Congress. Only 60% of those taking the survey could identify Brazil on a world map.Part of the
15、problem, argue the organizers of the survey, is the internet. They say it is becoming harder to find high-quality information about world events amongst all the fake news and trivia which swamp the web. Forty-three percent of those questioned said they read about the news on Facebook.Another problem
16、 is that most college courses do not require students to learn about international issues. If such information is not required, Richard Haass from the Council on Foreign Relations said, then the United States could have leaders like Gary Johnson. He was a recent presidential candidate who did not kn
17、ow about the Syrian city of Aleppo when a reporter asked him about it.The survey results were not all bad. The young people also demonstrated a good understanding of climate change and renewable energy. And the majority of them said that international issues were becoming more important to them.Haas
18、s says these findings suggest the need to find was to get good information to students, both in school and online. To help, the Council on Foreign Relations is creating a new program called CFR Campus, designed to help build knowledge about global issues.1、What can we learn about the survey?AAll the

Afte
22、r all, it can cost a large amount of money to have this kind of holiday experience. So tour operators try to place eager swimmers as near as possible to the dolphins by trying to predict where the dolphins will be.Research has shown that while dolphins can move away if they do not want to interact (
23、交流） with human swimmers, they do not like it at all if the swimmers slip into the water directly on top of them or if humans are in their path of travel. However, if swimmers enter the water to one side of them, the dolphins do not avoid the swimmers to the same extent.In all cases, the dolphins see
24、m to have become more sensitive to the presence of the swimmers. For dolphins, swimming among or with humans is not necessarily a high priority. This research has shown that only 19% of any group of dolphins will participate in interaction. Young dolphins are the most likely to interact; they do see
25、m curious about being with humans. It is believed that they see humans as “entertainment” and that the interaction is a new and unusual experience for them.It is frequently asked whether “swim-with-dolphins” tourism should be discontinued. The advice is that dolphins should be given enough periods o
26、f time throughout the day when they are not exposed to tourism. Permitted interactions should not be too disturbing to the dolphins since there could be mothers and calves (幼崽） present in dolphin groups. There should also be educational campaigns about the creatures and what is likely to cause dange
27、r to them.It is not easy to explain to someone that they cannot fulfill their lifelong dreams because the dolphins are resting, or that a mother dolphin and calf are in the area. But if we are to enjoy these remarkable animals and not just use them for our entertainment, then we must carefully monit

29、ans?AThey do this out of curiosity.BThey like humans better.CThey are less sensitive.DThey prefer new things by nature.3、What does the author suggest the “swim-with-dolphins” industry do in Paragraph 4?AMake people know the hidden threat to dolphins.BStrictly limit the expansion of the industry.CAvo

Poverty(贫困) in remote
31、areas in China is virtually a great obstacle for the Chinese to get common progress; thus, it is urgent for us to help the people there to shake off poverty the sooner the better. For this aim, the government has already sent technicians and experts to poverty-stricken areas to help boost local agri
32、cultural production and teach the locals new techniques. The Ministry of Labor has also trained many rural laborers through different programs. But all these are not enough. Several other ways have been proposed as follows.First of all, the government should encourage a small part of the people in t
33、he remote areas to get wealthy ahead of others by equipping them with relevant funds and agricultural technology. These “better-offs” can not only set a good example but give confidence to the poorer in their efforts to get rid of poverty. When all the people get rich, the general level of living st
34、andard can be greatly improved. With their living standard improved, they can attach greater importance to environmental protection and are willing to input considerable amount of money to educate their children. Only in this way is a sustainable development guaranteed.Secondly, we must call upon pe
35、ople in all walks of life throughout the country, especially those wealthy citizens in coastal areas to help those struggling below poverty line in poor remote regions out. We must realize that only after all Chinese people live a comfortable life can we be peacefully enjoying material prosperity in
36、 life. Helps can come in various forms-donating money to the poor family and books to school drop-outs, college graduates volunteering to work in the most needed regions, bringing knowledge to them, etc.The last but not the least, the government should raise the rate of tax on the rich. This can sho
37、rten the gap between the poor and the rich as well as benefit the countrys revenues(财政收入) whose better part is in turn allocated to the poor remote areas.Admittedly, it is never easy to cast off the shadow of poverty in the remote areas completely in the short run. But every one of us should go all
38、out to help those in poverty, we are confident that our country will be more powerful and prosperous in the process of relieving poverty.1、What does the underlined “shake off” in paragraph 1 mean?Aget rid of Bset off Cdie off Dput off2、How many ways are introduced to relieve the poverty according to
39、 the text?Athree Bfour Cfive Dsix3、What is the best title for the text?ABlocks to the Progress and Development of ChinaBApproaches to Raising the Rate of Tax on the RichCReasons to Relieve Poverty in Remote Areas in ChinaDSuggestions to Relieve Poverty in Remote Areas in China4、How does the author o
40、rganize the text?Aby comparison Bby listing Cby definition Dby contrast25（10分）Andrew started his job four years ago at a job search company G, when he worked in a computer programming language called Stata. Then other programming languages appear, and he has had to continually learn new skills. He s
41、ays the ever-changing universe of work requires employees to be critical thinkers and fast to adapt to the new environment.People need to learn new technologies and apply their skills quickly and regularly. When companies hire new workers, they are not always looking for knowledge of a certain softw
42、are, but soft skills like problem solving, effective communication and leadership. They also may want candidates who show a willingness to keep learning new skills.Students may believe that studying science, technology, engineering and mathematics, known as the STEM fields, will easily lead to a goo
43、d first job. But employers are telling colleges: you are producing engineers, but they do not have the skills we need. That means finding new ways to solve a problem is more important than using established steps to do so.To get students ready, some colleges and even high schools, are working on bui
44、lding critical thinking skills. One example of this is at the private Westminster Schools in Atlanta, Georgia. For three weeks in January, students either get jobs or go on trips. The experience gives them a better sense of what they might do in the future.Career offices at universities also place a
45、 lot of importance on interview skills, teaching young people more than writing an effective resume and dressing well. They have to learn how to perform best on video and phone interviews, and how to deal with new ways of being chosen for a job.1、What does the job at G require Andrew to do?ATo apply
46、 what he learned in college to his work.BTo keep learning new knowledge to keep up.CTo have a good command of several languages.DTo keep changing jobs for different skills.2、What quality do companies require of new workers?ASkills at solving problems and effective communication.BWillingness to stop
47、work and go for further education.CTricks at managing a whole department or research team.DReadiness to stay behind after work and work overtime.3、What message do employers convey to colleges?AInterview skills and effective resume are necessary for students.BGood basic knowledge in related field is essential for students.CMany new ways of looking for graduate employees
