Boston University drew me in for several reasons—its perfect location in the heart of Boston，its strong education programs，and the comfortable community. One special thing that set Boston University apart from my other college options was that I could be placed in the classroom to experience teaching in my freshman year. I had wanted to be a teacher for as long as I could remember，after all. After just six short weeks,I was absolutely confident that I made the right choice to attend Boston University. At Boston University,I attended an education program—ED 100. Each Wednesday，I went to Bowman Elementary School to help in a fifth grade classroom. Although I was a secondary education major,working with fifth graders was very memorable. One of my weekly tasks was to lead a reading group of about five students. It was tiring，but I fully enjoyed getting to know their strengths (长处) and a little bit about each student apart from their studies. As the weeks went on，I found myself further involved in (参与) more classroom activities，often helping students one by one or in small groups. The students never stopped amazing me—they were always ready to take part in class activities and share their ideas. For each class，I usually spent a long time preparing it. I also loved learning from other teachers，and taking note of their excellent teaching skills，some of which I hoped to use in my own classroom. The program—ED 100 has even further confirmed (确认) my desire to become an educator. I have passion to work with children. I can’t wait to have my own classroom of students. I’m so happy that I’ve made the right decision to choose Boston University. 4. What attracted the author most about Boston University? A Being in the center of the city. B. Having a comfortable community. C. Allowing her to teach in the first year. D. Offering strong education programs. 5. What did the author think of her teaching at Bowman Elementary School? A. It was quite relaxing. B. It was a bit disappointing. C. It was full of difficulties. D. It was a pleasant experience. 6. What did the author say about her students? A.

Which of the following words can best describe the author? A. Courageous and clever. B. Helpful and hard­working. C. Creative and kind. D. Strict and careful. C Pigs may be more intelligent than people thought, as shown in a study where pigs used a joystick (操纵杆) and played a video game. Researchers used 2-year-old Panepinto micro pigs called Ebony and Ivory, as well as Hamlet and Omelet, 3-month-old Yorkshire pigs. Researchers first taught these pigs how to play with a joystick, teaching them the word, “joystick”. Next, on the words “watch the screen”, they learned how to watch targets (目标) on the screen. Of course, praise was given to the active pigs winning a game. During the experiment, all pigs performed well. As they became more successful, the level of difficulty increased, just like in human video games! At first, the pigs had to hit a three-walled target which was then reduced to two walls and then one wall. All pigs did well with the three-walled targets; however, the Panepinto pigs performed better on the more difficult levels. One disadvantage for the Yorkshire pigs was that they simply grew so large that they could no longer fit in their test. After a few months, Omelet and Hamlet were taken away from the experiment. Dr. Candace Croney, a leading animal behavior scientist in Cambridge, said, “The findings of the study are important because what we do to pigs matters to them. It would be nice for people to realize how special pigs are, and how much more intelligent they may be than we recognized. The researchers said that the pigs’ actions were deliberate (故意的). This led them to believe that pigs were able to, successfully do new tasks. “It may encourage other researchers to use touch screens and computer technology to study pigs intelligence in the future,” Croney said. The team hopes this type of research will make people pay more attention to this farm animal and show people how they can change the lives of animals. 8. What did the researchers do to the pigs at the beginning? A. They studied their habits. B. They gave them enough food. C. They trained them to play a game. D. They gave them special names. 9. What could we find about the pigs in the experiment? A. They could keep focused for a long time. B. They tried hard to win the games for praise. C. They did all the tasks without any difficulty. D They got harder tasks as their performance improved. 10. What made Omelet and Hamlet unsuitable for the experiment later? A. Their intelligence. B. Their body size. C. Their power. D. Their weight. 11. What is Croney’s attitude towards the results of the study? A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Uncertain D. Surprised. D Bogre Udell，who speaks four languages，met Frederico Andrade，who speaks five，at the Parsons New School in New York City.In 2014，they started a project to make the first public records of every language in the world.They’ve already recorded more than 350 languages，and plan to hit 1,000 in the coming years. “When humans lose a language，we also lose greater diversity (多样化) in art and traditions，” said Bogre Udell.Between 1950 and 2010,230 languages disappeared.Today，a third of the world’s languages have fewer than 1,000 speakers left.Every two weeks a language dies with its last speaker，and 50 to 90 percent of them are said to disappear by the next century. Wikitongues has asked for volunteers in 40 countries to film native speakers talking in the past，present，and future tenses of their mother languages.Native speakers are asked to recall childhood，share their stories，and discuss their hopes and goals.One volunteer in the South Pacific islands of Vanuatu recorded a language that had never been studied by language experts before.Another volunteer found a speaker of Ainu，a language in Japan that has no relation to any other known language，and he also recorded it.However，priceless recording opportunities disappear regularly.Not long ago，one of the last two speakers of a Saami language in the Russian steppes died right before his recording session with Wikitongues. A lack(缺少) of protection and globalization(全球化) are responsible for diminishing language diversity.For much of the 20th century，governments across the world forced some local people to use official languages.More than 100 languages in Australia have disappeared since European settlers arrived.However，most languages die today because of other factors; climate change and urbanization contribute(是……的原因之一) greatly to the disappearance of languages. 12. What does the author point out in paragraph 2? A. Language loss is becoming very serious. B. Few people are worried about language loss. C. Language loss makes it difficult for people to communicate. D. Some countries fail to slow down the process of language loss. 13. How do volunteers help protect languages? A. By writing down native speakers’ stories. B.

What does the underlined word “diminishing” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Creating. B. Valuing. C. Decreasing. D. Encouraging. 15. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Where language loss spreads. B What causes language loss. C. How to deal with language loss. D. What language loss brings to people. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If you are like most international students, you are probably pretty comfortable reading and writing in English. ____16____ Below are some tips to help you to improve your conversational skills.

Researchers used 2-year-old Panepinto micro pigs called Ebony and Ivory, as well as Hamlet and Omelet, 3-month-old Yorkshire pigs. Researchers first taught these pigs how to play with a joystick, teaching them the word, “joystick”. Next, on the words “watch the screen”, they learned how to watch targets (目标) on the screen. Of course, praise was given to the active pigs winning a game. During the experiment, all pigs performed well. As they became more successful, the level of difficulty increased, just like in human video games! At first, the pigs had to hit a three-walled target which was then reduced to two walls and then one wall. All pigs did well with the three-walled targets; however, the Panepinto pigs performed better on the more difficult levels. One disadvantage for the Yorkshire pigs was that they simply grew so large that they could no longer fit in their test. After a few months, Omelet and Hamlet were taken away from the experiment. Dr. Candace Croney, a leading animal behavior scientist in Cambridge, said, “The findings of the study are important because what we do to pigs matters to them. It would be nice for people to realize how special pigs are, and how much more intelligent they may be than we recognized. The researchers said that the pigs’ actions were deliberate (故意的). This led them to believe that pigs were able to, successfully do new tasks. “It may encourage other researchers to use touch screens and computer technology to study pigs intelligence in the future,” Croney said. The team hopes this type of research will make people pay more attention to this farm animal and show people how they can change the lives of animals. 8. What did the researchers do to the pigs at the beginning? A. They studied their habits. B. They gave them enough food. C. They trained them to play a game. D. They gave them special names. 9. What could we find about the pigs in the experiment? A. They could keep focused for a long time. B. They tried hard to win the games for praise. C. They did all the tasks without any difficulty. D. They got harder tasks as their performance improved. 10. What made Omelet and Hamlet unsuitable for the experiment later? A. Their intelligence. B. Their body size. C. Their power. D. Their weight. 11. What is Croney’s attitude towards the results of the study? A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C Uncertain D. Surprised. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述猪经过人们的训练和与人互动后，可以用鼻子玩电动，能够听懂人的指令，从而说明猪有很强的学习潜力，此类的研究是一个巨大的突破，这可能会鼓励人们更加关注这种农场动物，并向人们展示他们如何改变动物的生活。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Researchers first taught these pigs how to play with a joystick, teaching them the word, “joystick”. Next, on the words ‘watch the screen’, they learned how to watch targets (目标) on the screen. Of course, praise was given to the active pigs winning a game.(研究人员首先教这些猪如何玩操纵杆，教它们“操纵杆”这个词。接下来，在‘观看屏幕’这个单词上，他们学会了如何观看屏幕上的目标。当然，在比赛中获胜的积极的猪会得到表扬。)”可知，他们一开始训练猪玩一个游戏。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“As they became more successful, the level of difficulty increased, just like in human video games! (随着他们越来越成功，难度水平也随之提高，就像人类电子游戏一样！)”可知，随着成绩的提高，他们得到了更艰巨的任务。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“One disadvantage for the Yorkshire pigs was that they simply grew so large that they could no longer fit in their test. After a few months, Omelet and Hamlet were taken away from the experiment. (约克郡猪的一个缺点是它们长得太大了，以至于无法再参加测试。几个月后，蛋卷和哈姆雷特被带离了实验。)”可知，Omelet和Hamlet的体型使得它们不适合后来的实验。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Dr. Candace Croney, a leading animal behavior scientist in Cambridge, said, ‘The findings of the study are important because what we do to pigs matters to them. It would be nice for people to realize how special pigs are, and how much more intelligent they may be than we recognized. ’ (坎迪斯·克罗尼（Candace Croney）博士是剑桥大学著名的动物行为科学家，他说:“这项研究的发现很重要，因为我们对猪做的事情对它们很重要。如果人们能意识到猪有多特别，它们比我们想象的要聪明得多，那就太好了”)”可知，Croney对研究结果的态度是积极的。故选A。 D Bogre Udell，who speaks four languages，met Frederico Andrade，who speaks five，at the Parsons New School in New York City.In 2014，they started a project to make the first public records of every language in the world.They’ve already recorded more than 350 languages，and plan to hit 1,000 in the coming years. “When humans lose a language，we also lose greater diversity (多样化) in art and traditions，” said Bogre Udell.Between 1950 and 2010,230 languages disappeared.Today，a third of the world’s languages have fewer than 1,000 speakers left.Every two weeks a language dies with its last speaker，and 50 to 90 percent of them are said to disappear by the next century.

Today，a third of the world’s languages have fewer than 1,000 speakers left. Every two weeks a language dies with its last speaker，and 50 to 90 percent of them are said to disappear by the next century.（从1950年到2010年，230种语言消失了。今天，世界上三分之一的语言的使用者不足1000人。每两周就有一种语言随着最后一个使用者而消亡，据说其中50%到90%的语言将在下个世纪消失。）”可知，语言消失现象变得很严重。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Wikitongues has asked for volunteers in 40 countries to film native speakers talking in the past，present，and future tenses of their mother languages. Native speakers are asked to recall childhood，share their stories，and discuss their hopes and goals. One volunteer in the South Pacific islands of Vanuatu recorded a language that had never been studied by language experts before. Another volunteer found a speaker of Ainu，a language in Japan that has no relation to any other known language，and he also recorded it.（维基语言要求40个国家的志愿者拍摄母语人士使用母语的过去时、现在时和将来时的谈话。以英语为母语的人被要求回忆童年，分享他们的故事，讨论他们的希望和目标。一名志愿者在南太平洋的瓦努阿图群岛记录了一种语言，这种语言以前从未被语言专家研究过。另一名志愿者找到了一个会说阿伊努语的人，阿伊努语是日本的一种语言，与其他任何已知的语言都没有关系，他也把它记录了下来。）”可知，志愿者通过视频方式记录本土人所讲的语言，以此来保护语言。故选D。 【14题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“For much of the 20th century，governments across the world forced some local people to use official languages. More than 100 languages in Australia have disappeared since European settlers arrived.（在20世纪的大部分时间里，世界各国政府强迫一些当地人使用官方语言。自从欧洲移民到达澳大利亚以来，澳大利亚已经消失了100多种语言。）”可知，缺乏保护和语言的全球化是语言多样性不断“减少”的原因所在。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段内容尤其是第一句“A lack(缺少) of protection and globalization(全球化) are responsible for diminishing language diversity.（缺乏保护和全球化是导致语言多样性减少的原因。）”可知，本段主要介绍了语言消失的原因。故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If you are like most international students, you are probably pretty comfortable reading and writing in English. ____16____ Below are some tips to help you to improve your conversational skills.
