Polytechnic University: Kowloon, ‎Hong Kong July 26-31‎ PolyU is offering a 5-dayprogram for Grade 10 or 11 students wishing to explore the field of engineering and understand various engineering disciplines．We are looking for 6-8 students from the same high school to join the program, along with 1-2 accompanying teachers．Students can enjoy a special program fee of $200 (all-inclusive)．The said fee is ignored for teachers．‎ Program Contact Email: denquiry@polyu.edu.hk Queen’s University: ‎Kingston‎, ‎ON August 13-18‎ The Summer Enrichment Experience at Queen’s gives students the opportunity to learn beyond the ‎ school classroom with engaging and challenging courses, motivating them to explore and apply new knowledge．After the experience, students will return to school with renewed energy, and excitement for learning．‎ Program Contact Email: linda.lamoureux@queensu.ca University‎ of Missouri: ‎Columbia‎, ‎MO July 13-28‎ The Career Exploration Summer Program is a 2-week program in which Explorers experience a taste of various 21st century career paths．The program includes professional site visits to Fortune 500 companies, nonprofit organizations, and U.S. Government Buildings．Social activities include free time at the on-campus Student‎ Recreation ‎Center, watching professional sports teams, and exploring new places during program field trips．‎ Program Contact Email: mucoemie@missouri.edu ‎56．Students choose The Summer Enrichment Experience probably because it ______．‎ A．makes them better at engineering B．provides them with courses for free ‎ C．enables them to learn by experience D．gives them the chance to work out ‎ ‎57．If students want to prepare themselves for their future job, they should ______．‎ A．take part in a 5-day program B．explore and apply new knowledge ‎ C．go to University of Missouri D．send emails to denquiry@polyu. edu. hk B Does the future of filmmaking lie in virtual reality (VR) films?‎ An ambitious team led by Yale senior Celine Tien might hold the answer to that question．‎ Tien produced, directed and acted in Pippa’s Pan, which she says is “one of the world’s first live-action VR films．” The film, which was completed in April, mixes live action with VR sections．Some of the characters were created via animation (动画) and other techniques that distinguish the film from 360° VR videos like the ones frequently seen on YouTube．‎ ‎“360° VR videos are stagnant, which means you don’t move with them and see a 360° view of whatever they’re filming,” Tien explained．“What we’re doing is immersive (沉浸式的) VR．When you put on the goggles (a kind of special glasses) you can physically walk around in the space, pick up objects and engage with the environment．It’s a huge difference．”‎ The immersive VR film experience is different for everyone who interacts with the medium, but that doesn’t mean the film’s ending will change for each viewer．‎ The film stars two Chinese-speaking actors．“It’s a love story about a woman suffering from Alzheimer’s disease who is trying to bring back memories of her husband,” Tien said．‎ The film has already been recognized by the VR industry．After handing in a short demo to the AT&T Developer Summit Conference, Tien and her team were invited to Las Vegas in January, where they came in third place．‎ If you’re dying to see the film already, your choices are a bit limited: Pippa’s Pan can’t be seen in movie theaters unless they happen to have VR goggles available．According to Tien, many theaters in China will soon have the ability, which makes sense considering China is the film’s target market．‎ Pippa’s Pan will be released in three languages: Chinese, English and Korean．“It can get spread in different ways: at film festivals with VR set ups and through HTC or Oculus headset stores,” Tien says．“If you have VR goggles you can download it and experience it yourself．We will also cooperate with movie theaters that have VR set ups．”‎ ‎58．According to the passage, people who are watching the immersive VR film can ______．‎ A．produce and act in the film B．involve themselves in the film C．change the ending of the film D．experience similarly in the film ‎59．We can know from the passage that Pippa’s Pan is ______．‎ A．regarded as the best VR film B．a theme-based story of love C．the world’s first live-action VR film D．about an effective cure for Alzheimer ‎60．If you want to watch the film Pippa’s Pan, you should ______．‎ A．go to a movie theater B．learn three languages C．have goggles available D．attend film festivals ‎61．The author writes the passage to _______．‎ A．explain to us how to watch a VR film B．tell us that China has been the film’s target market C．inform us that VR films are the future of filmmaking D．introduce an ambitious team and their immersive VR film C People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions--and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why. Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly(均匀的) across a face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes. ‎ ‎“We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions,” Jack said. “Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, whereas Easterners favor the eyes and neglect (忽略) the mouth.” According to Jack and her colleagues, the discovery shows that human communication of emotion is more complex than previously believed. As a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to reliably convey emotion in cross-cultural situations. The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of. expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral. They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies. It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than did Westerners. "The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions," Jack said. "Our data suggest that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less." In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified(多样性) these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise, when communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation. 62. The discovery shows that Westerners ___________ A. consider facial expressions universally reliable B. pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouth ‎ C. observe the eyes and the mouth in different ways D. have more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions 63. What were the people asked to do in the study? A.  To classify some face pictures. B. To get their faces impressive. C.  To make a face at each other. D. To observe the researchers' faces. 64. In comparison with Westerners, Easterners are likely to ___________ A. do translation more successfully B. examine the eyes more attentively ‎ C. study the mouth more frequently D. read facial expressions more correctly 65. What can be the best title for the passage? A. The Eye as the Window to the Soul B. Effective Methods to Develop Social Skills C. How to Increase Cross-cultural Understanding D. Cultural Differences in Reading Emotions D Next morning, there was no wind and we were half a mile from the eastern coast of the island．Although the sun shone bright and hot, I hated the thought of Treasure Island, afraid of what would happen there．‎ Guns were given to all the honest men．Hunter, Joyce, and Redruth were told what was happening, and were less surprised than we expected them to be．Then the captain went on deck to talk to the crew．‎ They all became happier at once．I think they thought they would find the treasure lying around on the beach! After some talk, six men stayed on board, and the others, with Silver, got into the small boats．‎ I then had the first of the mad ideas that helped to save our lives．If six men were left, we could not take control of the ship; and because only six were left, the captain’s men did not need my help．So I quickly went over the ship’s side and into the nearest boat．‎ No one took much notice of me, only one man saying, “Is that you, Jim?” But Silver called from the other boat, wanting to know if it was me．Then I began to worry if I had done the right thing．‎ The crews rowed to the beach and our boat arrived first．I ran towards the trees．Silver and the rest were a hundred metres behind, and I heard him shouting, “Jim, Jim!” But I took no notice, pushing through trees and bushes, and ran until I could run no longer．‎ I was pleased to lose Long John and began to enjoy looking around this strange island．I crossed wet ground and came to a long, open piece of sand, then went on to a place where the trees had branches that were thick and close to the sand．‎ Just then I heard distant voices, Silver’s among them, and hid behind a tree．Through the leaves, I saw Long John Silver and another of the crew talking together．‎ ‎“I’m warning you because I’ m your friend, Tom,” Silver was saying．‎ ‎“Silver,” said Tom．“You’re old and you’re honest, or so men say; and you’ve money, too, which lots of poor seamen haven’t．And you’re brave．Why let yourself be led away with that kind of scoundrel? I’d rather die than—”‎ Suddenly, there was a noise of distant shouting, then a long horrible scream．I had found one ‎ honest man here, and that terrible, distant scream told me of another．‎ ‎“John!” said Tom．“What was that?”‎ ‎“That?” replied Silver．His eyes shone like pieces of broken glass in the sun．“That’ll be Alan．”‎ ‎“Alan!” cried poor Tom．“An honest and true seaman! John Silver, you’ve been a friend of mine, but for no longer．You’ve killed Alan, have you? Then kill me, too，if you can!”‎ The brave man turned his back on Silver and began to walk back to the beach．With a shout, Silver threw his crutch through the air．It hit poor Tom between the shoulders, and he fell to the ground with a cry．‎ ‎66．Why did all the men become excited when they got close to the island? ‎ A．The weather was turning rather hot．‎ B．They could get help on the island．‎ C．They could go hunting with the guns．‎ D．Hidden treasures would be uncovered．‎ ‎67．Jim decided to go into the small boat because ______．‎ A．he would rather stay with Silver together B．the captain and his men didn’t like him C．he sensed danger and decided to escape D．he knew where the treasure was lying ‎68．How many persons at least did Silver kill on the island? ‎ A．One． B．Two． C．Four． D．Six．‎ ‎69．From the passage we can know that ______．‎ A．Jim was happy to be on the island B．Silver treated Tom as a true friend ‎ C．Silver got along well with the men D．Jim witnessed one of Silver’s murders ‎70．What kind of person is Silver indeed? ‎ A．Honest and brave． B．Calm and experienced．‎ C．Tricky and cruel． D．Generous and friendly．‎ 第II卷（非选择题，两部分，共35分）‎ 第四部分 单词拼写（共10小题；每小题0.5分，满分5分）‎ 根据句意及首字母或中文提示，完成或写出相应的英语单词。‎ ‎71.He _________(收益) a lot from communicating often with his pen friends.‎ ‎72.It is unusual for him to___________(讨价还价)with his boss over such little things.‎ ‎73.At this point one of the engines burst into__________(火焰).‎ ‎74.His bad health is a great __________(不利因素) to him.‎ ‎75.Our teacher told us that taking exercise regularly __________(促进) health.‎ ‎76.M________ 2 by 3 and you’ll get 6.‎ ‎77.There are too many TV a___________ between the programs.‎ ‎78.She won an Olympic gold m_______ in swimming.‎ ‎79.We were a_________ at the boy’s ability to settle the problem.‎ ‎80.His speech made a great i_________ on the audience.‎ 第五部分 任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）‎ Blood donation, also called blood banking, is a wonderful thing to do.

If you share the ideas above with me, you'll find your life is full of happiness all the time.‎ Best_wishes，‎ Mary
