California D. Pennsylvania C An Ofsted (英国教育标准办公室）study reports that teachers are discouraging students who want to leave school and work as apprentices (学徒）in beauty salons (美容中心）or hair dressers. 　　Inspectors questioned 105 young people for a report on apprenticeships published on Wednesday. They found several examples of young people who felt they had been laughed at by their teachers for wanting to progress to work-based learning, particularly in care or hairdressing, rather than stay on at school. 　　Right or wrong, is it any surprise that this is happening? From 2014，the government will measure schools according to the rate of their pupils who go to university. Brian Lightman, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, says the government has already put teachers under “very great pressure to focus on academic subjects”. 　　On the other hand, the Education Act 2011，which came into force in November, places schools under a duty to give fair career advice to pupils. This advice must include information on all post-16 education and training choices, including apprenticeships. This doesn’t appear to be happening in several schools, according to Ofsted’s report. Many of the young people the inspectors talked to said the advice they had received on apprenticeships was “unsatisfactory”. 　　Schools were also blamed for lack of work experience courses, which are particularly important for teenagers considering an apprenticeship. They help students decide whether they enjoy a line of work and enable employers to see whether those on work experience have the potential to be hired as apprentices in future years. 　　But there is a good reason why they can’t do this: they’d be unable to adapt to GCSE (英国齊通中等教育证书）exams if they did. Sometimes, it seems, schools just can’t win. 28. Why do teachers oppose the students’ leaving school and working as apprentices? 　A. The government urges teachers to concentrate on academic subjects. 　B. The students are only wasting time working as apprentices. 　C. Employers are under great pressure of taking GCSE exams. 　D. Employers don’t give students chances to work as apprentices. 29.Pressure for schools to provide pupils with career advice comes from _____ ‎ ‎　A. Association of School and College Leaders　B. Education Act 2011 　C. GCSE exams　D. Ofsted 30. The underlined word “They” in Paragraph 5 refers to _____. 　A. schools B. employers 　C. work experience courses D. teenagers considering an apprenticeship 31. What does the author think of teachers’ discouraging students working as apprentices? 　A. Surprising. B. Understandable. C. Wrong. D. Right. 　　D ‎　　As many people hit middle age, they often start to notice their memory is not what it used to be. We suddenly can’t remember where we put the keys just moments ago. As the brain fades, we mildly refer to these occurrences as “senior moments”. While seemingly no big deal, this loss of mental focus can potentially have a detrimental influence on our professional, social, and personal happiness. 　　Neuroscientists (神经系统科学家）are increasingly showing there’s actually a lot that can be done. The brain needs exercise in much the same way our muscles do, and the right mental exercise can greatly improve our basic cognitive (认知）functions. Now, a new San Francisco Web-based company has taken it a step further and developed the first “brain training program” —Lumosity. It is far more than an online place to exercise your mental skills. That’s because they have combined these exercises into a Web-based program that allows you to systematically improve your memory and attention skills. The program records your progress and provides detailed feedback (反馈）on your performance and improvement. Most importantly, it constantly improves the games you play to build on the strengths you are developing. 　　Obviously it does work. The company says, according to the clinical trials, its users have reported clearer and quicker thinking, improved memory for names, numbers, directions, etc and better concentration at work. While many of the games at Lumosity are free, a reasonable subscription fee is required to use the full program over the long term. However, Lumosity is currently offering a free trial of their program to new users who create an account so that you can see how well it works before you decide to subscribe. 32.The underlined word “detrimental” probably means _____. 　A. harmful B. beneficial C. major D. decisive ‎ ‎33. What is Lumosity? 　A. A program aiming to exercise your muscles. 　B. A Web-based company located in San Francisco. 　C. An online program offering brain training exercises. 　D. A series of games providing detailed feedback. 34.If you want to be a user of Lumosity, _____. 　A. no fee is required for you to use the full program. 　B. an account is not necessary for trial use 　C. you’re asked to pay a reasonable fee before subscription 　D. you can try it for free before you buy the full version 35.The writer intends to _____through the passage. 　A. persuade people to try Lumosity 　B. introduce neuroscience to readers 　C. show his support for online games ‎　D. question the effect of the program 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。（如果所用的答题卡没有E、F、G选项，则选E涂A、B,选F涂A、C,选G 涂 A、D。） 　　How to Become an Effective Leader 　　The key to becoming an effective leader is not to focus on making other people follow, buton making yourself the kind of person they want to follow. 36_____ It takes time tobecome a trustworthy leader. 　　As you prepare yourself to become a better leader, use the following guidelines to help you grow: 　　1. Don’t be self-centered 　　The truly great leaders are not in leadership for personal gain. 37 _____ Perhaps that is why Lawrence D. Bell remarked, “A man who cannot bother to do little things for others are unlikely become a good leader.” 　　2. 38 _____ 　　Rare is the effective leader who didn’t learn to become a good follower first. That is why a ‎ leadership institution such as the United States Military Academy teaches its officers to become effective followers first. 　　3. Work with excellence 　　No one respects and follows mediocrity (平庸)Leaders who earn the right to lead give their all to what they do. They bring into play not only their skills and talents, but also great passion and hard work. 39 _____ 　　4. Give your power away 　　What makes leadership so special is that you become a better leader by sharing whatever　　power you have, not by saving it all for yourself. 40 _____ If you use your power toempower others, your leadership will extend far beyond your grasp. 　　A. Leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less. 　　B. They lead in order to serve other people. 　　C. Become a good follower first. 　　D. Leaders help people to reach their potential. 　　E. They perform on the highest level of which they are capable. 　　F. You’re meant to be a river, not a pool. 　　G Leadership isn't learned or earned in a moment.‎ 第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ ‎“Shabby” is the very word that comes, also describes my state of mind when I think back to that time and place.‎ ‎ I was a new mother then, having given birth to my first 41child.
