The 17-year-old achieved a surprising clean sweep — he was accepted to every Ivy League school.‎ ‎"I didn’t think I would get into any," Rojas told The Orange County Register on Saturday. "When I got all eight, it was a blessing and a curse because I had to choose. I was excited and scared and everything at the same time." The first call came from Yale University in February. Within weeks, calls, emails and letters followed from Dartmouth College, Brown University, the University of Pennsylvania, Cornell University, Columbia University, Harvard University and Princeton University. Rojas also was accepted by Stanford University and two nearby schools, the University of California, Irvine, and California State University, Fullerton.‎ Rojas is a national speech and debate champion. Rojas’ speech and debate coach at Fullerton, told the newspaper that Rojas is a determined self-starter who thrives（茁壮成长） on competition. "His biggest motivation was that he wanted his parents to know that their hard work meant something," Tinajero said.‎ After visiting several campuses, he settled on Yale, which costs $64,000 a year with room and board. He is responsible for $6,000; Yale scholarships and federal grant money cover the rest.‎ ‎"I loved Princeton," Rojas said. "It was a beautiful campus, but it felt very stressful. Stanford was too big and overwhelming." "The (incoming) Yale kids were a little bit more enthused（热心的） to get started and get going," Rojas added.‎ Rojas attributes his academic success to hard work and the guidance of his older siblings. He’ll mostly take it easy during the summer before heading to Yale in late August. He’s considering majoring in Latin American studies and perhaps a career as a lawyer or in international affairs.‎ ‎24. From the text, we know that _____.‎ A. Rojas’ parents graduated from college B. Rojas’ parents came from Latin America C. Rojas’ parents guided Rojas in his study D. Rojas’ parents’ hard work inspired Rojas ‎25. Which of the following doesn’t belong to Ivy League school?‎ A. Yale University B. Stanford University C. Harvard University D. Columbia University ‎26. Why does Rojas choose Yale University? ‎ A. He likes all the majors in Yale University.‎ B. He pays a little and is easier to get started.‎ C. The campus of Yale University is beautiful.‎ D. There is no stress in study in Yale University.‎ ‎27. What is the text mainly about?‎ A. Rojas’ reason for choosing Yale University. ‎ B. Rojas’ hard work and his teacher’s remark on him.‎ C. Rojas’ being accepted to every Ivy League school.‎ D. Rojas’ feeling of going to one of the top universities.‎ C Sir Martin Sorrell, the Sinophile chief executive of the advertising conglomerate WPP, was at Kensington Wade, Britain’s first primary school to offer full Mandarin immersion(沉浸式普通话教育) for its pupils, on a recent evening, for a reception to celebrate the Chinese mid-autumn ‎ festival. Sir Martin offered assurance to the group of parents that the £17,000-a-year tuition they had shelled out for at the newly opened school was money well spent.‎ ‎ “Chinese is the emerging(新兴的) language because China is emerging as a political and economic power,” said Antonella Sorace, a linguistics professor. “It’s regarded as a good investment.”‎ Kensington Wade is named after Sir Thomas Wade, a 19th century British diplomat(外交官) who produced one of the first English-Mandarin textbooks. Its first class of 15 students arrived last month. Three were fluent Mandarin speakers while about half had no Mandarin.‎ Its two classrooms, in an existing academy, are unremarkable, with toys and early reading books. On closer inspection, it becomes apparent that one is entirely in English and the other in Mandarin. One teacher is British, the other Chinese. The children move between them and their corresponding worlds during the day. The hope is that by age 11, when they graduate, they will be fluent in both.‎ Kensington Wade also aims to combine two teaching styles. It admires the famous “Shanghai model” of maths with the creativity and critical thinking valued in a British education. The benefits of bilingual education are attractive, including greater cultural identification and cognitive flexibility. Then there is the question of whether children view the language as being useful.‎ In April, Jo Wallace, Kensington Wade’s headteacher, visited three schools in the San Francisco area that have been offering immersive English-Mandarin instruction, one for more than 30 years. “I went with the worry that these little kids were going to be confused, that they’d be stressed. And all I saw was children having a lovely time,” she recalled, although she acknowledged that some parents would have to “hold their nerve” in the early days. ‎ ‎28. Why did Martin Sorrell come to Kensington Wade?‎ ‎ A. To celebrate English-Mandarin teaching.‎ B. To attend the Mid-Autumn Festival party.‎ C. To give some money to the primary school. ‎ D. To provide guidance on Mandarin teaching.‎ ‎29. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “shell out” in paragraph1?‎ ‎ A. Pay. B. Donate . C. Raise. D. Lose.‎ ‎30. What’s Antonella Sorace’s attitude to English-Mandarin instruction?‎ ‎ A. Suspicious. B. Critical. C. Favorable. D. Negative. ‎ ‎31. From the text, we know that ___________.‎ ‎ A. Kensington Wade was founded because of Sir Thomas Wade B. the students in Kensington Wade can speak Mandarin fluently ‎ C. teachers in Kensington Wade master English and Chinese well D. Kensington Wade will use “Shanghai model” of maths in teaching D A professor at Sichuan University has introduced a facial recognition system to monitor students in his class.‎ The system, invented by Professor Wei Xiaoyong of the university’s computer science department, has been considered a "magic device" by Wei’s students. Among other things, it is able to analyze the effect of Wei’s teaching.‎ In Wei’s lab, a reporter got to examine the system at work, observing a video in which every student’s face was marked with a yellow box. Each box was labeled as "happy" or "neutral," classifying the students’ overall feelings. Based on facial expressions, Wei is able to know when students are the most active, and when they need more interaction to stay engaged.‎ Long-term monitoring of 324 students revealed that academic performance may be proportional(成比例的) to the level of students’ activity in class. "The facial expressions tell me which teaching methods are most easily understood and accepted," Wei confirmed.‎ The system has also been used to study relationships between students. By recording the students’ interactions with others, the system tells Wei whether an individual pupil is an introvert(性格内向的人) or an extrovert(性格外向的人). "In the future, expressions will be divided into more categories, which will allow us to do more analysis," Wei said.‎ In addition to maximizing the efficiency of teaching, the system can be employed in many other fields. "For example, a camera installed in front of an advertisement can analyze the effect of the advertisement by capturing the expressions of the public," Wei offered.‎ ‎32. Why did Professor Wei develop a facial recognition system?‎ ‎ A. To keep an eye on his students in class. ‎ B. To improve his students’ grades in class.‎ C. To help students interact with each other. ‎ D. To study teacher-student relationship in class. ‎ ‎33. The third paragraph is mainly about _____.‎ A. what functions the system has B. how the system really works C. how the system was invented D. how students feel about the system ‎34. Where does the text probably come from?‎ A. A research plan B. A science fiction ‎ C. A research report D. A business report ‎35. What do we know from paragraph 4?‎ ‎ A. Students’ grades have nothing to do with the activities in class.‎ B. Students should adjust themselves to different teaching methods.‎ C. Students can understand and accept any teaching methods easily.‎ D. The more students involve in class, the better grades they will get.‎ 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。‎ How to Read Fiction Literary fiction tells a story about characters in conflict or expresses an emotion or idea. 36 ‎ ‎◆◆The scope of literary fiction There’s enormous diversity in fiction: biographical, religious, romantic, the novel of manners, naturalistic, political, historical, regional, national epic, ethnic etc. Popular fiction genres（类型） include Western, science fiction, detective, romance, and horror. 37 ‎ ‎◆◆ 38 ‎ We read for entertainment or instruction, according to some critics. Others assign a slightly different purpose to novels and short stories: to delight or enlighten through the various expressions of the imagination. Popular or commercial literature may also aim to shock, amaze, or provide us with an escape from reality into another world.‎ ‎◆◆Responding to literary fiction ‎ ‎ 39 Next, pay attention to the author’s style—the choice and use of words to achieve ‎ effects line by line. The point of view employed somewhat controls the style. A first-person narrator of average intelligence, for example, can only use words that are part of his or her vocabulary. Some other literary devices to notice include figures of speech, symbolism, major images, motifs (repetition of images), and abrupt transitions. Think about how these devices function in creating the author’s style.‎ ‎◆◆Appreciating literature You can enjoy literary fiction more if you have some knowledge of the development of the novel and of its different types, techniques, and styles. You can also enhance your experience by reading about the author and the era in which the author lived. 40 Another way is to compare a given novel or story with others you have read. In addition, discussing authors and titles with friends will give you new perspectives on the works while turning literature into a social experience.‎ A. Why read fiction?‎ B. The author lets a character tell the story as a way of writing.‎ C. First, determine what point of view the writer is using.‎ D. If you haven’t found what you want, try another genre.‎ E. The colorful life of American writer Ernest Hemingway offers much insight into his work.‎ F. But how do we as readers become involved in these narratives?‎ G. Understanding literary fiction is easy.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用 (共两节，满分45)‎ 第一节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ Last night I invited my exhusband’s mother out for a meal.
