Because they were useful — we were told — for all kinds of jobs. Of course now we know that couldn't be further from the truth, and that the subjects that keep young people's options open and unlock doors to all sorts of careers are the STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) subjects.”‎ She also described maths as “the subject that employers value most” and said that pupils who study Alevel maths will earn 10 percent more over their lifetime.‎ ‎“These figures show us that too many young people are making choices aged 15 which will hold them back for the rest of their lives.”she said.‎ ‎1．In order to guarantee your future job, which kind of courses will you choose according to the survey?‎ A．Engineering or English.‎ B．History or Maths.‎ C．Maths or Art.‎ D．Engineering or Chemistry.‎ ‎2．What's the students' attitude towards their chosen courses?‎ A．Doubtful.　　　　　　　　 B．Worried.‎ C．Optimistic. D．Objective.‎ ‎3．How do you understand the underlined words?‎ A．It is far away from the truth.‎ B．It's to the truth.‎ C．It couldn't be closer to the truth.‎ D．It reflects the truth.‎ ‎4．What did Nicky Morgan indicate in her claim?‎ A．If you want to do something different, the arts and humanities are what you choose now.‎ B．STEM subjects can make young people choose their future jobs freely.‎ C．At college, young people should make choices for their lives.‎ D．Maths and science are considered to be the subjects that employers value most.‎ B ‎(2016·济南市高三调研)For twenty years, I saved all my college course notes and textbooks: that's a lot of paper.‎ Worse, it's not easy to carry them around — and trust me, they aren't light — on at least seven moves. Yet I never once looked at them. They sat in our basement, covered in a thick layer of dust. If books and papers could wonder, they'd wonder why they were still under our stairs after all those years. When would the Big Day come?‎ Well, the Big Day eventually did arrive; only it was different than expected. My wife, always more accepting changes than I am, finally talked me into clearing out the entire mess.‎ The pain I experienced was also unexpected. What hurt me was to come across those terrible papers I'd written, which reminded me of my poor study habits, and an embarrassing lack of comprehension. It was great to get rid of them. But it was also a clearing of personal history.‎ At first, I struggled with this. The truth was in the record that my books, my notes, and my papers were primary source materials, documenting an important time in my life. To clear them out was to clear out the truth.‎ What I've learned since taking this leap is that the process is more important than the truth. I feel as if much of my real education during my college years isn't in the documents but now in me.‎ So I am glad to free myself of this physical burden. And what's better is that I don't need to look back to those painful moments. They belong to the past.‎ You might want to consider doing something similar, either under the stairs of ‎ your basement or in your mind.‎ What is the personal rubbish piling in your life? Clear it out and make your life awesome.‎ ‎5．Why was the author finally determined to desert all the college materials?‎ A．Because his wife persuaded him to.‎ B．Because they were of no use at all.‎ C．Because they were heavy on the moves.‎ D．Because they occupied space too long.‎ ‎6．The author struggled at the very beginning for ________.‎ A．a sense of pain B．a sense of embarrassment C．a sense of regret for the past D．a sense of losing part of his history ‎7．What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?‎ A．The past experiences.‎ B．The wasted collegerelated materials.‎ C．The rubbish in the basement.‎ D．Physical and psychological mess.‎ ‎8．What would be the best title for the passage?‎ A．Let It Go B．Sort It Out C．Give up the Past D．Forget the History C ‎(2016·四川省南充市第三次适应性考试)Two recent studies have found that punishment is not the best way to influence behavior.‎ One showed that adults are much more cooperative if they work in a system based on rewards. Researchers at Harvard University in the United States and the Stockholm School of Economics in Sweden did the study.‎ They had about two hundred college students play a version of the game known as the Prisoner's Dilemma. The game is based on the tension (紧张气氛) between the interests of an individual and a group. The students played in groups of four. Each player could win points for the group, so they would all gain equally. But each player could also reward or punish each of the other three players, at a cost to the punisher.‎ Harvard researcher David Rand says the most successful behavior proved to be cooperation. The groups that rewarded it the most earned about twice as much in the game as the groups that rewarded it the least. And the more a group punished itself, the lower its earnings were. The group with the most punishment earned twentyfive ‎ percent less than the group with the least punishment. The study appeared last month in the journal Science.‎ The other study involved children. It was presented last month in California at a conference on violence and abuse. Researchers used intelligence tests given to two groups. More ‎ than eight hundred children aged two to four the first time they were tested. More than seven hundred children aged five to nine.‎ The two groups were retested four years later, and the study compared the results with the first test. Both groups contained children whose parents used physical punishment and children whose parents did not. The study says the IQs — or intelligence quotients — of the younger children who were not spanked were five points higher than those who were. In the older group, the difference was almost three points.‎ Murray Strauss from the University of New Hampshire worked with Mallie Paschall from the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation. Professor Strauss has written extensively about physical punishment of children. He says the more they are spanked, the slower their mental development. He also looked at average IQs in other nations and found them lower where spanking was more common.‎ ‎9．Which could be the best title of the passage?‎ A．Punishment B．The Best Way to Influence Behavior C．Punishment or Reward: Which Works Better on Behavior?‎ D．Two Recent Studies ‎10．The underlined word “spanked” probably means “______”．‎ A．won B．punished C．tested D．praised ‎11．According to the passage, the researchers may agree the best way to influence behavior is ________.‎ A．rewarding good behavior B．correcting bad behavior C．punishing badlybehaved children D．praising wellbehaved children ‎12．The author develops the passage ________.‎ A．in order of time B．in order of importance C．by describing his experiences D．by using quotations (引证) and statistics
