Our programs give you the opportunity to meet award-winning lecturers, stay and dine in one of the historic Cambridge Colleges and enjoy a range of weekend excursions（游览）and social activities. To sign up for a program, simply apply online, or download an application form from our website.‎ ‎ Places on courses and in-college accommodation are limited, so we encourage applicants(申请者) to apply early to avoid disappointment.‎ This year we will be offering specialist programs in: Ancient Empires, Literature, History, Medieval Studies and new for 2016, Creative Writing and Hanseatic League. If you are looking to study a number of different subject areas, the Interdisciplinary Summer School is ideal. It is divided into three terms, Interdisciplinary Summer School Term I, Interdisciplinary Summer School Term II and Interdisciplinary Summer School Term III, covering a wide range of subjects including politics, philosophy, economics, literature, history and international relations. You can opt to do one or two terms. But most students choose all the three terms.‎ The Cambridge English for Academic Purposes program combines a two-week intensive（强化）language course with a two-week academic program. This allows students to put into practice the language skills they have learned during the first two weeks of the program. Applicants will also have the opportunity to sign up for weekend excursions and take part in various events.‎ If you want to join us in 2016, please click here to download a copy of brochure（手册）.

(CLICK HERE)‎ What our students say ‎ “The entire experience was even better than I expected. I absolutely loved it.” Sally, USA ‎ “I believe that the Science International Summer School was a fulfilling experience. I think that everyone should attend this Summer School at least once in a lifetime.” Dominika, Poland ‎21. What should people do if they want to sign up for a program in this ad?‎ A .They should go to Cambridge by plane.‎ B.They should phone Cambridge.‎ C.They should call for an application form. ‎ D.They should apply for the program online. ‎ ‎22.

Try the following steps and you will improve your battery life.‎ ‎1. Let there be less light For larger smart phones, the longer the screen is on and the brighter it is, the faster your battery goes. Try making the screen as dark as you can bear it and still read a text. Darkening the screen is common among teenagers, but it may be hard for Mom and Dad to see what’s showing on their phone.‎ ‎2. Turn off the signals Your smart phone does a lot of communicating in the background. They’re checking for things like new emails, text messages, Wi-Fi signals, Bluetooth signals, your location and more. These activities do drain your battery life, so you should turn ‎ off whatever you aren’t using. Location Services is also another feature that burns up your battery, so you can use GPS and Wi-Fi to find out which apps have access to Location Services and turn them off.‎ ‎3. Turn off notifications (通告)‎ Another way to improve battery life is to stop the constant flow of notifications and updates from Facebook, email, games and sites. Your phone will automatically pick up these notifications when it’s connected to the Internet, and they can have a noticeable impact on battery life.‎ ‎4. Use battery saving mode (模式)‎ For a quick way to improve your battery, simply put your smart phone in Airplane Mode. If Airplane Mode is too limiting, some phones have a specific battery saver mode. This shuts down unimportant functions and apps like Wi-Fi, some updates and more.‎ If used properly, these tips above will improve your battery life up to 30 percent.‎ ‎24．The underlined word “drain” means “ ”.‎ A. light up B. use up C. pick up D. make up ‎25．If you want to improve your battery life, you are advised to use a .‎ A. small screen B. large screen C. bright screen D. round screen ‎26．We can infer that aged people tend to .‎ A. email family members B. use Location Services C. darken the screen D. brighten the screen ‎27．We can learn that Airplane Mode can .‎ A. improve signals B. waste energy C. affect health D. save power C ‎ Scientists believe that knowledge could be directly fed into your brain while you are falling asleep, just like what happened in the famous science fiction film-The Matrix. Researchers claim to have developed a stimulator which can feed information directly into a person's brain and teach him new skills in a shorter amount of time. ‎ In the film called The Matrix, the hero Neo is able to learn kung fu in seconds after the fighting skills are ‘'uploaded” straight into his brain.‎ Researchers from the HRL Laboratories in California, say they have found a way to multiply learning, only on a much smaller scale than seen in the Hollywood film. They studied the electric signals in the brain of a trained pilot and then fed the data into the new learners as they learned to pilot a plane in a realistic flight simulator. The study, published in the journal Frontiers magazine, found that new learners who received brain stimulation(刺激）improved their piloting abilities and learnt the task 33 percent better than those who didn't accept brain stimulation. ‎ ‎“Our system is one of the first of its kind. It’s a brain stimulation system,” explained Dr. Matthew Phillips. “It sounds kind of scientific-fiction, but there is enough large scientific basis for the development of our system. When you learn something, your brain physically changes. What our system does is that it actually targets those changes to specific parts of the brain as you learn,'' he added. It turns out that certain functions of the brain, like speech and memory, are located in very specific areas of the brain, about the size of one of your fingers Dr Matthew believes that brain stimulation could eventually be applied to daily ‎ tasks like learning to drive, exam preparations and language learning.‎ The method itself is actually quite old. In fact, the ancient Egyptians 4000 years ago used electric fish to stimulate and reduce pain. ‎ ‎28. Why did the author mention the science fiction film-The Matrix?‎ ‎ A. To invent a new scientific simulator.‎ ‎ B. To develop this passage more directly.‎ ‎ C. To make his idea understood more easily.‎ ‎ D. To introduce a new interesting film to readers.‎ ‎29. What can we learn from the study in the passage?‎ ‎ A. The trained pilot has helped the new learners. ‎ ‎ B. The new learners only learned 33% of the task.‎ ‎ C. All the new pilots' brains have been fed data into ‎ D. The brain stimulation improved the new learners' learning.‎ ‎30. How does the system work according to Dr. Matthew Phillips.?‎ ‎ A. It changes the brain physically. B. It influences the brain mentally. ‎ ‎ C. It aims at the changes in the special part of the brain.‎ ‎ D. It influences the functions of the brain in many ways.‎ ‎31. What could be the best title for this passage?‎ ‎ A. A brain-changing system B. Feed data into your brain ‎ C. A science fiction has been realized D. Brain Stimulation helps learn better D ‎ Can you believe your eyes? A recent experiment suggests that the answer to that question may depend on your age.‎ ‎ Martin Doherty, a psychologist at the University of Stirling in Scotland, led the team of scientists. In this experiment, Doherty and his team tested the perception(观察力) of some people, using pictures of some orange circles. The researchers showed the same pictures to two groups of people. The first group included 151 children aged 4 to 10, and the second group included 24 adults aged 18 to 25.‎ ‎ The first group of pictures showed two circles alone on a white background. One of the circles was larger than the other, and these people were asked to identify the larger one. Four-year-olds identified the correct circle 79 percent of the time. Adults identified the correct circle 95 percent of the time.‎ ‎ Next, both groups were shown a picture where the orange circles, again of different sizes, were surrounded by gray circles. Here's where the trick lies in. In some of the pictures, the smaller orange circle was surrounded by even smaller gray circles —making the orange circle appear larger than the other orange circle, which was the real larger one. And the larger orange circle was surrounded by even bigger gray circles—so it appeared to be smaller than the real smaller orange circle.‎ ‎ When young children aged 4 to 6 looked at these tricky pictures, they weren't fooled—they were still able to find the bigger circle with roughly the same accuracy as before. Older children and adults, on the other hand, did not do as well. Older children often identified the smaller circle as the larger one, and adults got it wrong most of the time.‎ ‎ As children get older, Doherty said, their brains may develop the ability to identify visual context. In other words, they will begin to process the whole picture at once: the ‎ tricky gray circles, as well as the orange circle in the middle. As a result, they're more likely to fall for this kind of visual trick.‎ ‎32. Doherty and his team of scientists did an experiment to evaluate(评估)_____________.‎ ‎ A. children's and adults' eye-sight     B. people's ability to see accurately ‎ C. children's and adults' brains        D. the influence of people's age ‎33. When asked to find the larger circle,_____________.‎ ‎ A. children at 6 got it wrong 79 % of the time with no gray ones around ‎ B. only adults over 18 got it right 95% of the time with gray ones around ‎ C. children at 4 got it right about 79 % of the time with gray ones around ‎ D. adults got it right most of the time with gray ones around ‎34. According to the passage, we can know that_____________.‎ ‎ A. a smaller orange circle appears bigger on a white background ‎ B. an orange circle appears bigger than a gray one of the same size ‎ C. a circle surrounded by other circles looks bigger than its real size ‎ D. a circle surrounded by bigger ones looks smaller than its real size ‎35. Why are younger children not fooled?‎ ‎ A. Because their brain can hardly notice related things together.‎ ‎ B. Because older people are influenced by their experience.‎ ‎ C. Because people's eyes become weaker as they grow older.‎ ‎ D. Because they are smarter than older children and adults.‎ 第二节 七选五（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。‎ Stress is a popular cause of major diseases affecting people worldwide.

Parking a bike takes up less space and riding bicycles is 100% pollution free. Besides, with more people taking bicycles, the traffic problem in big cities will greatly be eased.‎ Although there are so many advantages，it also has its own limitations. It is unsuitable for a long journey. As most bikes don't have a roof in case of rain, it is inconvenient and unsafe to ride bicycles in the heavy rain. What is worse, some people with bad manners park the bicycle everywhere at their will, which leads to the disorder of the city.‎ Anyway, the mobike is now a popular means of transport in China. In my opinion, such a change will contribute to a healthy and responsible lifestyle ‎ Yours sincerely,‎ Li Hua
