The Start of the Davos Challenge: Walk for Education.‎ B A couple of days ago, as the test results came out, my son and a group of his 13-year-old friends piled into the back seat of my car, ready for the last-day-of-school party at McDonald's. “Jack got a laptop for getting straight A's, and Laurie got a cell-phone,” one boy said. “Oh, yeah, and Sarah got an iPad, and she's only in third grade,” said another. “And how about Brian? He got $10 for each A.”‎ I suddenly became concerned. These payoffs might get parents through grammar school, but what about high school and beyond? What would be left after the electric guitar, the cell-phone, and the DVD player?       ‎ I saw the road ahead: As the homework load increased, my income would decrease. I saw my comfortable lifestyle disappear before my eyes — no more of those $5 bags of already-peeled organic carrots. No more organic anything!            ‎ I started to feel surprised and nervous. Would every goal achieved by my two children fetch a reward? A high grade point average? A good class ranking? Would sports achievements be included in this reward system: soccer goals, touchdowns? What about the orchestra? Would first chair pay more than second? I'd be penniless by eighth-grade graduation.‎ ‎“We never paid anything for good grades,” said my neighbor across the street, whose son was recently accepted at MIT. “He just did it on his own. Maybe once in a while we went out for pizza, but that's about it.”‎ Don't you just hate that? We're all running around looking for the MP3 player with the most updates, and she’s spending a few dollars on pizza. She gets motivation; we get negotiation. And what about the primary grades? What do these students get? “When the teacher asked if anyone got rewards for good grades, everyone in my class raised their hands and said they got ice cream cones ,” said one third-grader.‎ ‎24. What’s the best title for the passage?‎ A. Tips on Paying Kids for Good Grades ‎ B. New changes in Paying Kids for Good Grades C. Good Grades Mean Good Rewards D. Don't Pay Kids for Good Grades ‎25. What does the underlined sentence in the third paragraph probably mean?‎ A. Taking care of my children would influence my work.‎ B. I would spend less money on my children's good grades.‎ C. More rewards would be needed as my children grow up.‎ D. Reducing my children's homework load would cost me a lot.‎ ‎26. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.‎ A. if you buy children pizza as a reward, they will work harder B. if you pay kids for good grades, they will take it for granted C. children will not ask for rewards when they enter high school D. good grades won't help kids make great progress in the future ‎27. The author takes her neighbor as an example to show __________.‎ A. pizza is the best way to motivate children B. it is necessary to reward children for their good grades C. getting rewards for good grades is common nowadays D. rewards are not the only way to encourage children C As anyone who freelances (做自由职业) knows, there are lots of advantages of working at home alone. But there are drawbacks too, like the potential loneliness. No wonder co-working spaces are becoming so popular: they permit self-employed individuals to feel like they are part of all office environments, while making them get some work done too. But renting a co-working space does cost money. Now a Swedish project is aiming to change that by turning people’s under-used homes into temporary co-working spaces, available to freelancers for free. Hoffice was started by freelancers Christofer Gradin Franzen and Johline Zandra about a year ago in Stockholm when they invited a few people into their home office to work together. It was a great success and the project has since spread to a number of cities in Europe,‎ ‎ North and South America, Australia, India and Japan. Anyone can sign up and offer their home space as a free co-working space, or go to find a Hoffice near them. On a Hoffice day, everyone arrives and starts work at a certain hour. After 45 minutes, everyone gets up to take a break, do qigong or yoga for 10 to 15 minutes. Afterwards people can gather around again and restate their intentions and goals for the rest of the work day, as a way to motivate each other. Meals can be eaten together at a certain hour, potluck-style(家常饭)or by bringing your own lunch. This process creates an encouraging and supportive work environment. As some freelancers describe, “By working at Hoffice, we give ourselves and each other the gift to spend our days in a social working environment, where we are extremely productive without ignoring our other human needs. We also make sure to give us and each other what we need to feel calm, happy, inspired and creative during the working day.” So Hoffice is not just about sharing space; it’s also about a free exchange of ideas. And perhaps the best thing is that Hoffices are free to use. 24. Hoffice was started to________. A. change people’s attitude to work B. encourage people to be more cooperative C. improve people’s working conditions D. provide a co-working space for free 25. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. How people respond to Hoffice. B. How a Hoffice day works. C. What people share at Hoffice. D. What Hoffice means to people. 26. Some freelancers’ descriptions of Hoffice suggest that they________. A. work longer than before B. can’t be separated from each other C. benefit a lot from the working style D. expect more people to join them 27. What do we know about Hoffice according to the text? A. It has been popular in many countries for many years. ‎ B. It has created many new job opportunities. C. It focuses on not only environment but also human needs. ‎ D. It is suitable for people from all walks of life. ‎ D When there are some strangers in front of us, which of them will we trust?‎ According to a new study in the online PLOS ONE, people make their decisions to trust others largely based on their faces. Your appearance can do a lot for you, especially if you are in the financial industry. The more trustworthy you look, the more likely people will buy what you’re selling. Researchers from Britain’s University of Warwick Business School, University College London, and Dartmouth College, US, did a number of experiments. The research team used computer software to make 40 faces, from the least to the most trustworthy-looking. The study said that the difference between a trustworthy face and one that isn’t as trustworthy comes from features that look slightly angry or slightly happy, even when the face is at rest. However, a slightly happy face is more likely to be trusted. Researchers gave participants some money and asked them which face they trusted to invest the money for them. Then researchers gave some good and bad information about the people with these faces, and asked the participants again whom they trusted. The results showed that even if they got different information, the participants didn’t change their choices. They were still more likely to invest their money with the more trustworthy-looking faces. Chris Olivola, one of the study’s authors, said in the University of Warwick’s press release: “It seems we are still willing to go with our feelings about whether we think someone looks like that we can trust them. The desire to judge strangers by their faces is hard to resist.” 32. According to the study, which of the following faces is most likely to be trusted? ‎ A. A sad face. B. A smiling face. C. A crying face. D. An angry face.‎ ‎33. Which of the following about the experiment is TRUE? ‎ A. The trustworthy faces were given good information.‎ B. Researchers took photos of the 40 people’s faces in college.‎ C. Most participants gave their money to the trustworthy-looking faces.‎ D. Participants liked to choose the faces with good information.‎ ‎34. What did the researchers learn from their experiment? ‎ A. People can’t rely on background information to judge others.‎ B. People prefer good-looking faces to money.‎ C. People often judge strangers by their faces.‎ D. People don’t trust strangers with sad faces. ‎ ‎35. Which of the following can be a proper title for this passage? ‎ A. What kind of face do you trust? B. Who did the experiments?‎ C. Why do you trust him or her? D. Why did they do the experiments? ‎ 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。‎ A student’s life is never easy. 36 A lot of preparations are needed so you can be sure to go back home with a diploma and a bright future waiting for you. The following are some basic things you need to do before even seizing that passport and boarding on the plane.‎ Knowing the country.‎ You shouldn’t bother researching the country’s hottest tourist spots or historical places. You won’t go there as a tourist, but as a student. It’ll be helpful to read the most important points in their history and to read up on their culture. 37 You surely don’t want to face legal problems, especially if you’re away from home.‎ Studying their language.‎ Don’t expect that you can graduate abroad without knowing even the basics of the language. Before leaving your home country, take online lessons to at least master some of their words and sentences. 38 Doing this will also prepare you in ‎ communicating with those who can’t speak English.‎ ‎ 39 ‎ Check the conversion（兑换）of your money to their local currency, set up your bank account so you can use it there, get an insurance, and find an apartment. The Internet or your intended school will be very helpful in finding an apartment and helping you understand local currency.‎ Remember, you’re not only carrying your own reputation but your country’s reputation as well. If you act foolishly, people there might think that all of your country men are foolish as well. 40 ‎ A. Packing your clothes.‎ B. Preparing for other needs.‎ C. Most importantly, read about their laws.‎ D. This will be useful in living and studying there.‎ E. That would surely be a very bad start for your study abroad program.‎ F. Going with their trends will keep it from being too obvious that you’re a foreigner.‎ G. And it is even more difficult if you will have to complete your study in a foreign land. ‎ 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） ‎ A lady wanted a birthday gift from her husband.
