Beginning level students, however, must have completed at least one semester of college-level Spanish. ACCOMMODATIONS Student apartments, local host families, and residence halls (Additional fees. Only available during the fall semester). Host family includes 2 meals per day and laundry service. All Barcelona housing includes internet access. G.P.A. REQUIREMENT 2.75 LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION Spanish, Catalán, and English ACCEPTANCE TO U.S. UNIVERSITY REQUIRED No DATES & PRICES Fall 2017 September, 4, 2017 —December 21, 2017 $11,680 Academic Year 17-18 September 4, 2017 — April 28, 2018 $23,380 Spring 2018 Late January, 2018 — April 28, 2018 $11,680 Barcelona is a city of contradictions: old and new combined, beautiful and industrial, traditional and modern. Bordered by France to the north and the Mediterranean Sea to the east, Barcelona is one of the most “European” of Spanish cities. Stroll Las Ramblas, one of the city’s most famous and busy avenue. Students taking a gap year in Barcelona will find it to be a very cosmopolitan(世界性的) city that combines the latest trends with the most typical Spanish traditions. Barcelona offers museums, cinemas, restaurants, the beach, the mountains, and people from all over the world. Although local people speak both Spanish and Catalán, the mixture of local residents and international visitors makes it an easy city to understand and makes yourself understood. Barcelona exposes students to several cultures, languages, and world views; but then again, what else could be expected from the complex city of Barcelona? 56. Which is one of the requirements for the students applying for the program? A. They have to be Europeans. B. They have to be 18 or above. C. They have received admission to an American university. D. They have learned Spanish at college at least for one semester. 57. Which of the following is TRUE about Barcelona? A. The local people speak English besides Spanish. B. It owns the most famous avenue and museum in Spain. C. There is a conflict between modern and traditional cultures. D. It can prepare students for global awareness and involvement. B “Opinion” is a word that is used carelessly today. It is used to refer to matters of taste, belief, and judgment. This inaccurate use would probably cause little confusion if people didn’t attach too much importance to opinion. Unfortunately, most attach great importance to it. “I have as much right to my opinion as you to yours,’’ and ‘‘Everyone’s entitled to his opinion,’’ are common expressions. In fact, anyone who would challenge another’s opinion is likely to be branded intolerant. Is that label accurate? Is it intolerant to challenge another’s opinion? It depends on what definition of opinion you have in mind. For example, you may ask a friend ‘‘What do you think of the new Ford cars?” And he may reply, “In my opinion, they’re ugly.” In this case, it would not only be intolerant to challenge his statement, but foolish. For it’s obvious that by opinion he means his personal preference, a matter of taste. And as the old saying goes, ‘‘It’s pointless to argue about matters of taste. But consider this very different use of the term. A newspaper reports that the Supreme Court has delivered its opinion in a controversial case. Obviously the justices did not share their personal preferences, their mere likes and dislikes. They stated their considered judgment, painstakingly arrived at after thorough inquiry and deliberation(审议). Most of what is referred to as opinion falls somewhere between these two extremes. It is not an expression of taste. Nor is it careful judgment. Yet it may contain elements of both. It is a view or belief more or less inaccurately arrived at, with or without examining the evidence. Is everyone entitled to his opinion? Of course, this is not only permitted, but guaranteed. We are free to act on our opinions only so long as, in doing so, we do not harm others. 58. According to the author, who of the following would be labeled as intolerant? A. Someone who can’t put up with others’ tastes. B. Someone who turns a deaf ear to others’ opinions. C. Someone who values only their own opinions. D. Someone whose opinion harms other people. 59. The new Ford cars are cited as an example to show that . A. it is foolish to criticize a famous brand B. one should not always agree to others’ opinions C. personal tastes are not something to be challenged D. it is unwise to express one’s likes and dislikes in public 60. Considered judgment is different from personal preference in that .. A. it is stated by judges in the court B. it reflects public like and dislikes C. it is a result of a lot of controversy D. it is based on careful thought C When a driver slams on the brakes to avoid hitting a pedestrian crossing the road illegally, she is making a moral decision that shifts risk from the pedestrian to the people in the car. Self-driving cars might soon have to make such ethical (道德的)judgments on their own — but settling on a universal moral code for the vehicles could be a tough task, suggests a survey. The largest ever survey of machine ethics, called the Moral Machine, laid out 13 possible situations in which someone’s death was unavoidable. Respondents were asked to choose who to spare in situations that involved a mix of variables: young or old, rich or poor, more people or fewer. Within 18 months, the online quiz had recorded 40 million decisions made by people from 233 countries and territories. When the researchers analyzed these answers, they found that the nations could be divided into three groups. One contains North America and several European nations where Christianity has been the dominant (占支配地位的)religion; another includes countries such as Japan, Indonesia and Pakistan, with strong Confucian or Islamic traditions. A third group consists of countries in Central and South America, such as Colombia and Brazil. The first group showed a stronger preference for sacrificing older lives to save younger ones than did the second group, for example. The researchers also identified relationships between social and economic factors in a country. They found that people from relatively wealthy countries with strong institutions, such as Finland and Japan, more often chose to hit people who stepped into traffic illegally than did respondents in nations with weaker institutions, such as Nigeria or Pakistan. People rarely face such moral dilemmas, and some cities question whether the possible situations posed in the online quiz are relevant to the ethical and practical questions surrounding driverless cars. But the researchers argue that the findings reveal cultural differences that governments and makers of self-driving cars must take into account if they want the vehicles to gain public acceptance. At least Barbara Wege, who heads a group working on autonomous-vehicle ethics at Audi in Ingolstadt, Germany, says such studies are valuable. Wege argues that self-driving cars would cause fewer accidents, proportionally, than human drivers do each year—but that people might focus more on events involving robots. Surveys such as the Moral Machine can help to begin public discussions about these unavoidable accidents that might develop trust. “We need to come up with a social consensus,” she says, “about which risks we are willing to take.” 61. Why is it difficult to set universal moral rules for programming self-driving cars? A. Social values always change with the times. B. Moral choices vary between different cultures. C. Drivers have a preference for sacrificing the weak. D. Car makers are faced with decisions of life or death. 62. The researchers conducted the study by_____. A. using a massive online quiz worldwide B. comparing different cultures and customs C. dividing the respondents into three groups D. performing a series of controlled experiments 63. According to the study, in which country are drivers more likely to hit a pedestrian crossing the road illegally? A. Nigeria B. Colombia C. Finland D. Indonesia 64. Barbara Wege would probably agree that _____. A. Self-driving cars will greatly improve the traffic environment B. Accidents caused by self-driving cars might receive more attention C. Problems involving self-driving cars might shake the public trust in society D. Car makers needn’t take the risk of solving self-driving car ethical dilemmas D In 2009 a new flu virus was discovered. Combining elements of the viruses that cause bird flu and swine flu, this new virus, named H1N1, spread quickly. Within weeks, public health agencies around the world feared a terrible pandemic (流行病) was under way. Some commentators warned of an outbreak on the scale of the 1918 Spanish flu. Worse, no vaccine(疫苗) was readily available. The only hope public health authorities had was to slow its spread. But to do that, they needed to know where it already was. In the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) required that doctors inform them of new flu cases. Yet the picture of the pandemic that showed up was always a week or two out of date. People might feel sick for days but wait before consulting a doctor. Relaying the information back to the central organizations took time, and the CDC only figured out the numbers once a week. With a rapidly spreading disease, a two-week lag is an eternity. This delay completely blinded public health agencies at the most urgent moments. Few weeks before the H1N1 virus made headlines, engineers at the Internet giant Google published a paper in Nature. It got experts’ attention but was overlooked. The authors explained how Google could “predict” the spread of the winter flu, not just nationally, but down to specific regions and even states. Since Google receives more than three billion search queries every day and saves them all, it had plenty of data to work with. Google took the 50 million most common search terms that Americans type and compared the list with CDC data on the spread of seasonal flu between 2003 and 2008. The idea was to identify areas affected by the flu virus by what people searched for on the Internet. Others had tried to do this with Internet search terms, but no one else had as much data-processing power, as Google. While the Googlers guessed that the searches might be aimed at getting flu information—typing phrases like “medicine for cough and fever”—that wasn’t the point: they didn’t know, and they designed a system that didn’t care. All their system did was look for correlations(相关性) between the frequency of certain search queries and the spread of the flu over time and space. In total, they processed 450 million different mathematical models in order to test the search terms, comparing their predictions against actual flu cases from the CDC in 2007 and 2008. And their software found a combination of 45 search terms that had a strong correlation between their prediction and the official figures nationwide. Like the CDC, they could tell where the flu had spread, but unlike the CDC they could tell it in near real time, not a week or two after the fact. Thus, when the H1N1 crisis struck in 2009, Google’s system proved to be a more useful and timely indicator than government statistics with their natural reporting lags. Public health officials were armed with valuable information. Strikingly, Google’s method is built on “big data”—the ability of society to handle information in new ways to produce useful insights or goods and services of significant value. However, ▲ . For example, in 2012 it identified a sudden rise in flu cases, but overstated the amount, perhaps because of too much media attention about the flu. Yet what is clear is that the next time a pandemic comes around, the world will have a better tool to predict and thus prevent its spread. 65. The beginning paragraph aims to _____. A. announce the discovery of a new virus B. describe how severe the disaster was C. criticize the inability of the authorities D. introduce the background information 66. The “an eternity” in Paragraph 2 refers to a period of time that is _____. A. too long to bear B. too hard to kill C. too easy to spend D. too short to use 67. Google’s processing of data to predict the H1N1 crisis does NOT include _____. A. selecting the data from its database B. checking the data with the CDC database C .ensuring the accuracy of its data D. relating the data to actual flu cases 68. Google was better than CDC at predicting the H1N1 crisis in that _____. A. Google had more data that were accurate B. Google had more data that were updated C. Google had more reports of H1N1 symptoms D. Google had more medical resources on H1N1 69. Which of the following is best suited to the blank “ ▲ ” in the last paragraph? A. it has drawn too much media attention B. it does not have as much value as expected C. it still needs to be improved as a newcomer D. it has lost its own advantages nowadays 70. The best title of the passage is probably _____. A. Big Data Finding New Virus B. Big Data Finding New Cures C. Big Data Killing New Virus D. Big Data Seeing New Trends 五、句子翻译(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分) 71. 我不想反驳你,但是近几年,加纳电影节对美国电影情有独钟。 72. 我认为这是为了更加突出电影出色的特技,而不是有助于表现电影的情节。 73. 加拿大国家电视塔坐落于多伦多市中心,通常简称为“CN塔”。 74. 澳大利亚人热爱体育,这是毫无疑问的。 75. 通过学习如何不去破坏这些遗迹,人们将能够世世代代欣赏到这一历史遗址。 六、任务型阅读(共10小题,每小题0.5分,满分5分) 阅读下面短文,根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。注意:每个空格只填一个单词。 Study in Canada Why Canada?

The heavy blow claimed her life, which aroused anger in society. The leakage of personal information is of great harm. Not only will people be frequently troubled by unwanted short messages or calls, but also people may be cheated out of money or be put in danger. Thus, the protection of personal information is of vital importance in order for common people to maintain a peaceful and safe life, as well as to protect one's own fortune. Here are the tips on how to protect one's personal information. Never click any link on phones or computers unless it can be utterly trusted. Also, avoid connecting smart phones to any untrusted WiFi in public places. Apart from the efforts of common people, the government must spare no effort to fight against criminals selling others' personal information. 听力录音原文 Text 1 M: Excuse me.

I will have to work a few extra hours to finish a report and I will swing by my house to pick up some food for the game. See you then! Text 3 M: When should we leave for the party? W: Well, the invitation says it starts at 8:00, but we should get there half an hour earlier to give them a helping hand. M: OK, but if the roads are crowded it could take about an hour to get there, so we are supposed to start at... W: Well, if so, it’s high time to start right now! Text 4 W: Hey, Tom! I’m having a birthday party for Ted at 6:00 p.m. this Saturday. I’d like you to come. We’re going to order a pizza and play some games. M: It sounds like a lot of fun. But I promised I would go shopping with Jenny Saturday night. Text 5 W: Have you seen the movie Coco? M: Yeah. W: How did you find it? M: Terrific. It can’t be better. You know, nothing’s more important than family. W: Can’t agree more. Text 6 M: Hey! That car just ran a red light and hit that truck! W: Is anyone hurt? M: I don’t know … let’s call 911. … Hello? I’d like to report a car accident near the post office on Charles Street. It looks like a man is hurt. Yes, it just happened. OK, thanks. Bye. W: What did they say? M: They’re going to send an ambulance and a police car right away. W: Good, they’re here. I hope the man is OK. M: I know. You have to be so careful when you’re driving. Text 7 W: What time is it? We’re going to be late! M: It’s a quarter after seven. We’re on time. Don’t panic. W: But I thought we had to be at the restaurant by 7:30 for the surprise party. We’ll never make it there with all this evening traffic. M: Sure we will. Rush hour is almost over. Anyway, the party starts at 8:00. But I do need help with directions. Can you call the restaurant and ask them where we park our car? W: OK, I will call them right away. Text 8 M: Hey Hana, I’ve heard that you lived in London, right? W: Yes, exactly. M: Well, I’m planning to go to London for an academic conference next month and I’m really looking forward to it. But I’m not really sure what to expect, so can you tell me a little bit, please? W: Yeah, sure. London is a very interesting place where a lot of cultures are mixed. There are lots of historical buildings, for example, Buckingham Palace and Big Ben. There is a very famous museum called the British Museum. M: That’s really good, because I’m really interested in history and I really want to see historical spots there. But is there any other thing I should try in London, for example, is there any good local British food? W: Well, England isn’t very famous for food, but it is famous because a lot of food from different countries is all gathered. There’s a very good place called the Camden Market and you can go and buy food from all over the world. M: Good. That sounds really interesting. I’m really looking forward to it. Thank you. W: You are welcome. Text 9 M: Are you enjoying the performance so far? W: Well, you must admit the clothes are beautiful and the set is wonderful, but the acting is a bit boring. What do you think? M: I think you are a bit particular. The actor in the lead role is very professional. I suppose the music could be a bit better, though. W: Do you know anyone in the play? M: Actually, the woman playing Ophelia is an old classmate of mine. W: Really? Is that why you wanted to come to the play? M: That’s only a part of it. I absolutely admire the director. I’ve seen quite a few other plays he directed. They are really wonderful. W: Look! They are weakening the lights. I think we should go back to our seats for the second half of the play. M: You are right. Text 10 Some of the greatest success stories of history have followed a word of encouragement or an act of confidence by a loved one or a trusting friend. Had it not been for a confident wife, Sophia, we might not have listed among the great names of literature the name of Nathaniel Hawthorne. When Nathaniel, a heartbroken man, went home to tell his wife that he was a failure and had been fired from his job in a customhouse, she surprised him with a shout of joy. “Now,” she said happily, “you can write your book!” “Yes,” replied the man, with little confidence, “and what shall we live on while I am writing it?” To his amazement, she opened a drawer and pulled out a large amount of money. “Where on earth did you get that?” he said in great surprise. “I have always known you were a man of genius,” she told him. “I knew that someday you would write a masterpiece. So every week, out of the money you gave me for housekeeping, I saved a little bit. So here is enough to last us for one whole year.” From her trust and confidence came one of the greatest novels of American literature, The Scarlet Letter.查看更多
