I applaud Mr. Gates. But what’s taking us so long?‎ As early as 1997, MIT (麻省理工）decided to post videos of all university lectures online, for free, for all people. But today, how many students have you met who mastered advanced mathematics or nuclear physics from an MIT online video? Unfortunately, the answer is not many.‎ The problem is the poor quality of online education websites and the experience they provide to students. Those who go to the MIT website and watch courses online are surely very smart people, but ifs not like playing a video game such as World of Warcraft. Only the most ardent students, those who are highly motivated, will devote themselves to studying these boring online videos.‎ The real question is why we aren’t spending more to develop better online education platforms. Where is the Avatar of education? Think about this. The market for Hollywood films per year is worth around 30 billion USD. Education in the world is a trillion-dollar-a-year market, hundreds of times bigger than Hollywood movies. Yet the most expensive digital learning system ever built cost well under 100 million dollars.‎ Bill Gates’ prediction is going to happen. There is no doubt about it. But it will only happen when we create high level educational content and experiences t hat engage and excite more than has ever been possible in the real world.‎ ‎24. What has Bill Gates forecast about online learning?‎ ‎ A. It will concentrate on physics lectures.‎ ‎ B. It will completely replace real universities.‎ ‎ C. It will help to make universities more successful.‎ ‎ D. It will play an increasingly important role in education.‎ ‎25. What does the underlined word “ardent” in Paragraph 3 mean?.‎ ‎ A. Creative.     B. Enthusiastic.     C. Well-behaved.       D. Experienced.‎ ‎26. According to the author, what is holding back the popularity of online learning?‎ ‎ A. The lack of lectures available online.‎ ‎ B. The high cost of access to the websites.‎ ‎ C. The low standard of educational websites.‎ ‎ D. The competition with online computer games.‎ ‎27. Why does the author mention Hollywood?‎ ‎ A. To show that Hollywood produces many successful movies.‎ ‎ B. To prove that education is more profitable than entertainment.‎ ‎ C. To argue that movie directors should produce educational content.‎ ‎ D. To urge that more money be spent developing educational websites.‎ C Persuasion is the art of convincing someone to agree with you. According to the ancient Greeks, there are three basic tools of persuasion : ethos, pathos, and logos.‎ Ethos is a speakers way of convincing the audience that she is trustworthy, honest and reliable. One common way a speaker can develop ethos is by explaining how much experience or education she has in the field. After all, you’re more likely to listen to advice about how to take care of your teeth from a dentist than a fireman. A speaker can also create ethos by convincing the audience that she is a good person. If an audience cannot trust you, you will not be able to persuade them.‎ Pathos is a speaker’s way of connecting with an audience’s emotions. For example, a politician who is trying to convince an audience to vote for him might say that he alone can save the country from a terrible war. These words are intended to fill the audience with fear, thus making them support him. Similarly, an animal charity might show an audience pictures of injured dogs and cats, to make the viewers feel pity. If the audience feels bad for the animals, they will be more likely to donate money.‎ Logos is the use of facts, statistics, or other evidence to support your argument. An audience will be more likely to believe you if you have convincing data to back up your claims. Presenting this evidence is much more persuasive than simply saying “believe me”. ‎ Although ethos, pathos, and logos all have their strengths, they are often most effective when used together. Indeed, most speakers use a combination of ethos, pathos, and logos to persuade their audiences. So, the next time you listen to a speech, watch a commercial, or listen to a friend try to convince you to lend him some money, be on the lookout for these ancient Greek tools of persuasion.‎ ‎28. Why does the author say persuasion is an art?‎ ‎ A. They both entertain the audience.‎ ‎ B. They both require great skill to achieve.‎ ‎ C. They both demand full attention from the audience.‎ ‎ D. They were both common topics of ancient Greek writers.‎ ‎29. How is a speaker able to show her ethos to the audience?‎ ‎ A. By expressing her sympathy with the audience.‎ ‎ B. By telling the audience about her personal preference.‎ ‎ C. By using beautiful language to make her statements attractive.‎ ‎ D. By showing her knowledge and experience relating to the topic. .‎ ‎30. What can we learn about the three aspects of persuasion?‎ ‎ A. Ethos is the most important aspect of persuasion.‎ ‎ B. Each aspect has a different effect on the audience.‎ ‎ C. Honesty is the key to making your arguments believable.‎ ‎ D. Political leaders mostly use pathos to persuade their audience.‎ ‎31. An advertisement for washing powder which claims that many scientific tests show that our powder kills 95% of all bacteria” is mainly using _________. ‎ ‎ A. ethos       B. pathos       C. logos       D. a combination of all three D About 15 years ago, I taught A Problem from Hell, a book on genocides (大屠杀), to a group of 18- and 19-year-olds in a mid-west university in the US. In my class there was a young man who had spent his boyhood in Bosnia as NATO bombed his hometown. My other students, amazed by his connection to the genocide in the textbook, asked him what it was like to grow up in a war-zone. “A pretty normal childhood as you had here,” he said. “We played cards inside a lot, and when there was no bombing we kicked a ball in the street.”‎ In the past few years, the world has seen a rapid increase in refugees (难民), with the number hitting 60 million. Viet Thanh Nguyen’s story collection The Refugees reminds us that literature is news that stays news. Set in the Vietnamese communities in California as well as in Vietnam, the stories do not aim to surprise us with new twists or shock us with wonderful details, as war and refugee stories could easily choose to do. Rather, like the young man from Bosnia, Nguyen’s characters tell these stories because they are the only ones known to them.‎ Included in the collection are two of the most touching pieces, both about siblings (兄弟或姊妹) separated by geography and history. In “Black-Eyed Women”, the narrator (讲述人), a young Vietnamese woman, is visited by the ghost of her elder brother, who died young on the boat when the family took flight from the war. The tale of love and loss, violence and violation, may not be unfamiliar to the reader, but the determination of the brother’s ghost (he has taken decades to swim across the Pacific to reach America) and the sister’s abandoning herself to a half death make the story lasting.‎ As an echo, the closing story, “Fatherland”, explores a more complex situation between two siblings. The narrator, a young Vietnamese woman, meets her half-sister, visiting from the US for the first time. Adding to the tension is the fact that her father has named the narrator and her siblings after his first set of children. Two sisters, one American and one Vietnamese, yet named the same by the father – it may sound strange, but isn’t it the fate many refugees have to face: a life left behind, that could have been theirs; and a life in an adopted country. ‎ The theme of doubleness – choice and inevitability (不可避免性), home and homelessness, starting afresh and being stuck – is present not only in the stories ‎ of Vietnamese refugees, but also of those who have become refugees from their own homes and loved ones. “Smiling at your relatives never got you very far, but smiling at strangers and acquaintances sometimes did.” So a pilot, who fought in the Vietnam war and is now revisiting the country for the first time, thinks while waving at the locals from a tour bus. He’s distant from his daughter, just as a Mexican American in the collection is distant from his wife, or a young man from Hong Kong is distant from his father. ‎ The collection is full of refugees, whether from external or from a deeper, more internal conflict between even those who are closest to each other. With anger but not despair, with reconciliation (和解) but not unrealistic hope, and with genuine humour that is not used to insult anyone, Nguyen has breathed life into many unforgettable characters.‎ ‎32. The first paragraph is intended to ______.‎ ‎ A. describe the boring life of war victims ‎ ‎ B. appeal to the readers to help war victims ‎ C. criticize NATO’s killing of innocent people ‎ ‎ D. introduce the story collection The Refugees ‎33. Which of the following about The Refugees is True?‎ ‎ A. It tells the news in a literary form.‎ ‎ B. It is full of surprising twists and plots.‎ ‎ C. The author experiences the stories himself.‎ ‎ D. Its characters narrate their own stories.‎ ‎34. We can infer from Paragraph 5 that _____. ‎ ‎ A. relatives hate their loved ones for being left behind ‎ ‎ B. separation from loved ones tends to make them distant ‎ ‎ C. people become refugees due to their double character ‎ D. smiling is a good way to keep loved ones together ‎35. Which of the following is the theme of The Refugees？‎ ‎ A. Despair, suffering, and regret. B. Anger, humour and hope.‎ ‎ C. Sympathy, regret, and reconciliation. D. Dream, hope, and expectation.‎ 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。‎ Your brain controls everything you do.

My sister asked me to look after my two nieces for a couple of hours while she went to the doctor’s. They’re both nine years old, they’re twins. I was a bit tired but I know they love watching films, so on my way to the house I went to the video shop and rented a Disney classic. I’d seen it myself 20 years ago when I was their age, so I was sure they’d enjoy it, and I was right. My nieces love dogs and as the film is about two dogs who fall in love, they sat in front of the TV for over an hour without moving! It’s a complicated love story because one of the dogs lives in the rich part of town and is very carefully looked after and has everything a dog could want, but the other is a street dog who lives on the poor side of town and has nothing.‎ So it’s a bit like Romeo and Juliet! But of course it’s a Disney film, so although there are some sad moments when we all cried, there’s a happy ending. Everybody who’s seen the film always remembers the scene when the two dogs are eating a plate of spaghetti which ends in a kiss!‎ ‎ ‎
