BKLYN House Hotel
This hotel features works by Brooklyn artists. The 116 rooms are good value and Manhattan is only 20 minutes away by taxi or subway. The immediate surroundings feel urban—the hotel is by a high-rise public housing project while the nearest commercial street is under elevated (高的) subway tracks—but Bushwick’s best bars and cafes/restaurants are nearby.
Doubles from $99, room only. Tel: 718 388 4433
Archer Hotel
Visitors eager to stay in the heart of Manhattan should try one of the bargain-priced rooms at this hotel. Rates differ from great value to expensive; some start from as low as $179 a night (if prepaying in full). Rooms are small but tasteful, with nice touches such as exposed brick. Some have close-up views of the Empire State Building.
Doubles from $199, room only. Tel: 212 719 4100
CitizenM New York Times Square
This is the first US location for a Netherlands-based concept hotel chain—CitizenM. The hotel features self check-in at its 230 little but comfortable rooms via touch screen “MoodPads”. There’s a rooftop bar, a 24-hour grab-and-go cafeteria and an area with public iMac workspaces. Although New Yorkers avoid nearby Times Square, all the lights, cameras and action can make it a fun tourist experience.

A decade ago, at the end of my first semester teaching at Captain, my student Jack stopped by for office hours. He sat down and burst into tears. My mind started cycling through a list of events that could make a college junior cry: His girlfriend had broken up with him; he had been accused of cheating in exams; he forgot to turn in papers before the deadline. “I just got my first A minus,” he said.
Year after year, I watch in depression as students are crazy about getting straight A’s. Some sacrifice their health; a few have even tried to charge their school after failure. They believe top marks are a ticket to elite graduate schools and rewarding job opportunities. I was one of them. I started college with the goal of graduating with a GPA of 4.0. It would be a reflection of my brainpower and willpower, showing that I had the right things to succeed. But I was wrong.
The evidence is clear: Across industries, research shows that the association between grades and job performance is modest in the first year after college and insignificant within a handful of years. For example, at Microsoft, once employees are two or three years out of college, their grades have nothing to do with their performance. (Of course, it must be said that if you got D’s, you probably wouldn’t end up at Microsoft.)
Academic grades rarely assess qualities like creativity, leadership and teamwork skills, or social, emotional and political intelligence. Yes, straight A students master large amounts of information and reproduce it in exams. But career success is rarely about finding the right solution to a problem—it’s more about finding the right problem to solve. This might explain why Steve Jobs finished high school with a GPA of 2.65, and Martin Luther King Jr. got only one A in his four years at Morehouse.
24. Why did Jack feel sad
A. His girlfriend abandoned him B. He was caught cheating in exams.
C. He failed to get straight A’s. D. He didn’t hand in his paper in time.
25. What did the author once believe
A. It was wrong to care too much about marks.
B. Failure was schools’ fault.
C. Marks didn’t reflect willpower and brainpower.
D. Top marks meant well-paid job offers.
26. Why are the employees at Microsoft mentioned
A. To indicate academic performance is important.
B. To stress the company values employees with top marks.
C. To introduce successful examples in the technology industry.
D. To show academic excellence isn’t a strong predictor of career performance.
27. What should people focus more on to succeed
A. How to solve a problem. B. What problem to be solved.
C. How to be a creative leader. D. What to do with detailed information.
C
A couple of years ago, Ashok Goel was overwhelmed by the number of questions his students were asking in his course on artificial intelligence. Goel teaches computer science at Georgia Tech, sometimes to large classes, where students can ask thousands of questions online in a discussion forum. Professor Goel already had eight teaching assistants, but that wasn’t enough to deal with the increasing number of daily questions from students.
When students feel confused and reach out with questions that go unanswered, their motivation to continue begins to fade. Professor Goel decided to do something to improve this situation and his solution was to create a virtual assistant named Jill Watson, which is based on the IBM Watson platform.
Goel and his team developed several versions of Jill Watson before releasing her to the online forums. At first, the virtual assistant wasn’t too great. But Goel and his team sourced the online discussion forum to find all the 40,000 questions that had ever been asked since the class was launched. Then they began to feed Jill with the questions and answers. After some adjustments and enough time, Jill was able to answer the students’ questions correctly 97% of the time. The virtual assistant became so advanced and realistic that the students didn’t know she was a computer. The students, who were studying artificial intelligence, were interacting with the virtual assistant and couldn’t tell it apart from a real human being. Goel didn’t inform them about Jill’s true identity until April 26. The students were actually very positive about the experience.
The goal of Professor Goel’s virtual assistant next year is to take over answering 40% of all the questions presented by students on the online forum. The name Jill Watson will, of course, change to something else next semester. Professor Goel has a rosy outlook on the future of artificial intelligence, believing it will be widely applied.
28. What did Professor Goel find in the online course
A. The course was too difficult for students.
B. Most students dropped out of his course.
C. Students’ questions were too many to handle.
D. Assistants’ capacity made students unsatisfied.
29. What can be inferred about Jill Watson
A. She was easily identified as an AI.
B. She turned out to be a great success.
C. She was released online as the first version.
D. She could answer all the questions correctly.
30. Which is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “rosy” in Paragraph 4
A. Hopeful. B. Sensitive. C. Adventurous. D. Cautious.
31. What is the main idea of the text
A. An online computer course benefits students.
B. An Al team develops online discussion forums.
C. A knowledgeable Al assists in online education.
D. A new outlook promises online Al development.
D
We live in a technological society where most goods are mass-produced by unskilled labor. Because of this, most people think that craft (手艺) no longer exists.
One of the ways these people wrongly support their view is by pointing to 100-year-old homes which are still solid, and arguing that it is the craftsmanship that is responsible for their durability (持久性). “Homes in those days were well-built,” they say. No doubt these homes were well-built, but what these people have done is mix up the quality of material used in the house with the quality of the craftsmanship.
Homes today could be built to last just as long as those old homes if people were willing or able to pay the price. For example, more people can no longer afford solid oak stairways, although they were once fairly common in older homes. Nor can they afford the high labor cost of employing a carpenter to build the stairway. Yet if someone can pay the high cost, there are still plenty of carpenters around able to make those stairways. And not only would these carpenters know how to build them, they would probably do a better job than carpenters of old.
One thing the modern carpenter has which enables him to do a better job is much more advanced tools. Such tools as laser beams and power planes help them lay out a house better and make more precision cuts (精确切割) on the wood. Also, it is not uncommon any more to find carpenters with college degrees and carpenters with a solid knowledge of mathematics, which would enable them to deal with more difficult house designs.
The problem of modem quality, then, really boils down to the problem of material, for the modern carpenter is just as able to produce craftsmanship as the carpenter of fifty years ago, but only if given proper material.
32. Compared to the carpenters in the past, modern carpenters are ________.
A. more successful B. more learned C. more imaginative D. more hardworking
33. What does the underlined word “they” (paragraph 2) refer to
A. Carpenters who are fond of oak stairways.
B. Carpenters who have college degrees.
C. People who think highly of carpenters of old.
D. People who think that modern material is of low quality.
34. What does the third paragraph mainly discuss
A. People in the past preferred to use oak to build stairways.
B. It is now expensive to employ a carpenter.
C. Modern houses last as long as the old one.
D. Good carpenters still exist in modern times.
35. What would be the best title for the text
A. Is Craft Dead B. Craft, Back to life
C. History of craftsmanship. D. Carpenters Today and Yesterday.
七选五（共5个小题，每小题2.5分）
Every year in late April, students at Renmin University of China become the subjects of admiration and jealousy of their peers on other campuses in Beijing.
Why 36 It has been a unique tradition of Renmin University for a decade.
Experts say the spring break is not just for students to enjoy a few days off, but for them to gain new experiences beyond the campus walls.
Push them out
The traditional Chinese belief of the exploration of knowledge and truth emphasizes “reading 10,000 books and travelling 10,000 miles”. 37 But while Chinese universities have the tradition of spring outings, what’s the benefit of making spring break an institution
Qin Jianguo, from Shenzhen University, thinks the idea of the spring break in some universities in China comes from the intention of pushing students out of the ivory tower to experience more diversity in their lives. He said. “A week traveling is a very different experience to a one-or two-day outing. When put out in an unfamiliar context, students are expected to acquire the spirit of teamwork and compromise. 38 ”
Diverse approaches
Many countries have similar vacations in the middle of the semester for students to do things out of their own interest. Instead of partying like their US counterparts, many Japanese students choose to work as interns or engage in study-related projects.
39 Pan Yingzhao, 22, majoring in finance at Renmin University of China, participated in a social project on the theme of “The Chinese Dream”. She and her teammates interviewed people on the street to see how they understood “The Chinese Dream”.
40
Apart from Renmin University, only a few other universities, have a spring break for their students. The concept in China is still far from the culture and norms built around it in the US.
Wei Xiang, a professor of Beijing International Studies University, said that the spring break is a good experiment for universities to make study schedules smoother in order to give students more options to arrange their own leisure and study activities.
A. Not a legend
B. Not a trend yet
C. As for Chinese students, many tend to do volunteer work.
D. They have to learn survival and communication skills as well.
E. It does indicate the importance of experience as much as theory.
F. Because they get a week off in the middle of tern, the so-called spring break.
G. To sum up, a spring break helps students expand their horizons and improve ability.

Dear Jenny,
I visited the Chinese painting exhibition staged by the Students’ Union in the school art gallery yesterday. It’s so amazing that I’d like to recommend it to you.
Walking through the corridors, I was stunned by the strength and dexterity (skillfulness) the painters displayed in creating a rich diversity of themes in the pictures. Besides, red seal marks, poems in calligraphic form and delicate wooden frames all combined add to the breathtaking elegance of the paintings, whose beauty has inspired me to look at the world around from a whole new perspective.
The exhibition lasts for one month. For those who’re interested in the traditional Chinese paintings, you simply can’t miss it. (92 words)
Yours,
Li Hua

W: It’s difficult to learn to think in English in our daily life. But today I’ll give you a few steps to solve it. Number one is word identification (识别). If you identify a word that you don’t know in English, you’re going to need to note it down, but not to write it down in your own language. I want you to describe it by using the language that you do already have. At the end of the day, look at your new word list, trying to work out what all of these things are. Number two is silent narration. Narrate what you are doing, what is happening around you. It means you’re going to start needing to use verbs. Your teacher or language partner can also help you with confusing things. Next step is daily correction. You need correction ideally every single day. Then it’s self-conversation. This is going to help you practice asking questions and giving replies. It’s training you to go through the motions of having a conversation in another language. And last step is actually immersion (沉浸) or near immersion. What you need to do is create an English environment that looks real. When you can think of a word in the language you’re learning instead of your own language, it really means you’re getting somewhere.
