Does your school have any problems with discipline? What happens when students step out of line? Here are some examples of bad behaviour:
◎Playing truant(missing school without permission from parents).
◎Stealing, smoking, hitting, swearing(说脏话), running, kissing.
◎Cheating in exams.
◎Calling a teacher or another pupil bad names.
◎Not doing homework.
◎Not listening or not paying attention in lessons.
◎Wearing unsuitable clothes.
Here are some of the ways that UK school children can be punished:
Exclusion:a pupil is asked to leave the school and not come back. The pupil has to find a new school or a different method of education.
Suspension:a pupil cannot enter the building or attend lessons until the school has a meeting about their situation. Suspension can last from one to 45 days. The pupil is usually given work to do at home with a special teacher.
Detention:a pupil is asked to stay after school and work for 30-60 minutes before they Can leave.
Lines:a pupil has to write a sentence many times(e.g.100 or more) on a sheet of paper, e.g. “I must not shout in class”.
Freya MacDonald, a 15-year-old pupil from Scotland, made the news when she refused to accept her school’s punishment. Her family says that she was given 11 detentions for trivial things in class and coming into school through a fire door.
Freya says that repeated detentions disrupted her fight to an education under Scottish law and made it difficult for her to learn. She refused to return until the school respected her civil rights. She wants the headmaster and her teachers to sign a letter to promise this. Hundreds of schools in Scotland were told not to use detention as a punishment because of her legal action.
Many UK schools now give parents a home-school contract, explaining their discipline and rules. Parents must sign this document to agree that they accept the school’s rules and discipline and that they are responsible for their child’s behaviour.
24. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. Some examples of bad behaviour in school.
B. Common discipline and rules in UK schools.
C. How UK schools discipline and punish students.
D. What UK parents think of school punishment.
25. What do we know about suspension in UK schools?
A. It is the most serious punishment for students.
B. A pupil is not permitted to come back to school.
C. It forces students to write a critical self-review.
D. A pupil can come back within one and half a month.
26. What did Freya’s legal action result in?
A. She didn’t want to study at all.
B. Many schools cancelled detention to punish students.
C. She didn’t step out of line after that.
D. Teachers signed a letter to respect her civil rights.
27. Why do many UK schools sign a contract with parents?
A. To make it easy for students to learn.
B. To help parents know about school rules.
C. To share responsibility for their child’s actions.
D. To avoid their own responsibility for education.

Among astronomers, women of color face more harassment(侵扰) than any other group, according to a new study published on Monday.
The online survey of 474 astronomers and planetary scientists found that 28% of the women of color who responded reported feeling unsafe in their workplace due to their race, and that about 40% reported feeling unsafe because of their gender(性别). It also showed that 18% of women of color — as well as 12% of white women — said they’d skipped at least one class, meeting, fieldwork opportunity, or professional event because they were worried about their safety.
“This isn’t something anyone can point to and say,” Kathryn Clancy, lead author of the paper, told BuzzFeed News. “These are all current issues that women of color are facing right now. They’re feeling unsafe today. They’re skipping professional events today.”
“The study really reinforces(使更强烈) a lot of what the literature already tells us — that women of color are more likely to experience multiple forms of harassment and feel more strongly the impact of a very unfriendly or aggressive work environment in science,” Zuleyka Zevallos, a sociologist at Swinburne University of Technology in Australia, told BuzzFeed News.
The study also outlined several approaches to addressing the problem, including creating a set of standards of behavior, diversity and cultural awareness training, and hiring many more women of color.
Clancy also stressed that while professional societies could do a lot to foster culture change and make demands on their memberships, universities need to have swifter consequences for discrimination, and make it easier for victims to discuss these issues both formally and informally. “It’s upsetting to me in a lot of ways that so many women of color haven’t been listened to in the last several decades,” Clancy said. “We think the science is going to be different than other workplaces — we just have to stop living in that fantasy.”
28.What makes some women of color miss the fieldwork opportunity?
A. Their resistance to culture change. B. The unfriendly work environment.
C. Their lack of professional skills. D. Their concern about safety.
29.What can be done to reduce harassment women of color face?
A. Offering them more job opportunities.
B. Introducing relative laws to protect their rights.
C. Developing their cultural awareness in the workplace.
D. Making people realize the importance of cultural diversity.
30.What message is conveyed in the last paragraph?
A. People need to treat things with reason.
B. Women of color have no advantage in science.
C. Universities should treat women of color equally.
D. Gender discrimination is very common in society.
31.What is the passage mainly about?
A. How societies continue to fail women of color.
B. Many women of color feel unsafe working in science.
C. Diverse data shows people need to focus on women of color.
D. Why women of color in science are few and far between.
D
Monkeys seem to have a way with numbers.
A team of researchers trained three Rhesus monkeys to associate 26 clearly different symbols consisting of numbers and selective letters with 0-25 drops of water or juice as a reward. The researchers then tested how the monkeys combined—or added—the symbols to get the reward.
Here's how Harvard Medical School scientist Margaret Livingstone, who led the team, described the experiment: In their cages the monkeys were provided with touch screens. On one part of the screen, a symbol would appear, and on the other side two symbols inside a circle were shown. For example, the number 7 would flash on one side of the screen and the other end would have 9 and 8. If the monkeys touched the left side of the screen they would be rewarded with seven drops of water or juice; if they went for the circle, they would be rewarded with the sum of the numbers—17 in this example.
After running hundreds of tests, the researchers noted that the monkeys would go for the higher values more than half the time, indicating that they were performing a calculation, not just memorizing the value of each combination.
When the team examined the results of the experiment more closely, they noticed that the monkeys tended to underestimate(低估) a sum compared with a single symbol when the two were close in value—sometimes choosing, for example, a 13 over the sum of 8 and 6. The underestimation was systematic: When adding two numbers, the monkeys always paid attention to the larger of the two, and then added only a fraction(小部分) of the smaller number to it.
“This indicates that there is a certain way quantity is represented in their brains,” Dr. Livingstone says. “But in this experiment what they're doing is paying more attention to the big number than the little one.”
32. What did the researchers do to the monkeys before testing them?
A. They fed them. B. They named them.
C. They trained them. D. They measured them.
33. How did the monkeys get their reward in the experiment?
A. By drawing a circle. B. By touching a screen.
C. By watching videos. D. By mixing two drinks.
34. What did Livingstone's team find about the monkeys?
A. They could perform basic addition. B. They could understand simple words.
C. They could memorize numbers easily. D. They could hold their attention for long.
35. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A. Entertainment. B. Health. C. Education. D. Science.

How to run international meetings
As more of us do business across cultures, it's best to prepare ahead of time before heading to the meeting table. Here are four rules for different countries.
Stick to the schedule.
Where: Germany, Austria, Japan
We've all been to meetings that have a loose agenda, if any at all. They don't start on time and they seem to repeat. 36 Japanese are more likely to create a detailed agenda and pass out supporting documents several days before a meeting. 37 Meetings that run long in Germany are often taken to mean that the parties are not communicating efficiently.
38
Where: China, Malaysia, Singapore
Debating a topic can go against the traditional Chinese concept of “saving face”, which means avoiding any mistakes or actions that could bring embarrassment. Laughing at even an obviously amusing answer or pointing out a potential mistake can spoil the entire meeting.
Enjoy the interruptions.
Where: Italy, France, Spain
When Pascal Soboll meets with clients in Italy or Spain, he's no longer offended if they leave early or arrive late. Rather than attend the entire three hour meeting, he has learned that his colleagues there—and in some parts of France—attend based on their own timetable.
39 Rather than expect people to sit through his entire presentation, he makes it easier for them to turn up as needed.
Please, no small talk.
Where: Finland, Sweden
In places like Finland and Sweden, where non meeting related discussions like chat about the weather can be regarded as a way to be off a formally set agenda and as a waste of other people's time.
In some countries, including Finland, there are long pauses in the conversation. 40 These breaks are used as a way to process what the other person is saying without interrupting.
A.Not so in these countries.
B.Germans and Austrians are similar.
C.Don't even think about a brainstorm.
D.There's often no way to tell how things are going.
E.Don't try to fill them, though, with small talk or anything else.
F.What do the long silences, idle chit chat and serious faces really mean in context?
G.For Soboll, that means changing his own German based expectations of client behaviour.

As is known, the United Kingdom consists four countries: England, Scotland, Wales plus Northern Ireland. However, about four hundreds years ago, Scotland tried to break away from English influence. The Scots wanted to attack England and clarify that France should take a place of England as their closest friend. England, besides, was unhappy when the relationship between the two countries broke down. Queen Elizabeth I was unwillingly to be left out of any decisions to do with Scotland. Therefore, she was divided the Scottish lords into several groups so that they would quarrel with each other instead of attack England.
This arrangement worked well until 1603 when Queen Elizabeth I died. As King James of Scotland was his only relative, he became King of Scotland and England, which made everybody delightful.

Dear Mr Wilson,
Thank you for the wonderful service in your hotel and your advice on sightseeing around London. I’m writing to see if I could ask you a favor.
I realized when I got home that I had left my glasses behind. They have gold frames, and are in a black case, which has my name and address written on the inside. I think I must have left them on the bedside table on the day I left. If you manage to find my glasses, could you please post them to my home address? Of course, I will pay for the postage.
Please contact me if you have any problems with this matter, and once again, I would like to thank you for all your help.
Yours Sincerely,
Li Hua

A
Researchers at Oxford University say they have developed a new method that could predict heart attacks years before they happen. They use mathematical algorithms(演算法) to examine CT images of a patient's heart. One report on their study has been published in the medical journal The Lancet.
Most heart attacks result from a build-up of fatty tissue inside arteries(动脉) that carry blood from the heart to other areas of the body. Too much buildup can block this flow of blood and cause a heart attack. Currently, doctors use CT scans to learn when a sticky substance called plaque has already built up inside an artery. The new technology is designed to predict which arteries are at risk for future buildup. How much fat is present around heart arteries also can be measured. That fat changes when an artery becomes inflamed(发炎), serving as an early warning system for heart attacks.
Charalambos Antoniades, a professor of cardiovascula(心血管) medicine at Oxford University, believes the research shows this method could be very effective in getting patients to take early steps to prevent future problems.
“Say your arteries are inflamed and a narrowing will be developed five years down the line. So maybe you can start preventive measures to avoid this formation of plaques,” he said. “If you are able to identify inflammation in the arteries of the heart, then you can say which arteries will cause heart attacks.”
Antoniades added that researchers had yet to estimate exactly how many heart attacks could be prevented. But he said he believes the technique could help identify between 20 to 30 percent of people at risk of having one.
He added that the new technology will make such predictions easier because it works together with existing CT technology.
21. You can identify which arteries will cause heart attacks by .
A. locating where the inflamed arteries are
B. seeing a cardiovascular doctor
C. developing a new method to predict it
D. measuring how much fat is built up
22. This passage is probably from a .
A. medical textbook B. travel brochure
C. graduation paper D. science journal
23. What’s Artoniades’ attitude towards the new method?
A. Tolerant. B. Defensive. C. Critical. D. Favorable.

More than nine out of 10 young people expose themselves to the blue light from smartphones before bed, causing problems with sleep. A new survey also shows more than 28 million people in the UK regularly get no more than seven hours sleep a night. Prof Richard Wiseman, who commissioned the YouGov poll described the findings as “extremely worrying”. Of the 2,149 adults questioned, 78% said they used electronic devices before going to bed. This rose to 91% among the 18 to 24-year-olds questioned in the survey.
Getting less than seven hours sleep a night is below the recommended guidelines, and is associated with a range of problems, including an increased risk of weight gain, heart attacks, diabetes and cancer. “The blue light from these devices suppresses(压制) the production of the sleep-inducing hormone melatonin, so it's important to avoid them before bed time,” said Prof Richard Wiseman, from the University of Hertfordshire.
Everyone needs different amounts of sleep, but adults are generally thought to require a minimum of seven to eight hours a night. Teenagers are recommended to get more, about nine hours. The proportion(比例) of people thought to be getting too little sleep had risen by a fifth since a “bedroom poll” conducted last year by the National Sleep Foundation.
Last week revealed opticians were warning that overuse of smartphones may be increasing people's risk of eye damage. Optician Andy Hepworth said: “Blue violet light is potentially harmful to the back of your eyes.” So over a long period of time it can damage your eyes. When you're looking at a smart phone, the light peaking out of that is blue violet. The news came as a survey of 2,000 people suggests under-25s check their phones 32 times a day.
24.The purpose of the passage is to ______.
A.stress that people don’t use smartphones. B.remind people of enough sleep.
C.ask people not sleep too much. D.tell people not to use smartphoness before bed
25.Which of the following statements is TURE according to the passage?
A.According to a new survey, more than 28 million people in the UK get more than seven hours sleep a night.
B.More than 90% young people expose themselves to the blue light from smartphones before bed.
C.Of the 2,149 adults questioned, 91% said they used electronic devices before going to bed.
D.The news came as a survey of 2,000 people suggests under-25s check their phones 30 times a day.
26.According to what Andy Hepworth said, overuse of smartphones may be increasing people's risk of __________.
A.weight gain B.cancer C.eye damage D.heart attacks
27.Teenagers are generally thought to get sleep of _________ a night.
A.about 9 hours B.7-8 hours C.less than 7 hours D.more than 10 hours

Foreign visitors to the UK might be disappointed when they learn that not everyone there speaks like Harry Potter and his friends. Usually, there’s an assumption by many non-Brits that everyone in Britain speaks with what’s known as a Received Pronunciation (RP,标准发音) accent, also called “the Queen’s English”. However, while many people do talk this way, most Britons speak in their own regional accents.
Scouse, Glaswegian and Black Country — from Liverpool, Glasgow and the West Midlands — are just three of the countless non-RP accents that British people speak with. There are even differences in accents between towns or cities just 30 kilometers apart. What is even more disappointing is that not speaking in a RP accent may mean a British person is judged and even treated differently in their everyday life.
In a 2015 study by The University of South Wales, videos of people reading a passage in three different UK accents were shown to a second group of people. The group then rated how intelligent they thought the readers sounded. The lowest-rated accent was Brummie, native to people from Birmingham, a city whose accent is considered working class.
However, there is no need to be disappointed though you are not speaking in an RP accent. In fact, doing the opposite may even give you strength.
Kong Seong-jae, 25, is an internet celebrity from Seoul. After studying in the UK, he picked up several regional accents. He’s now famous for his online videos, where he shows off the various accents he’s learned. “British people usually get really excited when I use some of their local dialect words, and they become much friendlier. I think it makes a bit of bond between local people and foreigners to speak in their local accent,” he said.
So if you’re working on perfecting your British accent, try to speak like someone from Liverpool, Glasgow or Birmingham. You may not sound like Harry Potter, but you are likely to make more friends.
28. What can we infer from paragraph 1?
A. Only “the queen’s English” is accepted in the UK.
B. Non-Brits usually hold that all Britons speak in a RP accent.
C. Foreign visitors are disappointed at their own spoken English.
D. Any Received Pronunciation around the world is also called “the Queen’s English”.
29. What do people think of the Brummie accent?
A. Closest to the RP accent. B. Spoken by people of lower class.
C. Smart and easy to understand. D. Favored by foreign visitors to the UK.
30. What does the underlined phrase “doing the opposite” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Speaking in regional accents. B. Speaking in a RP accent.
C. Speaking the Brummie accent. D. Speaking like Harry Potter.
31. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How much British people value the RP accent.
B. A comparison between different British accents.
C. The impact of regional accents on people’s lives.
D. A study about the most intelligent accent in Britain.
D
“IF ALIENS are so likely, why have we never seen any?” That is the Fermi Paradox(悖论) — named after Enrico Fermi, a physicist who posed it in 1950.
Fermi's argument ran as follows. The laws of nature supported the appearance of intelligent life on Earth. Those laws are the same throughout the universe. The universe contains zillions of stars and planets. So, even if life is unlikely to arise on any particular astronomical body, the sheer abundance of creation suggests the night sky should be full of alien civilizations. Fermi wondered why aliens had never visited the earth. Today, the paradox is more usually cast in light of the inability of radio-telescope searches to detect the equivalent(相等的) of the radio waves that leak from Earth into the universe, and have done for the past century.
Thinking up answers to this apparent contradiction has become something of a scientific parlour(客厅) game. Perhaps life is really very unlikely. Perhaps the priests are right: human beings were put on Earth by some creator God for His own unknown purposes, and the rest of the universe is merely background scenery. Perhaps there are plenty of aliens, but they have decided that discretion is a safer bet than gathering together. Or perhaps galactic(银河的) society avoids communicating with Earth specifically. One frightening idea is that technological civilizations destroy themselves before they can make their presence known. They might blow themselves up after inventing nuclear weapons (an invention that, on Earth, Fermi had been part of), or cook themselves to death by over-burning fossil fuels.
In a paper published last month on arXiv, an online repository(文献库), a group of three astronomers at Pennsylvania State University have analyzed the history of alien hunting and come to a different conclusion. In effect, they reject one of the paradox' s main theory. Astronomers have seen no sign of aliens, argue Jason Wright and his colleagues, because they have not been looking hard enough.
32. What is the Fermi Paradox?
A. The law of universe supported the appearance of aliens but we never see any.
B. A theory about whether aliens exist on the earth and why we can't see them.
C. Fermi thought that aliens never existed because it was completely a paradox.
D. Fermi concluded that aliens did exist but they could not be seen by humans.
33. What can we conclude from the second paragraph?
A. The universe doesn't provide the abundance of creation of life.
B. Fermi thought aliens never visited the earth in the history of human.
C. The inability of radio-telescope may result in the failure of finding aliens.
D. The civilizations on the earth have been detected by aliens in the universe.
34. What does the word underlined in the third paragraph mean?
A. Getting together.
B. Fighting each other.
C. Hating each other.
D. Living separately.
35. How do Jason Wright and his colleagues find the Fermi Paradox?
A. They firmly believe that it is out of date.
B. They actually doubt the base of the paradox.
C. They want to prove that it is completely right.
D. They conclude that aliens actually never exist.

A new study suggests that the timing of a wound affects the speed at which it heals(痊愈). Wounds suffered during the day heal around 60 percent faster than those at night.
The study showed how the bodies circadian rhythm(昼夜节律) controlled the healing of wounds. _____36_____ It tells our bodies when to wake up, eat and sleep in a circle — a series of activities that repeat themselves day after day. _____37_____
In the study, researchers found that skin cells moved faster to repair wounds suffered during the day. Their findings were published in the journal Science Translational Medicine.
The researchers examined cells, mice, and burn injury databases. _____38_____
Night-time burns — burns suffered between 8 o’clock at night and 8 o’clock the next morning — were 95 percent healed after an average of 28 days.
But after an average of 17 days, daytime burns — burns suffered between 8 o’clock in the morning and 8 at night — were 95 percent healed. _____39_____
Wounds are very costly to treat. _____40_____ In Britain’s National Health Services, for example, such services cost around $6.56 billion per year. Experts say the high costs result, in part, from a lack of drugs that speed up the closure of wounds.
A. Each cycle lasts about 24 hours.
B. The circadian rhythm is like a clock or timer.
C. Specifically, their investigation found the following information:
D. The new study's findings could help scientists develop better drugs.
E. In other words, nighttime injuries took an average of 11 days longer to heal.
F. Worldwide, billions of dollars are spent every year on wound-treatment services.
G. That's what a group of researchers from a university in Canada recently published.

“Whoa! What are you doing?” I asked. I had just walked into my daughter’s room as she was 41 a science project. Normally, I would have been pleased at such a(n) 42 . But this time, her project involved much sand. 43 she’d put some plastic under her work area, it wasn’t nearly enough. The sand was 44 all over our newly renovated(整修的) floor.
My daughter immediately felt my displeasure and began to 45 herself. “I used plastic!” she responded angrily. I responded more 46 , “But the sand is getting all over!”
“Where else am I supposed to do it?” she 47 .
Why won’t she admit when she has done something 48 ? I felt my 49 , thinking of the future: What would her life look like if she couldn’t admit her mistakes?
My fear translated into more anger, this time about how 50 it was for her to admit mistakes. We had a 51 . She said something that I felt disrespectful to me and I 52 my voice. Both of us ended up 53 terrible. I wished this 54 happened before.
So I thought that I needed a good 55 to respond to my daughter. For this, I went to my wife, Eleanor, who was truly a master. I asked her how I should have 56 it.
“Sweetie,” she said, role-playing me in the 57 with my daughter, “There’s a lot of sand here and we need to 58 it up before it destroys the floor, how can I help?
That’s really a great way to deal with it: first 59 the problem, next state what needs to happen and then offer to 60 . It’s simple, right? However, it’s really helpful in solving some problems in life.

A Chinese scientist, Mr. He Jiankui claimed that he has successfully created the world’s first genetically-edited babies. In a interview, Mr. He said he had edited the genetic substance, or DNA, of twin girls born a few weeks early. Though Mr He’s claim was immediately condemned by some scientists as unsafe and unethical, but he defended his work. He said the gene editing, that was to help protect the babies from their future infection of HIV, the virus responsible with AIDS, was perfectly safe. Many scientists working in genetics say he believe any experiments performing this way are dangerous.
In the United States and other country, this kind of gene editing is strictly banned. What scientists are worried about that such changes to a person’s DNA may harm his/her other genes and lead to deadly diseases.

Dear Green,
I am Li Hua from China, determined to fly to UK for my winter vacation. I have booked my hotel on the Internet. I am writing to ask you for some information before I get there.
To begin with, my flight is scheduled to arrive at Heathrow Airport at 8 p.m. on February 13. I wonder if it is convenient for me to get to the hotel by public transport given possible delays. Besides, I’d like to know more details about the accommodation, especially something about the meals, as I didn’t see that on the web page. More importantly, could you recommend some attractions to visit? London has always been my dream place to explore the English culture, but with too many choices, recommendations from you will be valuable and highly appreciated.
Looking forward to your reply and seeing you in London.
All the best.
Yours,
Li Hua
