11、a money to service workers on top of your bill is a common practice.Though US national law requires that businesses pay workers at least $7.25 (45 yuan) per hour,employees receiving tipsoften waiters and waitressesare the exceptions.They usually only receive at least $2.13 an hour,and tips make up t

12、he difference.As The Wall Street Journal put it:“The American system of tipping holds the promise of great rewards for waiting staff.”So how should you tip if you are in the US?Normally you pay tips as a percentage of the bill.Offering an extra 15 percent of the bill to the waiter or waitress in a r

13、estaurant and to the delivery man or woman is customary and expected.You can offer more for great service and less for poor service.Yet there is an exception.For take-out food,you dont have to provide tips,though some people say that filling an order still requires work and time that deserve a littl

14、e extrabut maybe a little less.Tips are not expected at fast food restaurants,pizza parlors,cafs or ice cream shops either,though a tip jar might be right by the cash register (收銀機).Dont feel obligated to throw some money in,but also remember that it doesnt hurt.Those workers do not rely on tips.Oth

15、er service workers also receive tips.For taxi drivers,15 percent is the norm (標準),more if they help with your bags.Hairdressers often receive about 15 percent of the bill.The same goes for spa therapists(理療師) and tour guides.Today,you can even pay tips on a credit card.When receiving a copy of the b

16、ill to sign,you are free to fill in how much youd like to tip.Though thinking about when to tip and how much you should tip causes a big headache for many Chinese people,its important to bear in mind that as long as you show respect and use your reasoning,things will be just fine.1、What is the artic

17、le mainly about?AHow tipping culture started in the US.BHow to give tips properly in the US.CNew ways to give tips in the US.DThe different attitudes that Chinese people and Americans have toward tipping.2、Which of the following is said to be against the norm of tipping in the US?APaying waiters and

20、uld take it easy and give the correct tips for different occasions22（8分） Albert Einsein said，“Only a life lived for others is worth living.”How does this job offer sound? Youll need to be available on short notice，including late at night and on weekends. You could be asked to do anything from helpin

21、g at community events to responding to life-threatening emergencies (sometimes putting your own safety at risk). This job also involves a lot of regular training. Oh, and you wont be paid for any of this. Would you take the job?This job might not necessarily appeal to everyone, but if this sounds li

22、ke an opportunity youd eagerly accept，then youd fit right in with Western Australias 26,000 emergency service volunteers. The emergency services arent the only industry benefiting from volunteers. Across both Australia and America, between a quarter and half of the population volunteer each year in

23、areas including education, sports, health, religion, and social services.What motivates people to volunteer? Yes, volunteers dont get paid. But it doesnt mean people dont get benefits from volunteering. Indeed, research shows there are significant mental health benefits coming with volunteering. It

24、can be a means to make new friends, build new skills or try things out of your comfort zone. It can also be a means to help loved ones. A case is someone close to me who recently lost her husband to a disease. When her husband was admitted to a nursing facility, she decided to volunteer for the pati

25、ent advocacy committee. She found great support and felt she could make a difference in the lives of the patients. After her husbands passing, she decided to continue volunteering for the committee not only as a way to show gratitude for the great care her husband received but also because she made

26、friends there. She found a way to put her career skills to use for the common good and keep active after retirement.There are countless ways to volunteer.

Cities tend to be short of trees, which provide shade, and they are cov

31、ered with black pavement, which absorbs heat from the sun. Think of how it feels to wear a dark shirt versus a white shirt on a sunny day. A black shirt absorbs light, heating you up. But a white shirt reflects light, keeping you cool.The average temperature in a city of a million or more people can

32、 be more than 5 degrees F hotter than surrounding areas. That extra 5 degrees can turn a hot day from uncomfortable to deadly. As temperatures rise, cities will be an especially dangerous place to be during a heat wave. To protect public health, city officials are going to make the city cooler.As pa

33、rt of that effort, Los Angeles is coating its roads in CoolSeal, a gray paint that keeps streets and parking lots 10 degrees cooler than black asphalt（瀝青）. It will help Angelinos save money during the summer, when air conditioning sends power bills soaring（猛增）. And it will save lives by lowering tem

34、peratures and improving air quality. Hot weather worsens air pollution by turning car exhaust into smog, which can make life miserable for people with asthma（哮喘）and other breathing problems.Of course, LA will have to do more than paint over a few streets to cool off the city. Angelinos will also nee

35、d to plant more trees and apply white paint to rooftopsat least those not already covered in solar panels. While LA is a pioneer of reflective streets, other cities, like New York, are already experimenting with reflective roofs or, like Melbourne, lowering the temperature by planting trees. LA is h

36、ardly alone in its effort to stay cool.“This is an urgent challenge, and its much bigger than one person,” said Mayor Garcetti in a recent statement. “Climate change is a fact of life that people in Los Angeles and cities around the world live with every day.”1、The urban heat island effect results f

37、rom _.Aplanting more trees in the streetsBfurnishing every house with air conditionersCapplying reflective paint to rooftopsDcovering the streets with white paint2、What should the city officials emphasize during hot summer?AWhen to coat the roads with black paint.BWhere to wear a white shirt.CHow to

38、 cool the city.DWhen to cut off the electricity supply.3、What benefit can people gain from the use of CoolSeal?AMaking life easier and more comfortable.BPromoting the sale of air conditioners.CIncreasing the indoor activities.DReducing the number of cold days.4、Whats the main idea of the passage?AL.

39、Aadopted many approaches to fight against the heat.BL.Ais painting its streets white to keep the city cool.CL.Ahas begun to plant trees in the streets.DL.Acalls on people to fight against global warming.24（8分）Many people have bought insurance, either life or property (財產(chǎn)), commercial or compulsory.

40、Yet some people know little about it and some even misunderstand its nature and function.Insurance is the sharing of risks. Nearly everyone is exposed to a risk of some sort. The house owner, for example, knows that his property can be damaged by fire; the ship-owner knows that his ships may be lost

41、 at sea; the breadwinner knows that he may die at an early age and leave his family poorer. On the other hand, not every house is damaged by fire nor every ship is lost at sea. If these persons each put a small amount of money into a pool, there will be enough to meet the needs of the few who do suf

42、fer losses. In other words, the losses of the few are met from the contributions of the many. This is the basis of insurance. Those who pay the contribution are known as the insured and those who manage the pool of contributions as insurers.The legal basis of all insurance is the policy. This is a p

43、rinted form of contract on a piece of paper in best quality. It states that every year the insured shall pay an amount of money, which is called the premium; in return, the insurer will pay an amount of money or compensation for losses if the risk or event insured against actually happens.The premiu

44、m for insurance naturally depends upon how likely the risk is to happen, as suggested by past experience. If companies fix their premiums too high, there will be more competition in their area of insurance and they may lose business. On the other hand, if they make the premium too low, they will los

45、e money and may even have to drop out of business. So the ordinary forces of supply and demand keep premiums at a level, satisfactory to both the insurer and the insured.1、The underlined phrase in Para. 2 most probably means .Amoney paid by the insurers Beach premiumCmoney paid by all those insured

46、Dthe cost of administering insurance2、Insurance premiums do not become too high because .Anot many people insure themselvesBpremiums depend on the risk of lossesCinsurers have to be more competitiveDinsurance companies can never lose money3、According to the passage, insurance business gains profit b

47、ecause .Amore and more people buy insurance Bthe firms have sound managementCthe premium is increased year by year Donly a few of those insured suffer losses4、The purpose of the passage is to .Aexplain an insurance policy Bintroduce insurance businessCpersuade people to be insured Dwarn people of po

48、ssible losses25（10分）Can training Your Working Memory Make You Smarter?We would all like to increase our cognitive(認知的)ability beyond the limits set by Mother Nature. So its no wonder that brain-training programmeswhich typically focus on training our working memoryare a multibillion-dollar industry.

49、 But can this kind of training really make us smarter?Cognitive training sees the brain as a kind of muscle that can be made stronger with the right kind of practice. It consists of tasks or games carried out on computers or smart phones. Despite much research, there has so far been no agreement abo

50、ut its effectiveness. Some think that cognitive training increases a broad range of cognitive abilities, while others less optimistic.Yet we do know that some cognitive skills, such as working memory and intelligence, tend to go together and are predictors of real-life skills such as work performanc

51、e. Thus, training one cognitive skill might lead to an improvement in many other cognitive and non-cognitive skills. That is exactly the underlying hypothesis(假設(shè))on which working-memory training is based.To test this hypothesis, we examined all the studies about working-memory training we could find

52、 with normally developing children: 26 experiments and 1,601 total participants. Children represent an ideal test group: during childhood, skills are still at the beginning of their development. Thus, cognitive training is more likely to succeed with children than adults.The results were very clear.

53、 Working-memory training did not show any effect on childrens fluid intelligence, a persons ability to solve new problems and adapt to new situations. It didnt influence their academic achievement or other cognitive abilities, either. The only reliable effect was that children got better at what the

54、y trained to do. No more, no less. So performing working-memory tasks does seem to make you better at doing them. Nonetheless, the fact that participants got better at such tasks does not necessarily mean that their working-memory ability increased. They may just have learnt how to perform that part

55、icular type of task.The results do indicate that the use of working-memory training programs as an educational tool is fruitless. More generally, together with other research, the results contribute to disproving cognitive training companies promises of a better brain.The results have even more impo

56、rtant implications theoretically. They question the hypothesis that training general cognitive mechanisms can affect other cognitive or real-life skills. Beyond working-memory training, other recent studies have shown the improving cognitive skills outside music-including academic skills.However, th

57、ese negative results must not discourage us from training our cognitive and non-cognitive skills. We just have to be aware of the actual limitations of such practice in areas outside what we are actually training. But that doesnt mean we shouldnt do it-the most efficient way to develop a skill is, a

58、fter all, to train that skill.1、To find out the effect of working memory training, the author _.Amade some scientific studiesBreviewed the previous researchCcompared different test groupsDgot some children involved in the experiment2、Children joining in the experiments were able to _.Ado better in t

59、he field where they are trainedBobtain greater academic achievementsCadjust to new situations quicklyDsucceed when they deal with real life problems3、What is the authors attitude toward the cognitive training?APessimistic BDisapprovingCObjective DOptimistic4、Cognitive training is likely to _ accordi
