Is there clear boundary between science and the liberal arts as a major for college students? The question of whether our government should promote science and technology or the liberal arts in higher education is not an either / or proposition (命题), although the current emphasis on preparing young Americans for STEM (science, technology, engineering, maths) -related fields can make it seem that way.
The latest congressional report acknowledges the critical importance of technical training, but also stresses that the study of the humanities (人文学科) and social sciences must remain central elements of America’s educational system at all levels.Both are critical to producing citizens who can participate effectively in our democratic society, become innovative (创新的) leaders, and benefit from the spiritual enrichment that the reflection on the great ideas of mankind over time provides.
Parents and students who have invested heavily in higher education worry about graduates’ job prospects (前景) as technological advances and changes in domestic and global markets transform professions in ways that reduce wages and cut jobs.Under this circumstances, it’s natural to look for what may appear to be the most “practical” way out of the problem.“Major in a subject designed to get you a job” seems the obvious answer to some, though this ignores the fact that many disciplines in the humanities characterized as “soft” often, in fact, lead to employment and success in the long run.Indeed, according to surveys, employers have expressed a preference for students who have received a broadly-based education that has taught them to write well, think critically, research creatively, and communicate easily.
Moreover, students should be prepared not just for their first job, but for their 4th and 5th jobs, as there is little reason to doubt that people entering the workforce today will be called upon to play many different roles over the course of their careers.The ones who will do the best in this new environment will be those whose educations have prepared them to be flexible.The ability to draw upon every available tool and insight - picked up from science, arts, and technology - to solve the problems of the future, and take advantage of the opportunities that present themselves, will be helpful to them and the United States.
1.What does the latest congressional report suggest?
A.Higher education should be adjusted to the practical needs of society.
B.The liberal arts in higher education help enrich students’ spiritual life.
C.STEM-related subjects help students find jobs in the information society.
D.The humanities and STEM subjects should be given equal importance.
2.What does the author say about the so called soft subjects?
A.They are essential to students’ healthy growth.
B.They improve students’ communication skills.
C.They broaden students’ range of interests.
D.They benefit students in their future life.
3.What is the main concern of students when they choose a major?
A.The academic value of the courses.
B.Their interest in relevant subjects.
C.Their chances of getting a good job.
D.The quality of education to receive.
4.What advice does the author give to college students?
A.Try to take a variety of practical courses.
B.Prepare themselves for different job options.
C.Adopt a flexible approach to solving problems.
D.Seize opportunities to tap their potential.

请阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
My mom has eyes in the back of her head.She also taught me from an early age to be suspicious of strange men, especially when they give you presents.One day, a “nice man” bearing flowers managed to steal 20 euros from her purse, while she was holding it in her hands.“He said he was collecting for a church charity so I pulled out a euro,” she explains, “He said ‘no, no, that’s too much’ and offered to look in my purse to find a smaller coin.He must have slid out that 20 euro note at the same time.I did not even notice until an hour later.I felt so stupid.”
According to neuroscientists, the key requirement for a successful pickpocket is not having nifty (熟练的) fingers, it’s having a working knowledge of the loopholes (漏洞) in our brain.The most important of these loopholes is the fact that our brains are not set up to multi-task.Most of the time that is a good thing — it allows us to filter (过滤) out all but the most important features of the world around us.But a good trickster can use it to against you.This kind of trick involves capturing all of somebody’s attention with other movements.Street pickpockets often use this effect to their advantage by manufacturing a situation that can not help but overload your attention system.Other strategies are more psychological.Pickpockets tend to hang out a “beware of pickpockets” signs, because the first thing people do when they read it is check they still have their valuables, helpfully giving away where they are.And in my mom’s case, the thief’s best trick was not coming across like a pickpocket.“He was a very nice guy and very confident.Not someone that would cause you to suspect,” she says.Apollo Robbins, a stage pickpocket, said smart move, like moving your hand in an arc (弧) motion rather than a straight line, is another popular strategy employed by tricksters.
At last, it should be pointed out that most thefts are opportunistic.The skill level of most thieves is far less than you think.But they are opportunistic enough to keep up with new technology.
1.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.People’s brains are not designed to multi-task.
B.People’s brains can filter out all but the most important features.
C.Somebody’s attention can be distracted by a certain trick.
D.Somebody’s overload attention system.
2.According to the passage, all of the following are pickpocket strategies except _________.
A.having nifty fingers
B.hanging out “beware of pickpockets” sign
C.displaying confidence
D.moving hand in an arc motion
3.In the author’s opinion, _________.
A.people’s brains have many loopholes
B.thieves are more skillful than opportunistic
C.his mom’s losing money is nothing but a by-accident experience
D.signs reminding people of pickpockets can play a negative role in protecting valuables
4.What will the author probably talk about next?
A.Mom’s another suffering
B.Pickpockets concerning new technology
C.Pickpockets’ tricks
D.Apollo Robbins’ stage pickpockets

My mother has always instilled in me the importance of education. Education is essential. It will help me get accepted to college if I perform well academically and advance my opportunities for success in the future. Most jobs now require at least a high school diploma, and for many jobs, a college degree is preferred. It is important that all students have excellent educators in their life to help them achieve and have the opportunity to go to college, get a job, support themselves and their family, and impact the community.
As we celebrate and honor all teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week, I’ve reflected on the impact my teachers have had, and will continue to have, in my life. From Mr. Bowker, who challenged me in math, to Mr. Bernsteen, my health teacher who taught me the value of hard work, my teachers have helped shape the student I am today. But one of the teachers who left a lasting impression on me was my summer school teacher, Mr. Davis, who impacted me beyond the classroom. He found time to connect with me on a personal level and talk to me after class. I felt like Mr. Davis cared about my academic success and was committed to setting an example of what’s possible.
Mr. Davis could relate to what it was like to be a rising ninth-grade black male in today’s society. He taught me how to speak up confidently and share my ideas with others. He told me that I was brilliant and that when I spoke, the world should listen. And when I would put my hand down because I was unsure of my answer, Mr. Davis would immediately say, “No guts, no glory.” He never made me feel inadequate; he encouraged me to always pursue knowledge because he, too, was learning every day. Mr. Davis helped me navigate the challenges and take advantage of the opportunities.
I think having more black male teachers like Mr. Davis in the classroom could increase student success. They would share the background and experiences of many of their students and help build long-lasting teacher/student relationships. But, unfortunately, the likelihood that students of color in Nevada will have a teacher that looks like them is one of the lowest in the country.
As the student population becomes more ethnically diverse, teachers in Nevada still are predominantly white. According to a 2012 Education Week report, in the Clark County School District, nearly 70 percent of students identified as students of color, but 76 percent of teachers were white. The numbers for black male teachers are more discouraging. Just 2 percent of teachers nationwide are black men.
But you can help change the numbers. Whether you decide to study education in college or graduate school, or apply to programs in Las Vegas such as Teach For America, I hope more black males will consider teaching as a career.
My peers and I need more examples of excellence and success in classrooms—examples who look like us. You can be the model to impact our life and push us to achieve. You can ensure that, when we look to the front of the room, we can see a little bit of ourselves reflected back.
1.Mr. Davis left the author with a very deep impression mainly because he ________.
A. was extremely knowledgeable and hard-working
B. was a role model to teach hearts and change minds
C. spent much time helping the author with his homework
D. kept in close touch with the author even after graduation
2.The underlined word “guts” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. bravery B. connection
C. opportunity D. qualification
3. By writing the passage, the author intends to ________.
A. show students’ love for their teachers
B. appeal to more black males to be teachers
C. express sympathy for students of color
D. advertise for black male teachers

The sharing economy has grown in recent years to include everything from apartment sharing to car sharing to community tool sharing. Since 2009,a new form of sharing economy has been emerging in neighborhoods throughout the US and around the world—Little Free Libraries. The libraries are boxes placed in neighborhoods where residents(居民) can take out and leave books. Little Free Libraries come in all shapes and sizes. Some libraries also have themes, focusing on books for children, adults, or tour guides.
In 2009,Tod Bol built the first Little Free Library as a gift to his mother, a devoted reader. When he saw the people of his community gathering around it, exchanging conversations as well as books, he knew he wanted to take his simple idea further. “I think Little Free Libraries open the door to conversations we want to have with each other.” Bol said.
Since then, his idea has become a movement, spreading from state to state and country to country. According to Little Free Library. org, there are now 18,000 of the little structures around the world, located in each of the 50 US states and 70 countries in Europe, Africa and Asia.
The Internet has helped to spread Little Free Libraries. But an Atlantic article says the little structures serve as a cure for a world of e-reader downloads. The little wooden boxes are refreshingly physical and human. For many people, the sense of discovery is Little Free Libraries’ main appeal. “A girl walking home from school might pick up a graphic novel that gets her excited about reading; a man on his way to the bus stop might find a volume of poetry that changes his outlook on life,” says the Atlantic article. “Every book is a potential source of inspiration.”
1.How do Little Free Libraries get their books?
A. Citizens shared them. B. Tod Bol donated them.
C. US government provided them. D. The communities bought them.
2.Why did Tod Bol want to build more Little Free Libraries?
A. He wanted to promote his idea worldwide.
B. He was inspired by the sharing economy.
C. They can offer neighbors more chances to talk.
D. They are a gift to please his mother.
3.According to the Atlantic article , Little Free Libraries _________.
A. help cut down on e-reading
B. benefit the spread of the Internet
C. promote e-reader downloads
D. call on human to care about each other
4.Little Free Libraries attract readers most in that .
A. they connect strangers together
B. they are located all over the world
C. they are in various shapes and sizes
D. they may give readers a sense of discovery
