The English test will be removed from China’s college entrance exam by 2020, according to details of exam and admis­sion reform revealed by the Ministry of Education. The national college entrance exam, known as the “Gaokao” has been used to evaluate Chinese students for three decades. The Ministry of Education has worked out a plan for reforming exams and enrollment. The Ministry will solicit(征求) public opinions before its release. Instead, tests will be held several times a year to allow students to choose when and how often they sit the exam so as to alleviate study pressure and change China’s once-in-a-lifetime exam system.

The plan and suggestions for its implementation will be announced in the first half of next year. It will be piloted in se­lected provinces and cities and promoted nationwide from 2017. A new exam and admission system will be established by 2020, according to the education ministry.

The decision has aroused a heated discussion among Shanghai educators and parents who doubted the reform would re­duce the burden of learning English or if the substitute test could reflect a student’s English skills and help students learn English better.

“The reform shows China is learning from the West to give students more test-taking chances. But more chances might become more of a burden since Chinese students are likely to repeat the test until they get the highest score,” said Cai Jigang, a professor at Fudan University’s College of Foreign Languages and Literature and chairman of the Shanghai Advisory Committee for College English Teaching at Tertiary Level.

Yu Lizhong, chancellor of New York University Shanghai, where classes are in English and students are required to have a high standard of English, said the most important aspect of the reform lay in what to test and how to test.

“ As far as I see, the reform doesn’t mean English is no longer important for Chinese students after it will be excluded from the unified college entrance exam,” Yu said. “In a way, English is even more important than before since the test would only serve as reference, while every college and university, even every major, can have different requirements of a student’s English skills under a diverse evaluation system. ”

Yu said some students will have their study pressure reduced if the major they choose doesn’t need excellent English while others still need to study hard if they want to be among the best students.

The education ministry said the reform would not affect students attending the college entrance exam over the next three years.

1.What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A. English will become less and less important in the stage of compulsory education.

B. It has been 30 years since English became one subject of national college entrance exam.

C. China’s once-in-a-lifetime exam system is unacceptable at all.

D. The system that tests are held several times does more good than once-in-a-lifetime exam system.

2.According to the passage, Shanghai educators and parents argue that _____.

A. the new exam and admission system will make no difference

B. English shouldn’t be removed from China’s college entrance exam

C. the reform may accomplish the very opposite

D. Western educational system does not apply to China

3.What does the passage try to express in the underlined sentence?

A. Students needn’t lay a good foundation during the period of high school.

B. Whether students should study hard English may depend on their major.

C. Students can constantly strive for perfection only in their major.

D. English must be close to full mark.

4.What’s the purpose of the passage?

A. To advise students not to devote themselves to English.

B. To call on Education Department to remove English from “Gaokao”.

C. To support the act of Ministry of Education.

D. To encourage students to do as they have planned.

Matt Haimovitz is 42 and a renowned cellist (大提琴手) in the world. He rushed into the classical music scene at the age of 12 after Itzhak Perlman, the famed violinist, heard him play.

But nothing in his family history explains where Haimovitz got his extraordinary talent. And that’s typical, Ellen Winner, a professor says.

“People are fascinated by these children because they don’t understand where their talent came from. You will see parents who say, ‘I wasn’t like this, and my husband wasn’t like this.’ It seems to sometimes just come out of the blue,” Winner says.

It’s not clear whether a prodigy’s （天才）brain is any different from the brains of other children, in part because there have been no study comparing the brains of prodigies to those of average people.

“But I believe that anything that shows up so early, without training, has got to be either a genetic or some other biological basis,” Winner says. “If a child suddenly at the age of 3 goes to the piano and picks out a tune and does it beautifully, that has to be because that child has a different brain.”

Children who are extremely gifted tend to be socially different, too, Winner says. “They feel like they can’t find other kids like themselves, so they feel strange, maybe even like a freak, and feel like they don’t have anybody to connect with. On the other hand, they also long to connect with other kids, and they can’t find other kids like themselves.”

As Haimovitz got older, he became frustrated. He wanted to play other kinds of music but felt constricted by the image and the expectations of the boy prodigy who played classical music and filled concert halls.

“When you start that early, you suddenly start to grow up in public, and I wanted to experiment,” Haimovitz says.

So he took his cello into punk rock clubs and coffee houses. He played Bach, Haydn and Hendrix. “My teacher was Leonard Rose, and we never played any 20th-century music. He didn’t like it. But once I was exposed to James Marshall “Jimi” Hendrix, Miles Dewey Davis El and others, I couldn’t really turn back. I wanted to know more,” he says.

1.According to some parents, prodigies’ extraordinary talent .

A. comes unexpectedly B. is inherited from parents

C. results from hard workD. is trained in early times

2.Winner seems to agree to the fact that ____.

A. average people have their particular brains

B. biology is the base of a different brain

C. a prodigy’s brain is superior to those of others

D. genes play an important role in a prodigy

3.According to the text, gifted children are .

A. lonely B. easy-going C. innocentD. social

4.The last paragraph is mainly about how Haimovitz was trying to .

A. build up his friendshipB. play different kinds of music

C. set up the image of a prodigy D. perform classical music creatively

Humans and dogs have been working together for thousands of years, and some scientists even believe the two species have been living with one another for thousands of years． While having a dog will not improve your health if you never wanted a dog in the first place, dog lovers can benefit from living with them．

1.

Most of us know the benefits of exercise, but it can be a struggle to find the motivation to get up and get moving everyday． A dog provides strong motivations, and can make your daily walk or run less lonely and more fun．Moreover, you'll bum extra calories when helping your dog walk and doing brief training exercises with your dog． For some people, going for walks alone is scary, but a dog can make runs and walks feel more secure．l know that with Ranger．I have to walk him every day, and he's always ready each morning．Sometimes we even have an afternoon or early evening walk, which is better for my health．

2.

There's no doubt that dog ownership does come with some stresses, from making sure you've applied their weekly bath to worrying if your dog will get along with the other dogs at the dog park． But the benefits of pet ownership more than outweigh these small stresses． Research shows that a few minutes spent petting an animal． lowers blood levels of the stress hormone, which contributes to tiredness, weight gain and aging, and your pet can help kill its negative effects． A few minutes playing with your dog every day also releases powerful ¨feel-good" hormones that continue to function in the bloodstream．

3.

Many people living alone worry about thieves, and a dog can help give owners a sense of security． Thieves are less likely to break into a house with a barking dog, and your dog can help you feel less lonely whether you're just spending the night by yourself or living alone long-term．If your dog is older and struggles to move around, you can still rest easy knowing that your dog will get to a robber before you do．

4.

People who have regular positive interactions with others tend to live longer and be happier, and pets provide you with a valuable opportunity to meet and interact with other people． Even if you're shy, it's easy to strike up a conversation with another person if you're both talking about your animals． Visits to the dog park and meet--ups with other pet owners also provide pet owners with opportunities for interactions．If you're still anxious about meeting new people, consider joining a message board or online group for people with similar pets to yours． You'll quickly find yourself making new friends in addition to learning a lot about your best friend - your pet!

5.

In a fast-paced, high-stress world, depression and anxiety are at an all-time high． But pet owners have fewer mental illnesses, and animals are even used as treatment for people suffering from mental illness． If you struggle with depression, an animal can help you avoid such problems． The exercise and stress release you get from spending time with your pet may even reduce the effects of depression． Dog owners are also less stressed than people who don't own dogs, and reduced stress is strongly related with lower blood pressure, a longer life span, greater happiness and improved health．
