What I found is an exciting new era of higher education that will help more students get a great, personalized education at an affordable price.This future may not always include the lecture halls, dormitories, and other features of the traditional college experience. Instead, the colleges I visited are experimenting with ways for students to get their degrees online, allowing them to take courses any place and at any time.These “colleges without walls,” as they are sometimes called, are at the forefront of the effort to broaden access to higher education, especially for low-ine students with full-time jobs and families. During my visit, I heard encouraging stories of students who were taking advantage of these flexible learning models to pursue degrees that could put them on paths to new careers.One of those students was Shawn Lee. He had a pelling story: After dropping out of college decades ago, he found himself in a series of low-paying, often back-breaking jobs. He recently decided to get his degree when he had his first child and wanted to start building a better life.Tucked away in an industrial park in Tempe, Rio Salado didnt look much like a traditional institute of higher education. There were no students running to class. Just a couple of glass-faced office buildings. The college had just 22 full-time faculty serving 60,000 students, with more than half of them attending classes online.Several students I met during my visit said they liked learning online. “Ive taken college classes in a big auditorium with herds of people. There was no personal connection,” one student said. “Now I can reach my teacher with the click of a mouse.”After several days visit, I left Arizona feeling quite optimistic about what the future holds for higher education.21. What does “colleges without walls” in the third paragraph refer to?A. Colleges that have no walls around. B. Colleges that students attend online .C. Colleges that can be entered freely. D. Colleges that give students more freedom.22. What made Shawn Lee return to attend college again ?A. That he has nothing to do. B. That he couldnt find a job.C. That the cost of the college is low. D. That he wanted to find a better job. 23. How did the writer feel after the visit ?A. Hopeful. B. Dissatisfied. C. Disappointed . D. Upset.24. What is the writers purpose by writing this passage?A. To explain what “colleges without walls” are. B. To advertise the colleges. C. To encourage people to attend higher education .D. To introduce a new model of education.B Children s lives have changed greatly over the last 50 years. But do they have a happier childhood than you or I did? Its difficult to look back on ones own childhood without some element of nostalgia(怀旧的). I have four brothers and sisters, and my memories are all about being with them, playing board games on the living room floor, or spending days in the street with the other neighborhood children, racing up and down on our bikes, or exploring the nearby woods. My parents scarcely appear in these memories, except as providers either of meals or of severe blame after some particularly risky adventure. These days, in the UK at least, the nature of childhood has changed dramatically. Firstly, families are smaller, and there are far more only children. It is mon for both parents to work outside the home and there is the feeling that there just isnt time to bring up a large family, or that no one could possibly afford to have more than one child. As a result, todays boys and girls spend much of their time alone. Another major change is that youngsters today tend to spend a huge amount of their free time at home, inside. More than anything this is due to the fact that parents worry far more than they used to about real or imagined dangers, so they wouldnt dream of letting their children play outside by themselves. Finally, the kind of toys children have and the way they play is totally different. puter and video games have replaced the board games and more interesting activities of my childhood. The irony(令人啼笑皆非的事情) is that so many ways of playing games are called “interactive”. The fact that you can play electronic games on your own further increases the sense of loneliness felt by many young people today. Do these changes mean that children today have a less relaxing childhood than I had? I personally believe that they do, but perhaps every generation feels exactly the same.25. What is the purpose of the direct question given in the first paragraph?A. To show who the passage is written for.B. To gather peoples opinions on childhood.C. To get peoples attention and lead in the topic.D. To pare the childhood lives of two generations.26. Which is NOT a reason for the changes?A. Families are smaller today.B. Its too dangerous to play outside.C. Toys can be played by children alone at home.D. Parents worried too much about their children.27. What has the writer focused on in the fourth paragraph?A. Young people today shouldnt play electronic games.B. puter and video games have replaced the board games.C. Some games that young people play today arent really good.D. Board games are much more interesting than puter games.28. The writers attitude towards the childhood changing is .A. approvingB. objectiveC. unconcernedD. optimisticC NSE Summer School is suitable for those who are at, or are about to start university.

No. But a new research shows that large amounts of flavones(黄酮类) substances found in cocoa, tea and some kinds of vegetables, may improve age-related memory failure. Dr. Scott Small is a professor of neurology at Columbia University in New York City. He is the lead writer of a research paper describing the effects of cocoa flavones on brain activity. His study involved 37 volunteers aged between 50 and 69. Researchers gave them a high-level flavones drink made from cocoa beans or a low-level flavones drink. For a period of three months, some subjects got 900 milligrams of flavones a day. The others got 10 milligrams of flavones each day. Brain imaging and memory tests were given to each study subject before and after the study. Dr. Small says that the subjects who had the high-level flavones drink showed much improvement on memory tests. The researchers warn that more work is needed to be done because this study was performed only on a small group. Dr. Joann Manson is the lead researcher of a four-year study involving 18,000 adults. This study will use flavones capsules(胶囊). The study subjects will be divided into two groups and will take two pills per day. The capsules used will all look the same. But one groups capsules will contain flavones, while the other group will take capsules made of an inactive substance, or placebo. Dr. Manson says its not necessary for people to start eating more chocolate, because a person would have to eat a huge amount of chocolate to get the same level of flavones given to the lest subjects. He adds many manufacturers have planned to remove the flavones from their chocolate products. Similarly, Dr. Manson says a cocoa-based flavones extract (提取) may be developed in the future. But he says that more studies are needed to see how much flavones is good for our health. 32. What was done to the subjects after Dr. Smalls study?A. They were asked to take a high-level flavones drink.B. They were given capsules containing flavones.C. They were given brain imaging and memory tests.D. They were asked to take two pills of flavones capsules per day. 33. Whats the similarity of the 2 experiments?A. Both use high-level flavones capsules.B. The number of the subjects is the same.C. Drinks and placebos are used in both experiments.D. The subjects are divided into two groups in both experiments.34. Why will Dr. Manson carry out the four-year study?A. To prove the first experiment is wrong.B. To carry out the experiment further.C. To test how much flavones can improve our memory.D. To show eating chocolate is better to improve memory.35. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Its not necessary for us to eat chocolate.B. The more we eat flavones, the better our health will be.C. In the future we can get flavones without eating chocolate.D. Its easy for people to get the same level of flavones given to the test subjects.第二节 补全短文 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。You can take a selfie（自拍） with a hand-held digital camera or mobile phone and later share it on the Internet. 36 According to a recent survey, half of the interviewees admitted to taking a selfie while on holiday.
