Seven years ago， when I was visiting Germany， I met with an official who explained to me that the country had a perfect solution to its economic problems. Watching the U.S. economy 16 during the 90s， the Germans had decided that they， too， needed to go the hightechnology 17 . But how？ In the late 90s， the answer seemed obvious： Indians. 18 all， Indian entrepreneurs accounted for one of every three Silicon Valley startups. So the German government decided that it would 19 Indians to Germany just as America does： by 20 green cards. Officials created something called the German Green Card and 21 that they would issue 20，000 in the first year. 22 ， the Germans expected that tens of thousands more Indians would soon be begging to come， and perhaps the 23 would have to be increased. But the program was a failure. A year later 24 half of the 20，000 cards had been issued. After a few extensions， the program was 25 .

I told the German 26 at the time that I was sure the initiative would fail. Its not that I had any particular expertise in immigration policy， 27 I understood something about green cards， because I had one （the American 28 . The German Green Card was misnamed， I argued， 29 it never， under any circumstances， translated into German citizenship. The U.S. green card， by contrast， is an almost 30 path to becoming American after five years and a clean record）. The official 31 my objection， saying that there was no way Germany was going to offer these people citizenship. “We need young tech workers，” he said. “Thats what this program is all 32 .” So Germany was asking bright young 33 to leave their country， culture and families， move thousands of miles away， learn a new language and work in a strange land—but without any 34 of ever being part of their new home. Germany was sending a signal， one that was 35 received in India and other countries， and also by Germanys own immigrant community.

A

Scholars and students have always been great travelers. The official case for “academic mobility” is now often stated in impressive terms as a fundamental necessity for economic and social progress in the world， and debated in the corridors of Europe， but it is certainly nothing new. Serious students were always ready to go abroad in search of the most stimulating teachers and the most famous academies； in search of the purest philosophy， the most effective medicine， the likeliest road to gold.

Mobility of this kind meant also mobility of ideas， their transference across frontiers， their simultaneous impact upon many groups of people. The point of learning is to share it， whether with students or with colleagues； one presumes that only eccentrics have no interest in being credited with a starling discovery， or a new technique. It must also have been reassuring to know that other people in other parts of the world were about to make the same discovery or were thinking along the same lines， and that one was not quite alone， confronted by inquisition， ridicule or neglect.

In the twentieth century， and particularly in the last 20 years， the old footpaths of the wandering scholars have become vast highways. The vehicle which has made this possible has of course been the aeroplane， making contact between scholars even in the most distant places immediately feasible， and providing for the very rapid transmission of knowledge.

Apart from the vehicle itself， it is fairly easy to identify the main factors which have brought about the recent explosion in academic movement. Some of these are purely quantitative and require no further mention： there are far more centres of learning， and a far greater number of scholars and students.

In addition one must recognize the very considerable multiplication of disciplines， particularly in the sciences， which by widening the total area of advanced studies has produced an enormous number of specialists whose particular interests are precisely defined. These people would work in some isolation if they were not able to keep in touch with similar isolated groups in other countries.

36. It can be concluded from the passage that “academic mobility” .

A. means the friendship formed by scholars on the trip

B. is a program initiated by governments

C. has been put great emphasis on in the world

D. means going abroad in search of the best teacher

37. In the eyes of the author， what happens to a scholar who shares his ideas with his colleagues？

A. He risks his ideas being stolen.

B. He gains recognition for his achievement.

C. He is considered as an eccentric.

D. He is credited with a startling discovery.

38. The author thinks that its important for scholars to be able to travel because .

A. their laboratories are in remote places

B. there is too much stress at universities

C. their fellow experts are scattered around the world

D. there are so many people working in similar fields

B

The old house was divided into two dwellings by a thin wall that passed on. On the north were the Leonards， on the south were the Hargers.

The Leonards husband， wife， and 8yearold son had just moved in. And aware of the wall they argued in a friendly way as to whether or not the boy， Paul， was old enough to be left alone for the evening while his parents went to a “certain” movie.

“Ill be all right，” said Paul. “What could happen to me here？ Ill be fine.”

Pause

Soon after Pauls parents left， the radio in the Hargers apartment went on. It was on softly at firstso softly that Paul couldnt make out the announcers words. The music was frail and dissonant—unidentifiable.

Paul tried to listen to the music rather than to the man and woman who were fighting.

The voices of the man and woman were getting louder， drowning out the radio. All at once it was all quiet next door—except for the radio.

Now the fighting was beginning againlouder and louder， crazy and cruel. The woman shouted again， a high， ragged， poisonous shout.

Paul stood， shaking， wanting to shout in terror. It had to stop. Whatever it was had to stop！

Paul heard the clicking of the womans heels across the floor. The radio volume swelled until the boom of the bass made Paul feel like he was trapped in a drum.

“And now，” bellowed the radio， “Remember if you have a dedication， call Milton 93000 and ask for AllNight Sam， the record man.”

The music picked up the house and shook it.

A door slammed next door and someone hammered on the door. A prickling sensation spread over Pauls skin： he faced the truth that the man and woman would kill each other if he didnt stop them.

He beat his fists on the wall. “Mr. Harger！ Stop it！” he cried， “Mrs. Harger！ Stop it！”

Next door， crockery smashed， filling a split second of radio silence. And then a tidal wave of music drowned out everything again.

Paul stood by the wall， trembling in his helplessness. “Mr. Harger！ Mrs. Harger！ Please！”

“Remember the number！” said AllNight Sam. “Milton 93000！”

Dazed， Paul went to the phone and dialed the number.

“I wonder if I could make a dedication，” said Paul. “From Mr. Lemual K. Harger to Mrs. Harger， the message is ‘I love you， lets make up and start over again.’”

The womans voice was so shrill that it cut through the sound of the radio.

Paul dropped the phone into its cradle. The music stopped and Pauls hair stood on end.

“Folks！ Ive been asked to bring a man and his wife back together again，” said Sam. “I guess theres no sense in kidding ourselves about marriage！ It isnt any bowl of cherries！ There are ups and downs， and sometimes folks dont see how they can go on.”

“...And now， for Mrs. Lemual K. Harger， from Mr. Harger—I love you！ Lets make up and start all over again.” Sam choked up.

The radio went off next door. The world lay still.

There was movement next door. Slow， footdragging movement.

“So，” said the woman， “you want your wife back？ All right， I wont get in her way. She can have you.”

There were three gunshots.

Paul jumped into bed， and pulled the covers up over his head. In the hot， dark cave of the bed， he cried...

39. The story probably happened on .

A. a winter evening B. a rainy Saturday

C. a summer evening D. a hot Friday

40. The radio was mentioned repeatedly to .

A. show Paul was very interested in the music

B. tell readers what the Hargers were doing

C. suggest the end of the story was associated with it

D. to cater to readers curiosity about music

41. From the passage， we can infer that .

A. the Hargers made up and started over again

B. Mr. Harger gave in to Mrs. Harger

C. Paul succeeded helping the Hargers

D. Mr. Harger might be killed by the woman

C

A big focus of the criticism of computer games has concerned the content of the games being played. When the narratives of the games are analyzed they can be seen to fall into some genres. The two genres most popular with the children I interviewed were ‘Platformers’ and ‘Beatthemups.’ Platform games such as Sonic and Super Mario involve leaping from platform to platform， avoiding obstacles， moving on through the levels， and progressing through the different stages of the game. Beatthemups are the games which have caused concern over their violent content. These games involve fights between animated characters. In many ways this violence can be compared to violence within childrens cartoons where a character is hit over the head or falls of a cliff but walks away unscathed.

Controversy has occurred in part because of the intensity of the game play， which is said to spill over into childrens everyday lives. There are worries that children are becoming more violent and aggressive after prolonged exposure to these games. Playing computer games involves feelings of intense frustration and anger which often expresses itself in aggressive ‘yells’ at the screen. It is not only the ‘Beatthemup’ games which produce this aggression； platform games are just as frustrating when the characters lose all their ‘lives’ and ‘die’ just before the end of the level is reached. Computer gaming relies upon intense concentration on the moving images on the screen and demands great handtoeye coordination. When the player loses and the words ‘Game over’ appear on the screen， there is annoyance and frustration at being beaten by the computer and at having made an error. This anger and aggression could perhaps be compared to the aggression felt when playing football and you take your eye off the ball and enable the opposition to score. The annoyance experienced when defeated at a computer game is what makes gaming ‘a(chǎn)ddictive’： the player is determined not to make the same mistake again and to have ‘one last go’ in the hope of doing better next time.

Some of the concern over the violence of computer games has been about children who are unable to tell the difference between fiction and reality and who act out the violent moves of the games in fight on the playground. The problem with video games is that they involve children more than television or films and this means there are more implications for their social behavior. Playing these games can lead to antisocial behavior， make children aggressive and affect their emotional stability.

42. What is the topic of this article？

A. How does playing computer games affect the level of violence in children.

B. There is no difference between Platform games and ‘BeatThemUps’.

C. How to control anger while playing computer games.

D. How to make children spend less time on computer games.

43. What does unscathed （Paragraph 1， Last line） probably mean？

A. Unsettled. B. Unbeaten.

C. Unharmed. D. Unhappy.

44. According to the second paragraph， how does violence relate to playing computer games？

A. When losing computer games children tend to experience frustration and anger.

B. BeatThemUps are more popular with children therefore more likely to produce violent behavior.

C. People who have good handeyecoordination tend to be more violent than others.

D. The violent content in the games gets children addicted to the games.

45. According to the author， why do video games lead to violence more than TV or movies？

A. Because children cannot tell fiction from reality.

B. Because children like to act out the scenes in the games on the playground.

C. Because computer games involve children more than TV or films.

D. Because computer games can produce more antisocial behavior.

To this the tiger agreed， and， taking the oxen with him， the farmer went sadly home and explained how he had met the tiger， and how to save the bulls he had promised the milk cow in exchange. At this the wife began to cry， saying， “A likely story， indeed！—saving your stupid old bulls at the expense of my beautiful cow！ Where will the children get milk？ and how can I cook my pottage and collops （薄肉片） without butter？”

“All very fine， wife，” responded the farmer， “but how can we make bread without corn？ and how can you have corn without bulls to plough the fields？ Pottage is very nice， but it is better to do without milk and butter than without bread， so make haste and untie the cow.”

“You great fool！” wept the wife， “if you had an ounce of sense in your brain youd think of some plan to get out of the scrape！”

“Think yourself！” cried the husband， in a rage.

“Very well！” returned the wife： “Go back to the tiger， and tell him the cow wouldnt come along with you， but that your wife is bringing it.”

The farmer had to go back emptyhanded to the tiger， still sharpening his teeth and claws for hunger. When the tiger heard he had to wait still longer for his dinner， he began to prowl about， and lash his tail， and curl his whiskers， in a most terrible manner， causing the poor farmers knees to knock together with terror.

Soon after the farmer left， his wife put on her husbands best clothes，went to the stable， saddled （裝以馬鞍） the horse， bestrode it， and set off to the field where the tiger was.

She rode along bravely， till she came to where the road turned into the field， and then she called out， as bold as brass， “Now， please God！ I may find a tiger in this place； for I havent tasted tigers meat since yesterday， when， as luck would have it， I ate three for breakfast.”

Hearing these words， and seeing the speaker ride boldly at him， the tiger became so alarmed that he turned tail， and slid into the forest， at such a headlong pace that he nearly overturned his own jackal （走狗）； for tigers always have a jackal of their own， who， as it were， waits at table and clears away the bones.

“My lord！ My lord！” cried the jackal， “where away so fast？”

“Run！ run！” panted the tiger， “theres the very devil of a horseman in the distant fields， who thinks nothing of eating three tigers for breakfast！”

At this the jackal smiled in his sleeve. “My dear lord，” said he， “the sun has dazzled your eyes！ That was no horseman， but only the farmers wife dressed up as a man！”

“Are you quite sure？” asked the tiger， pausing.

“Quite sure， my lord，” repeated the jackal， “and if your lordships eyes had not been dazzled by—the sun， your lordship would have seen her pigtail hanging down behind.”

“But you may be mistaken！” persisted the cowardly tiger， “it was the very devil of a horseman to look at！” “Whos afraid？” replied the brave jackal. “Come！ Dont give up your dinner because of a woman！”

“But you may be bribed to betray me！” argued the tiger， who， like all cowards， was suspicious.

“Let us go together， then！” returned the jackal.

“Nay！ But you may take me there and then run away！” insisted the tiger cunningly.

“In that case， let us tie our tails together， and then I cant！” The jackal， you see， was determined not to be done out of his bones.

To this the tiger agreed， and having tied their tails together in a reefknot， the pair set off arminarm.

A. The farmer and his wife.

B. The tiger and the jackal.

Society today tells us that automatic pencils are a lot better than manual ones which you have to sharpen every 5 seconds. Maybe this is true. However， there are some benefits from using an oldfashioned traditional pencil which you cannot get with an automatic one.

To be honest， it is quite convenient to use an automatic pencil with an easy press on the button.Meanwhile a manual pencil doesnt enjoy any plus point. But it is sort of strange that manual pencils should be used in standardized tests today. Chances are that the manual pencil makes the line of grey look nicer.

Nowadays， it is always a battle of who has the newest， most hightech gadget （小裝置）. From pencils， cars to clothes. The newer it is， it seems the more popular it becomes. If you walk around school， you will for sure find at least three out of ten people walking around with the latest iPhone6. If you are one of the luckier ones walking around with the newest Nokia phones， you will get laughed at.

Maybe an automatic pencil is better at the moment， but after using it for a while， usually the pencil will break. Most people lose them and dont remember to carry extra lead （鉛芯） to fill them up with， as it sometimes can do so much that it needs a lot of lead.Just like an iphone4 needs to be charged after it has done so much work. As for the manual pencil， the lead will also run out but unlike the mechanical pencil it will last longer. Besides， the automatic pencil and the iphoned are more likely to get stolen while the manual pencil along with the Nokia phone will be left alone and most likely returned to you.

TitleAutomatic Pencils 51. Manual Pencils？

61. 閱讀下面短文，然后按要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。

There have been many types of ecological disasters caused to the Australian ecosystem by introducing other animals. The most famous one was the introduction of the rabbit.

The rabbits in Australia are mostly from a group of wild rabbits in south eastern Australia. These were released in the hope of starting a business selling rabbits skin. This did actually happen， but there was nothing to stop the rabbits spreading to the rest of mainland Australia. Now we have billions. They compete with the native animals， damage the vegetation and severely reduce the potential carrying capacity of the land for grasseating animals like sheep and cattle.

As well as the disasters caused to the land ecosystem， there have been ones in the water. The most obvious one was the deliberate introduction of European carp （歐洲鯉魚） to the River Murray. The carp were introduced to eat the weeds growing in the river. Now they have taken over much of the rivers ecosystem and severely reduced the number of native fish.

Not all destructive introductions in Australia were of foreign species. There are several cases of native Australian animals being taken to different places in Australia and causing destruction. Koalas were introduced to Kangaroo Island and increased to such an extent that they are killing off the Manna Gum trees.

五、One possible version：

The passage mainly tells us about some types of disasters caused to the Australian ecosystem by introducing other animals such as the introduction of the rabbit to the mainland and European carp to the River Murray.

The natural balance in an ecosystem must be maintained. This balance may be disturbed due to the introduction of new species， the sudden disappearance of some species and especially manmade causes. Once damaged， it will take a long time to recover.

In the early twentieth century， Roosevelt， President of the US， ordered to kill cruel wolves to protect lovely deer in one of the flourishing forests in Arizona. Therefore， the deer was protected well and its population increased sharply. To everybodys surprise， the forest became lifeless with a great number of deer eating its limited resources. As a result， large quantities of deer died due to the food shortage.

It is vital for human beings to live in harmony with nature. It is high time that man realized he is an integral part of the environment. We should develop ecofriendly habits， and try to stop any activities that will damage the environment.
