the falling percentage of applicants offered places, one british school is giving its students some surprising advice. by any measure hockerili is one of the most successful schools in britain. named last month as one of the governments flagship academies, its students regularly come at or near the top of exam results for the entire country, outperforming such famous names as eton or harrow. but unlike those private schools, where fees can exceed 28, 000 or 45, 000 a year, hockerill, in the hertfordshire town, is a state comprehensive, which charges no tuition fees and is forbidden from selecting its students on the basis of academic ability. and while a third of hockerills 830 students are boarders, they are chosen on the basis of need rather than ability to pay. so when the schools principal heard of government plans to raise university tuition fees in england to 9, 000 a year, he decided to make use of the schools international focus. urging his students to apply to universities abroad and hiring a counselor（顾问） to help the students who want to apply to universities in countries whose fees are cheaper. “if you can get into a university in france and pay about 180 a year for an education at one of the best institutions in the world, why would you pay 9, 000 a year in britain?” the principal asked. pupils at hockerill are offered a choice of seven foreign languages：french, german, spanish, italian, portuguese, japanese or mandarin. history and geography classes are taught exclusively in french or german. but with english rapidly becoming the international language of education, even less linguistically flexible students soon find that going abroad can save them money while enhancing the quality of their education. “our students can get to maastricht in holland by train more quickly than they can get to lees from london,” the principal said. just over the border from germany and belgium, maastricht university offers a highly regarded undergraduate program taught in english. tuition fees are about 1, 430, a year. germany and france offer even greater savings. 59. what is hockerills suggestion to its students? a. learning foreign languages. b. picking courses on their basic needs. c. applying for less famous universities. d. receiving further education outside of uk. 60. we can learn from the passage that hockerill _. a. admits students based on their academic performance b. provides dormitories to the students in need c. collects less money than private schools d. hires counselors for every student61. whats hockerills principles attitude towards governments tuition plan? a. neutral. b. supportive. c. indifferent. d. negative. 62. students choosing maastricht in holland will benefit from the followings except a. education quality b. convenient location c. flexible program plans d. lessons taught in englishc “oh, my god! did i really just send that text?” most people have said something that they wish they could take back. and if they had paused to think about it first, they probably would have acted differently. pausing doesnt pay off just when you speak. scientific studies have shown that making a habit of pausing before you do something can actually have a big impact on how your life turns out. in making decisions we rely on two areas of the brain. one area creates and processes emotions；the other governs logical thought. the type of decision, how we feel about it, and how prepared we are to handle it help determine which brain area has the most influence. but our age also plays an important role. thinking through the consequences of ones actions is actually harder for teens because the area controlling logical thought is not fully developed until around age 25. this is why teens often feel an intense emotional drive to act impulsivelyits how their brains are structured! though this tendency to act without considering the outcomes can lead to problematic situations, impulsivity during the developmental years evolves because it makes teens more open to new experiences and ideas. this openness helps teens become independent adults. the key to making impulsivity work for youinstead of against youis to train your brain by practicing pausing. this doesnt mean you stop taking risks or being open to new experiences. but you wont know if the risk is worth it until you think it through. deciding to take a risk based on logic shows self-control, not impulsivity. what are different ways to pause? you might take a deep breath, count to 10, or ask, “is this worth it?” different strategies work for different people. whatever works for you, keep doing it! by practicing pausing, you can actually change your brain. this means that over time, pausing, instead of immediately reacting, becomes your “natural” response. and with this change, people are on their way to enjoying the life rewards that come with high levels of self-controleven if they werent naturalborn pausers!63. what challenges teenagers? a. giving natural response. b. making logical decision. c. acting before thorough thinking. d. choosing brain-training strategies. 64. an impulsive person tends to _. a. think through a risk in advance b. show high level of self-control c. consider or accept new ideas d. change ideas frequently65. according to the passage, by training ones brain, one can _. a. stop taking risks b. fully develop ones brain c. become more open to new experience d. reduce the influence of emotional drive66. what is the best title for the passage? a. discover the brain function b. crying over the spilt milk c. push the pause button d. impulsivity worksdfencing or not wildlife fences are constructed for a variety of reasons including to prevent the spread of diseases, to protect wildlife from poachers（偷猎者）, and to help manage small populations of threatened species. human-wildlife conflict is another common reason for building fences. wildlife can damage valuable farm animals and crops. some species carry diseases of agricultural concern, and a few threaten human lives. at the same time, people kill wild animals for food, trade, or to defend lives or property, and human activities destroy wildlife habitat（栖息地）. separating people and wildlife by fencing can appear to be a mutually beneficial way to avoid such harmful effects. but in a paper in the journal science, published recently, some scientists argue that fencing should only be used if worse comes to worst. according to the scientists, although fencing can have conservation benefits, it also has costs. when areas of wildlife habitat are changed into islands, the resulting small and isolated populations tend towards extinction, and the resulting loss of larger-bodied species can affect interactions between species in ways that cause further local extinctions. therefore, scientists are asking that conservationists carefully weigh up the biodiversity costs and benefits of new and existing fences. in addition to fences ecosystem-wide impact, the scientists dont think they always achieve their specific aims. construction of fences to reduce human-wildlife conflict has been successful in some places but the challenges of appropriate fence design, location, construction, and protection mean that fences often fail to deliver the anticipated benefits. in some places, fences also provide poachers with a ready supply of wire for making traps. a variety of alternative approaches, including better caring for farm animals, community-based crop-guarding, insurance and wildlife-sensitive land-use planning are suggested to reduce conflicts between people and wildlife without the need for fencing. some projects working with local people and government agencies in indonesia have shown that human-elephant conflict can be dramatically reduced without using fences. the scientists conclude that as climate change increases the importance of facilitating wildlife mobility and conserving landscape connectivity, fence removal may become an important form of climate change preparation, and so fencing of wildlife should be avoided whenever possible. 67. what does the underlined word “mutually” in paragraph 1 probably mean? a. indeed. b. outdoors. c. straight. d. both. 68. according to the scientists, what will fencing influence? a. land building. b. species diversity. c. human population. d. wildlifes body size. 69. what is mainly discussed in paragraph 4? a. replacements for fences. b. wildlife-protection methods. c. effective land-use approaches. d. conflicts between human and wildlife70. the main purpose of the passage is to _. a. argue and prove b. inform and explain c. appeal and discuss d. compare and assess第二节（共5小题；每小题2分, 共10分） 根据短文内容,
