My 36 of school, music and what I planned to do on Saturday night were 37 with the simple aim to beat the football team across the field from us tonight.Approaching my locker, I noticed my teammates 38 . Some rested on benches, staring up at the ceiling 39 it were a film of the opposing teams play. Some seemed a bit more 40 , using the time to tell jokes. A few stared at the field, 41 what will happen in 120 minutes.Our coach, Tony Severino, came out of his office at 6 oclock. He told the team how 42 this game was for the season, between two of the states top teamsmy school and our opposing team, Liberty High School. His words gave the team impulse（冲动）it needed to 43 .At 7:10 pm, warm ups finished, we went over the game 44 and discussed what we needed to do for the next three hours. The sound of the national anthem（国歌） 45 that we were only minutes from the action. Our coach usually made a final 46 . But tonight was different. On this clear night he 47 looked around the room at all the players and shouted, “Lets go and get them.” Even 48 the “get” came out of his mouth, we were already 49 our way out of the door.Outside, a few young fans reached to touch our hands, eager to be a 50 of our schools winning tradition. When I smiled and 51 my hand, the young faces lit up as if they had just met Superman.Seconds later, the team ran onto the 52 , moving as a mass of blue, in front of a packed stadium. We enjoyed a noisy 53 from fans and the fight song played by our school band. Breathing in the 54 of one of the biggest game of the year, I felt we were sure to win.

Magazine Review B. About us C. Licensing D. Submission Guidelines BEngineers should embrace(接受) the arts, Sir John OReilly, a fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology, argued in a lecture. About 59% of engineering companies in the IETs 2014 survey feared skill shortages could threaten business. “There is nothing as creative as engineering,” Sir John told the reporter. He says science, technology, engineering and mathematicsoften known as “Stem” subjects, are vital for a modern knowledge economy. But there is a massive shortfall in the number of recruits(招聘) with a recent study by the Royal Academy of Engineering saying the UK needs to increase by as much as 50% the number of Stem graduates it produces. Delivering this years Mountbatten Lecture at the Royal Institution, Sir John argued that engineers should recognise the role of the arts in their workamong other benefits; this could attract more people into the profession. The lecture, Full Steam Ahead for Growth, advocated a wider adoptionSteam, or science, technology, engineering, arts and maths. Engineers should embrace the arts as being key to creativity and an important component of innovation(创新), important to creating new products and boosting future competitiveness, he argued. “Engineering and technology is an increasingly diverse and creative field,” said Sir John. Some university engineering departments already cooperated with art schools to develop understanding, he told the reporter. In particular he mentioned Cranfield Universitys Centre for Creative Competitive Design and Imperial Colleges work with the Royal College of Art. The two sets of people could work well together and more emphasis on the creative side of engineering could improve the success of products, he said. “Aesthetics(美学) is part of it,” he told the reporter, adding that Apples iPod was not the first digital media player, nor the only one that workedbut it came to dominate the market “because it was nice to have”.Sir John said he was not suggesting universities started requiring A-level art from engineering applicantsthe key subjects for admission would continue to be maths and the sciences. But an emphasis on creative skills would help “broaden the pool and attract more people in”. 58. According to a recent study by the Royal Academy _.A. skill shortages could threaten business B. engineering graduates are not as creative as expectedC. the UK needs more graduates in science, technology, engineering and mathematics D. there are not enough arts graduates produced in the UK.59. According to the lecture Full Steam Ahead for Growth, _.A. accepting the arts could attract more people into engineeringB. engineers should cooperate with arts majorsC. engineers should realize arts play the most important part in their work D. engineering and technology is as diverse and creative as before60. By giving the example of Apples iPod, Sir John intends to _.A.stress the importance of marketingB. stress the importance of arts C. stress the importance of communicationD. stress the importance of science and technology61. What is the passage mainly about?A. Lack of creativity makes it difficult for the engineering major to find a satisfactory job.B. The key subjects for engineering majors remain to be maths and the sciences rather thanarts.C. Engineering needs to emphasize its creative side to encourage more young people to choose it as a career.D. University engineering departments should cooperate with art schools to improve the success of products.CI love seeing Europeans line up in airports to applaud arriving refugees. But humanitarianism (人道主义) will not guide policy for long. We liberals need to argue from Europes self-interest: our continent has the need, the space and the ability to accept people. Many European countries are gradually turning into old peoples homes. Germany, Italy, Spain and others have some of the lowest birth rates in human history. It is predicted that about one-third of their populations will be aged over 65 in 2050. Germany needs to import at least 350,000 people a year to keep its workforce stable. Suddenly, young ambitious workers are pouring into the country as if called by a genie (精灵) with a lamp. No wonder Angela Merkel, German Chancellor, has been more welcoming than David Cameron, British Prime Minister. But all over Europe, carers for old people are already in need. Norway found oil under the seabed but it would have been better off if it had discovered 50,000 nurses there instead. Many rightwingers think we have reached our limits. This feeling is widespread. And its true that Western Europe is one of the most densely populated regions on earth. Indeed, density has long been Europes unique selling point: with so many people of different nations closely packed together, we have always traded goods and exchanged ideas fast. Thats why the scientific revolution of the 16th and 17th centuries happened here. But we have plenty more room. Many European cities arent dense enough. Now east Germany, north-western Spain and gorgeous mountain villages in Italy are losing people. Lots of cities have unused industrial land. Humans inhabit a slice of the EUs territory. Only about 2.5 per cent of the EUs land is used for housing, estimates the European Commission. By contrast, a whopping 43 per cent was used for agriculture in 2009, it says. Thats too much. We could turn more land into forest or into green landscapes where people can relax and play. Making that transition is feasible because we now use agricultural land inefficiently. Migrants often spend years locked up together in serious government-funded “migrant centers”. However, the way to learn a new countrys language, make friends and find work is to live with a local. This crisis has shown that lots of Europeans are willing to take refugees into their homes. After Icelands government said it could take only 50 Syrian refugees, many Icelanders came forward offering to take a far greater number into their own homes. People arent just sitting around waiting for government to do something. We need migrants, and we can accommodate them. If opponents just dont like foreigners, they should say so instead of pretending to be hardheaded pragmatists (实用主义者).62. Why is Angela Merkel willing to take in refugees according to the passage?A. Refugees can make up the shortage of labor in Germany.B. Birth rates in Germany are the lowest in history.C. She is kind and shows sympathy for homeless people.D. Germany has already stepped into aged society.63. Which of the following statements is TRUE
