11、分） Every year in America, highschool students who want to go to college take a national examination called the Scholastic Aptitude Test, or SAT in a shortened way. Their score is an important factor in determining which colleges will admit them or whether any will be admitted at all. The Scholastic

12、Aptitude Test measures ones mathematical ability and use of the English language. Traditionally, the English part involved grammatical questions and paragraphs that test reading comprehension.But the SAT folks have added a single question, to be answered in an essay, handwritten on the spot. Thats a

13、n interesting way to test writing ability, but content aside, have you ever seen young peoples handwriting lately? Or anyones for that matter, in this age of computer keyboards? Students write numbers and sign their names on bank checks. They scribble class notes in what can generously be described

14、as the written word.Yet todays kids are asked to write, thoughtfully and clearly, for several minutes on this SAT Test. Good luck to the text scorers who must work out difficultly the scrawl (潦草的字迹) of young people whove been typing on computers since the age of three! Teachers insist that good hand

15、writing can not only help ones score on the SAT, but also, later on in life, impress potential employers. And dont forget, we all have to turn to handwriting from time to time, as computers go down when power goes out.Then how to improve the handwriting? Well, with a few simple steps you can improve

16、 your handwriting.Position the pen. You should hold the pen between the forefinger and the thumb, then rest it near the first knuckle (指节) of the middle finger. The rest of your fingers should be curled (卷曲) under your hand and your hand should remain relaxed.Evaluate your writing. Make changes to y

17、our letters till you like how they look.Take your time. Speed is bound to make your writing messylooking.Practise. Practise it a lot; its not enough to do it once and hope for the best. It has to be something you work at to make great improvements.1、The underlined word scribble in Paragraph 2 probab

18、ly means _.Awrite quickly and roughlyBtype simply and correctlyCpaint clearly and neatlyDdescribe properly and well2、According to Paragraph 3, students with good handwriting skill_.Acan pass the SATBcan develop good charactersCcan impress their classmatesDcan get more job opportunities3、Which of the

19、 following should you avoid when improving your handwriting?APractising writing a lot.BWriting as fast as you can.CRelaxing your hand when holding the pen.DChanging your letters till you like how they look.4、The text is to present the fact that_.Awriting seems to be very important in the SATBthose w

21、rnment dependency.Wounded veterans（老兵）learn they have two basic choices: They can receive almost $ 3 ,000 a month in disability benefits along with medical care and access to other various welfare programs, or they can try to find a job. Especially in this economy, its no wonder that many find that

22、first option hard to turn down.Mark Duggan, an economics professor at Stanford University, reports that enrollment in the U. S. veterans disability programs rose from 2.3 million in 2001 to 3.9 million in 2014. The percentage of veterans receiving benefits doubled, from 8.9% in 2001 to 18% in 2014.

23、Disability services for veterans now consume $59 billion.In the 1980s and 1990s, male veterans were more likely to be in the labor force than nonveterans. But since 2000, that has changed dramatically. Now there is a 4% gap between veteran and non-veteran labor participation, with veteran participat

24、ion lower.Navy SEAL Eric Greitens, the founder of The Mission Continues, explains how soldiers who served their country are transformed into welfare receivers who live off their country.“When veterans come home from war they are going through a tremendous change in identity, ” he says. “Then the Uni

25、ted States Department of Veterans Affairs, and others, encourage them to view themselves as disabled.” By the time they come to Greitens non-profit organization, “We meet a number of veterans who see themselves as charity cases and are not sure anymore what they have to contribute.”There are also mo

26、re practical factors driving the disability boom. One is the expansion of qualification criteria. In 2000, for instance, type 2 diabetes was added as a disability because of evidence linking exposure to Agent Orange with the onset of the disease. Heart disease has also been added to the list.Another

27、 possible factor is that younger veterans seem less against welfare than their parents generation. Veterans who have served since the 1990s are much more likely to sign up for disability than their older counterparts; 1 in 4 younger veterans is on disability, versus just 1 in 7 of those over age 54.

28、We shouldnt go back to the bad old days when veterans were afraid to admit weakness. But Lt. Col. Daniel Gade is one of many veterans who think our disability system is harmful, psychologically, to former soldiers. Gade lost his leg in combat in 2005 and now teaches at West Point. He recently gave a

29、 talk to disabled veterans at Ft. Carson, in which he urged them to rejoin the workforce.“People who stay home because they are getting paid enough to get by on disability are worse off,” he warned. “They are more likely to abuse drugs and alcohol. They are more likely to live alone.”What a waste of

30、 human potential, especially since most veterans on disability still have their prime working years ahead of them when theyre discharged（遣退）.We could solve this problem by changing the way we view-and label-veterans with disabilities. As Gade noted in a recent article, “Veterans should be viewed as

31、resources, not as damaged goods.” He recommended that “efforts to help veterans should begin by recognizing their abilities rather than focusing only on then disabilities, and should serve the ultimate aim of moving wounded soldiers to real self-sufficiency.”On a more practical note, the United Stat

32、es Department of Veterans Affairs could reallocate（再分配）resources to spend more on job training and less on disability. Current placement programs are sadly inadequate.We are good at sending soldiers off to war. Yet when these young men and women return home, they are essentially told, “Well give you

33、 enough for a reasonably comfortable life, but we wont help you find a job.”It is unreasonable that we are condemning thousands of young veterans who served their country to life on the dole（失业救济金）rather than enabling them to re-enter the workforce with the necessary accommodations.1、What do more an

34、d more wounded veterans appear to do nowadays?ADepend on the government for a living.BBe treated badly in most workplaces.CAsk the government for more dole.DSpend more time on job hunting.2、How does Mark Duggan prove his opinion in the passage?ABy listing figures. BBy giving examples.CBy performing

35、experiments. DBy analyzing cause and effect.3、What did veterans use to do in the 1980s and 1990s?ARefuse to find jobs. BBe a main labor resource.CHave much trouble finding jobs. DReceive many disability benefits.4、One of the reasons why there are more disabled veterans is that .Adamage from the war

36、is greater than everBveterans have suffered much more than everCthe scale of disabilities has been broadenedDolder veterans arent afraid to admit their disability5、In Cades opinion, the veterans who receive welfare from the government tend to _.Asave more trouble for the governmentBlead a miserable

37、and unhappy lifeCincreasingly depend on the governmentDsuffer the humiliation of their combat injuries23（8分） On a recent spring morning. Susan Alexander, a retired government intelligence analyst, left her Maryland home, climbed into her Volkswagen Passat and drove about three miles to pick up two s

38、trangers. She battled rush-hour traffic on the Capital Beltway and George Washington Memorial Parkway before dropping them off at Reagan National Airport. She didnt earn a cent for her trouble, and that was the point.Alexander is a member of the Silver Spring Time Bank-one of more than 100 such exch

39、anges around the world trying to build community by exchanging time credits for services instead of dollars and cents. “I have time,” she said. “I like giving the gift of time to other people. “In Alexanders case, passengers Mary and Al Liepold were grateful for the ride, but it wasnt charity. Mary,

40、a retired writer and editor for nonprofit organizations, used time credits she banked for editing work and baking. Senior citizens who dont drive, the Liepolds cashed in their credits to catch a flight to Montreal for a five-day vacation.Without money changing hands or shifting between virtual accou

41、nts, the airport drop-off was more like a coffee party than a taxi ride. Driver and passengers chatted about projects theyve completed for the time bank, and no one raised an eyebrow when Mary said she likes “to avoid the conventional economy. “The beauty of this is that you make friends,” Mary Liep

42、old said. “You dont just get services.”The Silver Spring Time Bank formed in 2015 and has about 300 members, said co-founder Mary Murphy. Last year, she said, l,000 hours were exchanged for basic home repairs, dog walking, cooking and tailoring, among other services, without the exchange of money. “

43、 You get to save that money that you would have spent,” she said. “You get to meet somebody else in your community and get to know that person. Thats a bonus thats part of an exchange. “A deal performed partly to make friends would seem to go against classical economics and one of Benjamin Franklins

44、 most memorable sayings:”Time is money. “ To those at the forefront of modem time-banking, that is the appeal.1、Whats the main purpose of the Silver Spring Time Bank?ATo better serve the local economy.BTo help people get to know more friends.CTo provide the elderly with timely financial help.DTo bui

But if you ask a doct

47、or, he can see a whole lot more. Everything from poor diet and stress to serious kidney (肾) problems can be revealed by a glance at your fingernails.There are about 30 different nail signs that can be associated with medical issues, though may indicate more than one problem, according to Dr. Amy Der

48、ick, a clinical instructor of dermatology at Northwestern University.Here are five of the things a doctor can tell about your health based on your fingernails.1. People who arent eating well and lack vitamin or dietary may have thinner than normal nails, which are more likely to break.2. Horizontal

49、lines are associated with serious physical stress. They frequently occur in people who have gone through chemotherapy(化疗).They can also occur after some illnesses, injuries, or with severe malnourishment(营养不良).Interestingly, there may be an altitude connection too. Theyve also been found in people w

50、ho dove 1,000 feet and others who participated in an Everest exploration.3. Vertical lines, however, are generally not such a big deal. Some people are more genetically prone to them than others, but theyre commonly associated with aging.4. When people lack iron, their nails can turn spoon-like. Ins

51、tead of curving down and covering the finger normally, they ll start to rise up on the sides and front, like the part of a spoon that holds liquid.5. Kidney and liver problems can create “half-and-half nails”, where one part of the nail is white and the other part dark or pink, according to Derick.D

52、octors note that because disease diagnosis is complex and some symptoms can be associated with different diseases, you should always see a medical professional if you are concerned about something you notice.1、What is the main idea of the passage?ADoctors can tell us something about our health by lo

53、oking at our nails.BWe should see a doctor if we find nails in bad condition.CA famous doctor in the USA conducted an interesting research.DIf we dont want to get ill, we need to clean and stop biting our fingernails.2、If we dont eat well or regularly, our fingernails may _.Abecome harder than norma

57、 lady with a smile.She said, “Hi, handsome.My name is Rose.Im eightyseven years old.Can I give you a hug？” I laughed and enthusiastically responded, “Of course you may ！” She gave me a giant squeeze.“Whyareyouincollegeatsuchayoung，innocentage？”I asked.“I always dreamed of having a college education
