二、阅读理解

I belong to that classification of people known as wives. I am A Wife. And, not altogether incidentally, I am a mother.

Not too long ago a male friend of mine appeared on the scene fresh from a recent divorce. He had one child, who is, of course, with his ex-wife. He is looking for another wife. As I thought about him while I was ironing one evening, it suddenly occurred to me that I too, would like to have a wife. Why do I want a wife？

I’d like t o go back to school so that I can become economically independent. I want a wife who will work and send me to school. And meanwhile take care of my children. I want a wife who is a good nurturing attendant to my children, who arranges for their schooling, makes sure that they have an adequate social life with their peers, etc. I want a wife who takes care of the children when they are sick, a wife who arranges to be around when the children need special care, because, of course, I cannot miss classes at school. My wife must arrange to lose time at work and not lose the job. It may mean a small cut in my wife’s income from time to time, but I guess I can tolerate that. Needless to say, my wife will arrange and pay for the care of the children while my wife is working.

I want a wife who will take care of my physical needs. I want a wife who will keep my house clean. A wife who will pick up after me. I want a wife who will keep my clothes clean, ironed, mended, replaced, and who will see to it that my personal things are kept in their proper place so that I can find what I need the minute I need it. I want a wife who will plan the menus, do the

necessary grocery shopping, prepare the meals, serve them pleasantly, and then do the cleaning up while I do my studying. I want a wife who will care for me when I am sick and sympathize with my pain and loss of time from school.

...

If, by chance, I find another person more suitable as a wife than the wife I already have, I want the liberty to replace my present wife with another one. Naturally, I will expect a fresh, new life; my wife will take the children and be solely（单独地） responsible for them so that I am left free.

When I am through with school and have a job, I want my wife to quit working and remain at home so that my wife can more fully and completely take care of a wife’s duties.

My God, who wouldn’t want a wife？

21．Why does the author want a wife？

22．According to the passage, a wife should ______.

D. quit working and remain at home

23．What does the passage mainly talk about？

International students seeking a medical degree in the United States face serious difficulties. First, there is often a language barrier. Students from non-English speaking countries could have a hard time understanding their work or communicating with professors.

Also, a medical education is very costly. First, students must complete an undergraduate degree （本科学历）. Then, most medical schools require at least four years of study. After medical school, students do at least three more years of training in their specific medical fields. They do receive some pay for this work.

In addition, many medical programs at public universities in the U.S. do not accept international students. And private universities have fewer openings, creating a great deal of competition. However, receiving a medical education in the U.S. is not impossible. Fatima Ismail is proof. The 32-year-old from Dubai says she knew she wanted to be a doctor at a very early age.

“I was always fascinated by the brain and how it functions. And I love working with children. There is a huge population of children with developmental disabilities that are not taken care of very well in Middle East in general and my home country, in particular.”

So, Ismail completed medical school in her home country. Then, she applied to a residency（住院实习） program at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. Ismail spent time as an exchange student at Johns Hopkins during her time in medical school.

She says many of her fellow students applied to more than 10 or even 20 different programs.“It’s a very competitive process. Being an international medical school graduate you ... have less chances to be accepted because the priority would be for the U.S. graduates. Having said that, it’s not impossible. All that you need to do is, basically, early planning...”

Planning is highly important for foreign students seeking admission to U.S. medical schools. Paul White is the director for medical school admissions at Johns Hopkins. He says some

schools do accept students with undergraduate degrees from their home countries. But most, he says, require U.S. study.

“So we say we want to see at least one year of additional coursework in any area in the U.S. just so we can see the kinds of courses they are capable of taking and how well they may perform in those courses. And there’s no question that if they do well in the U.S., and they do well on the medical college’s admissions test, then they’ll be eligible（合格的）for admission...”

25．Fatima Ismail is cited as an example to ________.

A. show the possibility of being accepted as a medical major in the U.S.

B. discourage students from applying for medical schools in the U.S.

C. share with readers her enthusiasm for medical education

D. show her terrible living conditions in her own county

26．What may increase applicants’ chance of being accepted by U.S. medical school？

A. One’s money status.

B. A strong character.

C. Early planning.

D. More applications.

27．According to Paul White, why do most medical schools require U.S. study？

A. T o prepare applicants for medical college admission test.

B. To test applicants’ competence as a medical major.

C. T o urge applicants to apply for residency program.

D. T o relieve the pressure of international students.

Sitting under the national flag and separated from the media by a transparent glass wall, 50-year-old Jing Haipeng and 37-year-old Chen Dong appeared calm as they prepare to be part of,

what is scheduled to be, China’s longest-ever manned spaceflight mission.

The two were scheduled to spend a total of 33-days in orbit. This would be 3rd trip into space for veteran Chinese astronaut Jing Haipeng. He has been on the Shenzhou-7 mission in 2008 and the Shenzhou-9 mission in The mission’s commander was also part of docking missions （太空对接任务） on both his previous space flights, giving him the experience needed to help dock Shenzhou-11 with Tiangong-2. Jing Haipeng said, “With The past 18 years of intensive professional astronaut training, together with the two previous experi ences I’ve had flying in space, Fm very confident and determined that this mission is going to be a great success. Personally, I’m much calmer and in a more positive head-space than I was-during my previous missions. I’m very proud to be here to greet our country. I know my confidence is shared with the rest of our entire space program.”

With an unblemished flight record of 15-himdred hours as a pilot, 37-year old Chen Dong was chosen in 2010 to be part of the next generation of Chinese astronauts. He too said he was confident of heading into the mission, even though it would be his first time in space. “I have the chance to join my first mission after 6-years of intensive training and learning. For me, the timing is perfect-not too early, but not too late either. When we train, Jing is my teacher. In life, he is my brother. He is so dedicated, and demands only the best from me and the others that he works with. Because of his experience, I am very lucky to be paired with him on this mission into space.” Afte r being put into orbit, Jing Haipeng and Chen Dong were going to conduct a series of experiments, including testing the latest in China’s advanced life support systems, as well as scientific research.

Wu Ping deputy director of Chena’s Manned Space Program, explains the role of the two astronauts in space. “During their mission, the two are essentially back-ups to one-another.

They are both capable of piloting the spacecraft, complex management, manual docking as well as handling any emergency situations or malfunctions （故障） .While in orbit, they are going to complete a number of maneuvers （演习） with Shenzhen-11, as well as orbital experiments, demonstrations and tests on human health in space.”

American real estate （房地产） tycoon Donald Trump, whose election as US president surprised many around the world, has been unsurprisingly named Time magazine’s “Peron of the

Year” for

Trump said while responding to the news, “It means a lot, especially me growing up reading Time magazine. And it’s a very important magazine, and I’ve been lucky enough to be on the cover many times this year-and last year. But I consider this a very, very great honor.”Trump has long been obsessed with having his face on the cover of magazines, something that happened more and more often as he won early polls, then Republican primaries, then the nomination （提名）, then the presidency. Trump keeps piles of these magazines in his office and with this mindset, Time’s“Person of the Year” became Trumps long-cherished wish. Although the magazine featured Trump several times on its cover, it passed on naming him “Person of the Year” for Instead, it selected German Chancellor Angela Merkel, whom the magazine credited with opening her nation’s border to hundreds of thousands of refugees （难民） and ma naging Europe’s debt crisis. Trump did not take that news well. “I told you @ TIME Magazine would never pick me as ‘Person of the Year’ in spite of being the big favorite. They picked the person who is ruining Germany,” he said on Twitter soon after the ne ws was announced.

Time managing editor Nancy Gibbs said that the decision in 2016 was easy. This title goes to a newsmaker who has influenced events for better or for worse. “When have we ever seen a single individual who has so defied （违背）expectations...beaten not one but two political parties on the way to winning an election... I don’t think that we have ever seen one person, operating in such an unconventional way, have an impact on the events of the year quite like this,” Gibbs said.

32．What do Trump’s words suggest in Paragraph？

A. Luck is on his side.

B. He deserves the award.

C. He feels proud of the award

D. Time has a good effect on him.

33．Which is truth according to the article？

A. Trump is afraid to be famous.

B. Trump is angry about Time magazine.

C. Trump is addicted to having his face on the cover of magazines.

D. Trump is addicted to having his face on the cover of magazines.

34．What can we infer from Paragraph 4？

A. Merkel ruined Germany.

B. Merkel was “Person of the Year” for

C. Trump thought well of Merkel.

D. Trump won “Person of the Year” twice.

35．Why was Trump elected as Time’s “Person of the Year” for 2016？

A. He’s been on its cover many times.

B. He is the newly elected president.

C. He is the favorite of the magazine.

D. He was highly influential in the year.

六、提纲类作文

62．There are two factors which determine an individual’s intelligence. The first is sort of brain he is born with. Human brains differ considerably, some being more capable than others. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to the individual—the sort of the environment in which he is brought up. If an individual is handicapped （受阻碍） environmentally, it is likely that his brain will stop to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.

The importance of environment in determining an individual’s in telligence can be proved by the identical twins, Peter and John. When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in separate foster （寄养）homes. Peter was reared by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities. John, however, was educated in the home well-to-do parents who had been to college. This environmental

difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were given tests to measure their intelligence. Joh n’s IQ was 125, twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his brother.

62．The writer argues in support of the importance of environment in terms of the development of a person s intelligence by giving an example of two twin brothers, who were brought up in different environments.

Personally, I believe environment is crucial to an individual intelligence, as a good environment can offer more opportunities to increase his knowledge and broaden the horizons as well as the chances to practise.

There was such a famous example in Chinese history.Zhongyong, born with a high IQ, distinguished himself by reciting and even writing poems as a child, which astonished others.Unfortunately, his father didn t offer him a good environment to foster him but instead, he often took him everywhere to show off his intelligence.Gradually, Zhongyong became an ordinary person.

Thus, I think we, including our parents, our teacher, even the whole society, should try to create

a good environment for the children to fully develop their intelligence, and for the children, they should also learn to exploit everything available to develop themselves.
