While attending a conference on campus last spring, Cecilia Miao, Fangdi Pan, and Mupe Niu took a quick look around the room. They couldn’t help but feel disillusioned with whom they saw — or rather, whom they didn’t see.
The conference was funded by the Wisconsin China Initiative, an effort housed in the Division of International Studies and created to, among other goals, strengthen ties between the University of Wisconsin (UW) and higher education institutions in China. Yet the three Chinese natives saw an absence of American-born students at the conference — a reminder of their first days, weeks, and months on campus. Back then, they had felt unwelcome and alone, struggling to adapt to life in Wisconsin.
The three recent graduates found their own approaches to fitting in, but they are now taking action to ease the transition (过渡) for future Chinese students. Motivated by their experience at last spring’s conference, they launched Channel C, a YouTube series of talk show videos that discusses cross-cultural concerns. Their goal was to tear down the social barrier between Chinese and American students at the UW — a wall, they say, that has been put up from
accumulated disinterest and stereotyping (刻板印象) by both groups.
The show’s topics range from standards of beauty, to the secret of making conversations with different people, to the initial culture shock of the campus’s party. One video — “Why Don’t Chinese Students Speak English?” — has more than 100,000 views and 400 comments. Miao, Pan, and Niu say they never expected to reach such a large audience; they are receiving feedback from undergraduates across the nation, as well as younger Chinese students who aim to study in the United States.
“I’m just hoping students at the UW can be more sensitive towards someone with an entirely different background,” Miao says. “I think that’s the goal of liberal arts education (人文教育), anyway to be able to talk to and connect with people. And that’s our goal, too.”
4. What does the underlined word “disillusioned” mean in Paragraph 1?
A Disappointed. B. Angry.
C. Impatient. D. Impressed.
5. What led Miao and her two friends to start Channel C?
A. Their competence in cooperation with others.
B. Their participation in last year’s conference.
C. Their successful adapt action to life at the UW.
D. Their support for the Wisconsin China Initiative.
6. Which of the following best describes Channel C?
A. Creative. B. Inspiring.
C. Ambitious. D. Successful.
7. How can the social barrier be torn down according to Miao?
A. By receiving liberal arts education. B. By improving their language skills.
C. By reaching out with an open mind. D. By following the talk show Channel.

International airline Emirates says it successfully flew a Boeing 777 on a test flight with one engine running on a mixture of “sustainable” fuel.
The test flight took place Monday and lasted about an hour. “The plane took off from Dubai International Airport and then headed out into the Persian Gulf before returning to the airport. It was powered by two General Electric engines. One ran on the sustainable mixture. The other was powered by traditional airplane fuel to ensure safety. Emirates’ chief operating officer, Adel al-Redha, called the flight “a milestone moment for Emirates and a positive
step for our industry”. The flight demonstrated the airline’s desire to deal with one of the industry’s biggest problems, carbon pollution releases related to air travel.
The mixture included fuel provided by Neste, a Finnish company, and US-based fuel maker Virent. Virent says it uses plant-based sugars to make the compounds needed for sustainable jet fuel. Neste’s fuel is made from vegetable oils and animal fats. Those fuels cut the release of heat — trapping carbon dioxide burned off by engines in flight. Airline flights release only one-sixth the amount of carbon dioxide produced by cars and trucks, the Washington-based World Resources Institute reports. However, airplanes are used by far fewer people per day than road vehicles. This means flying has a higher per-capita (人均) release of carbon emissions. But experts have noted that fuels considered sustainable can be three times or more the cost of traditional jet fuel. This added cost is likely to be passed onto flyers if sustainable fuels became more commonly used across the industry.
Airplane and engine manufacturers have been designing more environmentally-friendly versions in recent years. The general goal is to produce less-polluting engines to reduce fuel emissions in an effort to help limit the effects of climate change.
8. What do we know about the test flight?
A. Both engines ran on sustainable fuel. B. One engine was powered by electricity.
C. One engine ran on traditional fuel. D. Both engines were powered by electricity.
9. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A. The price of “sustainable” fuel plane tickets will be higher.
B. Airline flights release more carbon dioxide than cars and trucks.
C. Flying has the same release of carbon emissions as cars and trucks.
D. Airplanes are used by much fewer people than road vehicles.
10. What is the purpose to produce less-polluting planes?
A. To reduce the cost of flights. B. To deal with air pollution.
C. To help control climate change. D. To create a milestone.
11. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A. Education. B. Technology.
C. Entertainment. D. Science.
D
The quote “Travel far enough, you meet yourself.” by English author David Mitchell may seem cryptic (含义隐晦的) and silly to many. But if you reflect on the meaning of this statement there’s actually something very deep about it.
The more experiences you have in life, the more you will find yourself diverging out (分歧) into new and different places, both physically and mentally. If you travel far enough, you will eventually find yourself back at the same place you started from, but your mind will be stretched by all of your journeys along the way. There are a few different ways we can interpret a phrase like travelling far enough. If you think about it literally, there is probably some amount of distance that we need to go. In doing so when we get to our destination, we will see everything with new eyes.
We may be surprised by what we see and change our outlook on life. This interpretation could apply to how people interact in their everyday lives. People have prejudices, stereotypes (刻板印象) and judgments towards other people based on where they live or grew up. When we travel outside those communities or countries, we learn to appreciate those differences rather than hold them against others.
Another interpretation is one that focuses on feeling confident and comfortable with ourselves while being far away from where we normally hang out and spend time, at home or work. It’s easy to get on a track where we see our habits and routine as comforting. But it’s important that we push our boundaries if we are ever going to make any kind of progress in life.
So take a leap into unknown territory Explore places that you haven’t been to before. You can change your viewpoint and gain some perspective on who you are as a person.
12. What does the author think of “Travel far enough, you meet yourself.”?
A. Stupid. B. Confusing.
C. Negotiable. D. Logical.
13. What can be concluded from the literal sense of the quote?
A. Travelling can make us more open.
B. We can discover true selves in travelling.
C. Travelling far enough changes who we are.
D. We should avoid judging others while travelling.
14. What should we do to make progress in life according to Paragraph 4?
A. Travel to far places. B. Expand our comfort zone.
C. Focus on positive feelings. D. Quit old habits and routines.
15. What might be the best title for the text?
A. How Can We Walk Out of Our Comfort Zone?
B. How Do We Change Our Mindset and Feel Comfortable?
C. What Does Travelling Alone Teach Us About Ourselves?
D. What Does “Travel Far Enough You Meet Yourself” Mean?

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a beautiful sunny day when Martin went out into the backyard. It would have been a perfect day to play. But Martin wasn’t out there to play.
His mother had sent him out there so that he could practice the flute (长笛). When she had bought him the expensive flute, he had promised to practice at least thirty minutes every day. But it can be difficult to concentrate or something as unexciting as a flute when your room is full of cool stuff like a TV, video games and the Internet. So Martin’s mother sent him to the backyard to practice, where there would be no distractions (使人分心的事物).
Martin sat down on the grass and brought the flute to his lips. He began doing his fingering exercises with his eyes closed. You have to close your eyes when you want to concentrate on stuff. Anyway, he played for a good forty or fifty seconds before he heard a familiar sound: “Hey, Martin!”
He looked in the direction of the voice and saw the face of his friend, his next-door neighbor Kris, who was smiling at him from the fence which separated their yards.
“I just got a new movie!” he said. “Want to come over and check it out?”
Well, that was exactly what Martin wanted to do. He loved movies but he shook his head and said sorry. Kris seemed disappointed that Martin had said no. But he also understood that Martin had to practice a lot when he was learning a musical instrument. So he left and watched the film by himself.
Martin was alone with his flute. He closed his eyes and started his fingering exercises again. But he couldn’t concentrate. His father was a scientist. Martin had been to his lab many times. He couldn’t understand why his father could concentrate on his researches for so long a time. When he was thinking his father came over.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: With a smile on his face, his father sat beside Martin, which made the young boy a little nervous.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Martin felt ashamed and then he nodded, saying he hoped to be a flute performer.
