C Many high school students consider a college education useless. Therefore, they choose not to go to college. If you’re one of them, think again. Here are some reasons why you should go to college and receive a good education there. Schools and universities are the first sources of knowledge. We take that knowledge later on to build our careers after graduation. More knowledge will be gained after you start working, but without an education, that job will not be within easy reach. Knowledge leads to knowledge. While limited within the walls of the educational institutions, we openly explore other cultures of the world. We come to know that ours is not the only culture. Other cultures have valuable insights to share. Enriching our own, Education also makes us want to travel and interact with various cultures, broadening our horizons. When there’s a downturn(衰退)in the economy, those who attended college will be more likely to find a new job than those who only finished grade school and have a limited skills set. The more education you have, the more chances you will get to improve the quality of your life as you have a better job and earn a higher salary. When you’re skillful and knowledgeable, you get to “rub knees” with people of similar backgrounds and tastes. It inseams a good education leads to excellent networking. Good networking can benefit you a lot in your later life. A good education makes you a more interesting person. You can talk about ideas and events instead of just other people and what’s on sale in stores. An educated person doesn’t gossip, having a preference to discuss ideas and listen to what other people have to say. 28. Paragraph 2 mainly shows that going to college allows you to A. have a chance to study B. keep gaining knowledge C. become a more interesting person D. realize the importance of knowledge 29. According to Paragraph 3, what does going to college mean? A. Having a grater understanding of different cultures. B. Being limited within the walls of a college. C. Valuing our own culture much more. D. Thinking differently from others. 30. By giving the example of a downturn in the economy, what does the author want to show? A. A good education can improve your tastes. B. A good education sometimes means nothing. C. A good education means you will not lose your job. D. A good education allows you to keep a high quality of life. 31. What is the text mainly about? A. Sources of knowledge. B. Benefits of attending college. C. The disadvantages of not being educated. D. The reason why some people think college useless. D When parents discover their child has lied to them for the first time, it can often come as a shock to find their little treasure is capable of such tricking. But new research has suggested many parents may not even notice many of the lies their children tell them. Psychologists have discovered that most parents are over-confident in their child’s honesty and this may break their ability to spot a lie. The findings may help to explain why some parents seem to be willing to let their children get away with almost anything. They say that mothers and fathers suffer from a “truth bias” with their own youngsters but when faced with lies from other people’s children, they have less difficulty telling if a statement is true or not. Dr. Angela Evans, a psychologist at Brock University in Ontario, Canada. Said: “The close relationship that parents share with their own children may be related to their lives. Parents’ truth bias may reflect a rigid and perhaps biased idea of their own children based on previous experiences. This view may result in parents being less suspicious of their children and allowing for their children to be able to successfully cheat them.” Most children are thought to start lying as early as two years old but start telling more believable lies at around the age of four years old. Learning how to lie is widely considered to be a key part of the social development in children. But many parents are shocked when their children start lying to them. In their study, Dr, Evans and her colleagues filmed 118 children as they performed a test. Then videos of those children were shown to 152 parents of children aged 8 to 16 years old, 80 of whom had children who had taken part in the test. The researchers found that the parents were less able to spot lies told by their own children. However, they were better at finding truths than parents whose children hadn’t taken part in the test. 32. Why do parents have difficulty finding their children’ A. Parents are too trusting of their children. B. Children know how to exam their parents’ trust. C. Parents may establish no close relationship with children. D. Children don’t communicate with parents about everything. 33. What does the underlined word “suspicious” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Conceded. B. Skeptical. C. Realistic. D. Sure. 34. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Children aged 8 to 16 years old tend to lie more. B. Parents having no child enjoy an advantage in telling lies. C. 80 percent of children may lie to their parents in daily life. D. Parents are better at telling truths rather than lies from their children 35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Should children tell lies to their parents? B. Why parents fail to tell their children’s lies? C. Can parents tell whether their children are lying or not? D. What should parents do when their children lie to them? 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满发 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 People have always wanted to know what the future will look like.

But we humans are driven by the same basic needs as we were 150 years ago, such as food, sleep, the feeling of being appreciated and loved. 37 No, In addition, generally speaking, the inventions for the last 150 years have been a human effort for freedom and communication.

It might be in the future to experience the sand between your toes, and hear the waves, just lying in your bed at home. 39 So, even if a great invention is there for an affordable price, it’ll never take the place of the common experience if it is not real. 40 What we’ll see in the next 50 years is the transition(过渡) from an oil-dependent society to a new society. Here there’ll be new medicine, continued expiration of space, challenges in the climate change. And new inventions that make life a little easier. A. So what will the future look like then? B. Will this change in the next 150 years? C. Predicting the future can help us in many ways. D. However, you’ll never get the feeling of being there. E. Well ,to understand the future, you must know the past. F. However, no matter how real the experience will feel, it doesn’t happen for real. G.
