21、 Chinese high school students who want to enter the Universily of Cambridge may find that their scores on the national college entrance examination, or gaokao, will help their applications in the future.
The University of Cambridge said in March that it has been using scores on gaokao as part of its admission criteria (标准)for Chinese students for several years, according to its official Weibo account. In addition to top scores on gaokao, Chinese applicants also need to meet English language requirements, participate in an interview and take a subject-specific wrillcn admission assessment (评估).
The gaokao has been crilicized by some as a one shot exam that focuses on rote learning (死记硬背)rather than creativity. However, more and more people believe that there's no perfect predictor (侦测指标) of academic performance, and gaokao has the advantage of being what educational experts call a criterion-referenced (标准参照) exam—tests when her students are able to master a given body of knowledge , as well as their ability to work hard and consistently. Recent years have seen more and more foreign universities begin to accept gaokao scores as part of the application process.
Despite the gaokao's growing acceptance among US universities, "There is a long way to go before the US education circle fully recognizes the gaokao, as there are still many US universities that don't accept it as part of their application process, " (Chu Zhaohui. a researcher from the National Institute of Education Sciences, told the Global Times.
【1】According to Paragraph 2, we can learn that ________.
A.Chinese applicants need to apply for a Weibo account before attending the tests
B.apart from the scores on gaokao, Chinese students need to take part in other tests
C.scores on gaokao are used as an only admission criterion for Chinese students
D.Chinese applicants have to participate in online interviews
【2】Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.An increasingly number of people have criticized gaokao in recent years.
B.As a predictor of academic performance, gaokao is perfect.
C.Gaokao has its own advantages regardless of the disadvantages.
D.Students will gain the ability to work hard and consistently by attend ing gaokao.
【3】It is suggested in the last paragraph that ________.
A.gaokao will be abolished (废除)in the near future
B.most of the US universities have accepted gaokao as their admission criterion
C.it will take a long time for more US universities to accept gaokao
D.many US students want to apply for universities by attending gaokao
【4】The passage is most probably taken from ________.
A.a science magazine B.a short-story collection
C.a newspaper D.an advertisement
22、One windy spring day, I observed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites. Multicolored creations of varying shapes and sizes filled the skies like beautiful birds dashing and dancing in the exciting atmosphere above the earth. As the strong winds gusted against the kites, a string kept them in check.
Instead of blowing away with the wind, they arose against it to achieve great heights. They shook and pulled, but the controlling string and the clumsy tail kept them in tow(牵引), facing upward and against the wind. As the kites struggled and trembled against the string, they seemed to say, “Let me go! Let me go! I want to be free!” They flew beautifully even as they fought the forced restriction of the string. Finally, one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose. “Free at last,” it seemed to say. “Free to fly with the wind.”
Yet freedom from control simply put it at the mercy of an unsympathetic gentle wind. It flew ungracefully to the ground and landed in a twisted mass of weeds and string against a dead bush. “Free at last”. Free to lie powerless in the dirt, to be blown helplessly along the ground, and to settle down lifeless against the first roadblock.
How much like kites we sometimes are. There always exist misfortunes and restrictions, rules to follow from which we can grow and gain strength. Prohibition is a necessary counterpart to the winds of opposition. Some of us pulled at the rules so hard that we never fly fast to reach the heights we might have obtained. If we keep all the commandment(戒律), we will never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground.
Let us each rise to the great heights, recognizing that some of the prohibitions are actually the steady force that helps us climb and achieve.
【1】In the passage the writer watched _____.

A.The kite itself and strange shapes.

【3】What didn’t happen to the freed kite?
A.It kept flying freely in the air.
B.It lay powerless in the dirt.
C.It was trapped in a dead bush.
D.It was blown helplessly around.
【4】What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?
A.To give up tips on how to fly kites effectively.
B.To warn us that freedom is actually powerless.
C.To explain that restrictions are really unnecessary.
D.To teach us a lesson that rules are important in life.
【5】Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

24、Dear Alan,
Guess what? I have a chance to choose my new place to live in! I’m excited and a little nervous. Could you please give me some help?
I’m not sure whether I will live in a house or in an apartment. On the one hand, a house will be too big for just one person, so maybe I should rent an apartment. On the other hand, if I rent a house, I could find someone else to share with me. The only problem is that a house full of people might be too noisy for me. I prefer to have my own space. The city has some nice apartments, but they are also too expensive. However, if I could find a two-bedroom apartment and get a roommate, that would make it more affordable. I just need to search for a roommate who is neat and quiet. You know I can’t live with someone who is loud and messy(凌乱的). I don’t have a car, so I also need to think carefully about the location. I probably need to look for somewhere near a bus stop or an underground station. That way I will have more time to study and spend less time travelling.
I’m looking forward to your reply.
Love, Victor
