15．Chinese is your first language，your"mother tongue（舌頭）"．For most of you，English is your second language，but in the college entrance exam，English is considered just as important as Chinese-each language is worth 150points．Some educators think this is unrealistic and unfair．
On Oct.22，2013Beijing Municipal Commission of Education（北京市教育委員會(huì)） announced that，from 2016，the English scores in the senior high school entrance exam will be reduced from 120to 100．Of the 100points，the listening ability scores will add to 50．They also want to allow students to take the English test more than once so that students have a better chance to get higher scores．
Why such a change？It places the importance on Chinese in our study，and cuts students'pressure，said Li Yi，spokesman of the commission．
"The change will also push us to pay attention to the practical usage of English，"said Li．"Students will be encouraged to learn to understand English menus and read English news on mobile phones．"
There is no news that other cities will have the same change．But several places are making changes to English tests in the college entrance exams．
For example，Shandong is considering taking out the listening part of the English exam in its gaokao．
But，"Being tested for less points doesn't mean the subject can be taken lightly，"Bai Ping wrote in China Daily．
Wang Jiaming said he understood the change．"Chinese，not English，is our mother tongue，"he said．"But still，I think English is both interesting and useful．"

A．the English scores will be cut down to 100
B．the English listening ability scores will be lowered
C．the points for Chinese will be cut by 20points

6．Choose the best topic from A to F according to the meaning of each paragraph．
No one knows when the first house was built and who was the first one to built the house．But the houses are changing all the time．
（61）D．What will the house of the future look like？Could it have gardens on its walls，or a pool with fish for dinner？Architects （建筑學(xué)家） believe that they may come true one day．The only thing for sure is the houses will be as green as possible in the future．
（62）E．Many architects in the world would like to build a house like a leaf，the surface of the house collects sunlight during the day．The energy can be used to heat water，produce electricity，and even make fresh air for the room．The"root"（根） of the house is deep under the ground．It uses the soil to control the room's temperature．
（63）A．Like a lizard （蜥蜴），changing color with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house．When it's in the bright sun，the cover of the house will turn white to protect it from strong heat．During dark days，it turns dark and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy．
（64）B．This design is perhaps for the future of food．It has a garden on the outside wall of the house．People can plant tomatoes，carrots and green tea on them．So every morning，you just need to walk outside and collect your meals．
（65）C．Looking to the future isn't the only way to be green．Sometimes，the old ways of building houses can also help cut down energy use．For example，a chimney （煙囪） can be a useful air conditioner because it is easier for hot air to run out of the chimney．
A．Learning from the past            B．Meals at home
C．The lizard house                                         D．Houses in the future
E．The tree house                                           F．The history of the houses

3．School systems（制度）are different from country to country．
    Unlike us，students in Singapore．where I am studying，have a flexible （靈活） timetable．My friend Amanda is a science student．She chose Chinese literature and language，chemistry and economics．She also has to attend general paper （理解與寫(xiě)作課），project work，math and PE lesson．On Friday，Amanda only has one PE，one general paper and one economics lesson．On Thursday，however，she has six lessons．"Gloomy （郁悶的） Thursday"she said humorously．
    Lunchtimes are not fixed either．On Tuesday，Amanda has lunch at 10：30 am because she has a PE class at noon．On Thursday since the first four lessons take up the whole morning and the noon，she has lunch at 1：00 pm．The different lunchtimes solve the problem of long queues （排隊(duì)） in the student canteen．
    In Singapore students have different lessons in different classrooms while in China we have the same classroom for nearly every lesson．Walking in the school，you always see students rushing toward the next classroom，with their schoolbags on their shoulders．Sometimes the ten-minute-break seems to be too short．I remember on the first day that no sooner had Amanda and I arrived in the classroom than the bell rang．No time to go to the washroom or for snacks．
    And another discovery surprised me．Students are allowed in use calculators （計(jì)算器）in math exams!The students in Singapore calculate everything using calculators．They even use a calculator to find out the sum （總和） of 200 and 300!
    The two school systems have their advantages and disadvantages．I hope the schools in different countries can learn from each other and the world's education make progress．
56．Amanda chose studies all the following subjects exceptC．
A．chemistry        B．general paper      C．physics         D．economics

A．Ask other students                      B．Ask teachers
C．Do the sum themselves                  D．Use a calculator．
60．The passage says thatB．

With the rising popularity of kitesurfing，most major seaside cities have kitesurfing clubs．In China，Xiamen is the only place that has the kitesurfing club，which provides professional kitesurfing training and equipments．

7．Decisions，decisions!Our lives are full of them，from the small ones to the life-changing．The right to choose is central to everyone．Yet sometimes we make bad decisions that leave us unhappy or full of regret．Can science help？
Most of us know little about the mental processes that lie behind our decisions．Luckily，what psychologists are finding may help us all make better choices．Here are some of their amazing discoveries to help you make up your mind．
Consider your emotions．You might think that emotions are the enemy of decision-making，but in fact they are a part of it．Whenever you make up your mind，your brain's emotional centre is active．University of Southern California scientist，Antonio Damasia，has studied people with damage to only the emotional parts of their brains，and found that they were unable to make basic choices about what to wear or eat．Damasia thinks this may be because our brains store emotional memories of past choice，which we use to help the present decision-making．
However，making choices under the influence of an emotion can greatly affect the result．Take anger for example．A study by Nitika Garg of the University of Mississippi and other scientists found the angry shoppers were more likely to choose the first thing they were offered rather than considering other choices．It seems that anger can lead us to make quick decisions without much thinking．
All emotions affect our thinking and motivation，so it may be best to avoid making important decisions under their influence．Yet strangely there is one emotion that seems to help us make good choices．The American researchers found that sad people took time to consider the various choices on offer，and ended up making the best choices．In fact many studies show that people who feel unhappy have the most reasonable view of the world．

52．What does the underlined word"central"mean？A
A．in the middle．
B．easy to reach．
C．important．
D．having power
53．Damasia's study suggests thatB．
A．emotions are the enemy of decision-making．
B．our brain has nothing to do with decison-making．
C．people with physical damage find it hard to mak up their minds．
D．our emotional memories of past choices can affect present decisions．
54．According to the text，what may help us make better decisions？D
A．To think about happy times       
B．To make many decisions at a time．
C．To stop feeling regretful about the past．
D．To learn about the process of decision-making．
55．Why are angry shoppers more likely to choose the first thing they are offered？B
A．They often forget their past choices．
B．They make decisions without much thinking．
C．They tend to save time when shoppng．
D．They are too angry to bargain．

4．Are you worried about your teachers making too many red marks on your homework paper？Don't feel bad．Sooner or later，those red marks may become a thing of the past．
In Australia，teachers have been asked to stop using a red pen to mark students'work．Education experts say that it's not good for students'mental （心理的） health．
30schools in Australia will carry out a kit （成套方案） this month．The"Good Mental Health Rocks"kit was made to help teachers care about the mental well-being of their students．It offers a list of strategies（策略） by experts．One of them says：Don't mark in a red pen； use a different color．The kit suggests that social and mental well-being has something to do with young people's schooling．
There are also some different ideas about the kit in Australia．Some people think it is not necessary．But Health Minister Stephen Robertson said youth suicide （自殺） was a serious problem．"If mental health experts think that teachers should consider those strategies，then I'll support them，"he said．"It is not a matter for jokes，this is serious．"According to some Australian mental health groups，the largest number of people with mental illness is aged between 18and 24years．

52．What can we learn about red marks according to the first paragraph？B
A．Students like red marks on their homework．
B．The more red marks，the more mistakes．
C．Teachers hate making red marks．
D．Red marks was once stopped in the past．
53．Why are some teachers not allowed to use red marks on their students'work in Australia？A
A．Because red marks may bring students mental problems．
B．Because red means perfect．
C．Because only education experts can use red pens．
D．Because red pens are made of blood．
54．In the sentence"One of them says：…"them refers toC．
A．experts      B．students        C．strategies       D．teachers
55．What is Stephen Robertson's idea about the kit？D
A．He thinks it unnecessary．
B．He thinks it's helpful for mental illness．
C．He thinks it's just a joke．
D．He thinks it's necessary for students'mental health．
