20．In Britain and other countries，young people sometimes take a"gap year"，a year off between high school and college．This idea never gained a big following in America．Recent news reports have suggested that interest may be growing，though there are no official numbers．
Charles Deacon，．Dean of Admissions at Georgetown University in Washington，D．C．，estimates that in the current first-year class of 1，600students，only about 25decided to take a year off．He says this number hasn't changed much over the years．
Mr．Deacon says the most common reason for taking a"gap year"is to have a chance to travel，but he says international students may take a"gap year"to meet requirements at home for military duty．
Some high school graduates see a year off as a chance to recover after twelve years of required education，but it can also give students a chance to explore their interests．Students hoping to be doctors，for example，could learn about the profession by volunteering in a hospital．
Many colleges and universities support gap-year projects by permitting students to delay their admission．Expels say students can grow emotionally and intellectually as they work at something they enjoy．
The Harvard admissions office has an essay on its Web site called"Time Out or Bum Out for the Next Generation．"It praises the idea of taking time off to step back，think and enjoy gaining life experiences outside the pressure of studies．It also notes that students are sometimes admitted to Harvard or other colleges partly because they did something unusual with that time．
Of course，a gap year is not for everyone．Students might miss their friends who go on directly to college，and parents might worry that their children will decide not to go to college once they take time off．Another concern is money．A year off，away from home，can be costly．
Holly Bull's job is to specialize in helping students plan their gap year．She notes that several books have been written about this subject．She says these books along with media attention and the availability of information on the Internet have increased interest in the idea of a year off，and she points out that many gap-year programs cost far less than a year of college．

32．What is the passage mainly about？A
A．It is likely that taking a"gap year"is becoming popular in America．
B．More and more American students are choosing to take a year off．
C．If you want to go to an American university，take a gap year first．
D．Americans hold different opinions towards students'taking a"gap year"．
33．How many reasons for students'taking a"gap year"are mentioned in the passage？C
A．2．
B．3．
C．4．
D．5．
34．The essay"Time Out or Bum Out for the Next Generation．"suggests thatB．
A．every student must take a"gap year"before applying for a famous university
B．some famous universities encourage students to gain more life experiences
C．taking a‘gap year'Can make students free from life learning
D．the stress of studies does harm to the students'health
35．What can we learn from the passage？B
A．Charles Deacon doesn't support the idea of the students'taking a"gap year"
B．Parents might disagree with the program，concerned about their children's future．
C．Books and media have contributed to the students'interest in school learning．
D．Experts agree taking a year off will benefit the students emotionally and physically．

2．Tang Xianzu and William Shakespeare were contemporaries （同代人），who coincidentally died in the same year．
Japanese scholar Aoki Masarut was the first to draw a link between the two in his 1943book A History of Chinese Literary Thought．Yet，dying in the same year，1616，is not reason enough to put them together．
Scholars who specialize either in Tang or Shakespeare are looking for similarities between the two as the anniversaries （周年） of their deaths are marked in the United Kingdom，China and around the globe．
"Tang Xianzu was not China's Shakespeare，"said Chen Guohua，a professor at Beijing Foreign Studies University，striking a rare discordant（不和谐的） note．"He was just China's Tang Xianzu．Nobody in the English-speaking world can hold a candle to Shakespeare，and Tang was just one of the greats of Chinese drama．Guan Hanqing and Wang Shifu were equally skillful．"
Both Tang's and Shakespeare's plays were meant for the stage，but they served different audiences．Shakespeare was a professional dramatist while Tang was a civil servant who happened to pen a few plays and thousands of poems．Tang's lines were sung mostly at family theaters at a time when noblemen and retired officials were patrons （赞助人） of the arts who owned and ran their own entertainment troupes．Shakespeare，the English Bard （吟游诗人） had to sell tickets to whoever would buy them．
That probably affected their writing styles．While Tang's language is extremely difficult and the rhymes （韵律） come on like hurricanes，it is a wonder that Shakespeare's vast vocabulary could be understood by those in the Globe Theatre back then．And given that the Bard's subject matter runs such a wide range，most people，whatever their tastes，could take away something．
Though no one can touch the Bard in range and richness，there is one area where Tang shines，and that is in the use of dreams，not only as a plot device but also a philosophical tool．His quartet of plays （四梦） all built on dreams，often indicating that life is empty and all the demand for power eventually amounts to nothing．
In The Peony Pavilion （牡丹亭），his most famous play，Tang raised the dream to a higher level that Sigmund Freud would have recognized．It is the subconscious （潜意识） world of the major characters，especially Du Liniang，the noble young lady who whiles away her youth in a gilded cage．It is not a traditional love story because she had not seen or known the young man．
Of all Shakespeare's works，the dream features in A Midsummer Night's Dream．The forest near Athens is similar to the family garden in The Peony Pavilion，a neighboring quarter that sets free the desires of the young．
For the ending，Pavilion brings sadness that is absent from Shakespeare's Dream．But lyricism and earthy humor are present in both plays．And both tales can be sung or danced because they lend themselves to other forms of performing arts．Pavilion，intended as an opera，has also been chaned into plays but has been less successful．
They both represent peaks in culture，but we should stop from measuring which peak is higher and focus on what's unique about each of them instead．And the comparison of Tang and Shakespeare can serve as a point of departure for meaningful conversations about art，literature and cultural inspirations，rather than being an end in itself．
65．What can we learn from the first three paragraphs？C
A．Tang and Shakespeare died for the same reason．
B．Tang and Shakespeare were born in the same year．
C．The four hundredth anniversary of their deaths is in 2016．
D．Scholars first put Tang and Shakespeare together in 1616．
66．What Chen Guohua said suggests thatA．
A．Tang was no match for Shakespeare in plays
B．Tang was more famous than Shakespeare in China
C．Guan Hanqing and Wang Shifu were greater than Tang
D．Shakespeare was only famous in the English-speaking countries
67．Tang and Shakespeare served different audiences becauseD．
A．their plays were meant for the stage
B．they were in different countries
C．the prices of the tickets were different
D．they had different cultural backgrounds and status
68．According to the passage，which of the following is Tang's writing style？B
A．His language is easy to understand．
B．His plays are full of philosophy．
C．His plays have a wide range of themes．
D．The vocabulary in his plays is vast．
69．What can we learn about The Peony Pavilion and A Midsummer Night's Dream？C
A．They were both intended as operas．
B．They got the same success as plays．
C．The forest and the family garden played the same role．
D．Sadness was present in A Midsummer Night's Dream．
70．By writing the passage，the writer mainlyD．
A．compares Tang's life with Shakespeare's
B．introduces the works of Tang and Shakespeare
C．calls on people to read the works of Tang and Shakespeare
D．draws readers'attention to the features of Tang and Shakespeare．

17．People with mentally taxing jobs，including lawyers and graphic designers，may end up having better memory in old age，research suggests．
A study of more than 1，000Scottish 70-year-olds found that those who had had complex jobs scored better on memory and thinking tests．
One theory is that a more stimulating environment helps build up a"cognitive reserve"to help buffer the brain against age-related decline．The research was reported in Neurology．
The team，from Heriot-Watt University，in Edinburgh，is now planning more work to look at how lifestyle and work interact to affect memory loss．Those taking part in the study took tests designed to assess memory，processing speed and general thinking ability，as well as filling in a questionnaire about their working life．
The analysis showed that those whose jobs had required complex skills in dealing with data or people，such as management and teaching，had better scores on memory and thinking tests than those who had done less mentally intense jobs such as factory workers，bookbinders，or carpet layers．
While the study did not look at biological reasons for the protective effect of certain jobs，potential explanations include that structural changes within the brain mean less damage is accumulated over time．
Study leader Dr Alan Gow said："Our findings have helped to identify the kinds of job demands that preserve memory and thinking later on．""However，"He added，"while it is true that people who have higher cognitive abilities are more likely to get more complex jobs，there still seems to be a small advantage gained from these complex jobs for later thinking skills．"
Dr Simon Ridley，head of research at Alzheimer's Research UK，said the study added to the growing evidence about factors that affected brain health as we aged．
"Keeping the brain active throughout life could be helpful and different types of work may play a role．However，it's important to note that this study points to a small and subtle association between occupation and later-life cognition rather than offering proof that people's occupation has a direct influence．"

36．According to the research，who may have the best memory in old age？B
A．Taxi drivers．
B．Computer programmers．
C．Supermarket cashiers．
D．Motor mechanics．
37．Which of the following about the research work is TRUE？D
A．The research team studied both environmental and biological factors．
B．The researchers filled in a questionnaire about their working life．
C．The research objects included people from various jobs and of different ages．
D．The research is helpful to the study of brain health and is still under way．
38．What Dr Alan Gow said implies thatC．
A．their findings are helpful to identifying the kinds of job demands
B．people who do more complex jobs may benefit later thinking skills greatly
C．there exist links between job demands and preservation of memory
D．he didn't confirm the links between complex jobs and later thinking skills
39．We can learn from Dr Simon Ridley thatA．
A．different occupations may make a difference in keeping the brain active
B．people's occupation has a direct influence on later-life cognition
C．the study added more evidence about the factors affecting aging
D．the study denied the association between jobs and later-life memory
40．What is the best title of the passage？B
A．Aging affects brain health
B．Complex jobs may protect memory
C．Occupations influence aging
D．Complex jobs demand complex skills．
