International students are allowed to work for the university they study at or for a business at the school. But the business must directly provide a service for students. You could work at the bookstore, for example, but not for a company that is building something at the school. Also, a foreign student cannot take the place of an American in a job.
International students can work 20 hours a week while having classes; more during school breaks. You can work until you finish your studies.
International students normally cannot take a job that has nothing to do with their school. But the government may give permission if students are suddenly faced with difficulties. Examples include large medical bills, the shortage of financial (财政上的) aid or an unexpected change in the financial support.
Students must also meet other conditions (条件). They must have studied at their American school for at least one year. Students must ask for permission again after a year if they want to continue an off-campus (校外的) job.
International students who will be studying at graduate school can apply (申请) for some jobs before they come to the United States. A good example is a university job like a teaching or research assistant.
Some schools pay their assistants. Others provide free education in return. Many do both. Graduate assistants might teach, give tests, grade work, help with research and clean the offices. Many universities now provide language training for foreign teaching assistants to help them improve their English. Some schools ask foreign students to pass an English speaking test before they are allowed to teach.
International student offices at schools have to provide information on students each term for the Department of Homeland Security. Students who violate visa (签证) rules — for example, by working off-campus without permission — could be sent home.
1.What can we learn according to the passage?
A. All the international students can work for large companies.
B. International students are able to work whenever they like.
C. International students may be allowed to work outside the school when having financial trouble.
D. International students must have studied at their American school for less than a year to get a job.
2.We may infer from the passage that ____.
A. international students could apply for some jobs before coming to the US
B. all the schools pay their assistants and provide free education for them
C. international students cannot take their jobs before having language training
D. international students normally are not completely free to choose their jobs
3.The underlined word “violate” in the last paragraph probably means ____.
A. ask for B. go against C. forget D. obey
4.What is the passage mainly about?
A. The rules about getting a job while studying in the US for international students.
B. The reason why international students like studying in the United States.

Last week, our school had organized an activity to climb the West Mountain. As soon as we arrived at the foot of a mountain, we set out for the summit in high spirits. During the climb, we had such much difficulty passing the rocky areas. But under the teacher’s help, we eventually reached the top, where we greeted by the bright sunshine and fresh air. Seeing from the top, the city was extreme beautiful. This event turned out to be very success. Not only did we take a break from our heavy school work, and also we learned what to communicate with each other.

请认真阅读下列短文, 并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意: 每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。
For thousands of years, the most important two buildings in any British village have been the church and the pub. In fact, until a place has a church and a pub，it isn’t really considered a community worthy of a name. Traditionally, the church and the pub are at the heart of any village or town, since it is where people gather to give and receive news. In fact, the word ‘ pub' is short for public house.
That's how it used to be, but things are beginning to change. It is said that the credit decline is causing 39 British pubs a week to go out of business. People don’t have lots of spare money to spend on beer. Recently, the UK government banned smoking in all pubs, and that may also have affected the number of customers going to pubs.
This decline is happening despite the fact that in recent years the UK government has started to allow pubs to stay open after 11 p. m. Previously, with 11 p. m. as closing time, customers would have to drink quite quickly, meaning they sometimes got more drunk than they would if allowed to drink slowly. The British habit of drinking a lot very quickly is known as “binge drinking “, and it causes some long-term health problems for people and problems with violent crime for communities. The UK government is changing the law to discourage binge drinking, and regularly spends money on television advertisements to warn people of the problems of drinking too much.
In order to save their businesses, pubs are trying to change with the market. Now, there are a number of different types of pubs.
As you can see, British pubs now offer something for everyone. A lot of pubs used to be
working men' s clubs, meaning that women could not usually enter. Today, however, women can freely enter 99% of pubs without experiencing any problems. Perhaps things are changing for the better after all.
Topic | The 1.___of British Pub Culture? |
The 2.___role of churches and pubs in people' s daily life in the UK | ?People won't name an area 3.___there is a church and a pub. ?They are the places where people gather to share news. |

On a Saturday morning earlier this September, the world got its first look at the Strati. This electric vehicle is unlike any 
other currently on the road. It rolls on four wheels, but its body and chassis(底盘) weren’t built in a factory. Instead, Strati’s designers used a technology called 3-D printing. It created those parts of the car in one piece, from the ground up.
“Compared to a typical vehicle on the road, the Strati definitely looks different,” says Greg Schroeder, a senior research engineer at the Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor, Mich. He did not work on the new car. His organization studies trends and changes in the auto industry.
It took 44 hours to print the new car at the International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago. Over the next few days, the car’s designers installed additional parts. These included the car’s engine, brakes and tires. Then, early on September 13, Jay Rogers climbed into the car, started its engine and drove the vehicle onto the street. Rogers helped found Local Motors. It’s the Arizona-based company behind the Strati. Two weeks later, his team printed a second Strati, and just as fast, at a fair in New York City.
Justin Fishkin, a local Motors official, sees the Strati as a window into the future. Today, car buyers are limited in their choice of a vehicle. They can order only what car companies have already designed. But in the future, he says, you may be able to design your own car online and then get it printed to order.
Manufacturing experts say 3-D printing has begun to revolutionize how they make things. The technology has been around for decades. But these machines used to be so expensive that only large companies could afford them. In the last few years, though, that has changed. Many of the machines are now inexpensive enough for small companies—or even individuals —to own. Some local libraries make them available to the public. High Schools are beginning to use them in classrooms. Wide access to these printers means people can now design and print a wide variety of new things.
The car’s printer is a one-of-a-kind device.
The technology behind the 3-D printer used in Chicago is an example of additive manufacturing. This process builds solid objects, slice by slice, from the bottom up. (“Strati” means layers, in Italian.) A mechanical arm moves a nozzle from one side to another, back and forth. As it moves, the nozzle deposits a liquid—often melted plastic or metal (but it could be food, concrete or even cells) —that quickly hardens or bonds to become solid or semi-solid. This creates a single, thin layer. Once a layer is complete, the printer starts depositing the next one.
“There’s a lot of interest in 3-D printing in the auto industry,” says Schroeder. Right now, the technology is particularly useful for building models of cars or car parts.
To compete with current auto manufacturers, the 3-D printer would have to increase in a hurry, Schroeder says. By contrast, he notes, a Ford F-150 pickup truck rolls off an assembly line at a rate of roughly one per minute. To print as many Stratis would require many more printers. Schroeder says he doesn’t see 3-D printing soon taking over for such high-volume manufacturing. But, he adds, “Who knows what will h
appen in the long term?”
Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee designed the 3-D printer used in Chicago. Lonnie Love, a research scientist at the lab, led the effort.
Additive manufacturing often is slow and expensive. It also may produce materials that are unreliable, Love says. So for two years, his team searched for ways to make 3-D printing better. They built new machines and tested them over and over.
All of that work paid off: their new machine is fast and uses less expensive material than earlier printers. In addition, it prints a plastic embedded with fibers of carbon to produce a stronger material. This helps ensure the material won’t crack or break under pressure.
1.Which of the following statements about the first Strati is TRUE?
A. It was born in a car factory in Chicago.
B. All parts of it were not made by using a technology called 3-D technology.
C. It is a pity that it has not run on the street so far.
D. Many senior research engineers worked on it, including Greg Schroeder.
2. What can we infer from Paragraph 
5?
A. Large companies are always rich enough to buy expensive things.
B. Now High Schools are beginning to use 3-D printers in classrooms.
C. Wide access to 3-D printers has made it possible for people to order novel things online.
D. High prices of new products can stop them from being used widely in the beginning.
3.What does the word “nozzle” in Paragraph 7 possibly refer to?
A. A single, thin layer.
B. A part of the 3-D printer.
C. A solid or semi-solid object.
D. A person who operates the machine.
4. Why did Lonnie Love make efforts to improve 3-D printing with his team?
A. Because additive manufacturing might produce unreliable materials.
B. Because he just was interested in making new things.
C. Because he just wanted to build new machines and test them
D. Because additive manufacturing is always slow but inexpensive.
5.Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?
A. 3-D Printers Are Coming
B. 3-D Printers Are Becoming Well- Known
C. 3-D Printers Are Becoming Cheaper
D. 3-D Printers Are Making Cars

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、和 D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Picking a university is a tense period of asking yourself which institution is most relevant. That's why university rankings play such a vital role in students searching for their next academic direction. Rankings are also an inescapable part of the reputation and brand image of universities. "No university website is complete without the claim to be in the top 100 for something or other," reported the BBC. The reason is simple: Rankings help them to attract students, staff and research investment.
Currently there are numbers of university rankings, and each has its own list of standards. But the main standards are the same: academic reputation, graduates' performance and faculty(教师) resources.
However, experts point out the ranking process isn't entirely reliable. Mark Kantrowitz, a US financial aid researcher, said university rankings were mostly just for show. He wrote in The New York Times. “It may give your parents better bragging(炫耀) rights, but that's about it.”
Moreover, it's not difficult to see the limitations of university rankings. Many rankings focus on the number of times research work is cited (引用) by other researchers. It helps British and US universities to dominate (支配) global rankings because English is the favored language of academia, John O'Leary, a member of the QS academic advisory board, told The Guardian.
Also, rankings such as QS mainly focus on the qualities of the university rather than its students. “Any university ranking is likely to help students make better decisions about where to study, but the need to balance them with other more human factors is also important,” said Phil Moss, an education and admissions consultant.“Advice from graduates or current students can be as valuable in providing a genuine insight(洞察) into the experience or quality of a particular degree program. It can also add an element that rankings can never convey---the actual emotion of a university experience.”
1.Why do universities consider rankings important?
A. Rankings make them more appealing.
B. Rankings are students' only reference.
C. Rankings can increase their academic level.
D. Rankings help them complete their websites.
2.What does the underlined "It" in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Academic research work.
B. The number of researches.
C. The way of ranking universities.
D. The limitation of university ranking.
3.According to John O'Leary, what helps British and US universities rank well?
A. The wide use of English in academia.
B. Their outstanding qualities.
C. Their graduates' excellent performance.
D. The academia's favor to them.
4.Besides ranking, what does Phil Moss suggest you should refer to if you're picking a university?
A. Investment in education.
B. Guidance from professors.
C. Information on websites.
D. Suggestions from students.
