2.I used to live in Southern Africa and recently went back to Botswana to visit the Central Kalahari Game Reserve with my friend Oscar.Why?Because there's nothing quite like the vast African wilderness…
Our jeep moved slowly along the too-hot-to-touch sand.With no air conditioner and an engine which might break down at any time,it was tough work.The dry heat was fierce and the only break came from using our precious water for brief bucket showers.
With no supplies available within the park-it was a sort of no man's land which was inhabited by the occasional cow - it is necessary to bring all your fuel,food and water with you.
We camped in a small place in the center of the woods.At the height of the dry season,leaves in the trees had all fallen down,shade was in scant supply,so we placed ourselves near a leaf less tree.As the sun set,we drove towards the watering hole a few miles away,and were reminded just why we'd chosen to spend weeks suffering this exercise on ourselves.A lone lion paused his lapping to acknowledge our arrival.He yawned,and then carried on drinking.
That night,sleeping on the roof of the jeep,we felt his shouting as much as heard it.Those vast African skies offered the only indication that the outside world hadn't come to a state of quietness,as bright satellite whipped across the blackness.
In the morning we saw that the lion had walked in the road overnight,his paw prints pressed into yesterday's tyre tracks.
We set off for another morning inching through the sand;another day of changing landscapes and raw,wild beauty;another night lit by shooting stars.

3.There're currently 21.5 million students in America,and many will be funding their college on borrowed money.Given that there's now over ﹩1.3 trillion in student loans on the books,it's pretty clear that many students are far from sensible.The average student's debt upon graduation now approaches ﹩40,000,and as college becomes ever more expensive,calls to make it "free" are multiplying.Even Hillary Clinton says that when it comes to college, "Costs won't be a barrier."
But the only way college could be free is if the faculty and staff donated their time,the buildings required no maintenance,and campuses required no utilities.As long as it's impossible to produce something from nothing,costs are absolutely a barrier.
The actual question we debate is who should pay for people to go to college.If taxpayers are to bear the cost of forgiving student loans,shouldn't they have a say in how their money is used?
At least taxpayers should be able to decide what students will study on the public dime.If we're going to force taxpayers to foot the bill for college degrees,students should only study those subjects that're of greatest benefit to taxpayers.After all,students making their own choices in this respect is what caused the problem in the first place.We simply don't need more poetry,gender studies,or sociology majors.How do we know which subjects benefit society?Easy.
Average starting salaries give a clear indication of what type of training society needs its new workers to have.Certainly,there're benefits to a college major beyond the job a student can perform.But if we're talking about the benefits to society,the only thing that matters is what the major enables the student to produce for society.And the value of what the student can produce is reflected in the wage employers are willing to pay the student to produce it.
A low wage for elementary school teachers,however,doesn't mean elementary education isn't important.It simply means there're too many elementary school teachers already.
Meanwhile,there're few who're willing and able to perform jobs requiring a petroleum engineering major,so the value of one more of those people is very high.
So we can have taxpayers pick up students' tuition in exchange for dictating what those students will study.Or we can allow students both to choose their majors and pay for their education themselves.But in the end,one of two things is true:
Either a college major is worth its cost or it isn't.If yes,taxpayer financing isn't needed.If not,taxpayer financing isn't desirable.Either way,taxpayers have no business paying for students' college education.
(1)In the author's opinion,free college education is
A.impractical
B.unsustainable
C.a goal to strive for
D.a way to social equality
(2)What should students do if taxpayers are to bear their college costs?
A.Work even harder to repay society.
B.Choose their subjects more carefully.
C.Choose majors that will serve society's practical needs.
D.Allow taxpayers to participate in college administration.
(3)What does the author say about the value of a student's college education?
A.It is underestimated by profit-seeking employers.
B.It is to be proved by what they can do on the job.
C.It is well reflected in their average starting salary.
D.It is embodied in how they remove social barriers.
(4)What message does the author want to convey in the passage?
A.Students should think carefully whether to go to college.
B.Taxpayers should only finance the most gifted students.
C.The worth of a college education is open to debate.
D.College students should fund their own education.組卷:6引用:4難度:0.5

There was no sign that the earthquake was coming.
A 7.8 magnitude (震級) quake almost flattened the city,killing over thousands of lives in less than a few minutes.
In the midst of destruction and chaos,a father left his wife securely at home and rushed to the school where his son Daniel was supposed to be,only to discover that the building was as flat as a pancake.
After the upsetting shock,he remembered the promise he had made to Daniel: "No matter what,I'll always be there for you!" And tears began to fill his eyes.He looked at the pile of ruins that once was the school.Everything looked hopeless,but he kept remembering his commitment to his son.
He began to concentrate on where he walked his son to class at school each morning.Remembering his son's classroom would be in the back right corner of the building,he rushed there and started digging through the stones and bricks.
As he was digging,other anxious parents arrived,heartbroken,shouting desperately: "Mary!" "Sam!"
Some other well-meaning parents tried to pull him off what was left of the school,saying: "It's too late!" "They're dead!" "You can't help!" "Go home!" "Come on!There's nothing you can do here!" "You're just going to make things worse!"
To each parent he responded with one line: "Are you going to help me now?"
And then he continued to dig for his son,stone by stone.
Some firefighters showed up and tried to pull him off the school's ruins,saying, "Fires are breaking out,and explosions are happening everywhere.You're in danger.We'll take care of it.Just go home!" To which this loving,determined father asked, "Are you going to help me now?"
The fire chief replied, "You're angry and worried.I get it.But you are not helping by staying here.Just go home.We will help you find your son!" To which he replied, "But I promised my son I'll always be there for him."
