Students are able to complete two courses per semester by taking one seven-week course at a time.Professional ConnectionsMany of the AU faculty (教员) who teach online have connections to industry, so the online

An online advertisement.BKyle Cassidy and three other members of the Annenberg Running Group were stretching (伸

13、展) on the grounds of the University of Pennsylvania, waiting for a few latecomers. The Penn colleagues and other community members meet three days a week for a roughly 30-minute jog and an occasional lecture. Thats right during some runs, one of them delivers a talk. Topics range from the brain to B

14、itcoin.But on this day last January, it would not be their normal run. The first clue that something was off was the man who sprinted past them. “Running at an amazing pace,” Cassidy told Runners World admiringly. Cassidy discovered why the sprinter was so fleet of foot when another man ran by, yell

15、ing, “Help! He took my phone and laptop!”At that, the group did what running clubs do: They ran, trailing the suspect down the streets of Philadelphia until he ducked into (躲进) a construction site. The runners split up. Cassidy ran around to the far side of the site to cut the thief off while the ot

16、hers wandered the neighborhood hoping he had dumped the loot (赃物) in a backyard.No luck. So they decided to ask residents whether theyd seen the guy. When they knocked on the door of one row house, they were in for a surprise. Unknown to them, he had already emerged from the construction site and wa

17、s hiding behind a bush by that very house. As the owner opened the door, the suspect darted out from behind the bush . and right into the arms of campus police, whod joined the chase shortly behind the runners.The members of this running group are not hard-core athletes. But they do understand the b

18、enefit of a little exercise. “Running is typically a useless sport where you turn fat cells into heat,” Cassidy told The Philadelphia Inquirer. “But occasionally it can be useful, and here was one of those opportunities.”14.Why do the group members gather together?A. To do some stretching.B. To have

19、 a regular run.C. To deliver a lecture.D. To cover some topics.15.What does the underlined word “sprinted” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Dashed. B. Pushed.C. Jumped.D. Escaped.16.We can infer that the success of the chase is mainly due to _.A. the assistance of the runnersB. the owner of the row h

D. Thoughtful and demanding.CFor a generation now, school reform has meant what students must be taught a

21、nd carried out by standardized tests.Heres a thought experiment. Suppose that next year almost every student passed the tests. What would the reaction be from people? Would they shake their heads in respect and say, “Damn, those teachers must be good!?”Of course not. Such remarkable success would be

22、 used as evidence that the tests were too easy and it needs to raise standards. “High standards” really means “standards that all students will never be able to meet”. My little thought experiment uncovers a truth that we have been taught to respond with doubt whenever all members of any group are s

23、uccessful. In America, success doesnt count unless it is got by only a few.Consider widespread complaints about grade inflation (膨胀) in higher education. Many people dont even bother to stress that grades have risen over time. They simply point to how many students get As right now. The goal, in oth

24、er words, isnt to do well but to defeat other people who are also trying to do well. Grades in testing should be used to announce whos beating whom. A schools final task, apparently, is not to help everyone learn but to prepare the game so that there will always be losers.This makes no sense in any

25、situation. Perhaps, for example, we can defend rating states or nations based on the quality of their air, health care or schools, but ranking them is foolish. School testing ranking doesnt lead to improvements in performance but tends to hold us back from doing our best. It makes productive teamwor

26、k less likely and leads all concerned to focus not on meaningful improvements but on trying to beat everyone else.Most of all, it encourages the false belief that excellence is a zero-sum game. It would be more reasonable to rescue the spirit of the concept: Everyone may not succeed, but at least in

Excellence is regarded as a rare thing. D. Students dont meet the test standards.19. What does the writer think American schools seem to

28、do?A. Promote teachers to teach better.B. Remove the belief of beating others.C. Help all students do well at school.D. Ensure the existence of failures.20. What is the writers attitude towards schools testing ranking?A. Sympathetic. B. Ambiguous.C. Disapproving. D. Unconcerned.21. What is the best

30、tworks. However, despite great efforts, scientists had been unable to determine the source of folium, a popular blue dye used to color manuscripts (手稿) in Europe during the middle ages from the 5th to the 15th century. Now, a team of researchers from Portugal has finally uncovered the mysterious ing

31、redient responsible for the gorgeous blueish-purple color that helped bring ancient illustrations and texts to life.The research team began by pouring over instructions penned by European dye makers from the 12th, 14th, and 15th centuries. They found what they were seeking in a 15th-century text ent

32、itled The Book on How to Make All the Color Paints for Illuminating Books. However, translating the instructions was no easy task. It was written in the now extinct Judaeo-Portuguese language, and though the source of the dye was traced back to a plant, no name was mentioned.However, by piecing toge

33、ther suggestions from the text, the scientist were able to determine that the dye was made from the bluish-green berries of the chrozophora tinctoria plant. After an extensive search, the team found a few varieties of the plant growing along the roadside near the town of Monsaraz in south Portugal.

34、The detailed instructions gave the researchers critical clues including the best time to pick the berries. “You need to squeeze the fruits, being careful not to break the seeds, and then to put them on linen (亚麻).” The scientist says the detail was important since broken seeds polluted the pigment,

35、producing an inferior quality ink. The dyed linen, which was left to dry, was an efficient way to store and transport the pigment during ancient times. When needed, the artist would simply cut off a piece of the cloth and dip it with water to squeeze out the blue color.Once the key ingredient had be

36、en identified, the researchers began to determine the dyes molecular structure (分子结构). To their surprise, they found that folium was not like any other known permanent blue dyes it was an entirely new class of color, one they named chrozophoridin. “Chrozophoridin was used in ancient times to make a

37、beautiful blue dye for painting.” the team wrote in the study. “Thus, we believe that this will not be our final word on this amazing plant and its story and that further discoveries will follow soon.”22. The primary purpose of the study is to _.A. restore and conserve ancient precious artworksB. de

38、termine the substance making up the foliumC. prove the ancient dye-making technique was organicD. identify which class of color folium belongs to23. The underlined phrase “poring over” in the second paragraph means _.A. discussing publiclyB. testing repeatedlyC. passing directlyD. reading carefully2

39、4. What can be learned about the blue dye folium?A. It was essentially an inferior type of ink.B. It was the only kind made from wild berries.C. It could be carried and used easily.D. It was carefully squeezed from broken seeds.25. The article is mainly about _.A. how the mystery of a thousand-year-

40、old blue dye was solvedB. why the researchers took the trouble to recreate the dyeC. what needs to be done to make an organic dye from a plantD. when and where the discovery of the dye was made三、七选五（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能够填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Going through life is easier when you

43、keep your eyes open. Be wary (小心的) of praise from people who you pay, like counselors, teachers, coaches, etc. Whether true or not, their saying nice things about you or your work increases their chances of keeping your money coming. Beware of revealing your weaknesses or past errors. 29 But other t
