23．（8分） Young people in the United States do not have a strong understanding of the world and their place in it.
Two US-based groups, the Council on Foreign Relations and the National Geographic Society, conducted an online survey last year. They wanted to know what young people in American colleges knew about geography, U. S. foreign policy, recent international events, and economics.
The survey was given to over 1,200 Americans between the ages of 18 and 26, all of them presently attending, or having previously graduated from. a 2- or 4-year college or university.
The average test score, out of 75 total possible answers, was 55 percent. The study identifies a few important problems. For example, only 30 percent knew that the only part of the U. S. government that can declare war is Congress. Only 60% of those taking the survey could identify Brazil on a world map.
“Part of the problem,” argue the organizers of the survey, “is the Internet.” They say it is becoming harder to find high-quality information about world events among all the fake news and trivia (琐事) which swamp (淹没) the web. Forty-three percent of those questioned said they read about the news on Facebook.
Another problem is that most college courses do not require students to learn about international issues. If such information is not required, Richard Haass from the Council on Foreign Relations said, then the United States could have leaders like Gary Johnson. He was a recent presidential candidate who did not know about the Syrian city of Aleppo when a reporter asked him about it.
The survey results were not all bad. The young people also demonstrated a good understanding of climate change and renewable energy. And the majority of them said that international issues were becoming more important to them.
Haass says these findings suggest the need to find ways to get good information for students, both in school and online. To help, the Council on Foreign Relations is creating a new program called CFR Campus, designed to help build knowledge about global issues.
1、What do we know about the survey?
A．The participants were all recent university graduates.
B．It was an online survey conducted by two US universities.
C．It was given to over 1,200 American people aged from 18 to 26.
D．It aimed to find out what the young people know about America.
2、What’s one reason the organizers of the survey give for young people’s lack of knowledge?
A．The poor quality of the US university system.
B．Young people’s unwillingness to travel abroad.
C．The sources from which they gel their information
D．Their lack of interest in knowing more about the world.
3、What topic did the young Americans understand best according to the survey?
A．Government organizations.
B．Geographic information.
C．Foreign relations.
D．Environmental matters.
4、In which part of a newspaper could we find this article?
A．Economics. B．Education.
C．National Politics. D．Entertainment.
24．（8分）JOHANNESBURG—They say cats have nine lives. Now a Chinese toad(蟾蜍) has joined that club of clever survivors.
South Africans are shocked at the endurance of a toad that got trapped in a cargo shipment from China to Cape Town, after jumping into a porcelain candlestick(烛台) that was made there. South African officials reportedly planned to put down the creature, fearing it would cause harm as an invasive species if it were let go in the wild.
But the toad got a last-minute pardon. Mango Airlines, a South African airline, transported the toad on Friday to Johannesburg for delivery to an animal shelter, after officials decided to find a way to let the toad live. The two-hour flight was a breeze compared to the trip from China, a long way of many weeks and thousands of kilometers across the Indian Ocean.
Airline spokesman Hein Kaiser said the toad got “first-class treatment”, sitting in a transparent plastic container with escort Brett Glasby, an animal welfare inspector. There was even a ceremony, in which the toad’s boarding pass was handed to Glasby.
“He was the star of the show on the flight,” Kaiser said of the amphibious(两栖的) passenger. “I think every passenger stopped to have a look.”
On landing in Johannesburg, the toad was brought out of its container for a celebrity-style photo shoot. Observers said the brown toad seemed like a cool customer. It belongs to the Asian Toad species, which breeds during the monsoon(季风) season. It is believed to have survived the trip from China by hardening its skin to prevent it from drying out, and also by slowing its breathing and heart rate—methods that help the species survive in times of drought.
“We’ve had snakes in imported timber and scorpions(蝎子) in fruit. We were called because the toad was right inside the candlestick, and we had to break it to get it out” Glasby, the inspector, told The Star, a South African newspaper.
1、What is the passage mainly about?
A． Asian toads can’t get used to the life in South Africa.
B． South Africa ignores the protection of animals.
C． An Asian toad gets a new home in South Africa.
D． Workers shipped a toad to South Africa on purpose.
2、If the toad is released into the wild, ________.
A． it will make the locals feel shocked
B． it will lose its life in the wild
C． it might flee into another country
D． it might harm the native species
3、The toad was able to arrive in South Africa alive ________.
A． because it formed hard skin to protect itself
B． because it escaped all attacks and hunts
C． because it used to stop its breath in winter
D． because it was lucky to be given a chance
4、It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A． a candlestick is the best place for a toad
B． droughts make toads live longer
C． sometimes animals are transported accidentally
D． no one has seen such a big toad in Africa
25．（10分） Kong Qiu,better known as Confucius, was born in 551 B．C．, in the Lu state of China. His teachings, preserved in " Lunyu ", focused on creating models for good behavior and setting educational standards. He died in 479 B．C．Confucianism later became the official philosophy of the Chinese empire, and was extremely influential during the Han, Tang and Song dynasties.
Little is known of Confucius ' childhood. " Records of the Historian" , written by Ssu-ma Chi’en,offers the most detailed account of Confucius ' life. However, some modem histonans question its accuracy,regarding it as myth, not fact. The book says that Confucius was born into a royal family while others say that Confucius was bom into poverty. One fact is clear, though: Confucius lived during a time of great trouble in China.
Over 2 ,500 years ago , China ' s Chou Empire began to fall apart. Warring Chinese states caused it to break down. Traditional Chinese values then began
