1．Conventional wisdom may tell you that a master's degree from Harvard Business School in the US is the key to a Fortune 500 job，while the same degree from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania，US，means a possible career on Wall Street．
It seems that the graduate school you go to somewhat decides your future．And a recent New York Times article reveals the correlation between MBA （Master of Business Administration） graduates at certain US schools and career prospects．
To work at Amazon
Ross School of Business （University of Michigan）
Amazon regularly hires more MBAs from top 10 business schools than big Wall Street firms．And a large chunk of Americans employees are from Ross．Graduate Peter Faricy，vice president of Amazon Marketplace，says the reason behind this is that Ross' curriculum-related offerings，a problem-solving course for instance，are particularly well suited to Amazon．
To work at Mc Kinsey&Company
Kellogg School of Management （Northwestern）
For an MBA，landing a job at McKinsey is like trying to get into a competitive business school all over again．However，Kellogg graduates perform well in the fierce competition．The school's MBAs are in demand at elite consulting firms，which hired 35 percent of Kellogg graduates last year，a higher percentage than at Harvard （23 percent） and Stanford （16 percent）．
To work at Apple
Fuqua School of Business （Duke）
Silicon alley hasn't always welcomed MBAs．However，two of Apple's top 10 executives come from Fuqua．Apple has hired 32 Fuqua graduates over the past five years，and provided 42 internships for Duke students．
To start your own company
Harvard Business School
The extensive resources Harvard has devoted to its entrepreneurial（企業(yè)家的） offerings in recent years are starting to show real results．By many accounts，it has surpassed Stanford as the top entrepreneurial hot-bed in the US．

2．Think "art".What comes to your mind？Is it Greek or Roman sculptures in the Louvre，or Chinese paintings？Have you ever imagined it's a dancing pattern of lights？
The artworks created by American artist Janet Echelman look like colorful floating clouds when lit up at night.Visitors could not only enjoy looking at them but also interact with them literally—by using their phones to change the colors and patterns.But are they really art？
Whatever your opinion，we cannot deny art has existed for thousands of years and art and technology have always been two separate things.
Today，however，technological advances have led to a combination of art and technology，changing the art world greatly.Now art is more accessible to us.For example，people used to queue up for six hours but spend limited time admiring the famous 5 meter Chinese painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival.Thanks to technology，however，viewers can leisurely experience a digital version of this painting，where the characters can move and interact with their surroundings.
The combination of art and technology is also changing our concepts of "art" and the"artist".Not only can we interact with art，but also we can take part in its creation.With new technological tools at our fingertips，more people are exploring new art forms，such as digital paintings and videos.
However，it has also raised questions over its overall quality.Can a video of someone slicing a tomato really be called "art"？
Similarly，such developments are making the line between art and technology less distinct.
Can someone unfamiliar with traditional artists' tools really call themselves an "artist"？And is the artist the creator of the art itself，or the maker of the technology behind it？
Where technology will take art next is anyone's guess.But one thing is for sure—with so many artists exploring new possibilities，we can definitely expect the unexpected.
（1）How could viewers interact with Janet Echelman's artworks？
A．By touching their phone screens.
B．By lighting up the artworks.
C．By talking to her on the phone.
D．By coloring the patterns.
（2）What does the example in Paragraph 4 indicate？
A．Achievements of China's technology.
B．The influence of art on technology.
C．Easier access to art caused by technology.
D．Interaction between viewers and art.
（3）What do we know about the combination of art and technology？
A．It lowers the quality of artworks.
B．It involves common people in creation.
C．It shortens the time of painting.
D．It makes scientists the real creators of art.
（4）What is the author's attitude towards combining technology with art？
A．Objective.
B．Regretful.
C．Disapproving.
D．Conservative.組卷：6引用：2難度：0.3 -
3． Everyone gathered around and Paddy read out loud，slowly，his tone growing sadder and sadder.The little headline said：BOXER RECEIVES LIFE SENTENCE.
Frank Cleary，aged 26，professional boxer，was today found guilty of the murder of Albert Gumming，aged 32，laborer，last July.The jury（陪審團(tuán)） reached its decision after only ten minutes，recommending the most severe punishment to the court.It was，said the Judge，a simple case.Cumming and Cleary had quarreled violently at the Harbour Hotel on July 23rd and police saw Cleary kicking at the head of the unconscious Gumming.When arrested，Cleary was drunk but clear-thinking.
Cleary was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour.Asked if he had anything to say，Cleary answered， "Just don't tell my mother."
"It happened over three years ago，" Paddy said helplessly.No one answered him or moved，for no one knew what to do. "Just don't tell my mother，" said Fee numbly. "And no one did!Oh，God!My poor，poor Frank!"
Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said. "Fee，pack your things.We'll go to see him."
She half-rose before sinking back，her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead. "I can't go，" she said without a hint of pain，yet making everyone feel that the pain was there. "It would kill him to see me.I know him so well-his pride，his ambition.Let him bear the shame alone，it's what he wants.We've got to help him keep his secret.What good will it do him to see us？"
Paddy was still weeping，not for Frank，but for the life which had gone from Fee's face，for the dying in her eyes.Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune，always stood between Fee and himself.He was the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children.Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee，F(xiàn)rank took it away.But Paddy's love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Frank.
So he said，"Well，F(xiàn)ee，we won't go.But we must make sure he is taken care of.How about if I write to Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank？"
There was no excitement in the eyes，but a faint pink stole into her cheeks. "Yes，Paddy，do that.Only make sure he knows not to tell Frank we found out.Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don't know."
（1）Which of the following is true according to the passage？
A．Frank was found guilty of murder because he was a professional boxer.
B．The family didn't find out what happened to Frank until three years later.
C．The jury and the judge disagreed on whether Frank had committed murder.
D．Frank didn't want his family to find out what happened because Paddy disliked him.
（2）Paddy didn't cry for Frank because he thought.
A．Frank did kill someone and deserved the punishment
B．Frank should have told Fee what had happened
C．what had happened to Frank was killing Fee
D．Frank had always been a man of bad moral character
（3）"She half-rose before sinking back…" （in Paragraph 6）shows that.
A．Fee was so heart-broken that she could hardly stand up
B．Fee didn't want to upset Paddy by visiting Frank
C．Fee couldn't leave her family to go to see Frank
D．Fee struggled between wanting to see Frank and respecting his wish
（4）What is Fee's probable relationship with Frank and Paddy？
A．Son and brother.
B．Son and husband.
C．Brother and lover.
D．Lover and husband.組卷：2引用：1難度：0.5
