A
When Britain‘s great Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, was young, he attended a public school called Harrow.He was not a good student, and as a matter of fact, had he not been the son of a famous leader, he probably would have been thrown out of the school for his offences.
However, he completed his work at Harrow, went on to the University, and then had a successful career in the British Army.He later was elected prime minister and brought great courage to Britain through his speeches and other work during the dark days of World War II.
Toward the very end of his period as prime minister, he was invited to address the young boys at his old school, Harrow.In announcing the coming of their great leader, the headmaster said, 'Young gentlemen, the greatest speaker of our time, our prime minister, will be here in a few days to address you, and you should obey whatever sound advice he may give you at that time.'
The great day arrived, and the prime minister appeared at Harrow.After being introduced.Sir Winston stood up and gave this short but moving speech: 'Young men, never give in.Never give in.Never, never, never, never - in nothing, great or small, large or petty - never give in, except to convictions (信念 ) of honor and good sense.'
This speech is one of his best.Churchill went on for several more paragraphs in his speech,
but there‘s no question that the 'Never give in' speech, far and away, was what Harrow‘s students
remembered.
Some of the world‘s greatest men and women have been remembered for their great deeds but
it should be remembered how many failures and defeats marked their early life.The secret to their
success was their perseverance and determination.

A.Churchill came from a royal family.
B.Churchill was driven out of school, Harrow.
C.Churchill did not do well in the British Army.
D.Churchill led the British through World War II.
57.The underlined word 'sound' in the third paragraph probably means '___'.
A.affordable B.reasonable
C.accessible D.available
58.It can be inferred from the passage that ____.
A.successful people mostly had poor school education
B.Churchill was elected prime minister for his bravery

D.the boys of Harrow were much touched by Churchill‘s speech
59.What does the author intend to tell us in the passage?
A.Great men are sure to meet a lot of difficulties in their lives.

C.If we want to reach our goal, we shall never lose heart

Removing English from the gaokao, China‘s college entrance exam, might lower the English-learning fever in China but it helps build a fair and targeted college admission system, said a national political adviser.
To earn a good enough score in the national examination to qualify for a good university, even students applying for non-English majors have to earn high marks in the English test Yu Minhong, a member of the Chinese People‘s Political Consultative Conference, said,' Due to the large share of English scores in the gaokao (150 points), Chinese students have paid great attention to learning English, more than any other country‘s students spend on learning a second language, and the exam-oriented English education in secondary schools does little to improve student‘s practical skills of speaking and listening.'
The Ministry of Education released a draft reform plan for the gaokao for public review in December.According to the draft, students will take the English tests twice each year and their highest score will count for the gaokao.
The new method is expected to begin in 2016, but Yu said, ' It‘s more of a slight change than an actual reform, because no matter how many points it counts toward, ifs still part of the final gaokao result.Students will continue spending time and effort working on English because each point counts for college admission.Plus, multi-time tests will add an extra burden on students.
Only by excluding English from the gaokao can students decide how much and how hard they work on learning English based on what interests them.'
Sun Huiling, another CPPCC member agreed with Yu that the English assessment should be Diversified(多样化) but was cautious about removing English from the gaokao.'The existence of the English test in the gaokao has played a significant role of promoting the language among Chinese children, no matter whether in test-taking skills or practical communication,' said Sun, 'If we take it out of the gaokao, I am afraid the enthusiasm for learning English would decline as any change in the gaokao will largely affect teaching plans and curriculum setting in secondary schools.'
60.From the passage we can learn that Yu Minhong ____.
A.praises the present English education
B.is in favor of the draft reform plan
C.suggests lowering the English-learning fever
D.doesn‘t think the draft reform plan is a perfect one
61.What can be inferred from the passage?
A.English will eventually be removed from the gaokao.
B.English learning in China will no longer be important.
C.The two CPPCC members totally agree with each other.
D.A reform of English in the gaokao will take place in China.
62.What is Sun Huiling‘s attitude towards removing English from the gaokao?
A.Careful. B.Positive.
C.Negative. D.Indifferent.
63.The passage mainly talks about ____.
A.how to diversify English assessment
B.the draft reform plan for the gaokao in 2016
C.whether to remove English from the gaokao
D.how many points English should count in the gaokao

The findings have been gathered from a survey of 2,000 healthy women volunteers.Study leader Professor Aedin Cassidy, from the University of East Anglia, said, 'This is one of the first large-scale human studies to look at how these powerful compounds might reduce the risk of diabetes. We found that those who consumed plenty ofanthocyanins (花青素) and flavonoids (抗氧化物) had lower insulin resistance.'
'High insulin resistance is associated with Type 2 diabetes, so what we are seeing is that people who eat foods rich in these two compounds - such as berries, herbs, grapes, - are less likely to develop the disease.'
'We also found that those who ate the most anthocyanins were least likely to suffer long-lasting swollen pain, which is associated with many of today‘s most pressing health concerns including diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular (血管) disease and cancer.'
Professor Tim Spector, director of the Twins UK Study at King‘s College London, who took part in the research, said, 'This is an exciting finding that shows that some kinds of foods that we consider unhealthy like chocolate or wine may contain some beneficial substances. If we can start to identify and separate these substances we can potentially improve healthy eating.'
'There are many reasons including genetics why people prefer certain foods so we should be cautious until we test them properly in randomized trials and in people developing early diabetes.'
