2．Free Haircuts on a Red Chair Last summer，Katie Steller was on her way to work.She stopped at a traffic light，where a man，in his 60s，looking out of luck，was sitting alone.She rolled down her window.
"Hey!" she shouted. " I'm driving around giving free haircuts.Do you want one right now？"
The man，missing a few teeth，paused and laughed. "Actually，" he said， "I have a funeral （葬禮） to go to this week.I was really hoping to get a haircut."
Then，Steller unloaded a red chair from the car.The man，named Edward，took a seat.As Steller was cutting his curly graying hair，he told her about growing up in Mississippi，about moving to Minnesota，and how he still talked to his mom over phone every day.
To date，Steller has given 30 or so such haircuts to people around the city.They are all living on the margins，and she is aware of the power of her work.
"It's more than a haircut，" she says. "I want it to be a gateway，to show value and respect，but also to get to know people."
Steller knows that a haircut can change a life.One changed hers：As a teen，she suffered from ulcerative colitis （潰瘍性結(jié)腸炎） that was so serious，her hair thinned severely.Seeing this，her mother arranged for Steller's first professional haircut.
"To sit down and have somebody look at me and talk to me like a person and not just an illness，it helped me feel cared about and less alone，" she says.
After that，Steller knew she wanted to have her own hair salon so she could help people feel the way she'd felt that day.Not long after finishing cosmetology school（美容學(xué)校） in 2016，she realized her dream.Two years later，she began what she now calls her Red Chair Project，reaching out to people on the streets.
Steller said， "I can't fix their problems，but maybe I can help them feel less alone for a moment." Steller listens to people's stories of loss，addiction，and struggle to get back on their feet.
An offshoot of the Red Chair Project is the Steller Kindness Project，in which people who commit acts of kindness are invited for a free makeover（美容）at Steller's salon.In exchange，they tell their stories，which Steller shares on her website.Her hope is that by reading about kind acts，others will be inspired to do their own.
So far，it's working. "You have no idea what people are going to do with the kindness that you give to them，" says Steller.
（1）Edward agreed to have a haircut by Steller because.
A．he wanted to talk with Steller about his life
B．he wanted to look good for a special occasion
C．he was too old to go to a hair salon by himself
D．he was just waiting for a free haircut on the street
（2）In paragraph 5，the underlined words "living on the margins" can probably be replaced by.
A．living with little care and attention
B．living far from downtown areas
C．living with serious illnesses
D．living in untidy conditions
（3）What made Steller want to set up her own salon？
A．Her excellent haircut skills.
B．Her mother's encouragement.
C．Her experience of a formal haircut.
D．Her dream to offer people free haircuts.
（4）What's the purpose of Steller Kindness Project？
A．To make contributions to charity.
B．To encourage people to spread kindness.
C．To reward kind people with free makeovers.
D．To collect moving stories for Steller's website.組卷：0引用：2難度：0.6 -
3．GENETIC testing cannot tell teachers anything useful about an individual pupil's educational achievement.That is the conclusion of a study that looked at how well so-called polygenic scores for education predict a person's educational achievements，based on a long-term study of thousands of people in the UK. "Some people with a very low genetic score are very high performers at age 16.Some are even in the top 3 percent，" says Tim Morris at the University of Bristol，UK.
And while Morris expects the accuracy of polygenic scores for educational achievements to improve，he doesn't think they will ever be good enough to predict how well an individual will do.Even relatively simple qualities such as height are influenced by thousands of genetic variants，each of which may only have a tiny effect.It has been claimed that polygenic scores can be used to make useful predictions，such as a person's likelihood of developing various diseases.One company is even offering embryo screening（screening of an unborn baby in the very stages of development） based on polygenic scores for disease risk.
Some researchers-notably Robert Plomin of King's College London-think that schools should start using polygenic scores for educational achievement.In most cases，the scores may reflect qualities such as persistence as well as intelligence.
To assess the usefulness of polygenic scores in education，Morris and his colleagues calculated them for 8，000 people in Bristol who are part of a long-term study known as the Children of the 90s.The participants' genomes have been queued and their academic results are available to researchers.Among other things，the team found a correlation of 0.4 between a person's polygenic score and their exam results at age 16.But there would need to be a correlation of at least 0.8 to make useful predictions about individuals，says Morris.
Plomin，however，argues that the results support his opinion. "A correlation of 0.4 makes it the strongest polygenic predictor in the behavioural sciences，" says Plomin. "It's so much stronger than a lot of other things we base decisions on.So it's a very big finding."
Morris says schools already have access to other predictors that are more accurate，such as a pupil's earlier test results.Looking at parents' educational achievements is also a better predictor of a pupil's academic results than studying their genome，his results show.Providing teachers with an extra predictor based on genetics would just confuse matters，says Morris，and the cost cannot be justified.
（1）In paragraph 2，Morris talks about "height" in order to tell readers that.
A．some qualities are hardly affected by any genetic variants
B．some qualities are influenced by thousands of genetic variants
C．genetic scores are useful in predicting one's potential diseases
D．genetic scores can help children improve their scores at school
（2）How did Morris prove the effect of polygenetic scores in education？
A．By providing opposite examples.
B．By explaining how the genome works.
C．By listing findings from another scientist.
D．By presenting facts and data from research.
（3）According to Plomin，a correlation of 0.4 is reliable because it is.
A．useful in telling you how intelligent and persistent children are
B．useful in predicting people who might struggle academically
C．stronger compared to other factors in behavioural sciences
D．strongly correlated to children's academic achievements
（4）Morris suggested that schools should.
A．study every pupil's genomes
B．spend some money on genetic tests
C．know about parents' educational achievements
D．provide teachers with students' genetic information組卷：2引用：2難度：0.5 -
4．Many college students turn to ADHD（注意缺陷障礙）medicine during the exam week，which is regarded as "smart drugs" that will help their academic（學(xué)術(shù)的）performance．The thinking is that if the drugs help students with ADHD improve their focus，they should provide the same benefit for people who don't have the disorder．
But a new study shows that drugs can actually damage brain function of healthy students who take the drug hoping to boost their intelligence． "It's not a smart drug which will suddenly improve their ability to understand information they read，" said Lisa Weyandt，a professor at the University of Rhode Island．
To test whether this effect is real or not，researchers organized 13 students to take part in two five-hour study sessions（一段時(shí)間）in the lab．The students took the standard 30 mg ADHD drugs before one session，and a sugar pill before the other．Students on ADHD drugs did experience an increase in their blood pressure and heart rates． "The medicine was having an effect on their brain，"Weyandt said．The students also showed an improvement in their ability to focus，the researchers found．
However，students on ADHD drugs experienced no improvement in reading comprehension，reading fluency or knowledge reviews，compared to when they'd taken a sugar pill．"We read aloud stories to them and asked them to recall information from the stories，"she said．"That didn't improve．"
Worse，the ADHD drug actually harms students' memory．It's often misused because people pull all-nighters and they're tired，and they think it's going to keep them awake．Maybe it does，but it's certainly not going to help their academic work．The brain is still developing until the mid to late 20s．It's important to keep it healthy．There's also a chance that ADHD drugs could endanger a student's heart health．
（1）Why do some college students take ADHD drugs？
A．To improve their sleeping．
B．To get higher marks．
C．To make them feel relaxed．
D．To treat brain disorder．
（2）Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word "boost" in Paragraph 2？
A．Analyze．
B．Affect．
C．Improve．
D．Understand．
（3）What effect did ADHD drugs have on the students in the experiment？
A．They became more focused．
B．Their blood pressure was reduced．
C．Their reading fluency was greatly raised．
D．They could remember better and more quickly．
（4）Where can we read this text？
A．In a drug instruction．
B．In a biology textbook．
C．In a travel magazine．
D．In a news report．組卷：4引用：3難度：0.5

5．French Universities to Offer More Classes in English France aims to bring more foreign students to its universities by offering more classes taught in English.
France is home to famous universities like the Sorbonne in Paris and several leading business schools.（1）But it ranks（排名） behind the US，Britain and Australia in the total number of foreign students who study there.
（2）The country has seen increased competition from Germany，Russia，Canada and China.
Under the new plan，F(xiàn)rance will ease student visa requirements.（3）Starting next March，foreigners who have earned a French master's degree will be able to receive a residence visa（居留簽證）.The change is meant to help recent graduates look for work or set up a business in France.
（4）Currently，students in France-including foreign students - pay （about） 170 euros a year for a bachelor's degree and 243 euros a year for a master's degree.Officials said the low cost of education in France leads students from other countries to believe that the quality of a French education is lower than what other countries offer.Beginning in September 2019，non-European students will pay 2，770 euros a year for a bachelor's degree and 3，770 euros for graduate degrees.（5）
France will use the extra money to build better education facilities and increase the number of scholarships for foreign students.
A.Student visa applications also will be available online.
B.That's why we need to welcome more foreign students.
C.The country is a popular choice among non-English-speaking students.
D.That is still much less costly than some other European countries，however.
E.Increasing the number of foreigners studying in the country would help build French influence overseas.
F.France also plans to increase the costs for students who come from outside the European Economic Area.
G.Between 2011 and 2016，the number of foreign students studying at French universities fell by 8.5 percent.組卷：12引用：2難度：0.5
