The essays are the one area in which students can make themselves stand __50__. Essays don't have to be big and complicated. I wrote three essays, all __51__ on small matters and using simple sentences.

In my two minor essays, I __58__ the major events of my life, why I loved writing and why my dad is the person who has the greatest influence on me. Both provided details of my character. The essay about writing, which is titled, “I Shall Not Live in Vain” (__59__ by an Emily Dickinson poem), earned a lot of praise.

The prestigious (久負(fù)盛名) Peking University and Tsinghua University held graduation ceremonies on the same day this year. The presidents of the two universities delivered excellent speeches at the ceremonies as they used words, phrases or ways of expression that are very popular on the Internet currently. At the same time, graduation speeches by other university presidents were also under the spotlight for the same reason. Their speeches were warmly welcomed by students as they contained many fashionable words today, such as "floating clouds" ( meaning "too small and of little importance to mention") and "gelivable" (meaning " very helpful") . In the speeches , these university presidents recalled campus life together with students and finally moved all the audiences. They were very different from the usual run of lectures.
Many university presidents have changed their regular manner of addressing graduation ceremonies from an advising and preaching (說教) mode to a more fashionable and funny approach. They try to use those words popular among young people in their speeches.
In the past, university presidents' speeches were criticized for being too standard and lacking sentiment. Now , they quote fashionable words in their addresses, reflecting they are starting to adopt more everyday attitudes to students. The use of these new expressions has triggered a heated discussion. It focuses on the question of whether university presidents should speak in an informal way at graduation ceremonies.
Supporters agree with the new approach. They consider it good to build close ties with students by using the youth's own words. Opponents argue the new ways have no practical value or significance for education but are merely to please those leaving university.
小題1:What would be the best title for this passage?
A．Should University Heads Use Terms of Youth
B．Must University Presidents Learn to Please Students
C．Must University Presidents Meet Students' Needs
D．Should University Heads Use Newly-created Words
小題2:What can we infer from the passage?
A．University presidents consider it good to build close ties with students.
B．More and more students are eager to make speeches in public.
C．The new ways of making speeches are popular with the young.
D．University presidents have special opinions about the world.
小題3:What dose the underlined word "triggered " in Paragraph 3 probably mean ?
A．Break offB．Set offC．Sum upD．Focus on
小題4:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．Many people are likely to be influenced by the Internet.
B．The writer thinks it necessary for us to follow the traditional customs.
C．More and more words are changing with the development of technology.
D．People argue about whether to use fashionable words on formal occasions.

Paparazzi, or "paps", are photographers who take pictures of famous people when they are not at the center of public attention. Paps are different from professional photographers or journalists because they never take ordinary photos.
The goal for paparazzi is to get pictures that no one else will get and then sell the pictures to the buyer who offers the most money —normally a small newspaper, magazine or website.
There is no law against paparazzi taking pictures in public places. However, there are laws that protect certain individuals. For example, child protection laws stop improper (不合適的) pictures of anyone under 16 from being published.
There is also no law that stops paparazzi from following celebrities (名人) and taking their pictures either. However, if paps are secretly following them and taking pictures of their faces, they could get into trouble.
Most paparazzi hang out on streets and hot spots for celebrities, waiting for the opportunity to take a picture of a star. Many stay on the streets until the early hours of the morning when celebrities are leaving nightclubs and looking a little worse for wear. However, some have other ways to make sure they get pictures. Many paps are in contact with "informers" who know the locations of celebrities at any given time. They then pass the information on to paparazzi. An informer could be anyone —from a restaurant waiter to a salesman.
Most of the time, paparazzi get a bad reputation for following celebrities. But sometimes stars or their managers will contact paps themselves and tell them exactly where and when they will go.
What a love-hate relationship between paparazzi and celebrities!
小題1:Which of the following things paparazzi might do would be against the law?
A．Taking pictures of famous people in public places.
B．Getting unsuitable pictures of a 10-year-old actress published.
C．Following a famous woman singer secretly and taking her pictures.
D．Hanging out at the places where celebrities often appear.
小題2:In order to earn big money a pap has to ________.
A．get the only first-hand pictures
B．sell the pictures to a big newspaper
C．make friends with famous people
D．know the locations of celebrities
小題3:The fifth paragraph mainly tells us ________.
A．how paparazzi get the pictures
B．how dangerous paparazzi’s job is
C．how much paparazzi pay for the pictures
D．how paparazzi contact informers
小題4:What can we infer from the passage?
A．Paparazzi always take pictures when famous people are tired.
B．Stars hate paparazzi and don’t want to be followed.
C．Paparazzi and famous people rely on each other sometimes.
D．Informers might get paparazzi into trouble.
