13、ession. In our noncredit classes, we set aside grades so that you can fully commit to your growth as a well-rounded student. Class sizes typically range from 14 to 18 students to encourage interactive learning. Living at Harvard When you attend the Pre-College Program, youll live in a historic under
14、graduate house, near Harvard Square. You will be with your fellow Pre-College students, resident directors, and proctors who provide support. Youll also enjoy meals in one of Harvards dining halls, which are a short walk from Harvard Yard and provide many options for a variety of dietary needs. Thri

BIn 2011, the old style Malta buses were taken off the road and replaced by modern vehicles. Most of the old buses were deserted, a few were sold, and about 100 of
19、them were put into storage in the hope of showing them in a museum at some stage. A pre-2011 visit to Malta wouldnt have been complete without a ride on one of the colorful buses. Until 1973 you could tell the destination of the bus just by looking at its color Sliema was green and white, Zabbar was
20、 red and white with a blue stripe(条纹)etc. . Later, the buses all had numbers. For a while, they were all painted green and white before the final orange, yellow and white. In their prime, walking around the Triton fountain at the Valletta bus station, you would have found it very 高三英语试卷 第 4 页 （共 9 页
21、）difficult to see two buses of exactly the same design. Most of them had locally built bodies. On the front of the buses carried names like Dodge, Leyland, Bedford etc. . You were equally likely to find football pennants(锦旗)and the like decorating the cabs. Real bus experts would have recognized tha
22、t these were there mainly for decorative reasons, and were seldom an accurate reflection of the vehicles origins. Nowadays much more modern buses are to be found at the Floriana bus station. They are more environmentally friendly and possibly even more comfortable than the older types. However, I mi
23、ss the old buses. I remember, when you boarded your bus, you had to prepare the correct change to pay the usually bad-tempered driver as you got on. If you were seated anywhere near the front, you would have noticed that most drivers sat well to the right of their steering wheel. The reason for this
24、, as any Maltese would tell you, was to leave space for their pet to sit alongside them. I wonder where the pet sits these days. 24.

Environment-friendly. C. Safe. D. Memorable. CParents tend to favour children of one sex in certain situati
27、ons or so evolutionary biologists tell us. A new study used colored backpack sales data to show that parental wealth may influence spending on sons different from daughters. In 1973 biologist Robert Trivers and computer scientist Dan Willard published a paper suggesting that parents invest(投入)more r
28、esources, such as food and effort, in male children when times are good, and in female children when times are bad. According to the Trivers-Willard hypothesis(假说), a son given lots of resources can become a gentleman but parents with few resources tend to invest them in daughters, who generally fin
29、d it easier to be a fair maiden. Studying parental investment after birth is difficult, however. The new study looked for a standard of measurement of such investment that met several criteria: it shouldnt be affected by sex differences in the need for resources; it should measure investment rather
30、than outcomes; and it should be objective. Study author Shige Song, a sociologist at Queens College, City University of New York, examined spending on pink and blue backpacks purchased in China in 2015 from a large retailer, JD. com. He narrowed the data to about 5, 000 bags: blue backpacks bought b
31、y families known to have at least one boy and pink ones bought by families known to have at least one girl. The results showed that wealthier families spent more on blue than pink backpacks suggesting greater investment in sons. Poorer families spent more on pink packs than blue ones. The findings w
32、ere published in Evolution and Human Behavior. Songs evidence for the Trivers-Willard hypothesis is “indirect” but “pretty convincing,” says Rosemary 高三英语试卷 第 5 页 （共 9 页）Hopcroft, a sociologist at the. University of North Carolina at Charlotte, who was not connected with the new study. Hopcroft repo
33、rted in 2016 that U. S. fathers with high-status occupations were more likely to send their sons to private school than their daughters, while fathers with lower-status jobs more often enrolled their female children. Although the new study does not prove the families were buying the blue backpacks f
34、or boys and pink ones for girls, Hopcroft notes that “its a clever and interesting paper, and its a rather unusual use of big data.”28. What does the writer intend to do in Paragraph 2?A. Introduce an earlier study. B. Identify childrens needs. C. Assess the influence of a study. D. Explore into par
35、ental investment. 29. What offers a challenge for the new study?A. The investment meeting several criteria. B. The measurement of eventual outcomes. C. Different demands for resources between sexes. D. Consistent standards in measuring parental investment. 30. What can be learned from Songs research
36、?A. The new study was done in 2015. B. Big data was sampled for research. C. Preference was offered to consumers. D. Blue packs were favored over pink ones. 31. Which of the following is likely to match Hopcrofts remark on Songs research?A. Its entertaining. B. Its well-designed. C. Its unbelievable
37、. D. Its unusual. DOn September 10, 2018, Jack Ma, founder and chairman of Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba, announced his successor(继任者 )at the company he founded 19 years ago. Surprisingly, in a country where 70 to 80 percent of private companies are still family run, Mr. Ma did not name a family
38、member. Rather, one of the worlds largest e-commerce companies will be led by Daniel Zhang, an 11-year Alibaba old hand chosen only for his “professional talent.”The history of many countries can be marked by a trend away from dependence on family succession in business, or the belief that qualities
39、 of leadership flow through bloodlines. Ma is a true innovator(创新者)in many ways, most famously for building an innovative online shopping market worth more than the economies of most countries. But his legacy(遗产)may lie in showing how China as well as much of Asia can produce founders of successful
40、organizations unwilling to pass the torch to relatives. “Alibaba was never about Jack Ma,” he stated in announcing his succession plan. Instead, the former schoolteacher who came from lowly origins is stepping back from day-to-day operations because he has built a system that takes root in a company
41、 culture based on innovation, transparency, and responsibility. “For the last 10 years, we kept working on these ingredients,” he stated. The companys future will depend on developing a wealth of talent that drives innovation, he said. And in a society with a long tradition of cautious distrust towa
42、rd those outside the family circle, Ma has built an “architecture of trust” with customers, who number over half a billion. Chinese now readily rely on Alibabas online payment system, its ratings of products and services, and other trust-building systems or methods pioneered by the company. Chinas r
43、apid growth now produces a new billionaire almost every day. Many of them, like Ma, have favored systems of management based on talent and honesty. As many countries have discovered as they progress, it is 高三英语试卷 第 6 页 （共 9 页）better to swim in a talent pool, not a gene(基因)pool. 32. What do we know a
44、bout Daniel Zhang from the passage? A. Hes a talented professor. B. Hes an experienced manager. C. Hes a successful founder. D. Hes Chairman of Alibaba. 33. Where does Mas legacy lie in? A. Becoming a successful innovative founder. B. Casting doubt on traditional succession plan. C. Providing creati
45、ve answers to succession problems. D. Representing trends towards non-family-run companies. 34. What seems to be the recipe for the companys future success? A. Trust-building methods. B. The “architecture of trust”. C. A culture of talent development. D. The latest successful innovations. 35. What c

48、snt even magic but just a bad trick. 37 I tossed the coin over and over, and after two weeks of this my mom got a carpet sample from the hardware store and placed it under the mirror to remove the sound of the coin falling again and again. I had heard my dad work through passages of new music on the
49、 piano, so I knew how to practice slowly, deliberately, going for preciseness rather than speed. 38 It did not look like a magic trick. It looked like a miracle. 39 Everyone went crazy.
