Recently a grwing number f freign universities, such as the University f Cambridge, are accepting China's gaka results as ne f their admissin standards( 录 取 标 准 ). Is the Chinese cllege entrance exam being recgnized glbally? Fur readers share their pinins:
Cecilia Zhang(China)
The gaka is a really difficult exam. If pssible, it can be used as ne f the indicatrs( 指标) fr freign universities, in additin t ther indicatrs, such as hw well they speak the target language. The students, wh perfrm well in the gaka, als have the ability t successfully adapt t( 适应) Western styles f educatin. I believe accepting the gaka as an indicatr is a win-win fr Chinese students and verseas universities.
Wcha37(US)
In fact, gaka is perhaps much mre difficult than the SAT r ACT exams. Yu can get a perfect scre f 1600 n the SAT but nt in the gaka, partly because the SAT is a machine-scred multiple-chice exam. D yu knw anyne that has ever achieved a perfect scre in the gaka?
Harry01 (UK)
Hundreds f students frm China have entered universities in the UK I using their gaka scres which requires that their knwledge f English be abve a certain level. This measure has benefited specific grups f students frm varius backgrund s in China.
Mbursian(Canada)
In rder t attend a university in an English-speaking cuntry, a student needs t have an acceptable band scre n the IELTS. Mst imprtantly, students need an acceptable knwledge f the language spken in any cuntry they plan t study in. Nw the Chinese gaka is clser t meeting the requirements f different cuntries.

This was the first real task I received in my new schl. It seemed simple: g n the Internet and find infrmatin abut a man named Gerge Washingtn. As I searched the name, I fund that there were tw famus peple having the same name wh lked cmpletely different! One invented hundreds f uses fr peanuts(花生), while the ther led sme srt f army acrss America. I stared at the screen, wndering which ne my teacher meant. I called my grandfather fr a glden piece f advice; let the cin decide. I flipped( 掷)a cin and Ah! Tails(背面)! My reprt wuld be abut the great man wh invented peanut butter, Gerge Washingtn Carver.
Weeks later, I std in frnt f the classrm and prudly read my hmewrk. But things started t get strange. I lked arund the rm, nly t find my classmates with big smiles n their faces and tears in their eyes and my stne-faced teacher. I was cmpletely lst.“What culd be causing everyne t act this way?”
Oh well, I drpped the paper and sat dwn at my desk, burning t find ut what I had dne wrng. As a classmate began his reprt, it all became clear, “My reprt is n Gerge Washingtn, the man wh started the American War f independence.”The whle wrld became quiet! Hw culd I knw that my teacher meant that Gerge Washingtn?
Of curse, my subject result was awful. Sad but fearless, I decided t turn this arund. I talked t the headmaster Miss Lancelt, but she said firmly: N re-ds; n new scre. I felt that it was nt fair, and I believed I shuld get a secnd chance. S I threw myself heartily int my wrk fr the rest f the schl year. Ten mnths later, I sat in the headmaster's ffice again, but this time a cmpletely different cnversatin. I smiled and flashed back t the terrible mment at the beginning f the year as the headmaster tld me I was gd enugh t skip(跳 过) the 6th grade and started the 7th grade next term.
24. The task I received was t find infrmatin abut .
A. uses fr peanuts B. American War f Independence
C. Gerge Washingtn D. my headmaster Miss Lancelt 25. Peple in the class acted strangely because .
A. I was t prud f my hmewrk B. I mistk what the hmewrk was abut
C. the whle wrld suddenly became quiet D. the teacher's face turned t a stne
26. We can infer(推断) frm the passage that .
A. the headmaster didn't like the writer at all B. the writer's classmates felt sad at his mistake
C. the writer knew little abut American histry D. the writer's grandpa was a very wise man 27. Which f the fllwing prverbs can best describe the main idea f this stry?

A recent study suggests that when it cmes t the benefits f reading, just ding it matters mre than the cntent. Researchers have fund that reading nvels helps the brain develpment in understanding thers and imagining the wrld. They als have fund that peple wh spend a few hurs per week reading bks live lnger than thse wh dn't read.
But hw t build a habit f reading? Like any habit, the trick is in figuring ut what suits yu. The hardest part abut reading is actually picking up a bk. Yu have t sit dwn, pick up a bk and start reading.“I always have a bk next t wherever I put my phne,”My friend Jimmy nce tld me.“S if I want t check my phne, I physically can see the bk there. Nine times ut ften, I end up reading the bk instead f using my phne fr nthing.”
Anther challenge is time, and in that case, audibks(有声书) can be a gd chice. Audibks are great fr filling the mind while yu're n the way t wrk, washing dishes r wrking ut at the gym.
If yu're still stuck n the way t develping a reading habit, the best way is t revisit yur ld favrite bks t get yur yuthful reading pleasure. Yu shuld free yurself frm the pinin that nly imprtant r educatinal bks are wrth reading. There's n - shame in rereading the bks that made yu fall in lve with reading in the first place. Restarting the practice f reading is a little like picking up painting. It takes sme wrk t get int the best state, but nce yu begin, the results are beautiful and satisfying.
28. What is the mst difficult part in frming the reading habit?
A. Getting reading skills. B. Finding a great bk.
C. Having limited time. D. Getting reading started.
29. What is the advantage f audibks accrding t the text?
A. They are time saving. B. They prvide mre pleasure.
C. They help brain develpment. D. They ffer mre bk chices.
30. Why is rereading ld favurite bks a gd idea?
A. It helps re start reading. B. It is f great cnvenience
C. It imprves the taste fr art. D. It can increase yur patience.
31. What can be the best title fr the text?
A. Methd f killing free time B. Advantages f using audibks
C. Way t chse educatinal bks D. Tips n develping a reading habit

Last Friday, a special thing tk place at the Natinal Theater f Krea. A rbt called EveR 6 led an rchestra(管弦乐队) in a perfrmance f Krean music. Rbts have led rchestras in ther cuntries, but this was the first time ever in Krea.
EveR 6 is a rbt built by the Krea Institute f Industrial Technlgy (KITECH). It's abut as tall as a persn, and has a human-like face that can shw feelings. EveR 6 has jints(关节) in its neck, shulders, etc. As a result, it can mve its arms quickly in many different directins.
But EveR 6 desn't think n its wn like sme Artificial Intelligence prgrams. Instead, it has a limited grup
f mvements that it has been trained t perfrm. T make these mvements as natural as pssible, EveR 6’s mvements are learned frm real human cnductrs.
When EveR 6 mved its batn(指挥棒) fr the first time, a piece f music rang ut. Every mvement f the rbt's arms brught mre instruments int the mix, and the rchestra's music grew luder and mre exciting. Mr White, a human cnductr, was impressed with the way EveR 6 mved.“The rbt was able t present such difficult mves much better than I had imagined,”he said.
But the rbt still is nt nearly ready t supersede human cnductr. Mr White says the rbt's greatest weakness is that it can't hear.“Sme peple think that cnducting is just abut hand waving and keeping the beat,” says Mr White. But a gd cnductr needs t listen t the rchestra, s that he r she can crrect and encurage the rchestra as it plays.
Mr White desn't think rbts are likely t replace human cnductrs. But he believes rbts culd be helpful in situatins like practice parts where the same thing needs t be dne many times.
32. What is paragraph 2 mainly abut?
A. The effect f EveR 6. B. The advantage f EveR 6.
C. The imprtance f EveR 6. D. The basic infrmatin f EveR 6.
33. What des the underlined wrd“supersede”in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Lk frward t. B. Shw interest in.
C. Take the place f. D. Make an impressin n. 34. Which f the fllwing may Mr White agree with?
A. Rbts' rle as a cnductr will be verlked.
B. Rbts culd wrk in sme fields f cnductrs' wrk. C. Rbts are useless in practice parts f a cnductr.
D. Rbts will replace human cnductrs.
35. In which sectin f a newspaper may this text appear?
A. Science. B. Sprts. C. Health. D. Educatin.
