阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。
A campus visit will give you a richer, more detailed view about life at your potential college than you would get from surfing the Net, browsing brochures, or watching videos. Every school has its own culture, its own unique way of doing things and something you can’t get from a brochure! Let’s look at the two major benefits o f a campus visit.
For one thing, you’ll get the feel of the type of students who attend the school. For many students, who they go to school with is just as important as where they go to school and what they study. You may think this is a concern of no account, but it’s not; your fellow students will be your peers(同伴) and friends throughout your life at school. Consider the following issues. Do the students all look alike, or is the population diverse? Do you want a college that will give you the opportunity to meet people with different backgrounds and perspectives(思考方法)? Do they look well-mannered? Are they friendly and helpful?
For another thing, you will get the feel of the academic atmosphere and whether it’s a good choice for you. Academics are the pri mary reason you’re attending college, so you want to know whether you and the school you are considering are a good academic fit. If possible, attend a class or two during your visit (make sure to arrange for this with the admissions office well in advance). If asked for your preference, request to sit in on a class that is required for all freshmen so that you will get a sense of what your first year will be like.
When you are there, keep your eyes and ears open. Are the classes huge or small? Is the teacher a full professor or a graduate student? Are students carefully taking notes? Are they asking
questions? Answer these questions and you will be able to determine whether the school is a good fit for you.
1.Why is a campus visit a better choice?
A. You can experience foreign culture.
B. You can get first-hand information.
C. You can get motivated to study harder.
D. You can form your own learning style.
2.What does the underlined phrase mean in Paragraph 2?
A. unimportant
B. particular
C. expected
D. familiar
3.What is recommended to learn of a school’s academic atmosphere?
A. Consult the admissions office.
B. Take part in academic meetings.
C. Interview the school’s freshmen.
D. Take compulsory first-year classes.

参考答案
I.单项填空
2.A 【解析】考查主谓一致。句意：大学估计，国际学生的生活费用是＄8，450左右一年，对一部分同学
来说是一个负担。第一空的主语是前面的宾语从句中的living expenses，这是一个复数名词，故用are；
第二空中，作主语是前面的which，which引导的定语从句补充说明前面的living expense for international students are around ＄8，4508 a year这一件事，所以用单数。故选A。
3.A 【解析】考查时态和主谓一致。句意为：何时何地举行会议还现在还没有决定。本句中，两个特殊疑
问词when和where指的是同一件事情，谓语动词用单数，根据yet判断本句为现在完成时，故A项正确。
7.D 【解析】考查虚拟语气。句意：他们在大会上见过许多著名的学者。我多么希望当时我能参加！根据
句意可知，事情已经发生，所以此处用虚拟语气表示对过去已经发生事情的推测，谓语部分用过去完成时。故选D。
8.B 【解析】考查虚拟语气。句意：如果我有这个机会，我会在我上大学时开办一个将会使我的同学受益
的企业。根据If I had the chance可知句中假设的情况为对现在情况的虚拟，主句应用would/ could/ might+动词原形，故选B。
9.A 【解析】考查虚拟语气。句意：当生活很艰难，你想要放弃的时候，请记住，生活充满了起起落落，
如果没有低谷，那站在高处也失去了意义。without the downs 是隐含的虚拟条件句，因为是和现在情况相反，用would do。故选A。
10.D 【解析】考查虚拟语气。句意为：人寿保险不好听，它会迫使你考虑死亡，但是如果将来死亡，它是
一个收入的可靠保证。考查虚拟语气，与将来事实相反，从句用过去时，should do 或were to do，从句中出现should可以省略if，将should提前，故D项正确。
II. 阅读理解
【文章大意】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了去大学校园参观的好处。
1.B 【解析】考查细节理解。根据第一段的＂A campus visit will give you a richer, more detailed
view about life at your potential college ...something you can’t get from a brochure＂可知，参观大学校园可以使你得到许多关于这个大学的一手信息，而这些是从翻阅资料手册等渠道了解不到的。故选B。
III.语法填空
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。如今，越来越多的90后即将进入社会，他们有着很强的自我意识，他们直率并敢于公开地与老板沟通自己的想法，正因为这样，他们深受大多数公司老板的青睐。坦率和热情是积极的情感态度，本篇文章的话题符合高考，注重发展中学生与人沟通和合作的能力。
1.on
【解析】本题考查考生根据固定搭配正确使用介词的能力。此处表示职场90后更强调要做自己喜欢做的事情。动词词组place emphasis on sth.意为＂强调……，重视……＂。
2.relaxing
【解析】本题考查考生根据语篇的意义把动词正确转化为形容词的能力。句意:许多90后希望建立令人轻松的工作关系。本空用来修饰名词短语working relationship，因此应该用形容词。动词relax的形容词形式有两种relaxed和relaxing。前者表示＂感到放松的＂，而后者表示＂令人放松的，令人轻松的＂。
3.employers
【解析】本题考查考生根据语篇的意义正确用动词转化为名词的能力。句意:超过一半的90后更喜欢随和的、脾气好的老板。根据语境可知本空应该泛指老板，因此用名词复数employers。
4.awareness
【解析】本题考查考生根据语篇的意义把形容词正确转化为名词的能力。此处表示他们有很强的自我意识。分析句子结构并结合句中的a可知，此处应用名词。
5.working
【解析】本题考查考生根据动词用法正确使用非谓语动词的能力。此处表示她说她不介意工作时间长，但是她希望老板给她一个合理的解释，比如说工作的紧迫性等。句中动词mind表示＂介意＂，其后只能接动名词作宾语，不能接不定式作宾语。
6.to explain
【解析】本题考查考生根据动词短语正确使用非谓语动词的能力。参考上题解析可知，此处表示希望老板给她一个合理的解释。句中prefer sb. to do sth.为固定搭配，表示＂宁愿某人做某事＂。
7.greatly
9.are admitted
【解析】本题考查考生根据语篇意义正确使用动词的时态和语态的能力。此处表示结果，90后很容易被大公司录取。本句陈述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时；they和admit构成动宾关系，因此用一般现在时的被动语态。
10.that
【解析】本题考查考生对强调句型的掌握情况。正是他们的直率与热情给老板们留下了深刻的印象。此处为强调句＂It is +被强调部分+that+其他部分＂，故应用that。
进步，在于总结。我在这，总结在哪儿？

Li Drake，a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband，had another reason for looking for an au pair from China：She didn't want her children to miss out on their roots.“Because I am Chinese，my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to(接触) the language and culture，”she says. “Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom，”says Suzanne Flynn，a professor in language education of children.“But parents must understand that just one year with an au pair is unlikely to produce https://www.doczj.com/doc/493686057.html,plete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12.” The popularity of au pairs from China has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children to learn Chinese.It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years. 【语篇解读】本文讲到了美国现在存在的一种趋势，即越来越多的美国人想找中国女佣照顾孩子，以利于孩子学习汉语。 1．What does the term“au pair”in the text mean?

真题研练68 Task 1：阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。 (2015·浙江，C)If humans were truly at home under the light of the moon and stars，we would go in darkness happily，the midnight world as visible to us as it is to the vast number of nocturnal(夜间活动的) species on this planet.Instead，we are diurnal creatures，with eyes adapted to living in the sun's light.This is a basic evolutionary fact，even though most of us don't think of ourselves as diurnal beings.Yet it's the only way to explain what we've done to the night：We've engineered it to receive us by filling it with light. The benefits of this kind of engineering come with consequences—called light pollution—whose effects scientists are only now beginning to study.Light pollution is largely the result of bad lighting design，which allows artificial light to shine outward and upward into the sky.Ill-designed lighting washes out the darkness of night and completely changes the light levels—and light rhythms—to which many forms of life，including ourselves，have adapted.Wherever human light spills into the natural world，some aspect of life is affected. In most cities the sky looks as though it has been emptied of stars，leaving behind a vacant haze (霾) that mirrors our fear of the dark.We've grown so used to this orange haze that the original glory of an unlit night—dark enough for the planet Venus to throw shadows on Earth—is wholly beyond our experience，beyond memory almost. We've lit up the night as if it were an unoccupied country，when nothing could be further from the truth.Among mammals alone，the number of nocturnal species is astonishing.Light is a powerful biological force，and on many species it acts as a magnet(磁铁)．The effect is so powerful that scientists speak of songbirds and seabirds being “captured” by searchlights on land or by the light from gas flares on marine oil platforms.Migrating at night，birds tend to collide with brightly lit tall buildings. Frogs living near brightly lit highways suffer nocturnal light levels that are as much as a million times brighter than normal，throwing nearly every aspect of their behavior out of joint，including their nighttime breeding choruses.Humans are no less trapped by light pollution than the frogs.Like most other creatures，we do need darkness.Darkness is as essential to our biological welfare，to our internal clockwork，as light itself. Living in a glare of our own making，we have cut ourselves off from our evolutionary and cultural heritage—the light of the stars and the rhythms of day and night.In a very
