Meals served in cafeterias or dining rooms that are associated with college dormitories are prepared for the dormitory residents and must meet certain government nutritional(营养的)standards as well as satisfy local (state or municipal)sanitary(卫生)requirements. The menus are more or less varied，depending on the imagination and resourcefulness of the management，the taste or demands of the student residents，and many other factors. These dining facilities are usually open only during specified meal hours each day.In contrast to this，other campus eating establishments that charge"by the meal" may be open all day and may cater to the taste of a particular clientele (students，faculty and staff，guests of the institution，etc.). Both the cost of a meal and the choice of served food will vary according to the clientele. Snack bars and food vending machines(自动售货机)provide light meals or snacks throughout the day and often remain open until late at night.31. The places where students may have their meals are_______.[A] dining rooms [B]cafeterias[C]snack bars [D] A，B and C.32. Meals served in cafeterias or dining rooms are prepared for_______.[A] dormitory residents[B] faculty members[C] all the students[D] not mentioned33. Meals must come to_______.[A] certain government nutritional standards[B] local sanitary requirements[C] under a contractual arrangement[D] A and B34. Other campus eating establishments may be open_______.[A]during specified meal hours [B]all day[C]all day and night [D] A and B.35. This passage mainly tells us about_______.[A] America colleges[B] American students[C] college food service in America[D] How to run a cafeteriaPassage 2Some students at the Open University left school 20 years ago. Others are younger but all must be at least 21 years old. This is one example of how the Open University is different from all other universities. Its students must either work full-time or be at home all day. For instance，mothers of families do not have to pass any examinations before they are accepted as students. This is why the university is called“open”. The university was started in order to help a known group--people who missed having a university education when they were young.The first name for the Open University was“The University of the air”. The idea was to teach “on the air”，in other words on radio and television. Most of the teaching is done like this. Radio and television have brought the classroom into people's homes. But this，on its own，is not enough for a university education. The Open University student also receives advice at one of 283 study centres in the country. 36 weeks of the year he or she has to send written work to a "tutor"，the person who guides his or her studies. The student must also spend 3 weeks every summer as a full-time student. Tutors and students meet and study together，as in other universities. At the end of the Open University's first year，the results were good，3 out of every 4 students passed their examinations. If they do this every year，they will finish their studies in 4 or 5 years.36. The purpose of the Open University is to_______.[A] help the young to go to school[B] help those who had missed the chance to study when they were young[C] help those who want to study in the university[D] help those who do housework37. "On the air" means_______.[A]on radio and TV [B]on the flight[C]on the show [D]on the board.38. The students of the Open University have their education_______.[A] both at home and at some study centers[B] with their written work only[C] through many kinds of examinations[D] with the help of their family friends39. "Tutor" in the second paragraph means_______.[A] the person who checks the student's work at home[B] the person who is in charge of the various kinds of exams[C] the person who is to help the students get through the exam[D] the person who inspects the students' studies40. Which of the following is implied but not stated?_______.[A] The Open University has become popular all over the world.[B] Every country needs such a university.[C] Everyone wants to go to such a university.[D] The Open University really benefits a lot those who once lost the chance to have university education.Passage 3The emergency room or “out-patient clinic” of a hospital is staffed and equipped to treat both emergencies and less serious illnesses or injuries. The fees are reasonable but will range from 30 to several hundred dollars depending on the seriousness of the illness or injury.A physician who sees a patient in the doctor's office may charge 30 to 70 for the initial visit，and 20 to 30 for subsequent (以后的) office calls. X-ray，laboratory，and prescription charges will be add to the cost of treatment.If minor surgery is necessary，the student should first determine whether it can be accomplished in the doctor's office to avoid hospitalization，an expensive and time-consuming experience. It is also advisable for the student to discuss the cost of any surgery with the doctor，in order to prepare for it financially.Necessary surgery is worth the cost，regardless of the amount，but unnecessary or "elective" surgery can upset the student's budget and schedule needlessly.41、According to the passage，which of the following cannot usually be treated at the“out-patient clinic”?[A] Emergencies[B] Minor Diseases[C] Slight Injuries[D] Serious Illnesses42. The word “range”in the second sentence of the first paragraph may best be replaced by________.[A] “include”[B] “vary”[C] “increase”[D] “divide”43. For the first office call，a physician may charge his patient_______.[A] 10 [B] 20[C] 50 [D] 20044. According to the passage，_______is an expensive and time-consuming experience.[A] having a minor surgery[B] visiting a doctor in his office[C] staying in a hospital for treatment[D] preparing for any surgery45. This passage is most probably written for_______.[A] college students[B] any kind of patients[C] doctors in the emergency room[D] physicians who overcharge patientsIV. Blanking filling.

Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.Passage oneRites of PassageSuddenly there come times when everything is different —you’re somehowanother personSeveral years ago my parents, my wife, my son, and I ate at one of those restaurants where the menu is written on a blackboard. After a wonderful dinner, the waiter set the bill in the middle of the table. That’s when it happened: my father did not reach for the bill.Conversation continued. Finally it dawned on me. I was supposed to pick up the bill! After hundreds of restaurant meal with my parents, after a lifetime of thinking of my father as the one who had the money, it had all changed. I reached for the check, and my view of myself was suddenly altered. I was an adult.Some people mark off their lives in years; I measure mine in small events —in rites of passage. I did not become a young man at a particular age, like 13, but rather when a kid walked into the store where I worked and called me “mister”. He repeated it several times, looking straight at me. The realization hit like a punch: Me! I was suddenly a mister.There have been other milestones. The cops of my youth always seemed big, even huge, and of course they were older than I was. Then one day they were suddenly neither. In fact, some were kids —short kids at that. The day came when I suddenly realized that all the football player in the game I was watching were younger than I was. They were just big kids. With that milestone went the dream that someday, maybe, I too could be a football player. Without ever having reached the hill, I was over it.I never thought that I would fall asleep in front of the television set as my father did. Now it’s what I do best. I never thought that I would go to t he beach and notswim. Yet I spent all of August at the seaside and never once went into the ocean. I never thought that I would like opera, but now the sadness and combination of voice and orchestra appeal to me. I never thought that I would prefer to stay home evenings, but now I find myself passing up parties. I used to think that people who watched birds were strange, but this summer I found myself watching them, and maybe I’ll get a book on the subject. I long for a religious conviction that I never th ought I’d want, and in arguments with my son, I repeat what my father used to say to me. I still lose.One day I bought a house. One day —what a day! — I became a father, and not too long after that I picked up the bill for my own father. I thought then it was a rite of passage for me. But one day, when I was a little older, I realized it was one for him too. Another milestone.1.When the young man picked up the bill and paid it, ____.A)he felt that his father should have paid itB)he was glad to have the chance pay the bill for onceC)he realized he was now an adultD)his father said he would pay it as he usually did so2.The man marked off his life not by the passing years but by _____.A)comparing himself with other peopleB)certain meaningful eventsC)counting the milestones of his lifeD)recalling events of the past3.When the writer was young, _____.A) he looked forward to the day when he would be like his fatherB)it seemed to him that the policeman were big and tallC)he felt bird watching was an interesting hobbyD)he couldn’t understand why his father fell asleep while watching TV4.Why didn’t the writer go swimming while he was at the beach in August?A)Because he liked going to the opera.B)Because he preferred to watch birds.C)Because he was not young anymore.D)Because he did not know how to swim.5.When the writer argued with his son, ____.A)he used the same reasons as his father didB)he always succeeded in winning the argumentsC)he sometimes managed to persuade his son to agree with himD)he seldom succeeded in winningPassage twoThe verb procrastinate comes from the Latin procrastinate, which means to postpone until tomorrow. To procrastinate, then, is to delay doing something until some future time, and a procrastinator is someone who is always putting off what he or she should be doing right now.Those of us who have a tendency toward procrastination know that it is a terrible habit. Every day we tell ourselves that we must start doing things immediately, andeach day we postpone our work, are late for deadlines, and put off keeping our promises to other people. Because we are always in the process of procrastinating, we are also always trying to catch up. We are always doing yesterday's jobs today, and tomorrow we will be doing today's unfinished work.Maybe the way to overcome procrastination is to change our habits gradually. We can start with a daily schedule of the things we want or need to accomplish. But let's be reasonable. We shouldn't crowd the list with too many tasks, and we should be realistic about what we can do. Especially in the beginning we should be lenient(宽大的, 仁慈的) with ourselves. After all, if we get discouraged at the start, we will go right back to our old habits.Finally, if we begin to follow our own schedule for each day, we will stop postponing the chores that face us. Life will become far less complicated and each day will be easier to face. We will undoubtedly feel better about ourselves, too, because we will know that we can overcome our weaknesses and improve ourselves.1.

Let's look at the following sentence:JOHN HENDERSON WAS DRIVING HOME LATE LAST NIGHT FROM AN EXHAUSTING BUSINESS TRIP.As you might have realized, this is the opening sentence of a story. It tells the reader whom the story is about -- John Henderson, and when the event takes place -- late one night, if we read carefully and thoughtfully we can also infer from this sentence that1. John Henderson may be a businessman because he has just finished a "business trip"2. John Henderson must be very tired because the trip is "exhausting"3. John Henderson must be very eager to get home because he is driving "late" at night right after this exhausting trip.Making inferences while reading will always help us achieve a better comprehension. But we should keep in mind that inferences must be made with care and supported by evidence.

All transportation and every machine in the world depend on it.(The wheel is the simplest yet perhaps the most remarkable of all inventions, because there are no wheels in nature — no living thing was ever created with wheels.) How, then, did man come to invent the wheel?Perhaps some early hunters found that they could roll the dead body of a heavy animal through the forest on logs more easily than they could carry it. However, the logs themselves weighed a lot.It must have taken a great prehistoric thinker to imagine two thin slices of log connected at their centers by a strong stick. This would roll along just as the logs did yet be much lighter and easier to handle. Thus the wheel and axle came into being, and with them the first carts.1.
