I'll never forget that " very important meeting" with a guidance counselor（咨询顾问）during my senior year of high school． I gladly and dutifully shared my dreams, and was looking forward to hearing his life﹣changing advice on how best to achieve my academic and professional goals for the future． He told me that I was not college material and that "________His advice did change my life, though not in the way he expected﹣because I didn't follow it． I didn't even consider it． By trying to put limitation on my future, he made me even more determined to pursue（追求）a college degree and a career of my choice．At that moment in my eighteenth year, I took charge of my life． I decided what kind of college I wanted to attend ﹣ one that was small, personal and would foster my enthusiasm and interests． I searched through many resources until I found the one for me: Endicott Junior College, then a women﹣only college in Beverly, Massachusetts． When I visited Endicott, it felt like home, and my choice was made． It was the only college Ivisited, applied to, and was interviewed by．I was accepted into Endicott for the fall term and immediately knew it was the right school for me． After studying subjects ranging from English to early childhood education to psychology and art, I graduated with an associate degree in advertising． Then I went to one of the state universities． I decided to get my Bachelor's degree ﹣ and I did, while holding two part﹣time jobs． Now, when my little girls tell me they want to do this or that, I always tell them that I'll be right there for them, doing everything in my power to support them in making it happen． Because I know dreams really do come true．（1） What does the underlined sentence indicate？________A The author could work in a secretarial school．B The author might be more suitable to be a secretary．C The author was good at communicating with others．D The author was encouraged to receive higher education．（2） What can we learn about the author from the passage？________A She worked part﹣time after graduation．B She got her Bachelors degree at Endicott．C She was satisfied with her choice of Endicott．D She visited many colleges before picking Endicott．（3） Which of the following can be best used to describe the author？________A Stubborn and ambitious．B Brilliant and supportive．C Creative and hard﹣working．D Determined and strong﹣minded．（4） What is the theme of the passage？________A The best choice is the one that fits you．B School education is of great importance．C Everyone should hold on to their dreams．D Honest advice is always difficult to take．2. Picture this: Your boss asks you to make a last﹣second trip to a city a few hundredmiles away for a meeting tomorrow morning． So how do you get there?You could take an early﹣morning regional flight, but frequent delays on small carriers might mean you risk missing your meeting and spending more time in the airport than in the air． You could spend a few hundred bucks on a train ticket, but don't expect to get much sleep ahead of your meeting． You could also drive your own car, but that means traffic jams and a tiring night on the road．Tom Currier calls it the "500﹣mile problem" and now, the Silicon Valley entrepreneur and his partner, Gaetano Crupi, say they have a solution． It's called n "Cabin" ﹣a double﹣decker（双层公共汽车）, luxury bus line with Wi﹣Fi, a cozy waiting room and sleeping rooms that offer the comfortable pressed sheets．Cabin began making overnight trips between Los Angeles and San Francisco last month． There is nothing particularly creative about packing people into a bus and moving them from one place to another after dark． But Currier argues that the company's stress on providing passengers with a good night's sleep separates Cabin from other forms of transportation．He says it allows the company to profit from the Silicon Valley's belief that a growing number of people will jump at any convenient opportunity to avoid driving as society begins to consider autonomous modes of transportation． He compares the overnight bus ride to " teleportation（远距传输）"． "We're taking these 300 ﹣ 500miles' trips and turning them into an experience where you're basically checking into a hotel in one city and then checking out of the hotel in another city, " Currier says． " And when you combine our service with Uber and Lyft in our destination cities, you're replacing the need for having a car entirely．"（1） What does the "500﹣mile problem" in Paragraph 3 refer to？________A How to avoid traffic jams during rush hours in big cities．B How to finish the 500﹣mile overnight journey by car．C How to choose a suitable transportation for trips．D How to get to another city overnight．（2） In what way is Cabin special？________A It offers all the comforts of home．B It creates a good sleeping atmosphere．C It is designed for long﹣distance trips．D It is equipped with high﹣tech facilities．（3） What can we conclude from Currier's words？________A Cabins might reduce the sales of cars．B Overnight bus rides are common in the US．C Currier plans to work together with Uber．D Cabin's service is of the quick and simple variety．3. This week, a mammoth（猛犸象）possibly killed by humans 10, 000 to 15, 000 years ago was found in soy fields about 50 miles west of Detroit．It was found by farmer James Bristle and his neighbor Trent Satterthwaite, who were reportedly digging in the fields． At first, they couldn't figure out what they were seeing．"It was probably a rib bone that came up, n Bristle told The Ann Arbor News． '' We thought it was a bent fence post． Upon closer inspection, however, it became clear even to the untrained eye this was no fence post． "We knew it was something special． " Then theysped up the dig．After finding the bones on Monday night, Bristle called the University of Michigan on Tuesday morning to report his find． Scientist Daniel Fisher arrived to inspect it on Wednesday, and by Thursday morning he had confirmed it's a woolly mammoth． He concluded the animal was about 40years old when it died． It was hunted by humans, he said, who killed it and stored the remains in a pond as a way of preserving the meat for future use． " It's still too early to tell exactly how it died, " Fisher told Detroit's WWJ﹣TV, "but the skeleton（骨架）shows signs of．human's butchering． ''The bones are being temporarily stored nearby, according to the Detroit Free Press, and it remains unclear where they'll eventually end up． Their research value will be determined once theyVe been cleaned and dried．Woolly mammoths once lived in Eurasia and North America, and most disappeared10, 000 years ago ﹣ demise（死亡）that has been linked not only to humans, but also to changing climate． It's now believed that warming weather weakened their populations before humans ________（1） What can we know about the mammoth according to the passage？________A It might die in its 40s．B It was native to Eurasia．C It preferred wandering in the fields．D It mainly died from climate change．（2） Daniel Fisher may hold the opinion that________．A the bones are well worth researching．B the mammoth was killed by the butcher．C identifying the bones was a waste of time．D the newfound site has evidence of human activity．（3） What does the underlined part "dealt the final blows" in the last paragraph mean？________A Take their life．B Dry their bones．C Destroy their home．D Preserve their meat．第二节（满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．4.
