In England, colleges were formed to provide students with places to live. Usually each group was studying the same thing.

Your future begins here.However, you will find college life is different from your previous school environment. Many of us can be easily overwhelmed (压垮) by the details of running a well­bala nced life. While some of us may have the know­how,_I guess there are more of us who can benefit from learning about the experiences of others who have walked the college halls before you.The following you may find of use about life on campus.* Plan well. There are so many new things to do at a new college or university. Give yourself time to make new friends and become familiar with the campus, but don't forget why you are there. Give some time forsocial activities and manage your time wisely.* If you don't have a “system” for planning your time now (like a day timer, a computer data book), get one. Most of all, don't depend on your memory.* Don't miss the guidelines. The restrictions, rules and regulations of all kinds can usually be found in your student handbook. Consider them well­balanced food for thought. What dates are important? What pieces of paper need to be handed in? What can/ can't you do in class? What can/ can't you do in your student residence? Who has right for what? What do you need to complete to graduate?* Write the word “STUDY” on the walls of your bedroom and bathroom, and maybe it will help to write it on a piece of paper and stick it on the telephone, TV and the kitchen table. Consider this —you are paying thousands of dollars for your courses. You pay every time you have to repeat or replace a course.* Build your identity. This is the time for you to decide what to do and what not to do. Take as much time as you need to explore new ideas. Do not be afraid of the beyond. This is learning to make good choices.1. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To offer advice on college life.B. To explain why college life is exciting.C. To describe the importance of college life.D. To persuade you to go to college.2. According to the passage, why is it exciting to begin college life?A. Because you will have more freedom at college.B. Because you will no longer be afraid of the beyond.C. Because you will prepare for your future career and life there.D. Because professors there will provide you with many new ideas.3. The underlined word “know­how” refers to ______.A. an understanding of how things are going at collegeB. practical knowledge about how to behave and what to do at collegeC. college halls where rules and regulations are presentedD. an environment completely different from the one you're used to4. According to the passage, college students ______.A. needn't learn from those who went to college before themB. spend as much time as possible on social activitiesC. should know what they have fought for on campusD. are supposed to repeat or replace at least one course5. When do you think you are most likely to read this article?A. At the end of your senior school year.B. At the beginning of your senior school life.C. At the end of your first year in college.D. At the beginning of your life in college.Ⅲ.阅读简答(10 min.)(2012·湖南)A wise teacher once told me that every teenager needs to experience a not­so­fun first job from working at a groce ry store to the fast food industry.Now I still remember my first day at a fast food restaurant three years ago. I wanted to save up money and buy my own car, so I applied everywhere I could that summer. The restaurant called me right away and I thought to myself, this is going to be easy. Within four hours of my first shift (轮班), I had angry customers who complained how slow I was.I watched in fear as a kid spilled his milk everywhere, and I heard the words that no 16­year­old boy or anyone for that matter wants to hear: “Mike, there's a problem in the men's bathroom and you might want gloves for this one.” I realized right away that working at the restaurant was not going to be a picnic. The manager expected a clean environment and, particularly, fast service with a friendly smile.Over three years later I still work at that restaurant whenever I go home during vacations. I love my co­workers there and all the customers know who I am. Every morning the same senior citizens come in and get their morning coffees. They chat with us workers and joke around. Our smiles have just as much to do with them making us a part of their everyday lives as the coffee does.From my first job at the restaurant, I learned teamwork and devotion.I also learned staying positive no matter how rough things seem to get. I will forever carry the experience that I gained at the restaurant with me as I go forward in my life.1. Why did the author apply everywhere that summer?

Unit 1 School life一、阅读理解Taylore is a kid who passes by to ride sometimes and help us with chores. Barely 15, she’s never short of advice, and one of her favorite pastimes is teasing me about being afraid to go too fast on a horse.Last summer four of us rode down the trail behind our woods: my wife Karen, Taylore, Taylore’s friend Kendall and me. I was riding my 13-year-old, Tawny.We were two miles from home when, for some unexplainable reason, I pushed Tawny into a gallop〔飞驰〕. The other horses were anxious to catch up, and just like that, the race was on.Taylore brushed past my left leg and, seconds later, Kendall went by on my right. I realized Tawny was covering ground faster than I’d ever seen her. She strained every muscle in her body to catch up with the girls. It was like a truck winding over a mountain road without brakes (闸). Part of me felt perfectly in control, while another part screamed that I wasn’t.In half a mile I knew we’d be crossing the highway, so I prayed that the girls would be fine. I gave up calculating how long it might take before my horse would be tried enough to want to slow down.I was just about out of answers when I saw the girls slowing in front of me. Their horses were relaxed and comfortable, not even breathing hard. Taylo re’s face glowe d. She gave me a high five. ＂Wow, you did well, ＂she said. ＂I knew you’d go fast when you were ready.＂No one in the group had even broken a sweat, except me. I was still nervous from the crazy pace. My heart pounded too, but not from exercise. Karen claims I was showing off for the girls that day, and maybe she’s right. But I think I had something to prove. Because despite my wrinkles (皱纹), glasses and gray hair, I was feeling young at heart. And, like a horse on a warm summer day, I’m alw ays ready to kick up my heels.1. How did the race between the girls and the author begin?A. His horse’s gallop made the other horses want to catch up.B. He wanted to show off his riding skills for the girls.C. They wanted to know whose horse could run fastest.D. They teased him about being afraid to go too fast on a horse.2. During the race, ___________.A. the author’s horse outran the girl’s horses the whole timeB. the author was confident that Tawny was in controlC. the girls were so anxious to win that they sweated a lotD. the author’s good performance took Taylore by surprise3. When the race ended, the author’s heart pounded because ________.A. he was feeling thrilled and youngB. it was really tough exercise for himC. he was worried that the girls might be in dangerD. he felt quite embarrassed that he had lost the race4. The phrase ＂ kick up my heels＂ at the end can be replaced by _________.A. devote myselfB. enjoy myselfC. accept my challengeD. take part in running competition【文章大意】文章描述作者和两个女孩骑马比赛，这让作者感到兴奋，也感到虽然自己上了年纪，但是有一颗年轻的心。

Ms. Redler says the program teaches students to be 8.__________ serious, feel prouder of themselves, thus improving their grades. She and other teachers hope the program will help students become successful.Ⅲ.阅读理解(原创)According to guidelines by the National Education Association (NEA), a student should be assigned no more than 10 minutes per grade level per night. This means that a student in my grade should have no more than 70 minutes of homework each night. Yet this is often doubled, sometimes even tripled!As a result of too much homework, kids are developing more school­related stomachaches, headaches, sleep problems, and depression than ever before. In addition, students miss out on much active playtime, essential for learning social skills, proper brain development, and keeping off childhood obesity. Too much homework is also weakening students' curiosity, and most importantly, their love of learning. Is that really what teachers and parents want?Is homework really necessary? Most teachers assign homework as a drill to improve memorization of material. While drills and repetitive exercises have their place in schools, homework may not be that place. If a student does a math worksheet with 50 problems but completes them incorrectly, he will likely fail the test. Practicing dozens of homework problems incorrectly only cements(强化) the wrong method.However, if schools assign less homework, it would benefit teachers, parents, and students alike. Teachers who assign large amounts of homework are often unable to do more than spot­check answers. This means that many errors are missed. Teacherswho assign less homework, however, will be able to check these mistakes thoroughly. In addition, it allows a teacher time to focus on more important things. A student who is assigned less homework will live a healthy and happy life. The family can look forward to stress­free, carefree nights.Some schools are already taking steps to improve the issue. For example, Johnson­Mike Elementary School and Mason­Rice Elementary School in Newton, Massachusetts, have limited homework, keeping to the “10­minute rule”. Raymond Park Middle School in Indianapolis has written a policy instructing teachers to “assign homework only when you feel the assignment is valuable”. Others, such as Oak Knoll Elementary School in Menlo Park, California, have eliminated homework altogether. If these schools can do it, why can't everyone?So, my fellow Americans, it's time to stop the insanity. It's time to start a homework revolution.1. We can infer that the author is ______.A. a math teacherB. a worried parentC. a strict headmasterD. a seventh­grade student2. How much time does the author often spend in doing his/her homework each night?A. About 35 minutes.B. About 70 minutes.C. Over 140 minutes.D. About 250 minutes.3. What is the main idea of the second paragraph?A. Some negative effects of too much homework.B. Healthy problems caused by too much homework.C. Active playtime essential for learning social skills.D. Some positive effects of proper homework.4. According to the author, students should finish drills and repetitive exercises ______.A. during class breaksB. during school timeC. at noonD. at night5. Students don't have to do any homework at ______.A. Johnson­Mike Elementary SchoolB. Mason­Rice Elementary SchoolC. Raymond Park Middle SchoolD. Oak Knoll Elementary SchoolⅣ.阅读简答A satellite built by engineering students was sent up into space last week.Matt Bennett and his colleagues at the University of Michigan, US, made history as the first students at their college to build their own satellite and have it launched into space, according to the Detroit Free Press.It took Bennett's team two years to design, build and improve the Radio Aurora Explorer( RAX) satellite. In the past two years, Bennett devoted almost all his spare time to the research. He met with a lot of difficulties, but he was determined to go on with the research with the help and encouragement of his team.The satellite weighs only 6.5 pounds (3 kilograms) and is about the size of a loaf of bread. The satellite was designed to study space weather. Turbulent(恶劣多变的) weather often disrupts communication between ground network station andsatellites.Bennett came up with the idea for the project in a program of the American National Science Foundation, which provides funding for space weather and atmospheric research.The students involved were all undergraduates and were inspired and helped by their professors.However, Bennett said that the experience counted more than the final launch. “We got to see it come from a blueprint(蓝图) all the way to a final product，” said Bennett, the student team leader. “It's a valuable experience that few engineers get.”Bennett, now a graduate engineer, works for NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.Last week the student satellite blasted into space. It shared a ride on a 78­feet(23­meter) rocket with six other satellites which are conducting experiments for the military, NASA and universities.1. According to Matt Bennett, what is more important in building a satellite? (No more than 2 words)________________________________________________________________________2. What is Bennett's satellite designed for? (No more than 4 words)________________________________________________________________________3. Use at least three words to describe Bennett's quality?
