If you are just a freshman or don't know many people, don't hesitate to approach some upperclassmen in your classes or clubs. More often than not, upperclassmen have more experience with renting and are more familiar with the area your school is in.Another good idea is to talk to seniors who are currently living off- campus. These seniors' landlords will most likely be looking for new tenants (房客) after graduation.Also, registered realtors(房地产经纪人)might be able to find you a place for a fee. In addition, Facebook groups can also provide some useful information. 3 .RoommatesHaving roommates can not only save us some money, but also give us valuable com- panionship. However, remember that finding the right roommates for you is the most important thing, other than safety concerns. 4 , definitely do not lie about your preferences, schedule, or habits, even if talking about them could make you uncomfortable. On the other side, also remember to ask your potential roommates to tell you about themselves in detail.5 ,please do everybody a favor by being upfront about it.

题型针对练(三)——段中句类Passage1(2021河南洛阳三模)Can you tell the difference between a glass of regular and diet soda?1.That’s where the trouble starts.Until recently,everything we ate contained some amount of calories.So when we drink diet soda,the sweetness tricks our body into thinking it’s real sugar but when those energy-packed calories don’t arrive,the insulin in our brain has nothing to store.2.It’s called metabolic syndrome,which is a mix of conditions that includes increased blood pressure,high blood sugar and weight gain which can increase the risk of diabetes,heart disease and stroke.While drinking diet soda with the meal may sound like a tasty calorie free alternative to plain water,this may be the worse time to drink it because the cheating calories in the diet soda could finally destroy the real calories we metabolize.3.Another problem could be the fact that artificial sweeteners in diet soda can be 10s to 100s of times sweeter than sugar.4.It’s like when you go to a party expecting loads of food and you end up with a handful of vegetables.You’re left unsatisfied and hungry.In the same way,artificial sweeteners can leave our brains wanting more,which leads to increased appetite and potential weight gain.5,maybe just stick to water.A.Turns out,neither can your bodyB.No,this was diet soda and it was awesomeC.When you go to a party expecting loads of foodD.That drinking diet soda is associated with a diseaseE.So if you’re drinking diet soda to drop a few poundsF.And it potentially leaves extra calories behind we then store as fatG.So when we taste it,our brains expect more calories than what we give itPassage2(2021安徽黄山二模)The Secrets of Successful Listening“When people talk,listen completely.” Those words of Ernest Hemingway might be a pretty good guiding principle for many managers,as might the saying by Zeno of Citium,a Greek philosopher,“We have two ears and one mouth,so we should listen more than we say.”1Some firms use a technique known as a “listening circle”.2 In such a circle,only one person can talk about the issues they face at a time and there is no interruption.A study cited in the Harvard Business Review found that employees who had taken part in a listening circle then suffered less social anxiety and had fewer worries about work-related matters than those who did not.Listening has been critical to the career of Richard Mullender,who was a hostage (人质) negotiator,dealing with everything from suicide (自杀) prevention to international crimes.He defines listening as “the identification,selection and comprehension of the key words”.3 Plenty of people think that good listening is about nodding your head or keeping eye contact.But that is not really listening,Mr.Mullender argues.A good listener is always looking for facts,emotions and indications of the speaker’s values.Another important point to bear in mind is that,when you talk,you are not listening.The listener’s focus should be on analysis.4 One approach is to make an assessment of what the other person is telling you and then check it with them (“It seems to me that what you want is X”).5 The fundamental aim is to build up a relationship so the other person likes you and trusts you,Mr.Mullender says.A.It is vital to all effective communication.B.However,a listener needs to speak occasionally.C.For people like listening to others.D.That gives the other party a sense that they are being understood.E.Therefore,a listener shouldn’t just listen.F.In it participants are encouraged to talk openly and honestly.G.For people like being listened to.Passage3(2021广东珠海二模)Does the topic of saving money make you feel a little guilty?You have good intentions when it comes to saving money,but something always comes up.1 But in reality,you’ll only start saving money when you learn healthy money habits.There are plenty of practical ways to save money and breathe some fresh air into your budget.·Say goodbye to debt.Debt robs you of your pocket money!So,it’s about time you got rid of that debt.2This is where you pay off your debts in order from smallest to largest.Once your income is freed up,you can finally use it to make progress toward your savings goals.·Ask about discounts.You never know until you ask—and you should always ask.Next time you’re getting tickets at a movie theater,museum or sporting event,check to see if they have any special discounts for students.·DIY...everything!3 Usually,the cost of materials and a simple search will save you a ton of money on your latest home project.When you need to do some DIY work,borrow what you need from your friends instead of going out and buying it.·4Ouch.This one is painful—we get it!But instead of spending $5 on your daily latte,you can save money by just making your coffee at home.Listen,we’re not saying you should only drink instant coffee.But even purchasing a bag of local coffee beans from your neighborhood coffee shop and making it at home will save you a lot of money in the long run.Remember:It really doesn’t matter how much money you make.5A.Skip the coffee shop.B.Make your drinks at home.C.Why not save time by buying new things,instead of DIY ones?D.What matters is how you spend and save the money you make.E.Before you pay for a new thing,think about doing it yourself!F.The fastest way to pay off debt is with the debt snowball method.G.The school requires new textbooks,or your friend’s birthday is coming.Passage4(2021贵州贵阳二模)It’s important to develop strong study skills in high school so that you can be prepared for any continuing education or training after you graduate.1By repeating them,you will create a new study habit and that will result in improved learning and grades.2Update it as the term goes on.Make sure you have all the materials with you that you might need.Develop a calm attitude.3Nobody learns anything straight away.Set up small rewards for reaching goals.Remember that it takes time to develop a new habit,so set small achievable study goals and reward yourself for reaching them.4Review the information you’ve learned.By creating repetition,you strengthen the memory of what you’re studying.Take frequent breaks during your study time.Short bursts of studying are proven to be more effective than hours of cramming.Get up and stretch,clear your mind and relax your muscles before returning to the books.Using thinking skills effectively.5If you’re not a good thinker,start now by developing habits that make you ask yourself questions as you read.Talk to other students who you feel are good thinkers.Ask them what it is they do when they think critically or creatively.Oftentimes,you can pick up valuable insights to help you become a better thinker.A.Be calm and patient with yourself.B.For that repeat the following study habits daily.C.Obviously,a good habit benefits you all life long.D.This helps keep you motivated and feeling positive.E.At the beginning of a term,prepare a Term Calendar.F.Good thinkers see only dead-ends where others see possibilities.G.Good thinkers see possibilities where others see only dead-ends.答案与解析题型针对练(三)——段中句类Passage1【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。

I saw many of our nation’s treasures, and I also saw a lot of unfortunate people like beggars and homeless folks in the streets.Standing outside the Ronald Reagan Center, I heard a voice say, “Can you help me?” When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended(伸出). In a natural reaction, I reached into my pocket, pulled out all of my loose change and placed it inher hand. I didn’t even look at her. I was annoyed at being bothered by a beggar.But the blind woman smiled and said, “I don’t want your money. I just need help finding the post office.”Immediately, I realized what I had done. I acted with prejudice(偏见)—I judged another person simply for what I thought she was.The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant. I left Honduras and arrived in America at the age of 15. Through the years, I have been a dishwasher, cashier, mechanic and pizza delivery driver among many other jobs, and finally I became a network engineer. In my own life, I have experienced many open acts of prejudice. I remember a time, at age 17— I was a busboy, and I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well at school, he would end up like me.But now, living in my American middle-class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget my past, to forget who I am and where I have been, and to lose sight of where I want to be going.

We can infer all of the following statements from the passage EXCEPT ______.A. He disliked being bothered by beggars.B. He was delighted to give away his money to beggars.C. He once suffered a lot.D. The blind woman didn’t beg fo r money at that time.4. What does the author want to tell us through this story?A. Don’t dream up ways to get what you want.B. Money is the root of all evils.C. An easy life makes a person forgetful.D. Be good to others all the time.3、Earthquakes are something that people fear. There are some places that have few or no earthquakes. Most places in the world,however,have them regularly (有规律地)).Countries that have a lot of earthquakes are usually quite mountainous.The earthquake which was talked about most in the United States was in San Francisco in 1906. Over 700 people died in it. The strongest one in North America was in 1964. It happened in Alaska.Strong earthquakes are not always the ones that kill the most people. In 1755,one of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded was felt in Portugal. Around 2,000 people died. In 1923,a very strong earthquake hit Tokyo,the Yo-kohama area of Japan. One hundred and forty thousand people died. Most of them died in fires which followed the earthquake. One of the worst earthquakes ever was in China in 1976. It killed a large number of people.The worst earthquake ever recorded was also in China, in which about 80,000 people were killed or injured. This earthquake happened in 2008.Earthquakes worry people a lot. The reason is that we often do not know when they are coming. People can not prepare for them.1.Earthquakes happen .A.in all the places in the worldB.only in the countries that have a lot of mountainsC.regularly in most places in the worldD.only in a few places along the mountains2.When and where was the worst earthquake ever recorded?A.1964; Alaska.B.2008;ChinaC.1923; Japan.D.1976;China.3.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A.The stronger the earthquake is, the more people are killed.B.Earthquakes can cause fires.C.People still don’t know when an earthquake will come.D.Earthquakes often come unexpectedly (出乎意料地).4.What may be talked about in the paragraph followed?A.How do earthquakes worry people?B.What will people do to prepare for earthquakes?C.How can we save people when earthquakes happen?D.How do earthquakes happen?4、A new study has found that social media could be affecting the sleep of young adults.The study is a project of researchers at the University of Pittsburgh's School of Medicine. They found that young people who often use social media are more likely to suffer from sleep disorders than those who use social media less. The researchers say doctors should ask young adults about their use of social media when treating sleep issues.“This is one of the first pieces of evidence that social media use really can influence your sleep.” said Jessica C Levenson. She was the lead author of a report on the study.The researchers set out to examine the connection between social media use and sleep among young adults.. Levenson noted that these young adults are possibly the first “generation to grow up with social media. ”The researchers wanted to find out how often young people used social media sites like Face book, Twitter, Credit and Tumbler. For the study, they gave questionnaires to nearly 1,800 adults, aged 19 to 32. On average, members of the study group used social media sites one hour a day. They also "visited various social media 30 times per week. ”Thirty percent of the study's participants reported having serious problems with sleeping.

Wang Dianxue, 27, is an Internet engineer at Beijing Push Marcom Group. His co-workers always complain that their computer systems are not working properly. “I ask about the specifics and work together withthem⑨(fix) everything technically.” he said.HR managers believe that when staffs complain, it is more a matter of recognition than a n actual problem. “The real problem is that the whiners don’t feel they are being taken seriously,” said Xu Jun, HR manager at Guangqi Honda Automobile Co., Ltd.“⑩(give) them advice or perspectives attentively and the problem will usually disappea r.”8、假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。

You can do anything that you put your mind and your heart to,” she said.Alena is the youngest African American person to get into a US medical school, and the second-youngest person overall.Alena didn’t just wake up one day and decide to go to the medical school while in middle school — she’s a child genius. By the time she was 11 she’d already taken several high school courses. When Alena turned 12, she graduated from high school and is currently enrolled (注册) in online classes at Arizona State University.If all goes to plan for Alena, she’ll start studying to be a doctor at age 15, in 2024, and graduate when she’s 18 when other kids her age are preparing for their freshmen year at college. Although she’s so young, age is “not a big deal” to her and she is just a normal kid.She explained, “I’m in honors choir, I’m in cheerleading and I play soccer. I hang out at the mall with my friends like a 13-year-old does, and I also go to the movies and go swimming with them. I’m very structured and very disciplined.”4.Why does the author mention the high schoolers’ college application?A.To show how fortunate Alena is.B.To explain high schoolers’ difficult life.C.To present preferences of high schoolers.D.To stress how unusual Alena is to get the offer.5.What does the underlined word “adamant” in paragraph 2 mean?A.Determined.B.Qualified.C.Innocent.D.Patient.6.What can be inferred about Alena?A.She is now studying in a high school.B.She is taking online university classes.C.She will become a doctor at the age of 15.D.She is the youngest to get into a US medical school.7.Which of the following can best describe Alena’s life?A.Stressful but hopeful.B.Cheerful but meaningless.C.Rich and colorful.D.Simple and free.(2022秋·安徽六安·高三统考期末)COnline classes began to be popularized just a few decades ago. They are advertised as a way for adults to finish their education and students to learn the material at their own pace—it is far more suitable for people with busy schedules.But after being enrolled in an online course last fall semester, I came to realize online classes were merely a means to fulfil course requirements.First of all, students lack the desire to learn, and they simply complete their assignments to receive credit for a passing grade rather than genuinely engage with the course material.As online courses tend to have more than 100 students, most of the assignments are short and simple. They are not designed for students to interact with the material in depth but designed to be graded easily to accommodate such a large number of students.Perhaps the biggest disadvantage of taking an online class is the absence of face-to-face interaction between the teacher and their students. Live sessions are infrequent and are often scheduled during the middle of the day when students have to attend other classes or work. The office hours of the professor may also be during inconvenient times for many students as well. Most interaction with the professor has to be through email which is often impersonal. It is nearly impossible for students to build a relationship with their professor.There is also little interaction among students. It can be harder for students to create study groups and form relationships with their peers.Online classes also require either a computer or laptop and a reliable Internet connection. Not all students have access to these types of resources, whether it is for financial or other reasons, and some students can be put at a disadvantage. Offering online classes certainly helps students who would otherwise not be able to attend classroom sessions. However, they fail to provide a true education with an emphasis on convenience rather than critical thinking. We need restructure online classes in which students can have a learning experience that will actually provide quality education.8.What can we infer about students enrolled in online classes?A.They are unmotivated to learn,B.They can access course materials easily.C.They rarely fulfil the course requirements.D.They can learn at their own pace.9.What is the author’s opinion about online course assignments? ‘A.They are meant to facilitate interaction.B.They are made convenient to mark.C.They are given to accommodate students` needs.D.They are based on easily accessible material.10.From the passage, which is one disadvantage of online classes?A.They make professors’ offices much less accessible.B.They are frequently scheduled at irregular times.C.They provide little chance for students to build relationships with each other.D.They tend to increase professors’ burden of replying students’ emails.11.What problem may arise if classes go online?A.Teachers will worry about poor Internet connections.B.Most students may get critical thinking skills from it.C.Schools with limited resources will be at a disadvantage.D.Some students may have difficulty attending them.(2022秋·江苏南通·高三统考期末)DIn the coming era of budget cuts to education, distance learning could become a common thing.The appeal to those in charge of education budgets to trade teachers for technology is so strong that they tend to ignore the disadvantages of distance learning. School facilities are expensive to build and maintain, and teachers are expensive to employ. It’s true that online classes do not require buildings and each class can host hundreds of people, which can result in greater savings, but moving away from a traditional classroom in which a living, breathing human being teaches and interacts with students daily would be a disaster.Physically attending school has hidden benefits: getting up every morning interacting with peers, and building relationships with teachers are important skills to cultivate in young people. Moreover, schools are more than simple places of traditional learning. They are also places that provide meals, places where students receivemental help and other support.Those policy-makers are often fascinated by the latest technology in education and its potential to transform education overnight. But online education does not allow a teacher to keep a struggling student after class and offer help. Educational videos may deliver academic content, but they are unable to make eye contact or assess a student’s level of engagement. Distance education will never match the personal teaching in a traditional classroom. In their first 18 years of life, American children spend only 9% of their time in school. Yet teachers are expected to prepare them to be responsible citizens, cultivate their social skills, encourage successful time management, and enhance their capacity to compete in a competitive job market. Given these expectations, schools should not become permanently “remote”.The power of the classroom is rooted in the qualities of the people gathered in the same place, at the same time, including their nature, empathy, devotion and so on. Technology, no matter how advanced, should simply be a tool of a good teacher.12.What is one possible benefit of students attending school physically?A.Forming the habit of getting up early.B.Eating nutritionally well-balanced meals.C.Growing into living and breathing human beings.D.Developing relationships with peers and teachers.13.What does the author think of the latest technology in education?A.It may reduce face-to-face interaction.B.It may make many teachers jobless.C.It may add to student’s financial burden.D.It may revolutionize classroom teaching.14.What does the author say teachers are expected to do?A.To enhance student’s leadership capacity.B.To teach students skills in applying for jobs.C.To enable students to adapt to the changes in life.D.To prepare students to be competitive in the future.15.Why couldn’t technology replace a good teacher?A.It lacks humanity.B.It can’t meet personal needs.C.It is still not advanced.D.It can’t track students’ growth.二、七选五(2023·山东枣庄·统考一模)It’s the start of a new academic year. There’s every reason to go back to school—or at least acquire a new skill.Start with art. If you’ve always fancied yourself as a bit of a Picasso, consider joining an art class.
