Participating in such events is a great way to learn about school facilities and understand campus culture：What do students do for fun？What are their favorite classes？What is thehistory of your university It can help you observe campus life outside the classroom. Exploring CampusGetting to know where essential campus resources are-such as the student advising center,psychological services,and the tutoring center-will make your first few weeks on campus a lot easier,because you won't have to look for them while still getting used to your classes.Take some time to check out the buildings where your classes will be held.This will prevent you from getting lost in the first few days of classes,and familiarize you with how long it takes to get from place to place.If you're worried about taking classes one after another in different buildings,a quick test run won't hurt.That way,you will avoid potential time delays in getting to your classes.Starting a RoutineBefore getting too excited about all of the fun things you will be able to do during the week,remember that you do have a pretty big schedule change coming up.Starting classes means being in different places at different times,so it's a great idea to start getting used to that routine right this week.What helps you most is to schedule your sleep.Following the planned time will ensure you have enough sleep to get to those early classes and stay wide awake.If you have other daily routines,such as exercising or talking on the phone with family,work those into your day-to-day life before classes start so that you get a better idea of how they fit in with your schedule.16.By participating in campus welcome activities,freshmen can ______ .A. learn about campus cultureB. get their course scheduleC. have a physical examinationD. take an entrance test17.Why are freshmen advised to have a quick test run between buildings？______A. To see how many facilities they can use.B. To avoid being late for future classes.C. To help those getting lost on campus.D. To practice running on their way to class.18.When is it best for freshmen to start getting used to the new routine？______A. On the first day of their classes.B. Before the orientation week.C. After their first-day classes.D. During the orientation week.19.What does the author suggest freshmen do to stay focused in class？______A. Take physical exercise before class.B. Leave their phones powered off.C. Take early classes every day.D. Keep to the sleep schedule.20.What is the author's purpose in writing this passage______A. To offer some tips on making an easier start at college.B. To remind freshmen about the first day of school.C. To help freshmen organize campus activities.D. To share his college experience with the reader.BWhen people ask me how I started writing,I find myself describing an urgent need that I felt to work with language.Having said that,I did not know for a long time what I was looking for.It was not until I followed this feeling to its source that I discovered I had a passion for writing.With some encouragement from my colleagues,I had one of my poems published.This bit of success,however,was the point where my problem began.Back in 1978，I had to travel between three different campuses in the morning,teaching freshman composition.Afternoons I spent taking my daughter to her ballet and horse-riding lessons.I composed my lectures on the way,and that was all the thinking time I had.When I returned home,there was not enough of me left for writing after a full working day.As a way out,I decided to get up two hours before my usual time.My alarm was set for 5：00 A.M.The first day I shut it off because I had placed it within arm's reach.The second day I set two clocks,one on my night table,and one out in the hallway.I had to jump out of bed and run to silence it before my family was awoken.This was when my morning writing began.Since that first morning in 1978，I have been following the habit to this day,not making or accepting many excuses for not writing.I wrote my poems in this manner for nearly ten years before my first book was published.When I decided to write a novel,I divided my two hours：the first for poetry,the second for fiction.Well or badly,I wrote at least two pages a day.This is how my novel,The Line of the Sun.was finished.If I had waited to have the time,I would still be waiting to write my novel.What I got out of getting up in the dark to work is the feeling that I am in control.For many people,the initial sense of urgency to create easily dies away because it requires making the tough decision：taking the time to create,stealing it from yourself if ifs the only way.21.What motivated the author to start her writing career？______A. Her strong wish to share.B. Her keen interest in writing.C. Her urgent need to make a living.D. Her passionate desire for fame.22.What problem did the author face when she decided to begin her writing______A. She was too exhausted to write after a busy day.B. She had trouble in deciding on her writing style.C. She had to take time to discipline her daughter.D. She was unsure about her writing skills.23.Why did the author place an alarm clock in the hallway？______A. In case the clock in her room broke down.B. In case she failed to hear the ringing.C. To force herself out of bed.D. To wake up her family.24.How did the author manage to finish her novel______A. By sticking to writing every morning.B. By writing when her mind was most active.C. By drawing inspirations from classic novels.D. By reducing her teaching hours at school.25.What can we learn from the author's success in her writing career？______A. It is never too late to change your job.B. Imaginative ideas die away if not taken in time.C. A tight schedule is no excuse for lack of action.D. Daily life provides ideas for creative writing.CIn the fictional worlds of film and TV，artificial intelligence（AI）has been described as so advanced that it is indistinguishable from humans.But what if we're actually getting closer to a world where AI is capable of thinking and feelingTech company UneeQ is heading for its "digital humans"，which appear life like on the screen not only in terms of language,but also because of facial movements：raised eyebrows,a smile,even a nod.They look close to a human,but not quite.What lies beneath UneeQ's digital humans？Their 3 D faces are modeled on actual human features.Speech recognition enables them to understand what a person is saying,and natural language processing is used to work out a response.Meanwhile,another AI company,Soul Machines,is taking a more biological approach,with a "digital brain"，that imitates aspects of the human brain to adjust the emotions "felt" and "expressed" by its "digital people". Shiwali Mohan,an AI scientist at the Palo Research Center,is skeptical of these digital beings. "They're humanlike in their looks and the way they sound,but that in itself is not being human," she says. "Human qualities also involve how you think,how you approach problems,and how you break them down；and that takes a lot of algorithmic （算法）design.Designing for human-level intelligence is a different attempt than designing images that behave like humans." She then continues,"If something looks like a human,we have high expectations of them,but they might behave differently in ways that humans just instinctively （直觉地）know how other humans react."Yet the demand is there,with UneeQ seeing high adoption of its digital employees across the financial,health care,and commercial sectors （行业）. "Unless these sectors make their business models much more efficient digitally,they might be left behind," says Chetan Dube,UneeQ's CEO.Some other companies are taking their digital beings a step further,enabling organizations and individuals to create digital humans themselves using free-access platforms they provide. "The biggest motivation for such platforms is to popularize AI，" Dube says.Mohan is cautious about this approach,yet she supports the purpose behind these digital beings and is optimistic about where they are headed. "As we develop more advanced AI technology,we would then have to use new ways of communicating with that technology," she says. "Hopefully,all of that is designed to support humans in their goals."26.According to Para.2，in what respect（s）do UneeQ's "digital humans" resemble humanbeings______A. In the way they move around.B. In the way they act and react.C. In observation and analysis.D. In speech and facial expressions.27.Soul Machines' digital brain is a technological breakthrough because it ______ .A. learns to make proper emotional responsesB. tends to imitate human beings' tone vividlyC. recognizes the speech sounds it receivesD. processes the natural language it hears28.In Mohan's opinion,what human quality is lacking in digital beings______A. Calculating brain.B. Language skills.C. Instinctive judgements.D. Problem-solving ability.29.What makes many sectors employ digital humans？______A. The fear of falling behind in efficiency.B. The urgency to promote e-commerce.C. The wish to spread digital technology.D. The need to upgrade the health care system.30.What does Mohan think of the future of digital beings？______A. It's well planned.B. It is promising.C. It is uncertain.D. It's quite hopeless.DArt is everywhere.Any public space has been carefully designed by an artistic mind to be both functional and beautiful.Why,then,is art still so widely considered to be "the easy subject" at school,insignificant to wider society,a waste of time and effortArt can connect culture with commercial products in a way that not many other things can；art generates money and holds significant emotional and cultural value within communities.When people attend a concert,they are paying for music,sure,maybe even hotel rooms,meals,and transport,but they also gain an incredible experience,a unique atmosphere and a memory that will go through the rest of their lives.People don't just want material things anymore,they want to experience life一the arts are a perfect crossover（交迭）between culture and commerce. Furthermore,the arts can bring communities together,reducing loneliness and making people feel safer.Social bonds are created among individuals when they share their arts experiences through reflection and discussion,and their expression of common values through artworks in honour of events significant to a nation's experience.The arts clearly have a pretty positive impact on physical and psychological health.It is found that people who frequent cultural places or participate in artistic events are more likely to gain good health compared to those who do not；more engagement with the arts is linked to a higher level of people's wellbeing.The Royal Society of Public Health discovered that music and art,when used in hospitals,help to improve the conditions of patients by reducing stress,anxiety and blood pressure.Children who are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their education：those engaged with drama have greater literary ability while others taking part in musical practice exhibit greater skills in math and languages.Kids with preference for the arts have a greater chance of finding employment in the future.Participating in the arts is essential for child development；encouraging children to express themselves in constructive ways could help to form healthy emotional responses in later life.Vital to human life,art is celebrated and used by nations across the world for various purposes.Life without art would be boring and dead still,for art is a part of what makes us human.31.Art products differ from most other commercial products because ______ .A. most people purchase them for collectionB. they are more expensive and less accessibleC. they have both commercial and cultural valuesD. their prices may climb up as time passes32.By sharing their arts experiences,community members can ______ .A. keep the community safe from illnessesB. develop a stronger tie between themC. learn to appreciate their own works of artD. offer honourable solutions to their problems33.What can we learn about people who are involved in artistic activities？______A. They enjoy better living conditions.B. They like to compare themselves with others.C. They are particularly good at both music and art.D. They tend to be healthier physically and mentally.34.How does kids' engagement with the arts benefit them？______A. It promotes their academic performance and emotional growth.B. It gives them more confidence in exhibiting their learning skills.C. It inspires their creativity in designing their future career.D. It helps to make responsible people out of them.35.What is the best title for this passage？______A. How Art Cures Our HeartsB. Art：A Blessing to HumankindC. How Art Benefits CommunitiesD. Art：A Bridge Between Cultures三、完形填空（本大题共20小题，共30.0分）My brother and I are exactly one year apart.We look like twins,but we are completely (36) .By the time we got to middle school it was clear that my older brother(37) meditation （冥想），while I was a born(38)who preferred the theatrical,even when off stage.I took his relative silence to be offensive.We simply didn't(39).I didn't(40)having a tense relationship with my brother because I was involved at school.(41)，I threw myself into the world of musicals.I practised singing in the bedroom every day to remain at my best and be(42)for roles；my brother would meditate on a window seat.He might feel high school was already hard enough(43)my noisy singing.So space to practise became a （n）(44)between us because we shared a room.At the start of the semester,I practised "Circle of Life" for a musical.This was the first timeI(45)to learn a song,because my voice cracked（破音）as I switched to a head voice.I was annoyed in that period and(46)practising,declaring I had reached the ceiling of my singing career.For the first time in years my brother(47)quiet when I got home.After two days of this,my brother asked me to(48)him in meditation.Feeling my anger at my inability to manage this song(49)，I accepted.My brother said, "When your mind floats away,you simply come back.Don't blame yourself" I got the message,and it soon became my new(50).I kept trying at the song,no longer getting(51)at myself.And just in time for the trial performance,I was able to(52)power in my singing despite the switch to a head voice.It was important for me to learn that you don't have to always get everything(53)the first time and that good things come with continual(54).I now understand why my brother favours the(55). 36.

阅读理解议论文考点1 人与自我型议论文【2021新课标I卷】Popularization has in some cases changed the original meaning of emotional (情感的) intelligence. Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a person’s makeup that cannot be measured by an IQ test, such as character, motivation, confidence, mental stability, optimism and “people skills.” Research has shown that emotional skills may contribute to some of these qualities, but most of them move far beyond skill-based emotional intelligence.We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad purposes. The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how best to help her patients, while a cheater might use it to control potential victims. Being emotionally intelligent does not necessarily make one a moral person.Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support, the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful. The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis (重视) on emotion by employers, educators and othersinterested in promoting social well-being. The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people adaptively in everyday life.Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable, we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion. It is our hope that in coming decades, advances in science will offer new perspectives (视角) from which to study how people manage their lives. Emotional intelligence, with its focus on both head and heart, may serve to point us in the right direction.32. What is a common misunderstanding of emotional intelligenceA. It can be measured by an IQ test.B. It helps to exercise a person's mind.C. It includes a set of emotional skills.D. It refers to a person’s positive qualities.33. Why does the author mention “doctor” and “cheater” in paragraph 2A. To explain a rule.B. To clarify a concept.C. To present a fact.D. To make a prediction.34. What is the author's attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligenceA. Favorable.B. Intolerant.C. Doubtful.D. Unclear.35. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning emotional intelligenceA. Its appeal to the public.B. Expectations for future studies.C. Its practical application.D. Scientists with new perspectives.【答案】322-35 DBAB【导读】本文是一篇议论文。

Recently I spoke to some of my students about what they wanted to do after they graduated, and what kind of job prospects they thought they had.Given that I teach students who are training to be doctors, I was surprised to find that most thought that they would not be able to get the jobs they wanted without “outside help”.“What kind of help is that?” I asked, expecting them to tell me that they would need a relative or family friend to help them out.“Surgery(外科手术)”, one replied. I was pretty alarmed by that response. It seems that the graduates of today are increasingly willing to go under the knife to get ahead of others when it comes to getting a job. One girl told me that she was considering surgery to increase her height. “They break your legs, put in special extending screws, and slowly expand the gap between the two ends of the bone as it regrows, you can get at least 5cm taller!”At that point, I was shocked. I am short, I can’t deny that, but I don’t think I would put myself through months of agony(痛楚) just to be a few centimeters taller. I don’t even bother to wear shoes with thick soles, as I’m not trying to hide the fact that I am just not tall!It seems to me that t here is a trend toward wanting “perfection”, and that is an ideal that just does not exist in reality.No one is born perfect, yet magazines, TV shows and movies present images of thin, tall, beautiful people as being the norm. Advertisements for slimming aids, beauty treatments and cosmetic surg ery clinics fill the pages of newspapers, further creating an idea that “perfection” is a requirement, and that it must be purchased, no matter what the cost. In my opinion, skills, rather than appearance, should determine how successful a person is in his chosen career.60. We can know from the passage that the author works as ______.A. a doctorB. a modelC. a teacherD. a reporter61. Many graduates today turn to cosmetic surgery to______.A. marry a better man\womanB. become a modelC. get an advantage over others in job-huntD. attract more admirers62. According to the passage, the author believes that ______.A. everyone should purchase perfection, whatever the costB. it’s right for graduates to ask for others to help them out in hunting for jobsC. media are to blame for misleading young people in their seeking for surgeryD. it is one’s appearance instead of skills that really matters in one’s career63. What does the author think of his height?A. He hates to be called a short man.B. He tries to increase his height through surgery.C. He always wears shoes with thick soles to hide the fact.D. He just accepts it as it is【参考答案】60C 61---63、CCD阅读明白得-Since the end of World War I (WWI) in 1918，Canadians, and millions of others around the world have paused at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month to honour the sacrifices our soldiers have made in different wars, fighting for the freedoms that we all enjoy today.Known as Remembrance Day, the day originated as a tribute to the soldiers of WWI，a dark period for our young country, which claimed the lives of over 60,000 military personnel and civilians and over 16 million dead worldwide.As there are no more surviving soldiers of WWI，today we rely on the wisdom and words of those so ldiers who fought in the wars that followed，and this day now also recognizes their heroiccontribution.They tell us to always remember what those brave souls fought for, and all they ask in return is that we never forget.That’s why we wear the red poppy (罂粟花);that’s why when we see a soldier in uniform we should stop him or her and say “Thank you” ; that’s why we take a pause from our busy lives for two short minutes today to honor that request.Yet this message is fading away, year after year.Take for example the terrible decision to allow parents to excuse students from Remembrance Day ceremonies at school.Not only is this disrespectful, it distances the student from his or her classmates.It is difficult to understand why any Canadian parent would want to remove their child from the time-honored tradition of reading the poem In Flanders Fields, while a wreath of poppies is laid.It is more important than ever to teach school-aged children about our history，no matter how violent it was. Sheltering them from the realities of war is a great disservice.Understanding why conflicts happened, or happen today, can help shape choices and decisions they make as adults.Of course, because we live in a free society, we cannot force an individual to do something. It is unfortunate, but some parents now have their child “opt-out” of the services. These people should be reminded they are free to make such choices only because of the men and women the rest of us are remembering.36.Which of the following is true about Remembrance Day?A. It’s only held in Canada.B. Its ceremony lasts 11 hours.C. It falls on November 11th each year.D. It’s to celebrate the c ountry’s independence.【答案】C【解析】细节明白得题。

Occasionally an elderly member who didn't act very sociably would come (2) with me and would be coached in the technique of living graciously.Among them was a shy and quiet little 83-year-old widow. Her husband had been gone for over 20 years and she still wandered around lost, asking people for help. Amazingly enough, people generally responded well. Men helped her with bags, and women with directions.

Say hello!" She greeted me and turned faintly pink.I suggested she try it out on all the strangers wandering about her New York City neighborhood. When she nervously reported back a month later, I asked about the results."It's doing something strange to me!" she cried. "When I don't say hello, people don't respond. They look right through me! But when I do say hello, they not only speak, but day, 'what a nice smile,' or, 'good morning'."In a city where neighborliness in just a passing phrase, my shy friend managed to become the center of attention wherever she went.

Squirrels often communicate with whistles, chirps and chucks, which sound like the word “chuck”．Whistles and chirps are like the sounds that many birds make．Now scientists have translated some of their squirrel-speak．Hare, a professor of zoology at the University of Maniloha in Winnipeg, and his team managed to record squirrels' alarm calls．The researchers studied the sounds and then played them back to 60 wild squirrels, which the scientists approached individually with a video recorder to capture（抓拍）their reponses．Some squirrels lifted their heads up and became．Alert（警戒的）．Creatures that were more frightened simply ran for their lives and dived into caves．"In effect then, whistles that mix with chucks say 'there's an enemy of average threat that's here', and whistles without chucks say 'there's an enemy of seemingly average threat around here somewhere', while pure chirps say, 'I'm hiding here because there's an immediate danger．' " Hare told．Discovery News．Hare and some other researchers believe such sounds arc part of an advanced language that develops just as all other communication systems．Although squirrels risk their lives when they call out to warn others of threats, other squirrels might admire this behaviour, thus increasingly the caller’s social status, like humans who look up to heroes. Hare ad ded that other animals, such as birds, probably understand at least some squirrel language, since they also may benefit from the alarm callsIn fact, another Canadian study found that deep-voiced, black-capped chickadees have their own language too．According to certain research, there are a lot of tidings in chickadees' calls, such as directing fellows' activities, keeping in contact between mates, and raising alarms．While chickadees and other birds are often welcomed into gardens by homeowners, squirrels are frequently viewed as pests（害兽）. Hare wishes a greater understanding of the complex social lives and communication systems of squirrels will provide “hope that humans will gain a greater appreciation and stop doing harm to these animals”.67．The text mainly talks about ．A．the study on the language of squirrelsB．the comparison between squirrels and chickadeesC．the calling for the protection of squirrelsD．the ways for squirrels to escape from their enemies68．If a squirrel is in a very dangerous situation, it would probably make ____．A．whistles with chucks B．pure chirpsC．whistles without chucks D．repeated chucks69．The underlined word “tidings” in pardgmph 6 probably means ____．A．difficulties B．poises C．messages D．languages70．What can be learned from this text?A．Squirrels communicate with cach other as humans do.B．Some squirrels understand the recorded alarm calls.C．Other animals also well understand the language of squirrels．D．Birds such as chickadees don’t have their own language．【答案】67---70: ABCB阅读明白得----CMany people influenced various aspects of my life, based on their personal characteristics, accomplishments, and values. I have been fortunate to have had numerous teachers and professo rs who I respect for their patience and intelligence. There are artists that have inspired me by their naturaltalents and original creativity. I value many political leaders, who have inspired me by their contributions to society, and their ability to change our futures. But of all the people I have known in my life, the person I admire most is my father.As the youngest girl in my family, I always considered myself to be “Daddy’s little girl”. While I grew up, it always made me sad to see so many of my friends and neighbors without a father or father-like figure around. This helped me appreciate how my father always takes an interest in his children’s lives. In every aspect of my life my father continuously pushes me to excel, so I could accomplish my work outstandingly among my people. Whenever I feel like giving up, or have a question or a concern, I know I can always call on him for advice. From him I have also learned that sometimes you have to put others’ needs ahead of your own, but you should make sure you are not taken advantage of by others. His strength seems to be unbreakable during hard times, and he is extremely determined to accomplish anything he sets his mind on, no matter how tiny it is. I highly respect him for how he stands up for what he believes in, and will never back down. I have always admired his open mind, compassion for people, and sense of understanding. He is a very reserved man, but to everybody’s surprise, he has a great sense of humor, and always knows how to put a smile on the faces of his wife, his children and his friends.Living in his affection and instruction, I am very proud of my father. He also professes how proud he is of his children, and is still there to support us in whatever we are involved in.36. What is the best title for the passage?A. How my father loved meB.

BEIJING —With a series of measures being adopted to control price rise, the Chinese government is confident of keeping prices at a reasonable level, Premier Wen Jiabao said Sunday morning, asking people to remain confident.“I believe we can keep prices at a reasonable level through our efforts. As a major leader of the government, I have the responsibility and I have the confidence, too.” He made the remarks while an swering a listener’s question during a radio broadcast by China National Radio.Steps taken in the past month, including price controls to curb speculation(抑制投机) and monetary tightening（货币紧缩）, had started to produce results, he said.The government plans to build 10 million units of affordable housing in 2020, up from this year’s target of 5.8 million.China will also increase efforts to curb speculation in the housing market, mainly through monetary policies and stricter use of land, Wen said, without giving details.Wen said the country had a good agricultural supply base which gave the government confidence that it could stabilize pricesIn a bid to control inflation, the government has also increased the bank reserve requirement ratio six times and lifted interest rate twice this year, he added.Further, authorities have introduced many measures including cutting fees for transportation of agriculture products and controlling food price rise strictly.The overall price level, especially of major consumer goods, has now begun to drop, Wen said.“The fundamental way to stabilize prices is to achieve a balance of supply and demand, which requires continuous development of agriculture,” said premier, adding that the central government has worked out measures to increase agricultural production.68. Pr emier Wen Jiabao asked people to remain c onfident because ______.A. many measures have been taken to control priceB. as a major leader of the government, he had the confidenceC. he wanted to comfort themD. China will increase efforts to control price69. The key to keeping prices at a reasonable level lies in ______.A. taking more strict measuresB. the leaders’ confidenceC. achieve a balance of supply and demandD. having a good agricultural supply base70. The best title of the passage should be ______.A. More efforts on controlling price riseB. Chinese government is confident of controlling price riseC. Major consumer goods’ price droppedD. The bank lifted interest rate.【参考答案】68---70、ACBThe Answer Is Right There above You.If you put a buzzard in a fence six to eight feet square and entirely open at the top，the bird，in spite of its ability to fly, will be an absolute prisoner. The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground with a run of ten to twelve feet. Without space to run，as is its habit, it will not even attempt to fly, but remain a prisoner for life in a small jail with no top.The Ordinary bat flying around at night is a remarkable quick-moving creature in the air. But placed on the floor or flat ground, it has to shuffle about helplessly and, no doubt, painfully ，until it reaches some slight elevation from which it can throw itself into the air. Then，at once，it takes off like a flash,A bumblebee if dropped into an open tumbler (平底玻璃杯）will be there until it dies, unless it is taken out. It never sees the means of escape at the top，but keeps trying to find some way out through the sides near the bottom.In many ways, there are lots of people like the buzzard, the bat and the bumblebee. They are struggling about with all their problems and frustrations，not realizing that the answer is right there above them.64. Based on Paragraph 1, in what case can a buzzard fly?A. It’ s not old enough.B. It’s caught in a fence.C. It’s a prisoner in a small jail.D. It’s got enough space to run.65 The underlined word “shuffle”（in para. 2) is closest in meaning to “_______A. walk slowly B, mix up C. fly low D. run fast66. How can the bumblebee get out of an open tumbler by itself according to the text?A. It can be taken out,B. It can escape at the top.C. It can get out through the side,D. It can jump up from the bottom.67. The author expresses his views by_______.A making a speech B. using examplesC. making a comparisonD. giving advice【文章大意】抬头确实是希望。

A.“I never expected that I would be so busy. Why can’t there be 25 hours in a day?” complained Liu Ran in Hong Kong as mid-term exams were going on.The 18-year-old was Shandong Province’s top scorer in this year’s college entrance examination. After graduating from Tai’an No.1 High School, she chose the Chinese University of Hong Kong(香港中文大学) ，although both Peking University and Tsinghua University promised her a place.“I want to experience a more international school and social life i n Hong Kong. I’m majoring in journalism, so Hong Kong will surely help widen my horizons,” Liu said.It is two months since Liu first set foot on Hong Kong. She missed home a lot at the beginning, because of the food and language problems.“The canteen offers mostly Western or Guangdong food, but it’s convenient to cook for ourselves in our dorm if we like. People speak Cantonese and almost all classes are in English,” Liu explained. Her English and Cantonese are now both improving, but she still needs more time to adapt to the new environment.“I’m happy that I made the right decision to study here. With a mix of the Eastern and Western cultures, there is so much to discover and learn,” she said.Liu has 18 credit hours(学分) of classes every week and 23 non-credit hours every other week. She has signed up for four associations including the Chinese Language Debating Team and the drama club. Essays, book reports and presentations also take plenty of time to prepare. And , of course, there are various parties to attend.“I wasn’t a party animal before, but that may be interesting part of college. I sense myself changing,” Liu said.56. Liu Ran chose the Chinese University of Hong Kong, because___________.A. she couldn’t be admitted to Peking UniversityB.

That year , in the local school, there was a new math teacher, as well as some new pupils. One of the new kids was the stupidest child anyone had ever seen. It made no difference how quickly or how slowly they tried explaining numbers to him; he would always end up saying something enormously stupid. Like two plus two was five, seven times three was twenty-seven, or a triangle had thirty corners……Before this boy arrived, math lessons had been the most boring of all. Now they were great fun. Encouraged by the new teacher, the children would listen to the pieces of nonsense spouted by the new kid, and they would have to correct his mistakes.Whenever the new teacher asked questions, the stupid kid would stand up but made the wrong answers, the other students all wanted to be the first to find his mistakes, and then think up the most original ways to explain them. To do this they used all kinds of stuff : sweets, playing cards, oranges, paper planes, etc. It didn’t seem like any of this bothered the new kid.However, Littl e Lewis was sure that it was bound to make him feel sad inside. Lewis was sure he would see him crying. So, one day, he decided to follow the new kid home after school. On leaving school, the new kid walked a few minutes to a local park, and there he waited for a while, until someone came along to meet him……It was the new teacher!The teacher gave the new kid a hug, and off they went, hand in hand. Following from a distance, Lewis could hear they were talking about math.The math lessons became interesting again because of the new teacher’s ___________.A. creativityB. imaginationC. responsibilityD. curiosity60. The passage implies that the stupidest child____________________________.A. was in great need of math teacher’s help after classB. knew much more about math than other classmatesC. had no much gift for math and was slow to learn itD. disliked both the new math teacher and his lessons61. According to the passage, Lewis followed the stupidest in order to ______________.A. learn about where he livedB. find out if he felt upsetC. say something to comfort himD. make friends with him62.

Angry at wasting time in traffic jams only to find no parking spaces when you eventually arrive at the store? If this is you, then online shopping is the answer to your dreams of trouble-free shopping. Or is it?Online shopping brings its own challenges. Here are a few things to bear in mind when browsing (阅读) various websites. The claim made by online sites is that shopping online is a safe and secure way to make purchases. The evidence challenges this. In any case, you only have to be the victim of fraud (诈骗) once to experience all the problems that come with this form of stealing. Use only sites that have a trusted history and an excellent reputation.Another problem is the appearance of items in reality is often quite different from what you see onyour computer screen. This might not be a problem if you are buying washing up powder but could be a major disappointment when that beautiful blue dress you ordered turns up in green. Also, product descriptions are sometimes simply untrue. Perhaps the wisest plan is to purchase items where design and color are not essential to customer satisfaction.Some even argue that online shopping indirectly contributes to global warming. Yes, your car can stay parked but how are online goods delivered? Often by some large vans pouring out carbon monoxide and adding to our already desperate traffic problems. You are also by now becoming increasingly irritated (使苦恼) by the fact that the delivery is late and you have wasted the leave from work you have taken to receive it!Without question, online shopping is here to stay and it has its benefits. However, perhaps it is not as wonderful as some of its supporters claim it to be.36. The author lists several questions in Para. 1 to .A. support online shoppingB. collect answers from readersC. show his dislike of going shoppingD. introduce the topic of the passage【答案】D【解析】推理判定题。
