A
Beginning college is exciting: new ideas to explore, new challenges to be met and many decisions to be made; your future begins here.
However, you will find college life is different from your previous school environment. Many of us can be easily overwhelmed by the details of running a well-balanced life. While some of us may have the know-how, 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 became familiar with the campus, but don’t forget why you are there. Give some time for social activities
and manage your time wisely.
●If you don’t have a “system” for planning your time now, 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’s handbook. Consider them
well-balanced food for thought. What dates are important? What pieces of paper need to be handed in? What can / can’t you do in your student residence (住处)? Who has the right for what? What do you need to complete to graduate?
●Write the word “STUDY” on the walls of our bedro om 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 course. 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.
(From /academics/frosh10tips.html)
56. 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.
57. 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 prepare for your future career and life there.
D. Because professors there will provide you with many new ideas.
58. The underlined word “know-how” refers to _________.
A. An understanding of how things are going at college
B. Practical knowledge about how to behave and what to do at college
C. College halls where rules and regulations are presented
D. An environment completely different from the one you’re used to
59. According to the passage, college students ___________.
A. needn’t learn from those who went to college before them
B. spend as much time as possible on social activities
C. should know what they have fight for on campus
D. are supposed to repeat or replace at least one course
B
Almost everyone likes to eat apples. Apples grow in nearly every part of the
world; The United States produces more apples than any other country except France. The states of Washington and New York grow the most apples. Perhaps this is why “New York” is often called “Big Apple” by some people. New York is on the east coast and Washington is on the west near Canada.
Apples are red, yellow or green. They are very popular in the United States. Many people like to carry apples to work or to school to eat with their lunches. Most American people are often too busy or too tired to cook dinner, so they often have their dinners very simply. Apple juice is also a popular drink and apple pie is the favorite sweet dish for many Americans.
The state of Washington is proud of its apples. The trees there produce nearly five billion apples every year—one apple for every man, woman and child in the whole world.
There are m any stories and sayings about apples. For example, “You are the apple of my eye.” means “You are actually the one I love best and care most.” In China, it is a custom in some places for the marrying couple to hold an apple in each one’s hand, promising that their marriage will be “safe” without anything bad and that their marriage will never be broken. “To apple polish” often refers to a man who fawns (奉承) on somebody for the purpose of getting some benefits. So you can easily get “apple polisher”. While “in apple-pie order” usually has the same meaning as “in good order”. It is likely that you hear about “compare apples and oranges”. In fact, it’s another saying about “compare two things that can’t be compared”.
60. What can we know from the underlined sentence?
A. American apples taste good.
B. We can see apples everywhere in America.
C. Americans like to eat apples.
D. Americans regard apples as their best food.
61. From this passage, we know________.
A. France produces the most apples in the world
B. there are more apples in America than in France
C. the apples in France are better than those in America
D. apple trees are not easy to grow in New York
62. Why do the marrying couple hold an apple in each one’s hand in some places of China?
A. Because they like the sweet taste of apples.
B. Because the Chinese apples are wonderful.
C. Because people in China have no opinions of their own.
D. Because it stands for “happiness of marriage”.
63. If you are satisfied with the order of something, you will use the following phrase “_______”.
A. Apple of one’s eye
B. To apple polish
C. In apple-pie order
D. The big apple

Electronic devices are changing the way people listen to music. But studies show the devices may be causing hearing loss in many people. Some experts say people may be playing them too loud and for too long.
The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association did a study. It involved three
hundred high school students and one thousand adults.
Forty percent of students and adults said they set the sound levels, or volume, at high on their iPods. But students were two times more likely to play the music at a very loud volume. More than half of the students said they would probably not limit their listening time. And about a third said they were not likely to reduce the volume.
Hearing experts say part of the problem is the listening equipment people are using. They say large earphones that cover the whole ear are probably safer than the smaller earbuds that come with most music players. Earbuds are thought to be less effective than earphones in blocking out foreign noises.
Hearing loss may not be apparent for years. But once it happens, it is permanent. About thirty million Americans have some hearing loss. One third of them lost their hearing as a result of loud noises.
The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association is working with manufacturers (生产商) and government officials on setting rules for use of portable music devices. The group says the best way to protect your hearing is to reduce the volume, limit listening time and using earphones that block out foreign noises.
67. According to the study, more than half the students ________.
A. keep listening to music for a long time
B. would reduce the volume of
music
C. would stop listening to music
D. would
reduce the time on listening to music
68. Which is NOT true according to the fourth paragraph?
A. The listening equipment used by people need to be improved.
B. Earbuds can’t block out foreign noises completely.
C. Most music players are equipped with earbuds.
D. Listening to music with large earphones on is less effective.
69. We can conclude from the text that ________.
A. only when rules for use of portable music device are worked out, can hearing
loss
disappear
B. manufacturers are the main cause that leads to hearing loss
C. it was not listening equipment but listeners themselves that mainly result in hearing loss
D. using large earphones is the best way to protect your hearing
70. The underlined word “apparent” mean s _________.
A. anxious
B. obvious
C. serious
D. conscious

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。

注意：每空格1个单词。

Carla walked 45 minutes a day, every day, as part of her exercise regime. After two years of walking she began to notice her right foot hurt and she was always adjusting her laces (带子). A visit to the family doctor resulted in her going to the last place she thought he’d send her: a shoe store.
Her solution was simple: new sneakers, fitted by a professional. Many people suffer for years without realizing their pain is caused by improperly fitted shoes and that’s why it’s important consumers be aware of how to choose footwear. Here are some tips to keep your feet happy and pain free.
Have your feet measured before you make a shoe purchase. Make sure you measure both feet, since most of us have one foot larger than the other. Always purchase shoes to fit the largest foot.
Try both shoes on and walk in them before you buy. Sizes vary, as do styles and shoe shapes. A size 8 in one brand might fit perfectly, while a 7- and-half in another is too loose in the heel.
Your feet swell during the day, so make sure you only shop for shoes in the evening.
There should be a three-eighths to 5 inch space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
The ball of your foot should fit comfortably into the widest part of the shoe.
Before buying shoes of any kind ensure that the heel fits well and there is no slippage.
Look for shoes that are similar in shape to your feet. Some brands and styles are narrower than others, or have a narrow heel.
High heels can cause not only foot pain, but posture problems and back pain, as well. For these reasons women should avoid high heels. If you must wear them, never go over 2- and-a-half inches in heel height.
Always buy shoes that fit now. Shoes do not stretch and there is no such thing as “breaking them in”.
Wear the same type of socks or nylons you will be wearing with the shoe. If you’re purchasing sneakers, wear athletic socks. For high heels, wear nylons during the fitting session.

Dear editor,
Recently our class have had a heated discussion on how middle school students
should make friends.
As we all know, good interpersonal relationship plays an important role in
building harmonious society.
Many people suggest that they should make friends who are of great benefit to
their studies, so they will help each other and make greater progress with their
studies. Some believe that they should have friends related to their life. Whenever
they have difficulty dealing with problems in terms of life, they can help rid
themselves of the problems. In addition, others agree that they should have some
friends who can listen to them attentively and share their bitterness and joy.
What I want to stress is that each of us should have a true friend. To make friends,
we should try to remember the names of the people we contact and learn not to judge
people by their appearances. Besides, we need to be friendly and care about them.
When disagreement does occur, it's wise of us to talk it over to others. In brief,
making true friends can really enable us to improve ourselves.
Yours ever,
Li Hua

W: Oh, hi, Fred! I didn’t know whether to save you a place or not. Why are you so late?
M:It’s our math teacher. She always keeps us in class until ten past ten.
W:Doesn’t she know that you’re supposed to get out at ten?
M: I guessed so. But she never looks at her watch. She just keeps talking.
W:Don’t the students complain about it? I would say something.
M: No. Everybody is too polite.
W: Well, you should try and talk to her.
M:Maybe. But I’m afraid she might feel hurt.
W: Well, it all depends on how and when you say it. If you tell her about it in a friendly way when

M: Really? That would be wonderful. Thanks for your advice.
