I’ll never forget that “very important meeting ” with a guidance counselor 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 to achieve my academic and professional goals for the future. He told me that I was not college material and that “possibly a nice secretarial school” would be more my league. 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 my limitation on my future, he made me even more determined to pursue 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 woman-only college in Beverly, Massachusetts. When I visited Endicott, it felt like home,
and my choice was made. It was the only college I visited, applied to, and was interviewed by.
I was accepted into Endicott for the fall term and immediately knew it was the right choice 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 for them, doing everything in my power to support them in making it happen. Because I know dreams really do come true.
24. What does the underlin ed sentence indicate?
A. The author could work in a secretarial school.
B. The author was good at communicating with others.
C. The author was encouraged to receive higher education.
D. The author might be more suitable for a secretary.
25. What can we learn about the author from the passage?
A. She worked part-time after graduation.
B. She got her bachelor’s degree at Endicott.
C. She was satisfied with her choice of Endicott.
D. She visited many colleges before picking Endicott.
26. Which of the following can be best used to describe the author?
A. Determined and strong-minded.
B. Brilliant and supportive.
C. Stubborn and ambitious.
D. Creative and hard-working.
27. What’s the theme of the passage?
A. The best choice is the one that fits you.
B. Everyone should hold on to their dreams.
C. School education is of great importance.
D. Honest advice is always difficult to take.
C
You’re talking to your native English-speaking friend about your recent breakup and how upset you are when suddenly he says, “Don’t worry about it, man, girls like that are a dime a dozen!” You then stare at your friend in confusion. You simply can’t figure out why he’s comparing the girl that was once the love of your life to $ 1.2.
Actually a dime a dozen doesn’t mean anything even remotely close to what the individual words in the phrase indicate. It’s an idiom. We’ve listed some common idioms in English.
Cost/pay an arm and a leg—It would be a strange world if buying that fancy shiny purse literally required us to chop off our body parts to give as money for the Louis Vuitton goods. It actually means that something costs a fortune.
When pigs fly—So, have you ever seen a pig fly before? Never? Me, either. This idiom basically means that something will never happen, like fat little pink mammals(哺乳动物) flying toward the sun!
Hit the books—Before you imagine students running into their library and hitting The Complete Works of Shakespear, we would just like to say that it actually means “study hard”. The re, you can still hit books in your spare time if you want, we won’t judge you.
Scratch one’s back—We all know how difficult it is to scratch that itch(痒) on your back that your hands just aren’t flexible enough to reach, so why would you want to scratch some random person’s smelly back? Because if you do, they may eventually be willing to scratch your smelly back when you need it! What this idiom means is to help someone out with the assumption that they will return the favor in the future!
28. What is the function of the first two paragraphs?
A. To introduce the main topic.
B. To explain the idiom’s meaning.
C. To serve as the background.
D. To express the author’s confusion.
29 .What does the idiom “a dime a dozen” probably mean?
A. Something priceless or important.
B. Something worth just $1.2.
C. Something common and easy to get.
D. Something attractive and necessary.
30. Which of the following idioms is correctly used?
A. Rita wants to “hit the books” to release her anger.
B. Unreliable people can only earn trust “when pigs fly”.
C. Jack once “cost an arm and a leg” in a traffic accident.
D. Some people make jokes by “scratching one’s back” suddenly.
31. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. The origin of English idioms.
B. The influence of culture on idioms.
C. The best way to understand idioms.
D. The meaning of some English idioms.
D
Many high school students consider a college education useless. Therefore, they choose not to go to college. If you’re one of them, t hink again. Here are some reasons why you should go to college and receive a good education there.
Schools and universities are the first sources of knowledge. We take that knowledge later on to build our careers after graduation. More knowledge will be gained after you start working, but without an education, that job will not be within easy reach. Knowledge leads to knowledge.
While limited within the walls of the educational institutions, we openly explore other cultures of the world. We come to know that ours is not the only culture. Other cultures have valuable insights to share, enriching our own. Education also makes us want to travel and interact with various cultures, broadening our horizons.
When there’s a downturn (衰退) in the economy, those who attended college will be more likely to find a new job than those who only finished grade school and have a limited skills set. The more education you have, the more chances you will get to improve the quality of your life as you have a better job and earn a higher salary.
When you’re skillful and knowledgeable, you get to “rub knees” with people of similar backgrounds and tastes. It means a good education leads to excellent networking. Good networking can benefit you a lot in your later life.
A good education makes you a more interesting person. You can talk about ideas and events instead of just other people and what’s on sale in stores. An educated person doesn’t gossip, having a preference to discuss ideas and listen to what other people have to say.
32. What can we learn from Paragraph 2 ?
A. If you go to college, you can have a chance to study abroad.
B. Going to college allows you to keep gaining knowledge.
C. A good education helps you become a more interesting person.
D. A well-educated person can realize the importance of knowledge.
33. According to Paragraph 3, what does going to college mean?
A. Valuing our own culture much more.
B. Being limited within the walls of a college.
C. Having a greater understanding of different cultures.
D. Thinking differently from others.
34. By giving the example of a downturn in the economy, what does the author want to show?
A. A good education can improve your tastes.
B. A good education sometimes means nothing.
C. A good education allows you to keep a high quality of life.
D. A good education means you will not lose your job.
35. What is the text mainly about?
A. Sources of knowledge.
B. The reason why some people think college useless.
C. The disadvantages of not being educated.
D. Benefits of attending college.
