We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother willpush the conversation into World War III. She'll talk about my lack of a bright future because I don't plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment, I don't want to doany job related to science, either. In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned tomajor(主修) in English and communications, she nearly had a heart attack.“Why can't you be like my co-worker's son?” she bemoans all the time. Herco-worker's son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a yearas an engineer. I don't know what to answer except that I simply can't be like Mr. Perfect as I've called the unnamed co-worker's son. I can't be like him. I'm the type of person who loves to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, I want to achieve a career because I love it, not because of fame (名声) or salary.I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I've seen my motherstruggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 am and usually comes home around 5 pm or even 6 pm. However, I want her to know thatby becoming a doctor, it doesn't mean I'll be successful. I'd rather follow my dreams and create my own future.24.

He wants to do something he really likes in the future.CIs there anything more important than health? I don't think so. “Health is the greatest wealth(财富),” wise people say. You can't be good at your studies or work well when youare ill.If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you sufferfrom high or low blood pressure, I think you should go to the doctor.The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have yourchest X-rayed. After that he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.Speaking about doctor's advice, I can't help telling you a funny story.An old gentleman came to see the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease.He told his patients to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also 5advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take longwalks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “Eat at pleasure, drinkwith measure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to bewell again, he shouldn't smoke more than one cigarette a day.A month later the gentleman came to the doctor's office. He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.“But you know, doctor,” he said, “it's not easy to begin smoking at my age.”28.

From the last sentence of the passage, we learn the man before the doctor toldhim not to smoke more than one cigarette a day.A. was a heavy smokerB. didn't smoke so muchC.didn't smokeD.began to learn to smokeDFor such a long time, college years are generally considered to be a stage of life for individual growth in self decision and adult identity. However, now they are becoming anextended（延伸的） period of adolescence, during which many of today's students are not shouldered with adult responsibilities.For previous generations, college was decisive break from parental control; guidance and support need to come from people of the same age and from within. In the past two decades,however, continued connection with and dependence on family, because of cellphones, emailand social media, have increased significantly. Some parents go so far as to help with coursework. Instead of promoting the idea of college as a passage from the shelter of the6family to autonomy (自主权）and adult responsibility, universities have given in to the idea that they should provide the same environment as that of the home.To prepare for increased autonomy and responsibility, college needs to be a time of exploration and experimentation. This process involves “trying on” new ways of personally.Though we should provide students “safe spaces” , we must also make it safe to expressopinions and experience challenges.Learning to deal with the social world is equally important. Because a college world differs from the family, many students will struggle to find a sense of belonging. If students rely on administrators to regulate their social behavior and thinking pattern, they are missing the challenge of finding an identity within a larger and complex world. Moreover, the tendency for universities to monitor and shape student behavior runs up against another characteristic(特点） of young adults: the response to being controlled by their elders.It is not surprising that young people are likely to burst out. What is lacking today is the conflict between adolescents, desire for autonomy and their understanding of an unsafe world. Therefore, there is the desire for their dorms to be replacement homes andnot places to experience intellectual growth.32. What is the author's attitude toward those parents who help with coursework?A. Supportive.B. Critical.C. Positive.D. Unclear.33. What is the main idea of Paragraphs 3-5?A. How to be a top student in college.B. How to turn a college dorm into a family setting.C. How to develop a sense of belonging in college.D. How to foster students' autonomy, identity and responsibility.34. According to the text, who is not the one responsible for the current worrying situationof college students?A. Administrators.B. Parents.C. Universities.D. Students.35. Which of the following would the author most probably agree with?A. Today's colleges aren't qualified in cultivating students' intellectual ability.B. Cellphones, email and social media play a constructive role in building up students'7autonomy.C. Colleges should provide opportunities for students to express opinions and experience challenges.D.College students feel confused about their desire to be independent and misunderstand an unsafe world第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
