Knowing thesecauses can make us examine our behavior, andcorrect bad habits. The main reasons we get angry are triggering (触发) events, personality traits (特征), and our assessment of situations. 51 .Triggering events for anger are so many that todescribe them all would take hundreds of pages.However, here are some examples: being cut offin traffic, a deadline approaching, experiencingphysical pain, and much more. 52 Thereason why someone is triggered by somethingand others are not is often due to one’s personalhistory and psychological traits.Each person, no matter who they are, haspsychological imbalances. People who havepersonality traits that connect withcompetitiveness and low upset tolerance aremuch more likely to get angry. 53 Also,sometimes pre-anger does not have to do with alasting condition, but rather a temporary statebeforea triggering event has occurred.54 Sometimes even routine occurrencesbecome sources of pre-anger, or anger itself.Sometimes ignorance and negative (消极的) outlooks on situations can create anger.55 .

高考英语专项训练说明文
第三节说明文(1)Passage 1[2018·全国卷Ⅰ]Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit(联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialisation, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the Americas about 1,000; Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number(中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction(消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico (150), Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.1．What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times?A．They developed very fast.B．They were large in number.C．They had similar patterns.D．They were closely connected.2．Which of the following best explains “dominant” underlined in paragraph 2?A．Complex.B．Advanced.C．Powerful. D．Modern.3．How many languages are spoken by less than 6,000 people at present?A．About 6,800. B．About 3,400.C．About 2,400. D．About 1,200.4．What is the main idea of the text?A．New languages will be created.B．People's lifestyles are reflected in languages.C．Human development results in fewer languages.D．Geography determines language evolution.Passage 2[2018·全国卷Ⅱ]Many of us love July because it's the month when nature's berries and stone fruits are in abundance. These colorful and sweet jewels from British Columbia's fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein(蛋白质), iron and zinc (not that fruits have much protein). Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants(抗氧化物质). The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into Vitamin A and which are antioxidants. As for cherries(樱桃), they are so delicious who cares? However, they are rich in vitamin C.When combined with berries or slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat “ice cream”. For this purpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.If you have a_juicer,_you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a “Soft-serve” creamydessert, to be eaten right away. This makes a fun activity for a children's party; they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.5．What does the author seem to like about cherries?A．They contain protein.B．They are high in vitamin A.C．They have a pleasant taste.D．They are rich in antioxidants.6．Why is fresh lemon juice used in freezing bananas?A．To make them smell better.B．To keep their colour.C．To speed up their ripening.D．To improve their nutrition.7．What is “a juicer” in the last paragraph?A．A dessert. B．A drink.C．A container. D．A machine.8．From which is the text probably taken?A．A biology textbook.B．A health magazine.C．A research paper.D．A travel brochure.Passage 3[2018·贵阳适应性考试]Toronto in Canada is one of those cities that people visit and then dream of living in. It's large, but not too large; prosperous(繁荣的), but not expensive. But most importantly, Toronto is very open and tolerant. The city, the capital of the region of Ontario, is one of the world's most multicultural cities.The fact that 140 languages are spoken in the city tells a story. What's more, 12.5 percent of the city's population is Chinese.With all the different groups in the city, you'd expect a variety of foods to try. And, sure enough, there are many different restaurants in Toronto, from Vietnamese to Ethiopian. Many of them are found in the Kensington Market area, where there's also music tohear and art to see.This multicultural background is probably one of the reasons that many people consider it a mysterious place. Speaking to BBC News, blogger Alyssa James said: “The city doesn't give up its secrets easily. I love Toronto because you really have to love and know it.”Toronto is a great place to explore if you want to get the most out of it. James mentioned the beaches, which are close to the city and have wonderfully clean sand and water. The good thing is that getting around in Toronto is easy, since it has a very good public transport system. It also has a reputation of being home to many talented computer geniuses. So, if you're hoping to work in the technology industry, Toronto is a place to consider moving to.With all this to offer, it's not surprising that this Canadian city is an attractive destination, whether you're going on a vacation or even looking for a home.9．What do people think of Toronto in Canada?A．A place people used to visit most.B．The largest city in Canada.C．The most expensive city.D．An open and tolerant place.10．What can we learn about Toronto?A．People can experience different cultures.B．12.5% of the residents are from France.C．Vietnamese foods are the most popular.D．People can appreciate only African music.11．What make people think Toronto a mystery?A．Computer geniuses.B．Residents.C．Diverse cultures. D．Beaches.Passage 4[2018·合肥质检]Theaters of the PastThe Greek TheaterTheaters developed in many parts of Greece. Ancient Greek theaters were built in natural open air sites on conveniently shaped hills. This allowed a great mass of people to enjoy a show at a time. Due to this, actors placed emphasis on exaggerated(夸张的) action and speech. And, colorful symbolic masks and costumes were used.The Medieval TheaterThe Medieval theater started in churches. That's why medieval plays were about Bible stories. At first, it became a custom for priests (牧师) to act out brief scenes during Christmas and Easter.These acts attracted large crowds. Finally the church refused to allow priests to participate in any such events again, so ordinary people began these performances outside. Performances were set in the town square, with several stage settings around it.The Elizabethan TheaterThe England's theater developed rapidly in the years following the defeat of the Spanish Navy. The dominant feature of Elizabethan theater was the stage. It has three parts：The fore stage for outside scenes; the inner stage for scenes inside a building; an upper stage or balcony for various purposes. The reason for this design is that there were no scene changes, or breaks during the play. Very little scenery was used, so the actors had to create a scene through their voices and dialogues. This led to a more poetic script, and poets became the main source of script writing.The Restoration TheaterSome of the plays told sad stories, but the majority of the plays were really funny. Many specialized machines were used to create the scene. The stage was a very clever idea, in that on the sides ofthe stage large back shutters(百叶窗) were painted with the scene.12．Why were ancient Greek theaters built on hills?A．To hold a large audience.B．To build a big and strong stage.C．To have a better sound effect.D．To emphasize exaggerated performances.13．In which theater could actors' voices and speech help create scenes?A．The Greek Theater.B．The Medieval Theater.C．The Elizabethan Theater.D．The Restoration Theater.14．What is special about the Restoration Theater?A．Colorful masks were used.B．The stage was smartly designed.C．Most of its plays were sorrowful.D．Ordinary people were the performers.Passage 5[2018·广西考前联合模拟]The future of Australia's solar industry is looking bright after a record 3.5m panels(嵌板)were installed on rooftops last year, giving the equal output of a medium-sized coal-fired power station. The record 1,057 MW of capacity (产能) in small scale systems installed across the country broke the previous record set in 2012, figures from the Clean Energy Regulator showed on Tuesday.Australia's solar power prosperity could almost double capacity in a year. The data also revealed that the average system size has also doubled since then from three to six kilowatts as average prices continued to fall. A fully installed 5KW system costs an average of $5,930 in Australia, according to the energy broker Solar choice. net. au. Its records show that the price has roughly halved in many capital cities since 2012.The regulator's executive general manager, Mark Williamson, said there was increasing interest in renewals as a way to takecontrol of electricity bills. But more importantly, he said it was also good news for reducing carbon emissions.“We are seeing a wide cross section of Australians —households, community centers, schools, and small businesses —receiving rewards under the small scale renewable energy scheme，”Williamson sai d, “Our data shows consumers are embracing renewable energy to take control of their electricity bills.”In 2017, there was a 41% increase in installing renewable energy capacity across all states and territories compared to 2016. Queensland led the way with installed capacity at 295MW, with the Australian Capital Territory taking top place for the biggest annual increase by 57%. “The data collected by the Clean Energy Regulator in 2017 reflects the industry is going from_strength_to_strength. It looks like 2018 will be another big year for the solar industry.”The total of installed capacity for last year is expected to rise to 1,070MW when all the data is collected.

What is the biggest feature of the renewable energy according to Mark Williams?A．Reducing pollution.B．Providing enough energy.C．Lowering electricity bills.D．Simplifying installed equipment.Passage 6[2018·深圳调研]Lost cities that have been foundThe White CityIn 2015, a team of explorers to Honduras in search of “the Lost City of the Monkey God” led to the discovery of the White City. They found the ruins in the Mosquitia region of the Central American country — which is known for poisonous snakes, vicious jaguars and deadly insects. It is believed that local people hid here when the Spanish conquerors(征服者)occupied their homeland in the 16th century.Canopus and HeracleionModern researchers were teased by the ancient writings about the Egyptian cities Canopus and Heracleion —where Queen Cleopatra often visited. But the cities weren't found until 1992, when a search in Alexandria waters found that the two cities had been flooded for centuries. Artifacts(史前器物)showed that the cities once highly developed as a trade network, which helped researchers piece together more about the last queen of Egypt.Machu PicchuA Yale professor discovered “the Lost City in the Clouds” in 1911. A combination palaces, plazas, temples and homes, Machu Picchu displays the Inca Empire at the height of its rule. The city, which was abandoned in the 16th century for unknown reasons, was hidden by the local people from the Spanish conquerors for centuries, keeping it so well preserved.TroyThe ancient city of Troy in Homer's The Iliad was considered a fictional setting for his characters to run wild. But in 1871, explorations in northwestern Turkey exposed nine ancient cities layered(层叠)on top of each other, the earliest dating back to about 5,000 years before. It was later determined that the sixth or seventh layer contained the lost city of Troy and that it was actually destroyed by an earthquake, not a wooden horse.19．Why did people hide in the White City in the 16th century?A．To survive the war.B．To search for a lost city.C．To protect their country.D．To avoid dangerous animals.20．Which of the following was related to a royal family member?A．The White City.B．Canopus and Heracleion.C．Machu Picchu.D．Troy.21．What can we learn about Troy?A．It was built by Homer.B．It consisted of nine cities.C．It had a history of 5,000 years.

Over the years, there have been a number of different techniques to help designers approach this important point. 37 , they can get a little complex. But good news is that there’re really only three kinds of decisions you need to make about color in your home: the small ones, the medium ones, and the large ones.38 .

They require a bigger commitment than smaller ones, and they have a more powerful effect on the feeling of a space.The large color decisions in your rooms concern the walls, ceilings, and floors. Whether you’re looking at wallpaper or paint, the time, effort and relative expense put into it are significant.40 .A. While all of them are usefulB. Whatever you’re looking forC.

And the Good Morning Britain presenter says she's been able to put a lot of what she's learnt into practice in her own home, preparing meals for sons, Sam, 14, Finn, 13, and Jack, 11.“We love Mexican churros, so I buy them on my phone from my local Mexican takeaway restaurant，” she explains. “I pay ￡5 for a portion(一份), but Matt makes them for 26p a portion, because they are flour, water, sugar and oil. Everybody can buy takeaway food, but sometimes we're not aware how cheaply we can make this food ourselves.”The eight-part series(系列节目), Sa v e Money：Good Food, follows in the footsteps of ITV's Sa v e Money: Good Health, which gave viewers advice on how to get value from the vast range of health products on the market.With food our biggest weekly household expense, Susanna and Matt spend time with a different family each week. In tonight's Easter special they come to the aid of a family in need of some delicious inspiration on a budget. The team transforms the family's long weekend of celebration with less expensive but still tasty recipes.1．What do we know about Susanna Reid?A．She enjoys embarrassing her guests.B．She has started a new programme.C．She dislikes working early in the morning.D．She has had a tight budget for her family.2．How does Matt Tebbutt help Susanna?A．He buys cooking materials for her.B．He prepares food for her kids.C．He assists her in cooking matters.D．He invites guest families for her.3．What does the author intend to do in paragraph 4?A．Summarize the previous paragraphs.B．Provide some advice for the readers.C．Add some background information.D．Introduce a new topic for discussion.4．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Keeping Fit by Eating SmartB．Balancing Our Daily DietC．Making Yourself a Perfect ChefD．Cooking Well for LessPassage 2[2018·武汉5月调研]The Maltese Islands are rich in Neolithic (新石器时代的)sites. Ggantija in Gozo, Tarxien, and the Hagar Qim/Mnajdra Complex here on Malta's south coast are perhaps the most well-known. These piles of stones are some of the earliest known manmade structures in the world. They are showing their age a bit but what would you expect for buildings that are five and a half thousand years old. My house was built in the year 2000 and is already in bad condition round the edges. These temples are older than the pyramids!In my opinion the temples are best seen after the visitors have left. Come with me for a late afternoon walk down the hill past Hagar Qim towards the Mnajdra Complex. There are chain link fences around the temples now but we can ignore those and try to image why Maltas earliest people went to the trouble of building these structures on this windy and poor hillside.Of course the temples would have looked rather different when they were constructed. They may have beendecorated with pigments and possibly even roofed with animal skins or other materials. Who knows? We do know that they were changed and added to over a 1,000-year period or so.Getting to Mnajdra and Hagar Qim is easiest if you have a car.

And you must not let anything prevent you from taking those first steps.... You must also commit to the adventure. Just have faith in the skills and the knowledge you've been blessed(赐予)with and go.J．K. Rowling, Harvard UniversityHalf my lifetime ago, I was striking an uneasy balance between my ambition and the expectation from my parents who were not rich...But what I feared most of myself at your age was not poverty, but failure. The fact that you are graduating from Harvard suggests that you know little about failure, you might be driven by a fear of failure quite as much as a desire for success.Steve Jobs, Stanford UniversitySometimes life's going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith...

Thirty years later and now a U．S. Geological Survey research geologist, Thieler, is combining science and smartphone technology to help study an endangered bird, the Atlantic Coast piping plover.The piping plover is a shorebird that breeds(繁殖)along theAtlantic Coast, the Great Lakes and the Great Plains. Rising sea levels associated with climate change, as well as increased development in their beach habitats(栖息地), threaten the species(物种). To help track changes in piping plover habitats, Thieler developed a free app called iPlover in 2012. This is a marked change from the typical way scientists collect data, which involves gathering information using specialized equipment or writing in notebooks and then putting into spreadsheets.Since releasing iPlover, scientists have gathered data across 1500 km of breeding range. That equals about a third of the distance across the U．S., which is a large area to cover for only two thousand breeding pairs of piping plovers on the east coast. Instead of having to travel and spend days at each site, a number of cooperators in the field use the app to collect and send data, allowing scientists to gather data more efficiently. It also allows them to collect data at the same time during each breeding season, providing a better picture of changes that happen over longer periods of time. And fast, centralized access means scientists can look at data quickly to get a real-time idea of where and how piping plovers are using their habitats.While iPlover is used by trained field staff, other apps like the U. S. Geological Survey's web-based “iCoast —Did the Coast Change？”invite citizen scientists to identify coastal changes by comparing bird's-eye-view photographs taken before and after storms. All the information scientists and citizen scientists alike collect helps federal and state agencies create policy plans for addressing climate change impacts (影响) worldwide.12．What can we know about the piping plover?A．Its behaviour is changing.B．Its habitat is growing bigger.C．Its living environment is becoming worse.D．Its breeding is limited to the Atlantic Coast.13．Why did Thieler develop iPlover?A．To study shorelines across America.B．To advance information technology.C．To find out global climate change.D．To monitor changes of piping plover habitats.14．Which of the following benefits the shorebirds?A．The camping equipment.B．Research on smartphones.C．The changeable coast.D．Progress in technology.15．What would be the best title of the text?A．Protecting Endangered ShorebirdsB．Rob Thieler, a Creative ScientistC．IPlover, Tool for Training Field StaffD．Differences Between IPlover and ICoastPassage 5[2018·甘肃诊断]Amazon China, one of the largest online booksellers, unveiled the best-selling books in China for the first half of 2018 on Tuesday, disclosing Chinese people's reading habits.Japanese author KeigoHigashino's Miracles of the Namiya General Store topped the list of the most popular paper books, followed by late Chinese writer Yang Jiang's We Three and Israeli historian Yuval Noah's Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorro w. In the list of paid eBooks on Kindle, the top three places were taken by Chinese writer Zhou Meisen's In the Name of the People, KeigoHigashino's Miracles of the Namiya General Store and Fall of Giants— book one of British author Ken Follett's historical Century Trilogy.Amazon has also released a ranking of Chinese cities where people read most. Hefei and Zhengzhou occupy the first and second spot respectively for the second straight year. The ranking was based on the ratio of books sales compared to the volume of all products sold on Amazon during the first six months of the year.Popular TV dramas have increased the sales of the original books. In the Name of the People, an anti-corruption novel, has become the most favored choice on Kindle's paid eBooks and theeighth popular printed book in Amazon. The company has attributed the sales success to the novel's super TV adaptation, and it went online in March. Statistics show the purchases of the book's e-version increased 24 times three months after its screening, and printed copies rose 12 times. Hong Kong author Isabel Nee Yeh-su's The First Half of My Life is another example. The recent TV adaption of the novel caused a book buying craze in China.

B．News.C．Sports. D．Entertainment.Passage 6[2018·西南名校联盟质检]As Artificial Intelligence (AI), becomes increasingly complicated, there are growing concerns that robots could become athreat. This danger can be avoided according to computer science professor Stuart Russell, if we figure out how to turn human values into a programmable code.Russell argues that as robots take on more complex tasks, it's necessary to translate our morals into AI language.For example, if a robot does chores around the house, you wouldn't want it to put the pet cat in the oven to make dinner for the hungry children. “You would want that robot preloaded with a good set of values.” said Russell.Some robots are already programmed with basic human values. For example, mobile robots have been programmed to keep a comfortable distance from humans. Obviously there are cultural differences, but if you were talking to another person and they came up close in your personal space, you wouldn't think that's the kind of thing a properly brought-up person would do.It will be possible to create more complicated moral machines, if we can find a way to set out human values as clear values.Robots could also learn values from drawing patterns from large sets of data on human behavior. They are dangerous only if programmers are careless.The biggest concern with robots going against human values is that human beings fail to do sufficient testing and they've produced a system that will break some kind of taboo.One simple check would be to program a robot to check the correct course of action with a human when presented with an unusual situation.If the robot is unsure whether an animal is suitable for the microwave, it has the opportunity to stop, send out beeps (哔哔声音), and ask for directions from a human. If we humans aren't quite sure about a decision, we go and ask somebody else.The most difficult step in programming values will be deciding exactly what we believe is moral, and how to create a set of moral rules. But if we come up with an answer, robots could be good for humanity.20．What does the author say about the threat of robots?A．It may be considered as a challenge to computer programmers.B．It accompanies all machinery involving high technology.C．It can be avoided if human values are translated into theirlanguage.D．It has become an unavoidable danger as technology gets more complicated.21．What does the underlined word in Para. 7 mean?A．Aggression. B．Rudeness.C．Ignorance. D．Forbiddance.22．How could robots learn human values according to the passage?A．By interacting with humans in everyday life situations.B．By following the daily routines of civilized human beings.C．By picking up patterns from massive data on human behavior.D．By imitating the behavior of properly brought-up human beings.23．What should a well-programmed robot do when facing an unusual situation?A．Keep a distance from possible dangers.B．Stop to seek advice from a human being.C．Set off its built-in alarm system at once.D．Do sufficient testing before taking action.。

2018届高考英语冲刺集训Day 12 7选5阅读(4)
Day 12 7选5阅读(4)Passage 1文体：说明文词数：377 限时：8分钟Family ValuesTo understand a nation, you should first get to know its minimum unit—family. 1In the US, upon reaching an appropriate age, children are encouraged, but not forced, to “leave the nest” and begin an independent life. 2 Parents do not arrange marriages for their children, nor do children usually ask permission of their parents to get married. Young adults meet their future spouses(配偶) through other friends, at jobs, and in organizations and religious institutions. Although children choose their own spouses, they still hope their parents will approve of their choices.Parents feel that children should make major life decisions by themselves in many families. A parent may try to influence a child to follow a particular profession but the child is free to choose another job.3 A son may deliberately decide not to go into his father’s business because of a fear that he will lose his independence in his father’s workplace. This independence from parents is not an indication that parents and children do not love each other. Strong love between parents and children is universal and this is no exception in the American family.4 It is not like we Chinese. Parents are rulers and masters. We Chinese love our parents with fear and total respect. In America, children always have their own opinions and even can talk about some sensitive problems with their parents, like family financial situation, the relationship between mother and father, and even sex.5 Therefore, it is contrary that, on one hand, Americans admire independence and equality that they don’t want to make sacrifice to make up a family, but on the other hand, Americans think highly of family in their value system.A.In the American family, children and parents are equal.B.It can reflect the traditional values and customs of a nation.C.When it comes to big problems, children do not have to always follow their parents’ ways.D.After children leave home, they often find social relationship and financial support outside the family.E.Although Americans pay much attention to independence and equality, they don’t believe in making sacrifice.F.Sometimes children do precisely the opposite of what their parents wish in order to declare their independence.G.Many of them are expected to leave what could be life’s most important decision—marriage almost entirely up to luck.Passage 2文体：说明文词数：252 限时：7分钟How to Sleep BetterIf you’re having trouble getting good sleep through the night (turning, waking up more than once, for example), this text will tell you what you can do to ensure a peaceful night’s sleep.1.Get on schedule. Changing your sleeping time by more than an hour can severely disturb your sleep quality. 1 For example, if you normally wake up at 6 a.m. on weekdays to get to work, you might go to bed around 10 p.m., because that’s when you start to feel sleepy, and it’s also a good time to ensure 8 hours of sleep. If, on the weekend, you sleep until 9 a.m., you probably won’t be able to fall asleep that night until 1a.m.2. 2 Wait at least three hours after dinner before going to sleep. Digestion slows down while asleep, and a full stomach may interrupt sleep. Similarly, you should avoid going to bed with an empty stomach, as a completely empty stomach may equally disturb your sleeping patterns.3. 3 Exposure to light during the time when you’re supposed to be sleeping can disrupt your body’s internal clock. Turn your light off, or use a very dim night light 4 They include windows, LED clocks, computer lights and cable boxes.4.Change your sleeping position. You may think that it’s impossible to control wha t position you sleep in since you aren’t fully aware of what you are doing, but it is possible and it can make a considerable difference. 5A.Try to avoid all sources of light.B.Keep the room as dark as possible.C.Make note of unusual circumstances.D.Be mindful of what you eat or drink before bed.E.Sleep is considered to be adequate only when there is no daytime sleepiness.F.In other words, sudden change of sleeping time will affect your “biological clock”.G.So if you wake up in the middle of the night, make an effort to have a comfortable position.Passage 3文体：说明文词数：233 限时：7分钟Although different universities in the US have different admissions policies, most determine admission based on several standards, including a student’s hig h school course of study, high school Grade Point Average(GPA), participation in activities, SAT or ACT exam scores, a written essay, and possibly a personal interview.The university admissions office considers whether a student has taken courses in high school that, have prepared him or her for more difficult coursework. A student’s high school GPA is also considered.1 Each letter grade is assigned a number of points: A=4 points, B=3, C=2, D=1 and F=0 point. A GPA is calculated by adding all of the points earned for each course grade and dividing the total points by the total number of courses taken. 2Universities prefer to see applications from high school students who have engaged in activities in their spare time, such as clubs, athletic teams and student government. 3Most students in the US take the SAT Reasoning Test or the ACT during their final year of high school. Each university sets a minimum SAT or ACT score that a student must achieve in order to be admitted. These are standardized quantitative examinations. The SAT tests critical reading, math and writing skills. 4Students are often required to write an essay as part of the application process. 5 The applicants may also be required to have a personal interview with a representative from the admissions office.A.A student who fails a required course must repeat the course.B.A GPA is a figure representing a student’s accumulated grades.C.Each admissions office determines the length and content of the essay.D.For example, a GPA of 3.0 is a “B” average for all of the courses taken.E.A student graduates after he or she has successfully passed all the required courses.F.The ACT tests English, math, reading, science reasoning and optional writing.G.V oluntary participation in these activities shows students have learned valuable life lessons.Passage 4文体：说明文词数：234 限时：7分钟Americans use the term “college students” to refer to students either in colleges or universities. Not only that, Americans almost never say “going off to university” or “when I was in university”. That sounds British. 1 College, university：what’s the difference? 2 Both offer undergraduate degrees in the arts and sciences, for example. And both can help prepare young people to earn a living. But many colleges do not offer graduate studies. Another difference is that universities are generally bigger. 3Another place of higher education, especially in technical areas, is an institute, like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Yet even an institute of technology can offer a wide choice of programs and activities.Modern universities developed from those of Europe in the Middle Ages. The word “university” came from the Latin university, describing agroup of people organized for a common purpose.4 In England, colleges were formed to provide students with places to live. Usually each group was studying the same thing. So college came to mean an area of study.The first American universities divided their studies into a number of areas and called each one a college. This is still true. 5 For example, Harvard College is the undergraduate part of Harvard University.Programs in higher learning can also be called schools, like a school of engineering or a medical school within a college or university. You know, learning all these terms is an education in itself.A.There are more universities than colleges in the USA.B.A college can also be part of a university.C.“College” came from collegium, a Latin word with a similar meaning.D.They offer more programs and do more research.E.Universities and colleges offer students different opportunities.F.Colleges and universities have many things in common.G.Instead, they say “going off to college” or “when I was in college”.答案及解析Passage 1【语篇导读】本文介绍了美国家庭的价值观，他们崇尚独立和平等，虽然不愿意为家庭做出牺牲，但是在他们的价值体系中，家庭仍然是不可或缺的。

Color is fundamental in home design—something you’ll always have in every room. A grasp of how to manage color in your spaces is one of the first steps to creating rooms you’ll love to live in. Do you want a room that’s full of life? Professional? Or are you just looking for a place to relax after a long day? 36 , color is the key to making a room feel the way you want it to feel.Over the years, there have been a number of different techniques to help designers approach this important point. 37 , they can get a little complex. But good news is that there’re really only three kinds of decisions you need to make about color in your home: the small ones, the medium ones, and the large ones.38 . They’re the little spots of color like throw pillows, mirrors and baskets that most of us use to add visual interest to our rooms. Less tiring than painting your walls and less expensive than buying a colorful sofa, small color choices bring with them the significant benefit of being easily changeable.
