Four Best gives you a description of what each of these parks has to offer.Aquatica OrlandoAquatica Orlando brings the best of an aquarium, zoo, water park and amusement park together into one experience. With 38 slides, 84,000 acres of white sand beach, you can easily spend the entire day enjoying the Florida sun with your family. Don’t miss the Dolphin Plunge, a clear tube water slide that takes you through the dolphin habitat.LEGOLAND FloridaLEGOLAND Florida, the largest LEGOLAND park in the world, features 50 rides, shows and attractions spread out over the Lego-strewn 150-acres. If you’re traveling with younger kids, LEGOLAND makes a great choice since it’s designed for kids between the ages of 3 and 12. Besides, Buddy is our walk-around character mascotof the park. He’s tall, yellow, friendly, and loves taking pictures with LEGOLAND Florida guests.Discovery CoveWith guest access restricted to 1,300 per day, Discovery Cove feels morelike a resort than a theme park. Without crowds to worry about, you’ll get to enjoy up-close animal meetings with dolphins, sting rays, tropical fish and exotic birds. It’s all-inclusive too, so you won’t have to worry about food, towels or equipment.Disney’s Animal KingdomAt the Animal Kingdom, Disney changes the concept of a zoological park to something completely new. Here you can take a ride through the wilds of Africa, complete with real animals, raft down the Amazon or ride a runaway train through Mount Everest. The park is home to about 1,500 animals representing 250 species.(1)Which theme park will parents probably choose for their five-year-old child?A . Aquatica Orlando.B . Discovery Cove.C . LEGOLAND Florida.D . Disney’s Animal Kingdom.(2)What can people do in Disney’s Animal King dom?A . Watch real animals.B . Take pictures with Buddy.C . Watch tropical fish face to face.D .

In the classic TV production, one scene in particular impressed me: when Mrs. Darling puts her children into bed. As she turns off the last of the night light, she takes one last look at the bedroom and say s, “Dear night lights, protect my sleeping children.” As a mother, I know how much she loves her children.It has been several weeks since we took our daughter to college and she seems to be adjusting well after a short period of homesickness. For us, tho ugh, it’s another story. Like most parents, I love checking in on my children at night. But now she’s gone, and I find nighttimes the hardest. I miss her most at night.In my neighborhood, most of the parents whose kids are off to college are dealing with similar melancholy. My husband is filled with anxiety. One friend talked about getting this sick feeling in her stomach as she prepared for the college drop-off. We complained that many of us were too busy to truly enjoy being with our children while we had them.For us moms, seeing Toy Story 3 only made the sadness worse as we watched the character Andy, who is the same age as our kids, say goodbye to his childhood as he prepares to leave for college. And it’s not just “first-time” parents like me. Two m oms who have kids already well into college said the separation didn’t get any easier. “You feel like something has been taken away from inside you” said one of them.I imagine things will get easier with time, especially as I see my daughter adjust to college life. Meanwhile, as I keep my cell phone close to me in bedand text my daughter goodnight and sweet dreams every night, I like to think that messages serve as a night light that keeps her safe.(1)The writer was deeply impressed by the scene in Peter Pan because ________.A . she watched the scene with her daughterB . the scene was very exciting and interestingC . the scene taught her and her daughter a good lessonD . the scene showed a mother’s deep love for her children(2)After her daughter went to college, the writer ________.A . realized she hadn’t done enough for her daughterB . often cried as she missed her daughter so muchC . failed to have a good sleep every nightD . didn’t get used to the change for a long time(3)What is the underlined wor d “melancholy” in Paragraph 3 similar in meaning to?A . Happiness.B . Sadness.C . Excitement.D . Anger.(4)According to the last paragraph, why did the writer keep her cell phone close to her in bed?A . To say good night to her daughter.B . To wait for h er daughter’s calls.C . To wait for her daughter’s messages.D . To call her daughter any time.4. 阅读理解A machine that takes sweat-laden clothes and turns the sweat into drinking water is in use in Sweden. The machine makes the clothes turn round quickly, heats them to remove the sweat, and then passes the steam through a kind of special material to make purified water.Since it has been brought into use, its creators say more than 1000 people have drunk others’ “sweat” in Gothenburg. They add the liquid is cleaner than local tap water.The device was built for the United Nations’ child-focused charity UNICEF to promote a campaign highlighting the fact that 780 million people in the world lack access to clean water.The machine was designed and built by the engineer Andreas Hammar, known locally for his appearances on TV tech show “Mekatronik”. He said the key part of the sweat machine was a new water purification part developed by a company named HVR.“It uses a technique called membrane distillation ,”he told the BBC. “We use a special kind of material that only lets steam through but keeps bacteria, salts, clothing fibers and other things out. They have something similar to the International Space Station, but our machine is cheaper to build. The amount of water it produces depends on how sweaty the person is, but one person’s T-shirt typically produces 10ml, about a mouthful.”The device has been put on show at the Gothia Cup-the world’s largest international youth football tournament. Mattias Ronge, chief executive of Stockholm-based advertising agency Deportivo, said the machine had helped raise awareness for UNICEF, but in reality had its limitations.“People haven’t produced as much sweat as we hoped – right now the weather in Gothenburg is lousy,” Mattias Ronge said. “So we’ve equipped the machine with exercise bikes and volunteers are cycling like crazy. Even so,the demand for sweat is greater than the supply. And the machine will never be produced in large numbers, since there are better solutions out there such as water purifying pills.”(1)Which of the following is the disadvantage of the sweat machine?A . The amount of water the machine produces is rather limited.B . It takes too long for the machine to produce water.C . It costs a large amount of money to build the machine.D . The water processed by the machine is not clean enough.(2)UNICEF is mentioned in the text to ________.A . show how the sweat machine worksB . show the importance of the United NationsC . explain why the sweat machine was inventedD . tell us who invented the sweat machine(3)What did Mattias Ronge think of the sweat machine?A . It could only be used in summer.B . It was not worth popularizing.C . It did not work at all.D . The water it produced tasted sweet.(4)The text is written mainly to tell us that ______________.A . 780 million people in the world lack access to clean waterB . a machine which turns sweat into drinking water is inventedC . a better solution to purifying dirty water is discoveredD . the pill which turns dirty water into clean water is produced5. 阅读理解Yesterday night, over a dinner with my elder brother’s family, a topic of happiness came up. My wife, Marla, a psychologist, was sharingCsikszentmihalyi’s concept of “flow” with us. Marla explained that according to the research on flow, people are happiest when they are absorbed in a task that is just challenging enough for them to experience a sense of mastery.A few moments later my brother, Yuri, offered the following opinion: “The first and only, necessary and sufficient factor for happiness is to stop associating happiness with pleasure. The two —happiness and pleasure —have nothing to do with each other.” This morning, with my cup of coffee, I searched through a pile of books on my bedside table and—at the bottom—found a book by Bertrand Russell, I started reading but didn’t finish. In it, I found the following thought:“The human animal, like others, is adapted to a certain amount of struggle for life, and when by means of great wealth homo sapiens can gratify all his whims without effort, the mere absence of effort from his life removes an essential ingredient of happiness.”The conversation came full circle: people are happiest when they are in a state of flow …which is the effortful devotion in a moment…which has nothing to do with pleasure.Indeed, as Yuri insisted : happiness–as–pleasure is a myth; the association between happiness and pleasure is nothing but a semantic habit; psychologically, the two—happiness and pleasure—are arguably different; and breaking up this association between pleasure and happiness might, in fact, be a powerfully first step in pursuit of happiness.As I look back on that exchange, I recall that there was an effort, a struggle to find a common understanding about this seemingly difficult idea—a struggle that made me happy.(1)The author wrote this text mainly to ________.A . look back on the happy nightB . advise readers to read Bertrand RussellC . tell readers how to be happiestD . show different opinions on family gathering(2)According to Marla, people feel happiest when they ________.A . get what they want without effortB . master the happiness around themC . involve themselves in a challenging taskD . experience things that can bring pleasure(3)What writing style is used by the author to explain happiness?A . Giving examples.B . Using quotes.C . Making comparisons.D . Offering arguments.(4)The best title of the text may probably be ________.A . The struggle for lifeB . Happiness as pleasureC . A topic over the dinnerD . The effort for happiness三、单词拼写6. A balanced diet plays a very important part, since it is b________to one’s health.7. After the meeting, he r________himself to the fact that he was fired.8. We aren’t supposed to look down on pe ople with d________like the blind, the deaf etc.9.

阅读理解If you could have one superpower, what would it be?Dreaming about whether you would want to read minds, see through walls, or have superhuman strength may sound silly, but it actually gets to the heart of what really matters in your life.Every day in our work, we are inspired by the people we meet doing extraordinary things to improve the world.They have a different kind of superpower that all of us possess: the power to make a difference in the lives of others.We’re not saying that everyone needs to contribute their lives to the poor.

Volunteer or, if you can, contribute a little money to a cause. Whatever you do, don’t be a bystander. Get involved. You may have the opportunity to make your biggest difference when you’re older. But why not start now?Our own experience working together on health, development, and energy the last twenty years has been one of the most rewarding parts of our lives. It has changed who we are and continues to fuel our optimism about how much the lives of the poorest people will improve in the years ahead.【1】What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.Your life style.B.Your life value.C.Your trouble in life.D.Your life experience.【2】Why does the author say they are inspired every day?A.They possess different kinds of superpowers.B.They have got the power to change the world.C.Some people around them are making the world better.D.There are many powerful people in their life and work.【3】What does the author stress in Paragraph 5?A.Learning more and contributing more to a cause.B.Rising above self and acting to help others.C.Working hard to get a bigger opportunity.D.Trying your best to help the poor.【答案】【1】B【2】C【3】B【解析】这是一篇议文章。

We complained that many of us were too busy to truly enjoy being with our children while we had them.For us moms, seeing Toy Story 3 only made the sadness worse as we watched the character Andy, who is the same age as our kids, say goodbye to his childhood as he prepares to leave for college. And it’s not just “first-time” parents like me. Two moms who have kids already well into college said the separation didn’t get any easier. “You feel like something has been taken away from inside you” said one of them.I imagine things will get easier with time, especially as I see my daughter adjust to college life. Meanwhile, as I keep my cell phone close to me in bed and text my daughter goodnight and sweet dreams every night, I like to think that messages serve as a night light that keeps her safe.4.The writer was deeply impressed by the scene in Peter Pan because ________.A.she watched the scene with her daughterB.the scene was very exciting and interestingC.the scene taught her and her daughter a good lessonD.the scene showed a mother’s deep love for her children5.After her daughter went to college, the writer ________.A.realized she hadn’t done enough for her daugh terB.often cried as she missed her daughter so muchC.failed to have a good sleep every nightD.didn’t get used to the change for a long time6.What is the underlined word “melancholy” in Paragraph 3 similar in meaning to? A.Happiness. B.Sadness.C.Excitement. D.Anger.7.According to the last paragraph, why did the writer keep her cell phone close to her in bed? A.To say good night to her daughter.B.To wait for her daughter’s calls.C.To wait for her daughter’s messages.D.To call her daughter any time.A machine that takes sweat-laden (浸满汗水的) clothes and turns the sweat into drinking water is in use in Sweden. The machine makes the clothes turn round quickly, heats them to remove the sweat, and then passes the steam through a kind of special material to make purified water.Since it has been brought into use, its creators say more than 1000 people have drunk others’ “sweat” in Gothenburg. They add the liquid is cleaner than local tap water.The device was built for the United Nations’ child-focused charity UNICEF to promote a campaign highlighting the fact that 780 million people in the world lack access to clean water.The machine was designed and built by the engineer Andreas Hammar, known locally for his appearances on TV tech show “Mekatronik”. He said the key part of the sweat machine was a new water purification part developed by a company named HVR.“It uses a technique called membrane distillation (膜蒸馏),” he told the BBC.“We use a special kind of material that only lets steam through but keeps bacteria, salts, clothing fibersand other things out. They have something similar to the International Space Station, but our machine is cheaper to build. The amount of water it produces depends on how sweaty the person is, but one person’s T-shirt typical ly produces 10ml, about a mouthful.”The device has been put on show at the Gothia Cup-the world’s largest international youth football tournament. Mattias Ronge, chief executive of Stockholm-based advertising agency Deportivo, said the machine had helped raise awareness for UNICEF, but in reality had its limitations.“People haven’t produced as much sweat as we hoped – right now the weather in Gothenburg is lousy,” Mattias Ronge said. “So we’ve equipped the machine with exercise bikes and volunteers are cycling like crazy. Even so, the demand for sweat is greater than the supply. And the machine will never be produced in large numbers, since there are better solutions out there such as water purifying pills.”8.Which of the following is the disadvantage of the sweat machine?A.The amount of water the machine produces is rather limited.B.It takes too long for the machine to produce water.C.It costs a large amount of money to build the machine.D.The water processed by the machine is not clean enough.9.UNICEF is mentioned in the text to ________.A.show how the sweat machine worksB.show the importance of the United NationsC.explain why the sweat machine was inventedD.tell us who invented the sweat machine10.What did Mattias Ronge think of the sweat machine?A.It could only be used in summer.B.It was not worth popularizing.C.It did not work at all.D.The water it produced tasted sweet.11.The text is written mainly to tell us that ______________.A.780 million people in the world lack access to clean waterB.a machine which turns sweat into drinking water is inventedC.a better solution to purifying dirty water is discoveredD.the pill which turns dirty water into clean water is producedYesterday night, over a dinner with my elder brother’s famil y, a topic of happiness came up. My wife, Marla, a psychologist, was sharing Csikszentmihalyi’s concept of “flow” with us. Marla explained that according to the research on flow, people are happiest when they are absorbed in a task that is just challenging enough for them to experience a sense of mastery(熟练).A few moments later my brother, Yuri, offered the following opinion: “The first and only, necessary and sufficient factor for happiness is to stop associating happiness with pleasure. The two — happiness and pleasure —have nothing to do with each other.” This morning, with my cup of coffee, I searched through a pile of books on my bedside table and—at the bottom—found a book by Bertrand Russell, I started reading but didn’t finish. In it, I found the following thought:“The human animal, like others, is adapted to a certain amount of struggle for life, and when by means of great wealth homo sapiens can gratify all his whims (突发奇想) without effort, the mere absence of effort from his life removes an essen tial ingredient of happiness.”The conversation came full circle: people are happiest when they are in a state of flow (Csikszentmihalyi’s language )…which is the effortful devotion in a moment…which has nothing to do with pleasure.Indeed, as Yuri insisted : happiness–as–pleasure is a myth; the association between happiness and pleasure is nothing but a semantic(语义的) habit; psychologically, the two—happiness and pleasure—are arguably different; and breaking up this association between pleasure and happiness might, in fact, be a powerfully first step in pursuit of happiness.As I look back on that exchange, I recall that there was an effort, a struggle to find a common understanding about this seemingly difficult idea—a struggle that made me happy. 12.The author wrote this text mainly to ________.A.look back on the happy nightB.advise readers to read Bertrand RussellC.tell readers how to be happiestD.show different opinions on family gathering13.According to Marla, people feel happiest when they ________.A.get what they want without effortB.master the happiness around themC.involve themselves in a challenging taskD.experience things that can bring pleasure14.What writing style is used by the author to explain happiness?A.Giving examples. B.Using quotes.C.Making comparisons. D.Offering arguments.15.The best title of the text may probably be ________.A.The struggle for life B.Happiness as pleasureC.A topic over the dinner D.The effort for happiness二、完形填空Back to SchoolI had always longed to get a degree, but raising a family had come first. Now with my last16 in middle school, I thought, why not try to 17 something while I still had the opportunity. When I told my husband Bob my idea, a broad smile lit up his face. “If that’s what you 18 , we’ll make it work.”When we asked the kids for advice, they had mixed 19 .Our daughter, already in college, thought it a great idea while John, in high school, was 20 that we might be in college at the same time.

高二4月阶段考试英语试题

江苏省淮阴中学2020-2021学年高二4月阶段考试英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读选择You are standing in a hall packed with friends, family, colleagues and peers. You are about to walk onto the stage and address theme. You’re expected to say something meaningful and profound and everyone is hanging on your every word. You need to be clearly spoken, confident and calm, maybe even funny. How do you feel?If you’re shaking, sweating and looking for the exit, you’re normal. Most of us are scar ed of public speaking and yet, as a society, we’re becoming more obsessed with hearing what people have to say: we watch endless TED talks, download podcasts and screen hours of YouTube clips. Being able to address a crowd is no longer the domain of the brave—if you want to get ahead in your career, you need to master it. I’ve done enough public speaking to have picked up some tips and tricks, and these are the ones I rely on most.The most important thing is to prepare. You don’t have to write out your spe ech word by word but get the headline, three key points and the concluding sentence on paper and put bullet points under each. Then run through it and note which of your bullet points made it in and what you added. Adapt your notes and try again. Keep going until you have a structure.Now it’s time to watch yourself—yes, get out your camera and film yourself. This is how you will see the points that need work and where you can polish it up.Most of the information the audience will take away will be from your energy and your tone, a little from your words. Once you have sorted out the words, focus on how to exude(散发) the right energy—do you need confidence or humor? I go for confidence so, five minutes before a talk, I try to recall a success I’ve had. I foc us on the details and aim to bring that feelings of competence to life.Finally, breathe. We cannot speak without breath, yet it is the first thing we let go of when we are nervous. Settle your breathing before you start. If you lose control of your breath in the middle, say “Let’s take a moment to think about that last point.” That gives you a pause to collect your breath. The only way to get over a fear of public speaking is to do it, again and again. You will have good and bad experiences but, if you do it enough, you’ll realize that, occasionally, it’s fun.1.According to the author, why is public speech important to the average?A.Friendships can be established through it.B.Public speeches can display our courage.C.There are more occasions for pubic speeches.D.It is beneficial to our way up the career ladder.2.Which of the following tips is recommended by the author?A.Preparing and writing down every detail.B.Displaying right energy during the speech.C.Watching famous films of public speeches.D.Telling key points and bullet points apart.3.What view does the author hold about public speaking?A.It creates more and more fun if we stick to practice.B.It is easier to practise at home than to perform outside.C.Experiences of public speaking can delight us sometimes.D.Attempts to give public speaking tend to fail in the end.Cafes are everywhere these days,offering as many varieties of coffee as there are ways to have it served.And this leads to a range of prices,from cheap grab—and—go coffee,to the ultra—expensive artisanal coffee(匠人咖啡).However,an increasing number of Western consumers are happy to pay a little more for their cup in order to ensure that it comes from an ethically(道德地)produced and sustainable source.At The Attendant,a cafe in east London,staff attempt to make customers aware of the story of the beans that they are drinking and the impact they are having by choosing to drink ethically.For a start,it can make coffee farmers better off,according to figures from the UN’s World In tellectual Property Organization(Wipo).Ryan de Oliveria,The Attendant’s co-founder and chief executive,says the extra income allows farmers and their families to have a better quality of life.It also makes investing or reinvesting in their business possible.Wipo’s figures show smarter processing,branding and marketing make a huge difference to the growers and their communities.Technology now means that the beans can be tracked all the way from the farm to the cup.The research shows that for a pound(454g)of beans going to a supermarket,the export price is$1.45.Most of this goes to the farmer.The price almost doubles when the beans are he aded for large western coffee chains.But farmers exporting their beans to artisanal cafes make over $5 per pound.That’s be cause the coffeeaddicts who frequent these places are happy to pay more.It seems that it’s a win—win situation for the farmers,cafes and consumers.So much so that more established coffee businesses are jumping on the band wagon by buying up(并购)artisanal rivals who have already accepted this way of doing things.If that’s thecase,then the future of coffee production looks a little fairer for all.4.What does paragraph 1 focus on?A.The varieties of coffee.B.The range of coffee prices.C.The popularity of artisanal coffee.D.The reason for customers to pay more for coffee.5.Where can you find the data that best support“growing artisanal coffee is beneficial”? A.In paragraph 1.B.In paragraph 2.C.In paragraph 3.D.In paragraph 4.6.What do the words“jumping on the band wagon”in the last paragraph probably mean? A.Making a large profit.B.Following the general trend.C.Gaining a good reputation.D.Avoiding the fierce competition.7.What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?A.To advocate ethical coffee.B.To advertise coffee business.C.To help customers to save money.D.To introduce the art of processing coffee.When a laptop or smartphone battery starts losing its power,the only options are to buy an expensive replacement,or just keep it plugged in all the time.But a woman Mya Le Thai may have found the answer to this problem.Thai was frustrated that the batteries for her wireless devices degraded(降级)over time,until they failed to charge fully.She did not like having to keep her laptop connected to an electrical outlet to keep it powered on.So,she decided to do something about that problem.At first,she and her team at UC Irvine thought about inventing a new battery.But as they experimented,Thai discovered something that might permit lithium—ion(锂离子)batteries to last forever.Lithium-ion batteries power most wireless devices.Over time,the batteries lose the ability to hold a charge.Most of these batteries have a life span of about 7,000 charging cyclesbefore they die.One of the reasons lithium—ion batteries degrade is their use of nanowires to carry electricity.Nanowires are extremely thin.A human hair is thousands of times thicker,for example.Nanowires are extremely efficient carriers of electricity,which makes them useful in batteries.But,Thai had a theory—the nanowires might last longer if covered with a gel(凝胶).She and her team tested this theory.“It was a long process and a lot of work,”Thai said.The team tried many coverings for the wires.PMMA,a type of plastic,was one of them.The nanowires were coated with PMMA and cycled through charges 200,000 times.The PMMA-coated nanowires showed no evidence of damage.The results suggest that batteries could last forever,without losing charging ability.Thai hopes to continue her research to understand why this gel works so well and to see if any other gel could create better results and she is enjoying the publicity about her discovery.She said she never expected her research to get media coverage.“It’s kind of cool,”she said.“I'm really glad people are showing interest in my work and not just in the work itself,but also in technology and energy.”8.Why did Mya Le Thai work on lithium-ion batteries?A.She disliked the batteries for her laptop.B.Her team were assigned to invent a new battery.C.Many people thought batteries were too expensive.D.The batteries would soon lose the function to charge fully.9.What can we infer about nanowires?A.They last only 7,000 charging cycles.B.They are too weak to carry electricity.C.They are not suitable to use in batteries.D.Their thinness is a cause of batteries degrade.10.What might be Thai and her team’s breakthrough?A.Coating nanowires in gel.B.A new kind of battery.C.New materials for batteries.D.A new way of charging batteries.11.What may be the best title for the passage?A.The options of batteries for wireless devicesB.A woman invents a life—long battery.C.Mya Le Thai discovered NanowiresD.The reasons for batteries degradingChina will give the green light to Internet medical services conducted by medical institutions as part of a broader push to promote Internet Plus Healthcare, those at a State Council executive meeting chaired by Premier Li Keqiang decided.Medical institutions will be allowed to provide online diagnostic services for some common and chronic diseases in patients' follow-up visits to their doctors. The top levels of hospitals will be encouraged to provide online services, including consultations (会诊), reservations and test result inquiries.As China joins the ranks of middle-income countries, the demand for health services has increased accordingly. Internet Plus Healthcare can help reduce the problem of inaccessible and expensive public health services that have long been a big concern for the general public.One decision coming out of the meeting says the intelligent review for health insurance will be applied and the one-stop settlement will be advanced. The real-time sharing of prescription and drug retail sales will be explored, as well.“We must waste no time in pushing forward the measures once the decisions made.” Li said. “In recent years, top-level hospitals in major cities have seen steady increases in the number of patients. Medical bills have become a heavy burden on families and high-end medical resources still fa ll short of meeting the growing demand of the public.”To solve the problem, a two-pronged (双管齐下的) approach must be taken. One is to establish medical partnerships to strengthen cooperation between major hospitals and community clinics. The other is to bring forward Internet Plus Healthcare to promote the sharing of quality medical resources.The government will see to it that long-distance healthcare services cover all county-level hospitals. So more efforts will be made to ensure that high-speed broadband network will be extended to cover medical institutions in urban and rural areas. Dedicated internet access services will be set up to meet the needs for long-distance healthcare services. 12.According to the text, which of the following services won’t a patient enjoy online? A.Receiving a medical operation.B.Asking doctors for advice after the test.C.Several doctors discussion about the disease.D.Making an appointment with a doctor in advance.13.Why is the demand for health services increasing in China?A.The expense of medical care.B.The recognition of health insurance.C.The improvement of people's life quality.D.The inconvenience of hospital equipment.14.What does Li mean by saying “We must waste no time in pushing forward the measures”? A.The bills are impossible to afford.B.The situations are urgent to improve.C.The measures are perfectly worked out,D.The hospitals are unwilling to admit patients.15.What can be the suitable title for the text?A.Modern HospitalsB.Online Healthcare on its WayC.No More Burden for General PeopleD.Wide Applications of Internet Service二、七选五Three Ways to Self-fund CollegeThe idea that parents should pay for their children’s college education is a nice one, but it’s far from a reality for many students. 16.Whatever the case may be, it’s time to take a good look at your options for funding college on your own.Turn over every stone.If you’ re not a straight-A genius who could easily win college scholarships, there’s good news:17.Check out these popular College Confidential threads to see which awards average and above-average students are aiming at. Are your parents retirees? Are you a first-generation student? Is your family attached to any church or community groups? (Seriously, there are scholarships for all those things.) The secret to scoring major cash is following every possible source of funding.18.Instead of going straight to a four-year institution, many students are choosing to start out at an affordable community college and transfer later.19.If these are options that could work for you, just be sure you have a solid plan in place, and don’t let yourself get sidetracked fromyour goal of earning a college degree.Take what you can get.Remember that not all valuable contributions are monetary(与钱有关的. It’s time to sit down with your parents and have a serious talk about other expenses they might be able to help you with.20.You can save several thousand per year on housing. What about books, meals, and other expenses? Even relatively small savings can be a huge leg up in the long run.

The Discovery Was Scheduled to soar at 10:14 AM on a blue sky September day I'd seen it 36 so many times on television, 37 now I was only minutes away from seeing it launch. And it's the final demonstration of the nature of success: Success Takes 38Like a Rocket.Standing close to the Space Shuttle drives home one 39 point — the Shuttle is the height of a 15-story building — it weighs 4.5 million pounds — and NASA is trying to lift it 200 miles off the ground. On TV the accomplishments look so much 40 , so much easier.Crowds of people are standing around with you to watch the Shuttle go. The countdown begins through the small 41 of hundreds of portable radios ail tuned to the NASA station. Ifs enough to get your heart 42 out of your chest.When time is up, the 43 booster rockets are lit up and the eight explosive bolts followed. The first things you see are large white steam clouds exploding away. Through the 44 . you see the fire power. Then the Space Shuttle begins to inch off the pad and climb its way 45 . Thousands upon millions of pounds of push can 46 lift the shuttle at all. But with ever increasing ease, the shuttle 47 up and roars into the sky, headed into space attaining a speed of over 17,000 mph.It is within the first two minutes to launch the Space Shuttle 48 the great success lesson is 49 . Fact: 85% of the shuttle's fuel is consumed 50 the first 2 minutes just to get the 15-story super structure to its orbital altitude.And that's exactly 51 success takes off: The first steps you take towards launching a successful career are the hardest and will require an enormous 52 of energy—a great big 53 . However, If you persist through the 54 period, which can seem almost 55 for quite some time, everything gets easier and easier and your results get bigger and bigger.36.A.lift up B.rise up C.go up D.raise up 37.A.and B.therefore C.but D.however 38.A.Up B.Off C.In D.Over 39.A.unforgettable B.invalid C.unstable D.ineffective40.A.greater B.smaller C.bigger D.smoother 41.A.workers B.actors C.rockets D.speakers 42.A.striking B.knocking C.beating D.hitting 43.A.front B.side C.overhead D.bottom 44.A.mist B.steam C.smoke D.gas 45.A.downward B.upward C.forward D.outward 46.A.hardly B.nearly C.mostly D.exactly 47.A.takes B.makes C.Picks D.warms 48.A.which B.who C.that D.as 49.A.present B.apparent C.ordinary D.absolute 50.A.beyond B.below C.within D.above 51.A.when B.how C.why D.where 52.A.enquiry B.qualification C.competence D.consumption 53.A.pull B.push C.pressure D.principle 54.A.theory B.launch C.circulation D.orbit 55.A.useless B.careless C.wireless D.priceless五、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
