Many people in high school cannot wait to go to college and leave their hometown behind.Questions arise, though, when it comes to all of the decisions involved in choosing a college.

One of the first considerations may be finance. State and public colleges are often the least expensive. Often, though, the better colleges are private and more expensive. It is sad when gifted students cannot attend a college of their choice just for financial reasons.

Another major factor is location. Whether the college is in a small town or large city can have a major impact on its activities. A water lover probably will be more comfortable spending four years near an ocean or a lake.Those who cannot tolerate heat will probably be more comfortable at a northern college. Distance from home may also come into consideration.If family is a top priority, that person should stay close to home; on the other hand, if independence is desired, a campus farther from home would be more appropriate.

School size also plays a major role in the decision process. If you want to get to know your teachers, a small college is suitable. For those of you who consider yourself a “people_person” and want a wide range of activities, a large college is more fitting. Your area of interest is another factor to consider in the decision?making process if you want to get the most from your education. The whole point of college is to learn what is of interest to you.

Crucially(至关重要地), one must take into consideration the colleges by which you can realistically be accepted. An Ivy League school for an average student would probably not be a good match. Similarly, an average school for an above?average student would not work well. The college should provide enough of a challenge for the student to work hard.Although there may not be the perfect college out there, there probably will be one that is close.Those who cannot find a suitable college are probably not looking hard enough.

1.When it comes to going to college the author thinks ________.

A.students will become homesick

B.students are unwilling to leave their home

C.financial situation is the first to consider

D.students are eager to attend their ideal university

2.What is the main idea of the third paragraph?

A.The location of the college is a main factor.

B.A long distance will make students upset.

C.Students can be independent at college.

D.The climate must be taken into consideration.

3.What does the underlined part “people person” in the passage mean?

A.A very sociable person.

B.A very particular person.

C.A person of great capacity.

D.A person of great importance.

4.Which is the most important factor when choosing a college?

A.The location of a college.

B.The coming challenges.

C.School size.

D.The examination result.

I was very excited that I could not fall asleep in last night. Yesterday morning, I went to a big gardening company for a interview. When I was a little child, helping my grandfather grow flower in the garden was my favorite. All what I wanted to be was a gardener. When I get to the company, I found there were many people waiting there but I didn’t know whether I could get the job. While waited, I helped the workers there to remove the fallen trees and clear the road. Lucky, I was the only one that finally got the job, because the manager decided to give the job someone who was helpful.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中,选出最佳选项。

External bleeding.Apply direct pressure.Place a clean,folded cloth over the injured area and firmly apply pressure.If blood soaks through,do not remove it.Instead,cover that cloth with another one and continue to apply pressure to the wound for 7-10 minutes.If the bleeding is from the ear,place a clean bandage over the ear,lay the victim on his side,and allow the blood to drain out through the bandage.

Elevate the injury.Position the wounded part of the body above the level of the heart if possible while you apply direct pressure.

Know the pressure points.If direct pressure and elevation don't sufficiently slow the bloodflow,find a pressure point.Large arteries(动脉)found close to the skin's surface supply blood to the head and to each arm and leg.The most common pressure points used during the first aid are located in the upper arms and in the creases above the upper legs.Apply pressure to the closest pressure point to the wound so that the artery is pressed between your fingers and the bone directly behind the artery.If using the pressure point on a leg,you may need to use the heel of your hand instead of your fingers.

Resort to a tourniquet(止血带,压脉器).On very rare occasions everything listed above may fail.To prevent the victim from dying,you should apply a tourniquet.Once a tourniquet is applied,it should not be loosened or removed until the victim has reached medical help.Use a tourniquet only if everything listed above has failed.If you use a tourniquet,write down somewhere on the victim the time when it was applied,so medical persons will know how long it has been in place.

1.According to the passage,if a person is wounded and bleeding,you should ________.

A.cover the wound with a clean,folded cloth and press it

B.spread some salve(药膏)on the wound

C.press the wound firmly with your fingers

D.place a clean bandage over the wound

2.If blood soaks through the cloth,you should ________.

A.change a clean one immediately

B.wash the wound at once

阅读下面短文, 从A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch (大牧场) in San Isidro. He lets me use his house to hold events to raise money for youth at risk programs.

The last time I was there he greeted me by saying, “I want to tell you why I let you use my house. It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of a poor horse trainer who would go from stable (马厩) to stable, farm to farm, training horses. As a result, the boy’s high school was continually interrupted (打断). One day in the last year of high school, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to do when he grew up.

“He wrote a seven-page paper about his goal of owning a horse ranch in great detail. He put a great deal of his heart into the project and even drew a detailed floor plan for the dream ranch. Then the next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. But he got a low mark with a note that read, ‘See me after class.’

“The boy went to see the teacher after class and asked, ‘Why did I receive a low mark?’”

“The teacher said, ‘This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from a poor family. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. There’s no way you could ever do it.’ Then the teacher added, ‘If you will rewrite this paper, I will reconsider your mark.’

“The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, ‘Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you.’

“Finally, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all. He wrote, ‘You can keep the low mark and I’ll keep my dream.’”

1.Which of the following statements is TRUE about Monty Roberts?

A. He was born in a poor family.

B. He received a good education.

C. He is raising money for the poor.

D. He is a horse trainer who owns a big ranch.

2.From Paragraph 3, we know Monty Roberts _____.

A. was just a daydreamer

B. decided to follow his father’s example

C. expected the teacher to praise him

D. had a great plan for his future

3.The teacher thought Monty Roberts’s dream was _____.

A. strange B. great

C. pleasant D. impossible

A. careful B. clever

C. determined D. active

Based on new analysis, we are rapidly approaching major climate change and the effects on society and the environment could be quite severe.Geographers predict that within the next eighty years, current world climate zones could shift and some could completely disappear.Polar regions will get colder while tropical regions will get even hotter,forcing animals to migrate(迁徙) north.

Climate changes like these could lead to the spread of diseases.Tropical storms and hurricanes will not only increase but may also become more intense.If the changes come too quickly, animal and plant species may not be able to adapt fast enough and could disappear.

According to Science Daily, a new study predicts that by the year 2100,many of today's familiar climates will be replaced by climates unknown in today's world.It is urgent that we reduce the risks of these far?reaching consequences for the whole world.The planet itself has been showing signs of change.In 2004, a serious tsunami created by a major earthquake killed thousands in Sumatra and in 2008, thousands died in China because of another severe earthquake.Egypt was hit in 2009 with a major earthquake and Haiti was devastated in 2010 by yet another massive earthquake.

Within just the last few months, new reports from around the world have been coming in and most agree that our climate situation is much worse than previously thought.At this point, it doesn't matter what is causing it, but rather, what can be done about it.What's more, our world is getting more and more unstable every year.There is war and threat of war everywhere.Natural disasters are becoming more frequent and serious.

However, other planets are experiencing global warming as well as our own and some scientists believe there may be some connection between this.No one knows anything for sure at this point because there is simply not enough data.

A.Animal and plant species may not be able to adapt fast enough and could disappear.

B.It could lead to the spread of diseases.

C.Current world climate zones could shift and completely disappear.

阅读理解。

Five years ago, when I taught art at a school in Seattle, I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students. I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said: “Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today—and 45minutes each day for the rest of the week.”

A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see what the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.

Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students.

Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, “But I’m just not creative.”

“Do you dream at night when you’re asleep?”

“Oh, sure.”

“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “That’s pretty creative. Who does that for you?”

“Nobody. I do it.”

“Really—at night, when you’re asleep?”

“Sure.”

“Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay?”

1. The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to ________.

A. know more about the students

B. make the lessons more exciting

C. raise the students’ interest in art

D. teach the students about toy design

2. What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?

A. He liked to help his teacher.

B. He preferred to study alone.

C. He was active in class.

D. He was imaginative.

3. Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?

A. To help them to see their creativity.

B. To find out about their sleeping habits.

C. To help them to improve their memory.

D. To find out about their ways of thinking.
