【题目】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。

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 decisionmaking 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 aboveaverage 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.

【答案】

【1】C

【2】A

【3】A

【4】D

【解析】

试题分析:

【1】细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“One of the first considerations may be finance.”可知,作者认为经济问题是选择大学应考虑的首要问题。故选C。

【2】段落大意题。根据第三段第一句“Another major factor is location.”可知,选择大学应考虑的另一个主要因素是大学的地理位置,随后作者在第三段说明了应根据学校位置和其离家的远近来选择大学。A项“大学的位置是一个主要因素”符合本段大意。故选A。

【3】词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句子中的“want a wide range of activities”可知,画线词所表示的这种人是“想在大学期间参加很多活动的人”,即喜欢社交的人。故选A。

【4】推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“Crucially(至关重要地),one must take into consideration the colleges by which you can realistically be accepted.”可知,在所有的因素中,至关重要的一点是选择大学要从实际出发,要考虑到你能否被这所大学录取。由此可推知,个人的成绩是选择大学时最重要的因素。故选D。

【题目】阅读理解

Most people watching Jeremy Lin these past two months saw Jeremy Lin,New York Knicks star;but I,watching him,saw someone else.That was my elder brother,Bob,who is athletic and energetic. He could never sit still when he was in second grade;he had to get up every now and then and run around the room.And sure enough,he grew up to be a starting player for an NCAA championship lacrosse (长曲棍球) team.He was a Nikeendorsed marathoner,too,and reached the top of Mt.Everest,unguided,in his 50s.

And yet my family never watched his lacrosse games.We did watch some of his marathons,but that wasn’t until he was in his 20s.When Bob was in his glory days,our Shanghaineseborn parents were bent on getting him into medical school.There was a loving aspect to it:I can remember my father working through math books with him,lesson by lesson,at the big blackboard in the attic.Bob never did become a doctor,though;and neither did I.It wasn’t until my younger sister came along that someone in the family finally wore a white coat.

Bob today could be the fittest 58yearold on the planet.His doctor estimates his biological age at 35;he’s still big mountains in the Himalayas.And,like Jeremy Lin,he’s charming.No one sees Bob without leaving with a laugh.He sometimes jokes he could be mayor of his building,and it’s true.To know him is to cheer for him.

And yet my parents did not cheer for him.What if my mother had sat on the sidelines with her statistics,like Jeremy Lin’s mother?What if my father had played videos of athletes for my brother to watch and imitate?It’s hard not to wonder.

And how did Jeremy Lin’s parents manage to do these remarkable things?Amy Chua,the tiger mother,recalls her immigrant father beating the kids whenever they mispronounced a Chinese word.How is it that Jeremy Lin’s immigrant father in particular,GieMing Lin,encouraged his son to follow such an untraditional path?

【1】Bob’s glory days were those ________.

【题目】阅读理解

In a computer age, a broadband Internet connection is very popular now.Whether cable or mobile broadband, today's connections are many times faster than those in the early days.Videos play smoothly, complex websites load quickly, and files download much faster than ten years ago. And the files are much bigger too.

Technology experts often talk about the “last mile” problem, which refers to the difficulty of bringing Internet access to remote locations. In cities and suburbs(郊区), it's relatively easy to provide access for everyone. It is much more difficult to deliver access to those living far from cities,especially in developing countries. Internet service providers,for their part,have been reluctant to provide access to sparsely (稀疏地) populated areas. The handful of Internet users they would reach wouldn't cover the expense.

But every year,technological advancements allow of more and more Internet users.Most broadband connections today run over existing cable TV and telephone lines although these technologies aren't available everywhere.

Some companies have delivered the Internet over standard power lines.Advancements in cheaper and more efficient fiberoptic cables(光缆)promise to bring extremely fast Internet connections to more users.Still, the “last mile” problem remains hard to deal with.There will always be somewhere that doesn't have an affordable broadband connection. But someday that might not matter. If span>the rapid progress in cellphone technology has any indication, it may not be too long before an Internet connection simply follows you wherever you go.

【1】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.Internet connections have been popular everywhere.

B.Internet service providers are willing to care about rural customers.

C.The problem of Internet access hasn't been completely dealt with.

D.Computers can't become popular in developing countries.

【2】Paragraph 4 mainly tells us that technological advancements ________.

A.make TV and telephone available everywhere

B.bring great change to people's everyday life

C.bring faster Internet connections to users

D.make it possible for more people to use the Internet

【3】What may eventually settle the “last mile” problem?

A.The broadband connection's getting faster.

B.The rapid progress in cellphone technology.

C.More and more Internet connections.

D.More and more Internet users.

【4】The best title for this passage may be “________”.

A.Internet Connection Problems

【题目】Whether you' re a child, teenager, young adult or are middle-aged, respect for your parents is an important value. Your parents are the people who raised you, devoting time, energy and money to your development. 1 No matter your age, there are 5 ways to show respect.

● Respect their belongings.

One important way to show respect is to show regard for the things important to your parents. For younger children, this may mean not touching jewelry or other valuable things. For grown children, respect may mean returning a borrowed tool in good condition and on time. Lack of respect for a parent's belongings is a violation(违反,侵害) of personal boundaries(边界,界限). 2 And never borrow things without asking first.

● Punctuality .

3 Therefore, always be on time. For teenagers, showing up on time means coming home by curfew(宵禁). Adult children should show up on time for family dinners or events, or to pick a parent up for a medical appointment. Call if you're going to be late because parents worry about children, no matter their age.

4

Remembering birthdays, anniversaries and other special days is a sign that you honor your parents. Make plans to take them to lunch or dinner or bake a cake or cookies. Most parents don't expect expensive gifts, but a handmade gift is always appreciated .A phone call from a grown child who lives too far for a visit is a welcome sign of respect.

● Be kind.

Kind words and affection are simple ways to show respect. Tell your parents you love them. Listen and allow your parents to speak without interruption. Show a sincere interest in what your parents have to say. Be patient with your parents and don't rush them. Never talk back or be rude or disrespectful. Acknowledge your parents' achievements. 5

A. Don't take advantage of your parents' kindness and generosity.

B. Be a good listener.

C. Lateness indicates a lack of respect.

D. Treat your parents the way you would like to be treated.

E. Being respectful helps build positive relationships with others.

F. And they love you unconditionally throughout your life.

G.Celebrate with them.
