3．Why College Is Not Home
The college years are supposed to be a time for important growth in autonomy（自主性） and the development of adult identity．However，now they are becoming an extended period of adolescence，during which many of today's students are not shouldered with adult responsibilities．
For previous generations，college was decisive break from parental control； guidance and support needed come from people of the same age and from within．In the past two decades，however，continued connection with and dependence on family，thanks to cellphones，email and social media，have increased significantly．Some parents go so far as to help with coursework．Instead of promoting the idea of college as a passage from the shelter of the family to autonomy and adult responsibility，universities have given in to the idea that they should provide the same environment as that of the home．
To prepare for increased autonomy and responsibility，college needs to be a time of exploration and experimentation．This process involves"trying on"new ways of thinking about oneself both intellectually（在思维方面） and personally．While we should provide"safe spaces"within colleges，we must also make it safe to express opinions and challenge majority views．Intellectual growth and flexibility are fostered on debate and questioning
Learning to deal with the social world is equally important．Because a college community（群体） differs from the family，many students will struggle to find a sense of belonging．If students rely on administrators to regulate their social behavior and thinking pattern，they are not facing the challenge of finding an identity within a larger and complex community．
Moreover，the tendency for universities to monitor and shape student behavior runs up against another characteristic of young adults：the response to being controlled by their elders．If acceptable social behavior is too strictly defined（规定） and controlled，the insensitive or aggressive behavior that administrators are seeking to minimize may actually be encouraged．
It is not surprising that young people are likely to burst out，particularly when there are reasons to do so．Our generation once joined hands and stood firm at times of national emergency．What is lacking today is the conflict between adolescent's desire for autonomy and their understanding of an unsafe world．Therefore，there is the desire for their dorms to be replacement homes and not places to experience intellectual growth．
Every college discussion about community values，social climate and behavior should include recognition of the developmental importance of student autonomy and self-regulation，of the necessary tension between safety and self-discovery．
27．What's the author's attitude toward continued parental guidance to college students？B
A．Sympathetic
B．Disapproving
C．Supportive
D．Neutral
28．The underlined word"passage"in paragraph 2meansA．
A．change
B．choice
C．text
D．extension
29．According to the author，what role should college play？D
A．to develop a shared identity among students
B．to define and regulate students'social behavior
C．To provide a safe world without tension for students
D．To foster students'intellectual and personal development
30．Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage？C

I：Introduction P：Point Sp：Sub-point C：Conclusion．

7．If you live in a big city，there are many things to drive you crazy on your daily route，and it's not just overcrowded subway trains．
Vicky Zhao is a mainlander working in Hong Kong．For her，one thing she can't put up with is people standing on the wrong side of the escalator（自动扶梯）in subway stations．"Escalators help us move faster and save time．It isn't a place to rest，"the 24-year-old says．"I often see tourists block the way with their suitcases or chatting on the escalators during rush hours．It annoys me to no end．"
Admitting she is not the patient type，Zhao says things are much better in Hong Kong than in cities on the mainland where"stand right，walk left"signs are often ignored．
The logic behind the"stand right，walk left"escalator etiquette（礼仪）seems obvious．Even though you may want to catch your breath while you're transported up or down，you should still consider others and leave enough space for people in a hurry，so that they can run and catch the train．
Many cities'escalators，including London's and Beijing's，use the"stand right，walk left"system to speed up the flow of people．（Australia is an exception and you should stand on the left side instead．）But some cities discourage people from moving on escalators out of safety reasons．In Hong Kong's subway stations there are regular announcements asking people to"stand still"on escalators．Even so，most people in this fast-paced city observe the"stand right，walk left"etiquette．
But the people who stand on escalators defend themselves by telling the walkers not to be so impatient．The BBC quotes one stander as saying："If the person is in such a rush，why not just take the stairs？Even when the escalator is packed and there's nowhere to move，I see these same people complaining about not being able to pass．
Whatever the escalator etiquette is in the place you live or visit，do what most people are doing and always be mindful of others：leave enough space between each other，don't stay at the end of the escalator，and if someone is blocking your way，a simple"excuse me"is enough．
5．In the second paragraph，the underlined word It refers toC．
A．the author's living in the big city of Hong Kong
B．being crowded on the subway trains in rush hours
C．people's blocking the way or chat on the escalators
D．people's standing on the right side resting
6．When on the escalator，a majority of local people in Hong KongD．
A．stand still as the railway stations require
B．ignore the"stand right，walk left"signs
C．use the stairs instead of escalators
D．follow the"stand right，walk left"etiquette
7．What can be inferred from the 6th paragraph？A
A．Not everyone follows the"stand right，walk left"etiquette．
B．The BBC is against the"stand right，walk left"etiquette．
C．People should be patient and take the stairs if possible．
D．People shouldn't complain about the crowded escalators．
8．Which of the following statements is the writer's opinion？B
A．People should stand right no matter where they are．
B．People should do as the Romans do and consider others．
C．People should do as they like on the escalators．
D．People should be seriously critisized when they block the way．

17．From the moment that an animal is born it has to make decisions．It has to decide which of the things around it are for eating，and which are to be avoided； when to attack and when to run away．The animal is，in fact，playing a complicated and potentially dangerous game with its environment，discomfort or destruction．
This is a difficult and unpleasant business and few animals would survive if they had to start from the beginning and learn about the world wholly by trial and error，for there are too many possible decisions which would prove fatal．So we find，in practice，that the game is always arranged in favor of the young animal in one way or another．Either the animal is protected during the early stages of its learning about the world around it，or the knowledge of which way to respond is built into its nervous system from the start．
The fact that animals behave sensibly can be attributed partly to what we might call genetic learning，to distinguish it from individual learning that an animal does in the cause of its own life time．Genetic learning is learning by a species as a whole，and it is achieved by selection of those members of each generation that happen to behave in the right way．However，genetic learning depends upon a prediction that the future will more or less exactly resemble the past．The more variable individual experience is likely to be，the less efficient is genetic learning as a means os getting over the problems of the survival game．It is not surprising to find that very few species indeed depend wholly upon genetic learning．In the great majority of animals，behavior is a compound of individual experience and genetic learning to behave in particular ways
25．The survival game is considered complicated and potentially very dangerous becauseA．
A decisions made by animals may prove fatal
B animals are often in danger of being attacked
C．animals make decisions entirely by trial
D．environment is not fit for animals to survive
26．Most animals survive because they can make right decisions byD．
A．a series of trials and errors
B．knowledge obtained in their life time
C．the nervous system
D．genetic learning and individual experience
27．Concerning the relationship between genetic learning and individual experience，which of the following is right？C
A．They develop side by side
B．They are contradictory，but individual experience is the dominant
C．Genetic learning is likely to function more if individual experience doesn't vary much
D．Genetic learning is more efficient than individual experience
28．"Genetic learning"refers toB．
A．learning after an animal is born
B．learning obtained by some members of each generation who happen to behave properly
C．learning gained by all the members in a species
D learning gained by young animals from their experience
29．What cannot be inferred from the article？B
A The majority of animals depend thoroughly upon genetic learning
B Animal behave in particular ways as a result of both individual experience and genetic learning
C If animal depended wholly upon individual experience，its chance of survival would be little
D．Genetic learning depends on the assumption of resemblance between the future and the past．

4．In China，chain restaurants-especially the big multinational ones-are cool．Going to Starbucks，for example，is a status symbol．It not only says，"I'm rich enough to buy this overpriced coffee，"but also，"I'm cosmopolitan （见多识广的） enough to be part of globalization．"
Where I come from in the UK，however，chains are neither fashionable nor gourmet（美食的）．Chains are where you go on New Year's Day when nowhere else is open，or when you are 5years old and your parents can't stand hearing，"I'm huuuuuungry!"any longer．In my own case （with regards to McDonald's），a chain is where you are taken on your first"date"．Even at the age of 13，I knew to give the guy the"let's just be friends"phone call the next day．
In the UK，independent cafes and restaurants are making a comeback on the fashion scene．Nowadays，a Londoner who says"let's meet for a coffee at Monmouth"（an independent cafe） is much cooler than one who says"let's go to Starbucks"．Even if Monmouth's coffee is a little more expensive，there's a satisfaction in knowing your pounds aren't going straight to the big corporations．
Of course，there are chain stores all over the UK； you can't go five minutes without spotting a Costa Coffee．But numbers do not add up to good taste．
I do，however，have a confession （坦白）．After moving to China I had moments when all the rice and Kung Pao Chicken became too much．I，too，have   retreated  to McDonald's．
24．Many Chinese people like to go to multinational chain restaurants becauseC．
A．the restaurants give customers a taste of foreign culture
B．the restaurants offer different food and drinks from other restaurants
C．they believe that eating there will show their wealth and social status
D．these restaurants are perfect places for a romantic date
25．Which of the following statements is TRUE？C
A．The author has grown tired of Chinese food．
B．Branches of Monmouth's cafe can be found all over the UK．
C．Most independent stores are closed on New Year's Day in the UK．
D．It is cool in the UK to take your first date to a chain restaurant．
26．We can infer from the article thatD．
A．the author doesn't like food from Pizza Hut
B．the author doesn't like to follow fashion trends
C．many Britons think that numbers mean poor quality
D．many Britons don't like big corporations
27．What does the underlined word （in the last paragraph） mean？D
A．adapted
B．contributed
C．subscribed
D．switched．

2．For years，experts have been encouraging people to exercise，using steps as simple as taking the stairs instead of a lift and walking to work，where possible．A recent study bolsters this advice---it shows that frequent active exercise throughout the day can have great health benefits．
The study，published in the magazine Preventive Medicine，found that just 2minutes of stair-climbing several times a day can lower total cholesterol（胆固醇），raise HDL （"good"） cholesterol and improve the heartbeat in young women who do not have much activity during the day．"such improvements may have important effects on the health of women，since，like cigarette smoking，poor fitness have been shown to be a high risk for heart disease and death in women，"said Dr．Colin Boreham with the University of Ulster in Belfast，Ireland and the fellow researchers of this study group．Furthermore，improvements in total cholesterol levels achieved in the study could cut the rate of heart disease in women by a third，they noted．
The team of researchers from Britain studied 12women between 18-22years old，before and after the exercise program．The women used a public staircase for about 2minutes a day for 5days a week．Compared with a group of 10women who did not take part in the stair-climbing program，the women who climbed stairs showed marked improvements in health and fitness levels after 7weeks．However，they did not show any signs of weight loss．"A short-term stair-climbing program can give great health benefits to young women．Stair-climbing may be a particularly suitable way of combining exercise with an individual's daily lifestyle，"they pointed out．
Experts advise visiting your doctor before beginning a new exercise program．
5．The underlined word"bolsters"（ in Paragraph 1 ） means"D"．
