    More students than ever before are taking a gap-year (间隔年) before going to university. It used to be called the “year off” between school and university. The gap-year phenomenon originated with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.

    This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by University and College Admissions Service (UCAS).

    That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,” he said.

    But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students(NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship –young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their

    education. “New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university with up to ￡15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree. NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacation periods,” he said.

    1.What do we learn about the gap year from the text?

    A. It is flexible in length.

    B. It is a time for relaxation.

    C. It is increasingly popular.

    D. It is required by universities.

    2.According to Tony Higgins, students taking a gap year_________.

    A. arc better prepared for college studies

    B. know a lot more about their future jobs

    C. are more likely to leave university in debt

    D. have a better chance to enter top universities

    3.What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics?

    A. Attend additional courses.

    B. Make plans for the new term.

    C. Earn money for their education.

    D. Prepare for their graduate studies.

    Why do people drink too much, eat too much, smoke cigarettes or take drugs? What’s to blame for all the bad behavior? Most people would say that, while these self-destructive (自我毁灭的) acts can have many root causes, they all have one obvious thing in common: they are all examples of failures of self-control, lacking the will power to resist（抵抗） them.

    According to a recent study, however, if you really think about it, something about that simple answer doesn’t quite make sense. In fact, it turns out that sometimes it’s having will power that really gets you into trouble.

    Think back to the time you took your very first sip of beer. Disgusting, wasn’t it? When my father gave me my first taste of beer as a teenager, I wondered why anyone would voluntarily drink it. And smoking? No one enjoys their first cigarette — it tastes awful. So even though smoking, and drinking alcohol or coffee, can become temptation (诱惑) you need will power to resist, they never, ever start out that way.

    Just getting past those first horrible experiences actually requires a lot of self-control. Ironically (讽刺的是), only those who can control themselves well, rather than give in to them, can ever come to someday develop a “taste” for Budweiser beer, Marlboro cigarettes, or dark-roasted Starbucks coffee. We do it for social acceptance. We force ourselves to consume alcohol, cigarettes, coffee and even illegal drugs, in order to seem experienced, grown-up, and cool.

    These bad habits aren’t self-control failures — far from it. They are voluntary choices, and they are in fact self-control successes. Self-control is simply a tool to be put to some use, helpful or harmful. To live happy and productive lives, we need to develop not only our self-control, but also the wisdom to make good decisions about when and where to apply it.

    1. What do most people think causes bad behavior?

    A. Being forced by others.

    B. Not having enough will power.

    C. Enjoying their first experiences.

    D. Following the examples of their friends.

    2.The author mentions his experience in the third paragraph to prove ____.

    A. will power helps develop bad habits sometimes

    B. drinking beer is harmful to the health of teenagers

    C. self-control should be developed when one is young

    D. everyone can be challenged by different temptations

    3.In the last paragraph, the author stresses that ____.

    A. without self-control, no one can succeed

    B. bad habits don’t always lead to bad results

    C. applying self-control correctly is important

    D. people can develop wisdom from bad behavior

    4.What would be the best title for the passage?

    A. My First Sip of Beer B. Do You Have Will Power ?

    C. Will Power Benefits Us D. Dark Side of Self-control

    书面表达,请阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。

    The rise of selfie(自拍)photography in some of the world’s most beautiful and dangerous places is causing a range of interventions(干预措施)aimed at fighting risk-taking that has resulted in a string of shocking deaths worldwide.

    The act of taking a picture of oneself with a mobile phone, placing the subject centre-stage, has exploded in popularity in recent years, with everyone from Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II to U.S. President Barack Obama joining in.

    But the selfie has also inspired a lot of risk-taking and offensive public behavior, pushing the boundaries of safety and behavior, whether by hanging from a skyscraper or posing with live explosives.

    Several governments and regulatory bodies have now begun treating the selfie as a serious threat to public safety, leading them to launch public education campaigns reminding people of those against smoking and excessive drinking.

    Although I started learning English during my college years, when I entered the States, I only understood two English words “Yes” and “No”. We learned many grammar rules but we could not make the language connections to the real English world. Language frustration worries almost all first generation immigrants. For example, I got a letter from a Chinese-American who has lived in the States for a long time and has a good IT job saying “My 11-year-old girl writes quite well, but as her parents, we could not even read her article.”In addition, my Chinese-American professor friend has difficulty reading a novel. Improving our English skills has become a long journey for all of us. Honestly, if I have a chance, I really want to reach out to everyone in the world who has had a similar experience: learning a second language in adulthood. I wish I could encourage them to speak out about the culture shock, frustration they felt about the differences between West and East.

    I have mainly focused on my English writing since 2008 after I found “Literacy Volunteers”, an organization that specially focuses on helping immigrants improve their English. I decided to challenge myself, writing a story like an American. I saw many wonderful Americans there. As soon as I met my teacher Alice, I asked her to be my private language tutor and have taken Tims English class. Every week Alice and I have worked on my English essays sentence by sentence.

    To observe the culture differences between West and East, occasionally, I posted a few of my English essays online. I mentioned previously about American culture; when people read the same article or even face the same situation, American and Chinese act very differently. In my viewpoint, these differences make America the strongest country in the world. I know you have the right to express your own opinions, but accusing others without proof is not acceptable.

    1.The underlined word “frustration” in the first paragraph means .

    A. failure and setbacks B. words and problems

    C. understanding and progress D. slang and idioms

    2.In the passage, “Literacy Volunteers” is .

    A. only intended to help the Chinese-Americans

    B. an organization which is set up to make a profit

    C. of great use to people like the author

    D. a school showing how to enjoy literature

    3.From the last paragraph we can learn that .

    A. Americans and Chinese are of the same idea about something

    B. culture shock only exists between Chinese and Americans

    C. accusing others freely can be acceptable in America

    D. culture differences have great influence on the people

    4.The purpose of the passage is .

    A. to show how hard a Chinese-American lives in America

    B. to share her experience of improving her English

    C. to imply grammar rules are not important

    D. to warn Chinese-Americans of English

    A month after Hurricane Katrina，I returned home in New Orleans．There lay my house，reduced to waist-high rains，smelly and dirty．Before the trip，I’d had my car fixed．When the office employee of the garage was writing up the bill．she noticed my Louisiana license plate．“You from New Orleans? ”she asked．I said l was，

    “No charge．”She said，and firmly shook her head when I reached for my wallet．The next day I went for a haircut，and the same thing happened．
