【题目】阅读理解
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.
【答案】
【1】C
【2】A
【3】C
【解析】
试题分析：本文提到大学的学费高使得很多大学生在上大学前就要先去挣钱，然后再上大学学习，这样的好处是让学生更珍惜大学的时光，更成熟有责任感，但是也给人们带来了思考。
【1】C推理判断题。由文章第一段More students than ever before are taking a gap-year (间隔年) before going to university. 比以往任何时候有更多的学生都以休学一年去上大学。 It used to be called the “year off” between school and university. 过去被称为学校和大学之间的“一年”。今年的差距现象起源于及第三段第一句话That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. 可知体验间隔年数量上升了14.7%,说明越来越受到欢迎，可知间隔年越来越受到欢迎。故选C。
【2】A细节理解题。由人名定位到短文第三段，第三段在谈它的优点，有间隔之后在去上大学，会让人更成熟有责任感，对大学的学习有帮助。故选A。
【3】C细节理解题。根据文章最后一句话可知百分之九十的学生要在假期挣学费。故选C。

【题目】Give people a chance before you judge them because you really never know what’s going on beneath the surface. I am always reminded that judging a person by what others say or my first impression is usually wrong.
It’s so easy to make assumptions (臆想)and expectations about someone, just to find out they were completely false. The shy girl turns out to be one of the funniest girls I’ve ever met; the mean girl is actually very sensitive and loving; the cocky guy is unsure of himself, etc.
I hope there is a world where we stop judging a person by what they wear, their hairstyle, their job, their car; we simply love and accept them for who they are. Someone may have untidy hair because they over slept, or their clothes don’t match because their house burned down and lost everything. All I’m saying is, “can we focus more on what’s going on inside a person rather than the outside?”
There are so many people who seem like everything is just fine on the outside, but the inside is angry or hurting. They don’t know how to just be themselves or they’re afraid to because they may be seen as the “crazy” or “strange” persons.
I truly believe everything begins with ourselves. Before we can really stop judging others by the outside, we must stop judging ourselves. We must know how to treat ourselves first. Let’s stop getting in our own way and accept ourselves and others as we are.
【1】The underlined word “cocky” in Paragraph 2 probably means______.
A. lovely B. clever C. proud D. stupid
【2】When we judge a person, we should pay more attention to _______.
A. what he wears B. what he does or has
C. our first feelings and thoughts D. what’s going on inside him
【3】What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Don’t judge a book by its cover B. Judge a person by his outside.
C. Learn to just be yourselves. D. Accept what you are.

Dear Diana,
Thank you for the lovely day we have with you. It was so kind for you to let us

Dear Tom,
In your e-mail you ask me about how to choose a university based on its location. If you choose an university in your country, you may be have more chances to go back home visit your parents. Also, it easy for you to adapt to the new environment. After all, there’s not much different between different cities in the same country.
If they intend to go to a university out of your country, you’ll have different experiences. Live in a strange country can strengthen your ability to adapt to a new situation, which is of great benefit to you. Beside, the new experiences in a new place enables you to broaden your horizons and enrich your knowledge.
In a word, you can choose a university depending on your own situation. I hope my advice can help you.
