Passage 02

My senior year, I can’t believe it’s almost over. Now when I look back, it was stressful, but exciting, the ball, graduation, and then of course, college.

I started my college application process months before Christmas. My parents told me it would be smart if I set up interviews and tours. But I didn’t have a clear aim. I wanted to go to college, but I didn’t want to deal with the stress.

As the days flew by, my applications lay on my desk just as I had left them three months before. “You are wasting valuable time,”my parents complained. Sweeping away the gathered dust on the applications, I worked on them every Sunday until I finished. Next came writing the essays. I had many ideas, but every school had different requirements. I changed them until I was pleased. Finally, everything was underway.

Now I just had to wait. In March, I started receiving letters of rejection. I began to think that I had set myself up for disappointment. I had a letter from Salem State College stating that they wanted to see my third quarter grades before they made their decision. Yes! At least someone wanted to consider me. At the beginning of April, I received a letter from Keens State. I had been rejected. Those opening words”We regret to inform you...”made me sit down and cry. I had lost all hope. Then I heard from Plymouth State. Not my first choice, but...I had been accepted. Maybe if I get my grades up, I can transfer to another school....

The college application process hurt me deeply. All my friends had dozens of schools to choose from. I guess my parents were right. High school grades are undoubtedly important to your future plans. If I could do it all over again, I would take it more seriously.

20. How did the writer feel in the way of going to college?

A. Happy．B．Sad．C．Mixed．D．Changeable.

A．The writer thought senior year was stressful.

B．The writer didn’t set up interviews and tours.

C．The writer had a strong desire to get to college.

D．The writer was afraid of the pressure of college.

22．What does the underlined sentence mean?

A．The writer was fired by the college.

B．The writer was rejected by the college.

C．The writer couldn’t go to any college.

D．The writer couldn’t go to college forever.

23．The writer felt at the end of the passage.

A．honorable B．relieved C．regretful D．hopeless

Passage 03

Girls really prefer pink and boys prefer blue, recent research shows. The reasons could have its origins in the hunt for food on the African Savannah(稀树草原) thousands of years ago. Evolution may have developed women’s preference for pink, perhaps because it helped to find ripe fruit and healthy men with reddish faces, while both men and women have a natural desire for blue, according to scientists at Newcastle University. “Everyone in today’s western culture, from parents to toy manufactures, seems to assume that little girls like pink.”Said Prof. Anya Hulbert, who wanted to find out whether the reason was cultural or to do with biology. A love of salmon, fuchsia and coral does seem to be rooted into females, rather than picked up from their mothers. The participants in the study were Chinese and British. The Chinese students showed a marked preference for red, “Culture may contribute to this natural female preference,”said Pro. Hulbert. In her experience, 208 young adult men and women were asked to select, as rapidly as possible, their preferred color. Hulbert and her colleague Dr. Yazhu Ling marked the results and found that while men preferred blue, women tended to choose pink. Hulbert said she could only prefer about the preference for blue: “Here again, I would favor evolutionary arguments. Going back to our savannah days, we would have a natural preference for a clear blue sky, because it signaled good weather. Clear blue also signals a good water source.”

24.The passage mentions “the African savannah”to show that_____.

A. the ancient Africa was a beautiful place

B. human beings lived in Africa at first

C. women and men have different color preference

D. color preference has its historical origins

25. It can be inferred that the underlined word “fuchsia”_____.

A. is probably a kind of toy

B. is probably pink in color

C. can be only found in Africa

D. hardly causes men’s interest

26.By saying “the Chinese students for red.”In Para. 5, the writer means_____.

A. red is the Chinese students’favorite color

B. the Chinese prefer red more than the British

C. culture influences people’s color preferences

D. the study was carried out by two nations

27. What can we know from the last paragraph?

A. Hulbert thinks evolution explains why people prefer blue.

B. Hulbert has a strong desire for “savannah days”.

C. Blue is a natural signal of many good things.

D. While boys like blue, girls like pink.

Passage 04

The Bedouin people think most highly of people who show loyalty. To them loyalty does not mean that one is devoted to a country, a place, or a leader. Loyalty means being faithful to one’s family and tribe（部落）. The Bedouin people take pride in their ancestors（祖先）. They do not admire a hero from an ordinary or poor family as much as one who comes from an honored family. They particularly respect those who have received a good name from their ancestors and then have passed it on to their children. A man’s position among the black-tent people depends upon his ancestors, relatives, and fellow tribesmen. If they are honored, he is also honored. If they are disgraced, he too is disgraced. Therefore one carefully guards the honor of his family, his lineage （血统）, and his tribe. A man can protect his family’s honor by being brave and generous and by giving protection to those who ask for it. He also guards it by carefully watching the women of his family. A Bedouin woman cannot bring honor to her family, but she can bring disgrace. Even if a woman only looks as if she has done wrong, she may be killed. The honor of her family depends upon her virtue（美德）.

28.It can be inferred from the passage that a Bedouin man will feel disgraced if he____.

A. does not succeed in business

B. needs to ask for help from his brothers

C. does nothing when a member of his family is badly treated

D. does not help a stranger who asks for assistance

29. The Bedouin people respect those who____.

A. leave their families to seek success on their own

B. value their families more than anything else

C. become heroes with an ordinary family background

D. are devoted to their country

30.We can learn from this passage that Bedouin women are____.

A. treated as the equals of men

B. listened carefully when they tell their side of a story

C. respected for the many things they do

D. not respected as much as men

31. The word “disgrace”means ____in this text.

A. honor

B. danger

C. pride

D. shame

Passage 05

When asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, cloth and cars. A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected. It is a treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably you’ll have disagreements. And the result can be what you don’t want—an end to the relationship. The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. First, don’t let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, apologize when you’re wrong –even if you’ve been wronged. Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes. When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong. Third, see things from your friend’s point of view. And finally, accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyle change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion: Consider friendship an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture.

32．What would be the best title for the text?

A．Easy Ways to Make Friends B．Ups and Downs in Friendship

C．How to Mend a Troubled Friendship D．How to Take the Lead in Making Friends 33．The “wronged person”underlined in the text refers to a person .

A．who has been mistaken for another B．who has been blamed unfairly

C．who has treated friends badly D．who has admitted his mistakes

34．According to the text a friendship can last long only if ．

A．we have much in common B．we know our friends’mistakes

C．we treat our disagreements wisely D．we have know one another for long

35．What should we do if we follow the author’s second suggestion?

A．Stick to our own prints of view. B．Avoid making mistakes.

C．Make an apology first. D．Change our lifestyles.
