第三部分：阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Whether a student is moving to a new college or attending for the first time, there is a certain period of adjustment that's required. Students that have never previously attended college must adjust to life as college freshmen. With college, there comes a new level of responsibility in terms of education. Students are confronted with classes that are often more challenging. During their freshman year, students may feel at a loss or stressed about these changes to their new life. Fortunately, there are ways for students to adjust successfully to college life.
Get Involved
Getting involved in college activities can help freshmen adjust to college life. Activities can help students feel as if they are a part of their environment, and help them to relieve some of the everyday stress associated with classes and studying. Students may consider getting involved in clubs, sports, student organizations, or other activities that take place outside of the classroom. This will also allow them to meet and interact with new people on campus.
Stay Positive
Freshmen have a lot to adjust to and at times it can feel like too much to handle. When a student feels at a loss by meeting new people, adjusting to new professors, studying, and college life in general, he or she may start to feel negative about the whole experience.
When this happens, it is crucial that students stay positive with both their behavior and thoughts. Associating with people who have a positive outlook on their college experience and avoiding those who do not are great ways to feel better. Thinking of long-term goals will also help students feel more positive about college and education in general.
Go to Class
Attending classes is one of the most important student responsibilities. With the new found freedom that college brings, some freshmen may want to skip classes for other activities. At certain colleges, attendance is critical, particularly for classes that are in high demand. Failure to attend may cause a student to be dropped from the class. In classes where attendance is not taken, students may miss critical information necessary for their studies and may fail the class. Unless a student is ill, he or she should make every effort to attend all of their classes in a timely manner.
Communicate Productively
New college students may feel uncomfortable when it comes to communicating their needs. This difficulty could arise when it comes to speaking with professors or with fellow students, such as roommates. No matter where the problem falls, it is necessary for freshman to develop the confidence and the skills to communicate effectively. Speaking with confidence and respect will help students to get the information that they need and help them to avoid confusion or complications with other students.
46. Freshmen can reduce daily stress by__________.
A. meeting new people on campus every day
B. participating in college activities
C. pretending to be a part of their environment
D. starting clubs or student organizations
47. According to Paragraph 3, what factors may make freshmen feel depressed __________
A. Not knowing how to control their behavior and thoughts.
B. Meeting too many people with positive outlook.
C. Not knowing how to face the new life in college.
D. Thinking of long-term goals.
48. As is described in Paragraph 4, what happens if a student skip class __________
A. He or she can take part in other activities instead.
B. He or she may fail in the exam.
C. He or she is considered free to do so.
D. He or she may give up the class.
49. In communicating their needs, freshmen should __________.
A. speak to those who respect them
B. gain confidence from the other person
C. learn to be polite and confident
D. ask all the people around to make sure
50. What is the purpose of the passage __________
A. To point out the importance of college life.
B. To encourage freshmen to enjoy their first college year.
C. To help freshmen to adapt to college life smoothly.
D. To introduce the challenges that freshmen will face.
B
　　I'm an 18-year-old pre-medical student, tall and good-looking, with two short story books and quite a number of essays to my credit(学分). Why am I singing such praises of myself Just to explain that the attainment of self-pride comes from a great deal of self-love, and to attain it, one must first learn to accept oneself as one is. That was where my struggle began.
　　Born and raised in Africa, I had always taken my African origin as a burden. Myself-dislike was further fueled when my family had to relocate to Norway, where I attended a high pared to all the white girls around me, with their golden hair and delicate lips, I, a black girl, had curly hair and full, red lips. My nose often had a thin sheet of sweat on it, whatever the weather was. I just wanted to bury myself in my shell crying“ I'm so different!”
　　What also contributed to my self-dislike was my occasional stuttering(口吃), which had weakened my self-confidence. It always stood between me and any fine opportunity. I'd taken it as an excuse to avoid any public speaking sessions, and unknowingly let it rule over me.
　　Fortunately, as I grew older, there came a turning point. One day a white girl caught my eye on the school bus when she suddenly turned back. To my astonishment, she had a thin sheet of sweat on her nose too, and it was in November!“ Wow,” I whispered to myself,“ this isn't a genetic disorder after all. It's perfectly normal.” Days later, my life took another twist(转折). Searching the Internet for stuttering cures, I accidentally learned that such famous people as Isaac Newton and Winston Churchill also stuttered. I was greatly relieved and then an idea suddenly hit me—if I'm smart, 1 shouldn't allow my stuttering to stand between me and my success.
Another boost to my self-confidence came days later as I was watching the news about Oprah Winfrey, the famous talk show host and writer —she's black too! Whenever I think of her story and my former dislike of my color, I'm practically filled with shame.
Today, I've grown to accept what I am with pride; it simply gives me a feeling of uniqueness. The idea of self-love has taken on a whole new meaning for me: there's always something fantastic about us, and what we need to do is learn to appreciate it.
51. What affected the author's adjustment to her school life in Norway
A. Her appearance.
B. Social discrimination.
C. Her changing emotions.
D. The climate in Norway.
52. What did the author's occasional stuttering bring about according to Paragraph 3
A. Her lack of self-confidence.
B. Her loss of interest in school.
C. Her unwillingness to greet her classmates.
D. Her desire for chances to improve herself.
53. How did the author feel on noticing the similarity between her and the girl on the bus
A. Blessed and proud.
B. Confused and afraid.
C. Amazed and relieved.
D. Shocked and ashamed.
54. What lesson did the author learn from the cases of Newton and Churchill
A. Great minds speak alike.
B. Stuttering is no barrier to success.
C. Wisdom counts more than hard work.
D. Famous people can't live with their weaknesses.
55. What can best summarize the message contained in the passage
A. Pride comes before a fall.
B. Where there is a will, there is a way.
C. Self-acceptance is based on the love for oneself.
D. Self-love is key to the attainment of self-pride.
C
　　Everyone looks forward to progress, whether in one's personal life or in the general society. Progress indicates a person's ability to change the way he is living at the moment. Progress must lead a better way of doing things. All these, however, remains true only in so far as people want to accept technology and move forward by finding new and more efficient ways of doing things.
　　However, at the back of the minds of many people, especially those who miss the “good old days”, efficiency comes with a price. When communication becomes efficient, people are able to contact one another no matter where they are and at whatever time they wish to. The click of a button allows people miles apart to talk or to see each other without even leaving their homes. With the communication gadgets, such as mobile phones and ipads, people often do not take the effort to visit one another personally. A personal visit carries with the additional feature of having to be in the person's presence for as long as the visit lasts. We cannot unnecessarily excuse ourselves or turn the other person off.
　　With efficiency also comes mass production. Such is the nature of factories and the success of industrialization today. Factories have improved efficiency. Unskillful tasks are left to machines and products are better made and produced with greater accuracy than any human hand could ever have done. However, with the improvements in efficiency also comes the loss of the personal touch when making these products. For example, many handcrafts are now produced in a factory. Although this means that supply is better able to increase demand, now that the supply is quick and efficient, the demand might fall because mass production lowers the quality of the handicraft and it is difficult to find unique designs on each item.
　　Nevertheless, we must not commit the mistake of analyzing progress only from onepoint of view. In fact, progress has allowed tradition to keep up. It is only with progress and the invention of new technology that many old products can be brought back to their old state. New technology is required for old products to stay old.
It is people's attitude towards progress that causes the type of influence that technology has on society. Technology is flexible. There is no fixed way of making use of it. Everything depends on people's attitude. The worst effects of progress will fall on those who are unable to rethink their attitudes and views of society. When we accept progress and adapt it to suit our needs, a new “past” is created.
56. According to Paragraph 1, progress can benefit people when they are willing to ________.
A. live an advanced life
B. look for better technical methods
C. change ways of living at the moment
D. accept technology and advance steadily
57. The author explains “ efficiency comes with a price ” by ________.
A. describing a process
B. using examples
C. following time order
D. making classification
pared with home- made handicrafts, machine made products ________.
A. lack great accuracy
B. lack the personal touch
C. are of high value
D. are quite welcome
59. What can be learned about technology from Paragraph 4
A. It can destroy new traditions.
B. It can lead to social progress.
C. It can be used to correct mistakes if necessary.
D. It can be used to preserve old products.
60. What can be concluded from the last paragraph
A. Progress can suit the needs of daily life.
B. People review the past with great regret.
C. Technology should be introduced in a fixed way.
D. People's attitude decides the use of technology.

阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。
　　Mike Sullivan, a former construction worker, took up woodworking after he and his wife, Judy, retired. He was enjoying carving things in his workshop, but he wanted to create something with more purpose.
　　Sullivan had been thinking about the single present he'd received in 1954 when he was growing up in a small mining town. His father earned $1 a day and couldn't afford a New Year gift. He then made a small wooden horse, which Sullivan considered the best New Year present ever.
　　Sullivan talked about it with Judy and they decided to start making wooden toys to give away to kids on New Year's Day. That first year, they made 360 toys.
　　The Sullivans now make about 1,500 toys each year to donate to local children's charities, school districts and homeless shelters. Local businesses give them much of the wood, but the couple still dip into their own money every year to keep their workshop running. “My sales policy is not to collect a single penny. Everything we make is given away,” said Sullivan.
　　Last year, the couple's daughter started a GoFundMe to help cover the costs of some materials and tools. People have donated more than $1,500 so far this holiday season.
　　This December, all the toys they made were distributed to local charities to behanded out to children from poor families. They are now getting a head start on next year's toy workload.
　　The couple are now at work on the toys seven days a week, sometimes for 10hours a day. “Making toys keeps my mind active. I can't just sit there and stare at a TV all day. The work really gives me a boost. Some days are easier than others, but they're all rewarding,” said Sullivan. “I might take a day or two off after the New Year, but that's it. As long as there's a need out there, I don't get to take many vacations.”
61. What childhood experience gave Sullivan the idea to make free toys for kids (no more than 15 words)
62. What is the meaning of the underlined phrase in Paragraph 4 (1 word)
63. What help did Sullivan's daughter provide (no more than 10 words)

65. How does Sullivan's story inspire you Please explain in your own words. (no more than 20 words)

66. One possible version:
Dear Mr Clarks,
　　I am writing to invite you to visit an exciting exhibition. The theme of the exhibition is Chinese Traditional Handicrafts. In this exhibition, you will see exquisite traditional handicrafts, such as embroidery, paper cutting, and oil-paper umbrellas. Also, some craftsmen will be there and explain the craftsmanship, history, and cultural significance of these handicrafts.
　　The exhibition will be held in our school club centre at 3:00 pm on 5 June. I guess it will be a great opportunity for foreigners like you to experience the superb skills of Chinese craftsmen. I think it's also a great opportunity for every participant to realise the importance of preserving precious traditional arts and crafts that are disappearing. If you want to know more information, please call me at 123456.
I'm looking forward to seeing you there!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
