For my first year at Oxford, I barely said anything in tutorials(辅导课)．
We'd have 2—3 tutorials a week, each ranging from 1 to 3 hours. Some would feel informal with comfortable chairs and teas, sitting and chatting with a few friends. Others would feel more like we were being grilled for facts. In both types, I was pretty quiet. I was shy, introverted, and worried that everyone would think I was stupid. The fact is that everyone in Oxford, Harvard, Yale, etc, has felt insecure about their intelligence at some point. I didn't volunteer in discussions and, as a result, I didn't understand much. My understandings of different texts never matured or became complex. They stayed the same. And they were often wrong.
Then, somewhere in the middle of my second year, I got over myself, stopped being worried, and offered more of my own opinions. I responded to others, asked thoughtful questions, and interacted more. I always asked if I didn't understand something. Most of the time, others also didn't understand the thing I was confused about and felt happy I asked.
I went from being a passive learner and having everything go over my head to being an active learner and having tons more information understood. In tutorials, I took notes. After tutorials, I reviewed those notes. I rewrote them. I explained new concepts to my friends in other subject areas. And I felt smarter. I went from struggling and failing to thriving and suddenly getting firsts on my essays.
Being an active student also means asking for help. So I recommend you to visit your tutor during office hours and ask for their help or ask your peers to help explain stuff to you, or get a mentor(导师) if you can. I had a PhD student mentor me once a week over coffee in my final year. It was the best thing that happened to my studies.
4．Which word best describes the author's academic attitude as a freshman
A．Cooperative. B．Inactive.
C．Serious. D．Positive.
5．What can we infer about the author from Paragraph 4
A．He became smarter than others. B．He attached no importance to notes.
C．He had everything go over his head later. D．His changed attitudes led to academic improvement.
6．What does the author advise us to do
A．To visit tutors at any time. B．To get a mentor in the first year.
C．To ask our peers for help if necessary. D．To learn everything from smart people.
7．Which can be a suitable title for the text
A．How Did I Ask for Help B．How Did I Get over Myself
C．How Did I Become an Active Learner D．How Did I Become a Smart Student

People do physical exercise as part of their healthy lifestyle to get stronger and healthier.
There are three basic modes of physical exercise: flexibility exercise helps the human body in general or its part in particular to be able to reach farther and bend better; aerobic exercise helps the body work hard for a long time; anaerobic exercise makes the arms and legs stronger.
It has long been known that exercise is not only good for your body, but also for your mind. According to researchers, gymnasts are more likely to be emotionally stable, football players the most outgoing and swimmers the happiest.
The psychological study, which was carried out by experts, also revealed that sports can also offer clues to a person's attitude to charity, reading habits and even their voting intentions. Boxers, for example, are most likely to focus on material possessions in life. Meanwhile, runners tend to be outgoing people who love being the centre of attention. Walkers, a group that includes those who enjoy wandering and cross－country races, are least concerned about other people and like doing things by themselves without interruption from others. Those who play chess are confident when they face challenges and trouble. Those who swim tend to be tidy and charitable. However, according to Mind Lab, 61 percent of adults are fond of helping others regardless of their choice of sports.
The results from this study also show that no matter what kind of person you are, there is the right kind of exercise for you.
8．Which of the following sports belongs to flexibility exercise
A．Running. B．Swimming. C．Football. D．Gymnastics.
9．What can we learn from the text
A．Walkers enjoy loneliness in their lives. B．Boxers tend to ignore wealth in life.
C．Runners have great power of concentration. D．Chess players like challenging other people.
10．Why does the author mention Mind Lab in Paragraph 4
A.To make a contrast. B.To draw a conclusion. C.To place an emphasis. D.To give an example.
11．What is the best title for the text
A．How can you choose suitable sports B．What kind of sports can benefit you most
C．How can sports keep you mentally healthy D．What does your choice of sports tell about you
D
“Everything happens for the best，”my mother said whenever I faced disappointment.“If you carry on, one day something good will happen. And you'll realize that it wouldn't have happened if not for that previous disappointment.”
Mother was right, as I discovered after graduating from college in 1932. I had decided to try for a job in radio, and then work my way up to a sports announcer. I hitchhiked (搭便车) to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station and got turned down every time. In one studio, a kind lady told me that in most cases big stations couldn't risk hiring an inexperienced person.“Go out in the remote areas and find a small station. They'll give you a chance.”she said. I went back home to Dixon, Illinois.
While there were no radio－announcing jobs in Dixon, my father said Montgomery Ward had opened a store and wanted a local athlete to manage its sports department. Since Dixon was where I had played high school football, I applied. The job sounded just right for me.
But I wasn't hired. My disappointment must have shown. “Everything happens for the best.” Mom reminded me. Dad offered me the car to hunt for jobs. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport, Iowa. The program director, a wonderful Scotsman named Peter MacArthur, told me they had already hired an announcer.
As I left his office, my frustration boiled over. I asked aloud，“How can a fellow get to be a sport announcer if he can't get a job in a radio station？” I was waiting for the elevator when I heard MacArthur calling, “What was that you said about sports Do you know anything about football？” Then he stood me before a microphone and asked me to broadcast an imaginary game. The preceding autumn, my team had won a game in the last 20 seconds with a 65－yard run. I made a 15－minute broadcast to that play, and Peter told me I would be broadcasting Saturday's game!
On my way home, as I have many times since, I thought of my mother's words：“If you carry on, one day something good will happen. Something wouldn't have happened if not for that previous disappointment.”
12．Why didn't the author get hired in Chicago
A．He showed no confidence at the stations. B．There were no jobs available at the stations.
C．He had no experience in radio broadcasting. D．There were too many people competing with him.
13．What can we learn from the passage
A．The frustration of the author prevented him from performing well at WOC Radio.
B．Both of the author's parents showed support when he was trying to search for a job.
C．Peter MacArthur recognized the author's talent in broadcasting after reading his resume.
D．The author lost all his hope and courage when he was turned down by Montgomery Ward.
14．What was most likely the author's attitude towards Peter MacArthur
A．He was worried that Peter wouldn't believe in his ability.
B．He was afraid that his loud inner claim would annoy Peter.
C．He was angry that Peter didn't offer him a satisfying potential.
D．He was grateful that Peter could notice his broadcasting potential.
15．What lesson can we learn from the author's experience in the passage
A．Well begun is half done. B．Prevention is better than cure.
C．Sunshine comes after the storm. D．Rome was not built in a day.
第二节（共 5 小题：每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分）
第二节阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
Apologizing for a mistake might seem difficult, but it will help you repair and improve your relationships with others after that offense.
Acknowledge the offense. This is an essential element of a good apology. __16__ Apologies are most likely to be well－received if you show that you recognize who was responsible and who was harmed. For example, saying “I made a mistake” is more effective than saying “mistakes were made”，which fails to clarify responsibility.
__17__ In some cases, it's helpful to explain an offense, especially to explain that it was not intentional and that it will not happen again. But explanations that are long－winded, sound like excuses, or blame the victim (e.g. You were really getting on my nerves.) tend to have an opposite effect.
Express regret. __18__ Expressing these feelings communicates that you recognize and regret the suffering you caused. Be careful of phrases like “That was uncharacteristic of me.” __19_ Instead, acknowledge your disappointment in yourself and make your commitment to improve.
Tell them how you'll change. Let them know how you'll change and what you'd do to make that possible. For instance, if you've been late once again, instead of just apologizing, share how you'd keep an early alarm to be on time! __20__
A．Provide a proper explanation.
B．Express your intention clearly.
C．But many apologies don't do this enough.
D．When you hurt someone, it's natural to feel shame or regret.
E．A true apology is one where you promise it won't be repeated again.
F．This might show that you aren't taking full ownership for what happened.
G．This will enable you to know what means the most to the offended person.

At age 65, De Kooning__6__ his first sculptural works, 13 small clay items. It was the __7__ of a new artistic era for him and, over the next 15 years, sculpture became a(n) __8__ and inseparable part of his career.
Later, after I left the exhibition, I was __9__ by how beautiful it was that De Kooning began making sculpture because of the initial __10__ and encouragement of his __11__. It got me thinking about the often unacknowledged role that some friendships play in the creative process of __12__ across all types.
We often think about those friendships that journey deeply with us in our private lives, __13__ us through emotional ups and downs. But friendships that develop our professional selves are also __14__．In offering courage, insight and clarity on the work that we produce, these friendships __15__ the overall quality of our lives.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
There is a farm not far from the coastline. It belongs to a man called Tom. Tom couldn't do everything by himself on the farm. Thus, he needed to hire one man to help him run the farm. However, no one worked on his farm for long. Why Because the work was too tiring. Since the farm is near the sea, there are often storms from the sea that strike his farm. When a storm comes, Tom and the man he hired have to get up quickly and try to reduce the losses caused by the storm. Therefore, no one liked working there. Tom had to look for people to work for him all the time.
One day, a man called Henry read the poster that Tom had put up and then came to his farm.
“Sir, I can work for you，” said Henry.
Tom looked at Henry. This young man was neither strong nor tall.
“Are you sure？” asked Tom.
“Yes, sir. I can do the work well. But you must pay me twice what you paid others before，” said that young man.
Tom was surprised. He didn't really believe such a man could do the work well. But it was really hard for him to find someone else to work for him. At last, he decided to give Henry a try. However, before hiring him, he said, “Can you really be a good helper The work on the farm is hard and tiring. And there are often storms.”
Henry smiled and said, “Don't worry. I can be a good helper. You'll see. And storms won't be a problem. They won't even disturb our sleep. We can sleep very well even on stormy nights.”
And then Henry stayed on the farm. To Tom's joy, Henry worked hard and did his work well. It was obvious that he hadn't lied.
However, one night, there was a big storm. Tom was woken up by the strong wind. He was worried that the storm would cause great losses for his farm. And he saw his helper nowhere.
