No matter how 36 you claim to be, it is a good thing to have a roommate during your first year in the college. Living with someone helps 37 your loneliness. Sure it may seem 38 to be able to play your music and turn up your TV as loud as you want when you live alone, but coming home to an empty room every day can be depressing.

Looking at the records, people might think Venezuelan women are. They win the Miss Latin America, Miss Universe, and Miss World contests more frequently than women from any other country. In Venezuela, the term “Miss” as in “Miss Universe” is an honored title. These days, people in some cultures consider beauty contests to be silly. They have tried to stop these contests, saying the contests treat women as objects and place too much importance on women’s looks. But in Latin America, beauty contests are a source of pride. Are Venezuelan women really more beautiful than other women? “They are not really more beautiful here,” says Selena, who trains girls for the contest. “It’s just that the girls here work harder and prepare more than anyone else.” The preparation takes many hours a day. The contestants stretch their bodies and practice their walks down the runway. They work on their speeches and practice answering questions such as, “Whom do you admire most in the world?” They starve to stay slim. They take classes to learn how to style their hair and apply make-up. It isn’t easy. One Miss Universe winner immediately put on 20 pounds after the contest. She said the only thing she wanted to do after the contest was to eat. The cost is high as well. Fortunately the television station that holds the contest pays the costs. Yet most of the contestants say it’s worth the effort. A former Miss Universe is now mayor of a district in a large city. Although she had no political experience before that, she has been asked to run for higher political office. Another winner has her own television show. Winners have an advantage they could not get anywhere else. “It’s the only chance you have to make it,” says one contestant. “You can’t get these opportunities any other way.” 56.The passage is mainly about ________. A. beauty contests around the world B. different opinions on beauty contests C. why Venezuelan women are more successful in beauty contests D. the training of beauty contestants 57.According to Selena, the reason why Venezuelan women win more beauty contests is that ________. A. they are more beautiful B. they are better educated C. they are better prepared D. they get more support 58.When the Venezuelan contestants say “it’s worth the effort”, they really mean___. A. they gain more fame from beauty contests B. the money spent on beauty contests is worthwhile C. they gain an advantage over anyone else in politics D. beauty contests lead to a better career [B]In America, drivers' education is part of the regular high school curriculum. Every student in his or her second year of high school is required to take a class in driver's education. However, unlike other courses, it is not given during the regular school year. Instead it is a summer course. The course is divided up into two parts: class time for learning laws and regulations and driving time to practise driving. Class time is not unlike any other class. The students have a text from which they study the basic laws they must know to pass the written driving test that is given to anyone wanting to get a driver's license. Driving time is a chance for the students to get behind the wheel(steering wheel) and practise starting steering, backing up, parking, switching lanes, turning corners, and all the other maneuvers(操作)required to drive a car. Each student is required to drive a total of six hours. The students are divided up into groups of four. The students and the instructor go out driving for two-hour blocks of time. Thus, each student gets half an hour driving time per outing. The instructor and "driver" sit in the front seats and the other three students sit in the back. Drivers Ed cars are unlike other cars in which they have two sets of brakes, one on the driver' s side and one on the other side where the instructor sits. Thus, if the student driver should run into difficulties the instructor can take over. The car also has another special feature. On the top of the car is a sign that reads; STUDENT DRIVER. That lets nearby drivers know that they should use extra caution(小心)because the student driver is a beginning driver, not very experienced and prone to driving slowly. After the student has passed the driver's education course and reached the appropriate age to drive(this age differs in every state but in most cases the person must be 16 years old) , they can go to a designated state office to take their driver's test, which is made up of an eye examination, a written test, and a road test. The person must pass all three tests in order to be given a driver's license. If the person did well in his or her driver's education class, he or she will pass the test with flying colors and get a driver's license.59. In America, the driver's course mentioned above ________. A. is considered as part of the advanced education B. is given to anyone wanting to get a driver's license C. is carried on at the same time as other courses D. is offered to all the students of Grade 2 in high schools60. To prevent accidents, a drivers Ed car_. A. has a sign inside it????????????????????????B. has two sets of brakes C. is big enough to hold five persons??????????D. can' t run very fast61. We can infer that the students are required to ________in their whole driving practice. A.go out driving for twelve times. B spend at least six hours driving C.drive for two-hour blocks of time D.get half an hour driving62. Which of the following does not agree with the requirements for the students wanting to get their driver's license? A. They must be 16 years of age.????????B. They should go to have their driver' s test. C. They must have their eyes examined.?? D. They ought to do well in their driver's course. 63. In the last sentence," with flying colors" means ________. A. happily???????????? B. successfully???????? C. colorfully?????????? D. quickly [C]Culture shock has many stages. Each stage can appear only at certain times. Culture begins with the"honey moon" stage.This is the period of time when we first arrive in which everything about the new culture is strange and exciting .This honeymoon stage can last for quite a long time.Afterwards, the second stage presents itself. A person may encounter some difficult times and crises in daily life. This period of culture adjustment can be very difficult and lead to the new arrival rejecting the new culture.This “rejection stage “can be quite dangerous because the visitor may develop unhealthy habits,such as smoking ,drinking too much. The third stage is characterized by gaining some understanding of the new culture. A new feeling of pleasure and sense of humor may be experienced. And you are becoming stronger by learning to take care of yourself in the new place.Things are still difficult,but you are now a survivor!This is called the “adjustment stage”. The fourth stage can be called “at ease at last”.Now you feel quite comfortable in your new environment.You can deal with most problems.You may still have problems with the language,but you know you are strong enough to deal with them.If you meet someone from your country who has just arrived,you can be the expert on life in the new culture and help them to deal with their culture shock. The fifth stage is the stage that is called "re-entry shock". This occurs when a return to the country of origin is made. One may find that things are no longer the same. For example, some of the newly acquired customs are not in use in the old culture.?64.Which could be the best title of the passage? A.How to Fight Cultural Shock B.Stages of Cultural Shock C. Origin of Cultural Shock D.How to Adjust to new Culture65 When does culture shock happen?. A.When you have grown up B.When you work in a new company C.When you meet foreign people for the first time D.When you go to live in a new or foreign culture66.In which stage may people miss their friends and relatives and feel homesick most?

A.The place is not the same as before B.The old customs have changed over the years C.They are not used to the local customs D.They are no longer what they used to be.[D]To all of you at Chinese love links, I am 44 years old and never married.I have always wanted to find that perfect someone that I dream about.For about the last five years I have almost given up the hope of ever finding the one I truly wish to spend the rest of my life with.I have always tried to be a nice guy.I had found your website some four or five months before.I did not know what to expect.I don’t know how to speak Chinese and never thought truly of how I was to an Asian woman.Well, I had a lot of replies from some very nice and pretty women.I had a hard time finding only a couple to write to.But one stood out from the rest.She was cute, nice and seemed to hold a lot of the same values as I do.In a short time I had decided to write only to her.We communicated via emails 2-3 times a day and phone calls once or twice a week.I went and met her and her family only a week ago.Her name is Ying and she lives in Nanning.I found Nanning to be one of the most beautiful cities I had ever been to.We had even decided to marry and to bring her to the USA under the fiancée visa.Not only did she meet everything I had ever hoped to find in someone else but turned out to be what every woman should be like, at least the ones I have met.We plan to marry as soon as she is here and start a family together as neither of us has children but we both want them.So to anyone out there reading this, I can only say this: You may not find what you are looking for if you’re not honest with your partner and yourself.This site worked for me mostly because I was honest with something that I wanted in someone else.When I did find her, love can work even across the other side of the world, between language differences and cultural differences.I wish you all luck in finding your perfect match.I have finally found mine and wish to give all my thanks to those at Chinese love links to help make it happen.Sincerely yours,Arthur 68.We can infer from the letter that Chinese love links is a website to .

A.being honest with the partner and oneself B.help from the website C.difference in languages and places D.difference in cultures [E] Many of us believe that a person’s mind becomes less active as he grows older. But this is not true, according to Dr Jarvik, professor of psychiatry at the University of California. She has studied the mental functioning of aging persons for several years. For example, one of her studies concerns 136 pairs of identical twins(双胞胎), who were first examined when they were already 60 years old.As Dr Jarvik continued the study of the twins into their 70s and 80s, their minds did not generally decline(衰弱) as was expected. However, there was some decline in their psycho-motor speed. This means that it took them longer to finish mental tasks than it used to. But when speed was not a factor, they lost very little intellectual ability over the years. In general, Dr Jarvik’s studies have shown that there is no decline in knowledge or reasoning ability. This is true not only with those in their 30s and 40s, but with those in their 60s and 70s as well. It is true that older people themselves often complain that their memory is not as good as it once was. However, much of what we call “ loss of memory” is not that at all. There usually was incomplete learning in the first place. For example, the older person perhaps had trouble hearing, or poor vision, or inattention, or was trying to learn the new thing at too fast a speed. In the cases where the older person’s mind really seems to get worse, it is not necessarily a sign of decline due to old age. Often it is simply a sign of a sad emotional state. 72.This passage is mainly about __________. A. how Dr Jarvik studied mental functioning of the twins B. what caused mental decline C. the results evidenced (proved) by Dr Jarvik’s studies D. the difference between middle-aged and older persons 73.The word “psychiatry” in paragraph 1 most probably means ___________. A. the study of human behavior B. the study of disease of the mind C. the study of problems caused by aging persons D. the study of twin’s growth 74.A long-term study of 136 pairs of twins showed that _____________. A. they lost a little ability to reason over the years B. the only factor which declined over the years was their speed with which to perform mental tasks C. their memory was not as good as it had once been D. their minds became a bit more active as they grew older 75.What we call mental decline is usually a sign of _____________. A. a low-spirited state ? B. a worsening state of health C. old age D. nervous tension第Ⅱ卷(共35分)第四部分:写作(共两节,满分35分)第一节:单词拼写(共10小题,每小题1分;满分10分)A: Miss Dermott, let me ask you straight away.

Some students prefer to consider majors first so that they can learn what they are interested in. It will also make it possible for them to take their favorite jobs in the future. However, those who think differently believe that the environment is important to one’s development and that graduates from leading universities are often more likely to find a good job. In my opinion, the best choice is a good major at a good university. If we cannot obtain both, the first thing to consider is a good major, because no matter where we study, we can still achieve a lot in a certain field if we try our best.? 展开更多...... 收起↑ 资源预览
