That means that if you are accepted, you have to go.‎ Early decision is a great option if the college you’re applying to is your dream school and you are 100 percent certain you can see yourself on its campus next fall. But if you’re having any doubts about whether or not this college is the perfect place for you, think again about your ED application.‎ ‎ Applying ED definitely has benefits. One of them is that that you will know where you’re going to college before Christmas if you are accepted. While your academic performance will need to be kept up, the stress of standardized testing, meeting college deadlines, getting letters of recommendation, sending transcripts(成绩单) and so on will all be behind you.‎ ‎ On the other hand, one of the biggest difficulties is that next March and April, ED students will not be able to compare one college with another. This lack of choice means that students can’t use offers from other colleges to ask for better financial aids.‎ ‎ Susan Goodskin, owner of the California Learning Strategies Center, said that from fall to spring of the last year in high school is a long time and that students’ ideas might change.‎ ‎“Some families are so ready to be done with the college application process that they make themselves believe they’re in love with a school so they can apply ED. I advise all families to apply ED only if it is for the right reasons.”‎ ‎ Here’s a tip for thinking about early decision: Don’t say you’re applying ED and then decide ‎ where. Figure out which college is the best fit for you and then find out if they offer an ED program.‎ ‎21. What is the article mainly about?‎ A. How to get into top American universities B. How to apply for early decision admission.‎ C. The admission policies of American universities.‎ D. The advantages and disadvantages of ED programs.‎ 22. According to the article, early decision applicants __________.‎ A. get financial aid easily from the college they apply to.‎ B. can apply to several colleges under an ED program at a time C. must attend the college they apply to if they are accepted D. needn’t have great academic performance to apply to a college 23. Early decision applicants are informed of the college’s decision __________.‎ A. in early November B. around January 1 ‎ C. before Christmas D. in the following March and April 24. What does Susan Goodkin advise college applicants to do?‎ A. Not to change their idea of their preferred school.‎ B. Not to apply for an ED program because of its lack of choice.‎ C. To apply for ED programs and decide where to study as early as possible D. To apply to an ED program only when it’s offered by their dream school.‎ ‎ B. Enjoy Exercise ‎ Often when I see joggers, I see their knitted brows(紧皱的眉毛), their clenched(握紧的) hands, and their fixed eyes. I tell myself that they are working out---as opposed to exercising.‎ ‎ In my opinion, exercise shouldn’t be horrible. It should be about letting yourself go, being relaxed. It should be about pushing the body and being in the moment.‎ ‎ Most of the time though, and not just during exercise, we are not in the moment. We may be at a meeting, watching TV, or even chatting with friends, but we are really absent. Our minds are far away, worrying about tomorrow or nursing past hurts.‎ ‎ All forms of sport are about the moment. It is about being present, balancing effort with giving in. In doing so we are fully at home in our bodies; we are whole.‎ ‎ Today’s computer world requires only the mind, the eye and the hand. We do not use our bodies. As a result, we are often not “at home” in them.‎ ‎ Even people who go to the gym to work out are thinking about engineering and technological control. Gym-goers move along a line of “stations”(exercise machines) to work each different muscle group.‎ ‎ So I’m pleased that the ancient art of yoga is becoming popular. “But yoga takes up so much time! You need only 15 minutes on a treadmill(跑步机),” a colleague of mine remarked. Her remark is so telling of our age. Time is carved into blocks, and every block must be filled with some activity or another, or we are not seen as productive. Even leisure is measured in blocks of time. Empty blocks are not allowed. ‎ ‎ Yoga, however, is precisely about stopping the crazy moment. It is about doing one thing at a time and doing it well.‎ ‎ I started taking yoga classes in my 20s and really enjoyed them. As any yoga beginner will tell you, breathing normally is, strangely, the hardest thing to do.‎ ‎ I would die there in the room, watch the fans turning on the ceiling, and feel all my worries fade away. Time seemed to stand still.‎ ‎ For some reason, though, I stopped going to the yoga club. Like just about everyone else, I have been treading the mill in an endless run of activity.‎ Perhaps it’s time I got back to yoga and learned how to breathe normally again.‎ ‎25. The author probably mentions the joggers at the beginning to show that they __________.‎ A. are enjoying exercising B. are absent-minded ‎ C. should be optimistic D. should be running on the treadmill ‎26. What does the author think is one of the problems of our age?‎ A. Our time is measured by productivity, which leaves no room for peace of mind.‎ B. The fast pace of life means people have no time for leisure.‎ C. Computers occupy too much of our time and no time is left for sports.‎ D. People have stopped thinking about what makes sports valuable.‎ ‎27. In the author’s opinion, yoga_________.‎ A. helps people focus on the moment B. can work different muscle groups too C. does not push one’s body hard enough D. is time-consuming and should improve ‎28. What is the article mainly about?‎ A. Difference between jogging and yoga. B. Balance between sports and limits.‎ C. Unity of body and mind. D. Unity of joy and exercise.‎ C[‎ Here are some phones which are of great use in our daily life.‎ 1. LG Migo Verizon Wireless sells the very simple kid-friendly phone, the LG Migo. With its simple keypad and interface, great speakerphone and dedicated emergency key, it does a great job of keeping parents and kids connected. Parents can program in four phone numbers for their child to easily reach. There is no Voicemail or text messaging. It is a very cute looking child’s phone. ‎ 2. FiliP Wearable Smart Locator and Phone for Kids FiliP is both a smart locator and phone for kids aged 5--11 to wear as a watch. FiLIP was made to withstand(经受) kids play and in fun color kids like. However, it was created for safety. Through the combinations of GPS, Wi-Fi, and AT & T’s wireless network, parents can locate, call or message their children at any time. And there is one touch calling for their child to call them. Parents can feel safe that:‎ Their child won’t lose or break the phone because they are wearing it and it is almost indestructible and water resistant.‎ Their child will always easily be able to reach them.‎ They will easily be able to locate their child and text or call also. ‎ 3. Just 5‎ Just 5 phones are very simple phones made for children and seniors, people that need certain features from a mobile phone, such as large buttons and a digital display. Five numbers can be preset into the phone for emergency situations. If the SOS button is pressed, all 5 numbers will receive a text, and each will get a call in order of priority(优先) until somebody answers. However, there is no GPS or Bluetooth available. And even though these phones are made for seniors as well as children, they come in a variety of bright fun colors. ‎ 4. Kajeet Smart Phone for Kids With Kajeet, the safety comes from their wireless service plan. They offer a choice of phones to ‎ purchase on their website, some simple cellphones and some smart phones. If you already have a Sprint device, you can use that and they will activate it for free. Then the services allow parents do:‎ Set time limits on when the phone can be used.‎ Block calls from certain phone numbers.‎ If you purchased a smart phone, you can turn website access off or set levels of access.‎ Receive alerts(警报) when your kids arrive at school or elsewhere.‎ One of the best features is that with Kajeet there are no contracts. You just pay as you go. ‎ ‎29. If you are a mom whose son is very naughty and you are worried you will easily lose sight of him, the best choice for you is probably _________.‎ A. The LG Migo B. FiliP Wearable Smart Locator and Phone for Kids ‎ C. Just 5 D. Kajeet Smart Phone for Kids ‎30.If a father wants to buy a smart phone for his teenage son but limit his use of the Internet, the best choice is probably _________.‎ A. The LG Migo B. FiliP Wearable Smart Locator and Phone for Kids ‎ C. Kajeet Smart Phone for Kids D. Just 5‎ ‎31.A difference between the LG Migo and Just 5 phone is that __________.‎ A. one offers smartphone services while the other does not B. one is also designed for old people while the other is not C. one has a special SOS button while the other does not D. the LG Migo has GPS and Bluetooth while the other does not D Thieves confuse victims Many of us are used to hearing stories of people being pick-pocketed(扒窃) in busy places. But most of us are aware of the dangers, so we are safe--at least, we think we are.‎ According to a BBC report, a growing number of thieves are trying to “hack(侵入) our mind’s weaknesses ” to get their hands on our possessions.‎ ‎“In fact, the key requirement for a successful pickpocket isn’t having quick fingers,” said the report. By using psychology, some pickpockets are taking advantage of the loop-holes(漏洞) in our brains.‎ Our lack of ability to multitask is one of the most important loopholes used by pickpockets,‎ ‎ the report explains. While this can often be a good trait, allowing us to focus on the most important details in our surroundings. “a good trickster can use it against you,” said neuroscientist Suzana Martinez-Conde.‎ ‎“It’s all about directing people’s attention toward something else,” said James Brown, who studies the tricks of pickpocketing. Confidence, the power of suggestion, and certain hand movements such as moving your hands in an arc(弧形) are all said to be things that fool us.‎ Groups of pickpockets use a common trick designed to create a scene and confuse victims(受害者).‎ The first gang member, a “blocker”, walks in front of the victim and suddenly bumps into them. A second member of the gang then bumps into both of them from behind and stages an argument with the “blocker”. In the confusion, both men steal what they can and pass it to a third thief who quickly runs off with the stolen goods.‎ Some thieves go even further to exploit(利用) our psychology by hanging out new signs reading “beware of pickpockets”. Since this is one of the last places people expect to be robbed, many check where their valuables are, giving away their location to thieves.‎ But according to Brown, as long as we don’t daydream in public, we shouldn’t be worried.‎ ‎“A street thief will avoid like the plague(瘟疫) people who are demonstrating(展现) a very open awareness of their environment,” he said. ‎ ‎32.According to the BBC report, the main strategy of a successful pickpocket is ____________.‎ A. to give themselves multiple tasks to do B. to distract victims C. to focus on the most important details D. to used swift hand movements ‎33.When groups of pickpockets use their common trick, _________.‎ A. it is the third thief’s task to steal what they can from the victim B. the victim usually doesn’t dare to argue with them C. Two members bump into the victim from different directions at the same time D. the victim usually get confused and lets down his or her guard ‎34.Why do some thieves hang out near signs saying like “beware of pickpocketers”?‎ A. They have a better chance of locating people’s valuables there.‎ B. They think it is more thrilling to steal in those areas C. Normally there are no police officers around.‎ A. They don’t know common people’s psychology.‎ ‎35.According to James Brown, which of the following types of person is more likely to be pickpocketed?‎ A. People who look weak.‎ B. People who are walking slowly.‎ C. People who are absent-minded.‎ D. People who are alert to their surroundings.‎ ‎ ‎ 七选五（共5个小题，每小题2分，满分10分）：‎ ‎ 36 If you are growing tomatoes in your backyard for sale you are producing for the market. You might sell some to your neighbor and some to the local manager of the supermarket. But in either case, you are producing for the market. 37 If people stop buying tomatoes, you will stop producing them.‎ If you take care of a sick person to earn money, you are producing for the market. If your father is a steel worker or a truck driver or a doctor or a grocer, he is producing goods or service for the market. ‎ ‎ 38 You may spend money in stores, supermarkets, gas stations and restaurants. Still you are buying from the market. When the local grocer hires you to drive the delivery truck, he is buying your labor in the labor market. ‎ ‎ 39 But for each person or business that is making and selling something, it is very concrete. If nobody buys your tomatoes, it won't be long before you get the message. ___40__It is telling you that you are using energies and resources in doing something the market doesn't want you to do.‎ A. The market is a concept.‎ B. One has to make his ends meet when shopping. ‎ C. The market is telling you something.‎ D. Your efforts are being directed by the market.‎ E. The market may be something abstract.‎ F. The sellers are always smarter than buyers. ‎ G. When you spend your income, you are buying things from the market.‎ ‎ ‎ 第三部分：英语知识运用 完形填空（共20小题：每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ I decided to ski to the North Pole.
