Before you commit years of your life and money to a school, be sure you’re choosing a place that is a good match for your personality and interests. You can’t get the “feel” of a school from any guidebook, so be sure to visit the campus. Below are a few tips for getting the most out of your college visit.‎ Explore on Your Own Of course you should take the official campus tour, but be sure to allow time to hang around on your own. The trained tour guides will show you a school’s selling points. But the oldest and prettiest buildings don’t give you the entire picture of a college. Try to walk the extra mile and get the complete picture of the campus.‎ Read the Bulletin Boards When you visit the student center, academic buildings and residence halls, take a few minutes to read the bulletin boards. They provide an easy way to see what’s happening on campus. The ads for lectures, clubs and plays can tell you what’s going on outside the classrooms.‎ Eat in the Dining Hall You can get a good feel for student life by eating in the dining hall. Try to sit with students if you can. Do the students seem happy or stressed? Also, is the food good? Are there adequate healthy options? Many admission offices will give prospective ‎ students coupons (优惠券) for free meals in the dining halls.‎ Visit a Class in Your Major If you know what you want to study, a class visit makes a lot of sense. You’ll get to observe other students in your field and see how involved they are in classroom discussion. Try to stay after class for a few minutes and chat with the students to get their impressions of their professors and major. Be sure to call in advance to schedule a classroom visit — most colleges don’t allow visitors to drop in at class unannounced.‎ Talk to Lots of Students Your campus tour guide has been trained to market the school. Try to talk to students who aren’t getting paid to impress you. These important conversations can often provide you with information about college life that isn’t part of the admission script. Few university officials will tell you if their students spend all weekend drinking or studying, but a group of random students might.‎ For more tips, please go to collegeapps.about.com.‎ ‎21. The best way to know about a college in an official campus tour is ________.‎ ‎ A. to walk around the campus alone B. to take pictures of the campus ‎ C. to visit the oldest and prettiest buildings D. to hire a trained tour guide ‎22. Reading the bulletin boards can help you ________.‎ ‎ A. decide the major you want to study ‎ ‎ B. find out the after-class activities on campus ‎ C. get free coupons from the admission offices ‎ ‎ D. find out the options of healthy food ‎23. If you plan to attend a class on campus, ________.‎ ‎ A. drop in at a class in your major B. have talks with students before class ‎ C. make an appointment in advance D. ask the professor for permission ‎24. To get a real idea of the college during a visit, it’s best to talk to ________.‎ ‎ A. famous professors B. campus tour guides ‎ C. admission officers D. random students ‎ ‎25. Where does the passage probably come from?‎ ‎ A. A news report. B. A tourist poster.‎ ‎ C. An educational journal. D. A geographical magazine.‎ B I arrived in this beautiful Spanish island at the start of September, full of enthusiasm and eager to start work as an English teacher. I sorted all the necessary paperwork out and moved into a flat of my own within the first couple of days. Great! Or so I thought. As 4 am and at several intervals after that, I was rudely awoken by the cock that lives opposite me. Fantastic! I now have 5 extra alarms every morning.‎ In the following weeks, I also started to notice a trend. Things in my flat started to break at the rate of one object per day, like the hot water, bowls, cups, shower, doors or glass shelves. Yes, I am clumsy but things just fell apart. If it wasn’t broken, it would either be dirty or missing. Using my washing basket for the first time was pretty disgusting. When I took out my clothes, they were swiftly followed by a hundred or so bugs that were living in the bottom.‎ As for the general lack of equipment in the house, there was no oven, tin opener, sharp knives or potato peeler. It turns out making a burger from scratch wasn’t the best idea. I have a small microwave and a gril（钻）. I thought the general understanding was never to put metal in a microwave but I went with it. Smoke soon started to appear. I was not quite sure if it was the burger or the grill but as soon as I opened the door, the electricity cut out. I spent the following 10 minutes in a dark, smoky room hunting for the power switch using the light from my mobile phone, which broke the week after and left me without a connection to the outer world.‎ Luckily, I’m now borrowing a phone and my luck has returned. No more things have broken (probably because there is nothing left to break). I’ve also realized that even if a flat looks pretty, it doesn’t mean its contents work. I am also learning how to adapt to life with limited, broken utensils（厨房用具）.‎ 26. How did the author feel right after her reaching the island?‎ A. Excited. B. Nervous. C. Confident. D. Exhausted.‎ ‎27. What problem did the author have in the morning?‎ A. She often slept late. B. Her alarm failed to work.‎ C. She got some noisy neighbors. D. Her sleep was disturbed by a rooster.‎ ‎28. What can we know about the author from Paragraph 2?‎ A. She was a very careful woman. ‎ B. She was quite satisfied with her flat.‎ C. Her flat was pretty old but comfortable.‎ D. Her household articles（物品）were in poor condition.‎ ‎29. What happened when the author was making a burger?‎ A. She was seriously injured. ‎ B. She made a terrible mistake.‎ C. She broke her phone accidentally. ‎ D. She suffered a sudden power failure.‎ ‎30. What is the text mainly about?‎ A. Remaining optimistic. B. How to choose a nice flat.‎ C. Learning to live in a new flat. D. Why living abroad is not easy.‎ C Working out can help teenagers boost their grades, a new study suggests. Adolescents who routinely engaged in moderate to vigorous（剧烈的）exercise showed long-term improvements in their academic performance, the British Journal of Sports Medicine study reported.‎ ‎“Our study suggests that the effect of physical activity may be quite large,” John Reilly, a professor at the University‎ of ‎Strathclyde said. The researchers looked at a sample of about 5000 children who were involved in a long-term study that tracks children born in the U.K. between 1991 and 1992. When children reached 11 years old, their daily physical activity levels were measured using an ‎ accelerometer（加速器）for three to seven days. The device, similar to a pedometer（计步器）tracking the number of steps taken, recorded the average time children exercised, which was 29 minutes a day for boys and 18 for girls.‎ ‎ “The actual levels of daily physical activity at age 11 were quite low,” Mr. Reilly noted. The children had their academic performance tested at ages 11 and 13 with compulsory national tests for students, and also at 15 or 16 with the General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) exam. The tests assessed the children’s abilities in English, math and science subjects. The results showed that the more children participated in moderate to vigorous physical activity, the higher their test scores were at age ‎11 in all three subjects. For girls, science scores were most strongly linked to exercise.‎ When children were tested again at age 13, their academic scores were still linked to how much they had exercised when they were 11 years old. By the time the youngsters took the GCSE exam, each 17-minute-perday increase in physical activity for the boys was linked to an improvement in their scores. Every additional 12-minute increase a day in exercise for the girls was also linked to an increased score, especially in the science category.‎ The researchers have called for more studies to look at the possible academic benefits that could be derived if students exercised the recommended 60 minutes or more a day.‎ ‎31. What’s the study about?‎ A. The influence of exercise on students’ scores.‎ ‎ B. The secrets of students’ ranking high in class. ‎ ‎ C. The causes of students’ participating in sports.‎ D. The ways of improving students’ physical conditions.‎ ‎32. What is the function of the device used in the study?‎ ‎ A. To record how long students exercise.‎ B. To record the walking speed of students.‎ C. To record how many steps students walk.‎ ‎ D. To record the number of calories students consume.‎ ‎33. What do the study’s results show?‎ ‎ A. Students at age 11 do more exercise than at other ages.‎ ‎ B. Boys at age 13 get more benefits by doing more exercise.‎ C. Girls’ science scores are more closely related to exercise.‎ D. More and more students do exercise to improve their scores.‎ ‎34. What does the underlined word “derived” probably mean in the last paragraph?‎ ‎ A. Maintained. B. Obtained. C. Concluded. D. Reduced.‎ ‎35. Where does the text most probably appear?‎ A. In a storybook. B. In a fashion magazine.‎ C. In an exercise guide. D. In a research report.‎ 第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）      ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 将正确答案答在机读卡上。‎ How to Deal with Being Taken for Granted From an early stage in your life, you are taught to respect others, and do kind things for them. However, in some cases, people begin to take advantage of your kind nature, expecting more from you. 36 If you feel as if there are people in your life who take you for granted, it’s time to protect yourself.‎ Know that you have the right to feel respected. Social and cultural pressures may encourage you to believe that it’s rude to say “no” to others when they ask you for things. You may also have been taught to feel that your work is less valuable than others’ and does not deserve acknowledgment. 37 But everyone has the right to be respected and appreciated, and it isn’t wrong to want to be treated that way.‎ Identify what has changed in the relationship. If you feel taken for granted, it may be because you once felt valued by the person who is now taking you for granted. It might also be due to the knowledge that you should be appreciated but actually you are not. 38 It can also help you find a solution for the relationship.‎ ‎ 39 You know that you don’t want to feel taken for granted. But what do you want? It will be hard to see any change in your situation if you feel vague ‎ dissatisfaction but have no clear ideas on what would improve it. 40 Once you know the change about the relationship clearly, you’ll be able to take better action to get you there.‎ ‎ A. Think about what you want.‎ ‎ B. Practice what you want to say.‎ ‎ C. These things can lead to you feeling taken for granted.‎ ‎ D. Try making a list of things that you would like to see the change about the relationship.‎ ‎ E. If you feel taken for granted by others, you need to communicate that to the other person.‎ ‎ F. Such people may repeatedly ask you for favors without returning any favors or showing you any respect.‎ ‎ G. Whatever the cause is, identifying what has changed your communications with the other person can help you feel better.‎ 第三部分：英语知识运用(共两节，满分20分)‎ 第一节：完形填空(共15小题，每小题1分，共15分)‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（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。‎ It was a summer evening almost 30 years ago. I was rocking my baby boy in my arms and when he fell asleep I put him 41 down into his crib for the night.

I’m so happy that the “Foreign Cultures” section in our newspaper will recommend Chinese traditional culture.‎ There is no doubt that Confucius is the most representative symbol of Chinese culture. As a philosopher，Confucius not only represents the traditional Chinese culture，but has been influencing us Chinese people since ancient times. Nowadays we can find lots of Confucius institutes around the world，which provides precious opportunities for the foreigners to learn about Chinese culture.‎ Of course，culture is a decisive factor for social development. As a country with a long history，China is rich in civilization and culture. To promote Chinese culture，we are supposed to provide various cultural exchange activities. What’s more，establishing Confucius institutes all over the world is also a good idea. Meanwhile，attracting more foreign visitors to China to experience Chinese culture will have a far-reaching impact.‎ I’ll be glad if I could help you.‎ Best wishes.‎ ‎ Yours，‎ Li Hua
