I turned around and saw Philip, a counselor (顾问) at our admissions office (招生办公室)，standing with another young man.Philip introduced me to him，Stephen，and reminded me that Stephen would be taking one of my classes.‎ Stephen looked at me.With a somewhat painful expression，he asked if my class was going to be hard and if he would be able to pass.I introduced all the things that he would be expected to learn.As we talked，I saw Stephen’s eyes getting big with fear.‎ I told him to do all of his assignments，and to hand them in on time.Rather than being overwhelmed (压倒) by all of the work，I told him the most successful students made a master calendar of all the assignments so they could plan their workload.‎ As the fall semester went on，I learned more of Stephen’s story.It had taken him longer to finish the assignments than most young people.Family members，including his mother，kept reminding him that he was a failure.But he kept at it and didn’t take them to heart.He told me that before coming to our college，no one believed he could manage it.‎ Stephen didn’t become an A student.Still，he managed to pass most of his courses by being in class every day，turning in all of his assignments on time and breaking down his studying into bite－sized parts.By passing course after course he began to gain a measure of self－esteem.‎ On his graduation day，he walked up to me，and said，“Thank you.”‎ ‎24．According to Stephen’s questions to the author，we know that Stephen _______.‎ A.wasn’t very confident about himself ‎ B．didn’t want to attend the author’s class C．had never been an A student D．couldn’t pass the author’s exam ‎25．According to the passage，the author ________.‎ A．wouldn’t have met Stephen without the introduction of Philip B．told Stephen how to deal with his studies C. helped Stephen get an A in his class D．didn’t believe that Stephen could study in college ‎26．What does the passage mainly tell us about Stephen?_______‎ A．He was an average student but hard_working.‎ B．He was an excellent student，but didn’t have self_esteem.‎ C．He was a little stupid and didn’t do well in school.‎ D．He was far from a top student because of his failure.‎ ‎27．What lesson can we learn from the passage?_____‎ A．A good beginning is half done.

B.How to make cars smaller and safer.‎ C．How to solve the problem of traffic jam.‎ D．How to develop an automated subway system.‎ ‎29．We can infer from this passage that ________.‎ A．the car connected to the rail on the highway will be powered by electricity B．the lack of oil is forcing people to find new means to power automobiles C．the driver under the system will be told where to get out of the highway D．the future car will become larger，faster， prettier and less expensive ‎30．What provides cars with electric power in an automated highway system?‎ A．An engine. B．A rail. C．A computer controller. D．A small arm.‎ ‎31．Which of the following statements is TURE according to the passage?‎ A．The driver puts his information in the system by e－mail.‎ B．The new system can deal with 10 times as many cars as the present one.‎ C．After entering the automated system，the driver needs to do nothing but relax himself.‎ D．Some experts are not confident of the future，while the author is in favour of the opposite evolution.‎ D We may think we're a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices(装置) well after they go out of style. That’s bad news for the environment — and our wallets — as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the ‎ newer ones that do the same things.‎ To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life — from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device. This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s. Devices were grouped by generation — Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box-set TVs defined 1992. Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997. And MP3 players, smart phones, and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002, before tablets and e-readers showed up in 2007.‎ As we accumulated more devices, however, we didn't throw out our old ones. "The living-room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids' room, and suddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house," said one researcher. The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to ‎13 in 2007. We're not just keeping these old devices — we continue to use them. According to the analysis of Babbitt's team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions（排放）more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window.‎ So what's the solution（解决方案）? The team's data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing. They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.‎ ‎32. What does the author think of new devices?‎ A. They are environment-friendly. B. They are no better than the old.‎ C. They cost more to use at home. D. They go out of style quickly.‎ ‎33. Why did Babbitt's team conduct the research?‎ A. To reduce the cost of minerals.‎ B. To test the life cycle of a product.‎ C. To update consumers on new technology.‎ D. To find out electricity consumption of the devices.‎ ‎34. Which of the following uses the least energy?‎ A. The box-set TV. B. The tablet. ‎ C. The LCD TV. D.The desktop computer.‎ ‎35. What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices?‎ A. Stop using them. B. Take them apart.‎ C. Upgrade them. D. Recycle them.‎ 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。‎ Color is fundamental in home design——something you’ll always have in every room. A grasp of how to manage color in your spaces is one of the first steps to creating rooms you’ll love to live in. Do you want a room that’s full of life? Professional? Or are you just looking for a place to relax after a long day? 36 , color is the key to making a room feel the way you want it to feel.‎ Over the years, there have been a number of different techniques to help designers approach this important point. 37 , they can get a little complex .But good news is that there’re really only three kinds of decisions you need to make about color in your home: the small ones, the medium ones, and the large ones.‎ ‎ 38 . They’re the little spots of color like throw pillows ,mirrors and baskets that most of us use to add visual interest to our rooms .Less tiring than painting your walls and less expensive than buying a colorful sofa ,small color choices bring with them the significant benefit of being easily changeable .‎ Medium color choices are generally furniture pieces such as sofas, dinner tables or bookshelves 39 . They require a bigger commitment than smaller ones, and they have a more powerful effect on the feeling of a space.‎ The large color decisions in your rooms concern the walls, ceilings, and floors. Whether you’re looking at wallpaper or paint, the time, effort and relative expense put into it are significant. 40 .‎ A. While all of them are useful ‎ B. Whatever you’re looking for ‎ C. If you’re experimenting with a color ‎ D. Small color choices are the ones we’re most familiar with ‎ E. It’s not really a good idea to use too many small color pieces ‎ F. So it pays to be sure, because you want to get it right the first time ‎ G. Color choices in this range are a step up from the small ones in two major ways ‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 （共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ During my second year at the city college，I was told that the education department was offering a "free"course, called Thinking Chess, for three credits.I 41 the idea of taking the class because ，after all ,who doesn't want to ‎42 a few dollars?More than that, I'd always wanted to learn chess.
