I opened the packet. My eyes were fixed on the word “congratulations”, I don’t remember ever smiling so wide. But then I found that the cost of Dream School’s tuition was around $ 40,000 — an impossible amount! How could I afford to attend? What good reasons did I have to go there when three other fine colleges were offering me free tuition? My other choices were also solid schools even if they weren’t as famous as my first choice. ‎ In my mind, attending my dream university would be the only way to realize my dream of becoming a world-class writer. My parents understood how I felt. They told me that even though it would be a financial(财务的) problem, I could go wherever I would be the happiest. But as I was always careful with money, I wasn’t sure what to do. ‎ One of the schools that offered me free tuition had an informational dinner, one night in the spring. Considering my parents’ financial difficulties, I decided to drive the 45 minutes and attend. At first, all I had planned to do was to smile politely, eat free food and listen carefully. But I surprised myself. ‎ At dinner the president of the university talked about the wonderful activities including guest lectures and social meetings. He also made it perfectly clear that free food would be offered at all future events. He continued with explanations of professors, class sizes, activities, and sporting events on campus. As he spoke, I began to realize that this school, though not as good as my first choice, might be the best one for me. It seemed small yet with many great programs. It seemed to care about the students a lot. As the president ended his speech, I realized that I would be spending the next four years right there. ‎ To be frank, my university is not as well-known as my “dream” university. However, it turned out to be the right choice of schools for me.‎ ‎71. In the 6th line, the underlined word solid means “________”. ‎ ‎ A) strong and hard B) good but not special ‎ C) common and cheap D) expensive but friendly ‎72.

We can learn from the passage that ________.‎ ‎ A) the way to success is choosing the best university ‎ ‎ B) only students from rich families go to better universities ‎ ‎ C) it’s wise to choose the right rather than the best ‎ D) a good speech can make a difference in one’s life B. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage (选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文): (12分)‎ Where in the world can you take an hour’s train ride, and pass a forest, a London street, a scene from the Wild West, and a burning building that never burns down? There’s only one place, and that’s Hollywood, in California. The scenes you see from the tourist train are film sets in the Universal Studios, one of the oldest and largest movie companies in the USA.‎ A visit to Universal Studios brings 75 memories of great days of Hollywood, the films and the stars.

But older people 77 stay home to watch series, like Dynasty have become as important to Hollywood as expensive movies. These “soap opera(肥皂剧)”, as they are called, show rich, 78 families living in beautiful homes and wearing beautiful clothes. But the actors and actress are nearly all middle-aged, like many of the people who watch them.‎ Though it is soap operas that are keeping the film-makers of Hollywood in Business, big films are still being made in America. But more and more of them are made outside Hollywood. New York is the most important new center, but there are many others 79 . Movie-makers have realized that they don’t need Hollywood any more. Modern cameras and real houses expensively made 80 in a studio instead.

Sarah was a teacher, she and Edie thought their hike would be an interesting learning experience for students. Before they set off, they visited classrooms for two weeks. Students had the chance to try on a bag to see how much w 81 Sarah and Edie would be carrying during the trip. Students were also able to ask Sarah and Edie questions about the trail(踪迹). Sarah and Edie planned to post photos and diaries on the Internet during the trip so that the students would be able to check on their p 82 . ‎ ‎ Before they left, Sarah and Edie packed 18 boxes with things they need like biscuits, noodles, peanut butter, and dried fruits and vegetables. Their parents would mail the boxes to small towns a 83 the trail so Sarah and Edie could pick them up wherever they go. That way, Sarah and Edie did not have to carry all their supplies(补给) with them from the beginning of the trip. ‎ ‎ Sarah and Edie met plenty of friendly hikers during their trip. People who are hiking the Appalachian Trail often create “trail names” for t 84 and their friends. That explains why Sarah and Edie met hikers with names like “Cold Feet” and “Baked Beans”!‎ There are many shelters. Hikers can stay there overnight, especially in times of bad weather. There are also books called registers(签到本) at many of the shelters. Hikers can sign the books and l 85 notes for friends they have made, giving them some information or just saying “Hi”. ‎ ‎ Sarah and Edie met with all k 86 of weather on their hike. They had days of beautiful clear weather, but they also hiked through rainstorms. Sometimes the weather was so hot that they had to drink a lot of water. ‎ ‎ When Sarah and Edie were in Virginia, there was a forest fire. They had to wait until it was c 87 safe to go on. Because of a fire in Shenandoah National Forest, they missed a 45-mile of the hike. Later in their trip, Sarah and Edie had to ask someone to drive them back there so they would not miss a single mile of the AT!‎ ‎ Four and a half months after they began the hike in Georgia, Sarah and Edie finally succeeded at Mount Katahdin in Maine. ‎ D. Answer the questions (根据以下内容回答问题): (12分)‎ Most of us have never thought about building an educational toy by ourselves. If we need a learning toy or something, we simply go to the nearest store and buy it. However, things are not as easy in third world countries. With families even having no food to put on the table, buying toys, especially the educational ones, is the last thing on the parents’ minds.‎ So how can one get these kids interested in science? This was a question that worried the Indian engineer Arvind Gupta so much that he decided to give up a good job and spend his life making toys from trash, things that people no longer want or need!‎ Mr. Gupta began teaching in the 1970s. While still an engineering student at the Indian College of Technology, he volunteered to teach the children who could not afford to go to school. Upon graduation, he found a good job at India’s Tata Motors and spent the next five years designing cars.‎ But he soon realized that this was not something he wanted to do for the rest of his life. So he took a year’s training course and took part in the Hoshangabad Science Teaching Program whose aim was to make science fun and exciting for poor children using available materials.‎ Mr. Gupta found the whole project so satisfying that he decided to leave his high-paying job and focus his attention on designing educational toys that were not only cheap and easy to build, but are also full of scientific principles(原理), so that children could get interested in this interesting subject. ‎ When the Internet started becoming a more widespread learning tool, Mr. Gupta created a Toys from Trash website and also recorded over 250 YouTube videos. ‎ Today, over 50,000 children and teachers visit the website daily to download the videos for the toy creations based on cool science. Some young children have become so inspired(鼓舞) that they have even won international science competitions with the help of his creations.‎ ‎88. What are these educational toys made from?‎ ‎89. Did Arind Gupta start building educational toys as soon as he graduated from the college?‎ ‎90. Who did Mr. Gupta build these educational toys for?‎ ‎91. How are the educational toys designed by Mr. Gupta?‎ ‎92. What did Mr. Gupta do to introduce his educational toys?‎ ‎93. What do you think of these educational toys? Why?‎ VII. Writing: (20分)‎ ‎94. Write at least 60 words about the topic “Life Teaches Me __________” (以“生活教会我……”为题写一篇不少于60个词的短文，标点符号不占格。)‎ 生活是我们最好的老师，我们从“他”身上学会了坚强、自信、感恩等等。你一定也有相似的经历，请选取一个角度，谈谈你在生活中学会了什么，并得到了哪些启发。‎ ‎(注意： 1、在答题纸上将题目补充完整。‎ ‎2、短文中不得出现任何人名、校名及其他相关信息，否则不予评分。)‎ The following sentence patterns are for reference only.
