Second, your notes are excellent materials to refer to when you are studying for a test. Third, note-taking offers variety to your study time and helps you to hold your interest.‎ You will want to take notes during classroom discussions and while reading a textbook or doing research for a report. 37 Whenever or however you take notes, keep in mind that note-taking is a selective process. 38 ‎ The following methods may work best for you.‎ ‎●Read the text quickly to find the main facts and ideas in it.‎ ‎●Read the text and watch for words carefully that can show main points and supporting facts.‎ ‎● Write your notes in your own words.‎ ‎● 39 ‎ ‎● Note any questions or ideas you may have about what was said or written.‎ As you take notes, you may want to use your own shorthand(速记).

A student’s high school GPA is also considered. 1 Each letter grade is assigned a number of points: A=4 points, B=3, C=2, D=1 and F=0 point. A GPA is calculated by adding all of the points earned for each course grade and dividing the total points by the total number of courses taken. 2 ‎ Universities prefer to see applications from high school students who have engaged in activities in their spare time, such as clubs, athletic teams and student government. 3 ‎ Most students in the US take the SAT Reasoning Test or the ACT during their final year of high school. Each university sets a minimum SAT or ACT score that a student must achieve in order to be admitted. These are standardized quantitative examinations. The SAT tests critical reading, math and writing skills. 4 ‎ Students are often required to write an essay as part of the application process. 5 The applicants may also be required to have a personal interview with a representative from the admissions office. ‎ A.A student who fails a required course must repeat the course. ‎ B.A GPA is a figure representing a student’s accumulated grades. ‎ C. Each admissions office determines the length and content of the essay. ‎ D. For example, a GPA of 3.0 is a “B” average for all of the courses taken. ‎ E.A student graduates after he or she has successfully passed all the required courses. ‎ F. The ACT tests English, math, reading, science reasoning and optional writing. ‎ G. Voluntary participation in these activities shows students have learned valuable life lessons. ‎ 参考答案：‎ ‎【语篇导读】文章谈及了大学录取的各项要求，指出学生需要在成绩、实践、面试等方面均达标才可进入大学。‎ ‎1.B 【解析】下文解释了GPA的具体内容，由此推断空缺处填入GPA的概念，因此答案选B项。‎ ‎2.D 【解析】上文解释了GPA成绩的计算方法，由此推断此处是结合具体的数字进一步对GPA进行说明。‎ ‎3.G 【解析】上一句提及大学倾向于录取那些利用业余时间参加实践活动的学生，显然空缺处是继续谈及实践活动，由此不难确定答案选G项。‎ ‎4.F 【解析】空缺处所在段落主要提及了SAT和ACT两种考试。前一句说明了SAT的测试内容，由此不难推断空缺处填入ACT考试考查的内容。‎ ‎5.C 【解析】前一句讲到要求申请者写一篇 essay，显然填入内容与 essay 的写作相关，由此不难确定答案选C项。‎ ‎[五]‎ Americans use the term “college students” to refer to students either in colleges or universities. Not only that, Americans almost never say “going off to university” or “when I was in university”. That sounds British. 1 College, university：what’s the difference? 2 Both offer undergraduate degrees in the arts and sciences, for example. And both can help prepare young people to earn a living. But many colleges do not offer graduate studies. Another difference is that universities ‎ are generally bigger. 3 ‎ Another place of higher education, especially in technical areas, is an institute, like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Yet even an institute of technology can offer a wide choice of programs and activities. ‎ Modern universities developed from those of Europe in the Middle Ages. The word “university” came from the Latin university, describing a group of people organized for a common purpose.‎ ‎ 4 In England, colleges were formed to provide students with places to live. Usually each group was studying the same thing. So college came to mean an area of study. ‎ The first American universities divided their studies into a number of areas and called each one a college. This is still true. 5 For example, Harvard College is the undergraduate part of Harvard University. ‎ Programs in higher learning can also be called schools, like a school of engineering or a medical school within a college or university. You know, learning all these terms is an education in itself. ‎ A. There are more universities than colleges in the USA.‎ B.A college can also be part of a university. ‎ C. “College” came from collegium, a Latin word with a similar meaning. ‎ D. They offer more programs and do more research. ‎ E. Universities and colleges offer students different opportunities. ‎ F. Colleges and universities have many things in common. ‎ G. Instead, they say “going off to college” or “when I was in college”.‎ 参考答案：‎ ‎【语篇导读】文章主要指出了 university 和 college 的异同。‎ ‎1.G 【解析】结合空白处前面的叙述可知选G项，承接上文。‎ ‎2.F 【解析】空白处前面提出问题what’s the difference?，所以空白处应该是对这个问题的回答，此外，空白处后面说的是两者的共同点，所以F项正确。‎ ‎3.D 【解析】根据空白处前面的Another difference is that universities are ‎ generally bigger.可知，空白处承接上文，依然是说两者的差异。故选D项。‎ ‎4.C 【解析】空白处前面说的是 university 的来源，所以这里应该说 college 的来源。此外，空白处后面的内容都是对 college 的解释和说明。故选C项。‎ ‎5.B 【解析】B项A college can also be part of a university.和空白处前后文的内容在语意上相衔接。‎ ‎[六]‎ How to Sleep Better If you’re having trouble getting good sleep through the night (turning, waking up more than once, for example), this text will tell you what you can do to ensure a peaceful night’s sleep. ‎ ‎1. Get on schedule. Changing your sleeping time by more than an hour can severely disturb your sleep quality. 1 For example, if you normally wake up at 6 a.m. on weekdays to get to work, you might go to bed around 10 p.m., because that’s when you start to feel sleepy, and it’s also a good time to ensure 8 hours of sleep. If, on the weekend, you sleep until 9 a.m., you probably won’t be able to fall asleep that night until 1 a.m. ‎ ‎2. 2 Wait at least three hours after dinner before going to sleep. Digestion slows down while asleep, and a full stomach may interrupt sleep. Similarly, you should avoid going to bed with an empty stomach, as a completely empty stomach may equally disturb your sleeping patterns. ‎ ‎3. 3 Exposure to light during the time when you’re supposed to be sleeping can disrupt your body’s internal clock. Turn your light off, or use a very dim night light 4 They include windows, LED clocks, computer lights and cable boxes. ‎ ‎4. Change your sleeping position. You may think that it’s impossible to control what position you sleep in since you aren’t fully aware of what you are doing, but it is possible and it can make a considerable ‎ difference. 5 ‎ A. Try to avoid all sources of light. ‎ B. Keep the room as dark as possible. ‎ C. Make note of unusual circumstances. ‎ D. Be mindful of what you eat or drink before bed. ‎ E. Sleep is considered to be adequate only when there is no daytime sleepiness.‎ F. In other words, sudden change of sleeping time will affect your “biological clock”. ‎ G. So if you wake up in the middle of the night, make an effort to have a comfortable position.‎ ‎[参考答案语篇导读】本文讲述如何才能有更好的睡眠质量，作者提到四点建议。‎ ‎1.F 【解析】根据上文的 Get on schedule. Changing your sleeping time by more than an hour can severely disturb your sleep quality.可知要遵循一定的时间表入睡，而改变睡眠时间可能会影响你的睡眠质量，这与F项意思一致。‎ ‎2.D 【解析】根据下文的 Wait at least three hours after dinner before going to sleep.可知，吃饭后至少要过三个小时再去睡觉。故选D项(注意你睡前所吃或喝的东西)。‎ ‎3.B 【解析】根据下文的 Exposure to light during the time when you’re supposed to be sleeping can disrupt your body’s internal clock.可知，光线会扰乱你的生物钟。故选B项(尽可能保持房间黑暗)。‎ ‎4.A 【解析】根据上一句 Turn your light off,or use a very dim night light.可知，要关闭所有的灯或使用光线暗的夜灯。故选A项（努力避开所有的光源）。下文的 windows，LED clocks，computer lights 等都是光源。‎ ‎5.G 【解析】根据上一句 You may think that it’s impossible to control what position you sleep in since you aren’t fully aware of what you are doing，but it is possible and it can make a considerable difference.可知，控制你的睡姿是有可能的，并且会产生不错的效果。故选G项（所以如果你半夜醒来,尝试换个舒服点的姿势。）‎ ‎[七]‎ Family Values To understand a nation, you should first get to know its minimum unit—family. 1 ‎ In the US, upon reaching an appropriate age, children are encouraged, but not forced, to “leave the nest” and begin an independent life. 2 Parents do not arrange marriages for their children, nor do children usually ask permission of their parents to get married. Young adults meet their future spouses(配偶) through other friends, at jobs, and in organizations and religious institutions. Although children choose their own spouses, they still hope their parents will approve of their choices. ‎ Parents feel that children should make major life decisions by themselves in many families. A parent may try to influence a child to follow a particular profession but the child is free to choose another job. 3 A son may deliberately decide not to go into his father’s business because of a fear that he will lose his independence in his father’s workplace. This independence from parents is not an indication that parents and children do not love each other. Strong love between parents and children is universal and this is no exception in the American family. ‎ ‎4 It is not like we Chinese. Parents are rulers and masters. We Chinese love our parents with fear and total respect. In America, children always have their own opinions and even can talk about some sensitive problems with their parents, like family financial situation, the relationship between mother and father, and even sex.‎ ‎ 5 Therefore, it is contrary that, on one hand, Americans admire independence and equality that they don’t want to make sacrifice to make up a family, but on the other hand, Americans think highly of family in their value system. ‎ A. In the American family, children and parents are equal. ‎ B. It can reflect the traditional values and customs of a nation. ‎ C. When it comes to big problems, children do not have to always follow their parents’ ways. ‎ D. After children leave home, they often find social relationship and financial support outside the family. ‎ E. Although Americans pay much attention to independence and equality, they don’t believe in making sacrifice. ‎ F. Sometimes children do precisely the opposite of what their parents wish in order to declare their independence. ‎ G. Many of them are expected to leave what could be life’s most important decision—marriage almost entirely up to luck. ‎ 参考答案：‎ ‎【语篇导读】本文介绍了美国家庭的价值观，他们崇尚独立和平等，虽然不愿意为家庭做出牺牲，但是在他们的价值体系中，家庭仍然是不可或缺的。‎ ‎1.B 【解析】根据文章的标题 Family Values 以及上文的 To understand a nation，you should first get to know its minimum unit—family.可知，要了解一个国家，你首先应该了解其最小的单位——家庭。家庭能够反映一个国家的传统价值观和习俗。故选B项。‎ ‎2.D 【解析】由上文的…to “leave the nest” and begin an independent life.可知，在美国，到了合适的年龄，孩子们就被鼓励但不是被迫离开家开始独立的生活。在孩子们离开家以后，他们常常在家庭之外找到社会关系和经济援助。故选项D符合题意。‎ ‎3.F 【解析】根据上文的 A parent may try to influence a child to follow a particular profession but the child is free to choose another job.以及下文的 A son may deliberately decide not to go into his father’s business because of a fear that he will lose his independence in his father’s workplace.可知，为了宣布自己独立，有时孩子们会做与父母的愿望恰恰相反的事情。故选项F正确。‎ ‎4.A 【解析】由下文的 It is not like we Chinese. Parents are rulers and ‎ masters.可知，不像我们中国人，父母像统治者和主人一样高高在上。在美国的家庭里，孩子和父母是平等的。故选A项。‎ ‎5.E 【解析】由下文的 Therefore，it is contrary that，on one hand，Americans admire independence and equality that they don’t want to make sacrifice to make up a family…可知，虽然美国人崇尚独立和平等，但是他们不想为了家庭而牺牲个人。故选项E符合题意。‎ ‎[八]‎ As is known to all, many things can be measured in terms of data. Sometimes data can indeed tell the truth. With the help of data we can easily know the price of a can of Coke in the supermarket or the result of a football match. 1 What is more important, is that data seem to be fairer than words and statements. If the data are true, we don’t have to worry about being cheated. Nowadays, as lies exist in the world, data are expected to tell the truth. Therefore, many of us would rather believe data. ‎ On the other hand, if we judge things only by data from the so-called specific research, aren’t we a little too narrow-minded? Many people often treat the so-called specific data unwisely just to make sure that they are making the right decisions. 2 For example, how can you tell that he or she isn’t a good student just because he or she doesn’t get high marks in the final examination? 3 ‎ For example, the degree of your feeling happy in your life, the depth of love between you and your friends, and the faith you have in your country. We can only feel them in our hearts but can never express them in data. ‎ There is no doubt that analyzing the exact data is important to the assessment of an actual event. But data should be dealt with wisely. We often get wrong data which mislead us. 4 Remember, data have no feeling but we humans have. Data do not mean much to people if we do not have the ability to analyze the data with the knowledge and confidence to judge whether they are true or false. 5 ‎ Data are data, after all. Life is much more colorful than the pale data. So give the cold data a warm heart and we’ll find that the world is far more wonderful than the pale data can describe. ‎ A. We should try our best to be wise thinkers. ‎ B. Data can make our life easier and more comfortable. ‎ C. But sometimes we may find that data aren’t everything. ‎ D. Sometimes our hearts and minds are more sensitive than data. ‎ E. Now and then the so-called specific data puzzle us very much. ‎ F. The exact data should come from the assessment of an actual event. ‎ G. are many things in our life which cannot be measured by data. ‎ ‎【参考答案：语篇导读】生活中数据无处不在，它们带给我们便利的同时，我们也要看到其局限性。很多东西不能单纯地用数据来衡量。我们要正确对待数据，不要过分依赖它们。‎ ‎1.B 【解析】根据上下文可知，此段介绍的是数据带给我们的便利。由B项中的关键词 easier 和 more comfortable 可知选B项。‎ ‎2.C 【解析】根据上下文可知，此段介绍的是数据的局限性，数据并不是万能的。故C项符合文意。‎ ‎3.G 【解析】根据下文中的We can only feel them in our hearts but can never express them in data.可知，很多东西是无法用数据来衡量的。G项是主题句，统领全段。‎ ‎4.D 【解析】根据上下文可知，我们应该明智地对待数据，错误的数据有时候会误导我们，我们人类有感情而数据没有。因此D项符合文意。‎ ‎5.A 【解析】根据上下文内容可知A项正确，我们应该尽全力成为聪明的思考者。‎ ‎[九]‎ Scientists have found that although our genes and circumstances matter, a huge number of the variations in happiness between us come from our choices and activities. The following are simply several areas that tend to make a big difference to people’s happiness. 1 . ‎ Notice the world around you Have you ever felt there must be more to life? Good news—there is. And it’s right here in front of us. 2 . Learning to be more mindful and aware does wonders for our well-being, whether it’s on our walk to work, in the way we eat or in our relationships. It helps us get in tune with our feelings and stops us settling on the past or worrying about the future. ‎ Keep learning ‎ ‎ 3 . It exposes us to new ideas and helps us stay curious and engaged. It also gives us a sense of accomplishment and helps develop our self-confidence. There are many ways to learn new things throughout our lives. We can share a skill with friends, join a club, learn to sing, play a news sport and so much more.‎ ‎ 4 ‎ Feeling good about the future is really important for our happiness. We all need goals to motivate us and these have to be challenging enough to excite us, but also achievable. 5 . Choosing meaningful but realistic goals gives our lives direction and brings a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction when we achieve them. ‎ A. Have goals to look forward to B. We just need to stop and take notice C. Try to feel good when making choices D. Learning affects our happiness in lots of positive ways E. Importantly, they are all areas that are within our control F. When something is troubling you, do something you really enjoy G. If we try to attempt the impossible, this creates unnecessary stress 参考答案：‎ ‎【语篇导读】一个人是否快乐虽然与遗传和环境有很大的关系，然而是否快乐在很大程度上取决于你的选择，那么怎样才能快乐起来呢？‎ ‎1.E 【解析】选项E中的they are all areas与前一句中的The following are ‎ simply several areas相呼应。故选E项。‎ ‎2.B 【解析】根据小标题Notice the world around you及空后句子中的mindful和aware可知B项符合语境。‎ ‎3.D 【解析】根据小标题Keep learning及空后提到的learning的作用可知选项D符合语境。‎ ‎4.A 【解析】本段的中心词是goals，主要说明我们需要有目标，应该如何选择目标。故A项符合题意。‎ ‎5.G 【解析】根据空前的achievable和空后的meaningful but realistic goals可知G项“如果我们试图尝试不可能(达到的目标)，这会造成不必要的压力”符合语境。‎ ‎[十]‎ There are many costs involved in going to college including tuition, books, housing, entertainment and food. To avoid getting yourself into a difficult situation, here are five practical money tips for you, the college students. ‎ Don’t eat out all the time. It may be convenient to eat out frequently, but it can end up costing you a lot of money. Start keeping track of how many times you eat out every week or month. 1 ‎ Use your credit card for emergencies only. With all of the expenses associated with going to college, it can be very easy to build up a lot of credit card debt. 2 It is easy to overspend and spend without thinking when you’re paying by credit card, but when you pay in cash, things are different.‎ ‎ 3 The profit margins(利润率) at college and university bookstores can be as high as 50%. The main reason why students buy books from these bookstores is convenience. But if you plan ahead and do some online shopping, you can save yourself hundreds of dollars per semester.‎ Find financial aid and scholarship programs. They help pay for your education and other expenses. 4 Most of these scholarships just ‎ require a simple essay and resume(简历). If you’re not maxing out the amount of financial aid and scholarships you receive, you’re leaving money on the table. ‎ Take advantage of student discounts. Ask around to find out about restaurants and entertainment places that offer discounts to college students. 5 ‎ College is expensive and is getting more expensive each year. With these tips, you’ll have a better chance of keeping your financial health throughout college. ‎ A. Be careful of promotions on campus. ‎ B. Buy books online before the semester starts. ‎ C. And these costs can quickly add up and make life a nightmare. ‎ D. You might be surprised by how much money you spend on food. ‎ E. There is probably a scholarship program for your particular major. ‎ F. You can get discounts on meals and movie tickets just for having a college ID.‎ G. So instead of making poor decisions with your credit card, save it for a rainy day. ‎ 参考答案：‎ ‎【语篇导读】这篇文章主要介绍了在校大学生如何在上大学期间节省钱。‎ ‎1.D 【解析】根据此段的Don’t eat out all the time. Start keeping track of how many times you eat out every week or month.可知，作者建议不要经常在外边吃饭，要把每周或每月在外边吃饭的次数记下来，这样“你可能会为你花在食物上的钱的数目而感到吃惊”。故D项符合语境。‎ ‎2.G 【解析】G选项中的save it for a rainy day与该段小标题Use your credit card for emergencies only相呼应。故选G项。‎ ‎3.B 【解析】根据此段的if you plan ahead and do some online shopping， you can save yourself hundreds of dollars per semester.可知B项（在学期开始之前在网上买书）符合语境。‎ ‎4.E 【解析】根据此段的Find financial aid and scholarship programs.可知，要寻找经济上的帮助或奖学金项目，这样也可以节省钱。故选E项。‎ ‎5.F 【解析】F项中的get discounts on meals and movie tickets just for having a college ID与该段小标题Take advantage of student discounts相呼应。故F项符合语境。‎
