Beginning college can be an exciting but awkward time. Follow these tips to adjust to your new life rapidly and make the most of your college experience.‎ ‎● To save time and money, use the college’s bus system. Taking the bus to school is quick, easy and free in most college towns. You won’t have to locate or afford a place to park either. It’s also a good way to be environmentally aware.‎ ‎● Save pennies on books by waiting until class starts. You might not even need all of the recommended books. New textbooks cost an arm and a leg. Try buying used textbooks — it’s a surefire way to save money and serves the purpose as well. ‎ ‎● Do never look at college life as an endless series of parties and social activities. ‎ But there is a whole lot more to college if you’re serious about graduating. Having a good college experience is all about balancing work and fun.‎ ‎● Be aware that your living environment can largely affect your academic success. If the dorm doesn’t suit you, consider living at home with your family or renting your own apartment. The best location for your studies isn’t always your dorm. Find a quiet area, like the library, to do your work. Alternatively, buy some headphones that block out noise.‎ ‎● Be mindful of your diet. Make healthy food choices and watch what you eat. Avoid foods that are processed or high in sugar. The “freshman 15” is real. Many college students gain at least 15 pounds during their freshmen year.‎ ‎● While electives (选修课) can be helpful when figuring out your major, you shouldn’t entirely rely on them. Clubs and other organizations exist around. Get involved. Make sure, though, that you still have time to study. Having too much on your plate can hurt your grades.‎ ‎21. Which of the following ideas can be financially wise? ‎ A. Driving your own car. B. Buying used books.‎ C. Renting an apartment. D. Attending activities.‎ ‎22. In the text, freshmen are repeatedly warned against ______.‎ A. academic failures B. physical problems ‎ C. traffic accidents D. social activities ‎23.

I roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom. I turn on the light and put on my glasses. The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. Usually I go for a long run, but today I choose my favorite exercise DVD insanity. Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes. My heart races as I face my body to finish each movement. As I near the end of the exercise, I feel extremely tired, but a smile is of my face. It’s not a smile because the DVD is over, but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.‎ Some people enjoy shopping, smoking, food, work, or even chocolate. But I need exercise to get through each day. Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother’s chocolate cake. They raise their eyebrows, surprised by my “no thank you,” or by my choice to have a salad. Over the years, I have learned it’s okay to just say “no.” I shouldn’t feel sorry for refusing food that I don’t want to eat.‎ So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5:00 a.m.? What gives me the reason to just say“no.” to ice cream? Commitment. A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety, increases self –confidence and energy, extends life and above all improve my body shape. This is the point where a smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit just right. It’s through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out.‎ ‎25.Why is there a smile on the author’s face in the morning?‎ A.

Others try to help her by offering her food ‎27. What does the underlined word “commitment” in the last paragraph mean?‎ A. Good health B. Firm belief C.A strong power D.A regular half ‎28. What can we learn about the author from the text?‎ A. She acts in a strange way B. She wants to look different from others C. She aims to develop a good body shape D. She has difficult getting along with others ‎ C China is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I've found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors—silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.‎ It's fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks．Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can't provide.‎ Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.‎ My first ride home was orderly．To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn't want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.‎ Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time，skill and a little bit of luck.‎ I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.‎ ‎29．According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?‎ A．Because they are traditional and safe.‎ B．Because they are convenient and inexpensive.‎ C．Because they are colorful and available.‎ D．Because they are fast and environment friendly.‎ ‎30．The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended ________．‎ A．to ride it for fun B．to use it for transport C．to experience local culture D．to improve his riding skills ‎31．How did the author feel about his street crossing?‎ A．It was boring. B．It was difficult. C．It was lively. D．It was wonderful.‎ ‎32．Which of the following best describes the author's biking experience?‎ A．The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.‎ B．The author was annoyed by the air while riding.‎ C．The author was praised by the other bikers.‎ D．The author took great pleasure in biking.‎ D ‎ I was waiting for a phone call from my agent. He had left a message the night before, telling me that my show was to be cancelled. I called him several times, but each time his secretary told me that he was in a meeting and that he would call me later. So I waited and waited, but there was still no call. Three hours passing by, I became more and more impatient. I was certain that my agent didn't care about my work, and he didn't care about me. I was overcome with that thought. I started to shout at the phone, "Let me wait, will you? Who do you think you are?" At that time I didn't realize my wife was looking on. Without showing her surprise,‎ ‎ she rushed in, seized the phone, tore off the wires, and shouted at the phone, "Yeah! Who do you think you are? Bad telephone! Bad telephone!" And she swept it into the wastebasket.‎ I stood watching her, speechless. What on earth? She stepped to the doorway and shouted at the rest of the house, "Now hear this! All objects in this room -- if you do anything to upset my husband, out you go!" Then she turned to me, kissed me, and said calmly, "Honey, you just have to learn how to take control." With that, she left the room. After watching a crazy woman rushing in and out, shouting at everything in sight, I noticed that something in my mood had changed. I was laughing. How could I have trouble with that phone? Her antics helped me realize I had been driven crazy by small things. Twenty minutes later my agent did call. I was able to listen to him and talk to him calmly. 33. Why did the author shout at the telephone? A. He was mad at the telephone. B. He was angry with his agent. C. He was anxious about his wife. D. He was impatient with the secretary. 34. What made the author laugh? A. His own behavior. ‎ B. His wife's suggestion. C. His changeable feelings. ‎ D. His wife's sweet kiss.‎ ‎35. What does the underlined word "antics" refer to?‎ A. Smart words.‎ B. Unusual actions.‎ C. Surprising looks.‎ D. Anxious feelings.‎ 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.‎ ‎ We are not born with courage, but neither are we born with fear. Fears, even the most basic ones, can totally destroy our ambitions. Fear can destroy fortunes. Fear can destroy relationships. Fear, if left unchecked, can destroy our lives.
