【2021·江西师大附中三模】
An older friend once gave me a piece of advice，“Enjoy the last few weeks of college，” she said，“since college is the best time of your life.”
This was not the first time I’d heard such a statement，but with graduation fast coming close，her words especially struck me.It seemed a bit disappointing to reach one’s life peak at only 22 years of age，but in her opinion，college had been one of the best times in my life so far.I made friends，took classes，and learned a great deal about myself.But I was also excited for the time after college—moving to a new city，starting a new job，and becoming a “real” person.I hoped that my great dreams were practical.
Then，last week I read a column in Real Simple Magazine called 100 Years of Attitude，in which women 100 years or older shared their life experiences and views.I noticed that none of them considered college as the “best” time of their life.Not all of them went to college，but still in most cases their teens and twenties were not the best times of their life.They said some of their favorite times were raising their children，traveling after retirement，and even enjoying their present time and age.
Enjoying one’s present time and age was a clear theme of the interviews.A piece of advice given by the women was about the importance of making the best of all situations.I think it more accurate than that of my friend；I can say with certainty that if I am lucky enough to make it to 100.I refuse to spend the last 80 years of my life plummeting (跌落) downhill，or even leveling off.
I am sure that our eagerness and devotion will make us college students live a meaningful life.We will not just look backwards or miss our college days.We will look forward in excitement about continued journey uphill.
1．Which of the following opinions does the writer agree with?
A．College is the best time of one’s life.
B．Twenties were the best time of the old people.

A．her achievements in college would be the peak of her success
B．she is looking forward to living as a “real” person in college
C．she becomes more and more uneasy with graduation
D．she is satisfied with the college life but is hopeful for the future
3．The column the writer read is mainly about those old women’s________.
A．best time of life at youth
B．life experiences and views
C．different opinions about life
D．favorite time with best friends

A．she will not spend the rest of her time at college
B．she will not just obtain a college level certificate
C．she will not be satisfied with what she has already accomplished
D．she will not be content with the life in the future

If you are planning to study in the United States, you need to consider several factors. Everyone has different opinions about where is the best place to live in. Also, the best places to live in are not always home to the best schools. Finally, many schools specialize in different areas of study. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (麻省理工学院)，for example, is a great school for computer science and technology-related fields of study. However, if you want to study oceanography(海、洋学)，your interests may be better served by attending school in a place that is on a coastline or near the ocean.
Now I am sure that you know which schools are considered the best in the country. So I will tell you about which states I believe are the best to live in.
California is a nice state. Northern California specifically has very good weather. Los Angeles in Southern California is another story though. Life in Los Angeles is full of excitement and fast, and sometimes dangerous. As for me, I enjoy the time I spent in Massachusetts, Virginia and Maryland and these states have a lot of history and culture. The weather is not as perfect as Northern California, but it is still quite nice. My favorite area of America is the Mid-west. Middle America, I think, is home to the true American sense of values. In addition, there are many good universities there.
Also, you need to think about your likes and dislikes and then research the various states. You like sunshine and hate snow? Then you probably won't like the Midwest or even the Northeast. Open space, nature and peace and quiet? Then you probably should stay away from America's large cities. Are you interested in government? Then Washington D.C. is the only place for you. Whatever you decide, put some thought into it. The place you live in could be the difference between a great study-abroad experience and a state of great suffering on earth.
31.From the first paragraph we can conclude that in the USA _____.
A. all colleges and universities lie in big cities
B. all colleges and universities lie in beautiful places
C. famous colleges and universities lie in nice places
D. famous colleges and universities may not lie in nice places
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。由“the best places to live in are not always home to the best schools.”可知好高校不愿定位于好的地方。故选D。
32. What, according to the writer, should be considered first if you want to study in the USA?
A. The climate. B. The scenery. C. The study condition. D. The living condition.
【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。由第一，二段可知，作者认为想去美国学习首先应考虑学习环境。
33.From the third paragraph we can find that _____.
A. California is the best place to live in
B. California is the worst place to live in
C. California is a state with different climates
D. California is a small state in the USA
【答案】c
【解析】细节理解题。由“Northern California specifically has very good weather. ”和“The weather is not as perfect as Northern California, but it is still quite nice.”可知加利福尼亚州有不同的气候。
34.If you study in Middle America, you can probably _____.
A. find the best universities B. feel the real character of the nation
C. meet the most famous professors there D. face more difficulties
【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。由“Middle America, I think, is home to the true American sense of values.”可知选B。
35.From the last paragraph of this passage we can get to know that .
A. Washington is the largest city in the USA
B. Washington D.C. is the political centre of the USA
C. you can't find sunshine in the Midwest
D. you can't find any universities out of big cities in the USA
【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。由“Are you interested in government? Then Washington D.C. is the only place for you.”华盛顿是美国的政治中心。故选B。

阅读下列四篇短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
My grandparents actively practiced simplicity. They both grew up in very large families and lived through the Great Depression. Saving for a rainy day and avoiding superfluous consuming was their life philosophy. Rather than seeking fulfillment through material items, they chose to spend really simple life together, with family and in nature.
Over the years my grandparents noticed dramatic changes in their community. Every year more farmland was destroyed to build larger and larger homes. As real estate prices rose, many of their neighbors sold their little homes and land. Soon theirs were the only small house on the block, surrounded by a sea of mansions. My grandparents built and lived m a small 600-square-foot cottage for most of their adult lives. Lots of family members encouraged my grandparents to expand their little old house. But they didn’t want a bigger place. They loved their little house and were content with what they had.
My grandparents avoided consumptive(铺张的）lifestyle by painting and repairing the house themselves. They lived in a small home, but had a huge garden. They loved gardening and planting because it reduced their grocery bill, improved their health, and gave them an excuse to be outside. They also reused and recycled everything. For instance, they had driven the same car for over 15 years and didn’t buy a new one until the old Chevrolet was worn out.
Through their example I learned an important lesson: It is possible to live a simple and fulfilling life. My grandparents taught me that living a simple life isn’t about self-deprivation. Instead, it’s about giving yourself the time, freedom, and money to pursue your dreams. Becoming debt free, downsizing to a smaller home, and going car-lite(削减用车频率）are a few ways to take control of your life and start pursuing your dreams.
