While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker，he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.This attitude toward manual(体力的) labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously (豪华地) furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel，expensive hobbies，and college education for the children；yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself，will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward，furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary，the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional man may talk about washing the car，digging in his flowerbeds，painting the house. His wife may even help with these things，just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait_on_table and wash dishes for his living，or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.21From Paragraph 1，we can know that in America _Apeople feel painful to mention their fathers as laborersBpeople can always rise to the top through their own effortsCcollege professors win great respect from common workersDpeople tend to have a high opinion of the selfmade man22According to the passage，the hostess cooks dinner herself mainly because _Aservants in America are hard to get Bshe takes pride in what she can do herselfCshe can hardly afford servants DIt is easy to prepare a meal with canned food23The expression “wait on table” in the second paragraph means “_”Await to lay the table Bkeep accounts for a barCserve customers in a restaurant Dwork in a furniture shop24Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?AAmerican Attitude toward Manual Labor BA Respectable Selfmade FamilyCCharacteristics of American Culture DThe Development of Manual LaborBSome say college is wasted on the young. So many of us look back on our own college years and realize what we could have done differently to make the most of them. While we cant go back, we certainly can offer our sons and daughters our best advice to help them make the right choices in college. Hopefully, they will have fewer regrets than we do. The following are five guidelines parents can share with their college-bound kids to put the whole experience in perspective. EDUCATION IS YOUR FIRST PRIORITYAs soon as you arrive on campus, there will be competing interests. Feel free to check them out but always remember that you are there first and foremost for your education. Go to class prepared and on time. Be engaged during class. Make sure your professor knows you and realizes that you care. BE RESPONSIBLEThere are many layers of responsibility. Do what you say you will do and, if you cant, own up to it early and communicate clearly. But being responsible isnt just about meeting your commitments; it is also about taking care of you, your body, and your friends. For example, more than 1, 800 college students die annually from alcohol-related injuries. Look out for yourself and other people. Make moderate, sensible decisions so you arent suffering from the consequences later. TAKE THE OPPORTUNITYIncredible opportunities will present themselves: studying abroad, interning at a unique place, trying new things. Dont let fear prevent you from taking advantage of them. There may never be so much time or as many resources devoted to your betterment again in your life. Say yes to opportunities that will help you grow. FIND AND BE A MENTOR(顾问)Some of the best lessons available to us can come outside of the classroom in the form of a mentor. One of the most powerful growth opportunities is being a mentor. Early on, find someone on campus who you feel can help you grow and develop a relationship with him or her. Also find someone for you to mentor. You will reinforce and enrich your own learning experience by teaching someone else. GET THE JOB DONEIt is natural to occasionally feel you want to quit, when it makes more sense to you to go and find a full-time job. Resist that urge. As Jocelyn Negron-Rios, a mother of two, who is currently completing her degree, advises, “No matter how difficult it seems, keep at it because however insurmountable it feels now multiply that by 10, 000 and that is how it feels when you are in your thirties with a full-time job and a family and are trying to pursue a degree. ”25. According to the passage, the most important thing for college students is. A. taking part in different activities B. working hard to get a degreeC. seizing every chance to try new thingsD. improving themselves by learning from others26. Which of the following about college life is TRUE? A. Passing on what youve learned in college can help you enrich your learning experience. B. Make sure that you are responsible for yourself rather than others. C. Professors will not assess your performances in class but the grades you get in exams. D. You can make full use of the opportunity whenever you want. 27. What can we infer from the words said by Jocelyn in the last paragraph? A. Persistence is the key to success when you meet with difficulties in your learning process. B. It is better if you gain more working experience before you finish your education. C. As long as you work hard, you can gain a degree even when you are in your thirties. D. Youth is the best time to learn since you have less burden. 28. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To give some rules for the college students. B. To call on the students to make full use of college years. C. To summarize some tips for parents to share with their college-bound children. D. To analyze the benefits and difficulties of college life. CCast your mind back to the past twenty years and hardly did anyone have their own email account. The Internet just took off in 1991 and people were only using office and PCbased email exchanges.In the mid 1990s external email providers emerged. The most famous of these was Hotmail，the first free email provider and webbased email service. Sabeer Bhatia and Jack Smith launched Hotmail on July 4,1996. And Microsoft took note of and bought Hotmail for $400 million on December 30,1997，a nice birthday present for Bhatia who turned 29 that day. It was relaunched as MSN Hotmail and in 2007 was relaunched again as Windows Live Hotmail.Fast forward the present day and most of us have at least a personal webbased email account. It seems impossible to live without them. One of the biggest advantages of email is the fact that communication has become so much easier，especially with those across different time zones. Email takes seconds to send a message whereas letters，as we used to communicate by，could take weeks. Of course there was the fax，that beeping invention from the 1980s，but it wasnt as secure as email and you never knew if the person on the other end had picked up your fax or if it had got lost somewhere in the office.In conclusion，one of the best inventions from the 1990s has to be email. But sometimes people are too closely connected to their email and have a compulsion to check it several times a day. At work，people have become lazy and instead of going to speak to the person sitting next to them，they send an email，causing an inbox to pile up with more time spent reading email and responding rather than working. Clearly，an invention that saved time because of its quick and speedy connection can now also cause us to waste a lot of time.29Which of the following may be the main idea of the second paragraph?AThe development of Microsoft. BThe life of Sabeer Bhatia and Jack Smith.CThe connection of MSN and Hotmail. DThe history of modern email.30The author mentions “fax” in the third paragraph in order to tell us that _.Ait is exactly as good as email Bit is much better than emailCit is less convenient than email Dit is easier and faster than email31The underlined word “compulsion” in Paragraph 4 probably means“_”Astrong desire Bcommon sense Cspecial curiosity Dgeneral ideaDJust 25 years ago，the top three career hopes for young people in Britain were teacher，banker and doctor. Now，they want to be sports star，pop star and actor，according to a survey by the Guardian newspaper.Rachel，a character in the popular TV show Glee，may be said to speak for British teenagers. “Nowadays being nobody is worse than being poor.” he said.Emma Brockes，a reporter with the Guardian，believes it is “the bad influence of celebrity (名人) culture” that is to blame. “When children wanted to be doctor，it wasnt because they were really more interested in the functions of human organs than they are now；you go where the respect is.” she wrote.It could explain why there has been such an increase in levels of anxiety and depression. Dr Carlo Strenger，of Tel Aviv University，studied the sense of self for his new book The Fear of Insignificance：Searching for Meaning in the 21st Century. He told the Daily Mail that young people now are “affected by the close connection to the global entertainment network，which has turned ranking and rating people according to wealth and celebrity into an obsession (痴迷)”“As humans，we naturally measure ourselves to those around us，but now we live in a global village. We are comparing ourselves with the most important people in the world and finding ourselves wanting，” he said. Today, even high achievers constantly fear that they are insignificant when they compare themselves to success stories in the media.The way out？Simply stop measuring your achievement through a fantasy of wealth and celebrity. Dr Strenger said that it is a process called “active selfacceptance through a constant search for selfknowledge through life”“The fear of insignificance can only be overcome through strong individual and cultural identity over and above measurable achievement，” he said.32Nowadays，young people in Britain want to _.Achoose jobs based on interests Bbecome famousCbe teacher，banker and doctor Dearn more money33According to Emma Brockes，what causes the increasing level of anxiety?AChoices of future careers. BAccess to the global network.CBad influences of celebrities. DEndless comparison with others.34Which of the following is TRUE of Dr Carlo Strenger?AHe is a newspaper reporter. BHe is the spokesman of teenagers.CHe tells success stories on TV. DHe is against ranking people with wealth.35Dr Carlo Strenger suggests that young people should_.Aseek active selfacceptance Bstick to their own dreamsCmake great achievements Dsearch for the secret of wealth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。How to Love Your ParentsEven if you think that your parents are mean-spirited at times, loving your parents is a normal and fulfilling part of life.
