After 24 years I decided that I wanted to return to school and earn a degree. Some told me that it was too late. Others told me that I was too old. My heart told me that if it were meant to be that God would make it happen. One day while looking up information on how to go about getting into college, a little window popped up on my screen. It said, “Do you think you are too old to go back to school？” I clicked on the box and there I found an online college. I spoke to someone in the school and they assisted me in getting loans to pay for it. They told me that I could take classes any way that I wanted. I also found out that I could attend classes from home so that I could be there for my son. Now today, almost 2 years later, I will be not only graduating but graduating with honors. So for anyone out there who thinks that something is out of reach or impossible, remember this: if I would have listened to those people who told me I couldnt do it, then today would just be Saturday.第二部分阅读理解(满分40分，限时35分钟)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。AFor most incoming freshmen, moving into college dorms will be crazy and exciting for few days.But for Sally GardinerSmith, the experience lasted nine months. The 19yearold sailed from her home in Woolwich, Maine, finally, to Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, Florida.GardinerSmith has never lived away from home before, but she traveled a total of 3,000 miles to her freshman dorm only with her dog, Elli, by her side.“I knew I wanted to take a gap year and calm down and regroup before college，” GardinerSmith told ABC News.“And I knew I loved sailing.”So, after graduating from high school, GardinerSmith bought a 29foot sailboat named The Athena and planned a long voyage that shed take up alone. On October 1, the experienced sailor set out.“I decided to make this trip solo because of a desire to prove to myself that I can do what I want with my life，” GardinerSmith wrote in a blog post.The ninemonth voyage pushed GardinerSmiths limits both physically and emotionally. While she met up with friends and family at different ports along the way, the time at sea could be isolating; she went four or five days at a time without speaking to another human.One of her most challenging obstacles came only a week into her trip. While The Athena docked in Boston, Elli was hit by a truck. Her back leg had to be cut off and she was sent back to Maine to recover before rejoining GerdinerSmith three weeks later.GardinerSmith finally reached St. Petersburg on July 21, where she dried her boat and eventually moved into her college dorm.“I am good with the dorm because its the same size as the boat，” she told ABC News. The challenge of living so close to other people, however, has been a change of pace given the solitude (独处) she experienced on the boat.Although she doesnt know what she wants to major in yet, GardinerSmith says her gap year sailing alone prepares her for whatever college throws at her.语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了GardinerSmith驾船航行到达大学的经历以及途中所遇到的困难和自己的收获。21Why did GardinerSmith travel alone to her college by sailing?ABecause she wanted to take a gap year.BBecause traveling by sailing is very cheap.CBecause she was eager to be an experienced sailor.DBecause she wanted to prove her ability to herself.解析：选D细节理解题。根据第六段中的“because of a desire to prove to myself that I can do what I want with my life”可知，她想要向自己证明她能做她想做的事情。故选D项。22The underlined word “docked” in Paragraph 8 can be replaced by _.Acame into portBunloadedCsunk Dcame into use解析：选A词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“Elli was hit by a truck”和上文中的“One of her most challenging obstacles came only a week into her trip.”可知，此处表示GardinerSmith的船在波士顿进港时，她的狗Elli被卡车撞了。故选A项。23Whats likely to be a challenge for GardinerSmith in the college dorm?AChoosing what to major in.BBeing used to the size of her dorm.CLiving with other people closely.DLearning how to live on her own.解析：选C推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“The challenge of living so close to other people”可知，如何与他人亲密地生活在一起对于GardinerSmith来说是一个挑战。故选C项。BMusicOpera at Music Hall：1243 Elm Street.

But where did it come from?Rock began in the USA in the early 1950s. At that time, “rhythm and blue” music was very popular with black Americans.“R&B” was a mixture of black religious music and jazz. It had strong rhythms that you could dance to and simple, fast words.Noticing the success of R&B music, white musicians started to copy the same style. By the mid1950s, this new white R&B music, called rocknroll, had become very popular. Singers like Elvis Presley and Bill Haley attracted millions of teenage fans. Their music was fast and loud. Many older people thought that rocknroll was very dangerous.By the early 1960s, even rocknroll had become old fashioned. Many of the songs had begun to sound the same. It was at that time a new group from England became popular the Beatles.The Beatles first started by singing American style songs, but they soon developed their own style, with more complicated tunes. They also introduced different instruments. Groups like the Beatles had a very important influence on the style of popular music.By the early 1970s, rocknroll had developed into a new form of music. Electronics had replaced the amplified (放大的) guitars and drums of rocknroll.“Rock” had arrived.Rock music had continued to change and develop. It had combined with music from different parts of the world. Today, there are hundreds of different types of rock music, and almost every country has its own form of rock.28When had rocknroll become very popular?ABy the mid1950s.

Overall, students whose schools are surrounded by more green space improve more than pupils from schools with less green space.The study tracked more than 2,000 students in 36 primary schools in Barcelona, Spain. The pupils were in the second to fourth grade when the study began.Green space may help mental development in part by reducing air pollution from vehicles, according to an analysis by the researchers that included pollution data from the schools. It may also help by reducing noise and encouraging physical activity, researchers said in a paper released Monday by the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.“Policy makers should know that more green space around the school is better for cognitive (认知的) development and that they should make sure that kids can see and play in green areas，” one author, Mark Nieuwenhuijsen of the Center for Research in Environmental Epidemiology in Barcelona, said in an email. “Existing urban schools should think about replacing concrete or other hard surfaces with green space, and even a few trees may help，” he suggested.The researchers used satellite images to group schools according to how much green space appeared on the school ground and within about 55 yards of the schools surrounding property. Their analysis indicated that differences in socioeconomic factors between schools did not account for the study outcome.Sally Augustin, a psychologist in La Grange Park, Illinois, who used research on how people react to their surroundings to consult on design of buildings, products and services, said the results made sense to her. Augustin, who did not participate in the new study, said the results fit with previous findings that views of nature help children and adults lower stress and perform mental tasks better.语篇解读：一项研究表明，学校周边的绿地可能有助于促进学生的智力发育，因此政策制定者应设法为学生提供更多的绿地。32What do we know about the findings of the study?AAttentiveness is the most important quality for students.BA good memory enables students to perform a task better.CMore green space may help the mental development of students.DSchools surrounded by more green space are favored by parents.解析：选C细节理解题。根据文章的第一、二段可知，研究发现周边绿地较多的学校比绿地少的学校更能促进学生的智力发育。故选C。33According to Mark Nieuwenhuijsen, policy makers should _.Areduce the noise near the schoolBreduce air pollution from vehiclesCprovide more green sp
