I liked my job, and was doing well there, but our company was bought by a larger company and most of the managers at our place lost their jobs. That was when I decided to do something Id always wanted to do become a freelance (自由撰稿的) writer. Changing professions (职业) has meant that my lifestyle has changed in a number of ways. The main difference for me now is that I have a much more flexible (灵活的) schedule. I work about as much as I did before between 45 and 50 hours a week but my schedule is much less rigid than it used to be. Before, I worked from 8 to 5 every day, with a few extra hours on weekends. Now, however, I work when I feel like it. For instance, sometimes I work until midnight or 2 A.M., then sleep until noon. I really prefer this kind of schedule. It seems more natural to me. I also decided that it was about time I began to pay more attention to my health. While I was working as a manager, I never exercised. I already felt tired after work, so I just came home in the evening and watched TV. However, last year I joined a health club and began to do regular exercise. As a result I have lost over 10 pounds and I feel much better. Ive also started to eat more healthfully. I used to eat a lot of fast food, but now I do my own shopping. I buy lots of fruits and vegetables and cook them at home. Of course, not all the changes have been that easy. For example, I dont feel as secure financially as I used to. When I was working as a manager, I never worried much about money. I could always count on getting my paycheck every two weeks. Working freelance, I dont have a regular paycheck. So now I have to make sure theres enough money until the next check arrives. All in all, I really like my current lifestyle. Of course, that doesnt mean Ill never want to have a regular job. But for now, at least, it suits me. 11.At the end of the passage, the author indicates that _. A. he is going to find a regular job soon B. he is not going to change his lifestyle in the near future C. he will continue to write for the rest of his life D. he will soon find out whether writing is a good career for him 正确答案：B题目解析：细节题。从最后一段可以看出“I really like my current lifestyle But for now, at least, it suits me.”（我真的喜欢当前的生活方式至少到现在，这种方式是适合我的），只有B“在近阶段，他将不会去改变他的生活方式”符合原文，所以正确答案为B。12.What is his chief problem now? A. He cannot count on his paycheck to arrive on time. B. He has no regular work to do. C. He has to find a publisher for his books. D. He has to worry about money. 正确答案：D题目解析：细节题。从第四段第二句话可以看出“I dont feel as secure financially as I used to.”（我没有像过去一样感觉到财政上的无虑），所以正确答案为D“他不得不为了钱的事情担心”。13.Why does the author do his own cooking now? A. He wants to lose weight. B. He has got lots of free time on his hands. C. He no longer feels tired after work. D. He wants to eat more healthfully. 正确答案：D题目解析：细节题。从第三段倒数第三句“Ive also started to eat more healthfully.”（我也已经开始了更健康的饮食）可以得出，“他想要更健康的饮食”所以正确答案为D。14.What is the main difference the job change brought to the author? A. He works fewer hours a week. B. He does not have to work on weekends. C. He can change his schedule as he likes. D. He can work at night and sleep late. 正确答案：C题目解析：细节题。第二段都是在说作息时间表的变化和灵活多变，所以可以看出C“他能按他的喜好安排作息时间。”是正确的，正确答案为C。15.Why did the author decide to become a freelance writer? A. He had always liked writing. B. He was dissatisfied with his company C. He never liked his job as a manager. D. He wanted to change his lifestyle. 正确答案：A题目解析：细节题。A“他喜欢写作”B“他不满意现在的公司”C“作为管理者他从来没有喜欢过他的工作”D“他想要改变他的生活方式”，从第一段“Id always wanted to do become a freelance (自由撰稿的) writer.”（我总是想去做成为一个自由撰稿作家）可以看出，B、C、D和原文意思相违背，所以只有A“他总是喜欢写作”正确。_Passage About 35% of all high school graduates in America continue their education in an institution of higher learning. The word college is used to refer to either a college or a university. These institutions offer four-year programs that lead to a Bachelor of Arts (B A) or Bachelor of Science (B S) degree. Some students attend a junior college (providing only a two-year program) for one or two years before entering a four-year college as a sophomore (二年级学生) or junior (三年级学生). .It is generally easier to be accepted at a state university than at a private one. Most private schools require strict entrance examinations and a high grade point average (GPA), as well as specific college prep classes in high school. Private schools cost considerably more than state colleges and famous private schools are very expensive. Poorer students can sometimes attend, however, by earning scholarships. Some college graduates go on to earn advanced masters or doctoral degrees in grad (graduate) school. Occupations in certain fields such as law or medicine require such advanced studies;Since college costs are very high，most students work at part-time jobs. Some have fulltime jobs and go to school part-time. Often some will take five or more years to complete a four-year program because of money/job demands on their time.While the college and work demands take up the great part of a students time, most still enjoy social activities. Sports, dances, clubs, movies, and plays are all very popular. However, gathering together for long, philosophical, talks at a favorite meeting place on or near the university is probably the most popular activities.16.The best title for this passage is _ A. Part-time jobs B. American college C. Popular activities D. A new system 正确答案：B题目解析：综合题，整篇文章都在围绕“美国的大学”而讲述，例如：学生的勤工俭学、课余生活、私立大学的入学考试等，所以只有B最全面地概括了文章，正确答案为B。17.The American college students like to _ most of all. A. discuss problems on philosophy B. play balls C. earn enough money D. go to the cinemas or theatres 正确答案：A题目解析：细节题。从最后一段最后一句话“philosophical, talks at a favorite meeting place on or near the university is probably the most popular activities”可以看出美国大学生最喜欢讨论哲学上的问题，所以正确答案为A。18.How can poor students attend private schools? A. Only by working at part-time jobs. B. Only by working at full-time jobs. C. Only by earning scholarships. D. All of above. 正确答案：D题目解析：细节题。从文章第二段倒数第三句“Poorer students can sometimes attend, however, by earning scholarships.”还有第三段“Since college costs are very high，most students work at part-time jobs. Some have fulltime jobs and go to school part-time.”可以看出A“通过兼职工作”B“通过全职工作”C“通过得奖学金”在文中都有出现，所以正确答案为D以上都正确。19.Which of the following is NOT required for entering most private schools? A. Entrance examinations. B. Taking part in many activities. C. GPA. D. College prep classes. 正确答案：B题目解析：细节题。从文章第二段第二句话“Most private schools require strict entrance examinations and a high grade point average (GPA) as well as specific college prep classes in high school”可以看出只有A、C、D都有提到，所以正确答案为B“参加许多活动”。20.College education is _ in America. A. quite common B. very rare C. something difficult D. almost impossible 正确答案：A题目解析：细节推理题。从第一段“About 35% of all high school graduates in America continue their education in an institution of higher learning.”可以看出“大学教育在美国是十分普遍的。”所以正确答案为A_Passage During Paleolithic times man became man by learning to speak, to make tools and to use fire. This gave him an enormous advantage over other animals about him. Yet in one fundamental respect he remained alike to them. He was still a hunter among other hunters. He was still a food gatherer as were countless other species that were completely dependent on the bounty of nature. And being dependent on the nature, he was dominated by nature. He had to be constantly on the move in order to follow animals and to locate fishing grounds. He had to live in small groups because not many could find enough food to support themselves in a given area if he lived alone. It is estimated that even in fertile areas with a mild winter, only one or two food collectors could support themselves per square mile. And twenty or even thirty square miles were needed for each human soul in regions of cold climate, tropical jungle or desert.Such dependence on nature left its mark on all aspects of human society. But this dependence was greatly reduced when man made the epochal discovery that he could feed himself by growing his food as well as by gathering it. In doing so a new world with a bright future opened before him, as he left behind him the Paleolithic stage of his development and entered the Neolithic. 21.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. The development of agriculture contributed a lot in the history of human beings B. The development of agriculture was helpful for human language ability C.

A. gathering food B. moving to follow other animals C. living in small groups D. growing plants as food 正确答案：D题目解析：解析：由句子when man made the epochal discovery that he could feed himself by growing his food as well as by gathering it可以看出当人类自己能生产食物喂养自己时就表示进入新石器时代了，正确答案选D24.A man who lived alone in Paleolithic times _. A. could gather enough food for himself B. could support himself quite easily C. would hardly survive the hard natural conditions D. neednt move a lot for food 正确答案：C题目解析：解析：在旧石器时代And being dependent on the nature, he was dominated by nature，人们受大自然控制，也就是说人很难在艰苦的自然环境下生存，正确答案选C25.Which of the following is not the advantage of man in Paleolithic times?
