Well, its not even really a campus. Its more like a district in a small town.Harvards main buildings are from the 18th century. They look very old and simple. You might even say theyre a little shabby. They dont fit the modern idea of university at all. The buildings are surrounded by grass and trees, so I felt as if I had walked into a medieval（中世纪） castle. But when I looked across the street, busy shops and in-fashion students made me feel like I was in the 21st century again. It creates a strong contrast and brings a special atmosphere to the school.Our tour guide Gary took us around and told us: “You see this grass field in the center of the school? Here is where they host their graduation ceremony. They just set up tents and benches and have a very simple ceremony（典礼）. Unbelievable! Who would think the most talented students just graduate on the lawn（草坪）?”I saw some students put a blanket on the grass and lie down to read a book. When I listened to the soft sound of pages turning, along with singing of the birds, I felt very calm. There was no competitive feeling at all.Harvard has the worlds first computer in its science center and there are hundreds of high-end computers too. Its religion and the literature departments are also among the best. It is the perfect mix of tradition and new technology. It makes Harvard a very attractive place to study in.I hope one day Ill attend my dream schoolHarvard.1. The article is mainly about . A. the authors campus life in HarvardB.

All Harvard buildings date back to the 18th century.BEvery year on my birthday, from the time I turned 12, a white gardenia（栀子花） was delivered to my house. No card came with it. Calls to the flower-shop were not helpful at all. After a while I stopped trying to discover the senders name and just delighted in the beautiful white flower in soft pink paper.But I never stopped imagining who the giver might be. Some of my happiest moments were spent daydreaming about the sender. My mother encouraged these imaginings. Shed ask me if there was someone for whom I had done special kindness. Perhaps it was the old man across the street whose mail Id delivered during the winter. As a girl, though, I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy I had run into.One month before my graduation, my father died. I felt so sad that I became completely uninterested in my upcoming graduation dance, and I didnt care if I had a new dress or not. But my mother, in her own sadness, would not let me miss any of those things. She wanted her children to feel loved and lovable. In truth, my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenia-lovely, strong and perfect with perhaps a bit of mystery(神秘)My mother died ten days after I was married. I was 22. That was the year the gardenia stopped coming.5Which of the following would be the best title for the text?AA childhood Dream. BA Graduation Party.CA Mothers Love.

There is nothing people can do to stop these powerful forces of nature. But new techniques are helping scientists to predict how, when, and where big storms will happen. The more exact scientists warnings are, the better people can prepare for the storms.Predictions are improving. “Weve got better over the years, especially the last few years，” says Phil Klotzbach, a scientist at an American university. How is a storm formed? Even if scientists know where a storm will happen, winds can suddenly change, carrying the storm to a new direction. “For a hurricane to happen, conditions have to be just fight，” Klotzbach says.First, the ocean water needs to be warm enough so that it evaporates and rises into the air. As it rises, the vapor(水蒸气) cools and turns back into liquid. This process gives off heat. This produces energy like an engine that causes winds to increase. It drives the formation of a hurricane.If wind speeds reach 40 miles per hour, the system is called a “tropical storm”， and it gets a name. At 75 miles per hour, it becomes a hurricane.Hurricanes that hit the US start when a thunderstorm forms off the coast of Africa. Storms also develop over tropical waters in other parts of the world.On average, 60 or 70 storms form off Africa every year. About 10 of them get names. There are usually about six hurricanes. Two tend to be very big, with winds of 115 miles per hour or higher.The hurricane season lasts from June to November. Ninety percent of all hurricanes hit in August, September, and October.12Hurricanes usually _.A. form off the coast of Africa and AmericaB. hit parts of the world in summer and autumnC.travel at 40 miles per hour and get its nameD. cause sea winds to rise and blow over the sea13The speed of the biggest two hurricanes reaches about _ per hour.A75 miles B. 95 miles C. 115 miles D. 110 miles14The underlined word “evaporates” probably means _.A.changes into gas B. gets lost C. begins to move D.turns hot 15Which of the following about the information of a hurricane is the CORRECT order?aThe ocean water evaporates and goes into the air.bHeat creates energy and causes winds to increase.cThe vapor cools.dThe ocean water is warm enough.eThe vapor changes back into liquid.fThis course gives out heat.Adabcef B. abcfdeC. adebcf D. dacefb第2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。 In China,because of many reasons, teens have a busy morning schedule as they need to wake up and get moving very early in order to catch a bus and get to school by the required time.
