looking forward to nice weather and long, hot days. all of winter, with its cloudy days and bitter cold, we dream of those endless days at the beach, lying on the sand and enjoying the bright and burning sun. and then, summer comes, and it rains. as a child, i would wake up to rainy summer days and come close to crying. it wasnt fair. we suffered through months of school and experienced bad weather for those short ten weeks of freedom and pleasant weather. on those rainy summer days, i had nothing fun to do and could only sit inside, staring out at the rain like a bird in a cage. i was an only child, so there was no one else to play with. my father worked from home, so i was not truly alone, but he could not actively play with me since he was at work. it was those days that i would watch whatever was on television or read any books that i could find lying around. id drag through the day and pray each night that the rain would not be there the next day. as an adult, though, my opinion of summer rain has changed. when you have to work every day, summer is not as exciting. everything seems dull. such a mindset makes you cheer for anything new or different. i spend the winter dreaming of summer and the summer dreaming of winter. when summer comes, i hate how hot it is. and then i look forward to the rain, because the rain brings with it a cold front, which makes me comfortable. rainy days are still the worst days of the summer, but summer rain today means positively beautiful and considerably cooler weather tomorrow.21.when the author was a child, he _. a. hated rainy days b. liked staying indoorsc. preferred cooler weather d. dreamed on summer days22. we can learn from the passage that the author _. a. was often left alone at home b. had no brothers or sistersc. preferred reading to playing outside d. could enjoy the brilliant sun in winter23. as an adult, the author views summer rain differently because _. a. he knows it wont last long b. his summer holiday is very shortc. rain makes the weather cooler d. he can better deal with his holidayb all of us have read thrilling stories in which the hero had only a limited and specified time to live. sometimes it was as long as a year; sometimes as short as twenty-four hours, but always we were interested in discovering just how the doomed man chose to spend his last days or his last hours.such stories set up thinking, wondering what we should do under similar circumstances. what happiness should we find in reviewing the past, what regrets?sometimes, i have thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow. such an attitude would emphasize sharply the values of life. we should live each day with a gentleness, a vigor, and a keenness of appreciation which are often lost when time stretches before us in the constant repetition of more days and months and years to come.most of us take life for granted. we know that one day we must die, but usually we picture that day as far in the future, when we are in pleasant health, death is all but unimaginable. we seldom think of it. the days stretch out in an endless prospect. so we go about our little task, hardly aware of our listless attitude towards life.the same attitude, i am afraid, falls on the use of our abilities and senses. only the deaf appreciate hearing, only the blind realize the various blessings that lie in sight. particularly does this observation apply to those who have lost sight and hearing in adult life. but those who have never suffered loss of sight of hearing seldom make the fullest use of these blessed abilities. their eyes and ears take in all sights and sound hazily, without concentration, and with little appreciation. seldom do people realize how good it is being in good health until they have fallen ill. it is the same old story of not being grateful without missing. 24. when reading the thrilling stories, we usually _. a. have curiosity about the heros limited life b. show great interest in our own livesc. find many regrets in reviewing the past d. have mercy on the doomed man25. from the passage, we can learn that _. a. the author thinks it would be excellent to live if he should die the next dayb. the disabled are anxious to regain their abilities and sensesc. each of us should treasure what we have possessed todayd. many of us are able to make full use of our time26. the underlined word “hazily” in the last paragraph probably means _. a. happilyb. unclearly c. freely d. enthusiastically27. the best title for this passage may probably be _.a. not being grateful without missing b. giving a hand to the disabled c. making use of abilities and senses d. learning from thrilling storiesc you put a great deal of effort into reaching the college of your choice. it s time to get started. but what s next? beginning college can be an exciting but awkward time. follow these tips to adjust to your new life rapidly and make the most of your college experience. to save time and money, use the college s bus system. taking the bus to school is quick, easy and free in most college towns. you won t have to locate or afford a place to park either. it s also a good way to be environmentally aware. save pennies on books by waiting until class starts. you might not even need all of the recommended books. new textbooks cost an arm and a leg. try buying used textbooks it s a surefire way to save money and serves the purpose as well. do never look at college life as an endless series of parties and social activities. but there is a whole lot more to college if youre serious about graduating. having a good college experience is all about balancing work and fun. be mindful of your diet. make healthy food choices and watch what you eat. avoid foods that are processed or high in sugar. the “freshman 15”is real. many college students gain at least 15 pounds during their freshmen year. while electives（选修课）can be helpful when figuring out your major, you shouldnt entirely rely on them. clubs and other organizations exist around. get involved. make sure, though, that you still have time to study. having too much on your plate can hurt your grades.28. which of the following ideas can be financially wise?a. driving your own car. b. renting an apartment.c. buying used books. d. attending activities.29. in the text, freshmen are repeatedly warned against _. a. academic failures b. physical problems c. traffic accidents d. social activities30. the “freshman 15”tells the fact that some freshmen _.a. take relaxed attitudes to their diets b. have little regular physical exercisec. focus less on their academic work d. attend limited activities on campus31. the underlined phrase“ having too much on your plate” probably refers to _.a. using too much money for mealsb. taking part in too many after-class activitiesc. eating too many unhealthy foodsd. taking an elective that has too many studentsd in america, parents tend to encourage their children to develop their potential (潜能) to the fullest extent. fathers and mothers frequently teach their children both ambition and the confidence necessary to work toward their goals. american parents are always active in concentrating on what their kids can do, not what they cant. as a result, millions of american boys and girls grow up hoping to become actors and athletes, diplomats and doctors. many of them even want to become president. american parents often encourage their children to become involved in extra activities of all types at school, such as student government, sports and music. they believe that only through taking part in these activities can their children become mature young adults. as we all know, schoolwork is important. but parents should realize that the social skills their children learn form natural conversations with each other are as important as schoolwork and the skills they will need in the future work. whats more important in their work is that their children should have a sound knowledge of physics or the ability to communicate effectively.as a rule, chinese parents dont educate their children about the same kind of ambition and confidence as americans do, nor do they encourage the same level of participation in extra activities. children are typically advised to study hard and pass exams. they have to spend a lot of time in doing much schoolwork every day. it is a great waste of time to do so. now more and more chinese parents have recognized that they should pay attention to developing the potential of their children. i hope that leaders in chinese educational circles should take some measures to develop the potential of their children. i am very confident about it. 32. from the passage, we know the american parents pay much more attention to _.a. the social skills than chinese parents b. their childrens studying hard and wellc. what their children want but they cant d. extra activities than schoolwork33. according to the passage, chinese parents _.a. know more than american parents to educate their childrenb. owning ambition and confidence is necessary and importantc. pay much more attention to their childrens fine futured. dont encourage their children to participate in extra activities34. from the passage, we can infer _.a. american children are brave and adventurousb. american children are more active in their studiesc. chinese children have the ability to communicate effectivelyd. something should be done to develop the potential of the children in china35. whats the writers attitude towards chinese education reform?a. neutral.b. indifferent.c. positive.d. negative.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。the winners guide to success do you know what makes people successful? to find out the answers, an american reporter recently visited some of the most successful people around the world. 36 be responsible for yourself. sometimes you may want to blame others for your failure to get ahead. in fact, when you say someone or something apart from yourself is stopping you from making success, youre giving away your own power. 37 write a plan. it is very difficult to try to get what you want without a good plan. it is just like trying to drive through strange roads to a city far away. 38 without this map, you may
