arizona. i chose to attend a school so far from home because my dad went here when he was my age, and my older sister is presently a senior here.the weather is so different here from that in chicago. if i were in chicago right now, i would be freezing cold. here in tucson, the weather is so nice. it is always sunny with blue skies and the scenery is beautiful. from campus, you can look anywhere and see the beautiful mountains in the skyline.i live in the only dorm here that has three students in a room. the rooms are a lot bigger than i thought they would be. one of my roommates is from new jersey and the other one is all the way from south korea. my roommate from new jersey and i have become really good friends. our other roommate is kind of mean(卑鄙的) to us, so there is always awkward（尴尬的） tension in our room, which isnt too fun, but i am always so busy with my study that it doesnt matter too much.i am taking 5 classes here- english, spanish, and three general education classes. the general education classes are the big lecture classes. i am not too fond of them, because i come from a very small high school. for the most part, though, i love my classes. i am a political science major. i want to attend law school after i graduate and eventually work for the cia.as much as i miss my parents being this far from home, i love living here. it helps that i get to see my sister almost every day. i couldnt have chosen a better college for myself. 61. the writer chose to attend the university of arizona because _. a. it is one of the best colleges in americab. it lies in the city near her home c. she had been refused by other collegesd. her family was associated with the college62. how is the weather in tucson different from that in chicago? a. it is warmer. b. it rains more. c. it is more changeable.d. it is less friendly.63. the writers roommate from south korea _. a. has become the writers best friendb. tries hard to be fun and friendly c. doesnt get along well with the writerd. is busy with her study all the time. 64. the writer majors in _. a. englishb. spanish c. general educationd. political science65. the passage is written mainly to _. a. show the writers independenceb. introduce the writers college c. show how to apply for the schoold. persuade people to study abroad bthere are two ways to save money when traveling. the first way is to get the best deals on the specific things you want. there is a limitation to this type of approach though. if you find the lowest price on the best hotel in honolulu at the height of the season, you will save money, but still have a very expensive vacation. trying to get exactly what you want will generally be an expensive proposition, in travel and in life.the other approach is to be a true opportunist. this will be difficult for some of you, and entirely unacceptable to others. even so，the travelers who get to travel the most, go to the widest variety of places, learn the most and do the most, are the opportunists. this will be true until you are so wealthy that you have no monetary (货币的；钱的)limits. zthe first time i went to ecuador, i went there because it was cheap. if it wasnt, i would have had a great timesomewhere else. the trip lasted a month, and cost $1045, which included airfare and even the $130 fee for a guide to take me to the top or glacier (冰川) covered mount chimborazo. i cut the cost by taking a bus from my home in michigan to miami, and back again when i returned from ecuador. the round-trip ticket cost $158. the round-trip flight to quito from miami was only $256, because it was a courier (信使，通讯员) flight, which meant i signed for some luggage(car parts), and could only take carry-on luggage.never did i feel deprived, or bored. i had a great time, eating wherever it was cheap and clean, doing all sorts of inexpensive, but interesting things, and traveling across the country to climb chimborazo. i also met and fell in love with my wife ana.being an opportunist means youll have just as much variety, and probably almost everything you wanteventually. you just have to stop trying to get exactly what you want exactly when you want it. if the guide that took me up chimborazo hadnt dropped his price from $200 to $130, i would have spent $2 for a bus and gone hiking on ei altar, another great andean mountain. that would have left me with enough money for several other minor adventures.66. the underlined phrase “the best deals” in the first paragraph probably refers to _.a.the lowest price b. the best servicec. the cheapest goodsd. the best approaches67. its suggested that the author _.a.went hiking on el altarb.traveled with his wife in ecuadorc.likes traveling around the worldd. is an opportunist traveler68. which of the following can serve as the best title of the passage?a.travel secretsb. cheap travel secretsc. a travel opportunistd. travel tipscwomen nowadays do not just want to work to help meet the rising costs of living and education for their childrenthey also want a career that will enable them to bring out their skills and use their potentials so that they can experience a sense of fulfillment and pride that come from achievements and successsome careers that have been traditionally dominated （支配） by the male species have been made open and filled up by women as wellit is no longer a surprising occurrence today to see many women working as pilots, astronauts, engineers, in construction sites, and in the printing business that operates high-tech machinesmany women are also taking their chances on managerial and executive positions that mostly men are the ones sitting onmany of them also do well in the line of education as teachers, deans and even presidents of universitiesyou can also see many women as lecturers and reviewers of different businessesone example is that of the online printing company reviews where women usually have a say on what is the best choice for online printers for any marketing needsfrom the income that women are getting from their work, they are able to maintain a family and able to provide a better education for their children and able to enjoy a comfortable lifestylehowever, there are still pronounced biases （偏见） against women in high leadership positionsthere still exists the so-called gender-role stereotypingwomen need help to cope with and manage the typical stereotyping of women workers and managersthose who look for jobs advertised in the classified sections of the newspaper often discover that many corporate positions are closed to womenand most often than not, many give preference to men by indicating in their ads phrases such as male preferred or male applicants only even in some family run or owned corporations, seldom can you see women managers and presidentssurveys show that although a man and a woman have the same level or handle the same position in an organization, the man would get a higher or bigger compensation package （薪酬） compared to womenbecause of this, many women are just contented to be in lower positions in finance, humanresources, sales, manufacturing and other supportive rolesthere are still other barriers that prevent women from reaching their full potentials in the world of employmentour culture does not encourage women to excel in government and in business-related jobswomen who are able to make it on top and handle leadership roles are sometimes regarded merely as tokensthe abilities and skills of women are normally questioned by their own peers, and sadly even by other womenif you are a woman who have the interest, ability and drive to pursue management careers, career counseling is of great help to help you find direction and increase motivation to pursue your career goalsit will help you have the self-confidence to get you in the same career opportunities open to men in this society that still prefers men for top level positions69from the first paragraph we know that women_awork mainly to help meet the rising costs of livingbwant to provide their children with better educationchave taken up some work that men cannot do welldalso want to take some more challenging jobs70what s the author s attitude towards women s taking managerial positions?adissatisfied b supporti
