Yours truly, JennaPartReading Comprehension(30 marks)Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage. A “Confidence”is probably one of the most noticeable traits(品质)in the Americans. They show confidence in the way they talk, the way they smile, the way they dress and the way they walk. Living and competing with all these confident American students, I find it extremely important to be confident as an international student and instructor. As a student, being confident means you should never hesitate to raise your hand whenever a question or a point comes to your mind. Dont mind if it sounds simple or silly. Otherwise you will never get a chance to speak in class at all. Whats worse, the professors may think you are not prepared for the discussion or you do not have your own opinion on the issue-this is the last comment any graduate would like to receive. Being confident for me as a foreign instructor means calmly asking the student to repeat what he or she has said if I did not get it. Pretending to understand what you actually did not may just bring yourself embarrassment or even disgrace. But the time I most need to be confident is when my students come to my office and bargain about the grades I have given for their speeches(The course Im teaching here is Public Speaking). Modesty is a trait highly valued in China, but it wont be of much help here if you want to survive and succeed in a good American graduate program. 56. To compete with American students its very important to. A. be quite confidentB. be polite and friendlyC. have more discussionsD. understand what they think about57. A professor will have the worst opinion of a student who. A. gives a silly or simple answerB. tries to seize any chance to speak in classC. shows no interest in the courseD. is considered to have no opinion of his own58. The author is most likely to feel embarrassed if. A. he asks a student to repeat what he has saidB. the students bargain with himC. he pretends to know what he actually doesntD. he has to give a speech59. We learn from the second paragraph that. A. we should also remain modest in AmericaB. modesty doesnt help in AmericaC. Americans also like modest peopleD. modesty can help you through an American graduate program60. The passage is mainly developed by. A. providing examplesB. making comparisonsC. giving different figuresD. telling a personal experienceBYoull go to college some day and college is one of the most exciting phases of ones life. If you wish to make the most of your campus experience and become a better person after those four years, then first you ought to make friends because close friends contribute to our self-growth for they provide us with the moral support that is so important to surviving the stressful life of college. Friends can lend a helping hand when necessary like collecting your homework when youre too sick to leave your dorm, and help you cultivate the right attitude by pointing out to you your flaws and weak points. Being home most of your life and then suddenly finding yourself on your own in a large campus without your parents to hold your hand can be annoying. However, rather than dwelling(细想)on your missing home too long, why not see this new phase in your life as an opportunity for self-growth and developing the right attitude that will prepare you for the rigors of post-graduation life, particularly when you join the workforce? Special-interest clubs or organizations are great for self-growth. Here, not only do you get the opportunity to meet with like-minded people, you can also discover more things about your field of interest. Club meetings usually include lively discussions, so go in there with the right attitude. But you should try to build a good name in the organization by being respectful, active and considerate to others. Show your respect for your professors. You might not like all of them, but your professors are there to provide knowledge you need to be successful in your chosen field. Thus, show up for each class with the right attitude and determination to learn. Whether you get along well with your professors or not has a huge impact on your self-growth as they are a measure of how well you can respect authority and obey requirements. Be active in class. Actively participating in a class debate or lecture contributes to your self-growth as it helps you build confidence in speaking up and improves your communication skills. It also helps you cultivate the right attitude by exercising diplomacy(外交)when you choose your words carefully especially when discussing a very politically sensitive issue and exercising patience when dealing with classmates who shoot down your ideas. 61. The purpose of the passage is to. A. introduce how to spend college life meaningfullyB. tell college students how to socialize with othersC. provide some self-growth tips for college studentsD. explain the importance of four-year college life62. We can know from the passage that. A. the good teacher-student relationship is good for a students growthB. a college student can always avoid stress by making close friendsC. staying in college is always interesting because it makes you learn a lotD. friends can be your good listeners when you express your feelings63. According to the passage, college students should do many things EXCEPT. A. being respectful and considerate when discussing at a club meetingB. taking an active part in a class debate to be better at communicatingC. trying not to be absent from class to show respect for the teachersD. forgetting the family in order to get accustomed to college life soon64. The underlined word“rigors”in Paragraph 2 can be replaced with“”. A. realitiesB. difficultiesC. joysD. effects65. In the writers opinion, how can college students develop a positive attitude? A. By joining special-interest clubs. B. By focusing on their studies. C. By taking up a part-time job. D. By making friends with others. CDo you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self-respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized(把归类)as“honor”help you create this life of good feelings. Here is an example to show how honorable actions create happiness. Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerks mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky(卑鄙的)excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul. Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness? In the first case, where we dont tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. We would also demonstrate(表露)that we cannot be trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing the error to the clerks attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased. Whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility. There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And its easy to think and act honorably again when were happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once its started, its easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness. 66. According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our. A. self-respectB. financial rewardsC. advertising abil
