Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.Research shows that the average high school student will study four hours per week for any major test. The outcome of this four hours of study varies from an A to an F, which means that in high school grades are strongly determined by intelligence since everyone studies the same amount of time.But college is different. Most of the students are highly intelligent and each has plenty of time for self-study. To score high on any test, a college student has to work hard and, probably more importantly, know how to use his or her time most efficiently. The problem is that your study habits formed in high school may make you unable to study well in college because you have never experienced what it takes to perform at the college level. That is why the freshman year is the hardest year for all college students.Based on my extensive observation of student performances on college tests, I recommend the following study time per test: 6 hours per week for an A, 4 hours for a B, 3.5 hours for a C, 2.5 hours for a D and 0 hours for an F. An hour of study is defined as studying for 45 minutes and a break of 15 minutes. Ten hours of continuous study without a break is defined as one hour of study. The brain does not process and store information the way students prefer studying. Occasionally, some succeed by studying at the last minute, but they are exceptions to the rule.Research also suggests that the slowest 10 percent of the students may need 5 to 6 times as much time to learn the same material as the fastest 10 percent. Each person is very likely to have strengths and weaknesses. Overcoming your weakness increases your strength.56. According to the writer, the reason why high school students get different test results is that _.A. some students have good study habits while others do not B. some students work harder than the rest of themC. their intelligence varies from person to personD. their teachers teach them in different ways57. The freshman year is considered the hardest for all college students because _.A. they feel worried among so many intelligent peopleB. they are too anxious to score high on all testsC. they dont know yet how to study at the college levelD. they have to take a lot of courses at the same time 58. In order to study efficiently, the writer suggests that one should _.A. spend 10% of his time on the most difficult subjectsB. set aside 1/4 of the studying time for breakC. take a one-hour rest after 10 hours of studyD. study 6 hours and then take a good rest 59. What takes the fastest students to learn in one hour may take the slowest students _.A. 3 hoursB. 2 hoursC. 4 hoursD. 5 hours60. From the way this passage is written, it can be concluded that the writer is most probably _.A. a high school teacherB. a college studentC. a high school studentD. a college teacherPassage 2Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.A soap is a popular television drama serial（连续剧）about the daily lives and problems of a group of people. The stories make viewers laugh, cry and wait to see what happens next. Thus, viewers would come.For some soap fans, it is like the end of the world when “Another World” ends after 35-year run. Thats because soaps these days cant satisfy devoted viewers. Altogether, daily viewers have decreased from 69.6 million to 48.8 million since 1991. For instance, ABCs “All My Children” drew 8.3 million in 1991, now 4.5 million.One reason is that soaps are difficult in an era marked by various electronic games. Girls who used to watch daytime dramas with their mothers now go to their rooms where they can watch cable on their own TV set, or play video games, or wander on the Internet. Besides, the audience was too old, at 47 on average. TV stations have to get the right viewers because women, from 18 to 49, have the income to buy the things pushed by advertisers. Its gotten to the point where its financially driven.But networks arent about to drop soaps, as long as advertisers like them so much. Its very efficient and cheap to spread heavily a number of ads. On the other hand, theres not much to replace them. Talk and other shows have a bad record, and they dont reach a concentrated female audience. The channels believe that they will attract younger viewers, the next generation of soap watchers, by starring new characters and putting in fresh blood into plot（情节）lines. Theres no secret. People want a good story.61. What is NOT true about “Another World”? A. It is a TV series.B. It has been on for 35 years.C. Some viewers feel sorry for the end of their favorite TV series.D. Its producers have been threatened for stopping it.62. Soaps have lost _ daily viewers since 1991.A. less than 20,00,000B. 20,000,000C. over 20,000,000D. over 2,000,00063. The soap industry has to work harder to attract the audience for the following reasons except that _.A. advertisers and faithful viewers need itB. other TV shows are much better and going to beat the soapC. there are various means of enjoymentD. the young generation dont like soaps64. What does the author mean by “putting in fresh blood into the plot lines”?A. To add violence to the story.B. To create attractive events which make up the story.C. To add some new words to the story.D. To make the story look real.65. The main idea of the passage is about _.A. the present condition and prospect of soapsB. soaps decline in viewersC. profits brought by soaps through advertisementsD. a brief history of soaps developmentPassage 3Questions 66 to 70 are based on the following passage.My grandson, Daniel, and I have always been very close. When Daniels father remarried after a divorce, Daniel, who was eleven, and his little sister, Kristie, came to live with us. My husband and I were more than happy to have kids in the house again. Things were going along just fine until the diabetes( 糖尿病) Ive lived with most of my adult life started affecting my eyes. And then more seriously, my kidney(肾), Then everything seemed to fall apart. Three times a week, I had to go to the hospital to be hooked up to a dialysis machine (透析机.). I was living, but I couldnt really call it a life - it was an existence. I had no energy. I dragged myself through my daily chores (家庭杂事) and slept as much as I could, My sense of humor seemed to disappear. Daniel, seventeen by then, was really affected by the change in me. He tried as hard as he could to make me laugh, to bring back the grandma who loved to clown around(开玩笑) with him. Even in my sorry state, Daniel could still bring a smile to my face. But things were not improving. After a year on dialysis, My condition was deteriorating(恶化) and the doctors felt that if I didnt receive a kidney transplant within six months, I would surely die. Ne one told Daniel this, but he knew - he said all he had to do was rock after me, To top it off (更糟糕的是), as my condition worsened, there was a chance I would become too weak to have the transplant surgery at all, and then there would be nothing they could do for me. So we started the tense and desperate wait for a kidney. I was adamant（坚决的) that I didnt want a kidney from anyone I knew. I would wait until an appropriate kidney became available, or I would literally die waiting. But Daniel had other plans. The time that he took me to my dialysis appointments, he did a little secret research on his own. Then he announced his intentions to me. Grandma, Im giving you one of my kidneys. Im young and Im healthy. He paused. He could see I wasnt at all happy with his offer. He continued, almost in whisper, And most of all, I couldnt stand it if you werent around. His face wore an expression of appeal mixed with determination. He can be as stubborn as a mule(像骡子一样固执) once he decides on something - but Ive been told many times that I can out-stubborn any mule! We argued. I couldnt let him do it. We both knew that if he gave up his kidney, hed also give up his lifes dream: to play football. That boy ate, drank and slept football. It was all he ever talked about. And he was good, too. Daniel was co-captain and star defensive tackle( 防守阻截队员 ) of his high school team; he expected to apply for a football scholarship and was looking forward to playing
