The nostalgia, though, results from the thought of leaving this family and moving on to a different period of life. The relationships during my four years here are one of the most unforgettable aspects of my life. Yale has allowed me to create friendships with many people that will undoubtedly be brilliant in our future society. Also, I am certain that Yale has offered me the opportunity to learn and share my faith with others. Lastly, the academic education I received here is remarkable. It is such an amazing opportunity to have the dedicated(献身的), cooperative and knowledgeable teachers that are present at our school. It seems like just a few days ago when I took my first steps onto campus, and now we seniors are approaching our final steps. The shyness as a freshman has now transformed into confidence and maturity(成熟). I still remember walking down the halls, admiring the seniors for their calmness and strength. Looking back, I am sure that my experiences within this family were fantastic. I know that my memories of this school, whether they are the sporting events or the dances, will always be present in my life. Thus, it is sad to be aware of the end of the happy four years. Leaving Yale will be difficult after all of the great memories I have gained from attending school here. Anyway, it is exciting to realize that as seniors, we are approaching an entirely new life, an entirely new opportunity. As for you underclassmen(低年级学生), cherish the moments that you spend on this campus, because they can become some of the most memorable times of your lives.91. The underlined word nostalgia in Paragraph 1 probably means .A. excitement about leaving the familyB. thought about the happy time in the pastC. disappointment with the universityD. challenge of a different period of life92. We can know from Paragraph 3 that the writer .A. has become confident and mature in the later semesters in YaleB. likes walking down the campus,admiring those proud seniorsC. is regretful for not cherishing those happy moments on campusD. is unwilling to leave Yale because he misses his friends there93. The passage is probably .A. a report for an important conferenceB. a reminder of those good old daysC. a story about the writers happy timeD. a speech at a graduation ceremonyB I entered high school having read hundreds of books. But I was not a good reader. Merely bookish, I lacked a point of view when I read. Rather, I read in order to get a point of view. I searched books for good expressions and sayings, pieces of information, ideas, themesanything to enrich my thought and make me feel educated. When one of my teachers suggested in his sleepy tenth grade English class that a person could not have a complicated idea until he had read at least two thousand books, I heard the words without recognizing either its irony or its very complicated truth. I merely determined to make a list of all the books I had ever read. Strict with myself, I included only once a title I might have read several times. (How, after all, could one read a book more than once?) And I included only those books over a hundred pages in length. (Could anything shorter be a book?) There was yet another high school list I made. One day I came across a newspaper article about an English professor at a nearby state college. The article had a list of the hundred most important books of Western Civilization. More than anything else in my life, the professor told the reporter with finality, these books have made me all that I am. That was the kind of words I couldnt ignore. I kept the list for the several months it took me to read all of the titles. Most books, of course, I hardly understood. While reading Platos The Republic, for example, I needed to keep looking at the introduction of the book to remind myself what the text was about. However, with the special patience and superstition(迷信) of a schoolboy, I looked at every word of the text. And by the time I reached the last word, pleased, I persuaded myself that I had read The Republic, and seriously crossed Plato off my list.94. On hearing the teachers suggestion of reading, the writer thought .A. one must read as many books as possibleB. a student should not have a complicated ideaC. it was impossible for one to read two thousand booksD. students ought to make a list of the books they had read95. The underlined phrase with finality probably means .A. firmlyB. clearlyC. proudlyD. pleasantly96. The writers purpose in mentioning The Republic is to .A. explain why it was included in the listB. describe why he seriously crossed it off the listC. show that he read the books blindly though they were hard to understandD. prove that he understood most of it because he had looked at every word97. The writer provides two book lists to .A. show how he developed his point of viewB. tell his reading experience at high schoolC. introduce the two persons reading methodsD. explain that he read many books at high schoolC Some children show preferences for friends at an early age. At 9 or 10, children become aware of differences, they begin to form cliques(圈子,派系). At 10 or 12 years of age, as they are separate from parents, identification with peers may become enlarged and cliques may form and change frequently. At middle and high school the issue of belonging becomes even more extraordinary and outstanding. Cliques are small, particular groups of friends who share common characteristics and common interests (music, dress, sports, etc.). Each member is either directly or indirectly connected to other members. Cliques usually refer to groups of girls; however boys are also involved in cliques. There are usually hierarchies(等级) of cliques among teens, from the populars to the losers, and there are often many cliques in schools. Normal adolescent(青少年的) development often circles around cliquesjoining cliques, wanting to join cliques, or being out of cliques. Cliques can have a strong positive effect on self-worth. They provide social occasions and help kids develop a sense of belongin
