breakfast I had to have cereal 谷类 eggs and toast Others had cakes and candy for lunch while we had to eat a sandwich As you can guess my supper was different from the other kids But at least I was not alone in my suffering My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did My mother insisted on knowing where we were at all times She had to know who our friends were and what we were doing We had to wear clean clothes every day Other kids always wore their clothes for days We reached the height of disgrace 耻辱 because she made our clothes herself just to save money The worst is yet to come We had to be in bed by 9 00 each night and up at 7 45 the next morning So while my friends slept my mother actually had the courage to break Child Labor Law She made us work I believed she lay awake all night thinking up mean things to do to us Through the years our friends report Cards 成绩报告单 had beautiful colors on them black for passing red for failing My mother however would only be satisfied with black marks None of us was allowed the pleasure of being a dropout 辍学者 She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults Using this as a background I m now trying to bring up my three children I m filled with pride when my children think I am mean because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the world 56 From the passage we can learn that the writer s mother was A not generous at all B very cruel to her children C very mean with money matters D very strict with her children 5 57 Which of the following things did the writer hate to do most A Eating differently from other kids B Letting mother know where they were C Going to bed early and getting up early D Wearing clean clothes made by mother 58 It can be inferred from the passage that A the

in running her home D The writer is strict with her children when bringing them up 60 The passage was written in a way of tone A humorous B hateful C ridiculous D impatient B The fact that blind people can see things using parts of their bodies apart from their eyes may help us to understand our feelings about color If they can sense color differences then perhaps we too are affected by color without knowing it Salesmen have discovered by experience over a long period of time that sugar sells badly in green wrappings that blue foods are considered not agreeable to the taste and that cosmetics 化妆品 should never be packed in brown These discoveries have grown into a whole subject of color psychology Some of our preferences are clearly psychological Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore connected with calm while yellow is a day color connected with energy and encouragement Experiments have shown that colors partly because they are connected with psychology also have a direct effect on people s mind People in bright red surroundings show an increase in breathing speed heartbeat and blood pressure Red is exciting Pure blue has exactly the opposite effect it is a calming color Being exciting red was chosen as the signal for danger but a closer study shows that a bright yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm so fire engines in some advanced areas are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop buses trucks and cars 61 The passage tells us that salesmen have A tried colors on blind people B found out that colors affect sales C developed a special subject of color psychology D discovered the relationship between color and psychology 62 It can be inferred from the passage that A blind people cannot sense color differences B foods sell well in green or blue wrappings C w hat color we prefer depends on our state of mind D a bright color has exactly the opposite effect to red 6 63 The most effective color in the passage for warning people is A red B dark blue C green D bright yellow 64 If someone is in an angry mood which color is better for him to become quiet A Red B Dark blue C Brown D Bright yellow 65 Which of the following do you think is the best title for the passage A Colors and Feelings B Colors and Sales C The Blind and Colors D Preferences for Colors C C The UK has a well respected higher education

calendar Universities have something called Freshers Week 新生周 for their newcomers It s a great opportunity to make new friends join lots of clubs and settle into university life However having just left the comfort of home and all your friends behind the outlook of meeting lots of strangers in big halls can be nerve wracking 令 人头痛的 Where do you start Who should you make friends with Which clubs should you join Luckily there will be thousands of others in the same boat as you worrying about starting their university social life on the right foot 顺利 以非常幸运方 式 So just take it all in slowly Don t rush into anything that you ll regret for the next three years Here are some top advice from past students on how to survive Freshers Week Learn rules Make sure you know British social manners Have a few wine glasses and snacks handy for your housemates and friends Be kind Sometimes cups of tea or even slices of toast can give you a head start in making friends Be sociable The more active you are
