Cala de Algaiarens, Minorca With soft golden sand and clear water, this beach is perfect for snorkeling(浅滩潜水)and visiting underwater cavesThe beach belongs to a local man，so tourists have to pay a small entry feeThe waves here can sometimes be huge so the place isnt safe for kids.

DThe waves are huge and dangerousB It feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation, it turns into an argument. We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into World War III. Shell talk about my lack of a bright future because I dont plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment, I dont want to do any job related to science, either. In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major(主修) in English and communications, she nearly had a heart attack. “Why cant you be like my co-workers son?” she bemoans all the time. Her co-workers son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I dont know what to answer except that I simply cant be like Mr. Perfect as Ive called the unnamed co-workers son. I cant be like him. Im the type of person who loves to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, I want to achieve a career because I love it, not because of fame (名声) or salary. I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. Ive seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 am and usually comes home around 5 pm or even 6 pm. However, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesnt mean Ill be successful. Id rather follow my dreams and create my own future.24. Which of the following topics do the writer and his mother often talk about? A. The writers studies. B. The writers future job C.

A. doesnt want the writer to major in English B. doesnt think the writer should be a doctor C. gets along very well with the writer D. doesnt think working in the science field is a good idea26. The underlined word“bemoans”in Paragraph 2 most probably means _. A. agrees B. laughs C. complains D. scolds27. Which of following statements is probable TRUE about the writer? A. He wants to be like his mothers co-workers son. B. He wants to find a job in his community in the future. C. He doesnt think his mothers co-workers son is perfect D. He wants to do something he really likes in the future.C Is there anything more important than health? I dont think so. “Health is the greatest wealth(财富),” wise people say. You cant be good at your studies or work well when you are ill.If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think you should go to the doctor.The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. After that he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.Speaking about doctors advice, I cant help telling you a funny story.An old gentleman came to see the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease.He told his patients to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldnt smoke more than one cigarette a day.A month later the gentleman came to the doctors office. He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.“But you know, doctor,” he said, “its not easy to begin smoking at my age.”28. The writer thinks that .A. health is the greatest wealth B. work is as important as studiesC. medicine is more important than pleasure D. nothing is more important than pleasure29. The doctor usually tells his patient what to do .A. without examining the patient B. after he has examined the patientC. if the patient doesnt take medicine D. unless the patient feels pain30. The underlined part means “ ”.A. he was feeling better than ever B. he wasnt a healthier manC. he was feeling worse than before D. he will be well again31. From the last sentence of the passage, we learn the man before the doctor told him not to smoke more than one cigarette a day.A. was a heavy smoker B. didnt smoke so much C.didnt smoke D.began to learn to smoke DFor such a long time, college years are generally considered to be a stage of life for individual growth in self decision and adult identity. However, now they are becoming an extended（延伸的） period of adolescence, during which many of todays students are not shouldered with adult responsibilities.For previous generations, college was decisive break from parental control; guidance and support need to come from people of the same age and from within. In the past two decades, however, continued connection with and dependence on family, because of cellphones, email and social media, have increased significantly. Some parents go so far as to help with coursework. Instead of promoting the idea of college as a passage from the shelter of the family to autonomy (自主权）and adult responsibility, universities have given in to the idea that they should provide the same environment as that of the home.To prepare for increased autonomy and responsibility, college needs to be a time of exploration and experimentation. This process involves “trying on” new ways of personally. Though we should provide students “safe spaces” , we must also make it safe to express opinions and experience challenges.Learning to deal with the social world is equally important. Because a college world differs from the family, many students will struggle to find a sense of belonging. If students rely on administrators to regulate their social behavior and thinking pattern, they are missing the challenge of finding an identity within a larger and complex world.Moreover, the tendency for universities to monitor and shape student behavior runs up against another characteristic(特点） of young adults: the response to being controlled by their elders.It is not surprising that young people are likely to burst out. What is lacking today is the conflict between adolescents, desire for autonomy and their understanding of an unsafe world. Therefore, there is the desire for their dorms to be replacement homes and not places to experience intellectual growth.32.What is the authors attitude toward those parents who help with coursework?A. Supportive. B. Critical. C. Positive. D. Unclear.33.What is the main idea of Paragraphs 3-5?A. How to be a top student in college.B. How to turn a college dorm into a family setting.C. How to develop a sense of belonging in college.D. How to foster students autonomy, identity and responsibility.34.According to the text, who is not the one responsible for the current worrying situation of college students?A. Administrators. B. Parents. C. Universities. D. Students.35.Which of the following would the author most probably agree with?A. Todays colleges arent qualified in cultivating students intellectual ability.B. Cellphones, email and social media play a constructive role in building up students autonomy.C. Colleges should provide opportunities for students to express opinions and experience challenges.D. College students feel confused about their desire to be independent and misunderstand an unsafe world第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Everybody in the world is different from one another.
