Classes didnt start until Wednesday, so I had a few days to get adjusted. Im signed up for five classes: zoology, calculus, English, and two history sections. Its a heavy load, but they are all courses that will count for my degree. The zoology class which meets at 8:00 every morning is going to be my hardest subject. The history class that I have in the morning is on Western Civilization; the one in the afternoon is on early United States history, our ancestors life. Calculus which I have at noon every day looks like its going to be easy. Besides zoology, the other class thats going to be hard is English, for you see, we have to do a composition a week.I like all of my classmates but one. There are four of us in our suite including two girls from Texas and a girl from Manitoba. Sally who is from San Antonio is great: I feel like Ive known her all my life. I also really like Anne who is the girl from Manitoba. Heather the other girl from Texas is kind of a pain, though; shes one of those types of people who never tell you whats bothering them and then get hostile. I dont know how to get along with her but Ill try my best to make friends with her. This I take as one other class I myself open. All in all, though, it looks like its going to be a great year. Ill write again in a week or so.56. Where is the author of the above passage now?A. In England. B. In America.C. In Texas.D. In Manitoba.57. Which subject does the author regard the most difficult?A. History.B. English.C. Zoology.D. Calculus.58. What can we know about the author from the above passage?A. She likes to stay alone all by herself.B. Her parents know little about her university.C. She may not good at writing.D. She must be very busy every day.59. Why is Heather a pain for the author?A. She doesnt like the other three roommates.B. She is not open enough to be friendly.C. She doesnt like the way the author treats her.D. She isnt from the same states as the others.BPassing a store, you might just step in and see if the store has received any new CDs. Once in the store, youre delighted to discover some new CDs that you must have. You could buy them later, of course, but youre already here, so why not now? In the checkout line you wonder whether to write a check or pay with a credit card. Either way would be OK, you suppose. The trouble with writing a check, though, is that you dont have much money left in your checking account. Using the credit card you wont have to pay at once, and when you do pay, you will only have to pay a little a month. So you hand the salesperson your plastic card, and thats the deal! There are a few good things about credit cards. For one thing, its almost impossible to rent a car without a credit card. For another, they are helpful if you are in a situation where you dont have your checkbook or you have little cash with you.What are the disadvantages? One is that few people have the discipline to use their credit cards wisely. Instead, many fall into the buy-now-pay-later trap. Many become “addicted to plastic.” Another disadvantage is that credit cards are more abstract than money or checks and thus contribute to our having less control over our money. Bank notes are physical things, and you have to reconcile your checking account every month when you pay with a check. This takes a bit of work, and although its painful, its more realistic. Credit cards represent the abstract, lending a certain air of unreality to the stage of managing your finances. All you do is sign your name; someone else does the math for you.60. What is the advantage of credit cards?A. You can buy what you like at a lower price.B. You can buy what you like without paying at all.C. You can buy what you like more conveniently.D. You can buy what you like more freely.61. What is the disadvantage of the credit cards?A. They will leave you buying more than what you can really afford.B. They will leave you spending more than paying in cash or with checks.C. They can save you some money sometimes but later cost more.D. They can save you some money but increase interest in your bank account.62. The underlined word “reconcile” in the last paragraph might mostly probably mean “_”.A. balanceB. increaseC. checkD. change63. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. The ABC of Credit Cards.B. Credit Cards, Checks or Cash.C. Why Not Credit Cards? D.

It was an eye-opener to see the destruction and waste popular in the worlds fisheries. The Alaska fishery is very well managed and we do not see the damage occurring elsewhere. Many local people complain of the many restrictive (限制) laws in the fishery, but after reading these articles, Im in favor of even stricter regulation. The sea is the basis for life on Earth, and we must take care of it.Tom HagenCraig, AlaskaYour report presents an overly hopeless future. Here in New England where I have fished commercially for 45 years, we are beginning a recovery from years of over fishing. Under the newly authorized Magnuson-Stevens Act, fishermen are forming partnerships with scientists for the purpose of developing fishing-gear modifications (减少) to reduce by-catch and reduce impacts (冲击) to fish habitat. Additionally, we are collecting information on fish stock abundance, population, and ecosystems. The New England Regional Fishery Management Council is supporting the formation of harvest districts, which enables fishermen to have changing market conditions.Frank MirarchiScituate, MassachusettsYou described fishing around the world, but not here in the United States. There is no support for the American fisherman who is working under the harshest regulations on Earth and the strictest restrictions. We are fishing in a fashion that is completely suitable as required in the Magnuson-Stevens Act. The U.S. keeps importing more fish from countries that have no requirements on gear or on their catch. U.S. fishermen cannot compete with foreign prices, so the fishermens numbers have been reduced. There are no young people who will take our place.Jeremiah OBrienMorroBay, California68. How is the situation about fishery in Alaska according to Tom Hagen?A. There is too much waste in fishery.B. The fishery is balanced well there.C. Many local fishermen liked the fishery laws before.D. The government is not doing their best to limit fishing.69. Jeremiah OBrien does not agree with _.A. the opinion of Tom HagensB. the opinion of Frank MirarchisC. Magnuson-Stevens ActD. all the ideas in the article mentioned70. We can see from the above passage that _.A. fishery in the United States is controlled by the U.S.A governmentB. fishery in the world is running well by the Magnuson-Stevens ActC. in some countries there is less limitation in fishingD. importing fish pays more for the fis
