Job D.CYouve already faced one of lifes biggest challenges. You did it! Congratulations! The next challenge is to take full advantage of everything your college has to offer, to get good grades, all the while having a great time. To make your first semester a success, you need to carefully choose your classes.Sign up for the minimum number of classes (usually 12 units). Theres going to be plenty of time for you to take all of the classes you need. Dont fall into the trap of thinking you need to prove your academic prowess (非凡的技能) by taking a much larger than average number of classes. Its important that you give yourself time to adapt to college life, including managing your schoolwork, activities and all the other things that a college offers you.Choose classes that you know you will do well in. In other words, based on your experience in high school, sign up for courses in which you can get As, regardless of the content. Are you good at English? Do you love history? Have you spent time as a Madrigal (牧歌)singer? Sign up for classes in those areas.Dont fall into the trap of taking the hardest math, science, or whatever classes available to show other students how smart you are. Frankly, no one is going to care, and you might just get yourself into academic trouble.Ask upperclassmen who the good professors are. See if there is a college website that offers teacher evaluations. And for sure, dont sign up with a professor who gets bad reviews. Unlike high school, you can be picky about which courses and professors you choose.Once you have your class schedule, get a campus map and go to each of the buildings where your classes will be held. If a classroom is open, go in, look around and decide where you want to sit and feel much less anxious than most other new students.44The passage is written to give advice on_.A. what classes you should choose at collegeB. how many classes you can choose at collegeC. how to choose classes at collegeD. how to get As in the courses you choose at college45Youd better sign up for the minimum number of classes because_.A. you are not allowed to take more than 12 unitsB. you need to prove your academic prowessC. college courses are hard to learnD. you need time to adapt to college life46When you choose classes, you should avoid_.A. the easiest ones B. the most difficult onesC. those others dont care for D. those that you are familiar with47When you want to sign up with a professor, you should consider_.A. how he gets along with upperclassmenB. whether he has rich teaching experienceC. how other students think of him on the websiteD. how much attention he gets on the websiteDDear Sir，Just over six months ago, I saw an advertisement in the morning mail for a set of the complete works of William Shakespeare. Your company, Cosmo Books Ltd.，offered this set (eight books of plays and two books of poetry) at what was claimed to be a reasonable pricefifteen pounds and fifty pence, including postage and packing. I had wanted a set of Shakespeares plays and poems for some time，and these books, in red imitation leather, looked particularly attractive. So I sent for them.Two weeks later, the books arrived, together with a set of the complete works of Charles Dickens which I had not ordered. So I returned Dickens books to you, with a cheque for fifteen pounds and fifty pence for the works of Shakespeare.Two more weeks passed.Then there arrived on my doorstep a second set of the works of Shakespeare，the same set of novels by Dickens and a sixbook set of the plays of Moliere，in French.Since I do not read French，these were of no use to me at all.However，I could not afford to post all these books back to you，so I wrote to you at the end of August of last year，instructing you to come and collect all the books that I did not want，and asking you not to send any other books until further notice.You did not reply to that letter. Instead, you sent me a bill for fortytwo pounds, and a set of the plays of Schiller, in German. Since then, a new set of books has arrived every two weeks, the works of Goethe, the poems of Milton, the plays of Strindberg; I hardly know what I have. The books are still all in their boxes, in the garage, and my car has to stand in the rain outside.I have no room for any more books, and even if I read from now until Judgment Day, I would not finish reading all the books that you have sent me.Please send no more books, send no more bills, send no more annoying letters demanding payment. Just send one large lorry and take all the books away, leaving me only the set of the complete works of Shakespeare for which I have paid.Yours faithfully，Simon Walker48Simon Walker wrote the letter to_.A. urge the company to offer the final solution to the problem with the unwanted booksB. complain about getting books he didnt wantC. advise readers not to order books from Cosmo Books Ltd.D. show his anger to Cosmo Books Ltd.49Mr. Walker answered the advertisement because_.A. he claimed that the books were being offered at a remarkable priceB. he wanted the set of Shakespeares works which was a good bargainC. he had ordered the set and had been waiting for it to come for some timeD. the set he already had was not attractive50The tone of the letter is that of_.A. bitterness B. respectC. humor D. annoyance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。You are one of the most familiar faces in class, not because you are funny or have a great notetaking ability but because you ask the most questions._51_And it is important to have a good way to ask questions. Here are a few tips for improving your questioning skills：Be clear about what you want to know.Be clear about what you want to know and frame your question accordingly._52_If you beat around the bush, your teachers wont be entirely sure what it is that you havent understood, or need an explanation for._53_If you are uncertain about a particular subject, make it clear when it is being discussed. If you put your question in context, you can be sure of it. Because questions often open up new avenues within a subject, doing this would benefit the whole class.Dont hesitate to talk to your teachers after class._54_Therefore, if you feel uncomfortable about asking a question in front of your classmates, wait till the class is over. This will probably put you at ease.Write down your questions._55_They may appear when youre studying, reading or taking notes. Note them down on a piece of p
