Going to a university can affect people in different ways. The first and also the most common effect of entering a university is that once you enter the new school, you start missing your old friends.There are many reasons you and your friends start splitting (分开) apart and leaving to study in different schools, but feeling sad cannot be avoided. Because you miss them. In addition, you have to get acquainted (熟悉) with the new university environment. Being at junior or at high school is completely different from being in a university, so you have to learn how to survive in it. During university studies you have to search for your own way to success. Thats because at a university, teachers are not going to solve your problems.Finally, during university studies you are in charge of your life. You have to decide whether or not to do homework, and go to class, etc. Being a responsible person is essential for anyone in this world; without responsibility a person will never reach success. Entering a university, as everything that is new in our lives, can be terrifying at first, but with a little bit of effort, it can become one of the greatest experiences of our lives.25.

After being examined, the child was diagnosed (诊断) with CF (包囊纤维化), a serious disease. The girl would be lucky to survive into her twenties. The woman and her husband did not know what to do. She rushed out to a friend Boomer Esiason, a football star and his wife Cheryl, who knew a lot about CF, since they had a son with it. Theyve been trying to raise money for the CF Foundation (基金会), and now are heading their own foundation. The woman contacted the Esiasons right away, and they shared with her everything they knew about the illness. The woman put her whole heart into understanding CF. She learned how to apply the treatments that would give her daughter hope. Though 30,000 Americans suffered from the illness, the number was too small to motivate (催促) drug companies to do research. The small CF drug market could not bring enough investment (投资) to make up the money needed to develop new drugs. So she quit her job and jumped into the CF business full-time. She now takes part in events organised by the CF Foundation, and gives speeches wherever she goes. The money she raises goes to the CF Foundation, which spends the money employing scientists to do research. Her name is Angela Kinney. Thanks to many people just like her, the average lifespan of a child born with CF has jumped to 36.5 years.29. From the passage we learn that Cheryl is _.

Youll realize whats changed is you. Home is where we can remember pain, love and some other experiences: We parted here; My parents met here; I won three championships here.If I close my eyes, I can still have a clear picture in mind of my first home. I walk in the door and see a brown sofa surrounding a low glass-top wooden table. To the right of the living room is my first bedroom. Its empty, but its where my earliest memories are.There is the dining room table where I celebrated birthdays and where I cried on Halloween-when I didnt want to wear the skirt my mother made for me. I always liked standing on that table because it made me feel tall and strong. If I sit at this table, I can see my favorite room in the house, my parents room. It is simple: a brown wooden dresser lines the right side of the wall next to a television and a couple of photos of my grandparents on each side. Their bed is my safe zone. I can jump on it anytime-waking up my parents if I am scared or if I have an important announcement that cannot wait until the morning.Im lucky because I know my first home still exists. It exists in my mind and heart, on a physical property（住宅）on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles. It is proof I lived, I grew, and I learned.Sometimes when I feel lost, I lie down and shut my eyes, and I go home. I know its where Ill find my family, my dogs, and my belongings. I purposely leave the window open at night because I know Ill be blamed by Mom. But I dont mind, because I want to hear her say my name, which reminds me Im home.33.

It means that if owners of the house are going away, they want someone to come into their house and look after the house and maybe pets while they are away.In Australia, many people travel. After people retire, they might buy a van and travel all over the country. 36So if someone want to travel or go away for some reason, they might want someone in their house to care for it and keep the gardens tidy. Housesitters might have to care for pets. Also, quite a few people have swimming pools in their back yard and they need cleaning. 37 I feel it is a great way of seeing the country, because you go and stay in a new city, get to meet new people, and have time to go sightseeing in a new area.38 There are websites where you find the advertisements by people who want to travel, and by replying to the advertisements, you can make arrangements to go and look after their houses.There are some requirements to be a housesitter. You must be a trusted person, so that the house owner knows you will not steal anything. You must be able to go when the house owner wants you to go, so you need lots of free time. 39 You need to be good with pets, able to care for cats and dogs, or other pets they may have.Some house-sitting jobs are just for a few days or a couple of weeks while the house owner have a short holiday. Sometimes it is for much longer. We have had a house-sitting job for six months,while the house owner travelled to Europe.40 Then you can travel to many different countries and stay there. One of the important things to get are references from the house owners for whom you have done house-sitting. A reference is a written letter to say that you are trustworthy and have looked after their house well. You can show these letters to prospective house owners and they know you will do a good job.A.I have done house-sitting many times.B.Thousands of people do this all the time.C.It is also possible to do house-sitting in other countries.D.Generally you have many opportunities to get a house-sitting job.E.You must take a little care over what your description say about you.F.This is an international house-sitting service for all city and country areas.G.You must have a good car, so you can travel to different parts of the country.第三部分 英语知识运用 (共两节，满分45分)第一节 完形填空（每小题1.5分，共30分） 阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从以下各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。“Look, its Baldy（秃顶的）!” A boy shouted in my direction across the playground.
