I made lots of friends in my student dorm, went to great parties, joined the debating society. and, well, I did some work too but I must admit that my lecturers were very patient with my tardiness (拖沓).Ifs easy to look back at our university days in good ways but the truth is that when we first arrived on campus, most of us were out of our comfort zone. In fact, a survey of students at Imperial College London has revealed that 3 out of 4 students experience high levels of stress, or a mental health condition, during their time at college. The survey, completed by over a thousand students, also found that 70% of those that experience stress do so at least once a week, and 9% of them feel stressed constantly.,Kristy, a student at Exeter University, didnt enjoy her first days in college. She says: “When I first got to university I dont think Id realized that Id forgotten how to make friends. Id been with the same school friends for seven years, and so I was trying to balance social success with academic success while learning how to look after myself at quite at a young age.Dr. Ruth Caleb of the counseling service at Brunei University in London has some tips that should make life easier for students before they set off for university. She says: “Certain things that I think it would be very helpful for students to have put in place are an ability to do the practical things of life to do the washing, to do the cleaning and son on being able to cook. Budgeting is extremely important in university life.” And Caleb adds: “You should learn how to spend time on your own comfortably.”I graduated and learnt how to take care of myself the hard way. I hope that new students these days remember to acquire some life skills before they make the big jump.4. How does the writer feel about his university life?A. Challenging but wonderful. B.

Dr. Ruth Caleb thinks budgeting is of great importance because it .A. helps students put everything in placeB. helps students live independentlyC. makes students university life easierD. does good to students social relationships7. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined part in the last paragraph?A. Become very successful. B. Make great progress.C. Get used to university life D. Go to university.CIn 1974, when I was 18,1 took up hang-gliding and paragliding. Today Tm a professional hang-glide instructor, but at the time I was one of only about a dozen in the country doing it. I was lucky to survive: the sport was so new and dangerous then. In 1997 I heard about theBirdman competition, in which participants (参与者）compete to fly the furthest distance; I thought it sounded like fun. I felt that a hang-glider, which usually travels around 90 metres, could go as far as 100 metres one day. The first leap was frightening: a huge crosswind meant I had to take off at almost 90 degrees and it was difficult to manage. But I came back, and now participate in the various Birdman competitions that take place across the country, attracting serious and silly competitors alike.Ifs taken 17 years to break the 100 metre barrier, and I was the first to do it. When I broke the world record in 2014,1 took off from Worthing pier (码头）and didnt touch down for 20 seconds. It was the longest ever flight from a pier, carrying me 159.8 metres until I touched the water. Twenty seconds is a long time when youre doing 45 miles an hour, flying over the waves. Though I still hold the distance record, I didnt win the 2015 Birdman competition. This past year has been more difficult. Im nearly 60 now. Competitors have always joked about how theyll probably be throwing me off the pier. I had operations on my knees, and then three weeks before this years competition at Bognor Regis, I had a mild heart attack. I managed to compete again, but I didnt feel right. My wife was obviously very concerned, but I keep fit. As long as I dont overwork myself, and prepare properly for the event, theres no reason J cant do it for the next 12, 13 years. Next year, I m going to win it again.8. The passage mainly talks about the writers _.A. enthusiasm about a sport B. knowledge about hang-glidingC. difficulties in his career D. records in Birdman competitions9. What can be learned about hang-gliding in 1974?A. It was quite popular. B. It was full of risks.C. It had a record of 100 meters. D. It had about 12 instructors.10. The writer failed to win the competition in 2015 because he A. didnt take it seriously enough B. was too proud of his recordC. was thrown off the pier by others D. was in a poor physical condition11. Which of the following best describes the writer?A. Considerate. B. Humorous. C. Determined. D. Patient.DYouve heard of Charles Darwin, right? The famous scientist who put forward a theory of evolution. You might have just also heard of Alfred Russel Wallace, who worked together with Darwin on the revolutionary work On the Origin of Species published in 1859. But what about Patrick Matthew? “Patrick who?” you might ask. Well, Darwin and Wallace got the fame but Matthew did the legwork too.This British horticulturalist (园艺种植家）actually thought about evolution first, as Dr. Mike Weale, geneticist at Kings College London, explains. He says: “Matthew published a brief outline of the idea of species being able to change into other species through natural selection. And he did that 27 years before Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace. And they recognized that he did so but other people since have simplified the story and tended to concentrate just on Darwin.”So Patrick Matthews relative obscurity (默默无名）may simply be down to us the general public wanting to simplify things. But Dr. Patricia Fara, senior tutor at Clare College Cambridge, points out that Darwins work might have received more attention because he had powerful friends.Dr. Patricia Fara explains that Darwin had the most famous, most outstanding members of the scientific society in Victorian times, who were pushing on his behalf. Having a scientific theory being accepted is not just a matter of whether the theorys right.”Maybe it is time for us to remember Patrick Matthew, a pioneer of the story of survival through adaptation that is at the heart of evolution.12. What makes Darwin and Wallace famous?A. Their great relationship. B. Their work with Matthew.C. Their extraordinary theory. D. Matthews legwork.13. What did Matthew do before the book On the Origin of Species was published?A. He worked with a horticulturalist. B. He published the idea of evolution.C. He simplified a story. D. He concentrated on Darwin.14. According to Dr. Patricia Fara, Matthews obscurity was the result of .A. his lack of powerful friends B. his lack of peoples attentionC. his special characteristics D. peoples tendency of simplification15. What does the underlined sentence suggest?A. Friends help Darwins theory get accepted.B. A theory will be accepted if ifs right.C. People know very little about Matthew.D. We should try to remember Matthew.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。 .Bad breath can be a major problem. The good news is that it can often be prevented with some simple steps.Bad breath is caused by certain bacteria that grow in the mouth. When you dont brush regularly, bacteria accumulate in your mouth and between your teeth. 16 Certain foods, especially ones like garlic and onions that contain pungent (辛辣的）oils, can contribute to bad breath because the oils are carried to your lungs and out through your mouth. 17 Some people think that as long as you brush your teeth, you shouldnt have bad breath. 18 That, however, just doesnt remove the smell. To sufficiently clean all the surfaces of your teeth, you should brush for at least 2 minutes at least twice a day.Many people believe that if you breathe into your hand, youll know when you have bad breath. But its wrong! 19 When you talk, you tend to bring out the smell from the back of your mouth (where bad breath starts), which simply breathing doesnt do. Also, because we tend to get used to our own smells, its hard for a person to tell if he or she has bad breath.If youre concerned about bad breath, make sure youre taking care of your teeth and mouth properly. If you brush properly and visit your dentist for regular cleanings but your bad breath persists, you may have a medical problem. 20 They can figure out if something else is behind your bad breath and help you take care of it.A. These bacteria make your breath smell.B. In that case, call your doctor or dentist.C. Smoking is also a major cause of bad breath.D. Remember to brush your tongue, too bacteria love to hang out there.E. The truth is that most people only brush their teeth for 30 to 45 seconds.F. When you breathe, the smell bounced back by your hand can be easily sensed.G. When you breathe, you don use your throat the same way you do when you talk.第二部分英语知识运用（共两节,满分45)第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分,满分30分）阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填 入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Ordinary people in Britain have more washing machines and cars than in 1946.
