25、een evolving for 800 years. some of the first things our students do when they arrive include finding a bike(most students in oxford find cycling is the best way to go around), setting up a bank account, getting their computer and mobile phone working, finding their department, getting to know their

26、 college and working out the best places to socialize. one of the major events you will experience shortly after “coming up” to oxford is matriculation. matriculation is held at the universitys sheldonian theatre and is the ceremony at which you are formally admitted to the university.international

27、students are invited to an orientation day at the start of the academic year. sessions run throughout the day that will give you practical information about living and studying in uk and introduce you to other graduate students from for all over the world who are starting their studies at oxford at

28、the same time as you, as well as to current oxford graduate students and staff who will be able to help and advise you. the day covers topics such as studying and learning in the oxford system, university services, information on living in britain and culture differences, as well as addressing pract

29、ical issues such as employment, immigration and visas, health and safety. you can choose which talks to attend and at the end of the day there is a social hour so you can meet fellow students.another good thing to experience early on is college dining. most colleges have a tradition of regular forma

30、l hall dinners, which consist of three or four courses, and the atmosphere of an evening out in a nice restaurant. on some of these occasions you can invite people around to your college for dinner and then they may return the favor. in this way, you can get to know people studying your own and othe

31、r subjects at the same time as visiting many of the historical college grounds and dining halls.further information on your first few weeks at oxford is available via the students gateway on our website, and you can get first-hand accounts of what life at oxford is like by watching videos of student

34、 deal with the problem of culture differences.58. “return the favor” in the passage probably means _. a. inviting you for dinner b. visiting your historic college in return c. sharing favorite videos d. providing you with some good advice bwhen i was in college, a man named henry worked as a custodi

35、an (看门人) in our student union building. white-haired, with a pennsylvania dutch accent, henry could usually be seen in a baseball cap, a t-shirt and a pair of jeans.he was the custodian, and he was the most respected and most well-known person in the building. everyone loved henry, and it was becaus

36、e of all the implicit ways he expressed his love for everyone around him. henry didnt have to say, “i love you.” he lived his love.henry was always excited when he met someone new, and he wanted to know everything about them. he felt it was important to do things for people he valued. and henry seem

37、ed to value everyone he met. he brought in articles or cartoons for certain people, went out of his way to introduce people to each other, kept dozens of names and birthdays in his wallet so he could send cards, and helped students keep in touch with graduates who had written to him. he even assiste

38、d students who didnt have enough money to buy their books. henry taught me - and many others he supported - how to live life to the fullest. not by skydiving or exploring some foreign countries, but by appreciating where you are in life and valuing those around you.the funny thing is that despite al

39、l he did and taught us, henry truly believed that he was the lucky one - that he was the one who was gaining so much by getting to know us. but all of us who remember henry know that we were the ones who were truly blessed. we will never forget the man who taught us that best way to say “i love you”

40、 often has little to do with the words. 59.what does the word “implicit” in paragraph 2 most probably mean?a. silentb. properc. attractived. unbelievable60.according to the passage, working as a custodian in a college, henry _. a. made international travels to live a full lifeb. was a role model of

41、how to be a caring personc. was busy organizing former students reunionsd. gathered plenty information about the needy students61.henry was always excited to meet new people because _.a. it would make people think highly of himb. he was the most popular person in the collegec. it was part of his res

42、ponsibility as a custodiand. he treasured everything around him in his life62.which of the following word cannot be used to describe henry?a. kind.b. adventurous.c. supportive.d. sympathetic.cwhen a big boat, like a cruise ship, goes through the ocean, it often creates waves. this happens when the l

43、arge engines on the back of the cruise ship cause the water on the oceans surface move up and down violently. these waves move out from the boat in both directions. if you are captaining a smaller boat, youd better steer clear of a ships wake, so that your boat is not surfing on the waves, causing i

44、t to overturn. a wave is a pattern of motion. when you look at a wave, it may appear as simply water moving across the surface of the ocean. in fact, this is false. the water is actually not moving in the same direction as the wave. while the wave itself - the pattern of motion is moving across the

45、surface of the ocean, the water is actually moving in a circular motion, which brings the water molecules back to their original position. the water merely gives the appearance of moving forward.if this is confusing, think of the kind of wave you do at a baseball stadium. viewed from a distance, the

46、 wave is clearly moving across the stadium. but the thing that makes up the wave the people are not moving across the stadium, theyre just moving up and down in their seats. this is just like the water in an ocean wave. a lot of water is moving up and down, which gives water the appearance of moving

47、 along with the wave.surfers pay a lot of attention to waves. if youre not in an area where the waves are suitable for surfing, then you cant surf. usually, surfers gather in areas known for big waves waves that rise high off the oceans surface. if the wave is bigger, then the surfer is often able t

48、o surf for longer distances and perform more tricks. the height of a wave is known as its amplitude ( 振幅,幅度,波幅) . if you could make a wave freeze, then you could measure the waves amplitude by running a tape measure from the oceans surface to the very peak of the wave.all waves can be measured using

49、 amplitude and wavelength. while the waves created by a boat have very small amplitude sometimes as small as a few centimeters the wavelength can be very short, as lots of waves are being generated. by contrast, a tsunami has very high amplitude, sometimes more than 100 feet, but a relatively long w

50、avelength, as its a high wave.waves generated in the same way can have great differences in amplitude and wavelength. for example, think back to the cruise ship. while each ship creates waves caused by the movement of the boat, the properties of each of the waves may be very different. for example,

51、a larger cruise ship, with powerful engines, may create a wave that has high amplitude and a short wavelength. however, if the ships engines slow down, they may then start creating less powerful waves at a slower rate. this would cause the waves amplitude to decrease, but its wavelength to increase.

52、63. what does the phrase “steer clear of a cruise ships wake” in the 1st paragraph mean?a. keep awake while steering a shipb. get a clear view of what is aheadc. keep away from the cruise shipd. follow the cruise ship very closely64. the author gives an example of wave people do in the stadium in or

53、der to _.a. describe how excited people are in a basketball stadiumb. clear the confusion over measuring the waves amplitudec. demonstrate how to make waves in a basketball stadiumd. explain why the water appears to move along the waves65. the last paragraph gives us the impression that _.a. the wav

54、es amplitude may vary, but its wavelength remain the sameb. the more powerful the ships engines are, the higher the waves they generatec. the amplitude of a wave depends on the direction the water moves forwardd. measuring the amplitude and wavelength of waves is not quite easy66. what is this passa

55、ge mainly about?a. how waves are created and measured.b. what makes the sea water move forwards.c. why people create waves in the stadium.d. how to steer a cruise ship in the rough sea.d are you an optimist? do you look at your glass and see it as half full? do you believe that every cloud has a silver lining and that things generally turn out for the best? do you believe that if something is meant to be, it will be? if
