Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C

7、and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. 10 “Freshman fifteen“ is a term which means fifteen pounds, or about seven kilograms the weight students might expect to gain in their first year of college. Peopl

8、e used to talk about the “freshman ten.“ Before that, it was the “freshman five.“ Are freshman more inflated, or just the expression? The fact is, many young men and women do put on extra weight when they start college. Some schools that have done research on the issue including Cornell University i

9、n Ithaca, New York, have found that freshmen gain an average of four pounds during their first twelve weeks, the equivalent of two kilograms. If weight gain continues at this rate, how long before they put on fifteen pounds? The answer is forty-five weeks, or almost a year. The next question is, why

10、 do so many freshmen gain weight? The answers listed by experts are not so surprising. One is poor diet: College students often eat foods high in fat and sugar and starch with no parents around to say no to junk food. Students may also miss meals. They could be in class or studying or just . busy. I

11、n any case, those who miss meals are more likely to overeat when they do have food. Also, freshmen often use food to put their mind at ease. They have college pressures to deal with. Not only that, many are living away from home for the first time. Another reason college students gain weight is that

12、 they often do not get enough exercise. Finally, there is something else that can add up to the “freshman five“ or ten or fifteen, alcohol. Alcohol is high in calories and this is especially true of beer. And, no, freshmen are not supposed to be drinking, not unless they are twenty-one, the legal dr

13、inking age in America. For many college students, the extra weight they put on in their freshman year can be as hard to escape as term papers and final exams. 11 Paragraph 1 is centered on_. （ A） why freshmen put on weight in college （ B） why freshmen worry about their weight （ C） how the “freshman

14、fifteen“ gets its name （ D） how the “freshman fifteen“ amazes freshmen 12 It is implied that parents_. （ A） understand the importance of regular meals （ B） play a positive role in students eating habits （ C） are responsible for the students poor diet （ D） are satisfied with their children s lifestyl

15、e 13 Which of the following is NOT the reason for freshmen s weight gain? （ A） They spend more time in their study. （ B） They eat too much junk food. （ C） They do not eat regularly. （ D） They do not exercise regularly. 14 It can be said that alcohol_. （ A） is the most important cause of weight gain

17、re freshmen will gain weight in the future （ C） weight gain can be avoided with healthy diet （ D） weight gain is unavoidable for many freshmen. 15 Writing is not an easy skill. It is both mental and physical. A person must be able to move the muscles in the hands and fingers to form letters and numb

18、ers. Some people are not able to move these muscles easily. Experts say teachers and parents should suspect dysgraphia (书写困难 )if they see handwriting that is unusually difficult to understand. Letters may be formed or spaced incorrectly. Capital letters may be in the wrong places. Children with dysg

19、raphia often hold their writing tools in an unusual position. They may also place the paper in an odd position for writing. The disorder generally appears when they first learn to write. Children continue to write wrong or misspelled words even after their teacher tries to show them the correct way.

20、 Experts at the National Institutes of Health say the cause of the disorder is not known. Some people with dysgraphia are able to improve their writing ability. But others are not. As with other disorders, the most important part of treatment is for someone to first identify the problem. There are s

21、ome simple interventions that can help students with dysgraphia. For example, schools can give them more time to complete writing activities and provide help taking notes. Students might be permitted to type their work instead of having to write by hand. Teachers can also permit students to take exa

22、minations by speaking the answers instead of writing them. Dysgraphia often appears with other learning disabilities. Some students may not be able to organize their thoughts and think about how to write at the same time. So a teacher might advise them to type their ideas first, without thinking abo

23、ut writing skills. Experts say people with dysgraphia may be able to write well if they work slowly and develop their skills. Technology can help. One way to avoid the problems of handwriting is to use a computer. Students can use the computer spell checker to help make sure every word is correct. 1

24、6 Children may be considered to have dysgraphia if_. （ A） they hold their pens in an unusual position （ B） their hands and fingers are unusually shaped （ C） their handwriting is unusually hard to understand （ D） they place the paper in an unusual position for writing 17 Children with dysgraphia_. （

25、A） can improve their writing ability later on （ B） have other physical problems related to muscles （ C） can hardly be identified at the early stage of the illness （ D） may show signs of the problem when they learn to write 18 To treat dysgraphia, the most important thing is to_. （ A） discover the pr

26、oblem in children （ B） find out the cause of the problem （ C） treat these children with extra care （ D） help these children build confidence 19 All the following methods can be used to help children with dysgraphia EXCEPT_. （ A） allowing them to have more time to write the answers （ B） allowing them

27、 to type the answers on the computer （ C） allowing them to speak the answers to the teachers （ D） allowing other students to write the answers for them 20 The passage is mainly written for the_ of the children with dysgraphia. （ A） classmates （ B） teachers （ C） doctors （ D） parents 20 Sometime in th

28、e early 1990s I was treating a woman in an intensive chemical dependency group. Let s call her “Grace.“ Grace was a flight attendant and had been suspended from her job with a major airline due to her untreated alcoholism. After the eight week program, I suggested to her it might be a good idea to s

29、olidify her foundation in recovery before returning to work as she would be working in a high - risk environment (serving alcohol, being out of town alone, etc.). Grace, however, returned to work shortly after completing treatment. One day while she was departing from a plane at the end of long day

30、a major craving for alcohol overpowered her. There she was, in the Los Angeles International Airport pulling her roller-bag behind her when this massive craving to drink came over her. She tried to just “think through it,“ or “just forget about it,“ but it was way too powerful. It was so powerful, i

31、n fact, that she had resigned to herself that she would just go drink. On her way to the bar in the airport, Grace had a moment of sanity. She stopped, picked up the airport paging phone and said, “Will you please page friends of Bill W.,“ she paused, quickly looking around for an empty gate, “to co

32、me to Gate 12?“ Within minutes, over the paging system in the LA International Airport came, “ Will friends of Bill W. please come to Gate 12.“ Most people in recovery know that asking if you are a friend of Bill W. is an anonymous way to identify yourself as a member of AA. In less than five minute

33、s there were about fifteen people at that gate from all over the world. That brought tears of amazement, relief and joy to Grace. They had a little meeting there in that empty gate, total strangers prior to that moment. Grace discovered that two of those people had gotten out of their boarding lines

34、 and missed their flights to answer that call for help. They had remembered what they had seen on many walls of meeting rooms: “When anyone, anywhere reaches out their hand for help, I want the hand of AA to be there and for that I am responsible.“ Grace did not drink that day. I would venture to gu

35、ess that none of the people who came to Gate 12 drank that day either. 21 The author of the passage is a_. （ A） patient （ B） doctor （ C） flight attendant （ D） airline manager 22 What was the author s recommendation for Grace after her treatment program was over? （ A） She should not go back to her wo

36、rk any more. （ B） She should not start work immediately after the treatment. （ C） She should return to work as soon as possible. （ D） She should receive extra treatment after back to work. 23 Grace was overwhelmed by the desire to drink, _. （ A） so she quickly went back home （ B） even when she was s

37、till on duty （ C） and decided to do it no matter what （ D） but then she managed to forget about it 24 It can be learned from the passage that a member of AA refers to_. （ A） the people affected by alcoholism （ B） the stranger who is ready to help （ C） the medical professional in action （ D） the coll

38、eague who offers replacement 25 At Gate 12, Grace_. （ A） was glad to meet some old friends （ B） felt sorry for having disturbed others （ C） learned the lesson the hard way （ D） received the help she called for 25 A married couple was in a car when the wife turned to her husband and asked, “ Would yo

39、u like to stop for a drink?“ “No thanks,“ he answered truthfully. So they didnt stop. The result? The wife who had indeed wanted to stop became irritated because she felt her preference had not been considered. The husband, seeing his wife was angry, became frustrated. Why didn t she just say what s

40、he wanted? Unfortunately, he failed to see that his wife was asking the question not to get an instant decision, but to begin a negotiation. And the woman didn t realize that when her husband said no, he was just expressing his preference, not making a ruling. When a man and woman interpret the same

41、 interchange in such conflicting ways, its no wonder they can find themselves leveling angry charges of selfishness at each other. Research shows that the seemingly senseless misunderstandings that haunt our relationships can at least in part be explained by the different conversational rules by whi

42、ch men and women often play. Men grow up in a world in which a conversation is often a contest either to gain the upper hand or to prevent other people from pushing them around. For many women, however, talking is typically a way to exchange confirmation and support.Women often think in terms of clo

43、seness and support, they struggle to preserve intimacy. Men, concerned with status, tend to focus on establishing independence. A cartoon I once saw shows a husband opening a newspaper and asking his wife, “ Is there anything you d like to say before I start reading?“ We know there isn t but that as

44、 soon as the man begins reading, his wife will think of something. The cartoon is funny because people recognize their own experience in it. What s not funny is that many women are hurt when men don t talk to them at home, and many men are frustrated when they disappoint their partners without knowi

45、ng why. When we don t see style differences for what they are, we sometimes draw unfair conclusions (“You don t care about me.“). But once we grasp the two characteristic approaches, we stand a better chance of preventing disagreements from spiraling out of control. Learning the other s ways of talk

46、ing is a leap across the communication gap between men and women, and a giant step toward genuine understanding. 26 Which of the following words is closest in meaning to “irritated“ in Paragraph 1? （ A） Silenced. （ B） Excited. （ C） Angry. （ D） Calm. 27 The woman considered her husband s “no“ answer

47、as a(n)_. （ A） simple way to answer her question （ B） direct way to make decisions for her （ C） boring way to express his view （ D） indirect way to mean he doesn t care 28 According to the passage, for many men talking is a means to get_. （ A） information （ B） understanding （ C） encouragement （ D） a

48、chievement 29 By learning the other s ways of talking, we may_. （ A） keep our disagreements under control （ B） forget about our disagreements （ C） accuse the other of being selfish （ D） find out the other s weakest point 30 The passage is mainly concerned with_. （ A） why men and women use different

49、words in their talks （ B） why men and women misunderstand each other in their talks （ C） how men and women achieve a balance in their daily life （ D） how men and women learn to help each other in their daily life 三、 Part II Vocabulary and Structure (30%) Directions: In this part, there are 30 incomplete sentences.
