15、.八、Section C(总题数：1，分数：71.00)Long before the first Europeans arrived in America, a strange looking animal lived on the western plains. It looked somewhat like a water buffalo. It 1 to eat the rich grass of the plains. The 2 name of the strange animal is the American Bison. However, nearly everyone ca
16、lls the 3 a buffalo. In the early days, millions of buffaloes moved freely across the 4 . It is said that they were 5 animals and ran with great Speed. The Indians hunted, them for food and 6 . In the 19th century, white men began to hunt the bison for their 7 . They seldom killed the bison for meat
17、. One famous 8 , however, Buffalo Bill Cody hunted buffalo for meat. The railroads used the meat to feed their workers 9 save money. As a result, many buffaloes were killed during that time. However, the American buffaloes were difficult to hunt because they could run at a speed at almost 75 kilomet
18、ers an hour and were always 10 for a fight. There were times when five or six bullets would not kill them, and buffalo hunters sometimes had a lot of trouble killing this kind of animals. The buffaloes were hard to control and the hunters would get confused or feel helpless. Finally, in the West, th
19、e expression to buffalo, came to mean to make one helpless or to confuse and trick. It is still used today. When a person has you “buffaloed“, he has you in his power. You“re helpless! （分数：71.00）填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_九、Part Reading Compr(总题数：0，分数：0.00)
20、十、Section A(总题数：1，分数：35.50)When we visit another country, differences in music and dance are probably some of the first things that we notice. Every culture has developed its own types of music and dance, and they are often very different from the music and dance of other societies. Each type of mus
21、ic usually has a distinctive rhythm and a special sound, 1 on the kinds of instruments that are used to produce it. The most common type of instruments are string instruments, such as guitars and violins; wind instruments, including horns and flutes; and percussion instruments, such as drums, cymbal
22、s and pianos. Many different kinds of musical sounds can be 2 by using different combination of instruments. The human voice is a very special kind of instrument, 3 it can produce a great number of different sounds with different volumes ranging from loud to soft. Singing is very popular in most cul
23、tures because it allows us to express words and ideas with music. Societies coordinate body movements with musical rhythms to make 4 Sometimes people dance 5 fun and individual expression. Dances can also be used to communicate 6 to an audience. Hawaiian dancers, for example, use arm and hand moveme
24、nts to express the meaning of a song. In the same way, many societies use dances for religious ceremonies 7 to tell about important events. Music and dance are passed from one 8 to another and thus become a per manent part of the society and its culture. Of course, as cultures come into contact with
25、 each other, the music and dance of one society may be 9 by other societies, or the different styles may be combined to form a new kind of music, for example, Latin American music has taken 10 from Indian cultures and mixed them with features from European and African cultures. Similarly, popular mu
26、sic from England and the United States can be heard in countries all over the world, where it has had an influence on musical tastes, especially among young people.

It seems that almost every college student has stories of colossal romantic disasters during his or her college years, but there are still some tales of true love that would bring Hollywood calling. There are also some universa
28、l truths that those of us who have been through the experience tend to agree on. So what generalities can be shared about love on the college campus of the twenty-first century? Let“s take a look. Consider leaving the relationship from home B. Many college freshmen arrive on campus still tied to a b
29、oyfriend or girlfriend from high school or summer camp who is now either still at home or off at another college. They limp through part or all of the first semester wracked with guilt about not visiting or calling often enough; or, worse yet, they spend most weekends on the road visiting each other
30、 or, worse yet, cheat on the person with someone else, and then these relationships almost invariably explode. For the lucky ones, this happens within the first few weeks of school, allowing the individuals to go on and have rich and productive college lives. For the less fortunate, the relationship
31、s endure long enough to ensure that the individuals have lost out on the early-semester opportunities to bond with their roommates and other freshman new to the campus or, worse, to stigmatize (指责，侮辱) the individuals as people who are “off-limits“ due to a girlfriend or boyfriend “from home.“ As a c
32、ollective group, we don“t know of very many couples whose relationships began in high school and survived both individuals“ attending different colleges. I“m sure there are examples out there, but the chances of your relationship being one of them are very small. Your chance of being one of the thou
33、sands and thousands of so-to-be bitter people who try to make a long-stance relationship work during part of freshman year (or even longer) only to have it fail is very large. Take our advice C. Have a heart-to-heart talk with your significant other from high school, summer camp, or wherever your re
34、lationship began. Talk about the realities, talk about the expense, talk about the inconvenience, and talk about whatever you want to talk about, but make sure that at the end of the talk, you are free to go your separate ways, at least for the first semester. Those who go looking for love don“t fin
35、d it D. The next area of consensus seems to be that you shouldn“t burst on to campus as a freshman and go “looking“ for loveeither the serious kind or a casual hookup. It does seem that people can smell desperation a mile away. The best advice here is to be friendly, outgoing, and approachable and,
36、most important of all, to be yourself. Put yourself out on the “scene“ simply by going to parties and other campus events in mixed groups of friends from your freshman dorm. While there, just talk to the people you meet. Forget about using clumsy pickup lines or other clever ploys (策略，手法) to “figure
37、 out“ how to begin a conversation. The best way to start a conversation is just to walk up and start the conversation. If there is one thing we all learned from our social experiences in college, it is that everyone is waiting for everyone else to make the first move. E. If you find yourself interes
38、ted in someone in one of your classes, strike up an easy, stress-free conversation about the course material. Don“t worry about “losing the deal“ in a single dayyou have the whole semester to get to know the person, and the rest of college after that. That“s the nice thing about college. You know th
39、at anyone you meet there is going to be around awhile. Resist the urge to “couple up“ right away F. The next mistake freshmen seem to make all the time is to look to pair off immediately with the first person who interests them. Resist the urge to do this. Take advantage of this time to meet a lot o
40、f people, bond, have some adventures, and make new friends. Chances are, some of these people will end up staying with you through the rest of college and, if you“re really lucky, for the rest of your life. Enjoy your newfound freedom awhile before you become connected to another person. Remember th
41、at relationships can be isolating. If you couple up right away and start spending all your time with one person, you may find that if that relationship expires, you“re lost the opportunity to fall in naturally with a group of friends and you“ll then have to work harder to find them. G. For many of y
42、ou, freshman year in college will be the first time you can come and go as you please, keep whatever hours you want, hang out with whomever you feel like whenever you feel like it, and explore anything and everything you might want to explore within the bounds of the law and your own sense of morali
43、ty. Safeguard your health, your safety, and your reputation H. As we just said, when you get to college, you are free to explore anything and everything you might want to explore within the bounds of the law and your own sense or morality. I. The problem is that not everyone conform their behavior t
44、o the bounds of the law, and people have vastly different senses of morality. Those disconnects can lead to some real perils. Some people are looking for uncomplicated, fleeting encounters without strings or expectations. Some are looking for relationships, or even life partners in connection with t
45、hose encounters. Some people are good communicators and will let you know what their expectations are. Others won“t, and i tcan be hard, particularly in the heat of the moment, to stop to inquire. J. You would hope that everyone would respect your expectations and whatever boundaries you set up, eve
46、n on the spur of the moment. But the truth is, not everybody will. It is therefore up to you, at all times, to make your expectations known and to protect your health and safety. Home for the holidays K. Freshman couples frequently find themselves asking when it is appropriate to bring a new boyfrie
47、nd or girlfriend home to share a holiday with the family. How you will answer this question is, like many other things romantic, entirely individual, but here are some general guidelines: L. If you“ve been dating seriously for less than three months, it is too early. If you haven“t spent a weekend a
48、way together alone yet, it is too early. M. If your parents don“t yet know you are dating, and if you have not yet met your boyfriend or girlfriend“s parents in some other capacitysuch as on Parents“ Weekend or during some other campus visitit is probably too early. If, when you really think about i
49、t, you“re not sure that you want to be in a committed relationship with this person for a long time, it is too early. N. If you“ve cheated on this person already, or thought about doing so, it is too early. If one of the reasons you want to invite the person to come home with you is that you want to show him or her off to your hi
