17、解 My school makes students take one religion (宗教 ) class every year. But religion is really hard, especially with Mr Frank Smith for a teacher. Mr Smith is 55 years old, with grey hair and a moustache (胡子 ). He always wears a blue school T-shirt, shorts and tennis shoes with long white socks. My fri
18、ends say he looks like a cat. In his class, we did yoga (瑜珈 ) and meditation (冥想 ) (actually most of the children in my class lay on the ground sleeping), tasted some strange tea, had classes outside in the garden, and watched videos and movies about Tibetan Buddhism (藏传佛教 ), God, and so on. It was
19、fun sometimes. However, the course (课程 ) was quite hard when it came to tests. The girls often worked until one or two oclock in the morning on nights before the tests, but they still got bad scores. When our test scores were bad, he would give us some makeup assignments (补考作业 ). Once I got a B, whi
20、ch I thought was bad, so I asked Mr Smith for an assignment to bring up my grades. As a matter of fact, his assignments were often worse than the tests. The tests were just a lot of multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blanks, or short essays (文章 ). But his assignments usually included a speech in class. I
21、was not afraid of public speaking, yet it took me three days to collect the information, two days to write the speech, one day to make a PowerPoint and several hours to prepare. I knew my presentation (课堂展示 ) was good, because I saw Mr Smiths big smile when he listened to me. He gave me an A at last
22、. After finishing the course, I may not remember how hard it was or the meaning of some vocabulary. But through Mr Smith, I learned a lesson that will be with me my whole life. That is: no matter what we do, we need to put our hearts into it, and then our work will pay off. 【小题 1】 The religion class
23、 is hard because Mr Smith _. A uses strange ways to teach in his class. B never gives good scores, however hard you try. C gives difficult tests and make-up assignments. D likes students to make good presentations. 【小题 2】 How could students get good scores in Mr. Smiths class A Work hard by studying
24、 late into the night. B Remember all of the vocabulary. C Pay attention and take notes in class. D Do well on the make-up assignment. 【小题 3】 From the course, the writer learned that _.

Right there under the sun during the hottest time of the day, she has only her swimsuit to cover her. When I showed it to my stu
26、dents, it was as if I had shown them scenes from a horror (恐怖 ) movie. “But she will get dark,” they said. “Thats what she wants,” I told them. “We think darker skin (肤色 ) is beautiful.” They looked at me in disbelief. It was as if I came from the moon. For years, American girls spend their summer t
27、rying to get as tanned (晒黑 ) as possible. In China, on the other hand, girls use umbrellas all year round. What in the world is going on The pale skin we think looks unattractive (不漂亮 ) is what Asian women want. Both groups want to meet their cultures standard (标准 ) of beauty. In the US, if you can
28、afford to go on vacation in the summer, you head for a river, a lake or a beach, where you try to get as much sun as possible. If you are rich you take a winter vacation in some sunny spot. Your winter tan shows your wealth. In China, once upon a time, the few wealthy were the ones who didnt have to
29、 work out in the hot sun. So the whiter the skin, the richer the woman. The folk opera performers who play these ladies wore lots of white makeup (妆容 ). The tradition survives to this day. So it comes naturally that none of my students wishes to follow the Western ways in this regard. But now I am n
30、oticing that a new business the tanning booth (美黑店 ) started up in China. I admire those brave enough to define（给 下定义） their own idea of beauty, but I do wonder what their grandmothers would have to say to them about it! 【小题 1】 The students were shocked at the picture the writer showed them because
31、_. A they thought it shameful for a girl only to wear a swimsuit B the writers daughter was wearing very little while out in the sun C it is dangerous for a girl to be out on a lake alone D with the powerful sunlight the writers daughter would have got a suntan 【小题 2】 According to the article, which

Th
34、ey say the problem is growing. Teenagers really dont pay attention to how much noise they are exposed (暴露 ) to, Josef Shargorodsky of Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston told Reuters. “Often people wont notice it, but even slight hearing loss may affect language development,” said Shargorodsky, on
35、e of the researchers. The study compared surveys from the early 1990s and the mid-2000s. Each included a few thousand teenagers. In the first survey, about 15 percent of teenagers had some degree of hearing loss. Some 15 years later, that number had risen by a third, to nearly 20 percent. “This cert
36、ainly is big news,” said Alison Grimes, an ear doctor. Hearing loss is very common in old people, Grimes said, but she added that it was worrying to see it happen in the younger age group. In babies and young children, hearing problems are known to slow language development. The science is less clea
37、r for teenagers, but it is easy to imagine how being hard of hearing could affect learning, said Grimes,. The reasons for the rise are still unclear. When researchers asked teenagers about noise exposure on the job, at school or from activities, for example the teenagers didnt report any change. But
38、 Shargorodsky said that might not be true. “We knew from before that it is difficult to ask this age group about noise exposure they underestimate (低估 ) it.” Few people would call it noise when they listen to music on their MP3 player, for example. “There is a difference between what we think is lou
39、d and what is harmful to the ear,” said Grimes. Although its not clear that the MP3 players cause teenagers hearing loss, Grimes said it was still a good idea to turn down the sound and take short breaks from listening. 【小题 1】 According to the researchers, in a US class of 40 students, about _ stude
40、nts have some degree of hearing loss. A one B five C six D eight 【小题 2】 Which of the following statements is true according to the article A Slight hearing loss does not influence learning. B Only a few old people have hearing problems. C Hearing problems can slow language development. D Noise expos
41、ure is clearly noticed by teenagers. 【小题 3】 About hearing loss, it can be inferred that _. A the reasons for the rise have been found B MP3 players are to blame C listening to loud music may be a cause D noise is the main reason 【小题 4】 The article was written to _. A warn teenagers that loud music m
42、ight be harmful B explain what kinds of noises might affect studies C suggest that teenagers shouldnt listen to loud music D show how important hearing can be for learning 答案： 【小题 1】 D 【小题 1】 C 【小题 1】 C 【小题 1】 A By the time a student starts to apply (申请 ) for a US university, much of his or her reco
43、rd, including grades and after-school activities, has been set in stone. For this reason, the student must in his or her first year of high school start getting ready for college. He or she also has to decide on the non-academic (非学业的 ) tasks, which are important to improve the students chances of g
44、etting in. 1. After-school activities When it comes to high school activities, quality is better than quantity (数量 ). Admissions (录取 ) officers do not want to see a student who has joined dozens of organizations (组织 ) for a short period of time. Many students try to do this towards the end of their
45、high school. But schools want to see a student who has been with one organization for all or most of high school. A student who can do this shows maturity (成熟 ). It is the quality that admissions officers look for as it is one of the markers of future success. 2. Leadership Schools want to see a stu
46、dent who has taken on a leadership role in an organization. A student can show leadership by taking on any role that needs extra commitment (奉献 ) and responsibility. If you do not have a great title (头衔 ) such as president, be sure to explain any leadership roles you have taken. This kind of involve
47、ment (参与 ) in school activities shows you a re the responsible person that admissions officers look for. 3. Consistency (一致性 ) Admissions officers like an application (申请 ) to be consistent. For example if there is a high school activity you particularly (特别地 ) love, it would help if that activity m
48、atches your future academic and career interest. Of course not everything needs to be consistent. Otherwise (否则 ) the student would be narrow and this is not what schools are looking for. However, you cannot have different parts of your application saying conflicting (矛盾的 ) things. 【小题 1】 Who was the article written for A US college students hoping to study in China. B Chinese college students hoping to study in the US. C Third year high school students h
