First, I want to tell you how proud we are. Getting into Columbia is a real testament(证明) of what a great well-rounded student you are. You should be as proud of yourself as we are.Your college years will be the most important of your life. It is in college that you will discover what learning is about. This will be the period when you go from teacher-taught to master-inspired, after which you must become a self-learner. So do take each subject seriously, and even if what you learn is of no practical use in real life, the learning skills you get will be something you will value forever.Follow your passion in college. Take courses you think you will enjoy and don’t be bothered by what others think or say, but make up your own mind. Most importantly, make true friends and be happy. Don’t worry about their hobbies, grades, looks or even personalities.Start planning early what yo u’d like to do. Where would you like to live? What would you like to learn? I think your plan to study fashion is good and you should decide where you want to be, and get into the right courses. I will always be there for you, but the time has come for you to be in the driver’s seat—this is your life, and you need to be in control. Being in control feels great ,and you’ll love it!So please treasure your college years—make the best use of your free time, become an independent thinker in control of your destiny, and learn through your successes and challenges. May your years at Columbia be the happiest of your life, and may you grow into just what you dream to be.Love,Dad & Mom56. We can read between the lines that ________.A.

Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.Accommodation(膳宿) ZonesHomestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2,3 and 4 of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town center as much of central London is commercial but not residential(居住的).Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a less crowded area. It is very convenient to travel to London by Underground.Meal Plans Available★Continental Breakfast★Breakfast and Dinner★Breakfast, Packed Lunch and DinnerIt’s important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast, which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal(谷物类食品), bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by dessert, fruit and coffee.FriendsIf you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your host’s for permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.Self-Catering Accommodation in Private HomesAccommodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room. This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay student. However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practice English at home quite as much.59. The passage is probably written for ____________.A. hosts willing to receive foreign studentsB. foreigners hoping to build British cultureC. travelers planning to visit families in LondonD. English learners applying(申请) to live in English homes60. Which of the following will the host provide?A. Room cleaningB. Medical careC. Free transportD. Physical training61. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A. Zone 4 is more crowded than Zone 2B. The business center of London is in Zone 1C. Hosts dislikes traveling to the city centerD. Accommodation in the city center is not provided.62. According to the passage, what does Continental Breakfast include?A. Dessert and coffeeB. Fruit and vegetablesC. Bread and fruit juiceD. Cereal and cold meat63. Why do some people choose self-catering accommodation?A. To experience a warmer family atmosphereB. To enrich their knowledge of EnglishC. To entertain friends as they likeD. To enjoy much more freedomCAny foreigner who has tried to learn Chinese can tell how hard it is to master the tones required to speak and understand. And anyone who has tried to learn to play the violin or other instruments can report similar challenges.Now researchers have found that people with musical training have an easier time learning Chinese. Writing in the online edition of Nature Neuroscience, researchers from Northwestern University say that both skills draw on the same parts of the brain that help people discover changes in pitch(音调).One of the study’s authors , Nina Kraus, said the findings suggested that studying music “actually turns our sensory system”. This means that schools that want children to do well in languages should hesitate before cutting music programs, Dr. Kraus said. She said music training might also help children with language problems.Mandarin (普通话) speakers have been shown to have a more complex encoding (编码) of pitch pattern in their brains than English speakers do. This is because in Mandarin and other Asian languages ,pitch plays a central role. A single-syllable word can have several meanings depending on how it is intoned.For this study, the researchers looked at 20 non-Chinese speaking volunteers, half with no musical background and half who have studied an instrument for at least 6 years.As they were shown a movie, the volunteers also heard an audio tape of the Mandarin word “mi”in three of its meanings: squint, bewilder and rice. The researchers recorded activities in their brain stems to see how well they were processing the sounds. Those with a music background showed much more brain activities in response to the Chinese sounds.The lead author of the study, Patrick C. M. Wong, said it might work both ways. It appears that native speakers of tonal languages may do better at learning instrument.64. Why does Chinese learning have something to do with (和..有关)music training?A. Because there is the same difficulty in learning Chinese and musicB. Because one needs to make use of the same parts of the brain if he learns the two skillsC. Because music training might help people with language studyD. Because people who do well in Chinese study do well in music65. The underlined word “intoned” in the fourth paragraph can be replaced by the word “____”.A. createdB. spelledC. seemedD. pronounced66. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Mandarin Speakers Are Smarter than English SpeakersB. Skilled Ear for Music May Help Language StudyC. Pitch Plays a Central Role in Chinese LearningD. Schools Need to Develop Music ProgramsDYou’re standing in the dairy section at the grocery store, searching for your favorite brand. Suddenly, you catch a smell of chocolate cookies. You forget about dairy and head for the bakery section. Guess what? You just walked into an odor trap! The odor(气味) was cooked up by scientists in a lab.For years, scientists have been studying the special powers of smell. They found that more than our other senses, smell changes our mood and helps us remember things.So companies have begun spending thousands of dollars to scent(使充满香味) entire stores. Artificial (人工的) scents are being used to lead customers by the nose. These smells help to get people inside and put them in the mood to buy. They even make customers remember the store later, so they’ll come back for more. Also, many companies have smartly made use of product smells. A company added lemon fragrance to its dish detergent(洗涤剂). They wanted people to think the soap contained “natural” cleaners. It worked!New uses for smells are being created every day. One bank, for example, gives customers coupons(优惠劵)advertising car loans(贷款). To get people to take out a loan, bank officials hope to coat these coupons with the fresh leather smell of a new car. In Australia, telephone offices are putting sweat (汗) odor on unpaid bills. Since some people sweat when they are frightened, this smell might remind them of when they were frightened. And they’ll pay the bills right away!What lies ahead for our noses? Smell scientists are working on some pretty far-out ideas. Would you believe TV sets that produce smells? Or how about scent diets? Certain food smells will fool your stomach into thinking it’s full. Alarm clocks will scent your bedroom with a strong pleasant smell designed to wake you up. Scientists are even working on ways to keep garbage from smelling. Researchers expect scents to help students make more sense of what they’re learning.And just think. Someday soon, even your homework may smell nice!67. How do sales methods affect customers in the stores?A. They change customers’ preferences.B. They persuade customers to use credit cards(信用卡).C. They make customers avoid bad and unsafe products.D. They influence customers to make unplanned purchases(购买物)68. Why do telephone offices put sweat odor on unpaid bills?A. Because the sweat odor is a reminder of frightening experienceB. Because the sweat odor can change people’s attitude.C. Because most people don’t think much of sweatingD. Because many people dislike paying bills69. What does the author mean by saying “ Someday soon, even your homework may smell nice!” in the last paragraph?A. Students would benefit more from smell researchB. Students would be more willing to do homeworkC. Smell research would develop beyond our imaginationD. Smell research would make great differences to our life70. Why does the author write this passage?A. To encourage the store owners to use smells.B. To inform the readers of an interesting subject.C. To blame (责备)the advertisers that use smells to sellD. To expose (暴露) wrong practices by smell scientists.II卷（共35分）第四部分：任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题0.5分，满分5分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
