Who do you want to be? What do you want to do? Where do you want to go in life? How do you get there?

Private colleges on Long Island charge an average of $25.000 a year on overall costs, an average total of $100.000 over four years. Our college's cost is just over $13.000 or about $53,000 over four years.

That's the money you can use later for graduate school, travel, or whatever you choose.LOCATION: With a wooded 604-acre campus centrally located on Long Island.

LCULTY: 120 full-time, of whom 80% hold a terminal degree in their fields A 17:1 dent-to-faculty ratio.RICULUM(课程)：comprehensive, with 45 undergraduate majors 16 minors in both arts and professional fields. One graduate program currently available.REES：undergraduate: bachelor of arts, bachelor of science, Bachelor of professionalGraduate: M, S. in Accounting.NT LIFE: active and diverse with more than 50 student organizations, including Newspaper and television station, academic organizations and community service FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE：60% of students receive either need-based aid or merit-based scholarships.ADMINSSION REQUIREMENTS: Applications considered on a rolling basis. About 55% of freshman applicants are accepted. Transfer students earning more than 24 credit hours of college work will be evaluated based on that work.16.

It offers both undergraduate and graduate programs.B. Students get more aid and scholarships.C. New York State invests money in it.D. It has a small number of students.Questions 20 t0 23 are based on the following passage.The story of chocolate begins with the discovery of America.Until 1492, the Old World knew nothing at all about chocolate that was to become the favorite of millions.During his conquest of Mexico, Cortez, the great Spanish explorer, found the Aztec Indians using cocoa beans in the preparation of the royal drink "chocolate", meaning warm liquid. However, the drink was very bitter, and the Spaniards did not find it to their taste. To make it more agreeable to Europeans, Cortez and his countrymen invented the idea of sweetening it with sugar. The new drink quickly won friends, especially among the Spanish aristocracy(贵族）．Spain wisely continued to plant cocoa in its overseas colonies, which gave birth to a very profitable business. Remarkably enough, the Spa rush succeeded in keeping the art of the cocoa industry a secret from the rest of Europe for nearly a hundred years.Later, the secret was let out. For a while chocolate was the drink at the fashionable Court ofFrance. Then it spread across the Channel to Great Britain, and in 1657 the first of many famousEnglish chocolate houses appeared.In the United States of America, the production of chocolate proceeded at a faster pace than where else in the world. It was in pre-revolutionary New England-1765, to be exact-that the chocolate factory was established in this country.20. What made chocolate disagreeable to Spaniards?A. it was a bitter drinkB. it was a royal drinkC. it was a warm drinkD. it was a new drink21. Why did the Spanish keep the art of cocoa industry unknown to other countries?A. to please the Spanish aristocracyB. to plant coco in its overseas coloniesC. to make more profit from the industryD. to enable the drink to won more friends22.

SpainC. great BritainD. the United StatesQuestions 24 to 27 are based on the following passage.Living in the city is hard. I was born and raised in Dallas, so I know first-hand about heavy traffic and busy roads. However, when I moved to New York City (NYC), I was not Very well prepared for it. I love NYC, but sometimes i have to escape from the noise, to free my mind from all the daily worries and to clear my thoughts. However hard and challenging life can be. I still have to enjoy the road along the way to success.Everyone needs to take a break from the crazy pace of NYC lifestyle once in a while. My favorite spot to do that is the Van Cortland Park. With its long paths where I like to ride on my bike, passing trees and bushes so wild that they make you believe you have escaped the city completely and are somewhere in the middle of a real forest.Yesterday I made my weekly escape to the park. Wanting to be closer to nature, I decided not toTake the pathway but, instead, go directly through the forest. As I moved through the thick forest, I pushed away the branches that came in my way. It was as if there wasn't a sign of civilization around me at all. The air was still wet fromthe early morning shower, while everywhere, in the open; it had already been very dry and hotHalf an hour later I was at my destination point, the meadow（草地）in the middle of the forest. There were a couple of people already sitting on the grass, picnicking, reading, just lying down dreaming. Even though I wasn't alone on the meadow this time, I actually enjoyed this fact: I could watch the people merge(融合）with nature，in this paradise-like place .24.

What is the authors purpose of going to the Van Cortland Park?A. To enjoy the long paths of the park.B. To get to the middle of a real forest.C. To take a break from the busy life.D. To ride on his bikeQuestions 28to31 are based on the following passage.Out of all the cities and towns we in Central Europe the city that made the biggest impression on me was definitely Prague(布拉格). I do not know if it is the story being every wall. Stone and bridge that left me so speechless. But to this day I have no doubt that there is no other city in the world that can compare to Prague. With its peculiar romantic flavor. Prague to me is far more attractive than Paris. London and New York put together.My acquaintance with Prague started on the bus from Vienna, where i listened to a tour guide telling us the story of how the city was set up. When we arrived in Prague, the first thing we went to see right from the hotel was. Of course, the Charles Bridge Completed in 1357. This bridge was built on blood and eggs to hold the bricks together. And it proved to be firmer than any other material. Fascinated by the fact. We went on to examine the statues on every post of the bridge. While we listened to the story behind each of them.There were many other things that inspired and fascinate me. The whole of Prague is like a fairy tale of its own. With millions of unbelievable stories running through its history. But what impressed me most was the sunset above the Prague Castle.The view was just beautiful: the sun, just barely reaching the sharp peaks of the Castle; with soft clouds; the sweet music of violin somewhere in the air. It is so great that it makes you feel like time has stopped.We spent over three weeks in Europe, and just two days in Prague. But it seems like Prague has taken up most of my emotions and feelings. Prague is worth visiting again and again28. What makes Prague more attractive than Paris or London according to the passage?A. Its romantic taste.B. Its bridges.C. Its stones.D. Its walls.29. The word “acquaintance" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _____.A. awarenessB. knowledgeC. realizationD. consideration30. What impressed the author most in Prague?A. The Prague Castle.B. The Charles Bridge.C. The sunset.D. The statues.31. Why do you think the author wrote the passage?A. To explain why Prague has such a long history.B. To show how different Prague is from Paris.C. To let people know more about Europe.D. To encourage people to visit Prague.Questions 32 to 35 are based on the following passage.There has been an ongoing debate on whether school uniforms should be completely abolished in all schools, both private and public. Despite both pros and cons(赞同和反对意见)or any uniform, personally i stick to the idea that school uniforms should be introduced in all public and private school.There are certainly many factors that should be taken into account when discussing the issue of school uniforms. While moat private schools already have established a particular school uniform to be worn at all times and by all students, public schools mostly remain more liberal and only have a more or less strict dress code. In public schools, some kids have parent with rather high incomes who can afford to buy fashionable and costly clothes for their kids. But there are also those teens who are forced to buy low-cost outfits at discount retail stores. If all students wear identical clothes, no one will be hurt by the comparison.Another point to consider is, of course, the way teenagers try to express their feelings. If from an early age children get used to paying too much attention to theway people dress and look instead of enriching their inner being and acquiring new skills. we should expect a very materialistic(物质至上的)，society in the nearest future. Wearing a uniform would help in having people pay more attention to one's personality. Rather than looks. The main idea is to help a child understand that they should develop their inner beauty and not get involved with bad company and false friends.All in all, wearing school uniforms is a great solution to these, arguments. What counts most is that school uniforms teach children a certain discipline--the qualities they will later in life make use of when they have to obey certain social norms and laws.32. What is the author's attitude towards wearing school uniforms?A. CriticalB. Supportive.C. Indifferent.D. Double33. in public schools, _________A. some children have to buy low-price clothesB. all parents of the students have high incomesC. the dress code is stricter than in private schoolsD. all the students must wear uniforms all the time34. Focusing on personality will probably help children ----A. have false friendsB. Ignore their looksC. expect a material lifeD. Enrich their inner beauty35. What is the most important role that wearing school uniforms plays?A. It helps children find solutions to some arguments in their life.B. It helps children develop qualities useful in their future.C. it will teach children some laws to obey in the future.D. It will introduce some social norms to the children.Part Ⅲ ClozeDirections: There is a passage in this part with 10 blanks in it.

2．I. Reading Comprehension （本大题共20 个小题，每空2 分，共40 分） Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1The interview is an important event in the job-hunting process, because the 20 or 30 minutes you spend with the interviewer may determine whether or not you get the particular job you want. Therefore, it is important to remember that your objective during the interview may differ from the objective of the potential employer. You want to make yourself stand out as a whole person who has personal strengths, is well qualified, and should be considered the right person for the job. It is encouraging to know that the interview‟s task is not to embarrass you or to trip you up, but to hire/////¤/////¤/////密¤封¤装¤订¤线密封线内不要答题 准考证号 姓名： /////¤/////¤/////the right person for the job.Remember, job hunting is very competitive. Anything you can do to enhance your interview techniques will be to your advantage. The following suggestions may help you land the most important job.Your goal in this interview is to make sure your good points get across. The interviewer won‟t know them unless you point them out, so try to do this in a factual and sincere manner.Do not make slighting references to former employers or professors. If you have been fired from a job and the interviewer asks about it, be frank in your answer.Show the interviewer that you are interested in the company by asking relevant questions. Ask about responsibilities, working conditions, promotion opportunities and benefits of the job you are interviewing for.If at some point you decide the interview is not going well, do not let your discouragement show. You have nothing to lose by continuing a show of confidence, and you may have much to gain. It may be real, or it may be a test to see how you react to adverse conditions.Some interviewers may bring up salary early in the interview. At this time, you may indicate that you are more interested in a job where you can prove yourself than a specific salary. This politely passes the question back to the interviewer. If possible, you should negotiate for salary after you have been offered a job and when you are ready to complete the paperwork.1. To get the job you want, during the interview you should_________.A. avoid the interviewer‟s questions that are designed to trip you upB. remember that you are the best qualified candidateC. make yourself stand out as the right person for the jobD. keep in mind that it determines whether or not you get the particular job you want2. If you did not get along with your former employer, you_______.

The most important thing to do during an interview is _________. A. to make your strengths understoodB. to show your intense interest in the job you are applying forC. to be frank and sincereD. to be natural and confidentPassage 2Since the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers. Brain-computer interface (BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines.Recently, two researchers, Jose Millan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic school in Lausanne, Switzerland, demonstrated a small robotic wheelchair directed by a person‟s thoughts.In the laboratory, Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right band. He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts./////¤/////¤/////密¤封¤装¤订¤线密封线内不要答题 准考证号 姓名： /////¤/////¤/////“Our brain has billions of nerve cells. These send signals through the spinal cord （脊髓）to the muscles to give us the ability to move. But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles,”Tavella says. “Our system a llows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices.”The researchers designed a special cap for the user. This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp(头皮) and sends them to a computer. The computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair. The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. They help the computer react to commands from the brain.Prof. Millan, the team leader, says scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain signals and turns them into simple commands. “The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories: communication, and controlling devices. One example is this wheelchair.”He says his team has set two goals. One is testing with real patients, so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from. And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time.6. BCI is a technology that can .A. help to update computer systemsB. link the human brain with computersC. help the disabled to recoverD. control a person‟s thoughts7.

Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5?A. scalp →computer →cap →wheelchairB. computer →cap →scalp →wheelchairC. scalp →cap →computer →wheelchairD. cap →computer →scalp →wheelchair9.

Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Switzerland, the BCI Research CenterB. New Findings About How the Human Brain WorksC. BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the DisabledD. Robotic Vehicles Could Help to Cure Brain InjuriesPassage 3For those who make journeys across the world, the speed of travel today has turned the countries into a series of villages. Distances between them appear no greater to a modern traveler than those which once faced men as they walked from village to village. Jet planes fly people from one end of the earth to the other, allowing them a freedom of movement undreamt of a hundred years ago.Yet some people wonder if the revolution in travel has gone too far. A price has been paid, they say, for the conquest of time and distance. Travel is something to be enjoyed, not endured. The boat offers leisure and time enough to appreciate the ever-changing sights and sounds of a journey. A journey by train also has a special charm about it. Lakes and forests and wild, open plains sweeping past your carriage window create a grand view in which time and distance mean nothing. On board a plane, however, there is just the blank blue of the sky filling the narrow windows of the airplane. The soft lighting, in-flight films and gentle music make up the only world you know, and the hours progress slowly.Then there is the time spent being …processed‟ at a modern/////¤/////¤/////密¤封¤装¤订¤线密封线内不要答题 准考证号 姓名： /////¤/////¤/////airport. People are conveyed like robots along walkways; baggage is weighed, tickets produced, examined and produced yet again before the passengers move to another waiting area. Journeys by rail and sea take longer, yes, but the hours devoted to being …p rocessed‟at departure and arrival in airports are luckily absent. No wonder, then, that the modern high-speed trains are winning back passengers from the airlines.Man, however, is now a world traveler and cannot turn his back on the airplane. The working lives of too many people depend upon it; whole new industries have been built around its design and operation. The holiday-maker, too, with limited time to spend, patiently endures the busy airports and the limited space of the flight to gain those extra hours and even days, relaxing in the sun. Speed controls people‟s lives; time saved, in work or play, is the important thing—or so we are told. Perhaps those first horsemen, riding free across the wild, open plains, were enjoying a better world than the one we know today. They could travel at will, and the clock was not their master.11. What does the writer try to express in Paragraph 1?A. Travel by plane has speeded up the growth of villages.B. The speed of modern travel has made distances relatively short.C. The freedom of movement has helped people realize their dreams.D. Man has been fond of traveling rather than staying in one place.12. How does the writer support the underlined statement in Paragraph 2?A. By giving instructionsB. By analyzing cause and effectC. By following the order of timeD. By giving examples13. According to Paragraph 3, passengers are turning back to modern high-speed trains because ________ .A. they pay less for the ticketsB. they feel safer during the travelC. they can enjoy higher speed of travelD. they don‟t have to waste time being …processed‟ 14. What does the last sentence of passage mean?A. They could enjoy free and relaxing travel.B. They needed the clock to tell the time.C. They preferred traveling on horseback.D. They could travel with their master 15. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Air travel benefits people and industries.B. Train travel has some advantages over air travel.C. Great changes have taken place in modern travel.D. The high speed of air travel is gained at a cost.Passage 4Everyone has heard of the San Andreas fault (断层), which constantly threatens California and the West Coast with earthquakes. But how many people know about the equally serious New Madrid fault in Missouri?Between December of 1811 and February of 1812, three major earthquakes occurred, all centered around the town of New Madrid, Missouri, on the Mississippi River. Property damage was severe. Buildings in the area were almost destroyed. Whole forests fell at once, and huge cracks opened in the ground, allowing smell of sulfur (硫磺) to filter upward.The Mississippi River itself completely changed character, developing sudden rapids and whirlpools. Several times it changed its course, and once, according to some observers, it actually appeared to run backwards. Few people were killed in the New Madrid earthquakes, probably simply because few people lived in the area in 1811; but the severity of the earthquakes was shown by the fact that the shock waves rang bells in church towers in Charleston, South Carolina, on the coast. Buildings shook in New York City, and clocks were stopped in Washington, D.C. Scientists now know that America's two major faults are essentially different. The San Andreas is a horizontal boundary between two major land/////¤/////¤/////密¤封¤装¤订¤线密封线内不要答题 准考证号 姓名： /////¤/////¤/////masses that are slowly moving in opposite directions. California earthquakes result when the movement of these two masses suddenly lurches (倾斜) forward.The New Madrid fault, on the other hand, is a vertical fault; at some points, possibly hundreds of millions of years ago, rock was pushed up toward the surface, probably by volcanoes under the surface. Suddenly, the volcanoes cooled and the rock collapsed, leaving huge cracks. Even now, the rock continues to settle downwards, and sudden sinking motions trigger earthquakes in the region. The fault itself, a large crack in this layer of rock, with dozens of other cracks that split off from it, extends from northeast Arkansas through Missouri and into southern Illinois.Scientists who have studied the New Madrid fault say there have been numerous smaller quakes in the area since 1811; these smaller quakes indicate that larger ones are probably coming, but the scientists say have no method of predicting when a large earthquake will occur.16. This passage is mainly about ________ .A. the New Madrid fault in MissouriB. the San Andreas and the New Madrid faultsC. the causes of faultsD. current scientific knowledge about faults17. The New Madrid fault is _________.A. a horizontal faultB. a vertical faultC. a more serious fault than the San Andreas faultD. responsible for forming the Mississippi River18. We may conclude from the passage that _________.A. it is probably as dangerous to live in Missouri as inCaliforniaB. the New Madrid fault will eventually develop a mountainrange in MissouriC. California will become an island in futureD. A big earthquake will occur to California soon19. This passage implies that .A. horizontal faults are more dangerous than vertical faults.B. Vertical faults are more dangerous than horizontal faultsC. Earthquakes occur only around fault areasD. California will break into pieces by an eventual earthquake 20. As used in the first sentence of the fourth paragraph, the word essentially means __________.A. greatlyB. extremelyC. basicallyD. necessarilyII.

Sound has a waste product, too in the form of noise. Noise has been called unwanted sound. Noise is growing and it may get much worse before it gets any better. Scientists, for several years, have been studying how noise affects people and animals. They are surprised by what they have learned. Peace and quiet are becoming harder to find. Noise pollution is a threat that should be looked at carefully.There is a saying that it is so noisy that you can’t hear yourself think. Doctors who study noise believe that we must sometimes hear ourselves think. If we don’t, we may have headaches, other aches and pains, or even worse mental problems.Noise adds more tension to a society that already faces enough stress.But noise is not a new problem. In ancient Rome, people complained so much about noise that government stopped chariots (四轮马车)from moving through the streets at night!Ways of making less noise are now being tested. There are even laws controlling noise. We cannot return to the “good old days” of peace and quiet. But we can reduce noise ---if we shout loudly enough about it.36. Why are scientists surprised by the findings in their noise study? [单选题] *A .Because it is very hard to find a peace and quiet place nowadays.(正确答案)B .Because they have learned that noise is also a kind of pollution.C .Because noise is an unwanted waste for human beings.D .Because people knew little about noise before.37. What may happen if we cannot hear ourselves think? [单选题] *A .We may forget what we have thought about.B .Our thoughts may be disturbed.C .Our health may be disturbed.(正确答案)D .We may have difficulty finding the right words.38. When the writer says we cannot return to the good old days, he means that_______. [单选题] *A. our society is becoming much worse than before.B .in our modern society it is hard to lead a quiet life.(正确答案)C .the old days was much happier than the present time.D .it is impossible for us to deal with noise as we did before.39. Form the last sentence of the passage we can learn that____________. [单选题] *A. we can put noise under control if we take effective measures.B. sometimes we have to shout loudly so that others can hear us.C. shouting is the chief cause of noise pollution nowadays.D .it is important to warn people of the danger of noise pollution.(正确答案)40. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? [单选题] *A. Only recently did people realize the harmful effect of noise.B. Noise pollution is the worst kind of pollution we suffer from.C. People are now trying to find ways to make noise as low as possible.(正确答案)D. The writer thinks that it is almost impossible for people to avoid noise.Passage twoComputer virus, whose essential component is a set of instructions, is one kind of threat to the security and integrity of computer systems. Nowadays computer systems worldwide are often infected by computer viruses. Some cause the loss of programs and data, erase file or subtly alter data. Others even crash computers or make them useless. Inthis way, each year they cause tens of thousands of US dollars of losses.It’s estimated that there are about 4,500 kinds of computer viruses, being set on line at the rate of about 5 per day. How terrible! A case in point is “Love Bug” which proclaims “I love you” in the e-mail subject line. Once the Internet surfer opens the file with “I love you”, the viruses would copy themselves and destroy valuable computer pictures and video files. Another case in point is the CIH, which is also very destructive. Besides, there are also “Concept F”,“Explore Zip” and “Nimda”, to name only a few.It’s high time that we worked out effective ways to remove and weep out the viruses. On the one hand, I hope anti-bug experts would write out more bug killers such asKV3,000 so as to eliminate the bugs .On the other hand, we should enhance the cyber law and force the virus writers to stop playing pranks(恶作剧)on the computer users so as to let the world bug-free.41. The essential component of the computer virus is__________. [单选题] *A. a kind of wormsB. a crowed of animalsC. a kind of threatD. a set of instructions(正确答案)42. What is the passage mainly about? [单选题] *A. Computer systems are often infected by computer viruses.B. Computer viruses cause tens of thousands of US dollars of losses.C. The computer viruses and ways to deal with them.(正确答案)D. There are about 4,500 kinds of computer viruses.43. Which of the following is the main idea of Paragraph 2? [单选题] *A. There are about 4,500 kinds of computer viruses.(正确答案)B. “Love Bug” is a virus.C. “CIH” is a kind of virus.D .Computer viruses are very destructive.44. The word “eliminate” in the last Paragraph most likely means______. [单选题] *A .remove(正确答案)B .strikeC .fightD .combat45. The author’s view of how to deal with computer viruses is _______. [单选题] *A .neutralB .objective(正确答案)C .pessimisticD .optimisticPassage threeIn adulthood, the things that bring great joy------- birth, love, and marriage-----also bring responsibility and the risk of loss. Love may not last, loved ones die. For adults, happiness is complicated.My dictionary defines happy as “lucky” or “fortunate”. But I think a better definition of happiness is “the capability of enjoyment”. The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. It’s easy to neglect the pleasure we get from loving and being loved, the company(伴随)of friends, the freedom to live where we please, even good health.I added up my little moments of pleasure yesterday. First, there was great bliss when I had the house to myself. I spent a whole morning writing, which I love. When the kids came home, I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day.You never know where happiness will appear next.

A lot of people neglect the happiness in their life.Passage fourMany stories about famous people are not based on facts. They are like some of the stories that people tell about their friends, which are passed from a friend to a friend’s friend. A story that is passed from mouth to mouth in this way may be better in the end than it was in the beginning, but probably it will end up as a very different story. Each storyteller adds something or leaves something out or changes something, so by the time story is written in a book it is a long way from having any basis in fact.An English novelist(小说家)wrote a new book, and a month after it was in print, his publisher told him that a thousand copies had already been sold. That evening, the novelist had a meal with his publisher and an American friend. They talked about the new book, and the novelist told the American that 10,000 copies had been sold. Later, the publisher asked him why he had not been more accurate. “To an American, ”said the novelist, “a thousand is nothing .I multiplied(乘)the number by ten to give him a true idea of the success of the book.” This novelist was not famous for his accuracy but for his novels; He knew how to tell stories. His best novels will probably live for a long time.51. According to Paragraph One, it is thought that_______.
