In Britain and other countries, young people sometimes take a“gap

year”, a year off between high school and college. This idea never gained a

big following in America. Recent news reports have suggested that interest

may be growing, though there are no official numbers.

Charles Deacon, Dean of Admissions at Georgetown University in

Washington, D. C. estimates that in the current first-year class of 1, 600

students, only about 25 decided to take a year off. He says this number has

not changed much over the years.

Mr Deacon says the most common reason for taking a “gap year” is to

have a chance to travel, but he says international students may take a“gap

year”to meet requirements at home for military duty.

Some high school graduates see a year off as a chance to recover

after twelve years of required education, but it can also give students a

chance to explore their interests. Students hoping to be doctors, for

example, could learn about the profession by volunteering in a hospital.

Many colleges and universities support gap-year projects by

permitting students to delay their admission. Experts say students can

grow emotionally and intellectually as they work at something they enjoy.

The Harvard admissions office has an essay on its website called

“Time Out or Burn Out for the Next Generation. ”It praises the idea of taking time off to step back, think and enjoy gaining life experience outside

the pressure of studies. It also notes that students are sometimes admitted

to Harvard or other colleges partly because they did something unusual

with that time.

Of course, a“gap year”is not for everyone; students might miss their

friends who go on directly to college. And parents might worry that their

children will decide not to go to college once they take time off. Another

concern is money. A year off, away from home, can be costly.

Holly Bull’s job is to specialize in helping students plan their“gap year”.

She notes that several books have been written about this subject. She

says these books along with media attention and the availability of

information on the Internet have increased interest in the idea of a year off,

and she points out that many gap-year programs cost far less than a year

of college.

For the next few days, Mols avoided her mum. It didn’t feel right to go

to Jaz’s house, so Jaz came over to her place. They went to the beach or

hid out in her room with the iPod speakers. They stayed in at night. Mols

could sense that Carol was scared and wanted her home.

They lived in a two-storey, brown brick house on Dress Circle Road. It

was a wide, short house with low ceilings, built into the side of the hill.

Mols’s bedroom was downstairs, and it was dark and cool because it was

dug into the side of the hill. Next to her room was the laundry, and then

1、 Here is some must-know information from a handbook on how people behave in doing business in some

countries.

In Brazil

Brazilians are warm and friendly. They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the

person on the shoulder. People often greet each other (particularly women) with light cheek kisses. Schedules tend to

be flexible, with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned.But to be safe, be on time. Meals can

stretch for hours—there’s no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil. Lunches also can start in the mid to late

afternoon. Brazilians are social, preferring face-to-face communication over mails or phone calls.

In Singapore

Singaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Business

(2017·湖南十三校第一次联考) Every culture has its own unwritten list of behavior that is acceptable. Every

society also has its taboos, or types of behavior that are considered a violation

of good manners. The word taboo comes from the Tongan language and is used in modern English to

describe verbal and nonverbal behavior that is forbidden or to be avoided. __1__ They tend to be specific to a culture or country, and usually form around a group's

values and beliefs. What is considered acceptable behavior in one country may be

a serious taboo in another. Verbal taboos usually involve topics that people believe are too private to talk

about publicly, or relate to one's manner of speaking. In many cultures, for example,

it is considered bad manners to discuss subjects such as sex or religion in public.

2019届高考(浙江、江苏)英语二轮复习检测：第一部分专题9 名词性从句专题强化训练

[模拟题组一]

1．(2016·浙江温州高三五校考试)I think the doctor is able to cure of________is called a

suspect.

A．all B．what

C．whatever D．anything

解析：选C。whatever具备两个意思，其一是no matter what，引导让步状语从句；其二是anything that，引导名词性从句，在本题中，whatever引导的是一个宾语从句，whatever

在这个宾语从句中被用作主语。

2．The traveler lost his way in the woods，and________made things worse was that it was

getting dark.

A．that B．what

C．which D．as

解析：选B。主语从句________made things worse 缺少主语，应用what引导。that在名词性从句中起连接词的作用，不充当任何成分。故选B。

3．You are saying that everyone should be equal，and this is________I disagree.

A．why B．where

C．what D．how

解析：选B。考查宾语从句。disagree是不及物动词，不缺宾语，不能填代词，排除C。其余三项均在引导名词性从句时作状语，但句意要求：这就是我不赞同的地方。缺地点状语，所以选B。

4．People all over the world have a dream________they will always live a peaceful life.
