Rising at the crack of dawn, I love the adventure of tiptoeing around in the dark living room where we sleep, whispering to each other so as not to wake Aunt Celia and Uncle Martin in the bedroom, then leaving the house soundlessly and making our way to the subway station in semidarkness. By the time we reach Kings Highway, the rising day throws a mysterious light on the empty and quiet avenue ordinarily crowded with human traffic, and on the shuttered(有百叶窗的) storefronts and fruit stands now cozily(舒适的) wrapped in layers of canvas(帆布). There is a sense of mystery---a sense of power---in being here before the rest of the world awakens…as if witnessing the beginning of time.We love travelling together on the subway, Mother and I. I t’s fun to observe our fellow subway riders, exchange jokes in Hungarian, play guessing games as to their identities, their ages, and their jobs and make bets as to where they’d be getting off.In a couple of weeks Mother becomes familiar with the train route, and she no longer allows me to accompany her.“But I’ll miss the fun of travelling together in the morning,” I protest.“So will I. But it comes at a sacrifice. In order to accompany me, you must rise an hour earlier, losin g an hour’s sleep. You need that extra hour of sleep.” Mother is firm, and I have no choice but to comply and regretfully give up on our morning fun.“I hope you’ll have time to teach me English. Now that I have a job and travel alone on the subway, I’ll need to improve my vocabulary. I don’t want to depend on you every time I need to make a phone call in English, or want to take public transport.”“Okay, madam,” I agree in a happy, joking tone. “How about today? Let’s have our first lesson this evening!”Every evening I ask Mother a lot of questions about vocabulary and grammar, and indeed in a couple of weeks she learns enough to do marketing on her own and travel freely by subway.21. Which detail from the text shows that the author is excited about her life in America?A. Her resistance to the growing independence of her mother.B. Her acceptance of why she can no longer accompany her mother.C. Her description of rising early to ride the subway with her mother.D. Her discipline to work on language lessons every day with her mother22. Which of the following describes the author’s attitude towards her mother?A. Supportive.B. Disrespectful.C. Sympathetic.D. Angry.23. The text is most probably taken from ___________.A. a review of a bookB. a book about one’s life storyC. a travel magazineD. a handbook for foreigners.BWelcome to the world of multitasking---a place where the measure of a person is how many jobs they can perform at the same time. In fact, if experts are to be believed multitasking is a disastrous idea.One of the opponents(反对者) of multitasking is Dr. Clifford Nass, a professor at Stanford University. “People who multitask frequently are less able to pay attention; they are wo rse at managing their memory,” he said. In his opinion, the loss that we get with multitasking is harmless in some situations, for example, part of doing business in the digital world; but you can’t do serious work like writing, thinking or solving an impo rtant problem this way. You do worse even as you think you’re doing better. All the time the research points to a simple fact: the brain cannot cope. When you stop midway through composing a report to check an email, you force your brain to stop and regroup. It is like pressing the pause button during a movie, meaning the film takes longer to watch.And according to Dr. Nass, the problems extend beyond the brain. Young people who frequently multitask are not as socially and emotionally healthy as those who don’t. They just feel more emotionally satisfied and the feeling is so good and they are bound to desire it again. Todd Oppenheimer, a writer said, “We’ve become a very short-term society and don’t reward people for taking a lot of time on something.” He f ears we may end up losing the next generation of great thinkers. “It’s really unfortunate because the long-term challenges of our world---environmental issues, financial issues---require people to think wisely about the long-term consequences of what they do. And it’s no coincidence that the kind of people who do think long-term don’t multitask.24. According to Dr. Nass, multitasking ________.A. contributes to memorizing various thingsB. may result in losing the next generation of great thinkersC. can be performed using digital toolsD. makes the performance emotionally affected only25. From the passage, we can tell ________.A. we mistakenly believe that we’re doing better by switching between tasksB. multitasking does harm to us in every areaC. for every task you add to your multitasking, you can finish your goal more quicklyD. the loss that we get with multitasking is harmless26. Which of the following is a multitasking addict?A. You watch from start to finish without distraction when playing a DVD.B. You have your office desk covered with paperwork from various unfinished projects.C. You feel that when you try to do too much at once, the result always suffers.D. You turn your cell phone to silence when you are out to dine with friends.27. The author mainly wants to tell us _________.A. it is more efficient to do things all in a mixed wayB. it takes longer for us to become a great thinkerC. we shouldn’t be lazy if we want to accomplish many tasksD. the less you switch, the better you doCHere’s a new warning from health experts: Sitting is deadly.Scientists are increasingly warning that sitting for prolonged periods —even if you also exercise regularly —could be bad for your health. And it doesn’t matter where t he sitting takes place — at the office, at school, in the car or before a computer or TV — just the overall number of hours it occurs. Several studies suggest people who spend most of their days sitting are more likely to be fat, have a heart attack or even die.In an editorial published this week in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, Elin Ekblom-Bak of the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences suggested that authorities rethink how they define physical activity to highlight the dangers of sitting.While health officials have issued guidelines recommending minimum (最少的) amounts of physical activity, they haven’t suggested people try to limit how much time they spend in a seated position.“After four hours of sitting, the body starts to send harmful signals,” Ekblom-Bak said. She explained that genes regulating (调节) the amount of glucose (葡萄糖) and fat in the body start to shut down.Even for people who exercise, spending long periods of time sitting at a desk is still harmful. Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization, said people who exercise every day — but still spend a lot of time sitting — might get more benefit if that exercise were spread across the day, rather than in a single bout (一回).Still, in a study published last year that tracked more than 17,000 Canadians for about a dozen years, researchers found people who sat more had a higher death risk, whether or not they exercised.“We don’t have enough evidence yet to say how much sitting is bad,” said Peter Katzm arzyk of the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, who led the Canadian study. “But it seems the more you can get up and interrupt this sedentary (坐着的) behavior, the better.”Figures from a U.S. survey in 2003-2004 found Americans spend more than half their time sitting, from working at their desks to sitting in cars．Experts said more research is needed to figure out just how much sitting is dangerous, and what might be possible to offset those effects.“People should keep exercising because that has a lot of benefits,” Ekblom-Bak said. “But when they’re in the office, they should try to interrupt sitting as often as possible,” she said.28. What is the best title for the text?A. Not Sitting Too Much While WorkingB. How To Avoid Sitting Too MuchC. Sitting Too Much Could Be DeadlyD. More And More People Sit Too Much29. According to the research, ____________.A. the more time you spend in exercising in a single bout, the healthier you will beB. those who often sit too much are sure to grow fat or suffer from a heart attackC. regular exercise is effective to get rid of the side effect of sitting too muchD. you had better not sit for more than four hours in a single bout30. How does the danger of sitting too much affect the human body?A. It causes the genes to fail to balance the glucose and fat in the body.B. It increases glucose and fat in the body.C. It makes a person unable to exercise long enough in a day.D. It results in death.31. The underlined word “offset” in paragraph 10 probably means __________.A. improveB. balanceC. ignoreD. achieveDLondon isn’t for everyone. Some promising students ignore it as an option. However, others jump at the chance without proper consideration. Student life in London is very different from campus life elsewhere.The main issue for most students in deciding whether to study in the city is their sense ofhow much it will cost to live in the capital. It must be acknowledged that rental prices are the highest in the country, and students should be prepared for this even with the extra loan to offer. If you do your homework, then that is where the extra costs end.If you keep your eyes open, student discounts are everywhere and many nightclubs run student nights during the week, with student unions ensuring expensive nightlife is never an issue. And if you feel like earning a bit of extra money, generally, part-time work is pretty easy to come by.The transport network is good and generally affordable, especially with the Student Oyster photos-card, but the density of London means most journeys are possible on foot, and 24-hour buses ensure a night out that rarely requires a taxi.A final benefit of the city for students, which is seldom considered by most until they actually arrive, is the power of London to connect people. London’s status as a world city means employers, including banks such as HSBC, media companies Like BSkyB, publishers such as Penguin and every kind of business in-between, choose to locate their headquarters in London.Many of these employers provide opportunities such as networking events and interview training, which are often advertised through London universities themselves, while internships, work experience and graduate schemes are all available within the city.Of course when it comes down to personal preference, London is just one city on a long list of options, but before deciding, prospective students should try hard to find out the true reality in terms of the costs and benefits to them personally.32. Some students don’t choose London because ________.A. they have no way to get the extra loanB. they dislike doing their houseworkC. London witnesses higher rentsD. London is the capital of Great Britain33. To help out with your expense in London, you can ________.A. join a lot of student unionsB. do part-time jobs in your spare timeC. stop yourself going to nightclubsD. find a flat with a lower rent34. Before getting to London, most students usually fail to notice _______.A. so many large companies are located in LondonB. 24-hour buses can provide great convenience for themC. there live too many world-famous men and womenD. the transport network is generally the most affordable35. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Disadvantages of Studying in LondonB. High Rental Prices in LondonC. Choices to Be Avoided by StudentsD. Benefits of Studying in London七选五Choosing a college major is one of the most important choices you can make about your education and future career. 36 .

We students thought the school looks like a desert and the concrete walls like the grey sky in a rainy day. We would be much happier and are able to study well if the walls of the school could be decorated with posters, photos and paintings, that could certainly broaden our horizons. Original art work are too expensive, but unless we buy art posters, the cost will be low. Using only a little money, it can make our school a nicer place.答案索取：270527344。
