College visits are important. Before you commit years of your life and money to a school, be sure you're choosing a place that is a good match for your personality and interests. You can’t get the “feel” of a school from any guidebook, so be sure to visit the campus. Below are a few tips for getting the most out of your college visit.
Explore on Your Own
Of course you should take the official campus tour, but be sure to allow time to hang around on your own. The trained tour guides will show you a school's selling points. But the oldest and prettiest buildings don't give you the entire picture of a college. Try to walk the extra mile and get the complete picture of the campus.
Read the Bulletin Boards
When you visit the student center, academic buildings and residence halls, take a few minutes to read the bulletin boards. They provide an easy way to see what's happening on campus. The ads for lectures, clubs and plays can tell you what's going on outside the classrooms.
Eat in the Dining Hall
You can get a good feel for student life by eating in the dining hall. Try to sit with students if you can. Do the students seem happy or stressed Also, is the food good Are there adequate healthy options Many admission offices will give prospective students coupons for free meals in the dining halls.
Visit a Class in Your Major
If you know what you want to study, a class visit makes a lot of sense. You'll get to observe other students in your field and see how involved they are in classroom discussion. Try to stay after class for a few minutes and chat with the students to get their impressions of their professors and major. Be sure to call in advance to schedule a classroom visit—most colleges don't allow visitors to drop in at class unannounced. Talk to Lots of Students
Your campus tour guide has been trained to market the school. Try to talk to students who aren't getting paid to impress you. These important conversations can often provide you with information about college life that isn't part of the admission script. Few university officials will tell you if their students spend all weekend drinking or studying, but a group of random students might.

Over the past couple of days, on our local Freecycle page there have been a lot of wanted posts, all from the same person, basically asking for everything you’d need to set up a house from scratch.
One of the things they asked for was a queen-sized bed. At that time we just happened to have an extra one so I messaged them. They immediately came in the afternoon. The people who came, two ladies and a man, are actually friends of another woman named Jenny who owned a young boy. This woman has escaped from a dangerous, violent relationship and these friends of hers are helping her and her son start over again, with everything from furniture to toothbrushes on their list of needs.
While they were here, I also gave them one of our spare bookcase and some coffee cups. I even asked them to keep in touch in case they needed anything else—I have a way of connecting people with things. I offered the woman a cupboard we had as well; her friends just needed to see if there was a place and/or a need for it in their friend’s new home.
I was so excited to meet those loving people, who were obviously willing to help their friend. It was clear how protective they felt of this woman and her boy, how much they love her and wanted her to have a happy and safe life, and to spend even a few minutes with people like that is an experience I’ll remember for a long, long time.
A quick thank-you to all who have sent more donations over the last couple of days as well as lovely messages of thanks and blessings. Sometimes it’s hard to keep up with it all, but it’s a problem I’m happy to have.

Breathing dirty air comes at a high price. Air pollution lowers the average life spans (寿命) by a year worldwide and in more polluted parts of Asia and Africa, dirty air shortens lives up to twice that much. Scientists shared their new findings in Environmental Science & Technology Letters. The study used data gathered in 2016 as part of a project known as the Global Burden of Disease and was the first major country-by-country look at the connection between the length of life and what’s known as fine PM.
Air pollution has been linked to many health problems. Most earlier studies had looked at how tiny air pollutants affected rates of illness or death. Joshua Apte is an environmental scientist at the University of Texas at Austin. By looking at life expectancy (预期寿命), his team had hoped to make the threat easier to understand. PM2.5 is what scientists call tiny particles (颗粒) of pollution in the air. Higher levels of PM2.5 can cause health problems and cut months, if not years, from the average length of life. This analysis shows how pollution affects life expectancy in different parts of the world.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends limiting PM2.5 to 10 micrograms per cubic meter of air. Apte’s group calculated how holding pollution to this low level would help people. In countries with very dirty air, meeting this standard would lengthen people’s lives. However, in countries whose air already meets this standard, the study shows no gain in life expectancy. In other words, meeting the WHO standard won’t reduce health costs resulting from dirty air because even below 10 micrograms per cubic meter, pollution still causes serious risks. Meanwhile, the scientists compared how other threats including smoking and cancer shorten the length of life across the globe.
8. What is special about the study
A It won recognition from a professional journal.
B. It discussed health problems caused by air pollution.
C. It gathered lots of data for the Global Burden of Disease.
D. It analyzed the link between life spans and PM by country.
9. What is Joshua Apte’s team trying to do
A. Help people better understand air pollution.
B. Study life expectancy in different countries.
C. Know how small air pollutants affect health.
D. Deal with different kinds of health problems.
10. What will happen if a country limits PM2.5 to 10 micrograms per cubic meter of air
A. People’s life spans will surely increase. B. It will get strong support from the WHO.
C. People’s health may not be much improved. D. It will guarantee people clean air.
11. What might be discussed in the following paragraphs
A. How cleaning up the air can lengthen lives.
B. How air pollution shortens lives by country.
C. How other threats shorten life expectancy.
D. How all the countries deal with severe pollution.
D
While every dog owner knows their dogs can read their moods perfectly, scientists have always been a piffle doubtful．Now thanks to some researchers at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna, Austria; we finally have some convincing evidence．
For their study, biologist Corson Miller and his team exposés eleven selected dogs to digital images of women that were either angry or happy．Half the dogs were rewired for touching the screen when shove a happy face, while the other half gilt their treat for selecting those that appeared angry．
Interestingly, the dogs were not provided with the entire face．Some dogs were show Ti only upper halves while the others observed lower halves．That's because the scientists believe humans show their eruptions on their equities face．
After some training on how to recognize small differences like the wrinkles between the eyes or the changes in their shape that accompany the happy or angry expressions, the dogs were mostly able to identify the correct expression not only on a familiar face but on a strange face, the researchers concluded the dogs were smart-enough to read human emotions．
They also found those being trained to read angry expressions took a longer time to learn．They guess it may be because dogs find angry faces disgusting, causing them to withdraw quickly．However, once the smart dogs realized they were getting rewired, the trepidation seem end to disappear．In fact, the dogs had such a good time playing the computer "game" That scientists had a hard time keeping them away from the touch screens after the study was completed．
The researchers also noticed only dogs with a male owner had a harder time understanding the expressions correctly．Since the touches careen models were all females, this confirmed what has been observed in previous studies-dogs are more efficient at reading facial expressions of people that are the serene gender as their owner．
12. How did the scientists conduct the experiment
A. By leaving dogs to women who are either happy or angry．
B. By mixing the selected dogs together．
C. By rewarding only half of the dogs touching the screen．
D. By showing digital pictures of women's happy or angry faces．
13. Which of the following statements is TRUE
A. The dogs were not all provided with the entire face,
B. According to their size, the dogs were given either upper or lower halves．
C. The dogs could read even small changes that accountancy facial expressions after some training．
D. The dogs couldn't read strangers facial emotions．
14. The underlined word "trepidation" in Paragraph 5 probably means .
A. horror B. curiosity
C. excitement D. doubt
15. How might the results change if the dogs with female owners are shown pictures of male faces
A. They could only tell commotions on partial faces rather than on entire face's．
B. They found it hard to tell the moods on the faces of a different gender．
C. They found it easy to tell the emotions on the entire -face．
D. They would be scared away at the sight of the pictures．

Breathing dirty air comes at a high price. Air pollution lowers the average life spans (寿命) by a year worldwide and in more polluted parts of Asia and Africa, dirty air shortens lives up to twice that much. Scientists shared their new findings in Environmental Science & Technology Letters. The study used data gathered in 2016 as part of a project known as the Global Burden of Disease and was the first major country-by-country look at the connection between the length of life and what’s known as fine PM.

Joshua Apte is an environmental scientist at the University of Texas at Austin. By looking at life expectancy (预期寿命), his team had hoped to make the threat easier to understand. PM2.5 is what scientists call tiny particles (颗粒) of pollution in the air. Higher levels of PM2.5 can cause health problems and cut months, if not years, from the average length of life. This analysis shows how pollution affects life expectancy in different parts of the world.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends limiting PM2.5 to 10 micrograms per cubic meter of air. Apte’s group calculated how holding pollution to this low level would help people. In countries with very dirty air, meeting this standard would lengthen people’s lives. However, in countries whose air already meets this standard, the study shows no gain in life expectancy. In other words, meeting the WHO standard won’t reduce health costs resulting from dirty air because even below 10 micrograms per cubic meter, pollution still causes serious risks. Meanwhile, the scientists compared how other threats including smoking and cancer shorten the length of life across the globe.
8. What is special about the study
A. It won recognition from a professional journal.
B. It discussed health problems caused by air pollution.
C. It gathered lots of data for the Global Burden of Disease.
D. It analyzed the link between life spans and PM by country.
9. What is Joshua Apte’s team trying to do
A. Help people better understand air pollution.
B. Study life expectancy in different countries.
C. Know how small air pollutants affect health.
D. Deal with different kinds of health problems.
10. What will happen if a country limits PM2.5 to 10 micrograms per cubic meter of air
A. People’s life spans will surely increase. B. It will get strong support from the WHO.
C. People’s health may not be much improved. D. It will guarantee people clean air.
11. What might be discussed in the following paragraphs
A. How cleaning up the air can lengthen lives.
B. How air pollution shortens lives by country.
C. How other threats shorten life expectancy.
D. How all the countries deal with severe pollution.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. C

【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Meanwhile, the scientists compared how other threats including smoking and cancer shorten the length of life across the globe.（与此同时，科学家们比较了包括吸烟和癌症在内的其他威胁是如何缩短全球寿命的。）由此推知，接下来要讨论的是“其他威胁如何缩短预期寿命。”故选C。

Interestingly, the dogs were not provided with the entire face．Some dogs were show Ti only upper halves while the others observed lower halves．That's because the scientists believe humans show their eruptions on their equities face．
After some training on how to recognize small differences like the wrinkles between the eyes or the changes in their shape that accompany the happy or angry expressions, the dogs were mostly able to identify the correct expression not only on a familiar face but on a strange face, the researchers concluded the dogs were smart-enough to read human emotions．
They also found those being trained to read angry expressions took a longer time to learn．They guess it may be because dogs find angry faces disgusting, causing them to withdraw quickly．However, once the smart dogs realized they were getting rewired, the trepidation seem end to disappear．In fact, the dogs had such a good time playing the computer "game" That scientists had a hard time keeping them away from the touch screens after the study was completed．
The researchers also noticed only dogs with a male owner had a harder time understanding the expressions correctly．Since the touches careen models were all females, this confirmed what has been observed in previous studies-dogs are more efficient at reading facial expressions of people that are the serene gender as their owner．
12. How did the scientists conduct the experiment
A. By leaving dogs to women who are either happy or angry．
B. By mixing the selected dogs together．
C. By rewarding only half of the dogs touching the screen．

【点睛】完形填空是高考英语中最难的一个题，正确解答完形填空题是考试成功至关重要的保障。完形填空所选的文章都是具有逻辑关系、意义相连的语篇，因此，在行文中不可避免地会出现词语的复现、前后同义或反义、相互照应等现象。所以，解题时应联系上下文寻找相关线索，如某一个词的原词、指代词、同义词、近义词、上义词、下义词和概括词等。完形填空的解题方法很多，而词汇复现法就是最常见的方法之一。词汇复现包括原词复现、同义词复现、同根词复现、概括词复现以及结构复现等。本题中的4小题中的music；7小题中的singer；13小题中的signing和signed等都采用了同义词或原词复现的方法。但由于我们在做题时不可能总是重复地阅读文章，因此，在做完形填空时要培养一种捕捉并记忆相关信息的能力。
